OTemuseewo yeeyunga oku Pawulo nʼoSiira

1Awo oPawulo nʼabainaye ni batuuka omu kibuga kyʼe Derubbe, era ni beeyongerayo e Lisitula. Omu Lisitula mwabbairemu omusengereri wa Yesu eriinalye bati Temuseewo. Omaaye wa Temuseewo oyo yabbaire Namuyudaaya era omwikirirya wa Kurisito, neye oiteeye iye nga Muyonaani. 2Aboluganda abʼomu Lisitula nʼomwIkoniya bonabona babbaire ngʼebibatumula oku oTemuseewo oyo bisa byereere. 3Kale oPawulo nʼakoba oTemuseewo ati ayabe naye omu lugendolwe. Nʼolwekyo, engeri oTemuseewo egiyabbaire timukomole, oPawulo nʼamukomola demba aBayudaaya abʼomu kitundu ekyo ni bagaana okubawuliriramu olwʼokubba bonabona babbaire bakimaite ngʼoiteeye wa Temuseewo oweyabbaire Muyonaani. 4Baabanga babitabita omu bibuga, nga webakalaatira abaikirirya okukwata ebyo abatume nʼabakaire bʼekanisa yʼomu Yerusaalemi ebibabbaire basalirewo bati abaikirirya baabirengeku. 5Nʼomu ngeri eyo, abʼomu makanisa ni bakalangukira omu kwikirirya, era ababeeyungangaku ni beeyongerangaku obungi nabuli olwacanga.

OPawulo asuna okwolesebwa

6Awo oPawulo nʼabainaye, ngʼoMwoyo oMutukulye tabaganyire okulaabba ekibono kya Kibbumba omwitwale lyʼAsiya, ni babitabita omu kitundu ekitwaliryamu e Furigiya nʼe Galatiya okumalaku. 7Owebatuuka oku nsalo wʼeisaza lyʼe Maisiya eriri oku nsalo lyʼeitwale lyʼe Bbisiiniya, ni bagezyaku bati baingire omu Bbisiiniya, neye oMwoyo wa Yesu nʼatabaganya okukingiramu. 8Nʼolwekyo ni baira basalaagalirya mu Maisiya, ni baserengeta oku mwalo e Tulowaasi. 9Omu kiire, oPawulo nʼasuna okwolesebwa. Oomwo oPawulo nʼabona omusaiza azwera e Makedooniya ngʼayemereire amwegairira ati, “Neso owoizaku e Makedooniya nʼotubbeera.” 10OPawulo oweyasagamukire okuzwa omu kubona okwo nʼatukobera, titwasibiremu. Amangu ago ni twetegeka okwaba e Makedooniya olwʼokubba twabbaire tumalire okukitegeera tuti oKibbumba atulagiire twabe tulaabbe eeri abaayo aMawuliro aMasa.

OLidiya acuuka okwira eeri oMusengwa

11Okuzwa e Tulowaasi, twakwaite lyato ni tuseyeeya buterembereri paka ku kizinga e Samosireesi ni tugona awo. Kaisi olunaku olwairireku ni tutuuka omu kibuga e Neyapooli. 12Okuzwa awo, twabitiire kwitakali paka Firipi, ekibuga ekikulu omu kitundu kyʼe Makedooniya, era eitwale lyʼaBalooma. Awo ni tumalawo enaku egyeraku.

13Oku Saabbaato, ni tuwulukaku omu kibuga, ni twaba oku mbale mbale kwʼomwiga egitwabbaire tusuubira okwaja ekifo abantu egibakumbaanira okusaba oKibbumba. Owetwatuukireyo, ni tutyama ni tutandiika okulonsyamu nʼabakali ababbaire bakumbaaniire awo okusinza. 14Omoiza kwabo ababbaire batuwulisisya yabbaire niiye oLidiya, omusuubuuzi wʼengoye egyʼebbeeyi entukuliikiriri. Yabbaire azwera mu kibuga kyʼe Siyatira, era nga mukali asinza ino oKibbumba. OMusengwa nʼawooyawooya ebiseego bya mukali oyo, nʼagira nʼateekayo omwoyo eeri ebyo oPawulo ebiyatumwire. 15Awo oluzwanyuma lwʼokumubatiza iye nʼabʼomu kisitokye, nʼatwekungirira tucaaleku e wuwe ati, “Abba nga zena atyanu muntwala ngʼomwikirirya wa Musengwa ogumwekakasa, mwize mucaaleku e wange.” Atyo nʼatwegairira paka owetwaikiriirye.

OPawulo nʼoSiraasi babadyaka omu mabbuusu

16Awo olwatuukire, omulundi ogundi nga twaba omu kifo ekibasinziramu oKibbumba okusaba, ni tusangaana omwala omugalama eyabbaireku omuzimu ogwamulagulisyanga. Omwala oyo ngʼasunisya abasengwabe empiiya nyingi ino okuzwa mwabo abeyalagulangaku. 17Oweyatuboine, nʼatandiika okutusengererya nga waceera ati, “Abantu banu abali okubamanyikisya engeri egimwezya okulokoka baweererya ba Kibbumba aKirira Nakimo.” 18Omwala oyo ekyo ni yeeyongera ngʼakikola okumala enaku egyera. Ekyazwiremu oPawulo ni yeesinya, era nʼacuukira omwala oyo, nʼakoba omuzimu ogwamubbaireku ati, “Omu liina lya Yesu Kurisito nkulagira, omuzweku!” Ananyere awo omuzimu ogwo ni gumuzwaku.

19Abasengwa bʼomwala oyo owebaboine ngʼomuzimu guzwire oku mwala oyo, ni bakitegeera bati osuubi wʼokusuna ebyobusuni okuzwa mwabo omwala oyo abeyalagulangaku awoirewo. Awo ni bakayuka, ni bakwata oPawulo nʼoSiira, ni babakinkinuca paka mu kisaawe kyʼomu kibuga ekyo abʼembuga egibatyamanga okuwozesya emisango. 20Owebabatuuca, ni babeemererya omumaiso gʼabalamuzi, ni babawaabira bati, “Abantu abo Bayudaaya, neye bali kutabulatabula ekibuga kyaiswe. 21Bali kwegesya empisa amateeka agaiswe aBalooma egigatatwikirirya okukwata ooba okwabiraku.”

22Awo ekiziima kyʼabantu ababbaire bayoolookere okwiza egibali bona ni beeyunga kwabo ababbaire bakubba oPawulo nʼoSiira. Abalamuzi ni balagira abaisirikale batoolemu oPawulo nʼoSiira ebizwalo byabwe kaisi babakubbe emiigo. 23Owebamalire okubafaamuula bundi ino, ni babadyaka omu mabbuusu, era ni balagira omukuumi wʼamabbuusu ababbeeku butiribiri. 24Yena oweyawuliire ebiragiro ebyo, nʼabaingirirya nakimo mu kadukulu kadi akʼomunda nakimo, nʼebigere byabwe nʼabitibika omu gabaabo agazito agebayeesere ooti kijooko kaisi tibasodoka.

25Obwire obwo ooti-so mu kiire aakati, oPawulo nʼoSiira babbaire mu kusaba nʼokwemba enyembo egiwuuja oKibbumba, abasibe abanaabwe abandi ibo nga webabawulisisya. 26Omu kibbwatukira awo, ni wagwawo omusisi owʼamaani nakimo eyatengeeterye paka misingi gyʼamabbuusu. Nʼekyazwiremu enjigi gyʼamabbuusu gyonagyona ni gyeigula, nʼenjegere egibabbaire basibisirye abasibe ni gitibuka. 27Omukuumi wʼamabbuusu okwaba okusisimuka, yaabire okubona ngʼenjigi gyʼamabbuusu nga njigule. Awo nʼasowolayo empiimaye ati yeite, olwo ngʼaseega ati abasibe basodokere. 28Neye oPawulo nʼamwaminkirira ati, “Oleke tiweekola akabbikabbi! Swenaswena ngonu tulimu.”

29Awo omukuumi wʼamabbuusu nʼatumisya eitaala, nʼayalamuka okwingira oPawulo nʼoSiira omu babbaire, nʼakoma amazwi abigere byabwe nga waadegeizera. 30Awo nʼawuluca oPawulo nʼoSiira e nza, nʼababuulya ati, “Basebo, niki ekinteekwa okukola zena okulokoka?”

31Ibo ni bamukoba bati, “Oikiririrye mu Musengwa oYesu, yakulokola, era nʼabʼomu kisitokyo bona owebamwikiririryamu, yabalokola.” 32Batyo ni batandiika okulaabba obukwenda obukwata oku Musengwa eeri iye aamo nʼabʼomu kisitokye bonabona. 33Omu kiire ekinyere ekyo, omukuumi wʼamabbuusu oyo nʼabawulucaamu, nʼabatwala awantu nʼabamiga ebiso byʼamakubbe. Oweyabbaire yankumala ekyo, bona ni bamubatiza iye aamo nʼabʼomu kisitokye bonabona. 34Awo nʼatwala oPawulo nʼoSiira paka mu kisito e wuwe nʼabainula ebyokulya nga musangaali ino, iye aamo nʼabʼomu kisitokye bonabona, olwʼokubba yabbaire aikiririirye omu Kibbumba.

35Owekwaceire, abalamuzi ni basindika abaisirikale baabwe eeri omukuumi wʼamabbuusu nʼekiragiro ati, “Oteere abasaiza abo.” 36Awo omukuumi wʼamabbuusu nʼakoba oPawulo ati, “Nambu abalamuzi balagiire bati inywe mbateere. Aaso muwuluke mweyabire mwidembe.”

37Neye oPawulo nʼakoba abaisirikale ati, “Batukubbire mulwatu amantasooka kutuwozesya neenu tuli nʼobutyami mu Looma, ni batudyaka nʼomu mabbuusu. Kaisi atyanu ekibaliku bati batwetooleku kimigi! Ekyo bbe. Ibo abanyere niibo ababba baize aanu era batwerekere okutuwuluca munu.”

38Abaisirikale ni bairayo era ni batuuca ebibono ebyo egiri abalamuzi. Abalamuzi owebawuliire bati kaisi oPawulo nʼoSiira bali nʼobutyami ngʼaBalooma, ni batya. 39Nʼolwekyo, ni baiza ni beenenya egiri oPawulo nʼoSiira, era ni babeereka okubawuluca e nza wʼamabbuusu, ni babeegairira bazwe omu kibuga ekyo. 40Awo oPawulo nʼoSiira obwawulukire omu mabbuusu, baabire mu kisito kya Lidiya, egibaajiirye aboluganda abandi, ni babairyamu amaani. Kale awo ni bazwa omu kibuga e Firipi.
