9 Lelo Sauli, uwali acili aletiinya abasambi+ ba kwa Shikulu kabili uwalefwaisha ukubepaya,+ aile kuli shimapepo mukalamba 2 no kumulomba bakalata ba kutwala ku masunagoge* aya ku Damaseke, pa kuti bonse Aba Nshila,*+ abaume na banakashi, abo engasanga akabalete nabakakwa ku Yerusalemu.
3 Nomba ilyo aleya, cilya apalama ku Damaseke, e lyo mu kupumikisha ulubuuto ukufuma mu muulu lwabyatile no kumushinguluka,+ 4 kabili awile pa nshi no kumfwa ishiwi lilemweba, aliti: “Sauli, Sauli, ninshi ulencushisha?”+ 5 Atile: “Ni mwe bani, mwe Shikulu?” Na o atile: “Nine Yesu, uo ulecusha.+ 6 Nomba ima,+ ingila mu musumba, kabili ukebwa ico ufwile ukucita.” 7 Awe abaume abale-enda nankwe+ baiminine fye tondolo,+ ukuba kwena baleumfwa iciunda ce shiwi,+ lelo tabamwene umuntu nangu umo. 8 Awe Sauli aimine pa nshi, nelyo ashibatwile amenso, talemona kantu.+ E ico bamwikete ku kuboko no kumutungulula ku Damaseke. 9 Kabili pa nshiku shitatu talemona,+ kabili talelya nangu ukunwa.
10 Mu Damaseke mwalimo umusambi, ishina lyakwe ni Anania,+ kabili Shikulu amwitile mu cimonwa ati: “Anania!” Na o atile: “E po ndi, mwe Shikulu.” 11 Shikulu amwebele ati: “Ima, kabiye no musebo uwitwa Uwaololoka, na pa ng’anda ya kwa Yuda ufwayepo umwina Tarsi,+ ishina lyakwe ni Sauli. Pantu, mona! alepepa, 12 kabili mu cimonwa namona umuntu uwitwa Anania aingila no kumubikapo iminwe ukuti ashibulwe amenso.”+ 13 Lelo Anania ayaswike ati: “Mwe Shikulu, nalyumfwa ku bengi pali uyu muntu, no bubi ubwingi acitile ku ba mushilo benu ku Yerusalemu. 14 Kabili nomba intungulushi sha bashimapepo shalimupeela amaka ya kukaka bonse abalilila kwi shina lyenu.”+ 15 Lelo Shikulu amwebele ati: “Kabiye, pantu uyu muntu cipe+ ico nasala ku kutwala ishina lyandi ku bena fyalo+ na ku shamfumu+ na ku bana ba kwa Israele. 16 Pantu nkamulanga apabuuta ifingi ifyo akaculila ishina lyandi.”+
17 Awe Anania aliile no kuyaingila mu ng’anda, kabili amubikilepo iminwe no kutila: “Sauli, munyinane, Shikulu Yesu ulya uwamoneke kuli iwe mu musebo waleisamo, nantuma, pa kuti ushibulwe amenso no kwisulamo umupashi wa mushilo.”+ 18 Kabili ilyo line mu menso yakwe mwaponene ifyamoneke kwati mamba ye sabi, na menso yakwe yalishibwilwe; e lyo aimine no kubatishiwa, 19 kabili aliliile ifya kulya no kukwata amaka.+
Aikele na basambi inshiku shimo mu Damaseke,+ 20 kabili ilyo line fye atendeke ukushimika pali Yesu+ mu masunagoge, ukuti Mwana wa kwa Lesa. 21 Lelo bonse abalemumfwa balepapa, abati: “Bushe uyu te walesansa+ aba mu Yerusalemu abalilila kwi shina ili, kabili bushe te uyu wine mulandu aishiile na kuno kwine pa kuti abakake no kubatwala ku ntungulushi sha bashimapepo?”+ 22 Lelo Sauli alekoselako fye mu mulimo wakwe kabili alepapusha abaYuda abaikele mu Damaseke ilyo alebalondolwela bwino ukuti uyu e Kristu.+
23 Nomba ilyo inshiku ishingi shapitilepo, abaYuda bapangene ukumwipaya.+ 24 Lelo, ipange lyabo lyaishileishibikwa kuli Sauli. Awe bena balelinda ne mpongolo akasuba no bushiku pa kuti bamwipaye.+ 25 E ico abasambi bakwe balimubuulile ubushiku no kumupushisha pa cipunda mu cibumba, ukumwikishisha mu museke.+
26 Ilyo afikile ku Yerusalemu,+ aeseshe ukuilunda ku basambi; lelo bonse balemutiina, pantu tabasumine ukuti musambi. 27 Lelo Barnaba alimwafwile+ no kumutungulula ku batumwa, e lyo alabalondolwela fyonse ifyo amwene Shikulu+ ne fyo alandile nankwe+ mu musebo, ne fyo mu Damaseke+ alandile no kushipa mwi shina lya kwa Yesu. 28 Kabili atwalilile ukuba pamo na bo, alepitana mu Yerusalemu, alelanda no kushipa mwi shina lya kwa Shikulu;+ 29 kabili alelanda na baYuda abalelanda iciGriki no kubashinina. Lelo aba balapanga ukumwipaya.+ 30 Ilyo aba bwananyina baishibe ici, bamutwele ku Kaisarea no kumutuma ku Tarsi.+
31 Kabili abasumina+ bonse mu Yudea na mu Galili na mu Samaria baikele mu mutende, balekoshiwa; kabili ilyo batwalilile ukuba na katiina kuli Yehova+ no kusansamushiwa no mupashi+ wa mushilo, balefulilako.
32 Nomba ilyo Petro alepita mu fitungu fyonse atentemukile na ku ba mushilo abaikele mu Luda.+ 33 E ko asangile umuntu umo, ishina lyakwe ni Enea, uushaleima pa busanshi bwakwe pa myaka cinekonsekonse (8), ico aali no bulebe. 34 Na Petro amwebele ati:+ “Enea, Yesu Kristu akuposha.+ Ima no kwanshika ubusanshi bobe.” Na o aliimine ilyo line. 35 Kabili bonse abaikele mu Luda na mwi lungu lya Sharone+ balimumwene, kabili basumine muli Shikulu.+
36 Lelo mu Yopa+ mwalimo umusambi, ishina lyakwe ni Tabita, mu ciGriki ni Dorka.* Alebomba imilimo+ isuma iingi nga nshi kabili aali kapekape. 37 Lelo muli shilya nshiku alilwele no kufwa. E ico balimusambile no kumubika mu muputule wa pa muulu. 38 Apo ku Luda kwali mupepi na ku Yopa,+ ilyo abasambi baumfwile ukuti Petro ali muli ulya musumba batumineko abaume babili ukuyamupapaata, ati: “Wikokola ukwisa kuli ifwe.” 39 Na o Petro aliimine no kuya na bo. Kabili ilyo afikile, bamutwele ku muputule wa pa muulu; na bamukamfwilwa bonse baishile kuli ena balelila no kumulanga ifya kufwala ifingi e lyo na malaya ayengi,+ ifyo Dorka alebabilila ilyo aali na bo.+ 40 Lelo Petro afumishe bonse pa nse,+ kabili ilyo afukeme, alipepele, kabili ilyo apilibukile ku citumbi atile: “Tabita, ima!” Na o aliloleshe, kabili ilyo amwene Petro, aliikele.+ 41 Petro amutambike ukuboko, no kumwimya,+ kabili aitile aba mushilo na bamukamfwilwa no kumulanga kuli bena uwa mweo.+ 42 Ici caishibikwe monse mu Yopa, na bengi balisumine muli Shikulu.+ 43 Petro aikele inshiku ishingi mu Yopa+ pamo na Simone, kanyuka+ wa mpapa.
