Paul finishes telling what had happened to him in Damascus. He quotes what Ananias said to him. This is still part of his speech to the crowd in Jerusalem.

# his will
"what God is planning and will cause to happen"
# to hear the voice coming from his own mouth
Both "voice" and "mouth" refer to the one speaking. AT: "to hear him speak directly to you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
# to all men
Here "men" means all people whether male or female. AT: "to all people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations]])
# Now
Here "now" does not mean "at this moment," but is used to draw attention to the important point that follows.
# why are you waiting?
This question was asked to exhort Paul to be baptized. AT: "Do not wait!" or "Do not delay!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# be baptized
This can be stated in active form. AT: "let me baptize you" or "receive baptism" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
