1 Kasi mukama Agu̱ri̱pa yaaweera Pau̱lo, “Tu̱kwi̱ki̱ri̱i̱ze weetonganeho zi̱zo nsonga za bahandu̱ ba Bayudaaya zibakukujunaana.”

Mwomwo Pau̱lo yaabyokya mukono gwamwe, kasi yeetonganaho naakoba, 2 “Mukama Agu̱ri̱pa, gya ndi na mu̱gi̱sa kiro kya deeru kwetonganaho mu mei̱so gaamu ha zizi nsonga zenseenya za bahandu̱ ba Bayudaaya zibakunjunaana. 3 Nkwewona nindi na mu̱gi̱sa, hab̯wakubba nyeegi̱ri̱ nti, weegi̱ri̱ kurungi hoi̱ ngesu zeetu̱ za Bayudaaya hamwei̱ na bi̱byo bintu bituteikiraniza nabyo. Nahab̯waki̱kyo nkukusaba onyeetegeerye na kugumisiriza.

4 “Bayudaaya benseenya, beegi̱ri̱ nka ku̱nceeri̱ nindi muntu murungi kurugira ki̱mwei̱ mu b̯uto b̯wange.

9 “Nagyadede, nyaateekerezengi̱ nti, nkuteekwa kukora kintu kyenseenya kikusoboka, ku̱lwani̱sya bantu beikiririza mu Yesu̱, munyakuruga mu rub̯uga Nazareeti̱. 10 Ki̱kyo kyokyo de ki̱nyaakoori̱, mu rub̯uga lwa Yeru̱salemu̱. Bahandu̱ ba balaami̱ ba Ruhanga bampeeri̱ b̯u̱sobozi̱ nyaakwata bantu ba Ruhanga banene, banyakwikiririzanga mu Mutongoole wa Ruhanga Ku̱ri̱si̱to, nyaabata mu nkomo. Kandi de, b̯u̱baabacwerengi̱ musangu gwa ku̱kwa, gyadede nyaasagi̱kengi̱ babei̱te. 11 Mirundi minene nyaagyendengi̱ mu marombero ga Bayudaaya, mwa kuwona nti bantu bakwikiririza mu Ku̱ri̱si̱to, bakutunga kifubiro, kandi nyaalwani̱si̱i̱rye na kubahambiriza beegaane Yesu̱ Ku̱ri̱si̱to, gi̱bei̱ki̱ri̱ri̱zengi̱mwo.

12 “Mu lugyendu lwange lu̱mwei̱ lwa kugyenda kukwata bantu bakwikiririza mu Ku̱ri̱si̱to na kubata mu nkomo, nyaali ninkugyenda mu rub̯uga lubeeta Damasi̱ko.

15 “Mwomwo nyaab̯u̱u̱lya, ‘Mukama wange, weewe naani?’

“Mukama yanzi̱ri̱ri̱mwo naakoba, ‘Gyagya Yesu̱ gyokuhiiga.’ 16 Kasi Mukama yambwera, ‘Hataati̱ byoka, weemeere. Nku̱wonekeeri̱, mwa kukukoma aleke onkolere nooli muheereza wange kandi kei̱so wa bintu bikunkwataho, byoweeni̱ hataati̱. Kandi de, obaweere na bi̱byo bi̱nkwi̱za ku̱kwolokya. 17 Nkwi̱za kukujuna hali Bayudaaya bei̱ra baamu na hali Banyamahanga. Nkukutuma hali bo bensei̱ hamwei̱, 18 aleke ogyende obeegesye bigambu bya Ruhanga, balekeho kukora bintu bibiibi, batandike kukora bintu birungi, kandi bahinduke baruge mu kufugwa maani ga Sitaani mu̱handu̱ wa mizumu, bei̱re hali Ruhanga, yooyo abafuge. Mwomwo Ruhanga abaganyire bibii byab̯u, kandi batunge kiikaru hamwei̱ na bab̯wo ba Ruhanga bayaasyani̱i̱rye mitima hab̯wa kunzikiririzamwo.’

19 “Nahab̯waki̱kyo mukama Agu̱ri̱pa, ntakasuule kuwonekerwa ku̱kwo ku̱nyaatu̱ngi̱ri̱ kuruga mwiguru. 20 Nyaatandi̱ki̱si̱i̱rye na ku̱tebeerya bantu ba mu rub̯uga lwa Damasi̱ko, nyaahondeeryaho ba rub̯uga lwa Yeru̱salemu̱, kasi mwomwo nyaahondeeryeho bantu benseenya ba mu bicweka bi̱si̱geeri̱ho bya B̯uyudaaya, kasi mwomwo de, nyaatebeerya na Banyamahanga. B̯ukwenda b̯u̱nyaatebeeryengi̱ bab̯wo bantu, kwali kubaweera nti bakuteekwa kwezi̱ramwo bibii byab̯u bahindukire Ruhanga, kandi de, bakore bikorwa birungi bi̱kwolokya nti kwo mali̱, beezi̱ri̱ri̱mwo. 21 Hab̯wa ku̱tebya b̯u̱b̯wo b̯ukwenda, kyokyo kinyakuha Bayudaaya kunzagya mu zi̱gati̱ gya Yeekaru, bankwata, baalwani̱sya na ku̱nzi̱ta. 22 Kyonkei, hab̯wakubba nti Ruhanga ei̱ceeri̱ nandinda kudwera ki̱mwenya ha kiro kya deeru, kyokyo ki̱mpeeri̱ kwemeera haha kuha b̯uli muntu b̯u̱kei̱so b̯ukukwatagana na Yesu̱ Ku̱ri̱si̱to.

24 Pau̱lo b̯uyaali naakyagyenda mu mei̱so na kwetonganaho yatyo, Fesi̱to yaamaari̱ gamuweera neiraka lya hakyendi̱, “Pau̱lo, ohu̱ngu̱tu̱ki̱ri̱! Kusoma kwamu kunene kukugyenda kukuguma iraru.”

25 Pau̱lo yaamwi̱ri̱ri̱mwo naamuweera, “Waki̱ti̱i̱ni̱sa Fesi̱to, gya ngwi̱ri̱ kwahi iraru. Bigambu binkubaza, bili bya mananu kandi bya muntu mu̱teeku̱ byabaza. 26 Mukama Agu̱ri̱pa, bibi bigambu bi̱mbazi̱ri̱ hali Ku̱ri̱si̱to, obyegi̱ri̱. Nahab̯waki̱kyo, nkubaza nawe nindi mwanzu̱ru̱ku̱. Nku̱gu̱mya nti b̯uli ki̱mwei̱ muli byo, oi̱ceeri̱ nookiwona; hab̯wakubba, mu kubbaho kwabyo, bitakabbe bya nsita, byalingi hasyanu̱.” 27 Mwomwo Pau̱lo yaab̯u̱u̱lya Agu̱ri̱pa, “Mukama Agu̱ri̱pa, okwikiriza nti bigambu bya baragu̱ri̱ ba Ruhanga, bi̱baaragwi̱ri̱ hali Ku̱ri̱si̱to Mutongoole wa Ruhanga, bili bya mananu? Nkyegi̱ri̱ okubiikiriza, kubba nibili bya mananu.”

28 Mwomwo mukama Agu̱ri̱pa yei̱ramwo Pau̱lo naakoba, “Okuteekereza, mu b̯wi̱re b̯u̱dooli̱ yati, okusobora kunsikiriza nintandika kwikiririza mu Ku̱ri̱si̱to?”

29 Mwomwo Pau̱lo yei̱ramwo Agu̱ri̱pa naakoba, “Nkusaba Ruhanga nti, nab̯ukyatwala b̯wi̱re b̯u̱dooli̱ rundi b̯unene, otabba weewe musa, akwikiririza mu Yesu̱ Ku̱ri̱si̱to. Kyonkei, na bantu bandi benseenya baku̱nyeetegeerya kiro kyadeeru, naboodede beikirize Yesu̱, nka gya ku̱nyaamwi̱ki̱ri̱i̱ze, kyonkei nywe nywensei̱, nkwendya kwahi muwonawone nka gya kunkuwonawona mu nkomo.”

30 Pau̱lo b̯u̱yaamaari̱ kubaza bi̱byo bigambu, mukama Agu̱ri̱pa, weisaza Fesi̱to, Bbereni̱i̱ke, hamwei̱ na bantu bandi banyakubba bei̱cali̱i̱ri̱ hamwei̱ nabo, bensei̱ beemeera. 31 Baahu̱lu̱ki̱ri̱ mu ki̱si̱i̱ka kikooto ha baalingi beecookeeri̱, baatandika kubaza ku Pau̱lo nibaweerangana, “Yogo mudulu tali na musangu gwenseenya gwagu̱mi̱ri̱, gukumuha kusemeera kwi̱twa rundi kubbohwa.” 32 Mwomwo Agu̱ri̱pa yaaweera Fesi̱to, “Pau̱lo abbengi̱ ataaju̱li̱i̱ri̱i musangu gwamwe hali Kaisaali, waakabba omu̱teeseerye, omu̱toori̱ mu nkomo.”
