1 Omu kiseera ekinyere ekyo, okabaka eyabbaireku ebiseera ebyo, yena eriina bati Kerode, nʼatandiika okuyiigaania ekanisa. Atyo nʼalagira bakwate abamo kwabo, 2 era nʼalagira baite nʼempiima omutume oYaakobbo omuganda wa Yokaana. 3 Oweyaboine ngʼekyakolere kisangaalisirye ino abeekubbemberi bʼaBayudaaya, nʼayaba omu maiso nʼalagira bakwate oPeetero yena. Ekyo kyabbairewo mu naku gyʼ oMukolo ogwʼeMigaati eGibulamu eKizumbulukuca. 4 Owebamalire okukwata oPeetero, ni bamwigalira omu mabbuusu, ni bamuteekaku ebibinja byʼabakuumi bina, buli kimo nga kirimu abaisulukale bana bana, bimukuumenge mu biwu. OKerode ekiyabbaire ategeka kyabbaire kiti, amuleete amusalire omusango mu lwatu, ngʼoMukolo ogwʼoKutambukirya guwoire.12:4 Kuz 12:1-27

5 Kale oPeetero ni bamukuumira omu mabbuusu, neye ekanisa ni yeekalangula okumusabira eeri oKibbumba.

6 NgʼoMukolo guwoire, omu kiire ekiceisya olunaku oKerode oluyabbaire yawuluciryaku oPeetero okumusalira omusango, oPeetero yabbaire agonere akati omu baisulukale babiri. Abo, buli moiza babbaire bamusibire olujegere olusibire engalo gya Peetero kunu na kudi, kaisi abakuumi abandi ibo nga bali amulyango bakuumire amabbuusu. 7 Amantamanyaku, omalaika okuzwa e wa Musengwa nʼaingira omu mabbuusu oPeetero omu yabbaire, okwaka ni kwizula omu mabbuusu. Omalaika nʼaguunya oPeetero okwibega okumulamuca ngʼamukoba ati, “Osetuke, okole owangu!” Amangu ago, enjegere egyabbaire oku ngalo gya Peetero ni gitibuka, ni gigwa.

8 Omalaika tete nʼamukoba ati, “Weesibe omusibirogwo, osibe nʼebiraitobyo!” OPeetero oweyamalire okukola ekyo, omalaika nʼamukoba ekindi ati, “Ozwale nʼekikootikyo, oize twabe!” 9 OPeetero atyo nʼasengererya omalaika, ni bawuluka, neye nga tamaite ati omalaika ebyakola dala biri kubbangawo; iye ngʼaseega ati asunire kwolesebwa. 10 OPeetero nʼomalaika ni babita oku bakuumi abasooka, era nʼoku bokubiri. Ni batuuka oku geeti eyʼekyoma eeri oku lukita lwʼamabbuusu ewuluka omu luguudo olwaba omu kibuga, enyere ni yeigulawo. Ni babitawo, ni bagwa omu luguudo, ni baaba omu kibuga. Babba bankatambula okumalaku olumo oku nguudo egyʼomu kibuga, omalaika nʼagotawo, era nʼaleka oPeetero yenkani.

11 Awo niiye oPeetero oweyairiire omu kutegeera ebiriwo nʼakoba ati, “Atyanu ntegeire anambula kubuusabuusa nti oMusengwa atumire omalaikawe nʼantaisulya okuzwa omu ngalo gya Kerode. Era ampunucirye ebyo byonabyona abeekubbemberi ba Bayudaaya ebibabbaire beeyayira okuntucaaku.”

12 Awo oPeetero oweyamalire okutegeera niki ekigwirewo, nʼayaba oku nyumba ya Malyamu omaaye wa Yokaana ogubeeta eriina erindi bati Maako. Omu nyumba oomwo abaikirirya bangi gibabbaire bakumbaaniire, nga basabira oPeetero. 13 Oweyatuukire oku nyumba, nʼakonkona oku lwigi olwʼomu maiso, omwala omugalama wʼaawo, eriinalye bati Looda, nʼaiza okubona omuntu akonkona. 14 OLooda oweyamanyicirye eigono lya Peetero, nʼaizula eisangaalo, nʼebyʼokwigulawo nʼabizwaku, nʼairuka kwirayo munda. Owaatuuka eeri ababbaire basaba, nʼakoba ngʼoPeetero owaali e nza oku mulyango.

15 Ibo ni bamwiramu bati, “Iwe oboneka ogwire iralu.” Neye iye nʼakalala ati ekyatumula kituuce. Ibo ni bamukoba bati, “Oyo kiboneka malaika wa Peetero niiye ogwowuliire ngʼatumula.”

16 Eenu ngʼokwakana kukaali kwaba omu maiso, eedi iye oPeetero ni yeegumya okukonkona. Ekyazwiremu ni baigulawo, okwaba okubona nga niiye dala, ni bawugulala. 17 OPeetero niiye okugerya nʼengalo ngʼabakoba basirikeku bawulisisye, atyo nʼabalonserya ngʼoMusengwa owamutoire omu mabbuusu. Era, nʼamaliirirya nʼokubakoba ati, “Binu mubikobereku nʼoYaakobbo12:17 15:13; 21:18 aamo nʼaboluganda abandi abasigaire.” Oweyamalire, nʼazwawo nʼayaba awantu awandi.

18 Owekwaceire amakeezi, ni wabbaawo okuziringitana nʼokutya okwʼamaani omu baisulukale abakuumanga oPeetero, nga beebuulya niki ekyatuukire oku Peetero. 19 Iye oKerode oolwo ngʼamalire okulagira bayaze buli wantu nga bamunonia neye ni batamubona. Era nʼawozesya ababbaire abamukuumire, era nʼalagira ni babaita.

Ebyo owebyawoire, oKerode nʼazwa omu Buyudaaya, nʼaserengeta omu kibuga e Kaisaaliya, nʼabba yeeyo okumala akabbanga.

20 Neye omu kiseera ekyo oKerode oyo, nʼabatyami bʼomu bitundu byʼe Tiiro nʼe Sidoni babbaire balwire nga bali nʼendibo eyʼamaani. Kale ibo ni basalawo okwegaita aamo, baize egyali okusyania naye. Batyo ni basimoolya oBbulasito, omukuumi wʼolubirirwe oguyeesiganga eino okubakolera oku nsonga eyo. Era okubitira mwiye ni batuuca okusaba kwabwe eeri oKerode bati bakomye okayaani, baire obumo olwakubba basunanga ekyokulya kuzwa mu bantu bʼomu kyalo oKerode ekiyafuganga.

21 Awo olunaku oKerode oluyalaagaine nabo okubasisinkaniraku owerwatuukire, nʼazwala ebizwalobye ebyʼobwakabaka, nʼatyama oku ntebeye eyʼobwakabaka, nʼawa entumulaye eeri abantu. 22 Awo abantu ni batandiika okukubba olukero nga webamuwaana bati, “Wobe! Onu tatumula ooti muntu bbe wazira kibbumba!” 23 Ananyere awo, olwakubba oKerode yalekere abantu ni bamusinza nʼokumuwa ekitiisya ekibankawaire Kibbumba, omalaika wa Musengwa nʼamumumamu olumbe. Yasindikire ebiwuuka omu binamukida ni bimulya nʼafa.

24 Neye ikyo ekibono kya Kibbumba ni kyeyongera okusalaana omu bantu, obungi bwʼabaikirirya ni bweyongerera nakimo.

25 Awo oBbalunaba nʼoSawulo owebamalire okutuuca obubbeeri obubatwaliire abaikirirya abʼomu Yerusaalemi ni bazwayo ni bakanga Antiyokiya. Kwolwo baabire nʼoYokaana, ogubeeta eriina erindi bati Maako.
