1. Ngalo lonke eli thuba uSawule yena wayefutha izisongelo zokwenzakalisa abalandeli beNkosi. Waya kumbingeleli omkhulu, wacela ukuba amnike iincwadi zeziqinisekiso,
2. ukuze aye *ezindlwini zesikhungo zamaJuda eDamasko, abe nako ukuthi xa ebafumana abalandeli bale Ndlela yeNkosi, abakhonkxe, amadoda kunye nabafazi, eze nabo eJerusalem.
3. Endleleni yakhe eya eDamasko, xa asondelayo apho edolophini, ngequbuliso wabona ukukhanya esibhakabhakeni, okwasuka kwambanekela ngeenxa zonke.
4. Watsho wawa phantsi, waza weva ilizwi limbiza lisithi kuye: “Sawule, Sawule, unditshutshiselani na?”
5. Yena wabuza wathi: “Wena ungubani, Nkosi?”Ilizwi elo laphendula lathi: “Mna ndinguYesu, lowo umtshutshisayo wena.
6. Phakama, uhambe ungene apha edolophini; uya kuyixelelwa khona into omawuyenze.”
7. Ngeli xesha amadoda awayehamba noSawule ayemile, ethe cwaka, eliva lona ilizwi elo lalithetha, kodwa engaboni mntu.
8. USawule waphakama, wakhangela ngamehlo, kodwa akabi nako ukubona nento le. Ngoko ke abo babehamba naye bamrhola ngesandla, bangena naye eDamasko.
