Acts 15
1 And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.
Awo ne wajja abantu abamu abaava mu Buyudaaya ne bayigiriza abooluganda nti, “Ssinga temukomolebwa ng’akalombolombo ka Musa bwe kali temuyinza kulokolebwa.”
2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question.
Pawulo ne Balunabba ne bawakana nnyo nabo ku nsonga eyo ne kisalibwawo nti Pawulo ne Balunabba n’abamu ku bakkiriza ab’omu Antiyokiya, batwale ensonga eyo eri abatume n’abakadde b’Ekkanisa mu Yerusaalemi.
3 They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
Ababaka ne bakwata ery’e Yerusaalemi, ne bayimirirako mu kibuga ky’e Fayiniikiya n’e Samaliya okukyalira abakkiriza mu bibuga ebyo n’okubategeeza ng’Abamawanga bangi bwe baakyuka ne bakkiriza. Ebigambo ebyo ne bisanyusa nnyo abooluganda.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.
Bwe baatuuka mu Yerusaalemi ne baanirizibwa ekkanisa, abatume n’abakadde b’Ekkanisa bonna. Ne babategeeza byonna Katonda bye yabakozesa.
5 But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.
Naye abamu ku bakkiriza, ab’omu kibiina ky’Abafalisaayo, ne basituka ne bagamba nti Abaamawanga bonna abakkiriza bateekwa okukomolebwa nga bwe kiri mu mateeka ga Musa, era n’okugoberera obulombolombo bwonna ng’empisa z’Ekiyudaaya bwe ziragira.
6 And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.
Awo abatume n’abakadde b’Ekkanisa ne bakuŋŋaana bateese ku nsonga eyo.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Oluvannyuma nga bateeserezza ebbanga ggwanvu, Peetero n’asituka n’abagamba nti, “Abooluganda, mwenna mumanyi nga Katonda yannonda dda mu mmwe mu nnaku ezaasooka, mbuulire Enjiri mu baamawanga nabo bakkirize.
8 And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
Era Katonda amanyi emitima gy’abantu, yayaniriza Abaamawanga ng’abawa Mwoyo Mutukuvu nga naffe bwe yatumuwa.
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Teyabasosola kubanga bwe baamala okukkiriza, obulamu bwabwe n’abunaaza ng’obwaffe bwe yabunaaza.
10 Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
Kale kaakano, lwaki mwagala okukema Katonda nga mukakaatika ekikoligo mu bulago bw’abayigirizwa, kye mumanyi nga bajjajjaffe kyabakaluubirira era naffe kitukaluubirira okwetikka?
11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.
Tukkiriza nti tulokolebwa lwa kisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu, era n’abamawanga bwe batyo bwe balokolebwa.”
12 And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Ekibiina kyonna ne kisiriikirira ne bawuliriza Balunabba ne Pawulo nga babategeeza eby’amagero n’obubonero Katonda bye yabakozesa nga bali ku mulimu gwe mu baamawanga.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
Bwe baamala okwogera, Yakobo n’agamba nti, “Abasajja abooluganda, mumpulirize.
14 Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.
Simooni abategeezezza ng’okusookera ddala Katonda bwe yakyalira Abaamawanga ne yeeronderamu abo ab’okuweesa erinnya lye ekitiibwa.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
Era kino kituukiriza bannabbi bye baayogera ng’Ekyawandiikibwa bwe kigamba nti,
16 After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up:
“‘Oluvannyuma lwa bino ndikomawo, ne nziddaabiriza ennyumba ya Dawudi eyagwa. Ndiddaabiriza ebifo ebyamenyebwamenyebwa. Ndigizaawo,
17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.
n’abantu abalala basobole okunoonya Mukama, era n’abamawanga be nayita okuba abantu bange.
Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama, alaga entegeka ye okuviira ddala ku ntandikwa y’ensi.’ (aiōn g165)
19 For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.
“Kyenva nsalawo nti, Tetusaana kutikka baamawanga abakkiriza Katonda mugugu munene nga tubawaliriza okukwata obulombolombo bwaffe obw’Ekiyudaaya.
20 But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Wabula tubawandiikire tubategeeze beewale okulya ennyama eya ssaddaaka eweebwayo eri bakatonda abalala, beewale obwenzi n’okulya ennyama ey’ebisolo ebitugiddwa, era beewale okulya n’omusaayi.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
Kubanga ebintu byonna biri mu mateeka ga Musa, era bibuulirwa mu makuŋŋaaniro g’Abayudaaya mu buli kibuga buli lunaku lwa Ssabbiiti ebbanga lyonna.”
22 Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.
Awo abatume n’abakadde b’Ekkanisa n’abooluganda bonna mu Kkanisa ne bateesa okutuma ababaka bagende ne Pawulo ne Balunabba mu Antiyokiya okubategeeza kye basazeewo. Abasajja abaalondebwa nga bakulembeze mu Kkanisa baali: Yuda (era gwe bayita Balusaba) ne Siira.
23 Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
Ne baweebwa ebbaluwa gye baatwala ng’esoma bw’eti: Ffe abatume, n’abakadde b’ekkanisa, Eri abooluganda, mu Antiyokiya yonna ne Siriya ne Kirukiya: Abooluganda tubalamusizza.
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:
Tuwulidde nti abamu ku booluganda baava wano ne bajja eyo nga si ffe tubatumye, ne boogera nammwe ebigambo ebyabatabulatabula mu kukkiriza kwammwe ne bibakeŋŋentereza emitima.
25 It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:
Kyetuvudde tuteesa ffenna, era ne tukkiriziganya bumu, okubatumira ababaka baffe bajjire wamu n’abaagalwa baffe, Balunabba ne Pawulo,
26 Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
abasajja abeewaddeyo okuweereza Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo nga tebabalirira bulamu bwabwe.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
Tubatumidde Yuda ne Siira bongere okubannyonnyola n’akamwa ebyo ebiri mu bbaluwa eno.
28 For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
Kubanga kwe kuteesa kwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu, era naffe, nga tekisaanira kubatikka migugu gya bwereere egiteetaagibwa, wabula musaana okugoberera bino:
29 That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.
Mwewalenga ennyama ettiddwa olw’okuweebwayo eri bakatonda abalala, mwewalenga n’okulya omusaayi, era n’ennyama ey’ebisolo ebitugiddwa, era mwewalenga obwenzi. Bwe muneegendereza ne mwewala ebintu ebyo, munaaba mukoze bulungi. Mweraba.
30 They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.
Awo abaatumibwa ne basitula ne bagenda mu Antiyokiya, ne bakuŋŋaanya ekibiina ky’abakkiriza ne babakwasa ebbaluwa eyo.
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
Bwe baagisoma, essanyu ne liba jjitirivu mu Kkanisa yonna olw’ebyo ebyagirimu.
32 But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.
Awo Yuda ne Siira, olwokubanga baali bannabbi, ne boogerera ebbanga ggwanvu nga bakubiriza abooluganda okunyweza okukkiriza kwabwe.
33 And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.
Awo Yuda ne Siira ne bamalayo ennaku ntonotono ne basiibula okuddayo eri abaabatuma. Abooluganda ne babatuma okulamusa abali mu Yerusaalemi n’okubeebaza olw’obubaka bwe baabaweereza.
34 But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
Naye Siira n’asalawo okusigalayo.
35 And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
Pawulo ne Balunabba ne babeera mu Antiyokiya okumala ebbanga nga bakolera wamu n’abalala nga babuuliira Enjiri era n’okuyigiriza.
36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.
Awo nga wayiseewo ennaku Pawulo n’agamba Balunabba baddeyo mu bibuga gye baabuulira Enjiri, bagende nga bakyalira abooluganda, balabe nga bwe bali.
37 And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;
Balunabba n’akkiriza, wabula n’ayagala ne Yokaana Makko agende nabo.
38 But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.
Naye Pawulo ekyo n’atakyagala, kubanga Makko yabaawukanako n’abaleka e Panfuliya ng’omulimu ogwabatwala tebannagumaliriza.
39 And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
Ne balemwa okukkiriziganya mu nsonga eyo, n’ekyavaamu kwe kwawukana. Balunabba n’atwala Makko ne basaabala ku nnyanja okulaga mu Kupulo.
40 But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.
Pawulo n’alonda Siira, abooluganda ne bamusabira ekisa kya Mukama mu lugendo lwe.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
Ne bayita mu Siriya ne mu Kirukiya nga bagenda bagumya ekkanisa.
