Petero yiregura mu bavandimwe b’i Yeruzalemu

1 Intumwa za Kristo n’abavandimwe bari muri Yudeya yose bumva ko n’abatari Abayahudi bakiriye Ijambo ry’Imana.

2 Nuko Petero agarutse i Yeruzalemu abavugaga ko gukebwa ari ngombwa bamugisha impaka, baramunegura bati:

3 “Ubonye ngo uragenderera abatakebwe ukanasangira na bo?”

4 Petero abatekerereza uko byagenze kose abikuye ruhande ati:

5 “Nari mu mujyi w’i Yope nsenga maze ndabonekerwa. Mbona ikintu cyamanukaga gisa n’umwenda munini urambuye, gifashwe ku mitwe ine. Kiva mu ijuru kingera iruhande.

6 Nkirungurutsemo mbona amatungo n’ibikoko n’ibikururuka hasi n’inyoni.

7 Nuko numva ijwi ry’umbwira ati: ‘Petero, haguruka ubage urye!’

8 Ndamusubiza nti ‘Oya Nyagasani! Sinigeze nkoza mu kanwa ikintu cyose kitaribwa cyangwa gihumanya!’

9 Nongera kumva iryo jwi ry’uvugira mu ijuru ati: ‘Icyo Imana yahumanuye ntukacyite igihumanya.’

10 Ibyo bisubirwamo gatatu, hanyuma ibyo bintu byose bisubizwa mu ijuru.

11 Ako kanya abagabo batatu bantumweho baraza baturutse i Kayizariya, baba bageze ku nzu nari ncumbitsemo.

12 Mwuka ambwira kujyana na bo nta kugingimiranya. Abo bavandimwe batandatu b’i Yope turajyana, twinjira mu nzu ya Koruneli.

13 Adutekerereza ukuntu yabonye umumarayika ageze iwe, akamubwira ati: ‘Ohereza umuntu i Yope, utumize Simoni wahimbwe Petero.

14 Azakubwira uburyo wowe n’abo mu rugo rwawe mwese mwakizwa.’

15 Ngitangira kuvuga Mwuka Muziranenge aramanuka abajyaho, nk’uko natwe yatujeho rugikubita.

16 Ni bwo nibutse icyo Nyagasani yigeze kuvuga ati: ‘Yohani yabatirishije amazi, ariko mwebwe muzabatirishwa Mwuka Muziranenge.’

17 None rero niba Imana yarabagabiye impano imwe n’iyo natwe twahawe cya gihe twemeraga Nyagasani Yezu Kristo, ndi nde wo kurwanya imigambi yayo?”

18 Babyumvise batyo bahita batuza, maze basingiza Imana bati: “Erega n’abatari Abayahudi Imana yabashoboje kwihana kugira ngo bagire ubugingo buhoraho!”

Itorero rya Kristo ryo mu mujyi wa Antiyokiya

19 Abemera Kristo batatanijwe n’amakuba yabaye igihe Sitefano yicwaga. Bamwe muri bo bagiye muri Fenisiya, abandi muri Shipure n’abandi Antiyokiya, batangariza Ijambo ry’Imana Abayahudi bonyine.

20 Nyamara bamwe muri abo bigishwa ba Kristo bakomokaga muri Shipure no muri Sirene, bageze Antiyokiya bavugana n’abatari Abayahudi, babagezaho Ubutumwa bwiza bwerekeye Nyagasani Yezu.

21 Ububasha bwa Nyagasani bwari kuri bo, bigatuma abantu benshi bamwemera bakamuyoboka.

22 Iyo nkuru igera ku itorero rya Kristo ry’i Yeruzalemu, maze bohereza Barinaba Antiyokiya.

23 Agezeyo abona ukuntu Imana yahaye abo bantu umugisha biramushimisha, ni ko kubihanangiriza ngo bakomere kuri Nyagasani babikuye ku mutima.

24 Barinaba yari umuntu mwiza wuzuye Mwuka Muziranenge no kwizera Kristo. Bityo abantu benshi biyongera ku bemeraga Nyagasani.

25 Barinaba aherako ajya i Tarisi gushaka Sawuli.

26 Amubonye bagarukana Antiyokiya. Bamara umwaka wose mu itorero rya Kristo ryaho, bigisha abantu benshi. Abigishwa ba Kristo b’i Antiyokiya ni bo babaye aba mbere mu kwitwa “Abakristo”.

27 Icyo gihe habonetse abahanuzi bavuye i Yeruzalemu, bajya Antiyokiya.

28 Umwe muri bo witwaga Agabo akoreshejwe na Mwuka w’Imana, arahaguruka ahanura ko ku isi yose hagiye gutera inzara ikomeye (koko ni ko byabaye ku ngoma y’umwami w’i Roma witwa Kilawudiyo).

29 Noneho abigishwa ba Kristo bakurikije uko umuntu wese yifite, biyemeza kugira icyo batanga cyo gufasha abavandimwe bari batuye muri Yudeya.

30 Babigenza batyo izo mfashanyo baziha Barinaba na Sawuli, na bo bazishyikiriza abakuru b’Umuryango wa Kristo i Yeruzalemu.

Kwicwa kwa Yakobo no gufungwa kwa Petero

1 Muri icyo gihe Umwami Herodi atangira kugirira nabi abantu bamwe bo mu Muryango wa Kristo.

2 Ategeka ko bicisha inkota Yakobo mwene se wa Yohani.

3 Abonye ko ibyo bishimishije Abayahudi, ariyongeza afatisha na Petero. Ibyo byabaye mu minsi mikuru Abayahudi baryagamo imigati idasembuye.

4 Amaze kumufata amushyira muri gereza. Ategeka amatsinda ane y’abasirikari bane bane ngo bajye bakuranwa kumurinda. Yashakaga kuzamushyira mu ruhame nyuma y’iminsi mikuru ya Pasika.

5 Nuko Petero arindirwa muri gereza. Ariko ab’Umuryango wa Kristo bakomeza kumusabira ku Mana bashyizeho umwete.

Petero abohorwa

6 Herodi araye ari bumujyane gucirwa urubanza, Petero yari asinziriye azirikishijwe iminyururu ibiri, ari hagati y’abarinzi babiri. Hari n’abandi barinzi ku rugi rwa gereza.

7 Nuko umumarayika wa Nyagasani aratunguka, maze umucyo ukwira muri iyo nzu. Uwo mumarayika akomanga Petero mu rubavu, aramukangura aramubwira ati: “Byuka bwangu!”

Iminyururu ihita imuva ku maboko iragwa.

8 Umumarayika aramubwira ati: “Kenyera ushyiremo n’inkweto!” Abigenza atyo. Umumarayika ni ko kumubwira ati: “Ifubike umwitero wawe unkurikire!”

9 Petero aramukurikira bava aho. Ariko ntiyari azi ko ibyo umumarayika akoze ari ibimubayeho koko, ahubwo yibwiraga ko arota.

10 Banyura ku barinzi ba mbere no ku ba kabiri, bagera ku rugi rw’icyuma rwo ku irembo ryerekera mu mujyi. Rugira rutya rurabikingurira barasohoka, banyura umuhanda umwe wo mu mujyi. Ako kanya umumarayika amusiga aho.

11 Nuko Petero agaruye umutima aravuga ati: “Noneho menye by’ukuri ko Nyagasani yohereje umumarayika we, akankiza amaboko ya Herodi n’imigambi yose y’Abayahudi.”

12 Amaze kumenya neza aho ari, ajya kwa Mariya nyina wa Yohani bitaga Mariko, aho abantu benshi bari bateraniye basenga.

13 Petero akomanga ku rugi rwo ku irembo, maze umukobwa w’umuja witwaga Roda ajya kumva uwo ari we.

14 Amenya ijwi rya Petero maze ibyishimo bimubuza kumukingurira, ahubwo asubirayo yiruka abwira abandi ko Petero ahagaze ku rugi.

15 Baramubwira bati: “Wasaze!”

Ariko ababwira akomeje ko ari iby’ukuri. Bo rero baravuga bati: “Si we, ni umumarayika we!”

16 Nyamara Petero akomeza gukomanga. Bigeza aho baza gukingura, baramubona barumirwa.

17 Arabacecekesha maze abatekerereza uko Nyagasani yamukuye muri gereza. Nyuma arababwira ati: “Mubimenyeshe Yakobon’abandi bavandimwe.”

Nuko Petero arasohoka yigira ahandi hantu.

18 Bukeye haba impagarara nyinshi mu basirikari, bibaza ibyabaye kuri Petero.

19 Herodi amushakisha hose ariko ntiyamubona. Ni bwo yategetse ko babaza abarinzi b’imbohe, hanyuma bakabica. Birangiye Herodi ava muri Yudeya amara iminsi i Kayizariya.

Urupfu rw’Umwami Herodi Agiripa

20 Herodi yari arakariye cyane abaturage b’i Tiri n’i Sidoni. Nuko bo bahuza inama baramusanga, maze bashaka amaboko kuri Bulasito umutware w’abanyanzu b’Umwami, basaba umwami amahoro kuko bahahiraga mu gihugu cye.

21 Ku munsi wagenwe Herodi yambara imyambaro ya cyami, yicara ahirengeye maze afata ijambo aganirira rubanda.

22 Nuko batera hejuru bati: “Erega si umuntu uvuga, ahubwo ni imwe mu mana!”

23 Ako kanya umumarayika wa Nyagasani aramukubita agwa inyo arapfa, kuko yari yihaye icyubahiro gikwiye Imana.

24 Nyamara ijambo ry’Imana rirushaho kwamamara.

25 Barinaba na Sawuli barangije umurimo wabo bava i Yeruzalemu basubira Antiyokiya, bari kumwe na Yohani witwaga Mariko.

Barinaba na Sawuli batumwa n’Imana

1 Mu itorero rya Kristo rya Antiyokiya, habaga abahanuzi n’abigisha, ari bo Barinaba na Simeyoni uwo bitaga Rukara, na Lukiyo wo muri Sirene, na Manaheni wari wareranywe n’Umutware Herodina Sawuli.

2 Igihe basengaga Nyagasani bigomwe kurya, Mwuka Muziranenge arababwira ati: “Nimuntoranyirize Barinaba na Sawuli bajye gukora umurimo nabahamagariye.”

3 Nuko bigomwa kurya barasenga, hanyuma babarambikaho ibiganza barabohereza.

Barinaba na Sawuli bajya ku kirwa cya Shipure

4 Barinaba na Sawuli batumwe na Mwuka Muziranenge bajya i Selukiya, aho bafata ubwato bagana kuri Shipure.

5 Bageze ku cyambu cya Salamina, bavuga ijambo ry’Imana mu nsengero z’Abayahudi. Yohani Mariko na we yari kumwe na bo abafasha.

6 Bambukiranya ikirwa cyose bagera i Pafo, bahasanga umupfumu w’Umuyahudi wahanuraga ibinyoma witwaga Bariyezu.

7 Yabaga kwa Serugiyo Pawulo, Umunyaroma w’umunyabwenge wategekaga icyo kirwa. Uwo mutegetsi atumiza Barinaba na Sawuli, kuko yashakaga kumva Ijambo ry’Imana.

8 Uwo mupfumu Eluma (ni ko Bariyezu yitwa mu Kigereki) arabarwanya, agerageza kuyobya umutegetsi ngo atemera Kristo.

9 Nyamara Sawuli ari we Pawuloyuzuye Mwuka Muziranenge, ahanga ijisho uwo mupfumu aramubwira ati:

10 “Yewe mwana wa Satani, mwanzi w’ubutungane bwose wuzuye uburiganya n’amahugu, uzageza he gusiba amayira ajya kuri Nyagasani?

11 None dore Nyagasani abanguye ukuboko ngo agukubite, urafatwa n’ubuhumyi umare iminsi utareba izuba.”

Ako kanya Eluma aba nk’uri mu mwijima, arahumagurika ashaka abamurandata.

12 Wa mutegetsi abonye ibibaye atangazwa n’inyigisho za Nyagasani, maze aramwemera.

Pawulo yigishiriza Antiyokiya ho muri Pisidiya

13 Pawulo n’abo bari kumwe binjirira mu bwato i Pafo, bafata hakurya i Periga ho muri Pamfiliya, Yohani Mariko we abasiga aho yisubirira i Yeruzalemu.

14 Bo bava i Periga barakomeza, maze bataha Antiyokiya ho muri Pisidiya. Ku munsi w’isabato binjira mu rusengero baricara.

15 Bamaze gusoma mu gitabo cy’Amategeko n’Abahanuzi, abayobozi b’urusengero babatumaho bati: “Bavandimwe, turagira ngo mugire icyo mubwira abantu bacu, niba hari ufite ijambo ryo kubahugura.”

16 Pawulo arahaguruka arambura ukuboko abasaba gutuza, arababwira ati: “Bisiraheli n’abandi mwese mwubaha Imana, nimunyumve.

17 Imana y’uyu muryango wa Isiraheli yatoranyije ba sogokuruza ibagira ubwoko bukomeye, igihe bari abasuhuke mu gihugu cya Misiri, nyuma ibakuzayo ukuboko kwayo gukomeye.

18 Nuko imara imyaka mirongo ine yihanganira ingeso zaboigihe bari mu butayu.

19 Imana imaze kurimbura amahanga arindwi mu gihugu cya Kanāni, ikigabira abantu bayo kiba igihugu cyabo bwite,

20 bakimaramo imyaka magana ane na mirongo itanu.

“Nyuma y’ibyo ibaha abacamanzabo kubategeka kugeza mu gihe cy’umuhanuzi Samweli.

21 Ubwo ni bwo basabye umwami wo kubategeka, Imana ibaha Sawuli mwene Kishi wo mu muryango wa Benyamini, abategeka imyaka mirongo ine.

22 Imana imaze kumukuraho ishyiraho Dawidi kugira ngo ababere umwami, iramuhamya iti: ‘Niboneye Dawidi mwene Yese, umuntu unogeye uzakora ibyo nshaka byose.’

23 Yezu ukomoka kuri Dawidi uwo, ni we Imana yagize Umukiza w’Abisiraheli nk’uko yabisezeranye.

24 Nuko Yezu atarasesekara aho, Yohani yatangarizaga Abisiraheli bose ko bagomba kwihana ngo babatizwe.

25 Nuko Yohani ajya kurangiza umurimo we abaza abantu ati: ‘Muragira ngo ndi nde? Sindi uwo mukeka. Ahubwo dore hari uje ankurikiye, ntibinankwiriye kumukuramo inkweto.’

26 “Bavandimwe, rubyaro rwa Aburahamu n’abandi bo muri mwe mwubaha Imana, ubu Butumwa bw’agakiza ni twe bwagenewe.

27 Abatuye i Yeruzalemu n’abategetsi babo ntibasobanukiwe Yezu uwo ari we, ntibanasobanukiwe ibyo abahanuzi bahanuye kuri we kandi bisomwa mu nsengero buri sabato. Nyamara babisohoje ubwabo igihe bamuciraga urwo gupfa.

28 Nubwo batabonye impamvu yo kumwicisha, basabye Pilato kumwica.

29 Bamaze gukora nk’uko byanditswe kuri we kose, bamumanura ku musaraba yabambweho bamushyira mu mva.

30 Ariko Imana iramuzura.

31 Amara iminsi myinshi abonekera abo bari baragendanye kuva i Galileya kugera i Yeruzalemu, ubu ni bo bagabo bo guhamya ibyo muri rubanda.

32 None tubazaniye inkuru nziza: icyo Imana yasezeranyije ba sogokuruza,

33 yarakidukoreye twebwe abana babo ubwo yazuraga Yezu, nk’uko byanditswe muri zaburi ya kabiri ngo

‘Ni wowe Mwana wanjye, kuva uyu munsi ndi So.’

34 Imana yavuze kandi ko izamuzura mu bapfuye, kugira ngo atazasubira ukundi mu mva ngo abore, ibivuga itya iti:

‘Nzabaha ibyiza bitagira amakemwa kandi bidahinyuka,

ibyo nasezeraniye Dawidi.’

35 Ni cyo gituma no mu yindi zaburi havuga ngo

‘Ntuzemera ko ugutunganiye abora.’

36 Dawidi we yakoze ibyo Imana ishaka mu gihe cye, maze arasaza ashyingurwa hamwe na ba sekuruza arabora.

37 Ariko uwo Imana yazuye ntiyigeze abora.

38-39 Noneho bavandimwe, mumenye ko ari ku bwa Yezu uwo mwagejejweho iyo nkuru yo kubabarirwa ibyaha. Ku bwe kandi buri wese muri mwe umwemera agirwa intungane imbere y’Imana ku byamushinjaga byose, kandi bitari kubashobokera mwishingikirije ku Mategeko ya Musa.

40 Muririnde rero kugira ngo ibyavuzwe n’abahanuzi bitababaho bagira bati:

41 ‘Mwa banyagasuzuguro mwe, nimwitegereze,

nimutangare maze mwipfire!

Muri iki gihe cyanyu ngiye gukora igitangaza,

ntimuzacyemera nubwo hagira ukibabwira.’ ”

42 Pawulo na Barinaba basohotse mu rusengero, abo bantu babasaba kuzongera kubabwira bene ayo magambo ku isabato itaha.

43 Iteraniro rimaze gusezererwa, benshi bo mu Bayahudi n’abandi bemeye idini yabo bakurikira Pawulo na Barinaba, ni ko kuvugana na bo babatera umwete wo gukomeza kwishingikiriza ku buntu Imana igira.

44 Ku isabato yakurikiyeho, hafi y’abantu bose batuye umujyi barakorana ngo bumve Ijambo ry’Imana.

45 Abayahudi babonye icyo kivunge cy’abantu ishyari rirabashengura, ni ko guhinyura ibyo Pawulo yavugaga baranamusebya.

46 Nuko Pawulo na Barinaba babasubiza bashize amanga bati: “Byari bikwiriye ko ari mwe mubanza kubwirwa Ijambo ry’Imana. Ariko kuko muryanze kandi mukabona ko mudakwiriye ubugingo buhoraho, dore twisangiye ab’andi mahanga.

47 Ni na ko Nyagasani yadutegetse ati:

‘Nakugize urumuri rw’abanyamahanga,

uzageza agakiza ku mpera z’isi.’ ”

48 Abatari Abayahudi babyumvise baranezerwa, bishimira Ijambo rya Nyagasani. Abari bagenewe ubugingo buhoraho bose bemera Kristo.

49 Ijambo rya Nyagasani rikwira muri icyo gihugu cyose.

50 Ariko Abayahudi boshya abagore bubaha Imana b’abanyacyubahiro n’abantu bakomeye bo mu mujyi, bateza abantu gutoteza Barinaba na Pawulo, bageza aho babirukana mu ntara yabo.

51 Na bo bahungura umukunguguwo mu birenge byabo, barawubasigira maze bīgira mu mujyi witwa Ikoniyo.

52 Abigishwa ba Kristo bo mu mujyi wa Antiyokiya basigaye buzuye ibyishimo na Mwuka Muziranenge.

Mu mujyi wa Ikoniyo

1 Ni ko byagenze bageze Ikoniyo, Pawulo na Barinaba binjiye mu rusengero rw’Abayahudi, maze bavugana na bo ku buryo Abayahudi n’abatari Abayahudi benshi cyane bemeye Kristo.

2 Ariko Abayahudi bari banze kumwemera bateye imidugararo mu batari Abayahudi, babatera kumerera nabi abo bavandimwe.

3 Nuko Pawulo na Barinaba bahamara igihe kitari gito bavuga ibya Nyagasani bashize amanga, na we abaha gukora ibitangaza no gutanga ibimenyetso byemeza ibyo bavugaga byerekeye ubuntu bw’Imana.

4 Abatuye uwo mujyi bicamo ibice, bamwe bajya ku ruhande rw’Abayahudi, abandi ku rw’Intumwa za Kristo.

5 Nuko Abayahudi n’abatari bo bajya inama n’abatware babo, kugira ngo bagirire nabi Pawulo na Barinaba babatere amabuye.

6 Abo babimenye bahungira mu mijyi ya Lisitira na Derube yo muri Likawoniya, no mu karere gahereranye na yo.

7 Aho ngaho bakomeza kuhatangaza inkuru nziza ya Kristo.

I Lisitira n’i Derube

8 I Lisitira hari umugabo wari waravutse aremaye ibirenge, ntiyigera abasha gutambuka.

9 Yicaye aho atega Pawulo amatwi. Pawulo amwitegereje abona yizeye gukira indwara,

10 amubwira mu ijwi riranguruye ati: “Haguruka uhagarare wemye!”

Arabaduka aragenda.

11 Aho hari imbaga nyamwinshi y’abantu, babonye icyo Pawulo yakoze barangurura amajwi, bavuga mu rurimi rwo muri Likawoniya bati: “Imana zifite ishusho y’abantu zatumanukiye!”

12 Barinaba bamwita Zewu, na Pawulo bamwita Herume, kuko ari we wakundaga gufata ijambo.

13 Ingoro ya ya mana yabo Zewu yari inyuma y’umujyi. Nuko umutambyi wayo azana ku irembo ibimasa bitatse indabyo, kubera ko we na rubanda bashakaga gutura ibitambo izo Ntumwa za Yezu.

14 Ariko Barinaba na Pawulo bumvise ibyo bashaka kubakorera, bahita bashishimura imyambaro yabo kubera umubabaro, biroha muri iyo nteko y’abantu bakōmēra bati:

15 “Mwa bagabo mwe, ibyo ni ibiki mushaka gukora? Natwe turi abantu nkamwe. Tubazaniye Ubutumwa bwiza ngo mureke ibyo bintu bitagira akamaro, muhindukirire Imana nzima yaremye ijuru n’isi n’inyanja n’ibirimo byose.

16 Mu bihe byashize yaretse amahanga yose akora ibyo yishakiye.

17 Nyamara ntiyareka gutanga ibimenyetso bihamya ukugira neza kwayo: kubavubira imvura no kubaha umusaruro mu gihe gikwiriye, no kubahaza ibibatunga n’ibibashimisha.”

18 Nubwo izo Ntumwa za Kristo zavuze zityo, ntibyazoroheye kubuza iyo mbaga y’abantu kuzitura ibitambo.

19 Bigeze aho haza Abayahudi bamwe bavuye muri Antiyokiya no muri Ikoniyo, bigarurira abo bantu bose, batera Pawulo amabuye ngo bamwice. Nyuma bamukururira inyuma y’umujyi batekereza ko yapfuye.

20 Ariko igihe abigishwa ba Kristo bamukikije, arahaguruka asubira mu mujyi. Bukeye ajyana na Barinaba i Derube.

Pawulo na Barinaba basubira Antiyokiya ho muri Siriya

21 Pawulo na Barinaba bamamaza inkuru nziza ya Yezu i Derube, maze bahabona abigishwa benshi. Hanyuma basubira i Lisitira na Ikoniyo na Antiyokiya ho muri Pisidiya.

22 Bakomeza abigishwa ba Kristo baho, babatera umwete kugira ngo bakomere ku kwizera Kristo bababwira bati: “Ni ngombwa ko tunyura mu makuba menshi ngo tubone kwinjira mu bwami bw’Imana.”

23 Batoranya abakuru muri buri koraniro ry’Umuryango wa Kristo, bamaze gusenga no kwigomwa kurya babaragiza Nyagasani bari baremeye.

24 Bambukiranya akarere kose ka Pisidiya, bagera mu ntara ya Pamfiliya.

25 Bamaze kubwira ab’i Periga Ijambo ry’Imana, baramanuka bagera ahitwa Ataliya,

26 bavayo bafata ubwato bagana Antiyokiya ho muri Siriya, aho ba bavandimwe bari barabaragirije Imana, ngo ibagirire ubuntu bwo kubashoboza gukora uwo murimo bari barangije.

27 Bagezeyo bakoranya itorero rya Kristo ryaho ryose, baritekerereza ibyo Imana yabakoresheje byose, n’uburyo yugururiye irembo abatari Abayahudi ngo binjire mu bemera Kristo.

28 Nuko bamarana igihe kitari gito n’abigishwa ba Kristo.

Inama yabereye i Yeruzalemu

1 Abantu bamwe bavuye muri Yudeya basanga abavandimwe bo mu mujyi wa Antiyokiya, barabigisha bati: “Ntimubasha gukizwa niba mudakebwe mukurikije umuhango twasigiwe na Musa.”

2 Pawulo na Barinaba babyumvise bajya impaka na bo zitoroshye, barabavuguruza. Noneho abo bavandimwe batoranya Pawulo na Barinaba hamwe n’abandi bo muri bo, ngo bajye i Yeruzalemu kugisha inama Intumwa za Kristo n’abakuru ku byerekeye icyo kibazo.

3 Nuko ab’itorero rya Kristo babaha ibyo kubafasha mu rugendo, bambukiranya intara za Fenisiya na Samariya bagenda bavuga ukuntu abatari Abayahudi bahindukiriye Imana, iyo nkuru inyura abavandimwe bose.

4 Bageze i Yeruzalemu bakirwa n’itorero rya Kristo ryaho n’Intumwa za Kristo n’abakuru, babatekerereza ibyo Imana yabakoresheje.

5 Ariko bamwe bo mu ishyaka ry’Abafarizayi bari bemeye Kristo, barahaguruka baravuga bati: “Abo banyamahanga bagomba gukebwa no gutegekwa gukurikiza Amategeko ya Musa.”

6 Intumwa za Kristo n’abakuru bakoranywa no gusuzuma icyo kibazo.

7 Bamaze umwanya bajya impaka, Petero arahaguruka arababwira ati: “Bavandimwe, muzi yuko kera Imana yantoranyije muri mwe ngo ntangaze Ubutumwa bwayo bwiza mu banyamahanga, kugira ngo babwumve babwemere.

8 Ariko Imana yo izi imitima y’abantu itanga icyemezo ko yemeye abo banyamahanga, igihe yabahaga Mwuka Muziranenge nk’uko natwe yamuduhaye.

9 Nta tandukaniro Imana yashyize hagati yacu na bo, ahubwo yatunganyije imitima yabo kubera ko bayizeye.

10 None rero kuki mushaka kugerageza Imana, mukorera abo bigishwa ba Kristo umutwaro tutabashije kwikorera natwe ubwacu, habe n’ababyeyi bacu?

11 Ahubwo twemera ko ari twe ari na bo, twese twakijijwe kubera ubuntu Nyagasani Yezu Kristo yatugiriye.”

12 Iryo teraniro ryose riraceceka, ryumva Barinaba na Pawulo baritekerereza ibimenyetso Imana yatanze n’ibitangaza yabakoresheje mu banyamahanga.

13 Bamaze kuvuga Yakoboafata ijambo ati: “Bavandimwe, nimunyumve.

14 Simoni Petero yadutekerereje ukuntu Imana yagendereye abanyamahanga rugikubita, ibatoranyamo abo kuba abantu bayo,

15 ibyo bikaba bihuje n’ibyavuzwe n’abahanuzi nk’uko Ibyanditswe bivuga ngo

16 ‘Nyuma y’ibyo nzagaruka,

nzavugurura ingoma ya Dawidi imeze nk’inzu yasenyutse,

ahasenyutse nzahasana nyihagarike.

17 Abantu bazacika ku icumu bazansanga,

amahanga yose yahoze ari ayanjye azansanga.’

Uko ni ko Nyagasani avuga,

18 wabitangaje kuva kera kose.”

19 Yakobo arakomeza ati: “Ndemeza ko tutashyira amananiza ku banyamahanga bahindukirira Imana.

20 Ahubwo tubandikire kugira ngo birinde ibyahumanijwe kubera ko byatuwe ibigirwamana, birinde n’ubusambanyi no kurya inyama z’ibyanizwe, birinde no kunywa amaraso.

21 Erega kuva kera kose, mu mijyi yose Musa afite abatangaza Amategeko ye, bakayasomera mu nsengero buri sabato!”

Urwandiko rwandikiwe abanyamahanga bemeye Kristo

22 Nuko Intumwa za Kristo n’abakuru n’ab’Umuryango we bose biyemeza kwitoramo bamwe ngo babohereze Antiyokiya, bajyanye na Pawulo na Barinaba. Batoranyije Yuda witwaga Barisaba na Silasi, abagabo babiri b’imena mu bavandimwe.

23 Babaha urwandiko ruvuga ruti:

“Twebwe Intumwa za Kristo n’abakuru turabaramutsa, bavandimwe bacu bo mu yandi mahanga, batuye Antiyokiya no mu ntara za Siriya na Silisiya.

24 Twumvise ko bamwe muri twe babaroshyemo amagambo yo kubakura imitima, kandi tutigeze tubatuma.

25 None twese twahuje umugambi wo gutoranya abo kubatumaho. Bazanye na Barinaba na Pawulo dukunda cyane,

26 bahaze amagara yabo kugira ngo bakorere Umwami wacu Yezu Kristo.

27 Ngabo rero Yuda na Silasi ni bo tubatumyeho, ngo mubonane imbonankubone babibwirire ibyo tubandikiye.

28 Byanogeye Mwuka Muziranenge kimwe natwe kutabashyiraho umutwaro urenze aya mategeko ya ngombwa:

29 mwirinde kurya inyama zatuwe ibigirwamana n’iz’ibyanizwe, no kunywa amaraso ndetse no gusambana. Nimureka gukora ibyo muzaba mugenje neza. Tubasezeyeho.”

30 Nuko abari batumwe berekeza iya Antiyokiya, bagezeyo bakoranya ab’itorero rya Kristo babashyikiriza urwandiko.

31 Bamaze kurubasomera, abantu bose bishimira ubwo butumwa bubakomeza.

32 Yuda na Silasi ubwabo bari abahanuzi, ni ko kuvugana n’abo bavandimwe byinshi bibahugura bikanabakomeza.

33 Bamarana na bo iminsi, hanyuma babasezeraho basubira ku babatumye, abo bavandimwe bamaze kubifuriza urugendo ruhire. [

34 Icyakora Silasi yiyemeza kuguma aho.]

35 Pawulo na Barinaba baguma Antiyokiya, bo n’abandi benshi bigisha kandi bamamaza Ijambo rya Nyagasani.

Pawulo atangira urugendo rwa kabiri

36 Hashize iminsi Pawulo abwira Barinaba ati: “Reka dusubireyo dusure abavandimwe bo mu mijyi yose aho twatangaje Ijambo rya Nyagasani, turebe uko bameze.”

37 Ubwo Barinaba yashakaga ko bajyana na Yohani witwaga Mariko,

38 ariko Pawulo asanga atari byiza kujyana na we kuko yigeze kubatererana muri Pamfiliya, ntagumane na bo ngo barangize umurimo.

39 Impaka ziba zose kugeza ubwo batandukana, Barinaba ajyana Mariko bafata ubwato bajya muri Shipure.

40 Pawulo we atoranya Silasi, avayo abavandimwe bamaze kumuragiza Nyagasani ngo akomeze kumugirira ubuntu.

41 Anyura muri Siriya na Silisiya akomeza amatorero ya Kristo.

Timoteyo ajyana na Pawulo na Silasi

1 Nuko Pawulo agera i Derube hanyuma ajya i Lisitira. Aho hari hatuye umwigishwa wa Kristo akitwa Timoteyo, nyina akaba Umuyahudikazi wemera Yezu naho se akaba Umugereki.

2 Yashimwaga n’abavandimwe b’i Lisitira n’abo muri Ikoniyo.

3 Pawulo yifuzaga kujyana na we, maze aramukeba kubera Abayahudi bari aho hantu, kuko bose bari bazi ko se wa Timoteyo ari Umugereki.

4 Uko banyuraga mu mujyi, bagezaga ku baho ibyemezo byafashwe n’Intumwa za Kristo hamwe n’abakuru bari i Yeruzalemu, kandi bakabasaba kubikurikiza.

5 Bituma amatorero akomera ku kwemera Kristo kandi akiyongera uko bukeye.

Pawulo yerekwa umugabo wo muri Masedoniya

6 Nuko bambukiranya intara ya Furujiya n’iya Galati, kuko Mwuka Muziranenge yari yababujije kuvuga Ijambo ry’Imana mu ntara ya Aziya.

7 Bageze ku mbibi za Misiya bagerageza kujya mu ntara ya Bitiniya, ariko Mwuka wa Yezu ntiyabakundira.

8 Bamaze kwambukiranya Misiya, baramanuka bagera i Tirowa.

9 Muri iryo joro Imana yereka Pawulo umugabo wo mu ntara ya Masedoniya. Uwo mugabo aramwinginga ati: “Ambuka uze muri Masedoniya udutabare”.

10 Pawulo akimara kubonekerwa twahise dushaka uko twakomeza ngo tujye muri Masedoniya, kuko byagaragaraga ko ari Imana iduhamagariye kujya kubwira abaho Ubutumwa bwayo bwiza.

Lidiya w’i Filipi yemera Kristo

11 Nuko tuva i Tirowa mu bwato, twahuranya inyanja dufata i Samotirasi, bukeye turakomeza tugera i Neyapoli.

12 Tuvayo duca iy’ubutaka tugera i Filipi, umujyi ukomeye wo muri Masedoniya utuwemo n’Abanyaroma, tuhamara iminsi.

13 Ku munsi w’isabato tuva mu mujyi tujya ku mugezi, ahantu twatekerezaga ko abantu basengera. Nuko turicara tuganira n’abagore bari bahakoraniye.

14 Umwe muri bo witwaga Lidiya wo mu mujyi wa Tiyatira, yari umucuruzi w’imyenda itukura ihenda. Yari asanzwe asenga Imana maze adutega amatwi, kuko Nyagasani yamuhaye umutima wo kwita ku byo Pawulo yavugaga.

15 Amaze kubatizwa we n’urugo rwe rwose, ahita atwinginga ati: “Niba mubona ko nayobotse Nyagasani koko, nimuze mbacumbikire.”

Nuko araduhata turabyemera.

Pawulo na Silasi muri gereza i Filipi

16 Umunsi umwe twagiye ha hantu basengeraga, duhura n’umukobwa w’umuja wahanzweho n’ingabo ya Satani yamuteraga kuvuga ibizaba. Yaheshaga ba shebuja amafaranga menshi abwira abantu ibizababaho.

17 Akomeza kudukurikira twe na Pawulo arangurura ati: “Aba bantu ni abagaragu b’Imana Isumbabyose, kandi barabarangira inzira ibageza ku gakiza.”

18 Amara iminsi myinshi abigenza atyo. Pawulo bimaze kumurembya, arahindukira abwira iyo ngabo ya Satani ati: “Mu izina rya Yezu Kristo ndagutegetse ngo ‘Muvemo!’ ”

Ako kanya imuvamo.

19 Ba shebuja b’uwo mukobwa babonye ko nta nyungu bakimutezeho, bafata Pawulo na Silasi babakurubana ku kibuga cyo mu mujyi rwagati, imbere y’abategetsi.

20 Babashyikiriza abacamanza bakuru barababwira bati: “Aba bantu baratera imvururu mu mujyi wacu. Ni Abayahudi

21 kandi barigisha imigenzo tudashobora kwemera cyangwa gukurikiza, kuko turi Abanyaroma.”

22 Rubanda na bo barabahagurukira. Nuko abacamanza babahubuzamo imyambaro, maze batanga itegeko ryo kubakubita.

23 Bamaze kubahaza inkoni babaroha muri gereza, bategeka umurinzi kubarinda cyane.

24 Na we abonye ko ahawe itegeko rikomeye rityo, abashyira muri gereza rwagati amaguru ayahambiriye ho ingiga.

25 Mu gicuku Pawulo na Silasi basengaga baririmba basingiza Imana, izindi mfungwa zibateze amatwi.

26 Nuko muri ako kanya habaho umutingito w’isi ukomeye, imfatiro za gereza zirajegajega. Inzugi zose zihita zikinguka, iminyururu ya bose iradohoka.

27 Umurinzi wa gereza arakanguka. Abonye ko inzugi za gereza zikinguye, akura inkota ngo yisogote kuko yibwiye ko imfungwa zacitse.

28 Ariko Pawulo avuga aranguruye ijwi ati: “Wikwigirira nabi! Twese turahari.”

29 Nuko uwo murinzi atumiza amatara, agenda yiruka yikubita imbere ya Pawulo na Silasi ahinda umushyitsi.

30 Nyuma arabasohokana arababaza ati: “Batware, ngomba gukora iki kugira ngo nkizwe?”

31 Baramusubiza bati: “Wizere Nyagasani Yezu, urakizwa wowe n’abawe.”

32 Nuko bamubwira Ijambo rya Nyagasani, we n’abo mu rugo rwe bose.

33 Ako kanya muri iryo joro, arabajyana abuhagira inguma. Aherako arabatizwa we n’urugo rwe rwose.

34 Nuko ajyana Pawulo na Silasi iwe, arabafungurira. Yishimana n’abo mu rugo rwe bose kubera ko yizeye Imana.

35 Bumaze gucya ba bacamanza bakuru batuma abaporisi ku murinzi wa gereza bati: “Rekura ba bantu!”

36 Umurinzi na we abibwira Pawulo ati: “Abacamanza batumye ngo murekurwe, none rero nimusohoke mwigendere amahoro.”

37 Ariko Pawulo arasubiza ati: “Badukubitiye mu ruhame nta rubanza rwadutsinze, ndetse baturoha muri gereza birengagije ko dufite ubwenegihugu bw’Abanyaroma. None baragira ngo badukuremo rwihishwa? Reka da! Ahubwo nibiyizire baturekure!”

38 Abaporisi bajya kumenyesha abacamanza ayo magambo, na bo bumvise ko Pawulo na Silasi ari Abanyaroma, bibatera ubwoba.

39 Ni bwo baje kubasaba imbabazi, nyuma barabarekura maze babasaba kubavira mu mujyi.

40 Pawulo na Silasi bavuye muri gereza bajya kwa Lidiya, basangayo abandi bemeye Yezu. Bamaze kubarema umutima baragenda.

Imidugararo i Tesaloniki

1 Banyura Amfipoli na Apoloniya bagera i Tesaloniki, aho hari urusengero rw’Abayahudi.

2 Nuko Pawulo yinjira mu rusengero, nk’uko yari amenyereye. Yikurikiranya amasabato atatu ajya impaka n’abantu, ashingiye ku Byanditswe abibasobanurira,

3 abitanga ho umugabo ko Kristo yagombaga kwicwa, kandi akazuka akava mu bapfuye. Yungamo ati: “Yezu uwo mbabwira ni we Kristo.”

4 Bamwe mu Bayahudi bemera ibyo avuze bifatanya na Pawulo na Silasi, ndetse n’Abagereki benshi bubahaga Imana babigenza batyo, kimwe n’abagore b’abanyacyubahiro batari bake.

5 Ariko Abayahudi ishyari rirabasya, maze bakoranya abantu babi b’ibirara basanze mu isoko, barema inteko bateza imidugararo mu mujyi. Biroha mu nzu ya Yasoni bashaka Pawulo na Silasi, kugira ngo babagabize igitero.

6 Bababuze ni ko gukurubana Yasoni n’abandi bavandimwe, babashyikiriza abategetsi b’umujyi bararangurura bati: “Aba bantu bateraguye isi yose hejuru none bageze n’ino,

7 na Yasoni uyu yabakiriye. Bose barakora ibinyuranye n’amategeko y’umwami w’i Roma, bavuga ko hariho undi mwami witwa Yezu.”

8 Ayo magambo atera imidugararo muri rubanda no mu bategeka umujyi.

9 Nuko baca Yasoni na bagenzi be amafaranga y’ingwatiramubiri maze barabarekura.

Ab’i Beroya bubaha Ibyanditswe

10 Bwije abavandimwe bacikisha Pawulo na Silasi, babohereza i Beroya. Bagezeyo bajya mu rusengero rw’Abayahudi.

11 Abantu baho barushaga ubupfura ab’i Tesaloniki, kuko bakiriye Ijambo ry’Imana bafite ubwuzu, buri munsi bagasuzuma Ibyanditswe kugira ngo barebe yuko ibyo Pawulo avuga ari ukuri.

12 Benshi muri bo bemeye Yezu, no mu Bagereki abagore b’abanyacyubahiro, ndetse n’abagabo batari bake na bo biba bityo.

13 Abayahudi b’i Tesaloniki bamenye ko Pawulo atangariza Ijambo ry’Imana i Beroya, bahita bajyayo bateza imvururu muri rubanda.

14 Uwo mwanya abavandimwe bahita bohereza Pawulo ku nyanja, ariko Silasi na Timoteyo baguma i Beroya.

15 Abaherekeje Pawulo bamugeza Atene. Bamusezeyeho abatuma kuri Silasi na Timoteyo ngo bazamugereho vuba uko bishobotse.

Pawulo muri Atene

16 Igihe Pawulo yari Atene agitegereje Silasi na Timoteyo, ashegeshwa n’ukuntu uwo mujyi ugwiriyemo ibigirwamana.

17 Buri munsi yajyaga mu rusengero akajya impaka n’Abayahudi n’abandi basengaga Imana batari Abayahudi, maze akagera no mu kibuga cy’umujyi akajya impaka n’abo asanzeyo bose.

18 Bamwe mu bahanga b’Abepikuri n’Abasitowiki batangira kumugisha impaka.Bamwe bakabaza bati: “Iyi ndondogozi irashaka kuvuga iki?”

Abandi bati: “Arasa n’uvuga iby’imana z’inzaduka.” Icyatumye bavuga batyo ni uko bumvise Pawulo atangaza Kristo n’ukuzuka.

19 Nuko baramufata bamujyana mu rukiko rwabo rw’ikirenga rwitwa Areyopago, baramubaza bati: “Mbese ntiwatubwira iby’izo nyigisho nshya wadukanye?

20 Koko bimwe mu byo uvuga ni inzaduka kuri twe, none turifuza kumenya icyo bivuga.”

21 Erega Abanyatene n’abavamahanga bahatuye, nta kindi birirwaho uretse guhururira no gushyushya inkuru nshyashya!

22 Nuko Pawulo ahagarara hagati muri urwo rukiko maze aravuga ati: “Yemwe bagabo ba Atene, ndabona muri abanyedini bikataje!

23 Ubwo nagendagendaga mu mujyi wanyu nkareba n’ibyo musenga, nabonye urutambiro rwanditsweho ngo ‘Urutambiro rwagenewe imana itazwi.’ Iyo Mana musenga mutayizi ni yo nje kubamenyesha.

24 Imana yaremye isi n’ibiyiriho byose, ari yo Mugenga w’ijuru n’isi, ntitura mu ngoro zubatswe n’abantu.

25 Ntikorerwa n’abantu nk’aho hari icyo ikennye. Ni yo ibeshaho abantu ikabaha umwuka bahumeka n’ibindi byose.

26 Yakomoye ku muntu umwe amoko yose, iyatuza ku isi yose. Ni na yo yashyizeho ibihe by’ibiba n’isarura, kimwe n’ingabano z’aho abantu bagomba gutura.

27 Imana yabigize ityo kugira ngo ahari nibayishakashaka bayibone. Erega n’ubundi ntiri kure ya buri muntu muri twe!

28 Umwe yigeze kuvuga ati:

‘Ni yo dukesha guhumeka no kwinyagambura, mbese no kubaho kose!’

Ni na ko bamwe mu basizi banyu bigeze kuvuga bati:

‘Natwe turi urubyaro rwayo.’

29 None rero ubwo dukomoka ku Mana, ntitugomba gutekereza ko imeze nk’igishushanyo cy’izahabu cyangwa icy’ifeza cyangwa icy’amabuye cyakomotse ku bukorikori n’ubwenge by’abantu.

30 Koko Imana yirengagije ibihe bya kera ubwo abantu bari mu bujiji, ariko ubu irahamagara abantu bose, iyo bava bakagera ngo bihane,

31 kuko yashyizeho umunsi wo gucira isi yose imanza zitabera, ikoresheje umuntu yatoranyije. Kumuzura akava mu bapfuye byabereye abantu bose icyemezo cyabyo.”

32 Pawulo avuze ibyo kuzuka kw’abapfuye bamwe bahita bamugira urw’amenyo, abandi bati: “Ibyo uzaba ubitubwira ikindi gihe.”

33 Nuko Pawulo abavamo aragenda.

34 Ariko abantu bamwe bifatanya na we bemera Kristo. Muri bo hakaba umujyanama wa rwa rukiko rwa Areyopago witwa Diyoniziyo, n’umugore witwa Damari n’abandi.

Pawulo yamamaza ubutumwa bwiza i Korinti

1 Nyuma y’ibyo Pawulo ava Atene ajya i Korinti.

2 Ahasanga Umuyahudi witwa Akwila ukomoka muri Ponto, wari umaze igihe gito avanye n’umugore we Purisila mu Butaliyani, kuko umwami w’i Roma witwa Kilawudiyo

3 kandi kubera ko bari bahuje umwuga wo kuboha amahema, aguma iwabo bakorana uwo murimo.

4 Buri sabato Pawulo yajyaga mu rusengero rw’Abayahudi, akajya impaka ngo yemeze Abayahudi n’Abagereki.

5 Silasi na Timoteyo bamaze kuhagera baturutse muri Masedoniya, Pawulo yihatira kuvuga Ubutumwa bw’Imana yemeza Abayahudi ko Yezu ari we Kristo.

6 Bo baramurwanya baranamusebya, Pawulo aherako akunguta imyambaroye arababwira ati: “Amaraso yanyu arabahame! Jye ndi umwere. Uhereye ubu nigiriye mu banyamahanga.”

7 Nuko ava aho ajya kuba mu rugo rw’umuntu witwa Titiyo Yusito wubahaga Imana, akaba atuye iruhande rw’urusengero rw’Abayahudi.

8 Krisipo umuyobozi w’urusengero yemera Nyagasani we n’urugo rwe rwose. Benshi mu b’i Korinti na bo bumvise amagambo ya Pawulo, bemera Kristo barabatizwa.

9 Hanyuma Nyagasani abonekera Pawulo nijoro, aramubwira ati: “Ntutinye, ahubwo emera uvuge we guceceka

10 kuko ndi kumwe nawe. Nta n’umwe uzagutera ngo akugirire nabi, kuko mfite abantu benshi muri uyu mujyi.”

11 Nuko Pawulo aguma i Korinti, ahamara umwaka n’igice yigisha abaho Ijambo ry’Imana.

12 Ubwo Galiyoyatwaraga Akaya ategekera Abanyaroma, Abayahudi bahuza inama yo gufata Pawulo bamujyana mu rukiko,

13 baramurega bati: “Uyu muntu aroshya abantu gusenga Imana mu buryo bunyuranyije n’Amategeko.”

14 Pawulo agiye kugira icyo avuga, Galiyo abwira Abayahudi ati: “Mwa Bayahudi mwe, nimwumve! Iyo bijya kuba ubugome murega uyu muntu cyangwa ubugizi bwa nabi, najyaga kubihanganira nkabatega amatwi.

15 Naho ubwo ari impaka zishingiye ku nyigisho no ku mazina no ku mategeko yanyu bwite, nimubyirangirize. Sinshaka kuba umucamanza wa bene ibyo!”

16 Nuko abirukana mu rukiko.

17 Bose basumira Sositeni umuyobozi w’urusengero rw’Abayahudi, bamukubitira imbere y’urukiko. Ariko Galiyo ntiyabyitaho na busa.

Pawulo asubira Antiyokiya

18 Pawulo yamaze indi minsi myinshi i Korinti. Hanyuma asezera ku bavandimwe, afata ubwato agana muri Siriya, ari kumwe na Purisila na Akwila. Atarava i Kenkireya abanza kwiyogoshesha, kubera umuhigo yahize.

19 Bageze Efezi Pawulo ahasiga Purisila na Akwila, we yinjira mu rusengero ajya impaka n’Abayahudi.

20 Bamusaba kuhatinda ntiyabakundira,

21 ahubwo abasezeraho ati: “Imana nibishaka muzabona ngarutse.”

Nuko afata ubwato ava Efezi.

22 Ageze i Kayizariya ava mu bwato, ajya kuramutsa ab’itorero rya Kristo ry’i Yeruzalemu, hanyuma ajya Antiyokiya.

Pawulo atangira urugendo rwa gatatu

23 Ahamaze igihe arahava akomeza urugendo, anyura mu ntara za Galati na Furujiya, akomeza abigishwa ba Kristo bose.

Apolo ari Efezi n’i Korinti

24 Icyo gihe Umuyahudi witwa Apolo ukomoka Alegisanderiya, yageze Efezi. Yari umugabo uzi kuvuga akaba n’umuhanga mu Byanditswe.

25 Yari yarigishijwe Inzira ya Nyagasanikandi akavuga ibyerekeye Yezu, akabyigisha uko biri ahimbawe ari mu birere. Nyamara kandi yari asobanukiwe gusa ibyerekeye ukubatiza kwa Yohani.

26 Apolo uwo atangira kuvugira mu rusengero ashize amanga. Purisila na Akwila bamaze kumwumva bamujyana imuhira, maze bamusobanurira inzira y’Imana kugira ngo arusheho kuyimenya neza.

27 Hanyuma igihe Apolo yiyemeje kujya muri Akaya, abavandimwe bo mu mujyi wa Efezi bamuteye inkunga, bandikira abigishwa ba Kristo bo muri Akaya ngo bazamwakire neza. Agezeyo agirira akamaro kenshi abemeye Yezu babikesha ubuntu bw’Imana.

28 Yagishaga Abayahudi impaka mu ruhame akabatsinda, atanga Ibyanditswe ho umugabo yuko Yezu ari Kristo.

Pawulo mu mujyi wa Efezi

1 Igihe Apolo yari i Korinti Pawulo anyura mu gihugu rwagati, maze agera Efezi ahasanga bamwe mu bigishwa ba Kristo.

2 Ni ko kubabaza ati: “Mbese mwahawe Mwuka Muziranenge igihe mwemeraga Yezu?”

Baramusubiza bati: “Uretse kumuhabwa, habe ngo twigeze no kumva ko Mwuka Muziranenge abaho!”

3 Pawulo ni ko kubabaza ati: “Mwabatijwe mute?”

Baramusubiza bati: “Twabatijwe uko Yohani yabatizaga.”

4 Pawulo ati: “Yohani yabatizaga ababaga bihannye bakareka ibyaha byabo, kandi akabwira Abisiraheli kwemera uwari ugiye kuzaza nyuma ye ari we Yezu.”

5 Bamaze kumva ibyo, ni ko kubatizwa mu izina rya Nyagasani Yezu.

6 Pawulo ngo abarambikeho ibiganza Mwuka Muziranenge ahita abazaho, ni bwo batangiye kuvuga indimi zindi no guhanura.

7 Abo bagabo bose bari nka cumi na babiri.

8 Pawulo ahamara amezi atatu, akajya yinjira mu rusengero akavuga ashize amanga, ajya impaka n’abantu abemeza ibyerekeye ubwami bw’Imana.

9 Ariko bamwe muri bo barinangira banga kumvira, basebereza Inzira ya Nyagasani imbere y’iyo mbaga nyamwinshi. Nuko Pawulo abavamo ajyana n’abigishwa ba Kristo, maze buri munsi akigishiriza mu ishuri rya Tirano.

10 Amara imyaka ibiri abigenza atyo, ku buryo Abayahudi n’abatari Abayahudi bose bari batuye mu ntara ya Aziya, bumvise Ijambo rya Nyagasani.

Abahungu ba Seva

11 Imana yakoreshaga Pawulo ibitangaza bihambaye.

12 Ndetse n’udutambaro cyangwa imyenda byabaga byarakoze ku mubiri we iyo byakozwaga ku barwayi, bakiraga indwara zabo n’ingabo za Satani zibarimo zikamenengana.

13 Hari Abayahudi bamwe bari bafite akamenyero ko kugenda igihugu bamenesha ingabo za Satani mu bantu. Na bo bagerageza kuzimenesha bakoresheje izina rya Yezu, buri wese akazibwira ati: “Mu izina rya Yezu uwo Pawulo agenda atangaza, mbategetse kuva muri uwo murwayi.”

14 Abagenzaga batyo ni abahungu barindwi ba Seva, wari Umutambyi mukuru w’Abayahudi.

15 Nyamara ingabo ya Satani irabasubiza iti: “Yezu ndamuzi na Pawulo nzi uwo ari we, ariko se mwe muri ba nde?”

16 Nuko uwo muntu wari uhanzweho arabasimbukira, abarusha amaboko bose arabanesha, arabahondagura kugeza ubwo baturumbutse mu nzu ye barahunga, batumbuje kandi bavirirana.

17 Abayahudi n’abatari Abayahudi bari batuye Efezi babimenye bashya ubwoba bose, maze Nyagasani Yezu arogera.

18 Nuko benshi mu bari bamaze kwemera Yezu baraza, barerura bemera ku mugaragaro ibyaha bakoze.

19 Abakoraga iby’ubupfumu batari bake bakoranya ibitabo byabo, maze babitwikira imbere ya rubanda. Babaze agaciro k’ikiguzi cy’ibyo bitabo, basanga gahwanye n’igihembo cy’imibyizi ibihumbi mirongo itanu.

20 Bityo inkuru za Nyagasani zikomeza kwamamara n’imbaraga, zirahama.

Imvururu mu mujyi wa Efezi

21 Nyuma y’ibyo Pawulo ayobowe na Mwuka yiyemeza kujya i Yeruzalemu, anyuze muri Masedoniya no muri Akaya. Ni bwo avuze ati: “Nimara kugerayo nzaba nkwiriye no kugera i Roma.”

22 Nuko yohereza muri Masedoniya babiri mu bafasha be Timoteyo na Erasito, ariko we asigara akanya mu ntara ya Aziya.

23 Icyo gihe ni bwo mu mujyi wa Efezi habyutse imvururu zitoroshye kubera Inzira ya Nyagasani.

24 Hari umucuzi witwa Demeteriyo, wacuraga mu ifeza udushusho tw’ingoro y’imanakazi Aritemi. Uwo mwuga wari umukungahaje we n’abo bakoranaga.

25 Ni bwo akoranyije abo bakozi n’abandi bakoraga bene uwo mwuga, arababwira ati: “Mwa bagabo mwe, muzi yuko amaronko yacu ava muri ubu bucuruzi.

26 None muriyumvira kandi mukirebera ibyo Pawulo uriya avuga, ngo imana zakozwe n’abantu si imana na gato! Ni na ko yemeje rubanda nyamwinshi akabayobya, atari ino Efezi gusa ahubwo no mu ntara ya Aziya hafi ya hose.

27 Ibyago si uko ubucuruzi bwacu bwahinyuka gusa, ahubwo ndetse n’ingoro y’imanakazi yacu ikomeye Aritemi yata agaciro, na yo ubwayo igasuzugurika kandi ari yo isengwa n’abo muri Aziya kimwe n’abo ku isi yose.”

28 Abantu babyumvise bahita barakara cyane, barangurura amajwi bati: “Aritemi y’Abanyefezi iraganje!”

29 Umujyi wose uravurungana, igitero gisumira Gayo na Arisitariko, abagabo babiri bo muri Masedoniya bagendanaga na Pawulo, kibakurubana kibaganisha mu kibuga cy’ikinamico.

30 Pawulo na we yashakaga kwiroha muri icyo kivunge, ariko abigishwa ba Kristo ntibamukundira.

31 Ndetse na bamwe bo mu bategetsi b’incuti ze bamutumaho, bamusaba kudahinguka ku kibuga.

32 Ikoraniro riravurungana, bose barasakabaka umwe avuga ibye undi ibye, ndetse abenshi mu bari aho ntibari bazi impamvu ibakoranyije.

33 Abayahudi batambutsa uwitwa Alegisanderi, bamaze kumutekerera ibyo ari buvuge. Nuko arambura ukuboko ngo abacecekeshe, abone kugira icyo asobanurira rubanda.

34 Bamenye ko ari Umuyahudi, bavugira icyarimwe barangurura amajwi bati: “Aritemi y’Abanyefezi iraganje!” Bamara amasaha abiri basakuza batyo.

35 Umunyamabanga w’umujyi amaze kubacecekesha, ahita abwira rubanda ati: “Yemwe Banyefezi, ni nde utazi ko umujyi wacu wa Efezi ari wo murinzi w’ingoro y’imanakazi Aritemi, n’uw’ishusho yayo yamanutse mu ijuru?

36 Nta muntu n’umwe wabasha kubihakana. Kubera iyo mpamvu mugomba gutuza mukareka guhubuka.

37 Erega mwazanye hano aba bantu batarigeze basahura ingoro, cyangwa ngo batuke imanakazi yacu!

38 Niba rero Demeteriyo na bagenzi be bafite uwo barega, inkiko ziriho n’abacamanza ntibabuze, aho ni ho bagomba kuburanira.

39 Niba hari n’ikindi mufite kubaza kizatunganywa n’inama rusange,

40 kuko ibyabaye uyu munsi byatuma turegwa ubugome. Mwumve namwe ko iyi midugararo idafite ishingiro, none se twakwireguza iki?”

41 Amaze kuvuga atyo asezerera iyo mbaga.

Pawulo asubira muri Masedoniya no mu Bugereki

1 Iyo midugaruro irangiye Pawulo akoranya abigishwa ba Kristo, abarema umutima maze abasezeraho yerekeza muri Masedoniya.

2 Agenderera uturere twose tw’iyo ntara, abwira abantu amagambo menshi yo kubakomeza. Hanyuma agera mu Bugereki

3 ahamara amezi atatu. Igihe ashatse gufata ubwato ngo ajye muri Siriya, atahura ko Abayahudi bafite imigambi yo kumugirira nabi, ni bwo yiyemeje guhindukira ngo anyure muri Masedoniya.

4 Sopateri mwene Piro w’i Beroya aramuherekeza, kimwe na Arisitariko na Sekundo b’i Tesaloniki, na Gayo w’i Derube na Timoteyo, kandi yari aherekejwe na Tukiko na Tirofimo bo muri Aziya.

5 Abo baratubanjirije badutegerereza i Tirowa.

6 Naho twe iminsi mikuru y’imigati idasembuye irangiye dufatira ubwato i Filipi, maze nyuma y’iminsi itatu tubasanga i Tirowa tuhamara iminsi irindwi.

Pawulo asezera ku bavandimwe b’i Tirowa

7 Buri bucye ari icyumweru ari wo munsi wa mbere, duteranira hamwe kugira ngo dusangire. Pawulo wari uraye ari bugende yigisha abavandimwe, akomeza no kuganira na bo ageza mu gicuku.

8 Mu cyumba cyo mu nzu yo hejuru twari dukoraniyemo hakaga amatara menshi.

9 Umusore umwe witwa Utiko yari yicaye mu idirishya igihe Pawulo yigishaga, bishyize kera uwo musore arahunyiza maze ibitotsi biramutwara, ahanuka mu nzu y’igorofa ya gatatu yidimba hasi bahararura uwapfuye.

10 Pawulo aramanuka amwubararaho, amufata mu maboko aravuga ati: “Mwikuka umutima ni muzima!”

11 Birangiye Pawulo asubira mu igorofa afata umugati, arawumanyura arafungura. Akomeza kwigisha burinda bucya maze aragenda.

12 Naho uwo musore bamujyana imuhira ari mutaraga, amahoro ari yose.

Pawulo yerekeza i Mileto

13 Twe dufata ubwatotugenda mbere ya Pawulo twerekeza ahitwa Aso, aho twajyaga kumuvana. Yari ateganyije kujyayo anyuze inzira y’ubutaka.

14 Nuko adusanze Aso tumushyira mu bwato, tujyana i Mitulene.

15 Bukeye turahava tugera ahateganye n’ikirwa cyitwa Kiyo. Ku munsi ukurikiyeho turambuka tugera i Samo, maze bukeye bwaho tugera i Mileto.

16 Pawulo yari yaragennye gukomezanya n’ubwato atanyuze Efezi, kugira ngo adatinda muri Aziya. Yari afite ubwira bwo kugera i Yeruzalemu, kugira ngo bishobotse yizihirizeyo umunsi mukuru wa Pentekote.

Pawulo asezera ku bakuru b’itorero rya Efezi

17 Pawulo ari i Mileto atumiza abakuru b’itorero rya Kristo rya Efezi.

18 Bamugezeho arababwira ati: “Muzi uko nabanye namwe igihe cyose kuva nagera muri Aziya.

19 Nakoreye Nyagasani niyoroshya ku buryo bwose, mu marira no mu bigeragezo naterwaga n’ubugambanyi bw’Abayahudi.

20 Nta cyo nabakinze mu byo nagombaga kubabwira byabagirira akamaro, byose narabibamenyesheje mbigishiriza mu ruhame no mu ngo zanyu.

21 Nihanangirije Abayahudi n’abatari Abayahudi ko bakwiriye kwihana bakagarukira Imana, kandi bakemera Umwami wacu Yezu.

22 None ubu ngiye i Yeruzalemu mpaswe na Mwuka, ibizambaho ngezeyo simbizi.

23 Icyakora muri buri mujyi, Mwuka Muziranenge agenda anyemeza ko ingoyi n’amakuba bintegererejeyo.

24 Nyamara ku bwanjye nta cyo bimbwira kubaho cyangwa gupfa, icya ngombwa ni ugushyika aho dusiganirwa kugera, nkanonosora umurimo nahawe na Nyagasani Yezu, ari wo gutangaza Ubutumwa bwiza bw’ubuntu Imana igira.

25 “Nagenze muri mwe ntangaza ibyerekeye ubwami bw’Imana, ariko ubu nzi yuko nta n’umwe muri mwe uzongera kunca iryera.

26 Ni cyo gitumye uyu munsi mbemeza ko ndi umwere, nta maraso y’umuntu uwo ari we wese ambarwaho,

27 kuko nta cyo nabakinze cyerekeye imigambi yose y’Imana ngo ndeke kukibamenyesha.

28 Mwite ku mibereho yanyu no ku y’umukumbi wose mwaragijwe na Mwuka Muziranenge. Muragire itorero ry’Imana yaguze amaraso y’Umwana wayo.

29 Nzi yuko nimara kugenda impyisi z’ibirura zizabageramo, ntizibabarire umukumbi w’Imana.

30 No muri mwe ubwanyu hazaduka abantu bavuga ibifutamye, kugira ngo bayobye abigishwa ba Kristo babigarurire.

31 Murabe maso rero kandi mwibuke ko namaze imyaka itatu, ijoro n’amanywa ndatuza kuburira umuntu wese muri mwe, birimo n’amarira.

32 “Ubu rero mbaragije Nyagasani n’inyigisho zerekeye ubuntu bwe. Ni we ufite ububasha bwo kububaka ubugingo, no kubaha ku munani yabikiye abantu bose yagize intore ze.

33 Nta kintu cy’umuntu wese nigeze ndarikira, cyaba ifeza cyangwa izahabu cyangwa umwambaro.

34 Namwe ubwanyu muzi ko ari aya maboko nakoresheje kugira ngo nimare ubukene, mbumare n’abo twari kumwe.

35 Mu byo nakoze byose naberetse ko tugomba gushishikara dutyo, kugira ngo tugoboke abatishoboye twibuka ibyo Nyagasani Yezu yavuze ati: ‘Gutanga kuzana ihirwe kuruta guhabwa’ ”.

36 Pawulo amaze kuvuga atyo, we n’abo bari kumwe bose barapfukama, arasenga.

37 Bose baraturika bararira, bamugwa ku ijosi baramusoma.

38 Icyabashenguraga cyane ni uko yababwiye ko batazongera kumuca iryera. Nuko baramuherekeza bamugeza ku bwato.
