Okutaataana kw'Abakristaayo ahabw'okuhiigwa
1Kandi Saulo akasiima okwitwa kwe. Aha izooba eryo baatandika kuhiiga munonga ekanisa y'omuri Yerusaalemu; boona baataataanira omu byanga bya Buyudaaya na Samaria, okwihaho entumwa zonka.2Abashaija abarikutiina Ruhanga baaziika Stefano, baamucurira munonga.3Kwonka Saulo we yaaguma naashiisha ekanisa, naataaha omuri buri nju, naakwata abashaija n'abakazi, naabata omu kihome.Filipo okuza Samaria
4N'ahabw'ekyo abaataataine baagyenda hoona nibabuurira ekigambo.5Filipo yaashuuma, yaaza omu rurembo rwa Samaria, yaababuurira Kristo.6Emitwe mingi y'abantu, ku baabaire bahurira ebi Filipo arikugamba, baareeba obumanyiso obu arikukora, baabiikiriza n'omutima gumwe.7Ahabw'okuba baingi aharibo abaabaire bariho baadaimoni, baadaimoni bakaba babarugaho nibaamuza munonga; kandi baingi abaabaire bazingazingirwe, n'abaremaire, bakizibwa.8Haabaho okushemererwa kwingi omu rurembo orwo.Ebya Simooni omufumu
9Kandi hakaba hariho omushaija orikwetwa Simooni, owaabaire akora eby'obufumu omu rurembo orwo, naatangaaza eihanga ry'Abasamaria, naayeyeta omuntu mukuru.10Abantu boona, okuruga aha muto okuhika aha mukuru, bakaba bamutiina, nibagira bati: Omushaija ogu niwe maani ga Ruhanga ageetwa Rugambwa.11Bakaba bamutiina, ahabw'okuba akaba amazire omwanya muhango naabatangaaza n'obufumu bwe.12Kwonka ku baikiriize Filipo owaababuuriire ebigambo birungi eby'obukama bwa Ruhanga n'eiziina rya Yesu Kristo, baabatizibwa, abashaija n'abakazi.13Kandi Simooni nawe yaikiriza; ku yaaherize kubatizibwa, yaaguma na Filipo; ku yaareebire naakora obumanyiso n'eby'okutangaaza bikuru, yaatangaara munonga.14Kandi entumwa ezaabaire ziri Yerusaalemu, ku zaahuriire ngu aba Samaria baikiriize ekigambo kya Ruhanga, zaabatumaho Petero na Yohaana.15Nabo, ku baahikireyo, baabashabira ngu baheebwe Omwoyo Orikwera;16ahakuba Omwoyo akaba atakaizire aha muntu weena omuribo, kureka bakaba babatiziibwe omu iziina rya Mukama waitu Yesu.17Ahonaaho Petero na Yohaana baabataho engaro, baaheebwa Omwoyo Orikwera.18Simooni, ku yaareebire baaheebwa Omwoyo Orikwera ahabw'okuteebwaho engaro z'entumwa, yaazireetera empiiha,19naagira ati: Naanye mumpe amaani aga, weena ou ndaateho engaro aheebwe Omwoyo Orikwera.20Kwonka Petero yaamugarukamu ati: Efeeza yaawe ebure naiwe, ahabw'okuba waateekateeka kugura ekiconco kya Ruhanga n'empiiha.21Toine mugabo n'obu kwakuba okukwatanisa naitwe omu kigambo eki; ahabw'okuba omutima gwawe tiguri gye mu maisho ga Ruhanga.22N'ahabw'ekyo oyeteise obubi bwawe obu, oshabe Mukama, shana akaakusaasira ekiteekateeko ky'omu mutima gwawe.23Nindeeba ku ori omu ndurwe erikushaarira n'omu nkomo z'obubi.24Simooni yaagarukamu naagira ati: Munshabire ahari Mukama, byona ebi mwagamba bitampikaho.25Bwanyima entumwa, ku zaaherize kuhamya ekigambo kya Mukama n'okukigamba, zaagaruka Yerusaalemu, nizibuurira engiri omu birorero bingi eby'Abasamaria.Okuhinduka kw'Omunyesiopia omukonwa
26Maraika wa Mukama yaagambira Filipo ati: Imuka ogyende, otoore omuhanda gw'eihamba ogw'obukiizi-bwa-buryo ogurikushuuma, okuruga Yerusaalemu okuhika Gaaza.27Yaimuka, yaagyenda. Kandi hakaba hariho omushaija omukonwa owa Esiopia, ow'obushoboorozi bwingi, obu yaahairwe Kandake, omugabekazi wa Esiopia, owaabaire ari omubiiki w'ebintu bye byona; ogwo akaba agiire Yerusaalemu kuramya.28Ku yaabaire naagaruka owaabo, ashutami omu kigaari kye, naashoma ekitabo kya nabi Isaaya,29Omwoyo yaagambira Filipo, ati: Hika ekigaari kiriya, ogyende nakyo.30Filipo yairuka, yaamuhika, yaahurira naashoma omu kitabo kya nabi Isaaya, yaamubuuza ati: Nooshoborokyerwa ebi orikushoma?31Yaamugarukamu ati: Nimbaasa nta, ntaine w'okunshobororera? Yaashaba Filipo ngu atembe omu kigaari, ashutame nawe.32Kandi ekicweka eky'omu Byahandiikirwe eki yaabaire naashoma, kikaba kiri eki ngu:Akatwarwa kwitwa nk'entaama,Kandi nk'omwana gw'entaama oku gucureera omu maisho g'omukyemuzi waagwo,Nikwo ataraashamize kanwa ke.33Omu kugarurwa ahansi kwe bakamwitira orubanja;Oruganda rwe n'oha orirushoboorora?Ahakuba amagara ge gakaihwa omu nsi.34Omukonwa yaabuuza Filipo naagira ati: Ninkushaba onshobororere, nabi ogwo akagamba ahari oha? Akeegambaho, nari akagamba aha muntu ondiijo?35Filipo yaatandika kugamba naihirira aha Byahandiikirwe ebyo, yaamugambira ebya Yesu.36Ku baabaire nibakigyenda, baahika aha maizi; omukonwa yaagira ati: Reeba, amaizi ngaga! Ekirikunzibira kubatizibwa niki?37Filipo yaamugira ati: Ku oraabe waikiriza n'omutima gwawe gwona, nikibaasika. Yaagarukamu ati: Niinyikiriza ku Yesu Kristo ari Omwana wa Ruhanga.38Atyo yaaragiira ku beemereza ekigaari; bombi Filipo n'omukonwa baashuuma omu maizi; yaamubatiza.39Ku baarugire omu maizi, Omwoyo wa Mukama yaatwara Filipo, omukonwa tiyaagaruka kumureeba; kureka yaagumizamu, yaagyenda ashemereirwe.40Kwonka Filipo we yaashangwa Azooto; bwanyima yaagyenda naabuurira engiri omuri tauni zoona okuhitsya obu yaahikire Kaisarea.Bible Society of Uganda
