1 Awo Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’abuuza Suteefano nti, “Ebyo bwe biri bwe bityo?”
Untekesi umbaha akajova, “sinomuvomba isi sakyang'ani?” U Stefano akajova, vanyalukoo numue va Nata vango, mumulikisighe uneune:
2 Suteefano n’addamu nti, “Baganda bange ne bakadde bange, mumpulirize! Katonda ow’ekitiibwa yalabikira jjajjaffe Ibulayimu ng’akyali mu Mesopotamiya, nga tannaba kulaga mu Kalani.
U NguluveNguluve uwalwimiko aliya muhumile uNata ghwitu Abrahamu unsinki ghuno alyiale ku Mesopotamia, ye naikalile ku Harani,'
3 N’amugamba nti, ‘Vva mu nsi yannyo ne mu bantu bo, ogende mu nsi gye ndikulaga.’
akambula, vukugha mu iisi Jakob navanyalukolo vako ulutaghe mu iisi jino kumwa nikukusona'.
4 “Bw’atyo n’ava mu nsi y’Abakuludaaya n’abeera mu Kalani, okutuusa kitaawe bwe yafa. Awo Katonda n’amuleeta wano mu nsi eno mwe tuli kaakano.
Pe akabuka mu iisi ija Ukaldayo akikala ku Harani, kuhuma apuo ye afyuila u Nata ghwa muenhe, uNguluve akamuleta mu iisi iji, jino vikukala lino.
5 Naye n’atamuwaako ttaka lirye newaakubadde awalinnyibwa ekigere. Kyokka n’asuubiza okugimuwa okugirya, ye n’ezzadde lye oluvannyuma lwe, newaakubadde nga mu kiseera ekyo lbulayimu teyalina mwana!
Nalyampelile name kimonga ikya vuhosi vwamwene, napwalia nambe jumonga apa kubiika ulughulu. Loli u Abraham alyafingilue ye akyiale nambe kuhola umuana ulwakuva ipelua iisi jive vutema vwa mwenhe na vanha va muenhe.
6 Katonda n’amugamba nti ezzadde lye, baliba bagenyi mu nsi y’abalala, era balibafuula abaddu, ne babayisa bubi okumala emyaka ebikumi bina.
U Nguluve alyajovile naghuope ndiki, ulwakuti avanha va mwenhe valikala mu iisi ija vuhesia, ulwakuti avanya iisi jila vikuvavikagha kuva vakami vavanave na kuvavomba fivi munsiki ughwa make filundu finhe.
7 Era Katonda n’agamba nti, ‘Ndibonereza eggwanga eryo eriribafuula abaddu, n’oluvannyuma balivaayo ne bansinziza mu kifo kino.’
Naju Nguluve akajova, nilikuvahighagha ikisina kino kivavikile vagalulua, pano sikilile isio apuo pe vilihumagha na pikufunya kuliune mu iisi iji.'
8 Era n’amuwa okukomolebwa ng’akabonero ak’endagaano. Awo lbulayimu n’azaala lsaaka, n’amukomola ng’awezezza ennaku munaana ez’obukulu. Isaaka n’azaala Yakobo, ne Yakobo n’azaala bajjajjaffe ekkumi n’ababiri.
Akam'pela u Abrahamu ulufingo ulwa kukeghetua, apuo u Abrahamu akava vise ghwa Isaka akakegheta ikighono ikya lekela kuoni; U Isaka akava vise ghwa Yakobo, nhu Yakobo akava vise ghwa visukulu vitu kijigho na vavili.
9 “Bajjajja abo ne bakwatirwa Yusufu obuggya, ne bamutunda mu Misiri. Naye Katonda yali naye,
Avisukulu vitu vakam'bonela igila uYusufu vakamughusia mu iisi ija Misiri, na ju Nguluve alyale palikimo nhumwene,
10 n’amuwonya mu kubonaabona kwonna era n’amuwa ekisa n’amagezi mu maaso ga Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri. Falaawo n’amuwa okufuga Misiri yonna era n’amukwasa okulabirira byonna ebifa mu lubiri lwe.
kange akamwavula mu mumuko sa Vene, akmpela ulunyamasio nhu vufwihu pavolongolo pa Farao Ntuwa u ghwa Misiri. U Farao akombuike kuva n'temi mu Misiri na munyumba ijamuene joni.
11 “Awo enjala n’egwa mu Misiri yonna ne mu nsi ya Kanani, n’ereetera bajjajjaffe okubonaabona ennyo kubanga baali tebalina we baggya mmere.
Lol pejiliale injala imbaha kiongo nhi mumuk inyinga mu iisi ja Misiri namu Kanani nava Nhata viitu vakapatile ifyakulia.
12 Yakobo bwe yawulira nga mu Misiri eriyo eŋŋaano n’atumayo bajjajjaffe, omulundi gwabwe ogwasooka.
Loli u Yakobo ye apulike kuti kwekile ikyakulia ku Misiri alyavomuile avaNhata.
13 Ku mulundi ogwokubiri Yusufu ne yeeyanjulira baganda be era n’ayanjulira Falaawo baganda be.
Ye vaghendile uYusufu akihufiagha kuvanyalukolo va mwene, ulukolo ulwa Yusufu lukakagula kwa Farao.
14 Bw’atyo Yusufu n’atumya kitaawe, Yakobo, era n’ab’ennyumba ya kitaawe bonna be bantu nsanvu mu bataano.
U Yusufu akavomola avanyalukolo va mwene kuluta kukum'bula u Yakobo nhu vise ghuvanave ise ku Misir, palikimo navanyalukolo vamwene, palikimo na vanhu voni valyale ifijigho n'dekela lubale navahano.
15 Bw’atyo Yakobo n’ajja e Misiri era n’afiira eyo ne bajjajjaffe.
Loli uYakobo akika kuMisiri pe akafua umwene palikimo nava Nhata viitu.
16 Oluvannyuma baaleetebwa e Sekemu mu ntaana Ibulayimu gye yali aguze omuwendo gw’effeeza, ku batabani ba Kamoli mu Sekemu.
Vakatolua vakaluka ku Shekemu vakasyilula mu mbipa jino uAbrahamu valyaghulile ni ndalama kuhuma kuvanha vaHamari kuula ku Shekemu.
17 “Ekiseera ky’ekisuubizo bwe kyagenda kisembera, Katonda kye yasuubiza Ibulayimu, abantu ne beeyongera ne baala mu Misiri.
Amasiki agha lufingo Lula ghano Unguluve alyafingine nhu Abrahamu ye ghulipipi, avanhu pano vakava vongelile ku Misri.
18 Awo kabaka omulala eyali tamanyi Yusufu n’atandika okufuga Misiri.
Unsiki ughuo alyatemile ujunge uNtuwa Misri, uNtuwa Juno alyankaguile u Yusufu.
19 Kabaka oyo n’asalira eggwanga lyaffe amagezi, n’abonyaabonya bajjajjaffe, ng’abasuuza abaana baabwe abawere baleme okuba abalamu.
u Ntua ujunge ujuo akavadengania avanhu vitu name vavombi ava Nhata vitu, no kuvatagha avana vavanave avafyiele kuti valeke kukukala.
20 “Mu biseera ebyo ne Musa n’azaalibwa, n’ayagalwa nnyo Katonda. Bakadde be ne bamulabirira mu nnyumba yaabwe okumala emyezi esatu.
Unsiki ghulaghula uMusa akaholuagha; alyilealyile nofu pavulongolo pa Nguluve, akalelua mesi ghatatu munyumba ija vise.
21 Bwe yalekebwa mu mugga, muwala wa Falaawo n’amulonda n’amutwala n’amulera nga mutabani we.
Unsiki ghuno alyataghilue, umwalive Farao alyatolilue akamulela huene mwanake.
22 Musa n’ayigirizibwa mu magezi gonna ag’Abamisiri, n’akula nga w’amaanyi mu bigambo ne mu bikolwa.
U Musa alyavulanisivue imanyilo soni isa Misri; alyale nikufu kumasio na kumbombele.
23 “Awo Musa bwe yali awezezza emyaka amakumi ana, n’asalawo mu mutima gwe okukyalirako baganda be, abaana ba Isirayiri.
Loli yekwaline amaka fijigho fine' lukamwisila munumbula jamwene kuvaghendela vanyalukolo vake, Alana ava Israeli.
24 N’alaba Omuyisirayiri ng’anyigirizibwa, n’amutaasa, n’atta Omumisiri ng’awoolera eggwanga olw’oyo eyali anyigirizibwa.
Ye amwaghile umu Israeli ivombelua fiivi, uMusauMusa akan'tanga name kuvangulila akalumbila kwa juno alyam'bonile akantova umMisiri.
25 Musa n’alowooza nti baganda be banaategeera nga Katonda amutumye okubalokola, naye ne batakitegeera.
Akisaghilagha kuti vanyalukolo va mwene vikagula kuti u Nguluve ikuvavula mu luvoko ulwa mwene, loli navalyalumanyile.
26 Olunaku olwaddirira n’alaba abalwana. N’agezaako okubatabaganya ng’abagamba nti, ‘Abasajja lwaki mulwana nga muli baaluganda?’
Ikighono kino kikafingile akaluta kuvamo va Israeli valyale vilua, akaghela kuvasambania; akatisagha, mwevatua, umue mulilukolo; kiiki mupungana jumuejumue kwa jumue?
27 “Naye oli eyali ayiikiriza munne n’asindika eri Musa ng’agamba nti, ‘Ani eyakufuula omufuzi waffe era omulamuzi waffe?
Loli juno alyamokiile um'bading'ani ghwa mwene akavadighulilagha kuvutali, na akajova, 'Ghweveni juno akuvikile piva ntemi kange piva meghi ghwitu?
28 Oyagala kunzita nga bwe watta Omumisiri jjo?’
Uve ghuloda pikum'buda, ndavule WA mbuda umuMisri Pammie?”
29 Musa bwe yawulira ebyo, n’adduka n’agenda abeera mugenyi mu nsi ya Midiyaani, era eyo n’azaalirayo abaana aboobulenzi babiri.
U Musa akakimbila ye asipulike isio; akava mesia mu iisi ja Midiani, apuo pe akava vise ghwa vanha vavili.
30 “Awo nga wayiseewo emyaka amakumi ana, Musa bwe yali ng’ali mu ddungu ly’olusozi Sinaayi, malayika n’amulabikira mu muliro ogwaka, wakati mu kisaka.
Ye ghakilile amaka ifijigho fine, unyamola akamuumila mulukuve lwa kidunda ikya Sinai, mululapi ulwa mwoto munkate mukianji.
31 Musa bwe yakiraba ne yeewuunya. N’agenda ng’asemberera ekisaka yeetegereze, eddoboozi lya Mukama ne limugamba nti,
Unsiki ghuno u Musa alyaghuvuene umuoto, alyadeghagha na pikudegha kiongo kind alyakivuene, panopano akaghelagha kuti akiveleleele ulwakuti akilole, ilisio lya Mutwa likamwisila likati,
32 ‘Nze Katonda wa bajjajja bo, Katonda wa Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo.’ Musa n’akankana, era n’atasobola na kwongera kutunulayo.
'Une nili Nguluve wava NhataNhata vako, Nguluve ughwa Abrahamu, nhu Isaka, nhu Yakobo; uMusa alyatetime nakaghela nambe kulola.
33 “Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, ‘Gyamu engatto zo, kubanga ekifo w’oyimiridde kitukuvu.
U Mutwa akam'bula, full ifilato fyiako, apuo pano ghwimile pimike.
34 Ndabye okubonaabona kw’abantu bange mu Misiri, ne mpulira n’okusinda kwabwe. Kyenvudde nzika okubalokola. Kaakano jjangu, nkutume e Misiri.’
Nisaghile imumuko sa vanhu vango vino vali ku Misri, nipulike kutamua kuvanave, unenikile ulwakuti nivavule; lino isagha, nekwomola uve ku Misri.'
35 “Oyo Musa gwe baagaana nga bagamba nti, ‘Ani eyakufuula omufuzi era omulamuzi waffe?’ Oyo Katonda gwe yatuma ng’ayita mu malayika eyamulabikira mu kisaka eky’omuliro, abeere omufuzi waabwe era omununuzi waabwe.
U Musa uju Juno valya n'kanile, unsiki ghono valyajovile, 'ghweveni juno akakuvombile piva n'temi kange mulamusi ghuitu?' alyale ghwe Nguluve Juno alyamwomwile ave n'temi kange m'poki. U Nguluve alyamwomwile muluvoko lwa vanyamola Juno aliya muhumile uMusa mukihanji.
36 Oyo n’abaggyayo ng’amaze okukola ebyamagero n’ebyewuunyisa, mu nsi y’e Misiri, n’abayisa mu Nnyanja Emyufu, n’abatambuza mu ddungu okumala emyaka amakumi ana.
U Musa alyavalongwisie kuhuma ku Misri ye akiiale kuvomba ifidegho ni kidegho mu Misri name mulusumba ilya Shamu, na mulukuvi mu nsiki ughwa maka fijigho fine.
37 “Oyo ye Musa eyategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Katonda agenda kubayimusiza Nnabbi ng’amuggya mu baganda bammwe nga nze.’
Ghwe Musa uju juno alyavavulile avanhu va mu Israeli kuva, uNguluve ilikumwimia um'bili kuhuma mu lyumue muvanyalukolo vinhu, um'bili ndavule unhe'.
38 Era Musa oyo ye yali ne bajjajjaffe mu ddungu nga bakuŋŋaanye nga malayika ayogera naye ku lusozi Sinaayi, era yaweebwa ebigambo eby’obulamu okubitutuusaako.
Uju ghwe munhu juno alyale mukipugha kya lukuvi nhu nyamola juno alyajovile nhu mwene mukidunda ikya Sinai. Uju ghwe munhu Juno alyale nava Nhata vitu, uju ghwe munhu alyupile ilisio linolilyale nhu vumi na kutupela usue.
39 “Naye bajjajjaffe baagaana okumugondera, ne bamujeemera, era mu mitima gyabwe ne baddayo e Misiri.
Uju ghwe munhu juno ava Nhata vitu valyankanile kukumuleva, valyantaghile kuvutali, na munumbula sivanave sino silyagevukile ku Misri.
40 Ne bagamba Alooni nti, ‘Tukolere bakatonda abanaatukulembera, kubanga ono Musa eyatuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri tetumanyi kyabadde.’
Munsiki ughuo valyam'bulile u Haruni.' ututendele amatekelo ghano ghikutu longosia. U Must ujuo, juno alyale ikutulongosia kuhuma mu iisi ja muMisri, natukagula kinokimwaghile.'
41 Mu nnaku ezo, ne beekolera ennyana, ne bawaayo ssaddaaka eri ekifaananyi, ne basanyukira ekyo kye beekoledde n’emikono gyabwe.
ApuoApuo pevakatenda indama kufighono ifio pe vakahumiagha ilitekelo kukihwani ikio pe vakahovokagha ulwakuva vavombile imbombo sa mavoko gha vanave.
42 Awo Katonda n’abavaako, n’abawaayo okusinzanga eggye ery’omu ggulu, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bannabbi nti, “‘Mwandeeteranga ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo mu ddungu emyaka gyonna amakumi ana, ggw’ennyumba ya Isirayiri?
Loli uNguluve alyavahambusie na pikuvapela vino vikufunya kunondue isakukyanya, ndavule lilyalembilue mikitabu kya vaviili, 'vuli munyumikisie une amatekelo agha fidimuafidimua finofino mulyabudile ku lukuve ku nsiiki ughwa maka fijigho fine, munyumba ja Israeli?

Mwitike ihema ijakukong'ania ija Moleki ni nondue ija Nguluve u refani, nakikihuani kino mukatendile na pikufunya kuveene: pe nikavatwalagha kuvutali kukila kubabeli.'
44 “Bajjajjaffe baatambula mu ddungu nga beetisse Eweema ey’Endagaano, eyakolebwa nga Katonda bwe yalagirira Musa ng’efaanana nga bwe yagimulaga.
Ava Nhata vitu valyale nihema ija kukong'anile ija vwolesi kulukuve, ndavule u Nguluve alyavalaghile pano alyajovile nhu Musa, kuuti ngale alyatendile mu kihwani kino alyakyaghile.
45 Bajjajjaffe bajja bagisituzza abaana baabwe, okutuusa Yoswa lwe yajja nayo okulya ensi y’abamawanga Katonda be yagobanga mu maaso ga bajjajjaffe. Eweema n’ebeerawo okutuusa ku mirembe gya Dawudi.
Iji je hema jino avaNhata viitu, munsiki ghwave, valyatwalile mu iisi nhu Joshua. Isi silyahumile amasiki ghanovalingile kutema ikisiina kino uNguluve alyavadughile ava nhata viitu yevakyale kuviikua. uluo lulyale ndiki m'paka kufikila mufighono fya Daudi,
46 Dawudi n’asiimibwa Katonda, era n’asaba azimbire Katonda wa Yakobo ennyumba.
juno alitikisivue nhunhu Nguluve pa Mason ghake, pe akasuma kulonda uvukalo Kwan Nguluve ughwa Yakobo.
47 Naye Sulemaani ye yagizimba.
Loli uSelemani alyanjengile inyumba ja Nguluve.
48 “Naye oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo tabeera mu nnyumba zizimbiddwa bantu. Nga nnabbi bw’agamba nti,
Loli umwene juno alyale kukyanya na ikukala munyumba sino sijengilue na mavoko; ulu lulindavule up'biili alyajovile.
49 “‘Eggulu y’entebe yange ey’obwakabaka. N’ensi ke katebe kwe nteeka ebigere byange. Mukama n’agamba nti, Ononzimbira nnyumba ya ngeri ki? Oba kifo ki mwe ndiwummulira?
Uvulanga kye kitengo kyango ikya vuTua, iisi je jakuvika amaghulu ghango. Jiva nyumba je jilindani mukunjengela?, u Mutwa ijova: nakuva kwekughi kulyune ukwakupumila?
50 Omukono gwange si gwe gwakola ebyo byonna!’
Na lweluvoko lwango lunoluvombile ifi fioni?'
51 “Mmwe abalina ensingo enkakanyavu, abatakomolebwanga mu mutima wadde amatu, muwakanya Mwoyo Mutukuvu bulijjo; era bajjajjammwe nga bwe baali, nammwe bwe mutyo bwe muli.

umuewe vanhu mwevano mukupile indaghilo sila sino silyaghuile nhumunyamola loli namukajikola.”
54 Awo abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo byonna Suteefano bye yayogera, ne bajjula obusungu bungi ne bamulumira obujiji.
Loli avatua va pa vuhighighi ye vapulike amasio agha inhumbula sivsnave silya vavile kyiongo, vaka gwenulila amino u Stefano.
55 Naye Suteefano ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’atunuulira eggulu enkaliriza, n’alaba ekitiibwa kya Katonda, ne Yesu ng’ayimiridde ku mukono gwa Katonda ogwa ddyo.
Loli umwene, ye amalile uMhepo uMwimike, akalola vunono kukyanya akavwagha uvwimike vwa Nguluve,' napikumbona u Yesu imile kuluvoko ulwa kundio ulwa Nguluve.
56 N’abagamba nti, “Laba, ndaba eggulu nga libikkuse, nga n’Omwana w’Omuntu ayimiridde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda.”
U Stefano akajova, “Lolagha nivwaghile uvulanga vudindwike, najumwana wa Adam imile uluvoko lwa kundio ulwa Nguluve.”
57 Ne baleekaanira waggulu nga bazibikidde amatu gaabwe ne bamweyiwako.
Loli avahighi va vahighi vakovela kyongo ni lisio ilikome, vakadinda imbughulutu sivanave, vakankimbiliila palikimo.
58 Ne bamusindiikiriza ebweru w’ekibuga, ne bamukuba amayinja. Abaamukuba ne bassa eminagiro gyabwe ku bigere by’omuvubuka erinnya lye Sawulo.
Vakantagha kunjikunji kulikaja pe vakadijavakadija na mavue: navavolesi va kafula ameanda gha vanave aghakunji nakuvikapasi pipi na maghulu agha nsoleka juno akatambuluagha Sauli.
59 Awo bwe baali bakuba Suteefano amayinja, n’akoowoola Katonda ng’agamba nti, “Mukama wange Yesu, twala omwoyo gwange.”
Pano valyale vikun'tova u Sitefano namavue, pe akaghendelela pikunkemela uMutwa akajova, “Mutwa Yesu, upila inhumbula jango,”.
60 N’agwa wansi ku maviivi n’akaaba mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Mukama wange, tobavunaana olw’ekibi kino.” Bwe yamala okwogera ekyo, n’afa.
Akafughama namafundo akakemela nilisiio ilivaha, “Mutwa nhungavavalililaghe uvuhosi uvu.” Ye ajovile isio akafwisagha.
