Leno isikhu inchi, eidadi ya vasiole vikhongesekha, elilalamekho lya Vayakhudi na Kiyunani vakhategwile ipakha Avaeblania, ulyakhova ugovo vavene vale kosamiwe vovigava ugovo gwa khya kholya.
2 Awo ekkumi n’ababiri ne bakuŋŋaanya ekibiina ky’abayigirizwa, ne babagamba nti, “Kirungi ebiseera byaffe tubimalire ku kubuulira Njiri, so si mu kugabanya mmere.
Avasukhya kumi na mbili vakhavelanga khulikusanyekho lyoni lya vasiule nukhunchova, “Sio ulyeli khulyofye ukhulelekha ilimenyu lya Ngolove ukhudumela emesa.
3 Noolwekyo, abooluganda, mwerondemu abasajja musanvu, abasiimibwa abantu, ng’abantu b’amagezi, era abajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu, tubakwase omulimu ogwo.
Po, valokolo, nchagula, avagosi saba, ukhuhuma khulyumwe, avana avanonu, avadegile, enumbula nekhekima vavatuwesya ukhuvalekhela embombo eye.
4 Ffe tulyoke twemalire ku kusaba, n’okubuulira n’okuyigiriza.”
Nayofye, tukhendelelaga dama ukhudova nakhombombo ya limwenyu.”
5 Ebigambo ebyo byonna abaakuŋŋaana ne babisiima. Ne balonda Suteefano, omusajja eyali ajjudde okukkiriza ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu, ne Firipo, ne Pulokolo, ne Nikanoli, ne Timooni, ne Pammena, ne Nikolaawo eyava mu Antiyokiya,
Ekhitabu yavene yekhanogela pakutano guvoni. Apo, vakhanchagola uSitefano, umunu uyudegile ulyedeho nu Mepo Umbalanche, nu Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, na Nikolao, utakatifu ukhuhuma kho Antiokia.
6 ne babanjula eri abatume. Abatume ne babasabira, ne babasaako emikono.
Avaumini vakhava twala avanu ava khuvolongolo khuvasukhya, vakhodova pongela vakhavavekhela amavokho gavo.
7 Awo ekigambo kya Katonda ne kyeyongera okubuna n’omuwendo gw’abayigirizwa ne gweyongera obunene mu Yerusaalemi; era ne bakabona, ekibiina kinene, ne beewaayo okukkiriza.
Ewo, elimenyu lya Ngolove lekheneile; eidadi ya vasiole yekhongesekha ukhya khu Yelusalemu; eidadi embakha ya vatekheji vakha yedekhe eimani.
8 Suteefano, ng’ajjudde ekisa kya Katonda n’amaanyi, n’akolanga ebyamagero bingi n’obubonero mu bantu.
No Sitefano, uyadegile ulyedekho ni ngofu, alenkovomba amaajabu ne ishara imbakha khuvanu.
9 Naye abamu ku b’omu kuŋŋaaniro abeeyitanga Abalibettino, n’Abakuleene n’Abalegezanderiya, n’Abakirukiya n’Abasiya, ne bawakana ne Suteefano.
Po apo lekhinokha avanu avange avafuasi va sinagogi likhyelangiwa Sinagogi lya Mahuru, elya Wakirene nelya Waeskandelaa, na vange ukhuhuma khu Kilikia na khu Asia. Avanu ava valen'kovonchana nu Sitefano.
10 Kyokka tebaasobola kuwakanya magezi n’Omwoyo bye yayogeza.
Po, savakhawesye ukhusinda nekhekima yo Mepo yeyo akhalenayo uSitefano ayekohumela ukhunchova.
11 Kyebaava baweerera abantu nga bagamba nti twamuwulira ng’ayogera ebigambo ebivvoola Musa ne Katonda.
Po vakhasonga avange avanu khu vutitu ukhuta “Tupolikhe uSitefano inchova amamenyu gakufulu zaidi ya Musa na zaidi ya Ngolove.”
12 Abantu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne banyiiga nnyo. Ne bakwata Suteefano ne bamuleeta mu Lukiiko Olukulu.
Vakhavatesya avanu, avasekhe, navasimbi, nukhundutela uSitefano, vakhamwibata, nukhutwala khuvulongolo khulibalasa.
13 Abajulizi ab’obulimba ne boogera nti, “Omuntu ono buli kiseera avvoola ekifo kino ekitukuvu n’amateeka.
vakhavaleta avasakhidi va vodesi, vavovakhanchovile, “umunu uya sibekhela ukhunchova amamenyu amavivi zaidi ya lieneo ele elitakatifu lya lulagelo.
14 Era twamuwulira ng’agamba nti Yesu ono Omunnazaaleesi agenda kuzikiriza ekifo kino n’obulombolombo bwonna Musa bwe yatulekera abukyuse.”
Mbona tupolikhe voichova ukhuta uYeesu va Nazaleti ikhopananga aponu apa nukhubadelesya(mila) destuli inchatupile uMusa.”
15 Ab’Olukiiko bwe baamwekaliriza amaaso, ne balaba amaaso ge ng’amasamasa ng’aga malayika!
Khila yomo uyakhale ndibalasa, vakhalola amikha gavo khya Sitefano, navope vakhavovona khumikho khya mwene vuvile kama vouso wa sukhwa(malaika).
