Katonda yaingira mu omwoyo gwae okwagera ategerezia kandi aingizia amangʼana goona aga Paulo yawoola.+ 15 Olwa iye alala na awantu awa mu enyumba yaae waamala okubatiiswa, yatueta mu enyumba yaae na awoola otino, “Ni muwona mbwe kuwuene noona ndi no okuganya ku Yesu, kane mutugie omwange muwe awageni wange.” Kutio ku amangʼana ago yagera tugia omwae.+
Paulo ni Siila wateerwe mu owusiwe Filiipi
16 Owuire wulala ni tuagianga asi aa okusawa, twa-agaana omwala owemirimo omugule owawanga ne *emisambwa egia okulagula awantu. Kandi kuno kwareetranga awaamugula emfuno enyingi ino aeniki yalagulanga awantu na awalaga ewintu ewiazanga okuwiikorra ni wamuoloola.+ 17 Omwala ono yalonda Paulo alala ni ifwe na aogerera otino, “Awantu wano na *awakurumu awa Katonda omwene omwene owa ku igulu. Wawalanzizia kiomo muesa okutuukra owuinunuzi.”+ 18 Yagia emberi na akola otio ku amiire amangi nawuno enda eya Paulo yagia eyia ne ekikeeno ekio, agaluka akilaga kitino, “Ku eriina eria Yesu Kristo, nkusikirra mbwe fuma ku omwala oyo!” Kandi ekikeeno ekio kiafuma ku omwala oyo kalala.+ 19 No olwa awantu awaagula omwala ono waawona mbwe engira yaawu eya okutuukra amasendi eoneeke, wa-amba Paulo ni Siila wawakulula wawaira mu olwanyi olwa omugizi ku awakangasi. 20 Waawareeta emberi wa awakengi awa ekiina, wawaingirra watino, “Wano na Awayaudi. Wamiire okureeta erioga eringi mu omugizi gwifu guno.+ 21 Waona awantu wuona ni wawagerera enkola ezia ifwe Awaruumi endagirra ziifu ngazituganyiire okulonda namba okukola.” 22 Omurima ogwawanga ao gwaizogaana na awantu wano okuingirra Paulo ni Siila, kutio awakengi awa ekiina waawatandulako enguwo kandi wasikirra mbwe waswawukwe enkowa. 23 Ni waamala okuswawukwa ino, waawarigiza mu owusiwe kandi omurinzi yasikirrwa mbwe awawarre ino watafuma.+ 24 Olwa omurinzi yawurra amangʼana ago, yawatoola awata mu akayumba aka munsi mu enyumba eya owusiwe, mala atoola amagulu gaawu asiwa ku ewisiki ewia okusiwa awasiwe.
25 Owuire agati, ni Paulo ni Siila waasawanga kandi ni waemba enyembo ezia okutondowola Katonda, na awasiwe awiina waawu na wasarigiire wawategerezia, 26 waizuikra ne ekialo kizegera kalala wukalu aa owulusa owua enyumba eya owusiwe wuona wuazegera. Mu enyinga ezio, ewiriango ewia enyumba eya owusiwe wiaiguka namba ewiuma ewia waawanga ni wasiwirwe nawio wiasiwuka. 27 Olwa omurinzi ya-azamuka mu endoolo atuukra mbwe ewiriango wiiguuke, yaingirizia mbwe awasiwe wafumre, kutio yazomola omwambe kugere aifumute afwe.+ 28 Ni Paulo yaogerera wukalu na awoola otino, “Yawa! Otaaza waona owulamu wuao wusaasa. Turiano twona.”
29 Omurinzi oyo yaeterezia mbwe ewimuri wireetwe. Yasomoka aingira mu owusiwe munsi agia agwa ansi mu amagulu aga Paulo ni Siila na adada no owuti. 30 Nikuemao yawafumia enze awawuuzia otino, “Awakangasi, nkoleki kugere ntuukre owuinunuzi?”
31 Waamuirania watino, “Ganya ku *Omwami Yesu Kristo kugere onunulwe iwue na awa mu enyumba yaao woona.”+ 32 Kutio Paulo ni Siila waagerera omurinzi oyo na awantu awa mu enyumba yaae woona amangʼana aga Katonda. 33 Mu enyinga ezia owuire ezio omurinzi oyo yatoola Paulo ni Siila, agia awaozizia ewisonga ewiawanga ku emiwiri giawu, nikwo iye alala na awa mu enyumba yaae waabatiiswa.+ 34 Nikuemao yawatoola agia nawo omwae awiikazizia okuria emberi waawu mbwe warie. Iye na awa mu enyumba yaae waawa no owusangaavu ino ku okuwa mbwe waganyire ku Katonda.
35 Olwa owuire wuakia, awakengi awa ekiina waatumra omurinzi owa owusiwe omulangra okumulaga otino, “Reka awantu awo wagie.” 36 Omurinzi oyo yalaga Paulo otino, “Awakengi awa ekiina watumre amangʼana mbwe mbareke mugie. Kutio muri iwaga, mufume mugie no owuolu.”
37 Ni Paulo yawalaga otino, “Muwurre, ifwe turi Awaruumi, ni kukawa kutio izo wagerre tukubwa wusaasa emberi wa awantu ni wakiari okutuukra owuoni wuifu kandi watuingizia mu owusiwe. Katio ekigera ni wagala okutusiwula owuiwisi niki? Tulowere ngatufuma muno. Mugie muwalage waaze watufumie iwo aweene.”+
38 Omulangra oyo yagia alaga awakengi awa ekiina ekingʼana kino. Olwa waamanya mbwe Paulo ni Siila waawanga Awaruumi, owuti wuawa-amba ino. 39 Waagia aweene wairizizia Paulo ni Siila mbwe wawarekere. Waawafumia enze kandi wawiiyemba mbwe waganye wafume ku omugizi gwawu ogwo wagie. 40 Kutio ni Paulo ni Siila waamala okufuma mu owusiwe, waagia wawa awageni awa Luudia. Waagaana na Awakristo ao, awa wa-ambia amaani nikwo wafuma ni wagia.+
