¹⁰ “Koma tsopano, Inu Mulungu wathu, kodi tinganene chiyani titachita zoyipa zonsezi? Ife taphwanya malamulo anu ¹¹ amene munawapereka kudzera mwa atumiki anu aneneri. Inu munati, ‘Dziko limene mukulowamolo kuti likhale cholowa chanu, ndi dziko lodetsedwa ndi zonyansa za mitundu ya mʼmayikomo.

Musagwirizane nawo, kapena kuchita nawo malonda kuti mukhale amphamvu ndi kudya zokoma za mʼdzikomo ndi kusiyira ana anu dzikoli ngati cholowa chawo mpaka kalekale.’

¹³ “Tsono pambuyo pa zonse zimene zatigwera chifukwa cha ntchito zathu zoyipa ndi uchimo wathu waukulu, komanso pambuyo poona kuti Inu Mulungu wathu simunangotilanga kokha pangʼono kuyerekeza ndi kuchimwa kwathu komanso mwalola kuti ena mwa ife tipulumuke, ¹⁴ kodi ife nʼkuphwanyanso malamulo anu ndi kukwatirana ndi anthu amitundu ina amene amachita zonyansa zimenezi? Kodi simudzatikwiyira ndi kutiwononga kwathunthu popanda wina wotsala kapena wopulumuka? ¹⁵ Inu Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli, ndinu wachifundo, pakuti ndife otsala amene tapulumuka monga mmene zilili lero lino. Ife tayima pamaso panu ngakhale tikudziwa kuchimwa kwathu pakuti palibe munthu amene angathe kuyima pamaso panu chifukwa cha machimo ake.”

¹⁷ Pamenepo Hananiya ananyamuka ndi kukalowa mʼnyumbayo. Anamusanjika manja Sauloyo ndipo anati, “Mʼbale Saulo, Ambuye Yesu, amene anakuonekera pa msewu pamene umabwera kuno wandituma kuti uwonenso ndi kudzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera.” ¹⁸ Nthawi yomweyo mʼmaso mwa Saulo munachoka zinthu zokhala ngati mamba ansomba, ndipo anayambanso kuona.

Kodi siwabwera kuno kuti awamange ndi kuwapereka kwa akulu a ansembe?” ²² Koma mphamvu za Saulo zinali kukulirakulira ndipo anathetsa nzeru Ayuda okhala ku Damasiko powatsimikizira kuti Yesu ndi Mpulumutsi.

²³ Patapita masiku ambiri, Ayuda anapangana zoti aphe Saulo, ²⁴ koma iye anadziwa za chiwembucho. Anthu ankadikirira usana ndi usiku pa zipata za mzindawo kuti amuphe. ²⁵ Koma ophunzira ake anamutenga usiku, namutsitsira kunja kwa mpandawo mʼdengu.
