Exegesis
The direct object phōnēn {φωνὴν | phōnḗn} ‘a voice’ is modified by the present participle legousan {λέγουσαν | légousan} ‘speaking’, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the speech.
In context — Acts 26:14
And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me ? It is hard for you to kick against the goads .’
