OPeetero nʼoYokaana omu Lukiiko
1 OPeetero nʼoYokaana nga bakaali batumula eeri abantu, abakabona nʼakulira abakuumi bʼeYeekaalu, aamo nʼabʼekibbula kyʼaBasedukaayo ababbaire aawo, ni baigerera egibali. 2 Babbaire banyiigi ino olwʼokubba abatume babbaire beegesya abantu oku Yesu ngʼoweyazuukiire, ekyo nga kiragisya era ni kikakasa kiti abafu bʼokuzuukira, ekintu ekyakanisya enjegesya yʼeKisedukaayo. 3 Nʼolwekyo, ni bagwera oPeetero nʼoYokaana, ni babakwata, neye olwʼokubba ebiseera byabbaire byeigulo ngʼobwire bubitire, ni babadyaka omu mabbuusu paka eizo. 4 Neye era, bangi kwabo ababbaire aawo abawuliire ebibono oPeetero ebiyalaabbiire abaikiririirye omu Yesu, era kwolwo obungi bwʼabaikirirya ni bweyongera paka ooti 5,000, nga tobaliireku abakali.
5 Oku lunaku olwairireku, abafugi bʼaBayudaaya nʼabantu abakulu omwigwanga, nʼabakugu omu byʼaMateeka ga Musa, ni bakumbaanira omu kibuga e Yerusaalemi. 6 Omu bikonge ebyabbairewo niimwo omwabbaire Anasi okabona akira obukulu eyawumwire, nʼoKayaafa eyabbaire okabona akira obukulu eyabbaireku ebiseera ebyo, nʼabakabona abandi babiri, oYokaana nʼErigizanda, nʼabasaiza abandi abʼomu lulyo lwa kabona akira obukulu. 7 Ni beetesya oPeetero nʼoYokaana, ni babeemererya omumaiso gʼakakiiko akakulu akʼabanadiini, ni batandiika okubabuulya ebibuulyo bati, “Okwaba okulamya omusaiza oyo, mwamulamiirye mu bwezye bwani? Ooba naani eyabawaire olukusa okukola ekyo?”
8 Awo oPeetero, ngʼaizwire amaani ga Mwoyo oMutukulye, nʼabairamu ati, “Basebo bafugi baiswe, era abantu abakulu omwigwanga lyaiswe. 9 Abba ngʼolwatyanu lunu mutuwozesya lwʼekikole ekisa ekitukolere eeri omuntu abbaire omunialuuki, na kutubuulya ngeri egyalamiremu, 10 aale inywe nywenanywena nʼabantu bʼomwIsirairi abandi bonabona mukimanye muti bwezye bwa Yesu oKurisito owʼe Naazaleesi, inywe ogumwakomereire oku musalabba neye oKibbumba nʼamuzuukiza, niibwo obulamirye omusaiza onu. Era kagira ayemereire omumaiso gaanywe nga mwomi piri. 11 OYesu oyo niiye eBiwandiike ogubitumulaku biti:
‘Eibbaale eryo abombeki eribagaine
lisuukire niiryo erikulu erisiba ensonda yʼomusingi.’+
12 “Era, mpaawo muntu gondi ayezya okulokola abantu okutoolaku oYesu. Ekyo kityo olwʼokubba mpaawo muntu gondi ansi wʼeisana oKibbumba oguyatusindikiire ateekwa okutulokola.”
13 AbʼoLukiiko owebaboine oPeetero nʼoYokaana nga bakalu bʼamaiso, era nga bakitegeireku bati bonabona bantu ba bulijo abatali bakugu omu byʼediini, ni kibeewunyisya ino, neye oluzwanyuma ni kibaizira kiti kaisi ababiri abo batambulanga nʼoYesu. 14 Nʼolwʼokubba babbaire beeboneraku omusaiza, eyabbaire omu kaseera ako ayemereire awo ampi nʼoPeetero nʼoYokaana, ngʼoweyabbaire alamire, ni bakayaku ekyʼokubavunaana. 15 Niiwo okulagira abo abebawozesya bawuluke omu Lukiiko. Owebamalire okubawuluca, abʼoLukiiko ni beegeyamu oku Peetero nʼoYokaana, nga webeebuulya bati, 16 “Twakola tutya okubonereza abantu banu? Ekisooka-obusooki, ekyewunyo ekyʼamaanimaani ekyo ekibakolere kimalire okumanyikana kumpi omu bʼe Yerusaalemi bonabona kale titwezya kukyegaana! 17 Koizi ekitubba tukole, tulabule basaiza banu kutairayo okutumula nʼomuntu yenayena ooba okwegesya omu liina eryo, amo ni twezya okulobeesererya ebikwata kwekyo ekibakolere okweyongera okusaalaana omu bantu.”
18 Batyo ni beetesya oPeetero nʼoYokaana, ni babalagira okutairayo okutumula, ooba okwegesya omuntu yenayena omu liina lya Yesu, waire ebimukwataku. 19 Okubairamu, oPeetero, ngʼali aamo nʼomwinaye oYokaana, nʼabairamu ati, “Inywe nywena abananyere kaabbo mwesalirewo ku binu ekisaaniire okukola omumaiso ga Kibbumba; kugondera niiye ooba niinywe? 20 Ekyo kityo olwʼokubba, mpaawo ngeri iswe egitwezya okutatumula kwebyo ebitweboneireku nʼagaiswe ngʼoYesu akola era nʼebyo ebitwawuliire ngʼayegesya.”
21 Awo oluzwanyuma lwʼokubatiisyatiisya, ni babateera, olwo-so nga bakayire ensonga etegerekeka egibababonerezeraku nandi ni bakayula abantu, olwʼokubba abantu bonabona ababbaire aawo babbaire bali mu kuwuuja Kibbumba olwʼekyo ekyakolere. 22 Omusaiza oyo nago ogubalamirye omu ngeri eyʼekyewunyo yabbaire wʼemyanka egibita omu 40.
Abaikirirya basaba obugumu
23 Owebamalire okubateera, oPeetero nʼoYokaana ni bairayo eeri abanaabwe, ni babakobera byonabyona abakabona abakulu, aamo nʼabantu abakulu omwigwanga abandi ebibabakobere. 24 Owebawuliire ebyo, bonabona nga bali kintu kimo, ni beegairira oKibbumba nʼebibono binu bati, “Musengwa iye oKibbumba aKira Byonabyona, iwe eyabbumbire eigulu nʼekyalo, nʼenyanza, era nabuli kintu ekibirimu.+ 25 Ngʼobitira omu Mwoyo oMutukulye, watumuliire omu zeiza waiswe era omuweereryawo okabaka Dawudi, nʼokoba oti:
‘Lwaki abanamawanga beediima,
era lwaki abantu basala enkwe eginambulamu?
26 Abafugi bʼoku kyalo beetegeka,
era abeekubbemberi bateesera aamo
okulwanisya oMusengwa
era okulwanisya oyo oguyasukireku amafuta.’*+
27 “Era omu butuuce kityo wekyabbaire; okabaka oKerode nʼoPontiyo Piraato nʼaBatali Bayudaaya, era nʼaBaisirairi beekumbaaniirye omu kibuga kinu ni basala olukwe okulwanisya omuweereryawo omutukulye, oYesu oguwasukireku amafuta.+ 28 Omu kukola ekyo, ni batuukirirya ekyo iwe ekiwabbaire omalire okutegeka omu bwezyebwo, ngʼowewatakire. 29 Aale atyanu Musengwa, olingirire omu kutiisyatiisya okubakolere, oyezesye abaweereryabo okutumula ekibonokyo nʼobugumu anambula kwezizyazizya. 30 Olage amaanigo olamye abantu, era nʼebyamagero tubikole omu liina lyʼomuweereryawo omutukulye oYesu.”
31 Owebamalire okwegairira oKibbumba, ni wabbaawo okutengeeta omu kifo omubabbaire bakumbaaniire. Bonabona ni baizula oMwoyo oMutukulye, era ni batandiika okutumula ekibono kya Kibbumba nʼobugumu.
Abaikirirya bagabana oku byabwe
32 Ebiro ebyo, abaikirirya ba Kurisito bonabona babbaire kintu kimo era nga bʼenseega moiza. Mpaawo kadi moiza mwibo eyakobanga ati ekintu kirebe ekyali nakyo kikye-kububwe iye yenkani, wazira ngʼakitwala ngʼekyʼokukolesya nʼokugasa nʼabainaye abandi bonabona.+ 33 Nʼamaani mangi, abatume ni bakakasanga okuzuukira kwa Musengwa waiswe oYesu, era bonabona oKibbumba nʼababbeeranga ino. 34 Nabuli moiza kwibo yasunanga ebiyeetaaganga, olwʼokubba abaabbanga nʼebigona ooba nyumba bagitundangamu, empiiya egyazwangamu 35 ni bagiwaayo eeri abatume, abatume ni bagigabira nabuli muntu okusinzirira oku kwetaaga okuyaabbanga nakwo.
36 Omu ngeri eyo, nʼomusaiza oMuleevi ogubeeta bati Yusufu omutyami wʼe Kupulo, abatume ogubabbaire bakaliiryeku erya Bbalunaba, amakulu gaalyo, Airyamu abantu amaani, 37 nʼatunda ekigonakye, empiiya egyazwiremu nʼagitwala nʼagikwatisya abatume.
