Acts 11
1 The apostles and brothers in Judea heard that foreigners had also accepted the word of God.
Awo abatume n’abooluganda abaali mu Buyudaaya mwonna ne bawulira nti n’Abamawanga bakkiriza ekigambo kya Katonda.
2 When Peter arrived back in Jerusalem, those who believed circumcision was still essential argued with him.
Naye Peetero bwe yakomawo mu Yerusaalemi, abakomole ne bamunenya,
3 “You went into the homes of uncircumcised men, and ate with them,” they said.
nga bagamba nti, “Lwaki wakyalira Abaamawanga abatali bakomole n’oyingira ne mu nnyumba n’olya nabo?”
4 Peter began to explain to them everything that had happened.
Awo Peetero n’abannyonnyola byonna ng’agamba
5 “While I was in the town of Joppa I was praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. Something that looked like a large sheet was being let down by its four corners from heaven, and it came down to me.
nti, “Bwe nnali nsaba, nga ndi mu kibuga kya Yopa, ne njolesebwa. Essuuka ennene ennyo ng’ewaniriddwa ku nsonda zaayo ennya, n’essibwa mu maaso gange ng’eva mu ggulu.
6 When I looked inside I saw animals, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds.
Mu ssuuka eyo ne ndabamu ebisolo byonna eby’oku nsi ebirina amagulu ana, n’ebyewalula, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga.
7 Then I heard a voice that told me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’
Ne mpulira eddoboozi nga liŋŋamba nti, ‘Peetero, situka osale, olye.’
8 But I replied, ‘Absolutely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth!’
“Nze ne nziramu nti, ‘Nedda, Mukama wange, kubanga siryanga ku kintu kya muzizo oba ekitali kirongoofu.’
9 The voice from heaven spoke again, and said, ‘Don't you call unclean what God has made clean!’
“Naye eddoboozi ne liddamu nga liŋŋamba nti, ‘Ekyo Katonda ky’amaze okulongoosa tokiyitanga ekitali kirongoofu.’
10 This happened three times, and then it was all taken back into heaven.
Ne kiba bwe kityo emirundi esatu. Oluvannyuma essuuka n’ezzibwayo mu ggulu ne byonna ebyagirimu.
11 At that very moment three men were standing in front of the house where we were staying. They had been sent from Caesarea to see me.
“Amangwago laba abasajja basatu abaatumibwa okuva e Kayisaliya ne batuuka ku nnyumba we nnali nsula!
12 The Spirit told me to go with them, and not to worry about who they were. These six brothers here also went with me, and we went into the man's house.
Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’aŋŋamba ŋŋende nabo, awatali kulwa, n’abooluganda bano omukaaga ne bamperekerako, ne tutuuka mu maka g’omusajja eyali antumidde ababaka abo.
13 He explained to us how an angel had appeared to him in his house, who told him, ‘Send someone to Joppa, and fetch Simon, also called Peter,
N’atutegeeza nga malayika bwe yamulabikira mu nnyumba ye, n’amugamba nti, ‘Tuma ababaka e Yopa banoonye Simooni ayitibwa Peetero,
14 who will tell you what you need to hear so you can be saved—you and your whole household.’
ajje akutegeeze ggwe n’ab’omu nnyumba yo nga bwe muyinza okulokolebwa!’
15 When I started speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as happened to us in the beginning.
“Awo bwe nnali nga nakatandika okubabuulira Enjiri, Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’abakkako nga naffe bwe yatukkako ku kusookera ddala!
16 Then I remembered what the Lord said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
Awo ne nzijukira ebigambo bya Mukama waffe bwe yagamba nti, ‘Yokaana yabatiza na mazzi, naye mmwe mulibatizibwa na Mwoyo Mutukuvu.’
17 Since God gave them the same gift as he gave us when we trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ, what power did I have to oppose God?”
Olw’okubanga Katonda ye yawa Abaamawanga bano ekirabo kye kimu, naffe kye yatuwa bwe twakkiriza Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, nange nze ani eyandiwakanyizza Katonda?”
18 After they had heard this explanation, they didn't argue with him anymore, and praised God, saying, “Now God has granted the opportunity to repent and have eternal life to foreigners as well.”
Bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo ne basirika, ne bagulumiza Katonda! Ne bagamba nti, “Ddala, n’Abamawanga Katonda abawadde omukisa okwenenya bakyuke badde gy’ali abawe obulamu obutaggwaawo.”
19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that happened when Stephen was killed, traveled all the way to Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch. They only spread the good news among the Jews.
Awo abo abakkiriza abadduka okuva mu Yerusaalemi mu kuyigganyizibwa okwaddirira okuttibwa kwa Suteefano, ne basaasaana ne batuuka ne mu bifo nga Foyiniiki, ne Kupulo, ne Antiyokiya, ne babunya Enjiri, naye nga babuulira Bayudaaya bokka.
20 But when some of them who were from Cyprus and Cyrene arrived in Antioch, they shared the good news with the Greeks too, telling them about the Lord Jesus.
Naye, abamu ku bakkiriza abaagenda mu Antiyokiya nga bava e Kupulo n’e Kuleene ne babuulira Abayonaani ku Mukama waffe Yesu.
21 The power of the Lord was with them and a large number trusted in the Lord and turned to him.
Awo omukono gwa Mukama ne gubeera wamu nabo, Abaamawanga bangi ne bakkiriza ne bakyuka okudda eri Mukama.
22 News about what had happened reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
Awo ab’omu Kkanisa y’omu Yerusaalemi bwe baawulira ebyo, ne batuma Balunabba mu Antiyokiya ayambe abakkiriza.
23 When he arrived and saw for himself how God's grace was working, he was delighted. He encouraged all of them to completely dedicate themselves to God and to stay true.
Bwe yatuuka n’alaba eby’ekitalo Katonda bye yali akola mu bantu, n’ajjula essanyu, n’akubiriza abakkiriza banywerere ku Mukama n’emitima gyabwe gyonna.
24 Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit, and put his whole trust in God. Many people were brought to the Lord.
Balunabba yali muntu wa kisa ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’okukkiriza, abantu bangi ne basenga Mukama.
25 Then Barnabas went on to Tarsus to look for Saul,
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Balunabba n’alaga e Taluso okunoonya Sawulo,
26 and when he found him, he took Saul back with him to Antioch. Over the course of the next year they worked together with the church, teaching the message to crowds of people. It was in Antioch that the believers were first called “Christians.”
bwe yamulaba n’amuleeta mu Antiyokiya. Bombi ne babeera mu Antiyokiya okumala omwaka mulamba nga bakolera wamu n’Ekkanisa yaayo, ne bayigiriza abantu bangi nnyo. Wano mu Antiyokiya abayigirizwa we baasookera okuyitibwa Abakristaayo.
27 It was during this time that some prophets went from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo bannabbi abaaserengeta mu Antiyokiya nga bava mu Yerusaalemi.
28 One of them called Agabus stood up and gave a prophetic warning by the Spirit that there would be a terrible famine that would affect the known world. (This came true in the reign of Emperor Claudius.)
Omu ku bo erinnya lye Agabo n’asituka ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’ategeeza ng’enjala ey’amaanyi bw’ejja okugwa mu nsi zonna wonna mu bufuzi bwa Kulawudiyo.
29 The believers decided to send funds to help the brothers that lived in Judea, with everyone giving according to what they had.
Awo abayigirizwa ne bamalirira okuweereza obuyambi eri abooluganda abaali mu Buyudaaya, buli muntu nga yeesonda nga bwe yasobola,
30 So they did this and sent the money with Barnabas and Saul to the church leaders there.
ne batuma Balunabba ne Sawulo batwalire abakadde.
