Acts 13
1 There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certaine Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had bin brought vp with Herod the Tetrarche) and Saul.
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.
2 Nowe as they ministred to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke whereunto I haue called them.
Awo bwe baali nga basinza Mukama era nga bwe basiiba, Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’agamba nti, “Munjawulire Balunabba ne Sawulo olw’omulimu gwe mbayitidde.”
3 Then fasted they and prayed, and layde their hands on them, and let them goe.
Awo bwe baamala okusaba n’okusiiba, ne bassa emikono gyabwe ku Balunabba ne Sawulo, ne babasiibula ne bagenda.
4 And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy Ghost, came downe vnto Seleucia, and from thence they sayled to Cyprus.
Awo Balunabba ne Sawulo ne batumibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu okugenda e Serukiya, gye baava ne bawunguka okulaga e Kupulo.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister.
Bwe baatuuka mu Salamisi ne bayingira mu makuŋŋaaniro g’Abayudaaya ne babuulira ekigambo kya Katonda. Yokaana Makko yali nabo okubaweereza.
6 So when they had gone throughout the yle vnto Paphus, they found a certaine sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Iewe, named Bariesus,
Ne bagenda nga babuulira ku kizinga kyonna okutuuka e Pafo. Eyo ne basangayo omufumu Omuyudaaya eyali nnabbi ow’obulimba, erinnya lye Balisa.
7 Which was with the Deputie Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called vnto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the woorde of God.
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.
8 But Elymas, ye sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne away the Deputie from the faith.
Naye Eruma omufumu (kubanga ago ge makulu g’erinnya lye mu Luyonaani), n’abeekiikamu, n’agezaako okusendasenda gavana aleme okuwuliriza ebigambo eby’okukkiriza.
9 Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
Naye Sawulo, era ng’ayitibwa Pawulo, n’ajjuzibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’atunuulira Eruma enkaliriza,
10 And sayde, O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, the childe of the deuill, and enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies of the Lord?
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 Nowe therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blinde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediately there fel on him a mist and a darknes; and he went about, seeking some to leade him by the hand.
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 Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done, beleeued, and was astonied at the doctrine of the Lord.
Awo gavana bwe yalaba ebibaddewo, n’akkiriza, era n’awuniikirira nnyo olw’okuyigiriza kw’ekigambo kya Mukama.
13 Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem.
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 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe.
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 And after the lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
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 Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare God, hearken.
Awo Pawulo n’ayimuka, n’abawenya n’ayogera nti, “Abasajja Abayisirayiri, nammwe abatya Katonda, muwulirize!
17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof.
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 And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.
n’abagumiikiriza okumala emyaka amakumi ana nga bali mu ddungu.
19 And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot.
N’azikiriza amawanga musanvu agaabeeranga mu nsi ya Kanani, era ensi eyo n’agiwa Abayisirayiri okubeera omugabo gwabwe,
20 Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of Samuel the Prophet.
okumala emyaka ng’ebikumi bina mu ataano. “Oluvannyuma n’abalondera abalamuzi okubafuganga okutuusa mu biro bya nnabbi Samwiri.
21 So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.
Awo abantu ne basaba bafugibwe kabaka. Katonda n’abawa Sawulo mutabani wa Kiisi, ow’omu kika kya Benyamini, n’afugira emyaka amakumi ana.
22 And after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will.
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 Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus:
“Mu zzadde lye, Katonda mwe yalonda Omulokozi, ye Yesu, nga bwe yasuubiza Isirayiri.
24 When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Naye nga tannajja, Yokaana yabuulira abantu bonna mu Isirayiri okubatizibwa okw’okwenenya.
25 And when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete I am not worthy to loose.
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 Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation sent.
“Abasajja abooluganda mmwe bazzukulu ba Ibulayimu, nammwe abatya Katonda, obubaka buno obw’obulokozi, bwaffe ffenna wamu.
27 For the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.
Ababeera mu Yerusaalemi n’abakulembeze baabwe ne batamumanya oyo newaakubadde ebigambo bya bannabbi, ebyasomebwanga buli Ssabbiiti. Baamusalira omusango, ne batuukiriza ebigambo bino.
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.
Tebaalina nsonga emussa, naye era ne basaba Piraato amutte.
29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre.
Bwe baamala okutuukiriza byonna ebyamuwandiikwako, n’awanulwayo ku musaalaba n’agalamizibwa mu ntaana.
30 But God raised him vp from the dead.
Naye Katonda n’amuzuukiza mu bafu.
31 And hee was seene many dayes of them, which came vp with him from Galile to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people.
Era abo be yajja nabo e Yerusaalemi ng’ava e Ggaliraaya n’abalabikiranga okumala ennaku nnyingi. Era be bajulirwa be eri abantu.
32 And we declare vnto you, that touching the promise made vnto the fathers,
“Ne kaakano tubategeeza nti, Katonda kye yasuubiza bajjajjaffe
33 God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the seconde Psalme, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
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 Nowe as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, no more to returne to corruption, he hath said thus, I wil giue you the holy things of Dauid, which are faithfull.
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 Wherefore hee sayeth also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.
Ne mu kyawandiikibwa ekirala agamba nti, “‘Toliganya Mutukuvu wo kuvunda.’
36 Howbeit, Dauid after hee had serued his time by the counsell of God, hee slept, and was laid with his fathers, and sawe corruption.
“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 But he whom God raised vp, sawe no corruption.
Noolwekyo, oyo Katonda gwe yazuukiza teyavunda.
38 Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.
“Abooluganda, mumpulirize! Mu muntu ono Yesu okusonyiyibwa ebibi mwe kubuuliddwa. Kino nga tekiyinzika mu mateeka ga Musa.
39 And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified.
Buli amukkiriza n’amwesiga aggyibwako omusango gw’ekibi, n’aweebwa obutuukirivu.
40 Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets,
Mwegendereze, ebigambo bya bannabbi bireme kutuukirira ku mmwe, bwe baagamba nti:
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it you.
“‘Mulabe, mmwe abanyoomi, musamaalirire era muzikirire! Kubanga nnina omulimu gwe nkola mu kiseera, gwe mutagenda kukkiriza newaakubadde omuntu ne bw’aligubannyonnyola atya temuligukkiriza.’”
42 And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.
Awo Pawulo ne Balunabba bwe baali bafuluma mu kkuŋŋaaniro, abantu ne babasaba bakomewo ku Ssabbiiti eddirira bongere okubabuulira ku bigambo ebyo.
43 Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.
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 And ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God.
Ku Ssabbiiti eyaddirira kumpi buli muntu eyali mu kibuga n’ajja okuwulira ekigambo kya Katonda.
45 But when the Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.
Naye Abayudaaya bwe baalaba ebibiina ebinene nga bizze, ne bakwatibwa obuggya, ne batandika okuwakanya n’okujolonga byonna Pawulo bye yayogeranga.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
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. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world.
Kubanga bw’atyo Mukama bwe yatulagira bwe yagamba nti, “‘Mbafudde omusana okwakira Abaamawanga, olw’obulokozi okutuuka ku nkomerero y’ensi.’”
48 And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued. (aiōnios g166)
Abaamawanga bwe baawulira ebyo ne bajjula essanyu; era bangi ne bakkiriza, abo Katonda be yalonda okuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
49 Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey.
Awo ekigambo kya Katonda ne kibuna mu kitundu ekyo kyonna.
50 But the Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes.
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 But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.
Abatume ne babakunkumulira enfuufu ey’omu bigere byabwe, ne babaviira ne balaga mu Ikoniya.
52 And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.
Abayigirizwa ne bajjula essanyu ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu.
