Paulo a tshi anetshela zwa u rembuluwa hawe
6“Musi ndi nḓilani, ndi tshi vho hovhelela Damasko, masiari tshivhangalala kathihi fhedzi nda penyelwa nga tshedza tshihulu tshi tshi bva ṱaḓulu, tsha tou mputela. 7Nda wela fhasi nda pfa ipfi ḽi tshi ri, ‘Saulo!

12“Henefho ho vha hu na muṅwe munna a no pfi Ananiasi, muthu a ofhaho Mudzimu, a tevhedzaho Mulayo, a huliswaho nga Majuda vhoṱhe vha dzulaho henefho. 13A ḓa a ima tsini hanga a ri, ‘Paulo murathu wanga, dovhani ni vhone!’ Kathihi fhedzi nda mbo ḓi dovha nda vhona, nda mu lavhelesa. 14A dovha a ri, ‘Mudzimu wa vhomakhulukuku washu o ni nanga uri ni ḓivhe zwauri zwine a funa ndi zwifhio na uri ni vhone Muḓinḓa wawe muvhuya, ni mu pfe a tshi amba nga mulomo wawe. 15Ni ḓo vha ṱhanzi yawe ine ya ḓo vhudza vhathu vhoṱhe zwe na zwi vhona na zwe na zwi pfa. 16Zwino ni kha ḓi lengelani? Takuwani ni lovhedzwe, ni ṱanzwiwe vhutshinyi haṋu ni tshi khou mu rabela!’
Paulo a tshi ruṅwa kha vhannḓa
17-18“Zwino ndó no vhuelela Jerusalema, ndi tshi khou rabela thembeleni nda pfa ndi Muyani, nda vhona Yesu henefho, a tshi khou amba na Nṋe a tshi ri, ‘Ṱavhanya u ṱuwe hafhano Jerusalema ngauri vhathu a vha nga ṱanganedzi zwine wa ḓo ṱanzilela nga Nṋe.’ 19Nṋe nda fhindula nda ri, ‘Muṋe wanga, hufha vhathu vha tshi zwi ḓivha zwavhuḓivhuḓi uri nṋe ndo vha ndi tshi ya sinagogoni nda fara vhane vha u fulufhela nda vha rwa! 20Na zwiḽa malofha a ṱhanzi yau Stefane a tshi shululwa nṋe ndo vha ndi hone, ndi tshi zwi takalela!

Paulo na mulangammbi wa Muroma
22Paulo a amba u swika henefho vhathu vho ḓi thetshelesa. Huno vha tshi pfa a tshi ralo vha thoma u zhamba vha tshi ri, “A ri tsha funa na u mu vhona, kha a vhulawe! Tshithu tsho raliho ndi khwiṋe tshi tshi fa!” 23Vha zhamba vha tshi gidima vha tshi bvula zwiambaro zwavho, vha tshi phusula na mabuse, 24mulangammbi wa Muroma a vhudza vhathu vhawe uri vha dzhenise Paulo gammbani ya maswole, vha mu rwe nga nnzi uri a vha vhudze uri ndi mini Majuda vha tshi khou mu ṱavhela mukosi. 25Musi vha tshi khou mu vhamba uri a rwiwe, Paulo a amba na mulangagomane o imaho henefho a ri, “Nṋa mulayo no u wanafhi wa u rwa mudzulapo wa Roma a songo vhuya a thoma u sengiswa ha wanala mulandu wawe?”
26Mulangagomane a tshi pfa a tshi ralo, a ya kha mulangammbi a ri, “Nṋa vha ṱoḓa u ri vhonisani vhone? Munna hoyu ndi mudzulapo wa Roma!”
27Ndi hone mulangammbi a tshi ya kha Paulo a ri, “Inwi, dzonu mmbudza! Atsina inwi ni mudzulapo wa Roma?”
Paulo a fhindula a ri, “Ndi zwone!” 28Mulangammbi a ri, “Nṋe uri ndi vhe mudzulapo wa Roma ndo tou thoma nda bvisa tshelede i si na vhukono.” Paulo a ri, “Nṋe-ha ndo tou bebwa ndo ralo.”
29Zwenezwo vhaḽa vhanna vhe vha vha vha tshi ṱoḓa u sengulusa Paulo vha mbo ḓi zwi litsha; na uḽa mulangammbi a tshi pfa uri uyo munna we a mu vhofha ndi mudzulapo wa Roma, a thoma u dzhenwa nga nyofho.
Paulo a tshi sengiswa nga Khoro ya Majuda
