Ebikolwa by’Abatume 3
1 Awo Peetero ne Yokaana bwe baali bagenda mu Yeekaalu mu kusaba okw’essaawa omwenda,
One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
2 ne wabaawo omusajja eyazaalibwa nga mulema gwe baasitulanga ne bateekanga bulijjo ku mulyango gwa Yeekaalu oguyitibwa Omulyango Omulungi, okusabiriza.
And a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those entering the temple courts.
3 Awo bwe yalaba Peetero ne Yokaana nga bagenda okuyingira mu yeekaalu n’abasaba ensimbi.
When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.
4 Ne bamwekaliriza amaaso, Peetero n’alyoka amugamba nti, “Tutunuulire!”
Peter looked directly at him, as did John. “Look at us!” said Peter.
5 N’abatunuulira ng’asuubira okuweebwayo akantu.
So the man gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Naye Peetero n’agamba nti, “Effeeza ne zaabu sibirina, naye ka nkuwe ekyo kye nnina. Mu linnya lya Yesu Omunnazaaleesi Golokoka, otambule!”
But Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”
7 Awo Peetero n’akwata omulema ku mukono ogwa ddyo n’amuyimusa, amangwago ebigere by’omusajja n’obukongovvule ne bifuna amaanyi,
Taking him by the right hand, Peter helped him up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.
8 n’abuuka n’ayimirira n’atandika okutambula! N’ayingira nabo mu Yeekaalu ng’atambula era nga bw’abuuka ng’atendereza Katonda.
He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 Abantu bonna ne baamulaba ng’atambula, era ng’atendereza Katonda,
When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10 ne bamutegeera nga ye wuuyo eyatuulanga ku mulyango gwa Yeekaalu oguyitibwa Omulyango Omulungi ng’asabiriza, ne bawuniikirira era ne beewuunya nnyo olw’ekyo ekimutuuseeko.
they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Awo omusajja eyali omulema bwe yali ng’akyekutte ku Peetero ne Yokaana abantu bonna ne badduka okujja we baali ne bakuŋŋaanira mu kisasi kya Sulemaani, nga basamaaliridde.
While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran to them in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade.
12 Awo Peetero bwe yabalaba n’agamba abantu nti, “Abasajja Abayisirayiri, kiki ekibeewuunyisa? Era lwaki mututunuulira ng’abagamba nti obulungi bwaffe n’obuyinza bwaffe bye bitambuzza omusajja ono?
And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
13 Katonda wa Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka, ne Yakobo, era Katonda wa bajjajjaffe ffenna yagulumiza omuweereza we Yesu, gwe mwawaayo ne mu mwegaanira mu maaso ga Piraato newaakubadde nga ye yali amaliridde okumusumulula,
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.
14 naye mmwe ne mwegaana omutuukirivu era omutukuvu, ne musaba babateere omutemu.
You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
15 Bwe mutyo ne mutta aleeta obulamu; oyo ye Katonda yamuzuukiza mu bafu, era ffe bajulirwa.
You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of the fact.
16 Olw’okukkiriza mu linnya lye, omusajja ono, mwenna gwe mulaba era gwe mumanyi aweereddwa amaanyi mu linnya lye, era okukkiriza mu ye kwe kuwadde omusajja ono obulamu obutuukiridde nga mwenna bwe mulaba.
By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.
17 “Kale kaakano, abooluganda, mmanyi nga kye mwakola mwakikola mu butamanya, era n’abakulembeze bammwe nabo bwe batyo.
And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.
18 Kyokka Katonda yali atuukiriza ebyo bannabbi bonna bye baayogera nti Kristo we ateekwa okubonaabona mu ngeri eyo.
But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.
19 Noolwekyo mwenenye, mukyuke, mulyoke mugibweko ebibi byammwe,
Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,
20 mulyoke muwummulire mu maaso ga Mukama, naye abaweereze Yesu, ye Kristo eyalangirirwa gye muli edda,
that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.
21 eyagwanyizibwa okutwalibwa mu ggulu okutuusa ekiseera nga kituuse ebintu byonna ne bizzibwa obuggya Katonda bye yayogerera edda mu bannabbi be abatukuvu. (aiōn g165)
Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets. (aiōn g165)
22 Weewaawo Musa yagamba nti, ‘Mukama Katonda wammwe alibayimusiza nnabbi ali nga nze, gw’aliggya mu baganda bammwe. Muwulirizanga buli ky’alibagamba.
For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.
23 Ataliwuliriza nnabbi oyo abantu balimuzikiririza ddala.’
Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people.’
24 “Ne bannabbi bonna okuviira ddala ku Samwiri n’abo abaamuddirira bonna abaayogera nabo baalangirira olunaku luno.
Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days.
25 Mmwe bazzukulu ba bannabbi abo, era ab’endagaano Katonda gye yalagaana ne bajjajjammwe ng’agamba Ibulayimu nti, ‘Mu zzadde lyo abantu bonna ab’oku nsi mwe baliweerwa omukisa.’
And you are sons of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers when He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’
26 Bw’atyo Katonda bwe yalondawo okubatumira Omuweereza we abawe omukisa, buli omu ku mmwe ng’akyuka okuva mu bibi bye.”
When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
