Ebikolwa by’Abatume 17
1 Awo ne batambula ne bayita mu bibuga Anfipoli ne Apolooniya ne batuuka e Sessaloniika, omwali ekkuŋŋaaniro ly’Abayudaaya.
As they made their iorney thorow Amphipolis and Appolonia they came to Thessalonica where was a synagoge of the Iewes.
2 Pawulo, ng’empisa ye bwe yali, n’agenda n’ababuuliranga ekigambo kya Katonda okuva mu byawandiikibwa, ku buli lwa Ssabbiiti okumala Ssabbiiti ssatu.
And Paul as his maner was went in vnto them and thre saboth doyes declared oute of the scripture vnto them
3 N’abannyonnyola era n’abalaga nga bwe kyali kyetaagisa Kristo okubonaabona n’okuzuukira mu bafu, era nti, “Oyo ye Kristo Yesu gwe mbabuulira.”
openynge and allegynge that Christ must nedes have suffred and rysen agayne from deeth and that this Iesus was Christ whom (sayde he) I preache to you.
4 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.
And some of them beleved and came and companyed with Paul and Sylas: also of the honourable Grekes a greate multitude and of the chefe wemen not a feawe.
5 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.
But the Iewes which beleved not havynge indignacio toke vnto the evyll men which were vagabondes and gadered a company and set all the cite on a roore and made asaute vnto the housse of Iason and sought to bringe the out to the people.
6 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,
But when they founde them not they drue Iason and certayne brethren vnto the heedes of the cite cryinge: these that trouble the worlde are come hydder also
7 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.”
which Iason hath receaved prevely. And these all do contrary to the elders of Cesar affirmynge another kynge one Iesus.
8 Ekibiina n’abakulu b’ekibuga bwe baawulira ebintu ebyo ne basasamala.
And they troubled the people and the officers of the cite when they hearde these thinges.
9 Bwe baamala okusasuza Yasooni ne banne omutango, ne babaleka ne bagenda.
And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason and of the other they let the goo.
10 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.
And the brethren immediatly sent awaye Paul and Sylas by nyght vnto Berrea. Which when they were come thyther they entred into ye synagoge of the Iewes.
11 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.
These were the noblest of byrthe amonge the of Thessalonia which receaved the worde wt all diligence of mynde and searched ye scriptures dayly whether those thinges were even so.
12 Era Abayudaaya bangi ne bakkiriza, n’abakazi ab’ekitiibwa Abayonaani bangi n’abasajja, nabo ne bakkiriza.
And many of the beleved: also of worshipfull weme which were Grekes and of men not a feawe.
13 Naye Abayudaaya ab’omu Sessaloniika bwe baategeera nga Pawulo abuulira ekigambo kya Katonda mu Beroya, ne bamuwondera ne batabangula ekibiina.
When the Iewes of Thessalonia had knowledge that ye worde of God was preached of Paul at Berrea they came there and moved the people.
14 Amangwago abooluganda bwe bakitegeera ne baweereza Pawulo ku nnyanja, Siira ne Timoseewo bo ne basigala e Beroya.
And then by and by ye brethre sent awaye Paul to goo as it were to ye see: but Sylas and Timotheus abode there still.
15 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.
And they that gyded Paul brought him vnto Attens and receaved a comaundment vnto Sylas and Timotheus for to come to him at once and came their waye.
16 Ebbanga Pawulo lye yamala ng’alinda Siira ne Timoseewo mu Asene, n’alumwa nnyo mu mutima bwe yalaba ng’ekibuga kijjudde bakatonda abalala.
Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens his sprete was moved in him to se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages.
17 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.
Then he disputed in the synagoge wt the Iewes and with the devout persones and in the market dayly with the that came vnto him.
18 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.”
Certayne philosophers of ye Epicures and of ye stoyckes disputed with him. And some ther were which sayde: what will this babler saye. Other sayd: he semeth to be a tydynges bringer of newe devyls because he preached vnto them Iesus and the resurreccion.
19 Naye ne bamuyita ajje mu kukuŋŋaana kwabwe okwa Aleyopaago nga bagamba nti, “Twagala okwongera okumanya ebikwata ku kuyigiriza kuno okuggya,
And they toke him and brought him into Marsestrete sayinge: maye we not knowe what this newe doctrine wher of thou speakest is?
20 kubanga oyogedde ebintu bingi ebyewuunyisa, noolwekyo twagala okwongera okumanya kye bitegeeza.”
For thou bringest straunge tydynges to oure eares. We wolde knowe therfore what these thinges meane.
21 Abaasene bonna n’abagenyi abajjanga mu Asene, baayagalanga nnyo okumala ebiseera byabwe mu kukubaganya ebirowoozo ku bintu ebiggya bye baakawulira.
For all the Attenians and straungers which were there gave the selves to nothinge els but ether to tell or to heare newe tydynges.
22 Awo Pawulo n’ayimirira mu maaso gaabwe mu Aleyopaago, n’abagamba nti, “Abasajja b’omu Asene! Ntegedde nga bwe muli abannaddiini ennyo;
Paul stode in the myddes of Marse strete and sayde: ye men of Attens I perceave that in all thinges ye are to supersticious.
23 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.
For as I passed by and behelde the maner how ye worship youre goddes I founde an aultre wher in was written: vnto ye vnknowen god. Whom ye then ignoratly worship him shewe I vnto you.
24 “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,
God that made the worlde and all that are in it seynge that he is Lorde of heven and erth he dwelleth not in temples made with hondes
25 era abantu tebayinza kumuyamba mu byetaago bye, kubanga talina byetaago! Ye yennyini y’awa buli muntu obulamu n’omukka gw’assa n’ebintu byonna.
nether is worshipped with mennes hondes as though he neded of eny thinge seinge he him selfe geveth lyfe and breeth to all men every where
26 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.
and hath made of one bloud all nacions of men for to dwell on all the face of the erthe and hath assigned before how longe tyme and also the endes of their inhabitacion
27 Yakola bw’atyo ng’ayagala abantu bonna banoonye Katonda, nga bafuba okumuvumbula, okumutuukako, newaakubadde nga buli omu ku ffe tamuli wala.
that they shuld seke God yf they myght fele and fynde him though he be not farre from every one of vs.
28 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.’
For in him we lyve move and have oure beynge as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde. For we are also his generacion.
29 “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.
For as moche then as we are the generacion of God we ought not to thynke that the godhed is lyke vnto golde silver or stone graven by crafte and ymaginacion of man.
30 Edda mu biseera ebyayita Katonda yagumiikiriza obutamanya bw’omuntu ku bintu ng’ebyo, naye kaakano alagira abantu bonna buli wantu okwenenya.
And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not: but now he byddeth all men every where repent
31 Kubanga yateekawo olunaku, oyo gwe yalonda lw’alisalirako ensi yonna omusango mu bwenkanya. Era yamukakasa eri abantu bonna kubanga yamuzuukiza mu bafu.”
because he hath apoynted a daye in the which he will iudge the worlde acordynge to ryghtewesses by that man whom he hath apoynted and hath offered faith to all men after that he had raysed him from deeth.
32 Awo bwe baawulira Pawulo ng’ayogera ku kuzuukira kw’abafu, abamu ne bamusekerera, abalala ne bamugamba nti, “Twandiyagadde okwongera okukuwuliriza ku nsonga eyo olulala.”
When they hearde of ye resurreccion from deeth some mocked and other sayde: we will heare the agayne of this matter.
33 Bw’atyo Pawulo n’afuluma mu lukuŋŋaana lwabwe.
So Paul departed from amonge them.
34 Naye abamu ku bo ne bamugoberera ne bakkiriza Mukama waffe. Omwo mwe mwali Diyonusiyo Omwaleyopaago, n’omukazi erinnya lye Damali n’abalala.
Howbeit certayne men clave vnto Paul and beleved amonge the which was Dionysius a senatour and a woman named Damaris and other with them.
