OTemuseewo yeeyunga oku Pawulo nʼoSiira
1 Awo oPawulo nʼabainaye ni batuuka omu kibuga kyʼe Derubbe, era ni beeyongerayo e Lisitula. Omu Lisitula mwabbairemu omusengereri wa Yesu eriinalye bati Temuseewo. Omaaye wa Temuseewo oyo yabbaire Namuyudaaya era omwikirirya wa Kurisito, neye oiteeye iye nga Muyonaani. 2 Aboluganda abʼomu Lisitula nʼomwIkoniya bonabona babbaire ngʼebibatumula oku oTemuseewo oyo bisa byereere. 3 Kale oPawulo nʼakoba oTemuseewo ati ayabe naye omu lugendolwe. Nʼolwekyo, engeri oTemuseewo egiyabbaire timukomole, oPawulo nʼamukomola demba aBayudaaya abʼomu kitundu ekyo ni bagaana okubawuliriramu olwʼokubba bonabona babbaire bakimaite ngʼoiteeye wa Temuseewo oweyabbaire Muyonaani. 4 Baabanga babitabita omu bibuga, nga webakalaatira abaikirirya okukwata ebyo abatume nʼabakaire bʼekanisa yʼomu Yerusaalemi ebibabbaire basalirewo bati abaikirirya baabirengeku. 5 Nʼomu ngeri eyo, abʼomu makanisa ni bakalangukira omu kwikirirya, era ababeeyungangaku ni beeyongerangaku obungi nabuli olwacanga.
OPawulo asuna okwolesebwa
6 Awo oPawulo nʼabainaye, ngʼoMwoyo oMutukulye tabaganyire okulaabba ekibono kya Kibbumba omwitwale lyʼAsiya, ni babitabita omu kitundu ekitwaliryamu e Furigiya nʼe Galatiya okumalaku. 7 Owebatuuka oku nsalo wʼeisaza lyʼe Maisiya eriri oku nsalo lyʼeitwale lyʼe Bbisiiniya, ni bagezyaku bati baingire omu Bbisiiniya, neye oMwoyo wa Yesu nʼatabaganya okukingiramu. 8 Nʼolwekyo ni baira basalaagalirya mu Maisiya, ni baserengeta oku mwalo e Tulowaasi. 9 Omu kiire, oPawulo nʼasuna okwolesebwa. Oomwo oPawulo nʼabona omusaiza azwera e Makedooniya ngʼayemereire amwegairira ati, “Neso owoizaku e Makedooniya nʼotubbeera.” 10 OPawulo oweyasagamukire okuzwa omu kubona okwo nʼatukobera, titwasibiremu. Amangu ago ni twetegeka okwaba e Makedooniya olwʼokubba twabbaire tumalire okukitegeera tuti oKibbumba atulagiire twabe tulaabbe eeri abaayo aMawuliro aMasa.
OLidiya acuuka okwira eeri oMusengwa
11 Okuzwa e Tulowaasi, twakwaite lyato ni tuseyeeya buterembereri paka ku kizinga e Samosireesi ni tugona awo. Kaisi olunaku olwairireku ni tutuuka omu kibuga e Neyapooli. 12 Okuzwa awo, twabitiire kwitakali paka Firipi, ekibuga ekikulu omu kitundu kyʼe Makedooniya, era eitwale lyʼaBalooma. Awo ni tumalawo enaku egyeraku.
13 Oku Saabbaato, ni tuwulukaku omu kibuga, ni twaba oku mbale mbale kwʼomwiga egitwabbaire tusuubira okwaja ekifo abantu egibakumbaanira okusaba oKibbumba. Owetwatuukireyo, ni tutyama ni tutandiika okulonsyamu nʼabakali ababbaire bakumbaaniire awo okusinza. 14 Omoiza kwabo ababbaire batuwulisisya yabbaire niiye oLidiya, omusuubuuzi wʼengoye egyʼebbeeyi entukuliikiriri. Yabbaire azwera mu kibuga kyʼe Siyatira, era nga mukali asinza ino oKibbumba. OMusengwa nʼawooyawooya ebiseego bya mukali oyo, nʼagira nʼateekayo omwoyo eeri ebyo oPawulo ebiyatumwire. 15 Awo oluzwanyuma lwʼokumubatiza iye nʼabʼomu kisitokye, nʼatwekungirira tucaaleku e wuwe ati, “Abba nga zena atyanu muntwala ngʼomwikirirya wa Musengwa ogumwekakasa, mwize mucaaleku e wange.” Atyo nʼatwegairira paka owetwaikiriirye.
OPawulo nʼoSiraasi babadyaka omu mabbuusu
16 Awo olwatuukire, omulundi ogundi nga twaba omu kifo ekibasinziramu oKibbumba okusaba, ni tusangaana omwala omugalama eyabbaireku omuzimu ogwamulagulisyanga. Omwala oyo ngʼasunisya abasengwabe empiiya nyingi ino okuzwa mwabo abeyalagulangaku. 17 Oweyatuboine, nʼatandiika okutusengererya nga waceera ati, “Abantu banu abali okubamanyikisya engeri egimwezya okulokoka baweererya ba Kibbumba aKirira Nakimo.” 18 Omwala oyo ekyo ni yeeyongera ngʼakikola okumala enaku egyera. Ekyazwiremu oPawulo ni yeesinya, era nʼacuukira omwala oyo, nʼakoba omuzimu ogwamubbaireku ati, “Omu liina lya Yesu Kurisito nkulagira, omuzweku!” Ananyere awo omuzimu ogwo ni gumuzwaku.
19 Abasengwa bʼomwala oyo owebaboine ngʼomuzimu guzwire oku mwala oyo, ni bakitegeera bati osuubi wʼokusuna ebyobusuni okuzwa mwabo omwala oyo abeyalagulangaku awoirewo. Awo ni bakayuka, ni bakwata oPawulo nʼoSiira, ni babakinkinuca paka mu kisaawe kyʼomu kibuga ekyo abʼembuga egibatyamanga okuwozesya emisango. 20 Owebabatuuca, ni babeemererya omumaiso gʼabalamuzi, ni babawaabira bati, “Abantu abo Bayudaaya, neye bali kutabulatabula ekibuga kyaiswe. 21 Bali kwegesya empisa amateeka agaiswe aBalooma egigatatwikirirya okukwata ooba okwabiraku.”
22 Awo ekiziima kyʼabantu ababbaire bayoolookere okwiza egibali bona ni beeyunga kwabo ababbaire bakubba oPawulo nʼoSiira. Abalamuzi ni balagira abaisirikale batoolemu oPawulo nʼoSiira ebizwalo byabwe kaisi babakubbe emiigo. 23 Owebamalire okubafaamuula bundi ino, ni babadyaka omu mabbuusu, era ni balagira omukuumi wʼamabbuusu ababbeeku butiribiri. 24 Yena oweyawuliire ebiragiro ebyo, nʼabaingirirya nakimo mu kadukulu kadi akʼomunda nakimo, nʼebigere byabwe nʼabitibika omu gabaabo agazito agebayeesere ooti kijooko kaisi tibasodoka.
25 Obwire obwo ooti-so mu kiire aakati, oPawulo nʼoSiira babbaire mu kusaba nʼokwemba enyembo egiwuuja oKibbumba, abasibe abanaabwe abandi ibo nga webabawulisisya. 26 Omu kibbwatukira awo, ni wagwawo omusisi owʼamaani nakimo eyatengeeterye paka misingi gyʼamabbuusu. Nʼekyazwiremu enjigi gyʼamabbuusu gyonagyona ni gyeigula, nʼenjegere egibabbaire basibisirye abasibe ni gitibuka. 27 Omukuumi wʼamabbuusu okwaba okusisimuka, yaabire okubona ngʼenjigi gyʼamabbuusu nga njigule. Awo nʼasowolayo empiimaye ati yeite, olwo ngʼaseega ati abasibe basodokere. 28 Neye oPawulo nʼamwaminkirira ati, “Oleke tiweekola akabbikabbi! Swenaswena ngonu tulimu.”
29 Awo omukuumi wʼamabbuusu nʼatumisya eitaala, nʼayalamuka okwingira oPawulo nʼoSiira omu babbaire, nʼakoma amazwi abigere byabwe nga waadegeizera. 30 Awo nʼawuluca oPawulo nʼoSiira e nza, nʼababuulya ati, “Basebo, niki ekinteekwa okukola zena okulokoka?”
31 Ibo ni bamukoba bati, “Oikiririrye mu Musengwa oYesu, yakulokola, era nʼabʼomu kisitokyo bona owebamwikiririryamu, yabalokola.” 32 Batyo ni batandiika okulaabba obukwenda obukwata oku Musengwa eeri iye aamo nʼabʼomu kisitokye bonabona. 33 Omu kiire ekinyere ekyo, omukuumi wʼamabbuusu oyo nʼabawulucaamu, nʼabatwala awantu nʼabamiga ebiso byʼamakubbe. Oweyabbaire yankumala ekyo, bona ni bamubatiza iye aamo nʼabʼomu kisitokye bonabona. 34 Awo nʼatwala oPawulo nʼoSiira paka mu kisito e wuwe nʼabainula ebyokulya nga musangaali ino, iye aamo nʼabʼomu kisitokye bonabona, olwʼokubba yabbaire aikiririirye omu Kibbumba.
35 Owekwaceire, abalamuzi ni basindika abaisirikale baabwe eeri omukuumi wʼamabbuusu nʼekiragiro ati, “Oteere abasaiza abo.” 36 Awo omukuumi wʼamabbuusu nʼakoba oPawulo ati, “Nambu abalamuzi balagiire bati inywe mbateere. Aaso muwuluke mweyabire mwidembe.”
37 Neye oPawulo nʼakoba abaisirikale ati, “Batukubbire mulwatu amantasooka kutuwozesya neenu tuli nʼobutyami mu Looma, ni batudyaka nʼomu mabbuusu. Kaisi atyanu ekibaliku bati batwetooleku kimigi! Ekyo bbe. Ibo abanyere niibo ababba baize aanu era batwerekere okutuwuluca munu.”
38 Abaisirikale ni bairayo era ni batuuca ebibono ebyo egiri abalamuzi. Abalamuzi owebawuliire bati kaisi oPawulo nʼoSiira bali nʼobutyami ngʼaBalooma, ni batya. 39 Nʼolwekyo, ni baiza ni beenenya egiri oPawulo nʼoSiira, era ni babeereka okubawuluca e nza wʼamabbuusu, ni babeegairira bazwe omu kibuga ekyo. 40 Awo oPawulo nʼoSiira obwawulukire omu mabbuusu, baabire mu kisito kya Lidiya, egibaajiirye aboluganda abandi, ni babairyamu amaani. Kale awo ni bazwa omu kibuga e Firipi.
