Acts 11
1 Nowe the Apostles and the brethren that were in Iudea, heard, that the Gentiles had also receiued the worde of God.
Awo abatume n’abooluganda abaali mu Buyudaaya mwonna ne bawulira nti n’Abamawanga bakkiriza ekigambo kya Katonda.
2 And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,
Naye Peetero bwe yakomawo mu Yerusaalemi, abakomole ne bamunenya,
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.
nga bagamba nti, “Lwaki wakyalira Abaamawanga abatali bakomole n’oyingira ne mu nnyumba n’olya nabo?”
4 Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,
Awo Peetero n’abannyonnyola byonna ng’agamba
5 I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came 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 Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
Mu ssuuka eyo ne ndabamu ebisolo byonna eby’oku nsi ebirina amagulu ana, n’ebyewalula, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga.
7 Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.
Ne mpulira eddoboozi nga liŋŋamba nti, ‘Peetero, situka osale, olye.’
8 And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.
“Nze ne nziramu nti, ‘Nedda, Mukama wange, kubanga siryanga ku kintu kya muzizo oba ekitali kirongoofu.’
9 But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
“Naye eddoboozi ne liddamu nga liŋŋamba nti, ‘Ekyo Katonda ky’amaze okulongoosa tokiyitanga ekitali kirongoofu.’
10 And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.
Ne kiba bwe kityo emirundi esatu. Oluvannyuma essuuka n’ezzibwayo mu ggulu ne byonna ebyagirimu.
11 Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.
“Amangwago laba abasajja basatu abaatumibwa okuva e Kayisaliya ne batuuka ku nnyumba we nnali nsula!
12 And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans 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 And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
N’atutegeeza nga malayika bwe yamulabikira mu nnyumba ye, n’amugamba nti, ‘Tuma ababaka e Yopa banoonye Simooni ayitibwa Peetero,
14 He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.
ajje akutegeeze ggwe n’ab’omu nnyumba yo nga bwe muyinza okulokolebwa!’
15 And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.
“Awo bwe nnali nga nakatandika okubabuulira Enjiri, Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’abakkako nga naffe bwe yatukkako ku kusookera ddala!
16 Then I remembred the word of the Lord, howe he said, Iohn baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy Ghost.
Awo ne nzijukira ebigambo bya Mukama waffe bwe yagamba nti, ‘Yokaana yabatiza na mazzi, naye mmwe mulibatizibwa na Mwoyo Mutukuvu.’
17 For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let 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 When they heard these things, they helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto life.
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 And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely.
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 Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus.
Naye, abamu ku bakkiriza abaagenda mu Antiyokiya nga bava e Kupulo n’e Kuleene ne babuulira Abayonaani ku Mukama waffe Yesu.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto the Lord.
Awo omukono gwa Mukama ne gubeera wamu nabo, Abaamawanga bangi ne bakkiriza ne bakyuka okudda eri Mukama.
22 Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia.
Awo ab’omu Kkanisa y’omu Yerusaalemi bwe baawulira ebyo, ne batuma Balunabba mu Antiyokiya ayambe abakkiriza.
23 Who when he was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in the Lord.
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 For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto the Lord.
Balunabba yali muntu wa kisa ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’okukkiriza, abantu bangi ne basenga Mukama.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seeke Saul:
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Balunabba n’alaga e Taluso okunoonya Sawulo,
26 And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.
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 In those dayes also came Prophets from Hierusalem vnto Antiochia.
Mu kiseera ekyo ne wabaawo bannabbi abaaserengeta mu Antiyokiya nga bava mu Yerusaalemi.
28 And there stoode vp one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to passe vnder Claudius Cesar.
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 Then the disciples, euery man according to his ability, purposed to sende succour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea.
Awo abayigirizwa ne bamalirira okuweereza obuyambi eri abooluganda abaali mu Buyudaaya, buli muntu nga yeesonda nga bwe yasobola,
30 Which thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
ne batuma Balunabba ne Sawulo batwalire abakadde.
