1Omu kibuga kyʼe Kaisaaliya mwabbairemu omusaiza eriinalye bati Koloneeryo. Yabbaire niiye aduumira ekibinja kyʼabaisulukale 100 abʼamaje gʼaBalooma ekyo abakira ekibabbaire bamaite ngʼeKikoosi kyʼabʼe Itale. 2Omusaiza oyo aamo nʼabʼomu kisitokye bonabona babbaire batya oKibbumba era ngʼeneebitya yaabwe emuweesya ino ekitiisya. Yagabiranga abo abadoobi nʼomwoyo gumo, era ngʼokusaba oKibbumba tagonerya. 3Lumo oku saawa ooti mwenda egyʼeigolo, oKoloneeryo nasuna okwolesebwa. Era nʼabona kusani ngʼomalaika wa Musengwa oKibbumba aiza egyali, nʼamweta ati, “Koloneeryo!”

4Awo oKoloneeryo, ensisi nʼemukwata, ni yeekalikica omalaika amaiso, nʼamubuulya ati, “Niki Musengwa?” Omalaika nʼamwiramu ati, “Okusabakwo nʼokugabakwo bikwaite oKibbumba oku mwoyo nʼabisiima, era atyanu akwiramu. 5Aale atyanu otume abantu e Yoopa baabe beete omusaiza ogubeeta oSimooni, nʼerindi bati Peetero. 6Acaire e wʼomusaiza yena ogubeeta bati Simooni, omuwaali wʼamadiba, aali nʼekisito ekiri oku mbale mbale kwʼenyanza.”

7Omalaika wa Musengwa eyatumwire naye oweyamalire okuzwawo, oKoloneeryo nʼayeta babiri oku bagalamabe abʼomu nyumba nʼomwisulukale omoiza kwabo abakuumibe asinza oKibbumba. 8Oweyamalire okubabitiramu byonabyona ebibbairewo, nʼabatuma e Yoopa.

9Oku lunaku olwairireku, ngʼabebatumire bakaali bali mu nzira batira okutuuka e Yoopa, oku saawa ooti mukaaga egyʼomusana, iye oPeetero nʼaniina e ngulu oku kisooto* oku nyumba okusaba oKibbumba. 10Ngʼali eeyo, enzala nʼemuluma, ni yeegomba okubbaaku nʼekyokulya. Nga bakaali bakimutegekera, yaabire okweyaja ngʼaingiire mu kwolesebwa. 11Era nʼabona eigulu nga libiikukire. Ekintu ekiri ooti gujoola ogugalami gwika oku kyalo ampi nʼegyali ooti-so amo waliwo abagukwaite ku buli nsonda gyagwo eina bagwica. 12Omu gujoola ogwo mwabbairemu ebisolo ebya buli ngeri ebyʼebigere ebina, nʼebyekulukuusa. Era mwabbairemu nabuli kika kyʼenyonyi. 13Ni wawulikikawo eigono nga limukoba liti, “Peetero, osetuke osale ku binu, olye!”

14OPeetero nʼairamu ati, “Bbe Musengwa, timpezya okukola ekintu ngʼekyo. Nze tindyangaku kintu kyonakyona amateeka gʼekiyudaaya ekigatwala ngʼekyomuliko ooba ekitasaana okulya.”

15Eigono nago tete ni limukoba liti, “Ekintu oKibbumba ekyatukwirye nʼakiikirirya ngʼekisa tokitwalanga ngʼekitali kitukulye.” 16Okumukoba okukola ebyo kwabbairewo emirundi misatu, era amangu ago ogusuuka ogwo ni bagwiryayo omwigulu.

17NgʼoPeetero akaali ali aawo yeebuulya niki ebyaboine omu kwolesebwa ekibitegeeza, abasaiza oKoloneeryo abeyatumire, ni batuuka. Okukubba amaiso bati, nga beemereire nakimo ku geeti yʼekisito kya Simooni omuwaali wʼamadiba. Kaisi babbaire babuuliriirye ni bavumbula ekisito nago egikiri. 18Awo ni bakubba okoodi, ni babuulya ababbairewo bati, “Kinu niikyo ekisito oSimooni, erindi bati Peetero egyabba?”

19Iye oPeetero ngʼakaali ali eenu aseega kwekyo ekyaboine, oMwoyo oMweru nʼamukoba ati, “Simooni, waliwo abasaiza basatu bakunoonia. 20Nʼolwekyo osetukiremu oniinuke, era oyabe nabo amanteezizyazizya, olwakubba ninze mbatumire.” 21Awo oPeetero nʼayaba egiri abasaiza nago, ni yeeyanjula egibali ati, “Ninze onu ogumunoonia. Mubbaire mukoba mutya?”

22Ibo ni bamwiramu bati, “Tuzwereire wa Koloneeryo, aduumira ekibinja kyʼabaisulukale 100, omusaiza atuukiriire, era atya oKibbumba, era aBayudaaya bangi ogubawa ekitiisya. Omalaika omweru owa Kibbumba yamubonekeire, nʼamukoba akwete oyabe e wuwe awulireku ebyokoba.” 23Kale oPeetero nʼabaaniriza omu nyumba ngʼabagenibe, era ni bagonawo.

Eizo waaku, oPeetero nʼasetula okwaba nʼabakwenda ba Koloneeryo abo, era abamo oku boluganda ababbaire omu Yoopa ni bamwerekaku. 24Olunaku olwairireku, ni batuuka e Kaisaaliya. OKoloneeryo yabbaire abasuubira, kale ngʼabakuumiriire. Era yabbaire ayetereku nʼabantube nʼabakaagwabe abʼomunda, bonabona nga bali aawo bakumbaine okuwulisisya obukwenda bwa Peetero. 25OPeetero oweyatuukire, oKoloneeryo nʼairuka nʼaiza okumwaniriza, era nʼagwa oku mazwi abigere bya Peetero okumusinza. 26Neye oPeetero nʼamusetula nga waamukoba ati, “Bbe, oleke bba, tiwakola ekyo, osetuke! Zena ogwobona ndi muntu-buntu nga iwe.”

27Awo ni baaba nga balonsya nʼoKoloneeryo, oPeetero nʼaingira omu nyumba. Oweyatuukiremu, yaajiiryemu abantu bangi oKoloneeryo abaayetere nga bakumbaine. 28Omu ntumulaye, oPeetero nʼatandiika nʼokubakoba ati, “Inywe nywena mukimaite nakusani ngʼowekiri kya muliko, omu mateeka gʼekiyudaaya, oMuyudaaya okukolagana nʼatali Muyudaaya ooba okumucaalira. Neye, oKibbumba andagire okutatwalanga muntu yenayena nti oKibbumba tamwikirirya, ooba nti tatukula. 29Kagira owemwanjetere, tinezizyazizirye wazira njizire-kwiza. Aale atyanu munkobere ekyagirire ni munjeta.”

30Awo oKoloneeryo nʼamwiramu ati, “Enaku ina atyanu egibitirewo, omu kiseera ooti kinanyere kinu esaawa mwenda egyʼomusana, nabbaire omu nyumba yange nga nsaba oKibbumba. Mbu nkubba amaiso nti, ni mbona omuntu azwaire ebizwalo ebimirikiinya ngʼanjemereireku omu maiso. 31Omuntu oyo nʼankoba ati, ‘Koloneeryo, oKibbumba awuliire okusabakwo, era asiimire nʼokugabakwo. 32Aale otumisye e Yoopa, bakwetere omusaiza ogubeeta oSimooni Peetero abba omu kisito kya Simooni omuwaali wʼamadiba, ekiri oku mbale mbale kwʼenyanza.’ 33Zena niiye okukutumisya, era nsiimire ino okwizakwo. Swenaswena aanu ngʼowotubona tukumbaine omu maiso ga Kibbumba kuwulisisya biibyo byonabyona oMusengwa oKibbumba ebyakulagiire okutukobera.”

34Awo oPeetero nʼatandiika entumulaye ati, “Atyanu mazima ntegeereire nakimo ngʼoKibbumba owaatamomola.* 35Neye ayaniriza buli muntu owʼeigwanga lyonalyona amuwa ekitiisya, era akola ebyasiima. 36Mumaite obukwenda oKibbumba obuyasindikire eeri aBaisirairi ngʼabakobera aMawuliro aMasa agaleetera abantu eidembe akati waabwe naye, okubitira omu kwikirirya oYesu Kurisito, oMusengwa wa bantu bonabona. 37Mumaite ebikole ebikulu ebyaizire bibbaawo okubita omu Buyudaaya mwonamwona, nga bisetukira e Galiraaya kasookeede oYokaana alaabba eeri abantu ebikwata oku kubatiza. 38Ekikoba kiti, mumaite ebifa oku Yesu owʼe Naazaleesi. Mumaite ngʼoKibbumba oweyamulondere, nʼamuwa oMwoyowe oMweru era nʼamaani okukola ebyewunyo. Era, mumaite ngʼoYesu oyo oweyabitabitanga wonawona nga waakolera abantu ebisa neenu waalamya nʼabo bonabona ababbaire ansi wʼeifuge lya Sitaani. Ebyo byonabyona yabikolanga olwʼokubba oKibbumba yaabbanga naye.

39“Iswe abatume tuli bajulizi ba buli kimo ekiyakolere omu kyalo kyʼaBayudaaya era nʼomu kibuga e Yerusaalemi. Bamwitire nga bamukomerera oku musalabba, 40neye oluzwanyuma lwʼenaku ibiri, oku lwokusatu oKibbumba nʼamuzuukiza, atyo nʼamuzweraku okubonekaku tete. 41Aate nʼomu kubonekaku tiyabonekeire Bayudaaya bonabona. Yabonekeireku bajulizi oKibbumba abeyabbaire amalire okulondamu nga bukaali. Ekikoba kiti, niiswe ababbaireku oku kiinulo ekimo naye ngʼazuukiire. 42OYesu oyo yatulagiire okulaabba obukwenda obwo eeri abantu nga tujulira tuti iye niiye oKibbumba oguyalondere okubba omulamuzi wʼabantu abalibba bakaali boomi nʼabalibba bafiire. 43EBiwandiike byʼabanaabbi bonabona bimutumulaku biti, ‘Buli moiza amwikiririryamu asuna okumusoniya ebibbibibbibye olwʼobwezye bwʼeriinalye.’ ”

44OPeetero ngʼakaali atumula ebibono ebyo, oMwoyo oMweru nʼaika ku bonabona ababbaire bawulisisya obukwendabwe. 45Ekyo ni kyewunyisya ino aBayudaaya abaikirirya, nʼabo ababbaire baizire nʼoPeetero okuzwa e Yoopa, okubona ngʼoKibbumba awaire ekirabo ekyʼoMwoyo oMweru nʼaBatali Bayudaaya bona. 46Ekyo kityo olwakubba babawuliire nga batumula omu ntumu egindi era nga bawuuja oKibbumba.

Awo oPeetero nʼakoba ati, 47“Nseega nti mpaawo muntu aali nʼensonga egaana abantu banu okubabatiza nʼamaizi. Aale tiniikyo? Ekyo kityo olwakubba mbona oKibbumba ngʼabawaire oMwoyo oMweru, era ngʼoweyamutuwaire iswe.” 48Atyo oPeetero nʼakoba ati oleke bababatize omu bwezye bwʼeriina lya Yesu Kurisito. Ebyo nga biwoire, abo ababbairewo ni basaba oPeetero okusigala ngʼabbaaku nabo okumala enaku egindi ntontono giti.
