Ebikolwa by’Abatume 3
1 Awo Peetero ne Yokaana bwe baali bagenda mu Yeekaalu mu kusaba okw’essaawa omwenda,
Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, at three in the afternoon.
2 ne wabaawo omusajja eyazaalibwa nga mulema gwe baasitulanga ne bateekanga bulijjo ku mulyango gwa Yeekaalu oguyitibwa Omulyango Omulungi, okusabiriza.
A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they put daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.
3 Awo bwe yalaba Peetero ne Yokaana nga bagenda okuyingira mu yeekaalu n’abasaba ensimbi.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.
4 Ne bamwekaliriza amaaso, Peetero n’alyoka amugamba nti, “Tutunuulire!”
Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us."
5 N’abatunuulira ng’asuubira okuweebwayo akantu.
He listened to them, 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 and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, 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,
He took him by the right hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.
8 n’abuuka n’ayimirira n’atandika okutambula! N’ayingira nabo mu Yeekaalu ng’atambula era nga bw’abuuka ng’atendereza Katonda.
Leaping up, he stood, and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 Abantu bonna ne baamulaba ng’atambula, era ng’atendereza Katonda,
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, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. 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.
And as he held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
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?
When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, "You men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him 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, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 naye mmwe ne mwegaana omutuukirivu era omutukuvu, ne musaba babateere omutemu.
But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a man who was a murderer to be granted to you,
15 Bwe mutyo ne mutta aleeta obulamu; oyo ye Katonda yamuzuukiza mu bafu, era ffe bajulirwa.
and killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.
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 his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 “Kale kaakano, abooluganda, mmanyi nga kye mwakola mwakikola mu butamanya, era n’abakulembeze bammwe nabo bwe batyo.
"Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
18 Kyokka Katonda yali atuukiriza ebyo bannabbi bonna bye baayogera nti Kristo we ateekwa okubonaabona mu ngeri eyo.
But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
19 Noolwekyo mwenenye, mukyuke, mulyoke mugibweko ebibi byammwe,
"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,
20 mulyoke muwummulire mu maaso ga Mukama, naye abaweereze Yesu, ye Kristo eyalangirirwa gye muli edda,
and that he may send Jesus, the Christ who was ordained for you before,
21 eyagwanyizibwa okutwalibwa mu ggulu okutuusa ekiseera nga kituuse ebintu byonna ne bizzibwa obuggya Katonda bye yayogerera edda mu bannabbi be abatukuvu. (aiōn g165)
whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of 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 indeed said to the fathers, 'The Lord your God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. You must listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.
23 Ataliwuliriza nnabbi oyo abantu balimuzikiririza ddala.’
It will be, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
24 “Ne bannabbi bonna okuviira ddala ku Samwiri n’abo abaamuddirira bonna abaayogera nabo baalangirira olunaku luno.
Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of 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.’
You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And 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.”
God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your wickedness."
