Ananiya nʼoSafira
1 Neye lumo, omusaiza omoiza kwibo ogubeeta bati Ananiya, eyabbaire nʼomukali ogubeeta bati Safira, yena nʼatunda ekigona.
2 Empiiya egyazwiremu nʼatoolaku ekitundu nʼakibisa akyesigalirye, era nga nʼomukaliwe akimaiteku. Egyasigairewo nʼagitwala nʼagikwatisya abatume nga waabbeyesya ati egyaleetere niigyo egyo gyonagyona egiyasuniremu.
3 Awo niiye oPeetero okumubuulya ati, “Ananiya, lwaki oikiriirye oSitaani okufuga omwoyogwo, nʼobbeya oMwoyo oMweru nga weebisiraku egimo oku mpiiya egiwasunire omu kutunda ekigona?
4 Mbona owewabbaire ngʼokaali kukitunda kyabbaire kikyo. Tiniikyo? Era, nʼowewamalire okukitunda, empiiya egiwasuniremu gyabbaire mu bwezyebwo okugikolesya omu ngeri yonayona egyotaka. Tiniikyo? Tete niki dala ekyagirire nʼoseega omu mwoyogwo okukola ekintu ekibbikibbi ekyo? Ala tobbeyere bantu-buntu neye obbeyere Kibbumba.”
5 Ananiya oweyawuliire ebyo, nʼagwa eedi nʼafa. Bonabona abawuliire ebibbairewo ensisi nʼebakwata, ni baizula okutya.
6 NgʼAnaniya amalire okufa, ni wabbaawo abanyeete abaizire ni balingira omulambogwe omu masuuka, ni baguwuluca, ni bagutwala, ni baguliika.
7 Nga wabitirewo eibbanga lyʼesaawa ooti isatu, omukaliwe nʼatuuka, nga-so tamaiteku ebigwirewo, nʼaingira oPeetero omu babbaire.
8 Awo oPeetero nʼamubuulya ati, “Onkobere! Kituuce dala empiiya ginu niibwo obungi obumwasunire omu kigona?” OSafira nʼamwiramu ati, “Kituuce niigyo egyo.”
9 OPeetero niiwo okumukoba ati, “Mutyoso wemwaikirizaganyire okukema oMwoyo wa Musengwa? Aale nʼowentumulira aanu, ensindo gyʼabaliikire oibaawo ngijo giri oku mulyango, mbabo baingira. Wena bakutwala.”
10 Amangu ago, oSafira nʼagwa abigere bya Peetero era nʼafa. Abanyeete owebatuukira kaisi baingire, bamwajiirye akalire, ni batwala omulambogwe, ni baguliika okulirana amagombe ga ibaaye.
11 Awo ekanisa yonayona era nʼabantu abandi bonabona ababiwuliireku, ensisi nʼebakwata.
Ebyewunyo nʼebyamagero
12 Abatume ni bakolanga ebyewunyo nʼebyamagero bingi omu bantu. Abaikirirya bonabona, omu bumo, ni bakumbaaniranga buliijo oku luuga lwʼeYeekaalu, omu kisenge ekibeetanga bati pooci ya kabaka oSulemaani.
13 Waire ngʼabantu bonabona babawanga ekitiisya kinene, mpaawo kadi moiza kwabo abatabbaire baikirirya eyagezyangaku okwekolesya ati mwikirirya ayezye okubeerirania ooba okukolagana nabo, olwʼokutya ati demba oKibbumba nʼamubbutula.
14 Neye era, nga buli oluca, abantu bangi ino abasaiza nʼabakali ni baikiririryanga omu Musengwa, obungi bwabo ababeeyungangaku butyo ni bweyongera.
15 Olwʼebintu abatume ebibakolanga, abantu ni baleetanga abantu baabwe abalwaire, ni babateeka oku bitaliri nʼoku mikeeka oku nzira oPeetero egiyabita, kasinga naabba kiriirye-obwiriiryekye kigweku oku bamo abaateezye okukwataku.
16 Era, olwebe lwʼabantu okuzwa omu bubuga obuliraine e Yerusaalemi ni beesombanga nga baleeta egiri abatume abantu baabwe abalwaire nʼabo ababbaireku emizimu egyabagadyanga; bonabona oKibbumba na balamya.
Okuyiigaania abatume kutandiika
17 Okabona akira obukulu nʼabo bonabona abeyakolagananga nabo, ibo bonabona nga babbaire bʼekibbula kyʼaBasedukaayo, owebaboine ebyaba omu maiso, engongi ni gibabitiriraku.
18 Niibo okusetukiramu, ni bakwata abatume, ni babadyaka omu mabbuusu.
19 Neye omu kiire, omalaika oMusengwa oguyatumire nʼaigulawo enjigi gyʼamabbuusu, nʼabawuluca e nza, nʼabakoba ati,
20 “Mwabe, mwemererenge nakimo ku luuga lwʼeYeekaalu, mukoberenge abantu byonabyona ebifa oku bwomi obwo obuyaaka oYesu obwawa abamwikirirya.”
21 Bona okugondera ekibabbaire babakobere, eizo bawiine kibbambya ni baaba oku luuga lwʼeYeekaalu, ni batandiika okwegesya ababbairewo.
Eenu byabbanga bityo, nʼeedi okabona akira obukulu nʼabainaye abeyakolagananga nabo beeta oLukiiko oLufugi lwʼaBayudaaya, oolwo nga niirwo olubbaamu abantu abakira obukulu omwigwanga lya Isirairi lyonalyona. AbʼoLukiiko owebakumbaine, ni batumisya omu mabbuusu okuleeta abatume.
22 Neye okwaba okutuuka omu mabbuusu, abebatumire nandi ni baajiryamu abatume. Niiwo okwirayo eeri abʼoLukiiko ni babakobera bati,
23 “Owetutuukiire twajiirye enjigi gyʼamabbuusu nfunge nakusani, era nga nʼabakuumi beemereire aawo; neye owetwigwirewo, titwajiiryemu kadi moiza oku batume!”
24 Akulira abakuumi bʼeYeekaalu nʼabakabona abakulu owebawuliire ebyo, ni bibasobera, era ni beeraliikirira ikyo ekyezya okubazweramu.
25 Omu kaseera ako ni wabbaawo omuntu eyaizire ngʼazwa oku Yeekaalu nʼabakoba ati, “Muwulisisye kinu! Abasaiza abemwaigaliire omu mabbuusu, owentumulira aanu, mbadi ku luuga lwʼeYeekaalu beegesya bantu ebifa oku Yesu.”
26 Akulira abakuumi bʼeYeekaalu oweyawuliire ekyo, nʼayaba nʼabaisulukalebe, ni baleeta abatume mwiwooyo amantabakolaku obukambwe, olwakubba batiire bati bona demba abantu ni babakubba amabbaale singa kabatanda ni babitya bundi abatume.
27 Owebaleetere abatume, ni babeemererya omu maiso gʼabʼoLukiiko oLufugi olwʼaBayudaaya, okabona akira obukulu abawozesye.
28 Okabona akira obukulu nʼabakoba ati, “Twabalagiire okutairayo okwegesyanga abantu omu liina lya musaiza oyo oYesu, neye atyanu obone ekimukolere! Musalaanirye oYerusaalemi yenayena nʼenjegesya yaanywe. Era timukomere ku kiikyo kyonkani, mumaliriire nʼokututeekesyaku omusango muti eisaaye lya musaiza oyo liri mu ngalo gyaiswe.”
29 Awo oPeetero aamo nʼabatume abandi, ni bairamu bati, “Tusaaniire kukola kiikyo oKibbumba ekyatukoba okukola neye tikiikyo abantu ekibatukoba.
30 Inywe mwaitire oYesu nga mumukomerera oku musalabba, neye oKibbumba, abazeiza baiswe abʼeira ogubasinzanga nʼamuzuukiza.
31 Era, oyo niiye oKibbumba oguyaniinirye, nʼamuwa okutyama omu kifo ekyʼekitiisya ngʼamuliraine oku ngalo endiiro, nʼasuuka niiye omufugi era oMulokoli kaisi aBaisirairi basune akakisa okwenenya, era oKibbumba ayezye okubasoniya ebibbibibbi.
32 Iswe tumanyikisya bintu ebyo ebitukakasa tuti byabbairewo oku Yesu, era nʼoMwoyo oMweru, oKibbumba ogwawaire abo abamugondera, yena abikakasa.”
33 AbʼoLukiiko owebawuliire ebibono ebyo, obusungu ni bubakwata, ni bataka baite abatume.
34 Neye omoiza kwibo, eriinalye bati Gamalyeri eyabbaire oMufalisaayo, omukugu omu byʼaMateeka ga Musa era nga musaiza wʼekitiisya ino omu bantu bonabona, nʼasetuka nʼalagira bawulucekuumu abatume omu Lukiiko nago okumala akaseera.
35 Owebamalire okubawuluca, oGamalyeri nʼakoba abainaye ati, “Baisirairi abainange, mwegendereze ekimutaka okukola abantu banu.
36 Enyumaku awo, omusaiza ogubeeta oTawoda yazwireyo ni yeekubbembera akeediimo okwifuge lyʼaBalooma nga yeetuubba ati muntu mukulu ino, era abasaiza abeera ooti 400 ni bamusengererya. Neye owebamwitire, abasengereribe basalaanikire, ekibbulakye ni kiwaamu amaani ni kifaawo.
37 Oluzwanyuma lwʼokuzwawo kwʼoyo, omu biseera egavumenti ebiyabaliiremu abantu, ni wazwayo oYuda owʼe Galiraaya, ni yeekubbembera ekibbula kyʼabantu abeyalalikire ni beediima okwifuge lyʼaBalooma. Oyo yena bamwitire, era nʼababbaire bamusengererya bonabona ni basalaanika.
38 “Nʼolwekyo, oku nsonga eenu atyanu egituliku, amalabuki agembawa niigo ganu: Muzwe oku bantu banu, mubaleke beetaaye, olwakubba abba ngʼekigendererwa kyabwe nʼebyo ebibakola biseego byʼabantu-buntu, biiza kufafaagana biweewo ngʼebya badi abasookere.
39 Neye owekibba kiti Kibbumba niiye abirungamya, nʼowemwakola mutya timwezye okubijigirica. Aate mugenderere ino, demba mweyaja nga mulwanisya Kibbumba!”
AbʼoLukiiko owebawuliire entumula ya Gamalyeri, ni babona amakulu omu biyatumwire, ni baabira oku malabukige.
40 Awo ni beeta abatume, ni balagira babakubbe efaalu, era ni babalagira nʼokutairamu okutumulanga omu liina lya Yesu, batyo ni babateera.
41 Ibo abatume ni bawuluka okuzwa omu maiso gʼabʼoLukiiko nago nga basangaali ino olwakubba babbaire basunireku akakisa, era ngʼatyanu batuukana okubabalira mwabo abebagadya olwʼokwikiririrya omu Yesu.
42 Era buli lunaku, omu Yeekaalu nʼomu bisito, ni batagoneryanga okulaabba aMawuliro aMasa eeri abantu bati oYesu niiye oKurisito ogubasukireku amafuta.
