6“Agho bwe nali ntambula nga ndi kumpi okutuuka e Damasiko ku saawa nga mukaaga edh’omusana, okumyansa okw’amaani kwava mu igulu kwamulisa okuneezungulula. 7Naagwa ghansi era naawulira eiroboozi erinkoba liti, ‘Saulo, Saulo, lwaki onkiriga.’ 8Nairamu nti, ‘Niiwe ani Musengwa.’ Yankoba ati, ‘Ninze Yesu ow’e Nazarethi y’okiriga.’ 9Abantu abaali ninze baabona okumyansa okw’amaani aye baaloba kuwulira iroboozi ly’oyo eyayogera ninze. 10Naakoba nti, ‘Nkole ntya Musengwa?’ Era Musengwa yaakoba ati, ‘Situka oje e Damasiko era eyo oidha kukoberwa byonabyona by’onaalagirwa okukola.’ 11Naalekera okubona olw’okumyansa okwo okw’amaani, abaali ninze bangema ku mukono bantuusa mu Damasiko.
12“Agho mu Damasiko mwalimu omusaadha ng’ayetebwa Anania, atya Katonda mu kugema Amateeka, era ng’Abayudaaya baayo boonaboona bamwisaamu ekitiisa. 13Yaidha, yaayemerera ghe ndi, yankoba ati: ‘Owoluganda Saulo, iramu okubona.’ Mangu ago nairamu okubona, naamubona, 14yaakoba ati: ‘Katonda wa badhaadha baife akulonze omanhe ky’ayenda, obone Omutukuvu we era owulire eiroboozi lye. 15Kuba oidha kuba mudhulizi we y’abantu boonaboona ow’ebyo by’oboine ni by’owuliire. 16Kale mperaano olinda ki? Situka obatizibwe onaazibweku ebibi byo ng’osinza Katonda.’

22Abantu baamuwulirisa okutuusa bwe yayogera ekibono ekyo. Agho bainhama okwasiikana nga bakoba bati: “Mumutoolegho, kuba omuntu ng’oti n’oyo tagwaine kuba mulamu.” 23Baayasiikana, nga bwe basuula n’ebivaalo byaibwe ghaigulu era nga bwe bafuumuula enkungu mu ibbanga. 24Omukulu w’abaisirukale yaalagira batwale Paulo mu nkambi era bamukubise enkoba, bazuule kye bamulanga nga baasiikana batyo. 25Aye bwe baamala okumusiba n’enkoba, Paulo yaabuuza omukulu w’ekikunsu ky’abaisirukale eyali ayemereire agho ati: “Mwikirizibwa okukuba omuntu Omuroma ng’akaali kusalirwa musango kumusinga?”
26Omukulu w’ekikunsu eky’abaisirukale olwawulira ekyo, yaaja y’omukulu ow’abaisirukale yaamukoba ati: “Oja kukola ki? Omusaadha ono Muroma!”
27Agho omukulu ow’abaisirukale yaaja ye Paulo yaamubuuza ati: “Nkobera, oli Muroma?” Paulo yairamu ati: “Yii.” 28Omukulu ow’abaisirukale yairamu ati: “Nze okufuna Oburoma kyantwalaku ebintu kamaala.” Paulo yaamwiramu ati: “Aye nze nazaalibwa nga ndi Muroma.”
29Mangu ago abo abaali baja okumukuba baamuleka era n’omukulu ow’abaisirukale yaatya bwe yamanha nga Paulo ye yasiba Muroma.
