Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 17
1 Bhejile bhalabha mu misi ja Amfipoli na Apollonia, nibhaja bhakinga mu musi gwa Thesalonike anu lyaliga lili elikofyanyisho lya Abayaudi.
Awo ne batambula ne bayita mu bibuga Anfipoli ne Apolooniya ne batuuka e Sessaloniika, omwali ekkuŋŋaaniro ly’Abayudaaya.
2 Lwa kutyo aliga analile Paulo, agendele kubhene, ku mwanya gwa naku esatu eja Isabhato bhabhushanya ingulu ya maandiko.
Pawulo, ng’empisa ye bwe yali, n’agenda n’ababuuliranga ekigambo kya Katonda okuva mu byawandiikibwa, ku buli lwa Ssabbiiti okumala Ssabbiiti ssatu.
3 Aliga nabhegulila amaandiko no kubhelesha ati, jimwiile Kristo anyasibhwe no kumala nasuluka lindi okusoka mubhafuye. Abhabhwiliye,” Yesu unu enibhabhwila emisango jae niwe Kristo”
N’abannyonnyola era n’abalaga nga bwe kyali kyetaagisa Kristo okubonaabona n’okuzuukira mu bafu, era nti, “Oyo ye Kristo Yesu gwe mbabuulira.”
4 Abayaudi abhandi bhekilisishe no kugwatana na Paulo na Sila, amwi na bhagiliki na bhanu baliga bhamulamya Nyamuanga, bha mai bhafu na liijo enene lwa bhanu bhafu bhakisibhwa.
Abamu ku Bayudaaya abaamuwuliriza ne bakkiriza ne beegatta ku Pawulo ne Siira; era n’Abayonaani bangi abatya Katonda awamu n’abakazi bangi ab’ekitiibwa mu kibuga ekyo.
5 Mbe nawe Abayaudi abhandi abho bhekilishe, nibhejula libhubha, nibhagenda mwigulilo no kubhagega abhanu abhandi abhajabhi, nibhakumanya liijo lwa bhanu amwi, no kuletelela ijogele mumusi, okumala nibhengila kwamanaga mu nyumbha ya Jason, nibhwenda ukubhagwata Paulo na Sila koleleki bhalete imbhele ya abhanu.
Naye Abayudaaya ne bakwatibwa obuggya, ne bagenda nga bafukuutirira abantu ab’empisa embi ne babaggya mu nguudo z’omu kibuga ne mu katale, ne batandikawo akasasamalo mu kibuga. Ne balumbagana amaka ga Yasooni nga banoonyaamu Pawulo ne Siira babatwale mu kibiina ky’abantu.
6 Mbe nawe bhejile bhabhatasha, nibhamugwata Yasoni na bhandi abhasu abhadi ni nibhabhasila imbele ya bhakulu bho musi nibhayogana abhalume bhanu bhaindue echalo bhakigile enu one,
Bwe baababulwa, kwe kukwata Yasooni n’abooluganda abamu ne babaleeta mu maaso g’abakulu b’ekibuga, nga bwe baleekaana nti, “Pawulo ne Siira batabuddetabudde ebifo ebirala mu nsi yonna, ne kaakano bazze wano batabuletabule ekibuga kyaffe,
7 Abhalume bhanu bhanu bhakabhisibhwe na jasoni abhanyamula echilagilo cha kaisali, abhaika alio omkama oudi oyo kabhilikilwa Yesu”
era Yasooni oyo y’abaaniriza mu maka ge. Bano bonna bazizza omusango ogw’okuseeketerera eggwanga ne bamenya amateeka ga Kayisaali nga bayimbirira kabaka omulala Yesu.”
8 Liijo na bhakulu bho musi Bhejile bhakongwa emisango jinu, nibhengilwa no bhubha
Ekibiina n’abakulu b’ekibuga bwe baawulira ebintu ebyo ne basasamala.
9 BHejile bhakamala okugega jipilya je chibhalo Cho mulisi okusoka ku Jason na bhandi, bhabhatatie bhagede.
Bwe baamala okusasuza Yasooni ne banne omutango, ne babaleka ne bagenda.
10 Mugeta ilya abhasu bhamtumile Paulo Sila Beroya. bhejile bhakakinga elia bhagedele mu mulikofyanyosho lya bhaudi.
Obudde bwe bwaziba abooluganda ne bafulumya Pawulo ne Siira mu kibuga ne babaweereza e Beroya. Bwe baatuuka eyo ne bagenda mu kkuŋŋaaniro ly’Abayudaaya okusinza n’okubuulira, nga bwe yali empisa yaabwe.
11 Abhanu bhalia baliga no bhegeso bunene okukila abhanu balya Abha Thesalonike, kwa insoga baliga bhali bhagu bho kulamila omusango kwo bhwege bhwebhwe, no kuigilisha amaandiko bhuli lunaku koleleki bhalole emisango kutyo jaikilwe labha nikwo kutyo jili.
Abayudaaya b’omu Beroya baali balungi okusinga ab’e Sessaloniika, ne bawuliriza bulungi n’essanyu Ekigambo ekyababuulirwa. Buli lunaku nga babikkula Ebyawandiikibwa okunoonyaamu ebyo Pawulo ne Siira bye baayogerangako bakakase nti bya mazima.
12 Kulwejo ku bhwafu bhwebhwe bhekilisishe bhalimo Abagasi abhokukongya Abhakulu bhe chigiriki abhalume bhafu.
Era Abayudaaya bangi ne bakkiriza, n’abakazi ab’ekitiibwa Abayonaani bangi n’abasajja, nabo ne bakkiriza.
13 Mbe nawe Abayaudi abha Thesalonike Bhejile bhamenya ati Paulo kalasha omusango gwa Nyamuwanga eyo Beroya, bhagendeleyo no kusoyelesha no kumala mbhabisha injogele ku bhanu.
Naye Abayudaaya ab’omu Sessaloniika bwe baategeera nga Pawulo abuulira ekigambo kya Katonda mu Beroya, ne bamuwondera ne batabangula ekibiina.
14 kwo bhwangu, abhasu nibhamusila Paulo kwa injila ya inyanja, nawe Sila na Timotheo nibhasigala alia.
Amangwago abooluganda bwe bakitegeera ne baweereza Pawulo ku nnyanja, Siira ne Timoseewo bo ne basigala e Beroya.
15 Abhasu bhalya bhanu bhamusilile Paulo bhagendele nage nibhakinga Athene, eyo bhamsigile Paulo, bhalamie amalagililo kusoka ku mwene ati, Sila na Timotheo bhagende ku mwene bhwangu kutyo ejitulikana.
Abaawerekera ku Pawulo ne bagenda naye okutuukira ddala mu Asene, eyo gye baamuleka ne bakomawo e Beroya ng’abatumye bagambe Siira ne Timoseewo bagende mangu gy’ali.
16 O mwanya ogwo nabhatendesha eyo Athene, omwoyo gwae gwabhiiliywe munda yae lwa kutyo agulolele omusi gwijue ebhisusano bhafu.
Ebbanga Pawulo lye yamala ng’alinda Siira ne Timoseewo mu Asene, n’alumwa nnyo mu mutima bwe yalaba ng’ekibuga kijjudde bakatonda abalala.
17 kwibyo nabhusilishanya ne likofyanyisho lya abhayaudi bhanu bhaliga nibhamulamya Nyamuanga na ku bhalia Bona abho abhonene nabho bhuli lunaku mwigulilo.
N’abeeranga mu kkuŋŋaaniro buli lunaku ng’akubaganya ebirowoozo n’Abayudaaya n’Abamawanga abatya Katonda, era n’ayogeranga eri abantu bonna abajjanga okumuwuliriza mu kibuga wakati okumpi n’akatale.
18 Mbe nawe abhasomi abhandi abha Waepikureo na Wastoiko bhamulubha. Abhandi nibhaika,”nichinuki chinu kaika omwaiki unu mulela? Abhandi mbhaika,” ejibhonekana kalasha emisango ja Nyamuanga mgenyi” kwa insonga kalasha emisango jo bhusuluko bha Yesu.
Abamu ku bayigiriza bakagezimunnyu Aba Epikuliyo ne Abasutoyiiko ne batandika okuwakana naye. Bwe yabuulira ku Yesu n’okuzuukira kw’abafu ne bagamba nti, “Aloota buloosi,” n’abalala nti, “Waliwo eddiini empya etali ya wano gy’ayimbirira.”
19 Mbhamugega Paulo no kumleta Areopago, mbhaika,”echitula gamenya ameigisho mayaya ganu owaika?
Naye ne bamuyita ajje mu kukuŋŋaana kwabwe okwa Aleyopaago nga bagamba nti, “Twagala okwongera okumanya ebikwata ku kuyigiriza kuno okuggya,
20 Kwa insonga uleta misango miyaya mu matwi geswe. Kulwejo echenda okumenya emisango jinu jili na nsonga ki?”
kubanga oyogedde ebintu bingi ebyewuunyisa, noolwekyo twagala okwongera okumanya kye bitegeeza.”
21 (Abhanu Bhona abha Athene amwi na abhagenyi abho bhalio kubhene, abhakolela omwanya gwebhe amwi mu kwaika no kutegelesha ingulu ye misango miyaya.)
Abaasene bonna n’abagenyi abajjanga mu Asene, baayagalanga nnyo okumala ebiseera byabwe mu kukubaganya ebirowoozo ku bintu ebiggya bye baakawulira.
22 Kulwejo Paulo nemelegulu agati-gati ya bhanu bha Areopago no kwaika,”emwe abhanu bha Athene, enilola ati emwe muli bhanu bha idini kwa bhuli nyami,
Awo Pawulo n’ayimirira mu maaso gaabwe mu Aleyopaago, n’abagamba nti, “Abasajja b’omu Asene! Ntegedde nga bwe muli abannaddiini ennyo;
23 mukulabha kwani no kulola ebhinu bhyemwe ebyo kulamya, enilola emisango jandikilwe ku bhimwi bhye bhishengelo bhemwe, nijaika “KU NYAMUANGA UNU ATAKUMENYEKANA”. kwibyo woli, unu omulamya mtamenya, oyo niwe enibhamenyesha emwe.
kubanga bwe mbadde ntambulatambula ne ndaba ebyoto bya ssaddaaka bingi, ne ku kimu nga kuliko ebigambo bino nti: Kya Katonda Atamanyiddwa. Mubadde mumusinza nga temumumanyi, nange kaakano njagala mbamutegeeze.
24 Nyamuanga unu amogele echalo na bhuli chinu chinu chili munda, kulwo kubha niwe Latabugenyi wo lwile ne Chalo, atakutula kwiyanja mu mayekalu ganu gakolelwe na mabhoko.
“Katonda oyo ye yakola ensi n’ebintu byonna ebigirimu. Era olwokubanga ye Mukama w’eggulu n’ensi tabeera mu yeekaalu ezikolebwa n’emikono gy’abantu,
25 Ona atakolelwa na mabhoko ga bhana bhanu kuti kenda chinu ku bhene, kulwo kubha omwenene niwe kabhayana abhanu obhuwanga no mwika ne bhinu ebhindi Bhona.
era abantu tebayinza kumuyamba mu byetaago bye, kubanga talina byetaago! Ye yennyini y’awa buli muntu obulamu n’omukka gw’assa n’ebintu byonna.
26 Okutulila munu umwi, akolele Amaanga gona ganu abhanu bhekaemo ingulu yo bhusu bhe Chalo, na bhatelao omwanya na jimbibi mu mabala ganu bhekaemo.
Ye yatonda abantu bonna mu nsi, ng’abaggya mu muntu omu, n’abasaasaanya mu mawanga okubuna ensi yonna. N’ateekateeka amawanga agalisituka n’agaligwa, era n’ebbanga lye galimala. Era n’agakolera n’ensalo zaago.
27 Kulwejo, abhendibhwa okumuinga Nyamuanga koleleki bhamukingeko no kumubhona, na kulwe chimali atali kula na bhuli umwi weswe.
Yakola bw’atyo ng’ayagala abantu bonna banoonye Katonda, nga bafuba okumuvumbula, okumutuukako, newaakubadde nga buli omu ku ffe tamuli wala.
28 KU mwene chilamile, echilibhata no kubha no bhuanga bhweswe, lwa kutyo omwimbi umwi owa lishaili kutyo aikile “chili bhebhulwa bae.”
Kubanga mu ye mwe tubeera, era mwe tutambulira, era mwe muli obulamu bwaffe. Ng’omu ku bawandiisi bammwe bw’agamba nti, ‘Tuli baana ba Katonda.’
29 Kulwejo, alabha Eswe chili bhebhulwa bha Nyamuanga, kuteile okwiganilisha ati Nyamuanga ni uti jaabhu amwi uti mpilya amwi uti mabhui amwi bhisusano bhinu ebhibhajwa kwo buryo na meganilisho ga bhanu.
“Obanga kino kya mazima nti tuli baana ba Katonda, tetusaana kumulowoozaako ng’ekibajje ekikoleddwa abantu oba ekintu ekyoleddwa mu zaabu oba ffeeza oba ekitemeddwa mu jjinja.
30 Kulwejo, Nyamuwanga ajibhie omwanya gulya ogwo bhumumu nawe woli kalagilila abhanu bhona bha bhuli ebhala bhate.
Edda mu biseera ebyayita Katonda yagumiikiriza obutamanya bw’omuntu ku bintu ng’ebyo, naye kaakano alagira abantu bonna buli wantu okwenenya.
31 Inu niyo insonga ateeyo Olunaku lunu alija okulamula echalo muchimali KU munu unu asolele. Nyamuanga asosishe echimali ku bhuli munu anu amusuluye okusoka mubhafue alya.
Kubanga yateekawo olunaku, oyo gwe yalonda lw’alisalirako ensi yonna omusango mu bwenkanya. Era yamukakasa eri abantu bonna kubanga yamuzuukiza mu bafu.”
32 Abhanu bha Athene Bhejile bongwa emisango jo kusululwa kwa bhafue, abhandi mbamjimya Paulo, Mbe nawe abhandi bhaika “echija okukutegelesha lindi KU misango ja gunu”
Awo bwe baawulira Pawulo ng’ayogera ku kuzuukira kw’abafu, abamu ne bamusekerera, abalala ne bamugamba nti, “Twandiyagadde okwongera okukuwuliriza ku nsonga eyo olulala.”
33 Jejile jawa ejo, Paulo nabhasiga.
Bw’atyo Pawulo n’afuluma mu lukuŋŋaana lwabwe.
34 Mbe nawe abhanu abhandi mbagwatana nage mu kwilisha, alimo Dionisio unu aliga Ali mureopago, no mugasi unu kabhwilikilwa Damari na bhandi amwi nabho.
Naye abamu ku bo ne bamugoberera ne bakkiriza Mukama waffe. Omwo mwe mwali Diyonusiyo Omwaleyopaago, n’omukazi erinnya lye Damali n’abalala.
