Acts 11
1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.
Awo abatume n’abooluganda abaali mu Buyudaaya mwonna ne bawulira nti n’Abamawanga bakkiriza ekigambo kya Katonda.
2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
Naye Peetero bwe yakomawo mu Yerusaalemi, abakomole ne bamunenya,
3 saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them."
nga bagamba nti, “Lwaki wakyalira Abaamawanga abatali bakomole n’oyingira ne mu nnyumba n’olya nabo?”
4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
Awo Peetero n’abannyonnyola byonna ng’agamba
5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
nti, “Bwe nnali nsaba, nga ndi mu kibuga kya Yopa, ne njolesebwa. Essuuka ennene ennyo ng’ewaniriddwa ku nsonda zaayo ennya, n’essibwa mu maaso gange ng’eva mu ggulu.
6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.
Mu ssuuka eyo ne ndabamu ebisolo byonna eby’oku nsi ebirina amagulu ana, n’ebyewalula, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga.
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
Ne mpulira eddoboozi nga liŋŋamba nti, ‘Peetero, situka osale, olye.’
8 But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'
“Nze ne nziramu nti, ‘Nedda, Mukama wange, kubanga siryanga ku kintu kya muzizo oba ekitali kirongoofu.’
9 But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'
“Naye eddoboozi ne liddamu nga liŋŋamba nti, ‘Ekyo Katonda ky’amaze okulongoosa tokiyitanga ekitali kirongoofu.’
10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Ne kiba bwe kityo emirundi esatu. Oluvannyuma essuuka n’ezzibwayo mu ggulu ne byonna ebyagirimu.
11 And look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
“Amangwago laba abasajja basatu abaatumibwa okuva e Kayisaliya ne batuuka ku nnyumba we nnali nsula!
12 The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.
Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’aŋŋamba ŋŋende nabo, awatali kulwa, n’abooluganda bano omukaaga ne bamperekerako, ne tutuuka mu maka g’omusajja eyali antumidde ababaka abo.
13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,
N’atutegeeza nga malayika bwe yamulabikira mu nnyumba ye, n’amugamba nti, ‘Tuma ababaka e Yopa banoonye Simooni ayitibwa Peetero,
14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'
ajje akutegeeze ggwe n’ab’omu nnyumba yo nga bwe muyinza okulokolebwa!’
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
“Awo bwe nnali nga nakatandika okubabuulira Enjiri, Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’abakkako nga naffe bwe yatukkako ku kusookera ddala!
16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
Awo ne nzijukira ebigambo bya Mukama waffe bwe yagamba nti, ‘Yokaana yabatiza na mazzi, naye mmwe mulibatizibwa na Mwoyo Mutukuvu.’
17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?"
Olw’okubanga Katonda ye yawa Abaamawanga bano ekirabo kye kimu, naffe kye yatuwa bwe twakkiriza Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, nange nze ani eyandiwakanyizza Katonda?”
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance to life."
Bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo ne basirika, ne bagulumiza Katonda! Ne bagamba nti, “Ddala, n’Abamawanga Katonda abawadde omukisa okwenenya bakyuke badde gy’ali abawe obulamu obutaggwaawo.”
19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
Awo abo abakkiriza abadduka okuva mu Yerusaalemi mu kuyigganyizibwa okwaddirira okuttibwa kwa Suteefano, ne basaasaana ne batuuka ne mu bifo nga Foyiniiki, ne Kupulo, ne Antiyokiya, ne babunya Enjiri, naye nga babuulira Bayudaaya bokka.
20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus.
Naye, abamu ku bakkiriza abaagenda mu Antiyokiya nga bava e Kupulo n’e Kuleene ne babuulira Abayonaani ku Mukama waffe Yesu.
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
Awo omukono gwa Mukama ne gubeera wamu nabo, Abaamawanga bangi ne bakkiriza ne bakyuka okudda eri Mukama.
22 And the report concerning them was heard by the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch,
Awo ab’omu Kkanisa y’omu Yerusaalemi bwe baawulira ebyo, ne batuma Balunabba mu Antiyokiya ayambe abakkiriza.
23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to the Lord.
Bwe yatuuka n’alaba eby’ekitalo Katonda bye yali akola mu bantu, n’ajjula essanyu, n’akubiriza abakkiriza banywerere ku Mukama n’emitima gyabwe gyonna.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
Balunabba yali muntu wa kisa ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’okukkiriza, abantu bangi ne basenga Mukama.
25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Balunabba n’alaga e Taluso okunoonya Sawulo,
26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
bwe yamulaba n’amuleeta mu Antiyokiya. Bombi ne babeera mu Antiyokiya okumala omwaka mulamba nga bakolera wamu n’Ekkanisa yaayo, ne bayigiriza abantu bangi nnyo. Wano mu Antiyokiya abayigirizwa we baasookera okuyitibwa Abakristaayo.
27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo bannabbi abaaserengeta mu Antiyokiya nga bava mu Yerusaalemi.
28 One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
Omu ku bo erinnya lye Agabo n’asituka ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’ategeeza ng’enjala ey’amaanyi bw’ejja okugwa mu nsi zonna wonna mu bufuzi bwa Kulawudiyo.
29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
Awo abayigirizwa ne bamalirira okuweereza obuyambi eri abooluganda abaali mu Buyudaaya, buli muntu nga yeesonda nga bwe yasobola,
30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
ne batuma Balunabba ne Sawulo batwalire abakadde.
