2 amusaba inzandiko zo gushyikiriza abakuru b’insengero z’Abayahudi z’i Damasi, kugira ngo nabonayo abayobotse inzira ya Yezu, baba abagabo cyangwa abagore, bose abafate abazane i Yeruzalemu.
3 Ari mu nzira agenda agiye kugera i Damasi, agiye kubona abona agoswe n’umucyo uvuye mu ijuru.
4 Yitura hasi, yumva ijwi ry’umuhamagara ati: “Sawuli! Sawuli! Untotereza iki?”
5 Arabaza ati: “Uri nde Nyagasani?”
Yumva usubiza ati: “Ndi Yezu uwo utoteza.
6 Ariko haguruka ujye mu mujyi, uzahabwirirwa icyo ugomba gukora.”
7 Abagabo bagendanaga na Sawuli bari bahagaze badakoma. Bumvaga ijwi ariko ntibabone uvuga.
8 Sawuli arabaduka, maze abumbuye amaso ntiyabona. Nuko baramurandata bamujyana i Damasi.
9 Amarayo gatatu atareba, atarya kandi atanywa.
10 I Damasi rero hakaba umwigishwa wa Kristo witwaga Ananiya. Nyagasani aramubonekera aramuhamagara ati: “Ananiya!”
Undi arasubiza ati: “Karame Nyagasani.”
11 Nyagasani aramubwira ati: “Haguruka ujye ku muhanda witwa Ugororotse, ugere kwa Yuda ubazeyo umuntu witwa Sawuli ukomoka i Tarisi. Ubu arasenga.
12 Amaze kubonekerwa abona umuntu witwa Ananiya yinjira, akamurambikaho ibiganza kugira ngo ahumuke.”
13 Ananiya arasubiza ati: “Nyagasani, numvise benshi bavuga iby’uwo mugabo, ukuntu yagiriye nabi intore zawe z’i Yeruzalemu.
14 None dore yaje ino ahawe uburenganzira n’abakuru bo mu batambyi, kugira ngo afate abantu bose basenga mu izina ryawe.”
15 Ariko Nyagasani abwira Ananiya ati: “Genda kuko uwo muntu ari igikoresho nitoranyirije kugira ngo amenyekanishe mu mahanga, no mu bami bayo no mu rubyaro rwa Isiraheli.
16 Nanjye nzamwereka uburyo bwose azagomba kubabazwa ari jye ahorwa.”
17 Nuko Ananiya aragenda. Ageze mu nzu arambika ibiganza kuri Sawuli, aramubwira ati: “Muvandimwe Sawuli, Nyagasani wakubonekeye uri mu nzira uza ino, akuntumyeho kugira ngo uhumuke kandi wuzuzwe Mwuka Muziranenge.”
18 Muri ako kanya utuntu dusa n’udushishwa dutunguka ku maso ye, tugwa hasi maze abona yongeye kureba. Arahaguruka arabatizwa.
19 Amaze kurya, abona intege.

Uwo mwanya arahaguruka.
35 Abaturage bose b’i Lida n’abo mu kibaya cya Sharoni babibonye, bayoboka Nyagasani.
Tabita azuka
36 I Yope hari umwigishwakazi wa Kristo witwaga Tabita (mu kigereki ni Doruka, risobanurwa ngo “ingeragere”). Uwo mugore yahoraga agira neza kandi agafasha abakene.
37 Muri iyo minsi aza gufatwa n’indwara maze arapfa. Bamaze kūhagira umurambo, bawuryamisha mu cyumba cyo mu nzu yo hejuru.
38 Abigishwa ba Kristo b’i Yope bumvise yuko Petero ari i Lida bugufi bw’i Yope, bamutumaho abagabo babiri baramwinginga bati: “Nyamuneka, ntutindiganye kuza iwacu!”
39 Nuko Petero arahaguruka ajyana na bo. Ahageze bamujyana muri cya cyumba cyo hejuru. Abapfakazi bose bari bamukikije barira, bamwereka amakanzu n’amakote Doruka yabadodeye akiriho.
40 Nuko Petero arabaheza bose maze arapfukama arasenga. Ni ko kugana ku murambo aravuga ati: “Tabita, haguruka!”
