1 “Aboluganda nʼabaatu abahulu mu gwanga, muŋulirise ohweŋosyaho hwange hu songa eyi bafunaana.”

2 Ni baŋulira Pawulo nʼaloma eyi bali mu lulimi olu Aramayiki nga baŋoolera baati ce. Ngʼaŋo Pawulo atiina mu moni aloma ati,

3 “Ese ndi Muyudaaya omusaale womu hibuga Taruso mu twale lyʼe Kilikiya aye nahulira ŋano mu Yerusaalemu. Gamalyeri omusomesa haŋunye mu hwegeresa amagambi geefe njʼowasomesa nakuguhira erala era najumbiranga bugali ohuŋeeresa Hatonda mu byʼediini lyefe ngʼolu abandi hunywe muhola. 4 Nahiyaanianga abaatu abaali ni bagendera mu Ngira ya Musengwa eyʼobunoŋosi noola nʼohuleetera abandi hu bo ohufa. Nabaŋambanga aŋabula hubihisya, abasinde nʼabahasi ni mbadanya mu komera olwʼohufugiirira hwawe.

5 “Omuhulu wʼabasengi nʼAboluhiiho Olubbala mu gwanga lyʼefe basobola ohunjijulira mu hino. Era abahulu abo baapa nʼebbaluŋa ejinyanjula eyiri abahyawe mu Damasiko tiine pambe abafugiirira Yesu abeeyo mbaleete e Yerusaalemu ngʼabasibe bababonerese.”

6 “Ni naali ni tiina e Damasiko, esaawa jaali oti mukaaga ejomu muusi ni natere ohwola, ngʼaŋo ni naaŋo enjase eyʼamaani ohuŋwa mwigulu yikubba yineswanigirisa. 7 Ni yakubba nga ngwa ŋaasi pulira ejanjaasi ni ŋaliŋo owundoma ati, ‘Sawulo, Sawulo! Lwahiina bukiyaania?’ 8 Nga mbuusa omwene janjaasi eryo ti, ‘Ndiiwe ani Musengwa?’

“Nga gangobolamo ati, ‘Ndiise Yesu Omunazaleesi oyu ohiyaania. 9 Abahyange aba naali ni nabo boosi babona enjase eyo era baŋulira nʼejanjaasi aye sibategeera ebi omuutu oyo gandoma.’ 10 Ngʼaŋo ese mubuusa ti, ‘Musengwa, kole hi?’ Nga niye gandoma ati, ‘Yinyoha otiine mu hibuga Damasiko. Eyo peyi banahahulomere ehyohuhola.’ 11 Olwohuba naali sikiibona nʼohubona olwʼehimyaso ehyo ehyʼamaani, abahyange aba naali ni nabo bapamba hu muhono baapira e Damasiko.

12 “Ŋaahani mu hibuga Damasiko mwalimo omusinde oyu balanganga baati Ananiya. Ananiya gaali musinde omuhenerefu owajumiryanga Hatonda era nʼagendera mu magambi aga baŋambya Musa nʼAbayudaaya bosibosi abamenyanga eyo ni bamuŋa eŋono. 13 Omusinde oyo nga gaaja geemeerera aŋa naali gandoma ati, ‘Mulebe Sawulo, yiguha emoni otagihe ohubona nindi. Hu nyanga enyene eyo emoni jange nga jirimbula tandiiha ohubona.’

14 “Ngʼaŋo omusinde oyo atiina mu moni gandoma ati, ‘Hatonda owʼabasehulu beefe ahutobooye obe ti omanya ehi genda ohole, obone Omwawufu wuwe, era oŋulire ebibono ebiŋwa mu munwa gugwe. 15 Olwʼehyo oja huba mujulizi wuwe olomere abaatu bosibosi ebi oŋuliiye nʼebi oweene. 16 Era ŋaahani ŋwa mu byʼohugayala. Yinyoheramo weŋunderere Hatonda gahahusoniŋa ebibi bibyo era ohene obatiziwe bahwogeho ebibi bibyo.’

17 “Ebyo ni byaŋwa nga ngobola ŋano mu Yerusaalemu. Lulala ni naali mu Yekaalu ni saba nga nolesebwa. 18 Mu hwolesebwa ohwo Musengwa gandoma ati, ‘Yinyoheramo oŋwe mu Yerusaalemu, olwohuba abaatu baamo sibaja hufugiirira nʼobalomera ebipambaho.’ 19 Ngʼese mugobolamo ti, ‘Musengwa, bamanyire baati natiinanga mu mahumbaaniro gʼAbayudaaya ni pamba abahufugiirira ni mbafaduula efaalu ni kena ni mbandanya nomu komera. 20 Era ni baali ni beeta Sitefaano omuloobera wuwo, keesi naaliŋo nawagira ehikolwa hyʼohumwita era nahuuma nʼengoye jaawe ko bala bamuhubbe bulaŋi amabaale.’ 21 Ngʼaŋo Musengwa gandoma ati, ‘Ŋwa mu Yerusaalemu, olwohuba nja huhutuma eyo aŋaleeŋi mu baatu Abatali Bayudaaya.’ ”

22 Abaatu baŋulirisa ebi Pawulo gaali nʼaloma ohwola olu galoma ebibono ebyo. Ngʼaŋo batandiha ohuhayanira ŋamugulu ni baloma baati, “Mumwite, olwohuba omuutu hyʼoyo sasaana huba hu hyalo!”

23 Ni baali ni bahihayaana ni baholoŋa engoye jaawe eji bewihiriranga, ni booŋa nʼefuuhe mu bbanga ohulaga ehiruŋi ehi baali ni nahyo, 24 ngʼomudumisi omuhulu alagira bengisa Pawulo mu kambi. Ni bamwingisa ngʼalagira bamufaduule efaalu era amubuuse abalomere ehyali ni higema Abayudaaya ni bamuhubbira oluboyobooyo batyo.

25 Ni baali ko ni bamulambaasa, nga Pawulo abuusa omudumisi wʼehibbubbu hyʼabasirikale ecikumi owaali ni gemereeye aŋaapi aŋo ati, “Bahifugiirira ohuhubba Omurooma efaalu ni bahiiri humusalira musango ohumuhira?”

26 Omudumisi oyo ni gaŋulira ati Pawulo Murooma ngʼatiina eyiri omudumisi omuhulu amuloma ati, “Omusinde ono Murooma, humuhole hutye?”

27 Omudumisi omuhulu ni gaŋulira ebyo ngʼatiina eyiri Pawulo amubuusa ati, “Hanye ndomereho. Mbo oli Murooma?” Nga Pawulo amugobolamo ati, “E-e ndi Murooma.” 28 Ngʼomudumisi omuhulu oyo amuloma ati, “Keesi ndi Murooma aye nasasula bbeesa enyene enyingi ohufuuha Omurooma.” Nga Pawulo niye amuloma ati, “Ese nasaaliwa ngʼOmurooma.”

29 Ŋaweene aŋo ehyo nga hireetera abaali ni bamwenuguna ohubuusa ebibuuso ohunyololohaŋo. Ngʼomudumisi omuhulu omwene asigalaŋo nʼalebera ekoba olwʼohuŋamba era gadanya hu Pawulo Omurooma wahye ebijofu.

30 Olwohuba omudumisi wamaŋe gendire ohumanya ehihulu ehyene ehi Abayudaaya baali ni bahaabya Pawulo, ni wahya gamulehula aye ngʼalagira abatangirisi bʼabasengi ba Hatonda nʼAboluhiiho lwʼAbayudaaya olubbala bosibosi ohuhumbaana. Ni bahumbaana ngʼaŋira Pawulo amwemeha mu moni jaawe.
