1 Koga Sawuli, waka etjahlisidzila zwe badiyiwa baHe ngekubabulaya, wakayenda kumphirisiti nkulu 2 akanokumbila whalo dzeyenda kumasinagogu ekuDamasikasi, kuti akawana kuna bamwe batobeli bayiyeyi Zila, betjilume kene betjikadzi, abuye nabo bakasungwa kuJerusalema.

3 Ngono wakati atjimugwendo oswika kuDamasikasi, tjinyolotjo kwakapenya tjedza tjinobva kudzimu pawunli. 4 Wakawila pasi akawha whi liti kuwunli, "Sawuli, Sawuli, unondidziyidzilani kene?"

5 Iye wakati, "Ndimwi yani He?"

Whi likahandula liti, "Ndimi Yesu, wawunodziyidza; 6 koga, milika ungine munzi-nkulu, nowhobudziwa tjawunowhothama."

7 Balume baaka eyenda nabo bakama bakanyalala bakati whuu, bewha whi koga nhu unolebeleka basingawumbone. 8 Sawuli wakamuka pasi; akati ahhula meho akasibone tjinhu; ndizo ke bakawukweba ngeluboko bakayenda naye kuDamasikasi. 9 Wakaba bhofu kwemahhuba matatu, kakale asingadle asingan'we.

10 Kwake kuna umwe ndhiyiwa muDamasikasi zina lile lake liyi Ananiyasi. He wakati kuwunli mutjilakidzo, "Ananiyasi."

Iye akahandula eti, "Ndipano He."

11 He wakati kuwunli, "Milika uyende kuzila inoyi Tambunuka, unobhuzwa mun'umba yaJudasi nekwenlume unoyi Sawuli wekuThasasi; nekuti linga, unotembezela saku wali, 12 kakale wabona nlume unoyi Ananiyasi ebuya ewhowumbiga maboko kuti apofunuke."

13 Koga Ananiyasi wakahandula eti, "He, ndakawha kubva kubanjinji nekwenlume iwhoyu, kuti wakathama bubi gungapani kubayengemali benyu bemuJerusalema; 14 napano unamasimba aakapiwa nebaphirisiti bakulu kuti asunge banhu bose banodana zina lenyu."

15 Koga He wakati kuwunli, "Yenda ngobe watjibe tjidla tjangu tjahagwa tjinowhosenga zina langu mbeli kweBataya nabomambo nebana baIsirayeli; 16 ngobe ndowhowunlakidza kuti wakafanila dziyila kungapani edziyilila zina langu."

17 Ndizo Ananiyasi wakamilika eyenda akanongina mun'umba iyeyo. Ewumbiga maboko wakati, "Gamu langu Sawuli, He Yesu iye wakazwilakidza kukuli muzila yawakabuya nayo, wandituma kudze ubone kakale, ukohhadziwa neMeya Yakayengemala." 18 Tjinyolotjo kwakawa zwinhu zwinonga makwapa zwibva mumeho awe akatangisa bona kakale. Akamilika akanobvubikiwa, 19 akadla zodliwa akawana masimba.

Wakagala kwemahhuba manjinji ana badiyiwa muDamasikasi. 20 Wakabva atangisa leba nekwaYesu mumasinagogu, eti, "Unkololo weNdzimu."

21 Bose bakawuwha bakatjenama beti, "Kati atayiye iwhoyu nhu wakamusa bhonyongo, muJerusalema, nekwebanhu baka bedana zina ileli? Ngono haazohhila iko zwako kuti ayende nabo kumphirisiti nkulu bali bakasungwa?"

22 Koga Sawuli wakayendilambeli ekula mumasimba, akahanganya miholo maJuta aka egala muDamasikasi ngelakidza kuti Yesu ndiye Khirisitu.

23 Kwakati kwapinda mahhuba manjinji maJuta akalangana kuti awumbulaye; 24 koga Sawuli wakakuziba langana kwawo. Aka akalinda mikoba yenzi siku nesikati, kuyetila kuti awumbulaye; 25 koga badiyiwa bakawuntjuludza guma lenzi-nkulu bakawudelusa ali mutundu, guli busiku.

26 Wakati aswika kuJerusalema akayedza kuti azwibhatshanye nebamwe badiyiwa; koga bakawunhla, ngobe besingagalemoyo kuti watjibe ndhiyiwa. 27 Koga Bhanabhasi wakawuntola, akawuhhisa kubapositoli, akabalondesedzela kuti wakabona He tjini ali muzila, akalebeleka naye, nekuti wakasumikila tjini kuDamasikasi muzina laYesu. 28 Ndizo wakagala nabo, eyenda muJerusalema esumikila muzina laHe akahalabvuka. 29 Wakalebeleka kakale ekakabadzana nemaJuta anolebeleka tjiGiriki; koga ibo baka yedza wumbulaya. 30 Koga hama dzakati dzakuziba, dzikawunsa kuKhesariya, dzikawuyendesa kuThasasi.

31 Ndizo gubungano letshipi muJudiya, nemuGalile, nemuSamariya yose lakabe nekunyalala likabakika; kakale ngeyenda mukuhla He nenyaladziwa neMeya yakaYengemala, lakakula.

32 Sangwenu kwakati Phethiro eyenda yeno nayeno pakati kwabo bose, wakaswika kose nekubayengemali baka begala kuLayida. 33 Ikweno wakanowana nlume unoyi Eniyasi, waka alilele pasi asingamuke mungubo kwemakole ali hhanakadzi akalobgwa negulukadzi. 34 Phethiro wakati kuwunli, "Eniyasi, Yesu Khirisitu unokupodza; milika uwalule ngubo dzidzo." Tjinyolotjo akamilika. 35 Bose bagali bekuLayida neSharoni bakawumbona, bakahandukila kuna He.

36 KuJopha kwaka kuna umwe ndhiyiwa wetjikadzi waka eyi Thabitha, kunobva kuti Dokhasi, wake ana mihingo yakanaka yebhatsha bahayi. 37 Mumahhuba iyawo wakagwala akafa; bakati bawungudza bakawunlalisa mun'umba yapehhugwi. 38 Saku Layida yaka ili pedlo neJopha, badiyiwa bakati bewha kuti Phethiro uyikweno, bakawuntumila balume babili benowunkumbilisisa beti, "Tokumbila ubuye nekulibilidza." 39 Ndizo Phethiro wakamilika akayenda nabo. Akati aswika bakawuyendisa kun'umba yapehhugwi. Njhilikadzi dzose dzakama ntome kukwe dzilila, dziwunlakidza nhako nezwimwe zwiyambalo zwaka zwipfumiwa naDokhasi atjinabo. 40 Koga Phethiro wakabadusila kuhhe bose, akapfigama akatembezela; akati ehandukila kutjidumbu akati, "Thabitha, muka." Akahhula meho awe, akati ebona Phethiro akamuka akagala. 41 Akaba ewumbhata neluboko akawumilidza. Akadana bayengemali nenjhilikadzi akabaswisa iye ali mpenyu. 42 Kukazibgwa muJopha yose, banjinji bakagalamoyo muna He. 43 Akagala muJopha kwemahhuba manjinji anaSimoni, nsuki wemakukuta.
