9 ¹Koma Saulo, akadali kupuma ziwopsezo ndi kupha pa ophunzira a Ambuye, anapita kwa mkulu wa ansembe, ²napempha kwa iye makalata opita ku masunagoge a ku Damasiko, kuti ngati apeza wina aliyense wa Njira, amuna kapena akazi, akawabweretse atawamanga ku Yerusalemu. ^a a v2 “Njira” linali dzina loyambirira la otsatira a Yesu, asanatchedwe Akhristu. ³Pamene anali kuyenda nayandikira ku Damasiko, mwadzidzidzi kuwala kochokera kumwamba kunamuwalira mozungulira.

⁴Anagwa pansi, namva mau akuti, “Saulo, Saulo, ukundizunziranji?”

⁵Anati, “Ndinu yani, Ambuye?” Ndipo Iye anati, “Ine ndine Yesu, amene ukumzunza.

⁶Koma imirira, ulowe mu mzinda, ndipo udzauzidwa chimene uyenera kuchita.”

⁷Amuna amene anali kuyenda naye anaima chete, akumva mau koma osaona wina aliyense. ⁸Saulo anadzuka pansi, koma ndi maso otseguka sanaone kanthu; anamtsogolera ndi dzanja, namulowetsa mu Damasiko. ⁹Anakhala wosaona masiku atatu, osadya ndi osamwa.

¹⁰Kunali wophunzira wina dzina lake Ananiya ku Damasiko. Mu masomphenya Ambuye anati, “Ananiya.” Iye anayankha, “Ndili pano, Ambuye.”

¹¹Ambuye anati kwa iye, “Dzuka, upite ku msewu wotchedwa Wolunjika, ukafunefune m'nyumba ya Yuda munthu wa ku Tariso dzina lake Saulo—iye akupemphera, ¹²ndipo mu masomphenya waona munthu dzina lake Ananiya alowa, naika manja ake pa iye kuti aonenso.”

¹³Ananiya anayankha, “Ambuye, ambiri andiuza za munthu uyu—zoipa zimene wachitira oyera mtima anu ku Yerusalemu. ¹⁴Ndipo pano ali ndi ulamuliro wochokera kwa akulu a ansembe wakumanga onse amene aitanira pa dzina lanu.”

¹⁵Koma Ambuye anati kwa iye, “Pita, pakuti munthu uyu ndi chida changa chosankhidwa chonyamula dzina langa pamaso pa mitundu ya anthu, mafumu, ndi ana a Israeli. ¹⁶Pakuti Ine ndidzamuonetsa kuchuluka kwa zowawa zimene ayenera kumva chifukwa cha dzina langa.”

¹⁷Ananiya anapita, nalowa m'nyumba. Anaika manja pa Saulo nati, “M'bale Saulo, Ambuye Yesu—amene anakuonekera pa njira umene unkuyenda—anandituma kuti uonenso ndi kudzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera.” ¹⁸Nthawi yomweyo chinthu ngati mamba chinagwa kuchokera m'maso mwake, ndipo anatha kuonanso. Anadzuka, nabatizidwa, ¹⁹ndipo atadya, anapezanso mphamvu zake. Kwa masiku angapo anali ndi ophunzira ku Damasiko, ²⁰ndipo nthawi yomweyo anayamba kulalikira Yesu m'masunagoge, kuti Iye ndi Mwana wa Atate wathu. ²¹Onse amene anamva anadabwa nati, “Kodi uyu si munthu uja amene anachita chiwonongeko chachikulu mu Yerusalemu pakati pa amene anaitanira pa dzina ili? Ndipo kodi sanadze kuno pa chifukwa ichi: kuwabweretsa atawamanga kwa akulu a ansembe?”

²²Koma Saulo anakula mphamvu kuposa, nasokoneza Ayuda amene anakhala ku Damasiko potsimikizira kuti uyu ndi Khristu.

²³Masiku ambiri atapita, Ayuda anapangana zomupha, ²⁴koma Saulo anadziwa za chiwembu chawo; iwo anali kulondera pazipata usana ndi usiku kuti amuphe, ²⁵koma usiku ophunzira ake anamutsitsa kudzera pa khoma m'dengu.

²⁶Atafika ku Yerusalemu, anayesa kudziphatika ndi ophunzira, koma onse anamuopa, osakhulupirira kuti iye anali wophunzira. ²⁷Koma Baranaba anamtenga, namfikitsa kwa atumwi, nafotokoza momwe Saulo anaonera Ambuye pa njira, amene ananena naye, ndi momwe ku Damasiko analalikira molimba mtima m'dzina la Yesu. ²⁸Choncho anali nawo, akuyendayenda mwaufulu mu Yerusalemu, akulalikira molimba mtima m'dzina la Ambuye. ²⁹Ananena nakambirana ndi Ahelene, koma iwo anali kufuna kumupha. ^b b v29 Ahelene: Ayuda olankhula Chigriki amene analandira chinenero ndi chikhalidwe cha Chigriki. ³⁰Pamene abale anadziwa izi, anamtsitsira ku Kaisareya, namtumiza ku Tariso.

Mwana Achiritsa Aneya Kudzera mwa Petro

³¹Choncho mpingo mu Yudeya yonse, Galileya, ndi Samariya unali ndi mtendere nulimbikitsidwa; ukuyenda mu kuopa Ambuye nutonthozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, unachuluka mu chiwerengero.

³²Pamene Petro anali kuyenda pakati pa okhulupirira onse, anatsikiranso kwa oyera mtima amene anakhala ku Luda. ³³Kumeneko anapeza munthu dzina lake Aneya, amene anagona pa bedi zaka zisanu ndi zitatu, amene anali wofa ziwalo. ³⁴Petro anati kwa iye, “Aneya, Yesu Khristu akuchiritsa. Dzuka, uyale bedi lako.” Nthawi yomweyo anadzuka. ³⁵Ndipo onse amene anakhala ku Luda ndi Saroni anamuona, natembenukira kwa Ambuye.

³⁶Ku Yopa kunali wophunzira wina dzina lake Tabita, kutanthauza Dorka. Iye anali wodzala ndi ntchito zabwino ndi chithandizo cha osauka. ^c c v36 Onse awiri Tabita (Chiaramu) ndi Dorka (Chigriki) amatanthauza “mphoyo.” ³⁷M'masiku amenewo anadwala, nafa; anamsambitsa, namugoneka m'chipinda chapamwamba. ³⁸Popeza Luda inali pafupi ndi Yopa, ophunzira amene anamva kuti Petro anali komweko anatuma amuna awiri kwa iye, akuchonderera, “Musachedwe kudza kwa ife.” ³⁹Choncho Petro anadzuka, napita nawo. Atafika, anamfikitsa ku chipinda chapamwamba. Akazi amasiye onse anaima pafupi naye akulira, akuonetsa malaya ndi mikanjo imene Dorka anapanga pamene anali nawo. ⁴⁰Petro anatulutsa aliyense panja, nagwada, napemphera. Natembenukira ku mtembo, anati, “Tabita, dzuka.” Iye anatsegula maso ake, naona Petro, nadzuka nakhala. ⁴¹Namupatsa dzanja lake, namuukitsa. Naitana oyera mtima ndi akazi amasiye, namuonetsa ali wamoyo. ⁴²Ndipo zinadziwika mu Yopa yonse, ndipo ambiri anakhulupirira Ambuye. ⁴³Ndipo anakhala ku Yopa masiku ambiri ndi munthu wina dzina lake Simoni, wosenda zikopa.
