12 “Ndele omo mwa li Ananias, omulumenhu omuyuki konghedi yomhango, a fimanekwa kOvajuda aveshe. 13 Ye okwe uya kwaame, a ehena pwaame, ndele ta ti: ‘Saul, omumwatate, pashuka!’ Opo tuu opo ame nda ninga omunamesho, nonde mu tala. 14 Ndele ye okwa tya: ‘Kalunga kootate e ku hoolola nale u shiive ehalo laye, ove u mone Omuyuki, ndele u ude ondaka yomokanya kaye. 15 Osheshi ove u nokuninga ondobwedi koshipala shovanhu aveshe, yaai we i mona naai we i uda. 16 Ndele paife, oto teelele vali shike? Fikama ashike, u ka shashwe, ove u koshwe omatimba oye, nokwiifana edina lOmwene.’
17 “Ndele eshi nda aluka ko, onde uya kuJerusalem, nonda ilikanena motembeli, onda fya ombabanghukuta, 18 ndele nde mu mona. Ye okwa lombwela nge: ‘Endelela u dje mo muJerusalem paife, osheshi itava tambula ehepaululo loye lokuhepaulula nge.’ 19 Ndele ame onda tya: ‘Omwene, voovene ove shi shii, ame nhumbi nda kwata ovaitaveli voye, ndele nde va dengifa meeshinagoga, 20 ndele ohonde yaStefanus, ondobwedi yoye, eshi ya tilwashi, naame yo oko nda li nonda li nde shi itavela, nonda kelela oikutu yovadipai vaye.’ 21 Ndele Ye okwa lombwela nge: ‘Inda ko, ohandi ku tumu kokule kovapaani.’ ”
22 Fiyo okondjovo ei ove mu pwilikina, ndele va ingida pombada, ndele tava ti: “Ou a tya ngaha na dje ko kombada yedu, osheshi inashi wapala a kale e nomwenyo.” 23 Ndele eshi va li tava ingida, tava ekeleshi oikutu yavo, ndele tava fundaula edu pombada, 24 omuneyovi okwe va lombwela ve mu twale meni longulu, opo a shiive osho she va ingidifa, okwe va lombwela a pulwe mokudengwa neeshokoto.
Oukwaroma waPaulus tau mu popile
25 Ndele vo eshi ve mu nangeka, ve mu dengife eeshokoto, Paulus okwa tya komunefele ou a li ofika opo: “Otamu dulu tuu okudenga Omuroma fimbo ina tokolwa?” 26 Omunefele eshi e shi uda okwa ya, ndele e ke shi lombwela omuneyovi, ndele ta ti: “Owa hala okuninga shike, omulumenhu ou Omuroma?” 27 Ndele omuneyovi okwa ya kuPaulus, ndele ta pula kuye: “Lombwele nge, oove ngeenge Oumuroma?” Ye okwa nyamukula: “Heeno.” 28 Opo nee omuneyovi ta ti: “Oukwashilongo ou onde u lilikolela noimaliwa ihapu.” Paulus ta ti: “Ame omudalwa Omuromelela.” 29 Opo tuu opo, venya va li va hala, ve mu denge, ove mu efa diva. Omuneyovi yo eshi a uda kutya Paulus Omuroma, a tila, eshi e mu mangifa.
30 Ndele mefiku la shikula, shaashi a hala okushiiva nawa omolwashike Ovajuda ve mu hokololifa, okwe mu mangululifa ndele a lombwela ovapristeli ovakulunhu noshiongalele ashishe shovakulunhu shi ongale, ndele a twala mo Paulus ndele te mu tula moipafi yavo.
