1 Ebyo owebyawoire, oPawulo nʼazwa omwAsene nʼayaba e Kolinso. 2 Eeyo nʼayajiryayo oMuyudaaya ogubeeta bati Akwira, omubyale wʼomwitwale lyʼe Ponto, eyabbaire yankawulikanga okuzwa omwItale aamo nʼomukaliwe oPulisikira. Babbaire bawulikire olwakubba okabaka oKirawudiyo yabbaire alagiire aBayudaaya bonabona bazwe omu Looma. OPawulo nʼayaba okubabona, 3 era engeri omulimo ogubakolanga okwebbesyawo bona egigwabbaire kukola weema nga iye, nʼabbanga nabo ni bakoleranga aamo. 4 Buli Saabbaato, oPawulo nʼayakananga nʼaBayudaaya aamo nʼaBayonaani omwikumbaaniro ngʼagezyaku okubaikiririsya obukwenda obukwata oku Yesu.

5 OSiira nʼoTemuseewo owebatuukire omu Kolinso okuzwa e Makedooniya, oPawulo ebyʼokukola eweema nʼabizwaku ni yeemalira ku kulaabba kibono kya Kibbumba kwonkani eeri aBayudaaya, nga wabasonzolera ati oYesu niiye oKurisito. 6 Neye owebamwakanisirye ni bateekaku nʼokumuzuma, yena nʼabeekankabaku era nʼabakoba ati, “Owemujigirikanga olwʼokugaana obukwenda bwa Kibbumba musango gwanywe, nze atyanu mbabulaku buvunaanyizibwa. Era okuzwa atyanu njaba kulaabbanga eeri Batali Bayudaaya.”

7 Atyo oPawulo nʼazwa omwikumbaaniro, nʼayaba oku mulirano awo, omu kisito kyʼomusaiza ogubeeta bati Titaayo Yusito, eyabbaire omusaiza asinza eino oKibbumba. 8 OKulisipo, eyabbaire omukulu wʼeikumbaaniro, aamo nʼabʼomu kisitokye bonabona ni baikiririrya omu Musengwa, era nʼabʼe Kolinso bangi abawulisisirye oPawulo ni baikiririrya omu Yesu era ni bababatiza.

9 Lumo omu kiire, oPawulo nʼasuna okwolesebwa ngʼoMusengwa amukoba ati, “Tiwaatya, weekalangule okutumula ebinkwataku, tiwawaamu amaani, 10 olwakubba nze ndi aamo na iwe. Mpaawo eyakulumba ooba okukutuucaaku akabbikabbi olwakubba ndi nʼabantu bangi omu kibuga munu.” 11 Nʼolwekyo oPawulo nʼabba oomwo nʼamalamu omwanka mulamba nʼekitundu ngʼayegesya abantu ekibono kya Kibbumba.

12 OGaliyo oweyabbaire nga niiye omufugi wʼeitwale lyʼAkaya, aBayudaaya ni basalira aamo olukwe ni bakwata oPawulo, ni bamutwala omu kooti yʼembuga. 13 Awo ni bamuwaabira bati, “Omusaiza onu asendasenda abantu okusinza oKibbumba omu ngeri evuna amateeka.”

14 Neye oPawulo oweyabbaire ati atandiike okwewozyaku, oGaliyo nʼakoba aBayudaaya ati, “Inywe Bayudaaya, singa ekimuvunaana omusaiza onu kibbaire kisobyo ekyʼamaani ooba eibbengo eriri awo erinene, kyankubbaire kirimu amakulu nze okuwulisisya ekimukoba. 15 Neye ngʼowekiri kiti enkayaana gyanywe gikwata ku bibono, na ku maliina, na ku mateeka gaanywe, mubimalire eeyo inywe abanyere oku banyere; nze tinalamule ensonga egyo.” 16 Atyo nʼalagira bababbinge omu kooti awebasalira emisango. 17 Awo bonabona niiwo okucuukira oSositeneesi, omukulu wʼeikumbaaniro, ni bamukubbira awo omu luuga lwʼekooti. Neye oGaliyo iye nandi nʼabafaaku.

18 OPawulo nʼamala omu Kolinso enaku egyera. Oluzwanyuma, nʼaseebula aboluganda, nʼaserengeta oku mwalo e Kenkereya, oPulisikira nʼAkwira ngʼabamwerekaku, egiyabbaire nʼokuniina omu lyato baabe e Siiriya. Ngʼali omu Kenkereya kaisi baize baniinenge omu lyato, yamweireku enziirigye olwʼekyeyamo ekiyabbaire akolere okulaga ati atyanu akituukiriirye.18:18 Kub 6:18 19 Owebatuuka omwEfeeso, oPawulo nʼaleka oPulisikira nʼAkwira okusigala aawo, iye nʼayaba nʼaingira omwikumbaaniro lyʼoomwo nʼayakananga nʼaBayudaaya abeyaajiiryeyo oku bikwata oku Yesu. 20 Abamo kwibo owebamusabire bati agire ngʼakaali aliku nabo okumala akaseera akeera, iye nʼagaana. 21 Neye era oweyabbaire abaseebula nʼabakoba ati, “Owekwalibba kutaka kwa Kibbumba, naliira.” Awo nʼaniina omu lyato okuzwa Efeeso ni yeeyongerayo. 22 Oweyatuukire oku mwalo e Kaisaaliya, nʼazwa omu lyato nʼaniinaniina okwaba e Yerusaalemi okusugiryaku ekanisa eyo. Oweyamalire, nʼaserengeta okwaba Antiyokiya.

23 Oluzwanyuma lwʼokumalaku akaseera omwAntiyokiya, oPawulo nʼayaba ngʼabitabita kifo ku kifo okumalaku ebitundu byʼomwitwale lyʼe Galatiya nʼomu Furigiya, nga wairyamu abaikirirya bonabona amaani.

24 Ebyo nga byaba omu maiso, oMuyudaaya moiza eriinalye bati Apolo, omubyale wʼAlekizandereya, nʼaiza omwEfeeso. Omusaiza oyo yabbaire mutumuli musa, kaisi ngʼomu kusonzola eBiwandiike takwatika. 25 Yabbaire nga yasomere nʼakenkuka omu bintu ebikwata oku nzira ya Musengwa. Era ngʼali nʼekibinyibinyi okutumula oku bifa oku Yesu, era ngʼabyegesya nʼatuuciryaku kusani ngʼowebiri. Okutoolaku kiti, okubatiza kwonkani okuyabbaire amaite kwabbaire kuudi oYokaana okuyayegesyanga. 26 Apolo oyo nʼatandiika okulaabba ebikwata oku Yesu nʼobugumu omwikumbaaniro. OPulisikira nʼAkwira owebamuwuliire ngʼatumula, ni bamwaniriza omu kisito kyabwe, ni bongera okumusonzolera nga batuuciryaku kusani ebikwata oku nzira ya Kibbumba.

27 Apolo oweyatakire ati ayabe eeyo omwAkaya alaabbe obukwenda bwa Kibbumba, aboluganda ni bamuwagira, era ni bawandiikira abaikirirya ba Yesu abʼomwAkaya bamwanirize. Era oweyatuukireyo, nʼabbeera ino abo oKibbumba abeyabbaire akwatiire ekisa nʼabaikiririsya okumwikirirya, 28 olwakubba yayakanisyanga ino aBayudaaya omu luujude nʼabakira, ngʼaijulira omu Biwandiike okukakasa ngʼoYesu owaali niiye oKurisito.
