< Ebikolwa by’Abatume 2 >

1 Awo olunaku lwa Pentekoote bwe lwatuuka bonna baali bakuŋŋaanidde mu kisenge kimu.
AND when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 Amangwago okuwuuma, nga kuli ng’empewo ey’amaanyi ennyo ekunta, ne kuva mu ggulu, ne kujjula mu nnyumba yonna mwe baali batudde.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 Ku buli omu ne kutuulako ennimi ng’ez’omuliro.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 Bonna ne bajjuzibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu, ne batandika okwogera ennimi ez’enjawulo nga Mwoyo Mutukuvu bwe yabasobozesa.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Waaliwo Abayudaaya bangi abatya Katonda abaali bazze mu Yerusaalemi nga bavudde mu buli ggwanga wansi w’eggulu.
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Bwe baawulira okuwuuma okwo, ekibiina kinene ne kikuŋŋaana, ne beewuunya okuwulira nga buli muntu awulira olulimi lw’ewaabwe.
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 Ne bawuniikirira ne beewuunya ne bagamba nti, “Bano bonna aboogera si Bagaliraaya?
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans?
8 Kale lwaki tuwulira buli muntu olulimi lw’ewaffe gye twazaalibwa?
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Tubawulira nga boogera eby’amagero bya Katonda mu nnimi ez’Abapaazi, n’Abameedi, n’Abeeramiti, n’ez’abalala abava e Mesopotamiya, ne Buyudaaya, ne Kapadokiya, mu Ponto ne mu Asiya,
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 ne mu Fulugiya ne mu Panfuliya, n’abamu abava mu Misiri, n’ensi za Libiya okuliraana Kuleene, n’abagenyi Abaruumi,
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Abayudaaya, n’abakyuka ne basoma Ekiyudaaya, n’Abakuleete n’Abawalabu.”
Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 Bonna ne beewuunya nga bawuniikiridde, ne bagambagana nti, “Kino kitegeeza ki?”
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 Naye abalala ne baseka busesi nga bagamba nti, “Banywedde mwenge musu!”
Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14 Awo Peetero n’asituka n’abatume ekkumi n’omu, n’asitula ku ddoboozi n’ayogera eri ekibiina, n’abagamba nti, “Abasajja Abayudaaya, nammwe mwenna ababeera mu Yerusaalemi, mutegeere bino era mumpulirize.
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 Abantu bano tebatamidde nga bwe mulowooza, kubanga essaawa ziri ssatu ez’enkya!
For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 Naye kino kye kyayogerwako nnabbi Yoweeri nti,
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 “‘Olulituuka mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma, bw’ayogera Katonda, ndifuka Omwoyo wange ku balina omubiri bonna. Batabani bammwe ne bawala bammwe baliwa obunnabbi; n’abavubuka bammwe balyolesebwa, n’abakadde baliroota ebirooto.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 Mu biro ebyo ndifuka Omwoyo wange, ku baweereza bange abasajja n’abakazi; baliwa obunnabbi.
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 Era ndikola ebyamagero mu ggulu waggulu, n’obubonero ku nsi wansi, omusaayi n’omuliro n’ekikoomi eky’omukka.
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 Enjuba erifuuka ekizikiza, n’omwezi gulimyuka ng’omusaayi, olunaku lwa Mukama olukulu era olw’ekitiibwa nga terunnatuuka.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 Na buli muntu alikoowoola erinnya lya Mukama, alirokolebwa.’
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 “Abasajja Abayisirayiri, muwulirize ebigambo bino! Yesu Omunnazaaleesi omuntu Katonda gwe yakakasa gye muli n’ebyamagero eby’ekitalo, Katonda bye yamukozesanga ng’ali mu mmwe, nga mwenna bwe mumanyi.
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Naye ng’enteekateeka ya Katonda bwe yali, omuntu oyo yaweebwayo mu mikono gy’abantu abatagoberera mateeka, ne mumutta nga mumukomeredde ku musaalaba.
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Kyokka Katonda yamuzuukiza ng’asaanyizaawo obulumi bw’okufa, kubanga okufa tekwayinza kumunyweza.
Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 Kubanga Dawudi amwogerako nti, “‘Nalaba nga Mukama ali nange bulijjo, kubanga ali ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, nneme okusagaasagana.
For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Noolwekyo omutima gwange kyeguvudde gusanyuka, n’olulimi lwange ne lukutendereza. Era n’omubiri gwange gunaabeeranga mu ssuubi.
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Kubanga tolireka mwoyo gwange kuzikirira so toliganya mutukuvu wo kuvunda. (Hadēs g86)
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Wandaga amakubo g’obulamu, era olinzijuza essanyu nga ndi mu maaso go.’
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 “Abasajja abooluganda, nnyinza okwogera n’obuvumu gye muli ku bifa ku jjajjaffe Dawudi nga yafa n’aziikibwa, era n’amalaalo ge weegali ne kaakano.
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Naye Dawudi yali nnabbi, n’amanya nga Katonda yamulayirira ekirayiro, nti mu bibala eby’omu ntumbwe ze mwe muliva alituula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwe,
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 bwe yakiraba olubereberye nayogera ku kuzuukira kwa Kristo nga teyalekebwa magombe so nga n’omubiri gwe tegwavunda. (Hadēs g86)
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Yesu oyo Katonda yamuzuukiza, era ffe ffenna tuli bajulirwa.
This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Awo bwe yagulumizibwa n’alaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda, n’aweebwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu eyamusuubizibwa Kitaffe, n’alyoka atuwa kino nammwe kye mwerabiddeko era kye mwewuliriddeko.
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 Kubanga Dawudi teyalinnya mu ggulu, naye agamba nti, “‘Mukama yagamba Mukama wange nti, “Tuula ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo,
For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 okutuusa lwe ndifuula abalabe bo entebe y’ebigere byo.”’
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 “Noolwekyo ennyumba yonna eya Isirayiri, bamanyire ddala nti oyo Yesu gwe mwakomerera ku musaalaba, Katonda yamufuula Mukama era Kristo!”
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Awo bwe baawuulira ebigambo ebyo, emitima ne gibaluma, ne bagamba Peetero n’abatume abalala, nti, “Abooluganda, kiki kye tusaanidde okukola?”
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Peetero n’abagamba nti, “Mwenenye, buli omu ku mmwe abatizibwe mu linnya lya Yesu Kristo musonyiyibwe ebibi byammwe, olwo nammwe mujja kufuna ekirabo ekya Mwoyo Mutukuvu.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 Kubanga ekisuubizo kiri eri mmwe n’eri abaana bammwe, n’eri bonna abali mu nsi ezeewala abalikoowoola Mukama Katonda waffe.”
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 Awo Peetero n’abategeeza mu bigambo ebirala bingi n’ababuulira ng’agamba nti mulokolebwe okuva mu mulembe guno ogwakyama.
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Awo abo abakkiriza ebigambo bye ne babatizibwa ku lunaku olwo ne beeyongerako ng’enkumi ssatu.
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 Ne banyiikiranga okuyigirizibwa kw’abatume ne mu kussekimu, ne mu kumenya omugaati era ne mu kusaba.
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 Buli muntu n’ajjula okutya era ebyamagero bingi n’obubonero bungi ne bikolebwanga abatume.
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 Abakkiriza ne bakuŋŋaananga bulijjo mu kifo kimu, ne baba nga bassa kimu mu byonna.
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 Eby’obugagga byabwe n’ebintu bye baalina ne babitunda ne bagabira buli muntu ng’okwetaaga kwe bwe kwabanga.
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 Ne banyiikiranga okukuŋŋaananga mu Yeekaalu buli lunaku, era ne bakuŋŋaananga ne mu maka gaabwe nju ku nju okumenya omugaati, ne baliiranga wamu emmere yaabwe n’essanyu lingi n’omutima ogutalina bukuusa,
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 nga batendereza Katonda, era nga basiimibwa abantu bonna. Mukama n’abongerangako bulijjo abaalokolebwanga.
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
