26 ¹Agripa apanga Paulu kuti: “Watawirwa kulonga wekhene.” Na tenepo Paulu athambatsa djanja yace mbatoma kudzitsidzikiza.

²Mambo Agripa, ndisadziona ninga munthu wakutsandzaya thangwi lero ndinakwanisa kudzitsidzikiza pamaso panu, kutawira mapambiziro onsene a Ajuda, ³makamaka thangwi imwe musadziwa mwadidi miyambo yonsene na makani akunetesana a Ajuda; natenepo ndisakuphembani toera kundibvesera mwakupirira.

⁴Ajuda onsene asadziwa umaso wanga kubulukira mu uwana wanga, udandikhala kubulukira pakutoma pakati pa mbumba yanga na mu Yerusalema. ⁵Iwo asandidziwa kale, mbangafuna kupereka umboni, kuti mwakubverana na nsoka wakuwanga kakamwe wa cipembedzo cathu, ine ndakhala ninga Nfarisi. ⁶Na cincino ndalimira kuti nditongwe thangwi ya cidikhiro mu pikiro idacita Baba wathu kuna ambuya athu. ⁷Madzinza athu khumi na mawiri asadikhira kufika pa pikiro ineyi, mban'lambira mwaphinga masiku na masikati. Thangwi ya cidikhiro ici, mambo, ndisapambizirwa na Ajuda. ⁸Thangwi yanji imwe musaona kuti nkhabe kukhulupirika kuti Baba wathu asalamusa anyakufa?

⁹Ine ndekhene ndikhanyerezera kuti ndisafunika kucita pinthu pizinji pakupokana na dzina ya Yezu wa ku Nazareti. ¹⁰Ndi pyene pidacita ine mu Yerusalema: na utongi udandipasa akulu a anyantsembe, ndafungira anthu akucena azinji mu kaidi, mbandipereka fala yanga toera aphiwe pikhaphiwa iwo. ¹¹Mu nyumba zonsene zakulambira ndikhaalanga kazinji kene, mbandiyesera kuakakamiza toera alonge mwakupokana na Mulungu; mwaukali ukulu kuna iwo, ndikhaalondola mpaka ku mizinda ya madziko anango.

¹²Mu ulendo ubodzi wa tenepa, ndaenda ku Damasko na utongi na kutumwa kudandipasa akulu a anyantsembe. ¹³Pakati pa ntsiku, imwe mambo, ndaona pa njira ceza cakubuluka kudzulu, cakuyetima kupita dzuwa, cikhayetima kunzunguluka ine na andzanga a ulendo.

¹⁴Tonsene tagwa pantsi, ndabva fala ikhandilonga mu Cihebheri kuti: “Saulo, Saulo, thangwi yanji usanditcinga? Ndi kwakunentsa kwa iwe kumenya nthonga zakutsokonya.” ^a a v14 “Kumenya nthonga” ukhali nsangani wakudziwika wakulonga ng'ombe yakuuma nsolo inapokana na nthonga ya nyakulima — kukhonda bvera kusakupweza iwe wekhene basi.

¹⁵Ndabvundza: “Ndimwe ani, Mbuya?” Mbuya alonga: “Ine ndine Yezu, ule unanditcinga iwe.

¹⁶Mbwenye lamuka, limira na miyendo yako—ndadzionekesa kuna iwe thangwi ya ici: toera kukuikha ntumiki na mboni wa pinthu pidaona iwe pya Ine, na pinafuna Ine kudzakupangiza, ¹⁷mbandikupulumusa ku mbumba yako na ku anthu a madziko—kuna iwo kunakutuma Ine, ¹⁸toera kufungula maso awo, toera abuluke mu cidima mbaenda ku ceza, na mu mphambvu ya Sathani mbabwerera kuna Baba wathu, mbatambira kulekererwa kwa madawo awo na mbuto pakati pa ale adacitwa akucena na cikhulupiro mu Ine.”

¹⁹Natenepo, Mambo Agripa, nee ndakhonda kubvera masomphenya a kudzulu, ²⁰mbwenye ndadziwisa pakutoma kuna ale a mu Damasko, buluka penepo mu Yerusalema na mu cisa consene ca Yudeya, na kuna anthu a madziko pontho, kuti atcunyuke mbabwerera kuna Baba wathu, mbacita mabasa anabverana na kutcunyuka kwawo. ²¹Thangwi ya ici Ajuda andiphata mu templo mbayesera kundipha. ²²Na ciphedzo ca Baba wathu, mpaka lero ndalimira mbandipereka umboni kuna anang'ono na akulu, mbandikhonda kulonga cinthu cakupita pidalonga aprofeta na Mose kuti pinadzacitika: ²³kuti Kirixtu asafunika kuthabuka, na, ninga wakutoma kulamuka kubulukira ku anyakufa, adzadziwise ceza kuna mbumba yathu na kuna anthu a madziko.

²⁴Mukhadzitsidzikiza Paulu, Festo akhuwa kuti: “Paulu, wapenga! Kupfundza kwako kukulu kunakucitisa kupenga.”

²⁵Mbwenye Paulu alonga: “Ine nkhabe kupenga, imwe Festo wakulemedzeka kakamwe; ndisalonga mafala a undimomwene na a ndzeru. ²⁶Mambo asadziwa pinthu ipi—ndisalonga kuna iye mwakukhonda gopa. Ndisakhulupira kuti nkhabe cinthu ca pyenepi cidam'bisalira, thangwi nee pyacitwa pa mbuto yakubisala. ²⁷Mambo Agripa, musakhulupira aprofeta? Ndisadziwa kuti imwe musakhulupira.”

²⁸Agripa alonga: “Mwakucimbiza tenepa musafuna kundikopa toera ndikhale Nkristu?”

²⁹Paulu alonga: “Mu n'dzidzi wakucepa peno wakulapha, ndisaphembera kuna Baba wathu kuti si imwe basi tayu, mbwenye onsene anandibvesera lero akhale ninga ine—kusiyapo maunyolo awa.”

³⁰Penepo mambo alamuka, pabodzi na ntongi na Bernise na ale akhadakhala pabodzi na iwo.

³¹Mukhabuluka iwo, apangana okha kuti: “Munthu uyu nkhabe kuthema kufa nee kufungirwa mu kaidi.”

³²Agripa apanga Festo kuti: “Munthu uyu mbadasudzulwa mbangadakhonda kupembera kuna Sezari.”
