Balunabba ne Sawulo batumibwa

13 (A)Mu Kkanisa y’omu Antiyokiya mwalimu bannabbi n’abayigiriza bano: Balunabba, ne Simooni, eyayitibwanga, “Omuddugavu” ne Lukiyo ow’e Kuleene, ne Manaeni, eyakulira awamu ne kabaka Kerode, ne Sawulo. (B)Awo bwe baali nga basinza Mukama era nga bwe basiiba, Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’agamba nti, “Munjawulire Balunabba ne Sawulo olw’omulimu gwe mbayitidde.” (C)Awo bwe baamala okusaba n’okusiiba, ne bassa emikono gyabwe ku Balunabba ne Sawulo, ne babasiibula ne bagenda.

(D)Awo Balunabba ne Sawulo ne batumibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu okugenda e Serukiya, gye baava ne bawunguka okulaga e Kupulo. (E)Bwe baatuuka mu Salamisi ne bayingira mu makuŋŋaaniro g’Abayudaaya ne babuulira ekigambo kya Katonda. Yokaana Makko yali nabo okubaweereza.

(F)Ne bagenda nga babuulira ku kizinga kyonna okutuuka e Pafo. Eyo ne basangayo omufumu Omuyudaaya eyali nnabbi ow’obulimba, erinnya lye Balisa. (G)Yayitanga ne Serugiyo Pawulo, gavana Omuruumi ow’oku kizinga ekyo. Gavana ono yali musajja w’amagezi, n’atumya Balunabba ne Sawulo ng’ayagala okuwulira ekigambo kya Katonda. (H)Naye Eruma omufumu (kubanga ago ge makulu g’erinnya lye mu Luyonaani), n’abeekiikamu, n’agezaako okusendasenda gavana aleme okuwuliriza ebigambo eby’okukkiriza. (I)Naye Sawulo, era ng’ayitibwa Pawulo, n’ajjuzibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’atunuulira Eruma enkaliriza, 10 (J)n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe, omusajja ajudde obulimba bwonna n’obukuusa bwonna, omwana wa Setaani, era omulabe w’obutuukirivu bwonna olikomya ddi okukyusakyusa amakubo ga Katonda amatereevu? 11 (K)Kaakano omukono gwa Mukama gukwolekedde, ojja kuziba amaaso, omale ebbanga nga tolaba musana.”

Amangwago olufu n’ekizikiza ne bimusaanikira, n’atandika okuwammanta ng’anoonya anaamukwata ku mukono. 12 (L)Awo gavana bwe yalaba ebibaddewo, n’akkiriza, era n’awuniikirira nnyo olw’okuyigiriza kw’ekigambo kya Mukama.

Balunabba ne Pawulo mu Antiyokiya eky’e Pisidiya

13 (M)Awo Pawulo ne be yali nabo ne basaabala ku nnyanja okuva e Pafo ne bagoba e Peruga eky’e Panfuliya. Naye Yokaana Makko n’abalekayo n’addayo e Yerusaalemi. 14 (N)Kyokka Balunabba ne Pawulo ne beeyongerayo mu lugendo lwabwe ne batuuka mu kibuga Antiyokiya ekiri mu Pisidiya. Awo ku lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti ne bagenda ne batuula mu kkuŋŋaaniro. 15 (O)Ebitundu ebyaggyibwa mu Mateeka ne mu Bannabbi bwe byaggwa okusomebwa, abakulembeze b’ekuŋŋaaniro ne batumira Balunabba ne Pawulo we baali batudde nga bagamba nti, “Abasajja abooluganda, obanga ku mmwe waliwo alina ekigambo ekizimba abantu akyogere.”

16 (P)Awo Pawulo n’ayimuka, n’abawenya n’ayogera nti, “Abasajja Abayisirayiri, nammwe abatya Katonda, muwulirize! 17 (Q)Katonda w’eggwanga lino Isirayiri yalonda bajjajjaffe n’abafuula eggwanga ekkulu bwe baali abagenyi mu nsi y’e Misiri n’oluvannyuma n’abaggyayo n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi, 18 (R)n’abagumiikiriza okumala emyaka amakumi ana nga bali mu ddungu. 19 (S)N’azikiriza amawanga musanvu agaabeeranga mu nsi ya Kanani, era ensi eyo n’agiwa Abayisirayiri okubeera omugabo gwabwe, 20 (T)okumala emyaka ng’ebikumi bina mu ataano.

“Oluvannyuma n’abalondera abalamuzi okubafuganga okutuusa mu biro bya nnabbi Samwiri. 21 (U)Awo abantu ne basaba bafugibwe kabaka. Katonda n’abawa Sawulo mutabani wa Kiisi, ow’omu kika kya Benyamini, n’afugira emyaka amakumi ana. 22 (V)Naye Katonda n’amuggya ku bwakabaka, n’abuwa Dawudi, oyo Katonda gwe yayogerako obulungi nti, ‘Nnonze Dawudi, mutabani wa Yese, omusajja omutima gwange gwe gwagala ajja okukola bye njagala.’

23 (W)“Mu zzadde lye, Katonda mwe yalonda Omulokozi, ye Yesu, nga bwe yasuubiza Isirayiri. 24 Naye nga tannajja, Yokaana yabuulira abantu bonna mu Isirayiri okubatizibwa okw’okwenenya. 25 Era Yokaana bwe yali ng’ali kumpi okufundikira omulimu gwe, yagamba nti, ‘Mundowooza kuba ani? Nze siri ye. Laba Ye ajja oluvannyuma lwange, n’okusaanira sisaanira na kusumulula ngatto ze.’

26 (X)“Abasajja abooluganda mmwe bazzukulu ba Ibulayimu, nammwe abatya Katonda, obubaka buno obw’obulokozi, bwaffe ffenna wamu. 27 (Y)Ababeera mu Yerusaalemi n’abakulembeze baabwe ne batamumanya oyo newaakubadde ebigambo bya bannabbi, ebyasomebwanga buli Ssabbiiti. Baamusalira omusango, ne batuukiriza ebigambo bino. 28 (Z)Tebaalina nsonga emussa, naye era ne basaba Piraato amutte. 29 (AA)Bwe baamala okutuukiriza byonna ebyamuwandiikwako, n’awanulwayo ku musaalaba n’agalamizibwa mu ntaana. 30 (AB)Naye Katonda n’amuzuukiza mu bafu. 31 (AC)Era abo be yajja nabo e Yerusaalemi ng’ava e Ggaliraaya n’abalabikiranga okumala ennaku nnyingi. Era be bajulirwa be eri abantu.

32 “Ne kaakano tubategeeza nti, Katonda kye yasuubiza bajjajjaffe 33 yakituukiriza mu ffe ne mu baana baffe, bwe yazuukiza Yesu mu bafu. Nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu Zabbuli eyookubiri nti,

“ ‘Mwana wange,
    leero nfuuse Kitaawo.’

34 (AD)Kubanga Katonda yasuubiza okumuzuukiza abeere mulamu nate, era nga takyaddayo kuvunda. Ekyawandiikibwa nga bwe kyogera nti:

“ ‘Ndikuwa emikisa egy’olubeerera era emitukuvu gye nasuubiza Dawudi.’

35 (AE)Ne mu kyawandiikibwa ekirala agamba nti,

“ ‘Toliganya Mutukuvu wo kuvunda.’

36 (AF)“Kino kyali tekyogera ku Dawudi, kubanga Dawudi bwe yamala okuweereza omulembe gwe nga Katonda bwe yayagala, n’afa, n’aziikibwa, era omubiri gwe ne guvunda. 37 Noolwekyo, oyo Katonda gwe yazuukiza teyavunda.

38 (AG)“Abooluganda, mumpulirize! Mu muntu ono Yesu okusonyiyibwa ebibi mwe kubuuliddwa. Kino nga tekiyinzika mu mateeka ga Musa. 39 (AH)Buli amukkiriza n’amwesiga aggyibwako omusango gw’ekibi, n’aweebwa obutuukirivu. 40 Mwegendereze, ebigambo bya bannabbi bireme kutuukirira ku mmwe, bwe baagamba nti:

41 (AI)“ ‘Mulabe, mmwe abanyoomi,
    musamaalirire era muzikirire!
Kubanga nnina omulimu gwe nkola mu kiseera,
    gwe mutagenda kukkiriza newaakubadde omuntu
    ne bw’aligubannyonnyola atya temuligukkiriza.’ ”

42 (AJ)Awo Pawulo ne Balunabba bwe baali bafuluma mu kkuŋŋaaniro, abantu ne babasaba bakomewo ku Ssabbiiti eddirira bongere okubabuulira ku bigambo ebyo. 43 (AK)Abayudaaya bangi awamu n’abatya Katonda abaaliwo mu kusinza okwo mu kkuŋŋaaniro, ne babagoberera. Pawulo ne Balunabba ne banyumya nabo nga bwe batambula mu kkubo, nga babasendasenda banywerere mu kukkiriza ne mu kisa kya Katonda.

44 Ku Ssabbiiti eyaddirira kumpi buli muntu eyali mu kibuga n’ajja okuwulira ekigambo kya Katonda. 45 (AL)Naye Abayudaaya bwe baalaba ebibiina ebinene nga bizze, ne bakwatibwa obuggya, ne batandika okuwakanya n’okujolonga byonna Pawulo bye yayogeranga. 46 (AM)Awo Pawulo ne Balunabba ne babaanukula n’obuvumu bungi ne babagamba nti, “Kyali kituufu Ekigambo kya Katonda kino okusooka okubuulirwa mmwe Abayudaaya. Naye nga bwe mukigaanyi, ne mweraga nti obulamu obutaggwaawo temubusaanira; kale kaakano ka tukibuulire Abaamawanga. 47 (AN)Kubanga bw’atyo Mukama bwe yatulagira bwe yagamba nti,

“ ‘Mbafudde omusana okwakira Abaamawanga,
    olw’obulokozi okutuuka ku nkomerero y’ensi.’ ”

48 Abaamawanga bwe baawulira ebyo ne bajjula essanyu; era bangi ne bakkiriza, abo Katonda be yalonda okuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo.

49 Awo ekigambo kya Katonda ne kibuna mu kitundu ekyo kyonna. 50 (AO)Naye Abayudaaya ne bafukuutirira abakazi abaasinzanga Katonda ab’ebitiibwa, n’abakulembeze mu kibuga, ne batandika akeegugungo mu kibiina ky’abantu nga koolekedde Pawulo ne Balunabba, okutuusa lwe baabagoba mu kitundu kyabwe. 51 (AP)Abatume ne babakunkumulira enfuufu ey’omu bigere byabwe, ne babaviira ne balaga mu Ikoniya. 52 Abayigirizwa ne bajjula essanyu ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu.

13 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:

Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.

10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 But God raised him from the dead:

31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
