Awatumwa 19:8-36

⁸Paulo yaweera eyo ku emienzi isatu. Ni yawanga eyo yalanzizia awantu amangʼana no owusiani mu *esinagoogi na aikululana nawo mu amangʼana na agala okuwareeta mu okuganya ku *Owuami owua Katonda.

⁹No olwa yawona ne emioyo egia *Awayaudi wandi giri emikalu okuganya, kandi na Awayaudi awo wagamba-gamba uwiiwi ku okuganya ku *Omwami Yesu emberi wa awantu, Paulo yafuma na awalonzi agia nawo Tairaano, mu enyumba eya owugerezi omwa yagereranga awantu owuire ki owuire.

¹⁰Paulo yawalanzizia otio ku emiaka iwiri nawuno Awayaudi na awatari Awayaudi woona awari mu ekialo ekia *Eesia waawurra amangʼana aga Katonda.

¹¹Katonda yakola amankono agaluguulwa okuwitra ku Paulo.

¹²Ewitambaaya namba ewiraka ewia Paulo yawanga na akorre nawio ni wiairrwanga awalwire, awalwire awo waalamanga kandi *ewikeeno wiawafumangako.

¹³Wario Awayaudi awaagenda-gendanga mu ewitemo ni wafumia ewikeeno ku awantu. Woona waageezaania okukola ne eriina eria Omwami Yesu okukola emirimo egio. Waalaganga ewikeeno otino, “Ku eriina eria Omwami Yesu owa Paulo alanzia, nkusikirra mbwe fuma.”

¹⁴Awazia musamvu awa Sekeewa, Omukangasi owa *awoozia awa Awayaudi, waakolanga ekintu ekio.

¹⁵Ni nyanga ekikeeno kiawairania kitino, “Yesu tumumanyire, Paulo oona tumanyire. Ni inywe muri waawu anu?”

¹⁶Omuntu owawanga ne ekikeeno oyo yagia awakira na amaani awagwako ne ewikube, awakuba nawuno warumuka wafuma mu enyumba kikuna kikidi wareka enguwo ziawu ewikube ni wiwakorreko erioga. Emiwiri giawu giawanga ni gikorre amasaai amasa.

¹⁷Olwa awantu woona awamenyere Efeeso, Awayaudi na Awagiriiki, waawurra amangʼana ago, owuti wuawa-amba ino kandi eriina eria Omwami Yesu riaeewua owuti ino.

¹⁸Awantu awangi waaganya ku Yesu, waaganya amawi gaawu emberi wa awantu kandi waawoola ne eminwa giawu aweene ewintu ewiwiiwi ewia waakolanga owuiwisi.

¹⁹Awantu awangi awaakolanga owulaguzi ni ilogo waareeta ebuuki ezia emirimo giawu alala, wasamba emberi wa awantu. Olwa waata alala iguzi eria ebuuki ezio ziona, ziasuga efeedha elufu amakumi ataanu.

²⁰Mu engira eno, amangʼana aga Katonda gaasonga okuilanzia na amaani ino.

²¹Ni wino wiona wiamala okuikola, Paulo yakenga mu omwoyo mbwe awitre Makedoonia na Akaaya na agia Yerusaleemu. Kandi mbwe na aema Yerusaleemu, paka agie Rooma.

²²Kutio yatuma Timotheeo ne Erasto, awandi ku awantu awaamutunzianga emirimo mbwe wakangate wagie Makedoonia, iye na akiasigaaleko wutono mu ekialo ekia Eesia.

²³Mu iwaga erio, erioga riafuma Efeeso inene ino ku amangʼana aga okulonda engira eya Omwami Yesu Kristo.

²⁴Omuntu wundi owaetwanga mbwe Demetriasi omutuzi owa efeedha, yareetranga awemirimo waae amasendi amangi ino mu emirimo egia okulonga emifwano egia *ekaalu eya *Ateemi, katonda ensaasa.

²⁵Kutio yaeta awemirimo waae alala na awandi awaakolanga nae emirimo emifwanani awalaga otino, “Awiiko wange, nyingirizia mbwe mumanyire mbwe owunyazi wuifu wuema ku emirimo giifu gino.

²⁶Ni mumiire okuwurra kandi mumiire okuwona na amiiso giinyu aweene kiomo omuntu oetwa mbwe Paulo ono amiire okugamba-gambra awantu awa mu ekitemo kiifu kino, mboole mbwe ampi ekialo kiona ekia Eesia, na awagalusia ni isema na awoola mbwe katonda ezilongerwe na amakono ziwula emirimo.

²⁷Kutio ekirio ngʼani mbwe emirimo giifu nigio egiiza okuwa ne eriina iwiiwi giengʼene, ne eriina ilootu eria ekaalu eya Ateemi riona riiza okuoneka, kandi katonda enkazi Ateemi omwene, osawua mu ekialo ekia Eesia ni mu ekialo kiona, oona aaza okuwula eriina.”

²⁸Olwa awantu awo waawurra amangʼana ago, enda ziawu ziayia ino kandi waatanika okukuba erioga ni watondowola Ateemi watino, “Ateemi owa Awaefeeso ari omukaate!”

²⁹Erioga riafuma eriaizula omugizi du. Ni kukiari, awantu awo waavwamira Gaayo na Aristakuusi Awamakedoonia awaagenda-gendanga ni Paulo, wawakulula ni wawaira mu enyumba eya okuikumia.

³⁰Paulo yagalanga okugia okugamba-gamba nawo, na Awakristo awaawanga ao waamugaania.

³¹Awandi ku awakangasi awa ekitemo awaawanga awiiko waae, woona wamutumra *omutumwa ni wamuisasaama mbwe ataaza yagia mu okuikumia okwo.

³²Ni kukawa mbwe awantu awo waawanga awangi, no owungi wuawu ngawakawanga ni wamanyire ekiikola, aeniki awantu awo ngawakawanga no omunwa omulala. Na awandi ku iwo waawoolanga kino, awandi waawoolanga ekindi ekisaasa.

³³Awayaudi wandi waasindika omuntu oetwa mbwe Aleksanda emberi wa awantu kugere agambe-gambe nawo. Kutio Aleksanda yaoreezia awantu na amakono gaae mbwe wasarigire.

³⁴No olwa awantu waamanya mbwe Aleksanda no Omuyaudi, waaogerera ku enyinga iwiri ziona, ni watondowola Ateemi katonda waawu. Waaogerera ni wawoola watino, “Ateemi owa Awaefeeso ari omukaate!”

³⁵Owutuukre, omukangasi owa omugizi ogwo yaoreezia awantu na awalaga otino, “Awiifu mbawuuzia ntino, ekialo kiona ngakimanyire mbwe omugizi ogwa Efeeso nigwo ogurindre ekaalu enene eya omunene Ateemi? Nakuwa omufwano gwae ogwagwa ansi ni guema ku igulu ngaguri ano?

³⁶Kutio, aeniki mumanyire mbwe kuri kutio kandi awulao olowa, musugaane musarigire kandi mutaazakana okukola ekintu ekiwiiwi.
