Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Ebuuki eno egamba-gamba ku owulamu ne emirimo egia Yesu. Awantu awangi waingirizia mbwe yajojwa no *Omutumwa Mathaayo, oetwa ne eriina rindi mbwe Laawi, owawanga omusolozi owa *omusolo. Eno nie ebuuki eyasooka okujojwa agati eya emiaka egia 40–50, ku ebuuki ine ezietwa mbwe ‘*Injiili,’ ezigingre Mariiko, Luuka ni Yowaana. Kufwanana mbwe yajojwa mu Oluibrania (nakuwa Oluaramaika) nikwo egalusiwua mu Olugiriiki. Aeniki, kiomo ejojerwe kandi amaingirizio agarimo gari ampi na aga Awaibrania aeniki yajojerwa *Awayaudi. Mathaayo asikirra Awayaudi mbwe kuwuene Yesu ngakaona *ensikirra, ne engerera ziae ziawanga empia ni zigeraniwua ne enkola ziawu mala kiomo kwalaganiwua mu *Endagano Enkulu. Ni Yesu yatuusia owugambi wuona owuagambwa mu ebuuki itaanu ezia ensikirra ezisookere mu Endagano Enkulu. Yaganya no okuagala okwa ensikirra, ni alowa ewintu ewingi ewiasongwa ku ensikirra eyo ni kuema ku enkola ziawu. Lwona yalowa engira embiiwi eya *Awafarisaayo na *awagerezi awa endagirra waakolanga nayo ne ensikirra. Mathaayo alondorezia owulamu owua Yesu okuemera mu okuiwulwa kwae, okufwa kwae, okuziuka kwae no okuguluka kwae na agia ku igulu. Mu ewintu wino wiona alagana kiomo engerera ezia Yesu zigawukana ne ezia Awafarisaayo na awagerezi awa endagirra nikulondokana ne ekia omuntu akakola kugere aingiziwue ni Katonda. Yesu aeta engerera ziae zino mbwe edivaai empia etaesa okuteewua mu ekimuga ekilongerwe ni iseero ikulu. Agamba-gamba kuwungi ku *Owuami owua Katonda (owua Mathaayo aeta mbwe *Owuami owua ku igulu) mu eminayo, engero, ne engerera ziazio, alala ne entuuko eya ekialo.

Mu ebuuki eno Mathaayo yaagalanga okulagana mbwe Yesu nio owagamba-gambwako mu owugambi owuri mu Endagano Enkulu mbwe aaza okuomboka owuami owua Daudi. Kutio, Yesu amanyisiwua ki omuizukulu owa Omwami Daudi no omugaaka Abraamu. Mathaayo akola na amangʼana aga owugambi agaawoolwa mu Endagano Enkulu agagia 70, kugere alage Awayaudi mbwe Yesu nio *Meesia owa Katonda yawaifuuwira. Mathaayo akola na amangʼana aga Olugiriiki ki ‘*Kristo’ no Oluibrania ‘Meesia’ agalagana ‘omuntu *owakrwe amavuta’ ori Omwami, owa *awagambi waawoola. Yesu alaganiwua ngaki Omwami no Omununuzi waawu iwo wengʼene, ni owa awantu woona ne ekialo kiona. Yesu yaaza ku ekialo okutuusia owugambi wuno kiomo kwawanga okuagala okwa Katonda. Yesu aetwa ‘Omuzia’ okulagana mbwe ngari omuntu-umuntu, ni mbwe ari embonekano eya Katonda, ofwanana ni swae mu engira ziona. Mala kiomo tuetwa awaana awa Katonda okulagana mbwe twalukwa ni Katonda kandi tufwanana nae. Nintio lwona awantu awaganyire ku Yesu waetwa awaana awa Katonda aeniki wari awaae mu omwoyo.

Okuiwulwa okwa Yesu

18 Okuiwulwa okwa Yesu Kristo kwawa kutino: Kwatuukra ngʼinwae Maaria ni yawanga na amiire okukola empurizanio ni Yoseefu mbwe waaza okukwezana. Ni, ni waawanga ni wakiari okuwa owulala ki omukazi no omusaaza, Maaria yatuukrwa na ari ni isaai ku amaani aga *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda!* 19 Yoseefu, owaagianga okuwa omusaaza owa Maaria, yawanga omuntu omuigolovu. Lwona ngakaagalanga okufumia Maaria enze asuuke emberi wa awantu.‡ Kutio yawisia okumuiiyako enkumu arekane nae owuiwisi. 20 Ni ni yawanga na akiaingirizia okukola otio, *enyankoi owa Katonda yamuuzra mu amalooto na agona, amulaga otino, “Yoseefu omuzia owa Daudi, otatia okutoola Maaria awe omukazi waao, aeniki isaai eria ari nario rimuemiire ku Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda. 21 Maaria aaza okuiwula omwana owekizia, kandi paka omuluke eriina Yesu,§ aeniki aaza okununula awaawu mu amawi gaawu.”*

22 Wino wiona wiaikola okutuusia amangʼana aga *Omwami Katonda yawoola ni kuwita ku *omugambi waae otino: 23 “Omwala omugima aaza okuamba isaai aiwule omwana owekizia. Waaza okumueta eriina Emanueli”† — erilagana mbwe, “Katonda ari ni ifwe.”

24 Olwa Yoseefu yalamuka mu endoolo, yakola kiomo enyankoi yamulaga mala atoola Maaria aira engo, awa omukazi waae. 25 Ni kukawa kutio, ngakawa nae owulala ki omukazi no omusaaza nawuno Maaria yaigawula areeta omwana owekizia. Kandi Yoseefu yamuluka eriina Yesu.*

Awaganga awa ewufumanyanga waazre oku-aa Yesu owunene

1 Yesu yaiwulwa ku omugizi ogwa Bethleemu mu ekialo ekia Yudeea. Mu amiire ago, Omwami *Eroode nio owawanga ku entewe. Nikuemao otino, wario awantu awaaza ku omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu ni waema mu ewialo ewia ewufumanyanga. Awantu wano waaesanga okusoma engʼeni-ngʼeni kandi wamanya ekia zilagana.* 2 Waawuuzia otino, “Ariai omwana oiwuulwe okuwa omwami owa *Awayaudi? Twawona engʼeni-ngʼeni elagana okuiwulwa kwae ewufumanyanga, kandi wuno tuuzre okumuifunamira tumu-ee owunene.”*

3 Olwa Omwami Eroode yawurra ekingʼana kino, iye alala na awantu awangi mu omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu, waawa no okuinyaasia ino mu emioyo giawu. 4 Yaeta awakangasi awa *awoozia alala na *awagerezi awa endagirra woona wamuuzako. Yawawuuzia aa *Kristo yasugananga aiwulwe. 5 Waamulaga mbwe, “Bethleemu mu ekialo ekia Yudeea, aeniki kino nikio ekia *omugambi owa Katonda omulala yajoja:

6 “Ni iwue Bethleemu omugizi oguri mu ekialo ekia Yuuda,

ngori omutono ino okukira awaami awa Yuuda woona

kiomo awangi wamiire okuwa ni wakuwona yaaya;

aeniki ni iwue omwami ooza okuaaya awantu wange Awaisraeli aaza okuemako.”†*

7 Nikuemao, Eroode yaeta awasomi awa engʼeni-ngʼeni waria owuiwisi, awaamulaga enyinga ezia engʼeni-ngʼeni eria yafumiramo. 8 Eroode yawatuma wagie Bethleemu na awalaga otino, “Mugie muagale omwana oyo geeza. Ni, ni mumutuukiire-utuukra otino, munkubre omunwa kugere neena ngie muifunamire mu-ee owunene.”

9-10 Olwa waamala okuwurra amangʼana aga Omwami Eroode, waafuma okugia emberi no olugendo lwawu. Kandi engʼeni-ngʼeni eya waawona ewufumanyanga eria yawafumira kandi. Olwa waagiwona, waawa no owusangaavu ino. Yawakangatra nawuno egia eidengʼa aa aiwariire ni aa omwana Yesu yawanga. 11 Olwa waaingira mu enyumba, waawona omwana wazane ni ngʼinwae Maaria. Woona waaifunama ansi wa-aa omwana Yesu owunene. Nikuemao, waaigula ewia owuwiikro wiawu, wafumiamo empanwa endootu-ndootu ezia igula eriri kungulu kiomo edhaabu, epooda ewunya esaami, alala na amavuta agawunya esaami agaetwa mbwe mane-maane, wa-aa omwana Yesu.* 12 Awantu wano, olwa waagonanga owuire, waasikirrwa mu amalooto mbwe wataaza wairana ku Eroode. Okwo kwagera wairana mu ekialo kiawu, ni walondre engira indi.*

Yesu airwa Misiri okumizula olumbe

13 Olwa waamala okugia, *enyankoi yafumira Yoseefu mu amalooto na amulaga otino, “Ema, otoole omwana ono ni ngʼinwae orumuke ogie mu ekialo ekia Misiri. Gia oweere eyo nawuno nkulage, aeniki Eroode aaza okuagarizia omwana ono amuite.”

14 Kutio Yoseefu yaema atoola omwana ni ngʼinwae afuma nawo owuire okugia Misiri 15 aa yaweera nawuno Eroode afwa. Kutio amangʼana aga *Omwami Katonda yawoola ni kuwitra ku omugambi waae mbwe, “Nyiza okueta omuzia wange aeme Misiri”† gaatuuka kuwuene.

16 Eroode yagia amanya mbwe awasomi awa engʼeni-ngʼeni waria, waalowa okukola okuagala kwae. Okwo kwagera enda yaae yayia ino. Yasikirra mbwe awaana awekizia woona mu omugizi ogwa Bethleemu alala ne ewitemo ewiri ampi, awa emiaka iwiri ni kuika ansi, nikulondokana ne enyinga ezia awantu awo waamulaga, waitwe!

17 Kuno kwatuusia amangʼana aga Omugambi Yeremia yawoola mbwe:

18 “Omwoyo guwurrwa Raama. Ee okurra ne enkweri enyingi.

Raeli arra awaana waae

kandi alowere okuoreziwua.

Aeniki awaana waae wafwire wawuere.”†

Yesu airaniziwua Nazareeti

19 Ne Eroode yamala okufwa, enyankoi owa Katonda yafumira Yoseefu mu amalooto, na ari Misiri. 20 Yamulaga otino, “Ema, otoole omwana ni ngʼinwae oirane mu ekialo ekia Israeli. Aeniki awaagalanga okuona owulamu owua omwana wafwire wawuere.”* 21 Kutio Yoseefu yaema atoola omwana oyo ni ngʼinwae airana mu ekialo ekia Israeli. 22 No olwa yawurra mbwe Akelaao yawanga ku entewe eya Eroode swae, yatia okugia eyo. Yagia ale mu ekitemo ekia Galiili, kiomo yasiagiziwua mu amalooto mbwe yasugananga akole. 23 Yagia amenya mu omugizi oguetwa mbwe Nazareeti. Kandi okwo kwatuusia amangʼana agaawoolwa na awagambi owa Katonda ku Kristo mbwe: “Arietwa Omunazareeti.”*

Yowaana Omubatiisi alonga engira

(Mari 1:1–8; Luuk 3:1–18; Yowa 1:19–28)

1 Ne emiaka emiera giamala okuwita, Yowaana Omubatiisi yatanika okulanzia mu ekeewa eya Yudeea 2 na awoola otino, “Mugaluke mureke amawi, aeniki *Owuami owua ku igulu wuri ampi.”* 3 Yowaana ono nio owa *Omugambi Isaaya yagamba-gambako olwa yawoola otino,

“Omwoyo ogwa omuntu oetana mu ekeewa mbwe,

‘Mulongre Omwami engira,

mumugololre engira ewe enyigolovu.’ ”†

4 Yowaana yawanga na aiwoya enguwo ezia owuvwiri owua engamia, kandi yasiwanga omukanda ogwa iseero mu ensinzi yaae. Okuria kwae kwawanga amadeede no owuuki owua mu isaka.* 5 Awantu waaema Yerusaleemu, Yudeea, alala ne ewitemo ewiri ampi no oluuzi olwa Yordaani wiona ni wamugiako. 6 Waawoola amawi gaawu owuyanga, nikwo Yowaana yawabatiisa mu oluuzi olwa Yordaani.

7 No olwa Yowaana yawona *Awafarisaayo na *Awasadukaayo ni wamuuzako aa yabatisanga, yawalaga otino, “Inywe awaana awa enzoka wano! Owasiagiizie mbwe mumizule okuswawukwa no okusu okungi okuuza naanu?* 8 Muamie ensaafu ezia mu enkola, ezilagana geeza mbwe omuntu agaluuke arekere amawi. 9 Ni mutaaza mwaingirizia mbwe muuza mwamizuka ku okuwoola-uwoola mbwe, ‘Turi geeza aeniki turi awaana awa Abraamu.’ Mbalaga mbwe Katonda aesa okugalusia amawaale gano gawe awaana awa Abraamu!* 10 Namba nyingeeno, embasa emiire okuteewua ku isina eria omuti; kandi omuti ki omuti oguta-amia ensaafu endootu guuza okutemwao nikwo gurigizwe mu omurro.*

11 “Inze mbabatiisa na amanzi, kiomo ekilago mbwe omuntu agaluuke arekere amawi. Na ario omuntu ooza enyima wange, ori omukaate okunkira, owa inze ngʼasugre namba okuginga ewiraato wiae. Iye aaza okubatiisa awantu no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda kandi no omurro.* 12 Ari ne ekiseeso kiae mu amakono, ekia aaza okuseesra amaemba mu olwanyi lwae. Emere aaza okuta mu ekiagi, na amakunzo aaza okusamba no omurro ogutazima.”

Yesu abatiisrwe na amanzi kandi no Omwoyo Omweru

(Mari 1:9–11; Luuk 3:21–22)

13 Nikuemao, Yesu yaema Galiili agia Yordaani okubatiiswa ni Yowaana. 14 Ni Yowaana yageezaania okumugaania na awoola otino, “Ni iwue osugaane ombatiise inze. Kuwa kutie mbwe onyizako mbwe nkubatiise?” 15 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Reka kuwe kutio nyingeeno, aeniki paka tutuusie okuagala okwa Katonda mu engira ziona.” Nikuemao Yowaana yaganya amubatiisa.* 16 Ni Yesu yamala okubatiiswa otino, yafuma mu amanzi kandi ku enyinga ezio, igulu riaiguka kandi yawona Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda na aika mu embonekano eya iemba-emba nawuno amugwirrako.* 17 Kandi omwoyo gwaema ku igulu ogwawoola otino, “Ono no Omuzia wange owa ngonziizie kandi owa nsangaarre nae.”*

Yesu ageezaaniwua ne Ekikeeno

(Mari 1:12–13; Luuk 4:1–13)

1 Nikuemao, *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yaira Yesu mu ekeewa okugia okugeezaniwua ne *Ekikeeno.* 2 Yasiwa okuria aa ataria ku amiire amakumi ane, owuire no omuwasu, kandi enzala katio yamurianga.* 3 Ekikeeno kiamuuzako kandi kimulaga otino, “No ori Omuzia owa Katonda, laga amawaale gano gagaluke gawe okuria.”

4 Yesu yakiirania otino, “Kujojrwe mu endagano mbwe: ‘Okuria kwengʼene ngakugera no omuntu awa omulamu, ni na amangʼana goona aga Katonda awoola.’† ”*

5 Nikuemao Ekikeeno kiamuira ku omugizi omweru ogwa Yerusaleemu, kimuemerezia asi aliire okukira ku enzizi eya *ekaalu. 6 Kiamulaga mbwe, “No ori Omuzia owa Katonda, guluka ansi, aeniki kujojerwe mu endagano mbwe: ‘Katonda aaza okusikirra *enyankoi waae wakurinde, kandi waaza okukuginga kungulu kugere otaguunya okugulu ku iwaale.’† ”

7 Yesu yakiirania otino, “Lwona kujojerwe mu endagano mbwe: ‘Otageezaania *Omwami Katonda waao.’† ”

8 Nikuemao, Ekikeeno kiaira Yesu ku ekigiri ekiliire ino, kimulaga ewialo ewia owuami wiona ewiri ku ekialo alala no owunyazi owurimo. 9 Kialaga Yesu mbwe, “Nyiza okuku-aa wino wiona, no onyifunamiire kandi ompe owunene.”

10 Yesu yakiirania otino, “Gia ale ni inze *Sataani! Aeniki kujojerwe mu endagano mbwe: ‘Ifunamira kandi o-ee Omwami Katonda waao engʼene owunene, kandi iye engʼene nio osugaane okorre.’† ”

11 Nikuemao Ekikeeno kiamureka, kandi enyankoi waaza wamutunzia.

Yesu atanika emirimo egia okulanzia amangʼana amalootu

(Mari 1:14–15; Luuk 4:14–15)

12 Olwa Yesu yawurra mbwe Yowaana Omubatiisi aingiziiwue mu owusiwe, yairana Galiili.* 13 Ngakamenya Nazareeti, ni yagia amenya Kapernaumu, omugizi ogwawanga ku ensanyaata eya omwalo, mu ewialo ewia Zebuluuni ni Naftaali.* 14 Okukola otio kwatuusia amangʼana aga Katonda yawoola ni kuwitra ku *Omugambi Isaaya mbwe: 15 “Ekialo ekia Zebuluuni alala ne ekia Naftaali, ewialo ewiri ku engira ewariire ku enyanza, elonda oluuzi olwa Yordaani, Galiili ekialo ekia awantu awatari *Awayaudi — 16 awantu awamenyere mu ekierema wawuine owueru owukaate; ee owueru wufumiire awantu awamenyere mu ekialo ekia ekiiruuzia ekia olumbe kisanikiire.”†*

17 Okuemera ao, Yesu yatanika okulanzia amangʼana aga Katonda na awoola otino, “Mugaluke mureke amawi, aeniki *Owuami owua ku igulu wuri ampi.”*

Yesu aetre awalonzi waae awa kuluweri

(Mari 1:16–20)

18 Ni Yesu yagenda-gendanga ku ensanyaata eya omwalo ogwa Galiili, yawona awantu wawiri awaawanga awazia awa omuntu omulala, ni watega engoe ziawu mu enyanza, aeniki waawanga awavuwi. Omulala ku iwo yawanga Petro, no owundi yawanga Andereeya. 19 Yesu yawaeta na awalaga otino, “Muuze mundonde, ni nyiza okuwagerera okuvuwa awantu ni mundeetako.” 20 Waafuma wuangu-wuangu wareka engoe ziawu walonda Yesu.

21 Yagia emberi wutono, kandi awona Yakoobo ni Yowaana, woona awazia awa omuntu owaetwanga Zebeedi. Awazia wano waawanga mu owuato ni Zebeedi swawu, ni waganzulula engoe ziawu okugia okutega. Yesu yawaeta, 22 kandi ao-ao, waareka owuato wuawu ni swawu Zebeedi, wamulonda.*

Yesu alamiizie awalwire wangi

23 Yesu yagenda-genda mu ekialo ekia Galiili kiona, na agerera mu amasinagoogi gaawu, na alanzia amangʼana amalootu aga *Owuami owua Katonda, kandi na alamia awantu ku amalwire goona.* 24 Amangʼana gaae gailanzia mu ekialo ekia Siiria kiona. Yareeterwa awantu awaalwalanga amalwire agagawukane-gawukaane, awandi awaawurranga owululu owungi, awaawanga ne *ewikeeno, awaagwanga emvuwu alala na awa emiwiri giafwa engʼanzi kandi Yesu yawalamia woona. 25 Awantu awangi ino waaema Galiili, ni Dekapooli,* Yerusaleemu, Yudeea alala ne ewitemo ewiri engereka indi eya oluuzi olwa Yordaani, wagia wamulonda.

(Luuk 6:20–23)

1 Olwa Yesu yawona omurima ogwa awantu awangi ogwo, yaniina ku ekigiri agia aikala ansi. Awalonzi waae woona waamugiako,* 2 kandi yatanika okuwagerera na awalaga otino,

3 “Awasereekwe na awantu awamanyire mbwe awatakiiye ensereki ezia mu omwoyo,

11 “Musereekwe inywe na awantu wawanyega, ni wawakorra uwiiwi, kandi ni wawawoolako ewintu ewiwiiwi wiona ku olugonzi olwa mungonziizie nalwo.* 12 Musangaale kandi muomererwe, aeniki omugawo ogwa muwikiirwe ku igulu guri omukaate. Mu engira efwanani, waakorra uwiiwi *awagambi awaawaao, inywe ni mukiari.*

Omuunyu no owueru

(Mari 9:50; 4:21; Luuk 14:34–35; 8:16)

13 “Mu ekialo kino, inywe muri kiomo omuunyu mu okuria. No omuunyu ni guteesiizie enzaziima yagwo, gwona gukairana gwawa omulungi kandi? Yaaya, omuunyu ogumiire okuteesia enzaziima, guwula ne emirimo. Ekisigaale mala no okufukwa enze, awantu wagutaze-taze na amagulu.*

20 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Endenya ziri na amiina ziago, kandi enyonyi ziri ne entalala. No *Omuzia owa Omuntu, iye awula ni aa yakaingizia omutwe.”*

21 Omulonzi wundi yamulaga otino, “Omwami, owusookere reka nsooke ngie nyawire soifu.”

28 Olwa yatuuka engereka indi, mu ekitemo ekia Gadaara, awantu wawiri awari ne ewikeeno waafuma agati ya ewiwaga waagaana ni Yesu. Waawanga awalulu, aa yawulangao omuntu owaesanga okulonda engira eyo.

Yesu ari na amaani aga okurekera awantu amawi

(Mari 2:1–12; Luuk 5:17–26)

1 Yesu yaingira mu owuato, wawunguka nawuno wagia watuuka ku omugizi gwawu.* 2 Awantu wandi waamureetra omuntu owa omuwiri gwafwa engʼanzi, na agonere ku iseero. Olwa Yesu yawona okuganya okwa waawanga nakwo, yalaga omulwire oyo otino, “Otafwa omwoyo, mwana wange; amawi gaao orekeerwe.”*

3 Ku okuwoola otio, *awagerezi awa endagirra wandi waawoola agati yaawu aweene mbwe, “Omuntu ono, na mpano anyega Katonda!”

4 Yesu yawanga na amanyire ewintu ewia waaingirizianga wino. Kutio yawalaga otino, “Ekigera ni muganya amaingirizio amawiiwi gano ni gawaingiramo mu omwoyo niki? 5 Ekiwuuwu okukola niki katio: okuwoola mbwe, ‘Amawi gaao orekeerwe,’ nakuwa okuwoola mbwe, ‘Ema ogende-gende’? 6 Ni kugere mumanye mbwe *Omuzia owa Omuntu ari na amaani aga okurekera awantu amawi ku ekialo kuno…” Nikuemao yalaga omuntu owa omuwiri ogwafwa engʼanzi otino, “Ema otoole iseero riao ogie engo waao.”* 7 Kandi omuntu oyo yaema ataao na agia engo waae. 8 Olwa omurima ogwa awantu ogwo gwawona ekiaikola ekio, waawa no owuti ino, kandi waatondowola Katonda owa-aa awantu amaani agaagana na ago.

Yesu yaaza okueta awooni

(Mari 2:13–17; Luuk 5:27–32)

9 Yesu yafuma ao kandi olwa yagia emberi wutono, yawona omuntu ku eriina Mathaayo, na aikaale mu enyumba omwa awantu waafumiangamo *omusolo. Yesu yalaga omuntu oyo mbwe, “Ndonde,” kandi ao-ao Mathaayo yaema atanika okumulonda.*

10 Lunyima ni Yesu yarianga okuria okwa igulo omwa Mathaayo, awasolozi awa omusolo, na ‘awooni’† awangi, waaza waria nae alala na awalonzi waae.* 11 Olwa Awafarisaayo waagia wawona-uwona ekintu ekio, waawuuzia awalonzi awa Yesu watino, “Ekigera no omugerezi wiinyu aria na awasolozi awa omusolo, na ‘awooni’ niki?”

12 Ku okuwurra ekingʼana ekio, Yesu yawoola otino, “Awiifu kane awalwire, nganiwo awaagala omurezi? Awalamu iwo waagarraki omurezi? 13 Ni nyagala mbwe mugie muigerere ekia amangʼana gano galagana: ‘Ngonziizie amasaasra okukira okufumiziwua omusango.’† Aeniki ngʼanyakaaza okueta awantu awigolovu, ni nyaazra awooni.”*

Engerera eya Yesu egawuuke ne eya Awafarisaayo

(Mari 2:18–22; Luuk 5:33–38)

14 Nikuemao awalonzi awa Yowaana waaza ku Yesu wamuwuuzia watino, “Kuwa kutie mbwe ifwe alala na Awafarisaayo tusiwa aa tutaria okuria, na awalonzi waao iwo ngawakola watio?”

15 Yesu yawairania na awoola mbwe, “Awageni awa ngʼina enserezi ogia okukwa aetre, waesa otie okurra ni wari nae? Amiire gaaza aga ngʼina enserezi oyo aaza okutoolwao awaemeko. Nikuemao nikwo warisiwa okuria.*

16 “Awulao-uwula omuntu onawa ekiraka ekiyia ku enguwo enkiire. Ni na akorre otio, ekiraka ekio kiiza okuema ku enguwo enkiire eyo, mala asi atanduku ao asigale awiiwi okukira kiema yawanga. 17 Lwona awantu ngawafuka edivaai empia mu ekimuga ekia edivaai ekilongerwe ni iseero ikulu. Aeniki ni wakorre watio, iseero erio riiza okuowoka, edivaai efugike kandi iseero erio rioneke uwiiwi. Kutio edivaai empia efukwa mu ekimuga ekia edivaai ekilongerwe ni iseero iyia, kandi mu engira eyo edivaai alala ne ekimuga kiayo ngawiiza okuoneka, yaaya.”

Omwala owafwa aziuka, no omukazi omulwire owalama

(Mari 5:21–43; Luuk 8:40–56)

18 Ni yagianga emberi no okuwoola otio, omukangasi omulala yamuuzako mala amukubra amasigamo ansi na awoola otino, “Omwami, omwala wange afwire. Ni ganya tugie omuteeko okukono, kandi aaza okuwa omulamu.” 19 Yesu yafuma okugia nae, alala na awalonzi waae.

20 Mu enyinga ezio, omukazi wundi owa enda yaae yawanga ne emiire okuwaao ne esulula ku emiaka ikumi ni iwiri, yaaza nyamugongo ogwa Yesu mala a-amba enguwo yaae.* 21 Yawanga na amiire okuwoola mu omwoyo gwae omwene mbwe, “Ni mpambre-uamba enguwo yaae, nyiza okulama.”

22 Yesu yagaluka mala amuwona. Yamulaga otino, “Otafwa omwoyo omwala wange. Okuganya kwao kukulamiizie” Ku enyinga ezio, omukazi oyo yalama.*

23 Olwa Yesu yaingira omwa omukangasi oria, yatuukrao awakubi awa ewituutu na awantu awangi ni wakuba erioga eringi. 24 Yawalaga otino, “Mufume mugie. Omwala owamurra akiari okufwa yaaya, na agona.” Ni iwo wamusekera, ki otamanyire ekintu ekia awoola.* 25 Olwa awantu awo waamala okufumiwua enze, Yesu yaingira mu enyumba. Ya-amba okukono okwa omwala oyo, kandi omwala yaema.* 26 Ekingʼana kino kiailanzia mu ewitemo wiona ewia ekialo ekio.

Yesu alamiizie awawuunu wawiri

(Mari 10:46–52; Luuk 18:35–43)

27 Ni Yesu yawita ao na agia, awawuunu wawiri waamulonda enyima ni waogerera watino, “Tuambre amagongi, iwue *Omuzia owa Daudi!” 28 Olwa yamala okuingira mu enyumba, awawuunu awo waamuuzako. Nikuemao Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Mberi muri no okuganya mbwe ndi na amaani aga okuwalamia?” Waamuirania mbwe, “Ee Omwami.” 29 Nikuemao ya-amba amiiso gaawu kandi awawoorra otino, “Kuwaikorre owuagani no okuganya okwa muri nakwo.”* 30 Kandi ao-ao waatanika okuwona. Nikuemao Yesu yawagaania wukalu na awalaga otino, “Muwone mbwe awulao-uwula omuntu omanyire ekiikorre kino.”** 31 Kukawa kutio, iwo waagia watanika okulanzizia awantu ekintu ekia Yesu yawakorra kino, mu ekitemo ekio kiona.*

Yesu alamiizie omuntu omurimba ori ne ewikeeno

32 Ni waafumanga ni wagia, Omuntu omurimba owawanga ne ekikeeno yairwa ku Yesu. 33 Kandi olwa ekikeeno kiafumiwua, omuntu owawanga omurimba oyo yatanika okugamba-gamba. Awantu awangi awawanga ao, waaluguula ni wawoola mbwe, “Kiwulao-uwula ekintu ekifwana kino ekimiire okuikolako mu ekialo ekia Israeli ano, yaaya.” 34 Na Awafarisaayo iwo waawoola watino, “Omuntu ono, akola na amaani aga omukangasi awa *ewikeeno okufumia ewikeeno.”*

Ekialo kilawire na awagesi wari awatono

35 Yesu yagia mu ewitemo ne emigizi giona, na agerera awantu mu amasinagoogi, kandi na alanzizia awantu amangʼana amalootu aga *Owuami owua Katonda, kandi na alamia awantu ku amalwire na amatekere goona.* 36 Olwa yawona omurima ogwa awantu, yawa-ambra amagongi aeniki waanyaasiwuanga kandi ngawakaesanga okuintunzia iwo aweene mala kiomo amagondi agawula no omwayi.* 37 Nikuemao Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Ekialo kilawire, na awagesi wari watono. 38 Kutio musawe Omwami omwene ewigeswa atume awemirimo mu emisiri egilawire wagie wagese.”

Yesu alowoole awatumwa ikumi ni wawiri

(Mari 3:13–19; Luuk 6:12–16)

1 Nikuemao Yesu yaeta awalonzi waae ikumi ni wawiri wamuuzeko. Yawa-aa amaani aga okufumia *ewikeeno kandi aga okulamia amalwire na amatekere goona.

2 Gano nigo amiina aga *awatumwa ikumi ni wawiri awo: owasooka ni Simioni (owayaluka mbwe Petro) ni wamwawu waae Andereeya; Yakoobo omuzia owa Zebeedi ni wamwawu waae Yowaana;* 3 Piliipo ni Batholomeo; Thomaasi ni Mathaayo owawanga omusolozi owa *omusolo; Yakoobo omuzia owa Alfaayo, ni Thadaayo; 4 Simioni Omusiani ni Yudaasi Iskarioti owamuguzia.*

Yesu atumre awalonzi waae ikumi ni wawiri

(Mari 6:6b–13; Luuk 9:1–6)

5 Yesu yatuma awantu ikumi ni wawiri wano na awalaga otino, “Mutaaza mwagia ku awantu awatari *Awayaudi namba okuingira mu omugizi ogwa *Awasamaria.* 6 Ni mugie ku amagondi agateekere, awari awaana awa Israeli.* 7 Ni mugia, mulanzizie awantu otino, ‘*Owuami owua ku igulu wuri ampi.’* 8 Mulamie awalwire, muziusie awafu, mueruyie awalwala owulwire owua owugenge kandi mufumie ewikeeno ku awantu.

11 “Mu omugizi-umugizi ogwa muingiiremo, muagarizie omuntu oganyire okuwaingizia ori ao, mumenye omwae nawuno mufume ao. 12 Ni muingira ku omugizi ogwo, mugu-ee ensereki ziinyu. 13 Omugizi ogwo ni guganyire okuwaingizia, muganye owuolu owuwariko wuwe ku omugizi ogwo; ni, ni watawaingiizie, mureke owuolu owuwariko wuwairaneko.* 14 No omuntu alowere okuwaingizia namba okuingizia amangʼana giinyu, mukukumule egunduusi eya ku amagulu giinyu enyinga ezia mufuma mu enyumba eyo nakuwa ku omugizi ogwo.* 15 Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe kuriweera awantu awa omugizi ogwo uwiiwi owuire owua ekiina, okukira emigizi egia Sodooma ni Gomoora.***

Eminyako-nyaako egia awatumwa waaza okuwona

16 “Mbatuma ki amagondi agari agati eya ensisi. Kutio muwe awagezi ki enzoka kandi awaolu ki iemba-emba.*

17 “Muirinde ku awantu awaaza okuwaira mu ewiina kandi wawakube mu amasinagoogi gaawu.* 18 Muuza okuirwa emberi wa awakangasi na awaami ku amangʼana gange, mugie muwalage iwo alala na awantu awatari Awayaudi ku okuganya okwa muri nakwo ku inze. 19 Ni, ni wawa-ambre, mutainyaasia ku ekia mugia okuwoola namba engira eya mugia okugamba-gambramo, yaaya.

Yowaana Omubatiisi awuuzia ni Yesu ari Meesia

1 Ni Yesu yamala okugerera awalonzi waae ikumi ni wawiri amangʼana gano goona, yafuma ao okugia okugerera kandi okulanzia amangʼana amalootu mu emigizi egia ekitemo ekia Galiili. 2 Yowaana Omubatiisi owawanga mu owusiwe, yawurra ewintu ewia *Kristo yawanga na akola. Kutio yatuma awandi ku awalonzi waae ku iye,* 3 wagie wamuwuuzie otino, “Iwue ni iwue owasugananga aaze,* kusi tusugaane turinde owundi?”* 4 Yesu yawairania otino, “Muirane ku Yowaana, mugie mumulage ewintu ewia muwuriire kandi ewia muwuine: 5 Awawuunu wawona, awarema wagenda-genda, awari no owugenge walamiwua, awa amatwi maziwu wawurra, awafu waziuka, kandi amangʼana amalootu galanziziwua awataka.* 6 Omuntu otairana enyima† ku amangʼana gange asereekwe.”

Yesu agamba-gamba ku Yowaana

(Luuk 7:24–28)

7 Na awalonzi awa Yowaana waafumanga ni wagia, Yesu yatanika okugamba-gambra omurima ogwa awantu ogwawanga ao ku Yowaana na awalaga otino, “Olwa mwagia ku Yowaana mu ekeewa, ekia mwagia okuwona niki?

Yesu asiagizia emigizi egialowa okumuganyako

(Luuk 10:13–15)

20 Nikuemao Yesu yatanika okusiagizia emigizi egia yakolamo amankono, aeniki ngawakagaluka wareka amawi gaawu.

21 “Kuriwaweera owululu inywe awantu awa Koraziini! Kuriwaweera owululu awantu awa Bethsaida! Kuweeko mbwe amankono agaakolwa agati iinyu gaakolwa mu emigizi egia Taaya ni Sidooni, kangato awaawangamo waagaluka kale, ni waingiizie enguwo ezikorre amakurugunya kandi ni wafukre igoke mu emiwiri giawu.* 22 Mbalaga mbwe kuriweera emigizi egia Taaya ni Sidooni geeza-geezako owuire owua Katonda arikengra awantu ekiina, okukira kiomo kuriwaweera inywe! 23 Kusi inywe awantu awa Kapernaumu, muingirizia mbwe muuza okugingwa kungulu ku igulu?

Munyizeko mutuukre okuwuluuka

(Luuk 10:21–22)

25 Ku enyinga ezio, Yesu yawoola otino, “Nkutondowoole Soifu Katonda, Omwami owa igulu ne ekialo, aeniki owisiire awaganga na awasomi ewintu wino, no owisasuriire awaana awato.* 26 Ee Soifu, aeniki kino nikio ekilootu ekia wasangaala nakio okukola.

1 Owuire wulala olwa *Sabato, Yesu na awalonzi waae waagenda-gendanga mu omusiri ogwa engaano. Aeniki awalonzi waae waawanga ne enzala, waatanika okuiiya ewigala ewia engaano ni waria.* 2 Olwa *Awafarisaayo waawawona ni wakola watio, waalaga Yesu watino, “Wonako!

3 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inywe mukiari okusoma ekia Omwami Daudi yakola olwa iye alala na awantu awayawanga nawo waawurranga enzala? 4 Yagia mu enyumba eya Katonda, kandi iye alala na awantu awayawanga nawo, waeewua emikaati egiatengekerwa Katonda waria, kukawa mbwe *ensikirra yaganyira *omuozia engʼene okugiria.* 5 Kusi mukiari okusoma amangʼana aga Muusa jajoja mbwe owuire owua Sabato, awoozia wakola emirimo mu *ekaalu ni ngawawalwa ki awaonre ensikirra?* 6 Mbalaga mbwe ekia muri nakio kikirre ekaalu. 7 Kuweeko mbwe mumanyire ekia amangʼana agari mu endagano agawoola mbwe, ‘Ngonziizie amasaasra okukira okufumiziwua omusango,’† galagana, kangato ngamukakengra awawula no owuoni ekiina ekia awooni.* 8 Kutio *Omuzia owa Omuntu nio Omwami owa Sabato.”

Yesu alamiizie omurema olwa Sabato

(Mari 3:1–6; Luuk 6:6–11)

9 Yesu yafuma ao agia aingira mu *esinagoogi, 10 kandi omuntu owa okukono kwae kwaremera yawanga omwo. Awafarisaayo wandi, awaagalanga ekintu ekia wakaingirra Yesu nakio mbwe akorre owuoni, waamuwuuzia watino, “Mberi kuri kulootu okulamia omuntu owuire owua Sabato?”

11 Yesu yawairania otino, “No ori ni igondi, kandi igondi erio rigie rigwe mu owuina owuire owua Sabato, ngoritoolamo?* 12 Omuntu ngari omukaate okukira igondi ale? Kutio kulootu okukorra omuntu geeza owuire owua Sabato.”* 13 Nikuemao Yesu yalaga omuntu oyo otino, “Golola okukono kwao.” Omuntu oyo yakola otio kandi okukono okwo kwawa okulamu mala kiomo okundi.

14 Awafarisaayo waafuma ao kandi watanika okukola omupango ogwa okuita Yesu.*

Omulowole owa Katonda

22 Nikuemao waamureetra omuntu owawanga ne ekikeeno owawanga omuwuunu kandi omurimba. Yesu yamulamia mala atanika okuwona no okugamba-gamba. 23 Awantu woona waaluguula ino kandi waawuuzia watino, “Awiifu, kusi ono akawa *Kristo *Omuzia owa Daudi?”*

24 No olwa Awafarisaayo waawurra ekingʼana kino, waawoola watino, “Omuntu ono akola mala na amaani aga aeerwe ni *Belzebuuli omwami owa *ewikeeno, okufumia ewikeeno.”*

25 Aeniki Yesu yawanga na amanyire ekia waaingirizianga, yawalaga otino:

Owuami owugawukaane wuuza okuoneka, kandi omugizi ki omugizi namba enyumba omwa awantu wailwania iwo aweene, ngaguuza okuimerra. 26 Sataani ne efumia Sataani, ao otio egawuuke eilwania eene. Ni kuri kutio owuami wuae wukaimerra wutie? 27 Ni, ni kuri mbwe mfumia ewikeeno na amaani aga mpeerwe ni Belzebuuli, mundageko mbwe awantu wiinyu iwo wawifumia naki? Kutio awantu wiinyu awo niwo awaaza okuwakengera ekiina. 28 Ni, ni kuri mbwe mbifumia na amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, kane kuri kuwuene mbwe *Owuami owua Katonda wuwaazreko. 29 Kuesekana kutie omuntu okuingira mu enyumba eya omukalu aiwe ewintu wiae, na atasookre amusiwe? Ee, na amiire okumusiwa nikwo aesa okumusakula ewintu ewia mu enyumba.*

30 “Omuntu otari nyaluwega lwange andwania, kandi omuntu otakunza ni inze, iye ataanyia.* 31 Mbalaga mbwe Katonda aaza okurekera awantu amawi goona na amanyego aga awantu wamunyega nago. No omuntu onyegere-unyega Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, iye ngaaza okurekerwa amawi gaae, yaaya. 32 Omuntu-umuntu ogamba-gambre uwiiwi ku Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okurekerwa, no omuntu ogamba-gambre uwiiwi ku Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda ngaaza okurekerwa mu ikula rino kugia eriiza.*

33 “Omuti ni guweere omulootu, ensaafu ziagwo ziona ziwa endootu, kandi omuti omuwiiwi gwona guama ensaafu embiiwi. Kutio omuti gumanywa ne ensaafu ziagwo.* 34 Inywe awaana awa enzoka wano, muesa mutie okuwoola ekintu ekilootu? Aeniki ewintu ewia omunwa guwoola wiema mala ku ewiizuule omwoyo ogwa omuntu.* 35 Omuntu omulootu afumia ewintu ewilootu ewia awiikre mu omwoyo gwae, kandi omuntu omuwiiwi yoona afumia ewintu ewiwiiwi ewia awiikre mu omwoyo gwae. 36 Ni mbalaga mbwe owuire owa ekiina, Katonda arikengra awantu ekiina ku ingʼana ki ingʼana eria waafwa okuwoola-woola-uwoola. 37 Ee, amangʼana gaao nigo agarigera okire ekiina, nakuwa ekiina kikukire.”*

Awataganyire waaza okukirwa ne ekiina

(Luuk 11:29–32)

38 Nikuemao Awafarisaayo na *awagerezi awa endagirra wandi waamulaga watino, “Omugerezi, tuagala mbwe otu-eeko ekilago ekiema ku igulu.”*

39 Ni Yesu yawairania otino, “Awantu awa ikula iwiiwi kandi eritarindre endagano, niwo awaagala mbwe wakorrwe amankono kiwaweere ekilago! Ni kiwulao ekilago ekia waaza okueewua ekigawuuke ne ekilago ekia Omugambi Yoona.* 40 Kiomo Yoona yawa mu enda eya emvwa ku amiire asatu owuire no omuwasu, nintio Omuzia owa Omuntu yoona aaza okuwa mu ilowa munsi ku amiire asatu owuire no omuwasu.* 41 Awantu awa Nineeve wari-imerra mu ekiina na awantu awa ikula rino kandi warigera ekiina kiwakire. Ee, aeniki iwo waagaluka wareka amawi gaawu olwa Yoona yawalanzizia amangʼana aga Katonda, ni wano walowere amangʼana aga omuntu okirre Yoona ale ori ano.* 42 Omwami owekikazi owa ekialo ekiri Emulambo yoona ari-imerra mu ekiina ni ikula eria nyingeeno rino, kandi yoona arigera ekiina kiwakire. Ee, aeniki yaema ale ino agia okuwurra amangʼana aga Sulumaani, ni wano walowere okuwurra omuntu okirre Sulumaani ale ori ano.*

Ekiikola ne ekikeeno kifumiiwue ku omuntu

(Luuk 11:24–26)

43 “Ekikeeno ni kifumre ku omuntu, kiyuga-yuga mu ewialo ewikarre aa amanzi gawula, ni kiagala aa kikawuluukra. Ni kitatuukiire, 44 kiwoola kitino, ‘Reka nyirane omwange.’ Ni kiiraane kandi kituukre enyumba ne eri wusaasa, ne eeruuye kandi ne ewintu witeerwe geeza, 45 kigia okuagala ewikeeno windi musamvu ewiwiiwi okukikira. Nikuemao wiona wiirana okumenya omwo kandi omuntu oyo airana yawa omuwiiwi okukira kiomo yawanga kuluweri. Nintio kuuza okuweera awantu awa ikula rino.”*

Ngʼinwawu Yesu ni waamwawu Yesu awa kuwuene

(Mari 3:31–35; Luuk 8:19–21)

46 Ni Yesu yawanga na akiagamba-gambra omurima ogwa awantu, ngʼinwae ni waamwawu awekizia waaza waimerra enze, aeniki waagalanga okugamba-gamba nae. 47 Nikuemao omuntu yagia alaga Yesu otino, “Ngʼinwao ni waamwinyu awekizia wari enze ano, waagala okugamba-gamba ni iwue.”

48 Yesu yawairania otino, “Ngʼinoifu naanu? Kusi waamwifu awekizia ni waawu anu?” 49 Yasiagizia awalonzi waae no okukono na awoola otino, “Wano niwo ngʼinoifu ni waamwifu awekizia. 50 Ni kutio aeniki omuntu-umuntu okola okuagala okwa Soifu ori ku igulu nio wamwifu owekiala, no owekizia kandi nio ngʼinoifu.”*

Olugero olwa omurimi owagia okumwa emwo

(Mari 4:1–9; Luuk 8:4–8)

1 Owuire owuo Yesu yafuma mu enyumba agia aikala ku ensanyaata eya enyanza. 2 Omurima ogwa awantu awangi ino gwaza gumuisunguuziako. Okwo kwagera Yesu aniina owuato aikalamo, awantu iwo waaimerre ku ensanyaata. 3 Yatanika okuwalaga ewintu ewingi mu engero otino, “Omurimi yagia okumwa emwo yaae. 4 Ni ni yamwanga emwo, emwo indi yagwa ku engira kandi enyonyi ziaza zigiria chwe. 5 Eindi yagwa ku entare, asi aa ilowa riawulanga eringi. Eno yafuma wuangu-wuangu aeniki ilowa itono erio riawanga ni ri-iserengeere ku entare. 6 No olwa iwasu riafuma, emere eyo yakala kandi elala no okulala aeniki yawulanga ne emizi. 7 Emwo indi yagwa mu amawua, agaakoma ne emere mala gasindigania emere eyo. 8 Ne eindi yagwa mu ilowa ilootu, aa yalawia emere mia kilala kangi okukira, eindi amakumi mukaaga kangi okukira, ne eindi amakumi asatu kangi okukira.” 9 Yesu yamaariizia na awoola mbwe, “Omuntu ori na amatwi aga okuwurra, ka-awurre.”

Awalonzi awa Yesu wasanukuriirwe amangʼana agaiwisre

(Mari 4:10–12; Luuk 8:9–10; 10:23–24)

10 Nikuemao awalonzi waae waamuuzako wamuwuuzia watio, “Ekigera no ogamba-gamba na awantu mu engero otino niki?”

11 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inywe ni inywe awaeerwe okumanya owueru owua ewintu ewiiwisre ewia *Owuami owua ku igulu, ni ngʼani iwo yaaya.* 12 Omuntu okola geeza ne ekia aegeekwe nio orisongwa. No omuntu otakola geeza ne ekia aegeekwe aaza okunyagulwa namba ekitono ekia yaegekwa.* 13 Ngamba-ngamba nawo mu engero aeniki:

“Kukawa mbwe wari na amiiso agawona, ni ngawawona;

kukawa mbwe wari na amatwi agawurra, ni ngawawurra lwona amangʼana ngagawaingirra.

14 Watuusia owugambi owua Isaaya owuwoola mbwe:

“ ‘Muuza okuwa mala ni muwurra, na amangʼana ngagaaza okuwaingirra;

muuza okuwa mala ni muwarra, no okuwona ngamuuza okuwona.

15 Aeniki awantu wano emioyo giawu mikalu,

lwona waziwire amatwi,

kandi waindiriizie amiiso gaawu;

Wataaza, wawona na amiiso gaawu,

kandi wawurra na amatwi gaawu,

lwona emioyo giawu gitaaza giaingirizia amangʼana,

kugere wagaluke waaze ku Katonda, awanunule.’†

16 “Ni, inywe amiiso giinyu gasereekwe aeniki gawona kandi amatwi giinyu goona gasereekwe aeniki gawurra. 17 Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe *awagambi awangi na awantu awigolovu awangi waawa na amiiga aga okuwona ewintu ewia muwona kandi okuwurra ewia muwurra nyingeeno wino, ni ngakukawaweera kutio.*

Ekia olugero olwa omurimi owamwa emwo lulagana

(Mari 4:13–20; Luuk 8:11–15)

18 “Mutege amatwi muwurre ekia olugero olwa omurimi owagia okumwa emwo lulagana: 19 Engira eya emwo yagwako eimeriire awantu awawurra amangʼana aga Owuami owua ku igulu, ni ngagawaingirra. Kutio omuzigu aaza kandi yawasakula ingʼana eriasimbwa mu emioyo giawu. 20 Olutare luimeriire awantu awawurra amangʼana kandi wagaingizia wuangu-wuangu no owusangaavu. 21 Ni aeniki wawula ne emizi, ngawawuuza ku amiire amangi, yaaya. Iwo ne eminyako-nyaako namba emidambo giiziire awantu ku amangʼana aga Katonda, wairana enyima wuangu-wuangu. 22 Amawua aga emwo yagwamo na awantu awawurra amangʼana, no okui-ingirizia okwa owulamu alala ne ensemerezanio eya owunyazi egisindigania nawuno yareka okuamia ensaafu.* 23 Ni ilowa ilootu ri-imeriire awantu awawurra amangʼana kandi wagaingizia. Iwo waamia ensaafu mia kilala, awandi amakumi mukaaga, na awandi amakumi asatu kangi okukira eyamwewua.”

Olugero olwa isuwi eria amagolwe

24 Nikuemao Yesu yawalaga olugero lundi oluwoola lutino, “Owuami owua ku igulu wufwanana no omuntu owamwa emwo yaae mu omusiri gwae. 25 No owuire awantu woona ni wagona, omuzigu yaaza mala asimba amagolwe agati ya engaano mala afuma agia. 26 Olwa engaano yafuma kandi etanika okufumia ewigala, amagolwe goona gaafuma.

27 “Awemirimo awa ngʼina omusiri waaza waamuwuuzia watino, ‘Omukangasi kane ngawasimba emwo endootu engʼene mu omusiri gwao? Amagolwe gano gaemerei katio?’

28 “Yawairania mbwe, ‘Omuzigu nio owakola kino.’

“Nikuemao awemirimo waamuwuuzia watino, ‘Wagala mbwe tugie tuiiye amagolwe?’

29 “Yawairania na awoola mbwe ‘Yaaya mutakola otio. Ni mutaniike okuiiya amagolwe, muuza mwaiiya kugia engaano yoona.

30 “ ‘Mureke gakome goona nawuno kutuuke mu igesa. Igesa ni rirituuka ndirilaga awagesi wasooke wakunze amagolwe emitwe-emitwe gasambwe; nikuemao engaano ekunziwue ereetwe mu ekiagi.’ ”*

Olugero olwa emwo entono eya karadaali no olwa omumera

(Mari 4:30–32; Luuk 13:18–21)

31 Yesu yawalaga olugero lundi otino, “Owuami owua ku igulu wuesa okufwananiwua ne emwo eya karadaali, eya omuntu yatoola agia asimba mu omusiri gwae.* 32 Kukawa mbwe emwo eyo nie entono ino okukira emwo ziona, ne okomere ewa omuti omukaate okukira emiti giona. Enyonyi ziiza ziagiombokako entalala ku ensagia ziagwo.”

33 Yesu kandi yawalaga olugero lundi otino, “Owuami owua ku igulu wuesa okufwananiwua no amamera amatoono aga omukazi atoola yafuka ku owusie wungi yaduwania mala amamera gaazimbia owusie owuo wuona.”

Okugamba-gamba mu engero

(Mari 4:33–34)

34 Yesu yalaga omurima ogwa awantu amangʼana gano goona mu engero kandi riwulao ingʼana-ungʼana eria yawalaga na atakorre no olugero. 35 Kuno kwatuusia amangʼana aga Katonda yawoola ni kuwitra ku omugambi omulala mbwe:

“Nyiza okugamba-gamba nawo mu engero,

nyiza okuwoola amangʼana agamiire okuwa ni gaiwisre okuema mu owutaniko owua ekialo.”†

Ekia olugero olwa isuwi lulagana

36 Nikuemao yareka omurima ogwo mala agia aingira mu enyumba. Awalonzi waae waamugiako kandi wamulaga watino, “Tunawurreko ekia olugero olwa amagolwe aga mu omusiri luria lulagana.”

37 Yesu yawairania otino, “Omuntu owamwa emwo endootu no Omuzia owa Katonda. 38 Omusiri ne ekialo, ne emwo eimeriire awaana awa *Owuami owua Katonda. Amagolwe gaimeriire awaana awa omwoni, 39 kandi omuzigu owagasimba ne *Ekikeeno. Igesa ri-imeriire owuire owua owutuuko kandi awagesi wari *enyankoi awa Katonda.

40 “Kiomo amagolwe gaiiywa kandi gaasambwa, nintio kuriwa owuire owua owutuuko. 41 Nyanga olwo, *Omuzia owa Omuntu arituma enyankoi waae awari-iiyao ekintu-ukintu ekiri mu owuami wuae ekireeta owuoni alala na awantu woona awakola owuoni.* 42 Enyankoi awo wariwaluuma mu omurro omuyu le, aa awantu warirra kandi warisienenia amiino.* 43 Awalongoole iwo wariwala ki enyanga mu owuami owua Soifu Katonda. Ori na amatwi, ka-awurre.”*

Olugero olwa owuwiiko owuawiswa no olwa eluulu

44 Yagia emberi na awoola mbwe, “Owuami owua ku igulu wuesa okufwananiwua no owuwiiko owuawiswa mu omusiri. Olwa omuntu yawutuukra, yairana awuwisa aazane ao. Yagia aguzia ewintu wiae wiona na ari omusangaavu ino, nikuemao agia agula omusiri ogwo.*

45 “Kandi, Owuami owua ku igulu wuesa okufwananiwua no omuntu owa amaara oagala eluulu endootu ino. 46 Olwa yatuukra eluulu eya iguzi eria kungulu, yairana enyima agia aguzia ewintu wiae wiona nikwo agia agula eluulu eyo.

Olugero olwa olugoe

47 “Lwona, Owuami owua ku igulu wuesa okufwananiwua no olugoe olwategwa mu enyanza mala luamba emvwa ezigawukane-gawukaane. 48 Olwa olugoe lwaizula ne emvwa otino, awavuwi waalukulula enze ku ensanyaata nikuemao walowola emvwa endootu ziona wata mu ekikapu, ne embiiwi warigiza. 49 Nintio lwona kuriwa mu entuuko eya ekialo. Enyankoi wariiza wagawule awalongoole na awawiiwi 50 kandi warigize awawiiwi mu omurro omuyu le, aa awantu warirra kandi warisienenia amiino.”

51 Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Mberi muwuriire amangʼana gano goona?” Waamuirania mbwe, “Ee, tuwuriire.”

52 Yawalaga mbwe, “Kutio omugerezi ogerera *ensikirra omiire ogererwa amangʼana aga Owuami owua ku igulu, iye afwanana ni ngʼina enyumba ofumia owuwiiko owua ewintu ewiyia ne ewikulu okuema mu ekitamu kiae.”

Omugambi ngaeerwe owuti mu ekialo kiawu

(Mari 6:1–6)

53 Olwa Yesu yamala okugamba-gamba mu engero zino, yafuma aema mu ekitemo ekio. 54 Yairana mu omugizi gwawu, atanika okugerera awantu mu *esinagoogi yaawu kandi awantu awa eyo waaluguula. Waawuuzia watino, “Omuntu ono atoorrei amaganga na amaani aga okukola amankono gano?* 55 Kane ono ngʼanio omuzia owa omufundi owa amabaawu oria? Maaria ngʼanio ngʼinwae kandi waamwawu waae ngʼani waawu Yakoobo, Yoseefu, Simioni ni Yudaasi?* 56 Waamwawu waae awekiala ngʼaturi nawo ano? Kutio omuntu ono iye yatuukrai ewintu wino wiona?” 57 Kandi waalowa okuganya ku iye.

Ni Yesu yawalaga otino, “Omugambi owa Katonda ngaeewua owuti mala mu omugizi gwawu no omwawu engʼene.”* 58 Yesu ngakakola amankono amangi ao aeniki awantu waawulanga no okuganya ku iye.

Okuitwa okwa Yowaana Omubatiisi

(Mari 6:14–29; Luuk 9:7–9)

1 Mu amiire ago, Omwami *Eroode* yawurra amangʼana aga Yesu. 2 Yalaga awemirimo waae watino, “Ono ni Yowaana Omubatiisi. Aziukre aemere ku awafu kandi ekio nikio ekigera na ari na amaani aga okukola amankono.”*

3 Eroode yaingirizianga otio aeniki kwatuukra ni yasikirra mala Yowaana a-ambwa, asiwua kandi arigizwa mu owusiwe ku amangʼana aga Erodiasi muka Piliipo, 4 mbwe ngera Yowaana yamugaanianga enyinga ziona na amulaga mbwe, “Yaaya, endagirra iifu ngekuganyiire okutoola muka wamwinyu awe omukazi waao, wamwinyu na akiario omulamu!”** 5 Okwo kwagera Eroode awa no okuagala mbwe aite Yowaana, ni kukawa kutio yatia, aeniki awantu waawanga ni watoorre Yowaana ki *omugambi owa Katonda.*

6 Nyanga ndala ne Eroode yagomeranga owuire owua yaiwurrwamo, omwala owa Erodiasi yazina geeza ino emberi wa Eroode na awageni waae kandi okwo kwasangaazia Eroode ino. 7 Yamuifuuwira na ata endagano mbwe aaza okumu-aa ekintu-ukintu ekia amusawire. 8 Ku amagezi aga ngʼinwae yamugerera, omwala oyo yalaga Eroode otino, “Nyagala ompe omutwe ogwa Yowaana Omubatiisi ku oludaawo luno.” 9 Omwami Eroode yawurra wuwiiwi ino mu omwoyo gwae, ni ku endagano eya omwene yata na amuifuuwira emberi wa awageni waae, yasikirra mbwe omwala oyo aeewue ekia yasawa ekio! 10 Kutio Yowaana yakengwa igosi mu owusiwe. 11 Omutwe gwae gwareetwa mu oludaawo kandi gueewua omwala owa Erodiasi owagutoola aguirra ngʼina. 12 Awalonzi awa Yowaana waaza watoola omuwiri ogwa Yowaana wagia wa-awira, nikuemao wagia walaga Yesu ekiaikola ekio.

Yesu aeere awantu awakirre elufu witaanu okuria

(Mari 6:30–44; Luuk 9:10–17; Yowa 6:1–13)

13 Olwa Yesu yawurra amangʼana ago, yafuma no owuato okugia aaiwisre. Awantu waawurra mbwe agiire kandi omurima ogwa awantu awaaema mu emigizi egia ekitemo ekio, gwamulonda eyo na amagulu. 14 Olwa Yesu yagowa kandi awona omurima omungi ogwa awantu, yawa-ambra amagongi kandi yalamia awalwire waawu.*

15 Ne enyinga ezia igulo ziawanga ampi, awalonzi waae waamuuzako wamulaga watino, “Asi ano na ale ne emigizi, no owuire wuri ampi okuwuira. Kutio reka awantu wano wagie mu emigizi egia ampi ano, wagie waagale okuria wagule.”

16 Yesu yawairania otino, “Ngawasugaane wagie yaaya, aweene muwa-ee okuria warie.”

17 Iwo wamuirania mbwe, “Turi mala ne emikaati itaanu ne emvwa iwiri ziengʼene.”

18 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Muwireete ano.” 19 Nikuemao yawoola mbwe awantu waikale ansi ku owusuwi. Yatoola emikaati itaanu ne emvwa iwiri ziria. Yaginga amiiso gaae ku igulu, airanizia Katonda otioo nikwo agenyula omukaati. Nikuemao yatoola ewiokuria ewio a-aa awalonzi waae kandi awalonzi waae waawitoola wawi-aa awantu. 20 Woona waaria waiguta du, kandi awalonzi waae waakunza ewimega ewia ewiokuria ewiasigala mala wiizula ewidida ikumi ni wiwiri. 21 Awantu awaaria woona, awasaaza wengʼene waawanga elufu witaanu, no orekere awakazi na awaana enze.*

Yesu agende-gendre ku amanzi

(Mari 6:45–51; Yowa 6:16–21)

22 Olwa awantu waamala-umala okuria otino, Yesu yanigirizia awalonzi waae okuingira mu owuato wasiawale okugia engereka indi. Iye yasigala enyima na asiwula omurima ogwa awantu ogwo. 23 Ni yamala okuwasiwula wagia, yaniina agia ku ekigiri okusawa kandi kwatuuka igulo na ari ao omwene.* 24 Owuato owua awalonzi waae waawangamo wuawanga ni wuri ku owuziwa ale ne ensanyaata, amasiira ni gawukuba eno ne eno aeniki omuyaga gwawanga omungi.

25 Owuire ni wugia okutuuka kungoko, Yesu yawagiako na agenda-genda ku enyanza.* 26 Olwa awalonzi waae waamuwona na agenda-genda ku enyanza, owuti wuawa-amba ino mala watanika okukuba erioga ni wawoola watino, “Kiiria ne ekikeeno! Kiiria ne ekikeeno!”*

27 Ni Yesu yawalaga wuangu-wuangu otino, “Mutafwa omwoyo, ono ni inze. Mutawa no owuti.”

28 Petro yamuirania otino, “Omwami ni kuri mbwe oyo ni iwue, ndage nkuuzeko ku amanzi ao.”

29 Yesu yamulaga mbwe, “Iza.”

Nikuemao Petro yafuma mu owuato, atanika okugenda-genda ku amanzi na awariire ku Yesu. 30 No olwa yawona omuyaga, owuti wuamuamba mala atanika okuniwa mu amanzi. Yaogerera na awoola otino, “Omwami, nnunule!”

31 Ao-ao Yesu yagolola okukono kwae mala amuamba na amulaga otino, “Iwue ori no okuganya okutono ono, katio oweere no okui-ingirizia kolaki?”*

32 Olwa waingira-uingira mu owuato woona awawiri watino, omuyaga gwawua chwe. 33 Awaawanga mu owuato woona waamuifunamra ni wawoola watino, “Kuwuene ori Omuzia owa Katonda.”*

Yesu alamiizie awantu Genezereeti

(Mari 6:53–56)

34 Olwa waamala okuambuka enyanza, waagia wagowa *Genezereeti. 35 Kandi olwa awantu awa eyo waagia wamumanyirizia, waatumania amangʼana ku awantu awa ewitemo ewia ampi ao woona. Awantu waamureetra awalwire awangi 36 wamusawa mbwe areke awalwire awo wa-ambeko namba enguwo yaae kandi awaamuamba woona waalama.*

Endagirra ezia Awayaudi ne engerera ezia Yesu

(Mari 7:1–13)

1 Nikuemao *Awafarisaayo na *awagerezi awa endagirra wandi waaza ku Yesu ni waema Yerusaleemu kandi wamuwuuzia watino, 2 “Ekigera awalonzi waao ni watambuka endagirra eya waaguukwa wiifu niki? Iwo ngawaozia amakono ni wagia okuria!”*

3 Yesu yawairania otino, “Ni inywe ekigera ni mutambuka *ensikirra eya Katonda ku amangʼana aga okutuusia endagirra ziinyu niki? 4 Aeniki kukawa mbwe Katonda yasikirra mbwe, ‘Tia swao ni ngʼinwao’† kandi mbwe, ‘Omuntu-umuntu onyega swae nakuwa ngʼinwae paka aitwe.’† 5 Ni inywe muwoola mbwe no omuntu alagre swae nakuwa ngʼinwae mbwe, ‘Owuitunzi owua nkakueere, miire okuta antulo oku-aa Katonda,’ 6 mbwe ngasugaane ‘a-ee awiiwuzi owuti’ ku okuwa-aa ekintu ekio. Kutio mutoola amangʼana aga Katonda ki aga owusaasa kugere mutuusie endagirra ziinyu. 7 Inywe awantu awaisemerezia wano! Isaaya yawanga kuwuene olwa yawagambako na awoola mbwe:

8 “ ‘Awantu wano wampa owuti mala ne eminwa,

ne emioyo giawu giri ale ni inze.

9 Owunene owua wampa wuwula ne emirimo;

engerera ziawu ziri mala amangʼana aga awantu wateere mbwe galondwe.’† ”

Ekintu ekiesa okumwamia Omuntu

(Mari 7:14–23)

10 Yesu yaeta omurima ogwa awantu mbwe wamuuzeko, mala awalaga otino, “Mutege amatwi muwurre. 11 Ekintu eki-ingira mu enda eya omuntu ngakigera no omuntu awa ‘otari omweru’ yaaya, ni ne ekifuma mu omunwa ogwa omuntu nikio ekigera na awa ‘otari omweru.’ ”

12 Nikuemao awalonzi waae wamugiako kandi wamuwuuzia watino, “Omanyire mbwe Awafarisaayo ngawakawona geeza ni iwue ku amangʼana aga oema okuwalaga garia?”

15 Petro yamulaga otino, “Tunawurreko ekia olugero olwo lulagana.”

16 Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Kane mwona mukiawula no okuwurra? 17 Ngamuwona mbwe ekintu eki-ingira mu omunwa kigia mu enda ni kandi nikuemao kiafuma mu omuwiri? 18 Ne ewintu ewifuma mu omunwa wiema mu omwoyo, kandi wino niwio ewigera no omuntu awa ‘otari omweru.’ 19 Aeniki ni mu omwoyo ogwa omuntu nimwo ewintu kiomo amaingirizio amawiiwi, owuisi, okugia no omukazi namba omusaaza owa owundi ku iseero, owusoodani, owuiwi, okufumia owuwoni owua owuweeyi, no okuwoola awantu, wiona wifumira.* 20 Ewintu wino niwio ewigera omuntu na ‘atawa omweru,’ no okuria na amakono agataoziiwue ngakugera na awa ‘otari omweru.’ ”

Okuganya okwa omukazi otari Omuyaudi

(Mari 7:24–30)

21 Yesu yafuma ao agia aaiwisre mu ewitemo ewia Taaya ni Sidooni. 22 Omukazi owa Kanaani* owa mu ekitemo ekio yagia ku Yesu amurra na awoola otino, “Omwami *Omuzia owa Daudi, mpambreko amagongi! Omwala wange anyaasiwua ino ne *ewikeeno ewimuriko.”*

23 Yesu ngakairania ekintu, kutio awalonzi waae waamugiako wamuisasaama watino, “Omwami, mulage agie aeniki akuba erioga enyima wiifu.”

24 Iye yairania otino, “Inze nyatumwa ku Awaisraeli awateekere ki amagondi.”*

25 Omukazi oyo yaaza mala akuba amasigamo gaae emberi wa Yesu na awoola mbwe, “Omwami, ntunzie!”

26 Yamuirania otino, “Ngakulootu omuntu okutoola owuita owua awaana arigizre embwa.”

27 Iye yairania otino, “Namba embwa ziona ziria ewisonyokerwa ewigwa ansi eya emeesa eya ngʼinazio.”

28 Nikuemao Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “Omukazi iwue, ori no okuganya okukaate! Okusawa kwao kutuusiziiwue.” Kandi omwala waae yalama mu enyinga ezio.*

Yesu alamiizie awalwire awangi enze eya ekialo ekia Awayaudi

(Mari 7:31–37)

29 Yesu yafuma ao agia ku ensanyaata eya enyanza eya Galiili. Nikuemao yaniina agia ku ekigiri kandi aikala ansi.* 30 Omurima omukaate gwamuuzako ni wareetere awa amagulu gaadembuka, awawuunu, awarema, awarimba, na awaalwalanga amalwire gandi agagawuke-gawuuke, wawagolola emberi wa Yesu kandi yawalamia woona. 31 Awantu waaluguula okuwona awarimba ni wagamba-gamba, awa amagulu gaadembuka ni wagenda-genda, awarema ni walama kandi awawuunu ni wawona. Kino kiagera watondowola Katonda owa Awaisraeli.

(Mari 8:1–10)

32 Yesu yaeta awalonzi waae wamuuzeko kandi awalaga otino, “Mpambra awantu wano amasaasra. Wamiire okuwa ni inze ku amiire asatu goona, kandi nyingeeno wawula ne ekia wakaria. Nanyagala okuwareka wagie ne enzala aeniki omuuka guuza gwawawuera ku engira ni wagia.”*

33 Awalonzi waae waamuirania watino, “Tukatuukrai emikaati egikasuga awantu awangi watino aa turi ale ne emigizi ano.”

34 Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Muri ne emikaati imeka?”

Wamuirania mbwe, “Musamvu ne emvwa entono-ntono.”

35 Yesu yasikirra omurima ogwa awantu awo mbwe waikale ansi. 36 Nikuemao yatoola emikaati musamvu ne emvwa ezio mala aikazia Katonda nikwo agigenyula. Yagitoola agiezania ku awalonzi waae kugere wagawire awantu awo okuria kandi waagiezania ku omurima ogwa awantu awo. 37 Awantu woona waaria nawuno waiguta du! Olwa waamala kuria, awalonzi wakunza ewimega ewia ewiokuria ewiasigala, mala wisuga ewidida musamvu. 38 Awantu awaaria woona, awasaaza wengʼene no orekere awakazi na awaana enze, waawanga elufu wine. 39 Olwa Yesu yamala okureka omurima ogwa awantu gugia, yaingira mu owuato ampi ni Magadaani.*

5 Olwa wa-ambuka enyanza wagia engereka indi, awalonzi waae waalawira okutoola emikaati. 6 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Muwe amankaga kandi muirinde ku omumera ogwa Awafarisaayo na Awasadukaayo.”*

7 Waagamba-gamba agati yaawu aweene ni wawoola watino, “Paka kuwe mbwe awoola otio aeniki ngatukatoola emikaati.”

8 Yesu yawanga na amanyire ekia waawoolanga kino, kutio yawawuuzia otino, “Inywe awantu awawula no okuganya wano, mugamba-gamba ku okuwula ne emikaati kolaki?* 9 Mukiawula no okuwurra?

16 Simioni Petro yairania na awoola mbwe, “Ni iwue *Meesia, Omuzia owa Katonda omulamu.”*

17 Yesu yamuirania na awoola otino, “Osereekwe iwue Simioni omuzia owa Yoona, aeniki okusasuriire ekingʼana kino ni Soifu ori ku igulu, otari omuntu yaaya. 18 Kandi nkulaga iwue mbwe ori Petro* kandi ku iwaale rino, nyiza okuombokako ekaniisa kiange, kandi ewikulo ewia ekialo ekia awafu ngawiiza okukikira, yaaya.* 19 Nyiza okuku-aa ewifunguo ewia *Owuami owua ku igulu.

Yesu agamba-gambre ku okufwa kwae

(Mari 8:31–33; Luuk 9:22)

21 Okuemera ao, Yesu yatanika okulaga awalonzi waae mbwe yasugananga agie Yerusaleemu, aa yagianga okunyaasiwua mu amakono aga *awagaaka awa ediini eya *Awayaudi, awakangasi awa *awoozia, alala na *awagerezi awa endagirra.

22 Petro yamutoola agia nae antulo mala atanika okumusiagizia otino, “Yaaya Omwami! Ewio ngawisugre wikuikorre yawa.”

23 Yesu yagaluka alaga Petro otino, “Ema emberi wange, iwue *Sataani! Ori ekigazio kiange kandi owula ne ewintu ewia Katonda mu amaingirizio gaao, ni mala ewintu ewia awantu niwio ewia omanyire.”

Oagala okuwa omulonzi wa Yesu paka aganye okufumia owulamu wuae

(Mari 8:34—9:1; Luuk 9:23–27)

24 Nikuemao Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Omuntu oagala okundonda, paka asooke ailowe iye omwene kandi atoole *omusalaaba gwae andonde.* 25 Aeniki omuntu-umuntu oagala okununula owulamu wuae iye omwene, aaza okuwurigiza.

Embonekano eya Yesu egaluuke enzeru zerre

(Mari 9:2–8; Luuk 9:28–36)

1 Na amiire mukaaga gaamala okuwita, Yesu yatoola Petro, Yakoobo ni Yowaana, afuma nawo waniina ku ekigiri ekiliire okuwa aweene.* 2 Eyo embonekano eya Yesu yagaluka emberi waawu. Ekieni kiae kiangʼena-ngʼena ki enyanga, kandi enguwo ziae ziawa enzeru zerre ki owueru. 3 Ku enyinga eziazane ezio, awantu wawiri waawafumira. Awantu awo waawanga Muusa ne Eliija, awaagamba-gambanga ni Yesu.

4 Petro yalaga Yesu otino, “Omwami, kuri kulootu mbwe turi ano. No oganyire, nyiza okuomboka ewigiti wisatu ano, kilala kiiza okuwa ekiao, ekindi ekia Muusa, ne ekindi ekia Eliija.”

5 Ni Petro yawanga na akiagamba-gamba, ire erieru zerre riaika riwasanikizia, kandi omwoyo gwaema mu ire ogwawoola mbwe, “Ono nio Omuzia wange owa ngonziizie kandi owa nsangaarre nae. Mumuwurre!”*

6 Olwa awalonzi awo waawurra otio, waagwa ansi amafunikira, no owuti wuwa-ambre ino. 7 Ni Yesu yawagiako awa-amba na awalaga otino, “Mueme, mutatia.” 8 Olwa waawarra kungulu, awulao omuntu owa waawona ogawuuke ni Yesu.*

9 Ni waaikanga ni waema ku ekigiri, Yesu yawasikirra na awalaga otino, “Mutaaza mwalaga omuntu ekintu ekia muwuine, nawuno *Omuzia owa Omuntu aziusiwue aeme ku awafu.”

Okuirana okwa Omugambi Eliija

(Mari 9:11–13)

10 Awalonzi waae waamuwuuzia watino, “Ekigera na *awagerezi awa endagirra wawoola mbwe Eliija nio owasugananga asookere *Meesia okuuza niki katio?”

11 Yesu yawairania na awoola otino, “Kuwuene Eliija nio osooka okuuza kugere airanie ewintu wiona wiwe geeza.* 12 Ni mbalaga mbwe Eliija yamiire okuuza. Ni kukawa kutio, ngawakamumanyirizia yaaya, ni iwo wamiire okumukorra ewintu wiona ewia aweene waagalanga. Nintio lwona Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okunyaasiwua mu amakono gaawu.” 13 Kuno kwagera awalonzi waae wamanya mbwe owa Yesu yagamba-gambangako yawanga Yowaana Omubatiisi.*

Yesu alamiizie omuzia owawanga ne ekikeeno

(Mari 9:14–29; Luuk 9:37–43a)

14 Olwa waatuuka ku omurima, omuntu omulala yaaza ku Yesu, amukubra amasigamo ansi. 15 Yamulaga otino, “Omwami, ambra omuzia wange amagongi, aeniki agwa emvuwu kandi ainyaasia ino. Kangi amiire okugwa mu omurro namba mu amanzi. 16 Nyaa ni muretiire awalonzi waao, no okumulamia kuwakirre.”

17 Yesu yairania na awoola otino, “Oo inywe ikula erioneeke kandi eriwula no okuganya rino! Nyiza okuwa ni inywe ni nsikiizie omwoyo ku amangʼana giinyu kutuuka ri? Mutoole omuzia oyo mumundeetere ano.” 18 Yesu yasiagizia ekikeeno ekio kimuemeko mala kimuemako, kandi omuzia oyo yawa omulamu okuemerera ao.

19 Nikuemao awalonzi waae waamugiako na ari omwene, wamuwuuzia watino, “Ekigera ne ekikeeno ekio kiaa ni kitukirre okufumia niki?”

20 Yawairania otino, “Kiaa ni kiwakirre aeniki muri no okuganya okutono ino. Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe muweeko namba no okuganya okutono ki emwo eya karadaali, muesa okulaga ekigiri kino mbwe, ‘Ema ano, ogie aaria’ kandi kikakola otio. Kiwulao-uwula ekintu ekitaaza okureka okuesekana ku inywe.* 21 [Ne ekikeeno ekifwana kino kifumiziwua mala ku okusawa no *okusiwa okuria.]”*

Yesu agamba-gambre kandi ku okufwa no okuziuka kwae

(Mari 9:30–32; Luuk 9:43b–45)

22 Olwa waaikumia alala Galiili, Yesu yawalaga otino, “Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okuguziwua, ateewue mu amakono aga awantu 23 awaaza okumuita, kandi owuire owua okusatu aaza okuziusiwua aeme ku awafu awe omulamu kandi.” Kino kiagera owululu wuingirra awalonzi waae ino.*

Okufumia omusolo ogwa ekaalu

24 Yesu na awalonzi waae waagia watuuka Kapernaumu. Eyo awasolozi awa *omusolo ogwa awantu wafumizizia emirimo egia mu *ekaalu, waagia ku Petro wamuwuuzia watino, “Omugerezi iinyu ono mberi afumia omusolo ogwa ekaalu?”*

25 Petro yawairania otino, “Ee, afumia.”

Olwa Petro yaingira mu enyumba, Yesu nio owasooka okugamba-gamba nae. Yawuuzia Petro otino, “Oingirizia otie Simioni? Awaami awa ku ekialo wasolozia omusolo ku anu? Ku awazia waawu, kusi ku awantu wandi awasaasa?”

26 Petro yamuirania mbwe, “Ku awantu wandi.”

Yesu yamulaga otino, “Kutio awazia waawu iwo ngawafumia. 27 Ni kugere wataaza wawona ni ifwe uwiiwi, fuma ogie mu enyanza ogie otege ilowo riao. Toola emvwa eya ogia okusooka okuamba owarre mu omunwa gwayo. Ooza okutuukramo isendi ilala erisugre okuoloola omusolo gwao no ogwange. Toola isendi erio ori-ee awasolozi awa omusolo awo ki omusolo gwao no ogwange.”

Omunene okukira awandi mu Owuami owua ku igulu

1 Enyinga ezio, awalonzi awa Yesu waamugiako kandi wamuwuuzia watino, “Omunene okirre woona mu *Owuami owua ku igulu naanu?”*

2 Yesu yaeta omwana omuto aaza amuemerezia agati yaawu. 3 Yawalaga otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe ni mutagaluuke muwe ki awaana wato, ngamuri-ingira mu Owuami owua ku igulu, yaaya.* 4 Kutio omuntu-umuntu oisiizie ansi yawa ki omwana ono, nio omuntu omunene okirre woona mu Owuami owua ku igulu.* 5 Kandi omuntu-umuntu oingiizie omwana omuto ki ono, ku eriina riange, anyingiizie inze.*

Ogera Omukristo na airana enyima mu okuganya ariwona owululu

Ewintu ki ewio paka wiweeo, ni kuriweera omuntu owireeta wululu ino!

8 “Ni kuri mbwe okukono namba okugulu kwao nikwo okugera no oingira mu owuoni, kukenge kuemeo okurigize ale. Kulootu no oingiire mu owulamu no owula ne ekiimo ekilala, okukira okuwa na amakono awiri na amagulu awiri, no owutuukre origizwe mu omurro ogwa amiire goona. 9 Kandi ni kuri mbwe eriiso riao nirio erigera no oingira mu owuoni, rikumbule riemeo oririgize ale.

Olugero olwa igondi eriateeka

(Luuk 15:3–7)

10 Yesu yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Omuntu ataaza yatoola wutono namba omulala ku awantu awanganyireko ki awaana awato wano. Aeniki mbalaga mbwe *enyankoi awawaimeriire ku igulu wawarra Soifu ori ku igulu mu amiiso enyinga ziona. 11 [Aeniki *Omuzia owa Omuntu yaaza okununula awantu awaateeka.]

Na akuwuriire, irania empurizanio agati yaao ni wamwinyu oyo.* 16 Ni, na alowere okuwurra agaao, toola omuntu omulala namba awantu wawiri mumugieko, kugere ‘amangʼana goona gasigikwe na awantu wawiri namba wasatu.’†* 17 Na akialowere-ulowa, ta amangʼana ago emberi wa ekaniisa.

21 Nikuemao Petro yaaza ku Yesu amuwuuzia otino, “Omwami, nsugaane ndekere wamwifu onkoriire uwiiwi aa kameka? Musamvu, kusi aa kameka?”

22 Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “Yaaya, ngʼa musamvu, ni na amakumi musamvu ni musamvu.**

23 “Kutio Owuami owua ku igulu wukafwananiwua no omwami omulala owagalanga okuwala ewintu ewia yata mu amakono aga awemirimo waae.* 24 Mu okutanika-utanika otino, omuntu owawanga no omusango gwae ogwa amasendi amangi ino† yareetwa emberi waae. 25 Olwa okuoloola omusango kwamukira, omukangasi oyo yasikirra mbwe iye ni mukaae, na awaana waae, alala ne ewintu ewia waawanga nawio wiona, wiguziwue amasendi kugere omusango ogwo guoloolwe. 26 Owemirimo oyo yagwa mu amasigamo gaae emberi wa omukangasi waae, na amuiyemba na awoola otino, ‘Ganya ompe iwaga, nyiza okukuoloola omusango gwao gwona.’ 27 Omukangasi waae yamuambra amasaasra mala amurekera omusango ogwo gwona kandi amulekula agia.*

28 “No olwa owemirimo oyo yafuma na agia, ya-agaana owemirimo omwina waae owawanga no omusango gwae ogwa amasendi amatono.‡ Yamuamba igosi atanika okumugoga na amulaga mbwe, ‘Mpoloole omusango gwange ogwa ori nagwo!’

Yesu agerera ku okurekana no omukazi

(Mari 10:1–5; Luuk 16:18)

1 Olwa Yesu yamala okuwoola amangʼana gano, yafuma Galiili agia mu ekitemo ekia Yudeea,* ekiri engereka indi eya oluuzi olwa Yordaani. 2 Omurima omungi ogwa awantu gwamulonda kandi yalamia awalwire awaawanga agati yaawu.

3 *Awafarisaayo wandi wamuuzako okumugeezaania. Waamuwuuzia watino, “Endagirra iifu lwona eganyiire omusaaza okurekana no omukazi waae ku ingʼana-uingʼana?”

4 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inywe mukiari okusoma mbwe mu owutanikro Omulusi ‘yawaluka omukazi no omusaaza,’† 5 kandi awoola mbwe, ‘kuno kugera omusaaza areka swae ni ngʼina mala yaizoga ni mukaae, kandi awantu wawiri awo wawa ekintu ekilala’?†* 6 Kutio awantu awo ngawari wawiri yaaya, ni wari ekintu ekilala. Kandi kutio ekia Katonda ateere alala, omuntu ataaza yagawula, yaaya.”

7 Waamuwuuzia mbwe, “Ekigera ni Muusa yasikirra mbwe omusaaza aesa oku-aa omukazi waae itu eria okurekana, mala yarekana nae kane niki?”*

8 Yesu yawairania otino, “Muusa yawaganyira okurekana na awakazi wiinyu aeniki emitwe giinyu giawanga emikalu. Ni ngʼanintio kwawanga okuemera mu owutanikro, yaaya. 9 Mbalaga mbwe omuntu-umuntu orekaane ni mukaae, ni kutari mala ku amangʼana aga okugia ku owuriri no omusaaza wundi, mala yatoola omukazi wundi, omuntu oyo ari omusoodani.”*

10 Awalonzi waae waamulaga watino, “Ni kuri mbwe nintio amangʼana gari agati ya omukazi no omusaaza, kane kulootu no omuntu atakwere.”

11 Yesu yawairania otino, “Ngʼani mbwe woona waesa okuingizia ingʼana rino.

Omuntu oesa okuingizia ingʼana rino, asugaane akole otio.”

Yesu asereeke awaana awato

(Mari 10:13–16; Luuk 18:15–17)

13 Awaana awato waareetwa ku Yesu, kugere awateeko amakono kandi awasawire. Na awalonzi waae waagaania awantu awaawareeta awo. 14 Ni Yesu yawoola otino, “Mureke awaana awato wanyizeko, kandi mutawalowera yaaya. Aeniki Owuami owua ku igulu wuri owua awantu awari ki awaana wano.”* 15 Yata amakono ku awaana awo, nikuemao yafuma ao.

Omuwuuka omunyazi

(Mari 10:17–27; Luuk 18:18–27)

16 Omuntu wundi yaaza ku Yesu amuwuuzia otino, “Omugerezi, ekilootu ekia nsugaane nkole kugere ntuukre owulamu owutawua niki?”

17 Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “Ombuuzia ekintu ekilootu kolaki? Omulootu no omulala wengʼene. No oagala owulamu owutawua, rinda *ensikirra.”

18 Omuntu oyo yamuwuuzia mbwe, “Ensikirra eziriai?”

Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “Ensikirra kiomo ‘Otaita, otasooda omukazi owa owundi, otaiwa, otata ku omuntu amangʼana aga owuweeyi, 19 tia swao ni ngʼinwao,’† alala ni ‘gonzia omwina waao kiomo oigonziizie iwua omwene.’† ”*

20 Omuwuuka oyo yamulaga otino, “Ensikirra zino ziona miire okurinda, ekia nkeeyire niki katio?”

21 Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “No oagala okuwa omulongoole owula ne ekintu ekikukeeyire, gia oguzie ewintu wiao wiona, otoole ewia onatuukramo o-ee awataka, nikwo ooza okuwa no owuwiiko ku igulu. No omiire okukola otio, ooze ondonde.”*

22 Olwa omuwuuka oyo yawurra otio, yafuma agia na awula no owusangaavu namba wutoono, aeniki yawanga no owunyazi wungi.*

23 Nikuemao Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe kuri kukalu omunyazi okuingira mu Owuami owua ku igulu. 24 Lwona mbalaga mbwe kuri kunyoowu engamia okuingira mu iwundu eria esindaano okukira omunyazi okuingira mu *Owuami owua Katonda.”

25 Olwa awalonzi waae waawurra ingʼana erio, waazinduka ino kandi waawuuzia watino, “Oesa okununulwa katio naanu?”

26 Yesu yawawarra mala awoola otino, “Ku omuntu kino ngakiesekana, ni ku Katonda ewintu wiona wiesekana.”*

Ekia turituukra ku okulonda Yesu

(Mari 10:28–31; Luuk 18:28–30; 22:28–30)

27 Petro yamuirania mbwe, “Omwami, ifwe tureekere ewintu wiona tukulonda! Niki ekia turieewua katio?”

28 Yesu yawalaga mbwe, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe, ne ewintu wiona wiiza okugalusiwua wiwe ewiyia, olwa *Omuzia owa Omuntu ari-ikala ku entewe yaae eya owunene, inywe awamiire okunonda mwona muri-ikala ku entewe ikumi ni iwiri ezia owuami, okukengera ewiriango ikumi ni wiwiri ewia Israeli ekiina.* 29 Kandi omuntu ki omuntu omiire okureka amayumba, namba waamwawu awekizia, namba awekiala, namba swae, namba ngʼina, namba awaana, namba emisiri ku amangʼana gange, aaza okutuukra mia kilala kangi okukira kandi arituukra owulamu owutawua.* 30 Na awantu awangi awakangaate wariwa enyima, kandi awantu awangi awari enyima warikangata.”*

Olugero olwa awemirimo mu omusiri ogwa omuzabiibu

1 Yesu yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “*Owuami owua ku igulu wuesa okufwananiwua ni ngʼina omusiri owafuma kunkio okugia okuagala awemirimo waaze wamukorre mu omusiri ogwa *omuzabiibu. 2 Yaganyana nawo mbwe yaazanga okuwaoloola edinaari endala ku owuire, nikuemao awatuma mu omusiri gwae.

“Yafuma kandi agia akola owufwanani ni zigia okutuuka enyinga ezia mukaaga, ne enyinga ezia kienda. 6 Ne enyinga ikumi ne endala ziawanga ampi, yafuma kandi agia atuukra awantu wandi ni ewaimeriire ampi ao. Yawawuuzia otino, ‘Ekigera ni mumiire okuwa ni muimeriire ano owuire wuona ni mukola wusa niki?’

7 “Iwo waamuirania mbwe, ‘Aeniki awulao omuntu omiire okutu-aa emirimo.’

“Yawalaga mbwe, ‘Kane mwona mugie mukole emirimo mu omusiri gwange.’

8 “Olwa kwatuuka igulo, ngʼina omusiri yalaga owemirimo waae owawanga na aimeriire awemirimo wandi otino, ‘Eta awemirimo wange kugere owaoloole omusaara gwawu. Tanika na awatoorrwe lunyima.’*

9 “Awemirimo awaawanga ni watoorrwe enyinga ezia ikumi ne endala waaza, kandi omulala ki omulala yaeewua edinaari endala. 10 Kutio olwa awantu awatoolwa kuluweri waaza, waaingirizianga mbwe iwo wanaeewua amasendi amangiko. Ni woona waaeewua mala edinaari endala-ndala. 11 Olwa waamala okutoola, waatanika okungʼongʼoonra ngʼina omusiri ni wawoola watino, 12 ‘Awantu awatoorrwe lunyima wano iwo wakorre emirimo mala ku enyinga endala engʼene, ni nyingeeno owa-aa omusaara owuagani ni ifwe awakorre emirimo emikalu ku iwasu owuire wuona.’

13 “Ni iye yawairania omulala ku iwo na amulaga otino, ‘Omwiko wange, wuwulao owuwi owua nkukoriire namba wutoono. Ngatwawurzania mbwe nyiza okuku-aa edinaari endala ku emirimo giao? 14 Toola omusaara gwao ogie.

16 Yesu yamariizia na awoola mbwe, “Kutio okangaate ariwa enyima, kandi ori enyima arikangata.”*

Yesu agamba-gambre olwa okusatu ku okufwa kwae

Owuire owua okusatu, aaza okuziusiwua awe omulamu kandi!”**

Okusawa okwa ngʼinwawu Yowaana ni Yakoobo

(Mari 10:35–41)

20 Nikuemao ngʼinwawu Yowaana ni Yakoobo, awazia awa Zebeedi yaaza ku Yesu na awazia waae wawiri. Yakubra Yesu amasigamo ansi amusawa mbwe aganye amukorre kiomo yagalanga. 21 Yesu yamuwuuzia mbwe, “Oagala nkukorreki?”

Yamuirania na awoola otino, “Ganya omulala ku awazia wange wawiri wano aikale nyakukono kwao okusaaza no owundi nyakukono okumosi mu owuami wuao?”*

22 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ngamumanyire ekia musawa. Inywe mwona muesa okunywera ekikombe ekia eminyako-nyaako ekia nyiza okunyweramo?”

Wamuirania ni wawoola mbwe, “Ee tuesa.”*

23 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Kuwuene okunywa ni muuza okunywera mu ekikombe ekia noona nyiza okunyweramo. No okuikala nyakukono kwange okusaaza namba okumosi ngʼani inze oesana iwaga, yaaya. Amawaga ago, na aga awantu awa Soifu Katonda nio oteeriire.”*

24 Olwa awalonzi ikumi wandi waawurra watio, waawona uwiiwi na awazia wawiri awa omuntu omulala awo.

Oagala okukangata paka awe omukurumu owa awandi

(Mari 10:42–45; Luuk 22:24–30)

25 Yesu yawaeta alala mala awalaga mbwe, “Mumanyire mbwe awaami awa awantu awa ekialo kino wari awatinzi kandi walagana amaani aga wari nago ku awantu awa wakangatiire. 26 Ku inywe ngʼanintio kusugaane kuwe, yaaya.

Yesu alamiizie awawuunu wawiri

(Mari 10:46–52; Luuk 18:35–43)

29 Ni Yesu na awalonzi waae waafumanga Yeriiko, awantu awangi ino waamulonda. 30 Awawuunu wawiri waawanga ni waikaale ku entulo eya engira, kandi olwa waawurra mbwe Yesu yawitanga, waaogerera wukaalu watino, “Omwami *Omuzia owa Daudi, tuambre amagongi!”

31 Awantu awaawanga mu omurima ogwo waawagaania mbwe wasarigire, ni iwo waaogerera wukalu okukira ni wawoola mbwe, “Omwami Omuzia owa Daudi, tuambre amagongi!”*

32 Yesu yaemerra kandi awaeta. Yawawuuzia otino, “Ekia muagala mbwe mbakorre niki?”

33 Waamuirania mbwe, “Omwami, tuagala okuwona.”

34 Yesu yawa-ambra amagongi mala a-amba amiiso gaawu. Ao-ao, waatanika okuwona kandi wamulonda.*

Yesu aingiziiwue Yerusaleemu ne ekisangaalo

(Mari 11:1–11; Luuk 19:28–40; Yowa 12:12–19)

1 Ni waawanga ampi okutuuka Yerusaleemu, ni wari Bethfaage ku ekigiri ekia *Zaituuni, Yesu yatuma awalonzi waae wawiri 2 na awalaga otino, “Mugie mu ekitemo ekiri emberi kiiria, aa mugia okutuukrao entikiri embuuka ne esiwirwe ao alala ni ngʼina wayo. Muzisiwule, muzindetere ano. 3 No omuntu awawuziizie ekintu, mumulage mbwe Omwami nio oziagala, kandi aaza okuzireka muuze nazio ni watawanyaasiizie na amangʼana amangi.”

4 Kino kiaikola okutuusia amangʼana agaawoolwa no *omugambi mbwe:

5 “Laga Omwala owa *Sayuuni* mbwe,

6 Awalonzi awo waafuma wagia wakola ekia Yesu yawalaga ekio. 7 Waareeta entikiri alala no omwana wayo, watoola enguwo ziawu wazitaako nikwo Yesu aniina aikala ku entikiri embuuka eyo. 8 Omurima omungi ogwa awantu waa-anzuula enguwo ziawu ku engira, na awandi waavuna ensagia ezia emiti waziazia ku engira.* 9 Awantu awaawanga emberi na awaawanga enyima waae waaogerera ni wawoola watino,

“Osaana† ku *Omuzia owa Daudi!

Asereekwe iye ooza ku eriina eria *Omwami Katonda!†

10 Olwa Yesu yaingira ku omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu, yazegezia omugizi ogwo kandi awantu waatanika okuwuuzia watino, “Ono naanu ono kane?”

11 Omurima ogwawanga ni Yesu gwairania otino, “Ono ni Yesu, omugambi owa Katonda oema Nazareeti mu ekialo ekia Galiili.”**

Yesu arumuusie awaguzi mu ekaalu olwa okuwiri‡

(Mari 11:15–19; Luuk 19:45–48)

12 Yesu yaingira mu *ekaalu mala arumusia awantu awayatuukra ni waguzia kandi ni wagula ewintu omwo. Yafulukania emeesa ezia awagalusi awa amasendi, alala ne entewe ezia awantu awaaguzianga amaemba-emba. 13 Yawalaga otino, “Kwajojwa mbwe ‘Enyumba yange eeza okuetwa enyumba eya okusawa’† ni inywe mugigaluusie ‘Owuiwiso owua awasakuzi.’† ”

14 Awawuunu na awarema waamuuzako mu ekaalu, kandi yawalamia.* 15 No olwa awakangasi awa *awoozia na *awagerezi awa endagirra waawona ewintu ewikate-kaate ewia Yesu yakola kandi awaana ni wakuba erioga mu ekaalu ni wawoola mbwe, “Osaana ku Omuzia owa Daudi,” waawurra nawo uwiiwi ino. 16 Okwo kwagera ni wawuuzia Yesu watino, “Owurra ewia awaana wano wawoola?”

Yawairania mbwe, “Ee, inywe mukiari okusoma mu endagano mbwe,

“ ‘Ogerre eminwa egia awaana awato na awakianuuna

17 Nikuemao yawareka afuma ku omugizi ogwo, agia paka Bethania, agia agona eyo.

Yesu afuuwre omuti ogwa omukuyu gukala

(Mari 11:12–14, 20–24)

18 Enkio walwo kunkio ni Yesu yairananga ku omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu, enzala yamurianga. 19 Yawona omuti ogwa omukuyu ku entulo eya engira, mala agugiako na aingirizia okugutuukrako ensaafu. No olwa yatuukra mala amatu gengʼene, yagulaga otino, “Otaaza wa-aamia ensaafu kandi!” Ao-ao, omuti ogwo gwakala.*

20 Olwa awalonzi waae waawona ekiaikola ekio, waaluguula ni waawuuzia watino, “Omukuyu guno gureetre otie okukala wuangu-wuangu otino?”

21 Yesu yawairania otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe ni muweere no okuganya aa muwula ni kaoozi, ngamuuza okuwa no owuesani owua okukola mala ekikoriirwe omukuyu guno kiengʼene, ni muuza okuwa no owuesani owua okulaga namba ekigiri kino mbwe, ‘Gemuka oeme ano, ogie oirigize mu enyanza,’ kandi kuuza okuikola.* 22 Ni muweere no okuganya, muuza okutuukra ewintu wiona ewia musawire Katonda ni musawa.”*

Awakangasi awa Awayaudi wawuuziizie Yesu aa amaani gaae gaema

(Mari 11:27–33; Luuk 20:1–8)

23 Yesu yaingira mu olwanyi olwa ekaalu kandi ni yagereranga, awakangasi awa awoozia alala na *awagaaka awa *Awayaudi waamuuzako wamuwuuzia watino, “Amaaniiki aga okola nago ewintu ewia okola wino? Okueere amaani gano naanu?”

24 Yesu yawairania otino, “Noona nyagala okuwawuuzia okuwuuzia okulala. Ni munyiraanie, noona nyiza okuwalaga amaani aga nkola nago ewintu ewia nkola wino. 25 Yowaana yatuukrai amaani aga okubatiisa awantu? Gamuemera ku igulu ku Katonda, kusi ku awantu?”

Waaikululana mu amangʼana agati yaawu aweene watino, “Ni tuwoorre mbwe ‘Gaamuemera ku igulu’ aaza okutuwuuzia mbwe, ‘Ekiawalowera okumuganyako katio niki?’ 26 Ni, ni tuwoorre mbwe, ‘Gaamuemera ku awantu,’ tutiire awantu wano aeniki woona watoola Yowaana ki omugambi owa Katonda.”*

27 Kutio waairania Yesu mbwe, “Ifwe ngatumanyire.”

Nikuemao Yesu yawalaga mbwe, “Noona ngʼanyiza okuwalaga aa amaani aga nkola nago ewintu wino gaema.”

Olugero olwa awazia wawiri

28 Yesu yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Muingirizia mutie? Yawangao omuntu owawanga na awazia wawiri. Yagia ku omulala amulaga mbwe, ‘Mwana wange, reero gia okole emirimo mu omusiri ogwa *omuzabiibu.’

31 “Ku awazia wawiri wano, owakola ekia swawu yagalanga naanu?”

Waamuirania mbwe, “Omuzia owasooka.”

Yesu yawalaga otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe awasolozi awa *omusolo na awasondo wawasookra okuingira mu *Owuami owua Katonda!* 32 Aeniki Yowaana yaaza okuwalaga engira eya owuigolovu, ni ngamukamuganyako, na awasolozi awa omusolo alala na awasondo iwo waamuganyako.

Olugero olwa omugomo ogwa enserezi

(Luuk 14:15–24)

1 Yesu kandi yagamba-gamba nawo mu olugero na awoola otino, 2 “*Owuami owua ku igulu wuesa okufwananiwua no omwami owaikazizia omuzia waae omugomo ogwa enserezi.* 3 Yatuma awemirimo waae ku awantu awaaetwa mu omugomo ogwo, wagie wawalage mbwe waaze, ni waalowa okuuza chee.

34 Olwa Awafarisaayo waawurra mbwe Yesu akirre Awasadukaayo mu amangʼana, waaikumia alala. 35 Nikuemao omulala ku iwo, owawanga na amanyire *ensikirra ino, yagia amugeezaania no okuwuuzia kuno:

36 “Omugerezi, ensikirra enene ekirre ziona, ne eriai?” 37 Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “ ‘Gonzia *Omwami Katonda waao no omwoyo gwao gwona, ne enkolo yaao yoona kandi na amaingirizio gaao goona.’† 38 Eno nie ensikirra esookere kandi eri enene okukira ziona. 39 Ne eya okuwiri efwana nayo: ‘Gonzia omwina waao kiomo oigonziizie iwue omwene.’† 40 Amangʼana aga Muusa yajoja goona, alala na amangʼana aga *Awagambi awa Katonda goona, gaisimbiriire ku ensikirra iwiri zino.”*

Kristo ari Omuzia owa Daudi

(Mari 12:35–37; Luuk 20:41–44)

41 Na Awafarisaayo waawanga ni waikumiizie alala, Yesu yawawuuzia otino, 42 “Inywe muingiriziaki ku *Kristo?† Ari omuzia owa anu?”

Waamuirania mbwe, “Ari *Omuzia owa Daudi.”

43 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Kuwa kutie mbwe Daudi, na agamba-gamba na aizuziiwue no *Omwoyo Omweru, amueta ‘Omwami’? Aeniki omwene awoola mbwe,

44 “ ‘Omwami Katonda yalaga Omwami wange otino,

23 Yesu yairania na awoola mbwe, “Omuntu oiniizie omukaati ni inze mu oludaawo ono, nio ooza okunguzia.* 24 Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okufwa aemeo mala kiomo kwajojwa ku iye. Ni kuriweera omuntu omuguziizie wululu ino! Kukaweere geeza ku iye, ni yareka okuiwulwa.”*

Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “Ee, ni iwue mala kiomo omwene owoorre.”*

Amasaai aga endagano empia

(Mari 14:22–25; Luuk 22:19–20; 1Kori 11:23–25)

26 Ni waarianga, Yesu yatoola omukaati aikazia Katonda, agugenyula nikwo agu-aa awalonzi waae na awalaga otino, “Mutoole murie. Guno no omuwiri gwange.”

27 Nikuemao yatoola ekikombe, aikazia Katonda nikwo aki-aa awalonzi waae na awalaga otino, “Mutoole munywere ekikombe kino inywe mwona. 28 Gano na amasaai gange aga *endagano, agafukwa kugere Katonda arekere awantu awangi amawi gaawu.** 29 Mbalaga mbwe ngʼanyiza okunywa edivaai eema ku ensaafu eya *omuzabiibu kandi, nawuno kutuuke olwa ndirinywa edivaai empia mu owuami owua Soifu Katonda.”

Yesu awoorre mbwe awalonzi waae waaza okumurumuka

(Mari 14:26–31; Luuk 22:31–34; Yowa 13:36–38)

30 Olwa waamala okuemba olwembo otino, waafuma ni wawariire ekigiri ekia *Zaituuni.*

31 Nikuemao Yesu yawalaga otino, “Owuire wuno ni wukiari okukia, kirio ekintu ekigia okunyiikorra, ekiiza okugera inywe mwona mundumuke. Ni kutio mala kiomo kwajojwa mbwe:

Yesu asawa Gethsemaani ku ekigiri ekia Zaituuni

(Mari 14:32–42; Luuk 22:39–46)

36 Nikuemao Yesu na awalonzi waae waagia watuuka asi aetwa mbwe Gethsemaani. Yesu yawalaga otino, “Muikale ano, inze ngia okusawa aaria.” 37 Yatoola Petro na awazia wawiri awazia awa Zebeedi agia nawo. Yatanika okuwurra owululu kandi okuinyaasia ino mu omwoyo gwae. 38 Nikuemao yawalaga mbwe, “Mpurra owululu mu omwoyo gwange ino, aa wuagala okunzita. Muweere ano kandi muwe amiiso alala ni inze.”

39 Yesu yagia emberi wutono nikwo agwa amafunikira kandi asawa otino, “Soifu, ni kuesekana, ganya ekikombe ekia eminyako-nyaako kino kimbite. Ni kutaaza kwawa ku okuagala kwange yaaya, ni kuwe kiomo omwene wagala.”*

40 Yairana ku awalonzi waae atuukra ni wagona. Kutio yawuuzia Petro otino, “Okuwa amiiso ni inze namba ku enyinga endala engʼene kuwakirre? 41 Muwe amiiso kandi musawe kugere mutagwa ni mugeezaniwua. Omwoyo guagala, no omuwiri mudewenyu.”*

42 Yawareka kandi olwa okuwiri agia asawa otino, “Soifu, ekikombe ekia eminyako-nyaako kino ni kuesekana okitooleo ntakinyweramo, ni reka okuagala kwao kuikole.”*

Yesu aguziiwue kandi a-ambrwe

(Mari 14:43–52; Luuk 22:47–53; Yowa 18:1–11)

47 Yesu ni yawanga na akiagamba-gamba, Yudaasi omulala ku awalonzi ikumi ni wawiri yawatuukako, na ari no omurima ogwa awantu awagingre emiambe egia olugangala ne ewirungu. Awantu wano waawanga ni watumirwe na awakangasi awa awoozia alala na awagaaka awa *Awayaudi okuuza okuamba Yesu. 48 Kuno kwatuukra no omuguzi yawanga na amiire okuwurzania nawo mbwe, “Omuntu owa munawona ni nuunre, niye. Mumuambe, mugie nae.” 49 Yudaasi yagia ku Yesu owuigoloole, amulaga otino, “Oikaziwue Omugerezi,” nikuemao amunuuna.

50 Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “Omwiko wange, kino nikio ekikureetre ano?”

Nikuemao awantu awo waaza emberi, wa-amba Yesu. 51 Okwo kwagera omulala ku awalonzi waae yaira okukono, azomola omwambe gwae ogwa olugangala, aguta ku owemirimo owa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia, amukewa okutwi kuwuera ansi chee.

52 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Irania omwambe mu ensawo yagwo!

55 Ku enyinga ezio, Yesu yalaga omurima ogwo otino, “Munyiziire ne emiambe egia olugangala ne ewirungu ki awagia okuamba omukangasi olwania esirikaali otino kolaki? Nyamiire okuwa ni nyikala ni inywe mu olwanyi olwa *ekaalu ni ngerera owuire ki owuire, mutampamba? 56 Ni kino kiikorre kugere amangʼana aga *awagambi awa Katonda waajoja gatuuke kuwuene.” Nikuemao awalonzi waae woona waarumuka wamureka.*

(Mari 14:53–65; Luuk 22:54–55, 63–71; Yowa 18:12–14, 19–24)

57 Awantu awa-amba Yesu wano, waamutoola wamuira ku Kaifa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia. *Awagerezi awa endagirra na awagaaka waawanga ni waikumiizie aa Kaifa. 58 Ni Petro yamulonda enyima ale wutono nawuno watuuka ku olwanyi olwa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia. Yaingira aikala na awarinzi okuwona ekiagianga okuikola.

59 Awakangasi awa awoozia no *oluwuga olwa awagaaka awa Awayaudi, waagarizia amangʼana ku awawoni awa owuweeyi agawaesanga okuingirra Yesu nago kugere akengerwe ekiina ekia olumbe. 60 Ni ngawakatuukra, kukawa mbwe awawoni awangi awa owuweeyi waaza emberi wawoola amangʼana gaawu.

Owutuukre wawiri waaza emberi 61 wawoola watino, “Omuntu ono yawoola mbwe, ‘Nyesa okuona ekaalu eya Katonda kandi ngiomboke ku amiire asatu.’ ”*

62 Nikuemao Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia yaimerra alaga Yesu otino, “Ngoirania ingʼana ku ewintu ewia wakuwoolako wino, kolaki?” 63 Ni Yesu yasarigira-usarigira kiri.

Omukangasi owa awoozia yamulaga otino, “Ifuuwa ku eriina eria Katonda omulamu mbwe ni iwue *Meesia Omuzia owa Katonda.”

64 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Ee, kuri mala kiomo iwue omwene owoorre mbwe ni inze. Ni mbalaga inywe mwona mbwe muuza okuwona Omuzia owa Omuntu na aikaale nyakukono okusaaza okwa Katonda aa amaani gari, kandi na aaza ku amare aga ku igulu.”*

65 Nikuemao Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia yatandula enguwo yaae na awoola otino, “Omuntu ono aifwanania ni Katonda! Tuagarraki omuwoni wundi kandi? Ee, aweene muema okumuwurra na aifwanania ni Katonda.* 66 Inywe muingirizia mutie ku amangʼana gano?”

Waamuirania mbwe, “Asugre no olumbe.”

67 Nikuemao waamufuuzako amate ni wamukuba ewifunzi, na awandi ni wamukuba empiu* 68 ni wamulaga mbwe, “Tulageeko amangʼana aga owugambi, iwue Meesia. Okukubre naanu?”*

Petro alowa mbwe ngamanyire Yesu

(Mari 14:66–72; Luuk 22:54–65; Yowa 18:25–27)

69 Kwatuukra Petro na aikaale enze ku olwanyi, olwa owemirimo owekiala yamugiako awoola otino, “Iwue oona wawanga ni Yesu Omugaliili ono.”

70 Ni Petro yalowa ingʼana erio emberi wa awaawanga ao woona na awoola mbwe, “Namanyire ekia owoola, iwue.”

71 Nikuemao yafuma agia ku ekikulo, aa owemirimo owekiala wundi yamuwona kandi alaga awantu awaawanga ao otino, “Omuntu ono yawanga ni Yesu Omunazareeti.”

72 Petro yalowa amangʼana ago na aifuuwa mbwe, “Inze namanyire omuntu ono!”

73 Ne enyinga entwini ziamala okuwita, awantu awaawanga ni waimeriire ao waagia ku Petro wamulaga otino, “Kuwuene ori omulala ku iwo, aeniki namba kiomo onawula amangʼana kwona kukuamba.”

74 Nikuemao yatanika okuifuuwa omwene na aria endagano na awalaga otino, “Awiifu inze omuntu ono, namumanyire, yaaya!”

Ao-ao, engoko yalagula. 75 Nikuemao Petro yaingirizia ingʼana eria Yesu yaa na awoorre mbwe, “Engoko ne ekiari okulagula, ooza okulowa kasatu mbwe ngomanyire.” Yafuma enze kandi arra wululu ino.*

3 Olwa Yudaasi owaguzia Yesu yawona mbwe Yesu akengerwe ekiina ekia olumbe, owululu wuamuingirra mala afuma airanizia awakangasi awa awoozia alala na awagaaka efeedha ziawu amakumi asatu, aga waamu-aa* 4 na awoola otino, “Nkorre owuoni aeniki nguziizie omuntu omweru owula no owuoni.”

Ni iwo waamuirania mbwe, “Ekio ngʼane ekintu ku ifwe yaaya. Ago mangʼana gaao.”

5 Kutio Yudaasi yazigiza amasendi ago mu *ekaalu, ataao na agia. Nikuemao yagia aigoga afwa.

Yesu ari mu ekiina emberi wa Pilaato

(Mari 15:2–15; Luuk 23:2–4, 13–25; Yowa 18:39—19:16)

11 Olwa Yesu yairwa emberi wa omukangasi Pilaato, yamuwuuzia otino, “Mbwe iwue ni iwue omwami owa Awayaudi?”

Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “Omwene ni iwue owoorre otio.”*

12 Olwa yaingirrwa na awakangasi awa awoozia na awagaaka awa Awayaudi, ngakairania ekintu. 13 Nikuemao Pilaato yamuwuuzia otino, “Ngowurra amangʼana aga wakuingirra nago gano?” 14 Ni Yesu ngakairania namba ingʼana ilala ku amangʼana aga waamuingirra nago, ekintu ekialuguuzia Pilaato ino.*

15 Mu omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka, yawanga enkola eya omukangasi owa Awaruumi, okusiwula okuema mu owusiwe, omusiwe omulala owa omurima ogwa Awayaudi walowoole. 16 Ku enyinga ezio, yawangao omusiwe omulala omukianyaanya ino owaetwanga Barabaasi. 17 Kutio olwa omurima gwaikumia, Pilaato yawawuuzia otino, “Omuntu owa muagala mbasiwurre agati ya Barabaasi ni Yesu, oetwa mbwe *Meesia ono, naanu?” 18 Yawoola otio aeniki omwene yawanga na amanyire mbwe iyari nirio eriagera ni wata Yesu mu amakono gaae.

19 Ni Pilaato yawanga na aikaale ku entewe yaae eya okukenga ekiina, omukazi waae yamutumra *omutumwa na amulaga otino, “Otaaza waganya okukorra omuntu omweru owula no owuoni oyo ekintu ekiwiiwi. Inze omwene miire okuinyaasia ino mu amalooto ku amangʼana gaae owuire owua reero wuno.”*

20 Na awakangasi awa awoozia na awagaaka awa Awayaudi waagalusia omurima ogwa awantu kugere wasawe Pilaato awasiwurre Barabaasi, ni Yesu mbwe aitwe.

21 Omukangasi yawawuuzia kandi mbwe, “Ku awantu wawiri wano, owa muagala mbasiwurre naanu?”

Waamuirania ni wawoola mbwe, “Barabaasi!”

22 Yawawuuzia kandi otino, “Katio nkole entie ni Yesu oetwa mbwe Meesia ono?”

Waamuirania ni wawoola mbwe, “Muwambe!”

23 Pilaato yawawuuzia mbwe, “Kolaki? Niki ekia akorre ekisugre no olumbe?”

Ni iwo waaogerera wukalu okukira ni wawoola mbwe, “*Muwambe ku omusalaaba!”

24 Olwa Pilaato yawona mbwe okugamba-gamba kwawu ngakukatunzianga ekintu, ni kwareetanga mala erioga eringi, yatoola amanzi aisaawa emberi wa omurima ogwa awantu awo. Olwa yamala okukola otio, yawalaga otino, “Inze mbula ni inywe mu okusuluzia amasaai aga omuntu ono. Ni inywe amasaai gaae gariko!”*

25 Awantu awo woona waawoola watino, “Reka amasaai gaae gawe ku emitwe giifu ifwe alala na awaana wiifu!”*

26 Nikuemao Pilaato yawasiwurra Barabaasi. Ni yasikirra mbwe Yesu akubwe enkowa nikwo amuta mu amakono gaawu okugia okuwambwa ku *omusalaaba.

Awa-iiye wasuusia Yesu

27 Nikuemao awa-iiye awa Pilaato omukangasi owa Awaruumi waatoola Yesu waira mu ekambi yaawu kandi wakumia omuganda omungi ogwa awa-iiye wamuikumiako wamuisunguuzia. 28 Waamuvuulako enguwo, nikwo wamuingizizia enguwo endiire enzakanyu.* 29 Nikuemao, waazinga engata eya amawua wamuingizizia ku omutwe ki ekigudu ekia owuyaayi kandi watoola ensimbo, wamuteera mu okukono okusaaza. Olwa waamala okukola otio, wamukubra amasigamo ansi okumusuusia ni wamulaga watino, “Oikaziwue, omwami owa Awayaudi?”* 30 Waamufuuzako amate kandi wamutoolako ensimbo eyo mu amakono, watanika okumukuba nayo ku omutwe, entunda enyingi.* 31 Olwa waamala okumusuusia otio, waamuvuulako enguwo endiire enzakanyu eyo, wamuingizizia enguwo ziae ezia eyawanga nazio. Nikuemao waafuma nae okugia okumuwamba ku omusalaaba.*

Okuwambwa okwa Yesu ku omusalaaba

(Mari 15:21–32; Luuk 23:26–43; Yowa 19:17–27)

32 Ni waagendanga, waagaana omuntu owa Kureene owaetwanga mbwe Simioni. Awalangra waanigirizia omuntu oyo okuginga omusalaaba ogwa Yesu yawanga na agingre. 33 Waagia watuuka asi aa-etwa mbwe Goligootha, (erilagana mbwe asi aa Ekiyanga ekia Omutwe). 34 Ao waatoola edivaai ezogerwe ne endulwe wa-aa Yesu. Yagigusa, nikuemao alowa okuginywa.* 35 Olwa waamala okumuwamba ku omusalaaba, waagawana enguwo ziae ni wakuba ensiiti ** 36 Waaikala ansi ao okumuwarra. 37 Awandi waamuteera amangʼana aga yaingirrwa nago ku omutwe ogwa omusalaaba, agaawoolanga mbwe: ono ni yesu, omwami owa awayaudi.* 38 Awasakuzi wawiri waawambwa nae, omulala nyakukono okusaaza, no owundi nyakukono okumosi.* 39 Awawitangira waamurigizra amanyego, eno ni watenzia emitwe giawu* 40 ni wawoola watino, “Iwue owazanga okuona ekaalu kandi ogiomboke ku amiire asatu, nyingeeno inunulako omwene kato! Ika ansi oeme ku omusalaaba, no ori Omuzia owa Katonda!”*

41 Mu engira endala eyo, awakangasi awa awoozia, *awagerezi awa endagirra alala na awagaaka awa Awayaudi, woona waamurigizra amangʼana ni wawoola watino, 42 “Mbwe yanunula awandi, no omwene ngaesa okuinunula! Mbwe ari omwami owa Awayaudi. Kane ka-aike aeme ku omusalaaba mbenanu! Na akorre otio, tuuza okumuganyako.* 43 Mbwe ateere omwoyo gwae ku Katonda. Katonda ka-amununule katio, ni kuri mbwe amuagala. Aeniki omwene amiire okuwa na awoola mbwe, ‘Ndi Omuzia owa Katonda.’ ”* 44 Mu engira endala eyo, awasakuzi awaawambwa nae woona waamuzigizra amanyego.

Okufwa okwa Yesu ku omusalaaba

(Mari 15:33–41; Luuk 23:44–49; Yowa 19:28–37)

45 Ekierema kia-amba ekialo kiona okutanikra ku enyinga mukaaga, kutuuka enyinga kienda.* 46 Ni ziawanga ampi okutuuka enyinga kienda, Yesu yarra no omwoyo ogwa kungulu na awoola otino, “Eli, Eli, lama sabakithaani?” erilagana mbwe, “Katonda wange, Katonda wange, ondekere kolaki?”†

47 Olwa awandi ku awantu awaawanga ni waimeriire ao waawurra otio, waawoola mbwe, “Nguyo katio aeta Eliija.”

48 Kalala, omulala ku iwo yarumuka agia atoola esiponji aingizia mu amalwa amalulu pe, mala agitoola agisiwa ku ekiti nikwo airra Yesu ku omunwa mbwe anywe.* 49 Awiina waae waamulaga mbwe, “Mureke katio tuwoneko ne Eliija aaza okuuza okumununula.”

Owuawizi owua Yesu mu iwuuta

(Mari 15:42–47; Luuk 23:50–56; Yowa 19:38–42)

Okuziuka okwa Yesu

(Mari 16:1–8; Luuk 24:1–12; Yowa 20:1–10)

1 Olwa *Sabato yamala okuwita, enkio walwo kunkio kumagambaazi, owuire owusookere ku omudiira, Maaria omwala owa Eumagidaala ni Maaria wundi oria, waagia okuwarra ekiwaga ekia Yesu.

2 Nikuemao ekialo kiazegera wukalu, aeniki *enyankoi owa *Omwami Katonda yaika na aema ku igulu agia agalangasia oguwaale ogwawanga ni guigaaleo omunwa ogwa iwuuta agutoolao mala aguikalako kungulu. 3 Embonekano yaae yafwananga olumesi kandi enguwo ziae ziawanga enzeru zerre ki idaafu. 4 Owuti wua-amba awarinzi ino kandi waa-adada wagwa ansi wakala ngʼa ki ewitundu.

5 Ne enyankoi oyo yalaga awakazi awo otino, “Mutatia yaaya, aeniki manyire mbwe muagala Yesu *owawambwa ku omusalaaba. 6 Awula ano, aeniki amiire okuziuka mala kiomo yawoola. Muuze muwone asi aa yawanga na ateerwe.* 7 Kutio, mugie wuangu-wuangu mulage awalonzi waae mbwe amiire okuziuka aemere ku awafu kandi wuno amiire okuwakangatra emberi agiire Galiili, kandi mugia okumutuukra eyo mumuwone. Mugie, miire okuwalaga.”*

8 Kutio awakazi awo waa-anguya waema ku ekiwaga ao ni wakiari no owuti kandi eno ni wari no owusangaavu owungi. Waarumuka okugia okulaga awalonzi awa Yesu ekingʼana ekio. 9 Ku engira ni wagia, Yesu yawafumira kalala awalaga otino, “Mbakeeziizie.” Waamugiako wamuifunamra, wamuamba amagulu ni wamu-aa owunene. 10 Nikuemao Yesu yawalaga otino, “Mutatia. Mugie mulage waamwifu wagie Galiili aa ngia okuwawona.”*

Amangʼana aga awarinzi ku okuziuka okwa Yesu

11 Na awakazi awo waawanga ni wakiari ku engira, awandi ku awarinzi awaarindanga ekiwaga waagia ku omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu, wagia walaga awakangasi awa *awoozia ewintu wiona ewiaikola. 12 Awakangasi awa awoozia waaikala na *awagaaka awa *Awayaudi kandi wawurizania ku ekia wasugaane wakole. Waa-aa awarinzi awo amasendi amangi 13 kandi wawalaga watino, “Muwoole mbwe, ‘Awalonzi waae waazre owuire ni tugona, waiwa omuwiri gwae.’* 14 Amangʼana gano ni gaizukre gatuuke ku omukangasi Pilaato, ifwe aweene tuuza okugamba-gamba nae tuwafumie mu amangʼana ago.” 15 Kutio, awarinzi awo waatoola amasendi kandi wakola kiomo waalagwa. Amangʼana gaawu gano gamiire okuilanzia ino agati ya Awayaudi okutuuka nyingeeno.

16 Nikuemao awalonzi ikumi ni mulala waagia Galiili, ku ekigiri ekia Yesu yawanga na awalagre mbwe wagieko.* 17 Olwa waamuwona, waamuifunamra ni wamu-aa owunene, na awandi ku iwo waawanga ni wakiari no okuingirizia mbwe andi ngʼani iye.* 18 Yesu yawagiako kandi awalaga otino, “Amaani goona ku igulu ni ku ekialo gamiire okuteewua mu amakono gange.* 19 Kutio, mugie mu ewialo wiona mugalusie awantu wawe awalonzi wange, ni muwabatiisa ku eriina eria Katonda Ise, eriina eria Omuzia no *Omwoyo Omweru.* 20 Muwagerere okulonda amangʼana goona aga miire okuwasikirra, kandi muwe no okumanya mbwe nyiza okuwa ni inywe amiire goona nawuno mu owutuuko owua ekialo.”*

Yowaana Omubatiisi alonga engira

(Math 3:1–12; Luuk 3:1–18; Yowa 1:19–28)

1 Gano na amangʼana amalootu agari kuwuene ku ewintu ewia Yesu *Kristo Omuzia owa Katonda yakola ku ekialo.*

2 Kiomo Katonda yawoola mu ebuuki eya *awagambi* otino,

“Wona, nyiza okutuma *omutumwa wange emberi waao,

ooza okukulongera engira yaao.”†*

3 “Omwoyo ogwa omuntu oetana mu ekeewa otino,

‘Mulongere Omwami engira,

mumugololre engira ewe enyigolovu.’ ”†

4 Omuntu oyo yawanga Yowaana, yafuma mu ekeewa atanika okulanzizia awantu mbwe wagaluke wareke amawi, wabatiiswe kugere Katonda awarekere owuoni wuawu. 5 Awantu awangi ino awa mu ekialo ekia Yudeea no omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu waagia ku Yowaana. Waawoola amawi gaawu owuyanga, nikwo Yowaana yawabatiisa mu oluuzi olwa Yordaani. 6 Yowaana yawanga na aiwoya enguwo ezia owuvwiri owua engamia, kandi yawanga no omukanda ogwa iseero mu ensinzi yaae. Yarianga amadeede no owuuki owua mu isaka.* 7 Yawalanzizia otino, “Omuntu ooza enyima wange ari omukaate okunkira, owa ngʼasugre namba okuikirra okusiwula engoe ezia ewiraato wiae. 8 Inze mbabatiisa na amanzi, ni iye aaza okuwabatiisa no *Omwoyo Omweru.”*

Yesu abatiisrwe na amanzi kandi no Omwoyo Omweru

(Math 3:13–17; Luuk 3:21–22)

9 Mu amiire ago, Yesu yaema Nazareeti mu ekialo ekia Galiili, kandi yagia abatiiswa ni Yowaana mu oluuzi olwa Yordaani. 10 Olwa Yesu yafuma mu amanzi otino, yawona igulu ni ri-iguka kandi Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yaika nawuno amuguirrako mu embonekano eya iemba-emba. 11 Kandi omwoyo gwaemera ku igulu ogwawoola gutino, “Iwue ni iwue omuzia wange owa ngonziizie, kandi owa nsangaarre nae.”*

Yesu ageezaaniwua ne Ekikeeno

(Math 4:1–11; Luuk 4:1–13)

12 Nikuemao otino, Omwoyo Omweru yamutoola amuira mu ekeewa. 13 Yawa mu ekeewa eyo ku amiire amakumi ane ni *Sataani amugeezaania. Yawanga eyo ne entiangʼi ezia mu isaka, kandi *enyankoi waamutunzia.*

Yesu atanika emirimo egia okulanzia amangʼana amalootu

(Math 4:12–17; Luuk 4:14–15)

14 Ni Yowaana yawanga na amiire okuingiziwua mu owusiwe, Yesu yaaza owaawu Galiili okulanzia amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda.* 15 Yawoolanga otino, “Enyinga zimiire okutuuka kandi *Owuami owua Katonda wuri ampi. Kutio mugaluke mureke amawi giinyu, muganye amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda.”

Yesu aetre awalonzi waae awa kuluweri

(Math 4:18–22)

16 Ni Yesu yawitanga ku omwalo ogwa enyanza eya Galiili, yawona Simioni ni wamwawu waae Andereeya ni wari mu enyanza ni watega engoe, aeniki waawanga awavuwi. 17 Nikuemao yawalaga otino, “Muuze mundonde, ni nyiza okuwagerera okuvuwa awantu ni muwandeetako.” 18 Waafuma wuangu-wuangu wareka engoe ziawu walonda Yesu.

19 Ni Yesu yagia emberi wutono, yawona Yakoobo ni wamwawu waae Yowaana, woona awazia awa Zebeedi, ni wari mu owuato wuawu wanawa engoe. 20 Ku enyinga ezio yawaeta, kandi waareka swawu Zebeedi na awemirimo waae mu owuato, wamulonda.

Yesu ari na amaani aga okufumia ewikeeno

21 Waairana Kapernaumu kandi olwa owuire owua *Sabato wuatuuka otino, Yesu yaingira mu *esinagoogi kandi atanika okugerera awantu. 22 Awantu awaamuwurra na agerera waaluguula ino, aeniki yagereranga geeza kandi na amaani, ni ngʼani ki *awagerezi awa endagirra.*

23 Enyinga ezio, yawangao omuntu owawanga ne ekikeeno ekiwiiwi mu esinagoogi yaawu omwo. 24 Omuntu oyo yarra wukalu otino, “Otuagalakooki, iwue Yesu Omunazareeti? Wuno oozre okutumala? Nkumanyire owa ori. Ni iwue Omweru oemere ku Katonda.”* 25 Ni Yesu yasiagizia ekikeeno ekio na awoola otino, “Sarigira kiri, kandi fuma omuemeko!” 26 Ekikeeno ekiwiiwi ekio kiagera omuntu oyo aitaza-taza, kandi kiarra wukalu nikwo kifuma kimuemako. 27 Amangʼana ago ga-amba eminwa egia awantu awaawangao woona. Kutio waaiwuuzia agati yaawu watino, “Gano amangʼanaaki gano? Eno ne engerera empia efwana etie eno? Agamba-gambra namba *ewikeeno ewiwiiwi na amaani nawuno wiamuwurra.”

28 Kino kiagera eriina riae rimanyika kalala asi-uasi mu ewialo wiona ewiri ampi ni Galiili ao.

Yesu alamiizie awantu awangi

(Math 8:14–17; Luuk 4:38–41)

29 Olwa yafuma mu esinagoogi otino, Yesu alala ni Yakoobo ni Yowaana, waagia waingira mu enyumba eya Simioni ni Andereeya. 30 Maaziala Simioni yawanga omwo na agona ku ekitanda no omuwiri guri omuyu le, alwala.† Waamulaga mbwe omukazi oyo yawanga omulwire. 31 Yesu yamugiako amuamba okukono amuemia kungulu, kandi owulwire owuo wuamureka; kandi yatanika okuwa-aa okuria warie.*

32 Igulo olwo, ne enyanga egia okugwamo, waareetra Yesu awantu woona awaawanga awalwire namba awaawanga ne ewikeeno. 33 Awantu woona awa Kapernaumu waaikumia mu ekiriango ekia enyumba okuwona. 34 Yalamia awantu awangi awaalwalanga amalwire agagawukane-gawukaane kandi yawafumiamo ewikeeno ewingi. Ngakaganyira ewikeeno ewio okugamba-gamba, aeniki wiawanga ni wimumanyire.

Yesu alanzia amangʼana amalootu Galiili

(Math 4:23–25; Luuk 4:42–44)

35 Enkio walwo kunkio kungoko, Yesu yafuma omwene agia asi andi aa akawa omwene, kandi yasawa Katonda ao.* 36 Lunyima, Simioni na awantu wandi awaawanga nae waafuma okumuagala aa ari. 37 Waamutuukra kandi wamuwuuzia watino, “Eno nio ori, na awantu woona wakuagala eria?” 38 Yesu yawairania otino, “Kutunigirizia mbwe tugie mu emigizi egiri emberi ano, kugere ndanzie amangʼana amalootu omwo mwona, aeniki ekio nikio ekiagera ni nyiza ku ekialo.”

39 Kutio yagenda-genda mu ekialo ekia Galiili kiona na alanzia mu amasinagoogi gaawu kandi na afumia ewikeeno ku awantu.*

Yesu alamiizie omuntu owa owugenge

(Math 8:1–4; Luuk 5:12–16)

40 Ni Yesu yagenda-gendanga, omuntu owa owugenge yamugiako, amukubra amasigamo ansi kandi amusawa otino, “Nkusawa mbwe no oganyire, oesa okunyeruyia mbe omweru.” 41 Yesu yamuambra amasaasra, amugiako ampi kandi agolola okukono kwae amuamba na amulaga otino, “Ee, nganyire. Wa omulamu!” 42 Mu enyinga ziazane ezio, omuntu oyo, owugenge wuamuwuako chwe, alama.

43 Yesu yamureka agie enyinga ezio kandi amugaania wukalu 44 na amulaga otino, “Otaaza walaga omuntu ekia nkukoriire kino, ni gia oilagane ku *omuozia kandi ofumie omusango ogwa Muusa yasikirra awantu awalamre ku owugenge, kiwe ekilago ku awantu woona mbwe olamre.”*

45 Kukawa mbwe Yesu yamugaania otio, iye yatanika okulaga awantu mbwe Yesu nio omulamiizie kandi amangʼana ago gaailanzia ino. Okuilanzia okwa amangʼana ago kwalowera Yesu okugia mu emigizi na awantu wamuwona. Yaweeranga aaiwisre. Ni kukawa kutio, awantu waaemanga mu ewialo wiona ni wamugiako.*

Yesu ari na amaani aga okurekera awantu amawi

(Math 9:1–8; Luuk 5:17–26)

1 Lunyima, Yesu yairana Kapernaumu. Olwa awantu waawurra mbwe amiire okuirana ari engo, 2 awantu waamugiako awangi awaizula enyumba kutambuka ekiriango, aa otatuukra aa otaza. Ni Yesu yawalanzizianga amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda, 3 awantu wane waamuirra omuntu omulwire owa omuwiri gwae gwafwa engʼanzi mbwe amulamie.

4 Ni ngawakatuukra iwaga eria okutuuka ampi ni Yesu, aeniki ngawaesanga okuwita omurima ogwa awantu awangi awaawanga ao. Kutio, waaniina kungulu watagula olusala aiwariire ni aa Yesu yawanga; kandi olwa waamala okuowola asi asugre, waaisia omulwire oyo na aigoloole ku owuriri, mu enyumba. 5 Olwa Yesu yawona okuganya okwa waawanga nakwo, yalaga owa omuwiri gwafwa engʼanzi oyo otino, “Mwana wange, amawi gaao orekeerwe.”*

6 *Awagerezi awa endagirra awaawanga ni waikaale ao waatanika okuiwuuzia mu emioyo giawu watino, 7 “Omuntu ono agamba-gamba atie? Aifwanania ni Katonda! Naanu oesa okurekera awantu owuoni ogawuuke ni Katonda omwene?”

8 Mu enyinga ezio Yesu yamanya mu omwoyo gwae ekia waaiwuuzia mu emioyo giawu ekio. Kutio yawawuuzia otino, “Ekigera ni muiwuuzia ku amangʼana gano mu emioyo giinyu niki? 9 Mundageko ekiwuuwu okukola, okulaga omulwire mbwe, ‘Amawi gaao orekeerwe,’ nakuwa okumulaga mbwe, ‘Ema otoole owuriri wuao ogie’? 10 Ni kugere mumanye mbwe *Omuzia owa Omuntu ari na amaani aga okurekera awantu amawi ku ekialo kuno…” yalaga omulwire oyo otino,* 11 “Nkulaga mbwe, ema otoole iseero riao ogie engo.”

12 Mu enyinga ezio, yaema atoola iseero riae afuma na agia na awantu woona wamuwona. Kutio, awantu woona awaawanga ao waaluguula ino kandi waatondowola Katonda ni wawoola watino, “Tukiari okuwona ekintu ekifwana kitino.”

Yesu yaaza okueta awooni

(Math 9:9–13; Luuk 5:27–32)

13 Yesu kandi yairana ku omwalo ogwa enyanza eya Galiili. Awantu awangi waamugiako kandi yatanika okugerera amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda.

14 Olwa yamala okuwagerera kandi ataao na agia, yawona Laawi * omuzia owa Alfaayo na aikaale mu enyumba omwa awantu waafumiangamo *omusolo. Yesu yalaga omuntu oyo mbwe, “Ndonde,” kandi ao-ao Laawi yaema atanika okumulonda.

15 Lunyima, ni Yesu yarianga omwa Laawi, awasolozi awa omusolo na ‘awooni’ awangi waaikala okuria nae alala na awalonzi waae. Aeniki awantu awangi ino waamulonda. 16 Olwa *Awafarisaayo awaawanga awagerezi awa endagirra waawona Yesu na aria na ‘awooni’ na awasolozi awa omusolo, waasoozia awalonzi waae watino, “Ekigera na aria na awasolozi awa omusolo na ‘awooni’ niki?”

17 Olwa Yesu yawurra okuwuuzia okwo, yawalaga otino, “Awiifu kane awalwire, nganiwo awaagala omurezi? Awalamu iwo waagarraki omurezi? Inze ngʼanyakaaza okueta awantu awigolovu, ni nyaazra awooni.”*

Engerera eya Yesu egawuuke ne eya Awafarisaayo

(Math 9:14–17; Luuk 5:33–38)

18 Awalonzi awa Yowaana na Awafarisaayo waawanga ni wasiwa aa wataria okuria amiire gandi. Kutio, awantu wandi waagia ku Yesu wamuwuuzia watino, “Ekigera na awalonzi awa Awafarisaayo na awa Yowaana wasiwa okuria, ni iwue awaao ngawasiwa okuria niki?”* 19 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Kuwa kutie mbwe awageni awa mu owugeni owua enserezi waesa *okusiwa okuria ni ngʼina enserezi akiari nawo? No omwene enserezi akiari nawo ngawaesa okusiwa okuria.* 20 Amiire gaaza aga ngʼina enserezi oyo aaza okutoolwao awaemeko, nikwo warisiwa okuria mu amiire ago. 21 Awulao omuntu oesa okunawa ekiraka ekiyia ku enguwo enkiire. Ni na akorre otio, ekiraka ekiyia ekio kiiza okutanduka kieme ku enguwo eyo, kandi asi atanduku ao asigale awiiwi okukira. 22 Lwona, awulao oesa okuta edivaai empia mu ekimuga ekia edivaai ekia iseero ikulu. Ni na akorre otio, edivaai eyo eeza okuzimbia iseero erio ritanduke kandi edivaai eyo efugike, kandi ekimuga ekia iseero ekio kioneke. Kutio, edivaai empia eteewua mu ekimuga ekia iseero iyia.”

Yesu nio Omwami owa Sabato

(Math 12:1–4; Luuk 6:1–5)

23 Owuire wulala, olwa *Sabato, Yesu yawitanga mu emisiri egia engaano. Ni waawitanga omwo, awalonzi waae waatanika okuiiya ewigala ewia engaano ni waria.* 24 Kutio Awafarisaayo waalaga Yesu watino, “Wonako! Ekigera na awalonzi waao waiiya ewigala ewia engaano olwa Sabato niki, ne endagirra iifu ngetuganyiire okukola otio?”* 25 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inywe mukiari okusoma ekia Omwami Daudi yakola olwa iye alala na awantu awayawanga nawo waawurranga enzala? 26 Yagia mu enyumba eya Katonda, amiire aga Abiaatha yawanga *Omuozia omunene, aeewua kandi aria emikaati egitengeekwe emberi wa Katonda, egia endagirra etaganyiire omuntu-umuntu okuria mala omuozia engʼene; kandi yaesania egindi ku awantu awaawanga nae woona wagiria.”*

27 Yesu yamariizia na awoola mbwe, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe, Katonda yateerao omuntu Sabato ni Katonda ngakalukira Sabato omuntu.* 28 Kutio, Omuzia owa Omuntu no omwami owa namba Sabato.”*

Yesu alamiizie omurema olwa Sabato

(Math 12:9–14; Luuk 6:6–11)

1 Owuire wundi Yesu yaingira mu *esinagoogi, kandi omuntu yawanga omwo owa okukono kwae kwaremera, kuigoda. 2 *Awafarisaayo waagalanga ekintu ekia wakamuingirra nakio mbwe aonre *Sabato. 3 Yesu yalaga omuntu owa okukono kwae kwaremera oyo otino, “Iza emberi ano.” 4 Nikuemao yawuuzia awaagalanga engira eya okumuamba awo otino, “Endagirra iifu etuganyiire okukolaki olwa Sabato, okukola geeza nakuwa okukola owuwiiwi? Okutunzia owulamu owua omuntu nakuwa okumuita? Ni iwo waasarigira kiri.”

5 Yesu yawawarra no okusu awasunguuzia, kandi yawa-ambra amasaasra ku okuwa kwawu ne emioyo emikalu, nikwo alaga omuntu oyo otino, “Golola okukono kwao.” Yagolola okukono kwae kandi okukono okwo kwairana kuwa okulamu ngʼese.

6 Awafarisaayo waafuma omwo wagia wata ekiina enyinga ezio okuwurzania na awantu awa Omwami *Eroode okuagala kiomo wakamuita.*

7 Yesu yafuma ao na awalonzi waae agia ku omwalo ogwa Galiili, kandi awantu awangi owuluku awaaema mu ekialo ekia Galiili waamulonda. Lwona awandi awangi waaema Yudeea, 8 Yerusaleemu ni Idumea, ne ewialo ewiri engereka indi eya oluuzi olwa Yordaani. Awandi woona waaema mu ewialo windi ewilondokana ne emigizi egia Taaya ni Sidooni. Awantu wano waamulondanga nikulondokana ne ewia waamuwurrako mbwe akola. 9 Awantu waawa awangi ino kugera Yesu alaga awalonzi waae mbwe watoole owuato aniine kandi wawusindike mu amanzi wutono kugere awantu watamuisindiganiako. 10 Aeniki yawanga na amiire okulamia awantu awangi, kandi woona awaawanga na amalwire waamuisindiganiako ni waagala mbwe wamuambeko. 11 Enyinga ziona ezia *ewikeeno ewiwiiwi wiawonanga Yesu, wiagwanga ansi emberi waae ni wimulaga witino, “Iwue no Omuzia owa Katonda.”* 12 Ni Yesu yawisiagizia wukalu mbwe witamumanyisia ku awantu wamanye owa yawanga.*

Yesu alowoole awatumwa ikumi ni wawiri

(Math 10:1–4; Luuk 6:12–16)

13 Yesu yaniina agia mu ekigiri kandi yaeta awalonzi waae awa yaagalanga mbwe wamugieko; kandi waamuuzako. 14 Ku awantu wano, yalowola awantu ikumi ni wawiri awa yaeta mbwe *awatumwa waae awaazanga okuwa nae kandi awa yaazanga okutuma okugia okulanzia 15 kandi oku-aa amaani aga okukira nago ewikeeno.*

16 Awalonzi waae awo waawanga, Simioni owa Yesu yaluka mbwe Petro, 17 Yakoobo ni wamwawu waae Yowaana awazia awa Zebeedi, (awa Yesu yaluka mbwe Bonagiisi, okulagana mbwe, awazia awa olukuwa); 18 Andereeya ni Piliipo, Batholomeo, Mathaayo, Thomaasi, Yakoobo omuzia owa Alfaayo, Thadaayo, Simioni Omusiani, 19 ni Yudaasi Iskarioti, owaguzia Yesu.*

Awantu waingirizia mbwe Yesu akola na amaani aga Belzebuuli

(Math 12:22–30; Luuk 11:14–23)

20 Olwa Yesu yairana Kapernaumu, awantu awangi waamulonda nawuno waingira mu enyumba omwa yawanga. Awantu waawa awangi aa Yesu na awalonzi waae ngawakatuukra iwaga eria okuria. 21 Olwa ngʼinwae ni waamwawu waae waawurra ekingʼana ekio, waafuma okugia okumwirukira aeniki awantu wandi waawoolanga mbwe Yesu ari ni ilalu.*

22 *Awagerezi awa endagirra awaaema Yerusaleemu waawoola watino, “*Belzebuuli omukangasi owa ewikeeno amuriko, kandi nio omueere amaani aga afumia nago ewikeeno.”*

23 Yesu yalaga awantu mbwe wamugieko ampi. Yagamba-gamba nawo na awalaga otino, “Muingirizia mbwe *Sataani kiesa okumpa amaani aga okufumia ewikeeno otie? 24 Owuami ki owuami owugawukaane, ngawuesa okuimerra. 25 Kandi no omugizi gugawukaane, ngaguesa okuimerra. 26 Ni Sataani kiesa okuilwania ekiene kandi kigawukane ekiene, ngakiesa okuimerra kandi kimiire okuimala kiwuere. 27 Lwona, awulao omuntu oesa okuingira mu enyumba eya omuntu omukalu amusakule ewintu wiae, na atasookre amusiwe. Nikuemao nikwo akatoola ewintu ewiri mu enyumba yaae.*

28 “Kuwuene mbalaga mbwe awantu awa ekialo waaza okurekerwa amawi gaawu goona namba okuona eriina eria Katonda okwa wamiire okuona. 29 Ni, no omuntu onyegere *Omwoyo Omweru, iye ngarirekerwa amawi gaae aeniki akorre amawi agatawua.”*

30 (Ekiagera Yesu na agamba-gamba otio, yawanga na amiire okuwurra na awantu wandi wawoola mbwe akola na amaani aga ekikeeno.)

Ngʼinwawu Yesu ni waamwawu Yesu awa kuwuene

(Math 12:46–50; Luuk 8:19–21)

31 Ngʼinwawu Yesu ni waamwawu Yesu awekizia waaza waimerra enze eya enyumba eya Yesu yawangamo, kandi waatuma amangʼana mbwe aetwe.* 32 Awantu awangi awaawanga ni waikaale wamuteere agati waamulaga watino, “Ngʼinwao ni waamwinyu awekizia wari enze ano, wakuagala.”

33 Yesu yawairania mbwe, “Ngʼinaifu naanu? Ni waamwifu naanu?” 34 Yawarra awantu awaawanga ni waikaale nae awo, nikwo awoola otino, “Muwone! Wano niwo ngʼinoifu ni waamwifu awekizia: 35 Omuntu-umuntu okola okuagala okwa Katonda nio ngʼinaifu kandi nio wamwifu owekiala ni wamwifu owekizia.”*

Olugero olwa omurimi owagia okumwa emwo

(Math 13:1–9; Luuk 8:4–8)

1 Owuire wundi kandi Yesu yatanika okugerera awantu ku ensanyaata eya enyanza. Omurima ogwa awantu awangi gwamuikumiako kugera aingira mu owuato aikalamo no owuato wuri mu amanzi. Omurima ogwa awantu ogwo iwo waawanga ku ensanyaata.* 2 Yesu yawagerera ewintu ewingi mu engero na awoola otino, 3 “Muwurre! Omurimi yagia okumwa emwo yaae. 4 Ni yamwanga, emwo indi yagwa ku engira kandi enyonyi ziaza zigiria chwe. 5 Eindi yagwa ku entare, asi aa ilowa riawulanga eringi. Eno yafuma wuangu-wuangu aeniki ilowa itono erio riawanga ni ri-iserengeere ku entare. 6 No olwa iwasu riafuma, emere eyo yakala kandi elala no okulala aeniki yawulanga ne emizi. 7 Emwo indi yagwa mu amawua, agaakoma ne emere mala gasindigania emere eyo, mala ereka okulawia emere. 8 Emwo indi yagwa mu ilowa ilootu, aa yamera, ekoma kandi elawa geeza kuwungi, eindi yalawa entunda amakumi asatu okukira eyamwewua, eindi entunda amakumi mukaaga, ne eindi entunda mia kilala okukira.”

9 Yesu yawoola otino, “Omuntu ori na amatwi aga okuwurra ka-awurre!”

Awalonzi awa Yesu wasanukuriirwe amangʼana agaiwisre

(Math 13:10–17; Luuk 8:9–10; 10:23–24)

10 Ni Yesu yawanga omwene, na *awatumwa waae ikumi ni wawiri alala na awantu wandi, waamuwuuzia ekigera na agamba-gamba mu engero. 11 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inywe ni inywe awaeerwe okumanya owueru owua ewintu ewiiwisre ewia *Owuami owua Katonda. Ni ku iwo awari enze, walagwa amangʼana goona mu engero.* 12 Na kutio, kukawa mbwe kuwuene wategerezia, ni ngawawurra, lwona kukawa mbwe wawarra, ni ngawawona. Ni wakawuriire kandi wawone, woona wakagaluuke warekerwe amawi gaawu.”†*

Ekia olugero olwa omuntu owamwa emwo lulagana

(Math 13:18–23; Luuk 8:11–15)

13 Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Kane mwona ngamukawurra olugero luno? Katio muuza okuwurra mutie engero zindi ziona ezia nyiza okuwagerera nazio?” 14 Emwo eya omuntu yamwa, na amangʼana aga Katonda. 15 Engira eya emwo yagwako, na awantu awaawurra amangʼana aga Katonda, ni wuangu-wuangu *Sataani kiiza kiawanyagula amangʼana agaamwewua ku iwo. 16 Olutare olwa emwo yagwako eimeriire awantu awawurra amangʼana aga Katonda, waagaingizia wuangu-wuangu no owusangaavu. 17 Ni aeniki wawula emizi, wawa nago ku amiire amatoono. Ni, ne eminyako-nyaako ne emidambo giiziire awantu awa Katonda, wairana enyima waagareka enyinga ezio. 18 Amawua aga emwo yagwamo, na awantu awawurra amangʼana aga Katonda, 19 no okuingirizia okwa owulamu owua ku ekialo kuno, ne esemerezanio eya owunyazi alala no okuagala okungi okwa ewintu, gaingira gasindigania amangʼana ago nawuno gaareka okuama ensaafu.* 20 Ilowa ilootu eria emwo yagwamo na awantu awawurra amangʼana aga Katonda wagaingizia, kandi waama ensaafu kangi okukira eyamwewua, awandi entunda amakumi asatu, awandi amakumi mukaaga na awandi woona entunda mia ekilala.

Kola no okumanya okwa ori nakwo

(Luuk 8:16–18)

21 Yesu kandi yatanika okuwalaga otino, “Ario oka-ambia ekimuri kandi yakifunikira ne ekidida, nakuwa yakita mu enkuriri? Ngakita ku emeesa kuwueru?* 22 Aeniki kiwulao ekintu ekiiwisre ekitaaza okuwoneka enze, lwona ekintu-ukintu ekisanikiirwe kiiza okusanukulwa.* 23 Omuntu ori na amatwi aga okuwurra ka-awurre!”

24 Yesu kandi yawalaga otino, “Muingirizie geeza ku ewintu ewia muwurra. Omurengo ogwa orenga nagwo nigwo iwue oona ooza okurengerwa nagwo, kandi orituukra kuwungi okukira ao.* 25 Aeniki, omuntu okola geeza ne ekia aegeekwe nio orisongwa. No omuntu otakola geeza ne ekia aegeekwe aaza okunyagulwa namba ekitono ekia yaegekwa.”*

26 Yesu yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Owuami owua Katonda wufwanana ne emwo eya omurimi akomeere mu omusiri gwae. 27 Owuire agona no omuwasu awona, ni ngamanyire kiomo emwo eyo efuma kandi ekoma. Emere ne emiire okufuma, 28 ilowa eriene nirio erigera ne ekoma nawuno yalawa. 29 Ne emiire okulawa, omurimi aaza ne engeso yagesa mu amiire aga igesa.”*

Olugero olwa emwo entono ewa omuti omukaate ino

(Math 13:31–33; Luuk 13:18–21)

30 Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Owuami owua Katonda tukawugeraania naki? Olugerooki olwa tukakuba okuwufwanania nawuo? 31 Owuami owua Katonda wufwana ne emwo eya karadaali, eri emwo entono ino okukira emwo zindi ziona ku ekialo. 32 Emwo eyo ne ekomeerwe, emera kandi yakoma nawuno yawa omuti omukaate okukira emiti giona, kandi etaako ensagia enkate-kaate ezia enyonyi ezia ku emiyaga ziomboka ewitalala mu ekiiruuzia kiagwo.”

Okugamba-gamba mu engero

(Math 13:34)

33 Yesu yawalanzizia amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda na akola ne engero ezifwana zitino, kangi nikulondokana no okuwurra kwawu. 34 Yesu ngakagamba-gamba nawo na atakorre no olugero; ni, ni yawanga na awalonzi waae wengʼene, yawalaganga owueru owua amangʼana ago goona.

Yesu aorezia omuyaga na amasiira

(Math 8:23–27; Luuk 8:22–25)

35 Owuire owuo iguulo, Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Tuambuke enyanza tugie engereka indi eria.” 36 Kutio awalonzi awa Yesu waareka omurima ogwa awantu ao wagia waingira mu owuato nae. Amaato gandi goona gaawalonda enyima. 37 Omuyaga omuzito ino gwatemuka kandi amanzi gaatanika okuingira mu owuato, aa wuagalanga okuniwa. 38 Okwo kwatuukra ni Yesu asigiike omutwe geeza ku ekisigikro nyakilumba ekia owuato, na agona. Awalonzi waae waamulamusia ni wakuba erioga watino, “Omugerezi, tutunzie! Ngowona ni tufwa amanzi?”

39 Yesu yalamuka alaga omuyaga otino, “Gwiriira.” Kandi alaga amasiira otino, “Muoreere.” Omuyaga gwagwiriira kandi amasiira gaaoreera.*

40 Nikuemao yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Muri awati otio kolaki? Kane muwula no okuganya mutino?”

41 Kukawa kutio, waawanga ni wakialuguula kandi waiwuuzia aweene watino, “Ono no omuntuki ono, owa namba omuyaga na amasiira gawurra?”

Yesu alamiizie omuntu ori ne ewikeeno

(Math 8:28–34; Luuk 8:26–39)

1 Waawunguka wagia watuuka engereka indi eya enyanza eya Galiili mu ekialo ekia Geraasi. 2 Olwa Yesu yamala okufuma mu owuato, omuntu ori ne *ewikeeno ewiwiiwi yamufumira mu ewiwaga.*

3 Omuntu ono yawanga na amenyere mu ewiwaga kandi awulao omuntu owaesanga okumuamba namba okumusiwa no omunyororo. 4 Ku amiire amangi yawanga na asiwirwe ne engoe ku amakono ne ewiuma ku amagulu. Ni yawutula engoe ezio ne ewiuma ewia waamusiwanga nawio amagulu. Yawulangao omuntu owaesanga okumuambirira. 5 Owuire no omuwasu yagenda-gendanga mu ewiwaga ni mu ewigiri na arra kandi na aikewa na amawaale iye omwene. 6 Olwa omuntu ono yawona Yesu na akiari ale, yarumuka amugiako kandi amukubra amasigamo ansi na amu-aa owuti. 7-8 Okwo kwatuukra ni Yesu amiire okulaga ekikeeno ekio mbwe, “Fuma omuemeko, iwue ekikeeno ekiwiiwi kino!” Ekikeeno ekio kiarra wukalu ni kiwoola kitino, “Onyagalakooki Yesu Omuzia owa Katonda omunene okukira? Nkuiyembere ku eriina eria Katonda mbwe ontamala.”*

9 Yesu yakiwuuzia mbwe, “Eriina riao naanu?” Kiairania mbwe, “Eriina riange ni Leejio, aeniki turi awangi.” 10 Kandi kiaiyemba Yesu ino mbwe atawarumusia awaire ale enze eya ekitemo ekio.

11 Kuno kwatuukra olwizo olwa enguruwe enyingi ni ziaaya ku ekigiri ampi ao. 12 Kutio ewikeeno ewio wiaisasaama Yesu witino, “Tuganyire tugie tuingire mu enguruwe ziiria.” 13 Kutio Yesu yawiganyira okukola otio. Ewikeeno ewiwiiwi ewio wiafuma wigia wi-ingira mu enguruwe ezio kandi olwizo olwawanga ne enguruwe ezikasuga elufu wiwiri, ziagondoka ne ekibuusi zigia zigwa ku oluwanga, ziolomoka mu enyanza mala zifwa ziona.

14 Awaayi awa enguruwe ezio, waarumuka wagia wawoola ewiaikola wino ku awa ku omugizi gwawu ni mu ekialo ekio. Kutio awantu awo waaza okuwona ekintu ekiawanga ni kiikorre ekio. 15 Waatuuka ku Yesu kandi wawona omuntu owawanga ne ewikeeno oyo na aikaale ao, na aingiizie enguwo kandi omutwe gwae ni guri omulootu. Ekio kiagera owuti wuwa-amba ino. 16 Awantu awaawona ekintu kino, waagia walaga awantu ekiaikorra omuntu owawanga ne ewikeeno oyo, ne ekiaikorra enguruwe. 17 Kutio awantu awo waatanika okuiyemba Yesu mbwe aeme mu ekitemo kiawu ekio agie.

18 Olwa Yesu yaingiranga mu owuato, omuntu owawanga ne ewikeeno oyo yamuiyemba mbwe amuganyire agie nae. 19 Ni Yesu yamulowera na amulaga otino, “Yaaya, gia engo ku awiiko waao ogie owalage kiomo Katonda akusasiire no owulootu owua akukoriire.” 20 Omuntu oyo yagia kandi atanika okugenda-genda ku emigizi giona ikumi na alaga awantu owulootu owua Yesu amukoriire. Awantu woona awaamuwurra, waaluguula ino.

Omwala owafwa aziuka, no omukazi omulwire owalama

(Math 9:18–26; Luuk 8:40–56)

21 Olwa Yesu ya-ambuka enyanza airana engereka indi atuuka ku omwalo ogwa Kapernaumu, omurima ogwa awantu awangi waagia wamuikumiako. 22 Nikuemao omukangasi owa *esinagoogi wundi, oetwa Jairo, yaaza. Olwa yawona Yesu, yakuba amasigamo ansi mu amagulu aga Yesu kandi 23 amuisasaama na awoola otino, “Omwala wange omutono ari omulwire ino aa enkolo yaae nie eguwa. Ganya tugie omuteeko amakono gaao kugere awe geeza kandi awe omulamu.” 24 Yesu yaganya afuma agia nae. Omurima ogwa awantu awangi waamulonda kandi waamuisindiganiako embega ziona.

25 Yawangao omukazi wundi owa enda yawanga ne emiire okuwa ne esulula ku emiaka ikumi ni iwiri.* 26 Yawanga na amiire okunyaka-nyaaka na afula-fula ku awarezi awangi, kandi yawanga na amiire okukola no owunyazi owua yawanga nawuo wuona. Ni owulwire owuo ngawukawua, ni wuaisonga okuwa owuwiiwi ino. 27 Yawanga na amiire okuwurra amangʼana aga awantu waawoolanga ku Yesu. Kutio yaingira mu awantu agia nyamugongo ogwa Yesu kandi a-amba ku enguwo yaae. 28 Aeniki yawoola omwene mbwe, “Ni mpambre namba enguwo yaae engʼene, nyiza okulama.” 29 Ku enyinga ezio, amasaai agaasululanga ago gaaimerra kalala, mala awurra mu omuwiri gwae mbwe alamre. 30 Yesu yawurra mu owulamu wuae mbwe amaani gafumre gamuemako, kutio yagaluka kalala awarra omurima ogwa awantu awaamuikumiako awawuuzia otino, “Oambre enguwo ziange naanu?”

31 Awalonzi waae wamuirania watino, “Ekigera no otuwuuzia okuambreko niki, ni kandi owona kiomo awantu wakusindigaanieko?” 32 Yesu iye yagia emberi na awarra eno ne eno okuwona omuntu omuambreko. 33 No omukazi oyo yamanya ekintu ekiawanga ni kimuikoriire, kutio yagia ku Yesu no owuti na adada kandi akuba amasigamo emberi waae amulaga owueru owua amangʼana goona. 34 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Omwala wange, okuganya kwao kukulamiizie. Gia no owuolu kandi wa owuyanga ku emidambo giao giona.”*

35 Ni Yesu yawanga na akiagamba-gamba, awantu wandi waaema omwa Jairo waaza wamulaga watino, “Omwala waao amiire okufwa. Katio ekikagera onyaasie Omugerezi wusaasa kiwulao.”

36 Ni Yesu iye yareka okuingizia ekia waawoola ekio, kandi yalaga omukangasi oyo otino, “Otatia, wa-uwa no okuganya.”

37 Yesu yalowera omuntu-umuntu okumulonda okuingira nae, ni yaingira mala ni Petro, Yakoobo ni Yowaana, wamwawu Yakoobo, wengʼene. 38 Olwa waatuuka ku enyumba eya omukangasi owa esinagoogi oyo, Yesu yawona awantu awaakubanga erioga eringi, na awandi ni warra kandi ni wakuba enkweri wukalu. 39 Olwa yaingira, yawawuuzia otino, “Ekigera ni mukuba erioga kandi murra niki? Omwana ono ngafwire, na agona.”*

40 Awantu awo waamusekera. Ni Yesu yawafumia enze woona, ni yatoola swawu omwana ni ngʼinwae alala na awalonzi awaawanga nae, aingira nawo aa omwana yawanga. 41 Ya-amba okukono kwae amulaga otino, “Taliitha kuumi”; elagana mbwe “Omwala omutono, mboola mbwe ema.”* 42 Omwala oyo yaema ku enyinga ezio, agenda-genda (yawanga ne emiaka ikumi ni iwiri), kandi ekintu ekio kia-amba awantu eminwa. 43 Yesu yawagaania wukalu mbwe omuntu wundi atamanya ekiaikola ekio kandi yawalaga mbwe wa-ee omwala oyo okuria arie.*

Omugambi ngaeerwe owuti mu ekialo kiawu

(Math 13:53–58)

1 Yesu yafuma asi ao na awalonzi waae agia ku omugizi gwawu. 2 Olwa *Sabato, yatanika okugerera mu *esinagoogi. Awantu awangi awaawurra engerera yaae waaluguula ni waiwuuzia watino, “Omuntu ono atoorrei amangʼana gano? Amagangaki aga ari nago gano? Akola amankono amakaate gatie gano?* 3 Ono ngʼanio omufundi owa amabaawu oria, omuzia owa Maaria, ori wamwawu Yakoobo, Yoseefu, Yudaasi ni Simioni? Kane waamwawu waae awekiala ngatumenyere nawo ano?” Kandi waalowa okuganya ku iye.*

4 Yesu yawalaga otino, “*Omugambi ngaeewua owunene mala mu ekialo kiawu kandi na awaawu wengʼene, ni mu ewialo windi aeewua owunene.”*

5 Kutio Yesu ngakakola amankono amakaate ao, ni yata amakono gaae ku awalwire awatono awalamia. 6 Yesu yawaluguula ino ku okutaganya okwa wataamuganyako.

Yesu atumre awatumwa waae ikumi ni wawiri

(Math 10:5–15; Luuk 9:1–6)

Yesu yagenda-genda mu ewitemo ewia ao na agerera awantu. 7 Yaeta awalonzi waae ikumi ni wawiri awatuma wawiri-wawiri okugia okulanzia kandi yawa-aa amaani aga okufumia *ewikeeno. 8 Yawalagirizia mbwe ni wagia olugendo olwo, wataginga ekintu-ukintu, ni watoole mala ensimbo engʼene. Wataginga okuria, ensawo eya olugendo, nakuwa amasendi ku emikanda giawu. 9 Ewiraato ni waiwoye, ni wataginga enguwo iwiri.

10 Yesu yamariizia na awalaga otino, “Mumenye mu enyumba eya muingiziiwuemo nawuno kutuuke mufume ku omugizi ogwo. 11 Ni, na awantu awa mu ekitemo kindi watawaingiizie kandi ni walowere okuwawurra, mukukumule egunduusi eri ku amagulu giinyu ni mufuma kiwe ekisiagizio ku iwo.”*

12 Waafuma wagia kandi walanzizia awantu watino, “Awantu wasugaane wagaluke wareke amawi gaawu.” 13 Waasawira awantu ni wawafumizia ewikeeno ewingi kandi *waawaka awalwire awangi na amavuta ni walama.*

Okuitwa okwa Yowaana Omubatiisi

(Math 14:1–12; Luuk 9:7–9)

14 Omwami *Eroode yawurra goona aga Yesu yakolanga, aeniki ewintu wino wiagera eriina riae rimanyika mu ewialo wiona. Awandi waawoolanga watino, “Yowaana Omubatiisi nio oziukre aemere ku awafu kandi ekio nikio ekigera na ari na amaani aga okukola amankono.”

15 Na awandi waawoolanga mbwe, “Andi ono ne Eliija.” Awandi woona mbwe, “Andi ono no omulala ku awagambi awakulu!”**

16 Olwa Eroode yawurra otio, yawoola otino, “Yowaana ngʼanyamukenga igosi afwa, kandi akawa omulamu atie?”

17 Okwo kwatuukra ne Eroode amiire okutuma awantu wa-amba Yowaana, wamuta mu owusiwe ku amangʼana aga Erodiasi muka wamwawu waae Piliipo, owa Eroode yawanga na atoorre okuwa omukazi waae. 18 Ni Yowaana yamuganianga enyinga ziona na amulaga mbwe, “Yaaya, endagirra iifu ngekuganyiire okutoola muka wamwinyu awe omukazi waao, wamwinyu na akiario omulamu!”** 19 Kino kiagera Erodiasi akola owuzigu ni Yowaana kandi yaagalanga mbwe aite Yowaana. Ni ngakaesanga aeniki 20 Eroode yatia Yowaana aeniki yawanga na amanyire mbwe Yowaana yawanga omuntu omulootu kandi omweru, kutio yamurinda geeza. Yawanga na agonziizie amangʼana aga Yowaana kukawa mbwe gaamunyaasianga enyinga ziona ezia yagawurranga.

21 Ne Erodiasi yatuukra iwaga eria okumuita, olwa Omwami Eroode yakola owugeni owua okugomera owuire owua yaiwurrwamo. Yaeta awakangasi awa mu owuami wuae na awakangasi awatiirwe mu ekialo ekia Galiili. 22 Olwa omwala owa Erodiasi yaingira kandi azina owuzina owuaomerezia Eroode na awageni waae, omwami yalaga omwala oyo otino, “Nsawe ekintu-ukintu ekia okaagala kandi nyiza okuku-aa.” 23 Omwami yamuifuuwira na awoola otino, “Ekintu-ukintu ekia onsawire nyiza okuku-aa, namba ni kuri enusu eya owuami wuange.”*

24 Omwala oyo yasomoka agia awuuzia ngʼinwae otino, “Niki ekia nsugaane nsawe omwami ampe?” Ngʼinwae yamuirania otino, “Gia omusawe omutwe ogwa Yowaana Omubatiisi.”

25 Omwala oyo yairana wuangu-wuangu ku omwami amulaga otino, “Nyagala mbwe ompe omutwe ogwa Yowaana Omubatiisi ku oludaawo, nyingeeno.”

26 Omwami yawurra uwiiwi ino mu omwoyo gwae; ni ku endagano eya omwene yata na amuifuuwira emberi wa awageni waae, ngakaesanga okuima omwala oyo ekia yamusawa. 27 Mu enyinga ezio, Omwami yatuma omulala ku awarinzi waae amulaga mbwe agie areete omutwe ogwa Yowaana. Omurinzi oyo yagia mu owusiwe akenga igosi eria Yowaana, 28 areeta omutwe ku oludaawo, kandi aguezania ku omwala oyo. Omwala oyo oona yagutoola aguirra ngʼinwae. 29 Olwa awalonzi awa Yowaana waawurra ekiaikola ekio, waaza watoola omuwiri gwae waguawira mu iwuuta.

Yesu aeere awantu awakirre elufu witaanu okuria

(Math 14:13–21; Luuk 9:10–17; Yowa 6:1–13)

30 Olwa *awatumwa awo waairana ku Yesu, waamulaga wiona ewia wagereere ne ewia wakorre.* 31 Awantu awangi waaweerao ni waingira kandi ni wafuma aa Yesu na awalonzi waae ngawakatuukra namba iwaga eria okuria, kutio Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Mutuingire mu owuato tugie asi aa iwisre kugere tutuukre iwaga tuwuluuke.” 32 Waafuma wawalama no owuato okugia aa awantu wawula, okuwa aweene.

33 Awantu awangi awaawawona ni wasiawala waagia waamanya aa waagianga, kutio awantu waaema mu emigizi giona egia ao ni wawita enze na amagulu wawasookera okutuuka aa waagianga. 34 Olwa Yesu yagowa ku omwalo kandi awona omurima ogwa awantu awangi ogwo, yawa-ambra amasaasra aeniki waafwananga amagondi agawula no omwayi. Kutio yatanika okuwagerera ewintu ewingi.*

35 Ni kwatuuka igulo, awalonzi waae waamugiako wamulaga watino, “Asi ano emigizi giwulao, ne enyinga ziona zimiire okugia ino. 36 Kutio laga awantu wagie waagale okuria mu emigizi ne ewitemo agiri ampi na ano, aweene wagie wagule ekintu ekia wakaria.”

37 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inywe aweene muwa-ee ekintu warie.” Waamulaga watino, “Amasendi agakagula emikaati egikasuga awantu wano na agaera edinaari mia wiwiri. Kutio ifwe tugie tuagalei okuria okwo tugule warie?” Nikuemao Yesu yawalaga otino, 38 “Muwarreko mbwe muri ne emikaati imeka?” Olwa waamala okuwarra, waamulaga watino, “Tutuukiire emikaati itaanu ne emvwa iwiri.”

39 Yesu yawasikirra mbwe awantu waikale ansi ku owusuwi ewifuwo-wifuwo. 40 Kutio waaikala ansi mu ewifuwo mia kilala ewia awantu amakumi ataanu-ataanu. 41 Yesu yatoola emikaati itaanu ne emvwa iwiri ziria. Yaginga amiiso gaae ku igulu, airanizia Katonda otioo nikwo agenyula emikaati. Nikuemao yatoola emikaati egio a-aa awalonzi waae wagigawre awantu awo. Kandi yagawa emvwa iwiri ezio ku awantu awo woona. 42 Woona waaria waiguta du. 43 Nikuemao waakunza ewimega ewia emikaati ne emvwa ewiasigala, mala wiizula ewidida ikumi ni wiwiri. 44 Awantu awaaria emikaati egio awekisaaza wengʼene waawanga elufu witaanu.*

Yesu agende-gendre ku amanzi

(Math 14:22–33; Yowa 6:16–21)

45 Nikuemao, Yesu yanigirizia awalonzi waae okuingira mu owuato wakangate emberi wagie engereka indi, aetwa Bethsaida. Ni iye yasigala enyima na asiwula omurima ogwa awantu awo wagie. 46 Ni yamala okusiwula awantu awo wagia, Yesu yaniina ku ekigiri omwene okusawa.*

47 Iguulo no owuato wumiire okugia ale ku owuziwa, ni Yesu yawanga na asigaale omwene ku ekialo, 48 yawona omuyaga ni gunyaasia awalonzi waae aeniki aa waavuganga ni wagia, nio aa omuyaga gwawanga ni guemara. Owuire ni wuri ampi okukia, Yesu yawagiako na agenda-genda ku enyanza. Yagia ki oagala okuwawitako, 49 no olwa waamuwona na agenda-genda ku amanzi, waaingirizia mbwe wawuine ekikeeno kandi owuti wuawa-amba mala watanika okukuba enkweri,* 50 aeniki woona waamuwona kandi owuti wuwa-amba ino. Mu enyinga ezio, Yesu yagamba-gamba nawo na awoola otino, “Mutafwa omwoyo, ono ni inze. Mutawa no owuti.”

51 Nikuemao, Yesu yaniina mu owuato owua waawangamo kandi omuyaga gwaoreera. Awalonzi waae waamuluguula ino,* 52 aeniki waawanga ni wakiari okumanya amaani aga Yesu yawanga nago kukawa mbwe nikwo yaemanga oku-aa awantu awakirre elufu witaanu okuria. Emioyo giawu giawanga emikalu.*

Yesu alamiizie awantu Genezereeti

(Math 14:34–36)

53 Olwa waamala okuambuka enyanza, waagia wagowa *Genezereeti, kandi wasiwa owuato ku ensanyaata. 54 Olwa waafuma mu owuato watino, awantu wamanyirizia Yesu kalala, 55 kutio waagia waira amangʼana mu emigizi egiri ampi ao giona kandi wareeta awalwire ku Yesu ni wagonere ku amaseero gaawu. 56 Asi-uasi aa yagia, kuwe mu emigizi, mu ewitemo, nakuwa mu ewialo wiawu, waa-azia awalwire mu ewiiyia kandi waamuiyemba mbwe areke wa-ambeko namba enguwo yaae kandi awa-amba enguwo yaae woona waalama.*

Endagirra ezia Awayaudi ne engerera ezia Yesu

(Math 15:1–9)

1 Owuire wulala *Awafarisaayo na *awagerezi awa endagirra wandi awaaema Yerusaleemu, waaikumia alala okugia ku Yesu, okumuagalako amangʼana. 2 Waatuukra na awalonzi waae wandi waria na amakono agataoziiwue kiomo enkola eya Awafarisaayo eagala. 3 Awafarisaayo na *Awayaudi waaisawanga nikulondokana ne enkola eya waaguukwa waawu. 4 Ni waaemanga mu ewiiyia, ngawakaesanga okuria ni wakiari okuisaawa kiomo enkola yaawu eagala. Waalondanga enkola zindi ziona ezifwana ne ezia okuozia ewikombe, entamu, ne endaawo.*

5 Kutio Awafarisaayo na awagerezi awa endagirra waawuuzia Yesu watino, “Ekigera na awalonzi waao ngawalonda endagirra ezia waaguukwa wiifu niki? Iwo waria na amakono amamwamu agataisaawrwe.” 6 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inywe awantu awaisemerezia wano! Kane Isaaya *omugambi yawanga kuwuene olwa yawagambako, kiomo kwajojwa mbwe:

“ ‘Awantu wano wampa owuti mala ne eminwa,

8 Murekere *ensikirra ezia Katonda kandi muisiwire ku nkola eziateewuao na awantu.” 9 Yesu yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “Muri no owuganga owua okulowa ensikirra ezia Katonda kugere murinde endagirra ziinyu! 10 Aeniki Muusa yawoola mbwe ‘Tia swao ni ngʼinwao’† kandi mbwe ‘Omuntu-umuntu onyegere swae nakuwa ngʼinwae paka aitwe.’† 11 Ni inywe muwoola mbwe omuntu olagre swae ni ngʼina mbwe ‘owuitunzi owua nkakueere miire oku-aa Katonda,’ 12 mumuganyiire mbwe kiwulao ekia asugaane a-ee swae ni ngʼinwae. 13 Ao otio, mutoola amangʼana aga Katonda ki agawula ne emirimo kugere mute endagirra ziinyu emberi. Lwona muri ne enkola zindi enyingi ezifwana zitio ezia mulonda.”

Ekintu ekiesa okumwamia omuntu

(Math 15:10–20)

14 Yesu yaeta awantu awaawanga ao woona wamuuzeko mala awalaga otino, “Mutege amatwi muwurre: 15 Kiwulao ekintu ekiri enze eki-ingira mu enda eya omuntu ekiesa okugera yawa omumwamu. Ne ewintu ewifuma mu omunwa ogwa omuntu, niwio ewigera no omuntu awa omumwamu.* 16 Ori na amatwi aga okuwurra ka-awurre!”*

17 Olwa Yesu yaema ku awantu awo yagia mu enyumba na awalonzi waae. Waamuwuuzia mbwe awalageko ekia olugero olwo lulagana. 18 Yesu yawairania otino, “Namba inywe mwona ngamuluwurra? Ngamuwona mbwe ekintu ekiema enze ni ki-ingira mu omuntu, ngakigera na awa omumwamu, 19 aeniki ngaki-ingira mu omwoyo gwae, ni ki-ingira mala mu enda yaae, kandi kiafuma enze?” (Kutio Yesu yaganya mbwe ewiokuria wiona wisugaane wiriiwue.)

20 Yesu yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Ekintu ekifuma mu omwoyo ogwa omuntu nikio ekigera na awa omumwamu. 21 Aeniki ni kuema munsi mu omwoyo ogwa omuntu nimwo amaingirizio amawiiwi, owusondo, owuiwi, owuisi, 22 okugia no omukazi namba omusaaza owa owundi ku iseero, endandiire, enkola embiiwi, owuweeyi, okuinyonkoonia, iyari, okuitoola, okuwoola awantu uwiiwi alala no owumayaanu wiona wiema.* 23 Ewintu wino wiona wifuma munsi mu omwoyo ogwa omuntu, kandi wiagera omuntu yawa omumwamu.”

Okuganya okwa omukazi otari Omuyaudi

(Math 15:21–28)

24 Nikuemao Yesu yafuma ao agia mu ekialo ekia Taaya ni Sidooni. Yaingira mu enyumba indi kandi ngakaagalanga mbwe awantu wamanye mbwe ari omwo. No okuwa kwae omwo ngakukaesanga okuiwisa. 25 Omukazi wundi yawangao owa omwala waae yawanga ne *ewikeeno.

2 Na amiire mukaaga gaamala okuwita, Yesu yatoola Petro, Yakoobo ni Yowaana afuma nawo waniina ku ekigiri ekiliire okuwa aweene. Eyo embonekano eya Yesu yagaluka emberi waawu, 3 kandi enguwo ziae ziawa enzeru zerre ezingʼena-ngʼena ino okukira kiomo omuntu-umuntu akaozia enguwo ku ekialo kuno. 4 Mu enyinga ezio, Muusa ne Eliija waawafumira ao ni wagamba-gamba ni Yesu.

Nsawire awalonzi waao mbwe wakifumie, no okukifumia kuwakirre.”

19 Yesu yawairania otino, “Oo inywe ikula eriwula no okuganya rino! Nyiza okuwa ni inywe ni nsikiizie omwoyo ku amangʼana giinyu kutuuka ri? Mutoole omuzia oyo mumureete ano.”

20 Waatoola omuzia oyo waira ku Yesu. Olwa ekikeeno kiawona Yesu kitino, kiagwisia omuzia oyo ansi. Yagwa ansi atanika okugalangatana ni ifulo rifuma mu omunwa.

21 Yesu yawuuzia swawu omwana oyo otino, “Omwana ono amiire okuwa otino okuemera ri?” Yamuirania mbwe, “Okuemera mu owuana wuto. 22 Kangi kimiire okuwa ni kimugwisia mu omurro ni mu amanzi, mala mbwe kimuite. Ni no oesa okukola ekintu-ukintu, awiifu tuambre amasaasra otutunzie.”

24 Mu enyinga ezio swawu omuzia oyo yamuirania na awoola mbwe, “Ndi no okuganya okutono ku Katonda, ntunzie mbe no okuganya okusugre ku Katonda.”

25 Olwa Yesu yawona awantu awangi ni warumuka ni waaza alala, yasiagizia ekikeeno ekiwiiwi ekio na awoola mbwe, “Iwue ekikeeno ekia owurimba kandi ekia amatwi amaziwu kino, fuma omuemeko kandi otamuiranako kandi!”

29 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ekikeeno ki kino ngakiesa okufumiwua-ufumiwua wusaasa otio, ni mala ku okusawa no *okusiwa okuria.”*

Olwa waamala okuingira mu enyumba, Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Mugalusianenga amangʼana ku engira kuuki?” 34 Wasarigira kiri wareka okumuirania aeniki ni waawanga ku engira, waaikululananga mu amangʼana aweene ni waiwuuzia naanu okawa omunene agati yaawu.*

35 Yesu yaikala ansi aeta awalonzi waae awalaga otino, “Omuntu oagala okuwa omukangasi asugaane aikole omutono otuukre kandi awe *omukurumu owa awantu woona.”*

36 Yesu yaimerezia omwana omuto emberi waawu. Yakunaania omwana oyo mu amakono gaae, nikwo awalaga otino, 37 “Omuntu-umuntu oingiizie omwana omuto ki ono, ku eriina riange, anyingiizie inze. No omuntu onyingiizie, ngʼani inze owa aingiizie engʼene, na aingiizie kugia Katonda owantuma.”*

2 *Awafarisaayo wandi awaaza okumugeezaania waamuwuuzia watino, “Lwona endagirra iifu eganyiire omusaaza okurekana no omukazi waae?”

3 Yesu yawairania na awawuuzia otino, “Endagirra eya Muusa ewoola etie ku ekingʼana ekio?”

4 Waamulaga watino, “Endagirra eya Muusa yaganyira omusaaza okujoja itu eria okurekana ni mukaae, mala yarekana nae.”*

5 Ni Yesu yawairania otino, “Muusa yawajojera endagirra eno aeniki emitwe giinyu giawanga emikalu. 6 No okuemera mu owutanikro owua owulusi, ‘Katonda yawaluka omusaaza no omukazi.’† 7 ‘Kuno kugera omusaaza areka swae ni ngʼina, mala yaizogaana ni mukaae, 8 kandi awantu wawiri awo wawa ekintu ekilala.’† Kutio awantu awo ngawari wawiri yaaya, ni wari ekintu ekilala. 9 Kandi kutio ekia Katonda ateere alala, omuntu ataaza yagawula, yaaya.”

10 Ni waawanga mu enyumba, awalonzi waae waamuwuuzia ekingʼana ekio. 11 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Omuntu-umuntu orekaane ni mukaae kandi akwe omukazi wundi, ari omusoodani kandi aoneere mukaae oyo. 12 Lwona no omukazi arekaane no omusaaza waae kandi akwewue no owundi, akorre owusoodani.”*

Yesu asereeke awaana awato

(Math 19:13–15; Luuk 18:15–17)

13 Awantu waareetanga awaana ku Yesu kugere awateeko okukono awasereke. Na awalonzi waae waasoozia awantu awaawareetanga awo. 14 Olwa Yesu yawona ni wakola watio, ngakaomerrwa nawo kandi yawalaga otino, “Mureke awaana awato wanyizeko, kandi mutawalowera yaaya.

Omuwuuka omunyazi

(Math 19:16–26; Luuk 18:18–27)

17 Ni Yesu yafumanga na agia, omuntu yasomoka amugiako akuba amasigamo ansi emberi waae, amuwuuzia otino, “Omugerezi omulootu, ekia nsugaane nkole niki kugere ntuukre owulamu owutariwua?”

18 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Onyeta mbwe omulootu kolaki? Awulao omuntu omulootu mala Katonda engʼene. 19 Ngomanyire *ensikirra: ‘Otaita, otasooda omukazi owa owundi, otaiwa, otata ku omuntu amangʼana aga owuweeyi, otasemerezia omuntu no ori no okuagala okumutuukrako ekintu kandi tia swao ni ngʼinwao.’?”†

20 Omuntu oyo yamuirania otino, “Omugerezi, ensikirra zino ziona miire okuzirinda okuemera mu owuana wuto wuange.”

21 Yesu yamuwarra mu amiiso aomererwa nae, kandi yamulaga otino, “Kirio ekintu ekilala ekia okiakeeyire: Gia oguzie ewintu ewia ori nawio wiona nikuemao otoole amasendi aga onatuukramo o-ee awataka, nikwo ooza okuwa no owuwiiko ku igulu.

28 Petro yamulaga otino, “Omwami, ifwe tureekere ewintu wiona tukulonda!”

29 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe awulao omuntu orekere amayumba, nakuwa wamwawu awekizia nakuwa awekiala, nakuwa swae, nakuwa ngʼinwae, nakuwa awaana, nakuwa emisiri, ku amangʼana gange no okulanzia amangʼana aga Katonda,* 30 otaaza okutuukra, mu amiire aga owulamu wuno, awaana, waangʼinwae, waaswae, waamwawu, amayumba, ne emisiri entunda mia ekilala kangi okukira, alala no okunyasiwua.

Nikuemao yatoola omusiri ogwo agu-aa awarimi wandi wagukodeesa nikwo afuma agia olugendo mu ekialo kindi.* 2 Olwa enyinga ezia igesa ziatuuka, omuntu oyo yatuma owemirimo waae ku awarimi awo kugere wamu-ee ensaafu zindi ezia ku omusiri ogwa *omuzabiibu ogwo. 3 Na awarimi awo wa-amba owemirimo oyo, wamukuba kandi wamurumusia airana amakono masa. 4 Omwene omusiri yatuma kandi owemirimo wundi ku iwo.

Muuze tumuite, kugere omusiri guno gutusigarre.’ 8 Kutio waamuamba kandi wamuita, nikwo wamurigiza enze eya omusiri ogwo.”

9 Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Katio niki ekia omwene omusiri ogwo aaza okukorra awarimi awo? Aaza okuita awarimi awo, nikuema atoole omusiri ate mu amakono aga awandi. 10 Inywe kane mukiari okusoma mu *endagano mbwe:

Okuemera ao, awulao omuntu owaigema okumuwuuzia embuuzia indi kandi.*

Yesu afukirweko amavuta aga iguzi eria kungulu

(Math 26:6–13)

3 Ni Yesu yawanga ku omugizi ogwa Bethania, ni yarianga ku emeesa mu enyumba eya Simioni owawanga no owugenge kale, omukazi wundi yaaza na agingre amavuta aga naadi agawunya esaami kandi aga iguzi eria kungulu ino mu ichupa eria alabasta.

10 Nikuemao, Yudaasi Iskarioti, owawanga omulala ku awalonzi awa Yesu ikumi ni wawiri, yagia ku awakangasi awa awoozia kugere ate Yesu mu amakono gaawu.* 11 Olwa waawurra ekingʼana ekio waasangaala ino, kandi waamwifuuwira mbwe waaza okumu-aa amasendi. Yudaasi yatanika okuagala iwaga ilungi eria okumuta mu amakono gaawu.

Okuikagra omugomo ogwa Pasaaka

(Math 26:17–19; Luuk 22:7–13)

12 Owuire owusookere mu *omugomo ogwa Omukaati ogutazogrwe na amamera, olwa waakolanga omusango ogwa ekimaatwa ekia Pasaaka, awalonzi awa Yesu waamuwuuzia watino, “Omwami, na ai aa wagala mbwe tukuikazizie Pasaaka orie?”*

13 Okwo kwagera atuma awalonzi waae wawiri na awalaga otino, “Mugie ku omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu, ni munaagana omuntu ogingre entamu eya amanzi, mumulonde. 14 Ni mu enyumba eya anaingira, mulage omwene enyumba eyo mutino, ‘Omugerezi atutumre tuuze tukuwuuzie mbwe enyumba yaae eya awageni eya akariiramo omugomo ogwa Pasaaka na awalonzi waae eriai?’ 15 Omuntu oyo aaza okuwalaga enyumba enkaate eri kungulu ku egoroofa erimo ewintu wiona ewiagalana kandi eya awantu waesa okuikalamo.

16 Awalonzi awo waafuma wagia ku omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu wagia watuukra ewintu mala kiomo Yesu yawanga na awalagre. Kutio waafumba okuria okwa Pasaaka wakuikazia omwo.

Yesu awoorre ooza okumuguzia

(Math 26:20–25; Luuk 22:21–23; Yowa 13:21–25)

17 Olwa kwatuuka igulo, Yesu yaaza na awalonzi waae ikumi ni wawiri. 18 Ni waawanga ku emeesa ni waria, Yesu yawalaga otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe omulala ku inywe aaza okunguzia. Ee omuntu oyo aria ni inze.”*

19 Woona waawurra uwiiwi ino kandi watanika okumulaga mulala ki omulala watino, “Kuwuene oyo ngʼani inze yaaya Omwami?”

20 Yesu yawalaga otino, “No omulala ku inywe *awatumwa ikumi ni wawiri, oiniizie omukaate ni inze mu oludaawo. 21 No *Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okufwa aemeo mala kiomo kwajojwa ku iye. Ni kuriweera omuntu omuguziizie wululu ino! Kukaweere geeza ku iye, ni yareka okuiwulwa.”*

Amasaai aga endagano empia

(Math 26:26–29; Luuk 22:19–20; 1Kori 11:23–25)

22 Ni waawanga ni waria, Yesu yatoola omukaate, aikazia Katonda nikwo agugenyula aa awalonzi waae na awalaga otino, “Mutoole murie. Guno no omuwiri gwange.”

23 Nikuemao yatoola ekikombe, aikazia Katonda nikwo aki-aa awalonzi waae, kandi woona waakinyweramo.

24 Nikuemao yawalaga otino, “Gano na amasaai gange aga *endagano, agafukirwa awantu awangi.** 25 Mbalaga mbwe ngʼanyiza okunywa edivaai eema ku ensaafu eya *omuzabiibu kandi, nawuno kutuuke olwa ndirinywa edivaai empia mu *Owuami owua Katonda.”

Yesu awoorre mbwe awalonzi waae waaza okumurumuka

(Math 26:30–35; Luuk 22:31–34; Yowa 13:36–38)

26 Olwa waamala okuemba olwembo otino, waafuma ni wawariire ekigiri ekia *Zaituuni.*

27 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Inywe mwona muuza okundumuka, aeniki kwajojwa mbwe,

“ ‘Nyiza okuita omwayi,

28 Ni, ni Katonda amiire okunziusia, nyiza okukangata emberi iinyu, ngie Galiili.”*

29 Petro yamuirania otino, “Omwami, namba na awandi woona wakurumuuke, inze ngʼandirikureka.”

30 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Nkulaga kuwuene mbwe owuire owua turiko wuno, ooza okulowa kasatu mbwe ngomanyire, engoko ni zikiari okulagula kawiri.”

31 Ni Petro yalowa wukalu na awoola otino, “Namba ni kuri okufwa ni iwue, nanyiza okukulowa, yaaya.” Awalonzi wandi woona waawoola watio.*

Yesu asawa Gethsemaani ku ekigiri ekia Zaituuni

(Math 26:36–46; Luuk 22:39–46)

32 Nikuemao Yesu na awalonzi waae waagia watuuka asi aetwa mbwe Gethsemaani. Yesu yawalaga otino, “Muikale ano, inze ngie nsawe.” 33 Yatoola Petro, Yakoobo ni Yowaana agia nawo antulo, kandi atanika okuwurra owululu mu omwoyo gwae kandi amasaai gaatanika okumuluma ino. 34 Nikuemao yawalaga mbwe, “Mpurra owululu mu omwoyo gwange ino, aa wuagala okunzita. Muweere ano kandi muwe amiiso.”

35 Yesu yagia emberi wutono, nikwo agwa ansi atanika okusawa Katonda wululu na awoola mbwe ni kuesekana aganye amutoorreo ekikombe ekia emidambo ekio atakinyweramo. Yagia emberi na awoola otino,* 36 “Soifu! Manyire mbwe ewintu wiona wiesekana ku iwue, ntoorreo ekikombe kino. Ni kutaaza kwawa ku okuagala kwange, ni kuwe mala kiomo iwue oagala.”*

37 Yairana ku awalonzi waae atuukra ni wagona. Kutio yawuuzia Petro otino, “Simioni, owuo ogona? Ngoesa okuwarra namba ku enyinga endala? 38 Muwe amiiso kandi musawe kugere mutagwa ni mugeezaniwua. Omwoyo guagala, no omuwiri mudewenyu.”*

39 Yawareka kandi olwa okuwiri agia asawa, na awoola mala amangʼana aga yawoola kuluweri. 40 Olwa yawairanako kandi, yawatuukra ni wagona, aeniki amiiso gaawu gaawanga amazito. Waagingirizia amiiso ni waawula ne ekia wakamulaga.

41 Yairana kandi olwa okusatu, awawuuzia otino, “Owuo mukiagona, kandi muigoloole muwuluuka? Endoolo zisugre katio. Enyinga zimiire okutuuka ezia Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okuguziwua ateewue mu amakono aga awooni. 42 Mulamuke tugie! Omuguzi wange nguno aaza!”*

Yesu aguziiwue kandi a-ambrwe

(Math 26:47–56; Luuk 22:47–53; Yowa 18:1–11)

43 Ni Yesu yawanga na akiagamba-gamba, Yudaasi, owawanga omulala ku awalonzi ikumi ni wawiri, yawatuukako na ari no omurima ogwa awantu awagingre emiambe egia olugangala ne ewirungu, awaatumwa na awakangasi awa awoozia, awagerezi awa endagirra na *awagaaka awa *Awayaudi okuuza okuamba Yesu.

44 Kuno kwatuukra no omuguzi yawanga na amiire okuwurzania nawo mbwe, “Omuntu owa munawona ni nuunre, niye. Mumuambe, mugie nae no owurinzi owukalu.” 45 Olwa Yudaasi yatuuka otino, yagia ku Yesu owuigoloole amulaga otino, “Geeza Omugerezi?” Nikuemao amunuuna. 46 Nikuemao awantu awo waa-amba Yesu. 47 No omulala ku awalonzi awaawanga ni waimeriire nae ao yazomola omwambe gwae ogwa olugangala, aguta ku owemirimo owa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia, amukewa okutwi kuwuera ansi chee. 48 Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Munyiziire ne emiambe egia olugangala ne ewirungu ki awagia okuamba omukangasi olwania esirikaali otino kolaki? 49 Nyamiire okuwa ni nyikala ni inywe mu olwanyi olwa *ekaalu ni ngerera owuire ki owuire, mutampamba? Ni mureke amangʼana aga Katonda gatuuke kiomo gaajojwa.”*

50 Nikuemao, awalonzi woona waarumuka wamureka.*

51 Ario omuzia wundi owalondanga Yesu na aingiizie enguwo empuuwu. Olwa awantu wano waagia okumuamba otino, 52 yasomoka areka enguwo yaae, agia ekikuna.

Yesu airrwe ku oluwuga olwa awagaaka

(Math 26:57–68; Luuk 22:54, 55, 63–71; Yowa 18:12–14, 19–24)

53 Awantu awo waira Yesu aa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia. Awakangasi awa awoozia, na awagerezi awa endagirra na awagaaka awa Awayaudi woona waawanga ni wiikumizie alala ao. 54 Petro yamulondanga enyima ale wutono nawuno watuuka waingira mu olwanyi oluri agati eya amayumba aga Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia. Munsi omwo Petro yaikala na awarinzi na aota omurro.

55 Awakangasi awa awoozia no *oluwuga olwa awagaaka awa Awayaudi woona waagarizia okawoola ekintu ekiwiiwi ku Yesu, ekikagera akengerwe ekiina ekia olumbe, ni ngawakatuukra. 56 Aeniki awantu awangi waamuwoolako amangʼana amangi aga owuweeyi, na amangʼana gaawu ago gaagawukana.*

57 Awandi ku awantu awo waaza waimerra nae kandi wamuwoolako owuweeyi watino, 58 “Twamiire okumuwurra na awoola mbwe, ‘Nyiza okuona ekaalu eyaombokwa na awantu eno, kandi ku amiire asatu nyiza okuomboka eindi, etaombookwe na awantu.’ ”* 59 Namba awantu wano, woona amangʼana gaawu gaagawukana.

60 Nikuemao Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia yaimerra agati yaawu awuuzia Yesu otino, “Ngoirania ingʼana ku ewintu ewia wakuwoolako wino, kolaki?” 61 Ni Yesu yasarigira kiri kandi ngakairania. Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia oyo yamuwuuzia kandi otino, “Iwue ni iwue *Meesia, omuzia owa *Omwami Katonda?”* 62 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Ni inze, kandi muuza okuwona Omuzia owa Omuntu na aikaale nyakukono okusaaza okwa Katonda aa amaani gari, kandi na aaza mu amare aga ku igulu.”*

63 Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia yatandula enguwo yaae na awoola otino, “Tuagarraki omuwoni wundi kandi? 64 Ee, aweene muema okumuwurra na aifwanania ni Katonda. Inywe muingirizia mutie ku amangʼana gano?” Woona waamulowa ni wawoola mbwe asugaane aitwe.* 65 Awandi waatanika okumufuuzako amate ni wamusiwre amiiso ne ekitambaaya kandi wamukuba ewifunzi. Waamuwuuzia watino, “Tulageeko amangʼana aga owugambi.” Nikuemao awarinzi waamutoola watanika okumukuba ewifunzi.*

Petro alowa mbwe ngamanyire Yesu

(Math 26:69–75; Luuk 22:54–65; Yowa 18:25–27)

66 Ni Petro yawanga na ari ansi mu olwanyi, omulala ku owemirimo awekiala awa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia yamugiako. 67 Yatuukra Petro na aota omurro, amuwarra nikwo amulaga otino, “Iwue oona owanga ni Yesu Omunazareeti ono.”

68 Ni Petro yalowa asiiriisia na awoola otino, “Inze ngʼamanyire lwona ngʼampurra ekia owoola ekio.” Yaema ao agia enze ku ekikulo. Mu enyinga ezio engoko yalagula.*

69 Owemirimo owekiala oyo yamuwona kandi yalaga awaawanga ni waimeriire ao otino, “Omuntu ono ari omulala ku iwo!” 70 Ni Petro kandi yalowa amangʼana ago otino, “Inze ngʼandi omulala ku iwo.”

Lunyima wutono, awaawanga ni waimeriire ao waamulaga watino, “Kuwuene ori omulala ku iwo, aeniki ori Omugaliili.”

71 Ni Petro yatanika okuifuuwa omwene na aria endagano na awalaga otino, “Awiifu, inze namanyire omuntu owa mugamba-gambako ono.”

72 Ao-ao, engoko yalagula olwa okuwiri. Nikuemao Petro yaingirizia kiomo Yesu yamulaga mbwe, “Engoko ne ekiari okulagula kawiri, ooza okulowa kasatu mbwe ngomanyire.” Kutio yatuluka na amaziga kandi yarra wululu.*

Awayaudi wairre Yesu ku Pilaato

(Math 27:1–2, 11–26; Luuk 23:1–5, 13–25; Yowa 18:28—19:16)

1 Kunkio no owuire wukia wutino, Omukangasi omunene owa *awoozia, yaikala na *awagerezi awa endagirra, awakangasi awa awoozia, alala na *awagaaka awa Awayaudi, woona okuwurzania ku ekiina ekia Yesu. Nikuemao waamusiwa wagia wamuta mu amakono aga Pilaato omukangasi owa Awaruumi.

2 Omwami Pilaato yamuwuuzia otino, “Mbwe iwue ni iwue omwami owa *Awayaudi?” Yesu yamuirania otino, “Omwene ni iwue owoorre otio.”

3 Kandi awakangasi awa awoozia waamuingirra ni wamuwoolako amangʼana amangi. 4 Okusarigira okwa Yesu kwagera Pilaato amuwuuzia kandi otino, “Owula ne ekia okairania? Mberi owurra amangʼana amangi aga wakuwoolako gano?”

5 Ni Yesu yasarigira kiri, kandi ekio kiagera Pilaato aluguula ino.*

6 Mu omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka, kwawanga enkola eya omukangasi waawu okuwasiwurra omusiwe omulala owa awantu wamusawire mbwe afumie mu owusiwe. 7 Yawangao omusiwe omuwiiwi owaetwanga Barabaasi, owawanga munsi ku okuita omuntu ne erioga riafuma agati eya Awayaudi na awakangasi awa esirikaali eya Awaruumi. 8 Awantu awangi waagia ku Pilaato wamusawa mbwe awasiwurre omuntu omulala kiomo kwawanga enkola yaawu mu omugomo ogwa Pasaaka.

9 Pilaato yawawuuzia mbwe, “Muagala mbasiwurre omuntu oieta mbwe Omwami owa Awayaudi ono?” 10 Yawawuuzia otio aeniki yamanya geeza mbwe iyari nirio eriagera awakangasi awa awoozia ni wamuira emberi waae.

11 Na awakangasi awa awoozia waalaga awantu mbwe walage Pilaato awasiwurre Barabaasi aa okusiwula Yesu.

12 Pilaato kandi yawawuuzia otino, “Katio nkole entie no omuntu owa mueta mbwe omwami owa Awayaudi ono?”

13 Waamuirania no omwoyo ogwa kungulu watino, “*Muwambe ku omusalaaba!”

Pilaato yawawuuzia mbwe, “Kolaki? Niki ekia akorre ekisugre no olumbe?” Ni iwo waaogerera wukalu okukira ni wawoola mbwe, “Muwambe ku *omusalaaba!”

14 Pilaato yawawuuzia otino, “Kolaki awiifu, ekiwi ekia akorre niki?” Ni iwo waagia emberi ni waogerera wukaalu okukira watino, “Muwambe ku omusalaaba!”

15 Kutio Pilaato yawasiwurra Barabaasi, na ari no okuagala mbwe aomerezie omurima ogwa awantu awo. Yasikirra mbwe Yesu akubwe enkowa, nikuemao amuta mu amakono gaawu okugia okuwambwa ku omusalaaba.

Awa-iiye wasuusia Yesu

(Mari 15:16–20; Yowa 19:2–3)

16 Awa-iiye awo waatoola Yesu waira mu ekambi yaawu kandi wakumia awa-iiye awangi waaza omwo. 17 Waavuula Yesu enguwo ziae wamuingizizia enguwo endiire enzakanyu, nikwo waazinga engata eya amawua wamuteera ku omutwe ki ekigudu ekia owuyaayi.* 18 Waatanika okumusekera ni wamusuusia ni wamulaga watino, “Oikaziwue, omwami owa Awayaudi?” 19 Waamukuba omutwe ne ekiti ekia ekituutu kangi ni wamufuuzako amate ku owueni. Awandi waamukubra amasigamo ansi ni wamu-aa owuti ki omwami.* 20 Olwa waamala okumusuusia otio, waamuvuulako enguwo endiire eyo, wamuingizizia enguwo ziae ezia eyawanga nazio. Nikuemao waafuma nae okugia okumuwamba ku omusalaaba.

Okuwambwa okwa Yesu ku omusalaaba

(Math 27:32–44; Luuk 23:26–43; Yowa 19:17–27)

21 Ni waafumanga ni wagia, waagaana omuntu wundi, oetwa Simioni owa Kureene, owawanga swawu Aleksanda ni Ruufo, na aema olugendo enze na aingira ku omugizi ogwo. Waamunigirizia okuginga omusalaaba ogwa Yesu.* 22 Waaira Yesu asi aa-etwa mbwe Goligootha, (erilagana mbwe asi aa Ekiyanga ekia omutwe). 23 Waatoola edivaai ezoganiiwue no omuti omululu wa-aa Yesu, ni yalowa okuginywa. 24 Olwa waamala okumuwamba ku omusalaaba, waagawana enguwo ziae ni wakuba ensiiti, okumanya ekia omuntu ki omuntu asugaane atoole.*

25 Waamuwamba ku omusalaaba enyinga isatu ezia kunkio. 26 Ibaawu riateewua ku omusalaaba kungulu erijojerweko amangʼana aga yaingirrwa nago agaawoolanga mbwe: omwami owa awayaudi.* 27 Waamuwamba na awasakuzi wawiri, omulala nyakukono kwae okusaaza, no owundi nyakukono okumosi.* 28 Kutio amangʼana aga Katonda gaatuuka kuwuene.*

29 Awawitangira waamurigizra amanyego, eno ni watenzia emitwe giawu ni wamulaga watino, “Iwue owazanga okuona *ekaalu kandi ogiomboke ku amiire asatu,* 30 nyingeeno inunulako omwene kato! Ika ansi oeme ku omusalaaba!”

31 Nintio lwona awagerezi awa endagirra alala na awakangasi awa awoozia woona waamurigizra amangʼana ni wawoola watino, “Mbwe yanunula awandi, ni omwene ngaesa okuinunula. 32 Katio *Kristo, Omwami owa Awayaudi, aikeko ansi aeme ku omusalaaba, kugere tuwone kandi tuganye nae.”

Awantu awaawambwa nae woona waamurigizra amanyego.*

Okufwa okwa Yesu ku omusalaaba

(Math 27:45–56; Luuk 23:44–49; Yowa 19:28–37)

33 Olwa kwatuuka enyinga ezia mukaaga, ekierema kia-amba ekialo kiona nawuno kutuuka enyinga ezia kienda.* 34 Ni ziawanga ampi okutuuka enyinga kienda, Yesu yarra no omwoyo ogwa kungulu na awoola otino, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakithaani?” erilagana mbwe, “Katonda wange, Katonda wange, ondekere kolaki?”†

35 Olwa awandi ku awantu awaawanga ni waimeriire ao waawurra otio, waawoola mbwe, “Owuo mpao aeta Eliija.”

36 Omuntu omulala yasomoka agia atoola amalwa amalulu pe aingiziamo esiponji kandi agifumuta ku ekiti, agiira ku omunwa ogwa Yesu mbwe aganywe. Yalaga awiina waae otino, “Mureke tuwoneko ne Eliija aaza okuuza amutoole ku omusalaaba okwo, amuisie ansi.”*

37 Yesu yarra no omwoyo oguri kungulu, nikwo yakewa enkolo.

38 Ao-ao, epasia eya ekaalu yatanduka aa kawiri, okuemera kungulu paka ansi.*

39 Olwa omukangasi owa awa-iiye, owawanga na aimeriire emberi na awarra Yesu, yawona ewiaikola ni Yesu akeweka enkolo, yawoola otino, “Kuwuene omuntu ono kane yawanga Omuzia owa Katonda!”*

40 Awakazi woona waawanga ao ni wawona ewiaikolanga, ni waimeriire ale. Ku awakazi awo waawangao Saloome, Maaria omwala owa Eumagidaala, ni Maaria ngʼinwawu Yakoobo, wamwawu Yoose omutono. 41 Ni waawanga mu ekialo ekia Galiili, awakazi wasatu wano waaweeranga nae kandi waamukorranga emirimo. Awakazi wandi awangi awaaza nae ni waema Yerusaleemu woona waawanga ao.*

Owuawizi owua Yesu mu iwuuta

42 Olwa kwatuuka igulo, olwa Emirimo Itaanu,† 43 omuntu wundi oetwa Yoseefu owaemanga ku omugizi ogwa Arimathea, kandi owawanga omulala ku awagaaka awa oluwuga otiirwe ino, yakola owusiani agia ku Pilaato amusawa omuwiri ogwa Yesu agie aawre. Omuntu ono oona yawanga na arindirra okuuza okwa *Owuami owua Katonda. 44 Pilaato yaluguula ino olwa yawurra mbwe Yesu amiire okufwa, kutio yaeta omukangasi owa awa-iiye okumuwuuzia ni Yesu yafwa kale. 45 Olwa Omukangasi owa-iiye yamulaga mbwe amiire okufwa, Pilaato yaganya mbwe Yoseefu atoole omuwiri ogwa Yesu.

(Math 28:1–10; Luuk 24:1–12; Yowa 20:1–10)

1 No owuire owua *Sabato wuamala okuwita, Maaria omwala owa Eumagidaala, Saloome ni Maaria ngʼinwawu Yakoobo waagula amavuta agawunya esaami kugere wagie wawake nago omuwiri ogwa Yesu. 2 Kunkio nyanga olwa omudiira ogwa okuwiri, ne enyanga efuma, awakazi wano waafuma wagia ku ekiwaga ekia Yesu. 3 Waaiwuuzia aweene ku engira ni wagia watino, “Naanu katio ogia okutugalangasizia oguwaale guria gueme ku omunwa ogwa ekiwaga?”

4 Olwa waatuuka ao wawarra, waawona oguwaale ogwo ni gwawanga ni gumiire okugalangasiwua guema ku iwuuta. Ni gwawanga oguwaale omusumba. 5 Olwa waaingira mu owuina, waawona omuntu oiwooye enguwo enzeru zere na aikaale nyakukono okusaaza. Okwo kwagera owuti wuawa-amba ino. 6 Omuntu oyo yawalaga otino, “Mutatia. Manyire mbwe muagala Yesu Omunazareeti *owawambwa ku omusalaaba oria. Amiire okuziuka, awula ano. Muwone asi aa waawanga ni wamuteere.* 7 Ni mugie, mulage Petro na awalonzi waae wandi mbwe amiire okukangata agiire Galiili, kandi mugia okumutuukra eyo kiomo yawalaga.”*

8 Awakazi awo waafuma enze warumuka ni waema ku ekiwaga ao. Owuti wuawa-amba aa awulao owa waagamba-gamba nae ku engira ni wagia.

Yesu afumiire Maaria omwala owa Ewumagidaala

(Yowa 20:11–18)

9 Olwa Yesu yamala okuziuka, kunkio nyanga olwa omudiira ogwa okuwiri, yafumira Maaria omwala owa Eumagidaala, owa yawanga na afumiizieko *ewikeeno musamvu. 10 Yagia alaga awantu awa Yesu yawanga nawo, awaawanga ni wamurra ni wari no owululu owungi.* 11 No olwa waawurra omukazi oyo na awoola mbwe Yesu ari omulamu kandi mbwe amuwuine na amiiso, waalowa amangʼna ago wasiriisia mbwe no owuweeyi.*

Yesu afumiire awalonzi wawiri

(Luuk 24:13–35)

12 Lunyima Yesu kandi yafumira awalonzi waae wawiri ku engira, mu engira egawuuke ni wagia ku omugizi gundi. 13 Awalonzi waae wawiri wano waairana wuangu-wuangu walaga awiina waawu ekingʼana kino. Ni woona waalowa amangʼana ago.*

Yesu afumiire awalonzi ikumi ni mulala

(Luuk 24:36–46; Yowa 20:24–30)

14 Owutuukre, yafumira awalonzi waae ikumi ni mulala woona ni waikaale ni waria ku emeesa. Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ne ekintu ekiwiiwi ino mbwe mukiawula no okuganya, kandi mwalowere okuwa no okuganya ku amangʼana aga mumiire okulagwa na awamiire okumbona ni miire okuziuka.”

Owutumwa owunene

(Math 28:15–18)

15 Owuire wundi Yesu yawalaga otino, “Mugie mu ekialo kiona mugie mulanzizie awantu woona amangʼana amalootu. 16 Oweere na okuganya kandi yabatiiswa, arituukra owulamu owutariwua. No olowere okuwa no okuganya ku amangʼana ago, ekiina kirimukira.*** 17 Wino niwio ewiriwa ewilagano ku awantu awariwa no okuganya ku inze; warifumia ewikeeno ne eriina riange, wariwoola eminwa egigawuke-gawuuke egia watamanyire,* 18 wariamba enzoka ni ngaziriwaluma, lwona ni wanywere owutwa owuita awantu, ngawuriwaita kandi warita amakono gaawu ku awalwire, na awalwire warilama.”*

Yesu aguluuke agiire ku igulu

(Luuk 24:50–53; Awat 1:9–11)

19 Olwa Yesu yamala okugamba-gamba nawo otio, yatoolwa aniiniwua ku igulu, aa yagia aikaale nyakukono okusaaza okwa *Omwami Katonda.*

Awalonzi watanika okulanzia injiili

20 Awalonzi waae waagia walanzia amangʼana aga Katonda mu ekialo kiona kandi Yesu yawa-aa amaani mu emirimo giawu giona. Amankono aga Katonda yakola nawo, gaawa ekilago ku awantu ku amangʼana amalootu aga waalanzia.*

8 Owuire wulala ni Zakaria yawanga na akola emirimo egia owuozia emberi wa Katonda mu owuasio owua owulala wuawu,* 9 yalowolwa ne ensiiti na awoozia awiina waae, nikulondokana ne enkola ezia emirimo egia owuozia, okuingira mu ekaalu eya Omwami okusamba *owubaani.* 10 Ne enyinga ezia okusamba owubaani wuatuuka, awantu woona awaaikumia okusawa, waasawiranga enze. 11 *Enyankoi owa Katonda yafumira Zakaria aimerra nyakukono okusaaza okwa emeesa eya okusamba owubaani. 12 Olwa Zakaria yamuwona, yazinduka amasaai kandi owuti wuamuamba.* 13 Ne enyankoi yamulaga otino, “Zakaria, otatia. Katonda amiire okuwurra okusawa kwao, kandi mukaao Elizabeethi aaza okuiwula omwana owekizia, omuluke eriina Yowaana.*

14 “Aaza okugera owone geeza kandi owe omusangaavu,

kandi awantu awangi wariwa ne ekisangaalo ku okuiwulwa kwae,

15 aeniki ariwa omuntu omukaate emberi wa Katonda.

Na ataaza yanywa amalwa nakuwa ewintu ewilulu ewitowookwe;

kandi aaza okuizuziwua no *Omwoyo Omweru,

namba na akiari mu enda eya ngʼinwae.*

16 “Arigera Awaisraeli awangi wairane ku *Omwami Katonda waawu. 17 Arikangata emberi wa Omwami na ari na amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru kiomo Eliija. Arigalusia emioyo egia waaswawu awaana okugonzia awaana waawu; kandi origera awa emitwe emikalu okuwurra amangʼana aga owuganga aga awalongoole, kugere waikagre okuingizia Omwami.”**

18 Ni Zakaria yawuuzia enyankoi otino, “Ekiesa okundaga mbwe ewintu wino wiriikola niki? Aeniki inze ndi omuntu mukulu, kandi mukange oona ari ne emiaka emiera.”*

19 Nikuemao, enyankoi yamuirania otino, “Inze ni *Gabrieli, *omutumwa okola emberi owa Katonda; kandi ntumrwe okugamba-gamba ni iwue ni nkureetra amangʼana amageni amalootu gano.* 20 Kutio, manya mbwe ooza okuwa omurimba otagamba-gamba nawuno kutuuke owuire owua ewintu wino wiiza okuikola, aeniki ngokaganya na amangʼana gange gano agaaza okuikola owuire wuago.”

21 Ku enyinga ezio, awantu awaasawanga enze awo waarindanga Zakaria ni waaluguula ekiagera na akinda ino mu ekaalu munsi otio. 22 Olwa Zakaria yafuma enze, ngakaesanga okugamba-gamba. Kuno kwagera wamanya mbwe awuine owusasuko mu ekaalu; aeniki yawalagirizianga ewintu mala na amakono ni ngakanawula ekingʼana.

23 Ne enyinga ezia owuasio owua okukola mu ekaalu ziawua, Zakaria yairana engo waae. 24 Lunyima, mukaae Elizabeethi ya-amba isaai kandi yaiwisa mu enyumba ku emienzi itaanu na atafuma enze. Yawoola otino,* 25 “Katonda nio onkoriire geeza otino. Mwakuuno ambariire no owusiza wuae kandi antoorreko ensuuko ezia owugumba emberi wa awantu.”*

Okulanzia okuiwulwa okwa Yesu

26 Ne Elizabeethi yawanga ni isaai eria emienzi mukaaga, Katonda yatuma enyankoi Gabrieli ku omugizi ogwa Nazareeti, mu ekitemo ekia Galiili.* 27 Yagia ku omwala omugima oetwa Maaria, owawanga no owuiko owua okukwezana ni Yoseefu, owaemanga mu ekiriango ekia Omwami Daudi.* 28 Enyankoi oyo yamugiako amulaga otino, “Oikaziwue, iwue omwala omusereke. Omwami ari ni iwue kandi aomereerwe ni iwue!”* 29 Maaria yainyaasia mu omwoyo gwae ino ku amangʼana ago kandi yaiwuuzia mu amaingirizio gaae ekia amakeezio ago gaalagananga. 30 Enyankoi oyo yamulaga otino, “Maaria, otatia, aeniki Katonda ari omusiza ni iwue.* 31 Kutio, wona! Ooza okuamba isaai kandi oiwule omwana owekizia kandi orimuluka mbwe Yesu.* 32 Ariwa omuntu omukaate, kandi arietwa mbwe Omuzia owa Katonda omunene; kandi Omwami Katonda arimuta ku entewe eya owuami owua guukwa waae Daudi.* 33 Ariwa omwami owa awiizukulu awa Yakoobo ku emiigo emiera egiiza kandi owuami wuae ngawuriwua yawa!”*

34 Maaria yawuuzia enyankoi otino, “Kino kiesa okuikola kitie, ni inze nkiari omwala omugima okiari okuwa alala no omusaaza?”* 35 Enyankoi yamuirania otino, “Omwoyo Omweru aaza okukuuzako kandi amaani aga Katonda ori kungulu okukira gaaza okukusanikira. Kutio omwana owa ooza okuiwulwa oyo arietwa mbwe Omweru, Omuzia owa Katonda.* 36 Namba Elizabeethi, omuganda waao, oona aaza okuwa no omwana kukawa mbwe ari omukiire. Kandi iye owaetwanga omugumba nyingeeno ari ne enda eya emienzi mukaaga. 37 Aeniki kiwulao ekiesa okukira Katonda okukola.”*

38 Maaria yairania otino, “Inze ndi *omukurumu owa Omwami Katonda, kandi nganyire ekintu-ukintu ekia aagala mbwe kinyiikoleko.” Nikuemao enyankoi yagia amureka.

Maaria agiire okuwona Elizabeethi

39 Nikuemao, Maaria yasiwa emisigo wuangu afuma okugia ku omugizi oguri mu ekialo ekia ewigiri ewia Yudeea, 40 aingira ku omugizi ogwa Zakaria agia akeezia Elizabeethi. 41 Olwa Elizabeethi yawurra amakeezio aga Maaria otino, omwana yawaaya mu enda yaae kandi Elizabeethi yaizuziwua no Omwoyo Omweru. 42 Yagamba-gamba no omwoyo ogwa kungulu na awoola otino, “Iwue osereekwe agati eya awakazi wandi, kandi omwana owa ooza okuiwula oona asereekwe! 43 Ni inze nsereekwe aeniki ngʼinwawu Omwami wange aazre okumbona. 44 Aeniki olwa mpuriire-uwurra amakeezio gaao otino, omwana ori munda yange aduma-duumre ne ekisangaalo. 45 Osereekwe iwue ku okuganya mbwe ewintu ewia Katonda akulagre wiiza okuikola!”*

Olwembo olwa Maaria

46 Nikuemao Maaria yawoola otino,

“Omwoyo gwange gutondowola Omwami Katonda.

47 Mu owulamu wuange ndi ne ekisangaalo ku Katonda omununuzi wange,*

48 aeniki amiire okunyingirizia inze omukurumu waae ori ansi!

Okutanikra reero, amakula goona gaaza okunyeta omusereke,

49 aeniki Katonda owa amaani goona amiire okunkorra ewintu ewikaate. Eriina riaae rieru!

50 Alagana owusiza ku awantu awamuere owuti, okuemera ku ikula rino okugia ku ikula rindi.*

51 Amiire okukola ewinene na agoloole okukono kwae okwa amaani na ataanyia awaitumbula mu amaingirizio gaawu.*

52 Yategula awaami awa amambala nawuno awatoola ku entewe ziawu, na aginga kungulu awantu awaiisiizie ansi.*

53 Yaigusia awari ne enzala ne ewintu ewilootu, na awanyazi arumusia wagia amakono masa.*

54 Amiire okutunzia omukurumu waae Israeli, na alonda owusiza wuae,

55 kiomo yawoorra waaguukwa wiifu, Abraamu alala na awiizukulu waae, mbwe arikola amiire goona.”**

56 Kutio, Maaria yamenya ne Elizabeethi ku emienzi egikaera isatu nikwo airana owaawu.

Okuiwulwa okwa Yowaana Omubatiisi

57 Olwa enyinga ezia Elizabeethi ezia okuigawula ziatuuka, yaiwula omwana owekizia. 58 Awamenyere nae ampi na awaganda waae waawurra kiomo Omwami amiire okumukorra owusiza owukaate, kandi woona waasangaala nae alala. 59 Olwa owuire owua munaane wuatuuka waaza okuira omwana *enyangu, kandi waagalanga mbwe wamuluke swae Zakaria.* 60 Ni ngʼinwae yawairania otino, “Yaaya! Asugaane aetwe Yowaana!”

61 Ni iwo waamuirania watino, “Awulao omuntu mu oluganda lwinyu ori ne endukwa eyo.”

62 Nikuemao waawuuzia swae na amakono ni wamuagalako eriina eria akaagala omwana oyo alukwe. 63 Yawasawa iwaale eria akujojako, kandi yajoja mbwe “Eriina riae ni Yowaana.” Kandi okwo kwagera awantu waluguula ino.* 64 Ao-ao, omunwa gwae gwaiguka kandi olurimi lwae lusiwuka, nawuno atanika okugamba-gamba na atondowola Katonda.* 65 Kandi, owuti wua-amba awantu woona awaawanga ni wamenyere nawo ampi. Awantu woona awa ekialo kiona ekia ewigiri ewia Yudeea waagamba-gambanga ku amangʼana gano. 66 Omuntu-umuntu owawurra amangʼana gano yagaluguula na aiwuuzia otino, “Omwana ono aaza okuwa omuntu ofwana otie?” Aeniki, kuri kuwuene mbwe amaani aga Omwami Katonda gari nae.

Olwembo olwa Zakaria

67 Swae Zakaria, na aizuziwua no Omwoyo Omweru, yawoola amangʼana agaamuemera ku Katonda otino:

68 “Atondowolwe Omwami, Katonda owa Awaisraeli,

aeniki amiire okuuza okutoola awantu waae mu amakono aga omuzigu.*

69 Amiire okutureetra omununuzi ori na amaani

70 Kiomo yawoola okuwitra ku *awagambi waae aweeru okuemera kale mbwe:*

71 Aritununula okuema ku awazigu wiifu

72 Arilagana owusiza ku waaguukwa wiifu

kandi ari-ingirizia *endagano yaae enzeru eya yakola nawo.*

73 Aaza okutuusia endagano eya yaifuuwira soifu Abraamu.*

74 Aaza okutu-aa amaani aga okumukorra ni tuwula owuti,

na amiire okututoola mu amakono aga awazigu wiifu.

75 Kandi tuuza okuwa aweeru kandi awigolovu emberi waae, amiire goona aga owulamu wuifu.*

76 Ni iwue, omwana wange, ooza okuetwa omugambi owa Katonda omunene;

aeniki orikangata emberi owa Omwami okuta emioyo egia awantu okuwa amankaga okumuingizia.*

77 Ooza oku-aa awantu waae amaganga aga okumanya owuinunuzi

owutuukrwa ni warekeerwe owuoni wuawu.*

78 Okuwitra ku owusiza owua olugonzi olwa Katonda iifu,

aaza okureeta owueru owua enyanga owua owuinunuzi wumurike,

ni wuema ku igulu,*

79 ku awamenyere mu ekierema

80 Omwana oyo yakoma kandi awa omukalangufu mu omuwiri ni mu omwoyo; kandi yamenya mu ekeewa nawuno kutuuka afuma awonekana owuyanga ku Awaisraeli.*

Okuiwulwa okwa Yesu

(Math 1:18–25)

1 Mu amiire ago kwawa mbwe Omwami *Kaisaari Agusto yafumia amangʼana mbwe awari mu ekialo ekia Rooma woona wawalwe. 2 Kuno nikwo okwawanga okuwalwa okwa awantu okwasooka ni Kwirinaasi yawanga omukangasi * owa ekialo ekitono ekia Siiria. 3 Kandi omuntu ki omuntu yagia okuwalwa ku omugizi omunene ogwa ekialo ekia waaguukwa waawu. 4 Kutio Yoseefu oona yaema Nazareeti mu ekialo ekia Galiili agia Yudeea ku omugizi ogwa Bethleemu ogwa Daudi yawanga na amenyeremo, aeniki yawanga owa enyumba no owuiwulane owua Daudi. 5 Waagia eyo alala ni Maaria, owayawanga na akorre nae owuiko owua okukwezana, kandi owawanga na alwire ni isaai mu enyinga ezio. 6 Ni waawanga eyo, waaizukira ne enyinga ezia Maaria ezia okuigawula ni zituukre, 7 kandi yaiwula omwana waae owa kuluweri owekizia. Yamuwasania mu enguwo kandi amuta mu ekituwa ekia emiandu giriiramo, aeniki iwaga riawulangao mu amayumba aga awageni.*

Awaayi ne enyankoi

8 Ni waawangao awaayi awa amagondi awaawanga ni wamenyere mu ekiayiro ekia ampi ao, ni warinda emiandu giawu owuire. 9 *Enyankoi owa Omwami yawafumira kalala kandi owunene owua Omwami wuawala wuwasunguuzia. Okwo kwagera owuti owunene ino wuwa-amba.* 10 Ne enyankoi oyo yawalaga otino, “Mutatia aeniki mbareetiire amangʼana amalootu agareeta owusangaavu owunene ku awantu woona.* 11 Reero, Omwami *Kristo,† Omununuzi iinyu, aiwuulwe ku omugizi omunene ogwa Omwami Daudi.* 12 Kino nikio ekiiza okuwa ekilago ku inywe: Muuza okutuukra omwana owasaniiwue mu enguwo kandi agonre mu ekituwa ekia emiandu giriiramo.”

13 Kalala, omuganda ogwa enyankoi awa Katonda awangi waafuma wawa ne enyankoi oyo ni watondowola Katonda kandi ni waawoola watino,

14 “Owunene wuwe ni Katonda ori kungulu ino,

kandi owuolu wuwe ku awantu awaomerezia Katonda ku ekialo.”*

15 Olwa enyankoi awo waawareka ni wairana ku igulu, awaayi awo waawoola agati yaawu watino, “Mutugieko Bethleemu, tugie tuwone ekia *Omwami Katonda atulagre mbwe kiikorre eyo kino.” 16 Kutio waafuma wuangu-wuangu wagia waatuukra Yoseefu ni Maaria, alala no omwana ekingʼengʼe na agonre mu ekituwa ekia emiandu giriiramo. 17 Olwa waamala okumuwona waalanzia amangʼana aga waalagwa ku omwana oyo, 18 kandi woona awaawawurra waaluguula ino amangʼana aga awaayi awo waawalaga. 19 Ni Maaria iye yawiika amangʼana gano goona mu omwoyo gwae kandi yagaingirizianga.* 20 Awaayi awo wairana ni watondowola Katonda kandi ni wamu-aa owunene ku ewintu wiona ewia waawurra kandi wawona, ewiawanga mala kiomo waawanga ni wamiire okulagwa.

Yesu airrwe mu ekaalu

21 Olwa owuire owua munaane owua okuira omwana *enyangu wuatuuka, yaeewua eriina Yesu, eria enyankoi yamuluka ni isaai riae rikiari okuambwa.* 22 Na amiire aga okuieruyia okwa ngʼina omwana nikulondokana ne endagirra eya Muusa,† gaawua, Yoseefu ni Maaria waagia Yerusaleemu okufumia omusango. Waagia no omwana Yesu okumuta emberi wa Omwami Katonda, 23 ni walonda *ensikirra ezia Omwami Katonda eziwoola otino, “Omwana owekizia osookere mu enda ari omweru otengeekeerwe Omwami Katonda.”† 24 Lwona waagia okufumia omusango nikulondokana ne endagirra eya Omwami Katonda ewoola mbwe: omuntu afumia amaemba-emba awiri nakuwa ewiana ewia ewigimbamvula wiwiri.

25 Yawangao omuntu Yerusaleemu owaetwanga Simoni, omuntu omuigolovu kandi oambre amangʼana aga Omwami Katonda. Yarindirranga okuwona owuire owua Awaisraeli waazanga okununulwa, kandi *Omwoyo Omweru yamuwangako. 26 Yawanga na amiire okulagwa no Omwoyo Omweru mbwe ngarifwa na atawuine Kristo, Omununuzi owa Omwami Katonda yaifuuwa okutuma.* 27 Yakangatrwa no Omwoyo Omweru mala agia aingira mu olwanyi olwa *ekaalu. Olwa awiiwuzi awa omwana Yesu waaingira nae mu ekaalu okumukorra kiomo enkola ezia endagirra ziagalanga, 28 Simoni yamuginga mu amakono gaae atanika okutondowola Katonda na awoola otino, 29 “Omwami omunene, omiire okukola kiomo waaifuuwa. Katio oesa wandeka inze *omukurumu waao ngone no owuolu, 30 aeniki miire okuwona, omuntu ooza okununula awantu, na amiiso gange. 31 Ee, owuinunuzi owua omiire okureeta kandi ota emberi owa awantu woona.* 32 Iye nio owueru owuuza okusasurra namba awantu awatari *Awayaudi engira yaao kandi aaza okureetra awantu waao Awaisraeli owunene owukuemako.”*

33 Ewintu ewia awiiwuzi awa omwana waawurra ni Simioni awoola ku omwana waawu wiawa-amba eminwa. 34 Nikuemao, Simoni yawasereka kandi alaga Maaria ngʼina Yesu otino, “Omwana ono arigera Awaisraeli awangi wari-isiwua ansi, na awandi wariniiniwua kungulu. Ariwa ekilago ekiema ku Katonda ekia awantu warilowa ni wagamba-gambako uwiiwi,* 35 kugere amaingirizio agari mu emioyo egia awantu gamanyike. Namba iwue oona, oriwa no omwoyo omululu kiomo omuntu owa omwambe gufumuute guingira mu enkolo munsi.”*

36 Lwona yawangao *omugambi owekikazi owa Katonda owaetwanga Aana, omwala owa Fanueli, owa ekiriango ekia Aasa. Yawanga na akiriiye katio, ni yamenya ni iwuae mala ku emiaka musamvu giengʼene. 37 Nikuemao iwuae yafwa asigala omukazi omufwire nawuno awa ne emiaka amakumi munaane ni ine. Ngakaemanga mu ekaalu, ni yakorra Katonda owuire no omuwasu, na asawa kandi na asiwa okuria aa ataria.* 38 Yawaazako ampi mu enyinga ezio atanika okuiranizia Katonda otioo na agamba-ngamba ku omwana Yesu, ku awantu awa Yerusaleemu woona awaarindirranga okununulwa mu amakono aga awazigu.*

39 Ni waamala okukola ewintu wiona kiomo endagirra eya Omwami yaagalanga, Yoseefu ni Maaria wairana Galiili ku omugizi gwawu oguetwa Nazareeti. 40 Kandi omwana oyo yakoma awa omukalangufu. Yaizuziwua na amaganga amangi kandi owusiza owua Katonda wuamuwangako.*

Omuzia Yesu asigaale mu ekaalu

41 Omwaka ki omwaka awiiwuzi waae waagianga Yerusaleemu mu omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka.* 42 Olwa yawanga ne emiaka ikumi ni iwiri, waagia nae nikulondokana ne enkola eya omugomo ogwo. 43 Olwa omugomo gwawua kandi awiiwuzi waae wairananga engo, omuzia Yesu iye yasigala enyima Yerusaleemu na awiiwuzi waae watamanyire. 44 Waagenda-genda ku owuire owulala ni waingirizia mbwe yawanga agati eya awalugendwa. Lunyima, waatanika okumuagala mu awaganda na awiiko waawu, 45 ni ngawakamutuukra. Enkio walwo waatanika olugendo olwa okuirana Yerusaleemu, ni wamuagala. 46 Owuire owua okusatu waamutuukra mu olwanyi olwa ekaalu, na aikaale agati ya *awagerezi awa endagirra na awategerezia kandi na awawuuzia embuuzia. 47 Awantu woona awaamuwurra waaluguula ino kiomo amanyire ewintu ewingi kandi kiomo yairanianga embuuzia. 48 Olwa awiiwuzi waae waamuwona waaluguula. Ngʼinwae yamulaga otino, “Mwana wange, ekigera no otukoriire otino niki? Inze ni swao tumiire okunyaka-nyaaka ino ni tukuagala.” 49 Ni iye yawawuuzia otino, “Munyagalenga kolaki? Na mukawanga ni mumanyire mbwe nsugaane mbe mu enyumba eya Soifu?”* 50 Ni iwo ngawakamanya ekia yawalaganga. 51 Nikuemao, yaika nawo Nazareeti kandi yamenya nawo no owuti geeza. Ni ngʼinwae yawiika kandi a-amba ewintu wino mu omwoyo gwae.* 52 Kandi Yesu yakoma mu amaganga kandi mu omuwiri gwona; yagonziwua na awantu kandi ni Katonda yoona.

(Math 3:1–12; Mari 1:1–8; Yowa 1:19–28)

1 Gwawanga omwaka ogwa ikumi ni itaanu mu owukangasi owua *Kaisaari Tiberiasi. Pontias Pilaato yawanga omukangasi owa ekitemo ekia Yudeea, ne *Eroode yawanga omukangasi owa ekitemo ekia Galiili. Wamwawu waae Piliipo nio owawanga omukangasi owa Iturea ni Trakonitiisi, ni Lisaania yawanga omukangasi owa Abileene. 2 Anaasi ni Kaifa niwo awaawanga awakangasi awa *awoozia. Amiire ago amangʼana aga Katonda gaazra Yowaana omuzia owa Zakaria na ari mu ekeewa.* 3 Yagia mu ewialo wiona ewiri ampi no oluuzi olwa Yordaani, na alanzizia awantu mbwe wagaluke wareke amawi, wabatiiswe kugere Katonda awarekere owuoni wuawu.* 4 Kiomo Katonda yawoola mu amangʼana agari mu ebuuki eya *Omugambi Isaaya otino:

“Omwoyo ogwa omuntu oetana mu ekeewa otino,

‘Mulongre Omwami engira,

6 Kandi awantu woona waaza okuwona owuinunuzi owua Katonda.’ ”†

7 Yowaana yalaga omuganda ogwa awantu awamuuzako kugere awabatiise otino, “Inywe awaana awa enzoka wano! Owasiagiizie mbwe mumizule okuswawukwa no okusu okungi okuuza naanu?* 8 Muamie ensaafu ezia mu enkola, ezilagana geeza mbwe omuntu agaluuke arekere amawi.

Yowaana yawairania otino, “Mutatoola amasendi ku awantu na amaani kandi mutata amangʼana aga owuweeyi ku omuntu. Mureke emisaara giinyu giwasuge!”

15 Awantu awaarindranga okuuza okwa Omununuzi waaingirizianga mu emioyo giawu mbwe Yowaana oyo nio owawanga *Meesia. 16 Yowaana yawairania woona otino, “Inze mbabatiisa na amanzi. Na ario amuntu omukaate okunkira ooza, omuntu owa ngʼasugre namba okusiwula engoe ezia ewiraato wiae. Iye aaza okuwabatiisa no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda kandi no omurro.* 17 Ari ne ekiseeso kiae mu amakono, ekia aaza okuseesra amaemba mu olwanyi lwae. Emere aaza okuta mu ekiagi, na amakunzo aaza okusamba no omurro ogutazima.” 18 Na amangʼana gandi amangi, Yowaana yaiyemba awantu na awalanzizia amangʼana amalootu. 19 No olwa Yowaana yagaania Omwami Eroode ku amangʼana aga Erodiasi muka wamwawu owa yatoola okuwa omukazi waae, kandi ku amawi gandi amangi aga Eroode yakolanga, 20 Eroode yasonga owuwi ku amawi goona aga yakola ago olwa yaingizia Yowaana mu owusiwe.*

Yesu ageezaaniwua ne Ekikeeno

(Math 4:1–11; Mari 1:12–13)

1 Yesu yaema mu Oluuzi olwa Yordaani na aizuziiwue no *Omwoyo Omweru owamukangatra amuira 2 mu ekeewa, aa *Ekikeeno kiamugeezaania ku amiire amakumi ane. Ngakaria ekintu-ukintu ku amiire ago, kandi mu entuuko yago enzala katio yamurianga!* 3 Ekikeeno kiamulaga kitino, “No ori Omuzia owa Katonda, laga iwaale rino rigaluke riwe okuria.” 4 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Kujojrwe mu endagano mbwe: ‘Okuria kwengʼene ngakugera no omuntu awa omulamu.’† ”

5 Ekikeeno kiamuira asi ari kungulu ino kandi kimulaga ewialo wiona ewia owuami owua ku ekialo, kalala ki olumesi. 6 Nikuemao kiamulaga kitino, “Nyiza okuku-aa amaani goona aga owukangasi owua ewialo wino no owunene wuawio wuona, aeniki miire okuwiewua kandi nyesa okuwi-aa omuntu-umuntu kiomo mbwine.* 7 Kutio, no onyifunamiire kandi ompe owunene, wiona wiiza okuwa ewiao.” 8 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Kujojrwe mu endagano mbwe, ‘Ifunamira kandi o-ee *Omwami Katonda waao engʼene owunene kandi iye engʼene nio osugaane okorre.’† ”*

9 Ekikeeno kiamuira Yerusaleemu, kimuemerezia asi aliire okukira ku enzizi eya *ekaalu, kimulaga kitino, “No ori Omuzia owa Katonda, eema ano oguluke ogwe ansi. 10 Aeniki kujojrwe mu endagano mbwe, ‘Katonda aaza okusikirra *enyankoi waae wakurinde, 11 kandi waaza okukuginga kungulu kugere otaguunya okugulu ku iwaale.’† ” 12 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Endagano ewoola mbwe, ‘Otageezaania Omwami Katonda waao.’† ” 13 Olwa Ekikeeno kiamala okugeezaania Yesu mu engira zino ziona, kiamureka nawuno enyinga zindi zituuka.

Yesu atanika emirimo egia okulanzia amangʼana amalootu

(Math 4:12–17; Mari 1:14–15)

14 Yesu yairana owaawu Galiili na akangatiirwe no Omwoyo Omweru, kandi amangʼana gaaye gailanzia mu ewitemo wiona ewiri ampi ao.* 15 Yagerera awantu mu amasinagoogi gaawu, kandi awantu woona waamu-aa owunene.

Yesu alowerwe Nazareeti

16 Yesu yairana owaawu Nazareeti aa yakomera. Owuire owua *Sabato yagia mu *esinagoogi kiomo kwawanga enkola yaae kandi yaimerra okusoma endagano. 17 Ebuuki eya *Omugambi Isaaya yateewua mu amakono gaae. Yagisanukula mala atuukra asi ajojrwe otino,

18 “Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Omwami andimo, kandi amiire *okumbaka amavuta kugere ndanzie amangʼana amalootu ku awataka. Amiire okuntuma okulanzia okusiwulwa okwa awasiwe, kandi mbwe awawuunu wawone, kandi okuta owuyanga awantu awanyaasiwua.* 19 Kandi okulanzia mbwe amiire aga Omwami aaza okulagana owusiza ku awantu waae gamiire okutuuka.”†*

20 Nikuemao, yasanikra ebuuki eyo agiiranizia owemirimo owa mu esinagoogi, mala agia aikala ansi okugerera. Awantu woona waamutaako ekiwi ekia amiiso. 21 Nikuemao, yatanika okugamba-gamba otino, “Reero amangʼana gano gatuukre kuwuene kiomo mugawuriire na amatwi giinyu otio.”

22 Woona waamugamba-gambako geeza ni waaluguula amangʼana amalootu aga owusiza agaafumanga mu omunwa gwae. Ni ngawakaganya nae mbwe nio *Meesia, kutio waaiwuuzia watino, “Kane ono ngʼano omuzia owa Yoseefu?”* 23 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Kuwuene muuza okundaga emfumo ewoola etino, ‘Omurezi, irerako omwene!’ Lwona muuza okundaga mbwe, ‘Kolako ku omugizi gwinyu ano ewintu ewia twawuriire mbwe wakola Kapernaumu.’ ” 24 Yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene, mbwe omugambi ngaingiziwua mu ekialo kiawu.* 25 Ni kuwuene mbwe waawangao awakazi awafwire awangi mu ekialo ekia Awaisraeli mu amiire aga Omugambi Eliija, olwa igulu riaigalwao ku emiaka isatu ne enusu kandi enzala enene ya-amba ekialo kiona. 26 Ne Eliija ngakatumwa ku iwo woona, ni yatumwa mala ku omukazi omufwire owawanga Zarefaathi mu ekitemo ekia Sidooni.* 27 Lwona, waawangao awalwire awangi awaalwalanga owugenge mu ekialo ekia Awaisraeli mu amiire aga Omugambi Eliisa, ni woona ngawakalama ku owulwire owuo, ni mala Naamani engʼene owaemanga mu ekialo ekia Siiria.”*

28 Awantu woona awaawanga mu esinagoogi enda ziawu ziayia nae ino olwa waawurra amangʼana gano. 29 Waaemerrako, wamusindika enze eya omugizi wamuira ku oluwanga olwa ekigiri ekia omugizi ogwo gwaombokwako, kugere wamuluume agwe ansi. 30 Ni iye yagenda-genda agati ya omurima ogwo mala agia eziae.*

Yesu afumiizie ekikeeno

(Mari 1:21–28)

31 Yesu yaika agia Kapernaumu, omugizi oguri mu ekitemo ekia Galiili kandi owuire owua Sabato yagereranga awantu.* 32 Awaawurra engerera yaae gaawa-amba eminwa, aeniki amangʼana gaae gaawanga na amaani.* 33 Mu esinagoogi omwo yawangao omuntu owawanga ne ekikeeno. Omuntu oyo yarra wukalu otino, 34 “Otuagalakooki, iwue Yesu Omunazareeti? Wuno oozre okutumala? Manyire owa ori, ni iwue Omweru oemere ku Katonda!”* 35 Ni Yesu yasiagizia ekikeeno ekio na awoola otino, “Sarigira kiri, kandi fuma omuemeko!” Nikuemao ekikeeno ekio kiagwisia omuntu oyo ansi emberi waawu, mala kimufumako ni kitamunyarre omuwiri. 36 Amangʼana ago ga-amba eminwa egia awantu awaawangao awo woona, kandi waaiwuuzia agati yaawu watino, “Gano amangʼanaaki gano? Agamba-gambra namba *ewikeeno ewiwiiwi na amaani no owukire nawuno wiafuma ku awantu.” 37 Kandi amangʼana aga ewintu ewia yakolanga wino gaailanzia gatuuka asi-uasi mu ewialo ewiri ampi ao.

Yesu alamiizie awantu awangi

(Math 8:14–17; Mari 1:29–34)

38 Yesu yaema mu esinagoogi agia ku omugizi ogwa Simioni. Kwatuukra ni maaziala Simioni agona ku ekitanda no omuwiri guri omuyu le, alwala. Awalonzi waae waamusawa mbwe amutunzie. 39 Yesu yagia amuimerrako ampi mala asiagizia owulwire owuo kandi wumureka. Ku enyinga ezio, yalama mala aema atanika okuwa-aa okuria.

40 Kutio iguulo, ne enyanga yawanga ne egia okugwamo,* awantu woona awaawanga na awalwire awaalwalanga amalwire agagawuke-gawuuke waawareeta ku Yesu, kandi yata amakono gaae ku omuntu ki omuntu na awalamia. 41 Ewikeeno wiona wiafuma ku awantu awangi ni wikuula witino, “Iwue ni iwue Omuzia owa Katonda!” Ni iye yawisarigizia, kandi ngakawiganyira okugamba-gamba aeniki wiawanga ni wimanyire mbwe yawanga *Kristo.

Yesu alanzia amangʼana amalootu Galiili

(Math 4:23–25; Mari 1:35–39)

42 Kunkio ku amagambaazi, Yesu yafuma agia asi andi aa akawa omwene. Awantu waamuagala, kandi olwa waamutuukako ngawakaagalanga mbwe afume awareke. 43 Ni iye yawalaga otino, “Paka ndanzie amangʼana amalootu aga *Owuami owua Katonda mu emigizi gindi giona, aeniki ekio nikio ekiagera ni ntumwa.”* 44 Kutio yagia emberi okulanzia mu amasinagoogi agari mu ekialo ekia *Awayaudi.

Amankono aga okuamba emvwa enyingi

1 Owuire wulala, Yesu yawanga na aimeriire ku ensanyaata eya enyanza eya *Genezereeti, na awantu wamuikumiizieko kandi wawurra amangʼana aga Katonda. 2 Yawona amaato awiri ni garekerwe ku ensanyaata ao, na awavuwi aweene waaozianga engoe ziawu. 3 Yaingira mu owuato owulala owua Simioni (owa eriina riae rindi riawanga Petro), kandi yamusawa mbwe asindike owuato mu amanzi ampi ni ku ekialo. Nikuemao, yaikala mu owuato kandi yatanika okugerera omurima ogwa awantu na aikaale omwo.

4 Olwa Yesu yamala okugamba-gamba na awantu, yalaga Simioni otino, “Musiawazie owuato mugie ewuziwa mugie mutege engoe ziinyu ziambe emvwa.” 5 Simioni yamuirania otino, “Omwami, tumiire okukola emirimo emikalu owuire owulamba ni ngatuka-amba emvwa. Ni aeniki ni iwue owoorre otio, ngia okutega engoe.”* 6 Olwa waakola watio, wa-amba emvwa enyingi ino aa engoe ziatanika okutanduka.* 7 Kutio, waaeta awiina waawu awaawanga mu owuato wundi waaze wawatunzie. Olwa waaza, waaizuzia amaato awiri ago ne emvwa du nawuno gawona okuniwa. 8 Olwa Simioni Petro yawona ekiaikola kino, yagwa mu amasigamo gaae emberi wa Yesu na amulaga otino, “Nyemeeko, ogia ale ni inze Omwami. Ndi omuntu omwoni!”* 9 Iye alala na awantu awa yawanga nawo gaawa-amba eminwa olwa waawona emvwa enyingi ezia wa-ambre, 10 kandi nintio lwona awiina waae, Yakoobo ni Yowaana, awazia awa Zebeedi, woona gaawa-amba eminwa. Nikuemao Yesu yalaga Simioni otino, “Otatia, okuemera reero ooza okuwa omuvuwi owa awantu no owareeta okundonda.” 11 Kutio, waakulula amaato gaawu ku ekialo kandi wareka ewintu wiona wamulonda.*

Yesu alamiizie omuntu owa owugenge

(Math 8:1–4; Mari 1:40–45)

12 Ni Yesu yawanga na ari ku omugizi gundi, omuntu olwala owulwire owua owugenge* yaaza, kandi olwa yawona Yesu yamwifunamra na amuiyemba otino, “Omwami, nkusawa mbwe no oganyire, oesa okunyeruyia mbe omweru.” 13 Yesu yagolola okukono kwae amuamba, nikuemao amulaga otino, “Ee, nganyire. Wa omulamu!” Ku enyinga ezio owugenge owuamuwuako. 14 Nikuemao Yesu yamusikirra mbwe, “Otalaga omuntu ekintu ekikuikoriire kino, ni gia oilagane ku *omuozia kandi ofumie omusango ogwa Muusa yasikirra awantu awalamre ku owugenge, kiwe ekilago ku awantu woona mbwe olamre.”*

15 Kukawa mbwe yamugaania mbwe atalaga awantu amangʼana gaae ago, ni gaailanzia kuwungi okukira, kandi omurima ogwa awantu gwazanga okutegerezia Yesu no okulamiwua ku amalwire gaawu.* 16 Ni kangi Yesu yawaemangako okugia okuwa omwene mu ekeewa na asawa.*

Yesu ari na amaani aga okurekera awantu amawi

(Math 9:1–8; Mari 2:1–12)

17 Owuire wulala ni Yesu yawanga na agerera, *Awafarisaayo na *awagerezi awa endagirra awaaemanga mu ewitemo wiona ewia Galiili, na awaaemanga Yudeea ni Yerusaleemu, waaza waikala ao. Amaani aga *Omwami Katonda gaawanga ao aga okulamia awalwire. 18 Awantu wandi waaza ni wagingre omulwire owa omuwiri gufwire engʼanzi ku iseero kandi waagalanga mbwe waingire mu enyumba wamute emberi owa Yesu. 19 Ni ngawakatuukra engira eya okuingira mu enyumba aeniki awantu waawanga ni waizuule enyumba du okutuuka ku ekiriango. Kutio, waaniina kungulu ku olusala walutagula kandi wamuisia mu enyumba agati ya awantu emberi wa Yesu na agonere ku iseero. 20 Olwa Yesu yawona okuganya okwa waawanga nakwo, yawoola otino, “Omuzia, amawi gaao orekeerwe.”* 21 Awafarisaayo na awagerezi awa endagirra waatanika okuiwuuzia watino, “Ono naanu oifwanania ni Katonda ono? Naanu oesa okurekera awantu owuoni ogawuuke ni Katonda omwene?”* 22 Yesu yamanya ekia waaiwuuzianga kandi yawairania otino, “Ekigera ni muiwuuzia ku amangʼana gano mu emioyo giinyu niki? 23 Ekiwuuwu okukola niki, okuwoola mbwe ‘Amawi gaao orekeerwe,’ nakuwa okuwoola mbwe ‘Ema ogende-gende’? 24 Ni kugere mumanye mbwe *Omuzia owa Omuntu ari na amaani aga okurekera awantu amawi ku ekialo kuno…” yalaga omuntu owa omuwiri gwafwa engʼanzi oyo otino, “Nkulaga mbwe ema otoole iseero riao ogie engo.”* 25 Mu enyinga ezio yaimerra emberi waawu, atoola ekintu ekia yawanga na agonereko, afuma agia engo na atondowola Katonda. 26 Awantu woona waaluguula ino kandi waatondowola Katonda. Owuti wuawa-amba kandi waawoola watino, “Reero tuwuine ewintu ewikate-kaate ewiluguulwa!”

Yesu yaaza okueta awooni

(Math 9:9–13; Mari 2:13–17)

27 Nikuemao Yesu yafuma okugia kandi ni yagianga yawona omusolozi owa *omusolo oetwa mbwe Laawi na aikaale mu enyumba omwa awantu waafumiangamo omusolo. Yesu yalaga omuntu oyo mbwe, “Ndonde.” 28 Laawi yaema areka ewintu wiona atanika okumulonda.*

29 Nikuemao Laawi yakorra Yesu owugeni owunene mu enyumba yaae, kandi omurima ogwa awasolozi awa omusolo na awantu wandi waaria nawo alala.* 30 Awafarisaayo na awagerezi awa endagirra awaawanga ao waasoozia awalonzi awa Yesu watino, “Ekigera ni muria kandi munywa na awasolozi awa omusolo na ‘awooni’ niki?” 31 Yesu yawairania otino, “Awiifu kane awalwire, nganiwo awaagala omurezi? Awalamu iwo waagarraki omurezi? 32 Inze ngʼanyakaaza okueta awantu awigolovu, ni nyaazra awooni kugere wagaluke wareke owuoni.”*

Engerera eya Yesu egawuuke ne eya Awafarisaayo

(Math 9:14–17; Mari 2:18–22)

33 Awantu wandi waalaga Yesu watino, “Awalonzi awa Yowaana kangi wasiwa okuria ni wasawa, namba awalonzi awa Awafarisaayo woona wakola watio, ni iwue awaao waria kandi wanywa-unywa.”* 34 Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Awageni awa owugeni owua enserezi wakasiwa okuria otie ni ngʼina enserezi akiari nawo? 35 Amiire gaaza aga ngʼina enserezi oyo aaza okutoolwao awaemeko, nikwo warisiwa okuria.” 36 Yawalaga olugero luno: “Awulao omuntu otoola ekiraka ku enguwo empia kandi yakinawa ku enguwo enkiire. Ni na akorre otio, aaza okutandula enguwo empia eyo, ni kandi ekiraka ekiyia ekio ngakiiza okuambana geeza ne enguwo enkiire eyo. 37 Lwona, awulao oesa okuta edivaai empia mu ekimuga ekia edivaai ekia iseero ikulu.

1 Owuire wulala olwa *Sabato, Yesu yawitanga mu emisiri egia engaano. Awalonzi waae waatanika okuiiya ewigala ewia engaano, ni wazikunya-kunya mu amakono gaawu ni waria.* 2 Na *Awafarisaayo wandi waawawuuzia watino, “Muiiya ewigala ewia engaano olwa Sabato kolaki, ne endagirra iifu ngetuganyiire okukola otio?”* 3 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inywe mukiari okusoma ekia Omwami Daudi yakola olwa iye alala na awantu awayawanga nawo waawurranga enzala? 4 Yagia mu enyumba eya Katonda aeewua emikaati egitengeekwe emberi wa Katonda aria. Emikaati egia endagirra etaganyiire omuntu-umuntu okuria mala *awoozia wengʼene, kandi yaesania egindi ku awantu awaawanga nae wagiria.”* 5 Yesu yamariizia na awalaga otino, “*Omuzia owa Omuntu nio Omwami owa Sabato.”

Yesu alamiizie omurema olwa Sabato

(Math 12:9–14; Mari 3:1–6)

6 Owuire wundi olwa Sabato, Yesu yaingira mu *esinagoogi atanika okugerera. Omwo yawangao omuntu owa okukono kwae okusaaza kwaremera. 7 Awafarisaayo na *awagerezi awa endagirra waagalanga ekintu ekia wakamuingirra nakio mbwe aonre Sabato. 8 Ni Yesu yamanya ekia waingirizianga, kutio yalaga omuntu owa okukono kwaremera oyo otino, “Iza oimerre emberi ano.” Omuntu oyo yaema kandi aimerra ao. 9 Nikuemao Yesu yawalaga otino, “Mbawuuzia, niki ekia endagirra iifu etuganyiire okukola olwa Sabato? Okukola geeza nakuwa okukola owuwiiwi? Okutunzia owulamu owua omuntu nakuwa okuwuona?” 10 Yawawarra woona awasunguuzia nikwo amulaga otino, “Golola okukono kwao.” Yakola otio kandi okukono okwo kwairana kuwa okulamu ngʼese. 11 Okusu kwa-amba Awafarisaayo na awagerezi awa endagirra ino, okwagera watanika okugamba-gamba agati yaawu ku ekia wakakorra Yesu.*

37 “Otakengera owundi ekiina, kugere iwue oona otakengerwa ekiina. Otata owuoni ku omuntu nikwo iwue oona ngoriteewuako owuoni. Rekera awandi amawi gaawu nikwo iwue oona orirekerwa amawi gaao.* 38 Ezania ku awandi nikwo iwue oona ooza okueewua, mu omurengo omulootu, oguigatiirwe kandi oguizuule gwasaawaala, ooza okuteerwa mu amakono. Aeniki omurengo ogwa orenga nagwo, nigwo iwue oona ooza okurengerwa nagwo.”*

39 Lwona yawalaga olugero otino, “Omuntu omuwuunu aesa otie okukangatra omuwuunu omwina waae? Woona ngawaaza okugwa mu owuina?* 40 Omuntu oigerera ngakira omugerezi waae, no omuntu-umuntu na agereerwe nawuno ainogerezie geeza, aesa okuwa ki omugerezi waae.* 41 Iwue niki ekigera no owarra akantu akatono akari mu eriiso eria omwina waao, no oguntu ogunene oguri mu eriiso riao omwene ngagukunyaasia? 42 Oesa otie okulaga omwina waao mbwe, ‘Wamwifu, reka nkutoorreo akaatu akari mu eriiso riao,’ ni iwue omwene ngowona oguntu ogunene oguri mu eriiso riao?

Omuti gumanywa ne ensaafu ziagwo

(Math 7:16–18; 12:34b–35)

43 “Guwulao omuti omulootu oguama ensaafu embiiwi, kandi guwulao omuti omuwiiwi oguama ensaafu endootu. 44 Kutio omuti ki omuti gumanywa ne ensaafu ziagwo. Ensaafu ezia emikuyu ngaziesa okunogwa okuema ku emiti egia amawua, nakuwa emizabiibu okuema ku omunyenya. 45 Omuntu omulootu afumia mala ewintu ewilootu okuema ku owulootu owuri mu omwoyo gwae, kandi omuntu omuwiiwi afumia mala ewintu ewiwiiwi okuema ku owuwi owuri mu omwoyo gwae. Aeniki ewintu ewia omunwa guwoola wiema mala ku ewiizuule omwoyo ogwa omuntu.

Omuomboki omumaya no omuomboki omuganga

(Math 7:24–27)

46 “Ekigera ni munyeta mbwe ‘Omwami, Omwami,’ ni ngamukola ewia mbalaga niki?* 47 Nyiza okuwalaga kiomo omuntu onyizreko, owurra amangʼana gange kandi yakola nago, afwanana. 48 Afwanana no omuntu owa na aomboka enyumba, a-aawa na agia munsi nawuno owulusa wuatuuka ku iwaale. Olwa omugera gwaza kandi amanzi gaika, gaikuba ku enyumba eyo, enyumba ngekazegera, aeniki yawanga ne eombookwe wukalu. 49 No omuntu owurra amangʼana gange ni yareka okukola nago afwanana no omuntu owaomboka enyumba ku ilowa na ataawre owulusa. Olwa amanzi gaaika, gaikuba ku enyumba eyo, yagwa ansi boo, mala eoneka chee.”*

Okuganya okwa omukangasi owa awa-iiye owa Awaruumi

(Math 8:5–13)

1 Olwa Yesu yamala okuwoola amangʼana gaae goona na awantu wamutegerezia, yaingira ku omugizi ogwa Kapernaumu. 2 Omwo, yawangao omukangasi owa awa-iiye owa Awaruumi owa owemirimo waae owa yawanga na agonziizie ino yalwalanga ampi okufwa. 3 Olwa omukangasi oyo yawurra mbwe Yesu ari ao, yatuma *awagaaka *Awayaudi okugia okumusawa mbwe aaze alamie owemirimo waae. 4 Olwa waatuuka ku Yesu, waamuisasaama ni wawoola watino, “Omuntu ono osugaane omukorre geeza, 5 aeniki agonziizie awiifu kandi yatuombokiire *esinagoogi.” 6 Kutio, Yesu yagia nawo.

Olwa Yesu yatuuka ampi ne enyumba, omukangasi oyo yatuma awiiko waae wamulage watino, “Omwami, otainyaasia okuuza ano, aeniki ngʼansugre iwue okuingira mu enyumba yange. 7 Ekio nikio ekigera ni nyawona mbwe ntakuuzako omwene. Ni woola-uwoola ingʼana, kandi owemirimo wange aaza okuwa omulamu. 8 Inze omwene ndi omuntu ori ansi eya awandi, ni noona ndi na awa-iiye awakola ansi yange. Ni ndagre omulala mbwe, ‘Gia,’ agia kandi owundi mbwe ‘Iza ano,’ aaza-uuza. Ndaga *omukurumu wange mbwe, ‘Kola kino,’ kandi yakikola.”

9 Olwa Yesu yawurra amangʼana gano, yaomererwa ino nae, kandi yagaluka awarra omurima ogwa awantu awaamulondanga awalaga otino, “Mbalaga mbwe namba mu ekialo ekia Israeli ano, okuemera ri nkiari okutuukrako omuntu namba omulala, ori no okuganya okunene kutino.” 10 Nikuemao awantu awaatumwa waria waairana mu enyumba watuukra no owemirimo oyo amiire okulama.

Yesu aziusie omuzia owa omukazi omufwire

11 Enkio walwo, Yesu yagia ku omugizi oguetwa mbwe Naini, kandi omurima ogwa awantu alala na awalonzi waae waagia nae. 12 Ni yatuuka ampi ne ekikulo ekia omugizi ogwo, ya-agaana awantu ni wagingre ekitundu ekia omufu ni wafuma nakio enze eya omugizi. Omufu oyo yawanga omuzia omulala engʼene owa omukazi omufwire kandi awantu awangi awa ku omugizi ogwo waawanga no omukazi oyo. 13 Olwa Omwami yamuwona, yamuambra amasaasra mu omwoyo mala amulaga otino, “Reka okurra.” 14 Nikuemao yagia ampi a-amba iseero erigingrweko omufu oyo kandi awaawanga ni wamugingre waaimerra. Yawoola otino, “Omuwuuka ono, emaa!” 15 Omufu oyo yaema aikala kandi atanika okugamba-gamba, kandi Yesu yamuiranizia ngʼina. 16 Owuti owungi owuluguulwa wua-amba awantu awo ino kandi waatondowola Katonda ni wawoola watino, “*Omugambi omunene afumre agati iifu. Katonda omwene amiire okuuza okutunzia awantu waae.”* 17 Amangʼana agaaikola gano gaailanzia mu ewialo wiona ewia Yudeea ne ewialo windi ewiri ampi ao.

Yowaana Omubatiisi awuuzia ni Yesu ari Meesia

(Math 11:1–6)

18 Awalonzi awa Yowaana Omubatiisi waamulaga ewintu ewiaikola wino wiona. 19 Yaeta awawiri ku iwo awatuma ku *Omwami Yesu, wagie wamuwuuzie watino, “Ni iwue omuntu owasugananga aaze, kusi tusugaane turindirre owundi?”

20 Olwa awantu wano waatuuka ku Yesu, waamulaga watino, “Yowaana Omubatiisi atutumre kugere tukuwuuzie otino, ‘Ni iwue omuntu owasugananga aaze, kusi tusugaane turindirre owundi?’ ” 21 Mu enyinga ezio, Yesu yalamia awantu awangi ku amalwire gaawu, awaawanga awatekere, awaawanga ne *ewikeeno kandi yaigulao amiiso aga awantu awangi awaawanga awawuunu. 22 Nikuemao yawairania otino, “Mugie mulage Yowaana ewintu ewia muwuine ne ewia muwuriire: Awawuunu wawona, awarema wagenda-genda, awa owugenge walamiwua, awa amatwi amaziwu wawurra, awafu waziusiwua, kandi amangʼana amalootu galanziziwua awataka. 23 Omuntu otairana enyima* ku amangʼana gange asereekwe.”

Yesu agamba-gamba ku Yowaana

(Math 11:7–11)

24 Olwa *awatumwa awa Yowaana waamala okufuma wagia, Yesu yatanika okugamba-gambra omurima ogwa awantu ogwo ku Yowaana otino, “Olwa mwagia ku Yowaana mu ekeewa, ekia mwagia okuwona niki? Kusi ekituutu ekiyunziwua-yunziwua no omuyaga? 25 Ni kutari kutio, ekia mwagia enze eyo okuwona niki? Omuntu oingiizie enguwo endootu? Yawa! Awantu awaingizia enguwo endootu-ndootu kandi awamenyere owulamu owua kungulu, waituukrana mu amayumba aga awaami. 26 Ekia mwagia enze eyo okuwona katio niki? Omugambi? Ee, omugambi kandi mbalaga mbwe akirre omugambi no okukira. 27 Ono nio omuntu owajojwako kale mbwe,

Kukawa kutio, omuntu omutono otuukre mu *Owuami owua Katonda amukirre.” 29 Awantu woona namba awasolozi awa *omusolo awaawurra okulanzia kwae, waaganya mbwe okwo nikwo okwawanga engira eya Katonda eri kuwuene, aeniki woona waabasiitwa ni Yowaana.*

Yowaana ni Yesu walowerwe

(Math 11:12–19)

30 Na *Awafarisaayo na *awagerezi awa endagirra, iwo waalowa okuagala okwa Katonda mu owulamu wuawu, ku okulowa okubatiiswa ni Yowaana.* 31 “Awantu awa ikula rino nyesa okuwafwanania naki katio? 32 Wafwana awaana awaikaale mu ekiiyia awaogerera ni waeta awaana awiina waawu watino,

Kino kiagera ni muwoola mbwe, ‘Omuntu ono ari ne ekikeeno!’* 34 No *Omuzia owa Omuntu iye aria kandi anywa, kandi okwo kugera ni muwoola mbwe, ‘Omuntu ono agonziizie okuria kandi ari omunywi. Lwona ari omwiko owa awasolozi awa omusolo na awooni.’** 35 No owuganga wulaganwa mu enkola.”

Orekeerwe owuoni owungi awa no olugonzi olungi

36 Omufarisaayo wundi yaeta Yesu owugeni okuria nae okuria okwa igulo. Kutio Yesu yagia mu enyumba yaae okuria.* 37 Omukazi wundi owa ku omugizi ogwo, owawanga na amenyere owulamu owua owuoni, olwa yawurra mbwe Yesu aria omwa Omufarisaayo oyo, yareeta amavuta agawunya esaami mu ichupa eria alabasta. 38 Yagia aimerra emugongo nyamagulu aga Yesu owawanga na aigoloole na aria ku emeesa. Yarra amaziga ni gaika, kandi yatanika okuwaka amagulu aga Yesu na amaziga ago, na agaeeya ne emvwiri ezia ku omutwe gwae. Yamunuuna amagulu na amu-aa owuti kandi *yagawaka na amavuta ago.

39 Olwa Omufarisaayo owamueta owugeni yawona ekiaikola kino, yawoola mu omwoyo gwae otino, “Kuweeko mbwe omuntu ono ari omugambi, akamanyire omukazi omuambreko ono, lwona akamanyire mbwe omukazi ono ari omwoni.”*

40 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Simioni, kirio ekintu ekia nyagala okukulaga.” Simioni yamuirania otino, “Woola, omugerezi.”

41 Yesu yatanika otino, “Awantu wawiri waawanga no omusango ogwa omuntu oozia awantu amasendi. Omulala yawanga no omusango ogwa edinaari † mia witaanu no owundi ogwa edinaari amakumi ataanu. 42 Woona wawiri waawulanga na amasendi agasuga aga wakamuoloola nago omusango ogwo. Kutio omwene amasendi yawarekera emisango egio. Naanu agati ya awawiri wano ooza okumugonzia ino okukira owundi?”*

43 Simioni yairania otino, “Mbona mbwe no omuntu owarekerwa omusango omunene oria.” Yesu yamuirania otino, “Owoorre kuwuene.” 44 Nikuemao, yagaluka awarra omukazi oyo nikwo alaga Simioni otino, “Owona omukazi ono? Nyizre mu enyumba yaao muno, ni ngokampa amanzi aga okuozia amagulu, ni iye anyoziizie amagulu na amaziga gaae kandi agaeeya ne emvwiri ziae.* 45 Ngokankeezia na amakeezio aga olugonzi, no omukazi ono amiire okuwa na anuuna amagulu gange na ampa owuti okuemera nyingiire ano. 46 Ngokambaka amavuta ku omutwe, ni iye amiire okuwaka amagulu gange na amavuta agawunya esaami. 47 Kutio, nkulaga mbwe amiire okurekerwa owuoni wuae owungi, aeniki angonziizie owungi. Omuntu orekeerwe amatono, oona olugonzi lwae lutono.” 48 Nikuemao Yesu yalaga omukazi oyo otino, “Amawi gaao orekeerwe.”* 49 Awageni wandi waatanika okungʼongʼoona agati yaawu ni wawoola watino, “Ono no omuntuki ono, orekera awantu namba amawi gaawu?” 50 Yesu yalaga omukazi oyo otino, “Okuganya kwao kukununuule mu amawi, gia no owuolu.”*

Awakazi awaagenda-genda ni Yesu

1 Lunyima, Yesu yagia na awita mu emigizi eminene ne ewitemo wiona na alanzia amangʼana amalootu aga *Owuami owua Katonda. Awalonzi waae ikumi ni wawiri waagia nae, 2 alala na awakazi wandi awaalamiwua okuema ku *ewikeeno na amalwire. Waawanga Maaria, omwala owa Eumagidaala owafumiziwuako ewikeeno musamvu, 3 Yoani muka Chuuza owawanga omukangasi owa enyumba eya *Eroode, Susaana, na awandi awangi. Awakazi wano waawanga ni wawariisia kandi ni wawarindre mala ne ewintu ewiawu aweene.*

Olugero olwa omurimi owagia okumwa emwo

(Math 13:1–9; Mari 4:1–9)

4 Owuire wundi awantu awangi, awaema mu emigizi egigawuke-gawuuke, waaikumia alala wagia ku Yesu kandi yawalaga mu olugero otino, 5 “Omurimi yagia okumwa emwo yaae. Ni yamwanga, emwo indi yagwa ku engira, etazwa-tazwa kandi enyonyi ezia ku omuyaga ziaza zigiria chwe. 6 Emwo indi yagwa ku olutare, kandi olwa yameranga, yakala aeniki amanzi gaawulanga mu ilowa. 7 Ne emwo indi yagwa mu amawua, kandi amawua ago gaakoma nayo gagisindigania mala ereka okukoma geeza. 8 Ne emwo indi yagwa mu ilowa ilootu kandi yakoma geeza elawa emere enyingi, entunda mia kilala okukira eyamwewua.”

Olwa yawoola amangʼana gano, yawasiagizia otino, “Omuntu ori na amatwi aga okuwurra, ka-awurre!”

Awalonzi awa Yesu wasanukuriirwe amangʼana agaiwisre

(Math 13:10–17; Mari 4:10–12)

9 Awalonzi waae waamuwuuzia ekia olugero olwo lulagana. 10 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Inywe ni inywe awaeerwe okumanya owueru owua ewintu ewiiwisre ewia Owuami owua Katonda. Ni ku awandi walagwa mu engero kugere,

“ ‘kukawa mbwe wawarra, ni watawona,

Ekia olugero olwa emwo eyamwewua lulagana

(Math 13:18–23; Mari 4:13–20)

11 “Kino nikio ekia olugero luno lulagana. Emwo na amangʼana aga Katonda. 12 Engira eya emwo yagwako eimeriire awantu awawurra amangʼana, ne *Ekikeeno kiiza kiawanyaga amangʼana ago okuema mu emioyo giawu, kugere wataganya nago kandi wanunulwe. 13 No olutare olwa emwo yagwako luimeriire awantu awa ni wawuriire amangʼana wagaingizia no owusangaavu.

(Mari 4:21–25)

16 “Awulao omuntu oka-ambia ekimuri kandi yakifunikira ne ekidida nakuwa yakiwisa mu enkuriri. Ni, akita ku emeesa kugere awantu awaingira omwae wawone owueru owuo.* 17 Aeniki kiwulao ekintu ekiiwisre ekitarifuma kiwoneke, lwona kiwulao ekintu ekiiwisre mu omwoyo ekitarimanyika, namba ekitarireetwa ku owueru.* 18 Kutio muwarre geeza ku amangʼana aga muwurra. Aeniki, omuntu okola geeza ne ekia aegeekwe nio orisongwa. No omuntu otakola geeza ne ekia aegeekwe aaza okunyagulwa namba ekitono ekia yaegekwa.”*

Ngʼinwawu Yesu ni waamwawu Yesu awa kuwuene

(Math 12:46–50; Mari 3:31–35)

19 Nikuemao ngʼinwawu Yesu ni waamwawu waae awekizia waaza ku iye, ni ngawakaesanga okumutuukako aeniki omurima ogwa awantu waawanga ni wamuikumreko. 20 Omuntu wundi yamulaga otino, “Ngʼinwao ni waamwinyu awekizia wari enze waagala okukuwona.” 21 Ni Yesu yawairania otino, “Awantu awawurra amangʼana aga Katonda kandi waagalonda, niwo ngʼinoifu ni waamwifu awekizia.”*

Yesu aorezia omuyaga na amasiira

(Math 8:23–27; Mari 4:35–41)

22 Owuire wulala, Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Tuambuke tugie engereka indi eya enyanza.” Kutio waaingira mu owuato wasiawala. 23 Ni waawungukanga, endoolo ziaira Yesu. Omuyaga omuzito gwatemuka mu enyanza kandi owuato wuatanika okuizula na amanzi. Kutio waawanga mu eminyako-nyaako eminene aeniki owuato wuagalanga okuniwa.

24 Awalonzi waae waagia wamulamusia ni wawoola watino, “Omwami, Omwami, tufwa amanzi!”

Yesu yaema kandi asikirra omuyaga na amasiira amakate-kaate ago kandi omuyaga ogwo gwaoreera kandi enyanza egwiriira ekitene.* 25 Nikuemao yawawuuzia otino, “Okuganya kwinyu kuri?”

Waawanga no owuti kandi waaluguula ni waiwuuzia aweene mbwe, “Ono no omuntuki ono, osikirra namba emiyaga na amasiira kandi gamuwurra?”*

Yesu alamiizie omuntu ori ne ewikeeno

(Math 8:28–34; Mari 5:1–20)

26 Waawunguka nawuno watuuka mu ekialo ekia Geraasi eri oluwega lundi olwa enyanza no oema Galiili. 27 Ni Yesu yafuma mu owuato ataza ku ekialo, omuntu ori ne ewikeeno owaemanga ku omugizi ogwa ao yamuaganra. Ku amiire amangi, omuntu ono yawanga na akiari okuiwoya enguwo nakuwa okumenya mu enyumba, ni yawanga na amenyere mu ewiwaga. 28 Olwa yawona Yesu, yarra wukalu kandi akuba amasigamo emberi waae, nikwo awoola no omwoyo oguri kungulu otino, “Onyagalakooki Yesu Omuzia owa Katonda omunene okukira? Nkuiyembere, otammala!”*

29 Okwo kwatuukra ni Yesu amiire okusiagizia ekikeeno ekiwiiwi ekio mbwe kifume kieme ku omuntu oyo. Kangi, ne ekikeeno ekio kiawanga ni kimuniinre, omuntu oyo yawutulanga eminyororo egia yasiwirwanga amakono na amagulu na ateerwe asi eya owurinzi. Kandi ekikeeno ekio kiamuiranga mu ekeewa aa yaweranga omwene. 30 Nikuemao Yesu yamuwuuzia otino, “Eriina riao naanu?” Yamuirania mbwe, “Leejio,” aeniki ewikeeno ewingi wiawanga ni wimumenyeremo. 31 Kandi wiaiyemba Yesu mbwe atawasikirra okuingira mu owuina owua olumbe. 32 Kuno kwatuukra no olwizo olwa enguruwe enyingi ziaaya ampi ao ku ekigiri. Kandi ewikeeno ewio wiaisasaama Yesu mbwe awiganyire wigie wi-ingire mu enguruwe ezio; kutio yawiganyira okukola otio. 33 Nikuemao, ewikeeno ewio wiafuma ku omuntu oyo wigia wi-ingira mu enguruwe ezio, kandi enguruwe ziona mu olwizo olwo ziagondoka ne ekibuusi zigia zigwa ku oluwanga, ziolomoka mu enyanza mala zifwa ziona.

34 Olwa awaayi awa enguruwe ezio waawona ekiaikola ekio, waarumuka wagia walaga awantu awa ku omugizi gwawu ni mu ekialo ekio. 35 Nikuemao awantu waafuma okugia okuwona ekintu ekiaikola ekio. Waatuuka ku Yesu kandi watuukra omuntu owa ewikeeno wiawanga ni wifumreko oyo na aikaale ansi mu amagulu aga Yesu, na aingiizie enguwo kandi omutwe gwae ni guri omulootu. Ekio kiagera owuti wuwa-amba ino. 36 Awantu awaawona ekintu kino waagia waalaga awantu kiomo omuntu owa ewikeeno wiawangako oyo yalamiziiwua. 37 Nikuemao, awantu woona awa mu ewitemo ewiri Geraasi waasawa Yesu mbwe awaemeko agie; aeniki owuti owungi wuawa-amba. Kutio Yesu yaingira mu owuato wasiawala ni wairana. 38 Omuntu owa ewikeeno wiawanga ni wifumreko oyo yaiyemba Yesu mbwe aganye agie nae. Ni Yesu yamulowera na amutuma otino, 39 “Irana engo, ogie owalage owulootu owua Katonda akukoriire.” Kutio, omuntu oyo yagia agenda-genda ku omugizi ogwo gwona na alaga awantu owulootu owua Yesu amukoriire.

Omwala owafwa aziuka, no omukazi omulwire owalama

(Math 9:18–26; Mari 5:21–43)

40 Olwa Yesu yairana, omurima ogwa awantu waamuaganra wamuingizia aeniki woona waamurindanga airane. 41 Omuntu wundi owaetwanga mbwe Jairo, owawanga omukangasi owa *esinagoogi, yaaza ku Yesu mala agwa mu amagulu gaae na amuiyemba mbwe wagie nae mu enyumba yaae, 42 aeniki omwala waae omulala engʼene owa emiaka ikumi ni iwiri yawanga omulwire ino ampi okufwa.

Ni Yesu yawanga ku engira na agia, omurima ogwa awantu awangi waamuisindiganiako embega ziona. 43 Yawangao omukazi wundi owa enda yawanga ne emiire okuwa ne esulula ku emiaka ikumi ni iwiri, na awulao omuntu owaesanga okumurera. 44 Yanyola agia nyamugongo ogwa Yesu a-amba enguwo yaae. Ku enyinga ezio, amasaai agaasululanga ago gaimerra kalala. 45 Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Ompambre naanu?” Olwa awantu woona waalowa mbwe ngawakamuambako, Petro yamulaga otino, “Omwami, omurima guno gwona gukuisunguuzie kandi gukuisindiganieko.” 46 Ni Yesu yawoola otino, “Omuntu ampambre, aeniki mpuriire amaani ni gafuma ni gaanyemako.”* 47 Olwa omukazi oyo yawona mbwe ngaesa okuiwisa areke okumanyika, yagia ku Yesu na adada kandi akuba amasigamo emberi waae. Nikuemao yawoola na awantu woona wawurra ekiagera na amuambako, kandi kiomo alamre mala ku enyinga ezio. 48 Nikuemao Yesu yamulaga otino, “Omwala wange, okuganya kwao kukulamiizie. Gia no owuolu.”*

49 Ni Yesu yawanga na akiagamba-gamba, omuntu yaema mu enyumba eya Jairo aaza amulaga otino, “Omwala waao amiire okufwa. Katio otanyaasia Omugerezi wusaasa.” 50 No olwa Yesu yawurra ekingʼana kino yalaga Jairo otino, “Otatia, ni wa-uwa no okuganaya, omwala waao aaza okuwa omulamu.” 51 Olwa yatuuka ku enyumba, ngakaganyira awantu wandi okuingra nae, ni mala Petro, Yowaana ni Yakoobo, alala ni swawu omwana ni ngʼinwawu omwana. 52 Awantu woona awaawanga ao waarranga omwala oyo ni wakuba enkweri. Yesu yawasarigizia na awalaga otino, “Mureke okurra, aeniki ngakafwa, na agona.” 53 Ni iwo waamusekera aeniki waawanga ni wamanyire mbwe amiire okufwa. 54 Ni yamuamba okukono amueta na awoola otino, “Omwana, ema.” 55 Omwoyo gwae gwairana kandi yaema enyinga ezio. Nikuemao Yesu yawoola mbwe wa-ee omwala oyo okuria arie. 56 Ekintu kino kia-amba eminwa egia awiiwuzi waae, ni Yesu yawasikirra mbwe watalaga omuntu-umuntu ekiaikola ekio.

Yesu aeere awantu awakirre elufu witaanu okuria

(Math 14:13–21; Mari 6:30–44; Yowa 6:1–13)

10 Olwa *awatumwa waairana, waalaga Yesu ewintu ewia waakola. Yawatoola aingira nawo mu owuato wawalama wagia ku omugizi ogwa Bethsaida okuwa eyo aweene.* 11 Olwa omurima ogwa awantu waagia wamanya mbwe wamiire okusiawala wagiire, waamulonda ni wawitra enze. Yesu yawaingizia atanika okugamba-gamba nawo ku Owuami owua Katonda, kandi alamia awaagalanga okulamiwua.

12 Iguulo ne enyanga yawanga ne emiire okugwamo, awalonzi waae ikumi ni wawiri waamuuzako wamulaga watino, “Laga omurima ogwa awantu wano wagie mu emigizi ne ewitemo ewiri ampi ano, wagie waagale okuria no owugono, aeniki asi aa turi ano emigizi giwulao.”

13 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Inywe aweene muwa-ee okuria warie.”

Waamuirania watino, “Turi mala ne emikaati itaanu ne emvwa iwiri ziengʼene. Kusi owoola mbwe tugie tugule okuria okukasuga awantu wano woona?” 14 Awantu awekisaaza wengʼene awaawanga ao waesanga okusuga elufu witaanu.

Yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Muwate waikale ansi mu ewifuwo ewia awantu amakumi ataanu-ataanu.” 15 Awalonzi awo waakola watio kandi omuntu ki omuntu yaikala ansi. 16 Yatoola emikaati itaanu ne emvwa iwiri ziria. Yaginga amiiso gaae ku igulu, airanizia Katonda otioo nikwo agigenyula agi-aa awalonzi waae kugere wagigawre awantu awo. 17 Woona waaria waiguta du, kandi awalonzi waae waakunza ewimega ewia ewiokuria ewiasigala mala wiizula ewidida ikumi ni wiwiri.*

(Math 16:13–20; Mari 8:27–30)

18 Nyanga ni Yesu yawanga na asawa na awalonzi waae ni wari aweene, yawawuuzia otino, “Awantu wawoola mbwe ni inze anu?”* 19 Waamuirania watino, “Awandi wawoola mbwe ori Yowaana Omubatiisi, na awandi mbwe ori Eliija, na awandi woona mbwe ori omulala ku awagambi awakulu oziukre.”* 20 Yawawuuzia kandi otino, “Ni inywe muwoola mbwe ni inze anu?” Petro yamuirania otino, “Iwue ni *Meesia oemere ku Katonda.”* 21 Ni Yesu yawagaania na awasikirra mbwe watalaga omuntu wundi ekingʼana ekio.*

Yesu agamba-gambre ku okufwa kwae

(Math 16:21–23; Mari 8:31–33)

22 Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae kandi otino, “*Omuzia owa Omuntu paka awone eminyako-nyaako mu engira enyingi, kandi aaza okulowua na *awagaaka awa ediini eya *Awayaudi, awakangasi awa *awoozia, alala na *awagerezi awa endagirra. Lwona aaza okuitwa, no owuire owua okusatu ariziuka.”*

Oagala okuwa omulonzi wa Yesu paka aganye okufumia owulamu wuae

(Math 16:24–28; Mari 8:34—9:1)

23 Nikuemao yalaga awaamulondanga woona otino, “Omuntu oagala okundonda, paka asooke ailowe iye omwene kandi atoole *omusalaaba gwae owuire ki owuire andonde.†* 24 Aeniki omuntu-umuntu oagala okununula owulamu wuae iye omwene, aaza okuwurigiza. No omuntu origiize owulamu wuae ku amangʼana gange, iye aaza okutuukra owulamu.* 25 No owulootuuki owua omuntu akawona na ari no owunyazi owua ku ekialo kiona, na ateesie owulamu wuae? 26 Aeniki omuntu osuuka ni inze kandi na amangʼana gange, Omuzia owa Omuntu oona arisuuka nae olwa ariiza mu owunene wuae, no owua Swae, kandi no owua *enyankoi aweeru.* 27 Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe awandi ku awantu awari ano ngawarifwa ni wakiari okuwona Owuami owua Katonda.”

Embonekano eya Yesu egaluuke enzeru zerre

(Math 17:1–8; Mari 9:2–8)

28 Na amiire munaane gamiire okuwita okuemera yawoola ewintu wino, yatoola Petro, Yowaana ni Yakoobo aniina nawo ku ekigiri okugia okusawa. 29 Ni yawanga na asawa, embonekano eya owueni wuae wuagaluka, kandi enguwo ziae ziawa enzeru zerre ezingʼena-ngʼena.* 30 Mu enyinga ezio, awantu wawiri, Muusa ne Eliija, 31 waawafumira ao ni wari no owunene owua ku igulu, ni wagamba-gamba ni Yesu. Waawoolanga kiomo Yesu yagianga okutuusia okuagala okwa Katonda, ku okufwa okwa yagianga okufwa Yerusaleemu.* 32 Petro na awiina waae waawanga ni wagona, no olwa waazamuka, waawona owunene owua Yesu na awantu awawiri awaawanga ni waimeriire ao nae awo waawanga nawuo.* 33 Olwa awantu wano waareka Yesu ni wagia, Petro yalaga Yesu otino, “Omugerezi, kuri kulootu mbwe turi ano. Reka tuomboke ewigiti wisatu, ekilala kiwe ekiao, ekindi ekia Muusa ne ekindi ekia Eliija.” Ni ngakamanya ekia yawoolanga.

34 Ni yawanga na akiawoola amangʼana gano, ire riaza riwasanikizia, kandi owuti wuawa-amba olwa waingira mu ire erio. 35 Omwoyo gwaema mu ire erio ni guwoola gutino, “Ono no Omuzia wange, Omulowole.

Yesu alamiizie omuzia owawanga ne ekikeeno

(Math 17:14–18; Mari 9:14–27)

37 Owuire owualondako, ni waamala okuiika waema ku ekigiri, omurima ogwa awantu awangi waamuagaana. 38 Nikuemao omuntu owawanga mu omurima ogwa awantu awo, yaeterezia wukalu otino, “Omugerezi, nkuiyembere mbwe okawariireko omuzia wange, aeniki nio omwana wange omulala engʼene. 39 Ekikeeno kimuamba mala yarra wukalu nikwo kimugwisia ansi na aitaza-taza ifulo ni rimufumako mu omunwa. Kimuvulunga uwiiwi kandi ngakimureka yawuluuka. 40 Nyiiyembre awalonzi waao mbwe wakifumie, no okukifumia kuwakirre.” 41 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Oo inywe ikula erioneeke kandi eriwula no okuganya rino! Nyiza okuwa ni inywe ni nsikiizie omwoyo ku amangʼana giinyu kutuuka ri? Reeta omuzia waao oyo ano.” 42 No omuzia oyo yaazanga ampi nae, ekikeeno ekio kiamugwisia ansi kandi, atanika okuitaza-taza. Ni Yesu yasiagizia ekikeeno ekiwiiwi ekio kandi alamia omuzia oyo, nikwo amuirania ku swae. 43 Kandi awantu woona waaluguula owunene owua Katonda.

Yesu agamba-gambre kandi ku okufwa kwae

(Math 17:22–23; Mari 9:30–32)

Na awantu woona waaluguulanga ewintu wiona ewia Yesu yakolanga, yalaga awalonzi waae otino, 44 “Mutegerezie ewintu wino geeza, aeniki Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okuguziwua, ateewue mu amakono aga awantu.” 45 Ni ngawakawurra ekia yawalaganga ekio, lwona gaawaiwisra kugera wareka okumanya isina riago. Ni waatia okumuwuuzia ekia ekingʼana ekio kilagana.**

Omunene okukira awandi mu Owuami owua Katonda

(Math 18:1–5; Mari 9:33–37)

46 Awalonzi waatanika okuikululana mu amangʼana ni wagala okumanya omunene okukira awandi, agati yaawu. 47 No olwa Yesu yamanya ekia emioyo giawu giaingirizianga ekio, yatoola omwana omuto amuimerezia ampi nae. 48 Nikuemao yawalaga otino, “Omuntu-umuntu oingiizie omwana omuto ki ono, ku eriina riange, anyingiizie inze. No omuntu onyingiizie, aingiizie kugia Katonda owantuma. Aeniki omuntu ori omutono ino agati iinyu, nio omuntu omunene okukira awandi woona.”**

Omuntu otawalwania ari oluwega lwinyu

(Mari 9:38–40)

49 Yowaana yamulaga otino, “Omugerezi, tuwuine omuntu wundi na afumia ewikeeno ku eriina riao, ni ifwe tumugaaniizie, aeniki iye ngakawanga omulala ku ifwe.” 50 Ni Yesu yamuirania otino, “Yawa, mutaaza mwamuemerezia okukola otio, aeniki omuntu-umuntu otawalwania ari oluwega lwinyu.”*

Awasamaria walowere okuingizia Yesu

51 Ne enyinga ezia Yesu okugia ku igulu ziatuuka ampi, yakenga mu omwoyo gwae okufuma okugia Yerusaleemu.* 52 Kutio, yatuma awantu wakangate emberi okugia okuta ewintu alala okuikagra okuuza kwae. Awantu awo waagia waingira ku omugizi omulala ogwa *Awasamaria,* 53 na Awasamaria awo ngawakawaingizia aeniki waawurra mbwe Yesu yagianga Yerusaleemu.‡ 54 Olwa awalonzi wawiri, Yowaana ni Yakoobo, waawona watio waawuuzia Yesu watino, “Omwami, ngoreka tuete omurro gueme ku igulu guuze guwasambe wawue chwe?”§* 55 Ni Yesu yagaluka awawarra kandi awagaania wukalu.* 56 Nikuemao, waafuma wagia ku omugizi gundi.

Ekia paka okole no oagala okulonda Yesu

(Math 8:19–22)

57 Ni waagenda-gendanga ku engira ni wagia, omuntu wundi yamulaga otino, “Nyiza okukulonda asi-uasi aa ogia.” 58 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Endenya ziri na amiina ziago, kandi enyonyi ziri ne entalala. No Omuzia owa Omuntu, iye awula ni aa yakaingizia omutwe.” 59 Nikuemao yalaga owundi otino, “Ndonde.” No omuntu oyo yairania otino, “Omwami, owusookere reka nsooke ngie nyawire soifu.” 60 Ni Yesu yamulaga otino, “Reka awafu waawire awafu awiina waawu. Ni ku iwue, gia olanzie Owuami owua Katonda.”* 61 Kandi owundi oona yamulaga otino, “Omwami, nyiza okukulonda, ni sooka oreke ngie nkubre awange ekurinde.” 62 Ni Yesu yamuiraia otino, “Omuntu oambre embago eya engʼombe erimira ni kandi akiawarra enyima aa aema, ngasugre no Owuami owua Katonda.”*

Kuweeko mbwe amankono agaakolwa agati iinyu gaakolwa mu emigizi egia Taaya ni Sidooni, kangato awaawangamo waagaluka kale, ni waingiizie enguwo ezikorre amakurugunya kandi ni wafukre igoke mu emiwiri giawu. 14 Kuriweera emigizi egia Taaya ni Sidooni geeza-geezako owuire owua Katonda arikengra awantu ekiina, okukira kiomo kuriwaweera inywe!* 15 Kusi inywe awantu awa Kapernaumu, muingirizia mbwe muuza okugingwa kungulu ku igulu?

21 Mu enyinga yazane eyo, Yesu na aizuule no owusangaavu owua *Omwoyo Omweru yawoola otino, “Nkutondowoole Soifu Katonda, Omwami owa igulu ne ekialo, aeniki owisiire awaganga na awasomi ewintu wino, no owisasuriire awaana awato. Ee Soifu, aeniki kino nikio ekilootu ekia wasangaala nakio okukola.*

(Math 6:9–13; 7:7–11)

1 Owuire wulala, Yesu yawanga na asawa asi andi. Olwa yamala okusawa, omulala ku awalonzi waae yamulaga otino, “Omwami, tugerere okusawa kiomo Yowaana oona yagerera awalonzi waae.”*

2 Kutio, Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ni musawa, muwoole mutino:

Awantu waingirizia mbwe Yesu akola na amaani aga Belzebuuli

14 Yesu yawanga na afumia ekikeeno ku omuntu omurimba otagamba-gamba. Olwa ekikeeno ekio kiamala okufuma kigia, omuntu omurimba oyo yagamba-gamba kandi awantu awaawanga ao waaluguula ino. 15 Na awandi ku iwo waawoola watino, “Omuntu ono afumia *ewikeeno na amaani aga Beelzebuuli, omukangasi owa ewikeeno.”** 16 Na awandi awaagalanga okumugeezaania, waamusawa mbwe awalageko ekilago ekiemere ku igulu.*

28 Ni Yesu yamuirania otino, “Yaaya, awantu awasereekwe na awantu awawurra amangʼana aga Katonda kandi waakola nago.”*

Awataganyire waaza okukirwa ne ekiina

29 No omurima ogwa awantu gwaisonganga okuwa omunene, Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ikula eria awantu awawiiwi kandi awawula no okuganya, waagala mbwe wakorrwe ekilago. Ni kiwulao ekilago ekia waaza okueewua ekigawuuke ne ekilago ekia Yoona. 30 Mala kiomo Yoona yawa ekilago ku awantu awa Nineeve, nintio lwona *Omuzia owa Omuntu ariwa ekilago ku awantu awataganyire wano.** 31 Omwami owekikazi owa ekialo ekiri Emulambo yoona ari-imerra mu ekiina ni ikula eria nyingeeno rino, kandi yoona arigera ekiina kiwakire. Ee, aeniki yaema ale ino agia okuwurra amangʼana aga Sulumaani, ni wano walowere okuwurra omuntu okirre Sulumaani ale ori ano.* 32 Awantu awa Nineeve wari-imerra mu ekiina na awantu awa ikula rino kandi warigera ekiina kiwakire. Ee, aeniki iwo waagaluka wareka amawi gaawu olwa Yoona yawalanzizia amangʼana aga Katonda, ni wano walowere amangʼana aga omuntu okirre Yoona ale, ori ano.*

Yesu nio ngʼina owueru

(Math 5:15; Mari 4:21)

33 “Awulao omuntu oka-ambia ekimuri kandi yakita mu enkuriri nakuwa yakifunikira ne ekidida. Na akita ku emeesa, kugere awantu awaingira omwae wawone owueru.*

Muingizie owueru owuema ku Yesu

(Math 6:22–23)

34 “Eriiso riao nirio ekimuri ekia omuwiri gwao. Ne eriiso riao riri ilootu, omuwiri gwao gwona guuza okuwa no owueru owungi. Ni ni ritari ilootu, omuwiri gwao gwona guwa ne ekierema ekingi.* 35 Warra kuwuene owone mbwe owueru owua ori nawuo ngawuri ekierema yaaya.* 36 Kutio, no owulamu wuao wuona wuri no owueru, kandi awulao akorre ekierema, wuuza okuwa no owueru owungi mala ki omuriikwe ne ekimuri.”

Yesu asiagizia awakangasi awa ediini eya Awayaudi

(Math 23:1–36; Mari 12:38–40)

37 Olwa Yesu yamala okugamba-gamba, *Omufarisaayo wundi yamueta okuria naye. Kutio yaingira kandi waikala okuria alala nae.* 38 No Omufarisaayo oyo yaluguula ino olwa yawona Yesu na aria na ataisaawre.

39 Omwami yamulaga otino, “Inywe Awafarisaayo mueruyia mala enze eya ewisanda ne endaawo ziinyu geeza ino, ni munsi mwazio ziizuule mala no owusakuzi ne enkola embiiwi.* 40 Inywe awamaya wano! Ngamumanyire mbwe owalonga enze nio omulala owalonga munsi mwona? 41 Muesaanie ewintu wiinyu ku awataka ni kuemera mu emioyo giinyu egia munsi, kandi ewintu wiona wiiza okuwaweera ewieru.*

42 “Kuriwaweera uwiiwi inywe Awafarisaayo, aeniki kukawa mbwe mufumia *endala ku ikumi ku amandhaari agaema mu emisiri giinyu kiomo pilu-piilu, amatere alala na amavwa gandi amalulu, ni murekere owuigolovu no olugonzi olwa Katonda. Kulootu ni mulondokaane ne *ensikirra ziona, aa mutagawuule ezia murinda, ne ezia mutarinda.*

43 “Kuriwaweera uwiiwi, inywe Awafarisaayo, aeniki mugonziizie okuikala ku entewe endootu-ndootu mu amasinagoogi, na amakeezio aga mukeeziwua nago mu ewiiyia.*

44 “Kuriwaweera uwiiwi inywe, aeniki mufwanana ne ewiwaga ewitawonekana, kandi awantu wawigenda-gendako ni watamanyire ewiri munsi.”

45 Omulala ku awantu awaasomera endagirra oria yamuirania otino, “Omugerezi, no owoola ewintu wino, ofwana mbwe ifwe twona otunyegere.” 46 Ni Yesu yawalaga otino, “Kuriwaweera uwiiwi inywe awaasomera endagirra mwona, aeniki mutwika awandi emisigo emizito okuginga, ni inywe aweene ngamuziirako namba ekiala ekilala okuziginga.* 47 Kuriwaweera uwiiwi inywe, aeniki muombokra *awagambi awa Katonda, awa waasoinyu waaita, ewiwaga. 48 Kutio, mulagana aweene mbwe muri awawoni kandi muganyire ne enkola ezia waasoinyu. Iwo waawaita, ni inywe eno muomboka ewiwaga wiawu.* 49 Ku ingʼana rino, Katonda yawoola mu amaganga gaae otino, ‘Nyiza okuwatumra awagambi na *awatumwa, kandi awandi ku iwo waaza okuitwa, na awandi waaza okunyaasiwua owululu.’ 50 Kutio, amasaai aga awagambi awamiire okuitwa, okuemera mu owutanikro owua ekialo, gaaza okuwa ku emitwe egia awantu awa ikula rino, 51 okutanikra ku amasaai aga Abeeli kutuuka ku aga Zakaria, owaitwa agati ya *isiga eria omusango ne *ekaalu eya Katonda. Ee, amasaai gaawu gariwa ku emitwe egia awantu awa ikula rino.*

52 “Kuriwaweera uwiiwi inywe awaasomera endagirra, aeniki mumiire okutoola ekifunguo ekia enyumba eya amaganga, mugia nakio. Inywe aweene ngamuingira yawa, ni lwona muigariire awandi awaagala okuingira wataingirra.”*

53 Olwa Yesu yaema ao, Awafarisaayo na *Awagerezi awa endagirra waatanika okulowa amangʼana gaae wukalu kandi ni wamuwuuzia embuuzia ku ewintu ewingi, 54 ni wamutega kugere wamuambe ku ekintu ekia akawoola omwene.*

Yesu asiagizia awalonzi ku okuisemerezia

(Math 10:26–27)

1 Mu enyinga ezio, na awantu awangi owuluku waamala okuikumia alala, Yesu yasooka agamba-gamba na awalonzi waae na awalaga otino, “Muirinde ku omumera ogwa *Awafarisaayo, okuri okuisemerezia kwawu.* 2 Kiwulao ekintu ekisanikiirwe ekitaaza okusanukulwa, namba ekiwisrwe ekitaaza okufuma enze kiamanywa.* 3 Kutio, ekia owoorre mu ekierema kiiza okuwurrwa omuwasu ku owueru, ne ekia omonyereezie omuntu mu enyumba eya munsi kiiza okulanziwua ku olusala kungulu.*

Mute okuganya kwinyu ku Katonda

(Math 10:28–31)

4 “Awiiko wange, mbalaga mbwe mutaaza mwatia awantu awaita mala omuwiri gwengʼene, ni nikuemao ngawaesa okukola ekintu kindi okuwita ao. 5 Ni nyagala okuwalaga omuntu owa musugaane mutie: Mutie mala Katonda owa na amiire okuita omuwiri, ari na amaani aga okugurigiza mu omurro ogutazima. Kuwuene mbalaga mbwe mumutie!* 6 Kane ewiyundigiri witaanu, ngawigulwa ne eela iwiri ziengʼene? Ni Katonda ngalawira namba endala yawio. 7 Katonda amanyire namba embala eya emvwiri ezia muri nazio ku omutwe. Kutio mutatia, aeniki Katonda awatoorre owuzito okukira ewiyundigiri.*

Okusuuka ni Yesu kulowerwe

(Math 10:32–33; 12:32; 10:19–20)

8 “Mbalaga mbwe omuntu-umuntu olagana emberi wa awantu mbwe ari owange, *Omuzia owa Omuntu oona arimulagana emberi wa *enyankoi awa Katonda. 9 No omuntu-umuntu ondowa emberi wa awantu, yoona arilowua emberi wa enyankoi awa Katonda.* 10 Omuntu ogamba-gamba owuwiiwi ku Omuzia owa Omuntu arirekerwa amawi gaae. No omuntu onyega *Omwoyo Omweru, iye ngarirekerwa amawi gaae.*

11 “Ni wawairre mu ewiina emberi wa awaami na *awagaaka awa amasinagoogi, na awari no owukire, mutainyaasia okuingirizia ekia mugia okuirania ni kiomo mugia okuirania, nakuwa ekia mugia okuwoola 12 aeniki Omwoyo Omweru aaza okukugerera ekia osugaane owoole enyinga ezio.”*

Olugero olwa omunyazi omumaya

13 Omuntu wundi mu omurima ogwa awantu yamulaga otino, “Omugerezi, laga wamwifu angawre omugawo gwange ku ewintu ewia soifu yaturekiire.” 14 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Iwue, naanu onteere omukengi owa ekiina nakuwa omugayi agati iinyu?” 15 Nikuemao yawalaga otino, “Muwe amankaga kandi muirinde mutawa ne endandiire mu engira-ungira, aeniki owulamu owua omuntu ngawuema ku owunyazi owua ari nawuo.”* 16 Kandi yawalaga olugero luno, “Omusiri ogwa omunyazi wundi gwalawia emere endootu. 17 Nikuemao, yaingirizia omwene otino, ‘Katio nkoleki? Mbula ne ewiagi ewisugre ewia nkawiikamo emere yange.’

18 “Nikuemao yawoola otino, ‘Nintino nyiza okukola. Nyiza okutagula ewiagi wiange kandi nduke ewindi ewinene. Ni miire, nyiza okuwiika omwo emere alala ne ewintu wiange. 19 Kandi ndiriwoola mu omwoyo gwange mbwe, “Ori ne ewintu ewilootu ewingi ewiiza okutoola emiaka emingi. Toola owulamu wuwuuwu, no oria, no onywa, kandi no owa ne ekisangaalo!” ’

20 “Ni Katonda yamulaga otino, ‘Omusiru ono! Reero-ureero luno, ooza okunyagwa owulamu wuao. Katio naanu ooza okutoola ewintu ewia omiire okuiwiikra ewio?’*

21 “Nintio kuuza okuwa no omuntu oiwiikra ewintu ewingi, ni ngari omunyazi ku Katonda.”*

Otareka okuwa no okuganya

(Math 6:25–34, 19–21)

22 Nikuemao Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Kutio mbalaga mbwe emioyo giinyu gitainyaasizia owulamu wuinyu, ku ekia muuza okuria, namba ku emiwiri giinyu, ku ekia muuza okuiwoya. 23 Aeniki owulamu wukirre okuria-ukuria kandi omuwiri gukirre enguwo-unguwo. 24 Ingiriziako ku enyonyi: Ngazikomera lwona ngazigesa, kandi ziwula na amayumba aga owuwiikro namba ewiagi; ni kukawa kutio Katonda aziriisia.

Muwe amankaga enyinga ziona

(Math 24:45–51)

35 Yesu kandi yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Muwe amankaga ni muiwooye enguwo ezia emirimo kandi ewimuri wiinyu wieme, 36 kiomo awakozi awarindirra omwami waawu okuema mu omugomo ogwa enserezi, kugere na aazre akongʼoote ekiriango, wamuigurreo kalala.** 37 Kuriweera owulootu awakozi awa emirimo awa omukangasi waawu arituukra ni wari amiiso enyinga ezia ariizrako. Mbalaga mbwe omukangasi oyo ari-iwoya enguwo ezia emirimo atanike okuwakorra. Ariwiikazia ku emeesa kandi awiiwurre okuria warie. 38 Kuriwaweera owulootu awakozi awa omukangasi waawu aaza okutuukra ni wamurindirra, kukawa mbwe aazre owuire agati nakuwa kungoko eya kuluweri. 39 Ni musugaane mumanye mbwe kuweeko mbwe omwene enyumba amanyire mbwe ne enyingaaki ezia owuire ezia omwiwi aaza okuuzrako, ngakarekere omwiwi avune aingire mu enyumba yaae. 40 Inywe mwona musugaane muwe amiiso, aeniki Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okuirana enyinga ezia mutamanyire.”*

41 Ni Petro yamuwuuzia otino, “Omwami olugero luno, otulaga ifwe nakuwa olaga awantu awari ano woona?” 42 Omwami yamuirania otino, “Owemirimo omuganga kandi oirindre naanu katio? Owemirimo owa omukangasi waae ateere awemirimo woona awa ku omugizi gwae mu amakono gaae, kugere awa-ee okuria mu enyinga ezisugre. 43 Kulootu omukangasi owa owemirimo oyo na airaane amutuukre na akola otio. 44 Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe aaza okumuteera ewintu wiae wiona mu amakono, arinde.* 45 Ni kuweeko mbwe owemirimo oyo awoorre mu omwoyo gwae mbwe, ‘Mfwaki? Omukangasi akiaza okuwa enze ku amiire amangi,’ nikuemao atanike okukuba awemirimo awekisaaza na awekikazi, kandi aingire mu okuria no okunywa kandi no okudungʼa. 46 Omukangasi owa owemirimo oyo aaza okuuza owuire owua ataingirizia, kandi enyinga ezia atamanyire. Nikuemao arimukenga-kenga kandi amute asi awiiwi alala na awantu awatarindre endagano.* 47 Owemirimo omanyire geeza okuagala okwa omukangasi waae ni ngaitegre okukola emirimo egio lwona ngakola okuagala okwa omukangasi oyo, aaza okukubwa ewifunzi ewingi.* 48 No owemirimo wundi okola ewintu ewisugaane no okuswawukwa na atamanyire, iye aaza okukubwa ewifunzi ewitono. Ku awamiire okueewua emirimo emingi, waaza okuagalwako amangi; kandi omuntu oeerwe emirimo egia okuimerra ewintu ewingi, aaza okuagalwako ewingi.

Okutawurizania ne engawuzi

(Math 10:34–36)

49 “Nyizre okureeta omurro ku ekialo, kandi nkagonziizie mbwe guwe ni gumiire okuambiwua. 50 Ni ndi no *owubatiiso owua eminyako-nyaako emilulu owua paka wunyiikorre, kandi ndi no omwoyo oguinyaasia nawuno wutuuke wuwite.*

51 “Kusi muingirizia mbwe okuuza kwange kwazanga okureeta owuolu ku ekialo? Yawa, mbalaga mbwe kwareetre engawuzi. 52 Okuemerra enyinga zino, awantu wataanu awa mu enyumba endala, waaza okugawukana, wasatu ku wawiri kandi wawiri ku wasatu. 53 Engawuzi ziiza okuwaao agati ya swawu omuntu no omuzia waae, kandi omuzia ni swae; ngʼina no omwala waae kandi omwala ni ngʼinwae; ngʼinaziala no omukamwana waae, kandi omukamwana ni ngʼinaziala waae.”**

Awakangasi awa Awayaudi wagala wakorrwe amankono

(Math 16:2–3; Mari 8:11–13)

54 Yalaga omurima ogwa awantu otino, “Ni muwuine ire ni rirumuka okuema ewugwanyanga muwoola kalala mbwe, ‘Emvula egia okukuba,’ kandi kwaikola kutio. 55 Ni, no omuyaga oguema ewufumanyanga guwuuta, muwoola mbwe, ‘Iwasu ilulu riiza okuwaako,’ kandi kwaikola kutio. 56 Inywe awaisemerezia wano! Mumanyire kiomo owuire wuuza okufwanana mala ku okusoma embonekano eya ekialo ni igulu kwengʼene. Ne ekigera ni mutamanyire okusoma ewiikola enyinga zino niki?

Muirane mu empurizanio ni Katonda

(Math 5:25–26)

57 “Ni katio, ekiwalowera inywe aweene okumanyirizia ekilootu ekisugaane niki? 58 No ogia no omuntu okuingiriire emberi wa omukengi owa ekiina, kola wukalu owurizanie nae ni mukiari ku engira, aeniki wusa-wusa, aaza okuira ku omukengi owa ekiina.

Galuka oreke owuoni owe omulamu

1 Awantu awaawanga ao mu enyinga ezio, waalaga Yesu ku okufwa okwa Awagaliili wandi awa Pilaato yaita ni wakola emisango. 2 Yesu iye yawairania otino, “Muingirizia mbwe Awagaliili wano waawurra owululu otio aeniki waawanga awooni okukira Awagaliili wandi? 3 Ngʼanintio yawa! Ni, mbalaga mbwe, ni mutagaluuke mureke amawi giinyu, mwona muuza okufwa muwue chwe.* 4 Nakuwa awantu ikumi ni munaane waria awaafwa olwa enyumba endiire okugia kungulu, yawagwako Siloamu; muingirizia mbwe waawanga awawiiwi ino okukira awaawanga ni wamenyere Yerusaleemu? 5 Ngʼanintio yawa! Ni Mbalaga mbwe inywe mwona ni mutagaluuke mureke amawi giinyu, mwona muuza okufwa mwena muwue chwe.”

Awakangasi awataamia ensaafu

6 Nikuemao Yesu yawalaga olugero luno: “Omuntu wundi yawanga no omuti oguetwa mbwe omutiini * ogwawanga ni gusimbrwe mu omusiri gwae ogwa *omuzabiibu. Owuire wulala yagugiako okunoga ensaafu ziagwo, ni ngakagutuukrako ensaafu.* 7 Kutio yalaga omuntu owawanga na arinda omusiri ogwo otino, ‘Ku emiaka isatu giona miire okuwa ni nyiza okuagala ensaafu ku omuti guno ni nkiari okutuukra namba endala. Guteme guemeo! Guona ilowa wusa!’

8 “Yamuirania otino, ‘Omukangasi, gureke ku omwaka guno gwengʼene, kandi nyiza okugurimirra ilowa nikwo ngufukre emborra. 9 Ni guamre ensaafu kukawa okulootu; ni, ni gutaamre nikwo oguteme.’ ”*

Omukangasi owa Awayaudi alwania Yesu

10 Owuire owua *Sabato Yesu yawanga na agerera mu endala ku amasinagoogi, 11 kandi omukazi wundi yawanga ao owawanga ne ekikeeno kiremiizie ku emiaka ikumi ni munaane. Yawanga na aikumbre aa ngakaesanga okuimerra owuigoloole. 12 Olwa Yesu yamuwona yamueta agia emberi kandi amulaga otino, “Mukaziiwue, osiwuulwe ku owulwire wuao.” 13 Nikuemao, yamutaako okukono, kandi aigolola kalala, atanika okutondowola Katonda.

14 Omukangasi owa *esinagoogi yakunyaazia owueni aeniki Yesu yalamia omuntu olwa Sabato, kandi yawoola otino, “Gario amiire mukaaga aga okukola emirimo, muuze amiire ago mulamiwue ni ngʼano olwa Sabato.”* 15 Omwami yamuirania otino, “Inywe awantu awaisemerezia wano! Mwona ngamusiwula engʼombe nakuwa entikiri ziinyu okuema mu amagaari olwa Sabato okugia okuzinywesia? 16 Ni katio omukazi ono, omwana owa Abraamu owa *Ekikeeno kimiire okuta mu owusiwe ku emiaka ikumi ni munaane giona, owuwi wuriai na asiwuulwe ku owusiwe wuno owuire owua Sabato?”** 17 Olwa yawoola otio, awataamuagalanga woona waaiguunya emioyo. Na awantu wandi iwo waaomereziwua ne ewintu ewikate-kaate ewia yakolanga.*

Olugero olwa emwo entono eya karadaali no olwa omumera

(Math 13:31–33; Mari 4:30–32)

18 Nikuemao Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Kane *Owuami owua Katonda wufwanana wutie? Ekia nkawugeraania nawuo niki? 19 Wufwanana ne emwo entono eya karadaali eya omuntu yatoola akomera mu omusiri gwae. Yakoma ewa omuti omunene, kandi enyonyi ezia ku emiyaga ziaza ziomboka ewitalala ku ensagia ziagwo.”*

20 Yawalaga kandi otino, “Ekia nyakageraania no Owuami owua Katonda niki? 21 Owuami owua Katonda wuesa okufwananiwua no amamera amatoono aga omukazi atoola yafuka ku owusie wungi yaduwania mala amamera gaazimbia owusie owuo wuona.”

Ekiriango ekinyigu eki-ingira ku igulu

22 Yesu yagenda-genda mu emigizi ni mu ewitemo, na agerera awantu na awariire Yerusaleemu.* 23 Omuntu wundi yamuwuuzia otino, “Omwami kane awantu awatoono wengʼene niwo awaaza okununulwa?”

Yesu yairania otino, 24 “Mukole wukalu muingirre ekiriango ekinyigu, aeniki mbalaga mbwe awangi wariagala okuingra ni ngawari-ingra yawa.* 25 No omwene enyumba amiire okuimerra aigaaleo ekiriango, muri-imerra enze ni mukongʼoota ekiriango kandi ni muisasaama otino, ‘Omukangasi, tuigurreo ekiriango.’ Ni iye ariwairania otino, ‘Ngʼamanyire aa muema.’* 26 Nikuemao murimulaga mutino, ‘Ngatuaria ni iwue kandi wagereranga ku engira ezia emigizi giifu?’ 27 Ni iye ariwagaania otino, ‘Ngʼamanyire aa muemere. Munyemeko ampi, inywe awa enkola ezia owuoni wano!’* 28 Ansi ao murirra kandi murisienenia amiino olwa muriwona Abraamu, Isaaka ni Yakoobo na *awagambi woona ni wari mu Owuami owua Katonda, ni inywe aweene muluumwa enze. 29 Awantu wariemera ewufumanyanga ne ewugwanyanga, kandi embo ne emulambo, kandi waritoola iwaga riawu mu omugomo mu Owuami owua Katonda. 30 Kuwuene, awandi awari enyima warikangata, kandi awandi awakangaate wari-irana enyima.”*

Yesu arra omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu

(Math 23:37–39)

31 Mu enyinga ezio *Awafarisaayo wandi waaza ku Yesu wamulaga watino, “Ema asi ano ogie a-andi aeniki *Eroode aagala okukuita.” 32 Yawairania otino, “Mugie mulage endenya eyo mbwe ‘Nyiza okufumia *ewikeeno kandi ndamie awalwire reero ne enkio, kandi owuire owua okusatu nyiza okutuusia okuagala kwange.’ 33 Ni kigwe kiole, nyiza okugia emberi no olugendo lwange reero, enkio, ni izuuzi, aeniki awulao omugambi otafwira enze eya omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu!

34 “Oo inywe awantu awa Yerusaleemu! Oo inywe awantu awaita awagambi awa Katonda, kandi awakuba awamutumrweko na amawaale. Miire okuwa ni nyagala okuwakumia kiomo engoko ekumia winyuunyu wiayo mu embaya ziayo, ni mwalowere. 35 Muwoneko, enyumba iinyu ezirrwe. Mbalaga mbwe ngʼamuuza okumbona inze, nawuno olwa muriwoola mbwe, ‘Omuntu ooza ku eriina eria *Omwami Katonda, asereekwe.’† ”*

Awafarisaayo walwania Yesu

1 Owuire wulala owua *Sabato, Yesu yagia owugeni mu enyumba eya omukangasi owa *Awafarisaayo okuria. Awafarisaayo awo waamuwarranga kugere watuukre ekia wakamuambra.* 2 Omuntu yawanga emberi waae ao owalwalanga owulwire owuzimbia amagulu na amakono. 3 Yesu yawuuzia Awafarisaayo na awaasomera *ensikirra otino, “Mberi ensikirra etuganyiire okulamia omulwire nyanga olwa Sabato, nakuwa yaaya?” 4 Ni, wasarigira kiri. Yesu yata okukono kwae ku omuntu oyo, amulamia kandi amureka agia.

5 Nikuemao yawawuuzia otino, “Arioko omuntu ku inywe owa ne engʼombe yaae nakuwa omwana waae agwire mu owuina olwa Sabato, akareka okumufumiamo ku enyinga ezio?”* 6 Na Awafarisaayo waawula ne ekia wakawoola.*

Okuiisia ansi

15 Olwa omulala ku awaawanga ku emeesa ao yawurra amangʼana ago, yalaga Yesu otino, “Omuntu ooza okuria mu owugeni owua *Owuami owua Katonda asereekwe.”* 16 Yesu yamuirania no olugero otino, “Omuntu wundi yakola owugeni owukaate kandi yaeta awageni awangi. 17 Ne enyinga ezia owugeni ziatuuka, yatuma owemirimo waae agie alage awaaetwa otino, ‘Muuze, aeniki ewintu wiona wimiire okuwa ansi.’ 18 Na awantu awo woona waatanika okuwoola ewikagera wareke okuuza mu owugeni owuo.

Okuwa omulonzi owa Yesu

(Math 10:37–38; 5:13; Mari 9:50)

25 Omurima omunene gwagenda-gendanga ni Yesu, kandi Yesu yagaluka awawarra na awalaga otino: 26 “No omuntu anyizreko, na akiagonziizie swae namba ngʼinwae, mukaae na awaana waae, ni waamwawu waae namba owulamu wuae omwene okukira kiomo angonziizie inze, omuntu oyo ngaesa okuwa omulonzi wange.* 27 Kandi omuntu otagingre *omusalaaba gwae andonde* ngaesa okuwa omulonzi wange.”*

28 Yesu yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “Tuwoole mbwe omulala ku inywe aagala okuomboka enyumba eya egoroofa. Ngasooka yaikala ansi yakola embala eya ewintu ewia enyumba eyo eeza okutoola, kugere awone na ari na amasendi agasugre okugimaariizia? 29 Aeniki, na aombooke atuuke ku owulusa, na akirwe okumaariizia enyumba eyo, awantu woona awaaza okugiwona waaza okumusekera 30 ni wawoola watino, ‘Omuntu ono yatanika okuomboka, no okumaariizia enyumba kumukirre.’

Olugero olwa omuzia owateeka

11 Yesu yagia emberi okuwalaga otino, “Yawangao omuntu owawanga na awazia awawiri.* 12 Omuzia omutono yalaga swae otino, ‘Soifu, mpe omugawo ogwa oluwega lwange ku ewintu wiao.’ Kutio, swawu yawagawa ewintu wiae agati yaawu.

13 “Na amiire gakiari okuwita amangi, omuzia omutono oyo yakunza ewintu wiae wiona alala kandi afuma nawio okugia mu ewialo ewia ale. Na ari eyo, yaria omwandu gwae mu owulamu owua okuteesania agumala chwe!* 14 Ni yamala okuria ewintu wiae wiona, enzala enene yafuma mu ekialo ekio, kandi yatanika okuinyaasia ino. 15 Kutio, yagia awa owemirimo owa omuntu wundi owa ekialo ekio, kandi omuntu oyo yamuira ku emisiri giae okuriisia enguruwe. 16 Enzala yagera omwoyo gwae guagala namba okuria ewitorekerwa ewia enguruwe ziarianga ewio, kandi awulao omuntu owamu-aa ekia akaria.

17 “Olwa yairana mu amaingirizio gaae amalootu, yawoola omwene otino, ‘Awemirimo awa soifu awameka awaria okuria kwasigala, ni inze mpano enzala enzita ano! 18 Nyiza okufuma nyirane ku soifu ngie mulage otino: Soifu miire okuona emberi wa Katonda kandi emberi waao oona. 19 Ngʼansugaane okuetwa omuzia waao kandi. Ganya mbe ki omulala ku awemirimo waao.’

20 “Kutio, yatanika olugendo na airana ku swae. No olwa yawanga na akiari ale, swae yamuwona kandi yamuambra amasaasra. Yarumuka na agia okuaganra omuzia waae. Yamukunaania mu ekifuwa na amakono awiri na amukeezia no olugonzi. 21 Omuzia oyo yalaga swae otino, ‘Soifu miire okukola owuwiiwi emberi wa Katonda, ne emberi waao oona. Ngʼansugaane okuetwa omuzia waao kandi.’ 22 Ni swae yalaga awemirimo waae otino, ‘Mureete enguwo endootu ino mumuingizizie.

25 “Gano ni gaikolanga, omuzia omukulu yawanga na akiari mu emisiri. Olwa yaaza ampi ne engo, yawurra owukana na amazina. 26 Kutio, yaeta omulala ku awemirimo amuwuuzia ekiaikolanga. 27 Yamuirania otino, ‘Wamwinyu airaane, kutio swao amuitiire akaiiri akanovu aeniki airaane geeza na ari omulamu.’

28 “Okusu kwa-amba omuzia omukulu oyo kandi alowa okuingira ku omugizi. Kutio swae yafuma okugia okugamba-gamba nae okumuiyemba aingire. 29 Ni iye yairania swae otino, ‘Katio wonako!

Ndage kiomo omiire okuwa no okola na amasendi, aeniki ngoesa okuwa omukangasi owemirimo giange kandi.’

3 “Omukangasi owemirimo oyo yaiwuuzia omwene otino, ‘Ekia nkakola niki? Omwene emirimo mpano andumusia mu emirimo gino ni mbula amaani aga okurima kandi nsuuka okuwa omusawi-sawi. 4 Manyire ekia ngia okukola kugere ne emirimo giange giwuere ano awantu wakiaza okunyingizia mu amayumba gaawu.’

5 “Kutio yaeta awantu awaawanga ne emisango egia omukangasi waae omulala ki omulala. Yawuuzia owaaza kuluweri otino, ‘Ori no omusango ogwa omukangasi wange oguagana gutie?’ 6 Yamuirania mbwe, ‘Amadebe mia munaane aga amavuta aga ensaafu ezia omuti ogwa *zaituuni.’ Omukangasi owemirimo oyo yamulaga otino, ‘Ikala ansi, otoole itu eria omusango gwao kandi ojoje mbwe omusango gwao guri amadebe mia wine.’ 7 Nikuemao yawuuzia owa okuwiri otino, ‘Ni iwue, ori no omusango oguagana gutie?’ Yamuirania mbwe, ‘Amagunia mia kilala aga engaano.’ Kandi yamulaga otino, ‘Toola itu eria omusango gwao ojoje mbwe gari amakumi munaane.’

8 “Omwene emirimo oyo yatondowola omukangasi owemirimo giae otaawanga omuigolovu oyo, aeniki yakola na amagezi gaae ku awa emisango awo okuizuzia enkanga yaae omwene.

14 *Awafarisaayo woona, awaawanga ni wagonziizie amasendi, waawurra amangʼana gano goona kandi waamusekera ni wamuzerenga. 15 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Inywe ni inywe awaieta aweeru, ni Katonda amanyire emioyo giinyu. Ekia awantu watoola mbwe kinene mu amiiso gaawu, kiwula emirimo mu amiiso aga Katonda.*

19 “Yawangao omuntu omunyazi owawanga na aiwoya enguwo endootu ezingʼena-ngʼena ezia iguzi eria kungulu, kandi owawanga na amenyere owulamu owulootu owuire ki owuire. 20 Ku ekiriwua kiae, yawangao omusawi-sawi owaetwanga Lazaaro, owa ewisonga wiawanga ni wimiire omuwiri pe. 21 Kangi olusa lwamurianga ne ewiokuria ewiagwanga ansi eya emeesa eya omunyazi oyo.

29 “Ni Abraamu yamulaga otino, ‘Wari na amangʼana agaajojwa mu ebuuki ezia Muusa ne ezia Awagambi; wasugaane wagalonde.’*

30 “Yamuirania otino, ‘Ngawagawurra yaaya soifu Abraamu; ni mala no omuntu aemere ku awafu awagieko nikwo wakagaluka wareke amawi gaawu.’

Ogera Omukristo na airana enyima mu okuganya ariwona owululu

(Math 18:6–7, 15, 21–22; Mari 9:42)

1 Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Ewintu ewigera na awantu wairana enyima mu okuganya nawiiza okureka okuwaao. Ni kuriweera owululu omuntu-umuntu ogera na awandi wairana enyima mu okuganya. 2 Kuri kulootu okukira no omuntu ogera omulala ku awakiari no okuganya okutono wano na airana enyima mu okuganya, na asiwirweko oluwaare ku igosi, agie arigizwe mu enyanza. 3 Kutio, muwarre geeza ewintu ewia mukola!

“Ni wamwinyu akorre owuoni, musiagizie. Ni na agaluuke areke amawi gaae, murekere. 4 Na akuoneere entunda musamvu ku owuire, ni kandi akuiranako entunda musamvu ezio na akulaga mbwe ‘Nkuisasaama ondekere,’ iwue murekere.”

Ekia okuganya kuesa okukola

Awantu ikumi walamre owugenge

11 Ni yawanga ku engira na agia Yerusaleemu, Yesu yawitra agati eya ewialo ewia Samaria ni Galiili.* 12 Ni yawitanga omugizi gundi, awantu ikumi awaalwalanga owulwire owua owugenge waamuagaana. Waaimerra antulo,* 13 kandi waeta no omwoyo ogwa kungulu watino, “Yesu, Omukangasi, tuambreko amagongi!” 14 Olwa yawawona yawalaga otino, “Mugie muilagane ku *awoozia.” No olwa waagianga, emiwiri giawu giaona giwa emieru.*

15 Omulala ku iwo olwa yawona mbwe amiire okulama, yairana na atondowola Katonda no omwoyo ogwa kungulu. 16 Yagwa mu amagulu aga Yesu na amuiranizia otioo. Omuntu oyo yawanga *Omusamaria.

17 Nikuemao, Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Kane awaema okulamiwua ngawawerenga awantu ikumi? Ni kienda wandi wariai? 18 Awulao omuntu owawuine mbwe kulootu na airaane okutondowola Katonda, ni mala omuntu omulala omugeni ono?” 19 Nikuemao yamulaga otino, “Ema ogie, okuganya kwao kukununuule.”*

Owuami owua Katonda wutuukre

20 Olwa *Awafarisaayo waawuuzia Yesu olwa *Owuami owua Katonda wurituuka, Yesu yawalaga otino, “Owuami owua Katonda ngawuriiza muwuwone na amiiso giinyu, 21 lwona awantu ngawariwoola mbwe mbuno wuri ano, nakuwa mbwe mbuuria wuri aaria. Ni kutia aeniki emirimo egia Owuami owua Katonda wuwarimo.”*

Okuirana okwa Omuzia owa Omuntu

(Math 24:26–27, 37–41, 28)

22 Nikuemao, Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Enyinga ziiza ezia muriagala okuwona namba owuire owulala owua *Omuzia owa Omuntu, ni ngamuriwona. 23 Awantu wariwalaga mbwe nguuria ari aaria, nakuwa mbwe nguno ari ano!

Owutuukre awooni waaza okuswawukwa

1 Nikuemao, Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae olugero oluwagerera mbwe wasugaane wakole olutuunyo mu okusawa Katonda aa watafwire emioyo.* 2 Yawalaga otino, “Ku omugizi gundi yawangao omukengi owa ekiina owawanga na atatiire awantu namba Katonda. 3 Yawangao oona omukazi omufwire ku omugizi ogwo owamuuzangako na amurra otino, ‘Kola geeza ongawule no omuzigu wange.’

9 Ku awantu wandi awaaingirizianga mbwe wari awalongoole emberi wa Katonda, ni kandi wakiaregere awantu wandi awa wawona ki awooni, Yesu yawakubra olugero luno: 10 “Awantu wawiri waagia mu *ekaalu okusawa. Omulala yawanga *Omufarisaayo no owundi yawanga omusolozi owa *omusolo. 11 Omufarisaayo yaimerra kuwuae atanika okusawa otino, ‘Katonda, nkuiranizia otioo aeniki ngʼamfwanana na awantu wandi awari awasakuzi, awakola amawi, awasoodani, lwona ngʼandi kiomo omusolozi owa omusolo ono. 12 Nsiwa okuria kawiri ku omudiira kandi mfumia *endala ku ikumi ku ewintu wiange wiona.’*

13 “No omusolozi owa omusolo, iye yaimerra antulo enyima kandi ngakaagalanga namba okuginga amiiso awarre ku igulu. Yakuba ekifuwa kiae okulagana mbwe owuoni wuae wumuwiiyiire, na awoola otino, ‘Katonda, mpambre amagongi, ndi omwoni.’* 14 Mbalaga mbwe omuntu ono nio owagia engo na ari omweru emberi owa Katonda, ni ngʼani owundi ono. Aeniki omuntu oiginga kungulu emberi owa Katonda ari-isiwua ansi, no omuntu oiisiizie ansi arigingwa kungulu.”*

Yesu asereeke awaana awato

(Math 19:13–15; Mari 10:13–16)

15 Awantu waareetanga namba awaana wato ku Yesu kugere awateeko okukono awasereke. Olwa awalonzi waae waawona watio, waasoozia awantu awo. 16 Ni Yesu yawaeta mbwe wamuuzeko na awoola otino, “Mureke awaana awato wanyizeko, kandi mutawalowera yaaya. Aeniki *Owuami owua Katonda wuri owua awantu awari ki awaana wano. 17 Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe omuntu-umuntu otaingiizie Owuami owua Katonda no okuganya ki okwa omwana muto, ngariwuingiramo.”*

Omuwuuka omunyazi

(Math 19:16–26; Mari 10:17–27)

18 Omukangasi wundi yamuwuuzia otino, “Omugerezi omulootu, ekia nsugaane nkole niki kugere ntuukre owulamu owutariwua?”* 19 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Onyeta omulootu kolaki? Awulao omuntu omulootu mala Katonda engʼene. 20 Ngomanyire *ensikirra: ‘Otasooda omukazi owa owundi, otaita, otaiwa, otata ku omuntu amangʼana aga owuweeyi, kandi tia swao ni ngʼinwao.’† ”

21 Yawoola otino, “Ensikirra zino ziona miire okurinda okuemera mu owuana wuto wuange.”

22 Olwa Yesu yawurra gano yamulaga otino, “Ekikukeeyire ne ekintu ekilala: Guzia ewintu wiao wiona, otoole amasendi ogawire awataka, nikwo ooza okuwa no owuwiiko ku igulu. No omiire okukola otio, ooze ondonde.”* 23 Olwa omuntu oyo yawurra otio owusangaavu wuae wuawua, aeniki yawanga omunyazi ino.

24 Yesu yamuwarra awona na awula owusangaavu mala awoola otino, “Kuri okukalu kutie ku awantu awari no owunyazi okuingira mu Owuami owua Katonda! 25 Aeniki, kuri kunyoowu engamia okuingira mu iwundu eria esindaano okukira omunyazi okuingira mu Owuami owua Katonda.”

26 Awantu awaawurra amangʼana gano waamuwuuzia watino, “Oesa okununulwa katio naanu?”

27 Ni Yesu yawoola otino, “Ekintu ekitaesekana ku omuntu, kiesekana ku Katonda.”*

Ekia turituukra ku okulonda Yesu

(Math 19:27–30; Mari 10:28–31)

28 Petro yamulaga otino, “Omwami, ifwe tureekere emigizi giifu giona tukulonda!”

29 Yesu yawawoorra otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe awulao omuntu orekere enyumba yaae, nakuwa omukazi, nakuwa waamwawu, nakuwa awiiwuzi, nakuwa awaana, ku amangʼana aga Owuami owua Katonda,* 30 otaaza okutuukra ewintu wino entunda enyingi okukira mu owulamu wuno, ni mu amiire agaaza arituukra owulamu owutariwua.”

Yesu agamba-gambre olwa okusatu ku okufwa kwae

(Math 20:17–19; Mari 10:32–34)

31 Yesu yatoola awalonzi waae ikumi ni wawiri awa nawo kuwuawu awalaga otino, “Wuno tugia Yerusaleemu, kandi ewintu wiona ewiajojwa na *awagambi ku Omuzia owa Omuntu wigia okutuuka kuwuene.* 32 Aeniki agia okuteewua mu amakono aga awatari *Awayaudi, awaaza okumukorra amatiicha ne ewintu ewia ensuuko, ni wamufuuzako amate. 33 Waaza okumuswawuka enkowa nikwo wamuite. No owuire owua okusatu aaza okuziuka aeme ku awafu.”

34 Awalonzi waae awo ngawakawurra ekia yawalaganga. Ekia yawoolanga kiawaiwisra kandi ngawakamanya ekia yagamba-gambangako.**

Yesu alamiizie omuntu omuwuunu

(Math 20:29–34; Mari 10:46–52)

35 Ni Yesu yawanga ampi ni Yeriiko, omuwuunu wundi yawanga na aikaale entulo eya engira na asawa-sawa. 36 Olwa yawurra omurima ogwa awantu ni guwita gugia, yawawuuzia ekiaikolanga. 37 Waamulaga mbwe, “Yesu Omunazareeti nio owita agia.”

38 Yaogerera wukalu otino, “Yesu, *Omuzia owa Daudi, mpambre amagongi!”

39 Na awantu awaawanga emberi waamugaania ni wamulaga mbwe asarigire. Ni iye yagia emberi na akuba erioga ino otino, “Omuzia owa Daudi, mpambre amagongi!”

40 Yesu yaimerra kandi asikirra mbwe omuntu oyo areetwe ku iye. Olwa yaaza ampi, Yesu yamuwuuzia otino, 41 “Ekia oagala nkukorre niki?”

Yamuirania otino, “Omwami, nyagala amiiso gange gawone.”

42 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Amiiso gaao kagawone; okuganya kwao kukulamiizie.”* 43 Ao-ao amiiso gaae gaiguka atanika okuwona, kandi yalonda Yesu na atondowola Katonda. Olwa awantu waawona ekiaikola kino, woona waatondowola Katonda.

Sakaayo aweere omulonzi owa Yesu

1 Yesu yaingira ku omugizi ogwa Yeriiko kandi yawitanga omwo na agia. 2 Omuntu wundi yawangao oetwa mbwe Sakaayo, omukangasi owa awasolozi awa *omusolo, kandi omuntu omunyazi ino. 3 Yaagalanga okuwona kiomo Yesu afwanana, ni ngakaesanga aeniki yawanga omuntu omwimpi ino kandi omurima ogwaikumia ku Yesu gwamulowera okumuwona. 4 Kutio yarumuka agia emberi kandi aniina omukuyu kugere amuwone, aeniki Yesu yaazanga okuwita ku engira eyo.

5 Olwa Yesu yatuuka asi ao, yawarra kungulu amulaga otino, “Sakaayo, ika ansi wuangu-wuangu aeniki reero ngia okuwa omugeni omwao.” 6 Kutio yaika ansi wuangu-wuangu kandi aingizia Yesu mu enyumba yaae ne ekisangaalo.

7 Awantu woona awaawona ekiaikola kino waatanika okungʼongʼoona ni wawoola watino, “Agiire okuwa omugeni owa ‘omwoni’.”*

8 Ni Sakaayo iye yaema awoola otino, “Omwami wona! Nyesania enusu eya ewintu ewiange ku awataka nyingeeno. Kandi ni nyatoola ekintu-ukintu ku omuntu ku engira eya owusakuzi, nyiza okumuiranizia aa kane.”*

9 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Reero owuinunuzi wuingiire mu enyumba eno, aeniki omuntu ono oona no omuzia owa Abraamu.* 10 Aeniki *Omuzia owa Omuntu yaaza okuagarizia kandi okununula awantu awaateeka.”*

Olugero olwa awemirimo ikumi awaaegekwa amasendi aga edhaabu

(Math 25:14–30)

11 Ni waawanga ni wakiategerezia gano, Yesu yatanika okuwalaga olugero, aeniki yawanga na ari ampi okutuuka Yerusaleemu kandi awantu waingirizianga mbwe *Owuami owua Katonda wuagianga okutuuka enyinga-unyinga.* 12 Nikuemao yawalaga otino, “Omuntu wundi owaemanga mu owuiwulane owua awaami yagianga ku ekialo ekia ale, okuteewua ku entewe eya owuami nikwo airane. 13 Kutio, ni yawanga na akiari okufuma, yaeta awemirimo waae ikumi awaegeka amasendi aga edhaabu ikumi, omuntu ki omuntu endala-ndala. Nikuemao yawalaga otino, ‘Mukole amaara na amasendi aga mbaegeeke gano nawuno nyirane.’*

14 “Na awantu awayagianga okuwa omwami waawu waatuma *omutumwa gumulonda, mbwe ngawamuagala awe omwami waawu.* 15 Kukawa kutio, yateewua ku entewe eya owuami kandi airana engo. Nikuemao, yatumania mbwe awemirimo waae awa yaegeka amasendi garia waetwe, kugere amanye ekia wamiire okutuukra kungulu.

16 “Osookere yaaza emberi waae amulaga otino, ‘Omukangasi, isendi eria waanyegeka rimiire okuiwula agandi ikumi kungulu.’

17 “Omwami waae yamulaga otino, ‘Okorre geeza ino iwue owemirimo omulootu kandi omuigolovu! Aeniki omiire okuwa omulongoole ku okurinda amatono geeza, katio nyiza okuegeka emigizi ikumi emikaate orinde.’

18 “Owa okuwiri yaaza awoola otino, ‘Omukangasi, isendi eria waanyegeka riiwuule agandi itaanu kungulu.’

19 “Omukangasi oyo yamulaga otino, ‘Iwue ooza okurinda emigizi emikaate itaanu.’*

20 “Nikuemao owemirimo wundi yaaza amulaga otino, ‘Omukangasi, isendi riao eria waanyegeka ndino. Nyawanga ni ndisiwre mu ekiraka, ndiwiika ale. 21 Nyawanga ni nkutiire, aeniki ori omuntu omugugu, otoola ewintu asi aa ataata ewiae, kandi ogesa aa otaakomera.’

22 “Omukangasi waae yamulaga otino, ‘Nyiza okukengera ekiina nikulondokana na amangʼana agaemere mu omunwa gwao, iwue owemirimo omuwiiwi ono! Owuo owoola mbwe wawanga no omanyire mbwe ndi omuntu omugugu, otoola ewintu aa ataata ewiae, kandi mbwe ngesa aa ntaakomera? 23 Ni kuri kutio, kane ekiakulowera okuwiika isendi riange mu ebenki kugere ni nyiraane ndituukre ni rimiire okuiwula agandi kungulu niki?’

24 “Nikuemao yalaga awaawanga ni waimeriire antulo ao otino, ‘Mumutooleko isendi eria ari nario erio, mu-ee omuntu ori na amasendi ikumi oria.’

25 “Waamulaga watino, ‘Omukangasi, oria ari na amasendi ikumi goona!’

26 “Yawairania otino, ‘Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe omuntu-umuntu okola geeza ne ekia aegeekwe, nio orisongwa amangi. No omuntu otakola geeza ne ekia aegeekwe, aaza okunyagulwa namba ekitono ekia yaegekwa.* 27 Ni ku awazigu wange awaalowa mbwe namba-aa omwami waawu waria, muwareete ano kandi muwaite emberi wange ano.’ ”

Yesu aingiziiwue Yerusaleemu ne ekisangaalo

(Math 21:1–11; Mari 11:1–11; Yowa 12:12–19)

28 Olwa Yesu yamala okuwoola gano, yagia emberi no olugendo lwae olwa okugia Yerusaleemu. 29 Olwa yatuuka ampi ni Bethfaage ni Bethania, ku ekigiri ekietwa mbwe *Zaituuni, yatuma awatumwa waae wawiri emberi 30 na awalaga otino, “Mugie mu ekitemo ekiri emberi kiiria, aa ni muingira mugia okutuukra entikiri embuuka eya omuntu akiari okuniinako ne esiwirwe ku olugoe. Mugisiwule mugireete ano.* 31 No omuntu awawuuziizie mbwe ‘Ekigera ni mugisiwula niki?’ mumulage mbwe, ‘Omwami nio ogiagala.’ ”

32 Kutio, awaatumwa awo waafuma wagia watuukra entikiri eyo kiomo Yesu yawalaga. 33 Ni waasiwulanga entikiri eyo, aweeneyo waawawuuzia watino, “Ekigera ni musiwula entikiri eyo niki.”

34 Waawairania watino, “Omwami nio ogiagala?” 35 Waareeta entikiri eyo ku Yesu, wagiaziako enguwo ziawu nikwo waikazia Yesu ku omugongo gwayo. 36 Ni yagianga emberi, awantu waa-anzuula enguwo ziawu ku engira.**

37 Olwa yatuuka ampi, ku ekiserengeto ekiika no oema ku ekigiri ekia Zaituuni, omurima ogwa awaamulondanga gwatanika okuogerera wukalu ne ekisangaalo ni watondowola Katonda ku ewintu ewikate-kaate ewia waawona.* 38 Waawoola watino,

“Asereekwe iye Omwami

ooza ku eriina eria *Omwami Katonda.†

Owuolu wuweeo ku igulu,

kandi owunene wueewue ori kungulu okukira.”**

39 *Awafarisaayo wandi awaawanga mu omurima ogwo waalaga Yesu watino, “Omugerezi, gaania awalonzi waao wareke okuogerera!” 40 Yawairania otino, “Mbalaga mbwe ni wasarigiire namba amawaale gano gaaza okuogerera ni gatondowola Katonda.”*

41 No olwa yatuuka ampi kandi awona omugizi omunene ogwa Yerusaleemu, yagurra* 42 na awoola otino, “Kanga mbwe namba inywe mwona mumanyire nyingeeno ekikawareetra owuolu. Ni kukawa kutio, kiwaiwisiire kandi ngamukiwona.* 43 Amiire gaaza aga awazigu waao waaza okukuigarra wakusunguuzie embega ziona. 44 Warikugwisia ansi, iwue alala na awaana waao awakumenyeremo kandi ngawarireka namba iwaale ilala ni riigereeke ku rindi. Aeniki ngokamanya enyinga ezia Katonda yakuuzako okukununula.”**

Yesu arumuusie awaguzi mu ekaalu olwa okuwiri†

(Math 21:12–17; Mari 11:15–19)

45 Nikuemao, Yesu yaingira mu *ekaalu atanika okurumusia awaguzi awaaguzianga ewintu mu ekaalu na awafumia omwo. 46 Yawalaga otino, “Kwajojwa mbwe ‘Enyumba yange eeza okuetwa enyumba eya okusawa’† ni inywe mugigaluusie ‘Owuiwiso owua awasakuzi.’† ”*

47 Owuire ki owuire Yesu yagereranga mu ekaalu omwo. Awakangasi awa *awoozia na *awagerezi awa endagirra alala na awakangasi awa *Awayaudi, waagalanga engira eya okumuita.* 48 Kukawa kutio ngawakatuukra engira eya okukola otio, aeniki awantu awangi waawanga ni wamuikumiizieko ni wawurra amangʼana gaae.*

20

Awakangasi awa Awayaudi wawuuziizie Yesu aa amaani gaae gaema

(Math 21:23–27; Mari 11:27–33)

1 Owuire wulala, ni Yesu yawanga na agerera awantu mu *ekaalu kandi na alanzia *injiili, awakangasi awa *awoozia, na *awagerezi awa endagirra alala na *awagaaka waamuuzako. 2 Waamuwuuzia watino, “Tulageko mbwe na amaaniiki aga okola nago ewintu ewia okola wino? Okueere amaani gano naanu?”

3 Yawairania otino, “Noona nyagala okuwawuuzia okuwuuzia okulala, munyiranie. 4 Amaani aga Yowaana yabatiisa nago awantu, gaaema ku igulu ku Katonda, kusi ku omuntu?”

5 Waaiwuuzia ku ingʼana rino agati yaawu aweene watino, “Ni tuwoorre mbwe ‘Gaamuemera ku igulu’ aaza okutuwuuzia mbwe, ‘Ekiawalowera okumuganyako niki?’ 6 Ni, ni tuwoorre mbwe ‘Gaamuemera ku awantu,’ awantu wano woona waaza okutukuba na amawaale, aeniki waganyire kuwuene mbwe Yowaana yawanga *omugambi owa Katonda.”*

7 Kutio waamuirania mbwe, “Ngatumanyire aa gaaema.” 8 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Noona ngʼanyiza okuwalaga aa amaani aga nkola nago ewintu wino gaema, yaaya.”

Olugero olwa awarimi awaakodeesa omusiri

(Math 21:33–46; Mari 12:1–12)

9 Yesu yatanika okulaga awantu olugero luno: “Omuntu wundi yasimba emizabiibu mu omusiri gwae mala agu-aa awarimi wandi wagukodeesa wagurinde, nikuemao afuma agia mu ekialo kindi aweera eyo ku amiire amangi.* 10 Olwa enyinga ezia igesa ziatuuka, yatuma owemirimo waae ku awarimi awo kugere wamueeko ensaafu zindi ezia ku omusiri ogwa emizabiibu ogwo. Na awarimi awo waamukuba kandi wamurumusia airana amakono masa. 11 Yatuma owemirimo wundi, ni oyo oona waamukuba kandi wamukorra ewintu ewia ensuuko, nikwo wamurumusia airana amakono masa. 12 Yatuma kandi owemirimo wundi owa okusatu. Ni ono waamukuba wamunyaala nikwo wamuzigiza enze eya omusiri.* 13 Nikuemao, omwene omusiri oyo yawoola otino, ‘Ekia nkakola niki? Nyiza okutuma omuzia wange owa ngonziizie. Andi waaza waamu-aa owuti.’* 14 No olwa awarimi awo waamuwona, waawoola aweene watino, ‘Ono nio osugaane arie omwandu ogwa ngʼina omusiri. Mutumuite kugere omusiri guno gutusigarre.’ 15 Kutio waamurigiza enze eya omusiri kandi wamuita.

“Katio niki ekia omwene omusiri aaza okukorra awantu awo? 16 Aaza okuita awarimi awo, nikuemao atoole omusiri ate mu amakono aga awandi.” Olwa waawurra amangʼana gano, waawoola watino, “Kino kitaaza kiaikola!”

17 Yesu yawawarra nikwo awawuuzia otino, “Kane amangʼana agaajojwa mbwe,

“ ‘Iwaale eria awaomboki waalowa

nirio eriairana riwa ilootu eriambiriire enzizi eya enyumba,’†

galaganaki? 18 Omuntu-umuntu oigunyire ku iwaale erio aaza okuvunika wutono-tono, no owa iwaale erio rigwireko riiza okumusia ki egunduusi.”*

19 Olwa waamanya mbwe niwo Yesu yawanga na akuba olugero luno, awagerezi awa endagirra na awakangasi awa awoozia waageraania engira eya okumuamba enyinga ezio, ni waatia awantu awaawanga ao.*

Okufumizia Kaisaari omusolo

(Math 22:15–22; Mari 12:13–17)

20 Kutio, waamuwarranga ino kandi wamutumako awantu awaisemerezia mbwe wari nae owulootu kugere wamutuukreko owuwi ku ekintu ekia awoorre omwene, ekikagera wamuire emberi wa omukangasi owa ekialo.* 21 Waaza waamuwuuzia watino, “Omugerezi, tumanyire mbwe ewia owoola ne ewia ogerera wiri kuwuene, kandi ngotiire amiiso aga awantu. Ni, iwue ogerera mala engira eya Katonda mu engira eri kuwuene. 22 Tulageeko, mberi endagirra iifu etuganyiire okufumizia Omwami Kaisaari *omusolo, nakuwa yaaya?”

23 Yesu yamanya owuchege wuawu, kandi awalaga otino, 24 “Mundageko isendi eria edinaari. Kino ne ekiiruuzia ekia anu? Kandi rino ne eriina eria anu?” Waamuirania watino, “*Kaisaari.”

25 Nikuemao yawalaga otino, “Mu-ee Kaisaari ewia Kaisaari, ne ewia Katonda mu-ee Katonda!”* 26 Ni ngawakaesanga okumuamba ku ekintu ekia yawoola emberi wa awantu ao. Ni waaluguula ino ku okuirania okwa yawairania, kutio waasarigira kiri.

Awasadukaayo wawuuzia Yesu ku okuziuka

(Math 22:23–33; Mari 12:18–27)

27 *Awasadukaayo awaalowanga mbwe okuziuka okwa awafu kuwulao, waaza ku Yesu* 28 waamuwuuzia watino, “Omugerezi, Muusa yatujojera mu *ensikirra mbwe no omuntu afwire arekeo omukazi okiawula awaana, wamwawu osigaale paka agereme omukazi oyo, kugere afumie enyumba eya wamwawu.* 29 Waawangao awazia musamvu awa omuntu omulala. Omukulu yatoola omukazi, ni yafwa na akiari okuiwula nae awaana. 30 Owa okuwiri yamugerema, ni oona yafwa na ataiwuule nae omwana. 31 Nikuemao owa okusatu yamugerema, kandi nintio awazia musamvu awo woona waawa nae, ni wafwa ni wataiwuule nae omwana. 32 Lunyima, omukazi oyo oona yafwa. 33 Katio, olwa awantu wariziuka, omukazi oyo ariwa omukazi owa anu ku awasaaza musamvu awaawa nae ki awasaaza waae wano?”

34 Yesu yawairania otino, “Awantu awa ikula eria nyingeeno rino wakwa kandi wakwewua. 35 Na, awa Katonda awuine mbwe wasugre okuwa mu ikula eriiza kandi mu okuziuka okuema ku awafu, iwo ngawarikwa kandi ngawarikwewua. 36 Ngawarifwa mala kiomo *enyankoi, kandi wariwa awaana awa Katonda awa aziusie okuema ku awafu.* 37 Ni ku okuziuka okwa awafwu, namba Muusa oona yalagana mu omunayo ogwa isaka eriayianga mbwe awafu waesa okuziuka, olwa yaeta *Omwami Katonda mbwe ‘Katonda owa Abraamu, Katonda owa Isaaka, kandi Katonda owa Yakoobo’† 38 Ngari Katonda owa awafu, yaaya, na ari Katonda owa awalamu. Aeniki awantu woona watuukra owulamu ku iye.”

39 Awandi ku awagerezi awa endagirra waairania watino, “Owoorre geeza ino omugerezi!”* 40 Kutio, awulao omuntu owasianiya okumuwuuzia embuuzia indi kandi.*

Kristo ari Omuzia owa Daudi

(Math 22:41–46; Mari 12:35–37)

41 Nikwo Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Wareeta watie okuwoola mbwe Kristo no *Omuzia owa Daudi? 42 Aeniki, Daudi omwene awoola mu ebuuki eya Zabuuri mbwe,

“ ‘Omwami Katonda yalaga Omwami wange otino,

44 Ni Daudi amueta mbwe Omwami waae, katio *Kristo awa otie omuzia waae kandi?”*

Yesu asiagizia awakangasi awa ediini eya Awayaudi

(Math 23:1–12; Mari 12:38–40)

45 Olwa awantu woona waamutegerezianga, Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, 46 “Muwe amankaga ne enkola ezia awagerezi awa endagirra awagonziizie okugenda-genda ni waiwooye enguwo endiire-ndiire na amakeezio aga owuti aga wakeeziwua nago mu ewiiyia. Lwona wagonziizie okuikala ku entewe endowole mu amasinagoogi kandi warumukra amawaga agatengekrwe awakangasi mu emigomo.* 47 Wasemerezia awakazi awafwire ni wawariako ewintu kandi wasawa okusawa okuliire okwa okuilagana emberi wa awantu. Iwo warikengerwa ekiina ekiwiiwi okukira awandi.”

21

Omukazi omufwire afumiizie okukira woona

(Mari 12:41–44)

1 Ni Yesu yawanga mu olwanyi olwa *ekaalu na agerera, yawona awanyazi ni wafumia ewintu wiawu ni wata mu esanduuki eya okuta amasendi agafumiziwua Katonda.* 2 Yawona omukazi omufwire omutaka na ataamo eela iwiri ziengʼene. 3 Nikuemao yawoola otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe omukazi omufwire omutaka ono afumiizie amangi okukira awantu wano woona. 4 Aeniki awandi woona wafumiizie amatono okuema ku owunyazi owungi owua wari nawuo, no omukazi omutaka ono iye afumiizie goona aga awerenga nago mu owulamu wuae.”*

Ekaalu eya Katonda eeza okuonwa

(Math 24:1–2; Mari 13:1–2)

5 Awandi ku awalonzi waae waagamba-gambanga ku ekaalu, kiomo yaombokwa na amawaale amalootu agaomerezia kandi elongwa ne ewintu ewiafumiziwua Katonda. Yesu yawoola otino, 6 “Amayumba aga muwona ano gano, goona gaaza okugemulwa gawuere ansi kandi riwulao namba iwaale ilala eriiza okusigala ni riigereeke ku erindi.”*

Ewilago ewia owutuuko owua ekialo

(Math 24:3–14; Mari 13:3–13)

7 Waamuwuuzia watino, “Omugerezi, ni ri olwa ewintu wino wiriikola, kandi ewirilagana mbwe wiri ampi okuikola niki?”

8 Yawairania otino, “Muwe amankaga mutaaza mwateesiwua no omuntu, aeniki awantu awangi waaza okuuza ne eriina riange ni wawoola mbwe, ‘Ni inze *Kristo, ni inze Kristo,’ kandi mbwe ‘Enyinga zimiire okutuuka.’ Ni mutawalonda. 9 Ni muuza okuwurra mbwe amaye galwana, kandi mbwe awantu wataagulana, ago gatawatiisia. Aeniki ewintu wino paka wiikole owusookere, ni mumanye mbwe owutuuko ngawuuza okutuuka ku enyinga ezio.”

3 Nikuemao *Sataani yaingira mu omwoyo ogwa Yudaasi oetwa mbwe Iskarioti, owawanga omulala ku awalonzi ikumi ni wawiri.* 4 Yudaasi yagia ku awakangasi awa awoozia na awarinzi awakaate mu *ekaalu agamba-gamba nawo ku kiomo akata Yesu mu amakono gaawu. 5 Waasangaala ino kandi waaganyana okumu-aa amasendi. 6 Kutio yaganya kandi yatanika okuagala iwaga eria okumuta mu amakono gaawu, aa awantu awangi wawula.

Okuikagra omugomo ogwa Pasaaka

(Math 26:17–19; Mari 14:12–16)

7 Owuire owua omugomo ogwa Omukaati ogutazogrwe na amamera wuatuuka, olwa ekimaatwa ekia Pasaaka kiaitwanga ki omusango.* 8 Kutio, Yesu yatuma Yowaana ni Petro na awalaga otino, “Mugie mutuikazizie okuria asi aa tugia okuriira Pasaaka.” 9 Iwo waawuuzia watino, “Omwami, na ai aa wagala mbwe tukuikazizie omugomo ogwo?” 10 Yesu yawairania otino, “Ni munaingira ku omugizi omunene, muuza okuagana omusaaza ogingre entamu eya amanzi. Mumulonde paka mu enyumba eya agia okuingiramo. 11 Mulage omwene enyumba eyo mutino, ‘Omugerezi atutumre, tuuze tukuwuuzie mbwe enyumba eya awageni eya akariiramo omugomo ogwa Pasaaka na awalonzi waae eriai?’ 12 Omuntu oyo aaza okuwalaga enyumba enkaate eri kungulu ku egoroofa erimo ewintu wiona ewiagalana. Ao nio mutuikazizie tuuze turiiremo.”

13 Waagia watuukra ewintu wiona mala kiomo Yesu yawalaga otio. Kutio waafumba okuria okwa Pasaaka wakuikazia omwo.

Yesu aria okuria okwa Pasaaka na awalonzi waae

14 Olwa enyinga ezia okuria ziatuuka, Yesu yaigolola okuria na awatume waae ku emeesa.* 15 Yawalaga otino, “Miire okuwa na amiiga aga okuria ni inywe okuria okwa Pasaaka kuno ni nkiari okuwona eminyako-nyaako emilulu. 16 Aeniki mbalaga kuwuene mbwe ngʼanyiza okuria ni inywe kandi, nawuno ekia okuria kuno kulagana kutuuke kuwuene mu *Owuami owua Katonda.”

Amasaai aga endagano empia

(Math 26:26–29; Mari 14:22–25; 1Kori 11:23–25)

19 Nikuemao, yatoola omukaati, kandi olwa yamala okuikazia Katonda, yagugenyula kandi agu-aa awalonzi waae na awalaga otino, “Guno no omuwiri gwange oguezaniiwue ku inywe. Mukole mutino ni munyingirizia nagwo.”

20 Mu engira yazane eyo, ni waamala okuria, yatoola ekikombe ekia edivaai awoola otino, “Ekikombe kino ne ekia *endagano empia eya amasaai gange, aga mufukirwa.*

Yesu awoorre ooza okumuguzia

21 “Ni muwone, omuntu ogia okunguzia aria ni inze ku emeesa eno. 22 Aeniki *Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okufwa aemeo mala kiomo kwamala okuteewua kale. Ni kuriweera omuntu omuguziizie wululu ino!” 23 Awalonzi waae waatanika okuiwuuzia naanu agati yaawu okakola ekintu ekifwana kitio.*

Oagala okukangata paka awe omukurumu owa awandi

(Math 20:25–28; 19:28; Mari 10:42–45)

24 Nikuemao waatanika okuikululana mu amangʼana agati yaawu ni waagala okumanya owawanga omunene agati yaawu. 25 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Awakangasi awa awantu awa ekialo kino walagana amaani aga wari nago ku awa wakangatiire. Kukawa kutio, wakiagala mbwe waetwe ‘awatunzi’ awa awantu. 26 Ni inywe mutawa otio. Owugawuuke nawo, omuntu ori omunene agati iinyu awe ki omwana omuto, kandi omukangasi awe ki owemirimo.** 27 Agati ya omuntu oria ku emeesa no omuntu omureetra okuria, naanu ori omunene okukira owundi?

28 “Inywe muri awantu awamiire okuimerra ni inze mu eminyako-nyaako egia miire okuwona. 29 Kandi mba-aa amaani aga owuami, mala kiomo Soifu yoona yampa amaani aga owuami,* 30 kugere murie kandi munywe ku emeesa eya ndiko mu owuami wuange, kandi muikale ku entewe ezia owuami okukengera ewiriango ikumi ni wiwiri ewia Israeli ekiina.”*

Yesu awoorre mbwe Petro aaza okumulowa

(Math 26:33–35; Mari 14:29–31; Yowa 13:36–38)

31 Yesu yalaga Petro otino, “Simioni, Simioni! Sataani aagala okuwaseesa ki amaemba.* 32 Ni, miire okukusawira iwue Simioni, kugere okuganya kwao kutaaza kwairana enyima. Kandi no omiire okuimerra wukalu, okalangusie awiina waao.”*

33 Yamuirania otino, “Omwami, inze nganyire okugia ni iwue mu owusiwe namba okukufwira.”

34 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Nkulaga Petro, engoko ngeeza okulagula owuire wuno, no okiari okulowa kasatu mbwe ngomanyire.”**

Eminyako-nyaako egiri emberi

35 Nikuemao Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Ni nyawatuma ni mutagingre ewibeeti, ensawo nakuwa ewiraato, kiriooko ekia mwataka?”

Waamuirania mbwe, “Yaaya, kiwulao.”*

36 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ni nyingeeno no ori ne ekibeeti ne ensawo zitoole, kandi no owula no omwambe ogwa olugangala, guzia ikooti riao ogie ogule.* 37 Kujojrwe mbwe, ‘Yateewua alala na awantu awooni’†; kandi mbalaga mbwe kino paka kituuke kinyiikorre. Aeniki, ewintu ewiajojwa ku inze katio wituukre wiikola.” 38 Awalonzi waae waamulaga watino, “Omwami wona, gino ne emiambe iwiri egia olugangala.”

Yawairania otino, “Agio gisugre!”

Yesu asawa Gethsemaani ku ekigiri ekia Zaituuni

(Math 26:36–46; Mari 14:32–42)

39 Yesu yafuma na agia ku ekigiri ekia *Zaituuni kiomo kwawanga enkola yaae, kandi awalonzi waae waamulonda.* 40 Olwa waatuuka asi ao, yawalaga otino, “Musawe kugere mutagwa ni mugeezaniwua.”

41 Yawaemako agia emberi waawu ampi nawo, akuba amasigamo kandi atanika okusawa otino, 42 “Soifu, no okaganya, ntoorreo ekikombe ekia emidambo kino ntakinywa. Ni kutaaza kwawa okuagala kwange, no okuagala okwao kuwe mbwe nikwo okuikola.”* 43 *Enyankoi wundi yaema ku igulu kandi amukalangusia. 44 Ni aeniki yawanga no owululu mu omwoyo yasawa no omwoyo ogwa munsi ino, kandi oluuya olwa amasaai lwamuemako ni lutoonya ku ilowa.*

45 Olwa yaema mu okusawa, yairana ku awalonzi waae atuukra ni waluyire ni wagona, ku okuwa okwa waawanga no owululu owua emioyo. 46 Yawawuuzia otino, “Mugona kolaki? Mueme musawe kugere mutagwa ni mugeezaniwua.”*

Yesu aguziiwue kandi a-ambrwe

(Math 26:47–56; Mari 14:43–52; Yowa 18:1–11)

47 Ni yawanga na akiagamba-gamba, omurima ogwa awantu gwaingira ni gukangatiirwe no omuntu oetwa Yudaasi, owawanga omulala ku awalonzi ikumi ni wawiri. Yagia ku Yesu okumukeezia na amunuuna, 48 ni Yesu yamuwuuzia otino, “Yudaasi, owuo oguzia Omuzia owa Omuntu na amakeezio no okumunuuna?”

49 Olwa awalonzi awa Yesu waamanya ekiagianga okuikola waamulaga watino, “Omwami, mberi tukawalwania ne emiambe giifu?” 50 Omulala ku awalonzi awo yata omwambe ku owemirimo owa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia, amukewa okutwi okusaaza, kuwuera ansi chee.

51 Ni Yesu yawagaania otino, “Muwareke wakole ekia waagala.” Kandi yata okukono kwae ku okutwi okwa omuntu oyo kandi amulamia.

52 Nikuemao, Yesu yalaga awakangasi awa awoozia, na awakangasi awa ekaalu alala na *awagaaka, awaaza okumuamba otino, “Munyiziire ne emiambe egia olugangala ne ewirungu ki awagiira omukangasi olwania esirikaali otino kolaki? 53 Olwa nyawanga ni inywe owuire ki owuire mu olwanyi olwa ekaalu, mutampamba. Ni zino nizio enyinga ziinyu, ezia amaani aga ekierema gakola emirimo.”*

Petro alowa mbwe ngamanyire Yesu

(Math 26:69–75; Mari 14:66–72; Yowa 18:25–27)

54 Waamuamba wagia nae kandi wamuira mu enyumba eya Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia. Petro yawalonda enyima ale wutono. 55 Olwa waamala okukuma omurro agati eya olwanyi oluri agati eya amayumba kandi waikumia alala ku omurro ogwo, Petro oona yaaza aikala nawo. 56 Owemirimo owekiala yamuwona na aikaale mu owueru owua omurro. Yamuwarra geeza kandi awoola otino, “Omuntu ono oona yawanga nae.”

57 Ni iye yalowa na awoola mbwe, “Omukazi iwue, inze ngʼamumanyire.”

58 Lunyima wutono, omuntu wundi yamuwona, mala awoola otino, “Kuwuene ori omulala ku iwo.”

Ni Petro yamuirania otino, “Omugaaka iwue, inze ngʼandi nawo.”

59 Ne enyinga ezikasuga enyinga endala ziawita, kandi omuntu wundi oona yawoola otino, “Kuwuene omuntu ono yoona yawerenga nae, aeniki ari Omugaliili.”

60 Ni Petro yamuirania otino, “Yaaya, inze ngʼamanyire ekia owoola!” Ao-ao ni yawanga na akiagamba-gamba, engoko yalagula. 61 Omwami yagaluka mala awarra Petro mu amiiso. Nikuemao Petro yaingirizia amangʼana aga Omwami, kiomo yamulaga mbwe, “Ne engoko ekiari okulagula owuire wuno, ooza okulowa kasatu mbwe ngomanyire.”* 62 Yafuma enze kandi arra wululu ino.

Awarinzi wakorra Yesu amatiicha

63 Awantu awaawanga ni warinda Yesu waatanika okumusekera kandi okumukuba. 64 Waamusiwa amiiso ne ekitambaaya nikwo wamuwuuzia watino, “Tulageeko amangʼana aga owugambi. Okukubre naanu?”* 65 Kandi waawoola ewintu ewingi ewia amanyego ku iye.

Yesu airrwe mu oluwuga olwa awagaaka

(Math 26:59–66; Mari 14:55–64; Yowa 18:19–24)

66 Olwa wuakia, awagaaka awa oluwuga olwa *Awayaudi waaikumia alala, awagingre awakangasi awa awoozia na awagerezi awa endagirra. Yesu yatoolwa airwa emberi wa *oluwuga olwa awagaaka. Waatanika okumuwuuzia watino, 67 “Ni kuri mbwe ni iwue *Meesia, tulage.”

Ni Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ni mbalagre, ngamuuza okuganya ni inze,* 68 kandi ni mbawuuziizie ekintu, ngamuuza okunyirania. 69 No okuemera nyingeeno, Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okuikala nyakukono okusaaza okwa amaani aga *Omwami Katonda.”*

70 Woona waawuuzia watino, “Katio ni iwue Omuzia owa Katonda?”

Yawairania otino, “Inywe aweene mumiire okuwoola mbwe ni inze.”*

71 Nikuemao waawoola watino, “Ekia tukiagarra awawoni wandi niki? Ifwe aweene tuwuriire ekia awoorre no omunwa gwae omwene.”

Awayaudi wairre Yesu ku Pilaato

(Math 27:1–2, 11–14; Mari 15:1–5; Yowa 18:28–38)

1 Nikuemao *awagaaka awa Awayaudi woona waema kandi wamuira ku Pilaato. 2 Kandi waatanika okumuingirra ni wawoola watino, “Tutuukiire omuntu ono na aona awiifu, na awalaga mbwe watafumia *omusolo ku Omwami *Kaisaari, kandi awoola mbwe iye ono ni iye *Meesia, omwami!”*

3 Pilaato yawuuzia Yesu otino, “Mbwe iwue ni iwue omwami owa *Awayaudi?”

Yesu yamuirania otino, “Omwene ni iwue owoorre otio.”*

4 Nikuemao Pilaato yalaga Awakangasi awanene awa *awoozia alala no omurima ogwo otino, “Kiwulao ekia ntuukiire ku omuntu ono ekia akairrwa mu ekiina.” 5 Na awantu waamunigirizia ni wawoola watino, “Engerera yaae emiire okuwa ne ereeta erioga asi-uasi aa agiire mu ekialo ekia Awayaudi kiona. Yatanikra Galiili kandi nyingeeno atuukre ano.”

Yesu airrwe mu ekiina emberi wa Eroode

6 Olwa yawurra amangʼana ago, Pilaato yawuuzia ni kuri mbwe omuntu oyo yawanga Omugaliili. 7 Kandi olwa yamanya mbwe Yesu yawanga owa ekialo ekia *Eroode yawanga na arindre, yamutuma ku Eroode owawanga na ari Yerusaleemu ku enyinga ezio.*

8 Olwa Eroode yawona Yesu, yawa no owusangaavu ino, aeniki yawanga na amiire okuagala okumuwona ku amiire amangi. Ni, nikulondokana ne ekia yamuwurrangako, yarindiranga okumuwona na akola amankono.* 9 Yamuwuuzia embuuzia enyingi, ni Yesu ngakamuirania namba ingʼana ilala. 10 Awakangasi awa awoozia alala na *awagerezi awa endagirra awaawanga ni waimeriire ao waamuingirra ni wamuwoolako amangʼana amangi. 11 Eroode na awalangra waae waamunyaasia ni wamukorra amatiicha ni wamusekera. Nikuemao yamuingizizia enguwo endiire eya owuami kandi amuirania ku Pilaato.* 12 Owuire owuo Eroode ni Pilaato waawa awiiko, ne enyima waawanga awazigu.

Pilaato ateere Yesu mu amakono aga awantu wamuwambe

(Math 27:15–26; Mari 15:6–15; Yowa 18:39—19:16)

13 Nikuemao Pilaato yaeta awakangasi awa awoozia, na awakangasi awa ekialo, alala na awantu wandi, 14 awalaga otino, “Mundeetiire omuntu ono mumuingirra mbwe amiire okuwa na areeta erioga mu ewialo. Omwene miire okumugenderezia emberi wiinyu ano, ndeka okutuukra ekintu ekilamu ekia akairwa nakio mu ekiina. 15 Namba Eroode oona ngakamutuukrako ekintu kandi wuno amuiraanie ku ifwe ano. Kiomo mwona muesa okuwona, kiwulao ekia akorre ekikagera akengerwe ekiina ekia olumbe. 16 Kutio, nyiza okumuswawuka kandi musiwule agie.” 17 Mu omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka, omwaka ki omwaka, Pilaato yasugananga awasiwurre omusiwe omulala.

18 Ni woona waaogerera wukalu no omwoyo omulala watino, “Mututooleko omuntu ono aemeo! Tusiwurre Barabaasi!” 19 Barabaasi yawanga na ateerwe mu owusiwe ku okureeta erioga ku omugizi omunene ao, no okuita omuntu.

20 Pilaato kandi yawaiyemba, aeniki mu omwoyo gwae yaagalanga asiwule Yesu. 21 Ni iwo waagia emberi ni waogerera watino, “*Muwambe! Muwambe ku *omusalaaba!”

22 Yawaiyemba kandi olwa okusatu otino, “Kolaki? Niki ekia akorre ekisugre no olumbe? Inze ngʼankamutuukrako ekintu ekiwi ekisugre no olumbe. Kutio, nyiza okumuta aswawukwe, nikuemao musiwule agie.”

23 Ni iwo waaogerera wukalu ni wanigirizia mbwe Yesu awambwe ku omusalaaba, kandi erioga riawu riagera wakira. 24 Kutio Pilaato yakenga ekiina mbwe wakorrwe kiomo waagalanga. 25 Yasiwula omuntu owa waamusawa, owawanga na ateerwe mu owusiwe ku okureeta erioga ku omugizi omunene no okuita omuntu. Ni yata Yesu mu amakono gaawu kugere wamukorre kiomo waagalanga.*

Okuwambwa okwa Yesu ku omusalaaba

(Math 27:32–44; Mari 15:21–32; Yowa 19:17–27)

26 Ni waagianga nae, waagaana Simioni omuntu owa Kureene na aema olugendo enze, kandi kuno kwatuukra na aingira ku omugizi ogwo. Waamutwika omusalaaba ogwa Yesu na amaani, okuguginga na aema enyima wa Yesu. 27 Omurima omunene ogwa awantu gwamulonda, ni warimo awakazi awaamurranga ni wakuba enkweri. 28 Yesu yagaluka kandi awalaga otino, “Inywe awaala awa Yerusaleemu, mureke okundira. Ni muirre inywe aweene, kandi murre awaana wiinyu.* 29 Aeniki enyinga ziiza ezia muuza okuwoola mutino, ‘Wari ne enkawi awakazi awaataiwula, enda ezitaaginga awaana, kandi embeere ezitaanuunia!’* 30 Nikuemao waaza okugamba-gamba ne ewigiri mbwe, ‘Mutugweko!’ Kandi warilaga ewigiri ewitono mbwe wiwasanikre!†* 31 Aeniki, ni kuri mbwe awantu wakola wino no omuti gukiari omuwisi, katio muingirizia mbwe niki ekiiza okuikola no omuti ogukarre?”**

32 Awantu wawiri wandi, awaawanga awooni awakianyaanya, woona waairwa nae okugia okuitwa. 33 Olwa waatuuka asi aetwa mbwe Ekiyanga ekia Omutwe, waamuwamba ku omusalaaba ao alala na awooni wawiri awo, omulala nyakukono okusaaza no owundi nyakukono okumosi.* 34 Yesu yawoola otino, “Soifu, warekere, aeniki ngawamanyire ekia wakola.” Kandi waagawana enguwo ziae ku okukuba ensiiti.*

35 Awantu waimerra ao ni wawona ekiaikolanga; na awakangasi waawu iwo waamusekera ne ekirega watino, “Mbwe yanunula awandi, iye oona ainunuleko reero, ni kuri mbwe nio *Kristo, Omulowole owa Katonda!”

36 Awalangra awo woona waamurigizra amangʼana ni wamusekera. Waatoola amalwa amalulu pe watanika okumu-aa mbwe anywe** 37 ni wamulaga watino, “Ni kuri mbwe ni iwue omwami owa Awayaudi, inunulako omwene!”

38 Riawangao ibaawu nyamutwe gwae kungulu ku omusalaaba eriajojwa otino: ono nio omwami owa awayaudi.*

39 Omulala ku awooni awakianyaanya owaawamba nae, yamurigizra amanyego otino, “Kane ngori Meesia? Inunulako omwene kandi twona otununule!”* 40 No omwina waae yamugaania otino, “Iwue ngotiire Katonda, aeniki tukengeerwe ekiina owufwanani nae? 41 Ifwe okwifu kisugre ne enkola ziifu embiiwi, no omuntu ono iye kiwulao ekiwi ekia akorre.” 42 Nikuemao yamulaga otino, “Yesu onyingirizie olwa oriiza mu owuami wuao.”

43 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Nkulaga kuwuene, mbwe reero ooza okuwa ni inze mu Paradiiso.”†

Okufwa okwa Yesu ku omusalaaba

44 Ziawanga katio enyinga ezia mukaaga, kandi ekierema kia-amba ekialo kiona nawuno kutuuka enyinga ezia kienda, 45 aeniki enyanga yareka okuwala. Kandi epasia eya mu *ekaalu yatanduka aa kawiri.* 46 Nikuemao Yesu yaeterezia no omwoyo oguri kungulu otino, “Soifu, nteere omwoyo gwange mu amakono gaao.” Olwa yamala okuwoola amangʼana gano, yakewa enkolo.*

47 Olwa omukangasi owa awa-iiye yawona ewiaikola wino, yatondowola Katonda kandi awoola otino, “Kuwuene, omuntu ono kane yawanga omweru!”* 48 Kandi olwa awantu woona awaikumia ao okuwona ekiagianga okuikola waawona agaikola gano, waaiamba ni wari no owululu, wafuma ni wagia. 49 Awantu woona awaawanga ni wamanyire Yesu alala na awakazi awaamulonda okuemera Galiili waawanga ni waimeriire ale ni wawona ewiaikolanga wino.*

Owuawizi owua Yesu mu iwuuta

(Math 27:57–61; Mari 15:42–47; Yowa 19:38–42)

50-51 Yawangao omuntu wundi oetwa Yoseefu owaemanga ku omugizi ogwa Awayaudi oguetwa Arimathea mu ekitemo ekia Yudeea. Yawanga omuntu omulootu kandi omulongoole, owarindirranga okuuza okwa *Owuami owua Katonda. Yawanga omulala ku awagaaka awa oluwuga, ni iye yagawukana na awiinae ku ewintu ewia waawisia kandi ewia waakolanga wino.* 52 Omuntu ono yagia ku Pilaato amusawa omuwiri ogwa Yesu kandi Pilaato yamuganyira. 53 Nikuemao, yagia aguiisia ansi aguwasaania ne ekitambaaya, kandi oguingizia mu iwuuta iyia eriawanga ni riawirwe mu iwaale, aa omuntu wundi yawanga na akiari okuawirwamo.* 54 Wuawanga owuire owua okuikagra *Sabato, kandi Sabato yawanga ne eri ampi okutanika.

55 Awakazi awaawanga ni waemere ni Yesu Galiili waria waawalonda, kandi wawona owuina owuo ni kiomo omuwiri gwae gwateewua omwo. 56 Nikuemao waafuma wagia engo kandi waikazia emiti na amavuta agawunya esaami aga okuuza okuwaka nago omuwiri ogwa Yesu. Ni waawuluuka olwa Sabato kiomo *ensikirra yaagalanga.*

Okuziuka okwa Yesu

(Math 28:1–10; Mari 16:1–8; Yowa 20:1–10)

1 Nyanga olwa omudiira ogwa okuwiri kunkio ino, awakazi awo waagia ku ekiwaga ekia Yesu, ni wagingre emiti na amavuta agawunya esaami aga waaikazia. 2 Waatuukra oguwaale ni gugalangasiiwue gutoorrwe ku omunwa ogwa iwuuta. 3 No olwa waaingira, ngawakatuukra omuwiri ogwa Yesu omwo. 4 Ni waawanga ni wakialuguula ekingʼana ekio, waaizukira awantu awawiri awaiwooye enguwo enzeru zerre ni waimeriire ampi nawo. 5 Owuti wuawa-amba kandi waafunamia emitwe ansi. Nikuemao awantu awo waawalaga watino, “Ekigera ni muagala omulamu agati eya awafu niki? 6 Muingirizie ekia yawalaga ni yawanga na akiari Galiili,* 7 mbwe *Omuzia owa Omuntu ariteewua mu amakono aga awantu awooni, kandi *ariwambwa ku omusalaaba afwe, no owuire owua okusatu ariziuka.”* 8 Nikuemao waaingirizia amangʼana aga yawalaga ago.

9 Olwa waairana ni waema ku ekiwaga, waalaga *awatumwa ikumi ni mulala, alala na awalonzi wandi woona, ewintu wino wiona. 10 Maaria omwala owa Eumagidaala, ni Yoani, ni Maaria ngʼinwawu Yakoobo na awakazi wandi awaawanga nawo, waalaga awatumwa amangʼana gano.* 11 Ni iwo waatoola amangʼana aga awakazi awo ki amangʼana aga owusa, kandi waagalowa wasiriisia.* 12 Kukawa kutio, Petro iye yafuma arukumuka na agia ku ekiwaga. Yaikirra awarra munsi kandi awona ewitambaaya ewieru ni wiriao wusa, kandi yairana ku omugizi na aluguula ekiaikola kino.

Yesu afumiire awalonzi waae ku engira egia Emausi

(Mari 16:12–13)

13 Owuire wuazane owuo, awalonzi wawiri waawanga ku engira ni wagia mu ekitemo ekietwa mbwe Emausi, ekiri emaeli musamvu okuema Yerusaleemu. 14 Waagamba-gambanga alala ni wawoola ewintu wiona ewiawanga ni wiikorre ampi. 15 Ni waawanga ni wakiagamba-gamba ku amangʼana ago, Yesu yawaazako atanika okugenda-genda nawo alala. 16 Ni waawiswa aa ngawakaesanga okumumanya.*

17 Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Ekia mugamba-gambako ni mugenda-genda kino niki?”

Waimerra kalala, ewieni wiawu ni wilagana okuwula kwawu no owusangaavu. 18 Omulala, ku eriina Kiliopaasi, yamuirania ne embuuzio otino, “Kane iwue engʼene ni iwue omugeni otamanyire ewintu ewimiire okuikola Yerusaleemu wuangu ano?”

19 Yesu yawawuuzia mbwe, “Ewintuki ewio?”

Waamuirania watino, “Ewintu ewia izuuzi wiaikorra Yesu Omunazareeti. Yawanga *omugambi owa amaani amangi ku amangʼana aga yawoolanga ne ewintu ewia yakolanga emberi wa Katonda na awantu woona.* 20 Awakangasi awa *awoozia alala na awakangasi wiifu izuuzi waamuingirra kugera akengerwa ekiina ekia olumbe, kandi wamuwamba ku *omusalaaba. 21 Ni ifwe twawanga no okuganya mbwe iye nio owaazanga okununula Awaisraeli. Nyingeeno no owuire owua okusatu okuemera ewintu wino wiikole.* 22 Owukirre ago, awiina wiifu wandi awekikazi watuluguuzie na amangʼana mbwe wagiire ku ekiwaga reero kunkio ku amagambaazi, 23 ni wareka okutuukra omuwiri gwae! Mbwe wawuine owusasuko owua *enyankoi awawalagre mbwe Yesu ari omulamu. 24 Nikuemao awiina wiifu awandi wagiire paka ku ekiwaga kandi wakituukra mala kiomo awakazi awo watulagre, ni ngawakawona omuwiri gwae.”*

25 Yawalaga otino, “Muri awasiru awafwana watie, kandi muri awa emioyo emizito okuganya amangʼana aga awagambi wamiire okuwoola! 26 Kane *Kristo ngayawanga mbwe paka ainyaasie ku ewintu wino nikwo aingire mu owunene wuae?”* 27 Kandi yawalaga amangʼana goona agari mu endagano agamugamba-gambako, okutanikra ku Muusa na awagambi woona.*

28 Olwa waatuuka ampi no omugizi ogwa Emausi ogwa waagiangako, Yesu yaikola ki owita okugia emberi. 29 Ni waamuiyemba ni wamulaga watino, “Ingira owe ano ni ifwe, aeniki ekisirisiri mpano ki-ingira, kandi owuire mpano wuwuirre.” Kutio, yaingira aweera ao nawo.

30 Ni yawanga na aria ku emeesa nawo, yatoola omukaati, airania otioo nikwo agugenyula, kandi atanika okuwagawira.* 31 Nikuemao amiiso gaawu gaaiguka wamumanya, kandi ao-ao yateeka mu amiiso gaawu. 32 Waaiwuuzia aweene watino, “Awiifu, owuolu ngawuwerenga ni wuizuuzie emioyo giifu enyinga ziona ezia awerenga na agamba-gamba ni ifwe ku engira, na atunawurra amangʼana agari mu endagano eya Katonda?”

33 Waaema kalala wairana Yerusaleemu wagia watuukra eyo awatumwa ikumi ni mulala waria, na awandi awaawanga nawo ni waikumre alala 34 ni wawoola watino, “Kuri kuwuene! Omwami aziukre, kandi afumiire Simioni amuwona.”* 35 Nikuemao awawiri wano woona waawalaga ekiawaikorra ku engira, kandi kiomo waamanyirizia Yesu olwa yawagenyurra omukaati.*

Yesu afumiizie owutumwa owunene

(Math 28:16–20; Mari 16:14–18; Yowa 20:19–23)

36 Ni waawanga ni wakiawoola amangʼana gano, waaizukira ni Yesu omwene aimeriire agati yaawu kandi awakeezia.

37 Waazinduka amasaai kandi owuti wuwa-amba ni waingirizia mbwe wawuine ekiiruuzia.* 38 Yawalaga otino, “Ekigera ni muinyaasia mu emioyo giinyu kandi no okutaganya kuwa mu emioyo giinyu niki? 39 Muwarre amakono gange na amagulu gange mumanye mbwe ono ni inze! Mumpambe muwone mbwe ngʼandi ekiiruuzia, aeniki ekiiruuzia kiwula ne enyama ne ewigumba kiomo ndi ntino.”*

40 Olwa yamala okuwoola amangʼana gano, yawalaga embala eziawanga ku amakono na amagulu gaae.* 41 Waawanga ni wakiari ni kaoozi, ne eno ni waizuule no owusangaavu alala no okuluguula. Yesu yawawuuzia otino, “Mberi muri ne ekintu ano ekia tukaria?” 42 Waatoola emvwa ensambe wamu-aa, 43 kandi yagitoola agiria emberi waawu.*

44 Yawalaga otino, “Wino niwio ewintu ewia nyawalaga olwa nyawanga ni inywe: Ewintu wiona ewiajojwa ku inze mu *ensikirra ezia Muusa alala ne ebuuki ezia awagambi ni mu Zabuuri wiona wiawanga mbwe paka wituuke kuwuene.”*

45 Nikuemao yaigulao amongo gaawu kugere wawurre amangʼana agari mu endagano.* 46 Yawalaga otino, “Ni ntino kwajojwa, mbwe Kristo arinyaasiwua kandi afwe, no owuire owua okusatu ariziuka aeme ku awafu.* 47 Kandi mbwe okugaluka okureka amawi no okurekerwa amawi kuuza okulanziwua ku eriina riae ku awantu awa ewialo wiona, okutanikra Yerusaleemu.* 48 Inywe muri awawoni awa ewintu wino.* 49 Ngia okuwatumra ekintu ekia Soifu yawaifuuwira. Ni mutafuma Yerusaleemu ano nawuno mutuukre amaani agaema ku igulu.”**

Yesu aguluuke agiire ku igulu

(Mari 16:19; Awat 1:9–11)

50 Olwa yamala okuwafumia awaira enze ampi no omugizi ogwa Bethania, yaginga amakono gaae kungulu awasereka. 51 Ni yawaserekanga otio, yawaemako awareka, kandi yatoolwa aniiniwua ku igulu.* 52 Nikuemao waamusawa kandi wairana Yerusaleemu no owusangaavu owungi.* 53 Kandi waaweera mu *ekaalu enyinga ziona ni watondowola Katonda.*

Yaagalanga mbwe awantu awagisoma waganye mbwe Yesu *Kristo nio *Meesia, Omuzia owa Katonda, kugere watuukre owulamu owutariwua ku okuganya ku Yesu oyo (20:31). Mu ebuuki eno, Yowaana alagana owulamu ne empurizanio eya Yesu yawanga nayo ni Katonda ni yawanga na akiari okuuza ku ekialo (1:1–3).

Ingʼana eriairana riwa omuntu

1 Mu owutanikro, ingʼana riawangao. Ingʼana riawanga ni Katonda kandi ingʼana riazane erio riawanga Katonda. 2 Okuemera mu owutanikro, ingʼana rino rimiire okuwaao ni Katonda.* 3 Ewintu wiona wiawaao mala ni kuwita ku ingʼana, kandi kiwulao-uwula ekintu ekiawaao ni kutawitiire ku iye.* 4 Ingʼana riesana owulamu kandi owulamu owuo wuri owueru owumurikra awantu woona.* 5 Owueru wuwala mu ekierema ekiri mu ekialo, ni kukawa kutio, ekierema ekio ngakiesa okuwuzimia. 6 Ario omuntu owa Katonda yatuma ku awantu. Omuntu ono yaetwanga mbwe Yowaana.* 7 Yaaza okulaga awantu amangʼana aga owueru owuo kugere ku amangʼana gaae, ni kuesekana, awantu woona waganye ku owueru wuazane. 8 Iye omwene ngakawanga owueru owuo yaaya, ni yaaza mala okulaga awantu amangʼana ku owueru owuo.* 9 Owueru owua kuwuene wuno, owumurikra awantu woona, wuazanga ku ekialo.*

10 Yawanga ku ekialo, ni kukawa mbwe ekialo kialukwa ni kuwita ku iye, awantu awa ku ekialo ngawakamumanyirizia.* 11 Yaaza ku awantu waae omwene, na awaae awo ngawakamuingizia. 12 Na awantu woona awaamuingizia kandi awaaganya ku eriina riae, yawa-aa amaani aga okuwa awaana awa Katonda.* 13 Yaaya, ngʼana awaana awaaiwulwa mu engira eya amasaai, nakuwa mu okuagala okwa omuntu nakuwa omusaaza, ni na awaana awa Katonda nio ogerre ni wawa awaana waae.*

14 Ingʼana riawa omuntu kandi riamenya agati iifu. Tumiire okuwona owunene wuae — owunene owua omulala engʼene owaaza na aema ku Soifu Katonda, na aizuule no owusiza no owuene.* 15 Yowaana na amugamba-gambako aogerera na awoola otino, “Ono nio owa nyawanga ni ngamba-gambako olwa nyawoola mbwe, ‘Omuntu ooza enyima wange, ankirre ale aeniki yasooka okuwaao inze ni nkiari.’ ”* 16 Ee, ni kuema ku owusiza wuae owungi, tumiire okutuukra ensereki enyingi okukira eya twawanga nayo enyima. 17 Kuri kutio aeniki *ensikirra ziaezaniwua ni kuwitra ku Muusa, no owusiza no owuene wiaza ni kuwitra ku Yesu *Kristo.* 18 Awulao-uwula omuntu omiire okuwona Katonda, ogawuuke no Omuzia owa Katonda omulala engʼene, oisigikaane ni Katonda Soifu. Iye nio omiire okugera awantu ni wamanya Soifu Katonda.*

Ekiagera Yowaana Omubatiisi na abatiisa awantu

19 Kino nikio ekintu ekia Yowaana yawoola olwa awakangasi awa ediini eya *Awayaudi awa ku omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu waamutumra *awoozia na *Awalaawi okumuwuuzia owa yawanga. 20 Yowaana ngakalowa okuwairania, ni yawoola owuigoloole geeza otino, “Inze ngʼandi *Meesia yaaya.”

21 Kutio waamuwuuzia kandi watino, “Kane ori anu? Ni iwue Eliija oiraane ku ekialo?” Yowaana yawairania mbwe, “Yaaya ngʼani inze.” Waamuwuuzia kandi watino, “Kusi ni iwue *Omugambi owa Katonda owa tumiire okuwa ni turindirra?”† Ni Yowaana yawairania kandi na awoola mbwe, “Yaaya ngʼandi iye.”* 22 Owutuukre, waamuwuuzia watino, “Katio ni iwue anu kane? Tulage kugere tutuukre ekia tugia okulaga awatutumre. Iwue, ekia okaiwoolako omwene niki?”

23 Yowaana yawairania na amangʼana aga Isaaya omugambi owa Katonda otino, “Ni inze omwoyo ogwa omuntu oetana mu ekeewa na awoola mbwe, ‘Mugolole engira eya Omwami ewe enyigolovu.’ ”

24 Awantu awaatumwa ni waema ku *Awafarisaayo waria 25 waamuwuuzia watino, “Ekigera no obatiisa awantu katio niki, ni kandi ngori Eliija, namba Meesia, ni lwona ngori Omugambi?”

26 Yowaana yawairania otino, “Inze mbabatiisa na amanzi, na ario omuntu agati iinyu owa mutamanyire. 27 Oyo nio omuntu ooza enyima wange, owa ngʼasugre namba okusiwula engoe ezia ewiraato wiae.”*

28 Ewintu wino wiona wiaikola Bethania, eri nyaluwega olwa ewufumanyanga eya oluuzi olwa Yordaani, aa Yowaana yabatiisanga awantu.*

Yesu Ekimaatwa ekia Katonda

29 Owuire owualondako Yowaana yawona Yesu na amuuzako ampi. Yalaga awa yawanga nawo otino, “Muwoneko, ono nie Ekimaatwa ekia Katonda ekitoolao amawi aga ekialo.* 30 Ni iye owa nyagamba-gambrengako olwa nyawoolanga mbwe, ‘Omuntu ooza enyima wange, ankirre ale aeniki yasooka okuwaao inze ni nkiari.’* 31 Omwene ngʼanyakawanga ni manyire mbwe ni iye Meesia, ni nyaaza okubatiisa awantu na amanzi kugere Awaisraeli wamumanye.”

32 Nikuemao, Yowaana yamuwoolako owuyanga otino, “Nyawona *Omwoyo Omweru na aika okuema ku igulu mu embonekano eya iemba-emba, mala rimugwiriirako.* 33 Katonda owantuma mbwe mbatiise awantu na amanzi, arekeko okundaga mbwe, ‘Omuntu owa oriwona Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda na agwiriirako, oyo nio omuntu ooza okubatiisa awantu no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda,’ ngʼankamumanyiriizie mbwe ni iye Meesia. 34 Miire okuwona ekintu ekio ni kimwikolako, kandi mboola owuyanga mbwe ono nio Omuzia owa Katonda.”*

Awalonzi awa Yesu awa kuluweri

35 Enkio walwo, Yowaana yawanga alala ao na awalonzi waae wawiri. 36 Olwa yawona Yesu na awita, yawoola otino, “Muwoneko, oria nio Ekimaatwa ekia Katonda!”*

37 Olwa awalonzi waae wawiri wano waamuwurra na awoola otio, waatanika okulonda Yesu. 38 Yesu yawarra enyima, awona ni wamulonda mala awawuuzia otino, “Ekia muagala niki?”

Waamuirania ni wamuwuuzia watino, “Rabii, omenyerei?” (‘Rabii’ rilagana mbwe ‘Omugerezi’) 39 Yesu yawairania otino, “Muuze muwone.” Kutio waagia nae wawona aa yawanga na amenyere kandi waweera ao nae owuire owuo. Waagia nae ni zigia okutuuka enyinga ine ezia kunkio.†

40 Omulala ku awalonzi awa Yowaana owawurra ekia Yowaana yawoola mala atanika okulonda Yesu ono, yawanga Andereeya wamwawu Simioni Petro. 41 Ekia Andereeya yasooka okukola, no okuagala wamwawu waae Petro, kandi olwa yamutuukra yamulaga otino, “Tutuukiire Meesia!” (‘Meesia’ ne ekingʼana ekia Oluibrania ekilagana mbwe ‘Kristo, omulowole owa Katonda.’)* 42 Nikuemao yatoola Petro aira ku Yesu. Olwa waamutuukra, Yesu yamuwariira aemao amulaga otino, “Iwue ni Simioni omuzia owa Yowaana. Ni, ooza okuetwa ne eriina ‘*Keefa’ erigalusiwua mbwe Petro.” (‘Petro’ ne ekingʼana ekia Olugiriiki ekilagana mbwe ‘olutare.’)**

Yesu aetre Piliipo ni Nathanieli

43 Enkio walwo, Yesu yawona mbwe agie Galiili. Yagia atuukra Piliipo amulaga otino, “Ndonde.”

44 Piliipo yoona yaemanga ku omugizi ogwa Bethsaida aa Petro ni Andereeya woona waaemanga. 45 Piliipo yagia atuukra Nathanieli amulaga otino, “Nathanieli, mwakuuno tutuukiire omuntu owa Muusa yajojako mu ensikirra kandi owa awagambi awa Katonda woona waajojako. Omuntu wazane aetwa Yesu, omuzia owa Yoseefu, Omunazareeti.”*

46 Nathanieli yamuirania otino, “Owoola mbwe Omunazareeti? Lwona kirio ekilootu ekikaema Nazareeti?” Piliipo yamulaga otino, “Iza owone kane.”

47 Olwa Yesu yawona Nathanieli na aaza ampi, yamulaga otino, “Awiifu muwoneko Omuisraeli omwene-omwene owulamo owuweeyi.”

48 Nathanieli yawuuzia Yesu otino, “Iwue oreetere otie okummanya?” Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “Nkuwuine olwa owerenga no okiaikaale ansi ku omukuyu aaria, Piliipo na akiari okukueta.”

49 Nikuemao, Nathanieli yairania Yesu na amulaga otino, “Omugerezi, kane ori Omuzia owa Katonda kuwuene! Ni iwue Omwami owa Awaisraeli.”*

50 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Owuo oweere no okuganya aeniki nkulagre mbwe nkuwuine no okiaikaale ansi ku omukuyu? Ooza okuwona ewintu ewikate-kaate okukira ago.” 51 Yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Kuwuene-kuwuene, mbalaga mbwe muuza okuwona igulu ni ri-iguka kandi ne *enyankoi awa Katonda waniina kandi ni waika ku *Omuzia owa Omuntu.”*

Amankono aga Yesu yasooka okukola

1 Owuire owua okusatu, okuemera ao, omugomo ogwa okukwezana gwaikola ku omugizi ogwa Kaana mu ekialo ekia Galiili. Ngʼinwawu Yesu yawanga mu omugomo ogwo 2 kandi Yesu na awalonzi waae woona waaetwamo. 3 Olwa awantu waanywa edivaai wamala chwe, ngʼinwawu Yesu yamugiako amulaga otino, “Edivaai ewuere chwe, ewulao esigaale.”

4 Yesu yairania ngʼinwae otino, “Yaaya, ngʼinaifu, ngosugaane ondage ekia nsugaane nkole. Enyinga ziange zikiari okutuuka.”* 5 Nikuemao ngʼinwawu Yesu yalaga awemirimo otino, “Mukole ekintu-ukintu ekia awalagre mbwe mukole.”

6 *Awayaudi waawanga ne engira ezia waasawirangamo Katonda. Waawanga ne endagirra ezia kiomo omuntu yaesanga okuieruyia na amanzi. Kutio entamu ezia amanzi enkate-kaate mukaaga ziawanga ao. Entamu ki entamu yaginganga amadebe ataanu-ataanu aga amanzi.* 7 Yesu yalaga awemirimo awo otino, “Muizuzie entamu zino na amanzi.” Kutio awemirimo waazi-izuzia na amanzi du. 8 Nikuemao, Yesu yawalaga otino, “Katio musene amanzi ago mutoole muirre omuntu okangatiire omugomo guno.” Awemirimo waasena amanzi, 9 aga ku enyinga ezio gaawanga ni gamiire okugaluka edivaai, mala wairra omukangasi oyo agia agusa. Ngakamanya aa edivaai eyo yawanga ne eemere. (Na awemirimo iwo waamanya aeniki niwo awaawanga ni waturre amanzi ago.) Nikuemao omukangasi oyo yaeta ngʼina owukwe amulaga 10 otino, “Kangi awantu wasooka wa-aa awageni edivaai endootu, ni, ni wamiire okunywa katio wadungʼre, nikwo waaesana edivaai etari endootu. Ni iwue ogiire owiika edivaai endootu nawuno nyingeeno!”

11 Amankono agaasooka gano Yesu yagakorra ku omugizi ogwa Kaana mu ekialo ekia Galiili. Ao otio Yesu yalagana owunene wuae kandi awalonzi waae waawa no okuganya ku iye.* 12 Nikuemao, Yesu yaika agia Kapernaumu alala ni ngʼinwae, waamwawu na awalonzi waae, kandi waweera eyo ku amiire amatono.*

Yesu arumuusie awaguzi mu ekaalu olwa kuluweri

13 Na amiire aga omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka gaawanga ni gari ampi okutuuka, Yesu yaniina agia Yerusaleemu.* 14 Mu olwanyi olwa *ekaalu, yatuukra awantu ni waguzia engʼombe, amagondi na amaemba-emba, kandi awagalusi awa amasendi ni waikaale ku entewe ziawu ezia okugalusia amasendi. 15 Yesu yaluka olukowa olwa engoe atanika okurumusia nalwo awantu woona, alala na amagondi ne engʼombe, na awafumia enze eya ekaalu. Yafulukania emeesa eya awagalusi awa amasendi, amasendi gafugika ansi gataanyika. 16 Yalaga awantu awaaguzianga amaemba-emba otino, “Mutoole ano amaemba-emba giinyu gano, muire ale. Mureeta otie okugalusia enyumba eya Soifu okuwa asi aa okuguzia ewintu!”* 17 Okwo kwagera awalonzi waae waingirizia kiomo kwajojwa mu ebuuki eya Zabuuri mbwe, “Olugonzi olwa ngonziizie nalwo enyumba yaao, Oo *Omwami Katonda, lurinyita.”†

18 Awakangasi awa Awayaudi waamugiako wamuwuuzia watino, “Ooza waakola amankonooki, kituweere ekilago mbwe ori na amaani aga okurumusia awantu wano ano?”

19 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inywe, mugemule ekaalu eno, ni ku amiire asatu nyiza okugiomboka kandi.”*

20 Awakangasi awo waamuiriania watino, “Ekaalu eno yatoola emiaka amakumi ane ni mukaaga ne eombokwa, katio iwue okagiomboka otie ku amiire asatu gengʼene?” 21 Ne ekaalu eya Yesu yagamba-gambangako, yawanga omuwiri gwae omwene. 22 Lunyima, olwa yaziuka okuema ku awafu, awalonzi waae waaingirizia ekingʼana ekia yawoolanga kino. Okwo kwagera wawa no okuganya ku amangʼana agari mu *endagano na amangʼana aga Yesu yawanga na awoorre gano.*

23 Ni Yesu yawanga na akiari Yerusaleemu mu omugomo ogwa Pasaaka, awantu awangi waawa no okuganya ku iye, ku amankono amakate-kaate aga waawonanga na akola.* 24 Ni Yesu ngakaita ku amangʼana gaawu aeniki yawanga na amanyire emioyo egia awantu wano geeza. 25 Kutio, kiawulangao ekikagerre no omuntu amulaga ekiri mu omwoyo ogwa omuntu wundi aeniki iye omwene yawanga na amanyire ekia omuntu ari.

Amangʼana amayia aga Yesu yagerera Nikodeemo

1 Yawangao *Omufarisaayo kandi omulala ku awakangasi owa *Awayaudi, owaetwanga mbwe Nikodeemo.* 2 Nyanga yafuma owuire agia ku Yesu amulaga otino, “Omugerezi, tumanyire mbwe iwue ori omugerezi oemere ku Katonda aeniki awulao omuntu ooza yakola amankono aga okola gano, ni kutari mbwe Katonda ari nae.”* 3 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Nkulaga kuwuene mbwe awulao omuntu oesa okuwona *Owuami owua Katonda na ataiwuulwe okuiwulwa okwa okuwiri.”*

4 Nikodeemo yamuwuuzia otino, “Omuntu akaiwulwa kawiri otie na amiire okuwa omuntu mukulu?” Yagia emberi na amulaga otino, “Kuwuene ngaesa okuingira mu enda eya ngʼinwae amuiwule kandi!”

5 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Nkulaga kuwuene mbwe awulao omuntu oesa okuingira mu Owuami owua Katonda na ataiwuulwe na amanzi kandi no *Omwoyo Omweru.* 6 Omuntu atuukra owulamu wuae owua mu omuwiri okuema ku awiiwuzi waae mu okuiwulwa okwa omuwiri, no owulamu owua mu omwoyo wuema ku Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, mu okuiwulwa okwa omwoyo.* 7 Kutio, ngosugaane oluguule ni nkulaga mbwe, ‘Paka muiwulwe kawiri.’ 8 Kuri mala kiomo omuyaga oguwuuta ni guwariire mala aa guagala. Okuwurra ooza wawurra erioga riagwo, ni ngoesa okumanya aa guema nakuwa aa gugia. Okuiwulwa no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda kwona nintio kufwanana.”

9 Nikodeemo yamuwuuzia otino, “Kino kikaikola otie?”

10 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Amangʼana gano ngagakuingirra otie ni kandi ori omugerezi owa Awaisraeli omanyikaane? 11 Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe ifwe tugamba-gamba ku ewintu ewia tumanyire kandi tulaga awantu ewintu ewia tumiire okuwona na amiiso. Kukawa kutio, inywe ngamuganya ewintu ewia tuwalaga.* 12 Ni mulowa okuganya ni mbalaga ewintu ewia ku ekialo kuno, katio muuza okuwa no okuganya otie ni mbalagre ewintu ewia ku igulu?* 13 Awulao namba omuntu omulala omiire okugia ku igulu ogawuuke no *Omuzia owa Omuntu owaika ansi na aema ku igulu.†* 14 Mala kiomo Muusa yafumuta omufwano ogwa enzoka eya ekiuma ku ekiti, agingirizia kungulu ni wari mu ekeewa, nintio lwona paka Omuzia owa Omuntu yoona aaza okugingiriziwua kungulu,* 15 kugere omuntu-umuntu omuganyireko atuukre owulamu owutariwua.*

Owulamu owutariwua

16 “Aeniki Katonda yagonzia ekialo ino, kugera atuma omuzia waae omulala engʼene, mbwe omuntu-umuntu omuganyireko ataaza yateeka, na atuukre owulamu owutariwua.* 17 Katonda ngakatuma omuzia waae ku ekialo okuuza okukengera ekialo ekiina, ni yamutuma kugere ni kuwita ku iye, awantu awari ku ekialo watuukre owuinunuzi.* 18 Omuntu-umuntu oweere no okuganya ku Omuzia owa Katonda ngarikengerwa ekiina. No olowere okuwa no okuganya ku iye, iye amiire okukengerwa ekiina ilala, aeniki alowere okuwa no okuganya ku omuzia omulala engʼene owa Katonda.* 19 Nintino ekiina kirikengwa: Owueru wuaza ku ekialo, na awantu waagonzia ekierema okukira owueru aeniki enkola ziawu ziawanga embiiwi.* 20 Awantu woona awakola enkola embiiwi waregere owueru kandi ngawaganya okuingira mu owueru. Ngawagala owueru aeniki watia mbwe enkola ziawu embiiwi ziiza okusanukulwa ziwe ku owueru.* 21 No omuntu-umuntu okola ewintu ewiri kuwuene ewia Katonda aganyire nawio, iye aaza ku owueru kugere kuwonekane geeza mbwe ewia akola ewio, awikola okusangaazia Katonda.”

Yowaana Omubatiisi agamba-gamba ku Yesu

22 Nikuemao Yesu yafuma na awalonzi waae agia nawo mu ekialo ekia Yudeea aa yawa nawo ku amiire, na abatiisa awantu. 23 Kuno kwatuukra Yowaana oona na abatiisa awantu Aenooni, a-ampi ni Saliimi aeniki amanzi gaawanga ao amangi kandi awantu awangi waamugiangako kugere awabatiise. 24 (Okwo kwatuukra ni Yowaana yawanga na akiari okuteewua mu owusiwe.)* 25 Okuikululana mu amangʼana kwawaao agati ya awalonzi awa Yowaana no Omuyaudi wundi. Ekiawanyaasianga kiawanga enkola eya *okueruyia omuntu namba ewintu, ku okuwiozia na amanzi. 26 Kutio awalonzi awa Yowaana waamugiako wamulaga watino, “Omugerezi, omuntu owawanga ni iwue engereka eya oluuzi olwa Yordaani, owa nyanga wagamba-gambako geeza oria, mbwe oona nyingeeno abatiisa awantu kandi awantu woona wamugiako.”*

27 Yowaana yawairania otino, “Omuntu aesa okukola mala ekintu ekia Katonda nio omueere amaani aga okukola. 28 Inywe aweene mumanyire geeza kiomo nyawalaga mbwe, ‘Inze ngʼandi *Meesia yaaya. Ni nyatumwa-utumwa emberi waae.’* 29 Mu omugomo ogwa enserezi, omuzia ogia okukwa nio omwene omweya. Omwiko waae owekizia omwimeriire, atega amatwi na amurindirra kandi awa ne ekisangaalo ino na awurra omwoyo ogwa ngʼina omweya. Owusangaavu owuo niwuo owua ndi nawuo kandi nyingeeno katio omwoyo gwange guizuule du no owusangaavu.* 30 Iye paka asonge okuwa no owunene okunkira, ni inze owunene wuange wuirane enyima.”

Omuntu oemere ku igulu

31 Omuntu oemere ku igulu akirre awantu woona. No omuntu oemere ku ekialo, ari owa ku ekialo kandi agamba-gamba mala kiomo oema ku ekialo kuno. Omuntu oemere ku igulu akirre woona.* 32 Agamba-gamba ku ewintu ewia amiire okuwurra kandi ewia amiire okuwona. Ni kukawa kutio, awatono ino niwo awaganya amangʼana aga awoola.* 33 Omuntu oganya nago alagana kuwuene mbwe Katonda ari kuwuene. 34 Ni kutio aeniki omuntu owa Katonda atumre awoola amangʼana aga Katonda kandi iye nio Katonda a-aa Omwoyo gwae Omweru kuwungi owukirre. 35 Katonda Ise agonziizie Omuzia waae kandi amiire okuta ewintu wiona mu amakono gaae.* 36 Omuntu-umuntu oweere no okuganya ku Omuzia owa Katonda, ari no owulamu owutariwua. No omuntu-umuntu olowa Omuzia owa Katonda ngarituukra owulamu owuo yawa, aeniki Katonda aaza okuwaao na amuswawuka no okusu amiire goona.*

Omukazi Omusamaria aweere no okuganya ku Yesu

1 Yesu yamanya mbwe *Awafarisaayo waawanga ni wamiire okuwurra mbwe yawanga na agalusia awantu awangi okuwa awalonzi waae okukira Yowaana, kandi mbwe yawabatiisanga. 2 (Kukawa kutio, Yesu omwene ngakabatiisanga, na awalonzi waae niwo awaabatiisanga awantu.)* 3 Okwo kwagera Yesu afuma aema Yudeea, airana mu ekialo ekia Galiili.

4 Kugere atuuke Galiili, kwamunigirizianga mbwe paka awitre mu ekialo ekia Samaria. 5 Yagia nawuno atuuka ku omugizi ogwa Sukaar, mu ekialo ekia Samaria. Omugizi guno gwawanga a-ampi ni ilowa eria Yakoobo ya-aa omuzia waae Yoseefu.* 6 Ekituko ekia Yakoobo kiawanga asi ao, kandi Yesu owawanga na amiire okugenda-genda alwire, yagia aikala kuntulo eya ekituko ekio. Ziawanga ni zimiire okuingira enyinga mukaaga ezia omuwasu.*

7 Omukazi *Omusamaria yaaza ao okusena amanzi. Yesu yamusawa otino, “No oganyire mpeeko amanzi nywe.” 8 (Okwo kwatuukra na awalonzi waae wagiire okugula okuria ku omugizi.)

9 Omukazi oyo yamuirania otino, “Iwue *Omuyaudi oreeta otie okunsawa inze Omusamaria amanzi aga okunywa?” (Kwawanga omuziro ku Awayaudi okuizogaana na Awasamaria, nakuwa okukola ne ekintu-ukintu kiomo ewinywerwako namba ewiriirwako, ni kuri mbwe Omusamaria akiambreko.)*

10 Yesu yamuirania na amulaga otino, “Mukaziiwue, kuweeko mbwe omanyire empanwa eya Katonda aezania kandi omanyeko owa ndi inze okusawa amanzi ono, kangato ni iwue onsawire kugere nku-ee amanzi agareeta owulamu.”*

11 Omukazi oyo yamuirania otino, “Omukangasi, nkuwona no owula ne ewia okasenera amanzi, ne ekituko kino ne ekiliire. Amanzi agareeta owulamu aga owoola ago, ooza okugatoolai? 12 Kusi, iwue okirre guukwa iifu Yakoobo owatu-aa ekituko kino? Iye omwene na awazia waae alala ne emiandu giawu, woona ngawakanywera mu ekituko kino?”*

13 Yesu yamuirania na amulaga otino, “Owurra, omuntu-umuntu onywa amanzi aga mu ekituko kino aaza okuwurra owulwo kandi, 14 no omuntu onywere amanzi aga nyesana, iye ngariwurra owulwo kandi! Amanzi aga nyesana ago gaaza okuwa ki ekisulo ekitakamiira, ekifumia amanzi agareeta owulamu owutariwua.”*

15 Omukazi oyo yairania Yesu otino, “Omukangasi, okaganya ompeeko amanzi ago, ntawurra owulwo kandi. Okwo kuuza okugera ndeke okuweerako ni nyiza ano okusena amanzi kusa-kusa.”*

16 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Gia oete omusaaza waao, oirane ano nae.”

17 Omukazi oyo yamuirania otino, “Inze mbula no omusaaza.” Yesu yamuirania otino, “No owoorre mbwe owula no omusaaza, ao otio owoorre kuwuene. 18 Ee, omiire okuwa na awasaaza wataanu, kandi namba omusaaza owa omenyere nae nyingeeno oona ngʼari omusaaza waao yaaya. Kutio, ao owoorre kuwuene.”

19 Omukazi oyo yamuirania otino, “Omukangasi, ni nkuwariira, mbona mbwe ori *omugambi.* 20 Ifwe Awasamaria, waaguukwa wiifu waasawanga Katonda ku ekigiri kino. Ni inywe Awayaudi muwoola mbwe Yerusaleemu engʼene nio asi aa awantu wasugaane wasawire Katonda.”*

21 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Mukaziiwue, ganya ni inze ni nkulaga mbwe amiire gaaza aga awantu ngawarisawa Katonda Ise Yerusaleemu namba ku ekigiri kino engʼene. 22 Inywe Awasamaria musawa owa mutamanyire. Ni ifwe Awayaudi tusawa Katonda owa tumanyire aeniki omununuzi aema ku Awayaudi.* 23 Amiire gaaza kandi gamiire okutuuka, aga awantu awasawa Katonda kuwuene waaza okumusawa na amaani agawaeerwe no *Omwoyo Omweru kandi mu engira eri kuwuene esugre ni kiomo ari. Awo niwo awa Katonda Ise aagala mbwe wamusawe. 24 Nintio aeniki Katonda ari omwoyo omusa, kutio omuntu oagala okumusawa paka amusawe na amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru kandi mu engira eri kuwuene esugre nae.”*

25 Omukazi oyo yamuirania otino, “Manyire mbwe *Meesia aaza okuuza” (eriina Meesia mu omunwa gundi ni *Kristo). “Na aaza okuuza, aaza okutulaga owuene owua amangʼana gano goona.”*

26 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Inze ogamba-gamba ni iwue ono, ni inze iye.”*

27 Ku enyinga ezio awalonzi awa Yesu waairana ni waema okugula okuria ku omugizi kandi waawa no okuluguula ino olwa waatuukra ni Yesu agamba-gamba no omukazi owa Awasamaria. Kukawa kutio, awulao owamuwuuzia ekia yamuagalangako nakuwa ekia yawoolanga nae. 28 Nikuemao, omukazi oyo yareka ao enswa yaae eya amanzi airana ku omugizi atanika okulaga awantu awa ku omugizi ogwo otino, 29 “Awiifu muuze muwoneko omuntu ondagre enkola ziange ziona ezia miire okuweerako ni nkola okuema ri! Muingirizia mbwe akawa Meesia?” 30 Awantu waafuma ku omugizi ogwo wagia aa Yesu yawanga.

31 Mu iwaga erio kwatuukra na awalonzi awa Yesu wamuisasaama ni wamulaga watino, “Omugerezi toolako okuria orie!” 32 Ni iye yawairania otino, “Ndi no okuria okwa inywe mutamanyire.”

33 Awalonzi awo waatanika okuiwuuzia agati yaawu aweene watino, “Kusi ario omuntu omiire okumu-aa okuria ariire?”

34 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inze okuria kwange no okukola okuagala okwa Katonda owantuma no okumariizia emirimo giae egia yampa mbwe nkole.* 35 Awantu ngawawoola mbwe, ‘Kutoola emienzi ine okuemera mu ikomera, nikwo awantu watanike igesa?’ Mbalaga mbwe muginge amiiso giinyu muwoneko kiomo emere elawire mu omusiri kandi esugre okugeswa!* 36 Omuntu ogesa aoloolwa ku emirimo giae kandi awakunza na awaira mu owulamu owutariwua. Kutio omuntu okomeere no omuntu ogesere, woona waaza okusangaala alala. 37 Kane kuri kuwuene na awantu wawoola mbwe, ‘Omuntu omulala akomera, no owundi nio ogesa.’ 38 Mbatumre okugia okugesa emisiri egia mutaarima. Awantu wandi wasaasa niwo awaakola emirimo emikalu, ni inywe nyingeeno ni inywe awatuukra emfuno okuema ku oluuya lwawu.”

39 Awasamaria awangi awa ku omugizi ogwo waawa no okuganya ku Yesu nikulondokana na amangʼana aga omukazi oyo yawoola ku Yesu mbwe, “Andagre enkola ziange ziona ezia miire okuweerako ni nkola okuemera ri.” 40 Kutio olwa Awasamaria waamuuzako, waamuiyemba mbwe aganye aweeko nawo ao ku amiire gandi kandi Yesu yaganya ma awa nawo ku amiire awiri. 41 Ku amangʼana aga Yesu yawagerera, awantu awangi okukira, waawa no okuganya ku iye.* 42 Waalaga omukazi oyo watino, “Nyingeeno katio turi no okuganya ku iye, ni ngʼani ku amangʼana gaao gengʼene yaaya. Aweene tuwuriire amangʼana gaae kandi tumanyire mbwe kuwuene ari Omununuzi owa awantu woona awa ku ekialo kuno.”*

Yesu alamiizie omuzia owa omukangasi

43 Ni Yesu yawanga na amiire okumala amiire awiri Samaria, yafuma ao agia Galiili. 44 Ao kwatuukra ni Yesu yawanga na amiire okuwoola mbwe omugambi ngaeerwe owunene mu ekialo kiawu.* 45 Olwa yatuuka Galiili, awantu awa Galiili waamuingizia geeza. Waakola otio aeniki waawanga ni wamiire okuwona ewintu wiona ewia Yesu yakola Yerusaleemu, mu omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka, ni waawanga mu omugomo ogwo.

46 Yesu yairana ku omugizi ogwa Kaana mu ekitemo ekia Galiili, aa yagalusia amanzi gawa edivaai. Yawangao omukangasi owa esirikaali owa omuzia waae yalwalanga ino ku omugizi ogwa Kapernaumu.* 47 Olwa omukangasi oyo yawurra mbwe Yesu amiire okuema Yudeea airaane Galiili, yamuiyemba mbwe aganye aike agie alamie omuzia waae, aeniki yalwalanga ampi okufwa. 48 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Inywe ni mutawuine amankono ne ewintu ewikate-kaate ewiluguulwa ni wiikola, ngamuesa okuwa no okuganya.”*

49 Omukangasi oyo yamuirania otino, “Awiifu ganya tuike wuangu tuuza twatuukra na amiire okufwa.”

50 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Gia-ugia, omuzia waao aaza okuwa omulamu.” Omuntu oyo yawa no okuganya ku amangʼana aga Yesu, kutio yafuma agia.

51 Ni yawanga ku engira na agia, ya-agaana awemirimo waae awaamulaga watino, “Omuzia waao ari omulamu.” 52 Omuntu oyo yawawuuzia otino, “Yataniike okuwurra geeza mu enyingaaki?” Waamulaga watino, “Yataniike okuwurra geeza izo enyinga musamvu ezia omuwasu.”†

53 Omuntu oyo yagia aingirizia mbwe ezio nizio enyinga ezia Yesu yamulagramo mbwe, “Omuzia waao aaza okuwa omulamu.” Kutio iye alala na awa mu enyumba yaae woona, waawa no okuganya ku Yesu.** 54 Gano nigo amankono aga okuwiri aga Yesu yakola Galiili ni yawanga na amiire okuema Yudeea.*

Yesu alamiizie omuntu mu ekituko ekia Bethsaida

1 Lunyima Yesu kandi yafuma okugia Yerusaleemu mu omulala ku emigomo egia *Awayaudi. 2 Yerusaleemu omwo, ampi ne ekikulo ekia amagondi gaingirra ku omugizi, kiawangao ekituko kindi ekiaetwanga mu Oluibrania mbwe Bethsaida. Ekituko kino kiawanga ni kiombookweko ensala itaanu. 3 Awalwire awatekere awangi, awagingre awawuunu, awarema na awa emiwiri giafwa engʼanzi, waagonanga kuntulo eya ekituko ekio ni warinda amanzi gakuyunziwue. 4 Aeniki gario amiire aga *enyankoi owa Katonda yaazanga mu ekituko omwo okukuyunzia amanzi ago. Amanzi ni gaamala okukuyunguka, omuntu-umuntu owasooka okuingira mu ekituko, yalamanga ku owulwire-uwulwire owua yawanga nawuo.*

5 Omuntu omulala owawanga na amiire okulwala ku emiaka amakumi asatu ni munaane, yoona yawanga ao. 6 Olwa Yesu yamuwona na agonere asi ao kandi amanya mbwe amiire okulwala ku emiaka emingi otio, yamulaga otino, “Iwue, mberi oagala mbwe owe omulamu?”

7 Omuntu oyo yamuirania otino, “Omukangasi, inze mbula no omuntu ooza yanyingizia mu ekituko enyinga ezia amanzi gakuyunziiwue. Inze ni ngeezaania mbwe nyingiremo, ntuukra no omuntu wundi amiire okunsookeramo.”

8 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Ema, otoole iseero riao ogende-gende.” 9 Mu enyinga ezio, omuntu oyo yalama, atoola iseero riae atanika okugenda-genda.

Ekintu kino kiaikola owuire owua *Sabato.** 10 Kutio, awakangasi awa Awayaudi waawuuzia omuntu owalamiwua oyo watino, “Mberi omanyire mbwe reero no owuire owua Sabato kandi mbwe endagirra ngekuganyiire mbwe oginge ekintu-ukintu kugia iseero riao reero?”*

11 Omuntu owalamiwua oyo yawairania otino, “Inze omuntu ondamiizie nio ondagre mbwe, ‘Ema otoole iseero riao ogende-gende.’ ”

12 Awakangasi awo waamuirania ni wamuwuuzia watino, “Naanu oyo okulagre mbwe oginge iseero riao ogende-gende?”

13 No omuntu owalamiwua oyo ngakawanga na amanyire omuntu owamulamia aeniki Yesu yawanga na amiire okumunywenkera mu awantu omwo.*

14 Lunyima Yesu yaaza atuukra omuntu wazane mu *ekaalu amulaga otino, “Ngowona nyingeeno no ori omulamu katio? Kutio rekana no owuoni ilala. Wusa-wusa, ekintu ekiwiiwi ino kiiza kiakuikolako!”*

15 Omuntu oyo yagia alaga awakangasi awa Awayaudi mbwe Yesu nio omulamiizie.

Owulamu owua Yesu Omuzia owa Katonda atureetra

16 Okukola okwa Yesu yakorra awantu ewintu ewilootu nyanga olwa Sabato kiomo yakorra omuntu ono, kwagera Awayaudi watanika okunyaasia Yesu mu engira enyingi. 17 Ni Yesu yawalaga otino, “Soifu akola emirimo nawuno nyingeeno, kutio noona paka nkole emirimo.”

18 Amangʼana aga Yesu yawoola gano gaagera awakangasi awa Awayaudi katio waagalanga ino okumuita, ni ngʼani mbwe aeniki yakola emirimo nyanga olwa Sabato kwengʼene yaaya. Ni ino-ino ku okuwoola okwa yawoolanga mbwe ari Omuzia owa Katonda. Ku iwo, Yesu yaifwananianga ni Katonda.* 19 Yesu yawairania otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe kiwulao-uwula ekintu ekia Omuzia akakola na amaani gaae omwene, ni mala ewintu ewia awona swae na akola. Wiona ewia Katonda Ise akola, niwio ewia Omuzia waae yoona akola.* 20 Kuri kutio aeniki Katonda Ise agonziizie Omuzia waae kandi amulaga ewintu wiona ewia iye omwene akola. Ee kandi muuza okuluguula ino ni muwona ni nkola kugia ewintu ewikate-kaate ewikira wino, ewia aaza okundaga.* 21 Mala kiomo Soifu Katonda aziusia awafu, yawa-aa owulamu, nintio lwona inze Omuzia waae noona nyesana owulamu ku awantu awa omwene nyagala oku-aa.* 22 Soifu Katonda iye omwene ngakengera omuntu-umuntu ekiina yaaya. Yampeere inze, Omuzia waae, amaani goona aga okukenga ekiina.* 23 Yakorre kino kugere awantu woona wampe owuti mala kiomo waeere Soifu Katonda owuti. Omuntu-umuntu otampeere owuti, omuntu oyo ngaeere Soifu Katonda owantuma owuti.”*

24 Yesu yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “Kuwuene mbalaga mbwe omuntu-umuntu owuriire amangʼana gange kandi awe no okuganya ku omuntu ontumire, omuntu oyo amiire okutuukra owulamu owutariwua. Omuntu oyo ngaaza okukengerwa ekiina yaaya, na amiire okuema mu olumbe aingiire mu owulamu.* 25 Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe enyinga ziiza kandi enyinga ezio zimiire mala okutuuka ezia awafu waaza okuwurra omwoyo ogwa Omuzia owa Katonda, kandi awarimuwurra woona waaza okuwa awalamu. 26 Mala kiomo Katonda Soifu omwene nio oesana owulamu, mu engira yazane eyo Katonda amiire oku-aa Omuzia waae amaani aga okuesana owulamu.* 27 Kandi amiire oku-aa Omuzia amaani aga okukengera awantu ekiina aeniki ari *Omuzia owa Omuntu. 28 Mutaaza mwawa no okuluguula ku amangʼana gano; amiire gaaza aga awafu woona waaza okuwurra omwoyo gwange 29 kugere waziuke waeme mu olumbe. Awantu awaakola geeza wariziuka watuukre owulamu owutariwua, na awaakola owuoni wariziuka wakengerwe ekiina.” 30 Yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Ngʼankola okuagala kwange omwene yaaya: Nyiza mala okukengera omuntu ekiina nikulondokana ni kiomo Soifu andagre mbwe nkenge. Okwo kuuza okugera nkenge ekiina mu engira endootu aeniki nyagala okukola okuagala okwa Soifu owantuma, okutari okwange inze omwene.*

31 “Muuza mwalowa amangʼana gange aga mboola ku inze omwene, ni kuri mbwe ni inze engʼene nio ogawoola. 32 Ni nyingeeno paka muganye aeniki ario owundi oona omiire okugamboolako, kandi manyire mbwe ewia amiire okumboolako wiri kuwuene.

33 “Yowaana yangamba-gambako olwa mwamutumako awantu, kandi yamboolako amangʼana agari kuwuene. 34-35 Yowaana yafwananga ekimuri ekiawanga ni kikangaate okulagana engira.

Ngʼamboola otio mbwe aeniki paka mboolweko amangʼana no omuntu owa ku ekialo kuno yaaya, ni mboola otio kugere inywe mutuukre owuinunuzi.*

Yesu aeere awantu awakirre elufu witaanu okuria

(Math 14:13–21; Mari 6:30–44; Luuk 9:10–17)

1 Nikuemao, Yesu na awalonzi waae waatoola owuato waunguka wagia nyaluwega lundi olwa enyanza eya Galiili, eetwa ne eriina rindi mbwe enyanza eya Tiberiasi. 2 Omurima ogwa awantu awangi waamulonda na agia, aeniki waawona amankono amakate-kaate aga okulamia awalwire aga yakola.* 3 Nikuemao Yesu na awalonzi waae waaniina wagia waikala ku ekigiri ekitono.* 4 Kuno kwatuukra na amiire aga omugomo ogwa *Awayaudi ogwa *Pasaaka gari ampi.*

5 Nikuemao Yesu yagingirizia amiiso awona omurima ogwa awantu awangi ni wamuuzako. Kutio yawuuzia omulonzi waae oetwa Piliipo otino, “Oingirizia mbwe tukatuukra ai okuria okwa tuesa okugula okukasuga awantu wano?” 6 Yesu yawuuzianga-uwuuzia otio okumugeezaania, aeniki omwene yawanga na amanyire ekia yagianga okukola.

7 Piliipo yamuirania otino, “Okuria okwa omuntu ki omuntu ori ano aaza yairako okukono, no okutoola amasendi agakasuga edinaari mia wiwiri.”*

8 Omulonzi waae owundi oetwa Andereeya, wamwawu Simioni Petro, yamulaga otino,* 9 “Ario omuwuuka ori ano ne emikaati itaanu ne emvwa iwiri. Na ago gatio matono ino ku awantu wano woona!”

10 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Mute awantu wano waikale ansi.” Owusuwi wuawanga asi ao owungi ino, kutio awantu woona waaikala ansi, awasaaza wengʼene waasuganga awantu elufu witaanu. 11 Nikuemao Yesu yatoola emikaati egio, kandi olwa yamala okuiranizia Katonda otioo, yagi-aa awalonzi waae kugere wagawire awantu awaawanga ni waikaale. Nintio lwona yakola ne emvwa ziria ziona kandi woona waaria kiomo waagalanga.*

12 Olwa waamala okuria waiguta, Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Mukunze ewiokuria ewisigaale kugere ekintu kitaoneka.” 13 Kutio waawikunza wiona wiizula ewidida ikumi ni wiwiri ewia ewimega ewia emikaati itaanu ewiasigala.

Awantu wagala okuta Yesu ku entewe eya owuami na amaani

14 Olwa awantu waamala okuwona amankono aga Yesu yakola ago, waatanika okuwoola agati yaawu aweene watino, “Kuwuene ono nio *Omugambi owa Katonda owagamba-gambwako mu endagano mbwe asugaane aaze ku ekialo.”* 15 Yesu yagia amanya mbwe awantu wano waagalanga okumunigirizia mbwe awe Omwami waawu. Okwo kwagera awaemako mpoola, agia mu ekigiri okuwa omwene.*

Yesu agende-gendre ku amanzi

(Math 14:22–33; Mari 6:45–51)

16 Olwa kwatuuka igulo, awalonzi awa Yesu waafuma waika ku omwalo, 17 waniina owuato kandi wasiawala waunguka enyanza ni wagia Kapernaumu. Ekierema katio kiawanga ni kimiire okuamba ekialo, ni Yesu yawanga na akiari okuwatuukako. 18 Ku owuziwa ni wagia, omuyaga omuzito gwatemuka kandi enyanza yawiiya. 19 Olwa waamala okuvuga owuliire owukasuga emaeli isatu kugia ine, waawona Yesu na agenda-genda ku amanzi na ari ampi okuwatuukako. Owuti wuawa-amba ino, 20 ni Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ono ni inze, mutawa no owuti.” 21 Awalonzi waae waasangaala okuwa nae mu owuato, kandi ku enyinga entono, owuato wuagowa ku ekialo aa waagianga.

22 Enkio walwo, omurima ogwa awantu awangi awa Yesu ya-aa okuria awaasigala engereka indi eya enyanza eya Galiili waria, waagia wamanya mbwe no owuato wulala wuengʼene niwuo owuawanga ao. Lwona waamanya mbwe awalonzi awa Yesu niwo awaawuniina, wasiawala ni wagia, Yesu iye na akiasigaale enyima. 23-24 Waamuagala asi ao oona, ni ngawakamutuukra iye namba awalonzi waae. Waawona amaato agaaemanga ku omugizi ogwa Tiberiasi ni gagowa a-ampi ni aa awantu waaria emikaati, no Omwami yamala okuikazia Katonda aria. Kutio waaganiina wagia Kapernaumu okugia okumuagala eyo.*

Yesu nio omukaati ogugera na awantu wawa no owulamu

25 Olwa awantu wano waamutuukra na ari engereka indi, waamuwuuzia watino, “Omugerezi, otuukre eno enyingaaki?”

26 Yesu yawairania na awalaga otino, “Kuwuene munyagarrenga mala ku emikaati egia izo mwariire ma muiguta, ni ngʼani ku ewilago ewia amankono ewia mwamiire okuwona yaaya.* 27 Mutakola emirimo okutuukra okuria okutawuuza. Ni, mukorre okuria okuwaao amiire goona, okwa *Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okuwa-aa. Iye nio owa Katonda Ise amiire okulagana mbwe aganyire nae.”

28 Nikuemao waamuwuuzia watino, “Ekia tusugaane tukole kugere tukole emirimo egia Katonda aagala niki?”

29 Yesu yawairania otino, “Emirimo egia Katonda aagala mbwe mukole ne emilala — okuwa no okuganya ku omuntu owa yatuma.”

30 Kutio waamuwuuzia watino, “Amankonooki aga oesa okutukorra gatuweere ekilago, kugere tuwe no okuganya ku iwue? Ee, ooza okutukorraki?* 31 Waaguukwa wiifu waaria *maana ni waawanga mu ekeewa mala kiomo kwajojwa mbwe, ‘Yawa-aa omukaati ogwaema ku igulu warie.’† ”

32 Yesu yawairania otino, “Kuwuene mbalaga mbwe ngʼani Muusa nio owawa-aa omukaati ogwaema ku igulu yawa, ni ni Soifu Katonda nio owawa-aa omukaati ogwa kuwuene okuema ku igulu. 33 Aeniki inze ni inze omukaati ogwa Katonda aezania, owaika ansi ku ekialo, na aema ku igulu kandi ni inze oesana owulamu ku awantu awa ku ekialo.”

34 Awantu awo waamuirania watino, “Omukangasi, okutanikra nyingeeno tueeko omukaati ogwo.”*

35 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inze ni inze omukaati ogwa no omuntu ariire, awa no owulamu. Onyizreko kandi awe no okuganya ku inze, omuntu oyo ngaaza okuwurra enzala, lwona ngaaza okuwurra owulwo yaaya.* 36 Ni mala kiomo nyawalaga, inywe mumiire okumbona, ni kukawa kutio mukiawula no okuganya ku inze.* 37 Awantu woona awa Katonda Ise ampeere, waaza okunyizako. Kandi awulao namba omuntu omulala onyizreko, owa nyiza okurumusia.* 38 Aeniki nyaema ku igulu nyika ansi ku ekialo okuuza okukola okuagala okwa Katonda owantuma, ni ngʼani okuuza okukola okuagala kwange omwene yaaya.* 39 No okuagala okwa owantuma kuri mbwe ntaaza nyateesia namba omulala ku awa ateere mu amakono gange, ni mbwe nyize mbaziusie waeme ku awafu Owuire owua Owutuuko.* 40 Ni kutio aeniki okuagala okwa Soifu Katonda kuri mbwe omuntu-umuntu oteere omwoyo gwae ku inze Omuzia waae kandi oweere no okuganya ku inze, omuntu oyo aaza okutuukra owulamu owutariwua kandi Owuire owua Owutuuko ndimuziusia awe omulamu kandi.”*

41 Ingʼana eria Yesu yawoola mbwe ni iye omukaati oguema ku igulu guika ansi ku ekialo riagera awakangasi awa Awayaudi wawona uwiiwi nae. 42 Waawuuzia watino, “Ono ngʼani Yesu omuzia owa Yoseefu oria? Awiiwuzi waae ngatuwamanyire geeza? Katio nyingeeno areeta otie okuwoola mbwe yaika ansi ku ekialo na aema ku igulu?”*

43 Yesu yawairania otino, “Mureke okuwona ni inze uwiiwi ku ekia mbalagre kino. 44 Awulao omuntu ooza yaanyizako ni kutari mbwe Soifu Katonda owantuma nio omukuluule na amureeta ku inze. No omuntu onyizreko, nyiza okumuziusia Owuire owua Owutuuko. 45 Omulala ku Awagambi awa Katonda yajoja otino, ‘Awantu woona warigererwa ni Katonda.’† Omuntu otegerezia amangʼana aga Soifu Katonda kandi oigerera okuema ku iye, nio onyizako. 46 Awulao omuntu omiire okuwona Katonda Ise ogawuuke ni inze owaema ku Katonda. Inze engʼene ni inze omiire okumuwona.*

47 “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe omuntu-umuntu oweere no okuganya ku inze ari no owulamu owutariwua. 48 Inze ni inze omukaati ogwa no omuntu ariire, awa no owulamu.* 49 Ee, waaguukwa wiinyu waaria maana mu ekeewa, ni kukawa kutio woona waafwa. 50 No owa muri nae ano, nio omukaati oguika ansi okuema ku igulu ogwa no omuntu ariire ngafwa yaaya. 51 Inze ni inze omukaati oguri no owulamu ogwaika ansi okuema ku igulu. Omuntu-umuntu oriire omukaati guno aaza okuwa omulamu amiire goona. Omukaati ogwo, no omuwiri gwange ogwa nyesanira awantu woona ku ekialo, kugere wawe no owulamu.”

52 Nikuemao enda ezia awakangasi awa Awayaudi ziayia ni ingʼana rino mala watanika okuwoola agati yaawu aweene no owululu ino watino, “Omuntu ono aesa okutu-aa omuwiri gwae otie mbwe turie?”

53 Yesu yawairania na awoola otino, “Kuwuene mbalaga mbwe ni mutariire-uria omuwiri ogwange kandi munywe amasaai gange, inze Omuzia owa Omuntu, muwula no owulamu chee! 54 No omuntu-umuntu oriire omuwiri gwange kandi yanywa amasaai gange, iye ari no owulamu owutariwua kandi nyiza okumuziusia Owuire owua Owutuuko. 55 Aeniki omuwiri gwange no okuria kuwuene kandi amasaai gange ne ekinywewua kuwuene. 56 Oriire omuwiri gwange kandi anywe amasaai gange, aaza okuwa ni inze alala amiire goona kandi noona nyiza okuwa nae alala.* 57 Mala kiomo Soifu Katonda omulamu yantuma kandi ndio omulamu ku amaani gaae, nintio lwona omuntu oriire omuwiri gwange aaza okuwa omulamu ku amaani gange. 58 Inze ni inze omukaati ogwaika ansi ni guema ku igulu.

Owungi owua awantu awaalondanga Yesu wamurekere

60 Olwa awalonzi awa Yesu waawurra amangʼana gano, waawoola watino, “Eno ne engerera enkalu efwanana etie eno? Naanu ooza yaganya nayo?” 61 Yesu yawanga na amanyire mbwe awalonzi waae wawona uwiiwi ne engerera yaae eyo. Kutio yawalaga otino, “Kuwuene amangʼana aga mboorre ago ngagasugaane gawayiisie enda? 62 Ni katio kuuza okuwa kutie ni muuza okuwona Omuzia owa Omuntu na aniina ku igulu aa yawanga ni yawanga na akiari okuika ku ekialo kuno? 63 *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda nio ogera na awantu wawa awalamu; omuntu na amaani aga omuwiri omusaasa awula owuesani owua okureeta owulamu. Amangʼana aga mbalaga gagera ni mutuukra Omwoyo Omweru oreeta owulamu.* 64 Kukawa kutio, wario awandi ku inywe awawula no okuganya.” Yesu yawoola otio aeniki yawanga na amiire okumanya kale okuemera yatanika okuwagerera, mbwe ni naanu agati yaawu owawulanga no okuganya kandi owaazanga okumuguzia.* 65 Yesu yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Kino nikio ekiagera ni mbalaga mbwe awulao omuntu ooza yanyizako ni kutari mbwe Soifu Katonda nio omukuluule na amundeetako.”*

66 Okuemera enyinga ezio, owungi owua awantu awaamulondanga, watanika okuirana enyima wareka okumulonda.

67 Yesu yawuuzia awalonzi waae ikumi ni wawiri otino, “Inywe mwona muagala okundeka mugie?”

68 Simioni Petro yamuirania otino, “Omwami, ifwe tukagia ku anu ni tukurekere? Iwue ni iwue ori na amangʼana agagera no omuntu awa no owulamu owutariwua. 69 Turi no okuganya kandi tumanyire mbwe iwue ni iwue Omweru oemere ku Katonda.”**

70 Nikuemao Yesu yawairania otino, “Ngʼani inze owawalowola mwona inywe awantu ikumi ni wawiri? Ni kukawa kutio, omulala ku inywe ari ekikeeno!” 71 (Ano Yesu yagamba-gambanga ku Yudaasi omuzia owa Simioni Omuiskarioti owamuguzia lunyima, kukawa mbwe yawanga omulala ku awalonzi ikumi ni iwiri waria.)*

Waamwawu Yesu wawula no okuganya ku iye

1 Nikuemao Yesu yafuma atanika okugenda-genda mu ekialo ekia Galiili. Ngakagalanga okugia Yudeea aeniki awakangasi awa *Awayaudi awa Yudeea waamurindanga wamuite.*

2 Omugomo ogwa Awayaudi ogwa okumenya mu ewigiti gwawanga ampi.* 3 Kutio waamwawu Yesu waamulaga watino, “Ema ano, ogie oweere Yudeea kugere awalonzi waao wagie wawone amankono aga okola. 4 Awulao omuntu oagala mbwe awe omuntu omanyiike ni kandi ano akola ewintu owuiwisi. Kutio, aeniki okola ewintu ewikate-kaate wino, fuma enze awantu wakuwone, mbenanu.” 5 Waagamba-gambanga otino aeniki namba iwo waamwawu waae waawulanga no okuganya ku iye.*

6 Yesu yawairania otino, “Enyinga ziange ezia nsugaane ngiiremo eyo zikiari okutuuka, ni inywe enyinga-unyinga ziwasuganiire okugia.* 7 Inywe awantu awa ku ekialo kuno ngawawaregere, ni inze wandegere aeniki enyinga ziona mbalaga mbwe enkola ziawu mbiiwi.* 8 Mufume mugie mu omugomo. Inze nyingeeno ngʼanyiza okugia eyo aeniki enyinga ezia nsugaane ngiiremo zikiari okutuuka.” 9 Ni yamala okuwoola otio, yasigala akola okuweera Galiili.

Okutawurizania agati ya Yesu na awakangasi awa Awayaudi

10 Kukawa kutio, olwa waamwawu waae waamala okuniina wagia mu omugomo, Yesu yoona yafuma agenda eyo. Ni ngakagia owuyanga, ni yagia owuiwisi. 11 Awakangasi awa Awayaudi awaawanga mu omugomo ogwo waamuagala mu awantu ni wawuuzia watino, “Kane omuntu oyo ariai?”*

12 Mu omurima ogwa awantu omwo, awantu awangi waatanika okuimonyerezia. Awandi waawoolanga mbwe, “Omuntu oyo ari omuntu omulootu.” Na awandi woona ni walowa mbwe, “Yawa, omuntu ono asemerezia awantu.”

13 Na awulao omuntu namba omulala owaesanga okumugamba-gambako owuyanga aeniki waatianga awakangasi awa Awayaudi.*

Yesu agereere mu omugomo

14 Amiire aga omugomo gaatuuka agati nikwo Yesu yagia mu olwanyi olwa *ekaalu atanika okugerera awantu. 15 Awakangasi awa Awayaudi awaawanga omwo waawa no okuluguula ino kandi waaiwuuzia watino, “Omuntu ono atoorrei amaganga gano ni kandi ngakasoma?”*

16 Yesu yawairania otino, “Engerera eya mbagerera eno ngʼane eyange omwene yaaya, ne eema ku Katonda owantuma.* 17 Omuntu owisiizie mu omwoyo gwae okukola okuagala okwa Katonda, nio ooza okumanya ne engerera yange eema ku Katonda nakuwa ne eri eyange inze omwene. 18 Omuntu oagala okuiyama iye omwene awoola amangʼana gaae omwene. No omuntu owa Katonda yatuma, iye aagala okutondowola Katonda. Omuntu oyo ari kuwuene kandi awulamo owuoni.* 19 Kane Muusa, ngayawa-aa *ensikirra mbwe mulonde? Ni kukawa kutio, awulao namba omulala ku inywe ozilonda. Ekigera ni muagala okunyita niki?”*

20 Omurima ogwo gwamuirania gutino, “Thuu, oriko ekikeeno! Oagala okukuita naanu?”*

21 Yesu yawairania otino, “Muzinduuke kandi muwuine uwiiwi ku okukola okwa nkorre amankono aga okulamia omuntu olwa *Sabato. 22 Ni aeniki Muusa yawa-aa endagirra eya okuira awaana wiinyu awekizia *enyangu (ni, ni kuri kuwuene, ni waaguukwa wiifu, otari Muusa niwo awawa-aa endagirra eyo namba ni Muusa yawanga na akiari okuiwulwa), kandi muira awaana enyangu namba nyanga olwa Sabato.* 23 Ni kuri mbwe muira awaana enyangu kugia nyanga olwa Sabato, mala kugere mutuusie ekia endagirra eya Muusa ewoola, katio enda ziinyu ziyia ni inze kolaki ni ndamiizie nyanga olwa Sabato? 24 Mureke okufwa okukenga-ukenga ekiina ni muwarra mala ewintu ewiwonwa na amiiso. Ni mukenge ekiina nikulondokana no owuene owua amangʼana.”

Awantu awangi waganyire mbwe Yesu ari Meesia

25 Ku enyinga ezio awandi ku awa Yerusaleemu waatanika okuwuuzia watino, “Omuntu ono ngʼanio omuntu owa awakangasi wiifu waagala mbwe aitwe oria?* 26 Na mpano nyingeeno ari ano kandi agamba-gamba-ugamba-gamba na awantu owuyanga, ni kiwulao ekia wamiire okumukorra. Kusi awakangasi awa Awayaudi woona nyingeeno waganyire nae mbwe iye nio *Meesia?** 27 Ni ifwe tumanyire mbwe Meesia na ariiza, awulao namba omuntu omulala orimanya owaawu aa aema. No omuntu ono iye tumanyire owaawu aa aema, kutio ngaesa okuwa Meesia.”*

28 Nikuemao, na akiagia emberi okugerera mu ekaalu, Yesu yawoola no omwoyo ogwa kungulu otino, “Ee, mpao muwoola mbwe mummanyire kandi mbwe mumanyire aa nyema. Ni muwe no okumanya mbwe ngʼanyakaaza ano ku amaani gange omwene yaaya. Soifu Katonda ori kuwuene nio owantuma. Inywe ngamumumanyire, 29 ni inze mumanyire aeniki nio owa nyaemereko kandi nio owantuma.”*

30 Olwa awakangasi awa Awayaudi waamuwurra na awoola otio, waagalanga okumuamba. Kukawa kutio, awulao omuntu namba omulala owamutaako okukono, aeniki enyinga ezia Katonda yata mbwe aaza okuambrwamo ziawanga ni zikiari okutuuka.* 31 Ni kukawa kutio, owungi owua awantu mu omurima ogwo, waawa no okuganya ku Yesu. Wawoola watino, “Kutio olwa Meesia ariiza, arikola ewintu ewikate-kaate okukira ewia omuntu ono akola?”*

Awakangasi awa Awayaudi waagala okuamba Yesu

32 *Awafarisaayo waawurra kiomo omurima ogwa awantu waamonyerezianga amangʼana gano ku Yesu agati yaawu. Kutio iwo alala na awakangasi awa *awoozia, waatuma awarinzi awa ekaalu wagie wa-ambe Yesu.

33 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Nkiaaza okuwa ni inywe ku emienzi gindi emitoono, nikuemao nyiza okuirana ku Soifu owantuma.* 34 Murinyaagala, ni ngamurintuukra; kandi aa nyiza okugia okuwa, ngamuesa okutuukao.”*

35 Awakangasi awa Awayaudi waatanika okuwuuzia agati yaawu aweene watino, “Aa omuntu ono aagala okugia na ai, aa awoola mbwe ngatuuza okumutuukra? Kusi aagala okugia mu ewialo ewia awantu wiifu waatanyika wagia wamenya agati eya Awagiriiki, agie agerere Awagiriiki awari eyo? 36 Ekia atulaga niki na awoola mbwe, ‘Murinyaagala ni ngamurintuukra’ kandi mbwe, ‘Aa nyiza okuwa ngamuesa okutuukao’?”

Okuuza okwa Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda

37 Owuire owutuukre owua omugomo ogwa okumenya mu ewigiti, owuawanga owunene ino, Yesu yaimerra nikwo awoola no omwoyo ogwa kungulu otino, “Na ario omuntu owurra owulwo, mureke anyizeko mu-ee amanzi anywe.* 38 *Endagano ewoola mbwe omuntu-umuntu oweere no okuganya ku inze, amanzi agaesana owulamu owutariwua gaaza okumufumako ni gaika ki amanzi aga mu oluuzi.” 39 Ku okuwoola otio, Yesu yagamba-gambanga ku *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda owa awantu awari no okuganya ku iye waazanga okutuukra lunyima. Kutuuka enyinga ezio, Katonda yawanga na akiari okuesania Omwoyo gwae Omweru aeniki Yesu yawanga na akiari okuiraniziwua owunene owua yawanga nawuo kale.†*

Awantu wagawuuke ku owa Yesu ari

40 Awandi ku awantu awo, olwa waamuwurra na awoola amangʼana ago, waawoola watino, “Kuwuene omuntu ono no *Omugambi owa Katonda owa tumiire okuwa ni turindirra.”* 41 Na awandi woona waawoola watino, “Ari Kristo.” Na awandi woona waawanga ni wakiawuuzia watino, “Kristo aesa okuwa mbwe aema Galiili otie? 42 Kane endagano ngewoola mbwe Kristo aaza okuuza okuema mu oluganda olwa Daudi kandi mbwe aaza okuiwulwa Bethleemu, omugizi ogwa Daudi yakomeramo?”* 43 Kutio amaingirizio aga awantu gaagawukana ku amangʼana aga Yesu. 44 Awandi waagalanga okumuamba, na awulao omuntu namba omulala owamutaako okukono.*

45 Owutuukre, awarinzi awa ekaalu wairana ku Awafarisaayo na awakangasi awa awoozia. Olwa waatuuka, waawawuuzia watino, “Ekigera ni mutamureetere niki?”

46 Awarinzi awo waawairania watino, “Awulao-uwula omuntu omiire okugamba-gamba geeza ki omuntu oria!”

47 Awafarisaayo waairania awarinzi awo watino, “Owuo inywe mwona omuntu oyo amiire okuwasemerezia? 48 Arioko omukangasi namba Omufarisaayo omulala owa muwuine na amuganyako? 49 Awulao namba omulala! Omurima ogwa awantu awatamanyire ensikirra ezia Muusa wano, niwo awamuganyako. Iwo Katonda yamala okuwafuuwa.”

50 Nikodeemo owawanga na amiire okugiako ku Yesu owuire oria yawanga omulala ku Awafarisaayo awo. Yawuuzia awiina waae awo otino,* 51 “Endagirra iifu lwona etuganyiire okukengera omuntu ekiina na akiari okuetwa awantu wawurre ekia omwene awoola?”*

52 Awafarisaayo awiina waae awo waamuirania watino, “Kuwonekana mbwe iwue oona oema Galiili. Warrako mu endagano mpoola, owone na ario omugambi owa Katonda omiire okuemako Galiili okuemera ri?” 53 [Nikuemao, omuntu ki omuntu yafuma ao ataao na agia engo waae.

1 Awantu ni waamala okugia mu emigizi giawu, Yesu iye yagia ku ekigiri ekia *Zaituuni.

Omukazi owa-ambwa mu owusoodani

2 Enkio walwo kunkio kumagambaazi, Yesu yairana mu olwanyi olwa *ekaalu. Awantu awangi ino wamuikumiako aa yawanga kandi Yesu yaikala ansi atanika okuwagerera. 3 Ni yagianga emberi no okugerera, *awagerezi awa endagirra na *Awafarisaayo wandi waamureetra omukazi owa-ambwa mu amiiso ngalulani na ari ku iseero no omusaaza otari owaae, mala wamuimerezia emberi wa Yesu. 4 Waalaga Yesu watino, “Omugerezi, omukazi owa owona ono ya-ambrwe mu amiiso ngalulani na ari ku iseero no omusaaza otari owaae. 5 Mu endagirra ziifu, Muusa yatusikirra mbwe omukazi ki ono, tumukube na amawaale tumuite. Ni iwue, tulageko ekia owoola ku ekingʼana kino?”* 6 Waakola no okuwuuzia kuno, ki omutego kugere watuukre ekintu ekia waaesanga okumuingirra nakio. Ni Yesu yaikirra ansi atanika okujoja ne ekiala kiae ansi ku ilowa.* 7 Olwa awantu wano waagia emberi okumuwuuzia ekingʼana kino, yaimerra kungulu awalaga otino, “Na ario omuntu ku inywe ao okiari okukola owuoni, oyo awe mbwe nio osooka okumukuba ni iwaale.”* 8 Ni yamala okuwoola otio yaikirra kandi atanika okujoja ansi ku ilowa.

9 Olwa Awagerezi awa endagirra na Awafarisaayo wano waawurra otio, waatanika okufuma omulala-lala ni wagia, okutanikra ku awanene waawu, nawuno wawua chwe. Owasigala ao, no omukazi oyo engʼene. 10 Yesu yaimerra kungulu awuuzia omukazi oyo otino, “Mukaziiwue, awantu awakuingiriire waria wagiirei?” 11 Omukazi oyo yamuirania otino, “Wawula ano omukangasi.”

Nikuemao Yesu yoona yamulaga otino, “Noona ngʼanyiza okukengera ekiina, yaaya. Gia, no oreke owuoni ilala.”]**

Yesu nio owueru owua ekialo

12 Yesu yagia emberi okugerera awantu mu ekaalu na awoola otino, “Inze ni inze owueru owumurika awantu mu ekialo. Omuntu-umuntu onondere ngaaza okugenda-genda mu ekierema yaaya, ni aaza okuwa no owueru owureeta owulamu.”*

13 Awafarisaayo waamuirania ni wamulaga watino, “Nyingeeno na mpano oigamba-gambako iwue omwene? Amangʼana aga omuntu aiwoolako iye omwene ngʼana amangʼana aga awantu wasugaane waganye nago.”*

14 Yesu yawairania otino, “Namba ni kuri mbwe nyiiyamia omwene, okuiyamia kwange okwo kuri kuwuene aeniki inze manyire aa nyaema ni aa nyiza okuirana. Ni inywe ngamumanyire aa nyaema na aa nyiza okugia.* 15 Inywe mukenga ekiina no omurengo ogwa awantu niwo awateereo, ni inze ngʼankengera omuntu ekiina yaaya. 16 Ni, ni nkengeere omuntu ekiina, nkikenga mu engira esugaane aeniki ngʼandi omwene yaaya, ni ndi ni Soifu owantuma. 17 Mu endagano iinyu kujojerwe mbwe awantu wawiri ni wasigiike ingʼana, ingʼana erio risugre okuganywako.* 18 Inze ngʼanyiisigika inze omwene, no owundi onsigika ku ewintu ewia mboola ni Soifu owantuma.”*

19 Nikuemao Awafarisaayo wano waamuwuuzia watino, “Swao oyo ariai?”

Yesu yawairania mbwe, “Inywe ngamumanyire kuwuene owa ndi. Namba Soifu oona ngamumanyire. Kuweeko mbwe mumanyire owa ndi kuwuene, kangato mumanyire Soifu oona.”*

20 Yesu yawoola amangʼana gano goona na agerera awantu mu ekaalu ni yawanga nyaluwaala olwa esanduuki ezia amasendi agaafumiziwuanga Katonda ziateewua. Kukawa kutio, awulao omuntu owamuamba aeniki enyinga ezia yateerwa okuuza okuambwa ziawanga ni zikiari.*

Engerera eya Yesu ngeingirra Awafarisaayo

21 Yesu kandi yainuula ingʼana eria yamala okuwalaga otino, “Nyiza okuwaemako ngie ale kandi muuza okunyagala. Muuza okufwa mu owuoni wuinyu kandi aa nyiza okugia inywe ngamuesa mwagiao.”*

22 Kino kiagera awakangasi awa *Awayaudi awo waiwuuzia agati yaawu watino, “Kane omuntu ono aaza okuigoga? Andi ekio nikio ekigera na awoola mbwe, ‘Aa nyiza okugia inywe ngamuesa mwagiao.’?”

23 Ni Yesu yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Inywe muemere asi ku ekialo, ni inze nyaema kungulu ku igulu. Muri awantu awa ku ekialo kino, ni inze ngʼandi owa ku ekialo yaaya.* 24 Nyamiire okuwalaga mbwe ni mulowere okuganya mbwe ndi owa mboola mbwe ndi, muuza okufwa mu owuoni wuinyu. Kandi ni kuwuene mbwe muuza okufwa mu owuoni wuinyu.”*

25 Waamuwuuzia watino, “Iwue ori anu?”

Yesu yawairania otino, “Ndi mala owa miire okuweerako ni mbalaga mbwe ndi enyinga zino ziona. 26 Ndi ne ewintu ewingi ewia nyiza nyawawoolako kandi ewia nyiza nyawakengerera nawio ekiina. Omuntu owantuma no omuntu owoola amangʼana agari kuwuene kandi ndaga awantu awa ku ekialo amangʼana aga nyawurra na awoola.”*

27 Awantu wano ngawakamanya mbwe yawagamba-gambranga ku Swae owa ku igulu. 28 Kutio Yesu yawalaga otino, “Olwa murigingirizia *Omuzia owa Omuntu kungulu, nikwo murimanya mbwe ndi owa mbalaga mbwe ndi. Lwona murimanya mbwe kiwulao ekintu ekia nkola omwene, ni mboola mala amangʼana aga Soifu nio owangerera.* 29 Soifu owantuma oyo ari ni inze alala. Akiari okundeka nsigala omwene yaaya, aeniki inze nkola mala ewintu ewimuomerezia enyinga ziona.”

Awayaudi awangi waganyire ku Yesu

30 Ni yagamba-gambanga otio, awantu awangi waawa no okuganya ku iye.* 31 Ku Awayaudi awaawanga ni wamiire okuwa no okuganya ku iye, Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ni muisimbiriire ku igerera riange nikwo muuza okuwa awalonzi wange kuwuene.* 32 Nikuemao muuza okumanya owuene kandi owuene owuo wuuza okuwasiwula muwe owuyanga.”

Okugawukana okuri ku awaana awa Abraamu awa kuwuene

33 Awantu awo waamuirania watino, “Ifwe turi awiizukulu awa Abraamu, kandi okuemera ri tukiari okuwa *awakurumu awa omuntu-umuntu. Katio iwue oreeta otie okuwoola mbwe tuuza okusiwulwa tuwe owuyanga?”*

34 Yesu yawairania otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe omuntu okola owuoni ari omukurumu owa owuoni.* 35 Omukurumu no omuntu omugenzi-genzi owula ni iwaga eria okuwa ku omugizi amiire goona. No omuzia oiwuulwe ku omugizi nio owa ku omugizi mu owulamu wuae wuona.* 36 Kutio omuntu-umuntu owa Omuzia ateere owuyanga, ari owuyanga kuwuene.* 37 Manyire mbwe muri awiizukulu awa Abraamu. Kukawa kutio, muitegere okunyita aeniki emioyo giinyu ngagi-ingiizie amangʼana gange. 38 Mbalaga ewintu ewia miire okuwona emberi wa Soifu, ni inywe mwona mukola ewintu ewia mumiire okuwurra ku soinyu.”

39 Awantu awo waamuirania watino, “Abraamu nio soifu.” Yesu yawalaga mbwe, “Kuweeko mbwe muri awaana awa Abraamu kuwuene, kangato mukola ewintu ewifwanana ne ewia Abraamu yakola. 40 Inywe muagala okunyita aeniki mbalagre owuene owua nyawurra ku Katonda. Mboola mbwe Abraamu ngakakola ewintu ewifwana witio yawa.* 41 Inywe mukola ewintu ewia soinyu nio okola.” Awantu awo waalowa wukalu ni wawoola watino, “Ifwe Katonda engʼene nio Soifu, tuwula no owundi.”

42 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Kuweeko mbwe Katonda nio Soinyu kandi mbwe muri awaana waae, kangato mungonziizie. Aeniki inze nyaema ku Katonda kandi nyingeeno katio ndi ano ni inywe. Ngʼani inze omwene owawisia okuuza ku ekialo kuno yaaya, ni, ni Katonda owantuma.* 43 Ewia mboola ngawiwaingirra kolaki? Ngawiwaingirra aeniki mulowa okuwurra amangʼana aga mbalaga. 44 Inywe muri awa soinyu *Ekikeeno kandi muagala okukola mala ewia soinyu oyo aagala. Iye yawanga omwisi okuemera mu owutanikro. Ngasigika owuene aeniki owuene wumuwulamo. Ni iye ngʼina owuweeyi, owa amangʼana goona aga owuweeyi gaemako, kandi na awoola owuweeyi afwana owoola omunwa ogwa yasimuka nagwo.* 45 Kutio, kukawa mbwe inze mbalaga ewintu ewiri kuwuene, mulowa okuganya ni inze. 46 Arioko omuntu ku inywe oesa okuwoola ekintu ekilagana mbwe ndi omwoni? Ni mbalaga owuene otio, ekiwalowera okuganya ni inze katio niki?* 47 Omuntu owa Katonda, awurra amangʼana aga Katonda. Inywe ekigera ni ngamuwurra agaae, ni mbwe ngamuri awantu awa Katonda yaaya.”*

48 Awakangasi awa Awayaudi awo waamuirania watino, “Ni tuwoorre mbwe ori *Omusamaria kandi mbwe oriko ekikeeno, ao otio tukaweeya?”*

49 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inze ekikeeno ngakindimo yaaya. Inze mpa Soifu owuti, ni inywe ngamumpeere owuti yaaya. 50 Inze ngʼanyiagarra okueewua owunene na awantu yaaya, ni ni Soifu Katonda omukengi owa ekiina nio onyagarra owunene.* 51 Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe no omuntu-umuntu arindre amangʼana gange gano, ngarifwa yaaya.”* 52 Olwa awakangasi awa Awayaudi waawurra Yesu na awoola otio, waamulaga watino, “Nyingeeno tumanyire kuwuene mbwe kane oriko ekikeeno! Abraamu na *awagambi awakulu awa Katonda woona waafwa. Iwue oesa otie okutulaga mbwe omuntu-umuntu orindre amangʼana gaao ngarifwa? 53 Kusi owuo oitoola omukaate okukira guukwa iifu Abraamu? Iye yafwa mala kiomo awagambi awakulu woona waafwa. Oingirizia mbwe iwue ori anu iwue?”*

54 Yesu yawairania otino, “Ni kuri mbwe nyiitaako owunene inze omwene, owunene owuo wuwula ne emirimo. Ni, ompa owunene ni Katonda Soifu, owa muwoola mbwe ari Katonda iinyu oyo. 55 Kukawa mbwe inywe ngamumumanyire, inze mumanyire geeza, aa ni nyiizukiire nyawoola mbwe ngʼamumanyire, nkawa omuweeyi ki inywe. Ee, mumanyire kandi nindre amangʼana gaae.* 56 Guukwa iinyu Abraamu yasangaala ino ni yaingirizianga okuwona amiire aga okuuza kwange.

59 Olwa awantu wano wamuwurra na awoola otio, waatoola amawaale mbwe wamukube nago. Ni Yesu yawaiwisako aema mu olwanyi olwa ekaalu owateekako.*

Yesu alamiizie omuwuunu

1 Ni Yesu yagenda-gendanga, yawona omuntu omuwuunu owaiwulwa na ari omuwuunu. 2 Awalonzi waae waamuwuuzia watino, “Omugerezi, agati ya omuntu ono na awiiwuzi waae, owakola owuoni owuagera no omuntu ono awa omuwuunu naanu?”*

3 Yesu yawairania otino, “Yaaya, awulao agati yaawu owakola owuoni owuagera no omuntu ono awa omuwuuwu otino. Ni kino kiaikola kugere amaani aga Katonda gaaze gawonwe ni gakola emirimo ku omuntu ono.* 4 Ne ekialo kikiari omuwasu paka tukole emirimo egia Katonda yantuma okukola aeniki ekierema kiiza aa awulao ooza okukola emirimo.* 5 Ni nkiari ku ekialo kuno, ni inze owueru ku awantu awa ku ekialo.”*

6 Ni yamala okuwoola otio, yafuuza amate ansi, akonya itosi na amate nikuemao atoola itosi erio awaka ku amiiso aga omuntu omuwuunu oyo.* 7 Nikuemao yalaga omuntu oyo otino, “Fuma ano ogie oozie ekieni kiao mu ekituko ekietwa Siloamu.” (Eriina Siloamu rilagana mbwe okutumwa.) Kutio omuntu oyo yafuma agia aozia ekieni kiae airana na amiiso gawona. 8 Olwa awantu awaawanga ni wamenyere a-ampi nae alala na awantu awaamuwonanga na asawa-sawa awantu ewintu waamuwona na awona, waaiwuuzia aweene mbwe, “Ono ngʼanio omuntu owaweerenga na asawa-sawa awantu ewintu oria?”*

9 Awandi waaganya mbwe, “Ee, ni iye.” Na awandi woona waalowa ni wawoola watino, “Yaaya, ono ngʼani iye. Okufwanana nikwo wafwanana.” No omuntu oyo yawalaga kangi otino, “Ono ni inze oyo.”

10 Olwa yawoola otio, awantu awo waamuwuuzia watino, “No owoola otio, kane amiiso gaao gataniike okuwona na ngiraaki?”

11 Omuntu ono yawairania na awoola otino, “Omuntu owa waeta mbwe Yesu nio owakonyere itosi na amate gaae, atoola itosi erio awaka ku amiiso gange nikwo andaga mbwe ngie nyozie ekieni kiange mu ekituko ekietwa mbwe Siloamu. Olwa ngiire nyozia-uozia ekieni kiange otino, amiiso gange gaiguuke ntanika okuwona.”

12 Waamuwuuzia watino, “Omuntu oyo ariai?” Ni iye yawairania otino, “Inze ngʼamanyire aa agiire.”

13 Nikuemao awantu awo waatoola omuntu owawanga omuwuunu ono wamuira ku *Awafarisaayo. 14 Owuire owua Yesu yaigurrao amiiso aga omuntu ono wuawanga owuire owua *Sabato.* 15 Awafarisaayo wano woona waawuuzia omuntu ono kiomo amiiso gaae gataniike okuwona. Omuntu oyo yawairania otino, “Yesu nio otoorre itosi ata mu amiiso gange. Ngiire ngaozia kandi nyingeeno katio mbona.”

16 Awafarisaayo wandi waawoola watino, “Omuntu owa owoola oyo, ngʼari omuntu oemere ku Katonda yaaya, aeniki akola emirimo egitasugaane gikolwe olwa Sabato.”

Kukawa kutio awandi ku iwo waawawuuzia watino, “Omuntu ono na ataemere ku Katonda, akakola amankono agafwana gatio otie?” Kutio okugawukana kwawaao agati ya Awafarisaayo wano.*

17 Owutuukre, Awafarisaayo waaeta omuntu owawanga omuwuunu oria watanika okumuwuuzia kandi watino, “Iwue ekia ooza wawoola ku omuntu ono niki? Ee, ni iwue aiguuleo amiiso gaao.”

Omuntu oyo yawairania otino, “Oria no *omugambi owa Katonda.”*

18 Awakangasi awa *Awayaudi wano ngawakaganya mbwe omuntu owawanga na awona oyo yawanganga omuwuunu. Okwo kwagera waeta awiiwuzi waae waaza emberi waawu. 19 Nikuemao waawawuuzia watino, “Ono no omwana iinyu? Ni iye owa muwoola mbwe yaiwulwa na ari omuwuunu? Ni kuri kutio, kuweere kutie mbwe nyingeeno awona?”

20 Awiiwuzi awo waawairania watino, “Ifwe tumanyire mbwe ono no omwana iifu kandi mbwe twamuiwula na ari omuwuunu. 21 Ni kiomo areetere okuwona nyingeeno namba omuntu omuiguuleo amiiso, ifwe ngatumanyire! Mumuwuuzie awalage aeniki ari omuntu mukulu, oesa okuwoola ekimuikoriire iye omwene.” 22 Awiiwuzi waae waawoola watio aeniki waatianga awakangasi awa Awayaudi aeniki awakangasi wano waawanga ni wamiire okuwisia mbwe omuntu-umuntu oganyire mbwe Yesu nio *Kristo omulowoole owa Katonda, arumusiwua ilala mu *esinagoogi.* 23 Kino nikio ekiagera awiiwuzi waae ni wawoola mbwe, “Mumuwuuzie awalage aeniki ari omuntu mukulu.”

24 Waaeta omuntu owawanga omuwuunu ono olwa okuwiri wamulaga watino, “Katonda, otari omuntu ono, nio osugaane o-ee owunene, aeniki omuntu ono iye tumanyire mbwe ari omwoni.”

25 Ni iye yawairania na awoola otino, “Inze ngʼamanyire ni kuri mbwe Yesu oyo ari omwoni nakuwa yaaya. Ne ekintu ekilala ekineene ekia manyire ni mbwe nyawanga omuwuunu, ni nyingeeno mbona!”

26 Nikuemao waamuwuuzia watino, “Yakukorraki? Yaiguulao amiiso gaao otie?”

27 Omuntu oyo yawairania otino, “Kane ngʼamiire okuwalaga kiomo yaiguulao amiiso gange ni mulowere okuganya na amangʼana gange. Ekigera ni muagala mbwe mbalage kandi niki? Kusi mwona muagala okuwa awalonzi waae?”

28 Waatanika okumurigizra amangʼana aga amanyego ni wawoola watino, “Ni iwue omulonzi waae, ifwe turi awalonzi awa Muusa! 29 Ifwe tumanyire mbwe Katonda yagamba-gamba ni Muusa. No omuntu ono, iye ngatumanyire namba aa aemere.”*

30 Omuntu oyo yawairania otino, “Awiifu agiinyu ago katio makalu! Owuo muwoola mbwe ngamumanyire aa omuntu ono aemere, ni kandi muwona na aiguuleo amiiso gange! 31 Ifwe tumanyire mbwe okuemera ri Katonda ngategerezia okusawa okwa omuntu omwoni. Okusawa okwa omuntu omueere owuti kwengʼene nikwo okwa ategerezia.* 32 Awulao omiire okuwurrako mbwe omuntu agerre amiiso aga omuntu owaiwulwa omuwuunu ni gawona. 33 Kuweeko mbwe omuntu ono ngakaema ku Katonda, ewulao-uwula engira eya akakorremo ekintu ekifwanana ne ekia ankoriire kino.”* 34 Olwa awakangasi awa Awayaudi awo waawurra omuntu oyo na awalaga otio, waamuirania no okusu ni wawoola watino, “Wonako omuntu omwoni owaiwulwa mu owuoni ono. Owuo iwue oona oagala okutugerera!” Nikuemao waamurumusia omwo.

Okuwa omuwuunu mu amangʼana aga Katonda

35 Yesu yawurra mbwe awantu awo warumuusie omuntu owa yaigulao amiiso oyo. Olwa yamuagaana, yamuwuuzia otino, “Mberi ori no okuganya ku *Omuzia owa Omuntu?”

36 Omuntu oyo yamuirania otino, “Ndage Omuzia owa Omuntu oyo kugere muganyeko.”

37 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Wamiire okumuwona, kandi nio ogamba-gamba ni iwue ono.”*

38 Nikuemao yamuikirra no owuti mala amulaga otino, “Omwami, nganyire ku iwue.”

39 Owutuukre, Yesu yalaga awantu awaawanga ao otino, “Okuuza kwange kureeteere awantu ekiina, kugere awantu awa amiiso gaawu mawuunu watanike okuwona, na awaingirizia mbwe wawona, iwo wawe awawuunu.”*

40 Olwa Awafarisaayo wandi awaawanga nae ao waawurra ekia yawoola ekio, waamuwuuzia watino, “Owuo owoolaki ekio? Kusi ifwe twona turi awawuunu?”*

41 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Kuweeko mbwe muri awawuunu, kangato Katonda ngawa-ambira owuoni, ni aeniki aweene muieta mbwe amiiso giinyu gawona, Katonda awa-ambra owuoni owua mukola.”*

Olugero olwa omwayi owa amagondi omulootu

1 Yesu yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe omuntu otalonda ekikulo na aingira mu ekikaari ekia amagondi, ni iye amaala oluwago yagwa munsi, omuntu oyo no omwiwi kandi omusakuzi. 2 Omuntu oingirra mu ekikulo na aingira mu ekikaari, nio omwayi omwene amagondi. 3 Omurinzi amuigurrao ekikulo kandi amagondi gaae gamuwurra na agamba-gamba. Aeta amagondi gaae na amiina gago kandi agakangatra na agafumia enze eya ekikaari. 4 Na amiire okugafumia enze, akangata emberi wago, ni igo gamulonda enyima aeniki gamanyire omwoyo gwae.* 5 Ngagaaza gaalonda omuntu owa gatamanyire. Ni gawuine omuntu omugeni owa gatamanyire, gamusomoka ni gamuemako aeniki ngagamanyire omwoyo ogwa omuntu omugeni.”

6 Yesu yagamba-gamba nawo mu olugero luno, ni ngawakawurra ekia yawalaganga.*

7 Yesu yawalaga kandi otino, “Kuwuene mbalaga mbwe ni inze ekikulo ekia amagondi galonda. 8 Awantu awaansookera woona waaza ni waisemerezia mbwe waazre okurinda amagondi. Iwo waawanga awiiwi na awasakuzi, kandi amagondi gaalowa okuwategerezia.* 9 Inze ni inze ekikulo. Omuntu-umuntu ombitiireko na aingira, arilama. Omuntu oyo aaza okuwa owuyanga okuingira munsi no okufuma enze kandi aaza okutuukra owuayiro.* 10 Omwiwi iye aaza mala okuiwa, okuita no okuona ewintu. Ni inze nyaaza kugere awantu watuukre owulamu, owulamu owusugre owutakeeyiremo ekintu.

11 “Ni inze omwayi omulootu. Omwayi omulootu afumizia amagondi gaae owulamu wuae.* 12 Omwayi omujoje, iye ngatoola amagondi ki agaae. Kutio na awuine ensisi ne eeza, asomoka yareka amagondi. Ensisi egwa ku amagondi kandi amagondi gatanyika. 13 Arumuka aeniki iye ari mala omujoje otawurra amagondi owululu.

14 “Inze ni inze omwayi omulootu. Manyire amagondi gange kandi amagondi gange goona gammanyire.* 15 Soifu Katonda ammanyire kandi noona mumanyire, kandi nyifumiizie okufwira amagondi gange.* 16 Ndi na amagondi gandi agatari aga ekikaari kino. Goona gaaza okuwurra omwoyo gwange kandi gaaza okuizoga ni gano gawe olwizo olulala oluri no omwayi omulala.* 17 Soifu Katonda angonziizie aeniki nganyire okufumia owulamu wuange.

Ndi na amaani aga okuganya okufwa na aga okuirana nyawa omulamu kandi. Soifu Katonda nio owansikirra mbwe nyize nkole otio.”*

19 Ku okuwoola otio, okugawukana kwawaao agati ya awakangasi awa *Awayaudi.* 20 Owungi wuawu waawoola watino, “Katio ngamuwurrako ewia awoola, omuntu ono kane ilalu rimuambre kandi ariko *ewikeeno. Kiwulao ekigera ni tutegerezia amangʼana gaae.”*

21 Na awandi waawoola watino, “Awiifu omuntu ori ne ewikeeno ngaaza yagamb-gamba otio, yaaya. Ekikeeno kikaiguuleo otie amiiso aga omuwuunu?”

Awakangasi awa Awayaudi walowere amangʼana aga Yesu

22 Nikuemao, gwawangao omugomo ogwa okuingirizia amiire aga *ekaalu yaeruziwua Yerusaleemu.* Ziawanga mu amiire aga entwigo 23 kandi kwatuukra Yesu ni yawanga na agenda-genda mu olwanyi olwa ekaalu, asi aetwa mbwe ekiwiidi ekia Solomooni.* 24 Awakangasi awa Awayaudi waamuikumiako watanika okumuwuuzia watino, “Tuuza okuweerako ni tuiwuzia-wuuzia otino ku iwue kutuuka ri? No ori *Meesia ngotulaga-ulaga kalala kugere tumanye!”*

25 Yesu yawairania otino, “Miire okuwalaga ni mulowere okuwa no okuganya. Amankono aga nkola na amaani aga Soifu Katonda goona galagana owa ndi.* 26 Ngamuri no okuganya aeniki ngamuri amagondi gange.* 27 Amagondi gange gategerezia omwoyo gwange, gammanyire kandi gandonda.* 28 Nga-aa owulamu owutariwua kandi ngagarifwa.

Kutio awulao-uwula omuntu ooza yagatoola mu amakono aga Soifu Katonda. 30 Inze ni Soifu Katonda turi ekintu ekilala.”*

31 Olwa yawoola-uwoola otio otino, awakangasi awa Awayaudi kandi waatoola amawaale mbwe wamukube nago.* 32 Ni Yesu yawalaga otino, “Miire okuwakorra ewintu ewikate-kaate ewingi, na amaani aga Soifu Katonda, muwona na amiiso. Kutio mundageko ekilala ekia muagala okunkubra na amawaale?”

33 Iwo waamuirania watino, “Ngatuagala okukukuba namba ku ekilala ku ewia omiire okukola wino, ni tuagala okukukuba aeniki oona eriina eria Katonda. Iwue omuntu-umuntu ono okaifwanania ni Katonda otie?”*

34 Yesu yawairania otino, “Mukawoolaki ku amangʼana agaajojwa mu *Ensikirra ziinyu agawoola mbwe, ‘Inze Katonda mboorre mbwe muri katonda.’†† 35 Ee ni kuwuene mbwe Katonda yaeta awantu awaya-aa *endagano yaae mbwe wari katonda. Kiomo tumanyire mbwe endagano ngeonwa, 36 muingirizia mutie ku omuntu owa Katonda omwene nio owalowola amutengeka ki owaae omwene kandi amutuma ku ekialo? Katio muingirizia mbwe mukola geeza okunyingirra mbwe nyona eriina eria Katonda ni mboola mbwe, ‘Ndi Omuzia owa Katonda?’* 37 Ni kuri mbwe ngʼankola ewintu ewia Soifu Katonda akola, ao otio mulowe okuwa no okuganya ku inze. 38 Ni, ni nkola emirimo egia Soifu Katonda, namba ni mutaweere no okuganya ku inze, muwe no okuganya ku amankono ago mbenanu. Kandi ni mukorre mutio, muuza okumanya muwule ni kaoozi, mbwe Soifu Katonda andimo kandi noona murimo — turi ekintu ekilala.”

39 Awakangasi awa Awayaudi kandi waageezaania mbwe wamuambe, ni Yesu yamizuka mu amakono gaawu agia.*

40 Yesu yairana enyima kandi agia a-ambuka oluuzi olwa Yordaani, agia akola okuweera asi aa Yowaana Omubatiisi yawanga na abatiisa awantu kale,* 41 kandi awantu awangi waamugiako. Waawoola agati yaawu aweene watino, “Kukawa mbwe Yowaana ngakakola amankono namba kalala, na amangʼana goona aga yawoola ku omuntu ono gari kuwuene.”* 42 Awantu awangi ino awaawanga ao waawa no okuganya ku Yesu.*

Owulwire owua Lazaaro

1 Yawangao omuntu wundi ku omugizi ogwa Bethania owaetwanga mbwe Lazaaro. Yawanga na amenyere Bethania eyo ni waawamwawu waae awekiala Maaria ni Mariitha. Omuntu ono nyanga omuwiri gwamukuba wukalu ino. 2 Maaria wamwawu Lazaaro ono, nio owa lunyima *yafuka amavuta ku amagulu aga Yesu, nikuemao atanika okugaeya ne emvwiri ziae.* 3 Kutio, waamwawu Lazaaro awekiala wano waatumra Yesu amangʼana mbwe, “Omwami, Lazaaro omwiko waao owa ogonziizie ari omulwire ino.”

4 Olwa Yesu yawurra *omutumwa ogwo, yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Owulwire wuno ngawuuza okuita Lazaaro ilala, yaaya. Ni kuno kuikorre oku-aa Katonda owunene kandi kugere Omuzia owa Katonda aeewue owunene.”*

5 Yesu yawanga na agonziizie Lazaaro alala ni waamwawu waae Maaria ni Mariitha. 6 Kukawa mbwe yawagonzia otio, olwa yawurra mbwe Lazaaro ari mulwire, yamala amiire awiri nikwo afuma na agia aa Lazaaro.

Okufwa okwa Lazaaro

7 Nikuemao, Yesu yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Mutuirane Yudeea.”

8 Awalonzi waae waamuirania watino, “Omugerezi, oagala mbwe tuirane Yudeea ni izuuzi ano awakangasi awa *Awayaudi waagalanga okukuba eyo na amawaale?”*

9 Yesu yawairania mu olugero otino, “Omuwasu ngaguri ne enyinga ikumi ni iwiri ezia okukola emirimo? Omuntu ogenda-genda omuwasu ngaiguunya yaaya aeniki awona no owueru owumurika ekialo kino.* 10 Ogenda-genda owuire iye aiguunya aeniki agenda-genda aa owueru wuwula.”* 11 Ni Yesu yamala okuwalaga otio yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “Omwiko iifu Lazaaro ari mu endoolo agona. Ni ngenda eyo okumulamusia.”*

12 Awalonzi waae waamuirania watino, “Omwami, ni kuri mbwe ari mu endoolo agona, kane aaza okugia geeza.” 13 Yesu iye yawanga na agamba-gamba ku okufwa okwa Lazaaro, na awalonzi waae iwo waingirizianga mbwe yagamba-gambanga ku endoolo ezia awantu wagona zino. 14 Kutio Yesu yawalaga owuigoloole otino, “Lazaaro amiire okufwa, 15 kandi nsangaarre ino mbwe okwo kuikorre ni mbula a-ampi ao, aeniki okwo kuuza okugera muwe no okuganya ku inze. Ni mutugie aa ari.”

16 Thomaasi (owalukwa eriina Mulongo) yalaga awalonzi awiina waae otino, “Mutugie no Omwami twona, aa namba na agia okuitwa, tugie tufwe nae.”*

Yesu awoorre mbwe nio okuziuka kandi nio owulamu

17 Olwa Yesu na awalonzi waae waatuuka a-ampi no omugizi, yatuukra Lazaaro na amiire okumala amiire ane mu iwuuta omwa ya-awirwamo.* 18 Omugizi ogwa Bethania gwawanga owuliire owukasuga emaeli iwiri okuema Yerusaleemu. 19 Kwatuukra na Awayaudi wangi ino waaza Bethania, aawu Maaria ni Mariitha okuwaoreezia emioyo ku okuteesia Lazaaro wamwawu.

20 Olwa Mariitha yawurra mbwe Yesu aaza, yafuma okugia okumuaganra, ni Maaria iye yasigala engo. 21 Mariitha yalaga Yesu otino, “Omwami, kuweeko mbwe wawerenga ano, wamwifu ngakafwire yaaya! 22 Ni manyire mbwe namba nyingeeno Katonda aaza okuku-aa ekintu-ukintu ekia omusawire.”

23 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Wamwinyu aaza okuziuka awe omulamu.”

24 Maritha yamuirania otino, “Manyire mbwe aaza okuziuka nyanga olwa owuire owua owutuuko.”*

25 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Inze ni inze oziusia awantu kandi ni inze o-aa awantu owulamu. Omuntu-umuntu ori no okuganya ku inze aaza okuwa omulamu kandi, namba ni kuri mbwe amiire okufwa.* 26 Kandi omuntu-umuntu ori omulamu na aweere no okuganya ku inze ngarifwa. Mberi oganyire na amangʼana ago?”

27 Mariitha yamuirania otino, “Ee Omwami, ndi no okuganya mbwe iwue ni iwue *Meesia, Omuzia owa Katonda, owawanga na asugaane aaze ku ekialo.”*

Amaziga aga Yesu gayookere

28 Ni Mariitha yamala okuwoola otio, yairana engo agia aeta Maaria na awantu watamanyire amulaga otino, “Omugerezi amiire okuuza ari a-ampi ano akueta.” 29 Olwa Maaria yawurra amangʼana ago yaema afuma wuangu-wuangu okugia okuaganra Yesu. 30 Yesu yawanga na akiari okuingira ku omugizi ogwa Bethania, ni yawanga na akiari mala aa Mariitha yawanga na amurekere. 31 Awayaudi awaawanga ni Maaria mu enyumba ni wamuoreezia omwoyo waafuma okumulonda olwa waamuwona na afuma enze wuangu-wuangu. Iwo waaingirizianga mbwe owuo afuma agia ku ekiwaga ekia wamwawu okurra.

32 Olwa Maaria yatuuka aa Yesu yawanga mala amuwona, yakuba ansi amasigamo atanika okuwoola otino, “Omwami, kuweeko mbwe owerenga ano, wamwifu ngakafwire yaaya!” 33 Olwa Yesu yamuwona na arra wululu, alala na Awayaudi awaaza okumuoreezia omwoyo woona ni warra wululu otio, yawurra owululu kandi yainyaasia ino mu omwoyo gwae. 34 Yawawuuzia mbwe, “Mumuawiirei?”

Awantu awo waamuirania watino, “Omwami iza tugie owone aa tumuawiire.”

35 Yesu yarra amaziga gayooka. 36 Okwo kwagera Awayaudi awaawanga ao wawoola watino, “Awiifu muwoneko kiomo yawerenga na agonziizie Lazaaro!” 37 Na awandi ku iwo waawoola watino, “No omuntu ono yaiguulao amiiso aga omuntu omuwuunu, ngaeserenga okuigarra olumbe luno lureke okuita Lazaaro?”*

Yesu aziuusie Lazaaro

38 Amasaasra kandi ga-amba Yesu agia ku ekiwaga aa waawanga ni wamuawiire. Ekiwaga kiawanga iwuuta eria iwaale riteerwe ku omunwa.* 39 Yesu yalaga awantu awaawangao awo otino, “Mutooleo oguwaale oguri ku omunwa ao ogwo.”

Ni Maritha wamwawu Lazaaro yamuirania otino, “Omwami nyingeeno katio awunya ekivundu aeniki amiire okumala amiire ane mu iwuuta.”

40 Olwa yawoola otio Yesu yamuirania otino, “Ngʼamberenga ni miire okukulaga mbwe no oweere no okuganya, ooza okuwona amaani aga Katonda?”

41 Kutio waatoolao oguwaale ogwo. Nikuemao Yesu yawarra kungulu awoola otino, “Soifu Katonda, nkuikaziizie aeniki otegerezia okuagala kwange enyinga ziona ezia nkusawire. Nyingeeno nkusawa mbwe olagane amaani gaao kugere awantu wano wagawone. 42 Manyire mbwe ompurra enyinga ziona. Ni nkusawa no omwoyo oguri kungulu otino kugere awantu awaimeriire ni inze ano wano, wawe no okuganya mbwe ni iwue owantuma.”* 43 Ni yamala okuwoola otio, yaetania no omwoyo ogwa kungulu otino, “Lazaaro, fuma enze!” 44 Lazaaro yafuma enze na awasaniiwue amagulu, amakono ne ekieni ne enguwo ezia ya-awirwa nazio. Nikuemao Yesu yalaga awantu awo otino, “Mumusiwuleko enguwo ezio mumureke agie.”*

Awakangasi awa Awayaudi waagala engira eya okuita Yesu

45 Owungi owua awantu awaawanga ni waazre okuwona Maaria waawona ekintu ekia Yesu yakola ekio kandi waawa no okuganya ku iye.*

46 Na awantu wandi waairana ku *Awafarisaayo wagia wawalaga ekia Yesu akorre. 47 Kutio Awafarisaayo na awakangasi awa *awoozia waaikazia ekiina alala na *awagaaka awa Awayaudi waiwuuzia watino, “Ekia tuesa okukola niki, nikulondokana na amankono amakate-kaate aga omuntu ono akola.” 48 Ni tumuganyiire agie emberi okukola amankono otino, awantu woona waaza okumuganyako. No okwo kuuza kwagera awakangasi awa Awaruumi waaza waaona *ekaalu iifu eno alala ne ekialo kiifu kino kiona.*

49 Omulala ku awakangasi owa awoozia awa omwaka ogwo, oetwa mbwe Kaifa yawalaga otino, “Awiifu kane kiwulao ekintu ekia mumanyire! 50 Mberi mumanyire mbwe kulootu no omuntu mulala afwiriire awantu wiifu woona, okukira ne ekialo kiifu kiona kionerwe?”* 51 Olwa Kaifa yawoola otio ngaakawoola amangʼana gaae omwene yaaya. Ni, kiomo Omukangasi owa awoozia ku omwaka ogwo, yawoolanga mala owugambi owuemere ku Katonda mbwe Yesu aaza okufwira ekialo ekia Awayaudi. 52 Ni ngʼane ekialo ekio kiengʼene, ni yaazanga okufwira kugia awaana awa Katonda awatanyiike mu ewialo wiona, awakumie awate wawe ekintu ekilala.*

53 Okuemera nyanga olwo awakangasi awa Awayaudi waatanika okuagala engira eya okuita Yesu.* 54 Kutio Yesu yatanika okugenda-genda mu ekialo ekia Yudeea owuiwisi kugere watamuita.

Maaria awakre amagulu aga Yesu na amavuta

1 Na amiire mukaaga gaawanga ni gakiari kugere omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka gutuuke, Yesu yairana ku omugizi ogwa Bethania aa Lazaaro yawanga na amenyere. Lazaaro ono nio owa Yesu yawanga na aziusie amutoola ku awafu. 2 Yesu yaikaziwua okuria okwa igulo kandi Mariitha nio owawanga na a-aa awageni okuria, ni Lazaaro oona yawanga omulala ku awaarianga na awageni awaawanga ni Yesu ku emeesa.*

3 Nikuemao Maaria yatoola *amavuta agawuya esaami aga naadi agakasuga enusu eya eliita kandi aga iguzi eria kungulu, agafuka ku amagulu aga Yesu nikwo atanika okugaeya ne emvwiri ziae omwene. Okuwunya okulootu okwa amavuta ago kwaizula enyumba eyo yoona.*

4 Ni Yudaasi Iskarioti, omulala ku awalonzi waae owa lunyima yamuguzia, yawoola otino,* 5 “Ekigera na amavuta ago gataguziiwue amasendi aga omusaara ogwa omuntu akaria ku omwaka omulala, kugere amasendi ago gagawirwe awataka niki?”* 6 Yudaasi ngaakawoolanga otio mbwe ya-ambranga awataka amasaasra yaaya, ni yawoolanga otio aeniki yawanga omuwiiki owa amasendi kandi yaiwanga amasendi agaateewuanga mu amakono gaae mbwe awiike.

7 Ni Yesu yamuirania otino, “Mureke okunyaasia omukazi ono. Mureke awake omuwiri gwange amavuta okuguikagia ku owuire owua owuawizi wuange.* 8 Awataka awo mukiaza okuwa nawo amiire goona, ni inze ngamuuza okuwa ni inze amiire goona.”*

Awakangasi awa awoozia waagala engira eya okuita Lazaaro

9 Ni wino wiaikolanga, omurima ogwa awantu awangi waawurra amangʼana mbwe Yesu ari Bethania kandi waamuuzako. Ngawakaaza okuwona Yesu kwengʼene, ni waaza ino-ino okuwona Lazaaro owa Yesu yaziusia aema ku awafu. 10 Kutio awakangasi awa *awoozia waatanika okuagala engira eya wakaitiramo Lazaaro yoona 11 aeniki ku amangʼana aga okuziuka kwae okwo, *Awayaudi awangi waawa no okuganya ku Yesu.*

Yesu aingiziiwue Yerusaleemu ne ekisangaalo

(Math 21:1–11; Mari 11:1–11; Luuk 19:28–40)

12 Enkio walwo omurima ogwa awantu awangi awaawanga ni waazre mu omugomo Yerusaleemu waawurra mbwe Yesu ari ku engira agia Yerusaleemu. 13 Kutio waavuna ensagia ezifwanana ne ezia omuti ogwa enaasi, wagia nazio okuagaanra Yesu ni waogerera watino,

“Osaana!

Asereekwe iye ooza ku eriina eria *Omwami Katonda!†

Omwami owa Awaisraeli asereekwe!”*

14 Yesu yatuukra entikiri ekiari embuuka aniina aikalako na agia mala kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe, 15 “Mutawa no owuti inywe awantu awa Yerusaleemu. Muwoneko Omwami iinyu aaza na aniinre entikiri ekiari embuuka.”†

16 Awalonzi awa Yesu ngawakamanya ekia ekiaikola kino kialagananga. No olwa Yesu yaziusiwua aema ku awafu kandi aeewua owunene, awalonzi waae waagia wamanya mbwe yakorrwa ewintu ewia yajojwako kale mbwe arikorrwa.*

17 Omurima ogwa awantu awaawanga ni Yesu olwa yaziusia Lazaaro okuema ku awafu waagia emberi okulanzia amangʼana aga okuziuka okwa Lazaaro. 18 Awantu awangi awaawurra amangʼana aga amankono aga Yesu yakola gano waagia okumuagaanra. 19 Kutio *Awafarisaayo waatanika okuwoola agati yaawu aweene watino, “Muwona, ifwe kiwulao ekia tukola. Ngamuwonako kiomo ekialo kiona kigaluuke kimulonda?”*

Awagiriiki wagala okuwona Yesu

20 Awandi ku awantu awaawanga ni wagiire okusawa Katonda Yerusaleemu, mu omugomo ogwa Pasaaka ogwo, waawanga Awagiriiki.† 21 Awagiriiki awo waagia ku Piliipo, owawanga na aema Bethsaida mu ekialo ekia Galiili, wamusawa watino, “Omukangasi, tuagiilenga okuwona Yesu.”*

22 Piliipo yagia alaga Andereeya amangʼana ago, nikwo waagia alala wairra Yesu amangʼana ago.

23 Yesu yawairania na awalaga otino, “Amiire aga oku-aa *Omuzia owa Omuntu owunene gamiire okutuuka.* 24 Kuwuene mbalaga mbwe ne emwo eya emere ekiari okugwa mu ilowa efwe, esigala-usigala endala otio. Ni ne efwire, efumia emwo enyingi okukira kiomo yawanga endala. 25 Omuntu ogonziizie owulamu wuae omwene aaza okuwuteesia, no omuntu oregere owulamu wuae ku ekialo kino, iye ariwutuukra mu omulamu owutariwua.* 26 Omuntu onkorra paka andonde, kandi asi-uasi aa ndi, awemirimo wange woona wariwaao. Soifu Katonda aaza oku-aa awankorra emirimo owunene.”*

Yesu agambe-gambre ku okufwa kwae

27 Yesu yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Nyingeeno omwoyo gwange guinyaasia kandi ngʼamanyire mbwe mboole mbwe, ‘Soifu nunule ku emidambo egiri emberi wange gino?’ Yaaya, kino nikio ekiandeeta okukola, kutio ngʼanyiza okuwoola ekintu.* 28 Soifu Katonda, aa eriina riao owunene!”

Nikuemao, omwoyo gwaema ku igulu ogwawoola gutino, “Miire oku-aa eriina riange owunene kandi nkiaza okuri-aa owunene.”*

29 Omurima ogwawanga ao gwawurra omwoyo ogwo kandi waawoola mbwe gwaduma. Na awandi waawoola mbwe *enyankoi nio owagamba-gamba ni Yesu.

30 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ni inywe omwoyo oguemere ku igulu guno guuzre okutunzia, ni ngʼani inze yaaya.* 31 Zino nizio enyinga ezia Katonda aaza okukengera ekialo kino ekiina kandi ezia Katonda aaza okurumusia *Sataani omukangasi owa ekialo kino.* 32 Ni, ni miire okugingiriziwua kungulu, nyiza okureeta awantu woona ku inze.” 33 Yesu yawoola otio okulagana olumbe olwa yaazanga okufwa.

34 Omurima ogwa awantu ogwo gwamuirania gutino, “Kane ngatwamiire okuwurra ni kuema ku *ensikirra ezia Katonda mbwe *Kristo ariwaao omulamu amiire goona? Kandi katio iwue oreeta otie okuwoola mbwe, ‘Omuzia owa Omuntu paka agingiriziwue kungulu?’ Kusi ‘Omuzia owa Omuntu’ oyo naanu?”**

Yesu nio owueru owua ekialo

35 Nikuemao Yesu yawalaga otino, “Muuza okuwa no owueru mala ku amiire amatono. Mugende-gende no owueru wukiario, ekierema ni kikiari okuamba ekialo kiwasanikire. Omuntu ogenda-genda mu ekierema ngamanyire aa agia. 36 Mute okuganya kwinyu ku owueru, ni mukiari nawuo. Okwo kuuza okugera muwe awazia awa owueru.” Ni Yesu yamala okuwoola amangʼana gano goona, yawaiwisako afuma awareka ao agia.**

37 Kukawa mbwe Yesu yawanga na amiire okukola amankono amangi ino emberi waawu, ni ngawakawa no okuganya ku iye.* 38 Kuno kwaikola kugere amangʼana aga Isaaya *omugambi owa Katonda yawoola gatuuke kuwuene, olwa yawoola mbwe:

“Oo! Omwami Katonda, naanu omiire okuganya amangʼana aga tulanzia?

Kusi naanu owa omiire okulaga amaani aga okukono kwao?”†*

39 Kutio ngawakaesanga okuwa no okuganya ku Yesu, mala kiomo Isaaya yawoola a-andi mbwe, 40 “Katonda amiire okuziwa amiiso gaawu, kandi amiire okugera emioyo giawu giwa emikalu ngʼa. Wusa-wusa, amiiso gaawu gaaza gawona kandi emioyo giawu giiza giaingizia amangʼana, mala wakagaluuke wagie ku Katonda awalamie.”†* 41 Isaaya yagamba-gambanga otio aeniki yawona owunene owua Yesu yaazanga okuwa nawuo.* 42 Kukawa kutio, awantu awangi ino, kugia awandi ku awakangasi awa Awayaudi, waamuganyako. Ni ku okutia okwa waatia Awafarisaayo, ngawakawoolanga owuyanga mbwe woona waawanga no okuganya ku Omwami Yesu. Waatia mbwe wakarumusiiwue mu *esinagoogi.* 43 Kuno kulagana mbwe waagonzia okutondowolwa na awantu okukira okutondowolwa ni Katonda.*

Olowere okuganya ku Yesu alowere okuganya ku Katonda

44 Nikuemao kandi, Yesu yawoola no omwoyo ogwa kungulu otino, “Omuntu oweere no okuganya ku inze, omuntu oyo ngaganyire mala ku inze nyengʼene, na aganyire kugia ku Katonda owantuma. 45 Kandi na ambarra, awona Katonda owantuma.* 46 Nyizre ku ekialo kuno ki owueru, kugere omuntu-umuntu onganyireko atawa mu ekierema.* 47 Owurra amangʼana gange, ni yareka okugarinda, inze ngʼamukengera ekiina.

Yesu aoziizie amagulu aga awalonzi waae

1 Omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka gwawanga ampi. Yesu yawanga na amiire okumanya mbwe enyinga ziae ezia okuema ku ekialo kuno airane ku Katonda swae ziawanga ni zimiire okutuuka. Aeniki Yesu yawanga na agonziinzie awantu waae awa yawanga nawo ku ekialo kuno ino, owuire wuno yawalaga olugonzi lwae lwona aa luaganiire.**

2 Okuria okwa igulo kwawanga ni kureetwa ku emeesa. Okwo kwatuukra ne *Ekikeeno kimiire okuniina Yudaasi Omuiskarioti omuzia owa Simioni, agie aguzie Yesu.*

3 Yesu yawanga na amanyire mbwe Katonda Swae yawanga na amiire okuta ewintu wiona mu amakono gaae. Lwona yawanga na amanyire mbwe yawanga ampi okuirana ku Katonda owa yaemako.*

4 Kutio Yesu yaema avuula enguwo yaae eya kungulu nikwo atoola etawulo asiwa mu ensinzi yaae. 5 Nikuemao yafuka amanzi mu ebeseeni atanika okuozia amagulu aga awalonzi waae, kandi na agakazia ne etawulo eya yawanga na asiwre mu ensinzi.*

6 Olwa yatuuka mbwe katio agia okuozia amagulu aga Simioni Petro, Petro yamulaga otino, “Yaaya Omwami, inze ngosugaane oozie amagulu gange yawa!”

7 Yesu yawairania otino, “Ekia nkola nyingeeno kino, iwue ngokimanyire. Ne emberi eyo, ooza okukimanya.”

8 Petro yamulaga otino, “Yaaya, inze otaaza wanyozia amagulu.”

Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “Ni ntaoziizie amagulu gaao, ngori omulala ku awantu wange!”

9 Simioni Petro yamuirania na awoola otino, “Omwami ni kuri kutio, otaozia amagulu gange gengʼene, ni kane nyozie namba amakono no omutwe gwange gwona!”

10 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Owurra! Omuntu omiire okuiyoga omuwiri gwae gwona guri omweru. Ekisigaale no okuozia amagulu gengʼene. Mwona muri awantu aweeru, ni mala omuntu omulala engʼene nio otari omweru.”*

11 Yesu yawoola mbwe, “Omuntu omulala engʼene nio otari omweru,” aeniki yawanga na amanyire omuntu owaazanga okumuguzia.*

12 Ni Yesu yawanga na amiire okuozia amagulu aga awalonzi waae, yatoola enguwo yaae eya kungulu aiwoya nikwo airana agia aikala aa yawanga na aikaale. Yalaga awalonzi waae otino, “Mberi mumanyire ekia ekintu ekia nyema okuwakorra ekio kilagana? 13 Munyeta ‘Omugerezi’ kandi ‘Omwami.’ Mukola geeza ni munyeta otio, aeniki ndi Omugerezi kandi ndi Omwami. 14 Katio ni kuri mbwe inze Omwami kandi Omugerezi iinyu, ni inze oiisiizie nyaozia amagulu giinyu, mwona musugaane muozie amagulu aga awiina wiinyu.* 15 Mbaeere ekilago mbwe musugaane mukole kiomo mbakoriire.* 16 Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe awulao owemirimo ori omukaate okukira omuntu owa akorra. Lwona awulao *omutumwa okirre omutumre.* 17 Katio aeniki mumanyire ewintu wino, Katonda aaza okuwasereka ni mulondokaane nawio.”

18 Yesu yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Ni mboorre otio, ngʼangamba-gamba ku inywe mwona, yaaya. Omwene manyire awa miire okulowola. Paka kuwe kutio kugere amangʼana agaajojwa mu *endagano agawoola mbwe ‘Omuntu oria ni inze ku emeesa angaluukeko,’† gatuuke kuwuene.* 19 Mbalagre amangʼana gano ni gakiari okuikola, kugere ni muuza okugawona ni gaikola, muwe no okuganya mbwe kuwuene ndi *Meesia.*

Yesu awoorre ooza okumuguzia

(Math 26:20–25; Mari 14:17–21; Luuk 22:21–23)

21 Ni yamala okuwoola otio, Yesu yainyaasia mu omwoyo gwae mala awoola otino, “Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe omulala ku inywe aaza okunguzia.” 22 Awalonzi waae waatanika okuiwarra agati yaawu aweene ne emioyo giawu giluguula ino omuntu owa Yesu agamba-gambako mbwe yagianga okumuguzia. 23 Ku enyinga ezio, omulala ku awalonzi awa Yesu owa Yesu yawanga na agonziizie ino, yawanga na aiyegeeke ku ekifuwa ekia Yesu.†* 24 Simioni Petro yasimia omulonzi owa Yesu oyo otino, “Muwuuzieko mbwe owa awoola oyo naanu?”

25 Nikuemao omulonzi owa Yesu owawanga na amuiyegeekeko oyo yamuwuuzia otino, “Oyo naanu ooza okukorra otio, Omwami?”

26 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Omuntu owa nyiza oku-aa omukaati ogwa ngia okuinia mu oludaawo, niye.” Kutio ni yamala okuinia omukaati mu oludaawo, yagu-aa Yudaasi omuzia owa Simioni Omuiskarioti. 27 Olwa Yudaasi yatoola-utoola omukaati ogwo aguria otino, *Sataani yamuingiramo. Nikuemao Yesu yamulaga otino, “Ekia oagala okukola ekio, kikole wuangu-wuangu.”* 28 Ku awantu woona awaawanga ni waria nae ku emeesa, awulao namba omulala owamanya ekia Yesu yalaganga Yudaasi. 29 Awandi waaingirizianga mbwe andi Yesu amulaga mbwe agie agule ewintu ewia enkio waazanga okukola nawio mu omugomo nakuwa mbwe atooleko ekintu a-ee awataka, aeniki Yudaasi nio owawanga omuwiiki owa amasendi.* 30 Olwa Yudaasi yamala okuria omukaati ogwo otino, yafuma enze wuangu-wuangu. Ezio ziawanga enyinga ezia owuire.

31 Ni Yudaasi yawanga na amiire okugia, Yesu yalaga awalonzi wandi awaasigala nae otino, “Nyingeeno enyinga zituukre ezia *Omuzia owa Omuntu aaza okuewua owunene kandi Katonda oona atuukre owunene ni kumuwitrako. 32 Ni Katonda na atuukiire owunene ni wumuemako, omwene aaza oku-aa omuzia waae owunene wuae kandi aaza okukola otio wuangu ino.* 33 Waana wange, nyiza okuwa ni inywe ku enyinga entono ino.

Yesu awoorre mbwe Petro aaza okumulowa

(Math 26:33–35; Mari 14:29–31)

36 Simioni Petro yamuwuuzia otino, “Omwami ooza okugiai?” Yesu yamuirania mbwe, “Aa ngia ngamuesa okundonda mugie eyo nyingeeno. Ni murindonda eyo nyanga.”*

37 Petro yamuwuuzia otino, “Omwami, ekiiza kiandowera okukulonda nyingeeno niki? Nganyire okukufumizia owulamu wuange nkufwire.”

38 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Owoola mbwe ooza okumfumizizia owulamu wuao omfwire? Nkulaga kuwuene mbwe, engoko ngeeza okulagula no okiari okulowa kasatu mbwe ngomanyire.”*

Yesu a-ambiizie awalonzi waae amaani

1 Yesu yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “Mutaaza mwawa no okuinyaasia mu emioyo giinyu. Mute okuganya kwinyu ku Katonda, kandi ku inze noona. 2 Nyagala mumanye mbwe mu enyumba eya Soifu Katonda garimo amayumba amangi kandi gawuleoko, nkawalagre otio.

5 Omulala ku awalonzi waae oetwa mbwe Thomaasi yamuwuuzia otino, “Omwami, tukamanya otie engira eira awantu asi aa ogia, ni ifwe ngatumanyire aa ogia ao?”*

6 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Inze ni inze engira, ni inze owuene kandi ni inze owulamu. Awulao omuntu ooza yagia ku Soifu na atambitreko.* 7 Kuweeko mbwe mummanyire, mukamanyire Soifu yoona. Okuemera reero, mumumanyire kandi mumiire okumuwona.”

8 Nikuemao Piliipo yamulaga otino, “Omwami, tulage Soifu oyo kandi no omiire, okwo kuuza okutusuga.”

9 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Piliipo, miire okuwa ni inywe ku amiire amangi otino, no owoola mbwe ngommanyire? Ngomanyire mbwe omuntu ombwine, awuine Soifu? Kandi iwue oreeta otie okumbuuzia mbwe, ‘Tulageko Soifu oyo?’* 10 Iwue ngoganya ni mboola mbwe Soifu andimo kandi mbwe noona murimo — turi ekintu ekilala?

18 Yesu yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “Ngʼanyiza okuwareka ki awawisa yaaya, ni nyiza okuwaazako. 19 Wuangu ano awantu awa ekialo ngawaaza okumbona kandi, ni inywe muuza okumbona. Okuwa kwange omulamu kuuza okugera mwona muwe awalamu.* 20 Owuire owuo murimanya mbwe inze ndi mu Soifu — turi ekintu ekilala, kandi mbwe inywe awanganyireko mbarimo kandi mwona mundimo — turi ekintu ekilala.

22 Nikuemao, omulala ku awalonzi waae oetwa mbwe Yudaasi (Yudaasi ono agawuuke ni Yudaasi Omusikarioti) yamuwuuzia otino, “Omwami, ekigera no oagala mala okuuza okutuifumira ifwe twengʼene na awantu awa ekialo ngooza okufumira niki?”

23 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Omuntu na angonziizie, aaza okurinda ensikirra ziange. Soifu Katonda aaza okumugonzia kandi inze alala ni Soifu tuuza okumuuzako tumumenyemo.* 24 Omuntu otangonziizie, iye ngaaza okurinda ensikirra ziange.

Yesu nio omuzabiibu ogwa kuwuene

1 Yesu yagia emberi na alaga awalonzi waae otino, “Inze ni inze *Omuzabiibu ogwa kuwuene kandi Soifu Katonda nio omurimi.* 2 Aalula ensagia ziange ziona ezitaama ensaafu, ne ensagia ziona eziama ensaafu azialurra geeza kugere zisewuke zisonge okuama ensaafu enyingi ino.* 3 Inywe mumiire okuwa aweeru aeniki amangʼana agamiire okuweerako ni mbalaga gamiire okuwaeruyia.* 4 Mumbeeko enyinga ziona, ni noona nyiza okuwa ni inywe enyinga ziona.

Awekialo waaza okurega awalonzi awa Yesu

18 “Na awantu awa ekialo wawaregere, muwe no okumanya mbwe inze ni inze waasooka okurega kuluweri. 19 Mufwananeko na awantu awa ku ekialo kuno, kangato awantu awa ekialo wawagonziizie ki awalala ku iwo.

Okuiyumba okwa awalonzi kurigaluka kuwe owusangaavu

16 Yesu yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “Nyiza okuwareka mbaemeko mu amiiso wuangu ano, ni kandi kuwuangu nyiza okuirana mumbone kandi.”* 17 Awandi ku awalonzi waae waatanika okuiwuuzia agati yaawu aweene watino, “Na awoola mbwe, ‘Nyiza okuwareka mbaemeko mu amiiso wuangu ano, ni kandi kuwuangu nyiza okuirana mumbone kandi’ lwona mbwe, ‘Aeniki ngia ku Soifu,’ ao ekia alagana niki?” 18 Waagia emberi ni waiwuuzia mbwe, “Alaganaki na agamba-gamba ku ‘kuwuangu?’ Ifwe ngatuwurra ekia awoola.”

19 Yesu yamanya mbwe awalonzi waae waagalanga okumuwuuzia ekingʼana kino, kutio yawawuuzia otino, “Owuo muiwuuzia aweene ku ekia amangʼana aga mboorrenga mbwe, ‘Nyiza okuwareka mbaemeko mu amiiso wuangu ano, ni kandi kuwuangu nyiza okuirana mumbone kandi’ galagana?” 20 Mbalaga kuwuene mbwe muuza okuweerao ni murra wululu, na awantu awa ekialo iwo ni wari no owusangaavu.

Twona tukuwurra geeza ino, aa kiwulao katio ekintu ekia omuntu akawuuzia ku ewia owoola. Kino kigera ni tuganya mbwe ni kuwuene mbwe waema ku Katonda.”

31 Yesu yawairania otino, “Thoo, nyingeeno katio muganyire! 32 Enyinga ziiza, kandi zimiire mala okutuuka, ezia muuza okutanyika omuntu ki omuntu na agia engo waae, kandi ndisigala omwene.

Yesu aisawira omwene

1 Ni Yesu yamala okulaga awalonzi waae amangʼana gano, yaginga amiiso gaae awarra kungulu ku igulu mala atanika okusawa Katonda otino,

“Soifu Katonda, enyinga ziange katio zimiire okutuuka. Ganya o-ee Omuzia waao owunene kandi Omuzia oona aku-ee owunene.* 2 Wampa amaani ku awantu woona kugere nyezanie owulamu owutariwua ku awantu woona awa wanteera mu amakono.* 3 Owulamu owutariwua owuo wuema ku okukumanya iwue Katonda omulala engʼene ori kuwuene, ni inze Yesu *Kristo owa iwue omwene watuma.* 4 Emirimo egia wampa miire Soifu, kandi ku okukola otio awantu awangi ku ekialo kuno, wamiire okuwona owunene wuao.* 5 Soifu, nyingeeno katio mpe owunene emberi waao omwene, owunene owua nyawanga nawuo ni iwue kale ne ekialo kikiari okuwaao.*

Yesu asawira awalonzi waae

6 “Soifu, miire okugera awantu awa wampa, no owatoola agati ya awantu awa ekialo, wakumanya. Awantu wano waawanga awaao omwene, ni wawata mu amakono gange kandi wamiire okurinda ansikirra ziao. 7 Nyingeeno katio wamanyire mbwe ewintu ewia miire okuwa ni nkola wiona, miire okukola na amaani agakuemako. 8 Nyawa-aa amangʼana gaao aga wampa kandi waganya wagaingizia. Wamiire kumanya kuwuene mbwe nyakuemako kandi waganya mbwe ni iwue owantuma. 9 Ngansawira awantu awa ku ekialo yaaya, ni nsawira awantu awa wampa wano, aeniki wari awantu waao omwene. 10 Ewintu ewia ndi nawio wiona ne ewiao kandi ewia ori nawio wiona ne ewiange.

Awulao namba omulala omiire okuteeka, ni mala omulala owawaao mbwe paka ateeke okutuusia amangʼana aga *endagano yawoola kale.*

13 “Nyingeeno ndi ampi okukuuzako, ni mboola amangʼana gano ni nkiari ku ekialo kuno.

Yesu asawira awantu woona awaazanga okumuganyako

20 “Katonda Soifu, okusawa kwange ngakuri ku iwo wengʼene, yaaya, ni nsawira namba awantu woona awaaza okuwa no okuganya ku inze ni kuwitra ku amangʼana aga waaza okuwalanzizia. 21 Nkusawa Soifu mbwe ogere wawe ekintu ekilala, mala kiomo nkurimo ni oona ondimo.

Yesu aguziiwue kandi a-ambrwe

(Math 26:47–56; Mari 14:43–52; Luuk 22:47–53)

1 Olwa Yesu yamala okusawa otio, yafuma na awalonzi waae owuire mala wa-ambuka ekiriwo ekietwa mbwe Kidrooni, wagia waingira mu omusiri ogwa *zaituuni ogwawanga engereka indi.

2 Yudaasi omuguzi, yawanga na amanyire asi ao aeniki Yesu yagonzianga okugenda ao na awalonzi waae.** 3 Kutio Yudaasi yatoola omurima ogwa awa-iiye awa Awaruumi na awarinzi awa *ekaalu, awaatumwa na awakangasi awa *awoozia na *Awafarisaayo, aaza nawo ao ni wagingre ewigenga ewiema ne ewimuri, ne ewia-iiye. 4 Ni Yesu yawanga na amiire okumanya wiona ewiagianga okumuikorra. Kutio yafuma agia awawuuzia otino, “Muagala anu?” 5 Wamuirania mbwe, “Yesu Omunazareeti.” Yesu yawalaga mbwe, “Ni inze.” (Enyinga ezio Yudaasi omuguzi owaaza okumuguzia yawanga na aimereere nawo ao.) 6 Olwa Yesu yawoola-uwoola mbwe, “Ni inze,” awantu awo wairana enyima wagwa ansi. 7 Yesu yawawuuzia olwa okuwiri otino, “Muagala anu?” Wamuirania kandi mbwe, “Yesu Omunazareeti.” 8 Yesu yawairania na awoola otino, “Miire okuwalaga mbwe ni inze kutio ni kuri mbwe ni inze muagala, mureke awalonzi wange wano wagie.” 9 Kino kiaikola okutuusia amangʼana aga Yesu yamala okuwoola mbwe, “Nkiari okuteesia namba omulala ku awantu awa wampa.”†

10 Nikuemao, Simioni Petro yazomola omwambe ogwa yawanga nagwo aguta ku owemirimo owa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia, amukewa okutwi okusaaza kuwuera ansi chee. Eriina eria owemirimo oyo riawanga Malkoosi.* 11 Yesu yasiagizia Petro otino, “Irania omwambe mu ensawo yagwo! Oingirizia mbwe nkalaga omugongo ekikombe ekia emidambo ekia Soifu aagala mbwe nywe?”*

12 Kutio, awa-iiye awa Awaruumi, no omukangasi waawu, alala na awarinzi awa ekaalu eya *Awayaudi waria, wa-amba Yesu kandi waamusiwa wukalu. 13 Owusookere, waamuira ku Anaasi, omugaaka owa Kaifa owawanga Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia omwaka ogwo.* 14 Kaifa ono nio owakengera Awayaudi amagezi mbwe kwawanga kulootu no omuntu omulala afwiriire Awayaudi woona.*

Petro alowa olwa kuluweri mbwe ngamanyire Yesu

(Math 26:69–70; Mari 14:66–68; Luuk 22:54–57)

15 Simioni Petro yalonda Yesu enyima alala no omulonzi wundi oona. Aeniki omulonzi wundi ono yawanga na amanyaane no Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia, iye yaingira mu olwanyi olwa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia alala ni Yesu. 16 Ni Petro iye yasigala enze ku ekiriango. Omulonzi ono yagia agamba-gamba no omurinzi owa ekiriango owekiala owawanga mu emirimo enyinga ezio nikwo Petro aingira munsi.* 17 Owemirimo owekiala owawanga na arinda ku ekiriango yawuuzia Petro otino, “Iwue oona ngori omulala ku awalonzi awa omuntu ono?” Ni Petro yamuirania otino, “Yaaya, ngandi omulala ku iwo.” 18 Awemirimo awa awakangasi awa Awayaudi alala na awarinzi awa mu ekaalu waakuma omurro kugere waote aeniki ekialo kiawanga ekiolu. Waawanga ni waimeriire ni waota omurro ogwo, kandi Petro oona yawanga na aimereere nawo oona aota omurro.

Yesu airrwe emberi wa Anaasi Omukangasi owa awoozia

(Math 26:59–66; Mari 14:55–64; Luuk 22:66–71)

19 Nikuemao, Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia yawuuzia Yesu ku awalonzi waae, alala ne engerera yaae. 20 Ni Yesu yamuirania otino, “Miire okuwa ni ngamba-ngamba owuyanga emberi wa awantu woona kandi enyinga ziona miire okuwa ni ngerera awantu mu amasinagoogi namba mu ekaalu, na asi-uasi aa Awayaudi waaikumia alala. Kiwulao ekintu ekia nyawoola owuiwisi, yaaya.* 21 Kutio ngʼambona ekigera ni mumbuuzia ewintu wino. Muwuuzie awamiire okuwa ni wampurra mbenanu. Kuwuene wamanyire ewia miire okuwa ni mboola.” 22 Olwa Yesu yawoola-uwoola otio, omulala ku awarinzi awa ekaalu owawanga ampi nae yamukuba oluyu wukalu nikwo amuwuuzia wukalu otino, “Nintio oirania Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia?”* 23 Yesu yamuirania na awoola otino, “Ni kuri mbwe kirio ekintu ekiwiiwi ekia mboorre oesa okukiwoola. Ni, ni mboorre ewiri kuwuene, katio onkuba kolaki?” 24 Nikuemao Anaasi yawoola mbwe airwe ku Kaifa Omukangasi owa awoozia mala kiomo Yesu yawanga na akiasiwirwe otio.

Petro alowa olwa okuwiri no olwa okusatu mbwe ngamanyire Yesu

(Math 26:71–75; Mari 14:69–72; Luuk 22:58–65)

25 Simioni Petro yawanga na aimeriire na akiaota omurro. Awaawanga ao waamuwuuzia watino, “Iwue oona ngori omulala ku awalonzi waae?” Ni iye yalowa amangʼana ago na awoola otino, “Yaaya, ngʼani inze.” 26 Omulala ku awemirimo awa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia owawanga omuda owa omuntu owa Petro yakenga okutwi kwae, yamutangʼangʼia otino, “Otalowa, iwue ngʼanyakuwona nae mu omusiri aria?”* 27 Petro kandi yalowa asiriisia mbwe ngamanyire Yesu, kandi ku enyinga ezio, engoko yalagula.

Awayaudi wairre Yesu ku Pilaato

(Math 27:1–2, 11–31; Mari 15:1–20; Luuk 23:1–5, 13–25)

28 Nikuemao, Awayaudi waatoola Yesu okuema aa Kaifa wamuira ku omugizi ogwa omukangasi awa Awaruumi. Ziawanga enyinga ezia kunkio ino. Aeniki waagalanga okugomera *Pasaaka, Awayaudi awo ngawakaingira omwa omukangasi owa Awaruumi oyo kugere wataiwaka egaasi ekawalowera okuria Pasaaka nikulondokana ne endagirra ziawu. 29 Kutio Pilaato yafuma awaazako kandi awawuuzia otino, “Niki ekia muingiriire nakio omuntu ono?” 30 Waamuirania watino, “Kuweeko mbwe ngari omuntu omuwiiwi ino, kangato ngatukamureetere ku iwue.” 31 Pilaato yawalaga mbwe wamutoole wagie wamukengere ekiina nikulondokana ne endagirra ziawu aweene. Ni iwo waalowa ni wawoola watino, “Yaaya, ifwe tuwula na amaani aga okukengera omuntu ekiina ekia olumbe.” 32 Kino kiaikola okutuusia amangʼana aga Yesu omwene yawoola emberi ku olumbe olwa yagianga okufwa.** 33 Nikuemao Pilaato yairana mu enyumba kandi alagirra mbwe Yesu areetwe emberi waae. Yamuwuuzia otino, “Mbwe iwue ni iwue omwami owa Awayaudi?” 34 Kuno kwagera Yesu amuwuuzia otino, “Okwo no okuingirizia kwao omwene, nakuwa awandi wagamba-gambre ni iwue ku inze?” 35 Pilaato yamuirania otino, “Inze ngʼandi Omuyaudi. Awiinyu na awakangasi awa awoozia wiinyu awakureetere ku inze, niwo awawoola watio. Katio nyagala ondage ekia okorre.” 36 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Owuami wuange ngʼawuri owua ku ekialo kuno, yaaya. Wuweeko owua ku ekialo, awemirimo wange wakandwaniire ntaaza nyateewua mu amakono aga Awayaudi. Ni wuri owua a-andi asaasa.”* 37 Okwo kwagera Pilaato amuwuuzia otino, “Kutio ori omwami kane?” Yesu yamuirania otino, “Iwue ni iwue owoola mbwe ndi omwami. Ekio nikio ekiagera ni nyiwulwa kandi nikio ekiandeeta ku ekialo okulagana ekia owuene wuri. Omuntu-umuntu ogonziizie owuene, awurra amangʼana gange.”* 38 Pilaato yamuwuuzia otino, “Owuene niki?” Nikuemao yafuma airana ku Awayaudi awalaga mbwe, “Wuwulao owuwiiwi owua ntuukiire ku omuntu ono owusugre ne ekiina. 39 Ni mumanyire mbwe turi ne endagirra enganyira mbwe mbasiwurre omusiwe omulala mu omugomo ogwa Pasaaka. Mberi mukaagala mbwe mbasiwurre Omwami owa Awayaudi ono?” 40 Awayaudi iwo waaogerera wukalu watino, “Yawa, ngʼano omuntu ono, ni tuagala otusiwurre Barabaasi!” Barabaasi yawanga omuntu owalwanianga owukangasi owua Awaruumi.

Awa-iiye wasuusia Yesu

(Math 27:27; Mari 15:16–20)

1 Nikuemao Pilaato yaesana Yesu aswawukwe enkowa. 2 Awa-iiye waazinga engata eya amawua wateera Yesu ku omutwe ki ekigudu ekia owuyaayi, nikwo wamuingizizia enguwo endiire eya igondo enzakanyu-kanyu.* 3 Waamugiako wamulaga ne ekirega watino, “Oikaziwue, Omwami owa *Awayaudi!” ne eno wamukuba wukalu ku owueni.

Okusiwula Yesu kukirre Pilaato

4 Pilaato yatanika kandi airana ku Awayaudi awalaga otino, “Muwurre, mufumia awaazeko kugera mumanye mbwe kiwulao-uwula ekiwiiwi ekia mutuukiireko ekisugre ne ekiina.”* 5 Olwa Yesu yafuma enze na aingiizie engata eya amawua ne enguwo endiire eya igondo ebuluu erimo owuakanyu-kanyu eria, Pilaato yawalaga otino, “Omwene nguno, mumuwone!”

6 Olwa awakangasi awa *awoozia alala na awarinzi awa *ekaalu waamuwona-uwona watino, waaogerera wukalu watino, “*Muwambe ku omusalaaba! Muwambe!”

Ni Pilaato yawairania otino, “Aweene mumutoole mugie mumuwambe ni muagala, aeniki inze ngʼankamutuukrako owuwi owua akorre owusugre ne ekiina.”*

7 Ni iwo waamuirania ni wawoola watino, “Turi ne endagirra ewoola mbwe omuntu-umuntu ki iye owoola mbwe ari Omuzia owa Katonda paka aitwe.”*

8 Olwa Pilaato yawuurra amangʼana ago, owuti wuamuamba ino. 9 Kutio yairana mu enyumba ni Yesu kandi amuwuuzia otino, “Oiinyu aa oemera na ai?” Ni Yesu ngakamuirania ekintu. Kuno kwagera Pilaato amuwuuzia* 10 otino, “Owuo olowa okugamba-gamba ni inze? Ngomanyire mbwe ni inze ori na amaani aga okukulekula ogie, namba okukuwamba ku *omusalaaba?”

11 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Kuweeko mbwe amaani ago ngagakakuemera ku igulu, iwue okatoorrei amaani ku inze? Kutio onteere mu amakono gaao nio ori no owuoni owukirre owuao.”

12 Okuemera ao Pilaato yakola wukalu ino okulekula Yesu, na Awayaudi waagia emberi okuogerera wukalu watino, “No omulekuule-ulekula agie, kane ngori omwiko owa *Kaisaari aeniki omuntu-umuntu owoola mbwe ari omwami, ngatiire Kaisaari omwami owa Rooma.”*

13 Olwa Pilaato yawurra otio, yafumia Yesu enze nikwo aikala ku entewe eya ewiina wikengerwa, asi aetwa mbwe Olwanyi olwa Iwaale (oluetwa mu omunwa ogwa Awayaudi mbwe Gabaata). 14 Wuawanga owuire owua okuikagra *Sabato eyawanga ku omudiira ogwa omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka, mu enyinga ezigia ikumi ni iwiri kunkio.† Pilaato yalaga Awayaudi otino, “Omwami iinyu nguno!”*

15 Ni iwo waaogerera wukalu watino, “Aitwe aemeo! Aitwe aemeo! Mumuwambe ku omusalaaba!” Pilaato yawawuuzia otino, “Muagala tuwambe omwami iinyu?” Na awakangasi awa awoozia waamuirania watino, “Ifwe tuwula no omwami wundi ogawuuke ni Kaisaari.” 16 Nikuemao Pilaato yata Yesu mu amakono gaawu wagie wamuwambe ku omusalaaba.

Okuwambwa okwa Yesu ku omusalaaba

(Math 27:32–44; Mari 15:21–32; Luuk 23:26–43)

17 Kutio, waafuma wagia ni Yesu na agingre omusalaaba ogwa yagianga okuwambrwako omwene nawuno watuuka asi aetwa mbwe asi aa Ekiyanga ekia Omutwe, ni mu Oluibrania mbwe Goligootha. 18 Ao nio waamuwambra agati ya awantu wawiri, omulala nyakukono okumosi no owundi nyakukono okusaaza.

19 Pilaato yafumia amangʼana mbwe ibaawu riteewue kungulu ku omusalaaba erijojerweko mbwe: yesu omunazareeti, omwami owa awayaudi. 20 Awayaudi awangi waarisoma aeniki aa Yesu yawambrwa yawanga a-ampi no omugizi kandi amangʼana gano gaajojwa mu Oluibrania, Olulatiini no Olugiriiki. 21 Awakangasi awa awoozia awa Awayaudi waaira amaziga gaawu ku Pilaato ni wamulaga watino, “Yaaya, otajoja mbwe ‘Omwami owa Awayaudi’ ni joja mbwe omuntu ono yawoolanga mbwe ari omwami owa Awayaudi.”

22 Ni Pilaato yawairania otino, “Ekia miire okujoja, miire okujoja!”

23 Awa-iiye waavuula Yesu enguwo nikwo wamuwamba ku omusalaaba. Ni waamala okukola otio, waatoola enguwo ziae wazigawana aa kane, kugere omulala ki omulala ku iwo atuukre. Enguwo eyasigala ne eya munsi eyawanga eya ekiraka ekilala eki-ambaane okuemera kungulu paka ansi.

24 Okukigawa kwawakira kutio waawona mbwe wakube ensiiti wawone ogitoola agati yaawu.

Okwo kwaikola okutuusia *endagano ewoola mbwe, “Waagawana enguwo ziange agati yaawu kandi wakubra enguwo ziange ensiiti.”† Kutio kino nikio awa-iiye awo waakola.

25 Kwatuukra Maaria ngʼinwawu Yesu, ni ngʼinalaga Yesu, ni Maaria muka Kilopaasi, alala ni Maaria omwala owa Eumagidaala ni waimeriire ampi no omusalaaba ogwa Yesu yawambwako.* 26 Olwa Yesu yawona ngʼinwae no omulonzi owayawanga na agonziizie ino na aemereere ampi ao, yalaga ngʼina otino, “Ngʼinoifu, omuzia waao nguno.”* 27 Yairana kandi alaga omulonzi waae oyo mbwe, “Ngʼinwao nguno.” Okuemera ao omulonzi oyo yatoola ngʼinwawu Yesu amenya nae omwae.

Okufwa okwa Yesu ku omusalaaba

(Math 27:45–56; Mari 15:33–41; Luuk 23:44–49)

28 Yesu yawanga na amanyire mbwe ewintu wiona ewia yasugananga akorrwe wiawanga ni wiwuere kandi kugere endagano etuuke kuwuene, yawoola otino, “Mpurra owulwo.” 29 Awa-iiye waatoola amalwa amalulu pe agaawanga ao, waingiziamo esiponji mala eizula na amalwa ago. Nikuemao waagisiwa ku ekiti ekia omuti oguetwa mbwe Aisoopu, wairra Yesu ku omunwa mbwe anywe.‡* 30 Olwa Yesu yamala okugagusa, yawoola otino, “Ewintu wiona wiwuere.” Nikuemao yaisia omutwe kandi omwoyo gwae gugia.

Yesu afumuutwe ni ifumo mu embavu

31 Wuawanga owuire owua okuikagra Sabato kandi enkio walwo wuagianga okuwa owuire owua Sabato owutiirwe ino. Awayaudi ngawakaagalanga mbwe emiwiri egia awafu girekwe enze nyanga olwa Sabato. Kutio waagia ku Pilaato okumusawa mbwe amagulu gaawu gavunwe, wafwe wuangu, kugere emiwiri giawu giisiziwue ansi gieme ku emisalaaba.* 32 Kutio awa-iiye waagia wavuna amagulu aga awantu wawiri awaawambwa ni Yesu waria. 33 No olwa waatuuka ku Yesu, waatuukra na amiire okukewa enkolo afwire, kutio ngawakamuvuna amagulu. 34 Omulala ku awa-iiye yamufumuta ni ifumo mu embavu, amasaai na amanzi gafugika amangi kalala.* 35 Owawona ewintu wino ni wiikola omwene nio ogamba-gambre ku amangʼana gano kandi ewia awoorre wiri kuwuene. Agafumiizie kugera iwue ogawurra oona oganye ku Yesu.§* 36 Gano gaaikola kugere amangʼana agaajojwa mu endagano mbwe, “Namba ekilala ku ewigumba wiae ngawirivunwa”† gatuuke kuwuene.* 37 Lwona mala kiomo endagano indi yoona ewoola mbwe, “Wariwarra owa waafumuta ni ifumo.”*

Owuawizi owua Yesu mu iwuuta

(Math 27:57–61; Mari 15:42–47; Luuk 23:50–56)

38 Nikuemao Yoseefu awaemanga Arimathea kandi owawanga omulonzi owa Yesu owuiwisi, aeniki yatianga Awayaudi, yagia asawa Pilaato omuwiri ogwa Yesu agie aguawre kandi Pilaato yamuganyira. Kutio, yaaza atoola omuwiri ogwa Yesu agia nagwo.* 39 Yawanga ni Nikodeemo, omuntu owa nyanga lundi yagia ku Yesu owuire oria. Nikodeemo yareeta amavuta no omuti ogwa okurinda omuwiri ogwa omufu kandi ewiwunya esaami egikasuga ekiilo amakumi asatu ni iwiri.* 40 Waatoola emiti na amavuta agawunya esaami ago wafuka ku omuwiri ogwo nikwo wagutoola waguwasania mu ekitambaaya ekia enguwo, kiomo enkola eya Awayaudi eya owuawizi efwanana.* 41 Asi aa Yesu yawambwa ao yawangao omusiri ogwawangamo iwuuta iyia eria omuntu wundi yawanga na akiari okuawirwamo. 42 Omwo nimwo omwa waaingizia omuwiri ogwa Yesu aeniki yawanga ampi kandi lwona wuawanga owuire owua okuikagra Sabato.

Okuziuka okwa Yesu

(Math 28:1–10; Mari 16:1–8; Luuk 24:1–12)

1 Wuawanga nyanga olwa omudiira ogwa okuwiri, kunkio ziri ku amagambaazi, Maaria omwala owa Eumagidaala yafuma agia ku ekiwaga ekia Yesu. Yatuukra no oguwaale ogwawanga ni guteerwe ku omunwa ogwa iwuuta gumiire okutoolwao. 2 Kutio yasomoka agia alaga Simioni Petro no omulonzi wundi oria, owa Yesu yawanga na agonziizie ino, otino, “Awiifu, omuwiri ogwa Omwami gutoorrwe mu iwuuta guirrwe aa tutamanyire.”*

3 Nikuemao Petro alala no omulonzi wundi oyo waafuma wagia ku ekiwaga ekia Yesu. 4 Waafuma ne embiro woona wawiri, kukawa mbwe omulonzi wundi oyo yasowia Petro mu embiro mala amusookera okutuuka mu iwuuta. 5 Yaikirra mala ekengeera mu owuina munsi, kandi yawona ewitambaaya ewia enguwo ezia Yesu ya-awirwa nazio ni ziri ao wusa, ni ngakaingira mu iwuuta munsi. 6 Nikuemao Simioni Petro, owaemanga enyima, yatuuka kandi iye yaingira mu owuina munsi, awona ewitambaaya ewia enguwo ni wiri ao wusa, 7 alala ne ekitambaaya ekiawanga ni kisiwirwe ku omutwe gwae. Enguwo eno yawanga kuwuayo ne eizingre alala, ale ne ewitambaaya ewia enguwo wino.* 8 Nikuemao omulonzi owawanga na asookere okutuuka ku ekiwaga oria, oona yaingira mu iwuuta omwo. Yawona ekiaikola ekio kandi yaganya.

9 Okutuuka enyinga ezio, waawanga ni wakiari okumanya ekia amangʼana agari mu *endagano agawoola mbwe *Kristo paka aziuke aeme ku awafu, galagana.* 10 Nikuemao awalonzi wano waafuma wagia mu emigizi giawu.

Yesu afumiire Maaria owa Eumagidaala

11 Ni Maaria iye yasigala na aimerre-uimerra enze eya iwuuta na arra. Olwa yarranga otio, yaikirra okukuba amiiso gaae mu iwuuta munsi. 12 Olwa yakola otio, yawona *enyankoi wawiri awaiwooye enguwo enzeru zerre ni waikaale asi aa omuwiri ogwa Yesu gwawanga ni guteerwe: omulala nyamutwe no owundi nyamagulu. 13 Enyankoi wano waamuwuuzia watino, “Mukaziiwue, orraki?”

Maaria yawairania otino, “Awantu waazre muno watoola omuwiri ogwa Omwami wange, ni ngʼamanyire aa waguirre!”

14 Olwa yamala okuwairania otio, yagaluka enyima awona Yesu na aimeriire aa yawanga ao, ni ngakamanya mbwe yawanga Yesu.* 15 Yesu oona yamuwuuzia otino, “Mukaziiwue, orraki? Kane omuntu owa oagala oyo naanu?” Maaria yaingirizianga mbwe omwene omusiri nio owawanga na agamba-gamba nae, kutio yamuirania otino, “Omukangasi, ni kuri mbwe ni iwue omutoorre munsi muno omuira a-andi, ni ndage aa omuirre kugere ngie mutoole.” 16 Yesu yamueta ne eriina mbwe, “Maaria.” Olwa Maaria yaria-uria omwoyo gwae otino, oona yagaluka amueta mu omunwa ogwa *Awayaudi mbwe, “Rabooni!” (Okulagana mbwe ‘omugerezi.’) 17 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Otaaza wampamba aeniki nkiari okuirana ku Soifu. Ni gia ku waamwifu awalonzi wange, ogie owalage mbwe ngia ku Soifu kandi Katonda wange ori Soinyu kandi Katonda wiinyu oona.”* 18 Maaria omwala owa Eumagidaala yagia alaga awalonzi awa Yesu otino, “Mbwine Omwami iifu na amiiso!” Kandi yawalaga amangʼana goona aga yamulaga.

Yesu afumiire awalonzi waae olwa kuluweri

19 Nyanga olwo igulo, owuire owulonda owua *Sabato, awalonzi awa Yesu waaikumia mu enyumba alala kandi waigalao ekiriango aeniki waatia awakangasi awa Awayaudi. Waaizukira ni Yesu ari nawo omwo kandi aimeriire agati yaawu. Yawakeezia na awoola otino, “Muwe no owuolu inywe mwona.”* 20 Olwa yamala okuwoola amangʼana gano, yawalaga embala ezia ku amakono gaae ni ku embavu aa yafumutwa ni ifumo. Awalonzi waae waawa no owusangaavu owuluguulwa olwa waawona Omwami waawu.* 21 Yesu yawalaga kandi otino, “Muwe no owuolu! Mala kiomo Katonda Soifu yantuma ku ekialo, nintio noona mbatuma nyingeeno ku awantu woona ku ekialo.”* 22 Ni yamala okuwalaga otio, yawawuutako omuuka na awoola otino, “Mutuukre *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.* 23 Omuntu-umuntu owa murekiire owuoni wuae, Katonda oona amurekiire kandi omuntu-umuntu owa mutarekiire owuoni wuae, Katonda oona ngamurekiire yaaya.”*

Yesu afumiire Thomaasi na awalonzi wandi

(Mari 16:14; Luuk 24:36–49)

24 Omulala ku awalonzi waae oetwa mbwe Thomaasi, owaetwanga ku eriina rindi mbwe Mulongo, iye yawulangao olwa Yesu yafumira awalonzi waae.* 25 Kutio olwa yaaza, awalonzi awa Yesu awiina waae wano waamulaga watino, “Ifwe tuwuine Omwami iifu.” Ni Thomaasi iye yawairania otino, “Ni ntawuine embala ezia emisumaari ku amakono gaae ne embavu ziae aa ifumo riafumuta nawuno noona ngateeko ewiala wiange wino ngawurre mbwe nigo, ngʼanyiza okuwa no okuganya ku amangʼana aga mundaga ago, yaaya.”

26 Lunyima no omudiira omulala gwamala okuwua, awalonzi awa Yesu wano kandi waawanga ni wari mu enyumba. Thomaasi yoona yawanga na ari nawo mu enyumba omwo. Kukawa mbwe ekiriango kiawanga ni kiigaalweo ti, waaizukirra ni Yesu aingiire aimeriire agati yaawu. Yesu yawalaga otino, “Muwe no owuolu.” 27 Nikuemao yalaga Thomaasi otino, “Warrako amakono gange gano. Toola ewiala wiao ote ku amakono gange ni ku embavu ziange aa nyafumutwa ifumo. Otalowa okuwa no okuganya, ni wa no okuganya mbwe ndi omulamu.” 28 Thomaasi yamuirania otino, “Ori Omwami wange kandi Katonda wange!”

29 Nikuemao Yesu yamuirania otino, “Owuo katio oweere no okuganya aeniki ombwine na amiiso? Wari awasereke, awantu awawa no okuganya namba ni watawuine na amiiso.”*

30 Mu owulamu wuae wuona Yesu yakola amankono amangi ino emberi wa awalonzi waae, ni wagawona. Owungi owua amankono gano ngagakajojwa mu ebuuki eno.* 31 Ni agari mu ebuuki eno gano, gajojerwe kugere muwe no okuganya mbwe Yesu nio Kristo, Omuzia owa Katonda kandi mbwe, ku okuganya okwo, mutuukre owulamu owutariwua ku eriina riae.*

Yesu aeere awalonzi waae omukaati ne emvwa waria

1 Na amiire gandi gaamala okuwita, Yesu kandi yairana afumira awalonzi waae ku ensanyaata eya omwalo ogwa Galiili.* 2 Awalonzi waae awaawanga ao waawanga Simioni Petro, Thomaasi oetwa ne eriina rindi mbwe Mulongo, Nathanieli oema ku omugizi ogwa Kaana mu ekialo ekia Galiili, awazia awawiri awa Zebeedi na awalonzi waae awandi wawiri woona waawanga ao.* 3 Simioni Petro yalaga awalonzi awiina waae otino, “Inze mfuma ngia okuvuwa.” Awalonzi awa Yesu awiina waae waamuirania watino, “Ifwe twona tugia ni iwue.” Kutio woona waagia waniina owuato okugia okuvuwa ku owuziwa. Waavuwa owuire owulamba, ni ngawaka-amba namba emvwa endala.

4 Kunkio ziri ni wukia, Yesu yawafumira na aimeriire ku ensanyaata, na awalonzi waae ngawakamumanyirizia mbwe yawanga iye.* 5 Yesu yawaeterezia na awawuuzia otino, “Waana wange, muriko ne emvwa namba endala?” Waamuirania mbwe, “Yaaya, tuwula nayo.” 6 Nikuemao Yesu yawalaga otino, “Kane mutege olugoe lwinyu nyakukono okusaaza, ni muuza okuamba.” Olwa waakola-ukola otio, okuingizia olugoe mu owuato kwawakira aeniki wa-amba emvwa enyingi ino.* 7 Omulonzi owa Yesu yawanga na agonziizie ino oria yagia amanya nikwo alaga Petro otino, “Oria no Omwami!” Olwa Petro yawurra-uwurra na awoola mbwe, “Oria no Omwami,” yatoola enguwo yaae aiwasaania nayo. Kwatuukra ni yawanga na agivuurre mu owuato ni wavuwa. Nikuemao yaduuma mu amanzi.* 8 Awalonzi wandi waria waaikanga no owuato, ni wakulula olugoe olwawanga ni luizuule du ne emvwa, aeniki ngawakawanga ale ino ne ensanyaata, owuliire owukasuga efuuti mia wisatu.†

9 Olwa waaika wagowa ku ensanyaata, waatuukra omurro ni gukumirwe ao guema kandi emvwa eteerweko esambwa. Emikaati gindi giona giawanga ao. 10 Yesu yawalaga otino, “Mutoole emvwa zindi ezia muema okuamba nyingeeno mureete ano.” 11 Nikuemao, Petro yagia okulula olugoe olwawangamo emvwa alureeta ku ensanyaata. Emvwa enene-nene eziawangamo ziawanga mia kilala na amakumi ataanu ni isatu, ni kukawa kutio olugoe ngalukatanduka.

12 Ne emvwa ziamala okuyia, Yesu yawaeta na awalaga otino, “Muuze mutoole okuria okwa okuangula enda kuno murie.” Nyingeeno katio awalonzi waae wano waawanga ni wamumanyiriizie geeza aa awulao owamuwuuzia mbwe, “Iwue ni iwue anu?” Woona waamanya geeza mbwe yawanga *Omwami Yesu.

13 Yesu yagia atoola emikaati ne emvwa awa-aa waria.* 14 Kuno katio kwawanga okufuma okwa okusatu okwa Yesu yafumiranga awalonzi waae lunyima na amiire okuziuka okuema ku awafu.

Yesu a-ambiizie Petro amaani

15 Ni waamala okuria emikaati ne emvwa, Yesu yawuuzia Simioni Petro otino, “Simioni omuzia owa Yowaana, mberi ongonziizie okukira wano woona?” Simioni yamuirania otino, “Ee Omwami, omanyire geeza mbwe nkugonziizie.” Yesu yamulaga mbwe, “Rinda ewimaatwa wiange geeza.” 16 Yesu yamuwuuzia olwa okuwiri otino, “Simioni omuzia owa Yowaana, mberi ongonziizie kuwuene?” Simioni kandi yamuirania otino, “Ee Omwami, omanyire geeza mbwe nkugonziizie.” Yesu yamulaga mbwe, “Rinda amagondi gange geeza.” 17 Yesu kandi yamuwuuzia olwa okusatu otino, “Simioni omuzia owa Yowaana, mberi ongonziizie?” Simioni yawa no omwoyo omululu aeniki Yesu yamuwuuzia kasatu embuuzia endala eyo mbwe, “Mberi ongonziizie?” Yairania Yesu otino, “Omwami iwue omanyire ewintu wiona. Omanyire geeza mbwe nkugonziizie.” Yesu yamulaga otino, “Rinda amagondi gange geeza.”* 18 Yesu yagia emberi na amulaga otino, “Kuwuene nkulaga mbwe ni wawanga no okiari omuwuuka wasiwanga omukanda gwao omwene nikuemao wafuma no ogia aa oagala okugia. Ni, no ooza okukiriiya ooza okugolola okukono kwao omuntu wundi musaasa akusiwre omukanda kandi akuire namba asi aa otaagala okugia.”* 19 (Yesu yakola no olugero luno kugere alage Petro olumbe olwa yazanga okufwa kiomo lwazanga oku-aa Katonda owunene.) Nikuemao yalaga Petro otino, “Petro ndonde.”*

20 Olwa Petro yawarra enyima, yawona omulonzi owa Yesu yawanga na agonziize ino oria na ari enyima awalonda. Omulonzi owa Yesu ono nio owawanga na aiyegeeke ku ekifuwa ekia Yesu olwa waarianga okuria okwa igulo okutuukre ni Yesu akiari okufwa. Kandi nio owawuuzia Yesu mbwe, “Omwami, naanu ooza okukuguzia?”* 21 Olwa Petro yamuwona, yawuuzia Yesu otino, “Omwami, iye ekiiza okumuikorra niki?” 22 Yesu yamuirania otino, “Katio namba ni ngonziizie mbwe awe omulamu nawuno nyanga nyirane kandi, katio ekio kikuambre otie? Iwue ekia okole ni mbwe ndonde.” 23 Amangʼana aga Yesu yawoola gano gaawurikana mu amatwi aga owungi owua awantu awaalondanga Yesu mbwe, omulonzi owa Yesu ono iye ngakaazanga okufwa yaaya. Ni Yesu ngakawoola mbwe omulonzi waae oyo ngaaza okufwa, ni yawoola mala mbwe, “Katio namba ni ngonziizie mbwe awe omulamu nawuno nyanga nyirane kandi, katio ekio kikuambre otie?”

24 Omulonzi owa Yesu ono nio owajoja ebuuki eno. Yawona ewintu wino wiona ni wiikola kandi tumanyire mbwe ewia awoola wino wiri kuwuene.*

25 Wirio ewintu windi ewingi ewia Yesu yakola wiona. Kuweeko mbwe wiajojwa wiona, inze ni mpingirizia, ebuuki ezia wikajojerwemo zikaizuula ekialo kiona nawuno iwaga rikeeye.*

Emirimo egia

AWATUMWA

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Ebuuki eya Emirimo egia *Awatumwa ne ebuuki eya okuwiri eya Luuka yajoja. Yoona yajojerwa omuntu oetwa Tiofiila. Awandi wawoola mbwe yajojwa mu omwaka ogwa 63, na wandi wawoola mbwe yajojwa emberi owa omwaka ogwa 70. Luuka yagijoja okutulaga omunayo ogwa kuwuene ku kiomo ekaniisa eya Awakristo yatanika kandi ekoma.

Emirimo egia Awatumwa elagana kiomo awalonzi wandi waarindirra Yerusaleemu kugere watuukre *Omwoyo Omweru kiomo Yesu yawaifuuwira na akiari okuguluka aniina ku igulu. Owuire owua *Pendekosti Omwoyo Omweru yawaikako kandi awaizuzia na amaani, agaagera wawa awawoni awa Yesu ni walanzia *injiili yaae okutanikra Yerusaleemu, Yudeea, Samaria, kugia mu entuuko ezia ekialo. Kutio ebuuki eno eesa okuetwa lwona mbwe ‘Emirimo egia Omwoyo Omweru.’ Okutanikra amiiso amakate-kaate 2 kutuuka 8, Petro alaganwa ki omutumwa owakangatra owutanikro owua ekaniisa ezia Awakristo *Awayaudi Yerusaleemu. Lunyima, okutanikra 9, Omutumwa Paulo yakangatra okuilanzia okwa amakaniisa mu ewialo ewia enze ku awantu awatari Awayaudi alala na Awayaudi.

Ebuuki eno yoona egamba-gamba ku ewintu ewiaikola mu owutanikro eya Ekaniisa eya *Kristo ni kiomo yakoma. Kiomo Awayaudi waasooka walowa amangʼana aga injiili eya Yesu Kristo, kandi ni kiomo Katonda yatuma awatumwa ku awantu awatari Awayaudi, awaaganya ku injiili eyo. Lwona elagana kiomo ekaniisa yatuukra eminyako-nyaako emilulu okuema ku awakangasi awa Awayaudi na awa ekialo ekia Awaruumi, kandi kiomo okuwa alala okwa Awakristo mu olugonzi kwawatunzia. Gano goona gaaikola ku amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru owakolanga mu owulamu owua Awakristo no owua ekaniisa yoona.

1 Otiirwe Tiofiila: Mu ebuuki yange eyasooka nyajoja amangʼana goona aga Yesu yagerera ne ewintu ewia yakola okuemera olwa yatanika emirimo giae ku ekialo kuno,* 2 kutuuka owuire owua yatoolwa airwa ku igulu. Ni yawanga na akiari okuirwa ku igulu, *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yamu-aa amaani aga okulaga *awatumwa waae awa yalowola ewintu ewia wasugaane wakole.* 3 Ni Yesu yamala okufwa kandi aziuka, yafumira awatumwa waae kangi ku amiire amakumi ane. Yawafumira mu engira enyingi okwagera waganya mbwe Yesu ari omulamu. Ni yawafumranga, waamuwona kandi yawalaganga amangʼana aga *Owuami owua Katonda.* 4 Owuire wulala, ni yawanga na aria na awatumwa waae, yawasikirra otino, “Mutaaza mwaema Yerusaleemu ano, ni muweeremo murindirre ekintu ekia nyawalaga mbwe Soifu Katonda yaifuuwa mbwe aaza okuwa-aa.* 5 Yowaana yawabatiisa na amanzi masa, ni wuangu ano muuza okubatiiswa no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.”*

6 Olwa awatumwa awa Yesu waaikumia alala ni Yesu, waamuwuuzia watino, “Omwami, nyingeeno katio ngooza okutoola owuami ote mu amakono aga Awaisraeli?”*

7 Yesu yawairania otino, “Inywe ngamusugaane mumanye amiire ne enyinga aeniki Soifu Katonda nio ori na amaani aga okutaao olwa ewintu wino wiriikola.* 8 Ni inywe, muuza okutuukra amaani olwa Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda aaza okuwaizuzia. Muuza okuwa awawoni wange mu ewialo ewia Yerusaleemu, Yudeea, Samaria ne embega ziona ezia ekialo, kandi murilaga awantu woona ewia mumanyire ku inze.”*

Yesu aguluuke agiire ku igulu

(Mari 16:19)

9 Olwa Yesu yamala okuwalaga otio, yaguluka agia ku igulu awatumwa waae ni wamuwarra nawuno awuereezia mu ire, ateeka mu amiiso gaawu.*

10 Ni waawanga ni wakiateere amiiso gaawu kungulu ni wawarra aa Yesu agiire, waaizukirra awantu wawiri awaiwooye enguwo endiire enzeru zerre ni waimeriire ampi nawo ao. 11 Awantu wano waalaga awatumwa awa Yesu watino, “Inywe awantu awa Galiili wano, ekigera ni mukiateere amiiso giinyu ku igulu otio niki? Yesu owa muwona na agia ku igulu ono, aaza okuirana ku ekialo kuno mala kiomo muwuine na agia ku igulu otio.”*

Mathiasi alowoolwe okutoola aa Yudaasi

12 Nikuemao awatumwa awa Yesu waaema ku ekigiri ekia *Zaituuni waika Yerusaleemu. Ekigiri ekia Zaituuni kiawanga ni kiri ampi no omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu (owuliire owukatuuka ekilomita wisatu nakuwa emaeli endala ne enusu.)* 13 Olwa waatuuka, waaniina waingira mu enyumba eya goroofa nyaluwega olwa waawanga ni wamenyere. Awaawangao ni Petro, Yowaana, Yakoobo, Andereeya, Piliipo, Thomaasi, Batholomeo, Mathaayo, Yakoobo omuzia owa Alfaayo, Simioni (owawanga na agonziizie ekialo kiawu) ni Yudaasi omuzia owa Yakoobo.** 14 Awantu wano woona waaganya no omwoyo mulala okuikumia enyinga ziona ni wasawa Katonda. Waasawanga otio alala ni waamwawu Yesu ni Maaria ngʼinwawu Yesu na awakazi wandi woona.*

15 Mu amiire ago Petro yaimerra agati ya awantu awakasuga mia kilala na amakumi awiri awaawanga ni waganyire ku Yesu, atanika okuwalaga otino, 16 “Waamwifu, amangʼana agari mu *endagano eya Katonda aga Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yawoola ku Yudaasi ni kuwitra ku *omukurumu owa Katonda Omwami Daudi, gaawanga ni gari mbwe paka gaikole. Yudaasi ono nio owakangatra awantu awa-amba Yesu.* 17 Yawanga omulala ku ifwe kandi yakola ni ifwe emirimo gino alala.” 18 Otiirwe Tiofiila, nyagala omanye mbwe Yudaasi yagula omusiri na amasendi aga yaeewua ku okukola ekintu ekiwiiwi ekio. Mu omusiri omwo nimwo omwa Yudaasi yagwa a-atika enda, ewia munda wifuma afwa. 19 Awantu woona awaawanga Yerusaleemu waawurra ekingʼana ekio kutio waaeta asi ao mu omunwa gwawu mbwe Akeldaama. (Okwo kulagana mbwe no omusiri ogwa amasaai.)*

20 Petro yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Mu ebuuki eya Zabuuri Daudi yajoja mbwe, ‘Mungʼaanye mu enyumba yaae mugireke ifulukwa kandi omuntu atagimenyamo.’† Ni lwona kwajojwa otino, ‘Mureke owundi musaasa atoole owukangasi wuae.’†

21-22 “Kutio kuri kulootu ni tulowoole omuntu omulala ooza okuwa ni ifwe mu emirimo egia okulaga awantu amangʼana aga okuziuka okwa *Omwami Yesu. Omuntu ono paka awe omulala ku awantu awamiire okuwa ni ifwe amiire goona aga Yesu yawanga agati iifu; okutanikra mu amiire aga Yowaana yabatiisangamo kutuuka olwa Yesu yatoolwa airwa ku igulu.”

23 Okwo kwagera walowola awantu wawiri awaawanga Yoseefu, owa eriina riae rindi riawanga Barsaaba (nakuwa Yuusto), ni Mathiasi.* 24 Nikuemao waasawa Katonda watino, “Omwami Katonda, iwue ni iwue omanyire emioyo egia awantu woona. Kutio Omwami, ganya otuloworre omuntu omulala ku awantu wawiri wano owa 25 omwoyo gwao guagala, omuntu ooza okutoola emirimo egia owutumwa egia Yudaasi yarekere na agia oluwega olusugaane ne enkola yaae.” 26 Olwa waamala okusawa otio, waakuba ensiiti kandi ensiiti ya-amba Mathiasi, kutio Mathiasi nio owasongwa ku awatumwa awa Yesu ikumi ni mulala.*

Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda aikire ku awantu

1 Olwa omugomo ogwa *Pendekosti* gwatuuka, awalonzi awa Yesu woona waikumia alala mu enyumba.* 2 Waaizukirra ni wawurra erioga eringi erifwana eria omuyaga omuzito oguwuuta ni guemerra ku igulu ri-ingira ri-izula enyumba eya waawangamo. 3 Nikuemao waawona ewintu ewifwana ne endimi ezia omurro ni zifuma enyingi kandi ziagwirra ku omuntu ki omuntu owawanga mu enyumba omwo. 4 Woona waaizuziwua no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda mala waatanika okuwoola eminwa egigawukane-gawukaane, owuagani ni kiomo Omwoyo Omweru yawa-aa amaani.**

5 Okwo kwatuukra na *Awayaudi awatiire Katonda awaawanga ni wamenyere Yerusaleemu na awandi awaemere embega ziona ezia ku ekialo kuno, waazre Yerusaleemu mu omugomo ogwa Pendekosti. 6 Olwa waawurra erioga erio, omurima ogwa awantu gwaikumia asi ao okuwona ekintu ekiikola. Waaluguula ino olwa omuntu ki omuntu yawurra awalonzi awa Yesu ni wagamba-gamba mu omunwa gwae omwene. 7 Kino kia-amba awantu wano eminwa, mala watanika okuiwuuzia aweene watino, “Awiifu, awantu wano woona kane ngawaema Galiili? 8 Ekigera ni tuwurra ni wawoola eminwa egigawukane-gawukaane niki? Niki ekigera ni nyingeeno twona kiomo turi ano tutino, omuntu ki omuntu awurra no omunwa gwawu nigwo ogwa wawoola ni kandi tuemere mu ewialo ewigawukaane? Awandi ku ifwe waemere 9 Paasia, Miidia, Elaami ni Mesopotaamia, na awandi waemere Yudeea, Kapadookia, Pontuusi ni *Eesia. Na awandi woona waemere mu ewialo ewia 10 Firiigia, Pamfiilia, Misiri ne ekialo ekia Liibia ampi no omugizi ogwa Kureene, na awaemere Rooma. 11 Lwona aa turi ano kukawa mbwe awandi na Awayaudi, awandi na awantu awaagaluka mu ediini eya Awayaudi, na awandi waemere Kireete, kandi awandi na awa Araabu, ni tuwurra awantu wano ni wagamba-gamba mala mu eminwa giifu aweene kandi wawoola ewintu ewikate-kaate ewia Katonda amiire okukola!” 12 Amangʼana gano ga-amba awantu wano eminwa kandi okuingirizia kwawateeka aa waaiwuzianga aweene mbwe, “Awiifu, kuno kulaganaki?”

13 Ni kukawa kutio, awantu wandi waatanika okusekera awalonzi awa Yesu wano ni wawoola watino, “Awantu wano andi wanywere amalwa nikio ekigera ni wagamba-gamba watio.”*

Petro agamba-gambra awantu

14 Nikuemao, Petro yaimerra alala na *awatumwa awa Yesu awiina waae ikumi ni mulala. Yagamba-gambra awantu no omwoyo oguri kungulu na awoola otino, “Inywe awantu awamenyere Yerusaleemu ano, na awiifu Awayaudi mwona, musarigire mbalage ekintu ekiikola kino kugere mukimanye. 15 Awantu awa muwona wano ngawakanywa amalwa kiomo muingirizia mutio yaaya, ni lwona nikwo ziri enyinga isatu ezia kunkio, iwo wanywerei amalwa ago? 16 Ewiikola wino ne ewintu ewia Yoeli *omugambi owa Katonda yagamba-gambako emiaka emikulu egiawita olwa yawoola otino:

17 “ ‘Inze *Omwami Katonda mboola mbwe, amiire aga owutuuko,

nyiza okutumra awantu woona Omwoyo gwange Omweru.

Awaala na awazia wiinyu waaza okugamba amangʼana agaemere ku inze,

lwona owueru owua ewintu wiange wuuza okusasukra awawuuka wiinyu

kandi *awagaaka wiinyu waaza okuloota amalooto aganyemereko.

18 Namba *awakurumu wange awekikazi na awekisaaza,

nyiza okuwatumra Omwoyo gwange Omweru mu amiire ago,

kandi woona warigamba amangʼana agaemere ku inze Omwami Katonda.

19 Ndirikola amankono ku igulu kungulu

21 Mu amiire ago omuntu-umuntu orieta eriina eria Omwami mbwe amusaasre, arinunulwa!’† ”*

22 Petro yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “Inywe Awaisraeli, mutege amatwi muwurre amangʼana gano. Yesu Omunazareeti yawanga omuntu owa Katonda yalagana mbwe nio omulowole waae olwa yakola amankono amangi ne ewintu ewikate-kaate ewiluguulwa okuwitra ku iye. Inywe mwona muwimanyire aeniki ewintu ewio yawikola agati iinyu mu ekialo kiinyu muno.* 23 Yateewua mu amakono giinyu kandi mwamuita olwa mwamuta mu amakono aga awantu awatari Awayaudi *awaamuwamba ku omusalaaba. Ne ekio kiaikola kiomo Katonda yawanga na amiire okutaao kale.* 24 Ni Katonda yamuziusia amutoola ku awafu, kutio yamusiwula mu owululu owua olumbe aeniki Yesu ngakaesanga okufwa ilala.*

25 “Omwami Daudi oona yamugamba-gambako na awoola otino,

“ ‘Nyawona Omwami na ari ampi ni inze enyinga ziona

29 “Awiifu mbalaga kuwuene mbwe guukwa iifu Daudi yafwa kandi ya-awirwa. Kuri kuwuene mbwe ekiwaga kiae kikiario aa turi ano nawuno reero.* 30 Okuwa kwae okwa yawanga omugambi owa Katonda kandi okumanya okwa yamanya mbwe Katonda yamuifuuwira mbwe aaza okuta omulala ku awiizukulu waae awe omwami,* 31 yakiwona kale kandi yagamba-gamba ku okuziuka okwa *Kristo mbwe omuwiri gwae ngaguuza okulawirwa ku awafu kandi ngaguuza okurekwa guwole.*

32 “Yesu wazane ono, Katonda yamala okumuziusia kandi ifwe turi awawoni ku ekingʼana ekio.* 33 Amiire okugingiriziwua kungulu aa aikaale nyakukono okusaaza okwa swae Omwami Katonda kandi Katonda amiire okumu-aa Omwoyo gwae Omweru kiomo yawanga na amiire okumuifuuwira okutufukako. Ni iye ogerre ne ewintu ewia muwurra kandi ewia muwona wino ni wiikola.* 34 Omwami Daudi ngakaniina agia ku igulu yaaya, ni kukawa kutio iye ni iye owawoola omwene otino, ‘Omwami Katonda yalaga Omwami wange otino, ikala nyakukono kwange okusaaza 35 nawuno kutuuke ntoole awazigu waao woona nte ansi otaze na amagulu gaao.’† ”

36 Petro yamariizia na awoola otino, “Kutio, inywe Awaisraeli, muwe no okumanya kuwuene mbwe Yesu owa mwawamba ku *omusalaaba ono nio owa Katonda amiire okulowola mbwe awe Omwami kandi *Meesia.”

37 Olwa Petro yamala okuwalaga otio, amangʼana ago gaafumuta emioyo egia awantu ino, kutio waawuuzia Petro na awatumwa wandi watino, “Awiifu, katio ifwe, ekia tusugaane tukole niki?”*

Okulama okwa omurema

1 Owuire wulala Petro ni Yowaana waagia okusawa mu *ekaalu kiomo waakolanga owuire ki owuire mu enyinga ezia kienda igulo.* 2 Waagia watuukra no omuntu omurema owadembuka amagulu okuemera mu okuiwulwa, na agingrwe ateerwe ku ekikulo ekia olwanyi olwa ekaalu ekiaetwanga mbwe ekikulo ekilootu, okusawa awantu amasendi.* 3 Olwa yawona Petro ni Yowaana ni waingira mu ekikulo, yawasawa mbwe wamueeko amasendi. 4 Waamugiako ampi kandi wamuwarra mu amiiso tiiri. Nikuemao Petro yamuirania otino, “Tuwarre owone!” 5 Yagingirizia omutwe okuwawarra na aingirizia mbwe wagala okumu-aa ekintu. 6 Petro yamulaga otino, “Owurra, inze mbula na amasendi namba amatoono, ne ekia ndi nakio nyiza okuku-aa.

11 Omuntu owa Katonda yalamia oyo yawanga na akia-andre ku Petro ni Yowaana. Awantu woona waawa no okuluguula ino kutio waafuma ne embiro okuwagiako mu ekiwiidi ekia Solomooni.* 12 Olwa Petro yawona kiomo ekintu ekiikorre ekio kiwangʼangʼaazie yawawuuzia otino, “Awiifu Awaisraeli, ekigera ni muluguula ekintu ekiikorre kino niki?

17 Petro yagia emberi na awalaga otino, “Awiifu manyire mbwe ewintu ewia inywe alala na awakangasi wiinyu mwakorra Yesu, mwawikola mu okutamanya.* 18 Ni kukawa kutio, Katonda yatuusianga amangʼana aga yawoola ni kuwitra ku *awagambi waae woona kale mbwe Kristo owa Katonda arinyaasiwua.* 19 Kutio, mugaluke mureke amawi giinyu kugere Katonda awaeruyie ku amawi,* 20 kugere Katonda awa-ee enyinga ezia emioyo giinyu giesa okutuukra amaani amayia ku iye kandi kugere Katonda awatumre Yesu Kristo owa mwamala okuloworrwa kale. 21 Yesu oyo aaza okuwa ku igulu nawuno kutuuke enyinga ezia ewintu wiona wiiza okugaluka wiwe ewintu ewiyia mala kiomo *Omwami Katonda yamala okuwoola kale ni kuwitra ku awagambi waae awakulu.* 22 Ni kuwuene aeniki Muusa yawoola mbwe, ‘Omwami Katonda, ori Katonda iinyu, aaza okuwatumra omugambi waae kiomo antumre otino, okuema ku awantu wiinyu.

Petro ni Yowaana wairrwe mu ekiina

1 Olwa Petro ni Yowaana waawanga ni wakiagamba-gamba na awantu, *awoozia wandi no omukangasi owa awarinzi awa *ekaalu alala na *Awasadukaayo* wandi waawatuukako. 2 Enda ziawu ziawanga ni ziyiire ino ni Petro ni Yowaana aeniki *awatumwa wawiri wano waagereranga kandi waalanzizianga awantu mbwe Yesu amiire okuziuka, kutio mbwe awafu waaza okuziuka.** 3 Kutio wa-amba Petro ni Yowaana wata mu owusiwe wagonamo nawuno owuire wukia aeniki wa-ambwa no owuire wumiire okuira. 4 Ni kukawa kutio, awantu awangi awaawurra amangʼana aga Petro ni Yowaana waawa no okuganya ku Yesu. Okwo kwasonga awantu awari no okuganya, awa ekisaaza wengʼene wawa awantu elufu witaanu.*

5 Enkio walwo, awakangasi na *awagaaka awa Awayaudi alala na *awagerezi awa endagirra woona waikumia Yerusaleemu. 6 Waaikumia alala mu ekiina na Anaasi Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia, alala na awandi kiomo Kaifa, Yowaana, Aleksanda na awantu wandi woona awaema mu ekiriango ekia awoozia. 7 Nikuemao, waaimerezia Petro ni Yowaana agati ya awantu, watanika okuwawuuzia watino, “Tuagala mutulage geeza, aa mutoorre amaani aga mulamiizie nago omuntu ono? Nakuwa mumulamiizie ku eriina eria anu?”*

8 Petro, na aizuziiwue no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, yaema awairania otino, “Awiifu inywe awakangasi na awagaaka awa *Awayaudi,* 9 ni kuri mbwe reero luno mutuwuuzia amangʼana aga ekintu ekilootu ekikoriirwe omuntu ewerenga omurema ono kandi mbwe ne engiraaki eya alamremo, 10 kane inywe alala na Awaisraeli woona musarigire muwurre.

13 Olwa awakangasi wano waawona kiomo Petro ni Yowaana waagamba-gambanga no owusiani ni kandi na awantu-uwantu awaatasoma, waawa no okuluguula ino.

Kandi waawalaga kiomo awakangasi awa awoozia alala na awagaaka wawasiagiizie. 24 Olwa awiina waawu waawurra amangʼana ago woona waatanika okusawa Katonda ni wawoola watino, “Oo *Omwami Katonda, omulusi owa ekialo ni igulu ne enyanza ne ewintu wiona ewiwirimo!* 25 Iwue wawoola kale ni kuwitra ku *omukurumu waao guukwa iifu Daudi olwa yawoola ku amaani aga Omwoyo gwao Omweru mbwe:

Omuntu ono oona yaguzia ilowa riae. 2 Ku amasendi aga yatuukra yagawula agandi areka mu enyumba, na agandi aira agia ata mu amakono aga *awatumwa, awasemerezia mbwe ago gengʼene nigo amasendi aga atuukiire. Mukaae oona yamanya ekingʼana ekio.* 3 Olwa Ananiasi yaira amasendi ago, Petro yamuwuuzia otino, “Ananiasi, ekigera no oganyiire *Ekikeeno kikuingiramo mu omwoyo niki?

Kandi owuti wua-amba awantu woona awaawurra ekintu ekiaikola ekio. 6 Nikuemao, awazia waaza wawasaania omuwiri gwae ne enguwo kandi wamuginga wamufumia enze, wagia wamuawira.

Olwa Omukangasi owa awoozia alala na awakangasi awiina waae waatuuka, waaeta ekiina ekinene ekia awakangasi na *awagaaka awa Awayaudi woona. Nikuemao, waatumania amangʼana mu owusiwe mbwe awatumwa awa Yesu awari mu owusiwe omwo wareetwe emberi waawu. 22 No olwa awakangasi awa awa-iiye waagia watuuka mu owusiwe, waatuukra mbwe awatumwa awa Yesu wawulamo. Kutio waairana ku awakangasi awaawatuma wawairanizia amangʼana watino, 23 “Olwa tugiire mu enyumba eya owusiwe, tugiire tutuukra ewiriango wiona ni wiigaalweo wukalu geeza kandi awarinzi woona waweerenga ao ni warinda geeza.

3 Ni yawanga ku engira na ari ampi okutuuka Damaskaasi, yaizukira na awona idangaala eria owueru ni wuaema ku igulu ni wumuikako.* 4 Yagwa ansi ku engira kandi yawurra omwoyo ni gumulaga gutino, “Saulo, Saulo, ekigera no ondambiizie wululu otio niki?”*

5 Saulo yamuwuuzia otino, “Omwami, iwue ni iwue anu?” Omwoyo ogwo gwamulaga gutino, “Inze ni inze Yesu owa odambiizie wululu. 6 Ni, ema ogie ku omugizi ogwa Damaskaasi kandi ooza okugia okulagwa ekia osugaane okole.”

7 Awantu awaagenda-gendanga ni Saulo waawanga ao kandi ekintu ekio kiawa-amba eminwa. Waawurra omwoyo ni gugamba-gamba ni ngawakawona omuntu. 8 Saulo yaimerra aema ansi. Olwa yasanukula amiiso gaae kiwulao ekintu ekia yaesanga okuwona. Kutio awantu awayawanga nawo awo waamuamba okukono wamuira Damaskaasi. 9 Ku amiire asatu yawa omuwuunu kandi ngakanywa namba ngakaria ekintu.

10 Yawangao omuntu wundi Damaskaasi oetwa Ananiasi, owawanga omulonzi owa Yesu. Katonda yagamba-gamba nae mu owusasuko na awoola otino, “Ananiasi!” Yamuirania otino, “Ndi ano Omwami.”

11 Yesu yamulaga otino, “Ema ogie mu enyumba eya Yudaasi eri ku engira eetwa mbwe Enyigolovu, ogie owuuzie mbwe oagala omuntu oemere Taaso oetwa mbwe Saulo. Ari ao nyingeeno asawa, 12 kandi amiire okuwona mu owusasuko no omuntu oetwa mbwe Ananiasi aingira aa ari kandi amutaako amakono gaae, kugere awone kandi.”

13 Ananiasi yamuirania otino, “Omwami, awantu awangi wamiire okundaga amangʼana amangi ku omuntu ono kandi kiomo amiire okuweerako na akorra awalowole waao ewintu ewiwiiwi ewingi Yerusaleemu. 14 Kandi katio nyingeeno aazre ano ne ebaruwa eemere ku Omukangasi owa awoozia okuuza okuamba awantu woona awaganyire ku iwue.”

15 No Omwami Yesu yamuirania otino, “Iwue gia aeniki miire okumulowoola okukola emirimo giange; egia okulanzia amangʼana gange ku awantu awatari *Awayaudi, awaami waawu na awantu woona Awaisraeli.* 16 Kandi inze omwene nyiza okumulagirizia kiomo kuuza okumunigirizia okunyaka-nyaakra eriina riange.”*

17 Kutio Ananiasi yaema agia aingira mu enyumba omwo. Yata amakono gaae ku Saulo na amulaga otino, “Wamwifu Saulo, Omwami Yesu owakufumira no ori ku engira no ooza ano antumre ku iwue kugere otanike kandi okuwona, kandi oizuziwue no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.”* 18 Ao ao, ewintu ewifwanana na amagamba aga emvwa wiaema ku amiiso aga Saulo wigwa ansi kandi amiiso gaae gaaiguka. Yaema kungulu kandi abatiiswa. 19 Olwa yamala okuria, amaani gaamuiranira kandi.

Saulo alanziizie amangʼana aga Yesu Damaskaasi

Saulo yawa na awantu awaganyire ku Yesu Damaskaasi ku amiire amatono. 20 Yagia mu *esinagoogi atanika kalala okulanzizia awantu omwo, mbwe Yesu no Omuzia owa Katonda.* 21 Awantu woona awaamuwurra waawa no okuluguula ino kandi waatanika okuiwuuzia watino, “Ono ngʼanio omuntu owaitanga awantu awaganyire ku eriina eria Yesu Yerusaleemu? Kandi owuo katio ngaazre ano okuamba awantu awakola watio okuirra awakangasi awa awoozia?”*

22 Kukawa kutio, okulanzia okwa Paulo kwasonga okuwa na amaani amangi ino kandi engira ezia yalaganiramo mbwe Yesu nio *Meesia kwangʼangʼaazia Awayaudi awaawanga ni wamenyere Damaskaasi, aa awulao omuntu owaesanga okumuirania ekingʼana.**

23 Na amiire amangi gaamala okuwita, Awayaudi wandi waaikumia alala okuagala engira eya okuita Saulo, 24 ni Saulo yagia amanya okuagala kwawu. Owuire no omuwasu waamuiteganga mu ewikulo ewi-ingira mu omugizi ogwa Damaskaasi ni wagala mbwe wamuite. 25 Okwo kwagera owuire wundi awalonzi waae wamuta mu entayi owuire wamuisia ansi kuwitra mu iwanga eriawanga ku enzizi eya omugizi.*

26 Olwa Saulo yairana Yerusaleemu, yagalanga mbwe aizoge na awalonzi awa Yesu awawangao ni waamutia aeniki ngawakawa no okuganya mbwe Saulo oona no omulonzi owa Yesu. 27 Kutio Baranabaasi nio owamutoola amuira ku *awatumwa awa Yesu awalaga kiomo Saulo yawuine Omwami Yesu ku engira kandi kiomo Omwami Yesu yamugamba-gambiire kandi lwona kiomo yalanziizie amangʼana ku eriina eria Yesu Damaskaasi no owusiani.** 28 Kutio Saulo yawa nawo ao kandi yagenda-genda mu omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu na alanzia amangʼana ku eriina eria Omwami Yesu no owusiani. 29 Yagamba-gamba kandi yaikululana mu amangʼana na Awayaudi awaawoolanga Olugiriiki. Na awantu wano waageezaania mbwe wamuite.* 30 Olwa awalonzi wandi waamanya ekingʼana kino, waatoola Saulo wamuisia Kaesaria kandi wamutuma mbwe agie Taaso.*

31 Nikuemao katio awantu awaganyire ku Yesu awari mu ewitemo wiona ewia Yudeea, Galiili ni Samaria waawa no owuolu. Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yawa-aa amaani kandi waaisonga wawa awangi ino. Kandi waamenya ni waeere Katonda owuti.

Petro alamiizie omuntu Liida

32 Petro yagenda-genda mu embega ziona ezia ekialo ekio. Owuire wulala yagia okuwona awiina waae awari no okuganya ku Yesu awaawanga ni wamenyere Liida. 33 Liida ao yatuukrao omuntu oetwa mbwe Ainea owawanga omulwire owa omuwiri ogufwa ngʼanzi kandi yawanga na amiire okuwa na ari ku iseero na atagenda-genda ku emiaka munaane. 34 Olwa Petro yamuwona yamulaga otino, “Ainea!

Petro aziusie Tabiitha

36 Yawangao omukazi oetwa mbwe Tabiitha owawanga na amenyere Yoopa. (Mu Olugiriiki yaetwanga mbwe Dorkaasi.) Omukazi ono yawanga omulonzi owa Yesu. Yawanga omukazi owa enkola endootu kandi yatunzianga awantu awataka. 37 Mumiire ago omuwiri gwamukuba alwala nawuno afwa. Omuwiri gwae gwaoziwua geeza gugia guteewua mu enyumba eya goroofa kungulu. 38 Yoopa yawanga ampi ni Liida. Kutio olwa awalonzi awa Yesu waawurra mbwe Petro ari Liida, waatuma awantu wawiri mbwe wagie wamulage mbwe awagieko wuangu-wuangu.

39 Kutio Petro yaema agia na awantu awaatumwa awo; kandi olwa waatuuka, yatoolwa airwa mu enyumba eya kungulu aa omuwiri ogwa Tabiitha gwawanga ni guteerwe. Awakazi awafwire woona waaikumia ku Petro ni warra kandi ni wamulaga enguwo ezigawukane-gawukaane ezia Dorkaasi yawanawranga ni yawanga na akiari omulamu. 40 Petro yawafumia woona mu enyumba, nikuemao akuba ansi amasigamo atanika okusawa Katonda. Olwa yamala okusawa, yagaluka awarra omuwiri ogwa Tabiitha kandi awoola otino, “Tabiitha, ema kungulu!” Tabiitha yasanukula amiiso, olwa yawona Petro yaema aikala.* 41 Petro yamuamba amakono amuemia kungulu.

1 Yawangao omuntu ku omugizi ogwa Kaisaria owaetwanga mbwe Kornelio, owawanga omukangasi owa omuganda ogwa awa-iiye ogwaetwanga mbwe omuganda ogwa Itaalia. 2 Iye alala na awantu awa mu enyumba yaae woona waawanga ni watiire Katonda ino. Ku owusiza wuae yatunzianga *Awayaudi awataka kandi yasawanga Katonda owuire ki owuire.* 3 Owuire wulala igulo mu enyinga ezia kienda, yawona owusasuko aa *enyankoi owa Katonda yamufumira geeza mala amueta otino, “Kornelio.”*

4 Olwa Kornelio yagingirizia amiiso kungulu mala awona enyankoi oyo, yamuirania no owuti wumuambre ino otino, “Ndi ano Omwami.”

Enyankoi oyo yamuirania otino, “Okusawa kwao alala ne ewintu ewia omiire okuwaao no otunzia nawio awantu awataka wimiire okutuuka ku Katonda, kutio Katonda akuingiriizie. 5 Kutio tuma awantu Yoopa wagie wakuetre omuntu oetwa mbwe Simioni, oetwa ku eriina rindi mbwe Petro. 6 Ari mu enyumba eya Simioni omutowoki owa amaseero, omenyere ampi no omwalo.”*

7 Olwa enyankoi oyo yamala okugia, Kornelio yaeta awemirimo waae wawiri alala no omulala ku owa-iiye waae owamutunzianga kandi owawanga na atiire Katonda. 8 Yawalaga ewintu wiona ewiaikola, nikwo awatuma Yoopa.

9 Enkio walwo mu enyinga ezia mukaaga na *awatumwa awa Kornelio waawanga ampi okutuuka ku omugizi ogwa Yoopa, Petro yaniina ku olusala kungulu okugia okusawa. 10 Yawanga na awurra enzala, kutio yaagalanga okuria. Ni no okuria kwawanga ni kukiafumbwa, Katonda yamusasurra ekintu.* 11 Mu owusasuko omwo, yawona igulu ni ri-iguukeo kandi ekintu ekifwana enguwo enene eyanzuulwe ne eisiziwua ansi ku ekialo.* 12 Mu enguwo omwo yawona entiangʼi ziona ne enyonyi alala ne entiangʼi ezimoola ansi ni zirimo. 13 Nikuemao yawurra omwoyo ni gumulaga gutino, “Petro ema oite ewintu wino orie.”

14 Petro yamuirania otino, “Yaaya, Omwami, okuemerra ri nkiari okuria ekintu-ukintu ekitari ekieru nikulondokana no okuagala okwa endagirra iifu.”*

15 Omwoyo ogwo kandi gwamulaga gutino, “Otaaza waaeta ekintu-ukintu ekia Katonda amiire *okueruyia mbwe kimwamu.”*

16 Kino kiaikola kasatu, nikuemao enguwo eyo yairaniziwua ku igulu. 17 Mu amaginga aga Petro yawanga na akiaingirizia ekintu ekia Katonda yawanga na amulaga mu owusasuko omwo, awantu awa Kornelio yatuma waawanga ni wamiire okumanya aa yawanga kandi waawanga ku ekiriango. Waatuuka ku ekikulo ekia enyumba eya yawanga na arimo. 18 Waawuuzia ni kuri mbwe omwo nimwo Simioni Petro ari. 19 Ni Petro yawanga na akiaingirizia ekia Katonda yamulaga mu owusasuko owuo, *Omwoyo Omweru yamulaga otino, “Petro, wario awantu wasatu awakuagala.* 20 Kutio ema oike ansi kandi ogie-wugia nawo aa waemere aeniki ni inze owatumre ku iwue.”

21 Kutio Petro yaika ansi. Olwa yawona awantu awo, yawalaga otino, “Inze ni inze owamuagala; ekia munyagarra niki?”

22 Awantu awo waamuirania watino, “Omukangasi owa awa-iiye oetwa mbwe Kornelio nio otutumre. Kornelio ari omuntu otiire Katonda ino kandi Awayaudi woona wamueere owuti. Nikulondokana no owuigolovu wuae emberi owa Katonda, enyankoi omweru owa Katonda amulagre mbwe atume awantu waaze wakuete ogie mu enyumba yaae kugere omuwoorre ekia ori nakio.” 23 Kutio Petro yawaingizia omwa yawanga, wawa awageni waae.

Petro aweere omugeni owa Kornelio

Owuire owualondako, Petro yafuma na awantu awo alala na awantu wandi awaawanga ni waganyire ku amangʼana aga Yesu mu omugizi ogwa Yoopa agia nawo. 24 Olwa waatuuka Kaisaria enkio walwo, waatuukra ni Kornelio aetre awaganda waae alala na awiiko waae kandi waikumiizie alala aeniki Kornelio yawanga na arindirra ino waawu Petro watuuke. 25 Olwa Kornelio yawona Petro na aingira, yagia okumuagaanra. Yagwa mu amagulu aga Petro amuifunamira. 26 Ni Petro yamuemia kungulu na amulaga otino, “Reka okunyifunamira aeniki inze noona ndi omuntu ki iwue!”* 27 Petro yagamba-gamba nae ni waingira mu enyumba omwa yatuukra awantu awangi ino ni waikumiizie omwo. 28 Yalaga awantu otino, “Inywe aweene mumanyire geeza mbwe ifwe Awayaudi endagirra iifu ngetuganyiire okuwa alala na awantu awatari Awayaudi. Ni Katonda amiire okundaga mbwe ngʼansugaane mboole mbwe omuntu-umuntu ari mumwamu.* 29 Kutio olwa ntuukiire owutumwa mbwe nyetwa, nyizre-uuza aa ntaingiriizie ekintu-ukintu. Kutio ndage ekia onyetiire.”

30 Kornelio yamuirania otino, “Amiire ane agawitre, ni nyawanga mu enyumba yange ni nsawa mu enyinga ezia kienda igulo. Nyaizukra ni mbona omuntu na aimeriire emberi wange na aingiizie enguwo enzeru zerre.* 31 Omuntu ono yandaga mbwe, ‘Kornelio!

Kutio twona turi ano emberi wa Katonda turindra okuwurra kandi okukola kiomo Katonda amiire okukulaga mbwe otulage.”

Petro agamba-gambiire awantu awatari Awayaudi

34 Petro yatanika okuwagamba-gambra na awoola otino, “Reero manyire mbwe Katonda kane ngagawula awantu, na awona awantu woona owuagani.* 35 Aingizia omuntu-umuntu okola geeza kandi omueere owuti akawa omuntuki. 36 Mumanyire amangʼana aga Katonda yatumra Awaisraeli okuwitra ku Yesu ori Omwami owa awantu woona, owalanzia amangʼana amalootu agareetra awantu owuolu.* 37 Lwona mumiire okuwurra ewintu wiona ewimiire okuikola mu ekialo ekia Yudeea okutanikra mu ekitemo ekia Galiili lunyima ni Yowaana yamala okulanzizia awantu amangʼana aga *owubatiiso.* 38 Kiomo Katonda yalowola Yesu Omunazareeti owa yaizuzia no Omwoyo Omweru na amaani, kandi asi wuansi aa yagia yakorra awantu geeza na alamia awantu woona awaawanga mu owusiwe owua *Ekikeeno, aeniki Katonda yawanga nae.* 39 Ifwe twawona ewintu wiona ewia Yesu yakola mu ekialo ekia Awayaudi ni ku omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu na amiiso giifu.

4 Petro yatanika okuwalaga ewintu wiona ewiaikola ni kiomo wiaikola otino, 5 “Owuire wulala nyawanga ni nsawa Katonda ni ndi ku omugizi ogwa Yoopa.

22 Olwa amangʼana gano gaatuuka ku ekaniisa eya Yerusaleemu, awatumwa waatuma Baranabaasi okugia okuwona ekiaikolanga eyo.* 23 Olwa yatuuka kandi awona ewintu ewilootu ewiaikola ku owusiza owua Katonda, yasangaala ino. Kutio yawa-ambia amaani na awasikirra mbwe wagie emberi okuwa no okuganya kandi wakole emirimo egia Omwami ne emioyo giawu giona.* 24 Baranabaasi yawanga omuntu omulootu ori no okuganya okungi kandi oizuziiwue no Omwoyo Omweru.

Awakristo wawona eminyako-nyaako emizito

1 Mu amiire gano, Omwami *Eroode Agiriipa yatanika okuamba kandi okunyaasia awantu awari no okuganya ku Yesu wululu. 2 Ni iye owasikirra awantu waae okuita Yakoobo wamwawu Yowaana no omwambe.* 3 Olwa yawona mbwe okufwa okwa Yakoobo kwasangaazia *Awayaudi, yagia emberi a-amba Petro.

5 Kutio Petro yateewua mu owusiwe. Ni yawanga munsi, Awakristo waamusawira Katonda ino.*

Petro afumre mu owusiwe

6 Owuire owua ekiina ekia Petro kiawanga ni kigoneere mbwe enkio kirikengwa, Petro yawanga na agona agati ya awarinzi wawiri na asiwirwe amakono ne eminyororo iwiri kandi awarinzi wandi ni waemereere mu ekiriango. 7 Kwaizukira ne *enyankoi owa Katonda aimeriire ampi ni Petro kandi owueru wuawa mu enyumba eya owusiwe. Enyankoi yakuba-kuba iwega eria Petro na amulamusia otino, “Petro ema!” Ao ao, eminyororo giaema mu amakono aga Petro gigwa ansi.

8 Enyankoi yamulaga otino, “Ingizia enguwo ziao ne ewiraato wiao.” Ni Petro yamala okukola otio, enyankoi kandi yamulaga otino, “Ingizia enguwo yaao eya kungulu ondonde.” 9 Petro yamulonda ni wafuma mu owusiwe. Kukawa kutio ngakawanga na amanyire mbwe ekiaikolanga ekio kiaikolanga kuwuene. Iye yaingirizianga mbwe aloota, nakuwa awona owusasuko. 10 Olwa waamala okuwita ku awarinzi awa emberi na awalondako, waatuuka mu ekikulo ekinene ekia ekiuma eki-ingira mu omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu. Ekikulo ekio kiaigukao ekiene kandi waakiwitako ni wagia. Ku engira ni wagia, Petro yaizukira ne enyankoi amiire okumureka.*

11 Ao nio Petro yamanyira ekimuikoriire. Kandi yawoola otino, “Nyingeeno katio manyire geeza mbwe ni kuwuene, mbwe Omwami atumire enyankoi okuuza okumfumia mu amakono aga Eroode ni ku ewintu wiona ewia Awayaudi wagiilenga okunkorra.”

12 Olwa yamala okumanya owueru owua ekintu ekiaikola ekio, yagia mu enyumba eya Maaria ngʼinwawu Yowaana. Yowaana oyo yaetwanga ne eriina rindi mbwe Mariiko. Awantu waawanga ni waikumiizie omwo kandi waasawanga Katonda.* 13 Petro yakongʼoota ekiriango ekia enze na agala mbwe aigurrweo.

16 Ni Petro iye yagianga emberi okukongʼoota ekiriango. Waaigulao watuukra mbwe kuwuene ni iye kandi waawa no okuluguula ino. 17 Iye yawasarigizia no okukono kwae mbwe wasarigire, nikwo yawalaga geeza kiomo *Omwami Katonda amufumiizie mu owusiwe.

26 “Waamwifu, awiizukulu awa Abraamu na awantu woona awatari Awayaudi awari ano awasawa Katonda, ni ifwe awaatumirwa amangʼana aga owuinunuzi gano! 27 Awantu awa Yerusaleemu na awakangasi waawu ngawakamanya mbwe Yesu nio Omununuzi, kandi okumulowa okwa waamulowa okwo kwatuusianga amangʼana aga awagambi awa Katonda agasomwa Sabato ki Sabato.* 28 Kukawa mbwe ngawakatuukra owuoni ku Yesu owuasugananga no olumbe, waasawa Pilaato mbwe aganye Yesu aitwe.* 29 Olwa waamala okukola ewintu wiona ewiajojwa ku okufwa kwae, waamutoola ku *omusalaaba wamuisia ansi wamuta mu owuina.* 30 Ni Katonda yamuziusia okuema ku awafu* 31 kandi yafumira awantu awaagenda-gendanga nae okuemera Galiili na agia Yerusaleemu ni wamuwona ku amiire amangi.

42 Olwa Paulo ni Baranabaasi waafumanga ni wagia ni wamiire okumala, awantu awo waawasawa kandi mbwe wairane olwa Sabato eeza wasonge kandi okuwagamba-gambra ku amangʼana ago.

Paulo ni Baranabaasi walanzia amangʼana aga Katonda Ikoonia

1 Ewia Paulo ni Baranabaasi waakola Antioki, niwio ewia waakola Ikoonia. Waaingira mu *esinagoogi eya Awayaudi, watanika okugamba-gambra awantu ku amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda nawuno *Awayaudi awangi na awatari Awayaudi woona awangi wawa no okuganya ku Yesu *Kristo. 2 Na Awayaudi awaalowa okuwa no okuganya ku Yesu Kristo waaona emioyo egia awantu awatari Awayaudi kandi wawasigania ni Paulo ni Baranabaasi. 3 Kukawa kutio, *awatumwa waawa ao ku amiire amangi ni wagamba-gamba ku amangʼana aga *Omwami Yesu ni wari no owusiani. Kandi Katonda yawa-aa amaani aga okukola amankono ne ewintu ewiluguulwa. Yakola otio okulagana mbwe amangʼana aga owusiza wuae aga waalanzia gaawanga kuwuene. 4 Awantu awa ku omugizi ogwo waagawukana. Awandi waaizogaania na Awayaudi na awandi wawa nyaluwega olwa awatumwa awa Yesu.

5 Awayaudi na awatari Awayaudi, alala na awakangasi waawu, waawurizania okunyaasia kandi okukuba awatumwa awa Yesu na amawaale.* 6 Olwa awatumwa waamanya amangʼana ago, waasomoka waaema ao wagia Lustra ni Deebe, emigizi egiri mu ekitemo ekia Lukaonia alala ne ewialo ewia ampi ao.* 7 Kandi waalanzia amangʼana amalootu aga Yesu mu ewialo ewia ao.

8 Yawangao omuntu owawanga na amenyere ku omugizi ogwa Lustra owawanga omurema. Yaremera okuemera mu okuiwulwa kwae kandi yawanga na akiari okugenda-genda okuema ri.* 9 Omuntu ono yatega amatwi okuwurra amangʼana aga Paulo yalanzianga. Olwa Paulo yamuwona, yamuwarra mu amiiso tiiri mala amuwona na ari no okuganya okusugre alamiwue. 10 Nikuemao, yamulaga no omwoyo ogwa kungulu otino, “Ema kungulu!” Omuntu oyo yaema kalala atanika okugenda-genda enyinga ezio. 11 Olwa awantu waawona ekintu ekia Paulo yakola ekio, waatanika okugamba-gamba ne emioyo egia kungulu mu omunwa gwawu mbwe, “Awiifu katonda zituuziire mu embonekano eya awantu!”* 12 Waaluka Baranabaasi mbwe Zeeu* ni Paulo owawanga *omugambi omunene waamuluka mbwe Emeesi.† 13 *Omuozia owa Zeeu katonda, owa *ekaalu yaae yaombokwa enze eya omugizi ogwo yareeta amaiiri aga engʼombe na amauwa mu ekikulo, okukorra awatumwa wano omusango.

14 No olwa Paulo ni Baranabaasi waamanya ekia awantu awo waagalanga okukola ekio, waatandula enguwo ziawu‡ wasomoka ni wawagiako ni wakuba erioga ni wawagaania wukalu watino, 15 “Awiifu awantu wano, muagala okukolaki kino?

19 Nikuemao Awayaudi wandi waaema Antioki na awandi waaema Ikoonia, wavuwa awantu wawatoola ku awatumwa. Waakuba Paulo na amawaale nikuemao wamukulula wamufumia enze eya omugizi ni waingirizia mbwe afwire.* 20 No olwa Awakristo waamuikumiako, yaema kungulu airana nawo ku omugizi. Enkio walwo, Paulo ni Baranabaasi waema ao wagia Deebe.

21 Olwa Paulo ni Baranabaasi waamala okulanzia amangʼana aga Katonda mu omugizi ogwa Deebe kandi wagalusia awantu awangi wawa awalonzi awa Yesu, waafuma ao wagia. Ni waaema ao, waairana Lustra nikwo wagia Ikoonia kandi wagia Antioki mu ekialo ekia Pisiidia. 22 Wa-ambia Awakristo amaani ni wawalaga mbwe wagie emberi no okuwa no okuganya ku Yesu kandi okuganya okwa kuwuene. Waawagerera watino, “Kugere tuingire mu *Owuami owua Katonda, paka tuwite mu eminyako-nyaako emingi.”* 23 Waalowola awakangasi mu ekaniisa ki ekaniisa. Olwa waamala okusiwa ni wasawa, waawata mu amakono aga Omwami Katonda owa waawanga ni waganyireko.

24 Waawita mu ekialo ekia Pisiidia, waagia Pamfiilia. 25 Olwa waamala okulanzia amangʼana aga Katonda Peega waaika Ataalia. 26 Ao waatoola owuato waunguka ni wairana Antioki.

Ngakunigirizia Awakristo awatari Awayaudi okulonda enkola ezia Awayaudi

1 *Awayaudi wandi waaema Yudeea waaza Antioki watanika okugerera Awakristo awatari Awayaudi watino, “Ni mutairrwe *enyangu kiomo endagirra eya Muusa eagala, ngamuesa okununulwa.” 2 Olwa Paulo ni Baranabaasi waawurra engerera yaawu eyo, waagilowa kandi kino kiareeta olusoolo agati yaawu nawo. Kutio Paulo ni Baranabaasi waalowolwa alala na awalonzi wandi, watumwa wagia Yerusaleemu ku *awatumwa na *awagaaka awa Awakristo okuwawuuzia ekingʼana kino.* 3 Na Awakristo waamala okuwata mu amakono aga Katonda, waawitra mu ewialo ewia Foeniisia ni Samaria. Ni waawitanga mu ewialo wino, waalaga awantu kiomo awatari Awayaudi wamiire okugaluka wawa Awakristo. Kino kiasangaazia Awakristo awiina waawu awaawurra amangʼana ago ino. 4 Olwa waatuuka Yerusaleemu, Awakristo woona awari eyo na awatumwa alala na awagaaka waawu, waawaingizia kandi waawalaga ewintu ewia Katonda amiire okukola nawo.

5 Awandi ku *Awafarisaayo awaganyire ku Yesu waimerra wawoola watino, “Awatari Awayaudi awagala okuwa Awakristo kunigirizia mbwe paka wairwe enyangu kandi walagwe okukola kiomo endagirra eya Muusa eagala.”

6 Awatumwa na awakangasi awa Awakristo waaikumia alala okutegerezia ingʼana erio. 7 Ni waamala okugamba-gamba kuwungi, Petro yaimerra kandi awalaga otino, “Awiina wange, mumanyire mbwe kaleko wutono, Katonda yandowola ku inywe mbwe ndanzizie awatari Awayaudi amangʼana amalootu gano kugere wagawurre kandi waganye ku Yesu. 8 Katonda omanyire emioyo giifu, ya-aa awantu wano *Omwoyo Omweru, ekilago mbwe aganyire nawo mala kiomo yatukorra.* 9 Ngakagawula agati iifu nawo aeniki yawaeruyia emioyo ku okuganya ku Yesu kiomo twona yatukorra.* 10 Kutio ekigera ni muagala okugeezaania Katonda, ku oku-aa awalonzi wano emisigo emizito egia ifwe namba waaguukwa wiifu ngawakaesanga okuginga niki?* 11 Yaaya! Tumanyire mbwe kiomo tununulwa ku owusiza owua *Omwami Yesu nintio iwo woona wanunulwa.”*

12 Kutio awantu woona waasarigira kandi wawurra kiomo Katonda amiire okukorra awantu awatari Awayaudi amankono ne ewilago ni kuwitra ku Paulo ni Baranabaasi. 13 Ni waamala okugamba-gamba, Yakoobo yaimerra awoola otino, “Muwurre! 14 Simioni Petro amiire okutulaga kiomo Katonda ampi ano yalagana olugonzi lwae olwa yalowola awantu wandi ku awatari Awayaudi mbwe wawe awantu waae omwene. 15 Kandi nintio amangʼana aga *awagambi awa Katonda goona gawoola, kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe,

16 “ ‘Ni kino kimiire okuikola, ndiriirana

19 Yakoobo yagia emberi okuwoola mbwe, “Kutio inze mbona mbwe ngatusugaane tunyaasie awantu awatari Awayaudi awagaluuke okuuza ku Katonda mbwe walonde endagirra ziifu.* 20 Ni tusugaane tuwajojere ebaruwa tuwalage mbwe wawe ale ne ewiokuria ewitari ewieru emberi wa Katonda ewifumiziiwue katonda ensaasa emisango, watasooda, wataria ewintu ewigogerwe wifwa, ni lwona watanywa amasaai.* 21 Ago gasugre aeniki okuemera kale endagirra ezia Muusa zimiire okuweerwako ni zisomwa amiire goona aga *Sabato mu amasinagoogi.

22 Nikuemao, awatumwa, awagaaka alala na Awakristo woona waawona mbwe walowole awantu wandi agati yaawu aweene kugere wawatume alala ni Baranabaasi ni Paulo ku Awakristo awiina waawu awari Antioki. Waatuma Yudaasi owaetwanga mbwe Baranabaasi alala ni Siila, awantu awa Awakristo waawanga ni waeere owuti ino.* 23 Ebaruwa yajojwa etino:

“Ku waamwifu Awakristo awatari Awayaudi awamenyere Antioki, Siiria ni Siliisia.

30 Kutio, olwa awatumwa awo waamala okuwakubra ekurinde, waafuma wagia Antioki aa waaeta awantu woona awaganyire ku Katonda waikumia alala. Nikuemao waawa-aa ebaruwa eya waaewua mbwe wawairre. 31 Ni waamala okugisoma, waasangaala ino ku amaani aga waawa-ambia. 32 Yudaasi ni Siila awaawanga awagambi awa Katonda, waawagamba-gambra ni wawa-ambia amaani ku amangʼana amangi.* 33 Ni Yudaasi ni Siila waamala okuweera eyo ku emidiira egisugre, awiina waawu awo waawasewula wairane no owuolu ku awaawatuma. 34 [Ni Siila iye yakenga okusigala eyo.]* 35 Ni Baranabaasi yasigala ni Paulo Antioki aa iwo na awantu wandi awangi waalanzia kandi waagerera amangʼana aga Katonda.

11 Twaema Troowa tuwunguka tugia Samotraake. Enkio walwo twa-ambuka tugia Neapooli. 12 Nikuemao twagenda-genda na amagulu nawuno twatuuka Filiipi, omugizi omunene ogwa Makedoonia ogwawanga omugizi ogwa Awaruumi.

Twatuukra awakazi wandi ni waikumiizie ao ni wasawa, kutio twona twaikala asi tutanika okugamba-gamba nawo. 14 Omulala ku awakazi awo yaetwanga mbwe Luudia. Omukazi ono yawanga na aemere asi aetwa mbwe Thiatiira. Yawanga omuntu otiire Katonda kandi yawanga na akuba amaara aga enguwo ezia ebeei eri kungulu ino. 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.*

1 Paulo ni Siila waawitra mu ewialo ewia Amfipooli ni Apoloonia, waaza Thesaloniika aa *esinagoogi eya Awayaudi yawangamo. 2 Kutio kiomo kwawanga enkola yaae *Sabato ki Sabato, Paulo yagia omwo kandi agerera amangʼana aga Katonda ku emidiira isatu.* 3 Yalaga awantu awaawanga omwo geeza mbwe kwanigirizia *Kristo okuinyaasia, no olwa yamala okufwa yaziuka aema ku awafu. Paulo yawalaga otino, “Kutio Yesu owangerera amangʼana gaae ono nio *Meesia.”* 4 Awandi ku *Awayaudi awaawanga omwo waaganya ku amangʼana ago kandi walonda Paulo ni Siila. Awandi woona awatari Awayaudi awaawanga ni waganyire ku amangʼana aga Katonda, alala na awakazi wandi awangi kandi awamanyikaane, woona waaganya amangʼana gaawu ago.*

5 Kukawa kutio, iyari ria-amba Awayaudi wandi mala wagamba-gamba na awantu wandi awa enkola embiiwi ku omugizi ogwo, nikuemao watanika okukuba erioga alala nawo. Waagia mu enyumba eya Yasooni okuwarra Paulo ni Siila kugere wawareete emberi wa awantu.* 6 Olwa waatuukra mbwe wawula omwo, wa-amba Yasooni na Awakristo wandi wawareeta emberi wa awakangasi awa omugizi ogwo. Waawaingirra watino, “Awantu wano wamiire okureetra ewialo ewingi eminyako-nyaako. Wuno waazre okutusigania ifwe twona.* 7 Ni Yasooni yawaingiizie omwae. Woona wamiire okuona endagirra eya Omwami *Kaisaari ku okuwoola mbwe ario omwami wundi oetwa mbwe Yesu.”* 8 Olwa awakangasi alala na awantu awaawanga ao waawurra amangʼana ago, enda ziawu ziayia ino. 9 Waakenga mbwe Yasooni na awiina waae waoloole amasendi. Waaoloola nikwo wawareka wagia.*

Paulo ni Siila watuukiire eminyako-nyaako Berea

10 Nyanga olwo owuire, Awakristo waafumia Paulo ni Siila wagia Berea. Olwa waatuuka Berea, waagia mu esinagoogi omwa Awayaudi waasawiranga. 11 Awayaudi awaawanga ni wamenyere Berea waawanga awantu awalootu awari no okuwurra okukira awiina waawu awaawanga ni wamenyere Thesaloniika. Iwo waategerezia amangʼana goona aga Paulo ni Siila waawagerera kandi waasomanga endagano, okumanya kuwuene mbwe ewintu ewia Paulo ni Siila waawagereranga wiawanga ni wiri kuwuene.* 12 Kutio Awayaudi awangi na awakazi awangi awatari Awayaudi awamanyikaane alala na awasaaza awatari Awayaudi, waaganya ku amangʼana aga Katonda.*

13 Olwa Awayaudi awaawanga ni wamenyere Thesaloniika waawurra mbwe Paulo ni Siila walanzia amangʼana aga Katonda Berea, waawalonderezia kandi wawasigania na awantu awa Berea woona.* 14 Kutio olwa Awakristo waawona otio, waalaga Paulo afume ku omugizi ogwo, agie ku ensanyaata eya omwalo ogwa Makedoonia. Siila ni Timotheeo iwo waasigala. 15 Ni Paulo yamala okufuma ku omugizi ogwo, yagia ku omugizi oguetwa mbwe Atheene. Olwa yatuuka eyo, yalaga awantu awaamureeta mbwe wagie walage Siila ni Timotheeo mbwe awarinda, waaze wuangu-wuangu.

Paulo alanziziizie awa Atheene amangʼana aga Katonda

16 Ni Paulo yawanga na akiarinda Siila ni Timotheeo ku omugizi ogwa Atheene, yawa no owululu ino olwa yawona mbwe katonda ensaasa ziri asi-uasi ku omugizi ogwo. 17 Ekio kiagera Paulo agia mu esinagoogi kandi agerera Awayaudi na awatari Awayaudi awaasawanga Katonda kiomo Katonda aagala. Owuire ki owuire, yagianga mu olwanyi olwa omugizi okulanzizia awantu awaawanga ao amangʼana aga Katonda.* 18 Awantu wandi awaawanga ni waganyire ku igerera eria Epukuuri* na awandi awaawanga ni waganyire ku igerera eria Stoiko,† ngawakaganya ne ekia Paulo yagereranga. Awandi ku iwo waaiwuuzia agati yaawu aweene watino, “Kane omuntu ofwa okugamba-gamba ugamba-gamba ono, awoola ki?” Awandi waawairania watino, “Kuwonekana mbwe agamba-gamba ku katonda zindi empia.” Waawoola watio aeniki Paulo yawanga na agamba-gamba ku Yesu ni ku okuziuka okwae.* 19 Awantu awo waatoola Paulo waira ku oluwuga oluetwa *Areopaago mala wamuwuuzia watino, “Amangʼana aga ogerera gano galaganaki? 20 Owuganga owua oreetre wuno wuyia ku ifwe, kutio tuagala okumanya ekia wulagana.” 21 (Awantu woona awamenyere ku omugizi ogwa Atheene namba awageni, waawanga ni wagonziizie okugamba-gamba ku ewintu ewiikorre ewiyia, ni wakuba entaka.)

22 Paulo yaimerra emberi wa ekiina, awalaga otino, Awantu awa Atheene, mbawona kuwuene mbwe muri awantu awamanyire amangʼana aga ediini. 23 Aeniki, olwa mbeerenga ni ngenda-genda kandi ni mbarra ewintu wiinyu ewia okusawa, mbwine *isiga eria okukorra emisango erijojerwe mbwe ku katonda otamanyiike. Kutio, ekia mumiire okuwa ni musawa ki ekintu ekia mutamanyire, nikio ekia nyagala okuwalaga.

24 “Katonda owaluka ekialo ne ewintu wiona ewirimo nio Omwami owa igulu ne ekialo. Iye ngamenyere mu *ekaalu eombookwe na awantu.* 25 Lwona ngakorrwa emirimo no omuntu namba omuntu ngamutunzia aeniki iye nio oesana owulamu ne ewintu wiona ku omuntu.* 26 Awantu woona awamenyere mu ewialo ewigawuke-gawuuke waaema ku omuntu omulala. Ni kino kiaikola kugere mu okutanyika kwawu okwo, waizuzie ekialo kiona. Omulusi yawalaga amiire na asi aa wasugaane wamenye.* 27 Katonda yakola kino kugere awantu wamuagale. Yaagalanga mbwe awantu wakole wukalu wamumanye. Ni kiomo kuri, ngaari ale ni ifwe,* 28 mala kiomo omuntu yajoja na awoola mbwe, ‘Ku amaani gaae turio awalamu kandi tugenda-genda.’ Awembi wiinyu woona wawoola mbwe, ‘Turi awaana waae.’

29 “Kutio, ni turi awaana waae otio ngatusugaane tuingirizie mbwe Katonda afwanana ne ewintu ewiwanzrwe na amaganga aga omuntu okuema ku amawaale, emiti namba ewiuma.* 30 Kale Katonda ngaka-aa owusiru owufwana wutio owuzito, ni mu amiire gano asikirra awantu asi-uasi aa wari mbwe wagaluke wareke amawi.* 31 Aeniki amiire okulowola owuire owua omulowole waae aaza okukengera ekialo ekiina owusugre ne enkola eya omuntu ki omuntu.

32 Olwa waawurra mbwe kurio okuziuka okuema ku awafu, awandi ku iwo waagwa ne enseko ni wamusekera. Na awandi waamulaga watino, “Tuuza okuwurra ekia owoola ku ingʼana rino, owuire wundi.” 33 Kutio, Paulo yafuma awareka. 34 Awantu wandi awaaganya ku amangʼana aga Paulo yagereranga waamulonda. Omulala ku awantu awaalonda Paulo yaetwanga mbwe Dioniisio owaawanga omulala ku *awagaaka awa Areopaago. Omukazi wundi oetwa mbwe Damariisi alala na awandi woona waaganya ku amangʼana aga Paulo yagerera ago.

Paulo ari mu ekialo ekia Awakorintho

1 Nikuemao Paulo yafuma Atheene agia Korintho. 2 Ano yaagana no *Omuyaudi wundi owaiwulwa mu ekialo ekia Pontuusi oetwa mbwe Akwila. Kuno kwatuukra Akwila ni mukaae Preskiila nikwo waaingira ampi ao ni waema Itaalia aa waasomosiwua nikulondokana ne *ensikirra eya Omwami Klaudiasi yawanga na afumiizie mbwe Awayaudi woona wafume Rooma. Kutio Paulo yagia okuwawona.* 3 Paulo yamenya nawo ni wakola emirimo alala aeniki woona waawanga awanawi awa amaeema kiomo iye.* 4 Owuire owua *Sabato ki Sabato, Paulo yagamba-gamba ino na Awayaudi na awantu awatari Awayaudi mu *esinagoogi na awiiyemba mbwe waganye ku Yesu *Kristo.

5 Olwa Siila ni Timotheeo waaema Makedoonia, waatuukra Paulo Korintho. Paulo yatoola enyinga enyingi na alanzizia Awayaudi mbwe Yesu nio Kristo.* 6 No olwa waamulowa kandi watanika okumugamba-gambako uwiiwi, Paulo yakukumula egunduusi eya ku enguwo yaae na awalaga otino, “Inze miire emirimo giange! Ni mutanunuulwe, amasaai giinyu gawe ku emitwe giinyu! Inze okuemera reero ngia okulanzizia awatari Awayaudi amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda!”*

7 Nikuemao Paulo yafuma mu esinagoogi agia mu enyumba eya Tiito Yastaasi, eyawanga ampi ne esinagoogi ao. Tiito yawanga omuntu osawa Katonda. 8 Krispaasi owawanga omukangasi owa esinagoogi eyo, na awa mu enyumba yaae woona alala na Awakorintho wandi awangi waaganya ku *Omwami Yesu wabatiiswa.*

9 Owuire wulala Omwami Yesu yafumira Paulo mu owusasuko ni Paulo agona mala amulaga otino, “Otatia!

Lwona ndi na awantu awangi ku omugizi guno.”* 11 Kutio Paulo yawa ku omugizi ogwo ku omwaka omulala ne emienzi mukaaga, na agerera amangʼana aga Katonda agati yaawu.

12 Mu amiire aga Galio yawanga omukangasi owa ekialo ekia Akaaya, Awayaudi waaizoganra Paulo wamuamba wamuira ku oluwuga olwa ekiina wamuingirra watino, 13 “Omuntu ono avuwa awantu kugere wasawe Katonda mu engira etalondokana ne endagirra ziifu.”* 14 No olwa Paulo yawanga na aagala okutanika okugamba-gamba otino, Galio yalaga Awayaudi awo otino, “Muwurre, kuweeko mbwe inywe Awayaudi muiriizizienga omuntu ono ku okukola ekintu ekiwiiwi namba okuona ensikirra, kukaweere kulootu kandi nkawategereezie. 15 Ni gano na amangʼana aga okutawurizania agati iinyu ku amangʼana, amiina ne endagirra ziinyu aweene. Kutio mugamale aweene, inze ngʼanyiza okugaingiramo yawa.”* 16 Kutio yawasomosia mu oluwuga lwae. 17 Awayaudi awo waagalukira Sositheneesi owawanga omukangasi owa esinagoogi watanika okumukuba emberi wa Galio. Ni kino ngakika-amba Galio.

Paulo airaane Antioki

18 Paulo yawa Korintho na Awakristo ku amiire amangi nikwo awareka awunguka agia ni Preskiila na Akwila mu ekialo ekia Siiria. Olwa waatuuka Senkereeya, Paulo yawega emvwiri* ziae okutuusia okuifuuwa okwa yawanga na aifuuwre. 19 Waatuuka Efeeso aa Paulo yareka Preskiila na Akwila, agia mu esinagoogi aa yalwanagana na Awayaudi ku amangʼana aga Yesu Kristo. 20 Olwa Awayaudi awo waamusawa mbwe akole okuwa nawo ku amiire gandi, Paulo yalowa. 21 No olwa yafumanga, yawalaga otino, “Ni Katonda aganyire nyiza okuirana.” Nikuemao, yawunguka aema Efeeso.*

22 Olwa waagowa Kaisaria, yafuma agia Yerusaleemu akeezia Awakristo nikwo aika Antioki. 23 Ni yamala okumala amiire agasugre Antioki, Paulo yafuma agia mu ewitemo wiona ewia mu ewialo ewia Galatia ni Firiigia na a-ambia awalonzi amaani.*

Apolo ari mu ekialo ekia Efeeso

24 Mu amiire ago, Omuyaudi wundi oetwa mbwe Apolo, omuiwulane owa Aleksanda, yaaza Efeeso. Yawanga omugambageeza kandi omuntu omanyire amangʼana agari mu endagano eya Katonda geeza ino.* 25 Yawanga na agereerwe engira eya Omwami geeza, kutio yalanzia owueru owuri ku Yesu no owusiani ino mu engira ewurikaane, kandi na ateereko omwoyo gwae gwona. Kukawa kutio, yawanga na amanyire mala *owubatiiso owua Yowaana yagerera wuengʼene.* 26 Olwa Preskiila na Akwila waawurra Apolo na agerera amangʼana aga Katonda no owusiani mu esinagoogi, waamutoola wagia nae omwawu wagia kandi wamusongerezia okumanya engira eya Katonda geeza okukira kiomo yawanga na amanyire.* 27 Olwa Apolo yagalanga okugia Akaaya, Awakristo waamuambia amaani kandi waajojera Awakristo awiina waawu awa Akaaya ebaruwa, kugere waganye wamuingizie. Olwa yatuuka, yatunzia ino awantu awaaganya ku amangʼana aga Katonda ku owusiza wuae. 28 Yavuna Awayaudi mu amangʼana emberi wa awantu na akola ne endagano okulagana kuwuene mbwe Yesu nio *Meesia.*

Paulo ari mu ekialo ekia Efeeso

1 Na Apolo yawanga na akiari Korintho, Paulo yalonda ewitemo ewia engulu na agia Efeeso. Olwa yatuuka, yatuukra eyo awalonzi wandi. 2 Paulo yawawuuzia otino, “Olwa mwaganya, mberi mwatuukra *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda?” Waamuirania watino, “Ifwe tukiari namba okuwurra mbwe kirio ekintu ekietwa mbwe Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.”*

3 Kutio Paulo yawawuuzia otino, “Kane mwatuukra owubatiisooki?” Waamulaga watino, “Ifwe twatuukra *owubatiiso owua Yowaana yagerera.”

4 Paulo yawalaga otino, “Owubatiiso owua Yowaana yagerera wuawanga owua okugalusia emioyo okureka amawi. Yowaana yagalanga mbwe awantu waganye ku omuntu owaemanga enyima waae. Omuntu ono ni Yesu *Kristo.”* 5 Olwa waawurra otio, woona waabatiiswa ku eriina eria Yesu Kristo. 6 Nikuemao Paulo yata amakono gaae ku emitwe giawu kandi Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yawaazako mala watanika okugamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni kandi waawoola amangʼana agaawaemera ku Katonda.* 7 Ku awantu awo, awasaaza waaesanga okutuuka ikumi ni wawiri.

8 Paulo 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.* 9 No 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.* 10 Paulo yawalanzizia otio ku emiaka iwiri nawuno Awayaudi na awatari Awayaudi woona awari mu ekialo ekia *Eesia waawurra amangʼana aga Katonda.

11 Katonda yakola amankono agaluguulwa okuwitra ku Paulo. 12 Ewitambaaya namba ewiraka ewia Paulo yawanga na akorre nawio ni wiairrwanga awalwire, awalwire awo waalamanga kandi *ewikeeno wiawafumangako.*

Ekikeeno kimanyire Awakristo awa kuwuene

13 Wario 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.”* 14 Awazia musamvu awa Sekeewa, Omukangasi owa *awoozia awa Awayaudi, waakolanga ekintu ekio. 15 Ni nyanga ekikeeno kiawairania kitino, “Yesu tumumanyire, Paulo oona tumanyire. Ni inywe muri waawu anu?”* 16 Omuntu 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.

Awantu awangi wagaluuke waganyire ku Yesu

17 Olwa awantu woona awamenyere Efeeso, Awayaudi na Awagiriiki, waawurra amangʼana ago, owuti wuawa-amba ino kandi eriina eria Omwami Yesu riaeewua owuti ino. 18 Awantu awangi waaganya ku Yesu, waaganya amawi gaawu emberi wa awantu kandi waawoola ne eminwa giawu aweene ewintu ewiwiiwi ewia waakolanga owuiwisi. 19 Awantu 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. 20 Mu engira eno, amangʼana aga Katonda gaasonga okuilanzia na amaani ino.*

21 Ni wino wiona wiamala okuikola, Paulo yakenga mu omwoyo mbwe awitre Makedoonia na Akaaya na agia Yerusaleemu. Kandi mbwe na aema Yerusaleemu, paka agie Rooma.* 22 Kutio yatuma Timotheeo ne Erasto, awandi ku awantu awaamutunzianga emirimo mbwe wakangate wagie Makedoonia, iye na akiasigaaleko wutono mu ekialo ekia Eesia.*

Emidambo egia-amba awatumwa mu ekialo ekia Efeeso

23 Mu iwaga erio, erioga riafuma Efeeso inene ino ku amangʼana aga okulonda engira eya Omwami Yesu Kristo.* 24 Omuntu wundi owaetwanga mbwe Demetriasi omutuzi owa efeedha, yareetranga awemirimo waae amasendi amangi ino mu emirimo egia okulonga emifwano egia *ekaalu eya *Ateemi, katonda ensaasa. 25 Kutio 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. 26 Ni 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.* 27 Kutio 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.”

28 Olwa awantu awo waawurra amangʼana ago, enda ziawu ziayia ino kandi waatanika okukuba erioga ni watondowola Ateemi watino, “Ateemi owa Awaefeeso ari omukaate!” 29 Erioga riafuma eriaizula omugizi du. Ni kukiari, awantu awo waavwamira Gaayo na Aristakuusi Awamakedoonia awaagenda-gendanga ni Paulo, wawakulula ni wawaira mu enyumba eya okuikumia.* 30 Paulo yagalanga okugia okugamba-gamba nawo, na Awakristo awaawanga ao waamugaania. 31 Awandi ku awakangasi awa ekitemo awaawanga awiiko waae, woona wamutumra *omutumwa ni wamuisasaama mbwe ataaza yagia mu okuikumia okwo.

32 Ni 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. 33 Awayaudi wandi waasindika omuntu oetwa mbwe Aleksanda emberi wa awantu kugere agambe-gambe nawo. Kutio Aleksanda yaoreezia awantu na amakono gaae mbwe wasarigire. 34 No 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!”

35 Owutuukre, 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? 36 Kutio, aeniki mumanyire mbwe kuri kutio kandi awulao olowa, musugaane musarigire kandi mutaazakana okukola ekintu ekiwiiwi. 37 Awantu awawiri awamureetere emberi ano wano, ngawakaiwa ekintu-ukintu mu ekaalu namba ngawakanyega katonda ziifu. 38 Kutio, ni Demetriasi na awiina waae wari ne eminyako-nyaako no omuntu-umuntu, awakengi awa ekiina wario, wagie wawaingirre eyo. 39 Ni ni kirio ekintu kindi ekia muagala, paka mukiire mu ekiina kiomo endagirra ziifu ziagala. 40 Ni kiomo turi nyingeeno tutino, tuita mu olugoe, aeniki tuuza twaingirrwa mbwe ni ifwe awareetere erioga ano, ni tuwula ne ekia tukawoola.” 41 Ni yamala okuwoola otio, yalaga awantu woona mbwe watanyike wagie mu emigizi giawu.

Paulo na awalonzi wagiire Makedoonia ne Ewugiriiki

1 Ne erioga riamala okuwua, Paulo yaeta awalonzi okuwakubra ekurinde. Yawa-ambia amaani nikwo afuma na agia Makedoonia.* 2 Yagenda-genda mu ekialo ekia Makedoonia kiona na a-ambia Awakristo awa eyo amaani nawuno yagia atuuka Ewugiriiki 3 aa yamala emienzi isatu. Yaagalanga okuwunguka okugia Siiria, no olwa yawurra mbwe *Awayaudi waawarra engira eya okumuitra ku engira, yawona mbwe airane agie awitre Makedoonia. 4 Awantu awaagia ni Paulo ni Sopaata omuzia owa Pairuusi Omuberea, Aristakuusi ni Sekudiisi Awathesaloniika, Gaayo Omudeebe, Timotheeo, Tichikaasi alala ni Trofimaasi, awaaemanga *Eesia.* 5 Awantu wano waakangata wagia waturinda Troowa. 6 Olwa *omugomo ogwa Omukaati oguwulamo amamera gwawua, twa-ambukra Filiipi tugia Troowa. Kwatutoola amiire ataanu okutuuka Troowa aa twamalao amiire musamvu.

Paulo aziuusie Yutikaasi

7 Igulo nyanga olwa omudiira ogwa okuwiri, ifwe twena twaikumia alala okuria omukaati. Nikulondokana no okuagala okwa Paulo okwa okufuma mu ekialo ekio owuire owualondangako, yagamba-gambra awantu na awa-ambia amaani nawuno kutuuka owuire agati.* 8-9 Yawangao omuzia wundi owaetwanga mbwe Yutikaasi. Omuzia ono yawanga na aikaale ku ediriisa kandi ewimuri wiaemanga ewingi mu enyumba omwo. Kiomo Paulo yagia emberi okugamba-gamba, nintio endoolo ziaira omuzia ono. Owutuukre omuzia ono yaaguka ku ediriisa agwa ansi na aema ku goroofa eya okusatu aa twawanga, agia atuukrwa na afwire. 10 Paulo yagia amugwako amukunaania mu amakono gaae nikwo alaga awantu otino, “Mutatia, ari omulamu.”* 11 Nikuemao, Paulo yairana mu enyumba agia agenyula omukaati waria. Yagia emberi okugamba-gambra awantu nawuno owuire wuakia, nikwo afuma na agia. 12 Awantu awo waatoola omuzia oyo waira engo na ari omulamu kandi emioyo giawu ni giri emisangaavu ino.

Paulo akubiire awagaaka awa ekaniisa eya Efeeso ekurinde

13 Ifwe twakangatra Paulo, tuwalama no owuato tugia Asoosi aa twagianga okumutoorra, aeniki iye yawita engulu na amagulu. 14 Kandi olwa yatutuukako, twawunguka nae tugia Mitileene. 15 Enkio walwo twasiawala tutuuka mu owuziwa owua Mitileene tugia ku ekizinga ekia Kiosi. Owuire owualondako twa-ambuka tugia ku ekizinga ekia Samoosi. Nikuemao twarumuka owuire wulala tutuuka Miletaasi. 16 Paulo yakenga okutagia ku omugizi ogwa Efeeso, aeniki ngakaagalanga okuona enyinga enyingi mu ekialo ekia Eesia. Yaagalanga mbwe ni kuesekana atuuke Yerusaleemu mu omugomo ogwa *Pendekosti.

17 Paulo yalagirra *awagaaka awa Awakristo awa Efeeso mbwe waaze waagaane nae ku omwalo ogwa Miletaasi.* 18 Olwa waaza, yawalaga otino, “Inywe aweene mumanyire geeza kiomo miire okuwa ni menyere agati iinyu okuemera owuire owua nyaaza Eesia eno, kutuuka reero.* 19 Miire okukorra Katonda no omwoyo gwange gwona, na amaziga kandi ni nyiisiizie ansi, namba mu okugeezaniwua na Awayaudi awamiire okuweerako ni wanyiibongʼa okunyita. 20 Ngʼanyakareka okuwalaga ekintu-ukintu ekiaesanga okuwatunzia, ni miire okuwa ni mbagerera mu amayumba giinyu namba enze emberi wa awantu. 21 Nyamiire okuwa ni ndaga Awayaudi na awatari Awayaudi mbwe paka wagaluke wareke amawi gaawu wairane ku Katonda kandi wawe no okuganya ku *Omwami iifu Yesu *Kristo.* 22 Katio nyingeeno ku okuagala okwa *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, mfumre ngia Yerusaleemu. Ni ngʼamanyire ekigia okunyiikorra eyo. 23 Ekia manyire ni mbwe Omwoyo Omweru amiire okuwa na ansiagizia ku omugizi ki omugizi ogwa miire okuwitamo mbwe eminyako-nyaako no okuteewua mu owusiwe nigio eginindirra eyo.* 24 Ni kukawa kutio, inze owulamu wuange ngawuri ekintu ku inze. Ekineene ekia nyagala, no okutuusia owutumwa owua Omwami yampa, emirimo egia okulanzia amangʼana amalootu aga owusiza owua Katonda.*

25 “Manyire mbwe awulao omuntu ku inywe awantu awammiire okulanzizia amangʼana aga *Owuami owua Katonda, ooza okumbona kandi.* 26 Kutio reero nyiisaawa, aa na ario omuntu oriteeka, amasaai gaae gambulako,* 27 aeniki kiwulao ekintu ekia nyawawisa, ni nyawalaga okuagala okwa Katonda kwona. 28 Kutio muirinde inywe aweene alala na awantu woona awa Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda amiire okuta mu amakono giinyu.

32 “Katio reero mbata mu amakono aga Katonda ni ku amangʼana aga owusiza wuae.

36 Olwa Paulo yamala okuwoola amangʼana ago, yakuba amasigamo ansi alala na awagaaka awo, wasawa. 37 Woona warra ni wamukunaanie ni wamunuuna ni wamukubra ekurinde, 38 aeniki owululu wuawa-amba ino ku okuwoola okwa yawoola mbwe ngawarimuwona kandi. Kutio waagia nae nawuno wamutuusia ku owuato.*

Olugendo olwa Paulo okugia Yerusaleemu

1 Olwa twamala okurekana nawo, twawunguka tugia ku ekizinga ekietwa mbwe Koosi. Enkio walwo, twawunguka tugia Rodeesi, nikuemao tugia Pataara. 2 Ao twatuukrao owuato owugia Foeniisia owua twaniina tugia. 3 Olwa twafumia ekizinga ekia Saipraasi emberi iifu, twawisia okukiwitra nyamulambo ni tuwariire Siiria. Twagowa Taaya aa emisigo giagianga okusiulwa. 4 Twatuukra eyo Awakristo wandi, awa twawa nawo ku omudiira mulala. Awakristo awo waagania Paulo ku amaani aga *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda mbwe atagia Yerusaleemu.* 5 Olwa amiire giifu aga okuweera eyo gaawua, twafuma tugia emberi no olugendo lwifu. Awakristo woona awasaaza ku awakazi na awaana waawu waatufumia enze eya omugizi gwawu. Ni tukiari okurekana, twona twakuba ansi amasigamo, ku ensanyaata eya omwalo, tusawa Katonda nikwo tukubana ekurinde.* 6 Nikuemao twaingira mu owuato, iwo wairana mu emigizi giawu.

7 Okuemera Taaya twarumuka nawuno tugowa Tolemaasi aa twaongera ni tuwonana na Awakristo awiina wiifu awa eyo. 8 Olwa wuakia, twa-ambuka tugia Kaisaria. Ano twagia mu enyumba eya Piliipo omuyaazi owawanga omulala ku awantu awaaloworrwa emirimo egia okugawa okuria.* 9 Yawanga na awaala wane awagima. Awaala wano Katonda yawanga na awaeere amaani aga owugambi owua amangʼana gaae.*

10 Lunyima ni twawanga ni tumiire okumala amiire agasugre omwae omwo, *omugambi wundi owa Katonda oetwa mbwe Agaabo yatuuzako na aema Yudeea.* 11 Yatoola omukanda ogwa Paulo, aisiwa amagulu na amakono, mala awoola otino, “Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda awoola otino, ‘Kiomo nyiisiwre otino, nintio *Awayaudi awari Yerusaleemu wagia okusiwa omwene omukanda guno. Kandi waaza okumutoola wamute mu amakono aga awantu awatari Awayaudi.’ ”*

12 Olwa twawurra ekia omugambi oyo yawoola, ifwe alala na awantu awaawanga ao twaisasaama Paulo mbwe atagia Yerusaleemu. 13 Ni Paulo yatuirania otino, “Ekia mukola ekio katio niki? Mberi mumanyire mbwe ni murra mutio munyita omwoyo? Aeniki ngʼanyiikagre okusiwua kwengʼene, ni nyiikagre namba okufwa Yerusaleemu ku eriina eria *Omwami Yesu *Kristo. Kutio mureke okurra.”* 14 Olwa twawona no omwoyo gwae guri omukalu ku ewintu ewia twamulaganga, twarekana nae ni tuwoola mbwe okuagala okwa Katonda kuwe mbwe nikwo okuikola.

Paulo atuukre Yerusaleemu

15 Ni twamala okuwa ao ku amiire agasugre, twafuma tutaao ni tugia Yerusaleemu. 16 Twagia na Awakristo wandi woona awa ku omugizi ogwa Kaisaria, awaatuira mu enyumba eya Nasooni Omusaipraasi eya twagianga okumenyamo. Nasooni yawanga omulala ku Awakristo awakulu. 17 Olwa twatuuka Yerusaleemu, Awakristo awiina wiifu, waatuingizia no owusangaavu ino. 18 Enkio walwo, twagia ni Paulo okuwona Yakoobo. *Awagaaka awa Awakristo awa Yerusaleemu woona waawanga omwa Yakoobo omwo.* 19 Paulo yawakeezia nikwo yawalaga ewintu wiona ewia Katonda yakorra awatari Awayaudi ni kuwitra ku iye.*

20 Olwa waawurra amangʼana ago, watondowola Katonda ino. Nikuemao waalaga Paulo watino, “Wurra! Kukawa mbwe Awayaudi awangi wamiire okuganya ku amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda, ni wakiaingirizia mbwe paka wakole kiomo endagirra ezia Muusa ziagala. 21 Awantu wandi waaza ano awaawalaga mbwe iwue ogerera Awayaudi awamenyere mu ewialo windi mbwe warekane ne endagirra ezia Muusa. Kandi mbwe owalaga mbwe wataira awaana waawu *enyangu nakuwa okulondokana ne enkola ezia waaguukwa wiifu.* 22 Katio tukole tutie aeniki waaza okuwurra mbwe omiire okuuza ori ano? 23 Kutio kola ekia tuuza okukulaga. Turi ano na awantu wane awamiire okutaao endagano. 24 Gia nawo alala mugie mukole omusango ogwa okuieruyia kandi owaoloorre ewiagalwa kugere emitwe giawu giwegwe.* Nikuemao awantu waaza okumanya mbwe ewia wawoolwako wiawanga ewia owuweeyi aeniki olonda endagirra ziifu.* 25 Ni ku Awakristo awatari Awayaudi, tumiire okuwa-aa ebaruwa ewalaga mbwe wataria okuria okukoriirwe katonda ensaasa emisango, lwona watanywa amasaai, wataria enyama eya emiandu egigogerwe kandi mbwe watasooda.”*

26 Enkio walwo Paulo yagia na awantu wane awo agia aieruyia alala nawo nikwo aingira mu *ekaalu alaga awantu owuire owua amiire aga okuiyeruzia kwawu kuriwuera, nyanga olwa omuntu ki omuntu arikorrwa omusango.*

Paulo a-ambrwe mu ekaalu

27 Na amiire musamvu aga okuieruyia gaawanga ampi okuwua, wario Awayaudi wandi awa mu ekialo ekia *Eesia awaawona Paulo mu ekaalu. Waasiiga awantu wa-amba Paulo 28 ni waogerera watino, “Awiifu mututunzie! Omuntu ono amiire okuwa na agamba-gamba uwiiwi ino ku Awayaudi, ni ku endagirra ezia Muusa, lwona ni ku ekaalu eno asi-uasi aa agiire. Ngʼane ekio kiengʼene, ni nyingeeno kandi areetre namba awantu wandi awatari Awayaudi mu olwanyi olwa ekaalu. Ao na mpao amwamiizie ekaalu enzeru eno?”* 29 (Awayaudi awo waawoola otio ni waingirizia mbwe Paulo aingiire ni Trofimaasi Omuefeeso mu olwanyi olwa ekaalu aeniki waawanga ni wawuine Paulo na agenda-genda nae ku omugizi ogwo.)*

30 Erioga riaizula omugizi ogwo du! Kandi awantu waasomoka ni waema eno ne eno wagia wa-amba Paulo. Waamukulula wamufumia enze eya ekaalu, ewikulo wiigalwao. 31 Amangʼana gareke okugiira omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye awa Awaruumi wuangu mbwe erioga riri Yerusaleemu, wakaitre Paulo. 32 Aeniki waareka okukuba Paulo mala olwa waawona omukangasi owa awa-iiye omunene na awakangasi wandi alala na awa-iiye ni wawaazako.

33 Omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye yaaza a-amba Paulo, kandi alaga awa-iiye waae mbwe wamusiwe ne eminyororo. Nikuemao yawuuzia otino, “Ono naanu? Ne ekia akorre niki?” 34 Awantu awo waamuirania owugawuke-gawuuke. Awandi waaogereranga ni wawoola kino, na awandi wawoola ekindi ekisaasa. Erioga eriawanga ao rialowera omukangasi owa awa-iiye okutuukra owuene owua amangʼana. Kutio yalaga awa-iiye waae mbwe watoole Paulo waire mu ekambi yaawu. 35 Olwa Paulo yatuuka ku entambuko ezia ekiriango ekia ekambi eya awa-iiye, kwanigirizia awa-iiye awo okumuginga aeniki omurima ogwawanga ao gwareeta erioga ino. 36 Awantu awaalondanga waawu Paulo awo waakubanga erioga ni wawoola watino, “Ka-afwe ngatumuagala! Ka-afwe, ngatumuagala.”*

Paulo agamba-gamba na awaagalanga okumuita

37 Olwa awa-iiye awo waawanga a-ampi okuingizia Paulo mu ekambi yaawu, Paulo yasawa omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye iwaga eria okumulaga ekintu.

Omukangasi oyo yamuirania otino, “Kane omanyire Olugiriiki? 38 Iwue ngʼani iwue Omumisiri owa amiire gandi yavumbula iye no owukangasi owua Awaruumi mala atoola awalwani elufu wine agia nawo mu ekeewa?”*

39 Paulo yamuirania otino, “Yaaya, inze ndi Omuyaudi owaiwulwa Taaso, omugizi omunene ogumanyiike mu ekialo ekia Siliisia. Nkuiyembere, ganya oreke ngambe-gambeko na awantu wano.”

40 Olwa omukangasi owa awa-iiye yamala okumuganyira, Paulo yaidengʼa ku entambuko eziwariire mu ekambi asarigizia awantu na amakono. Ni waamala okusarigira woona, yagamba-gamba nawo mu omunwa gwawu ogwa Awayaudi na awalaga otino:

22

1 “*Awagaaka ni waamwifu, mbasawa mbwe musarigire mbalage ekintu ekia ndi.” 2 Olwa waawurra na awagamba-gambra mu Oluibrania, waasarigira kiri. Kutio Paulo yagia emberi na awoola otino, 3 “Inze ndi *Omuyaudi. Nyaiwulwa Taaso mu ekialo ekia Siliisia, ni nyakomera Yerusaleemu ano mu amakono aga *Gamalieli na angerera mu endagirra ezia waaguukwa wiifu. Nyakola emirimo egia Katonda na amaani gange goona kiomo muwona reero mukola mutino.* 4 Nyanyaasia awantu awaawanga ni walonda engira eya *Kristo eno, kandi nyagera wafwa. Nya-ambanga awasaaza alala na awakazi ni mbaira mu owusiwe. 5 Kuwuene Omukangasi owa *awoozia alala na awakengi awa ekiina waesa wawalaga, aeniki niwo awampanga ebaruwa okuirra awiina waawu awari Damaskaasi. Kutio nyagianga eyo ni nyamba awantu wano ni mbasiwa ne eminyororo kandi ni mbareeta Yerusaleemu okuswawukwa.*

6 “Owuire wulala ni nyawanga ni ndi ampi okutuuka ku omugizi ogwa Damaskaasi, mu enyinga eya mukaaga omuwasu, nyaizukra idangaala erieru zerre ni riemera ku igulu ni rimmurika. 7 Nyagwa ansi amafunikira, nikuemao nyawurra omwoyo ni gunyeta kandi ni gundaga otino, ‘Saulo! Saulo! Ekigera no ondambiizie wululu otio niki?’* 8 Nyamuwuuzia ntino, ‘Ni iwue anu owa ndambiizie?’ Yanyirania otino, ‘Ni inze Yesu Omunazareeti owa odambiizie wululu.’ 9 Awantu awanyawanga nawo waawona owueru owuo ni ngawakawurra ekia omwoyo ogwo gwawoola.

10 “Nyamuwuuzia ntino, ‘Omwami ekia nsugaane nkole niki?’ Omwami yanyirania otino, ‘Ema ogie Damaskaasi aa ogia okulagwa ewintu wiona ewia omiire okuteerwao okuuza okukola.’ 11 Awantu awa nyawanga nawo, waa-mpamba okukono waanyira Damaskaasi, aeniki owueru owuaema ku igulu owuo wuantangaazia amiiso wundeka omuwuunu.

12 “Yawangao omuntu oetwa mbwe Ananiasi. Yawanga omuntu oeere Katonda owuti ino kandi oambre endagirra ziifu. Kutio Awayaudi awamenyere Damaskaasi woona waamugamba-gambangako geeza. 13 Yaaza aimerra ampi ni inze nikuemao andaga otino, ‘Wamwifu Saulo, wona kandi!’ Amiiso gange gaiguka kalala kandi muwona.

14 “Nikuemao yandaga otino, ‘Katonda owa waasoifu waasawanga amiire okukulowola kugere omanye okuagala kwae kandi owone Omulowole waae Omweru otuukre kandi owurre amangʼana gaae na amatwi gaao.* 15 Ooza okuwa no olaga awantu amangʼana goona aga owuine na aga owuriire ku iye. 16 Kutio kiwulao ekintu kindi kandi ekia okiarindirra, ni ema obatiiswe kugere oeruyiwue ku amawi gaao goona no oeta eriina eria *Omwami Yesu.’**

17 “Lunyima ni miire okuirana Yerusaleemu ni nyasawanga mu *ekaalu, nyawona owusasuko.* 18 Mu owusasuko owuo, nyawona Omwami na andaga otino, ‘Fuma Yerusaleemu wuangu-wuangu aeniki awantu wano ngawaaza okuganya ku ewintu ewia ooza okuwoola mbwe owuine kandi omanyire ku inze.’

19 “Inze nyamuirania ntino, ‘Omwami, awantu wano woona wamanyire geeza mbwe inze nio omuntu owagianga mu amasinagoogi ni nyamba kandi ni nkuba awantu awaganyire ku amangʼana gaao. 20 Lwona olwa Stefaano, owemirimo waao yaitwanga, nyawangao kandi nyaganya no okuitwa kwae, aa ni inze owa enguwo ezia awaamuita ziateewua mu amagulu gange.’* 21 Omwami yandaga otino, ‘Iwue fuma ogie, aeniki nyiza okuira aliire mu ewialo ewia awantu awatari Awayaudi.’ ”*

22 Awantu waawanga ni wamutegerezia ni wasarigiire kiri. No olwa yawoola amangʼana aga okugia ku awantu awatari Awayaudi, waatanika okukuba erioga wukalu ino ni wawoola watino, “Mumuite! Mumuite! Afwe aemeo! Ngʼasugaane okuwa omulamu!”*

23 Waagia emberi ni wakuba erioga lwona ni watandula enguwo ziawu ni wazirigiza kungulu kandi ni wagunduusia egunduusi yoona. 24 Olwa omukangasi owa awa-iiye yawona otio, yalaga awa-iiye waae mbwe watoole Paulo waire mu ekambi aa wamenyere kandi wamuswawuke enkowa kugere awalage ekigera na awantu wamukubra erioga otio. 25 No olwa waawanga ni wamiire okumusiwa geeza kugere amuswawuke, Paulo yawuuzia omukangasi owa awa-iiye wundi owawanga na aimeriire ampi nae otino, “Endagirra iifu ngewoola mbwe kuwiiwi okuswawuka Omuruumi no owuoni wuae wukiari okutuukrwa?”*

26 Olwa omukangasi owa awa-iiye oyo yawurra otio, yagia ku omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye amuwuuzia otino “Oagala okukolaki kino? Omuntu oria no Omuruumi.”

27 Kutio omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye yagia ku Paulo amuwuuzia otino, “Mbwe ori Omuruumi?” Paulo yamuirania otino, “Ee nintio.” 28 Omukangasi omunene oyo yamulaga otino, “Inze nyaoloola amasendi amangi kugere mbe Omuruumi. Ni iwue?”

Paulo yamulaga mbwe, “Inze ndi Omuruumi ku okuiwulwa.”

29 Awa-iiye awaagianga okuwuuzia Paulo amangʼana waafuma waema ao. Olwa omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye yatuukra mbwe Paulo yawanga Omuruumi, owuti wuamuamba ino aeniki yawanga na asiwre Omuruumi omwina waae.

Paulo airrwe ku oluwuga olwa awakengi awa ekiina

30 Enkio walwo omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye yasiwula Paulo mala alagirra Omukangasi owa awoozia alala na awagaaka awa ekiina waikumie kugere areete Paulo emberi waawu aeniki yagalanga okumanya ekiagera ni waaingirra Paulo. Ni waamala okuikumia, yareeta Paulo emberi waawu.

1 Paulo yawarra *awagaaka awa ekiina mu amiiso tiiri mala awoola otino, “Waamwifu, inze omwene ngʼambona no omwoyo gwange gunkengera ekiina ku ewintu wiona ewia miire okuwa ni nkola emberi wa Katonda nawuno reero.”* 2 Olwa Omukangasi owa *awoozia oetwa mbwe Ananiasi yawurra otio, yalaga awantu awaawanga ni waimeriire ampi ni Paulo mbwe wamukube oluyu ku omunwa. 3 Paulo yalaga Ananiasi otino, “Iwue omuntu ofwana ne enzizi ewakrwe ne erangi enzeru ono, Katonda aaza okukuswawuka ino; aeniki oikaale ao okunkengera ekiina nikulondokana ne endagirra, ni kandi iwue oona endagirra ku okulaga awantu wano mbwe wankube.”* 4 Awantu awaawanga ni waimeriire ampi nae waamuwuuzia watino, “Owuo onyega Omukangasi owa awoozia, *omukurumu owa Katonda?”

5 Paulo yawairania otino, “Awiifu, ngʼankawanga ni manyire mbwe ono nio Omukangasi owa awoozia aeniki kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe, ‘Mutaaza mwagamba-gamba uwiiwi ku awakangasi awa awantu wiinyu.’† ”

6 Olwa Paulo yawona mbwe ku awantu awaawanga ao awandi ku iwo waawanga *Awasadukaayo na awandi waawanga *Awafarisaayo, yawoola mu oluwuga no omwoyo ogwa kungulu otino, “Awiifu, inze ndi Omufarisaayo kandi omuzia owa Omufarisaayo. Inze ekigera ni ndeetrwe emberi wiinyu ano no okuganya okwa nganyire mbwe awafu waaza okuziuka.”* 7 Olwa yamala okuwoola otio, erioga riatanika agati eya Awafarisaayo na Awasadukaayo. Kutio awagaaka awa ekiina waagawukana. 8 (Awasadukaayo iwo wawoola mbwe kuwulao okuziuka okwa awafu kandi mbwe *ewikeeno nakuwa *enyankoi ziwulao. Na Awafarisaayo iwo, waaganya mbwe ewintu wisatu ewio wiona wirio. Ekio nikio ekintu ekiareeta erioga.)* 9 Erioga agati ya Awafarisaayo na Awasadukaayo riawa inene ino. *Awagerezi awa endagirra nyaluwega olwa Awafarisaayo waawoola watino, “Ifwe ngatuwona owuoni owua omuntu ono. Mukamanya mutie? Andi enyankoi nakuwa *Omwoyo Omweru nio omiire okumulaga ewintu ewia awoola ewio.”

10 Olwa omukangasi owa awa-iiye yawona amangʼana agati ya Awafarisaayo na Awasadukaayo ni gagia okuwa amawiiwi, yalaga awa-iiye waae mbwe wagie watoole Paulo agati yaawu wamuingizie mu enyumba eya awa-iiye aeniki yatianga mbwe awantu awo waaza waita Paulo.

11 Nyanga olwo owuire, Katonda yalaga Paulo otino, “Otatia aeniki kiomo omiire okulaga awantu amangʼana gange Yerusaleemu, nintio paka ogie okole Rooma oona.”*

Awayaudi wagala okuita Paulo

12 Olwa owuire wuakia, *Awayaudi wandi waifuuwa ni wawoola mbwe ngawaaza okuria namba okunywa ekintu-ukintu ni wakiari okuita Paulo.* 13 Awantu wano waawanga awantu awakakira amakumi ane. 14 Waagia ku awakangasi awa awoozia ni ku awagaaka awa Awayaudi wawalaga watino, “Tumiire okuifuuwa mbwe ngatuuza okuria ekintu-ukintu ni tukiari okuita Paulo. 15 Kutio tuagala tutino: Mutumre omukangasi owa awa-iiye owutumwa mbwe awareetere Paulo mbwe muagala okutuukra owueru ku amangʼana aga awoola gano. Ni ifwe tuuza okumuibongʼa tumuite na akiari okutuuka ano.”

16 Olwa omwiwa owa Paulo owekizia yawurra amangʼana ago, yagia mu enyumba eya awa-iiye waawanga ni wamenyeremo alaga Paulo amangʼana aga yawurra ago. 17 Paulo yaeta omukangasi wundi owa awa-iiye amulaga otino, “Toola omuwuuka ono oire ku omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye. Kirio ekintu ekia agala okumulaga.”

18 Kutio omukangasi oyo yatoola omuwuuka oyo amuira ku omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye amulaga otino, “Omusiwe Paulo awerenga na anyetre. Olwa mugiireko, ansawire mbwe ndeete omuwuuka ono ku iwue aeniki ari ne ekintu ekia agala okukulaga.”

19 Omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye oyo yatoola omuwuuka oyo agia nae antulo nikwo amuwuuzia otino, “Niki ekia oagala okundaga?”

20 Omuwuuka oyo yamuirania otino, “Mberenga ni mpuriire na Awayaudi wawoola mbwe enkio warikusawa mbwe oire Paulo emberi wa awakengi awa ekiina mbwe wagala okutuukra owueru ku amangʼana aga awoola. 21 Ni nkugaania mbwe otawaganyira, aeniki wario awantu awakira amakumi ane, awamiire okuifuuwa okutaria kandi okutanywa ekintu-ukintu nawuno waite Paulo. Wamiire okuwurzania okuibongʼera Paulo ku engira kugere wamuvwamre wamuite na akiari okutuuka ku oluwuga. Iwo nyingeeno warindirra okuwurra ekikuemako.”

22 Kutio yalaga omuwuuka oyo otino, “Gia, no otaaza walaga omuntu mbwe ondagre ekintu kino.”

Paulo atoorrwe Yerusaleemu airrwe Kaisaria

23 Nikuemao omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye yaeta awakangasi wandi wawiri awa awa-iiye mala awalaga otino, “Mulowole awa-iiye mia wiwiri na awandi amakumi musamvu awalwanira ku efaraasi alala na awalwana na amafumo mia wiwiri nyagala okuwatuma Kaisaria reero enyinga isatu ezia owuire. 24 Nyagala mbwe mutuukirre Paulo oona efaraasi eya aaza okuniina, mumuire geeza ku Omwami Feliksi.” 25 Yajojera omwami ebaruwa ewoola mbwe:

26 “Ku omwami otiirwe Feliksi.

Nkukeeziizie ino.

27 Awayaudi izuuzi wa-amba omuntu ono kandi waagalanga okumuita. No olwa nyawurra mbwe ari Omuruumi, nyagia na awa-iiye wange mutoola mu amakono gaawu.* 28 Nikuemao nyawuine mbwe muire emberi wa awagaaka waawu kugere ntuukre owueru owua amangʼana.* 29 No olwa nkorre otio, ntuukiire mbwe kiwulao-uwula ekintu ekia akorre ekisugre asiwirwe namba aitirwe. Ni ntuukiire mbwe olusoolo lwawu luambaane ne endagirra ziawu aweene.* 30 Kutio olwa ndagrwe mbwe wario Awayaudi wandi awawarra engira eya wakamuitramo, mbwine mbwe mutume ku iwue wuangu-wuangu. Lwona ndagre awantu awamuingiriire mbwe waaze emberi waao kugere wawoole owuwi wuae. Ni inze Klaudiasi Liisia, omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye.”

31 Awa-iiye waakola ekintu ekia waalagwa. Waatoola Paulo owuire owuo wamuira nawuno waatuuka asi aetwa mbwe Antipatriisi. 32 Enkio walwo, awa-iiye awa ku amagulu waairana wareka awa-iiye awa ku efaraasi waagia emberi no olugendo. 33 Olwa waatuuka Kaisaria, waatoola ebaruwa wa-aa omwami kandi wata Paulo mu amakono gaae. 34 No omwami yamala okusoma ebaruwa eyo, yawuuzia Paulo ekialo ekia aemamo. Olwa Paulo yamulaga mbwe aema Siliisia, 35 yamulaga otino, “Nyiza okuwurra amangʼana gaao na awantu awakuingiriire wano wamiire okuuza.” Nikuemao, yasikirra awa-iiye waae mbwe waire Paulo mu enyumba eyaombokrwa *Eroode wamurinde geeza atateeka.

Awayaudi waingiriire Paulo ku Omwami Feliksi

1 Lunyima na amiire ataanu gaamala okuwita, Omukangasi omunene owa *awoozia, alala na *awagaaka wandi ku awagaaka awa *Awayaudi no omuyaazi owa ewiina oetwa mbwe Tetulaasi, waagia Kaisaria waingirra Paulo ku Omwami Feliksi.* 2 Olwa Tetulaasi yaeewua iwaga, yatanika okuingirra Paulo otino, “Omwami, owukangasi wuao owulootu wumiire okureetra ekialo kiifu kino owuolu ino kandi ni kuwita ku entewe yaao, ekialo kiifu kimiire okuwona okugawuka okulootu ku awiifu. 3 Turi no owusangaavu ino ne enkomana eya omiire okureeta mu ekialo kiifu kino kandi tukuikaziizie ino. 4 Ni ntatoorre enyinga ziao enyingi, nsawa mbwe kuwusiza wuao, oganye otegerezie amaziga giifu. Ngia okugawoola ku owuimpi. 5 Tumiire okutuukra mbwe omuntu ono ari omuntu omuwiiwi omukianyaanya. Amiire okuweerako na atanika erioga agati ya Awayaudi asi-uasi aa wamenyere mu ekialo kiona. Kandi nio omukangasi owa awantu awa ediini eya owuweeyi eya Awanazareeti.* 6 Twamutuukra na akola ewintu ewitasugaane ewimwamia *ekaalu, tumuamba. [Twagalanga okumukengera ekiina nikulondokana ne endagirra iifu,* 7 no omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye Liisia, yaaza na awa-iiye waae atumunyagula. 8 Nikuemao yasikirra awaamuingirra mbwe wakuuzeko.]* Manyire mbwe no omueere embuuzia geeza, omwene ooza okutuukra mbwe ewintu ewia tumuingiriire nawio wino wiona wiri kuwuene.” 9 Awayaudi wandi awaawanga ao woona waalonda omunwa ogwa Tetulaasi ogwo.

10 Olwa Paulo yaeewua iwaga, yatanika otino, “Omwami, manyire mbwe omiire okuwa omukengi owa ekiina ku emiaka emingi mu ekialo kiifu kino. Kutio ndi no owusangaavu okuitatirra emberi waao. 11 No owuuziizie, ooza okutuukra mbwe okuemera ngie Yerusaleemu kugere ngie nsawe Katonda mu ekaalu, amiire ikumi ni iwiri gakiari okuwua. 12 Awantu wano ngawakantuukra ni ngalusania amangʼana no omuntu-umuntu namba ni ntaniike erioga mu ekaalu nakuwa mu *esinagoogi namba asi-uasi ku omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu. 13 Lwona wawula ekintu-ukintu ekia waesa okuta emberi waao ekiesa okulagana mbwe ewintu ewia wamboolako wino wiri kuwuene. 14 Ekia ntaesa okulowa ne ekintu ekilala: Inze nsawa Katonda owa waaguukwa wiifu, ni ndonda engira eya Yesu eya iwo waeta mbwe ne ediini eya owuweeyi eya Awanazareeti eyo. Kandi mbula amangʼana ne ewintu wiona ewiri mu endagirra ezia Muusa alala ne ewintu wiona ewiajojwa na *Awagambi awa Katonda.* 15 Noona ndi no okurindirra okwa woona wari nakwo mbwe awafu woona wariziuka, wawe awantu aweeru namba awooni.* 16 Kutio, enyinga ziona inze nkola wukalu kugere ekintu kitaaza kiawaao ekinkengera ekiina mu omwoyo gwange emberi wa Katonda nakuwa emberi wa awiina wange.*

17 “Nyagia Yerusaleemu ni miire okuwa enze ku emiaka emingi, okuirra awiifu amasendi kandi okufumizia Katonda omusango.* 18 Ni ni nyawanga ni nkiagia emberi ni nkola wino, awantu wano wantuukra mu ekaalu. Okwo kwatuukra ni miire okumala omugomo ogwa okuieruyia. Ngawakantuukra no omurima ogwa awantu, lwona ngʼanyakareeta erioga. 19 Wario Awayaudi wandi awaaema mu ekialo ekia *Eesia awawanga ao, kandi woona wasugaane waaze emberi waao ano wanyingirre ni kirio ekintu ekiwiiwi ekia wakanyingirra nakio.* 20 Ni kutari kutio, kane awantu wano kawawooleko owuwi owua waantuukrako olwa nyairwa emberi wa awagaaka awa ekiina, 21 ekigawuuke ni ingʼana ilala eria nyawoola emberi wa awagaaka mbwe, ‘Nkengerwa ekiina reero ku okuganya kwange mbwe awafu waaza okuziuka.’ ”*

22 Nikuemao Omwami Feliksi owawanga na amanyire amangʼana aga engira eya Yesu *Kristo, yamala ekiina na awalaga otino, “Nyiza okuwalaga ekia miire okukenga ku amangʼana gano ni Liisia omukangasi omunene owa awa-iiye amiire okuuza.”* 23 Yalaga omukangasi owa awa-iiye owa Paulo yateewua mu amakono gaae mbwe amurinde geeza atateeka. Ni lwona yamulaga mbwe awe na arekerako Paulo iwaga enyinga zindi kugere awiiko waae wamutunzie mu engira-ungira eya wagonziizie.*

24 Lunyima na amiire gandi gaamala okuwita Feliksi ni mukaae oetwa mbwe Dosiila owawanga omwala owa Awayaudi yalagirra Paulo kandi waamutegerezia na agamba-gamba ku amangʼana aga okuwa no okuganya ku Yesu Kristo.* 25 Ni kiomo Paulo yagia emberi na agamba-gamba ku okuwa omuntu omuigolovu, ni kiomo omuntu aesa yairinda omwene alala no okuikagra owuire owunene owua ekiina owuuza, owuti wua-amba Feliksi mala amulaga otino, “Gia, nyanga ndiikweta kandi ni ntuukiire iwaga.”* 26 Yaingirizianga mbwe Paulo aaza yamu-aako ekintu kugere amulekule. Kutio yalagirra Paulo agie emberi waae owuire ki owuire ni wakuba entaka nae.

27 Lunyima emiaka iwiri ni giamala okuwua, Pokiasi Feesto yatoola entewe eya Omwami Feliksi. Ni ku okuagala okuwa omulootu emberi wa Awayaudi, Feliksi yareka Paulo mu owusiwe.*

Paulo asawire mbwe airwe ku Kaisaari

1 Omwami Feesto yagia Kaisaria okutoola owuami owua ekitemo ekio. Ni yamala okumala eyo amiire asatu, yagia Yerusaleemu. 2 Awakangasi awa *awoozia alala na *awagaaka awa Awayaudi waamugiako okuingirra Paulo,* 3 kandi ni wamusawa mbwe aganye awakorre geeza alagirre Paulo areetwe Yerusaleemu. Wagalanga otio aeniki waawanga ni wawisiizie okuibongʼera Paulo ku engira kugere wamuite.* 4 No Omwami Feesto yawairania otino, “Paulo asiwirwe Kaisaria, kandi inze omwene nyiza okugia eyo wuangu ano. 5 Kutio ni kuri mbwe yawakorra ekintu-ukintu ekiwiiwi awakangasi wiinyu kawaaze tugie nawo Kaisaria wagie wamuingirre eyo.”

6 Omwami Feesto yamala omudiira omulala ne enusu Yerusaleemu, nikuemao airana Kaisaria. Olwa yatuuka Kaisaria, enkio walwo yalagirra Paulo areetwe emberi waae mu olwanyi olwa okukenga ewiina. 7 Olwa Paulo yareetwa, *Awayaudi awaema Yerusaleemu waamuisunguuzia wamuta agati nikwo watanika okumuwoolako amangʼana amangi amazito, aga namba iwo aweene ngawakaesanga okulagana owueru wuago.*

8 Ni Paulo yalowa amangʼana ago na awoola otino, “Awiifu, inze kiwulao namba ekintu ekilala ekiwiiwi ekia miire okukola nikulondokana ne endagirra ziifu, lwona nkiari okugamba-gambako uwiiwi ku *ekaalu namba ku owuami owua Awaruumi nakatio.”

9 Ni ku okuagala okusangaazia Awayaudi, Omwami Feesto yawuuzia Paulo otino, “Mberi okagonzia okugia Yerusaleemu kugere ekiina kiao kigie kiwurrwe eyo?”*

10 Paulo yamuirania otino, “Ano nyiimeriire emberi wa entewe eya *Kaisaari, kutio ano nio ekiina kiange kisugaane kiwurrwe. Kiomo iwue omwene owona, kuwuene kiwulao ekintu ekiwiiwi ekia miire okukorra Awayaudi. 11 Ni kuri mbwe kirio ekintu ekia nyakola ekiwiiwi nikulondokana ne endagirra ekiesa kiagera nkengerwe ekiina ekia olumbe, ngʼandowere. Ni ni kuri mbwe amangʼana aga wanyingiriire nago gano ngʼagari kuwuene, awulao omuntu oesa okunta mu amakono gaawu. Kutio inze nsawa mbwe nyirwe emberi wa Kaisaari.” 12 No Omwami Feesto yamala okugamba-gamba na awagaaka awamutunzia okukenga ekiina, yamulaga otino, “Omiire okusawa mbwe oirwe emberi wa Kaisaari, kutio ooza okuirwa eyo.”*

Feesto agamba-gambre no Omwami Agiriipa ku amangʼana aga Paulo

13 Na amiire amatono gaamala okuwita, Omwami Agiriipa* ni Bernia† waaza Kaisaria mu owugeni owua okuingizia Feesto ku okulowolwa kwae okuwa Omwami. 14 Ni waamala okuwa eyo ku amiire agasugre, Feesto yalaga Omwami Agiriipa otino, “Ario omuntu wundi ano owa Feliksi yareka mu owusiwe.* 15 No olwa nyagia Yerusaleemu awakangasi awa awoozia na awagaaka awa Awayaudi waamuingirra ni wawoola mbwe asugaane aitwe. 16 Ni inze nyawagaania mbwe ngʼane enkola iifu ifwe Awaruumi okuita omuntu oingiriirwe na akiari okueewua iwaga oona airanie amangʼana aga aingiriirwe nago emberi wa ekiina, awamuingiriire woona ni wario. 17 Olwa waaza ano nganyakakinda, no owuire owualondako nyalagirra Paulo areetwa mu olwanyi olwa ewiina, kandi nyaikazia ekiina. 18 Olwa awantu awaamuingirra awo waaimerra, ngawaka-amba ku ewintu ewiwiiwi ewia nyaingirizianga mbwe wakamuingiriire nawio. 19 Iwo waagamba-gamba mala ku okutawurizania kwawu ni Paulo ku amangʼana aga ediini yaawu ni ku omuntu wundi oetwa mbwe Yesu. Omuntu ono yafwa kale, ni Paulo awoola mbwe ario omulamu.* 20 Amangʼana gano gantangʼaangʼia ndeka okuwa ne engira endootu eya okutuukra owueru owuri ku amangʼana gaawu gano. Kutio nyawuuzia Paulo na akagonzia okugia Yerusaleemu kugere ekiina kigie kiwurrwe eyo. 21 Ni Paulo yasawa mbwe airwe ku Kaisaari kugere Kaisaari omwene agie amukengere ekiina. Kutio nyalaga awarinzi mbwe wamurinde nawuno kutuuke muire ku Kaisaari.”

22 Omwami Agiriipa yalaga Feesto otino, “Noona nyagala okuwurrako omuntu ono na amatwi gange.” Feesto yamuirania otino, “Nintio omwami. Enkio orimutegerezia.”

Paulo ari emberi wa Omwami Agiriipa

23 Enkio walwo, Omwami Agiriipa ni Bernia waaingira na awantu awangi mu enyumba eya awantu waagomerangamo. Awakangasi awa awa-iiye na awantu awanene-nene ku omugizi ogwo waawaingizia no owuti ino. Nikuemao Feesto yalagirra mbwe Paulo areetwe.* 24 Olwa Paulo yareetwa, Feesto yawoola otino, “Omwami Agiriipa alala na awantu woona awari ano. Omuntu owa muwona emberi iinyu ono, Awayaudi woona awamenyere Kaisaria ano alala na awamenyere Yerusaleemu wamiire okukuba erioga mbwe aitwe. 25 Ni ngʼankamutuukra no owuoni owukagera aitwe. Ni nikulondokana no okusawa kwae omwene mbwe airwe emberi wa Kaisaari, nyawuine mbwe muire eyo. 26 Ni mbula ne ekintu ekilamu ekia nyesa nyajojera Kaisaari ku omuntu ono, omwami. Kutio mureetre emberi wiinyu, kugere iwue Omwami Agiriipa ontunzie ku ekintu ekia nyesa nyajojera Kaisaari ku omuntu ono. 27 Aeniki ngakulootu okuira omusiwe emberi wa Kaisaari ni kiwulao ekintu ekilagana owuoni wuae.”

1 Nikuemao Omwami Agiriipa yalaga Paulo otino, “Iwaga ne eriao, gamba-gamba tukuwurre.” Paulo yagingirizia okukono atanika okuitatirra na awoola otino, 2 “Omwami, ne enkawi endootu ino okuuza emberi waao kugere mboole ekia manyire ku ewintu wiona ewia *Awayaudi wanyingiriire nawio, 3 aeniki manyire mbwe omanyire geeza enkola ezia Awayaudi alala no okutawurizania kwawu mu amangʼana. Kutio nkusawa mbwe oganye ontegerezie mpoola.

4 “Awayaudi woona wamanyire kiomo enkola ziange ziawanga ni kiomo nyawanga ni menyere mu ekialo kiifu ni ku omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu okuemera mu owuwuuka wuange. 5 Ngawaesa okulowa mbwe ku emiaka emingi wamiire okuwa ni wamanyire mbwe nyawanga mu owulala owua *Awafarisaayo owurindre endagirra ziifu wukalu ino mu ediini iifu.* 6 Omwami nyingiriirwe emberi waao reero luno aeniki ndi no okuganya ku ewintu ewia Katonda yaifuuwira waaguukwa wiifu. 7 Ewio niwio ewintu ewigera na awantu awa ewiriango wiifu ikumi ni wiwiri, wasawa Katonda owuire ki owuire ni warindirra okuwituukra. Omwami, okuganya okwa ndi nakwo kuno, nikwo okugera Awayaudi wano ni wanyingirra. 8 Ekigera ni kitawawurikanra inywe Awayaudi mbwe Katonda aziusia awafu niki?*

9 “Noona nyawonanga mbwe kwawanga kulootu okulwania eriina eria Yesu Omunazareeti mu engira ziona. 10 Kuwuene ekio nikio ekintu ekia nyakolanga Yerusaleemu. Awakangasi awa *awoozia waa-mpa amaani aga okuta Awakristo mu owusiwe. Kandi olwa waakengerwanga ewiina ewia olumbe, inze noona nyaganyanga ne ekiina ekia waakengerwanga. 11 Kangi ino nyawanyaasia mu amasinagoogi ni mbanigirizia okugamba-gamba uwiiwi ku eriina eria Yesu. Nyawarega kandi okusu kwampambanga nawo ino, okwageranga ni ngia mu emigizi emikate-kaate egia ewialo windi ni mbaingizia mu eminyako-nyaako.*

12 “Owuire wulala, nyafuma okugia Damaskaasi ne ebaruwa eya nyaeewua na awakangasi awa awoozia eya okumpa amaani okugia okunyaasia awantu awa Katonda. 13 Omwami, ku engira ni ngia, nyaizukra ni mbona idangaala erieru zerre okukira owueru ewua enyanga ni riema ku igulu rinsunguuzia rinta agati, alala na awantu awa nyawanga nawo.

15 “Nyamuwuuzia ntino, ‘Ni iwue ano, Omwami?’

“Omwami yanyirania otino, ‘Ni inze Yesu, owa odambia. 16 Ni ema, aeniki nkufumiire okukulowola ku emirimo egia okulaga awantu ewintu ewia owuine reero luno ne ewindi ewia nkiaza okukulaga emberi eyo. 17 Ndiikutoola mu amakono aga Awaisraeli alala na awatari Awaisraeli, awa nkutumako, 18 kugere ogie owaigule amiiso wagaluke waeme mu ekierema, waaze mu owueru.

19 Paulo yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Kutio Omwami Agiriipa, inze ngʼanyakatambuka ewia nyalagwa mu owusasuko okuema ku igulu. 20 No owusookere nyagia ngalanzia ku omugizi ogwa Damaskaasi, nikwo ngia Yerusaleemu ni mu ekialo kiona ekia Awayaudi ni mu ewialo ewia awatari Awayaudi.

24 Kutuuka ao, Omwami Feesto yamutawania mu amangʼana no omwoyo ogwa kungulu otino, “Paulo! Paulo Omutwe gwao guuzre uwiiwi? Na mpano isoma riao ringi rikulalusia!”

25 Paulo yamuirania otino, “Yaaya omwami, omutwe gwange ngamuwiiwi. Amangʼana aga mboola gari kuwuene kandi ngawoola na amaingirizio amalootu. 26 Ngawoola no owusiani aeniki manyire mbwe Omwami Agiriipa oona agamanyire kandi kiwulao-uwula ekintu ekia atamanyire aeniki ngawikaikola owuiwisi.* 27 Omwami Agiriipa, mberi oganyire ku awagambi awa Katonda? Manyire mbwe owaganyireko.”

28 Omwami Agiriipa yawuuzia Paulo otino, “Paulo, oingirizia mbwe oesa okungalusia nyawa Omukristo mu enyinga entono zino?”*

29 Paulo yamuirania otino, “Zikawa enyinga entono nakuwa enyinga enyingi, no okusawa kwange kuri mbwe ngʼani iwue engʼene, ni kugia inywe awantu awantegerezia mwona mukagaluuke muwe ki inze, ni turekere eminyororo giange gino giengʼene.”

30 Nikuemao Omwami Agiriipa, ni Feesto ni Bernia alala na awantu woona awaawanga ni waikaale nawo ao waaema. 31 Ni waagianga waawoola agati yaawu watino, “Omuntu ono awula no owuoni owua akaitrwa namba owua akasiwirwa.”* 32 Omwami Agiriipa yalaga Feesto mbwe, “Kuweeko mbwe Paulo ngakasawa mbwe airwe ku *Kaisaari, akasiwuulwe agie.”*

Paulo airrwe Rooma

1 Olwa amangʼana gaawisiwua mbwe tusugaane tugie Itaalia, awa-iiye waatoola Paulo alala na awasiwe wandi wawata mu amakono aga Juliasi, omulala ku awakangasi awa awa-iiye awa *Kaisaari. 2 Twaniina owuato owuaemanga Andramitiasi owuawanga ni wugia nyamialo egia mu ekialo ekia *Eesia. Twawanga ni Aristakuusi Omumakedoonia, owaemanga Thesaloniika.* 3 Enkio walwo olwa twatuuka Sidooni, Juliasi, ku owusiza wuae, yaganyira Paulo agie awonane na awiiko waae wamutunzie ne ewintu.* 4 Olwa twasiawala ao, omuyaga omuzito gwatufumira emberi ogwagera tulonda oluwega lundi olwa ekizinga ekia Saipraasi aa omuyaga gwawanga ni gugwiriire. 5 Twa-ambuka tuwitra mu enyanza eya Siliisia ni Pamfiilia, tugia Miira mu ekialo ekia Liisia. 6 Olwa twatuuka ano, omurinzi omunene owa awasiwe yatugalusia mu owuato owuaemanga Aleksandaria ni wugia Itaalia.

7 Twarumuka mpola ino ku amiire amangi kandi okutuuka Nidaasi kwatuweera eminyako-nyaako ino. Nikulondokana no owungi owua omuyaga ogwatufumira, twalonda oluwega lundi olwa Kireete no omuyaga omutono, tugia tutuuka Salmooni. 8 Twawa ne emirimo emikalu ino okuwalamia owuato nawuno tutuuka ku omwalo oguri mu ikondo erietwa mbwe Ikondo Ilootu, ampi no omugizi ogwa Liisia.

9 Kwatuukra ni tumiire okuona enyinga enyingi ino aa katio okugia emberi no olugendo kwafwananga okuigoga. Aeniki namba amiire aga omugomo aga okuvwangʼana, aga enyanza etanika okuonekra, goona gawanga ni gamiire okuwita. Kutio Paulo yawagaania otino: 10 “Awiifu, mbona olugendo lwifu luno, ni tukiagia emberi okutambuka ano ngalugia okuwa olulootu yawa. Andi owuato wuifu wuuza okuatika emisigo giteeke kandi owulamu wuifu wuwe mu eminyako-nyaako.”* 11 Kukawa kutio, Omurinzi omunene owa awasiwe ngakategerezia amangʼana aga Paulo yawoola. Iye yalonda amangʼana aga omuwunguzi omunene ni ngʼina owuato. 12 Owungi owua awantu waawona mbwe tuwalame tugie Foiniksi aeniki omwalo ogwa twawanga ni tugoweremo ngagukawanga omulootu okuwaamo mu amiire aga entwigo. Omwalo ogwa Foiniksi gwawanga ku ekizinga ekia Kireete ni guwariire embega iwiri, nyakukono okumosi okwa ewugwanyanga ni nyakukono okusaaza okwa ewugwanyanga.

Enyanza ewiiyire waawu Paulo ku owuziwa

13 Olwa omuyaga omunyerere gwatanika okuwuuta okuema nyaluwega olwa ansi, waingirizia mbwe watuukiire ekintu ekia waagalanga. Kutio waakulula enangaari watanika okuwalama ampi ne ensanyaata eya ekizinga ekia Kireete. 14 Ni twawanga ni tukiari okugia ale, omuyaga omuzito agwa ‘Maagula’ gwatufumira nyamusenye. 15 Gwaluuma owuato kandi okuwarizia iyanga eria owuato ku ekialo kwatukira. Kutio waareka owuato wugie no omuyaga ewuziwa. 16 Twatuukra owuwuuwu olwa twatuuka nyaluwega olwa ansi eya Kauda aa omuyaga gwawanga omutono. Kukawa mbwe twawaako ne eminyako-nyaako ano, tuakola wukalu tusiwa geeza akaato akatono aka twawanga ni tukulula. 17 Waakaniinia mu owuato wasiwa owuato ne engoe wukalu. Waakola otio aeniki waatianga mbwe andi owuato wuuza wuagaza mu itosi ampi no omwalo ogwa Liibia. Nikuemao waaisia etanga ansi, wareka owuato wuweye no omuyaga. 18 Amasira gaaisonga ino aa olwa kwatuuka enkio walwo, waatanika okuzigiza emisigo egia waawanga ni wagingre mu amanzi.* 19 Owuire owua okusatu waarigiza ewigowero ewia owuato mu amanzi na amakono gaawu aweene. 20 Olwa twamala amiire amangi ni tukiari okuwona iwasu namba engʼeni-ngʼeni, no omuyaga gwona ni guisonga okuwa omuzito ino, twatoolako emioyo mbwe tufwire.

21 Lunyima na awantu waawanga ni wamiire okutoola amiire amangi ni wataria, Paulo yaimerra emberi waawu awalaga otino, “Awiifu kuweeko mbwe mwategerezia amangʼana gange, ngatukaingiire mu eminyako-nyaako gino. 22 Ni katio mbalaga mbwe mutafwa omwoyo aeniki awulao omuntu ooza okufwa. Owuato wuengʼene niwuo owuuza okuoneka. 23 *Enyankoi eya Katonda wange owa nsawa, izo yanyizreko owuire, 24 kandi andaga otino, ‘Paulo, otatia, paka oimerre emberi wa Kaisaari. Katonda ku owusiza wuae ateere awantu woona awa owunguka nawo wano mu amakono gaao.’* 25 Kutio awiifu, mutatia! Manyire mbwe Katonda aaza okukola kiomo nyalagrwe. 26 Ni kukawa kutio, omuyaga guuza okutuweyia nawuno tuariire ku izinga.”*

27 Lunyima, emidiira iwiri ni gimiire okutuwuera ni tuweya-weya mu enyanza eya Meditereenia, owuire agati amaingirizio gaazra awaunguzi mbwe paka kuwe mbwe turi ampi ne ekialo. 28 Kutio olwa waazigiza olugoe olusiwirweko iwaale okumanya owuliire owua amanzi, waatuukra mbwe waawanga ewifuwa* amakumi awiri okuema ansi. Waaikako wutono kandi wakola otio, luno waatuukra mbwe wari ewifuwa ikumi ni witaanu okuema ansi. 29 Waarigiza enangaari ine mu amanzi okuambirra owuato, aeniki waatianga mbwe owuato wuuza wuaariira ku ewiema. Nikuemao waasawa Katonda mbwe awarinde owuire wukie. 30 Awawunguzi waagalanga okufuma owuiwisi wareke owuato, kutio waaisia akaato akatono karia mu amanzi ni waisemerezia mbwe wagia okurigiza enangaari zindi mu amanzi na akaato ako. 31 Ni Paulo yalaga omukangasi owa awa-iiye alala na awa-iiye waae otino, “Na awaunguzi wano wafumre mu owuato muno, ngamuuza okulama.” 32 Kutio awa-iiye waakewa engoe eziawanga ni zisiwire akaato ako wakareka kaweya no omuyaga kagia.

33 Owuire katio wuawanga a-ampi okukia. Kutio Paulo yalaga awantu awaawanga mu owuato omwo otino, “Awiifu emioyo giinyu gimiire okuwa ni giangiriire kandi nyingeeno mumiire okumala emidiira iwiri ni mutaria. 34 Nyagala mbwe murieko ekintu kugere mutuukre amaani. Mbalaga mbwe awulao omuntu-umuntu ooza okuteesia namba oluvwiri lwae.”* 35 Ni Paulo yamala okuwoola otio, yatoola emikaati agisereka, nikuemao agenyula atanika okuria.* 36 Ekio kiaoreezia awantu emioyo, kutio woona waaria. 37 Twawanga awantu mia wiwiri na amakumi musamvu ni mukaaga mu owuato omwo. 38 Lunyima na awantu waamala okuiguta, waagia emberi okurigiza engaano mu amanzi kugere owuato wuwe owuwuuwu.

Owuato wuatiike

39 Olwa owuire wuakia, ekialo kiatangʼangʼia awawunguzi wareka okumanya aa waawanga. Olwa waawona omwalo oguri mu ikondo, waawisia mu emioyo giawu mbwe ni kuesekana wagie wagowie owuato ao. 40 Kutio waakewa engoe eziawanga ni ziambiriire enangaari zisigala mu amanzi nikwo wagia wasiwula engoe eziawanga ni ziambiriire engoworo, mala wakulula etanga ndala eya emberi kugere omuyaga guwiisie ku ekialo. 41 Ni ngawakatuuka. Owuato wuariira ku ewiema ewia mu amanzi. Wuagaza nyaiyanga aa ngawukaemao. Kandi amasiira amakate-kaate gaawukuba nyakilumba ni wuatika.

42 Olwa awa-iiye waawona watio, waagalanga mbwe waite awasiwe woona, kugere watakuba abaali warumuke wagie. 43 No olwa omukangasi waawu yagia amanya ekia waagalanga okukola, yawagaania, aeniki ngakaagalanga mbwe Paulo aitwe. Omukangasi owa awa-iiye oyo yalaga awantu woona otino, “Awaesa okukuba abaali wagwe mu amanzi wagie ku ensanyaata. 44 Awandi watoole ewimega nakuwa amawasi aga owuato agaatiike wanyogieko!” Nintio twona twatuuka ku ekialo ni turi awalamu.

Paulo ari ku ekizinga ekia Malta

1 Ni twawanga ni tumiire okutuuka ku ekialo, ni turi awalamu twona, twatuukra mbwe ekizinga ekio kietwa mbwe Malta. 2 Awa mu ekizinga ekio waatuingizia ne enyingizia ewula kuno, kandi waatukumra omurro tuota. Emvula yawanga ne ekuba kandi embeo yoona yawangako.* 3 Paulo yagia akunza enkwi areeta. No olwa yazita mu omurro, owuyu owua omurro wuafumia engulusi mu enkwi omwo emuluma okukono, egazako. 4 Olwa awa mu ekizinga ekio waawona ne enzoka eyo egazre ku okukono okwa Paulo, waaisimania ni wawoola agati yaawu watino, “Ngamuwona? Paka kuwe mbwe omuntu ono, no omwisi. Kutio kukawa mbwe aemere ku igogo omulamu, engʼanga ekia mugwira-ugwira.” 5 Ni Paulo yatenzia okukono kwae ku omurro enzoka eyo egwa mu murro eyia. Ne enzoka eyo ngekamukola ekintu.* 6 Awantu waarinda okuwona omuwiri gwae ni guzimba namba na agwa ansi afwe, ni waarinda wadoowa. Olwa waareka okuwona ekintu ekiwiiwi ni kimuikorra, waagaluka wawoola mbwe, “Omuntu ono ngʼano omuntu-umuntu, ono ni katonda”*

7 Pabiliasi omwami owa ekizinga ekio yawanga na amalowa ampi na aa twagowera ao. Yatuingizia no owusangaavu tuwa awageni waae ku amiire asatu. 8 Kuno kwatuukra ni swawu omwami oyo ari ku iseero iseeka no olunyalalo ni lumukubre. Kutio Paulo yamugiako amusawira na amutaako amakono, alama. 9 Olwa kino kiamala okuikola, awalwire woona awa mu ekizinga ekio wareetwa kandi waalamiwua woona. 10 Lunyima ni twafumanga, awantu awo waatu-aa ewintu ewingi ino kandi waatuteera ewintu wiona ewia twa-agalanga mu owuato.

Paulo aemere Malta agiire Rooma

11 Ne emienzi isatu giamala okuwua, twaniina owuato owua omugizi ogwa Aleksandaria owuaetwanga mbwe ‘Awazia Awalongo’ owuawanga ni wugowere ao kugere entwigo ewite, tuwunguka nawuno 12 tutuuka Saikuuse aa twamala amiire asatu. 13 Okuema ao twawunguka tugia ku omugizi ogwa Regiamu. Enkio walwo omuyaga gwatanika okuwuuta ni gugia aa twagianga. Kutio kwatutoola amiire awiri okutuuka ku omwalo ogwa omugizi ogwa Puteoli. 14 Eyo twatuukra Awakristo wandi awaatusawa mbwe tuweeko nawo ku omudiira omulala. Ni tuema ao, twagia Rooma. 15 Awiina wiifu awari ku omugizi ogwa Rooma, olwa waawurra mbwe turi ao, waaza okutuaganra mu Ekiiyia ekia Apiasi ni mu Amayumba Asatu aga Awageni. Olwa Paulo yawawona, yairanizia Katonda otioo. Kandi yatuukra amaani amayia. Kutio yaikazizia Katonda.

Paulo alanzia amangʼana aga Katonda ku omugizi ogwa Rooma

16 Olwa twatuuka Rooma, Paulo yaganyirwa okumenya mu enyumba yaae omwene no omurinzi owamurindanga atateeka.*

17 Lunyima na amiire asatu gaamala okuwita, Paulo yalagirra awakangasi awa *Awayaudi mu omugizi ogwo. Olwa waaza, yawalaga otino, “Awiina wange, ngʼankakorra awiifu uwiiwi lwona ngʼankaona enkola ezia twatuukra okuema ku waaguukwa wiifu. Ni kukawa kutio, nya-ambwa Yerusaleemu nyesaniwua ku Awaruumi ki omusiwe. 18 Olwa waamala okumbuuzia ku ewintu ewia nyaingirrwa nawio, waagalanga okunsiwula aeniki ngawakantuukrako owuoni owusugre no olumbe.* 19 Na Awayaudi iwo waalowa mbwe ntasiwulwa. Kino kiannigirizia okusawa mbwe *Kaisaari awe mbwe nio owurra ekiina kiange, kukawa mbwe ngʼankaagalanga okuingirra awiifu.* 20 Ekio nikio ekigerre ni mbalagiriire kugere muuze ngambe-gambe ni inywe, aeniki nsiwirwe ne eminyororo gino ku okuganya kwange ku *Kristo no okuziuka okwa awafu, ekintu ekia Awaisraeli woona wamiire okuwa ni warindirra.”*

21 Awakangasi awa Awayaudi awo waamuirania watino, “Tukiari okutuukra ebaruwa nakuwa amangʼana agaemere Yudeea, lwona awulao omuntu ku awiifu awo omiire okuuza ano atulaga ekintu-ukintu ekiwiiwi ku iwue. 22 Ni kukaweere kulootu no otulagre ekia oingirizia ku amangʼana gano aeniki tumanyire mbwe awiifu woona ngawaganyire ne ediini eya orimo eno.”*

23 Waalowola owuire owua okuagaana. Olwa owuire owuo wuatuuka, awantu awangi waaza aa Paulo yawanga na amenyere. Kutio Paulo yawagerera amangʼana aga Katonda okuemera kunkio nawuno kutuuka owuire, kandi na awalaga owueru owuri mu *Owuami owua Katonda. Yawalagirizia okuema ku endagirra ezia Muusa alala na amangʼana aga *awagambi waajoja mbwe Yesu nio Kristo.* 24 Awandi ku iwo waaganya ku amangʼana gaae, na awandi ngawakagaganyako. 25 Awantu awo waagawukana mu amangʼana kandi waatanyika olwa Paulo yawoola otino: “Kane *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yawoola kuwuene olwa yalaga waaguukwa wiinyu okuwitra ku Isaaya omugambi owa Katonda mbwe; 26 ‘Gia olage awantu wano otino, muritegerezia ni ngamuriwurra, lwona okuwarra muriwarra, ni ngamuriwona. 27 Aeniki awantu wano emioyo giawu mikalu, lwona waziwire amatwi gaawu kandi waindirizie amiiso gaawu. Wataaza waawurra na amatwi kandi amiiso gaawu gataaza gaawona, lwona emioyo giawu gitaaza giaingizia amangʼana kugere wagaluke waaze ku Katonda, awanunule.’† ”*

28 Paulo yamariizia na awalaga otino, “Nyagala mumanye mbwe owutumwa owua owuinunuzi wuno wuiriirwe awatari Awayaudi, kandi waaza okuwuingizia.”* 29 [Ni Paulo yamala okuwalaga otio, Awayaudi awo waafuma wagia ni wasoolana agati yaawu aweene.]

30 Paulo yamala eyo emiaka iwiri na amenyere mu enyumba eya aoloola kandi yaingizia awaagia okumuwona woona. 31 Yalanzia amangʼana aga Owuami owua Katonda kandi na awagerera ku amangʼana aga Yesu Kristo. Yakola otio no owusiani ino kandi awulao omuntu-umuntu owamuemerezia.*

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Ebaruwa eya Awaruumi eno yajojwa no *Omutumwa Paulo omwaka ogwa 57 ni yawanga ku omugizi ogwa Korintho. Yagijojera Awakristo awaawanga Rooma, omugizi ogwa yageezanianga okuwitamo na ari mu olugendo lwae olwa okune, olwa okulanzia *injiili. Mu ebaruwa eno, Paulo agamba-gambra Awakristo Awagiriiki na *Awayaudi awaawanga mu ekaniisa eya Rooma mu engira ezigawukane-gawukaane, nikulondokana ne enkola na amaingirizio aga ewifuwo ewia Awakristo wiwiri wino.

Awakristo Awayaudi waawanga ni wazoganiizie owulamu wuawu owua Owukristo ne enkola yaawu ezia okulonda *ensikirra ezia ediini yaawu. Paulo awasiagizia na awalaga mbwe Omukristo owa kuwuene asugaane a-ee Katonda owuti ku okuganya okukangatrwa no *Omwoyo Omweru. Omukristo okangatiirwe no Omwoyo Omweru aaza okutuusia okuagala okwa ensikirra eya Katonda mu owulamu wuae. Awoola mbwe Omukristo ari omuntu osiwuulwe okuema ku endagirra ezia Endagano Enkulu kandi aingiire mu owulamu owua owukire owukangatiirwe na amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru. Paulo alagana mbwe Omukristo no omuntu ori owuyanga kandi ari ale no owulamu owua owuoni. Ari mu owulamu owuyia kandi ari mu empurizanio ni Katonda.

Amakeezio agasookere

1 Ni inze Paulo, *omukurumu owa *Kristo Yesu, owaeterwa emirimo egia okuwa *omutumwa kandi owaloworrwa emirimo egia okulanzia *injiili eya Katonda.* 2 Injiili eno Katonda yagigamba-gambako kale okuwitra ku *awagambi waae mu endagano yaae enzeru.* 3 Injiili eene egamba-gamba ku omuzia waae owaazanga okuwa omuizukulu owa Daudi, ku owulamu wuae owua ku ekialo kuno. 4 Ni ku amaani aga *Omwoyo Omweru, yalaganiwua ki Omuzia owa Katonda ori na amaani goona olwa yaziuka aema ku awafu. Ono nio Yesu Kristo Omwami iifu.* 5 Katonda yatu-aa owusiza owua okuwa awutumwa ni kuwitra ku Yesu omulala oyo kugere tueete awantu woona awaema mu enganda ziona wamuganyeko kandi wamulonde, kugere eriina riae rieewue owunene.* 6 Inywe Awaruumi mwona muri awalala ku awantu awaaetwa okuwa awantu awa Yesu Kristo.

7 Kutio mbajojera inywe awantu awari Rooma, awa Katonda agonziizie kandi awayaeta mbwe wawe awantu waae omwene.

Muwe no owusiza no owuolu owuema ku Soifu Katonda no *Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo.

Paulo agala okugia Rooma

8 Owusookere nyiranizia Katonda otioo ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo ku inywe mwona aeniki amangʼana aga okuganya kwinyu ku Kristo gaizuule ekialo du.* 9 Katonda owankorra emirimo egia okulanzizia awantu injiili egamba-gamba ku omuzia waae, na amaani gange goona engʼene nio okawa omuwoni wange ku kiomo mbaingirizia 10 enyinga ziona ni nsawa. Nsawa Katonda mbwe ni kuri okuagala kwae, aganye ampe iwaga eria okuuza okuwawona nyingeeno, ni kuesekana.*

11 Amiiga gandia ni inywe ino kugere nyize mbaeeko ensereki ezia mu omwoyo ezia Katonda amiire okuta mu owulamu wuange kugere muwe awakalangufu ku Katonda. 12 Ekia mboola ni mbwe, ni tuuza okuagaana, nyiza okuwa-ambia amaani mu okuganya kwinyu, kandi mwona muuza okunyambia amaani mu okuganya kwange, kandi twona tuuza okutunzania owufwanani. 13 Awiina wange, nyagala mumanye mbwe nawuno reero, kangi ino miire okukola wukalu kugere nyize mbawone ni nyaigarrwa. Nyagala ino mbwe kiomo miire okuwa ni nkola emirimo egia Katonda agati ya enganda zindi ezitari ezia awiifu *Awayaudi, nkole owufwanani agati iinyu kugere awantu wagaluke waganye kandi walonde Yesu Kristo.* 14 Mu omwoyo gwange, ndi no omusango ogwa okuira amangʼana amalootu aga Kristo ku awantu woona, awari mu ewialo ewikomere ne ewiri enyima, awaganga awasomere na awamaya awataasoma. 15 Ekio nikio ekigera ni nyagala okuuza okulanzia amangʼana aga Katonda Rooma ino.

16 Inze mbula ensuuko ni injiili aeniki injiili nie egingre amaani aga Katonda aga okununula awantu woona awari no okuganya, okutanikra ku Awayaudi kutuuka ku awatari Awayaudi.* 17 Injiili nie etulaga kiomo owuigolovu owuemera ku Katonda wutuukrwa kandi mbwe awawutuukra na awaganyire ku Yesu wengʼene, okuemera mu owutanikro paka mu owutuuko. Kuri mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe, “Omuntu ori mu empurizanio ni Katonda ku okuganya, nio orilama.”†*

Katonda aswawuka awooni woona

18 Okusu okungi ino kuamba Katonda no owuoni owua awantu woona awalowera owueru owua Katonda okuwonekana ne enkola ziawu embiiwi, kandi okusu okwo kuwaazra ni kuema ku igulu ku Katonda.* 19 Waswawukwa ni Katonda aeniki ewintu ewia awantu waesa okumanya ku Katonda wiona wiri enze wawimanyire geeza kandi Katonda omwene nio omiire okuwamanyisia ewintu ewio wiona. 20 Okuemera Katonda yaluka ekialo, awantu wamiire okuwa ni wamanyire amaani amangi agawula omurengo agatariwua aga Katonda ari nago, ne ewigera Katonda awa Katonda wiona. Ewintu wino ngawiwonwa na amiiso, ni wawimanyire aeniki wawona ewintu ewia Katonda yaluka. Kutio okawoola mbwe iye ngawimanyire aweeya.*

21 Ni kukawa mbwe awantu wamanyire Katonda otio, ngawamu-aa owuti owusugre nae yawa kandi ngawamuiranizia otioo. Ni aa okukola otio, amaingirizio gaawu gaoneeke kandi emioyo giawu gimwamre ti.* 22 Wawoola mbwe wari awaganga ni wari awamaya.* 23 Aa okusawa Katonda omulamu ori no owunene, wasawa katonda ensaasa eziwanzrwe mu omufwano ogwa omuntu ofwa ne ezindi ezifwana enyonyi ne entiangʼi ezimoola alala ne ezitamoola.*

24 Enkola embiiwi zino nizio ezigera ni Katonda awalowa kandi na awalekula wakole-ukola ewintu ewia ensuuko ewia emioyo giawu giagala, ewintu ewia waona nawio emiwiri giawu aweene. 25 Wagaluusie owuene owuri ku Katonda okuwa owuweeyi. Wasawa kandi wakorra ewintu ewilukrwe, aa wakasawire Katonda omulusi osugre okueewua owunene amiire goona.

26 Kutio Katonda amiire okuwalekula wawe-uwa no okuagala okukola ewintu ewimwamu ewia ensuuko. Namba awantu awekikazi wareka okugia ku owuriri na awasaaza, ni wakola watio na awakazi awiina waawu, ekintu ekiwiiwi ekitasugaane kiikole yawa. 27 Awantu awekisaaza woona nintio wareka okugia ku owuriri na awakazi kiomo kusugaane kuwe, kandi emiwiri giawu giyia no okuagala okusooda awasaaza awiina waawu. Awasaaza waitala na awasaaza awiina waawu kandi Katonda awaswawuka owusugre ne enkola ziawu embiiwi ezio.*

28 Aeniki walowere ewintu ewia wamanyire ku Katonda kandi ngawamu-aa iwaga mu emioyo giawu, Katonda oona awalekuule mu okuwa no okuingirizia okuoneeke okuwaira mu okukola ewintu ewia watasugaane wakole.

29 Emioyo giawu giizuule du ne ewintu ewiwiiwi ewigawukane-gawukaane, endandiire no okuagala okuwiiwi. Ee, emioyo giawu giizuule ni iyari, owuisi, okulwana, owuweeyi no owuzigu. Waona amiina aga awantu kandi* 30 wata amangʼana amawiiwi ku awantu. Waregere Katonda lwona wari awantu awalulu pe. Emitwe giawu mikalu kandi wagonziizie okuitumbula. Watoola enyinga ziawu okuagarizia engira empia ezia okukola owuoni. Wari awantu awatatiire awiiwuzi waawu. 31 Walowa okuwurra amangʼana, kandi ni waifuuwire okukola ekintu, ngawakituusia. Wawula olugonzi kandi ngawa-ambra awiina waawu amasaasra. 32 Kukawa mbwe wamanyire geeza mbwe Katonda ari kuwuene okuwoola mbwe omuntu-umuntu okola ewintu ewifwana wino asugaane afwe, iwo ngawawikola-ukola kwengʼene, ni waganya na awawikola kandi wawatondowola.

Awulao oganyiirwe okukengera omwina waae ekiina

1 Kutio iwue okengera omwina waao ekiina, wa no okumanya mbwe okawa anu, oona ooza okukengerwa ekiina aeniki enyinga ezia okola otio, ofwana oikengera ekiina iwue omwene. Ni kutio aeniki ewintu ewia okengera awantu ekiina ni wakola, niwio ewia iwue oona okola.* 2 Tumanyire mbwe okuswawukwa okwa Katonda aswawuka nakwo awantu ni wakorre ewintu ewifwana wino, kusugaane kandi kuri kuwuene. 3 Iwue omuntu-umuntu ono, okakengera otie awandi ekiina ni oona okola ewia wakola? Oingirizia mbwe Katonda aaza okureka okukuswawuka kolaki? 4 Kusi otoola wutono owusiza wuae owungi no okugia mpola kwae okwa kangi agia mpola okukuswawuka ku amawi gaao? Osugaane omanye mbwe Katonda ari omusiza ni iwue kugere ogaluke oreke amawi.*

5 Ni iwue, ku okuwa kwao no omwoyo omukalu ogutagaluka, oiwiikiire ekiina ekiwiiwi no okusu okungi okwa Katonda. Ekiina kiazane kiriwa nyanga olwa owutuuko, olwa ekiina ekiri kuwuene ekia *Omwami Katonda kirikengwa. 6 Owuire owuo Katonda ari-aa omuntu ki omuntu omugawo gwae nikulondokana ne enkola ezia yakola.†* 7 Awantu awakola olutuunyo mu enkola endootu aa watareka, iwo wagala okutuukra owukaate no owuti owuema ku Katonda alala no okuwa no owulamu. Iwo Katonda ariwa-aa owulamu owutariwua. 8 Na awantu awagala ewiawu aweene wiengʼene, awakola owuoni kandi awalowa okulonda ewintu ewiri kuwuene, iwo Katonda ariwaswawuka owululu ino. 9 Owululu ne emidambo giriamba omuntu ki omuntu ku ekialo okola owuoni: okutanikra ku *Awayaudi nikwo awatari Awayaudi. 10 Ni ku awa enkola endootu, iwo warieewua owukaate, owuti no owuolu ni Katonda: okutanikra ku Awayaudi nikwo awatari Awayaudi. 11 Kuri kutio aeniki Katonda ngatiire amiiso aga omuntu-umuntu.*

12 Kiomo awantu awakola owuoni ni watamanyire *ensikirra ezia Muusa wariteeka, nintio awamanyire ensikirra ni wakorre owuoni woona warikengerwa ekiina nikulondokana ne ensikirra ezia Muusa. 13 Kuri kutio aeniki okuwurra ensikirra kwengʼene ngʼanikwo okugera awantu ni wawa aweeru emberi wa Katonda, ni no okurinda ensikirra nikwo okugera omuntu yawa omweru emberi wa Katonda.* 14 Kutio awatari Awayaudi, awawula ensikirra ezia Muusa, ni mu owulamu wuawu wakola ewia ensikirra ezio ziagala, aweene walagana mbwe wamanyire ewisugaane ne ewitasugaane wikolwe, kukawa mbwe wawula ensikirra ezia Muusa. 15 Kuri kutio aeniki owulamu wuawu wulagana mbwe ewintu ewia ensikirra ezia Katonda ziganyire nazio wijojerwe mu emioyo giawu. Ee, aeniki enyinga ziona amaingirizio gaawu gawakengera ekiina ku ewintu ewiiwisre wiona ewia wakola mu owulamu wuawu. 16 Nikulondokana ni *injiili eya inze Paulo ndanzia, nintio kuuza okuwa owuire owua Katonda arikengra awantu woona ekiina ni kuwitra ku *Kristo Yesu, ku ewintu wiona ewia waakola owuiwisi mu owulamu wuawu.*

Okuwa ne ensikirra ezia Awayaudi ngakununula

17 Katio iwue, oieta Omuyaudi kandi oteere okuganya kwao ku ensikirra ezia Muusa. Oitumbula mbwe ori ampi ni Katonda* 18 kandi mbwe omanyire okuagala okwa Katonda ne ewintu ewilootu ewisugaane wikolwe aeniki wagererwa ensikirra ezia Muusa. 19 Mu omwoyo gwao oitoola mbwe ni iwue oambra awawuunu ensimbo kandi mbwe ni iwue owueru owua awantu awari mu ekierema.* 20 Mbwe ni iwue ota awamaya ku engira kandi omugerezi owa awaana. Oiwona otio aeniki oingirizia mbwe ori no okumanya okutuukre no owuene owuema mu ensikirra ezia Katonda. 21 Katio iwue ogerera awandi, niki ekikulowera okuigerera iwue omwene? Olanzizia awantu geeza mbwe wataiwa, ni iwue ekigera no oiwa niki?* 22 Iwue olaga awantu mbwe watasooda, mberi osooda? Iwue owoola mbwe ozirre katonda ensaasa ezilongerwe, kuwa kutie mbwe okola ne ewintu ewitoorrwe mu *ekaalu yazio? 23 Oitumbula mbwe omanyire ensikirra ezia Katonda ezio, ni kandi ni iwue oreetra eriina eria Katonda ensuuko no oona ensikirra ezia Katonda. 24 Kuri kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano eya Katonda mbwe, “Ni inywe awagera eriina eria Katonda ni rigamba-gambwako uwiiwi na awatari Awayaudi.”†

25 Nyagala mumanye mbwe okuirwa *enyangu kuri ne emirimo ku omuntu olondokana ne ensikirra engʼene. Ku omuntu otambuka ensikirra ezia Katonda, okuirwa enyangu kuri wusa, kandi kuwulao okugawukana agati yaao no otairrwe enyangu.* 26 Kutio otari Omuyaudi otairrwe enyangu na atuusiizie okuagala okwa ensikirra, kuwuene Katonda aaza okumuingizia ki omulala ku awantu waae. 27 Ekio nikio ekigera na awatari Awayaudi waaza okulagana mbwe Katonda ari kuwuene okuwakengera ekiina aeniki kukawa mbwe iwo ngawairwa enyangu, ni wa-ambre ensikirra ezia Katonda. Ni inywe kukawa mbwe muri ne ensikirra lwona muirrwe enyangu, ni mukiaona-uona ensikirra ezia Katonda. 28 Aeniki ewintu ewia enze ngʼaniwio ewigera omuntu yawa Omuyaudi kuwuene, lwona okuirwa enyangu okukorrwa omuwiri ngʼanikwo okuirwa enyangu okuri kuwuene. 29 Yawa! Omuyaudi kuwuene no ori Omuyaudi okuemera mu omwoyo gwae, lwona okuirwa enyangu okuri kuwuene no okuirwa enyangu okwa mu omwoyo okukolwa no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, okutari okujojerwe mu ensikirra ezia Muusa, yaaya. Omuntu oyo Katonda omwene, otari omuntu, nio omutondowola.*

1 Katio no owulootuuki okuwa *Omuyaudi? Nakuwa okuirwa *enyangu katio kuri ne emirimoki? 2 Ee, wurio owulootu ino okuwa Omuyaudi kandi okuirwa enyangu kuri ne emirimo mu engira enyingi. Owusookere, Awayaudi niwo awa Katonda yasooka oku-aa amangʼana gaae.* 3 Katio omuntu akaingirizia mbwe okutalonda okwa Awayaudi waareka okulonda amangʼana aga Katonda kuesa okugera Katonda oona areke okutuusia ewia yawaifuuwira? 4 Yawa! Awantu woona waweeye, ni Katonda awe kuwuene. Kuno kuri mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe:

“Oo *Omwami Katonda. Iwue paka owulootu wuao wuwonekane no ogamba-gamba,

kandi owe omukire no okengera awantu ekiina.”†*

5 Awandi waesa okuwoola mbwe, nakatio ni kuri mbwe amawi giifu galagana geeza kiomo Katonda ari kuwuene, mberi Katonda akola geeza okutuswawuka ni tukola amawi? 6 Ni ngakuri kutio yaaya, aeniki Katonda na atari kuwuene lwona na ataigoloole, akakengera ekialo ekiina otie? 7 Omuntu akiaesa okuwoola otino, “Owuweeyi wuange niwuo owugera okuwa kuwuene okwa Katonda ni kuwonekana geeza kandi ne eriina riae rieewua owunene. Katio niki ekigera ni nkiakengerwa ekiina mbwe ndi omwoni?” 8 Okuwoola otio kufwanana no okuwoola mbwe, “Kane tukole-ukola owuoni kugere owulootu wuweeo.” Kino nikio ekintu ekia awantu awatuwoolako amangʼana aga owuweeyi wawoola mbwe tugerera awantu. Katonda ariswawuka awantu awo owusugre ne ewia wawoola ewio.

Awulao omuntu omweru owula no owuoni

9 Katio tukawoola mbwe Awayaudi wari geeza okukira awantu wandi? Yaaya, ngakuri kutio yawa. Miire okulagana kiomo owuoni wukirre Awayaudi na awatari Awayaudi owuagani. 10 Kuri-uri kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano eya Katonda mbwe,

“Awulao omuntu namba omulala ori omweru owula no owuoni,

11 namba omuntu omulala owa amangʼana gaingirra

kandi awulao oagala Katonda.

12 Awantu woona wagaluuke warekere Katonda.

Woona wawula emirimo

13 Amangʼana agaema mu eminwa giawu gawunya ki ekivundu ekia ekitundu mu ekiwaga ekikiari okuwugrwa.

Okuwoola amangʼana aga owuweeyi nigio emirimo giawu.†

Endimi ziawu zifumia amangʼana agafumuta ki owusungu owua engulusi.†

14 Waizuule na amangʼana amalulu alala no okufuuwa awantu.†

17 Ngawamanyire engira eya okumenya na awantu no owuolu,†

18 lwona ngawatiire Katonda yawa.”†

19 Katio tumanyire kuwuene mbwe *ensikirra ezia Muusa ziambre awantu awari ansi yazio. Kutio ekiina kikira awantu woona aa awulao okawoola ekintu, kandi owuoni owua awantu woona awari ku ekialo wuwonekane kuwuene. Kino kiwanyaga ekia wakaiyambako emberi wa Katonda na awakengera ekiina. 20 Kuri kutio aeniki awulao namba omulala oriwa mu empurizanio ni Katonda ku okulonda ensikirra yawa, ne ensikirra ziateewua kugere awantu wamanye mbwe owuoni niki.*

Engira eya okuwa mu empurizanio ni Katonda

21 Ni nyingeeno erio engira ndala eya okureeta awantu mu empurizanio ni Katonda, eta-ambaane no okulonda ensikirra. Katonda amiire okulagana engira eyo geeza kandi eri enze kuwueru. Ensikirra ezia Muusa alala na *awagambi woona waagamba-gamba ku engira eno. 22 Engira yazane eri mbwe Katonda areeta awantu woona mu empurizanio nae ku okuganya kwawu ku Yesu *Kristo. Akorra awantu woona awaweere no okuganya otio aeniki kuwulao okugawukana agati ya Awayaudi na awatari Awayaudi* 23 Ni kutio aeniki awantu woona wamiire okukola owuoni kandi ngawasugre emberi wa owueru owua Katonda. 24 Ni wareetwa mu empurizanio nae wusa, no owusiza owua Katonda ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo owawatoola mu amawi mala awata owuyanga.* 25 Katonda yafumia Yesu okuwa omusango kugere, ni kuwitra ku amasaai gaae aga yasuluzia, arekere awantu woona awaganyire ku Yesu amawi gaawu. Katonda yakola otio kugere alage awantu owuigolovu wuae, aeniki ku owuorezi wuae ngakaswawuka awantu awa kale ku amawi aga waakola. 26 Katonda yaagalanga mbwe awantu awa mu amiire gano wamanye mbwe ari omulongoole na awareeta mu empurizanio nae ni waganyire ku Yesu Kristo.*

27 Katio lwona kirio ekia omuntu akaitumbula nakio mbwe atuukiire na amaani gaae omwene? Yawa, aeniki okuwa kwifu mu empurizanio ni Katonda ngakuema mu okulonda ensikirra yaaya, ni kuema ku okuganya ku Yesu Kristo.* 28 Kuri kutio, aeniki tumanyire kuwuene mbwe omuntu awa mu empurizanio ni Katonda ku okuganya, ni ngaku okulonda ensikirra yawa.* 29 Kusi Katonda ni Katonda owa Awayaudi wengʼene? Ngari Katonda owa awatari Awayaudi woona? Ee, ari Katonda owa awatari Awayaudi woona. 30 Aeniki Katonda no omulala, kiomo areeta Awayaudi mu empurizanio nae ku okuganya ku Yesu Kristo, nintio lwona ku okuganya okulala okwo, areeta awatari Awayaudi mu empurizanio nae.* 31 Kusi omuntu akaingirizia mbwe ni tugerera okuganya ku Yesu kuno, mbwe katio tuwoola mbwe ensikirra ziwula ne emirimo? Yaaya, okuganya kuno nikwo okutuusia ensikirra.*

1 Tukawoolaki ku Abraamu guukwa owa *Awayaudi, ino-ino ku ekingʼana kino? 2 Ni kuri mbwe Katonda yata Abraamu mu empurizanio nae ku enkola endootu ezia Abraamu yakola, kiomo Awayaudi waingirizia, kangato Abraamu yawanga ne ekia yaesanga okuitumbula nakio. Ni kiomo kuri, yawulanga ne ekia yaesanga okuitumbula nakio emberi wa Katonda.* 3 Ekio nikio ekigera ne *endagano ewoola mbwe, “Abraamu yaganya ku Katonda, kandi ku okuganya kwae okwo Katonda yamuingizia ki omuigolovu.”†* 4 Kuri mala kiomo omuntu okorra owundi emirimo ngaeewua egia owusa, na aoloolwa omugawo ogusugre ne emirimo egia akorre. Ngatoola omusaara gwae ki ekintu ekia ngʼina emirimo amueere-uaa wusaasa, ni ki omugawo ogwa asugaane amuoloole. 5 Ni ku omuntu oganyire ku Katonda, otakola na amaani gaae kugere Katonda amuingizie, kurio okugawukana okukaate. Katonda ori na amaani aga okureeta, kugia omwoni mu empurizanio nae, aaza okumuganya ki omuntu omuigolovu ku okuganya kwae okwo. 6 Daudi oona yawoola owufwanani olwa yagamba-gamba ku ensereki eya omuntu owa Katonda aingiizie ki omuigolovu ku okuganya kwengʼene okutari ku enkola ziae omwene otino:

7 “Awantu awa Katonda arekeere amawi gaawu na awasereekwe;

awantu awa Katonda asanikiire amawi gaawu.

8 Kuwuene omuntu owa Katonda ngaingirizia amawi gaae, no osereekwe.”†

9 Tukawoola mbwe ensereki eno eri mala eya Awayaudi wengʼene? Yaaya, eri eya awatari Awayaudi woona. Tuwuine mbwe ku okuganya kwengʼene Katonda yawala Abraamu ki omuntu omuigolovu. 10 Ni kino kiaikola ri? Ni yawanga na amiire okuirwa *enyangu kusi ni yawanga na akiari? Yaaya, ni yawanga na akiari. 11 Yairwa enyangu lunyima ki ekilagano ekia okuwa kwae mu empurizanio ni Katonda okwa yatuukra mu engira eya okuganya ni yawanga na akiari okuirwa enyangu. Katonda yakola otio kugere Abraamu awe swawu awantu woona awaganyire ku Yesu *Kristo ni watairrwe enyangu. Ku okuganya, iwo woona waingiziwua mu empurizanio ni Katonda.* 12 Lwona ari swawu awantu awairrwe enyangu woona, awatairrwe-uirwa enyangu kwengʼene, na awalonda omufwano ogwa okuganya okwa Abraamu soifu yawanga nakwo namba ni yawanga na akiari okuirwa enyangu.*

Okuganya kwagera Katonda atuusia ekia yaifuuwira Abraamu

13 Okuifuuwa okwa Katonda yaifuuwira Abraamu na awiizukulu waae mbwe aaza okuwa-aa ekialo, ngakukaaza mu engira eya okulonda *ensikirra yawa, ni kwaza mu engira eya owuigolovu owuema ku okuganya ku Katonda.* 14 Aeniki, kuweeko mbwe awatuukra ekia Katonda awifuuwiire wari mala awantu awalonda ensikirra wengʼene, ao kane okuganya ku Katonda kuwula emirimo, lwona okwifuuwa okwa Katonda kuri wusa.* 15 Kuri kutio aeniki ensikirra nie egera Katonda na aswawuka awantu no okusu, ni aa ensikirra ewula, okuona ensikirra kwona kuwulao.*

16 Kutio Katonda atuusia ekia yaifuuwira Abraamu na awiizukulu waae. Akola otio wusaasa ku owusiza wuae kugere woona wawe no owuyanga owua okutuukra ekia yaifuuwira Abraamu. Ni ngʼani ku awari ne ensikirra wengʼene, ni namba ku awari no okuganya okufwanana no okwa Abraamu yawanga nakwo. Aeniki Abraamu nio swawu awantu woona awari no okuganya ku Katonda. 17 Nintio kwajojwa mbwe: “Miire okukulowola owe swawu enganda enyingi.”† Emberi wa Katonda ao, Abraamu yaganya amangʼana aga Katonda yamuwoolako mbwe ari soifu gano, ki agamiire okuikola. Ee, kane Katonda ngʼanio o-aa awafu owulamu kandi ogera ewintu ewiwulao ni wiwaao?*

18 Abraamu yaganya ku Katonda kandi yata omwoyo okuwona ekitaaesanga okuikola. Kuno kwagera awa swawu enganda enyingi mala kiomo yawanga na amiire okulagwa mbwe, “Nintio awiizukulu waao wariwa awangi.”† 19 Kukawa mbwe yawanga ampi okutuusia emiigo mia kilala, Abraamu ngakareka okuganya okwa yawanga nakwo namba ni yawanga na amanyire geeza mbwe (iye omwene yamala okuema ku omugizi kale) omuwiri gwae gwafwanananga ogwamala okufwa kandi Saara mukaae oona olwiwulo lwae lwamala okugia kale. Kutio ku okuiwula awaana, yamanya mbwe iye ni mukaae Saara, waafwanananga awaamala okufwa. 20 Kukawa kutio, yaganya aa ngakataao kaoozi ku ekintu ekia Katonda yamuifuuwira, kandi yasonga okuwa omukalangufu mu okuganya. Ya-aa Katonda owunene namba ne ekintu kiazane kiawanga ni kikiari okuikola,* 21 aeniki yaganya ino mbwe Katonda ari na amaani aga okutuusia okuifuuwa kwae.*

22 Kino nikio ekigera ni “Katonda yamuingizia ki omuntu omuigolovu” ku okuganya kwae.* 23 Amangʼana agawoola mbwe “Katonda yamuingizia” gano ngagakajojerwa Abraamu engʼene, 24 ni twagajorerwa ifwe, awaganyire ku Katonda owaziusia Yesu Omwami iifu na amutoola ku awafu, twona. Ifwe awaazanga okuingiziwua mu empurizanio ni Katonda ku okuganya. 25 Yaezaniwua kugere aitwe ku amawi giifu, kandi yaziusiwua kugere tuwe mu empurizanio ni Katonda.*

Okuwa no owuolu ni Katonda

1 Kutio, aeniki tumiire okuingiziwua mu empurizanio ni Katonda ku okuganya, turi no owuolu ni Katonda ni kuwitra ku *Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo.* 2 Yesu owa tuganyireko ono nio omiire okutuigurra engira eya okutuukra owusiza owua Katonda owua turimo nyingeeno wuno. Kandi turi no owusangaavu no omwoyo ogwa okurindirra okuwa ni Katonda mu owunene owuae.* 3 Ni ngʼano okwo kwengʼene, ni tuwa awasangaavu namba mu eminyako-nyaako egituuzra, aeniki tumanyire mbwe eminyako-nyaako gigera twawa no olutuunyo, 4 no olutuunyo lugera omuntu yawa no omwoyo ogwa Katonda aganyire nagwo, no omwoyo ogufwanana no ogwo, gugera twawa no omwoyo ogwa okurindirra, 5 no omwoyo ogwa okurindirra ngagutugwisia. Kuri kutio aeniki Katonda amiire okuizuzia emioyo giifu no olugonzi okuwitra ku *Omwoyo Omweru owa Katonda atueere.**

6 Kutio tuwona mbwe mu enyinga ezia twawulanga amaani aga okuitunzizia aweene, *Kristo omwene yatufwira ifwe awooni.* 7 Ne ekintu ekikalu ino okuingirizia mbwe omuntu akafwira omuntu omuigolovu otiire *ensikirra ezia Katonda, andi omuntu omulootu, kaoozi.* 8 Ni Katonda yalagana mbwe atugonziizie ino otino: Ni twawanga ni tukiari awooni, Kristo yatufwira.*

9 Kiomo nyingeeno tumiire okureetwa mu empurizanio ni Katonda okuwitra ku amasaai aga Kristo otino, ni kuwuene mbwe ni kuwitra ku Yesu wazane, Katonda aaza okutununula kugere atatuswawuka no okusu kwae. 10 Ee, ni kuri mbwe mu amiire aga twawanga awazigu awa Katonda, twairaniwua mu empurizanio nae ni kuwitra ku okufwa okwa Yesu omuzia waae, katio okuwa kwae omulamu kuuza okutureetra owuinunuzi owuagana wutie! 11 Ngakuri kutio kwengʼene, ni lwona tuwa no owusangaavu ino ni Katonda ni kuwitra ku Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo, owa nyingeeno atuiraanie ku Katonda.*

Adaamu yareeta olumbe, ni Yesu areetere owulamu

12 Kutio, mala kiomo omuntu omulala nio owagera owuoni ni wuingira ku ekialo, kandi owuoni niwuo owuareeta olumbe, olumbe lwona lwazra awantu woona aeniki awulao omuntu otaakola owuoni.* 13 Namba ni Katonda yawanga na akiari okuesana ensikirra ziae ni kuwita ku Muusa, awantu waakolanga owuoni. Kukawa kutio omuntu awalrwa owuoni mala ne ensikirra eteerweo.* 14 No olumbe lwawa na amaani ku awantu woona okuemera mu amiire aga Adaamu kutuuka mu amiire aga Muusa, kugia awantu awataaona ensikirra eya Katonda yataao kiomo Adaamu yakola.

Adaamu ono, mu engira zindi, yawanga omufwano ogwa Kristo awaazanga okuuza lunyima.* 15 Ni, empanwa eya Katonda atu-aa, no owuoni owua Adaamu yakola, ngawifwanana yaaya. Ni kuwuene mbwe owuoni owua Adaamu omuntu omulala yakola wuno, wuagera awantu woona wafwa. Ni kukawa kutio, owusiza owua Katonda ari nawuo na awantu awangi, alala ne empanwa eya a-aa awantu wusa ni kuwitra ku owusiza owua Yesu Kristo omuntu omulala, nene okukira. 16 Empanwa eya Katonda aesana egawuuke ne ekia owuoni owua Adaamu wuareeta otino: Ni kuema ku owuwi owua Adaamu yakola, Katonda yamukengera ekiina ekia omwoni; ni, ni kuema ku amawi amangi aga awantu awangi waakola, Katonda yawa omusiza nawo mala awareeta mu empurizanio nae ki awawula no owuoni. 17 Ni kuwuene mbwe owuoni owua omuntu omulala wuagera olumbe lutanika okuwa na amaani ku awantu woona. Katio awantu awa Katonda aweere omusiza nawo ino kandi awa aeere empanwa eya okuwa mu empurizanio nae, iwo warimenya owulamu owua owukire owuagana wutie, ni kuwitra ku omuntu omulala Yesu Kristo?* 18 Kutio mala kiomo enkola endala embiiwi eya omuntu omulala yakola, yagera Katonda akengera awantu woona ekiina ekia omwoni, nintio lwona enkola endootu eya omuntu omulala engʼene yakola, yagera awantu woona ni wawa mu empurizanio ni Katonda kandi ni wawa no owulamu. 19 Aeniki mala kiomo okutakola okuagala okwa Katonda okwa omuntu omulala kwagera awantu woona wawa awooni, nintio okukola okuagala okwa Katonda okwa omuntu omulala kuuza okugera awantu awangi wawe awigolovu emberi wa Katonda. 20 Ensikirra yareetwa kugere owuoni wuisonge. No owuoni ni wuisongere, owusiza owua Katonda awa nawuo na awantu wuona wuisonga wuawa owungi okukira.* 21 Kutio mala kiomo owuoni wuawa na amaani ku awantu kandi wuareetra awantu olumbe, nintio lwona amaani aga owusiza owua Katonda gareeta owuigolovu owuira awantu mu owulamu owutariwua, ni kuwitra ku Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo.

Ku Kristo turi awalamu ni ku okukola owuoni turi awafu

1 Ekia tuesa okuwoola katio niki? Tugie emberi ni tukola-ukola owuoni kugere Katonda aongerezie owusiza wuae?* 2 Ngʼanintio yawa! Ku okukola owuoni ifwe twafwa, katio kandi tukareeta otie okugia emberi okukola owuoni mu owulamu wuifu?* 3 Ngamumanyire mbwe ifwe twona olwa twabatiiswa, Katonda yatuta mu owulala ni Yesu *Kristo kandi twaizogaana nae mu olumbe lwae, mu *owubatiiso omwo?* 4 Twafwa nae kandi twa-awirwa nae mu engira eya owubatiiso kugere mala kiomo Soifu Katonda yalagana owunene wuae ku okuziusia Kristo okuema ku awafu amenya kandi, nintio twona tumenye owulamu owuyia.*

5 Kiomo Katonda amiire okututa alala ni Kristo mu okufwa kwae otio, kuwuene Katonda aaza okututa mu owulala nae mu okuziuka kwae lwona.* 6 Aeniki tumanyire mbwe olwa Yesu *yawambwa ku omusalaaba, owulamu wuifu owukulu wuona wuawambwa nae ku *omusalaaba. Kino kiaikola kugere omwoyo ogukola owuoni guonwe mu owulamu wuifu. Okwo kutusiwula mu okuwa awagule awa owuoni* 7 aeniki omuntu omufu iye aisiwuule kandi owuoni wuwula amaani ku iye. 8 Kiomo kuri kuwuene mbwe twafwa ni Kristo alala, turi no okuganya mbwe tuuza okuwa awalamu nae lwona. 9 Aeniki tumanyire mbwe Kristo yaziusiwua aema ku awafu, ngarifwa kandi, lwona olumbe luwula amaani ku iye. 10 No olumbe olwa Yesu yafwa, yafwa kalala okukira amaani aga owuoni ilala kandi okuwa omulamu okwa ari omulamu nyingeeno, ari omulamu okulagana owunene owua Katonda.* 11 Mu engira emfwanani, mwona musugaane muiwone ki awantu awaafwa kandi wakira amaani aga owuoni. Okuwa awalamu okwa muri awalamu ku Kristo Yesu, muri awalamu kugere mulagane owunene owua Katonda.* 12 Kutio mutaaza mwaganya owuoni wuawa na amaani mu emiwiri giinyu egifwa, mbwe mukole okuagala kwagio okuwiiwi, yaaya. 13 Lwona mutaaza mwaezania ewiimo ewia emiwiri giinyu ku okukola owuoni, ti ngera ne ewintu ewia okukorra owuoni. Ni, aa okukola otio, mufumie owulamu wuinyu ku Katonda ki awantu awaatoolwa mu olumbe ni wareetwa mu owulamu. Kandi mufumizie Katonda ewiimo ewia emiwiri giinyu wiwe ewintu ewia okukorra emirimo emilongoole.* 14 Nyingeeno owuoni ngawusugaane wuwakangatre, aeniki ngamukangatiirwe ne endagirra yaaya, ni mukangatiirwe no owusiza owua Katonda.*

Omukurumu owa owuigolovu

15 Muingirizia mbwe aeniki ifwe tukangatiirwe no owusiza owua Katonda, katio tusugaane tukole-ukola owuoni aeniki ngatukangatiirwe ne *ensikirra? Mboola nti yaaya, mulawire! 16 Kusi inywe ngamumanyire mbwe omuntu awa *omukurumu owa ekintu namba omuntu owa aifumiizie okukola okuagala kwae? Oesa okuwa omukurumu owa owuoni owuira awantu mu olumbe, nakuwa omukurumu owa okukola okuagala okwa Katonda, okugera omuntu yawa omulongoole.* 17 Ni Katonda aikaziwue ino aeniki kukawa mbwe kuluweri mwawanga awasiwe awa owuoni, lunyima mwaganya kandi mulonda engerera eya awakurumu awa Katonda waawareetra ne emioyo giinyu giona.* 18 Inywe Katonda yawasiwula awatoola mu owuoni kandi nyingeeno muri awasiwe awa okukola ewintu ewilongoole.* 19 Nkola na amangʼana aga mukola nago mu owulamu wuinyu owua ku ekialo kino aeniki, ki awantu, muri awagata mu okuwurra kwinyu. Mala kiomo aa kale mwaesana ewiimo ewia emiwiri giinyu okuwa mu owusiwe owua okukola enkola emwamu ne enkola embiiwi etawua, katio nyingeeno muwifumie wiwe mu owusiwe owua okukola ewintu ewia Katonda aagala, ewigera no omuntu amenya owulamu owueru.

20 Ni mwawanga awakurumu awa okumenya mu owuoni, ewintu ewia Katonda aagala wiawulanga iwaga eria okukangatra owulamu wuinyu. 21 Mundageko owulootu owua mwatuukra mu okumenya owulamu owua nyingeeno ni muingirizia, ensuuko ziwa-amba? Ewintu wino wiira awantu mu olumbe.* 22 Ni kiomo nyingeeno Katonda amiire okuwasiwula awatoola mu owuoni kandi nyingeeno muri awakurumu waae, katio muesa okukola ewintu ewieru ewiira awantu mu owulamu owutariwua. 23 Aeniki omugawo ogwa omuntu atuukra ku okukola owuoni no olumbe, ne empanwa eya Katonda aesana wusa, no owulamu owutariwua ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo Omwami iifu.*

Owulamu owua Omukristo ngawukangatiirwe ne ensikirra

1 Waamwifu, inywe ki awantu awamanyire *ensikirra, kuwuene mumanyire mbwe ensikirra ziwa na amaani ku omuntu mala na akiario omulamu. 2 Tuwoole ku omufwano, endagirra eya okukwezana esiwire omukazi ku omusaaza waae mala no omusaaza akiari omulamu. Ni no omusaaza afwire, endagirra emusiwuule kandi awa iwaga okumenya no omusaaza wundi.* 3 Kutio omukazi oganyire okutoolwa no omusaaza wundi, iwuae na akiari omulamu aetwa omukazi omusondo. Ni, ni iwuae afwire, ari iwaga aa na akwerwe no omusaaza wundi ngaonere endagirra kandi ngaetwa omusondo.

4 Nintio mwona muri, waamwifu. Ku ensikirra, mwona mwamala okufwa ni kuwitra ku omuwiri ogwa *Kristo, kugere mutoolwe no omusaaza wundi, ori Yesu Kristo owaziusiwua okuema ku awafu. Yawatoola kugere mufumizie Katonda ensaafu endootu.* 5 Mu amiire aga twawanga ni tukiakangatiirwe no omuwiri, ensikirra zialamusia okuagala okuwiiwi mu emiwiri giifu, eziagera ni tukola enkola embiiwi eziira awantu mala mu olumbe.* 6 Nyingeeno katio kiomo twamala okufwa tutio, ensikirra eziawanga ni zitusiwire ziwula na amaani ku ifwe. Turi owuyanga ku ensikirra kugere tukorre Katonda mu engira empia eya *Omwoyo Omweru, egawuuke ne engira enkulu eya okurinda ensikirra eziajojwa.*

Ensikirra eya Katonda ndootu kandi etulaga owuoni wuifu

7 Ekia tuuza twawoola katio niki? Tukawoola mbwe ensikirra eya Muusa no owuoni? Ngʼanintio yaaya! Ensikirra ewuleoko, ngʼankamanyire mbwe owuoni niki. Inze omwene ngʼankamanyire mbwe ne ekintu ekiwiiwi okuwa no omwoyo omusirisizia ku ekintu ekia omuntu kuweeko mbwe Katonda ngakataao ensikirra ewoola mbwe, “Otaagala ekia owundi kiwe ekiao.”† 8 No olwa nyamanya ensikirra eyo, owuoni wuatoola iwaga eria ensikirra yareeta ku okundeetra okuagala okuwiiwi okugawuke-gawuuke mu omwoyo. Okwo kuikola aeniki ensikirra ne ewulao, owuoni wuwula na amaani.* 9 Aa kale, ni nyawanga ni nkiari okumanya ensikirra ezia Katonda, nyawanga omulamu. No olwa nyamanya-umanya ensikirra otino, owuoni wuatuukra amaani 10 mala mfwa mu owulamu wuange owua mu omwoyo. Kutio ensikirra eyasugananga endeetre owulamu, yandeetra olumbe.* 11 Owuoni wuatoola iwaga eria ensikirra yareeta, okunsemerezia kandi wukola ne ensikirra okunyita. 12 Kutio ensikirra ezia Muusa ne ewia ensikirra elaga awantu okulondokana nawio wiona wiaema ku Katonda, wiigoloole kandi wiri wilootu.* 13 Katio kuwa kutie mbwe ensikirra endootu yandeetra olumbe? Ngakuesekana yaaya! Owuoni niwuo owuakola ne ensikirra endootu okunyingizia mu olumbe. Okufuma okwa ekintu ekiwiiwi ku ekintu ekilootu kuno, kugera owuoni wuwonekana ki ekintu ekiwiiwi ino.

Iiye eriri mu omwoyo ogwa omuntu omanyire ensikirra

14 Tumanyire mbwe ensikirra eemere ku Katonda, ni inze ndi omuwiri omugata kandi ndi omugule owa okukola owuoni. 15 Inze ngʼamanyire ekigera ni nkola ewintu ewia nkola. Kuri kutio aeniki ewintu ewia omwoyo gwange guagala mbwe nkole ngʼambikola yaaya, ni mala ewia nyoreere nawio niwio ewia nkola.* 16 Ni nkola ewia ntaagala okukola otio, nganya mbwe kane ensikirra ezia Katonda ndootu. 17 Kutio ngʼani inze owikola, ni no owuoni owundimo niwuo owuwikola. 18 Ee, nyingeeno manyire mbwe kiwulao ekilootu ekindimo, ino-ino mu omuwiri gwange ogukola owuoni, aeniki okuagala ni nyagala okukola owulootu, ni ngawunyinkorra yaaya. 19 Ewia nkola ngʼano owulootu owua omwoyo gwange guagala, ni ne ewiwiiwi ewia ntaagala okukola niwio ewia nkola enyinga ziona. 20 Katio ni nkola ewintu ewia ntaagala okukola otio, kulagana mbwe ngʼani inze owikola yaaya, ni no owuoni owundimo niwuo owuwikola.

21 Katio kimbeera ki enkola mbwe ni nyagala okukola owulootu, owuoni niwuo owuwa emberi wange. 22 Aeniki munsi mu omwoyo, nsangaala ne ekia ensikirra eya Katonda ewoola mbwe nsugaane nkole, 23 ni kukawa kutio, ntuukra ensikirra indi mu omuwiri gwange, elwania ensikirra endamu eya ndi nayo mu okuingirizia kwange. Ensikirra yazane enta mu owusiwe owua enkola eya owuoni owuikola mu ewiimo ewia omuwiri gwange. 24 Ndi omuntu oinyaasia wululu ino. Katio naanu ooza okunnunula inze ku omuwiri ogumpira mu olumbe guno?* 25 Katonda aikaziwue kandi atondowolwe ino aeniki iye nio ooza okunnunula ni kuwitra ku *Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo.

Katio manyire ekinyiikorra: Inze mu okuingirizia kwange nganyire okulonda ensikirra eya Katonda, ni mu omuwiri gwange ndonda mala ensikirra eira awantu mu owuoni.*

Owulamu owuema ku Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda

1 Kutio nyingeeno, Katonda ngakengera awantu awamenyere mu owulala ni Yesu *Kristo ekiina.* 2 Aeniki okukangatrwa okwa wakangatiirwe no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda oesana owulamu ku awari ku Kristo, kuwasiwula okuema mu okukangatrwa ne *ensikirra eira awantu mu owuoni no olumbe.* 3 Kuri kutino aeniki ekia Katonda yakola, ensikirra eya Muusa ngekaesanga okukola aeniki omuwiri gugonziizie okukola owuoni. Kino kianyaga ensikirra amaani aga okukira owuoni. Katonda yakola otio ku okutuma omuzia waae omwene, owaaza mu omuwiri ogufwanana no ogwifu ifwe awantu awooni kugere aone amaani aga owuoni ku okutuweera omusango ogufumia amawi.* 4 Katonda yakola otio kugere atuusie owuigolovu owua ensikirra eya Muusa eagala mu owulamu wuifu. Akola otio mala ku ifwe awantu awamenyere mu okuagala okwa Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, okutari okuagala okwa omuwiri ogukola owuoni.*

5 Awantu awamenyere mu engira eya okuagala okwa emiwiri giawu egikola owuoni wata amaingirizio gaawu ku ewintu ewia emiwiri giawu giagala. Na awamenyere mu engira eya okuagala okwa Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, iwo wata amaingirizio gaawu ku ewia Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda aagala.

6 Okuwa na amaingirizio agakangatiirwe no okuagala okwa omuwiri kureeta olumbe, na amaingirizio agakangatiirwe no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda gareeta owulamu no owuolu.* 7 Omuntu ota amaingirizio gaae mala ku ewintu ewia omuwiri ogukola owuoni guagala, ari omuzigu owa Katonda. Awula no owuti ku ensikirra ezia Katonda, lwona ngaesa okukola otio. 8 Awantu awakangatiirwe no okuagala okwa omuwiri ogukola owuoni, ngawaesa okusangaazia Katonda.

9 Inywe awari no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda ngamukangatiirwe ne emiwiri egikola owuoni yaaya. Ni, ni mukangatiirwe no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, kuri kuwuene mbwe Omwoyo Omweru awamenyeremo. No omuntu owula no Omwoyo Omweru oema ku Kristo, omuntu oyo ngari omuntu owa Kristo.* 10 Ni, ni Kristo awamenyeremo, Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda aaza okugera muwe awalamu kukawa mbwe emiwiri giinyu giiza okufwa ku okukola okwa mwakola owuoni. Awakorra otio ku okuwa okwinyu mu empurizanio ni Katonda.* 11 Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda owaziusia Yesu okuema ku awafu na awamenyeremo, Katonda owatoola Yesu mu olumbe aaza oku-aa emiwiri giinyu egifwa owulamu ni kuwitra ku Omwoyo Omweru owamenyeremo.

12 Kutio waamwifu, kutunigirizia mbwe paka tumenye owulamu owua Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda aagala, ni ngʼani kiomo emiwiri giifu aweene giagala yaaya.* 13 Aeniki ni mumenyere kiomo emiwiri giinyu egikola owuoni giagala, muuza okufwa. Ni ni muitre enkola embiiwi ezia omuwiri ku amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, muuza okuwa awalamu.*

14 Kuri kutio aeniki awantu awakangatiirwe no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, wari awaana awa Katonda.* 15 Kandi Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, owa Katonda amiire okuwa-aa oyo ngagera ni muirana mu okuwa awasiwe awa okumenya mu owuti kandi yaaya. Ni, mwatuukra Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda ogera ni muwa awaana awa Katonda kandi nio otu-aa owuesani owua okueta Katonda ni tumurirra mbwe, “Baaba, Soifu.”* 16 Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda omwene nio oganyana ne emioyo giifu egia munsi mbwe turi awaana awa Katonda. 17 Katio ni kuri mbwe turi awaana awa Katonda, kane turi alala ni Kristo mu okuwa no owuyanga owua okuuza okutuukra ensereki eya Katonda awiikiire awantu waae. Ni tuagala okuwa ni Kristo mu owunene wuae, paka tuwe nae alala mu eminyako-nyaako egia yawona.*

Owunene owuuza

18 Inze mbona mbwe eminyako-nyaako egia tuwona nyingeeno gino, ngagisugre okugeraniwua no owunene owua Katonda atuwikiire, nakuwa wutono yawa.* 19 Ewintu wiona ewia Katonda yaluka wiri na amiiga amangi kandi wimaga-maga okuwona olwa Katonda arilagana awaana waae.* 20 Nintio aeniki Katonda yataao mbwe ewintu wiona ewia yaluka wiwe ki ewiwula ne emirimo ku owuoni owuaingira ku ekialo. Kuno ngakukawanga okuagala okwa ewialukwa wino yaaya, ni kwawanga okuagala okwa Katonda owawitaao otio. Katonda yakola otio na arindirra* 21 okuta ewintu wiona ewia yaluka owuyanga, okuema mu owusiwe owua olumbe no okuwola, awireete mu owuyanga owunene owua awaana waae wariwa nawuo. 22 Twona tumanyire mbwe mala kiomo omukazi oagala okuigawula arra wululu ewisa ni wimuluma, nintio ewintu wiona ewialukwa wiona wirra wululu nawuno reero. 23 Ngʼane ewio wiengʼene, ni kugia ifwe aweene awa Katonda amiire oku-aa Omwoyo gwae Omweru ki empanwa eya kuluweri, nintio turi. Twona turi ne endiramwoyo mu emioyo giifu egia munsi ni turindirra ne emioyo giifu giangiriire ino, okuwona owuire owua Katonda aritutoola tuwe awaana waae, na ata emiwiri giifu owuyanga owutuukre.* 24 Ifwe namba okuemera olwa twanunulwa, okurindirra kuno nikwo okwa tumiire okuwa nakwo. No okurindirra ku ekintu ekiwonwa, ngʼano okurindirra yaaya, aeniki awulao omuntu orindirra ekintu ekia ari nakio.* 25 Ni ifwe awarindirra okutuukra ekia tukiari okutuukra, muturindirre ne emioyo egitafwa.*

26 Alala na ago, Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda atutunzia mu owugata wuifu. Ngatumanyire geeza ekia tusugaane tusawe Katonda atutunziemo, no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda atuisasamra Katonda na atuirizizia, na amangʼana agataesa okuwoolwa. 27 Ni Katonda omanyirizia emioyo giifu nio omanyire ekiri mu amaingirizio aga Omwoyo gwae Omweru, aeniki Omwoyo Omweru aisasaamra awantu awa Katonda mu engira eya Katonda omwene aagala.

28 Kandi tumanyire mbwe, Katonda agera ewintu wiona, wikawa ewintuki, ni wireeta owulootu ku awantu awamugonziizie kandi awa yaeta nikulondokana no okuagala kwae omwene. 29 Ni kutio aeniki awa Katonda yawanga na amanyire kale, yalowola kugere waaze wafwanane ni Yesu Omuzia waae mu owulamu wuawu, kandi Yesu awe omwana owa kuluweri ku awaana awiina waae.* 30 Awantu awa Katonda yalowola kale niwo awa yaeta kandi niwo awa yata mu empurizanio nae, lwona niwo awa ya-aa owunene.*

Olugonzi olwa Yesu Kristo

31 Niki katio ekia tuesa okuwoola ku amangʼana goona aga ngamba-gambreko gano? Ni kuri mbwe Katonda nio ori nyaluwega lwifu, kandi ario okatulwania yatukira? 32 Katonda ngakalowa okureka namba omuzia waae *okuwambwa ku omusalaaba, ni yamufumizizia ifwe twona. Akalowa otie katio okutu-aa ewintu wiona, alala no omuzia waae?* 33 Naanu katio oesa okuingirra awantu awa Katonda omwene nio olowoole? Ngakuikola yaaya aeniki Katonda omwene nio owoola mbwe wawula ne ekia wakaingirrwa nakio. 34 Lwona ario okawakengra ekiina mbwe wari awooni awasugre no okuswawukwa? Yaaya awulao, aeniki Kristo Yesu yafwa. No owukirre, Katonda yamuziusia mala aema ku awafu. Nyingeeno ari nyakukono okusaaza okwa Katonda kandi atuisasamra Katonda.** 35 Naanu katio oesa okutugawula no olugonzi olwa Kristo atugonziizie nalwo? Kusi ne emidambo, nakuwa ewintu ewikalu-kalu ewia tuwitamo, kusi eminyako-nyaako no owululu owua awantu watu-aa? Ekawa enzala, nakuwa owutaka, namba okutia owuwi owuesa wuatuikorra, kusi no olumbe? 36 Kuri mala kiomo kwajojwa mbwe,

“Ku amangʼana gaao turi awantu awagala okuitwa enyinga ziona,

awantu watutoola ki amagondi agagala okuitwa.”†*

37 Yaaya, kiwulao aeniki ku ewintu wino wiona, turi awakire awatakirwa, ni kuwitra ku Kristo owatugonzia.* 38 Inze manyire kuwuene mbwe kiwulao-uwula ekintu ekiiza kiatugawula no olugonzi olwa Katonda. Lukawa olumbe namba owulamu; wakawa *enyankoi namba awakangasi awa mu ekialo ekia mu ekierema; kukawa mbwe ne ewintu ewiikola nyingeeno namba ewiiza okuikola emberi eyo; gakawa amaani agafwana gatie, ngagaesa okutugawula no olugonzi lwae.* 39 Wuwulao owuliire owuniina kungulu nakuwa owuika ansi, namba ekintu-ukintu ekia Katonda yaluka, ekiesa okutugawula no olugonzi olwa Katonda amiire okutulaga ni kuwitra ku *Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo.*

Awaisraeli walowere Meesia waawu

1 Ewia mboola wiri kuwuene aa ntaweeya yaaya, aeniki ndi owa *Kristo. Omwoyo gwange ogwa munsi, omwa *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda amenyeremo, gwona guganya gutio. 2 Ni kuwuene mbwe nyiiyumbre ino kandi ndi no owululu owungi owutawua, munsi mu omwoyo gwange. 3 Inze omwene nkaagaale mbwe mbe mbwe ni inze owa Katonda afuuwa kandi ata enze eya okuwa mu owulala ni Kristo, aa okukorra awiifu kandi waawamwifu* 4 Awaisraeli watio. Iwo niwo awa Katonda omwene yatoola ki awaana waae kandi niwo awa Katonda yalaga owunene wuae. Katonda yakola nawo endagano kangi kandi niwo awaaeewua *ensikirra ezia Muusa. Iwo niwo awasawa Katonda mu *ekaalu yaae, lwona niwo awa Katonda yaifuuwa okukorra ewintu ewikate-kaate.* 5 Waaguukwa waawu waawanga awantu awakate-kaate kandi Kristo omwene yaazra mu owuiwulane wuawu wuno. Kristo ono nio Katonda, omukangasi owa ewintu wiona osugre no okutondowolwa amiire goona! *Amin.*

6 Kusi tukawoola mbwe Katonda yareka okutuusia okuifuuwa okwa yaifuuwira Awaisraeli? Ngakuri kutio yaaya. Katonda iye yatuusia okuifuuwa kwae aeniki Awaisraeli awa yagamba-gambako ngawakawanga Awaisraeli ku okuiwulwa kwengʼene yaaya.* 7 Lwona awiizukulu awa Abraamu woona ngawari awaana awa Katonda kuwuene. Ekio nikio ekigera ni kwajojwa mbwe, “Na awiizukulu awa Isaaka wengʼene niwo nditoola ki awiizukulu waao.”†* 8 Kuno kutulaga mbwe ni Katonda agamba-gamba ku awaana waae, ngagamba-gamba ku awiizukulu awa Abraamu ku amasaai woona yaaya. Ni, na awaana awa Katonda omwene nio owaifuuwa oku-aa Abraamu wengʼene niwo awatoolwa ki awaana awa Abraamu kuwuene.* 9 Katonda yaifuuwira Abraamu otino, “Mu enyinga ezifwana zino omwaka omuyia, nyiza okuirana kandi mukaao Saara aaza okuiwula omuzia.”†

10 Ngʼana ago gengʼene, ni Rebeeka oona kwamuikorra owufwanani olwa yatuukra awaana waae awalongo no omusaaza omulala, guukwa iifu Isaaka.* 11-12 Ni kukawa kutio namba na awalongo awo waawanga ni wakiari okuiwulwa nakuwa okukola ekintu ekilootu namba ekiwiiwi, Katonda iye yawanga na amiire okukola owulowozi wuae. Rebeeka yalagwa ni Katonda mbwe, “Omuzia waao omukulu, aaza okuwa owemirimo owa omuzia omutono.”† Kino kiaikola kugere okuagala okwa Katonda mu owulowozi wusigale, ngʼani mu engira eya emirimo egia omuntu okakola na amaani gaae, ni mu okuagala okwa Katonda kwengʼene. 13 Kuri mala kiomo kwajojwa mbwe, “Nyalowola Yakoobo, ne Esaao nyalowa.”†

14 Ekia tuesa okuwoola ku amangʼana gano katio niki? Tukawoola mbwe Katonda arimo engawuzi? Yaaya nganintio! 15 Katonda yalaga Muusa otino,

“Owa mbwine okusaasra,

nio owa nyiza okusaasra.

Lwona owa mbwine okuambra amagongi,

nio owa nyiza okuambra amagongi.”†

16 Kutio owulowozi owua Katonda ngawuisigiike ku okuagala okwa omuntu nakuwa ewintu ewia akakola na amaani gaae yaaya. Ne ekineene, na amasaasra aga Katonda a-ambra omuntu-umuntu owa awuine.* 17 Kuri kiomo Katonda yalaga Faraao mu *endagano mbwe, “Nyakuta ku entewe eya owuami ne ekigera. Nyagalanga okukola ni iwue okulaganra awantu amaani aga ndi nago kugere eriina riange rimanyike mu ekialo kiona.”† 18 Kutio Katonda a-ambra awa awuine amasaasra, kandi agera awa awuine okuwa ne emitwe emikalu.*

Okusu okwa Katonda no olugonzi olwa ari nalwo

19 Omuntu aaza yawoola otino, “Ni kuri mbwe nintio kuri, kane no omuntu akorre ekintu ekiwiiwi, ekigera ni Katonda amutoola ki omwoni niki? Lwona ario okakola owugawuuke no okuagala kwae?” 20 No omuntu iwue, iwue oriki? Ekia omanyire ku engira ezia Katonda niki ekia okamulaga? Kuwuene entamu ewumbrwe ekalaga omuwumbi wayo mbwe, “Ekiagera no ompumba otino niki?”† 21 No omuwumbi amiire okuwisia mbwe awumba entamu okuema ku ilowa eria aduwire, ari na amaani aga okugenyula ilowa riazane erio okuwumbra entamu eya afumbiramo okuria okwa awageni, ne erindi yawumba nario entamu eya okufumbamo okuria-ukuria.*

22 Katio owuwi wuriai ni kuri mbwe Katonda yagalanga okulagana okusu okwa ari nakwo na amaani gaae ku awantu awa yawisia kale okuona? Ni, aa okuazakana okuwakorra otio, Katonda yalagana owuorevu wuae nawo. 23 Yagalanga ino-ino okulagane owunene wuae owungi ku awantu awa a-ambiire amasaasra. Awantu wano Katonda yataao kale mbwe wariwa nae mu owunene wuae.

24 Ifwe na awalala ku awantu awo, ifwe awa Katonda yaeta na atutoola, ngʼana agati ya *Awayaudi wengʼene, ni kugia agati ya awatari Awayaudi.* 25 Mala kiomo Katonda awoola mu ebuuki eya Oseea mbwe,

“Nyiza okueta awantu awatari awantu wange mbwe wari awantu wange;

kandi nyiza okumueta mbwe, ‘Omuntu owa ngonziizie’ otaawanga omugonzi wange.”†*

26 Lwona

“Kuuza okuikola mbwe mala asi aa awantu waalagwa mbwe,

‘Ngamuri awantu wange,’

nio warieterwamo mbwe, ‘Muri awantu awa Katonda omulamu.’ ”†

27 Isaaya *omugambi wa Katonda yaogerera no omwoyo omululu na agamba-gamba ku Awaisraeli otino, “Kukawa mbwe Awaisraeli wari awangi ki omusenye ogwa kumwalo, awatoono niwo awarilama. 28 Aeniki, Katonda aaza okukengera awantu woona awa ku ekialo kino ekiina, wuangu-wuangu kandi ilala.”† 29 Kuri mala kiomo Isaaya yawoola enyima mbwe, “Kuweeko mbwe *Omwami Katonda oesa goona ngakarekao awandi ku awiizukulu wiifu, kangato twamalwa chwe ki awantu awa emigizi egia Sodooma ni Gomoora.”†

Awaisraeli walowere engira eya okuingira mu empurizanio ni Katonda

30 Ekia tuuza twawoola katio niki? Awantu awatari Awaisraeli awataagarizianga engira eya wakaweeramo awalongoole emberi wa Katonda, niwo awagitukiire? Ee, owuigolovu owuo wuituukrana mu engira eya okuganya. 31 Kandi mbwe Awaisraeli awaagala okuwa awalongoole mu engira eya okurinda ensikirra, okutuusia ewia ensikirra eagala kwawakira. 32 Ekiagera no okutuusia ewia ensikirra eagala kwawakira niki? Waakirwa aeniki ngawakalonda engira eya okuwa no okuganya ku Katonda, ni iwo waalonda engira eya okukola emirimo na amaani gaawu aweene. Kutio waaiguunya ku iwaale eriguunya awantu. 33 Ekio kiaikola mala kiomo kwajojwa mbwe,

“Muwone! Nyiza okuta iwaale *Sayuuni eria awantu waaza okuiguunyako;

olutare oluuza okugwisia awantu ansi.

No omuntu oweere no okuganya ku iye, ngariwona ensuuko yaaya.”†*

1 Waamwifu, mu omwoyo gwange munsi nyagala ino kandi nsawira Awaisraeli wiifu ino mbwe Katonda awanunule.* 2 Inze omwene nyesa okuwawoolako no owusiani mbwe kuwuene wateere emioyo giawu egia munsi okukorra Katonda. Ni kukawa kutio, okuta okwa wateere emioyo giawu okukorra Katonda kuno ngakuisigiike ku okumanya engira eya Katonda ateriire awantu wamukorremo, yaaya. 3 Mu okutamanya engira eya Katonda areeta nayo awantu mu empurizanio nae, iwo waagarizia engira yaawu aweene eya okuwa awigolovu emberi wa Katonda. Iwo waageezania okulonda *ensikirra kandi mu okukola otio, waalowa engira eya Katonda.* 4 *Kristo nie entuuko eya ensikirra eya Muusa okukangatra owulamu owua awantu. Kutio nyingeeno Katonda aingizia awantu woona awari no okuganya ku Kristo ki awigolovu.*

5 Muusa omwene na ajoja ku owuigolovu owuuza mu engira eya okulonda ensikirra, awoola mbwe, “Omuntu orindre ensikirra zino, ensikirra ziiza okugera atuukre owulamu.”†* 6 Ni ku engira eya okuwa mu empurizanio ni Katonda mu engira eya okuwa no okuganya, endagano ewoola etino, “Otaaza waiwuuzia mu omwoyo gwao mbwe, ‘Ooza okuniina kungulu ku igulu naanu?’† ” (Ao otio mbwe, okutoola Kristo ku igulu okumureeta ku ekialo.) 7 Namba mbwe, “Naanu ooza yaika ansi mu owuina aa awafu wari?”† (Ao otio mbwe, okutoola Kristo mu ekialo ekia awafu, amufumie enze). 8 Ni ekia endagano ewoola ku amangʼana aga okuwa no okuganya aga tulanzia ni mbwe, “Amangʼana aga Katonda gari ampi ni iwue; gari mala mu omunwa gwao kandi mu omwoyo gwao.”†* 9 Aeniki no owoorre no omunwa gwao omwene otino, “Yesu no Omwami,” kandi owe no okuganya mu omwoyo gwao mbwe Katonda yamuziusia amutoola ku awafu, Katonda aaza okukununula.* 10 Kuri kutio aeniki omuntu aganya no omwoyo gwae ogwa munsi nikwo Katonda yamuta mu empurizanio nae. Lwona no omuntu awoorre no omunwa gwae emberi wa awantu mbwe Yesu no Omwami, Katonda amununula. 11 Mala kiomo *endagano ewoola mbwe, “Omuntu-umuntu oweere no okuganya ku iye ngariwona ensuuko.”†* 12 Ngegawula *Awayaudi na awatari Awayaudi aeniki Omwami no omulala engʼene, ori Omwami owa awantu woona kandi osereka ino awantu woona awamusawa owuitunzi.* 13 Kuri kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe, “Omuntu-umuntu osawire Omwami mbwe ‘Omwami nunule,’ aaza okununulwa.”†

14 Ni, wakareeta otie okusawa owa wakiari okuganyako? Lwona wakamuganyako otie ni wakiari okuwurra amangʼana gaae? Nakuwa wakawurra amangʼana gaae otie no omuntu atawalanziziizie? 15 Ni wakalanziizie otie ni Katonda atawatumre? Mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe, “Okuuza okwa awantu awareeta amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda ne ensereki enene efwanana otie!”†

16 Ni ngʼani mbwe Awaisraeli woona waaingizia amangʼana amalootu ago. Isaaya omwene yawoola otino, “Omwami, wameka awaweere no okuganya ku amangʼana gaao aga tuwalagre?”†* 17 Kutio okuwa no okuganya kuema ku okuwurra amangʼana, na amangʼana ageene gagamba-gamba ku Yesu Kristo.*

18 Ni mbuuzia ntino: Ngawawurra amangʼana ago? Kuwuene waagawurra mala kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe,

“Emioyo giawu gimiire okuwurrwa mu ekialo kiona,

kandi amangʼana gaawu gamiire okutuuka mu embega ziona ezia ekialo.”†

19 Kandi mbuuzia ntino: Kusi amangʼana ago ngagakaingirra Awaisraeli? Owusookere Katonda nio owawoola ni kuwitra ku Muusa otino,

“Nyiza okugera iyari riwa-ambe no oluganda olutasugre okuetwa oluganda

ku okukorra oluganda olwo ewintu ewilootu;

kandi nyiza okugera enda ziinyu ziyie

no oluganda olwa awantu awamaya awawula no okumanya.”†*

20 Lunyima kandi, Isaaya yawa no owusiani okulonda omunwa ogwa Katonda owawoola mbwe,

“Nyamanywa na awantu awataakola na amaani okunyagala wammanye;

kandi nyaimanyikira awantu awataiwuuzia wamanye owa ndi.”†*

21 Ni ku Awaisraeli, agia emberi na awoola otino, “Enyinga ziona okukono kwange miire okuwa ni ngoloriire awantu awa emitwe emikalu, awatawurra.”†

Owusiza owua Katonda ari nawuo na Awaisraeli

1 Mbawuuzia otino, kukawa kuwuene mbwe Katonda yalaga awantu waae omugongo? Yaaya ngʼanintio. Inze omwene ono ndi Omuisraeli, omuizukulu owa Abraamu, owaema mu ekiriango ekia Benjamiini.* 2 Katonda ngakalaga awantu waae awa yalowola okuemera kale omugongo, yaaya. Kusi mulawiire ekia *endagano ewoola mu omunayo ogugamba-gamba ku *omugambi owa Katonda Eliija? Omugambi ono yairizizia Katonda ku ewintu ewiwiiwi ewia Awaisraeli waakolanga na awoola otino,* 3 “Katonda Omwami, Awaisraeli wamiire okuita awagambi waao woona kandi wamiire okuona amasiga aga okukukorramo emisango. Inze engʼene ni inze osigaale kandi waagala okunyita noona!”† 4 Ni Katonda yamuirania otino, “Ngori omwene yaaya, wario awantu wange elufu musamvu awekisaaza wandi awa mbisre, awange omwene awakiari okuikirra wakubra *Baali katonda ensaasa amasigamo ansi.”† 5 Nintio lwona mu amiire aga reero, wario *Awayaudi awatono awa Katonda yalowola no owusiza wuae, awa omwene awisre kugere watuukre owulamu.* 6 Ni kuri mbwe Katonda alowola awantu mala ku owusiza wuae, kane ewia omuntu akakola na amaani gaae omwene ngawigera Katonda yamulowola. Ni kuweeko mbwe ni ku ewintu ewia omuntu akola na amaani gaae, kane owusiza owua Katonda wuri wusa.*

7 Ni kuwuene mbwe Awaisraeli ngawakatuukra ekia waagarizianga. Kukawa kutio, awalowole awa Katonda niwo awaakituukra! Katonda yagera awandi wakazia emioyo giwa emikalu ngʼa, aa ngawakaesanga okumuwurra.* 8 Okwo kwaikola mala kiomo kwajojwa mbwe, “Katonda yawa-aa emioyo emizito na amaingirizio agateekere, aa na reero amiiso gaawu ngagawona kandi amatwi gaawu ngagawurra.”†* 9 Daudi yoona yawoola otino:

“Katonda Omwami, reka emigomo giawu egia wariamo,

giwaweere ki emiweto ne emitego egiwa-amba,

kandi ewigazio ewiwanaga waagwa ansi.

Wakorre owusugre ne enkola ziawu embiiwi.

10 Gera amiiso gaawu gamwame ti watawona,

kandi emigongo giawu giikumbe ne emidambo egitawua.”†

11 Ndowa mbwe Awayaudi ngawakagwa mu owuoni ilala, aa wataesa okuema ansi wairane ku Katonda kandi. Aeniki okulowa okwa waalowa engira eya Katonda anunulamo awantu, kwagera owuinunuzi wugiira awatari Awayaudi. Katonda yakola otio kugere Awayaudi wawe ni iyari eria okutuukra ekia awatari Awayaudi waatuukiire.* 12 Kuwuene okugwa kwawu mu owuoni kandi owudowerwa wuawu mu okukola okuagala okwa Katonda kwagera awatari Awayaudi mu ekialo kiona ni wawona owulootu kandi ni watuukra ensereki enyingi. Okwo kulagana mbwe ni iwala eria Awayaudi riona riiza okuingira mu okuagala okwa Katonda, awantu woona warituukra ensereki enyingi eziwula no omurengo.

Owuinunuzi owua awatari Awayaudi

13 Katio nyagala okugamba-gambako na awatari Awayaudi. Kiomo *omutumwa owa *Kristo ku inywe awatari Awayaudi, inze ntoola emirimo giange egio ki emirimo eminene ino.* 14 Nyagala mbwe emirimo giange gigere awiifu wawe ni iyari no okuganya okwa awatari Awayaudi wari nakwo, kugere ni kuesekana waganye Katonda anunule awandi ku iwo. 15 Tuwona mbwe okulowua kwawu ni Katonda kwagera awatari Awayaudi wairana mu empurizanio ni Katonda. Katio kuuza okuwa kulootu okufwanana kutie ni Katonda aaza okuwaingizia iwo? Kugia awafu wariziuka wawe awalamu!

16 No oluwaala olwa omukaati olufumiziiwue Katonda ki omusango luri olweru, kulagana mbwe omukaati ogwo gwona guri omweru. Lwona emizi egia omuti ni giri emieru, kulagana mbwe ensagia ezia omuti ogwo ziona ziri enzeru.* 17 Iwue omuntu otari Omuyaudi ori kiomo ensagia eya *omuzabiibu ogumerre ogwene mu isaka. Awayaudi iwo wari ki ensagia ezia omuzabiibu omulootu ogusimbrwe mu omusiri. Ni Katonda yavuna ensagia zindi okuema ku omuzabiibu omulootu, iwue akutoola akukoma ku iwaga riazio, kugere nyingeeno owe agati ya ensagia eziasigala. Okwo kugera oona no otuukra ewiokuria okuema ku omuzabiibu* 18 omulootu oguri mu omusiri. Kutio mutaaza mwaitoola mbwe muri awalootu okukira ensagia eziakengwa zitoolwao, inywe mutoola iwaga riazio. Muwe no okumanya mbwe ne emizi, egitari ensagia, nigio egikuambiriire ku omuti kungulu.* 19 Omulala aaza yawoola mbwe, “Ee ensagia zindi ziatemwao kugere tutoole iwaga riazio.” 20 Nintio kuri, ni mumanye mbwe waatemwao ku okutaganya kwawu, kandi mbwe muimerre aa muri ao ku okuganya okwa muri nakwo ku Yesu Kristo. Mutaaza mwaitumbula, ni musugaane mutie Katonda ino.* 21 Aeniki, na ataasasra ensagia eziene-ziene eziakoma ku omuti, mwona ngaaza okuwasaasra. 22 Katio otalawira mbwe Katonda ni Katonda omusiza kandi ni Katonda owiiyirirwa. Awiiyirirwa na awantu awamuoneere, ni ku inywe awari no okuganya, ari omusiza ni inywe. Ni mugiire emberi okuwa no okuganya ku Yesu, oona aaza okugia emberi okuwa omusiza ni inywe. Ni, ni murekere mwona aaza okuwatemao ki ensagia. 23 Lwona muwe no okumanya mbwe na Awayaudi warekere okugia emberi no okutawa no okuganya, Katonda aaza okuwairania ku omuti aa yawatoola aeniki ari na amaani aga okukola otio. 24 Inywe awatari Awayaudi, muri ensagia eziatemwa okuema ku omuti ogwa omuzabiibu ogwakoma mu isaka. Nikuemao, Katonda yawata ku omuzabiibu ogwa omwene yasimba, ekintu ekitaakolwanga. Katio ngakuuza okumuweera okunyoowu ino okuirania ensagia ezia omuti ogwene ku iwaga eria omwene yazitemao?

Owusiza owua Katonda ku awantu woona

25 Wamwifu, nyagala mumanye owuene owua amangʼana owuiwisiire awandi kugere mutawa no okuitumbula. Okuwa ne emioyo emikalu egiwula no okuganya ne ekintu ekikiaza okugia emberi ku Awayaudi wangi nawuno awalowole awa Katonda okuema ku awatari Awayaudi woona waingre.* 26 Nintio Katonda aaza okununula ekialo ekia Israeli kiona. Amangʼana aga awagambi awa Katonda goona gasigika ekingʼana kino kiomo kwajojwa mbwe,

“Omununuzi aaza okuema *Sayuuni.

Aaza okugera awiizukulu awa Yakoobo wareke okumenya owulamu owuoneeke.

27 Kandi endagano eya nyakola nawo

mbwe nyiza okutoolao amawi gaawu goona eno,

eeza okutuuka kuwuene.”†

28 Ku okulowa okwa waalowa amangʼana amalootu aga waalanziziwua, waawa awazigu awa Katonda. Kuno kwagera inywe awatari Awayaudi mutuukra iwaga eria okuwurra amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda. Ni ku owulowozi, Katonda akiagonziizie Awayaudi ku endagano eya yakola ni waaguukwa waawu.

29 Ni kutio aeniki, Katonda na aeere awantu empanwa kandi na aetre awantu waaze wamukorre, ngagalusia amaingirizio gaae, yaaya.* 30 Inywe awatari Awayaudi, kale mwona ngamukakolanga okuagala okwa Katonda. Ni Katonda yawasaasra aeniki Awayaudi waalowa okukola okuagala kwae. 31 Mu engira efwanani eyo, owungi owua Awaisraeli nyingeeno ngawakola okuagala okwa Katonda, kugere woona Katonda awasasre aeniki mwona yawasaasra. 32 Katonda yagera awantu woona (Awaisraeli na awatari Awaisraeli) wawa ki awasiwe awa owuoni, awatakola okuagala kwae.

Omukristo asugaane akorre Katonda mu engira empia

1 Kutio waamwifu, nikulondokana na amasaasra amangi aga Katonda amiire okutuambra, mbaisasaama mbwe mufumizie Katonda emiwiri giinyu* giwe ki omusango omulamu kandi omweru ogwa Katonda asangaala nagwo. Eyo nie engira endamu eya musugaane mukorre nayo Katonda.* 2 Mutagia emberi okulonda enkola ezia awantu awa ekialo, ni mureke Katonda agalusie owulamu wuinyu na awa-aa amaingirizio amayia. Ekio kiiza okugera mumanye engira eya okugeezaania kandi okugawula ewintu ewia Katonda aagala mbwe mukole, ewintu ewisugre emberi waae kandi ewia asangaarre nawio.* 3 Kutio ku emirimo egia owutumwa egia Katonda amiire okumpa ku owusiza wuae, ndaga omuntu ki omuntu ku inywe mbwe omuntu ataaza yaingirizia mbwe ari kungulu okukira kiomo ari. Ni mu amaingirizio giinyu musugaane muiwone mu engira endootu, owuagani no okuganya okwa Katonda aeere omuntu ki omuntu.* 4 Kuri mala kiomo omuwiri ogwa omuntu guri ne ewiimo ewingi, kandi ekiimo ki ekiimo kiri no omurimo gwakio. 5 Nintio lwona turi omuwiri omulala oguri ne ewiimo ewingi ewikola alala, ifwe awari ku *Kristo kukawa mbwe turi awantu awangi.* 6 Turi ne empanwa ezigawuke-gawuuke, nikulondokana no owusiza owua Katonda aeere omuntu ki omuntu. No omuntu aeerwe empanwa eya okugamba amangʼana agaemere ku Katonda, asugaane agambe owuagani no okuganya okwa ari nakwo. 7 Ni kuri okukorra awandi emirimo, asugaane akole emirimo no omwoyo gwae gwona. Ni, ni kuri okugerera, ka-agerere geeza. 8 Lwona ni kuri mbwe omuntu aeerwe empanwa eya okuambia awiina waae amaani, reka a-ambie awantu amaani. Oeerwe okuesania ewintu ku awataka, reka akole otio no omwoyo gwae gwona. Oeerwe okukangatra awandi, ka-akole otio na amaani gaae goona. Lwona ni kuri mbwe omuntu aeerwe empanwa eya okulagana owusiza ku awandi, ka-akole otio no owusangaavu.*

9 Olugonzi lwinyu ku awantu paka luwe olugonzi oluri kuwuene. Murege ewintu ewiwiiwi, ni muande ku ewintu ewilootu.* 10 Muwe no olugonzi agati iinyu ki awada ku Kristo, kandi omuntu ki omuntu awe mbwe ni iye osooka okutoola omwina waae ki osugre okueewua owuti okumukira iye omwene.* 11 Muwe awantu awakalangufu mu emirimo, awatari awendeevu. Ni mukorre *Omwami Yesu kandi no *Omwoyo Omweru aema mu emioyo giinyu ki omurro. 12 Muwe awusangaavu okurindirra ewia Katonda awateeriire emberi, awooreevu namba mu eminyako-nyaako kandi awasawa Katonda enyinga ziona.* 13 Mugawire awantu awa Katonda awawula nawio ewintu wiinyu, kandi muwe awantu awagonziizie okuingizia awageni mu emigizi giinyu.* 14 Musereke awawaingizia mu eminyako-nyaako ku okuganya okwa muri nakwo ku Kristo. Mutawafuuwa yaaya, ni muwasereke.* 15 Musangaale na awantu awasangaarre, ni murre na awarra.* 16 Mumenye no owuolu na awiina wiinyu. Mutaitumbula, ni muwe owuyanga okuwa mu owulala na awantu awari ansi. Mutaaza mwaitoola mbwe muri awaganga.* 17 Otaaza waoloola omuntu okukoriire uwiiwi no okumukorra uwiiwi oona. Wona mbwe okola ewintu ewia awantu woona waganyire nawio mbwe wilootu.* 18 Ku oluwega lwao, kola wukalu na amaani gaao goona kiomo kuesekana, owone mbwe omenyere na awantu woona no owuolu.* 19 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, no omuntu awakoriire uwiiwi, mutaaza mwamuoloola no okuwakorra uwiiwi mwona. Ni murekere Katonda iwaga awe mbwe nio omuoloola ku owuwi owua awakoriire. Aeniki kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe,

“Omwami Katonda awoola otino,

‘Inze ni inze ooza okuwaoloola ku ewintu ewiwiiwi ewia wakola.

Kandi kuwuene nyiza okuwaoloola.’† ”*

20 Ni musugaane mukole kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe,

“No omuzigu waao awurra enzala, mu-ee okuria arie.

Lwona na awurra owulwo, mu-ee amanzi anywe.

No omukoriire otio, aaza okufwa ne ensuuko.”†*

21 Mutaaza mwaganya owuoni wuawakira, ni mukire owuoni ne enkola endootu.

Omukristo paka alondokane no okuagala okwa esirikaali

1 Omuntu ki omuntu paka awurre awakangasi awa ekialo, aeniki wuwulao owukangasi owuesa wuawaao ni Katonda ataganyire. Katonda nio oteereo owukangasi ki owukangasi owuri mu ekialo kiona.* 2 Kutio omuntu-umuntu olowa nakuwa olwania owukangasi owuriko, alowa nakuwa alwania ekintu ekia Katonda omwene nio oteereo. Kandi awakola otio, waireetako ekiina aweene. 3 Aeniki awakangasi ngawatiisia awantu awa enkola endootu, ni watiisia mala awantu awa enkola embiiwi. Mberi oagala okuwa owuyanga aa owula ekikagera otie awari mu owukangasi? Kane kolako ewintu ewilootu wiengʼene, no otaaza okuwona ni wakugamba-gambako geeza.* 4 Kuri kutio aeniki omukangasi ari *omukurumu owa Katonda, owa ateereo okuwatunzia. No omuntu omwoni paka amutie, aeniki kuwuene omukangasi aeerwe amaani aga okuswawuka awooni. Ari omukurumu owa Katonda omuimereere ku ekialo kino, owona mbwe awooni wakoriirwe wululu owusugre ne enkola ziawu. 5 Kutio paka muwurre awakangasi wiinyu. Kandi mutakola otio mbwe aeniki mutiire okuswawukwa kwengʼene, ni aeniki mumanyire mu emioyo giinyu egia munsi mbwe okwo nikwo okulootu. 6 Kino kiona nikio ekigera ni mufumia *omusolo, aeniki awakangasi wari awemirimo awa Katonda awatoola enyinga ziawu ziona okukola emirimo egia owukangasi. 7 Mutuusie ewia awakangasi wiinyu woona wawaagalako. No ori no omusango ogwa okufumia omusolo, oloola. Mu-ee owuti awantu awa musugaane mu-ee owuti, kandi awa musugaane mu-ee owunene, mu-ee owunene.**

Olugonzi lutuusia okuagala okwa Katonda

8 Mutaaza mwaikala no omusango ogwa omuntu omwina iinyu. No omusango ogwa musugaane muwe nagwo na awiina wiinyu enyinga ziona, no omusango ogwa okuwa no olugonzi nawo. Aeniki omuntu ogonziizie omuntu omwina waae, atuusia *ensikirra eya Muusa. 9 Ensikirra eziwoola zitino, “Otasooda, otaita, otaiwa ekintu ekia omwene, otaagala ekia owundi kiwe ekiao,”† ne ensikirra zindi ziona ezigawuuke ne ezio, ziitunguuke ku ensikirra endala ewoola etino, “Gonzia omwina waao kiomo oigonziizie iwue omwene.”†* 10 No omuntu agonziizie omwina waae, ngamukorra uwiiwi. Kutio olugonzi nilwo olutuusia ensikirra ezia Katonda ziona.**

11 Mukole mutio, ni mumanyire geeza amiire agaturimo gano. Enyinga zimiire okutuuka ezia musugaane mulamuke mueme mu endoolo, aeniki enyinga ezia Katonda aaza okutununurramo nyingeeno zimiire okuwa ampi okukira kiomo kwawanga olwa twata okuganya kwifu ku *Omwami Yesu. 12 Engʼamba emiire okukewa kandi owuire wuri ampi okukia.

Mutawa mu emigomo egia owuwuzro owumwamu lwona mutadungʼa. Mutasooda, lwona muwe ale ne enkola embiiwi ezia embwa. Mutalwana kandi mutawa ni iyari na awantu.* 14 Ni muiwoye no Omwami Yesu *Kristo, kandi mutata amaingirizio giinyu ku engira ezia okutuusia okuagala okuwiiwi okwa omuwiri.

Otakengera wamwinyu ku Kristo ekiina

1 Muingizie awantu awari no okuganya okunyowu-nyoowu ni mutawakengeere ekiina ku ewintu ewia waingirizia mbwe wilootu nakuwa wiwiiwi okukola. 2 Okuganya okwa omuntu omulala kumuganyira okuria ewiokuria wiona. No owundi ori no okuganya okunyowu-nyoowu, iye aria mala amavwa gengʼene, aa enyama nga-ambako. 3 Omuntu oria ewiokuria wiona ngasugaane arege omwina waae otakola otio. Lwona omuntu ozirre ewiokuria windi, atakengra omuntu oria ewiokuria wiona ekiina ki okola uwiiwi emberi wa Katonda, aeniki Katonda aganyire nae. 4 Iwue ori anu, okengera owemirimo owa omuntu wundi omusaasa ekiina? Omukangasi waae omwene nio ooza okukenga ekiina omwene mbwe agia geeza nakuwa agia uwiiwi. Ne ekia omanye, ni mbwe aaza okugia geeza aeniki *Omwami Yesu ari na amaani aga okugera agie geeza.

5 Mu engira efwanani, omuntu omulala aesa yalowola owuire owulala mbwe niwuo owueru okukira amiire gandi, ni ku owundi, amiire goona gafwanana. Ku ekingʼana kino omuntu ki omuntu asugaane aisimbiire ku ekintu ekia aingirizia mu omwoyo gwae mbwe kiri ekilootu okukola.* 6 Otoorre owuire wulala ki owueru okukira amiire gandi goona, akola otio oku-aa Omwami Katonda owuti. Omuntu oria ewiokuria wiona oona akola otio oku-aa Katonda owuti, kandi otaria ewiokuria windi oona akola otio oku-aa Omwami Katonda owuti, aeniki woona waikazia Katonda.* 7 Ni kutio aeniki awulao ku ifwe omuntu omenyere owulamu owumuambre mala iye omwene, nakuwa awulao omuntu ofwa olumbe olumuambre mala iye omwene. 8 Okwo kuri kuwuene aeniki okuwa kwifu awalamu turi awalamu oku-aa Omwami Yesu owunene, lwona ni tufwire, tugia okuwa no Omwami Yesu. Kutio ni turi awalamu namba ni tufwire, turi awa Omwami Yesu. 9 Kino nikio ekiagera ni *Kristo afwa, airana awa omulamu kandi, kugere awe Omwami owa awalamu alala na awafu.* 10 Katio ekigera ni iwue okengera wamwinyu ku Kristo ekiina niki? Kusi ekigera ni iwue orega omwina waao niki? Aeniki twona tuuza okuimerra emberi wa Katonda, ku entewe yaae eya aikalako na akengera awantu ekiina!* 11 Mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe:

“Inze Omwami Katonda, nyiifuuwa ntino,

12 Kutio omuntu ki omuntu ku ifwe ari-irania Katonda ku ewintu wiona ewia yakola ne ekigera ni yawikola.*

Otata ekigazio emberi wa wamwinyu ku Kristo

13 Kutio paka tureke okukengerana ekiina aweene. Aa okukola otio, osugaane okenge mu omwoyo gwao mbwe ngooza okuteera wamwinyu ku Kristo ekigazio ku engira yaae, ekiiza kiamugwisia mu owuoni.* 14 Inze ki ori mu owulala no Omwami Yesu, manyire kandi ndi no owuene mbwe ewiokuria wiona wieru, aa wuwulao owuwi ni wiriirwe. Ni, no omuntu awona okuria kundi mbwe kumwamu emberi wa Katonda, ku omuntu oyo okuria okwo ngakweru.* 15 Kandi no okuria okwa oria kugera omwina waao na awurra uwiiwi, ao katio owula nae no olugonzi. Otaaza waona owulamu owua wamwinyu owa Yesu yafwira, ku ewiokuria ewia oria.* 16 Kutio otagera awantu wagambe-gambe ku ekintu ekia otoorre ki ekilootu kiao mbwe kiwiiwi. 17 Aeniki okuwa mu *Owuami owua Katonda ngawuambaane na amangʼana aga ewintu ewiriiwua nakuwa ewinywewua, yaaya. Ne ekineene no owuigolovu, owuolu no owusangaavu owuezaniwua no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.* 18 Kuri kutio aeniki omuntu-umuntu okorra Kristo mu engira eno asangaazia Katonda ino, kandi awantu wandi woona waaza okuganyana nae. 19 Kutio tusugaane tukole wukalu tuwone mbwe enyinga ziona tukola mala ewintu ewigera twawa no owuolu agati iifu kandi ewiomerezia omuntu no omwina waae.

20 Amangʼana aga ewiokuria gataaza gagera muone emirimo egia Katonda amiire okukola. Kuwuene ewiokuria wiona wieru, ni ne ekintu ekiwiiwi ino omuntu okuria okuria okugera no omwina waae aiguunya. 21 Kutio kulootu ino no otariire enyama nakuwa no otanywere amalwa namba no otakorre ekintu-ukintu ekiesa kiaguunya omwoyo ogwa omwina waao mala yagwa mu owuoni.* 22 Reka okuganya okwa ori nakwo ku ewintu wino kuwe agati yaao omwene ni Katonda. Ne ensereki ino ku omuntu okola ewintu ewia aganyana nawio kandi ewia ataikengra ekiina iye omwene. 23 No omuntu oria ewintu ewia omwoyo gwae ogwa munsi guwona mbwe ngasugaane arie, omuntu oyo akorre uwiiwi emberi wa Katonda, aeniki ariire ekintu ekia omwoyo gwae ngagukaganya mbwe kulootu na ariire. Ni kutio aeniki no okorre ekintu-ukintu ekia otaganyire nakio mbwe kilootu, ao okorre owuoni.

1 Ifwe awantu awakalangufu mu okuganya ku *Kristo, tusugaane tu-ee awiina wiifu awakiari no okuganya okunyowu-nyoowu iwaga mu owudewenyu wuawu. Ngakusugaane kuwe mbwe tukola mala ewintu ewituomerezia ifwe aweene, yaaya.* 2 No omulala ki omulala ku ifwe asugaane asangaazie Awakristo awiina waae, ku okuwakorra ewintu ewiwatunzia okukoma mu okuganya kwawu ku Katonda.* 3 Aeniki Kristo oona ngakaisangaazia mala iye omwene, ni mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano otino, “Amanyego aga waakunyega nago goona gangwiriirako.”† 4 Ewintu wiona ewiajojwa mu endagano wiajojwa mbwe witugerere. Amangʼana gano gatuambia amaani kandi gagera ni tuwa no olutuunyo kugere tuwe no omwoyo ogwa okurindirra okutuukra ewintu ewia Katonda yatuifuuwira.* 5 No okusawa kwange mbwe Katonda ngʼina olutuunyo kandi oambia awantu amaani, awa-ee emioyo egia owulala agati iinyu aweene, ni mulonda Yesu Kristo.* 6 Okwo kuuza okugera inywe mwona alala, mutondowole Katonda kandi Swawu *Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo, ni muri no omwoyo omulala. 7 Kutio muganye okuingizia awiina wiinyu mala kiomo Kristo oona yawaingizia mwona. Okwo ku-aa eriina eria Omwami Katonda owunene. 8 Mbalaga mbwe Kristo yaikola owemirimo owa *Awayaudi okulagana mbwe Katonda ngagaluka ku ekintu ekia amiire okuwoola kuwuene. Ao otio yatuusianga ekia Katonda yaifuuwira waaguukwa waawu.* 9 Lwona yakola otio kugere awatari Awayaudi watondowole Katonda ku amagongi gaae ku iwo, mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe:

“Kutio nyiza okukutondowola agati ya awatari Awayaudi.

Kandi nyiza okukuembra enyembo ezitondowola eriina riao.”†*

10 Endagano ewoola kandi etino,

“Inywe awatari Awayaudi,

11 Kandi ewoola etino:

“Inywe mwona awatari Awayaudi, mutondowole Katonda;

awantu awaema mu enganda ziona, mumutondowole.”†

12 Isaaya yoona awoola otino:

“Omuizukulu owa Yeese aaza okuuza;

omuntu ooza okufuma okukangatra awatari Awayaudi.

Kandi awatari Awayaudi woona waaza okuta emioyo giawu giona ku iye.”†

13 No okusawa kwange mbwe Katonda oesana omwoyo ogwa okurindirra, awaizuzie ne ekisangaalo no owuolu ni kuwitra mu okuganya kwinyu ku iye. Okwo kuuza okugera okurindirra kwinyu kuisonge ino, ni kuwitra ku amaani aga *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.

Ekigera ni Paulo ajoja ebaruwa eno no owusiani

14 Waamwifu, inze omwene manyire geeza mbwe muri awantu awaizuule du ne enkola endootu kandi muri na amagezi agasugre, lwona mbwe muesa mwaigerera inywe aweene geeza. 15 Ni kukawa kutio, mbajojeere no owusiani ino mu ebaruwa eno ku ewintu windi kugere mbaizurizie, aeniki Katonda nio ompeere owusiza owua 16 okuwa *omukurumu owa Yesu Kristo otunzia awatari Awayaudi. Nkola emirimo egia owuozia ku okulanzia amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda, kugere awatari Awayaudi wawe ki omusango omulootu ogwa Katonda aganyire nagwo, ogwa Omwoyo Omweru atengekeere Katonda.* 17 Kutio ku Yesu Kristo nyesa nyaitumburra emirimo egia amiire okuwa na ampa amaani okorra Katonda. 18 Ngʼanyiza okugamba-gamba ku ekintu-ukintu yaaya, ni mala ku ewia Kristo amiire okukola ni inze. Amiire okureeta awatari Awayaudi okulonda Katonda ni kuwitra ku amangʼana gange ne ewia miire okuwa ni nkola agati yaawu.* 19 Yakola ni inze ewintu wino ni kuwitra ku amaani aga ewilagano na amankono amanene-nene aga Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yampa amaani okukola. Kutio okuemerra Yerusaleemu no ogia-ugia nawuno otuuke Ilirikaamu, miire okulanzizia awantu amangʼana amalootu aga Yesu.* 20 Okuagala kwange amiire goona kumiire okuwa mbwe ndanzizie awantu awa nikwo wasooka okuwurra amangʼana amalootu aga Kristo.

“Awaawanga ni wakiari okulagwa amangʼana ku iye, waaza okuwona

Omupango ogwa Paulo okugia Rooma

22 Kino nikio ekintu ekimiire okuweerao ni kindowera okuwaazako. 23 Ni nyingeeno mpano katio miire okumala emirimo giange oluwega luno. Ni lwona, miire okuwaao ni nyagala ino okuwaazako mbawone eyo ku emiaka emingi. 24 Kutio nyingeeno ndi no omupango ogwa okukola otio ni ngia Speeni.

27 Waawona owusangaavu okukola otio. Ni, ni tuwoola kuwuene kwawanigirizia mbwe wakole otio. Mala kiomo ensereki ezia owulamu ziaemera awatari Awayaudi ku Awayaudi, nintio woona kuwaweera omusango okugawira Awayaudi oluwaala olwa owunyazi owua Katonda awasereeke nawuo.* 28 Kutio ni nyiza okumala emirimo egia okuwatuusizia ewintu na amasendi agasoloziiwue gano, nyiza okufuma Yerusaleemu, mbite mbawone ni ngia Speeni. 29 Manyire mbwe nyiza okuwaazako ne ensereki enyingi ino eziama ku Kristo.

1 Ni inze Paulo, owaetwa okuwa *omutumwa owa Yesu *Kristo ku okuagala okwa Katonda, ni ndi alala ni wamwifu Sositheneesi.* 2 Mbajojera ebaruwa eno inywe awantu awa ekaniisa eya Katonda ekiri ku omugizi ogwa Korintho, awantu awamiire okueruyiwua ku Yesu Kristo kandi awaeterwe okumenya owulamu owutengeekwe emberi wa Katonda, alala na awantu woona asi-uasi aa wari, awaeta eriina aria *Omwami Yesu Kristo ori Omwami waawu no Omwami iifu twona.*

3 Muwe no owusiza no owuolu owuema ku Soifu Katonda alala no Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo.

Paulo aikazia Katonda ku Awakorintho

4 Nyiranizia Katonda otioo enyinga ziona ku inywe aeniki amiire okuwa-aa owusiza wuae ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo. 5 Aeniki mu okuwa kwinyu mu owulala ni Yesu Kristo, Katonda amiire okuwa-aa ensereki mu engira ziona, mu okugamba-gamba kwinyu kugia mu okumanya okwa mumanyire nakwo ewintu ewia omwoyo.* 6 Ensereki zino ziri ekilago mbwe amangʼana aga twawalaga ku Yesu Kristo gari ne ensimbiiro ku inywe. 7 Kutio ewulao empanwa eya mu omwoyo namba endala eya mutakaaye ni murindirra okusasulwa okwa Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo.* 8 Kristo omwene aaza okuwarinda ni muri awakalangufu mu amiire goona aga owulamu wuinyu, kugere muwe aweeru awawulako embala, *Owuire owua Omwami Yesu Kristo arikengra awantu ekiina.* 9 Katonda owawaeta muwe mu owulala no Omuzia waae Yesu Kristo Omwami iifu, arindre endagano yaae.*

Okugawukana kuweere mu ekaniisa

10 Waamwifu, mbisasaamre mwona ku eriina eria Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo mbwe omuntu ki omuntu awe ne empurizanio no omwina waae kugere engawuzi zitaaza ziawa agati iinyu, kandi mbwe muwe awantu awa-ambaane ti mu amaingirizio no okuagala kwinyu.* 11 Waamwifu, wario awantu awa mu enyumba eya Kloe, awandetiire amangʼana mbwe zirio ensoolo agati iinyu.* 12 Ekia mboola kiri kitino: Wario awandi ku inywe awawoola mbwe, “Inze ndonda Paulo,” na awandi mbwe, “Inze ndonda Apolo,” na awandi mbwe, “Inze ndonda *Keefa” na awandi woona wawoola mbwe, “Inze ndonda Kristo.”* 13 Mbawuuzia, Kristo ono mumugawuule kameka? Paulo yoona *yawambwa ku omusalaaba ku amawi giinyu? Kusi mwabatiiswa ku eriina eria Paulo?* 14 Ndi no owusangaavu mbwe awulao-uwula omuntu ku inywe owanyabatiisa ogawuuke ni Krispaasi ni Gaayo.* 15 Kutio awulao omuntu oesa okuwoola mbwe mwabatiiswa ku eriina riange. 16 (Ee, nganyire mbwe lwona ni inze owabatiisa awantu awa mu enyumba eya Stefaano. No owugawuuke nawo, nampingirizia mbwe ario omuntu wundi owanyabatiisa kandi.)* 17 Aeniki Kristo ngakantuma okugia okubatiisa awantu yaaya, ni yantuma okugia okulanzia *injiili. Kandi ngʼankola otio na amaganga aga omuntu yaaya, aeniki okwo kukagera *omusalaaba ogwa Kristo guwule na amaani.

Amaganga aga Katonda gagawuuke na aga ekialo

18 Amangʼana aga okufwa okwa Yesu ku omusalaaba, no owumaya ku awantu awateeka, ni ku ifwe awanunulwa gari amaani aga Katonda.* 19 Kuri mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano otino:

“Nyiza okuona amagezi aga awantu awaingirizia mbwe wari wagezi,

kandi amaganga aga awaganga nyiza okugera gawule ne emirimo.”†

20 Katonda nio omiire okugera amagezi aga ku ekialo kuno goona gawa owumaya. Kutio awagezi wari? Nakuwa *awagerezi awa endagirra wariai? Kusi awagambageeza wari?* 21 Aeniki Katonda, ku amaganga gaae omwene, yagera awantu awa ekialo okumumanya na amaganga gaawu aweene kiwa ekintu ekitaesekana. Ni kwamuomerezia okukola na amangʼana agatulanzia aga awantu waeta mbwe owumaya gano, okununula awantu awaganyire ku Yesu.* 22 *Awayaudi iwo waagalanga mbwe wawone amankono, na awantu awatari Awayaudi iwo waagalanga amaganga,* 23 ni ifwe tulanzia Kristo owawambwa ku omusalaaba. Ku Awayaudi amangʼana agatulanzia gano gafwana iwaale eriwaguunya, ni ku awantu awatari Awayaudi gari owumaya.* 24 Ni ku Awayaudi alala na awatari Awayaudi awa Katonda yaeta, Kristo ari amaani kandi amaganga aga Katonda. 25 Aeniki owumaya owua Katonda wukirre amaganga aga omuntu ale kandi owugata owua Katonda, wukirre owukalangufu owua omuntu ale.*

26 Waamwifu, muingirizieko kiomo mwawanga olwa mwaetwa. Mberi mumanyire mbwe nikulondokana ni kiomo awantu wawona ewintu, owungi wuinyu ngamukawanga awantu awagezi yaaya, lwona ngamukawanga awantu awari na amaani namba awaaiwulwa mu emigizi eminyazi. 27 Ni Katonda yalowola ewintu ewia awantu waeta mbwe owumaya ewio, okusuusia awantu awaieta mbwe wari awaganga. Lwona yalowola ewintu ewia awantu waeta mbwe wigata kandi ewiwula amaani, okusuusia awantu awaieta mbwe wari awakalangufu kandi awari na amaani. 28 Katonda alowola okukola ne ewintu ewiri ansi kandi ewia awantu awa ekialo waregere ki ewintu ewiwula emirimo, okusuusia ewintu ewia awantu watoorre ki ewintu ewinene,* 29 kugere omuntu-umuntu ataaza yaitumbula emberi wa Katonda.* 30 Katonda nio owagera ni muwa ku Kristo, Kristo ori amagezi giifu agaemere ku Katonda kuwuene. Ee, ni iye owuigolovu wuifu, okumenya kwifu owulamu owutengeekwe kandi nio awatuoloorra omusango kugere tuwe awantu awa Katonda. 31 Kutio kuri mala kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe, “No omuntu aagala okuitumbula, asugaane aitumbule ku Omwami Katonda.”†*

1 Waamwifu ku *Kristo, olwa nyawaazako okuwalanzizia amangʼana aga Katonda, ngʼankakola na amangʼana amakalu-kalu namba agalagana amaganga agari kungulu, yaaya. 2 Aeniki nyawisia mu omwoyo gwange okuwagerera mala ku Yesu Kristo no *okuwambwa kwae ku omusalaaba, kwengʼene.* 3 Ni nyawanga agati iinyu, nyawanga omunyowu-nyoowu, omuti kandi omuadadu.* 4 Okugerera no okulanzia kwange, kwawulangamo amangʼana agalagana amaganga aga ekialo kandi agakulula awantu yaaya, na amaani aga *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda nigo agaalaganiwuamo.* 5 Nyakola otio kugere okuganya kwinyu kutaaza kwaisigika ku amaganga aga omuntu yaaya, ni kuisigike ku amaani aga Katonda.

6 Kukawa kutio, ni tugamba-gamba na awantu awa okuganya kwawu ku Kristo kumiire okukoma, tukola na amangʼana agari na amaganga. Ni ngʼana amaganga aga ekialo kino namba aga awakangasi awa ekialo awaaza okuwita waemeo wano. 7 Yaaya, ifwe tugamba-gamba ku amaganga aga Katonda agamiire okuwa ni gaiwisiire awantu kandi aga Katonda yatuteerao kale ne ekialo kikiari okulukwa kugere atu-ee owunene.* 8 Awulao namba omulala ku awaami awa ekialo kino owaamanya amaganga gano, aeniki wagamanyeko, kangato ngawakawamba Omwami iifu ori no owunene ku *omusalaaba. 9 Kukawa kutio, mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe:

“Awulao omiire okuwona

awulao omiire okuwurra

omutwe gukiari okuingirizia

ekintu ekia Katonda amiire okuikazizia awantu awamugonziizie.”†

10 Ni ifwe Katonda amiire okukitusanukurra ni kuwita ku Omwoyo gwae Omweru.

Omwoyo Omweru iye aagarizia ekintu-ukintu nawuno yakimanya. Ee namba ewintu ewia Katonda ewiri munsi-munsi. 11 Okamanya ekia omuntu aingirizia ogawuuke no omwoyo gwae omwene ogumumenyeremo, naanu? Mu engira endala eyo, awulao omuntu omanyire amaingirizio aga Katonda ogawuuke no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda. 12 Ngatukatuukra omwoyo oguema ku ekialo, ni twatuukra Omwoyo Omweru oguema ku Katonda, kugere tumanye ewintu ewia Katonda amiire okutu-aa wusa, ku okuagala kwae omwene.* 13 Kino nikio ekia tulaga awantu. Ngʼatukola otio na amangʼana agaema ku amaganga aga omuntu yaaya, ni na amangʼana aga tugererwa no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda. Tulagana owuene owua amangʼana aga Katonda ku awantu awari no Omwoyo ogwa Katonda. 14 Omuntu owula no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, ngaingizia amangʼana agaema ku Omwoyo ogwa Katonda, aeniki agawona ki amangʼana aga owumaya kandi ngaesa okugawurra aeniki amangʼana ago Omwoyo ogwa Katonda engʼene nio okagera omuntu amanye ekia galagana. 15 Omuntu ori no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda iye aesa okukenga ekiina ku ewintu wiona, ni iye omwene awulao omuntu owula no Omwoyo Omweru oesa okumukengera ekiina, yaaya. 16 Kuri mala kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe,

“Omanyire amaingirizio aga *Omwami Katonda

okamulaga ekia asugaane akole, naanu?”†

Ni ifwe tuesa okuwurra amangʼana gano aeniki turi na amaingirizio aga Kristo.*

Engawuzi ngazisugaane ziwe mu ekaniisa

1 Waamwifu, inze ni nyawanga ni inywe, nganyakaesanga okuwagerera ki awantu awalondokana ne ekia Omwoyo ogwa Katonda aagala yaaya, ni ki awantu awamenyere ki awantu awa ekialo, kandi ki awaana awakiari ewingʼengʼe ku *Kristo. 2 Kutio ngʼankawa-aa okuria okukalu, ni nyawanywesia mala amaweere aeniki mwawanga ni mukiari okusuga. Ni namba nyingeeno mukiari okusuga yaaya,* 3 aeniki mukiamenyere ki awa ekialo. Ni kuri mbwe ensoolo ne endandulu zikiari agati iinyu, nampao mukiamenyere ki awa ekialo? Kusi nampao mukiari mala ne enkola ezia awantu-uwantu? 4 No omulala ku inywe akiawoola mbwe, “Inze ndonda Paulo,” No owundi mbwe, “Inze ndonda Apolo.” Ao otio nampao mugamba-gamba mala ki awantu-uwantu?* 5 Kusi Apolo ni inze Paulo turiki? Ngaturi mala awemirimo awa *Omwami Yesu yakola nawo kugere muwe no okuganya, nikulondokana ni kiomo omwene yagawira omuntu ki omuntu emirimo giae? 6 Inze nyakomera emwo, Apolo afukirizia amanzi, ni Katonda nio owagera ne emwo emera kandi ne ekoma.* 7 Kutio omuntu okomeere no ofukiriizie amanzi, iwo ngawari ekintu yaaya. Ni, ni Katonda ogera ne omwo emera kandi yakoma nio ori omukaate. 8 Omuntu okomera no omuntu ofukirizia amanzi woona wari ekintu ekilala kandi omulala ki omulala arioloolwa owuagani ne emirimo egia yakola.* 9 Inze ni Apolo tukorra Katonda alala, ni inywe muri ki omusiri ogwa Katonda.

Lwona muri ki enyumba eya Katonda.* 10 No owusiza owua Katonda ampeere, nyataao owulusa ki omuomboki omanyire emirimo giae geeza ino, kandi awantu wandi wawuombokako. No omuomboki ki omuomboki paka awarre geeza kiomo awuombokako. 11 Aeniki awulao omuntu oesa okuomboka owulusa wundi owugawuuke no owumiire okuombokwa, owuri Yesu Kristo.* 12 No omuntu aombooke ku owulusa wuno ne edhaabu, efeedha, amawaale aga iguzi eria kungulu, namba ni ibaawu, owusuwi na amakwati, 13 emirimo giae giiza okumanywa geeza. Ee, aeniki owuire owua owutuuko, ewintu wiona wiriteewua ku owueru kandi emirimo egia omuntu ki omuntu girigeezaniwua no omurro kugere gimanyike mbwe gifwanana gitie. 14 Ekintu ekia omuntu aombooke ni kikirre omurro okusamba, arioloolwa omugawo gwae. 15 Ni, ni kiyiire mu omurro, omuntu oyo ariemao wusa. Omwene arinunulwa, ni mala ki omuntu omizuuke amakono amasa chee, okuema mu enyumba eyia.**

16 Mberi mumanyire mbwe inywe muri *ekaalu eya Katonda kandi mbwe *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda awamenyeremo?* 17 No omuntu aonere ekaalu eya Katonda, Katonda omwene aaza okumuona. Ni kutio aeniki ekaalu eya Katonda eri enzeru, kandi inywe ni inywe ekaalu eyo.

18 Omuntu ataaza yaisemerezia! Na ario omuntu ku inywe oingirizia mbwe ari omuganga, mu engira eya awa ekialo wawona owuganga, asugaane ate amaganga ki ago entulo awe omumaya, nikwo awe omuganga kuwuene.* 19 Kuri kutio aeniki amaganga aga ekialo kino no owumaya mu amiiso aga Katonda. Kuri mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe, “Katonda a-amba awaganga mu owuganga-ganga wuawu,”†* 20 kandi ewoola mbwe, “Omwami Katonda amanyire mbwe amaingirizio aga awaganga gawula ne emirimo.”† 21 Kutio okuitumbula mbwe iwue ori owa omuntu wundi kuwula ni iwaga kandi ngakusugaane yaaya, aeniki ewintu wiona wiri ewiinyu. 22 Ee, mumiire okutuukra owuitunzi okuema ku Paulo, Apolo alala ni Petro, kandi muri no owukire ku ekialo, ku owulamu namba olumbe, kandi ku amiire aga nyingeeno na amiire agaaza.* 23 Inywe muri awa Kristo, kandi Kristo ari owa Katonda.*

Emirimo egia awatumwa

1 Kutio musugaane mutuwone ki awemirimo awa *Kristo awaeerwe emirimo egia okulaga awantu okuagala okwa Katonda okwawanga ni kuiwisiire awantu.* 2 Kwagalana mbwe awantu awaeerwe emirimo paka waganywe na awantu awawakorra emirimo ki awarindre amangʼana gaawu.* 3 Inze ku emirimo egia mpeerwe, ngakumpambre ni nkengeerwe ekiina ni inywe namba no oluwuga olwa awantu, yaaya. Namba omwene ngʼanyiikengra ekiina yaaya. 4 Inze mbula ne ekintu namba ekilala mu omwoyo gwange ekinkira ne ekiina, no okwo ngakulagana mbwe ndi omuntu omweru yaaya. *Omwami Yesu engʼene nio onkengera ekiina.* 5 Kutio mutakengera omuntu ekiina, ni murinde nawuno amiire agaateewuao gatuuke, olwa Omwami omwene arikengra awantu ekiina. Iye nio orisanukula kuwueru ewintu ewiwisirwe mu ekierema kandi arita okuagala okwa omwoyo ogwa omuntu ki omuntu enze ku owueru. Owuire owuo omuntu ki omuntu arituukra okutondowolwa ni Katonda okusugre nae.*

6 Waamwifu, nkorre na amangʼana gano ku inze omwene alala na Apolo okuwatunzia, kugere muigerere ku ifwe ekia olugero oluwoola mbwe, “Otatambuka amangʼana agajojrwe” lulagana. Ni mukorre mutio, ngamuuza okuitumbula no omuntu omulala no owundi mulowe yawa. 7 Ogera ni muiwona ki awari kungulu okukira awandi naanu? Kusi ekia ori nakio iwue ekia otaaeewua ni Katonda niki? Ni kuri mbwe waeewua-ueewua, katio ekigera no oitumbula ki omuntu otaaeewua ekia ari nakio niki?*

8 Owuo inywe mumiire okutuukra ewintu ewia muagala wiona kandi mumiire okuwa awanyazi? Mureetre otie okuwa awaami, ni ifwe turi enyima? Kukaweere geeza ni muweere awaami kuwuene kugere twona tuwe awaami alala ni inywe.* 9 Inze mpingirizia mbwe ifwe *awatumwa awa Yesu, ni ifwe Katonda aisiizie ansi owutuukre. Okwo kumiire okulaganwa ku igulu ni ku ekialo kiona, emberi wa *enyankoi na awantu ku okufwananiwua na awantu awakengiirwe ekiina ekia okuitwa enze mu olwanyi.* 10 Tuwonwa ki awantu awamaya aeniki turi no okuganya ku Kristo, ni inywe okuwa kwinyu ku Kristo kugerre ni muiwona ki awari awaganga ino. Ifwe turi awantu awanyowu-nyoowu, ni inywe muiwona ki awari awakalangufu. Inywe mueerwe owuti, ni ifwe awantu waturegere.* 11 Namba nyingeeno tuwula no okuria okwa tukaria namba amanzi aga tukanywa. Tuwula ne enguwo, ewikube wituita kandi tuwula na aa owumenyo. 12 Tukola emirimo wukalu na amakono giifu aweene. No omuntu atufuuwre, ifwe tumusereka. Ni tunyaasiwua, tukola olutuunyo kandi* 13 ni tugamba-gambwako uwiiwi, ifwe tuirania no owuolu. Nawuno nyingeeno tufwananira awantu awa ekialo enyoori eziwula ne emirimo ezirigiziwua enze.*

14 Nambajojera amangʼana gano okuwa-aa ensuuko yaaya, ni mbasiagizia ki awaana wange awa ngonziizie. 15 Kukawa mbwe mu owulamu wuinyu owua Owukristo muesa mwawa na awaimerezi awangi ki omusenye, ni ngamuri ni waasoinyu wangi yaaya. Aeniki ku Kristo, inze ni inze owawa ki soinyu ni kuwitra ku *injiili. 16 Kutio mbaisasaama mbwe mulonde omufwano gwange.* 17 Kandi ekio nikio ekigera ni ntuma Timotheeo ori omuzia wange owa ngonziizie kandi omuntu oambre amangʼana aga Omwami Yesu wukalu, awaazeko eyo. Aaza okuwaizurizia kiomo owulamu wuange ku Kristo wufwanana. Ewintu ewia ngerera awantu asi-uasi mu amakaniisa goona, wiambaane ne ewia nkola mu owulamu wuange.*

18 Wario awandi ku inywe awaitumbula, ki awatamanyire mbwe nyiza okuwaazako eyo. 19 Ni, no Omwami Yesu aganyire, nyiza okuwaazako eyo kuwuangu. Ni miire okuuza, nganyiza okuagarizia nawuno manye mala ewia awantu awaitumbula wano wawoola wiengʼene, ni kugia amaani aga wari nago.* 20 Aeniki *Owuami owua Katonda ngʼawuilagana mala na amangʼana amasa, ni wuilagana na amaani. 21 Ekilootu ku inywe ne ekiriai? Okuwaazako no olukowa, kusi no olugonzi kandi no omwoyo omuteremu?*

Omusoodani asugaane asomosiwue mu owulala owua Awakristo

1 Nzinduuke amasaai ino okuwurra mbwe okuinyonkoonia kuikola agati iinyu, kandi mbwe no okuinyonkoonia okutaikola namba agati ya awantu awatamanyire Katonda. Mbwe, ario omuntu otoorre muka swae ari nae ki mukaae!* 2 Ni kandi mukiaitumbula-uitumbula, ni kangato owululu wukaweere ni wumiire okuwa-amba ne ekiikola ekio, mala musomosie omuntu okola ekintu ekifwana kitio enze eya owulala wuinyu.* 3 Kukawa mbwe ngʼandi ni inywe alala mu omuwiri, mu omwoyo ndi ni inywe mu owulala. Kandi omwene miire okukengera omuntu okorre ekingʼana ekifwana kitio ekiina, mala kiomo nkakorre ni nkaweere eyo ni inywe alala.* 4 Ni muikumiizie alala ku eriina eria *Omwami Yesu, kandi mu omwoyo ni ndi ni inywe mu owulala, amaani aga Omwami iifu Yesu ni gawarimo, 5 mutoole omuntu oyo, mumute mu amakono aga *Sataani kugere omuwiri gwae guonwe, no omwoyo gwae gununulwe *Owuire owua Omwami Yesu ari-irana.*

6 Okuitumbula okwa muitumbula okwo ngakulootu yaaya. Ngamumanyire mbwe omumera omutono guzimbia owusie owungi?* 7 Mutooleo omumera omukulu, muwe awantu aweeru mala kiomo owusie owua omukaati owuwulamo omumera. Kandi kuwuene muri aweeru awawulamo omumera namba omutoono aeniki *Kristo Ekimaatwa kiifu ekia *Pasaaka amiire okufumiwua ki omusango ogutueruyia.** 8 Kutio tutaaza twagomera omugomo ogwa Pasaaka no omukaati ogufumbrwe no omumera omukulu ogwa owuweeyi ne enkola embiiwi yaaya, ni mutugugomere ni turia omukaati oguwulamo omumera ogureeta owueru no okuwa ku owuene.†

9 Nyamala okuwajojera itu ni mbalaga mbwe mutaizogaana na awantu awa enkola embiiwi ezia owusoodani, yaaya. 10 Kusi ni mboola otio, muingirizia mbwe mboola awantu awa ekialo awari awasondo, na awa enda endiire, na awasakuzi namba awasawa katonda ensaasa? Yaaya, ao otio nkafwanaane owagala mbwe mungʼaanye mueme ku ekialo kuno. 11 Ekia nyawoolanga ni mbwe paka mureke okuizogaana no omuntu-umuntu oieta wamwinyu ku Kristo, ni kandi asooda namba ari ne enda endiire, osawa katonda ensaasa, omuwooli owa awantu, omunywi nakuwa omusakuzi oiwa na amagezi. Omuntu ki oyo namba okuria mutaria nae!* 12 Ngʼane emirimo giifu okukengera awantu awari enze eya ekaniisa ekiina! Awantu awari mu ekaniisa wengʼene niwo awa musugaane mukengere ekiina. 13 Katonda omwene nio orikengera awantu awari enze eya ekaniisa ekiina. Endagano ewoola mbwe: “Musomosie mu owulala wuinyu awantu awakola enkola embiiwi agati iinyu.”†*

Okuingirra Omukristo omwina waao

1 No omulala ku inywe ari ne ekiina no Omukristo omwina waae, areeta otie okureka Awakristo mbwe agia okumuingirra ku awantu awatamanyire Katonda mbwe wawagawule? 2 Mberi mumanyire mbwe Awakristo niwo awaaza okukengera ekialo ekiina? Ni, ni kuri mbwe inywe ni inywe awaaza okukengera ekialo ekiina, katio ekiwalowera okukenga ewiina ewitono-tono agati iinyu niki?* 3 Kusi ngamumanyire mbwe ifwe Awakristo ni ifwe awaaza okukengera kugia *enyankoi ekiina? Ni kuri kutio, tuesa okukenga ewiina ewia owulamu wuno geeza owuagana wutie?* 4 Kutio ni muri ne ewiina ewifwana witio, muesa otie okulowola namba awantu awa ekaniisa etaganyre nawo, wawaweere awakengi awa ekiina? 5 Mboola otio okuwasuusia. Kuesekana otie mbwe awulao-uwula chee omuntu omuganga ku inywe oesa okukenga ekiina ekiri agati ya awantu awaganyire ku Katonda? 6 Ni aa okukola otio, omuntu aira Omukristo omwina waae mu ekiina, kandi akola otio emberi wa awantu awawula no okuganya ku Katonda!

7 Ni muingirra awiina wiinyu otio, kulagana kuwuene mbwe mwona mumiire okukirwa chee! Kukaweere kulootu namba ni murekere-ureka awantu wawaonre kandi wawasemerezie, nakuwa wawasakule.* 8 Ni inywe aa okukola otio, kuituukrana mbwe ni inywe awaonera kandi awasemerezia awantu, kandi ni mala waamwinyu ku *Kristo niwo awa mukorra mutio.

9 Ngamumanyire mbwe awantu awa enkola embiiwi iwo wariwula-uwula no omugawo mu *Owuami owua Katonda, chee? Omuntu atawasemerezia yaaya. Namba awasondo, awantu awagonziizie okugia ku owuriri na awakazi nakuwa awasaaza awa awandi, awasawa katonda ensaasa, awasaaza awasoodwa na awasaaza awiina waawu, 10 namba awiiwi, awantu awa enda endiire, awanywi, awanyegani namba awasakuzi woona ngawariwa no omugawo mu Owuami owua Katonda.* 11 Kandi kuluweri, awandi ku inywe nintio mwafwananga. No owuoni wuinyu wuamala okuoziwua, mwateerwa Katonda antulo kandi mwareetwa mu empurizanio nae ku eriina eria *Omwami Yesu Kristo alala no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.*

Omuwiri gwao guri ekaalu eya Katonda

12 Awandi wawoola mbwe, “Endagirra ziifu zituganyiire okukola ekintu-ukintu.” Ee, ni ngʼani mbwe ekintu-ukintu kitunzia omuntu. Kutio omuntu ngasugaane aganye ekintu-ukintu kiwe na amaani ku iye.* 13 Lwona muwoola mbwe, “Enda ne eya okuria kandi okuria no okwa enda.” Ni Katonda aaza okuona ewintu wiwiri wino wiona. Omuwiri ngagukalukrwa owusoodani yaaya, ni guri ogwa Omwami Yesu kandi iye nio osugaane agukangatre.* 14 Katonda yaziusia Omwami Yesu okuema ku awafu, kandi twona aaza okutuziusia na amaani gaae.* 15 Mberi mumanyire mbwe emiwiri giinyu ne ewiimo ewia omuwiri ogwa Kristo omwene? Katio nkatoola otie ewiimo ewia omuwiri ogwa Kristo mbite alala no omusoodani? Nakuesekana yaaya!* 16 Mberi mumanyire mbwe omuntu-umuntu owa no omukazi omusondo owulala, wawa omuwiri omulala nae? Aeniki kwajojwa mbwe “Awantu wawiri awo wawa omuwiri omulala.”† 17 No omuntu oizogaana no Omwami Yesu, awa nae alala mu omwoyo.* 18 Murumuke muwe ale na amawi aga owusoodani. Amawi agasigaale goona aga omuntu akola, agakola enze eya omuwiri gwae. No omuntu okola amawi aga owusoodani, akola amawi agaona omuwiri gwae omwene. 19 Mberi mumanyire mbwe emiwiri giinyu giri *ekaalu eya Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda owamenyeremo? Omwoyo Omweru awarimo kandi ari empanwa ewaemeere ku Katonda. Ngamuri awa inywe aweene yaaya,* 20 ni mwagulwa ku omurengo omukaate. Kutio mu-ee Katonda owunene ne emiwiri giinyu.*

Kuri kulootu no omuntu atakwere. 2 Ni aeniki okugeezaniwua okwa owusondo kuri okungi ino, omusaaza ki omusaaza asugaane awe alala no omukazi waae kandi omukazi ki omukazi yoona awe alala no omusaaza waae.* 3 Omusaaza asugaane akorre omukazi waae ewintu wiona ewia awantu awakwezaane wasugaane wakole, kandi omukazi yoona nintio.* 4 Omuwiri ogwa omukazi naguri ogwae omwene yaaya, no owusookere guri ogwa omusaaza waae nikwo iye, kandi mu engira yazane eyo, omuwiri ogwa omusaaza naguri ogwae omwene, no owusookere guri ogwa omukazi waae nikwo iye. 5 Mutaimana emiwiri giinyu yaaya, ni mukole mala otio ku amiire amatono, aweene ni muganyaane, mu amiire aga muri mu okusawa. Ni, ni mumiire, musugaane kandi muirane muwe alala kugere *Sataani ataaza yawageezaania ku okutawa no okuirinda. 6 Mbalaga amangʼana gano ngʼani ki *ensikirra yaaya, ni ki amaingirizio gange inze omwene. 7 Nkaagaale mbwe awantu awekisaaza woona wawe ki inze. No omuntu ki omuntu ari ne empanwa yaae eya Katonda yamu-aa, omulala eno no owundi eindi.*

8 Ni, ni ngamba-gamba ku awasaaza awafwire na awakazi awafwire, mboola ntino: Kukaweere geeza ni wakaweere kiomo inze ntino. 9 Ni, no owula amaani aga okuirinda omwene, kwa nakuwa okwewue mbenanu aeniki kulootu no omuntu aingiire mu owukwe okukira okuyia no owutima enyinga ziona.*

10 Ku awantu awamiire okukwa iwo mba-aa ensikirra eno (yaaya ngʼani inze, ni no *Omwami Yesu omwene): omukazi ataaza yareka omusaaza waae yaaya. 11 Ni, na amurekere, asugaane aikale-uikala omwene otio atagia amaria, ni kutari kutio airane ku omusaaza waae. Kandi omusaaza yoona ataaza yarumusia omukazi waae yawa.*

12 Ku awantu wandi awasigaale iwo mbalaga otino (ni inze owoola, ngʼani mbwe no Omwami Yesu nio owawoola): no omusaaza oganyire ku *Kristo ari no omukazi owula no okuganya ku Kristo, no omukazi ono aganyire okugia emberi okumenya nae, asugaane agie emberi okumenya-umenya nae, atamurumusia yaaya. 13 Kandi omukazi oganyire ku Kristo ori no omusaaza owula no okuganya ku Kristo yoona ataaza yarekana no omusaaza waae ni kuri mbwe omusaaza oyo aganyire okumenya nae. 14 Kuri kutio aeniki omusaaza owula no okuganya ku Kristo aeruyiwua ku Katonda ni kuwitra ku omukazi waae ori no okuganya, kandi omukazi otari no okuganya ku Katonda yoona aeruyiwua ku Katonda ni kuwitra ku omusaaza waae ori no okuganya. Kuweeko mbwe ngakuri kutio, awaana awa waiwuule ngawakaweere awantu awa Katonda. Ni kiomo kuri, wari awantu awa Katonda.

15 Ni, no omuntu owula no okuganya ku awantu wawiri awo nio owuine mbwe aagala okurekana no omwina waae ori no okuganya, amureke akole-ukola otio. Ao otio omusaaza namba omukazi ori no okuganya ku Kristo kiwulao ekintu ekimusiwre ku enserezi eyo. Ni mutalawira mbwe Katonda atuetere mbwe tumenye na awiina wiifu no owuolu.* 16 Okamanya otie mbwe andi iwue omukazi ori no okuganya, ni iwue ooza wagera omusaaza waao na atuukra owuinunuzi? Namba iwue omusaaza ori no okuganya, okamanya otie mbwe kaoozi ni iwue ooza wagera omukazi waao na atuukra owuinunuzi?*

Owulamu owua Katonda yatueta mbwe tumenye

17 Kukawa kutio, omuntu ki omuntu asugaane aganye okuwa kiomo yawanga olwa Katonda yamueta kandi atoole omugawo ogwa yaeewua no Omwami Yesu. Eno nie endagirra eya nteriire amakaniisa goona. 18 Na ario omuntu owa Katonda yaeta na amiire okuirwa *enyangu, ataaza yaitoolako embala eya okuirwa enyangu. Kandi na ario omuntu owa Katonda yaeta na akiari okuirwa enyangu, ataaza yairwa enyangu.* 19 Aeniki okuirwa enyangu no okutairwa enyangu ngane ekintu yaaya. Ekintu ekineene, no okurinda ensikirra ezia Katonda.* 20 Omuntu ki omuntu asugaane agie emberi okuwa mala kiomo yawanga olwa Katonda yamueta. 21 Mberi Katonda yakueta no ori *omukurumu? Ni kuri kutio, okwo kutakunyaasia omwoyo. Ni, no otuukiire iwaga eria okuwa owuyanga, ni wa owuyanga. 22 Mboola otio aeniki omuntu owawanga omukurumu olwa Katonda yamueta okuwa ku Kristo, awa omuntu ori owuyanga ku Omwami Yesu. Mu engira yazane eyo, omuntu owawanga owuyanga olwa Katonda yamueta okuwa ku Kristo, awa omukurumu owa Kristo.* 23 Mwagulwa ku omurengo ogwa kungulu, kutio mutawa awakurumu awa awantu.* 24 Kutio waamwifu, omuntu ki omuntu asugaane agie emberi okuwa mala kiomo yawanga olwa Katonda yamueta.

Awaala na awakazi awafwire

25 Ni katio ni ngamba-gamba ku awaala awakiari no owugima, mbula ne ensikirra eya Omwami Yesu ampeere, ni mba-aa mala okuingirizia okwange. Muesa okuganya ku amangʼana gange aeniki owusiza owua Omwami Yesu wundimo. 26 Nikulondokana ne eminyako-nyaako egirio nyingeeno, inze mpingirizia mbwe kukaweere geeza ni muweere-uwa kiomo muri mutio.* 27 No ori mbwe omiire okukwa namba okukwewua, mutarekana. Ni no ori mbwe okiari okukwa namba okukwewua, otakwa namba otakwewua. 28 Ni no omuntu akwere, akiari okukola owuoni yaaya, kandi lwona no omwala omugima akwerwe yoona akiari okukola owuoni yaaya. Mumanye mbwe awakwa na awakwewua waaza okuwona eminyako-nyaako egia ku ekialo kuno, ni inywe nyagala mbwe mutawona eminyako-nyaako egio.*

29 Waamwifu ekia mbalaga kiri kitino, owutuuko owua ekialo wuri ampi katio. Okuemera nyingeeno omuntu ori no omukazi asugaane amenye ki owula no omukazi. 30 Awantu awarra wamenye ki awatarra, awasangaarre wamenye ki awatasangaarre kandi awagula ewintu, ewintu ewio wiwafwananre ki ewitari ewiawu ewia okuwiika. 31 Awakola ne ewintu ewia ku ekialo kuno watawiisiwako yaaya aeniki ekialo kino, ne ewintu ewiriko wiiza okuwua chwe.*

32 Awantu awakiari okukwa nganyagala ekintu kiwa-ambe yaaya. Omuntu okiari okukwa iye ekimuambre no Omwami Yesu engʼene, ino-ino kiomo aesa okumusangaazia. 33 No omuntu omiire okukwa, iye ewintu ewingi ewia ekialo wimuambre, ino-ino kiomo aesa okusangaazia omukazi waae* 34 kandi okuagala kwae kuri aa kawiri. No omukazi okiari okukwewua namba omwala okiari omugima, iye ekimuambre na amangʼana aga Omwami Yesu. Ekineene ku iye no okuwa ku Kristo no omwoyo gwae alala no omuwiri gwae. No omukazi omiire okukwewua, iye amangʼana aga ekialo gamuambre, ino-ino kiomo aesa okusangaazia omusaaza waae. 35 Mboola ntino ku owulootu wuinyu ni ntaagala mbwe muwe ne ewikiawa-ambre, ni kugere mute emioyo giinyu giona ku okukorra Omwami Yesu ni mumenyere owulamu owusugre emberi waae.

36 No omuntu aingirizia mbwe akeeyire okuirinda, na ario omwala okiari omugima owa agala okukwa, kandi omwala wazane oyo yoona amiire okutuusia emiaka egia okukwewua, owuwi wuwulao ni wakwezaane. 37 No omuzia awisiizie mu omwoyo gwae omwene mbwe ngagala okukwa omwala owa ya-amba nae owuiko owua enserezi, kandi ni kuri mbwe omwene aesa okugawula ekia asugre okukola, aa awulao omunigirizia okugalusia amaingirizio gaae, atakwa omwala omugima oyo. Omuntu oyo owuwi owua akorre wuwulao. 38 Kutio omuntu okwere omwala omugima akorre geeza, no omuntu otakwere iye akorre geeza okukira.

39 Enserezi esiwa omukazi ku omusaaza, mala no omusaaza akiari omulamu. Ni no omusaaza amiire okufwa, omukazi oyo ari iwaga okukwewua no omusaaza wundi owa omwoyo gwae guagala. No omusaaza oyo paka awe Omukristo.* 40 Ni ku amaingirizio gange inze, omukazi ofwana oyo na aweere-uwa na atakwerwe, akawa geeza okukira. Mboola otio ni manyire mbwe inze noona *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda andimo mala kiomo inywe.

Okuria ewiokuria ewifumiziiwue katonda ensaasa ki omusango

1 Katio ni ngamba-gamba ku amangʼana aga mwajoja ku okuria okukoriirwe katonda ensaasa omusango, mboola ntino: aweene muwoola mbwe, ‘twona turi no okumanya okungi.’ No okumanya okungi okwo kureeta okuitumbula. Olugonzi ni luomboka.* 2 Omuntu oingirizia mbwe amanyire ewintu wiona ku ingʼana rewe, akiari okumanya kiomo asugaane awe mbwe amanyire. 3 No omuntu ogonziizie Katonda, nio owa Katonda amanyire.*

4 Kutio ku okuria okukoriirwe katonda ensaasa omusango, tumanyire geeza mbwe katonda ensaasa nge-emereere ekintu-ukintu ku ekialo kuno, kandi tumanyire mbwe ario Katonda omulala engʼene.* 5 Kutio namba ni wirio ewintu ewietwa katonda ensaasa, kuwe ku ekialo nakuwa ku igulu (kiomo kuri kuwuene mbwe ‘katonda ensaasa’ na ‘awaami’ wari wangi),* 6 ifwe tumanyire mbwe ario Katonda omulala engʼene ori Katonda Ise. Ni iye owa ewintu wiona wiaemako kandi owa turi awalamu okukorra. Kandi Omwami ari omulala engʼene ori Yesu *Kristo owa ewintu wiona wiwitako kandi owa tutuukrako owulamu.*

7 Ngʼani woona awamanyire amangʼana gano, yaaya. Iwo, ku okunala okwa waanala no okusawa katonda ensaasa, enyinga ezia waria ewiokuria ewifumiziiwue katonda ensaasa omusango, kuwafwananra mbwe wasawa katonda ensaasa ezio, kandi emioyo giawu emigata gi-ingirizia mbwe wakola owuoni. 8 No okuria ngakututa ampi ni Katonda, yaaya. Kiwulao ekia tutuukra ni turiire okuria namba ekia tutakaya ni tutakuriire.

9 Kukawa kutio, paka muwone mbwe owuyanga owua muri nawuo wutaweera Omukristo omwina iinyu ori no okuganya okunyowu-nyoowu ekigazio.* 10 Aeniki no omuntu wundi ori no okuganya okunyowu-nyoowu akuwuine iwue ori no okumanya okugera no owa owuyanga okuikala mu *ekaalu eya katonda ensaasa okuria okuria okukoriirwe katonda ensaasa omusango, ngaaza okusianiya mbwe yoona arie ewifumiziiwue katonda ensaasa ki omusango? 11 Katio wamwifu ori no okuganya okunyowu-nyoowu, owa Kristo yafwira ono aoneka ku okumanya okungi okwa ori nakwo kuno. 12 No okoriire waamwinyu owuoni ku okuwaingizia mu okukola ewintu ewia aweene waingirizia mbwe ngawisugaane, ao otio okola owuoni emberi wa Kristo.* 13 Kutio ni kuri mbwe ekia ndia kigera ni wamwifu ku Kristo agwa mu owuoni, nganyiza okuria enyama kandi, kugere ntaaza nyagera agwe mu owuoni.

Paulo asigika okuwa kwae omutumwa owa Yesu

1 Kusi inze ngʼandi owuyanga? Ngʼandi *omutumwa owa *Kristo? Kusi ngʼanyawona Yesu Omwami iifu na amiiso? Nakuwa, inywe ngʼamuri ekia muri ku emirimo egia *Omwami Yesu amiire okukola ni inze? 2 Namba awandi ni watantoola ki omutumwa, kuwuene ku inywe ndi omutumwa!

Ni ifwe tukiari okukola na amaani ago yaaya. Aa okukola otio, ifwe tuganyire okumenya mu engira enkalu efwana otio kugere tutaaza tuaigarra amangʼana amalootu aga Kristo.* 13 Inywe ngamumanyire mbwe awantu awakola emirimo mu *ekaalu waria okuema ku ewintu ewifumiziiwue mu ekaalu, kandi mbwe awantu awakola emirimo mu *isiga eria omusango woona watuukra emigawo giawu okuema ku emisango egifumiziwua ku isiga eria omusango?* 14 Mu engira efwanani, Omwami Yesu yasikirra mbwe awantu awalanzia *injiili wasugaane watuukre ewia waria okuema ku emirimo giawu egia okulanzia injiili.†

15 Ni inze nkiari okukola namba ne endala ku amaani aga ndi nago gano kandi lwona ngʼambajojera itu rino mbwe katio nyagala mbwe ntuukre ewintu ewio, yaaya. Aeniki nganyire namba olumbe lunyite okukira okuteesia ekintu ekigera ni nyitumbula kino.* 16 Kuwuene ndanzia injiili ni mbula ne ekigera ni nkaitumbula, aeniki kunnigirizia mbwe paka ndanzie injiili. Kurimbeera uwiiwi owufwana wutie ni ntalanziizie injiili!* 17 Kuweeko mbwe nkola emirimo egia okulanzia injiili gino ku okuwona kwange omwene, ao otio nkaagaale omugawo. Ni ku oluwaala lwange, ngakuri kutio yaaya. Inze ndaazia injiili ki *omukurumu owa Katonda okola mala emirimo egia ateeriirwe mu amakono okukola. 18 Omugawo gwange guriki katio? Omugawo gwange guri mbwe ni ndanzia injiili, ndanzie wusa aa ntatuukramo ekintu yaaya, kandi kugera ntakola na amaani aga ndi nago ago ni ndanzia injiili.

19 Kukawa mbwe ndi owuyanga otari omukurumu owa omuntu-umuntu, omwene nyita okuwa omukurumu owa awantu woona, kugere ngalusie awantu awangi kiomo kuesekana waganye ku Kristo. 20 Ni ndi agati ya *Awayaudi mba ki Omuyaudi kugere mbagalusie waganye ku Kristo.

24 Mumanyire mbwe mu embiro kukawa mbwe awantu awangi wadiewana, omuntu omulala engʼene nio otuukra omugawo. Kutio rumuka ki omuntu oagala mbwe atuukre omugawo. 25 Awantu awagia okudiewana wasooka wawa no okuigerera okukalu ino, owuire ni wukiari. Wakola watio kugere watuukre ekigudu ekia owuyaayi ekitaaza okuwaao amiire goona. Ni ifwe tukola tutio kugere tuuze tutuukre ekigudu ekia owuyaayi ekiiza okuwaao amiire goona.* 26 Kutio ni ndumuka, ngʼandumuka-urumuka ki otamanyire aa agia, yaaya. Lwona ni nkuba amakondi, ngʼankuba-ukuba ki olwana no omuyaga, yaaya. 27 Ni nkuba omuwiri gwange omwene kugere guwurre amangʼana ki omukurumu, kugere kutaaza kwawa mbwe omugawo gumbitra ni miire okulanzinzia awandi injiili.

Okusawa katonda ensaasa kulowerwe

1 Waamwifu, nyagala muingirizie ewintu ewiaikorra waaguukwa wiifu mu ekeewa mu amiire aga kale. Woona waagenda-genda ni Katonda awalaga engira eya wakalonda na akola ni ire kandi woona waawita mu Enyanza Enzakanyu na amagulu.* 2 Ni kuwitra mu ire ni mu amanzi ago, woona waabatiiswa wawa awalonzi awa Muusa. 3 Woona waaria okuria okulala okwawaemera ku igulu ku Katonda* 4 kandi wanywa amanzi amalala agawaemera ku iwaale eriawalondanga ku amaani aga Katonda. Iwaale riazane riawanga *Kristo.* 5 Kukawa kutio, owungi wuawu ngawakasangaazia Katonda, ekintu ekiagera ni wafwa kandi ne emiwiri giawu gitanyika mu ekeewa.*

6 Ewintu ewiawiikorra wino wiona wiri ewilago ewitusiagizia kugere tutaaza twata emioyo giifu mu okukola ewintu ewiwiiwi kiomo waakola. 7 Kutio mutaaza mwasawa katonda ensaasa kiomo awandi ku iwo waakola mala kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe, “Waaikala ansi okuria no okunywa. Nikuemao waaema watanika okuzinra katonda ensaasa ziawu ezio.”† 8 Natusugaane tukole enkola ezia owusondo kiomo awandi ku iwo waakola, okwagera ni Katonda awaswawuka mala awantu elufu amakumi awiri ni wasatu ku iwo wafwa owuire wulala.* 9 Natusugaane tugeezaanie Omwami kiomo awandi ku iwo waakola okwagera waitwa ne enzoka.* 10 Kandi mutaaza mwawa awantu awangʼongʼoona kiomo awandi ku iwo waakola okwagera waitwa ne *enyankoi.*

11 Ewintu wino wiona wiaikorra Awaisraeli wano kandi wiajojwa kugere witusiagizie ifwe awamenyere mu amiire agari ampi ne entuuko gano.* 12 Kutio ni muingirizia mbwe muri no okuganya okukalangufu, muwe amankaga kugere mutaaza mwagwa.* 13 Kuwulao-uwula okugeezaniwua okumiire okuwaazra okugawuuke no okuuzra awantu wandi, yaaya. Katonda arindre endagano yaae aa ngaaza okuganya okugeezaniwua okuuza kwawakira okuwitamo kuwaazre. Ni, ni mugeezaniwua, aaza okuwa-aa engira eya mukakira nayo.*

14 Kutio awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, murumuke muwe ale no okusawa katonda ensaasa.* 15 Ngamba-gamba ni inywe ki awantu awari na amaganga, kutio mukenge ekiina aweene ku amangʼana aga mbalaga gano. 16 Ni tunywa mu ekikombe ekia tuikazizizia Katonda mu isawo eria Emeesa eya Omwami, tuzogaana twawa alala ku amasaai aga Kristo. Lwona ni tugenyula omukaati twaria mu isawo riazane, tuzogaana twawa ekintu ekilala mu omuwiri ogwa Kristo.* 17 Aeniki omukaati guri omulala, ifwe twona kukawa mbwe turi awangi, tuwa omuwiri omulala aeniki twona turia omukaati omulala ogwo.*

18 Mutooleko Awaisraeli ki omufwano. Awantu awaria ewiokuria ewikoriirwe nawio omusango ku *isiga eria omusango, wawa mu owulala ni Katonda enyinga ezia wakola watio.* 19 Ni mboola otio, namboola mbwe katio omusango ogukoriirwe katonda ensaasa namba katonda ensaasa, wiri ewintu yaaya.* 20 Yawa, emisango egio nagikorrwa Katonda, ni gikorrwa *ewikeeno. Ni inze nanyagala mbwe muwe mu owulala ne ewikeeno. 21 Namuesa okunywera mu ekikombe ekinywerwamo mu isawo eria ewikeeno kandi mwairana mwanywera mu ekikombe ekinywerwamo mu isawo eria Emeesa eya Omwami.* 22 Ni mukorre mutio, muuza mwa-aa *Omwami Yesu iyari. Ni aeniki ngaturi awakalangufu okumukira, ngatusugaane tukole ekintu ekifwana kitio.

Owuyanga owua Omukristo ari nawuo

23 Ee, muwoola mbwe, “Endagirra ziifu zituganyiire okukola ekintu-ukintu.” Ee, ni ngʼani mbwe ewintu wiona witunzia awantu yaaya. Ni muwoola mbwe, “Endagirra ziifu zituganyiire okukola ekintu-ukintu,” muwe no okumanya mbwe ewintu wiona ngawiomerezia.* 24 Awulao omuntu osugaane aagale mala ekilootu kiae kiengʼene, na asugaane aagale ekilootu ekia awandi woona.*

27 No omuntu owa ekialo akuetere okuria omwae, gia-ugia no owuine mbwe wagala okugia kandi orie ekintu-ukintu ekiteerwe emberi waao, no otawuuziizie ekintu ekiesa kiaona omwoyo gwao. 28 Ni, no omuntu aizukire yakulaga mbwe, “Okuria okwa oria kuno no okukoriirwenga katonda ensaasa omusango,” otakuria kugere otunzie omuntu okulagre oyo, omwoyo gwae gutaoneka no okuria okwa oria.* 29 Namboola mbwe ni iwue omwoyo guuza gwaoneka yaaya, ni mboola omuntu okulagre oyo.

Oesa waaiwuuzia mbwe: “Owuyanga owua ndi nawuo okuria ekia mbwine wuteerwa oluwuwi na awawoola mbwe nkola uwiiwi kolaki? 30 Kusi, ni ndia okuria okwa nyiraniziizie Katonda otioo, omuntu wundi areeta otie okunyingira mbwe nkorre uwiiwi?”*

31 Kutio ni munywa namba ni muria, nakuwa ni mukola ekintu-ukintu, muwone mbwe ewintu ewia mukola wiona wi-aa Katonda owunene.* 32 Mutaaza mwagera omuntu yaiguunya, awe *Omuyaudi, omuntu otari Omuyaudi namba ekaniisa eya Katonda* 33 mala kiomo noona nankola ewinyomerezia inze omwene, ni mala ewiomerezia awantu woona, kugere ni kuesekana watuukre owuinunuzi.*

2 Nsangaale ino ni inywe aeniki munyingirizia enyinga ziona kandi ku okuanda okwa muandre nakwo ku engerera eya nyawa-aa. 3 Ni kirio ekintu ekia nyagala mbwe mumanye. Nyagala mumanye mbwe Kristo nio omutwe ogwa awasaaza woona, no omusaaza nio omutwe ogwa omukazi waae, no omutwe ogwa Kristo ni Katonda.* 4 Kutio omusaaza osawa namba ogamba amangʼana aga Katonda na asanikiire omutwe gwae, nalagana owuti ku Kristo, ori omutwe gwae. 5 Kandi omukazi osawa namba ogamba amangʼana aga Katonda na atasanikiire omutwe gwae, nalagana owuti ku omusaaza waae, kandi afwanana no omukazi owa emvwiri ziae ziwegerwe chwe. 6 Omukazi na atasanikiire omutwe gwae, kulootu na awegere emvwiri ziae. Ni aeniki ne ensuuko omukazi okuwa ne emvwiri enyipi namba okuwegwa chwe, asugaane asanikire omutwe gwae. 7 Omusaaza iye nasugaane asanikire omutwe na asawa nakuwa na agamba amangʼana aga Katonda yaaya* aeniki ni iye olagana owa Katonda ari no owunene owua ari nawuo.* 8 Aeniki Katonda ngakaluka omusaaza okuema ku omukazi, ni no omukazi nio owaema ku omusaaza, 9 lwona omusaaza ngakalukrwa omukazi, ni no omukazi nio owalukrwa omusaaza.* 10 Ku amangʼana gano, kandi ku amangʼana aga *enyankoi, omukazi asugaane awe ne ekisanikizio ku omutwe ki ekilago mbwe ari ansi eya amaani aga omusaaza waae.

11 Ni ku awantu awa Katonda, omukazi ngawa kuwuae yawa, omusaaza yoona nintio. 12 Ni kutio aeniki mala kiomo omukazi yaema ku omusaaza, nintio lwona omusaaza aiwulwa no omukazi. Ne ewintu wiona wiema ku Katonda.

13 Mukenge ekiina inywe aweene: Muwona mbwe ne ekintu ekilootu no omukazi asawa Katonda no omutwe gwae gutasanikiirwe? 14 Engira eya ewintu wiri ku ekialo yoona elagana geeza mbwe no omusaaza aweere ne emvwiri endiire zimu-aa ensuuko iye omwene, 15 no omukazi iye okuwa ne emvwiri endiire kugera na aeewua owuti. Emvwiri endiire ezia yaeewua ezio, ziri ezia okumusanikira. 16 Ni na ario omuntu otaganya na amangʼana gano, mboola ti ifwe tuwula ne enkola indi namba amakaniisa aga Katonda, goona gawula ne enkola egawuuke ne eno.

17 Mu okulagirizia okwa nyagala okuwa-aa kuno, nambatondowola yaaya, aeniki okuikumia kwinyu kuona okukira kiomo kutunzia awantu! 18 Owusookere, mpurra mbwe ni muikumiizie alala ki ekaniisa, muwa no okugawukana agati iinyu aweene, kandi ngia ni nganya mbwe nintio mufwanana.* 19 Okugawukana okwo paka kuweeo kugere kulagane geeza awantu awa Katonda aganyire nawo agati iinyu. 20 Mbwe ni muikumia alala, ekia muria ngakiri Isawo eria Omwami yaaya, 21 aeniki enyinga ezia muria, omuntu ki omuntu aazakana okuria okuria kwae aa awulao orinda owundi. Okwo kugera na awandi waemao ne enzala, na awandi ni wadungʼre. 22 Ngamuri ne emigizi giinyu egia musugaane muriemo kandi munywemo? Kusi inywe mutoola ekaniisa eya Katonda wutono kandi musuusia awantu awawula no okuria okwa waria? Mbalageki katio? Muagala mbatondowole ku enkola eyo? Kuwuene nanyesa okukola otio!*

23 Aeniki engerera eya nyatuukra ku *Omwami Yesu, nio eya nyawa-aa: Omwami Yesu, owuire owua yaguziwua, yatoola omukaati 24 kandi olwa yamala okuikazia Katonda, yagugenyula na awoola otino, “Guno no omuwiri gwange oguezaniiwue ku inywe. Mukole mutino ni munyingirizia nagwo.” 25 Mu engira yazane eyo, olwa waamala okuria, yatoola ekikombe ekia edivaai na awoola otino, “Ekikombe kino ne ekia *endagano empia eya amasaai gange. Mukole mutio, mu enyinga ziona ni muganywa, ni munyingirizia nakwo.”** 26 Kutio enyinga ziona ni muria omukaati guno kandi ni munywa okuema mu ekikombe kino, mulanzia okufwa okwa Omwami nawuno airane.

27 Omuntu-umuntu oriire omukaati guno namba onywere mu ekikombe kino mu engira etawurikaane, iye ekiina kimukirre ku okukorra omuwiri na amasaai aga Omwami uwiiwi. 28 Kutio omuntu paka aingirizie geeza iye omwene na akiari okuria omukaati ogwo namba na akiari okunywera mu ekikombe ekio. 29 Ee, aeniki omuntu oria-uria omukaati ogwo kandi onywa-unywa mu ekikombe ekio na ataeere omuwiri ogwa Kristo owuti, iye aireetako ekiina, iye omwene. 30 Ekio nikio ekigera na awangi ku inywe wari awadewenyu kandi awatekere, na awandi wamiire no okufwa. 31 Ni, ni tuikengeere ekiina ifwe aweene, ngatuuza okukengerwa ekiina. 32 No Omwami atukengera ekiina, kandi atuswawuka kugera nyanga olwa owutuuko Katonda atatukengra ekiina alala na awantu awa ekialo.

33 Kutio waamwifu, ni muikumiizie alala okuria Isawo eria Omwami, murinde awiina wiinyu. 34 Ni, no omuntu awurra enzala asugaane ariire engo waae, kugere ni muagaanre alala, okuagana kwinyu okwo kutagera mukengerwe ekiina. Amangʼana gandi agasigaale, nyiza okuwagamba-gambrako ni nyizre eyo.

Empanwa eya Omwoyo Omweru

1 Waamwifu, nanyagala muwe ni mutamanyire amangʼana aga empanwa ezia *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda aesana, yaaya. 2 Mumanyire mbwe ni mwawanga ni mukiari awantu awa ekialo, mwasemereziwua mu engira enyingi nawuno muingira mu okusawa katonda ensaasa eziwula amatwi ne eminwa egia okugamba-gamba.* 3 Kutio nyingeeno nyagala mumanye mbwe awulao-uwula omuntu ori no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda oesa okuwoola mbwe, “Yesu afuuwue,” kandi awulao oesa yawoola mbwe, “Yesu ari Omwami,” na awula no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.*

4 Zirio empanwa ezigawuke-gawuuke, ni no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda omulala nio oziesana. 5 Girio emirimo egigawuke-gawuuke, ni no Omwami omulala nio owa gikorrwa. 6 Gario amaani aga okukola emirimo okugawuke-gawuuke, ni ni Katonda omulala nio okola mu owulamu owua awantu waae woona.

7 Ku omuntu ki omuntu, Omwoyo Omweru ailagana mu engira ezigawukane-gawukaane ezitunzia awandi.* 8 Omuntu omulala aeerwe empanwa eya okuwoola amangʼana agari na amaganga, no owundi ni kuema ku Omwoyo Omweru wazane aeerwe empanwa eya okuwa no okumanya okwa kungulu. 9 Owundi ni kuema ku Omwoyo Omweru omulala oyo aeerwe empanwa eya okuwa no okuganya, no owundi amaani aga okulamia awalwire. 10 Omwoyo Omweru a-aa omuntu omulala amaani aga okukola amankono, no owundi okuwoola amangʼana aga owugambi, no owundi owuesani owua okugawula agati ya amangʼana agaema ku Omwoyo Omweru na agandi amasaasa agatamuemako. Omulala aeerwe okugamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke, na awandi okugalusia ewiwoolwa mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke egio.* 11 Gino giona ne emirimo egia Omwoyo Omweru omulala kandi agiesana ku omuntu ki omuntu kiomo omwene awuine.**

Omuwiri omulala ne ewiimo ewingi

12 Omuwiri guri ne ewiimo ewingi, kandi kukawa mbwe guri ne ewiimo ewingi otio, gukiari mala omuwiri omulala. Nintio twona tufwanana ifwe awari ku *Kristo.* 13 Awandi ku ifwe na *Awayaudi na awandi na awantu awatari Awayaudi, awandi wari *awakurumu na awandi na awantu awari owuyanga. Ni twona twabatiiswa no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda omulala okuwa omuwiri omulala kandi twona twaeewua Omwoyo Omweru omulala okunywa atuizuzie.*

14 Omuwiri ogwa omuntu naguri ekiimo ekilala yaaya, ni guri ne ewiimo ewingi. 15 Katio no okugulu kuwoorre ti, “Aeniki inze ngʼandi okukono, kutio ngʼandi ekilala ku ewiimo ewia omuwiri,” okwo kwengʼene kukagera okugulu kureke okuwa ekilala ku ewiimo ewia omuwiri? 16 Nakuwa no okutwi kuwoorre ti, “Aeniki inze ngʼandi eriiso, katio ngʼandi ekilala ku ewiimo ewia omuwiri,” katio okwo kwengʼene kukagera kureke okuwa ekilala ku ewiimo ewia omuwiri? 17 Kusi kuweeko mbwe omuwiri gwona guri mala eriiso, tukawurra naki? Namba kuweeko mbwe omuwiri gwona guri mala okutwi, tukawunyirizia ewintu naki? 18 Ni Katonda ateereo ekiimo ki ekiimo alala geeza mu engira endootu kiomo yaagalanga mbwe wiwe. 19 Kuweeko mbwe ewiimo wiona ne ekiimo ekilala, katio omuwiri gukaweerei? 20 Ni kiomo kuri, ewiimo wiri ewingi ku omuwiri, no omuwiri guri omulala.

21 Eriiso nariesa okulaga okukono ti, “Inze mbula ni iwue emirimo!” Lwona omutwe ngaguesa okulaga amagulu ti, “Inze mbula ni inywe emirimo!” 22 Aa kukaweere kutio, tutuukra mbwe ewiimo ewiwonekana ewigata ewio niwio ewia omuwiri ngaguesa okukola emirimo ni wiwulao 23 kandi ewiimo ewitoolwa wutono, niwio ewia tu-aa irinda ilootu ino. Ewiimo ewilagana owukuna wuifu tusanikizia geeza 24 kandi ewiimo windi ewisigaale ngatusanikizia tutio. Katonda amiire okuta ewiimo wiifu alala mu engira endootu eya namba ewiimo ewiwonekana mbwe wiwula no owunene awiere owunene. 25 Yakola otio kugere okugawukana kutaaza kwawaao mu omuwiri, ni mbwe ewiimo wiona wikorre alala ekiimo ekilala ni kutunzia ekindi. 26 Kutio ne ekiimo kilala kiwurra uwiiwi, ewiimo wiona wiwurra uwiiwi, kandi ne ekiimo kilala kieewua owuti, ewiimo wiona wieewua owuti kandi omuwiri gwona gwasangaala alala nakio.*

27 Ni inywe omuwiri ogwa Kristo kandi omuntu ki omuntu ku inywe ari ekiimo ekia omuwiri ogwo.* 28 Kandi mu ekaniisa, owusookere Katonda ateereo *awatumwa, awa okuwiri wari *awagambi, awa okusatu wari awagerezi, nikuemao tugia ku awantu awakola amankono, nikwo awari ne empanwa eya okulamia amalwire, awantu awatunzia awandi, awari ne empanwa eya okukangatra awandi, na awagamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke.* 29 Woona wari awatumwa? Kusi awagambi? Kusi awagerezi? Kusi woona wakola amankono? 30 Woona wari ne empanwa eya okulamia awalwire? Kusi woona wagamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke? Kusi woona wagalusia eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke? Yaaya, ngʼanintio. 31 Ni mute emioyo giinyu mu okuagala empanwa enkate-kaate okukira.

Olugonzi

1 Ni ngamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke, giwe egiwoolwa na awantu namba ne *enyankoi, ni mbula no olugonzi, mfwanana mala ne endege ekuba erioga.* 2 Ni kuri mbwe ndi ne empanwa eya owugambi no okumanya ewintu ewia munsi ewiiwisre ewingi, kandi ni ndi no okuganya okuesa kwagemula ewigiri, ni mbula no olugonzi, ngʼandi ekintu yaaya.* 3 Ni ntoorre ewintu wiange wiona nyesane ku awataka kandi ni mfumiizie omuwiri gwange gusambwe no omurro,* ni mbula no olugonzi, okwo ngakuuza okuntunzia yawa.*

4 Olugonzi lusikia omwoyo, luri olusiza, luwula ni iyari, ngaluitumbula kandi ngaluiyama. 5 Olugonzi luwula ne enkola ezisuusia awantu, ngaluagala olwae olwene, ngaluyia enda wuangu, lwona ngaluambirra awantu ewintu ewiwiiwi ewia wakorre. 6 Olugonzi ngalusangaala no owuoni, ni lusangaala no owuene. 7 Lurinda enyinga ziona, ngalufwa omwoyo enyinga ziona, luri no okirindirra enyinga ziona, kandi lukola olutuunyo enyinga ziona.*

8 Olugonzi luwaao amiire goona agawula ne entuuko. Owugambi ni wuuza okuwua, okugamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke kuuza okuwua kandi okumanya okwa kungulu kwona kuuza okuteeka chwe. 9 Aeniki okumanya okwa turi nakwo kukeeyire kandi owugambi owua tukola wuona wukeeyire, 10 ni no okusuga okutuukre kuuza okuuza, ewikeeyire wiona wiiza okuteeka wiwue chwe. 11 Ni nyawanga omwana omuto, nyagamba-gambanga ki omwana omuto, nyaingirizianga ki omwana omuto kandi nyawarranga ewintu ki omwana omuto. No olwa nyakoma mba omuntu omukulu, engira ezia owuana wuto ziona ziambwako ziteeka chwe. 12 Nyingeeno tuwona, ni mala amarembeezi mala ki owarra mu ekiyoo. Ni mu amiire ago turiwona geeza ki awawonana amiiso na amiiso. Nyingeeno ndi no okumanya okukeeyire, ni mu amiire ago ndiriwa no okumanya okutuukre mala kiomo Katonda ammanyire inze.*

13 Ewintu ewisatu wino, ewiri okuwa no okuganya, okuwa no okurindirra alala no olugonzi ngawiiza okuwua. Ne ekineene okukira agati yawio no olugonzi.*

Empanwa eya owugambi no okugamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke

1 Kane olugonzi nilwo olwa musugaane muagale ino. Mute emioyo giinyu mu okuagala okuwa ne empanwa ezia *Omwoyo Omweru aesana, ino-ino empanwa eya owugambi.* 2 Ni kutio aeniki awantu awagamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke iwo, ngawagamba-gamba na awantu, ni wagamba-gamba ni Katonda aeniki awulao omuntu owurra ekia wawoola. Kuwuene wanawula amangʼana agaiwisre na amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru. 3 Na awantu awawoola amangʼana aga owugambi iwo wagamba-gamba na awantu ni wawalaga amangʼana agawakomia, agawa-ambia amaani kandi agawaoreezia emioyo. 4 Na awantu awagamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke, iwo wawoola amangʼana agawakomia iwo aweene, na awantu awawoola amangʼana aga owugambi, iwo amangʼana gaawu gatunzia ekaniisa okukoma.* 5 Inze nkaagaale mbwe mwona mugambe-gambe mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke, ni ino-ino nyagala mbwe muwe ne empanwa eya okuwoola amangʼana aga owugambi. Owoola amangʼana aga owugambi ari omukaate okukira ogamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke. Mala omwene na aesa okugalusizia awandi ewia awoola mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke egio kugere ekaniisa ekome, nikwao.*

6 Waamwifu, ni mbaazreko kandi ntanike-utanika okuwagamba-gambra mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke, ao otio mbatunzia naki? Ngʼani mala ni mbareetiire amangʼana aga owusasuko, amangʼana agareeta okumanya, amangʼana aga owugambi namba amangʼana aga owugerezi? 7 Namba ni tutoorre ewintu ewiwula no owulamu kiomo ewituutu nakuwa amakana agakubwa gaarra, omuntu akamanya otie omwoyo ogurra ne emioyo egio gitagawuulwe? 8 Ni lwona, no olwiga lutarre ne endira ewurikanra awantu geeza mbwe no olwiga olueta awantu okugia mu iye, ao otio okaikagra iye naanu? 9 Mu engira efwanani, ooza okuwurra ewia owoola naanu no ogamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke? Ao tio ooza okufwanana no omuntu ogamba-gambra mala omuyaga. 10 Eminwa egiwoolwa giri emiera mu ekialo kiona, kandi guwulao namba omulala ogutawurikanra awaguwoola. 11 Ni, ni kuri mbwe ngʼampurra ewiwoolwa mu omunwa gundi, ao otio ndi omugeni ku awaguwoola kandi woona wari awageni ku inze. 12 Mu engira efwanani, aeniki mwona muagala empanwa ezia Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, owukirre wiona, mukole wukalu mutuukre empanwa ezitunzia ekaniisa okukoma.

13 Kutio omuntu ogamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke, asugaane asawe Katonda amu-ee amaani aga okugalusia ewia awoola ewio. 14 Kuri kutio aeniki ni ngamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke enyinga ezia nsawa, Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda ondimo nio osawa ni inze, kandi inze omwene ngʼamanyire ewia mboola. 15 Katio ekia nsugaane nkole niki? Nyiza okusawa mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke, ni lwona nyiza okusawa mu omunwa ogwa manyire gwona. Nyiza okuembra Katonda mu eminwa egigawuke-gawuuke, ni lwona nyiza okuembra Katonda mu omunwa ogwa manyire gwona. 16 Iwue no osawa okusawa okwa okuiranizia Katonda otioo mu omunwa omugeni ogwa awandi watawurra mu ekaniisa, omuntu otawurra ewia owoola ewio akaganya otie mbwe “*Amin” ni iye ngamanyire ewia owoola? 17 Ooza wawa mbwe oiranizia Katonda otioo geeza ino, ni otawurra oria iye ngaomererwa yaaya.

18 Nyiranizia Katonda otioo aeniki inze ngamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke okuwakira mwona. 19 Ni kukawa kutio, ni ni ndi mu ekaniisa kumbeera kulootu okuwoola amangʼana ataanu agawurikana geeza kugere ngerere awandi, okukira okuwoola amangʼana elufu ikumi mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke.

20 Waamwifu, ku amangʼana aga empanwa ezia mu omwoyo, mutawa na amaingirizio aga awaana wato, yaaya. Muwe awamaya ki awaana awakiari ewingʼengʼe mu okukola owuoni, ni mu amangʼana gano muwe awantu wakulu mu amaingirizio giinyu.* 21 Kwajojwa mu endagano, Katonda na awoola otino:

“Nyiza okukola na awantu awawoola eminwa emigeni

kandi ni kuwitra ku eminwa egia awatange

nyiza okugamba-gamba na awantu wano,

ni kukawa kutio ngawarimpurra yaaya,”†

22 Okugamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke kane ngakuri ekilago ku awantu awari no okuganya, ni ne ekilago mala ku awawula no okuganya wengʼene. Owugambi ni wuri ekilago ku awari no okuganya wengʼene, ni ngawuri ekilago ku awatari no okuganya, yaaya. 23 Katio na awantu waikumiizie mu ekaniisa kandi watanike okugamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke, mala awantu awa enze namba awantu awawula no okuganya waingire mu ekaniisa omwo, ngawaesa okuwoola mbwe ilalu riwa-ambre?* 24 Ni, ni wawatuukiire mwona ni muwoola amangʼana aga owugambi, amangʼana ago ngagaaza okuwafumuta emioyo nawuno owuoni owua wakola wuwawonekanre? Ee amangʼana ago gaaza okuwateera ekiina mu emioyo giawu. 25 Ne ewintu ewiiwisre mu omwoyo ogwa omuntu owula no okuganya wimiire okusanukulwa, omuntu oyo aaza okuifunama emberi wa Katonda no omwoyo oguvuniike kandi aaza okusawa Katonda na awoola mbwe “Kuwuene Katonda ari agati iinyu!”*

26 Waamwifu, ekia tusugaane tukole niki katio? Ni muikumiizie alala mu okusawa, omuntu ki omuntu asugaane awe ne ekintu, luwe olwembo, ingʼana eria okugerera, owusasuko, okugamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke namba okugalusia amangʼana gano. Ewintu wino wiona wisugaane wikolwe okutunzia ekaniisa okukoma.* 27 Na ario omuntu omulala kugia awantu wawiri, namba wasatu ni wari wangi, awari ne ekia wagala okuwoola mu ekaniisa mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke, wasugaane wakole otio omulala-lala kandi omugalusi ogalusia ewia wawoola paka aweeo. 28 Ni, na awulao omugalusi, wasugaane wasarigire ni wari mu ekaniisa, ni wagamba-gambe ni iwo aweene kandi ni Katonda.

29 *Awagambi wawiri kugia wasatu niwo awasugaane wafumie amangʼana aga owugambi, nikuemao awiina waawu awasigaale waseese amangʼana ago.* 30 Ni, ni Katonda asasuriire omulala ku iwo oikaale ansi ingʼana, omwina waae ogamba-gambrenga asugaane asarigire amu-ee iwaga. 31 Ee ni kutio aeniki mwona muesa okufumia owugambi kusangu-sangu kugere awantu woona watuukre okuigerera kandi wakalangusiwue. 32 Omuntu oyo aesa okusarigira aeniki ori ne empanwa eya owugambi ari na amaani aga okuwona kiomo aesa okukola ne empanwa eya aeerwe eyo 33 aeniki Katonda ngagala mbwe tufwe okukola-kola-ukola-kola ewintu yaaya. Ni mbwe ewintu wiona wikolwe no owuolu.

Mala kiomo kuikola mu okuikumia okwa awalowole kwona,* 34 awakazi wasugaane wasarigire ni wari mu ekaniisa. Ngawaganyiirwe okugamba-gamba, yaaya. Ni wasugaane wawe ansi ya owukangasi owua ekaniisa mala kiomo *ensikirra eya Muusa ewoola.* 35 Ni wagala okumanya ekintu, ni wagie wawuuzia awasaaza waawu ni wamiire okuirana engo, aeniki ne ensuuko omukazi okugamba-gamba mu ekaniisa.*

36 Muagala okundaga mbwe inywe ni inywe amangʼana aga Katonda gaatanikirako? Kusi ni inywe wengʼene awa gamiire okutuukako? 37 Na ario omuntu oingirizia mbwe ari omugambi owa Katonda namba mbwe ari omuntu okomere mu amangʼana aga Katonda, asugaane aganye mbwe amangʼana aga mbajojeere gano gari ensikirra eziemere ku Omwami. 38 Ni, na ario omuntu olowa amangʼana gano, alowue iye oona.

39 Kutio waamwifu, mute emioyo giinyu ku okuagala okuwa awagambi, ni mutalowera awantu okugamba-gamba mu eminwa emigeni egigawuke-gawuuke. 40 Ne ewintu wiona paka wikolwe mu engira endootu kandi elondokaane geeza.

Okuziuka okwa Kristo

1 Waamwifu, nyingeeno nyagala okuwaizurizia amangʼana amalootu aga Yesu Kristo aga nyawalanzizia, aga mwaingizia kandi aga okuganya kwinyu kuiyegeekeko. 2 Mununulwa ni muandre ku amangʼana amalootu aga nyawalanzizia, wusa-wusa kane okuganya okwa muri nakwo kuno kuwula ne emirimo.*

3 Nyawalanzizia amangʼana amalootu aga noona nyatuukra. Ekintu ekineene okukira, ni mbwe *Kristo yafwira owuoni wuifu mala kiomo gawoolwa mu endagano,* 4 mbwe ya-awirwa kandi owuire owua okusatu yaziusiwua mala kiomo endagano ewoola.* 5 Mbwe yasooka afumira Petro nikuemao afumira awalonzi waae ikumi ni wawiri.* 6 Lunyima yafumira awalonzi waae awakakira mia witaanu aa kalala. Owungi wuawu wakiari awalamu kukawa mbwe awandi wamiire okufwa. 7 Nikuemao yafumira Yakoobo, nikwo yafumira *awatumwa waae woona.* 8 Owutuukre yamfumira inze noona, ki omwana owusirwe,* 9 aeniki inze ni inze omutumwa owa ansi owutuukre ku awatumwa woona kandi ngʼansugre namba okuetwa omutumwa ku okunyaasia okwa nyanyaasia ekaniisa eya Katonda. 10 Ni ku owusiza owua Katonda ndi ekia ndi, kandi owusiza owua yankorra owuo ngawukawa owua owusa yaaya, aeniki miire okukola emirimo wukalu okukira awatumwa wandi woona. Ni ngʼani inze omiire okukola, ni no owusiza owua Katonda owumiire okuwa ni inze.** 11 Kuwe mbwe ni iwo nakuwa mbwe ni inze ngakuri ekintu yaaya, ekineene ni mbwe gano nigo amangʼana agatulanzia kandi nigo aga mwaganyako.*

Okuziuka okwa awafu

12 Ni kuri mbwe tulanzia mbwe Kristo yafwa kandi aziuka aema ku awafu, katio awandi ku inywe wareeta otie okuwoola mbwe okuziuka okuema ku awafu kuwulao? 13 Okuziuka okuema ku awafu ni kuwulao, kane namba Kristo akiari okuziusiwua. 14 Ni, ni kuri mbwe Kristo akiari okuziusiwua, kane amangʼana agatulanzia gawula ne emirimo kandi okuganya okwa mumiire okuwa nakwo kwona kuri okwa owusa. 15 Owukirre ago, ao otio ifwe awamiire okuweerao ni tulaga awantu mbwe Katonda yaziusia Kristo ku awafu, tukaweere awawoni awa Katonda awa owuweeyi emberi wa awantu. Ni, ni kuri mbwe awafu ngawaziuka, kane Katonda ngakamuziusia, yaaya. 16 Aeniki ni kuri mbwe awafu ngawazuika, kane kugia Kristo yoona ngakaziusiwua. 17 Kandi ni Kristo ngakaziusiwua, kane okuganya okwa muri nakwo ku iye kuwula ne emirimo kandi mukiari mu owuoni.* 18 Ni kuri kutio, awantu awamiire okufwa ni wari ku Kristo wateekere ilala kane. 19 Ni, ni kuri mbwe tuteere emioyo giifu ku Kristo ku amangʼana aga owulamu owua turi nawuo nyingeeno wuno gengʼene, kane ni ifwe awari uwiiwi okukira awantu woona.

20 Ni ngakuri kutio yaaya, aeniki ni kuwuene mbwe Katonda yaziusia Kristo amutoola ku awafu, kugere awe ki ensaafu eya oluweri ku awantu awamiire okufwa.* 21 Kiomo olumbe lwaza ni kuwitra ku omuntu omulala, nintio lwona okuziuka ku awafu kuuza ni kuwitra ku omuntu omulala. 22 Ee, mala kiomo ku Adaamu awantu woona waafwa, nintio lwona ku Kristo awantu woona waeewua owulamu.* 23 No omuntu ki omuntu no owuire wuae, Kristo nio osooka okuziuka ki ensaafu esookere, nikwo awantu waae woona, olwa ariiza.* 24 Nikuemao owutuuko wuriiza olwa Kristo ariona owukangasi wuona, no owukire wuona alala na amaani goona nikwo atoole owuami wuae ate mu amakono aga Katonda Ise.* 25 Aeniki Kristo paka akangate nawuno Katonda akire awazigu waae woona kandi awate ansi awataze na amagulu gaae.* 26 Kandi omuzigu ooza okumalwa owutuukre, no olumbe.* 27 Ne endagano ewoola mbwe, “Amiire okuta ewintu wiona ansi eya amagulu gaae,”† ngakulagana mbwe Katonda, oteere ewintu wiona ansi eya amagulu aga Kristo, mbwe oona ari omulala ku awari ansi eya amagulu aga Kristo, yaaya. 28 Katonda na amiire okukola otio, Omuzia waae, omwene aaza okuwa ansi yaae, iye owata ewintu wiona ansi eya amagulu gaae. Kuno kuuza okugera Katonda awe na amaani goona ku ewintu wiona.*

29 Kutio ni kuri kiomo awandi ku inywe wawoola mbwe okuziuka okuema ku awafu kuwulao, ekigera na awiinyu awo wabatisirwa awantu awamiire okufwa niki kane? 30 Ifwe ekigera ni tuganyire owulamu wuifu okuwa ampi ne emidambo enyinga ziona niki katio? 31 Waamwifu, mpumra ewintu ewiesa okumala owulamu wuange owuire ki owuire. Okuitumbula okwa ndi nakwo ku inywe mu owulala owua turi nawuo ku Kristo Yesu, niwuo owugera ni nganyire kugia olumbe.* 32 Ni kuri mbwe nyalwania awantu awalulu ki ensisi mu ekialo ekia Efeeso, ku amangʼana aga owulamu owua ku ekialo gengʼene, ao otio omugawo gwange guwulao chee. Ni kuri mbwe awafu ngawaaza okuziuka,

“Kane muturie kandi mutunywe,

aeniki enkio tufwa.”†*

33 Omuntu atawasemerezia: “Okugenda-genda na awantu awawiiwi kuona enkola endootu.” 34 Muirane ku amaingirizio giinyu amalootu, kandi mureke okukola owuoni. Awandi ku inywe ngawamanyire Katonda kandi mboola otio okuwasuusia.*

Omuwiri ogwa omuntu oziukre

35 Awandi ku inywe waaza wawuuzia mbwe, “Awafu waesa okuziusiwua otie? Kusi ni waziukre, waaza okuwa ne emiwiri egifwana gitie?” 36 Okuwuuzia okufwana okwo no okwa owumaya! Kane emwo ne ekomeerwe, ngesooka yafwa nikwo yamera? 37 Enyinga ezia okomera, okomera mala emwo ki eya engaano nakuwa eya emere indi, ni ngokomera emere efuma enze eria, yaaya.* 38 Ni Katonda nio ogi-aa omuwiri ogwa iye omwene aagala mbwe emere eyo ewe nagwo. Kandi emwo ki emwo eri no omuwiri gwayo egawuuke ne eindi. 39 Awantu, entiangʼi, enyonyi ne emvwa ziona zialukwa ne emiwiri egitafwanana, yaaya. 40 Ewintu ewia ku igulu ne ewia ku ekialo wiri ne emiwiri. Ne ewintu ewiri ku igulu ne ewintu ewiri ku ekialo wiri ne embonekano ezigawukaane. 41 Enyanga eri no owueru owugawukaane no owua omwenzi ne engʼeni-ngʼeni, kandi engʼeni-ngʼeni ziona zigawukana mu owueru owua zifumia.

42 Nintio okuziuka okwa awafu kwona kuuza okuwa. Omuwiri ogukomerwa mu ilowa guwola, ni guziuka omuwiri ogutawola. 43 Omuwiri ogwa omufu gukomerwa mu ilowa ne ensuuko, ni guziuka ni guri no owunene. Gukomerwa ni guri omugata, ni guziuka ni guri na amaani.* 44 Gukomerwa mu ilowa ni guri ogwa ekialo, ni guziuka ni guri ogwa ku igulu.

Mala kiomo gurio omuwiri ogwa ku ekialo kino, omuwiri ogwa ku igulu gwona paka guweeo. 45 Kuri mala kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe Adaamu omuntu owa oluweri yawa omuntu ori no owulamu owua ku ekialo,† ni Kristo Adaamu otuukre iye yawa omuntu oesana owulamu owua ku igulu.* 46 Ni ngʼani mbwe omuwiri ogwa ku igulu nigwo ogusooka, ni no omuwiri ogwa ekialo nigwo ogusooka nikwo lunyima omuwiri ogwa ku igulu gwalondako. 47 Omuntu owa oluweri yalukwa ni ilowa eria ekialo, no omuntu owa okuwiri yaema ku igulu. 48 Omuntu ki omuntu ori ku ekialo ari no omuwiri ogwa ekialo, ki ogwa Adaamu. Na awantu awa Kristo woona waaza okueewua emiwiri egia ku igulu, ki ogwa Kristo. 49 Kandi mala kiomo turi no omufwano ogwa omuntu owaema ku ekialo, nintio lwona tuuza okuwa no omufwano ogwa Kristo omuntu owaema ku igulu.*

50 Waamwifu, mbalaga mbwe emiwiri giifu egiri enyama na amasaai gino ngagiesa okugia ku igulu ku Katonda, kandi omuwiri oguwola guno lwona ngaguesa gwawa omuwiri ogutawola.

51-52 Musarigire mbalageko ekingʼana ekiiwisre: Ngatuuza okufwa twona yaaya, ni turigalusiwua kalala ki olumesi namba ki imedia eria eriiso, olwa olwiga lurirra owuire owua entuuko. Aeniki no olwiga lurirra, awafu wariziusiwua ne emiwiri egitawola kandi ifwe awarituukrwa ni turi awalamu turigalusiwua.* 53 Ni kutio aeniki omuwiri oguwola guno paka guingizie omuwiri ogutawola, kandi omuwiri ogufwa guno guingizie omuwiri ogutafwa.* 54 Kandi no omuwiri oguwola guno gumiire okuingizia omuwiri ogutawola, kandi omuwiri ogufwa guno guingiizie omuwiri ogutafwa, nikwo amangʼana agari mu endagano garituuka kuwuene mbwe, “Olumbe lumiire okuonwa, owukire turi nawuo.”†

55 “Oo olumbe, owukire wuao wuriai?

Oo olumbe, owululu owua oreeta wuriai?”†

56 Owuoni niwuo owugera no olumbe luwa no owululu, kandi owuoni wutuukra amaani okuema ku *ensikirra ezia Muusa.* 57 Ni tuiranizia Katonda otioo aeniki ni iye otu-aa owukire ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo Omwami iifu.*

58 Kutio waamwifu awa ngonziizie, muimerre wukalu kandi mutaiyunzia. Muifumie okukola emirimo egia *Omwami Yesu enyinga ziona aeniki mumanyire mbwe emirimo egia mukoriire Omwami ngagiri emirimo egia owusa, yaaya.*

Okufumizia Awakristo awiina wiinyu

1 Ku amangʼana aga okufumizia Awakristo awiina wiinyu, mboola mbwe mukole owufwanani ni kiomo nyalaga Awakristo awari mu amakaniisa agari Ewugalatia mbwe wakole.* 2 Nyanga olwa omudiira ogwa okuwiri ki omudiira ogwa okuwiri, omuntu ki omuntu ku inywe asugaane atoole amasendi, owuagani ni kiomo okutuukra kwae kuri awiike, kugere mutawa mbwe ni nyiza okuuza nikwo mutanika okukunza amasendi. 3 Kutio ni nyizre, muuza okumpa awantu awa muganyire nawo noona mba-ee amatu aga okuwamanyisia kandi mbatume na amasendi aga mufumiizie goona, wairre Awakristo Yerusaleemu. 4 Ni, ni muwuine mbwe kulootu noona ni ngiire, ni nyiza okugia nawo.

Omupango ogwa Paulo

5 Nyiza okuwaazako ni miire okuwitra mu ekitemo ekia Makedoonia, aeniki ndi no omupango ogwa okuwona amakaniisa agari eyo ni ndi ku engira.* 6 Andi nyiza okuuza akuwa ni inywe eyo ku amiire amaera. Andi nyiza nyatoola entwigo yoona ni inywe, kugere muntunzie mu olugendo lwange ansi-uansi aa nyiza okugia.* 7 Nyingeeno nanyagala mbwe nyize mala ki omugeni owita, yaaya. Ni, ni Katonda aganyire, nyagala nyize mbe ni inywe ku amiire agasugre.* 8 Ku enyinga zino, nkiaza okuweera Efeeso eno nawuno omugomo ogwa *Pendekosti gutuuke, 9 aeniki ririo iwaga inene kandi ilungi eria okukorra *Omwami Yesu, kandi awantu awangi wankuba iiye.*

10 Ni Timotheeo aazre eyo, muwone mbwe aweere ni inywe geeza aa ekiesa kiamu-aa owuti kiwulao, aeniki yoona akola emirimo egia Omwami Katonda mala kiomo inze.* 11 Kutio omuntu ataaza yamutoola wutono, yaaya. Na amiire owugeni wuae, mumu-ee owuitunzi mu olugendo lwae kandi mumute ku engira no owuolu anyiraneko. Ndinda okumuwona iye alala ni waamwifu ku *Kristo awari eyo.

12 Ku amangʼana aga wamwifu Apolo, miire okumusawa wukalu ino mbwe aaze awawone na ari alala ni waamwifu ku Kristo wandi, no omwoyo gwae gumiire okuwa omukalu okuuza nyingeeno. Ni aaza okuuza na atuukiire iwaga.*

Amangʼana agatuukre

13 Muwe amiiso, muisimbiire wukalu mu okuganya okwa muri nakwo ku Kristo, muwe awantu awasiani kandi muwe awakalangufu.* 14 Mulagane olugonzi mu ekintu-ukintu ekia mukola.*

15 Mumanyire mbwe Stefaano na awantu awa mu enyumba yaae niwo awaasooka okuganya ku Omwami mu ekialo ekia Akaaya ao, kandi wamiire okuwa ni waifumiizie okutunzia awantu awa Katonda. Kutio waamwifu, mbasawa mbwe* 16 mu-ee awantu awafwana awo, alala no omuntu-umuntu okola emirimo egia *injiili na amaani alala nawo, owuti wungi ino. 17 Ndi no owusangaavu ino no okuuza okwa Stefaano ni Fotunatuusi alala na Akaikuusi waazre eno. Wantuusizia ewia miire okuwa ni nkeeyire, ku okuwa kwinyu okwa muri ale ni inze. 18 Waanyomerezia omwoyo ino mala kiomo waawaomerezia inywe. Awantu awafwana awo wasugre no okulaganiwua emberi wa awantu.

19 Awakristo awari mu amakaniisa aga mu ekialo ekia *Eesia wawatumiire amakeezio. Akwila ni Preskiila woona wawakeeziizie ino ku eriina eria Omwami, kandi awantu awa ekaniisa eikumia mu enyumba yaawu woona wawakeeziizie.* 20 Waamwifu ku Kristo awari eno woona wawatumiire amakeezio. Mukeezanie omuntu no omwina waae na amakeezio aga awada awagonzaanie.*

21 Inze Paulo, ni inze owatumiire amakeezio gano ni ngajoja no okukono kwange omwene.*

22 No omuntu arekere okugonzia Omwami, amafuuwo aga Katonda gamulonde. Maranaatha.* 23 Owusiza owua Omwami Yesu wuwe ni inywe. 24 Mbangonziizie inywe awantu woona awari ku Kristo Yesu. *Amin.

Amakeezio agasookere

1 Ni inze Paulo *omutumwa owa Yesu *Kristo mu okuagala okwa Katonda, ni ndi alala ni wamwifu Timotheeo.

Mbajojera ebaruwa eno inywe awantu awa ekaniisa eya Katonda eri ku omugizi ogwa Korintho, alala na awantu awa Katonda awari mu ekialo ekia Akaaya kiona.* 2 Muwe no owusiza no owuolu owuema ku Soifu Katonda alala no *Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo.

Paulo aikaziizie Katonda

3 Katonda ori Swawu Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo atondowolwe. Ni iye Ise ori na amagongi kandi Katonda owa owuorezi owua omwoyo wuona wuemako.* 4 Atuorezia emioyo mu emidambo giifu giona, kugere twona tuese okuorezia emioyo egia awantu awari mu emidambo egigawukane-gawukaane, ni turi no owuorezi owua omwoyo owua ifwe aweene tutuukiire okuema ku Katonda. 5 Aeniki kiomo emidambo emingi gituuzra ku okuwa kwifu mu owulala ni Kristo, nintio lwona tuuza okutuukra owuorezi owua omwoyo owungi owukirre ni kuwitra ku Kristo.* 6 Ifwe ni tuwona eminyako-nyaako, inywe mutuukra owuorezi owua omwoyo alala no owuinunuzi. Ni tuoreziwua omwoyo, kugera mwona ni muwa no owuoreevu owua omwoyo owugera ni musikia emioyo mu emidambo emifwanani ne egia ifwe twona tuwitamo. 7 Tuteere omwoyo oguisimbiire aeniki tumanyire mbwe kiomo muwa ni ifwe alala mu eminyako-nyaako, nintio lwona muuza okuwa ni ifwe alala mu okutuukra owuoreevu owua omwoyo.*

8 Waamwifu, ngatuagala mbwe muwe ni mutamanyire eminyako-nyaako egia twawa nagio mu ekialo ekia *Eesia, yaaya. Ee twawona emidambo eminene egitukirre ale-ale, egiagera ni tutoolao omwoyo mbwe ngatuuza okuwaao awalamu.* 9 Kuwuene, mu emioyo giifu ifwe aweene twaikengera ekiina mbwe tufwire chee. Na ago gaaikola kugere tutaaza twata emioyo giifu ku ifwe aweene yaaya, ni tute emioyo giifu ku Katonda oziusia awafu.* 10 Katonda yatununula mu emidambo emiwiiwi egifwana ne egio kandi akiaza okutununula. Iye nio owa tuteereko emioyo giifu mbwe aaza okugia emberi okutununula,* 11 mwona ni mututunzia mu okusawa, kugere awantu awangi wairanizie Katonda otioo ku owusiza owungi owua atulagre ku okuirania okusawa okwa awantu awangi.*

Ekiagera Paulo na agalusia olugendo lwae

12 Ekintu ekia tuesa okuitumbula nakio, ni mbwe emioyo giifu giganya ni ifwe mbwe owulamu wuifu ku ekialo kuno, ni ino-ino agati iinyu, wumiire okuwa no owuigolovu no owuene owuema ku Katonda. Tumiire okukola otio ngʼani na amaganga aga ekialo yaaya, ni no owusiza owuema ku Katonda.* 13 Aeniki ngatuwajojera amangʼana aga mutaesa okusoma namba okuwurra yaaya. Ndi no okuganya mbwe 14 kiomo mumiire okutuwurra wutono otio, muuza okumanya geeza ino mbwe muri iwaga okuitumbula ni ifwe mala kiomo twona tuuza okuitumbula ni inywe olwa Owuire owua Omwami Yesu wurituuka.*

15 Aeniki nyawanga no owusiani ku okuwurizania okurio agati yange ni inywe, nyawanga no omupango ogwa okuuza okuwa omugeni iinyu owusookere kandi nyize mbe omugeni iinyu olwa okuwiri. 16 Nyagalanga okuuza okuwagenia ni mbita ni ngia Makedoonia, kandi ni nyirana ni nyema Makedoonia. Nyagala muuze muntunzie mu olugendo lwange olwa okugia Yudeea.* 17 Ngʼanyakakola omupango guno ni ntaingiriizie geeza yaaya. Lwona ngʼankola emipango giange kiomo awantu awa ekialo awaganya mbwe “Ee-ee” kandi wuangu wagaluka wawoola mbwe “Yaaya-yaaya” wakola.* 18 Ni mala kiomo Katonda arindre amangʼana gaae, amangʼana giifu aga tuwalaga gano ngʼana amangʼana aga okuzogaania eminwa iwiri, okuganya mbwe “Ee” kandi okulowa mbwe “Yaaya.” 19 Aeniki Yesu Kristo Omuzia owa Katonda, owa inze ni Siila ni Timotheeo twalanzia agati iinyu ngazogaania eminwa iwiri, mbwe “Ee” kandi “Yaaya,” ni ku iye amangʼana agaifuuwre goona gawa mala “Ee” engʼene.* 20 Kuri kutio aeniki ewintu ewia Katonda yaifuuwa okukola wiona, wikawa wimeka, wituuka kuwuene ku Kristo kandi wiri “Ee.” Kutio ni kuwitra ku Yesu, tuwoola mbwe “*Amin” oku-aa Katonda owunene.*

21 Katonda amiire *okutuwaka na amavuta kugere ifwe alala ni inywe tuimerre owuisimbiriire ku Kristo. 22 Atuteereko ekilago ekia okuwa awantu waae kandi atueere *Omwoyo gwae Omweru ki empanwa esookere etumanyisia mbwe kuwuene Katonda atuwikiire ensereki emberi.*

23 Katonda omwene ari omuwoni wange mbwe okuamba okwa nyawa-ambra amagongi nikwo okwagera ni ndeka okuuza Korintho kiomo nyaagalanga.* 24 Ngʼani mbwe tuwanigirizia okuta okuganya kwinyu ku ewia tuwalaga, yaaya. Ifwe turi awemirimo alala ni inywe kugere muwe no owusangaavu, kandi tumanyire mbwe okuganya okwa muri nakwo nikwo okugera ni muisimbiriire wukalu.*

1 Kutio nyakenga mu omwoyo gwange mbwe ngʼanyiza okuwagenia owugeni owuwareetra owululu kandi kawiri.* 2 Aeniki ni mbaeere owululu, ooza okumpa owusangaavu ogawuuke ni inywe, ni naanu katio? 3 Ekiagera ni mbajojera kiomo nyawajojera otio, ni kugere ni nyiza okuirana okuwawona kandi, ntaaza nyatuukra owululu okuema ku inywe awantu awasugaane wampe owusangaavu. Nyawanga no owusiani ni inywe mwona, mbwe owusangaavu wuange wuri owuinyu.* 4 Nyawajojera ni ndi no omwoyo omuzito oguizuule du no owululu kandi amaziga ni gayooka. Ngʼani mbwe nyagalanga muwe no owululu, yaaya; ni, nyagalanga mbwe mumanye olugonzi olwa munsi olwa mbagonziizie nalwo.*

Okurekera omuntu okorre uwiiwi

5 Na ario omuntu ku inywe oreeta okuiguunya okwa omwoyo, ngakaguunya mala omwoyo gwange gwengʼene, na aguunyre emioyo egia owungi wuinyu. Ee, ni ngʼanyagala okuwoola mbwe inywe mwona. 6 Okuswawuka okwa owungi owua awantu awari mu owulala wuinyu wamiire okumu-aa okwo, kumusugre.* 7 Kutio nyingeeno katio musugaane mumurekere kandi mumuorezie omwoyo kugere owululu owungi owua ari nawuo wutagera omwoyo gwae gufwe.* 8 Kutio mbasawa mbwe muirane mulagane kandi olugonzi olwa muri nalwo nae. 9 Ekiagera ni mbajojera, no okuwageezaania kugere mbone ni muuza oku-aa amangʼana gange goona owuti.* 10 Ni murekiire omuntu owuoni wuae, inze noona murekiire. Kandi ekia ndekere, ni kirio ekintu ekisugaane kirekwe, murekiire emberi wa *Kristo kugere okwo kuwatunzie inywe, 11 kugere *Sataani ataaza yatukira, aeniki tumanyire amaganga-ganga gaae.*

Paulo aemere Troowa wuangu-wuangu

12 Olwa nyagia Troowa okulanzia amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda ku Kristo, nyatuukra no Omwami amiire okunyigurrao iwaga inene. 13 Ni nyawulanga owuolu mu omwoyo aeniki ngʼanyakatuukra wamwifu Tiito eyo, kutio nyakubra awantu ekurinde, mfuma ntaao ni ngia Makedoonia.*

Owukire wuema ku Kristo

14 Katonda atondowolwe! Iye nio otukangatra ki omukangasi owa awa-iiye mu owukire enyinga ziona mu owulala wuifu ni Kristo, kandi ni kuwita ku ifwe, alanzia amangʼana agagera na awantu wamanya Kristo asi-uasi kiomo okuwunya okwa amavuta kuilanzia. 15 Ku Katonda turi omusango oguwunya geeza kandi tulanzia Kristo. Tuwunyira awantu awanunulwa na awantu awateeka owugawuuke.* 16 Ku awantu awanunulwa, turi no okuwunya okulootu okureeta owulamu, ni ku awantu awateeka turi no okuwunya okuwiiwi okureeta olumbe. Kandi awulao omuntu osugre okakola emirimo egio na amaani gaae omwene. 17 Owugawuuke ni kiomo awantu awangi wakola, ifwe ngatukola na amangʼana aga Katonda okutuukra owunyazi yaaya. Ni ki awantu awari mu owulala ni Kristo, ifwe tuwoola amangʼana agari kuwuene emberi wa Katonda ki awantu awa Katonda atumre.*

1 Kusi owuo tutanika okuiyamia emberi wiinyu kandi? Nakuwa muagala mbwe ifwe twona tuwe ne ebaruwa, eziifu aweene namba eziema ku inywe, ezia okulagana awa turi kiomo awantu wandi wakola?* 2 Yaaya, inywe aweene ni inywe ebaruwa ziifu ezijojerwe mu emioyo giinyu,* emanyiike kandi esomwa na awantu woona.* 3 Mulagana kuwuene mbwe muri ebaruwa eemere ku *Kristo omwene, oluuya lwifu ku emirimo giifu emikalu. Ebaruwa eene, ngejojrwe ne einki yaaya, ne ejojerwe no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda omulamu kandi ejojerwe ku emioyo egia awantu, ni ngʼani ku esleeti ezia amawaale.*

4 Owuo niwuo owusiani owua turi nawuo ku Katonda ni kuwitra ku Kristo. 5 Ngʼani mbwe tuwoola mbwe amaani aga tukola nago emirimo gino na amaani giifu aweene, ni gatuemera ku Katonda.* 6 Iye nio owagera ni tukalanguka mu okulanzia amangʼana aga *endagano empia. Endagano eno ngeisigiike ku endagirra ejojerwe, ne eisigiike ku Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda. Tumanyire otio aeniki endagirra ejojerwe ereeta olumbe, no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda areeta owulamu.*

Owunene owua endagano empia

7 Emirimo egireeta olumbe egiri mu *ensikirra eziajojwa ku iwaale, ziaezaniwua no owunene owuagera ne ekieni ekia Muusa kingʼena-ngʼena aa Awaisraeli ngawakaesanga okumukubako amiiso wamuwarre, kukawa mbwe okungʼena-ngʼena okwo kwairananga enyima.* 8 No owunene owureetwa ne emirimo egia Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda wuri owungi okukira owunene owuasooka owuo. 9 Ni kuri mbwe emirimo egikengera omuntu ekiina ekia olumbe giri no owunene, kane emirimo egigera no omuntu awa mu empurizanio ni Katonda giri no owunene owungi owuagana wutie?* 10 Ni kutio aeniki owunene owua endagano enkulu, nyingeeno wuwula no owunene, ino-ino ni wugeeraniwua no owunene owutambuuke owua endagano empia. 11 Kandi ni kuri mbwe endagano enkulu eyawanga no owunene owuairananga enyima yoona yaaza no owunene, katio endagano empia eri no owunene owutairana enyima, eri no owunene owungi owuagana wutie?

12 Kutio okurindirra okwa turi nakwo kuno, kugera ni tuwa no owusiani ino. 13 Ifwe ngaturi ki Muusa owasanikra ekieni kiae ne enguwo kugere Awaisraeli watawona owueru, ni wumuwuako ku ekieni.* 14 Ne emioyo giawu giawa emikalu bere aeniki nawuno nyingeeno ne endagano enkulu esomwa enguwo yazane eyo ekiasanikizia ewieni wiawu. Ni kutio aeniki ni Kristo engʼene nio oesa okutoolao enguwo egera ni watawona eyo.* 15 Namba nyingeeno ne endagirra eya Muusa esomwa enguwo eyo esanikizia emioyo giawu.* 16 Ne enyinga ezia omuntu-umuntu agaluuke agie ku Omwami, enguwo esanikizia eyo etoolwao. 17 Omwami ari Omwoyo kandi asi-uasi aa Omwoyo ogwa Omwami ari, awantu wawa owuyanga.* 18 Ni ifwe awa enguwo esanikizia ekieni yamala okutoolwao ku ewieni, tulagana† owunene owua Omwami. Tugalusiwua mu embonekano yaae tuwe no owunene owuisonga amiire goona, owunene owuema ku Omwami ori Omwoyo.*

Ewintu ewia iguzi eria kungulu ewiwiikwa mu entamu eya ilowa

1 Kutio aeniki Katonda amiire okutu-aa emirimo gino ku amasaasra gaae, ifwe ngatufwa omwoyo, yaaya.* 2 Tulowa enkola ezia ensuuko ezikolwa owuiwisi. Ngatusemerezia awantu lwona ngatuzoga amangʼana aga Katonda na amangʼana aga owuweeyi. Ni, tulagana owuene owuyanga emberi wa Katonda kandi awantu awagonziizie owuene waesa okuwona geeza mbwe ewia tukola wiri kuwuene.* 3 Ni namba na amangʼana amalootu aga tulanzia gaiwisiire awantu, gaiwisiire mala awantu awateeka.* 4 Katonda eya owuweeyi owa ku ekialo kino aziwiizie amaingirizio aga awantu awawula no okuganya kugere wataaza waawona owueru owua amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda agagamba-gamba ku owunene owua *Kristo, ori embonekano eya Katonda.* 5 Ngatuilanzia ifwe aweene yaaya, ni tulanzia mbwe Yesu Kristo ari Omwami, ni ifwe turi *awakurumu wiinyu ku Yesu owa tukorra.* 6 Aeniki Katonda owawoola mbwe, “Owueru ka-wuwale mu ekierema,”† nio owagera owueru wuae ni wumurika mu emioyo giifu kugere tumanye owunene wuae owuwonekana mu owueni owua Yesu Kristo.*

7 Ifwe tufwana ne entamu eziwumbirwe ni ilowa eziwikiirwemo amangʼana aga tulanzia agari ni iguzi eria kungulu. Kuri kutio kugere kumanyike geeza mbwe amaani amangi agaluguulwa gano ngagaema ku ifwe, aweene ni gaema ku Katonda. 8 Tunyigiiwue ne eminyako-nyaako embega ziona, ni ngatuatika. Ekialo kitutangʼangʼia, ni ngatufwa omwoyo.* 9 Tudambiziwua, ni Katonda akiari okutureka. Tukubwa ansi ni tuema-uema kandi. 10 Tugenda-genda no olumbe mu emiwiri owuire ki owuire ku amangʼana aga Yesu, kugere owulamu owua Yesu wulaganiwue mu emiwiri giifu.* 11 Aeniki, enyinga ziona ifwe awari awalamu, turi ampi no olumbe ku amangʼana aga Yesu, kugere owulamu wuae wuwonekane mu emiwiri giifu egifwa gino.* 12 Kutio ifwe turi ampi no olumbe enyinga ziona, ni inywe mutuukra owulamu owutariwua.*

13 Kwajojwa otino, “Nyawa no okuganya, kutio miire okuwoola.”† No omwoyo ogwa okuganya omulala ogwo, twona turi no okuganya kandi kutio tuwoola 14 aeniki tumanyire mbwe Katonda owaziusia *Omwami Yesu amutoola ku awafu arituziusia twona kiomo yaziusia Yesu, mala atuire ifwe alala ni inywe emberi waae.* 15 Gano goona gaikola kugere gawatunzie kandi owusiza owua Katonda wutuuke ku awantu awangi ino. Kutio, awantu awangi waaza okuikazia Katonda kuwungi kandi Katonda aaza okutuukra owunene.

16 Kutio ifwe ngatufwa omwoyo yaaya. Kukawa mbwe enze emiwiri giifu giwonekana egioneka, ni munsi tugalusiwua okuwa awayia owuire ki owuire. 17 Ni kutio aeniki eminyako-nyaako egia tuwona ku amiire amatono gino, gituira mu owunene owutariwua owukirre eminyako-nyaako egio ale.* 18 Kutio ifwe tuta emioyo giifu ku ewintu ewitawonwa, ni ngʼani ku ewintu ewiwonwa yaaya. Ee, aeniki ewintu ewiwonwa na amiiso wiwua, ne ewitawonwa na amiiso wiwaao amiire goona.*

Katonda amanyire geeza ekia turi kandi ndi no okuganya mbwe mwona mutumanyire geeza mu emioyo giinyu.* 12 Ifwe ngatugeezaania okuwiiyamira kandi yaaya, ni tuwa-aa iwaga eria okuitumbula ku amangʼana giifu kugere muese okuirania awantu awaitumburra ewintu ewiwonwa na amiiso ewitari ewintu ewiri mu omwoyo.* 13 Ni tuwonekana ki awa emitwe emiwiiwi, kuri kutio kugere Katonda atuukre owukaate. Ni, ni tuwonekana ki awa emitwe emilootu, kuri kutio kugere kuwatunzie inywe.* 14 Ee, olugonzi olwa Kristo lutunigirizia aeniki turi no owuene mbwe Kristo omuntu omulala yafwira awantu woona, kandi kutio woona waafwa nae.* 15 Kandi yafwira awantu woona kugere awantu awalamu wataaza waimenyira iwo aweene, ni wamenyere Kristo owawafwira kandi aziusiwua awa omulamu kandi.*

16 Kutio okuemera nyingeeno ngatutoola omuntu-umuntu mu engira eya embonekano eya enze. Kukawa mbwe nintio twatoola Kristo omwene, ngatukola otio kandi yaaya. 17 Kutio, no omuntu ari ku Kristo, awa omuntu omuyia. Owulamu owukulu wuwita kandi owulamu owuyia wutanika.* 18 Katonda nio okola gano goona, iye owatuirania mu empurizanio nae ni kuwitra ku Kristo, kandi atu-aa emirimo egia okureeta empurizanio agati yaae na awantu.* 19 Tuwoola mbwe Katonda yairanianga awantu awari ku ekialo kiona mu empurizanio nae ni kuwitra ku Kristo, na ata-ambiire awantu owuoni wuawu. Kandi yatu-aa emirimo egia okulanzizia awantu amangʼana aga okureeta empurizanio.* 20 Kutio ifwe turi awantu awa Kristo atumre ki awaimerezi waae, kandi Katonda omwene nio ogamba-gamba ni kuwitra ku eminwa giifu. Tuisasaama awantu ku eriina eria Kristo mbwe waganye wairane mu empurizanio ni Katonda. 21 Kristo ngakakola owuoni, ni Katonda yatoola owuoni wuifu ata ku iye* kugere ni kuwitra ku iye Katonda atuingizie ki awantu awigolovu.*

1 Ki awantu awakola emirimo alala ni Katonda, tuwaisasaama mbwe mutaaza mwatoola owusiza owua Katonda ari nawuo ni inywe wutono. 2 Aeniki Katonda awoola mu endagano otino,

“Na amiire agawurikaane gaatuuka, nyakuwurra,

kandi mu owuire owua owuinunuzi, nyakutunzia.”†

Nkulaga mbwe zino nizio enyinga ezia Katonda eziwurikaane. Ee, wuno niwuo owuire owua owuinunuzi.*

Emidambo ogia Paulo yawona mu emirimo giae

3 Ngatuagala okuteera omuntu-umuntu ekigazio ku engira, kugere emirimo giifu gitagambwa-gambwako uwiiwi. 4 Aa okukola otio, tukola wukalu ino kugere awantu wamanye mbwe turi *awakurumu awa Katonda kuwuene ku okukola olutuunyo mu emidambo, okuwona eminyako-nyaako kandi okuwita mu amangʼana amakalu.* 5 Lwona tumiire okuwa ni tukubwa, ni tuingiziwua mu owusiwe kandi kangi no omurima gukola ni ifwe erioga. Tukola emirimo emikalu, tuwona owuire owulamba endoolo ni zitatugiako mu amiiso kandi tuwa ne enzala. 6 Tumenyere owulamu owueru, tuwurra amangʼana, tusikia omwoyo kandi turi awa-aani. Tukangatiirwe no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda kandi turi no olugonzi olwa kuwuene.* 7 Tuwoola amangʼana agari kuwuene kandi amaani aga Katonda gaturimo. Tugingre ewia-iiye ewia owuigolovu nyakukono okumosi ni nyakukono okusaaza.** 8 Awandi watu-aa owunene, na awandi watutoola wutono. Awandi watugamba-gambako geeza, na awandi watugamba-gambako uwiiwi. Turi kuwuene, na awandi watutoola ki awasemerezia awantu. 9 Tumanyikaane geeza ni tutoolwa ki awatamanyiike. Tuwonekana awafwa ni tukiari awalamu, kandi tukubwa ni tukiari okufwa yaaya.* 10 Tuwona uwiiwi ni turi awasangaavu enyinga ziona. Turi awataka ni tugera awantu awangi ni wawa awanyazi. Turi amakono amasa kukawa mbwe ewintu wiona wiri ewiifu.**

11 Tumiire okugamba-gamba ni inywe owuyanga kandi ni tuwaiguriireo emioyo giifu, inywe Awakorintho. 12 Ifwe tuwalaga olugonzi olwa turi nalwo ku inywe, ni inywe mutuima olugonzi lwinyu. 13 Waana wange, kuagalana mbwe mwona mukole owufwanani ku okutuigurrao emioyo giinyu owuyanga.*

Paulo agaaniizie okuwa mu owulala na awakiari okuganya

14 Mutawa owulala na awantu awawula no okuganya ku Katonda. Kane ekia owuigolovu wuri nawuo owufwanani no owuoni niki? Kusi no owulalaaki owua owueru wuri nawuo ne ekierema? 15 Empurizanioki eya *Kristo ari nayo ni *Sataani? Omuntu ori no okuganya ku Katonda akareeta otie okukola alala no omuntu owula no okuganya ku Katonda? 16 Empurizanio agati ya *ekaalu eya Katonda ne ekaalu eya katonda ensaasa eriai? Aeniki ifwe ni ifwe ekaalu eya Katonda omulamu. Kuri mala kiomo Katonda omwene yawoola mbwe, “Nyiza okumenya nawo kandi nyiza okugenda-genda agati yaawu. Lwona nyiza okuwa Katonda waawu kandi woona wawe awantu wange.”†* 17 Omwami awoola otino,

“Kutio muwaememo,

kandi mugawukane nawo.

Muta-amba ekintu ekitari ekieru

kandi nyiza okuwaingizia.”†

18 Omwami oesa wiona awoola otino,

“Nyiza okuwa Soinyu

ni inywe muuza okuwa awazia na awaala wange”†

1 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, aeniki Katonda amiire okutuifuuwira ewintu wino wiona, mutuieruyie ku ewintu wiona ewimwamia omuwiri no omwoyo, kugere tulage Katonda owuti ku okuwa awantu aweeru awatuukre.

Paulo asangaarre na Awakorintho

2 Mutuingizie mu emioyo giinyu. Ifwe tukiari okukorra omuntu uwiiwi, tukiari okuona omuntu, lwona tukiari okusemerezia omuntu-umuntu, yaaya.* 3 Kusi mboola otio okuwakengera ekiina? Yaaya, miire okuwoola kuluweri mbwe muri ni iwaga mu emioyo giifu aa tuganyire okumenya namba okufwa ni inywe.* 4 Ndi no owusiani ino mu omwoyo gwange kandi nyiiyamia kuwungi ni inywe. Nyomereerwe ino kandi mu eminyako-nyaako giifu giona, ndi no owusangaavu owungi owutambuuke omurengo.

5 Olwa twatuuka Makedoonia, emiwiri giifu gino ngagikawuluuka, yaaya. Eminyako-nyaako giatuemera embega ziona, amae gatuemera enze no owuti wungi wuatuemera munsi.* 6 Ni Katonda o-ooreezia awantu awari ne emioyo egiri ampi okufwa, yaoreezia emioyo giifu no okuuza okwa Tiito.* 7 Kuwuene ngaʼni ku okuuza kwae kwengʼene, ni no okuoreezia okwa mwamuoreezia nakwo omwoyo kwona. Yatulaga kiomo amiiga gawaria ni inze, owululu owungi owua muwurra, ni kiomo mba-ambre wukalu. Kuno kwagera owusangaavu owua nyawanga nawuo wuwa owungi okukira.

8 Namba ni kuri mbwe itu eria nyawajojera riawa-aa owululu mu emioyo otio, nambona mbwe kwawanga okuwiiwi okurijoja. Kukawa mbwe nyawona uwiiwi, mbona mbwe itu riange riawa-aa owululu, ni mala ku amiire amatono gengʼene.* 9 Nyingeeno katio ndi omusangaavu, ngʼani mbwe mwawurra owululu yaaya, ni aeniki owululu owuo wuawaira mu okugaluka okureka amawi. Mwawurra owululu kiomo Katonda yaagalanga kandi kutio ngatukawanyaala emioyo mu engira-ungira. 10 Owululu owua Katonda aganyire nawuo wureeta okugaluka okureka amawi, okuira awantu mu okutuukra owuinunuzi. Owululu ki owuo wuwulamo okurra lunyima, no owululu owua ekialo wureeta olumbe. 11 Muwoneko kiomo owululu owua Katonda aganyire nawuo wureetre omwoyo ogwa okuifumizia Katonda mu owulamu wuinyu, no okuagala ino mbwe muwe awantu awawula owuwi ku ekingʼana-ukingʼana, okulowa owuoni, okuwa no owuti, okuwa na amiiga ni inze, no okuikaga okuswawuka awooni. Mu engira ziona mumiire okulagana geeza mbwe muri aweeru mu ekingʼana kino. 12 Kutio kukawa mbwe nyawajojera otio, okuagala kwange okuneene ngakukawanga okuingirra omuntu owakola owuwiiwi namba owakorrwa owuwiiwi yaaya, ni kugere aweene mulagane kiomo mututoorre owuzito emberi wa Katonda.* 13 Gano goona gagera ni tuwa awasangaavu.

Owugawuuke no owusangaavu wuifu owuo, twasangaala ino okuwona kiomo Tiito yawanga na asangaarre, aeniki yaomererwa ino ni inywe mwona. 14 Nyaitumbula ni inywe emberi waae, kandi ngamukansuusia nae yaaya. Ni mala kiomo amangʼana aga twawalaga gaawanga kuwuene, nintio lwona okuitumbula okwa twaitumbula ni inywe ku Tiito kuwonekaane geeza mbwe kwawanga kuwuene.* 15 Kandi olugonzi olwa Tiito ari nalwo ni inywe luri olungi ino, ino-ino na aingiriizie owuti owua muri nawuo kandi kiomo mwamuingizia no owuti kandi ni muadada.* 16 Ndi no owusangaavu mbwe nyesa okuwa no owusiani owutuukre ni inywe.

Awantu wasugaane wawe awa-aani

1 Waamwifu, nyingeeno tuagala mumanyeko kiomo Katonda amiire okulagana owusiza wuae ku awantu awa Katonda awari mu ekialo ekia Makedoonia. 2 Kukawa mbwe waawonanga eminyako-nyaako emizito kandi waawanga awataka ino, ngawakareka okuwa awasangaavu yaaya, ni waawa no omwoyo ogwa okufumia no owusiza owungi owuluguulwa. 3 Ndi omuwoni mbwe waafumia kuwungi kiomo waaesanga, ni namba owukirre kiomo waesanga, kandi waakola otio mu okuagala kwawu iwo aweene. 4 Waatuisasaama ni watuiyemba mbwe tuwaganyireko waezanie amasendi gaawu ku awantu awa Katonda awari Yerusaleemu. 5 Waakola owukirre namba kiomo twaingirizianga. Owusookere waaifumizizia Omwami, nikwo watuifumizizia mala kiomo Katonda yagalanga mbwe wakole.* 6 Kutio aeniki Tiito nio owatanika ni inywe okukola ewintu ewilootu wino, twamusawa mbwe agie emberi okukola ni inywe nawuno mutuusie emirimo egia owusiza egia mwatanika nae egio.* 7 Ni mala kiomo mukola ewintu wiona geeza ino, kiomo okuganya ku Katonda, okugamba-gamba geeza, okuwa no okumanya, okuifumizia Katonda alala no olugonzi olwa muri nalwo ni ifwe,* nintio lwona musugaane muwe no owu-aani owungi owuema mu emioyo emisiza.*

8 Ngʼambasikirra mbwe paka mukole otio, yaaya. Ni nyagala mbwe muigerere ku owu-aani owua awandi awo, kugere mumanye ni kuri mbwe olugonzi olwa muri nalwo luri olwa kuwuene. 9 Inywe mumanyire owusiza owua *Omwami Yesu *Kristo yawanga nawuo. Mumanyire mbwe kukawa mbwe yawanga omunyazi, ni ku amangʼana giinyu yawa omutaka kugere inywe muwe awanyazi ni kuwitra ku owutaka wuae.*

10 Ekia mpingirizia ku ingʼana rino ni mbwe kuri kulootu ni mutuusiizie ekia mwatanika okukola omwaka ogwawuere. Ee, aeniki ni inywe awaasooka okufumia ewintu kandi ngʼano okufumia kwengʼene, ni lwona ni inywe awaasooka okuwa no okuagala okwa okukola otio.* 11 Nyingeeno katio mumale emirimo egia mwatanika egio, kugere okuagala okwa okufumia kwinyu okwo kuambaane no okumala okukola otio, nikulondokana ni kiomo okutuukra kwinyu kufwanana. 12 Aeniki no omuntu afumia ku okuagala kwae omwene, empanwa eya afumiizie eingiziwua. Ekineene ngʼano owungi owua ekia omuntu afumia, ni no okufumia ekia omuntu ari nakio ku okuagala kwae iye omwene.*

13 Okuagala kwifu ngʼani mbwe awandi wawe no owuwuuwu, ni inywe muwe no owuzito yaaya. Ekia tuagala ni mbwe awantu wawe owuagani. 14 Ku enyinga zino ewintu ewia muri nawio ewingi wiiza okuizuzia okukeeya okwa wari nakwo, kugere woona nyanga waizuzie okukeeya okwa muriwa nakwo. Kutio mwona muriwa owuagani 15 mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe, “Owakunza amangi ngakawa na amangi okukira, kandi owakunza amatono ngakawa na amatono agakeeya, yaaya.”†

Tiito na awiiko waae

16 Nyikazia Katonda owata omusigo ogwa owulamu wuinyu mu omwoyo ogwa Tiito, owufwanani ni kiomo yanteera mu omwoyo. 17 Aeniki olwa twasawa Tiito mbwe aaze awawone, ngʼani mbwe yaganya mala okusawa kwifu kwengʼene, ni yaganya okuuza na ateereko omwoyo gwae gwona kandi mu okuingirizia kwae iye omwene. 18 Nyingeeno tumutuma na ari alala ni wamwifu omanyikaane geeza ku awantu awa Katonda woona ku emirimo giae emilootu egia okulanzia *injiili. 19 Owugawuuke na ago, yalowoolwe na amakaniisa mbwe agende-gende ni ifwe ni tuira ewintu ewifumiziiwue Katonda Yerusaleemu. Gino ne emirimo egi-aa Omwami iifu owunene kandi egilagana kiomo emioyo giifu giagala okutunzia awiina wiifu. 20 Ngatuagala kiweeo ekintu ekiesa okugamba-gambwako uwiiwi ku engira eya turindra nayo amasendi amangi aga awantu wafumia gano. 21 Aeniki okuagala kwifu okuneene no okukola ewilootu ewisugaane, ngʼane emberi wa Katonda engʼene, ni namba mu amiiso aga awantu woona.

22 Alala ni wawiri awo, tuwatumra wamwifu wundi omiire okulagana geeza emberi iifu mu engira enyingi mbwe ari omuntu oifumiizie no omwoyo gwae gwona, kandi nyingeeno owusiani owungi owua ari nawuo ni inywe wutulaga otio geeza owukirre. 23 Tiito, iye ndi nae mu owulala kandi ari omukozi omwina wange. Ni waamwifu awandi awo, iwo wari awantu awaimeriire amakaniisa kandi wagera ni Kristo atuukra owunene ino.* 24 Kutio mukorre awantu wano enkola ezilagana olugonzi olwa muri nalwo, kugere amakaniisa ago gawone kandi gaganye mbwe okuitumbula kwifu ni inywe kuri kuwuene.*

1 Kutio nambona ekigera ni nsugaane mbajojere ku amangʼana aga ewintu ewia muagala okufumizia awantu awa Katonda.* 2 Aeniki manyire kiomo emioyo giinyu giagala okufumia kandi miire okuwa ni nyitumburra Awakristo awa Makedoonia ni mbalaga mbwe okuemera omwaka ogwawuere, inywe Awakristo awa Akaaya mwamiire okuwa ni muikagre okufumia. Omwoyo ogwa okufumia ogwa muri nagwo guno, gumiire okugera owungi wuawu nyingeeno woona wagala okukola owufwanani. 3 Ni ntuma waamwifu awo kugere okuitumbula okwa tumiire okuwa ni tuitumbula ni inywe, ku ekingʼana kino, kutaaza kwawa okwa owusa, ni muwe ni muikagre mala kiomo nyawoola mbwe muuza okuwa.* 4 Aeniki, omulala ku Awakristo awa Makedoonia na aizukiire aaze ni inze eyo mala atuukre ni mukiari okufumia amasendi giinyu mute alala, tukawa ne ensuuko ku okuwa kwifu awasiani ino ni inywe, kandi mwona mukawa ne ensuuko. 5 Kutio, nyawuine mbwe kulootu ni ntumre waamwifu ku okuganya wano okuuza okuwawona emberi kugere mumale emipango giinyu egia okukunza amasendi giinyu no owusiza, kiomo mwaifuuwa okukola. Ni mukorre mutio, okufumia kwinyu kuuza okuwa okuri ku okugonzia kwinyu, okutari ku okunigiriziwua.

Owu-aani owuema ku omwoyo omusangaavu

6 Mutalawira amangʼana aga awakulu waawoola mbwe: “No omuntu akomeere kuwungi, nintio agesa kuwungi, kandi no omuntu akomeere wutono nintio agesa wutono.”* 7 Omuntu ki omuntu asugaane afumie ekia awisiizie mu omwoyo gwae omwene mbwe agala okufumia. Ataaza yafumia na airania okukono kwae enyima, lwona ataaza yafumia ku okunigiriziwua aeniki Katonda agonziizie ino omuntu ofumia no omwoyo omusangaavu. 8 Katonda ari na amaani aga okuwasereka ne ewintu wiona ewia emioyo giinyu giagala. Nikuemao muuza okuwa ne ewingi ewikirre kiomo mukaagale, mugawire awandi awari no okuagala. 9 Mala kiomo kwajojwa mu endagano otino:

“Omuntu omuigolovu afumia ewintu wiae ku awataka;

owu-aani no owusiza wuae wuwula ne entuuko.”†

10 Katonda o-aa omurimi emwo eya okukomera kandi o-aa awantu okuria, aaza okusonga ewintu wiao kuwungi kugere osonge okuwa omu-aani oesana no owusiza. 11 Katonda aaza okugera muwe awanyazi mu engira ziona kugere muwe awa-aani awasiza enyinga ziona kandi awantu waaza okuiranizia Katonda otioo ku owusiza wuinyu.*

12 Nyagala mumanye mbwe emirimo egia mukola gino ngagitunzia mala awantu awa Katonda ku ewintu ewia wakeeyire wiengʼene, ni lwona giiza okugera awantu wairanizie Katonda otioo kuwungi owukirre. 13 Owu-aani no owusiza wuinyu wulagana geeza mbwe mutiire amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda agari ku Yesu *Kristo kandi okwo kuuza okugera awantu watondowole Katonda ni wamu-aa owunene. 14 Nyingeeno waaza okuwasawira ni wateereko omwoyo ino, ku owusiza owungi owukirre owua Katonda amiire okuwa-aa. 15 Katonda aikaziwue ino ku empanwa yaae eluguulwa!

1 Inze Paulo mbaisasaama ni nyiisiizie ansi kandi no owuoreevu owua *Kristo. Ee, inze owa muwoola mbwe ndi omuti mu okugamba-gamba ni ndi ni inywe, ni mbwe ni ndi ale nikwo mba no owusiani owua okugamba-gamba ino! 2 Nsawa mbwe ni nyiza okuuza, kutaaza kwannigirizia okuwa omululu mu okugamba-gamba kiomo mbona mbwe nyiza nyaawa na awandi ku awantu awaingirizia mbwe ifwe tumenyere mu engira efwanani na awa ekialo.* 3 Ee, kukawa mbwe tumenyere ku ekialo, ngatulwana iiye kiomo awa ekialo walwana, yawa. 4 Ewintu ewia tulwana nawio iiye ngawiri ewia ku ekialo yaaya. Ni wiri na amaani aga Katonda aga okugemula ewiwanga ewia awazigu ewiewerwe wukalu. Tuona okuikululana mu amangʼana amakalu bere* 5 alala no okuitumbula okulowera awantu okumanya Katonda. Lwona, tuamba amaingirizio aga awantu goona twata mu owusiwe kugere gawe ansi eya Kristo.* 6 Kandi ni mumiire okuwa awantu awari no okuwurra okutuukre, tuuza okuikaga okuswawuka awantu awasigaale woona awatawurra amangʼana aga Kristo.*

7 Inywe mukenga ekiina nikulondokana ne ewintu ewia enze ewiwonwa na amiiso. Ni, na ario omuntu omanyire mu omwoyo gwae mbwe kuwuene ari omuntu owa Kristo, asugaane aingirizie kawiri kandi amanye mbwe twona turi awantu awa Kristo mala kiomo ari. 8 Ee, namba ni ntaniike okuitumbulako wutono ku amaani aga Omwami yatu-aa okuwaomboka, ni ngʼano okuwatagula, ensuuko ngaziiza okumpamba yaaya.* 9 Ngʼanyagala kuwonekane mbwe mbatiisia na amatu aga mbajojera, yawa. 10 Mboola otio aeniki awandi ku inywe wawoola watino, “Amatu aga Paulo gagingre amangʼana agari na amaani kandi amazito-zito ino, ni na ario iye omwene, ari omuntu omunyowu-nyoowu, kutio ewia awoola ewio wiri wusa.” 11 Awantu ki awo wasugaane wamanye mbwe ekia turi mu amatu giifu, nikio tuuza okuwa mu enkola olwa tuuza okuuza eyo.*

12 Ifwe tuwula no owusiani owua okuifwanania na awantu awaiyamia iwo aweene awo. Okuiaganania okwa waiaganania iwo aweene kandi okuifwanania okwa waifwanania iwo aweene kulagana mbwe ngawari awaganga yaaya.* 13 Kukawa kutio, ifwe ngatuuza okuitumbula ku ekintu ekiri enze eya emirimo egia tukola. Tuuza mala okuitumbula ku ewintu ewiri munsi mu emirimo egia Katonda atueere, kandi namba inywe muri munsi eya oluwuwi olwo.* 14 Kuweeko mbwe ngatukaaza tuwatuukako, ao otio tukatambuuke oluwuwi mu okuitumbula kwifu. Ni tukiari, aeniki ifwe ni ifwe awaasooka okuuza tutuuka aa muri, ni tugingre amangʼana amalootu agagamba-gamba ku Kristo. 15 Lwona ngatutambuka oluwuwi ku okuitumbula ku emirimo egia awandi niwo awakorre, yaaya. Ni, turi no okuganya mbwe kiomo okuganya kwinyu kuuza okugia emberi okukoma, nintio lwona iwaga eria emirimo giifu agati iinyu riiza okuwa eriiyaagu, 16 kugere tulanzie amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda mu ewitemo ewiri ale okutambuka ewiinyu. Ee, aeniki ifwe ngatuagala okuitumbula ku emirimo egimiire okukolwa mu ekitemo ekia owundi.* 17 Ne endagano ewoola mbwe, “No omuntu aagala okuitumbula, ka-aitumbule ku ewintu ewia Omwami akorre.”†* 18 Aeniki ngʼani mbwe awantu awaiyama aweene niwo awaganyirwe nawo yaaya, ni na awantu awa Omwami omwene nio ogamba-gambako geeza.*

1 Mbasawa mbwe muganye mumpe iwaga namba mu owumayaanu owua okugamba-gamba kwange okwo. Ni, kuri kuwuene mbwe mumiire okuwa ni muganyire ne enkola yange eyo.* 2 Iyari erimpamba ni inywe, ni iyari eria Katonda ari nario ni inywe. Ni kutio aeniki nyawaifuuwira omusaaza omulala ori *Kristo ooza okuwa-amba amakono ki awaala awari no owugima awakiari okuambwa amakono.* 3 Ni nyingeeno ndi no owuti mbwe kiomo enzoka yasemerezia Aawa no owuganga-ganga wuayo, mbwe mwona muuza mwasemereziwua mu amaingirizio nawuno mureke engira endamu kandi enzeru eya okukorra Kristo no omwoyo omulala.* 4 Aeniki, inywe no omuntu awaazreko awalanzizie Yesu wundi ogawuuke no owa twawalanzizia, namba ni muingizia omwoyo gundi ogugawuuke no *Omwoyo Omweru owa mwatuukra namba amangʼana amalootu gandi agagawuuke na aga mwaganyako, muganya-uganya mu engira enyoowu.* 5 Ni ngʼampingirizia mbwe ndi enyima ino ku *awatumwa awaieta awakaate awo.* 6 Andi ngʼandi omulootu mu okugamba-gamba kiomo iwo, no okumanya okulootu ni ndi nakwo, kandi kino mumiire okutuwonako mu engira ziona.*

Nyakola wukalu okuwona mbwe ngʼandi omusigo ku inywe mu engira-ungira kandi nkiaza okuwa-uwa otio.* 10 Ku owuene owua Kristo owundimo, mboola mbwe awulao-uwula omuntu, mu ekitemo ekia Akaaya ano, ooza okundowera okuwa no okuitumbula okwa ndi nakwo kuno.* 11 Kusi nyareka okuwa omusigo ku inywe otio aeniki ngʼambagonziizie? Yaaya, namba Katonda omwene amanyire mbwe mbagonziizie.

12 Kandi nyiza okugia emberi ni nkola ekia nkola kino kugere awantu awagala iwaga eria okumanywa mbwe waagana ni ifwe ku ewintu ewia waitumbula nawio ewio watatuukra iwaga erio.* 13 Awantu ki awo wari awatumwa awa owuweeyi, awaita mbwe wari awatumwa awa Kristo, ni wari awemirimo awasemerezia awantu.* 14 Ne ekio ngʼane ekintu ekigeni, aeniki namba *Sataani omwene aita mbwe ari *enyankoi ori no owueru. 15 Kutio ngʼane ekintu ekiluguuzia mbwe awemirimo awa Sataani woona waita ki awemirimo awakola ewintu ewiigolovu. Owutuuko wuawu wuriwa owusugre ne enkola ziawu ezio.*

16 Reka nyiinuule okuwoola mbwe omuntu ataaza yantoola ki omumaya. Ni, ni kuri mbwe nintio muntoola, kane muntoole-utoola kiomo mukatoola omuntu omumaya, kugere noona nyitumbuleko wutono. 17 Mu amangʼana aga okuitumbula gano, ngʼangamba-gamba kiomo Omwami omwene akagamba-gambre yaaya, ni mala ki omuntu omumaya. 18 Aeniki awantu awangi waitumbula mu engira eya awa ekialo wakola, inze noona nyiza okuitumbula. 19 Aweene muri awaganga ino, kutio muganya okuwurra amangʼana aga owumaya! 20 Kuwuene muganya namba awantu awawata okuwa *awakurumu waawu, awawanyunyuuta wawareka amasakala, awakola ni inywe uwiiwi, awagala okuwa emberi namba awawasuusia. 21 Nkuba mpola mbwe ifwe twawanga awagata ino, okuwakorra ewintu ewia awantu wandi awo waawakorra.

Ni, ni ngamba-gamba ki omumaya, mboola mbwe ekintu-ukintu ekia omuntu ari omusiani okuitumbula nakio, noona nyesa okuwa omusiani okuitumbula nakio. 22 Ni wawoola mbwe wari Awaibrania, noona ndi Omuibrania. Ni wari Awaisraeli, noona ndi Omuisraeli. Ni wari awiizukulu awa Abraamu, noona ndi omuizukulu owa Abraamu.* 23 Ni wari awakozi awa emirimo awa Kristo, inze nkorra Kristo geeza okuwakira. (Ni mboola otio ngamba-gamba ki omulalu.) Miire okukola emirimo wukalu okuwakira, miire okuwa mu owusiwe kangi okuwakira, miire okuswawukwa enkowa wuwiiwi okuwakira, kandi kangi ino miire okuwona okufwa chee.* 24 *Awayaudi waa-nkuba enkowa amakumi asatu ni kienda, kataanu.* 25 Entunda isatu nyakubwa ne enkowa, nyakubwa na amawaale kalala, owuato wumiire okunyatikra mu enyanza kasatu kandi miire okuwa mu enyanza owuire no omuwasu ni ndi mala ku igogo.* 26 Miire okuwa mu engendo ezitawua. Miire okuwona okufwa mu enzuzi, mu amakono aga awasakuzi na awiifu Awayaudi alala na awantu awatari Awayaudi. Miire okuwona okufwa mu emigizi, ne enze eya emigizi, mu enyanza kandi mu amakono aga waamwifu ku Kristo awa owuweeyi.* 27 Miire okukola emirimo wukalu na amakono no oluuya kandi kangi miire okuwa ni mbona owuire owulamba, endoolo ni zitangiako mu amiiso. Miire okuwa ne enzala no owulwo kandi kangi miire okuwa ni nsiwa okuria aa ntaria. Lwona embeo emiire okundia ni mbula enguwo endootu ezia okuiwoya.* 28 Owugawuuke ne emidambo eginyizra, owuire ki owuire mba no omusigo ogwa okuwona mbwe amakaniisa goona gagia geeza. 29 No omuntu ari omugata, noona mpurra ni ndi omugata, kandi no omuntu agerre omwina waae na agwa mu owuina, enda yange eyia nae ino.**

30 Ni kunnigirizia mbwe paka nyiitumbule, ni nyiza okuitumbula ne ewintu ewilagana owugata wuange.* 31 Katonda ori Swawu *Omwami iifu Yesu, osugre no okutondowolwa amiire goona, amanyire mbwe ngʼambeeya yaaya.* 32 Omukangasi owa omugizi ogwa Damaskaasi, ansi eya owuami owua Omwami Aretaasi, yasikirra mbwe omugizi ogwo gurindwe wukalu kugere nyambwe ni mbita. 33 Ni nyateewua mu entayi nikwo nyisiwua ansi mu iwanga eriawanga ku enzizi eya omugizi, mala mizuka mu amakono gaae.*

Amaani aga Katonda gawonekana geeza mu owugata

1 Paka ngie emberi no okuitumbula kwange. Kukawa mbwe kiwulao ekintu ekia okuitumbula ku-aa omuntu, nyagala katio okugamba-gamba ku owusasuko ne ewintu ewia Omwami yansanukurra. 2-3 Ario omuntu oganyire ku *Kristo owa manyire owatoolwa airwa ku igulu eria okusatu emiaka ikumi ni ine egimiire okuwita. Katonda engʼene nio omanyire mbwe yagia mu omuwiri nakuwa enze eya omuwiri, inze ngʼamanyire yaaya. 4 Yairwa Paradiiso aa yawurra ewintu ewikaate ewiluguulwa ewitaganyiirwe omuntu okuwoola. 5 Ekintu ekiaikola kino, omuntu aesa okuitumbula nakio. Ni inze ni kuri okuitumbula, ni nyiza okuitumbula no owugata wuange. 6 Namba ni mbwine okuitumbula, ngʼanyiza okuwa omumaya aeniki ewia mboola wiri kuwuene. Ni ndowa okukola otio kugere awantu wataaza wantoola ki ori kungulu okukira kiomo kusugre ne ewintu ewia nkola ne ewia mboola,* 7 ino-ino ku ewintu ewikaate ewia nyawona mu owusasuko. Kutio kugere ntaaza nyaaza nyagingwa kungulu, omulala ku *enyankoi awa *Sataani yatumwa mu omuwiri gwange okumfumuta owululu ki iwua.* 8 Nyaisasaama Omwami kasatu mbwe arintoorreo. 9 Ni iye yaanyirania na awoola mbwe, “Yaaya, owusiza wuange wukusugre, aeniki amaani gange gawonekana geeza ino mu owugata.” Kutio, nyiza okugia emberi okuitumbula ku owugata wuange ni ndi omusangaavu, kugere amaani aga Kristo gawe mu owulamu wuange.* 10 Ekio nikio ekigera ni ntoola okuwa omugata, okunyegwa, okuwita mu amakalu, okuwona emidambo ne eminyako-nyaako, wiona ki ewintu ewilootu ku amangʼana aga Kristo. Aeniki enyinga ezia ndi omugata, nizio ezia ndi omukalangufu.

Awakorintho wa-ambre Paulo omwoyo

11 Ni inywe awagera ni ngamba-gamba ki omumaya otino. Inze nsugaane okugingwa kungulu ni inywe, aeniki kukawa mbwe ngʼandi ekintu otio, ni kiwulao ekintu ekia awaieta ‘*awatumwa awanene’ awo wakola ekia ntakola yaaya.* 12 Kuwuene nyakola agati iinyu ewintu ewilagana kuwuene mbwe omuntu ari omutumwa, kiomo ewilago, amankono ne ewintu ewiluguulwa, ni nkola olutuunyo olungi.* 13 Kusi ngʼanyamiire okuwakorra geeza owuagani na amakaniisa gandi, owugawuuke no okuwa mbwe ngʼanyakawa omusigo ku inywe kwengʼene? Mundekere, ni kuri mbwe nyawakorra uwiiwi ku okutawaweera omusigo!*

14 Nyingeeno katio nyiikagre okuuza okuwagenia olwa okusatu, kandi mwakuuno lwona ngʼanyagala okuuza okuwaweera omusigo, yaaya. Ni kutio aeniki ni inywe nyagala, ni ngʼane ewintu wiinyu yaaya. Kane awiiwuzi ngʼaniwo awawiikra awaana waawu omwandu? Awaana iwo ekia wawiikra awiiwuzi waawu niki? 15 Kutio nyiza okuwa omusangaavu okuwafumizia ewintu wiange wiona kandi noona nyiifumie inze omwene ku inywe. Katio kiomo mbagonziizie owutambukaane otio, inze muuza okungonzia wutono?* 16 Muesa okuganya ni inze mbwe ngatukawa-aa owuzito namba wutono. Na awandi iwo wakiawoola mbwe nyakola na amaganga-ganga okuwanyaga ewintu! 17 Mundageko, na ario namba omulala ku awantu awa nyatuma ku inywe, owawatoolako ekintu mu engira embiiwi?* 18 Nyasawa Tiito awaazeko eyo kandi nyamutuma aaza ni wamwifu wundi. Kusi kirio ekintu ekia Tiito yawatoolako mu engira embiiwi? Yawa, mumanyire geeza mbwe Tiito yakola mala no omwoyo omulala ogwa twona tumiire okuwa ni tukola nagwo kandi yalonda mala engira endala eya twalonda.*

19 Kusi muingirizia mbwe wuno tuilagana ki awalootu emberi iinyu? Tumiire okuwa ni tugamba-gamba ki awantu awari ku Kristo emberi wa Katonda, kandi nyagala muwe no okumanya awiiko wange, mbwe ewintu ewia tukola wiona tukola kugere mukalanguke mu okuganya ku Katonda. 20 Ntia mbwe ni nyiza okuwaazako, andi ngʼanyiza okuwatuukra ni muri kiomo nkaagaale muwe, kandi inywe mwona andi mureke okuntuukra ni ndi kiomo mukaagaale mbe. Owuti wumpamba mbwe andi nyiza okutuukra ensoolo, ni iyari, no okusu, ne engawuzi, no okuwoola awantu uwiiwi, no okufumia owukuna owua awantu, no okuitumbula alala ne erioga, ni wiizuule agati iinyu.* 21 Ndi no owuti mbwe ni nyiza okuuza eyo, Katonda wange aaza okunyisia ansi emberi iinyu, kandi mbwe omwoyo gwange guuza okuwa omululu na awantu awangi awaakola owuoni ni wakiari okugaluka wareka enkola emwamu, no owusondo alala no okugonzia enkola ezia ensuuko ezia wamiire okukola.*

Okusiagizia okwa Paulo okutuukre

1 Okuuza okwa nyiza okuwaazako mwakuuno kuno, kuuza okuwa okwa okusatu. Kuri mala kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe, “Riwulao ingʼana eriiza okuganywa ni ritasigiikwe na awawoni wawiri namba wasatu.”†* 2 Nyamala okuwasiagizia olwa nyaaza eyo mu okuuza kwange okwa okuwiri, kandi nyingeeno nyiinuula ekia nyawalaga, ni ndi ale ni inywe. Mboola mbwe, ngʼanyiza okureka-ureka awantu awaakola owuoni kale namba wuangu ano ni ntawakoriire ekisugaane nawo,* 3 aeniki muagala ekilago ekilagana mbwe *Kristo agamba-gamba ni kuwitra ku inze. Kristo oyo ngari omugata okulagana amaani gaae ku inywe yaaya, na ari na amaani ino ku inywe. 4 Aeniki ni kuwuene mbwe *yawambwa ku omusalaaba mu owugata, ni nyingeeno ari omulamu ku amaani aga Katonda. Mu engira efwanani, ifwe twona turi awagata, ni muuza okuwona ni tumenyere na amaani aga Katonda mala kiomo Kristo.*

5 Muiwarreko geeza, muwone ni kuri mbwe kuwuene mukiari mu okuganya. Ee, muigeraanie mumanye. Ngamumanyire mbwe Yesu Kristo awamenyeremo? Ni kutari kutio, musugaane mumanye mbwe ao otio mugwire embuuzio eyo!* 6 Ndi no okuganya mbwe muuza okutuukra mbwe ifwe tukiari okugwa embuuzio eyo yaaya, ni tugiwitre. 7 Tuwasawira Katonda kugere mutaaza mwakola ekintu ekiwiiwi. Ngʼani mbwe awantu waaze wawone mbwe tuwitre embuuzio, ni kugere mukole ewintu ewisugaane kukawa mbwe awandi watuwona ki awagwire embuuzio. 8 Aeniki ifwe ngatuesa okukola ekintu-ukintu ekilwania owuene yaaya, ni tukola mala ewintu ewisigika owuene. 9 Ifwe turi awasangaavu okuwa awagata, inywe ni muri awakalangufu. Kandi okusawa kwifu kuri mbwe mukome muwe awantu awalongoole awawulako embala.* 10 Kino nikio ekigera ni mbajojera itu rino ni nkiari ale ni inywe, kugere ni nyiza okuuza ntaaza nyawa omululu ni inywe ni nkola na amaani aga Omwami ampeere okuwaomboka nago, ni ngʼano okuwatagula.*

Amakeezio agatuukre

11 Waamwifu owutuukre, muwe no owusangaavu. Muirane mu owulamu owua Katonda aagala. Mukalangusanie omuntu no omwina waae, muwe na amaingirizio amalala kandi mumenye no owuolu omuntu no omwina waae. Kandi Katonda owa olugonzi no owuolu aaza okuwa ni inywe.*

12 Mukeezanie omuntu no omwina waae na amakeezio aga awada awagonzaanie.* 13 Awantu awa Katonda woona wawatumiire amakeezio. 14 Owusiza owua *Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo, olugonzi olwa Katonda, no owulala owua turi nawuo no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, wuwe ni inywe mwona.

Ebaruwa eya Paulo yajojera

AWAGALATIA

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Ebaruwa eno yajojwa no *Omutumwa Paulo mu emiaka egia 48–49 ni yawanga Antioki, lunyima ne ekiina ekinene ekia Yerusaleemu kiaikola (Awat 15). Yagitumra Awakristo awa amakaniisa aga ekitemo ekia Galatia ekiri *Eesia Ekitono mu ekialo ekia Awaruumi, aga waatanika mu olugendo lwawu olwa kuluweri olwa okulanzia *injiili. Ni waamala okuemao, Awakristo *Awayaudi awaaza mu amakaniisa gano, waalaganga Awakristo awatari Awayaudi mbwe kukaweere kulootu ni wairrwe *enyangu kandi warindre endagirra ezia Awayaudi zindi ziona.

Mu ebaruwa eno, Paulo awagaania mbwe ngakunigirizia otari Omuyaudi okuirwa enyangu kandi mbwe arinde endagirra nikwo awe Omukristo kuwuene. Amangʼana gano gaamunyaasiako ni Petro ni Baranabaasi, alala na *Awafarisaayo, nawuno wairana Yerusaleemu okuwurizania emberi owa *awagaaka awa ekaniisa ni wari ni Tiito ni Baranabaasi. Kwawa kutio aeniki Awakristo Awayaudi wano waagereranga owugawuuke. Paulo yawagaania na awalaga mbwe iye ari omutumwa kuwuene kandi mbwe Owukristo ngawuiyegeeke ku okuirwa enyangu nakuwa okurinda endagirra ezia Awayaudi yawa.

Nyakola otio ni turi aweene, ni nyagala mbwe amangʼana gange ga-ambaane na agaawu. Aeniki nyawanga no owuti mbwe wagaloweko, emirimo giange gikaweere egia owusa.* 3 Kandi Tiito owa nyawanga nae, owawanga na atairrwe *enyangu aeniki ngakawanga Omuyaudi, ngakanigiriziwua okuirwa enyangu, kiomo Awayaudi wandi wagalanga. 4 Ekiatuira eyo na amangʼana aga awantu awatari waamwifu awa kuwuene awatuingiramo owuiwisi.

Paulo agaania Petro ku okuisemerezia

11 Gario amiire aga Petro yawanga na aazre Antioki. Nyamugaania mu amiiso ni mulaga mbwe yakolanga wuwiiwi. 12 Kuluweri yawanga na aria alala na Awakristo awatari Awayaudi, no olwa Awayaudi wandi awawanga ni waganyire ku Kristo waaza ni waema ku Yakoobo, yatanika okukenga amagulu ku okuizoga na awantu awatari Awayaudi aeniki yatia awantu awa omuganda ogwa Awayaudi.* 13 Awayaudi wandi awasigaale woona waaingira nae mu enkola eya okuisemerezia eno, aa namba Baranabaasi yoona yareka engira endamu. 14 Olwa nyawona mbwe ngawakalondokananga no owuene owua injiili, nyagaania Petro emberi wa awantu woona ntino, “Iwue ori Omuyaudi, no omenyere ki omuntu otari Omuyaudi. Oreeta otie katio, okunigirizia awantu awatari Awayaudi okulonda enkola ezia Awayaudi?

15 “Ifwe awari Awayaudi ku okuiwulwa, awatari awantu awooni kiomo tueta awantu awatari Awayaudi awatamanyire ensikirra, 16 tumanyire mbwe omuntu ngaingiziwua mu empurizanio ni Katonda ku okulonda ensikirra, ni mala ku okuganya ku Yesu Kristo.

Tununulwa ku okuganya, ni ngʼani ku okurinda ensikirra

1 Inywe Awagalatia awasiru wano, owalogre naanu? Nyawalaga amangʼana ku okufwa okwa Yesu *Kristo ku omusalaaba nawuno gawaingirra geeza ino mala ki awaakuwona na amiiso. 2 Mundageko ekintu ekilala kino kugera nkimanye: Inywe mwatuukra *Omwoyo Omweru ku okulonda *ensikirra, kusi ku okuganya amangʼana aga mwawurra? 3 Muri awasiru mutie? Mwatanika olugendo olwa okuganya geeza no Omwoyo Omweru, ni nyingeeno mugeezaania okuwutuusia na amaani giinyu aweene! 4 Mwamiire okuwona emidambo emingi otio ku amangʼana aga *injiili wusaasa, kusi? Yaaya, kuwuene ngamukainyaasia wusa. 5 Katonda awa-aa Omwoyo Omweru kandi akola amankono agati iinyu ku okulonda okwa mulondre nakwo ensikirra, kusi ku okuganya okwa mwaganya amangʼana aga mwawurra?*

6 Reka tutooleko Abraamu. Endagano ewoola otino, “Abraamu yaganya amangʼana aga Katonda yamulaga, kandi okwo kwagera Katonda amuwala ki omuntu omuigolovu.”†* 7 Kutio muwe no okumanya mbwe awantu awari no okuganya ku Katonda niwo awari awaana awa Abraamu.* 8 *Endagano yawoola kale mbwe Katonda yaazanga okuingizia awantu woona mu empurizanio nae ku okuganya. Katonda yaifuuwira Abraamu amangʼana amalootu gano olwa yamulaga otino, “Ewialo wiona wiriserekwa ni kukuwitrako.”† 9 Kutio awantu awari no okuganya waserekwa alala ni Abraamu, omuntu owa okuganya.

10 Awantu woona awaiteere ku okulonda ensikirra wari awafuuwrwe, aeniki kwajojwa otino, “Awantu awatagia emberi okukola amangʼana goona agajojrwe mu Ebuuki eya Ensikirra, wafuuwirwe.”†* 11 Kuri kuwueru mbwe awulao-uwula omuntu oesa okuingiziwua mu empurizanio ni Katonda ku okulonda ensikirra. Ni kutio aeniki endagano ewoola mbwe, “Omuntu omulongoole ariwa omulamu ku okuganya kwae.”†* 12 Ensikirra ne eisigiike ku okuwa no okuganya, yawa. Owugawuuke na ago, kwajojwa mbwe, “Omuntu okola amangʼana goona aga ensikirra ewoola, iye aaza okulama ku ensikirra ezio.”†* 13 Kristo yatuoloorra omusango atuta owuyanga ku omufuuwo ogwa ensikirra, ku okuganya kwae okufuuwua ku iwaga riifu. Kuri mala kiomo kwajojwa mbwe, “Omuntu-umuntu awambrwe ku omuti, ari omuntu ofuuwirwe.”†* 14 Yatuoloorra omusango kugere ni kuwitra ku iye, ensereki eya Katonda ya-aa Abraamu eese okutuuka ku awantu woona ni kuwitra ku Kristo Yesu, kugere ku okuganya tutuukre Omwoyo Omweru owa Katonda yaifuuwa okuesana.*

Ensikirra ngekagalusia ekia Katonda yaifuuwa

15 Waamwifu, mureke nkoleko ne ekiikola mu owulamu wuifu owuire ki owuire, ki ekilago. Mala kiomo ngakuesekana omuntu okugalusia namba okulowa endagano emiire okuteewuao, nintio okuifuuwa okwa Katonda kuona kufwanana. 16 Katonda yaifuuwira Abraamu alala no olwiwulo lwae. Endagano ngewoola mbwe “ne enziwulo ziao” okulagana awantu awangi yaaya, ne ewoola mbwe “no olwiwulo lwao,”† okulagana mbwe yagamba-gambanga ku omuntu omulala, ori Kristo.* 17 Ekia mboola ni ntino. Ensikirra eyareetwa emiigo 430 lunyima, neona endagano eyateewuao ni Katonda alala no okwifuuwa okwa omwene yaifuuwa, yaaya.* 18 Aeniki ni kuri mbwe tukatuukra ekia Katonda yaifuuwa mala ku okurinda ensikirra, kane ekia Katonda yaifuuwa ngakuituukrana ku okuganya. Ni Katonda, ku owusiza wuae, ya-aa Abraamu ekia yamuifuuwira.*

19 Kane katio, ekigera ne ensikirra yareetwa niki? Yareetwa kugere wuwonekanre awantu mbwe ewintu ewia wakola wiri owuoni. Ne ensikirra yawanga ne emirimo nawuno Olwiwulo olwa Katonda yagamba-gambako mu okuifuuwa kwae oria aaze. Katonda ya-aa *enyankoi ensikirra a-ee Muusa, omuntu owaimerra agati ya Katonda na awantu.* 20 Awantu wawiri ni wakola empurizanio omuntu asugaane aweeo oimerre agati yaawu. Ni Katonda iye yakola omwene olwa yaifuuwira Abraamu.

21 Kusi tukawoola mbwe ao otio ensikirra elwania okuifuuwa okwa Katonda yaifuuwa kuno? Yaaya, ngʼakuri kutio, yawa! Aeniki kuweeko mbwe ensikirra eyaesanwa yaesanga okureeta owulamu, kane kangato owuigolovu emberi wa Katonda wukaituukraane mala ku okurinda ensikirra.* 22 Ne endagano ewoola geeza mbwe awantu woona awari ku ekialo wari mu owusiwe owua owuoni, kugere engira endala esigala eya wakatuukramo ekia Katonda yaifuuwa, eri okuganya ku Yesu Kristo engʼene.* 23 Amangʼana aga okuganya ku Kristo gano ni gaawanga ni gakiari okuuza, twona ensikirra yatuta ifwe *Awayaudi mu owusiwe kandi twaigarrwa munsi nawuno amangʼana aga okuganya gano gaaza. 24 Kutio ensikirra yateewuao okutuweera omurinzi iifu nawuno Kristo aaze, kugere tuingiziwue mu empurizanio ni Katonda ku okuganya. 25 Nyingeeno katio, ngaturi ansi eya owukangasi owua ensikirra kandi yaaya, aeniki okuganya kumiire okuuza.*

26 Mwona muri awaana* awa Katonda ni kuwitra ku okuganya okwa muri nakwo ku Yesu Kristo,* 27 aeniki inywe awaawa mu owulala ni Kristo mu *owubatiiso mwona mumiire okuiwoya ni Kristo. 28 Okugawukana kuwulao mbwe omuntu ari Omuyaudi nakuwa yaaya, omugule nakuwa ori owuyanga, owekisaaza nakuwa owekikazi, aeniki mwona muri ekintu ekilala ku Kristo.* 29 Aeniki muri awantu awa Kristo, muri olwiwulo olwa Abraamu, awari iwaga okuuza okuria ewia Katonda yaifuuwira awiizukulu awa Abraamu.

1 Ekia mboola ni mbwe, omwana osugaane arie omwandu ogwa omwiwuzi, na akiari omutono, ngagawukaane no omugule, kukawa mbwe ari omwene omwandu omungi ino. 2 Ni kutio aeniki akiari mu amakono aga awamufugre, na awa omwandu guteerwe mu amakono gaawu nawuno enyinga ezia swae yataao zituuke. 3 Nintio twawanga ifwe twona *Kristo ni yawanga na akiari okuuza. Kiomo awaana awato, twawanga mu owusiwe owua endagirra ezia ku ekialo kuno.* 4 No olwa enyinga ezisugre ziatuuka, Katonda yatuma Omuzia waae omwene. Yaiwulwa no omukazi, ansi eya *ensikirra eya Awayaudi,* 5 okutuoloorra omusango kandi okututa owuyanga ifwe awaawanga mu owusiwe owua ensikirra, na atukola awaana* waae kuwuene. 6 Ni, aeniki muri awaana, Katonda amiire okutuma *Omwoyo Omweru owa Omuzia waae mu emioyo giinyu. Iye nio orra mu emioyo giifu na awoola mbwe, “Abba,† Soifu.”* 7 Kutio, inywe kato ngamuri awagule yaaya, ni muri awaana awa ku omugizi, kandi ku okuwa okwa muri awaana awa ku omugizi, Katonda amiire okuwa-aa iwaga eria okuria omwandu gwae.*

Paulo aluguula ekiikola ku Awagalatia

8 Enyima ao, ni mwawanga ni mukiari okumanya Katonda, mwawanga awagule awa katonda ensaasa eziwulao no okuwulao.* 9 Ni katio nyingeeno mumiire okumanya Katonda, reka mboole mbwe Katonda awamanyire. Mureeta mutie okugaluka ni muirana mu okulonda endagirra ezia ekialo ezia owusaasa eziwula na amaani ezio? Kusi, muagala okuirana mu owusiwe kandi aa kawiri?* 10 Inywe muandre ku emigomo egia *Awayaudi egikolwa mu amiire gandi, emienzi, ne emiigo egitengeekwe.* 11 Okwo kugera owuti ni wumpamba mbwe andi emirimo egia nyakola ku inywe giiza giawa egia owusa.* 12 Waamwifu, mbaisasaama mbwe muwe ki inze ori owuyanga ku amangʼana gano, aeniki noona nyamenya kiomo mwawanga ni mumenyere inywe awantu awatari Awayaudi awawula ne ensikirra ezia Awayaudi.

Kiwulao ekiwi ekia mwamiire okunkorra inze, yaaya.* 13 Mala kiomo mumanyire, okuwa okwa nyawanga no omuwiri omululu nikwo okwagera ni mbalanzizia *injiili oluweri.* 14 Kukawa mbwe okuwa okwa nyawanga no omuwiri omululu okwo kwawanyaasia emioyo, ni ngamukandega namba okuntoola wutono ku ingʼana erio, yaaya. Aa okukola otio, mwanyingizia ne enyingizia esugre ne *enyankoi owa Katonda, namba Kristo Yesu omwene! 15 Nduguula ekiikorre ne ekisangaalo ekia mwawanga nakio. Manyire kuwuene mbwe kuweeko mbwe ne ekintu ekiesekana, mukakumbuulemo amiiso giinyu mugampe. 16 Kutio, owuo miire okuwa omuzigu iinyu aeniki mbalaga mala ewintu ewiri kuwuene?

17 Awantu awagala mbwe mulonde ensikirra ezia Awayaudi awo watoola enyinga ziawu ku amangʼana giinyu, ni ngawakola otio mbwe wawaagarra owulootu yaaya. Iwo ekineene ekia waagala, no okuwagawula ni ifwe kugere muwe oluwega lwawu kandi mutoole enyinga ziinyu ku amangʼana gaawu.* 18 Owuwi wuwulao no omuntu atoola enyinga okukola ekintu, ni kuri mbwe ne ekintu ekilootu kandi musugaane mukole mutio enyinga ziona, ni ngʼani mala ni ndi ni inywe engʼene. 19 Waana wange, mumpa owululu kandi mala ki omukazi owa ewisa wiluma, nawuno Kristo akome mu owulamu wuinyu.* 20 Nkaagaale mbwe mbe ni inywe nyingeeno kugere kutaanigirizia okugamba-gamba ni inywe mu itu rino otino. Ni kunnigirizia okukola otino aeniki muntangʼaangʼie ino.

Awaana wawiri awa Abraamu

21 Mbawuuzia inywe awagala okumenya ansi ya ensikirra, mberi kuwuene mumanyire ekia ensikirra ewoola? 22 Kwajojwa mu endagano mbwe Abraamu yawanga na awazia wawiri. Omulala yawanga owa omukazi omugule, no owundi yawanga owa omukazi owawanga owuyanga.* 23 Omuzia owa omukazi omugule oyo yaiwulwa okuema ku okugeezaania okwa omuntu okutuusia okuifuuwa okwa Katonda, no omuzia owa omukazi otari omugule iye yaiwulwa okuema ku okutuusia okwa Katonda yatuusianga okuifuuwa okwae.*

24 Awakazi wawiri wano mu engira eya olugero, waimeriire *endagano iwiri. Agaar aimeriire endagano eyakolwa ku ekigiri ekia Sinaai kandi awaana waae waaiwulwa okuwa awagule.* 25 Tutuukra mbwe Agaar aimeriire ekigiri ekia Sinaai ekiri Araabu kandi eri omufwano ogwa omugizi ogwa Yerusaleemu ogwa nyingeeno, aeniki omugizi ogwo na awaana wagwo wari awagule. 26 Ni Yerusaleemu eri ku igulu eri owuyanga, kandi nio ngʼinoifu.* 27 Aeniki kwajojwa mbwe:

“Wa ne ekisangaalo iwue omukazi omugumba,

28 Inywe waamwifu, muri ki Isaaka aeniki mwona mwaiwulwa owuyia nikulondokana no okuifuuwa okwa Katonda. 29 Mala kiomo omwana owaiwulwa okuema ku okugeezaania okwa omuntu okutuusia okuifuuwa okwa Katonda oria yadambia omwana owaiwulwa na amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru, nintio kuri reero luno lwona.* 30 Ne endagano ewoolaki ku ingʼana rino? Ewoola mbwe, “Somosia omukazi omugule alala no omuzia waae, wagie! Aeniki kigwe kiole, ewulao-uwula engira eya omuzia owa omukazi omugule oyo aesa okutuukramo omugawo alala no omuzia owa omukazi ori owuyanga.”† 31 Kutio waamwifu, ifwe ngaturi awaana awa omukazi omugule yaaya, ni turi awaana awa omukazi ori owuyanga.

2 Muwurre ekia mbalaga! Inze Paulo mbasema mbwe ni muizukre muganye okuirwa *enyangu kiomo engira eya okuwa mu empurizanio ni Katonda, Kristo aaza okuwula emirimo ku inywe chee. 3 Kandi nyagala omuntu ki omuntu amanye mbwe no omuntu aganyire okuirwa enyangu, kumunigirizia mbwe paka olondokane ne *ensikirra ziona, aa atarekere namba endala.* 4 Inywe awantu awageezaania okuwa mu empurizanio ni Katonda ku okulonda ensikirra, mumiire okugawukana ale ni Kristo kandi mulagre owusiza owua Katonda omugongo. 5 Ni ifwe *Omwoyo Omweru atu-aa amaani aga okurinda ni turi no owusiani mbwe Katonda aaza okutuingizia ki awalongoole emberi waae ku okuganya.* 6 Aeniki ku Kristo Yesu, okuirwa enyangu namba okutairwa enyangu ngʼane ekintu yaaya. Ekineene no okuwa no okuganya okulaganiwua mu engira eya olugonzi.*

7 Inywe mwamiire okuwa ni mugia emberi geeza. Omiire okuwaguunya emioyo kandi awalowera okulonda owuene, naanu? 8 Ni kuwuene mbwe ekintu ekifwana kitio ngakiesa kiaema ku Katonda owawaeta, yaaya.* 9 Omumera omutono guzimbia owusie owua guteerwemo wuona.* 10 Ndi no owusiani owuema ku Omwami mbwe muuza okuganya ni inze mu amangʼana gano aa mutaingiire mu agandi amasaasa. No omuntu owatawania oyo aaza okuswawukwa, akawa anu.* 11 Waamwifu, ni kuri mbwe nkialanzia mbwe awantu paka wairwe enyangu, kane katio ekigera *Awayaudi ni waanyaasia niki? Ao otio kane owuwiiwi owua Awayaudi wawona na amangʼana aga *omusalaaba wuwulao.* 12 Na awantu awawanyaasia awo, iwo nkaagaale mbwe watawa mbwe wairrwe-uirwa enyangu kwengʼene, ni wakasowoolwe no okusowolwa!

13 Waamwifu, inywe Katonda yawaetera okuwa owuyanga, ni kukawa kutio mutaaza mwakola no owuyanga owua muri nawuo ki engira eya okukola okuagala okuwiiwi okwa omuwiri, yaaya. Aa okukola otio, omuntu ki omuntu akorre omwina waae no olugonzi.* 14 Aeniki ensikirra endala ewoola mbwe, “Gonzia omwina waao kiomo oigonziizie iwue omwene”† no owuimpi owua ewintu wiona ewia ensikirra ziona ziwoola.* 15 Ni inywe ni mulumana kandi ni mutandulana aweene, muwe no okumanya mbwe ni mutawariire geeza, muuza okuitana mumalane chwe.

Owulamu owukangatiirwe no Omwoyo Omweru

16 Mbalaga mbwe mumenye owulamu owukangatiirwe no Omwoyo Omweru, ni ngamuuza okukola ewintu ewiwiiwi ewia omuwiri guagala, yaaya. 17 Aeniki okuagala okuwiiwi okwa omuwiri no okuagala okwa Omwoyo Omweru ngaziwurzania, yaaya. Ewintu wiwiri wino wilwana ewiene, okugera no otakola ewia iwue omwene waagala.* 18 Ni, no okangatiirwe no Omwoyo Omweru, ngori ansi eya ensikirra, yaaya.*

Ekineene agati ya okuirwa enyangu no owulamu owuyia

11 Muwarreko kiomo mbajojera ne enyukuta enene-nene, ni nkola no okukono kwange omwene!* 12 Awantu awagala okuwonekana awalootu mu engira eya enze niwo awagala okuwanigirizia mbwe paka muirwe *enyangu.

Paulo atondowola Katonda ku omupango ogwa owuinunuzi

3 Atondowolwe ino Katonda ori Swawu Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo, omiire okutusereka ne ensereki enyingi ezieama ku igulu, ni kuwitra ku Kristo.* 4 Aeniki yatulowola namba ne ekialo kiawanga ni kikiari okulukwa, kugere tuwe awantu aweeru awawula no owuoni emberi waae ni kuwitra ku Kristo. Mu olugonzi lwae,* 5 Katonda yawanga na amiire okuwisia kale mbwe tuwe awaana waae ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo. Kino nikio ekiawanga ekilootu ku iye kandi okuagala kwae.* 6 Kutio tutondowola Katonda ku owusiza wuae owuluguulwa owua yatukorra ni kuwitra ku Omuzia waae owa agonziizie ino.* 7 Ni kuwitra ku amasaai aga Kristo, tumiire okuteewua owuyanga kandi turekerwa amawi giifu, nikulondokana no owusiza owungi owua Katonda* 8 amiire okulagana ku ifwe, na amaganga no okumanya kwona. 9 Kandi Katonda amiire okugera tumanya omupango gwae ogwawanga ni guiwisre, ogwa yaagalanga okutuusia ni kuwitra ku ekia Kristo yaazanga okukola. 10 Ne enyinga ziae ezisugre zimiire okutuuka, Katonda arituusia omupango ogwo olwa arita ewintu wiona ewiri ku igulu ne ewiri ku ekialo ansi eya owukangasi owua Kristo.* 11 Lwona ni kuwitra ku Kristo, Katonda yatulowola okuwa awantu waae omwene aeniki nintio omwene yawisia okukola kale kandi ewintu wiona wiikola mala kiomo iye omwene yawitaao okuikola. 12 Okuagala okwa Katonda kwawanga mbwe, ifwe *Awayaudi awaasooka okuta emioyo giifu ku Kristo, tutondowole Katonda ori no owunene. 13 Kandi ku Kristo, inywe mwona olwa mwamala okuwurra amangʼana aga Katonda agari kuwuene, eri *injiili eyawareetra owuinunuzi, kandi okuta okuganya kwinyu ku Kristo, mwateewuako ekilago ekiri *Omwoyo Omweru owa yaifuuwa okutuma, okulagana mbwe muri awantu waae omwene. 14 Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda nio empanwa esookere elagana mbwe Katonda aaza okutu-aa ewintu wiona ewia yaifuuwa okutu-aa kandi mbwe arituta okuwa owuyanga owutuukre. Kuno kugera ni tumutondowola ku owunene wuae.*

Mwanunulwa mala ku owusiza owua Katonda wuengʼene.* 6 Ngʼano owulamu wuengʼene niwuo owua twatuukra, ni ku Kristo Yesu, Katonda yatuziusia nae kandi atuta tuikala alala nae ku igulu.* 7 Yakola otio kugere aaze alagane owusiza wuae owungi owuluguulwa owulaganiwua mu olugonzi lwae ku ifwe ni kuwitra ku Kristo Yesu, mu amiire goona agawula ne entuuko. 8 Aeniki ku owusiza owua Katonda mumiire okununulwa ni kuwitra ku okuwa no okuganya, kandi kino ngʼane ekintu ekia omuntu akakola iye omwene, ni ne empanwa eya Katonda.* 9 Ngʼano okuema ku emirimo egia omuntu yaaya, kutio awulao omuntu oesa okuitumbula.* 10 Aeniki turi emirimo egia amakono aga Katonda, awaalukwa owuyia mu owulala ni Kristo Yesu okukola emirimo emilootu egia yamala okututeerao kale okukola.

Awantu woona awari ku Kristo wari ekintu ekilala

11 Kutio muingirizie mbwe owusookere, inywe awantu awatari *Awayaudi mu owuiwulane, kandi awa awantu awaieta mbwe “awairwa *enyangu” (okuirwa enyangu okwa ku omuwiri okukolwa na amakono) waeta mbwe “awatairrwe enyangu”* 12 mbwe mu amiire ago, ngamukawanga ni mumanyire owa Kristo ari. Ngamukawanga awantu awalowoolwe ni Katonda. Kutio mwawanga awageni awawula no omugawo ku endagano eya Katonda yaifuuwira awantu waae. Mwawulanga ne ekintu ekia mwakarindirra okutuukra ku Katonda kandi mwawulanga Katonda ku ekialo kino chee.* 13 Ni nyingeeno, ni kuwitra ku amasaai aga Kristo, inywe awantu awa amiire gandi waawanga ale, mumiire okureetwa a-ampi ni Katonda.**

14 Aeniki Kristo omwene oyo, nio omiire okugera ni tuwa no owuolu. Amiire okureeta Awayaudi na awatari Awayaudi alala kandi iye nio omiire okuona engawuzi ne embuwi eziareetanga owuzigu.* 15 Mu okuesana omuwiri gwae, yagera *ensikirra ne endagirra ezia Awayaudi ziwula ne emirimo. Yakola otio kugere ate enganda iwiri zino ziwe ekintu ekilala, okwawareetra owuolu* 16 kandi mu omuwiri omulala guno, yareeta empurizanio agati ya Katonda ne enganda iwiri zino ni kuwitra ku *omusalaaba, amala owuzigu owuawangangao.* 17 Yareeta amangʼana amalootu agareeta owuolu ku inywe awaawanga ale-ale ni Katonda, alala na awantu awaawanga a-ampi nae.* 18 Aeniki ni kuwitra ku iye, ifwe Awayaudi ni inywe awatari Awayaudi twatuukra engira eya okutuuka ku Katonda Ise ni kuwita ku *Omwoyo Omweru omulala.

19 Kutio nyingeeno, ngamuri awageni awari mu ekialo ekitari ekiawu yaaya, ni muri awiina wiifu awa ekialo kilala na awantu awa Katonda kandi awa mu enyumba eya Katonda,* 20 eombookwe ku owulusa owuateewuao na *awatumwa na *awagambi awa Katonda. Kandi Kristo Yesu omwene nio ori iwaale ikalangufu eriambiriire enyumba.* 21 Mu okuwa kwinyu mu owulala ni Kristo, inywe mwona Kristo awaomboka alala na awandi woona, okuwa *ekaalu enzeru eya Omwami.* 22 Kandi mwona mumiire okuzoganiwua alala na awandi, okuwa owumenyo, aa Katonda amenyere ni kuwitra ku Omwoyo gwae Omweru.*

Lwona wa-ambaniwue alala mu omuwiri omulala kandi wasangirizie nawo ensereki ezia Katonda yaifuuwa oku-aa awantu waae, ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo.*

7 Katonda yampa empanwa eya okuwa *omukurumu owa okulanzia injiili, ku owusiza na amaani gaae amanene. 8 Kukawa mbwe ni inze omutono okukira omuntu omutono ino ku awantu awa Katonda woona, ni Katonda nio owampa owusiza wuno wusa kugere ndanzizie awantu awatari Awayaudi owunyazi owungi owuluguulwa owua Kristo.* 9 Kandi nyaloworrwa emirimo egia okuta ku owueru omupango ogwa Katonda omulusi owa ewintu wiona, ogwa owuinunuzi ogwawanga ni guiwisre okuemera mu owutanikro, ni nyingeeno gumiire okusanukulwa. 10 Okuagala okwa Katonda kwawanga mbwe nyingeeno, ni kuwitra ku ekaniisa, amaganga amangi aga Katonda gaaze galaganiwue gamanyike ku awakangasi na awari no owukire awari ku igulu. 11 Kino yakola nikulondokana no okuagala okwa yawanga na amiire okutaao okuemera mu owutanikro ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo Omwami iifu. 12 Ku okuwa mu owulala nae kandi mu okuwa no okuganya ku iye, tuuza okugia ku Katonda no owusiani kandi tugambe-gambe nae ni turi owuyanga.* 13 Kutio mbasawa mbwe emioyo giinyu gitafwa ku okunyaka-nyaaka okwa mbanyaka-nyaakra, aeniki okunyaka-nyaaka kuno kuuza okuwareetra okueewua owuti.*

14 Ni nyingiriizie amangʼana gano, nkuba ansi amasigamo gange okusawa Katonda Ise 15 owa awa amayumba goona agari ku igulu ni ku ekialo woona watuukrako amiina. 16 Nsawa Katonda mbwe ni kuema ku ensereki enyingi ezia ari nazio, aganye awakalangusie mu emioyo giinyu egia munsi, na amaani gaae ni kuwitra ku Omwoyo gwae Omweru, 17 kugere Kristo amenye mu emioyo giinyu ni kuwitra ku okuwa kwinyu no okuganya. Kandi nsawa mbwe muisimbiire kandi muiyomboke mu olugonzi.* 18 Lwona nsawa mbwe inywe alala na awantu awa Katonda woona muwe na amaani aga okuwurra ekia owuliire, owuiyaagu, owuliire owuika ansi no owuniina kungulu owua olugonzi olwa Kristo wuri. 19 Kandi mumanye olugonzi olutambuuke owuongo owua omuntu okumanya luno, kugere muizuziwue no owunene owua Katonda wuona kiomo wuagana.**

20 Katonda oesa okukola ewintu ewingi ewitaiwala okukira ewia tuesa okumusawa namba okuingirizia, nikulondokana na amaani amangi aga ari nago, agakola mu owulamu wuifu, 21 aeewue owunene ku amakula goona mu ekaniisa, ni kuwitra ku Kristo Yesu, amiire goona agawula ne entuuko. *Amin.

Okuwa no owulala mu omuwiri ogwa Kristo

1 Ki omusiwe owa Omwami, mbasawa katio mbwe muganye mumenye owulamu owusugre no okuetwa okwa Katonda yawaeta.* 2 Muwe awantu awaolu kandi awaisiizie ansi. Musiwe emioyo kandi murekerane amawi goona no olugonzi.* 3 Mukole wukalu mu engira ziona kugere murinde owulala owua *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda awaeere ni kuwitra ku owuolu owuwasiwraanie alala.* 4 Gurio mala omuwiri omulala no Omwoyo Omweru omulala, mala kiomo kirio ekintu ekilala ekia tuteereko emioyo giifu, ekia Katonda yatuetra olwa yatueta.* 5 Ario Omwami omulala, okuganya okulala no *owubatiiso owulala* 6 kandi lwona ario Katonda omulala ori Swawu awantu woona, ori kungulu okukira wiona, okola ni kuwitra ku awantu woona kandi omenyere mu awantu woona.*

7 No omuntu ki omuntu aeerwe empanwa eya owusiza nikulondokana ni kiomo *Kristo omwene awuine.* 8 Mala kiomo endagano ewoola etino:

“Olwa yaniina kungulu,

kandi ya-aa awantu waae empanwa.”†

9 (Ne ewoola mbwe “Yaniina kungulu” ekia kilagana niki? Okwo kulagana lwona mbwe yasooka aika munsi mu ekialo ekia awafu.* 10 Omuntu owaika oyo nio wazane owaniina kungulu okukira ewintu wiona kugere aizuzie ewintu wiona.) 11 Kristo oyo nio owaesana emirimo egia okuwa *awatumwa, *awagambi awa Katonda, awainjilisti, awaayi na awagerezi.* 12 Emirimo giawu no okuikagia awalowole awa Katonda ku emirimo egia Katonda, kugere omuwiri ogwa Kristo guombokwe* 13 nawuno twona tutuuke mu okuambaniwua alala mu okuganya no okuwa no okumanya okutuukre ku Omuzia owa Katonda, kandi tuwe awantu awakomere waawa awatuufu, awatuukre mu owunene owua Kristo wuona kiomo wuagana.*

14 Okwo kuuza okugera tureke okuwa ki awaana awato, awairwa eno ne eno na amasiira, kandi awasindikwa ni wairwa eno ne eno no omuyaga ogwa engerera ezia owuweeyi ezia awantu awakola na amaganga-ganga okusemerezia awantu.* 15 Aa okuwa otio, ifwe tulagana owuene, ni turi ne emioyo egiri no olugonzi, okuuza okugera tukome mu engira ziona tufwanane ni Kristo, ori Omutwe ogwa ekaniisa.* 16 Ni kuemera ku iye, omuwiri gwona oguzoganiiwue alala ne emisi egiguambiriire, gukoma kandi guiomboka ogwene mu olugonzi, ekiimo ki ekiimo ni kikola emirimo giakio.*

Okumenya ki awaana awa owueru

17 Kutio mbalaga ekingʼana kino ni nkisimbiizia na amaani aga Omwami mbwe mutairana kandi mumenye mu amaingirizio agawula ne emirimo kiomo awantu awa ekialo wamenyere. 18 Amaingirizio gaawu gamwamre ti kandi wari ale no owulamu owua awantu awa Katonda aeniki ngawamanyire Katonda kandi wateere emioyo giawu giwa emikalu ngʼa.* 19 Aeniki wawula ne ensuuko mu owulamu wuawu, waiteere mu owulamu owua owusoodani no okukola owuoni-uwuoni, kandi wari no olusa olwa okugia emberi mu enkola embiiwi ezio owutambuuke.

20 Ni inywe ngamukagererwa okumenya ku Kristo mu engira efwana otio, yaaya. 21 Aeniki kuwuene mwawurra amangʼana aga Yesu kandi mwagererwa ku iye nikulondokana no owuene owumurimo. 22 Mwagererwa ku owulamu wuinyu owukulu, mbwe muvuule enkola ezia owulamu wuinyu owukulu owuaonwanga no okuagala okuwiiwi okwa ensemerezanio.* 23 Mureke amaingirizio giinyu gagalusiwue gawe amayia* 24 kandi muiwoye owulamu owuyia, owulukirwe okufwanana ni Katonda mu owuigolovu no owueru owua kuwuene.*

25 Kutio omuntu ki omuntu ku inywe paka arekane no owuweeyi kandi muwoole amangʼana agari kuwuene ni mugamba-gamba na awiina wiinyu aeniki twona turi ewiimo ewia omuwiri omulala.* 26 Kuri mala kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe “No okusu kukuambre, otakola owuoni mu okusu.”† Mutaganya enyanga egwemo ni mukiari no okusu, 27 kandi muta-aa Ekikeeno iwaga mu owulamu wuinyu. 28 Omuntu omiire okuwa na aiwa, paka areke owuiwi, na akole emirimo wukalu na amakono gaae omwene kugere awe ne ekia aesa okuitunzia nakio kandi agawire awandi woona awari no okuagala.*

3 Lwona mutakola owuoni owua owusondo agati iinyu, wukawa mbwe no owufwana wutie, nakuwa enkola-unkola eya ensuuko namba okuwa awantu awaagala ewiawu aweene yaaya, aeniki wino ne ewintu ewitasugaane ku awantu aweeru awa Katonda. 4 Lwona amangʼana aga ensuuko, amangʼana aga owumaya namba emiwaayo emiwiiwi ngagisugaane gi-ituukrane ku inywe yaaya. Ni aa mukakorre mutio, muwe awairania otioo.* 5 Ku amangʼana gano, muwe no okumanya otino: Omuntu omusoodani, otari omweru ku Katonda namba oagala mala ekiae omwene ngarituukra omugawo mu *Owuami owua Katonda. Ni kutio aeniki oagala mala ekiae omwene, iye asawa katonda ensaasa.* 6 Omuntu ataaza yawasemerezia na amangʼana aga owusa aeniki ku amangʼana agafwana gatio okusu okwa Katonda kuwuera ku awantu awawula nae no owuti.* 7 Kutio mutaaza mwaizogaana nawo.

8 Aeniki amiire gandi kale mwawanga ni muri mu ekierema, ni nyingeeno muri mu owueru ku okuwa kwinyu owulala no Omwami. Mumenye ki awaana awa mu owueru,* 9 aeniki owueru wuamia ensaafu kiomo owulootu, owuigolovu no owuene.* 10 Mukole ewintu ewiomerezia Omwami. 11 Murekane ne enkola ezia owusa ezia ekierema, ni aa okukola otio, muzifumie ku owueru. 12 Aeniki ne ensuuko okugamba-gamba ku ewintu ewia awantu awawula no owuti wakola owuiwisi. 13 No owueru wumuriike ewintu wiona, wiwonekana ku owueru. 14 Aeniki owueru niwuo owugera ne ekintu-ukintu kiwoneka. Ekio nikio ekigera no owundi yawoola otino:

“Lamuka, iwue nyandoolo,

15 Muwarre geeza engira ezia mumenyeremo kane, mutamenya kiomo awantu awawula na amaganga, ni mumenye ki awantu awaganga. 16 Mukole geeza ino ni iwaga-uiwaga eria mutuukiire, aeniki gano na amiire aga owuoni.* 17 Kutio mutawa awantu awamaya, ni mumanye ekia okuagala okwa Omwami kuri. 18 Mutadungʼa, aeniki okwo kuiira awantu mu okukola owuoni. Aa okukola otio, muizuziwue no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda,* 19 kugere enyinga ezia muagaane alala, muembe enyembo ezia zabuuri, ezia okutondowola Katonda ne eziema ku Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.

21 Omuntu ki omuntu asugaane aiisie ansi emberi wa omwina waae, ku owuti owua aeere Kristo.* 22 Awakazi, muiisie ansi emberi wa awasaaza wiinyu mala kiomo muiisiizie ansi emberi wa Omwami. 23 Aeniki omusaaza nio omutwe ogwa omukazi waae, mala kiomo Kristo ari omutwe ogwa ekaniisa, ekiri omuwiri gwae kandi iye nio Omununuzi wayo.* 24 Kutio kiomo ekaniisa kieere Kristo owuti, nintio lwona awakazi wasugaane wa-ee awasaaza waawu owuti mu ewintu wiona.*

5 Inywe awagule, muwurre awakangasi wiinyu awa ku ekialo kuno no owuti kandi no okuadada. Lwona muwakorre emirimo no omwoyo omulala mala kiomo awakorra *Kristo. 6 Mutawatia mala okuwaomerezia enyinga ezia wawariko a-ampi yaaya, ni muwatie ki awagule awa Kristo awakola okuagala okwa Katonda ni kuemera mu emioyo giinyu munsi.* 7 Muwakorre ne emioyo giinyu giona ki awakorra Omwami, ni ngʼano omuntu yaaya, 8 aeniki mumanyire geeza mbwe Omwami aaza okugawira omuntu ki omuntu omugawo ku ekintu-ukintu ekia akorre, awe omugule namba ori owuyanga.**

Ewintu ewia-iiye ewia Katonda

10 Owutuukre, mutuukre owukalangufu wuinyu ni kuema ku Omwami na amaani gaae amangi.* 11 Muirinde ne ewintu ewia-iiye wiona ewia Katonda kugere muemerezie owuganga-ganga owua Ekikeeno.* 12 Aeniki iye eria tulwana ngatulwana na awari ne emiwiri na amasaai yawa.

Kandi tulwana ne *ewikeeno ewiri na amaani ewiri mu emiyaga kungulu.* 13 Kutio muirinde ne ewia-iiye wiona ewia Katonda, kugere muemerezie omuzigu na amiire aga amawi gatuukre, kandi ni iye riwuere, muwe ni mukiaimerre wukalu.* 14 Kutio muimerre wukalu, ni musiwre owuene ki omukanda mu ensinzi. Muingizie owuigolovu ki ekia-iiye ekirinda ekifuwa,* 15 kandi muingizie okuikaga okugia okulanzia *injiili ereeta owuolu ki ewiraato mu amagulu.* 16 Alala ne wino wiona, muginge okuganya ki engawo eya okuzimia nayo owuta owua Ekikeeno owuakaka ki endimi ezia omurro. 17 Muingizie owuinunuzi ki ekigudu ku omutwe, kandi mutoole amangʼana aga Katonda ki omwambe ogwa olugangala ogwa *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.** 18 Musawe Katonda enyinga ziona na amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, ni mumuisasaama mu engira ziona. Ni mukola mutio, muwe amankaga kandi mugie emberi okusawira awantu awa Katonda woona.

Munsawire, ngalanzie no owusiani aa mbula ne ekintu ekia ntia mala kiomo kusugaane kuwe.*

2 Muwe no owusiza no owuolu owuema ku Soifu Katonda no *Omwami Yesu Kristo.

Okwikazia no okusawa okwa Paulo

3 Nyiranizia Katonda wange otioo ino enyinga ziona ezia mbaingiriizie, 4 kandi lwona enyinga ziona ni nsawa, mbasawira ni ndi no owusangaavu ino 5 ku emirimo egia okulanzia *injiili egia mumiire okuwa ni mukola alala ni inze okuemera owuire owua mwatuukra amangʼana gano kutuuka nyingeeno. 6 Kandi ndi no owusiani owua okuwoola mbwe Katonda owatanika emirimo emilootu gino ni inywe, aaza okugia nagio emberi nawuno agituusie owuire owua Yesu Kristo ari-irana.* 7 Omwene mbona mbwe kuri kulootu ni mbawurra otio, aeniki mutoorre iwaga inene ino mu omwoyo gwange.* Inywe alala ni ifwe Katonda amiire okutu-aa owusiza owua okulwanra owuene no okulanzia amangʼana amalootu ni nyawanga mu owusiwe kandi ni nyawanga owuyanga. 8 Katonda omwene amanyire kiomo amiiga gandia ni inywe kandi kiomo mbagonziizie no olugonzi olwa Kristo Yesu.*

9 Okusawa kwange kuri mbwe olugonzi lwinyu luisonge lutairana enyima kandi mbwe okumanya no okuwurra okwa muri nakwo wisonge okuniina kungulu, 10 kugere muwe awantu awaesa okugawula ewintu ewilootu kandi awantu aweeru awawulako embala, nawuno Yesu airane.* 11 Ee, awantu awa-amia ensaafu ezia owuigolovu ezigera ni Katonda atondowolwa kandi aeewua owunene, ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo.*

Owusiwe owua Paulo wusongere okulanzia Injiili

12 Waamwifu, nyagala mumanye mbwe ewintu ewianyikoriire wino wiatunziizie ino mu okulanzia kwange amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda.* 13 Aeniki awantu woona alala na awarinzi awa owumenyo owua omwami woona wamanyire mbwe ndi mu owusiwe muno ku amangʼana aga Yesu. 14 Kandi okusiwua okwa nyasiwirwe okwo, kwa-ambiizie owungi owua waamwifu ku Kristo amaani ino kandi wari no owusiani owua okulanzia amangʼana aga Katonda owungi okukira okwa waawanga nakwo oluweri, aa watatia.

15 Kuwuene wario awalanzia amangʼana aga Kristo ne endandulu kandi ni iyari, na awandi iwo wagalanzia ne emioyo emieru egiagala owulootu. 16 Awantu awalanzia ne emioyo emieru wano wakola otio aeniki wangonziizie kandi wamanyire mbwe nyateerwe mu owusiwe muno ku amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda aga ndwanra wukalu. 17 Na awandi awalanzia amangʼana aga Kristo ne emioyo emiwiiwi wano, okuagala kwawu ngakulootu yaaya aeniki iwo wakola otio kugere nyingiziwue mu emidambo emingi mu owusiwe muno.* 18 Ni kukawa mbwe wari ne emioyo emiwiiwi nakuwa emieru, ekineene ni mbwe mu engira ezio ziona amangʼana aga Yesu Kristo galanziwua kandi ekio nikio ekisangaalo kiange.

Kuwuene nyiza okugia emberi okuwa omusangaavu ino 19 aeniki manyire mbwe ni kuwitra ku okusawa okwa munsawira no owuitunzi owua ntuukra okuema ku *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Yesu Kristo, ewintu ewimiire okunyiikorra wino wiiza okugaluka wiwe owuinunuzi wuange.* 20 Ekintu ekineene ekia nteereko omwoyo gwange ni mbwe nyanga ntaaza nyawona ensuuko ku ekintu-ukintu. Ni kuwe mbwe enyinga ziona mbe no owusiani kiomo ndi nyingeeno otino, kugere mbe mbwe ndio omulamu nakuwa mbwe mfwire, omulamu wuange wugingirizie Yesu Kristo kungulu. 21 Aeniki inze okuwa kwange omulamu, ni iwaga eria okugia emberi okukorra Kristo, no okufwa katio kulootu kwange okukira.* 22 Ni kuri mbwe okugia emberi okuwa omulamu mu omuwiri guno, kuri mala iwaga eria okukola ewintu ewingi ewilootu, kane katio ekia nsugaane ndowole agati ya ewintu wiwiri ewio namanyire. 23 Nkululwa eno ne eno aeniki okuagala mbwe nyeme mu owulamu wuno ngie mpuluuke ni Kristo ne ekintu ekilootu ekimpomerezia ino;* 24 ni ku inywe kuri kulootu okukira ni mbeere omulamu mu omuwiri guno. 25 Ee, noona nganyire otio kandi manyire mbwe nyiza okusonga okuwa ni inywe mwona kugere musonge okukoma mu okuwa ne ekisangaalo mu okuganya kwinyu ku Yesu Kristo. 26 Kutio okuirana kwange okuwa ni inywe kuuza okugera ekisangaalo kiinyu ku Kristo Yesu kiizule du, ku amangʼana gange.

27 Owukirre wiona, paka muwone mbwe owulamu wuinyu owua owuire ki owuire wu-aa injiili eya Kristo eriina ilootu. Ni mukorre mutio, namba ni nyizre mbawone nakuwa ni mpuriire-uwurra amangʼana giinyu ni ndi ale, nyiza okumanya mbwe kuwuene muaimeriire no omwoyo omulala kandi mwona mulwanra okuganya okuiyegeeke ku amangʼana amalootu, ni muri ekintu ekilala* 28 aa mutatiire awazigu wiinyu awawalwania namba wutono. Kino kiiza okuwa ekilago ku iwo mbwe Katonda omwene aaza okuwanunula, ni iwo waaza okuonwa wawue chwe. 29 Aeniki mumiire okueewua iwaga ilootu ngʼane eria okuta okuganya kwinyu ku Yesu riengʼene yaaya, ni kugia eria okumunyaka-nyaakra riona. 30 Turi ni inywe mu okulwana iye rino. Aweene mwamiire okuwona emidambo giange kandi na reero nkiawona emidambo.*

Owunene no okuiisia ansi okwa Kristo

1 Mureke mbawuuzieko, mberi mwaomereziwua ni *Kristo? Mberi mwaoreeziwua ku okumanya mbwe awagonziizie? Mberi mwawa mu owulala no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda kandi muwa no olugonzi na amagongi omuntu no omwina waae? 2 Ee, aeniki nintio muri, muizuzie omwoyo gwange du ne ekisangaalo ku okuwa na amaingirizio amafwananani, okuwa no olugonzi agati iinyu, okuwa no omwoyo omulala no okuagala okulala.* 3 Mutaaza mwakola ekintu-ukintu okutuusia mala okuagala kwinyu inywe aweene namba okuwa no okuitumbula okuwula ne emirimo. Aa okukola otio, muiisie ansi kandi mutoole awiina wiinyu ki awalootu okuwakira.* 4 Mutawa awantu awaagarra mala mu enkanga ziawu aweene yaaya, ni muwe awantu awaagarra awiina waawu woona.*

5 Amaingirizio no okuagala okwa mu emioyo giinyu kusugaane kuwe kiomo okwa Yesu Kristo:* 6 Iye kukawa mbwe yawanga mu embonekano eya Katonda, ni ngakatoola owuagani ni Katonda owuo ki ekintu ekia asugaane a-andeko na amakono awiri yaaya.* 7 Ni yaitoola ki owusa, aiisia ansi awa kiomo owemirimo, na atoola omuwiri ogwa omuntu.* 8 Kandi mu okuwa kwae mu embonekano eya omuntu otio, yaiisia ansi kandi alaga Katonda owuti nawuno mu okufwa. Ee, okufwa olumbe olwa *omusalaaba!* 9 Kutio Katonda yamugingirizia kungulu okukira kandi amu-aa eriina erikirre amiina goona.* 10 Kugere ku oku-aa Yesu owuti, amasigamo goona ku igulu, ku ekialo ni ansi eya ekialo gakubwe ansi, 11 kandi endimi ziona ziwoole mbwe Yesu Kristo no Omwami kugere Katonda Ise atuukre owukaate.*

12 Kutio awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, kiomo mumiire okuwa ni mutiire amangʼana gange ni ndi ni inywe ampi, nyingeeno kiomo mbula ampi ni inywe otino, musugaane mukole otio okukira. Muambe wukalu muwone mbwe mumenyere owulamu owusugre no owuinunuzi, ni mueere Katonda owuti owungi kandi ni muadada emberi waae. 13 Aeniki Katonda nio ota mu emioyo giinyu okuagala okwa okumu-aa owuti na amaani aga okukola okuagala kwae.*

14 Mu ekintu-ukintu ekia mukola, mutawa ne emioyo egia okuirizia, no okukululana mu amangʼana, 15 nikwo mukawa awaana awa Katonda aweeru awawula ne ekintu ekiwiiwi ekia omuntu akawawoolako mu ekialo ekiwiiwi ekiizuule na awantu awooni kandi awaoneeke kino. Owulamu wuinyu wusugaane wuwale ki engʼeni-ngʼeni ni muwarimo.* 16 Muambe amangʼana agareeta owulamu wukalu, kugere ni Yesu ari-irana, mbe omusangaavu aeniki emirimo egia nyakola ne embiro ezia nyarumuka ngawikawanga ewia owusa, yaaya.* 17 Namba ni kuri mbwe owulamu wuange wufugika ansi ki omusango, ni ndekere omusango ogwa emirimo egia nyakola kugere muwe no okuganya okwa muri nakwo ku Kristo kuno, mbona geeza kandi ndi omusangaavu alala ni inywe mwona.* 18 Kutio inywe mwona musugaane musangaale alala ni inze ku ekintu ekilala kino.*

Emirimo egia Timotheeo ni Epafraasi

19 Ni Katonda aganyire, nyingirizia okutuma Timotheeo ku inywe wuangu ano, aaze andage kiomo mugia kugere noona mbe no owusangaavu.* 20 Mbula no omuntu wundi owa owulamu wuinyu wuambre ino ki iye. 21 Awandi awasigaale, iwo amangʼana gaawu aweene nigo agawa-ambre emioyo, na amangʼana aga Yesu Kristo igo ngagawa-ambre ino. 22 Ni inywe aweene mumanyire kiomo Timotheeo amiire okulagana geeza ekia ari, ku okukola ni inze emirimo egia okulanzia *injiili, ki omuzia ni swae. 23 Nyingirizia okumutuma ku inywe eyo wuangu ino, ni miire okumanya kiomo amangʼana gange gaaza okuwa. 24 Ndi no okuganya mbwe Katonda aaza okumpa iwaga, kugere noona nyize mbawoneko eyo, wuangu ano.

25 Ni nyingirizia mbwe kuri kulootu ni ntumre Epafraasi, ori wamwifu ku Kristo, owemirimo kandi owa-iiye alala ni inze, awairaneko wuangu. No *omutumwa wiinyu owa mwatuma okuuza okuntunzia mu eminyako-nyaako giange.* 26 Nyagala mbwe awairaneko aeniki amiiga gamuria ni inywe kandi omwoyo gwae guinyaasia aeniki mwawurra mbwe yalwala. 27 Kuwuene yalwala awona namba okufwa. Ni Katonda yamusaasra, kandi ngʼani iye engʼene, ni kugia inze noona, kugere ntaaza nyawona owululu kawiri.

28 Kutio nyagala okumutuma eyo ino, kandi manyire mbwe ni muuza okumuwona, muuza okusangaala kandi okuinyaasia kwange okwa mu omwoyo kuuza okuirana enyima. 29 Mumuingizie no olugonzi olwa Katonda kandi no owusangaavu owungi. Ee, mu-ee awantu awafwana ni iye owuti ino,* 30 aeniki yawona okufwa atoono ku emirimo egia Kristo. Yaganya okuwona emidambo kugere ampe owuitunzi owua ni inywe awakampeere, ni muri ale.

Owuigolovu owua kuwuene wutuukrwa ku okuganya

1 Waamwifu, owutuukre, musangaale mu owulala owua muri nawuo no *Omwami Yesu. Okuinuula okuwajojera amangʼana amalala, ngʼane eminyako-nyaako ku inze yaaya, aeniki okukola otio kuuza okuwatunzia inywe.*

2 Muirinde ku awantu awooni awafwana ne embwa awo. Awantu awawanigirizia mbwe ni muirwe *enyangu nikwo mununuulwe.* 3 Aeniki, ifwe awasawa Katonda ni tukangatiirwe no *Omwoyo Omweru, ni ifwe awairrwe enyangu kuwuene wengʼene. Owusiani owua turi nawuo ngawuiyegeeke ku enkola ezia ediini namba wutono, ni tuitumburra mala ewintu ewia Yesu *Kristo yatukorra,* 4 kukawa mbwe omwene ndi ne ewintu ewingi okukira, ewikagera nte owusiani wuange ku enkola ezifwana ezio, kiomo awandi waingirizia.* 5 Inze nyairwa enyangu ni ndi omwana awa amiire munaane, ndi Omuisraeli oema ku oluganda olwa Benjamiini, Omuibrania iwaale, kandi ku okurinda *ensikirra, inze nyazirinda wukalu ki *Omufarisaayo.* 6 Nyata omwoyo gwange okunyaasia awantu awa amakaniisa owululu, ni ku owuigolovu mu engira eya okurinda ensikirra, inze nyawulanga owuoni.*

7 Ne ewintu wiona ewia nyatoolanga ki emfuno, nyingeeno mbiwona ki owusa ni mbigeraania ne ewintu ewia Yesu Kristo yankorra. 8 Owukirre ago, mbona ewintu ewia nyakola mu owulamu wuange owukulu wiona ki owusa, ni mbigeraania no owulootu owuluguulwa mu okumanya Yesu Kristo Omwami wange. Mbiwona ki enyoori, kugere ntuukre Kristo, 9 kandi mbe mu owulala nae, ni mbula no owuigolovu owuange omwene owuema ku okurinda ensikirra. Ni mbe no owuigolovu owutuukrwa ku okuganya ku Kristo. Owuigolovu owuema ku Katonda kandi owutuukrwa ku okuganya kwengʼene.* 10 Nyagala okumanya Kristo, na amaani agaamuziusia aema ku awafu, okuwona eminyako-nyaako egia omwene yawona kandi okufwa olumbe olwa yafwa, 11 kugere ni kuesekana, noona ntuuke ku okuziuka okuema ku awafu.*

Okulawira ewiri enyima no okuta omwoyo ku ewiri emberi

12 Ngʼani mbwe omwene miire okusuga mu ewintu wino wiona, namba mbwe miire okueruyiwua mba omweru owulako embala, yaaya. No omwene ndwanagana wukalu ni ngia emberi kugere ntuukre ekiagera ni Kristo Yesu yandowola.* 13 Waamwifu, ngʼantoola mbwe inze omwene miire okutuusia wiona ewiagalana, yaaya. Ne ekintu kilala ekia nkola inze, no okulawira ewimiire okuwita, no okulwanaganra ewiri emberi. 14 Ndwanagana wukalu ni mbariire entuuko kugere nkire kandi ntuukre omugawo ogwa Katonda yanyetera ni kuema ku igulu, okuwitra ku Yesu Kristo.*

15 Awantu woona awamiire okukoma mu amangʼana aga Katonda, wasugaane waingizie amangʼana gano. Ni, ni gario aga mutaganyaane nago, ni ndi no okuganya mbwe Katonda aaza okugawasasuurra. 16 Ekineene ni mbwe tusugaane tulondokane no okumanya kwona okwa tumiire okutuukra.

17 Waamwifu, muizoge na awandi okulonda omufwano omulootu ogwa owulamu wuange kandi muigerere ku awantu awamenyere owulamu owufwana no owua twawalaga.* 18 Aeniki mala kiomo miire okuwa ni mbalaga kasaazo, kandi nyingeeno nkiawalaga na amaziga gayooka, wario awantu awangi awa enkola ziawu zilagana geeza mbwe wari awazigu awalwania ekiagera ni Kristo afwa ku *omusalaaba.* 19 Owutuuko owua awantu wano wuri mbwe waaza okuteeka wawue chwe. Iwo enda ziawu nio katonda waawu, kandi ewintu ewia ensuuko niwio ewia waeere owunene. Iwo wateere amaingirizio gaawu mala ku ewintu ewia ku ekialo kuno.* 20 Ni ifwe owumenyo wuifu wuri ku igulu, aa turinda ne emioyo egiangiriire, Omununuzi iifu Omwami Yesu Kristo okuema.* 21 Aaza okugalusia emiwiri giifu emigata giwe ki ogwae omwene oguri no owunene, na amaani aga akola nago okureeta ewintu wiona mu amakono gaae.*

1 Kutio waamwifu awa ngonziizie kandi awa amiiga gandia nawo ino okuuza okuwona, nintio nyagala muimerre wukalu ku *Kristo, awiiko wange awa ngonziizie. Inywe ni inywe ekisangaalo kiange kandi ni inywe awaaza okugera ntuukre omugawo ku emirimo giange.*

Kiomo Paulo agala Awakristo wawe

2 Nyisasaama Yudia ni Sintiike mbwe wawe ne empurizanio endootu agati yaawu ki awantu awa Katonda. 3 Ee, nkusawa iwue owemirimo omwina wange owa kuwuene, mbwe ganya otunzie awakazi wano aeniki wamiire okuimerra ni inze wukalu mu emirimo egia okulanzia *injiili. Awandi awamiire okuimerra ni inze ni kugia Kilementi, na awemirimo awiina wange wandi awa amiina gaawu gari mu ebuuki eya owulamu.*

4 Musangaale mu owulala owua muri nawuo no *Omwami Yesu enyinga ziona, kandi nyiinuula ni mboola mbwe musangaale!* 5 Mureke owuolu wuinyu wuwonekanre awantu woona, ni mumanyire mbwe Omwami Yesu ari ampi okuirana.* 6 Emioyo giinyu gitainyaasizia ekintu-ukintu, ni ku ewintu wiona ewiwaazra, mute okuagala okwa muri nakwo emberi wa Katonda ni musawa kandi ni mumuikazia ku wiona ewia amiire okuwakorra.* 7 Ni mukorre mutio, owuolu owua Katonda owukirre amaganga aga omuntu okumanya, wuuza okusimbiizia emioyo giinyu na amaingirizio giinyu ku Yesu Kristo.*

8 Owutuukre waamwifu, nyagala mute amaingirizio giinyu ku ewintu ewiri kuwuene, ewintu ewilootu, ewintu ewisugaane, ewintu ewieru, ewintu ewigonziiwue, ewintu ewiria awantu amiiga, ewintu ewilongoole alala ne ewintu ewireeta eriina ilootu. 9 Muwone mbwe muteere ewintu ewia mumiire okuigerera namba okutuukra ku inze wiona mu enkola. Ni mukorre mutio, Katonda owa owuolu wuemako, aaza okuwa ni inywe.*

Paulo aikaziizie Katonda ku empanwa ezia yatuukra

10 Nsangaala ino ku Omwami Yesu aeniki mbona nyingeeno no omwoyo ogwa mwawanga nagwo no owulamu wuange guiraane. Ni kuwuene mbwe owulamu wuange wumiire okuwa ni wuwa-ambre, ni iwaga eria okulagana ekia muri ni inze mu enkola nirio erimiire okuwakeeya. 11 Ngʼamboola otio mbwe katio ndi amakono amasa yaaya, aeniki omwene miire okuigerera okusuga mu engira ziona.* 12 Manyire kiomo menya ni ndi nawio ewitono nakuwa ni ndi nawio ewingi. Miire okumanya kiomo nkamenya mu owulamu owufwana wutie. Kukawa mu amiire aga enzala namba mu amiire aga enziguta, mu okuwa ne ewintu ewitoono nakuwa ni ndi nawio ewingi.* 13 Aeniki nyesa okukola ewintu wiona na amaani aga Yesu Kristo ampa.* 14 Ni kukawa kutio mwakola geeza ino okuwa ni inze ampi mu eminyako-nyaako giange gino.

15 Owukirre ago, kiomo mumanyire inywe Awafiliipi, mu amiire aga nyawalanzizia injiili oluweri nikuemao nyema mu ekitemo kiinyu ekia Makedoonia, ewulao ekaniisa indi egawuuke ni inywe eyantunzia mu okumfumizia amasendi.* 16 Namba ni nyawanga no okuagala ni ndi Thesaloniika, mwantumra amasendi owukirre kalala.* 17 Ngʼamboola otio kugere mumpe ewintu yaaya, ni nyagala muwe mbwe ni inywe awatuukra ensereki enyingi eziema ku owu-aani.*

18 Inze omwene ndi ne ewintu wiona kandi ewingi okukira kiomo nyagala. Ni kutio aeniki ntuukiire ewintu ewia mwantumiire ni kuwitra ku Epafraasi. Wifwana ne emisango emilootu kandi egiwunya esaami, emisango egia Katonda aganyire kandi asangaarre nagio.* 19 Kandi Katonda owa nsawa aaza okutuusia okuagala kwinyu kwona ni kuema ku owunyazi owua ewintu wiae, ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo. 20 Katonda ori Soifu aeewue owukaate amiire goona agatariwua. *Amin.

Amakeezio aga Paulo agatuukre

21 Munkeezizie awantu woona awa Katonda ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo. Waamwifu awari ni inze eno wawakeeziizie. 22 Awantu awa Katonda ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo, awari eno woona wawakeeziizie, ino-ino awa mu enyumba eya *Kaisaari. 23 Owusiza owua Omwami Yesu Kristo wuwe ni inywe mu emioyo. Amin.*

Amakeezio agasookere

1 Ebaruwa eno eema ku inze Paulo, *omutumwa owa Yesu *Kristo ku okuagala okwa Katonda, ni ndi alala ni wamwifu Timotheeo. 2 Mbajojera inywe awantu awa Katonda kandi waamwifu awari Kolosaai awa okuganya kwawu kuisimbiire wukalu ku Kristo. Owusiza no owuolu owua Katonda Soifu wuwe ni inywe.

Paulo aikazia Katonda na asawira Awakolosaai

3 Enyinga ziona ni tuwasawira, tuiranizia Katonda swawu *Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo otioo ino, 4 aeniki tumiire okuwurra okuganya okwa muri nakwo ku Yesu Kristo no olugonzi olwa muri nalwo na awantu awa Katonda.* 5 Mukola otio aeniki muteere emioyo giinyu ku ekintu ekilootu ekia Katonda awawikiire ku igulu mala kiomo mwamiire okuganya okuemera olwa mwawurra owuene owua amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda aga twawalanzizia.*

6 Amangʼana amalootu agaawaazra gano, gagia emberi okuilanzia mu ekialo kiona. Gagalusia emioyo egia awantu wandi kiomo mwona gaawagalusia okuemerra olwa mwasooka okuwurra kandi mumanya ekia owusiza owua Katonda ku awooni wuri. 7 Mwagawurra okuema ku Epafraasi owemirimo omwina iifu owa tugonziizie kandi ori *omukurumu owa Yesu Kristo orindre endagano owaaza eyo ku iwaga riifu.* 8 Iye nio owatulaga olugonzi lwinyu ku Awakristo, olwa *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yawa-aa.

9 Amangʼana agatwawurra ku inywe gano gamiire okugera ni tuwasawira amiire goona okuemera tugawurre. Ni tusawa Katonda mbwe awaizuzie na amagezi no okuwurra okwa Omwoyo Omweru aesana mu engira ziona kugere mumanye okuagala kwae. 10 Kuno kuuza okugera mumenye owulamu owusugre emberi wa Katonda kandi owumusangaazia. Ee, no owulamu wuinyu wuuza okuwa ne enkola endootu mu engira ziona kandi muuza okusonga okumanya Katonda geeza owukirre.** 11 Tusawa mbwe Katonda awe na awakalangusia na amaani goona nikulondokana na amaani aga owunene wuae kugere musikie emioyo giinyu mu eminyako-nyaako giona kandi muwe ne emioyo egirindirra no owusangaavu. 12 Amiire goona muwe ni muikazia ino Katonda Ise omiire okugera ni muwa awantu awasugre okutuukra omugawo ogwa awantu waae awamenyere mu owueru.* 13 Yatusiwula atutoola mu amaani aga owukire owua ekikeeno, mala atureeta mu owuami owua Omuzia waae owa agonziizie,* 14 owa ni kuwitrako, Katonda yatuta owuyanga na aturekera amawi giifu.*

Kristo munene okukira wiona

15 Yesu afwanana ni Katonda otawonwa na amiiso ndiki-ndiki, kandi ari omukulu ku ewintu wiona ewialukwa.* 16 Ni kuwitra ku iye, Katonda yaluka ewintu wiona ewiri ku igulu ne ewiri ku ekialo, ewiwonekana ne ewitawonekana, wakaawa awantu awari na amaani aga owukangasi na aga owuami, gikaawa emioyo emiwi egiri na amaani aga owukangasi na aga owukire. Ewintu wiona wialukwa ni kuwitra ku iye kandi wialukrwa iye.* 17 Kristo yasookera ewintu wiona okuwaao kandi iye nio ogera ewintu wiona ni wiwa alala. 18 Iye nio omutwe ogwa owulala owua awantu awamuganyireko kandi owulala owua awamuganyireko nigwo omuwiri gwae. Iye nio omuzia owa kuluweri owasooka okuziuka okuema ku awafu. Kutio ari na amaani ku ewintu wiona.* 19 Kwaomerezia Katonda okulagana owa ari ni kuwitra ku owulamu owua Kristo* 20 kandi okureeta empurizanio agati yaae ne ewintu wiona ewiri ku igulu ne ewiri ku ekialo kuno ni kuwitra ku omuzia waae. Katonda yareeta owuolu agati yaae ne ewintu wiona ni kuwitra ku amasaai aga Kristo agaasulula na afwa ku *omusalaaba.*

21 Kale mwawanga ale ni Katonda kandi enkola na amaingirizio giinyu amawi wiagera ni muwa awazigu waae. 22 Ni nyingeeno, ni kuwitra ku omuwiri ogwa Yesu Kristo *ogwawambwa ku omusalaaba, Katonda amiire okuwairania mu empurizanio nae. Kutio muesa okuwa emberi waae ni muri awantu aweeru kandi awawula owuwiiwi — ** 23 ni mugiire emberi okuwa no okuganya ku owuene wuno kandi ni muisimbiire wukalu mu okuganya, aa mutaiyunzia ni muema ku okurindirra okwa mwatuukra mu amangʼana amalootu aga mwawurra, kandi agamiire okulanziwua ku awantu woona mu ekialo kiona. Okulanzia amangʼana amalootu gano nigio emirimo egia inze Paulo, nyaetwa okukola.*

Emirimo emikalu egia Paulo yakorra Awakristo

24 Ndi no owusangaavu namba ni mbanyaka-nyaakra otino. Lwona ntoola iwaga ilootu eria okumariizia no omuwiri gwange ekiasigala ku emidambo ne eminyako-nyaako egia Yesu Kristo yatuukra. Nkola otio ni manyire mbwe nyaka-nyaakra awantu awa Katonda awari omuwiri ogwa Yesu Kristo.* 25 Katonda yandowola kandi antuma okukorra awantu waae emirimo egia okulanzia amangʼana amalootu, ni ntuusia okuagala kwae kwona ku inywe awatari *Awayaudi. 26 Okuagala okwa Katonda kuno kwaiwisira awantu awa amakula goona agaawita ku emiaka ne emiaka, ni nyingeeno akusasuriire awantu waae. 27 Katonda yaagalanga okusasurra awantu waae okuagala kwae okuluguulwa okuri okwa awantu woona namba awatari Awayaudi. Wuno niwuo owutumwa owunene mbwe Kristo awamenyeremo kandi okwo kugera ni muwa no okurindirra okwa mu emioyo mbwe muuza okutuukra owunene owua Katonda.*

28 Kristo ono nio ifwe tulanzia amangʼana gaae ku awantu woona ni tuwasiagizia kandi ni tuwagerera na amagezi goona kugere tuwaire emberi wa Katonda ni wari awakomere mu owulamu wuawu ku Kristo.* 29 Kino nikio ekigera ni nkalawana wukalu na amaani amangi aga Kristo ondimo, a-ampa.*

1 Awiifu nyagala mumanye kiomo miire okuwa ni mbalwanaganra inywe Awakristo awa Kolosaai, na awa Laodeesia na awandi woona awakiari okumbona na amiiso.* 2 Okuagala kwange ni mbwe mukalanguke mu emioyo kandi muwe no owulala owuema mu okuwa no olugonzi. Nyagala muwe no owunyazi owua okuwa no owusiani owutuukrwa mu okuwa no okumanya okutuukre. Kuno kuuza okugera wamanye embisre eya Katonda eri *Kristo omwene.* 3 Ni ku iye nimwo omwa awantu wamanya amaganga no okumanya okwa Katonda agari owunyazi owuiwisre.*

4 Mbalaga amangʼana gano kugere omuntu ataaza yawasemerezia na amangʼana aga owuganga agaomerezia kandi agawurikana ki amalootu.* 5 Ni kukawa mbwe ngʼandi ni inywe eyo mu omuwiri, omwoyo gwange guri ni inywe alala kandi ndi no owusangaavu ku okumenya kwinyu mu engira eagalana, no okuwona kiomo muisimbiriire mu okuganya kwinyu ku Kristo.*

Reka engerera ezia owuweeyi olonde Kristo

6 Kutio mala kiomo mwaingizia Yesu Kristo ki Omwami iinyu, mumenye mu owulala nae. 7 Mumuisieko emizi giinyu wukalu kandi mumuiyombokeko ni mukalanguka mu okuganya kiomo mwagererwa ni muizuule no omwoyo ogwa okuirania otioo.*

8 Muwe amankaga kugere omuntu-umuntu atata amaingirizio giinyu mu owusiwe ne engerera embiiwi ezia owuweeyi eziwula ne emirimo. Ziiza ziawurikana endootu, ni ziri mala engerera eziambaane ne enkola ezia awantu awa ku ekialo na amaani aga emioyo emiwiiwi egia ku ekialo, ni ngaziambaane ne engerera ezia Kristo, yaaya. 9 Aeniki, owufwanani wuona owua Katonda wuri ku Kristo.* 10 Kutio, Katonda awaeere ewintu wiona ewisugaane no owulamu owua kuwuene owua awari ku Kristo, ori kungulu okukira awakangasi na awari no owukire woona.

11 Mu owulala wuinyu ni Kristo, mwairwa *enyangu, ni ngʼane enyangu ekorrwa omuwiri okukolwa no omuntu, ni ne enyangu eya mu omwoyo okukolwa ni Kristo okusiwula awantu okuema ku amaani aga omuwiri ogukola owuoni.* 12 Kandi olwa mwabatiiswa kwafwananga mbwe mwa-awirwa ni Kristo kandi muziusiwua nae mu okuganya ku amaani aga Katonda agaamuziusia gamutoola ku awafu.*

13 Mu owulamu wuinyu owua owuoni owuawita, mwawanga awafwire mu omwoyo, ni nyingeeno Katonda yawaziusie mala mutuukra owulamu owuyia kiomo Kristo yatuukra. Katonda yaturekera owuoni wuifu wuona* 14 olwa yatoolao amawi goona aga endagirra yatuingirira nago, agatoola emberi iifu agamala chwe olwa *yawambwa ku omusalaaba.* 15 Olwa Katonda yamala okunyaga awakangasi na awakire awa ekialo ekia omwoyo ewia-iiye wiawu, yawasuusia emberi wa awantu woona na awakangaasie emberi ki awasiwe awa-ambrwe mu iye, na awakira ni kuwitra ku okufwa okwa Kristo ku omusalaaba.*

16 Kutio mutatega amatwi giinyu ku awantu awawateera ekiina ku ewintu ewia muria ne ewia munywa, okutakola emigomo egia emienzi emiyia namba okutarinda amiire aga *Sabato.* 17 Endagirra zino ziawanga mala ekiiruuzia ekia ewintu ewiazanga, no owuene wuituukrana ku Kristo.* 18 Mutaganya musemereziwue muteesie omugawo gwinyu oguema ku Katonda ku okuganya na awantu awagonziizie okuiisia ansi okwa owuweeyi okutasugaane, alala no okusawa *enyankoi. Awantu ki awo, ekiwasindika no okuiyama ne ewintu ewia owusa ewia wawuine mu amalooto agawaazra mala mu amaingirizio no okuagala okwa omuwiri.* 19 Awantu wano warekere engira eya Kristo ori omutwe, ni ifwe turi ewiimo ewia omuwiri ogwo ewiambaniiwue alala ne emisi. Kutio, ni turi ku iye nikwo tukakoma kandi tutuukre amaani okuema ku Katonda.*

20 Ni inywe mwafwa ni Kristo kandi amiire okuwagawula no okuagala ne enkola ezia awantu awa ku ekialo. Katio niki ekigera ni mukiagia emberi ni mulonda endagirra zino ki awantu awakiari mu owulamu owua ekialo? Endagirra ezifwana,* 21 “Ota-amba kino! Otaria kino! Otawa ampi ni kino!” 22 Zino ziri mala endagirra eziwula emirimo ezigererwa na awantu kandi ziambaane ne ewintu ewikolwa nawio kandi emirimo giawio wiwuera ao.* 23 Endagirra zino ziwonekana ki amaganga amalootu aeniki zinigirizia omuntu okuta omwoyo okukola okuagala okwa ediini, okuiisia ansi okwa owuweeyi, alala no okunyaasia omuwiri wululu. Ni ngazitunzia omuntu okukira okuingirizia okuwiiwi no okuagala okuwi okwa omuwiri.

Owulamu owuyia owuema ku Kristo

1 Kutio aeniki mwaziusiwua alala ni *Kristo muwa no owulamu owuyia, mute emioyo giinyu mu okuagala ewintu ewiri ku igulu, aa Kristo ari nyakukono okusaaza okwa Katonda.* 2 Mute amaingirizio giinyu ku ewintu ewiri ku igulu, ni ngʼani ku ewintu ewiri ku ekialo kuno,* 3 aeniki mwafwa mu owulamu wuinyu owua ku ekialo kuno, mutuukra owulamu owuyia owutuukrwa ku Kristo, aa ari ni Katonda. 4 Kandi olwa Kristo, ori omwene owulamu wuinyu owua kuwuene, ari-irana ku ekialo kuno, mwona muriwa nae mu owunene wuae.*

5 Kutio, paka muite ilala okuagala okuwiiwi okwa ku ekialo, kiomo owusondo, enkola emwamu, okuagala okwa omuwiri, okuagala ewintu ewisuusia, alala ne endandulu, eri okusawa katonda ensaasa.* 6 Enkola zino ziiza okugera okusu okwa Katonda kuwuere ku awantu awatakola okuagala kwae.* 7 Inywe mwona mwakolanga ewintu wino alala nawo ni mwawanga ni mukiagenda-genda mu owulamu owua owuoni owua ku ekialo kuno.* 8 Ni katio nyingeeno, murekane ne enkola ziona ezifwana zino: okusu, ekuyia enda, owuwi, okuwoola awandi uwiiwi, no okuwoola amangʼana aga ensuuko.* 9 Mutalaga awiina wiinyu amangʼana aga owuweeyi, aeniki mwamala okureka owulamu owukulu ne enkola yawuo, 10 mugaluka muingizia owulamu owuyia, owukolwa owuyia mu omufwano ogwa Katonda omulusi wiinyu, kiomo mugia emberi okumanya Kristo.* 11 Mu owulamu owuyia wuno, kuwulao okugawukana mbwe koozi ono no Omugiriiki namba *Omuyaudi, oirrwe *enyangu namba otairrwe enyangu, omumaya oema mu oluganda olukiari enyima, omugule namba ori owuyanga. Ni, okuwa ku Kristo kwengʼene nikwo okunene kandi Kristo nio oturimo twona.*

12 Kutio, aeniki Katonda amiire okuwalowola okuwa awantu waae aweeru kandi awagonziiwue, musugaane mukole wukalu okuwa awantu awasasra awandi, awa emioyo emilootu, awaisiizie ansi, awagonziizie owuolu kandi awaoreevu. 13 Muwe awantu awaisikia emioyo kandi murekerane amangʼana goona kukawa mbwe omwina waao akukoriireki. Murekerane kiomo Omwami yawarekera amawi giinyu.* 14 Ne ekineene ku ewintu wino wiona, no olugonzi. Olugonzi olwo nilwo olutuambaania alala geeza ki ekintu ekilala.*

15 Mureke owuolu owuema ku Kristo wuwakangatre mu emioyo giinyu, aeniki ki ewiimo ewia omuwiri omulala, Katonda yawaeta okumenya mu owuolu. Kandi muwe ne emioyo egia okuirania otioo enyinga ziona.** 16 Mureke amangʼana aga Katonda gaingire mu owulamu wuinyu ku owungi, ni muigerera kandi muigaanania na amaganga. Kandi muembere Katonda ni mumutondowola ne enyembo ezia zabuuri alala ne enyembo zindi, ni mumuiranizia otioo mu emioyo giinyu. 17 Ku ewintu wiona ewia mukola kandi ewia muwoola, muwikole kandi muwiwoole ni murinda eriina eria *Omwami Yesu kandi muwe ni muiranizia Katonda Ise otioo ni kuwitra ku Kristo.*

Ni kiomo mumiire okulagwa mbwe Mariiko aaza eyo, na awaazreko mumuingizie geeza.* 11 Yesu, oetwa ne eriina rindi mbwe Yusto, oona awatumiire amakeezio. Awantu awasatu awo niwo *Awayaudi wengʼene awari no okuganya ku Kristo awakola ni inze alala mu emirimo egia *Owuami owua Katonda, kandi wamiire okunkalagusia ino.

Awasawira Katonda na amaani ino enyinga ziona kandi omwoyo gwae guwarirra mbwe mukome muwe awakalangufu kandi awaisimbiire mu okuagala okwa Katonda.* 13 Kuwuene, mbalaga mbwe amiire okuwa na awasawira wukalu ino, inywe na Awakristo awa Laodeesia na awa Yierapooli.* 14 Omulaktaari Luuka owa ngonziizie ino, ni Deema, woona wawakeeziizie.*

15 Mwona mutukeeziizieko Awakristo awiina wiifu awari Laodeesia ni wamwifu owekiala Niifa alala na Awakristo awaagaana okusawa omwae.*

Ebaruwa esookere eya Paulo yajojera

AWATHESALONIIKA

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Ebaruwa esookere eyagiira awa ekaniisa eya Thesaloniika yajojwa no *Omutumwa Paulo na ari ku omugizi omunene ogwa Korintho omwaka ogwa 51. Ekaniisa eya Thesaloniika yatanikwa no Omutumwa Paulo mu olugendo lwae olwa okuwiri olwa okulanzia *injiili. Thesaloniika nigwo ogwawanga omugizi omunene ogwa ekialo ekia Makedoonia. Olwa *Awayaudi waareeta erioga ku omugizi ogwo, Paulo yafuma omwo wuangu-wuangu agia Berea. Lunyima, na ari Atheene, Paulo yatuma omwina waae Timotheeo okugia Thesaloniika okukalangusia awa ekaniisa eri eyo no okuwagerera amangi, ni iye ataao na agia Korintho. Timotheeo yamuiranako na ari Korintho amureetra amangʼana amalootu aga awa ekaniisa eya Thesaloniika: kiomo wari no okuganya okuisimbiire ku Katonda kukawa mbwe waawonanga eminyako-nyaako okuema ku awantu awaawalwanianga. Kutio, Paulo yawajojera ebaruwa eno okuwa-ambia amaani no okuirania embuuzia ziawu zindi, ino-ino ku amangʼana aga okuirana okwa Yesu *Kristo okwa okuwiri.

Paulo yajojera Awathesaloniika okuwakalangusia mu okuganya na awalaga mbwe wamuwone ki ekilago. Nikulondokana ne embuuzia yaawu ku ekiiza okuikorra Awakristo awamiire okufwa, Paulo yawairania mbwe awaafwa ni wari no okuganya woona wariwa alala na awalamu ni Yesu ari-irana okutoola awantu waae. Kutio, wasikie emioyo giawu namba ni wawita mu eminyako-nyaako emilulu, namba egia olumbe. Katonda ari nawo kandi waaza okuwa awakire mu owutuuko olwa Kristo ari-irana okuwatoola.

Amakeezio agasookere

1 Inze Paulo, ni ndi alala ni Siila* ni Timotheeo, mbajojera ebaruwa eno inywe awantu awa ekaniisa eya Katonda Ise no *Omwami Yesu *Kristo, eri Thesaloniika. Owusiza no owuolu owua Katonda wuwe ni inywe.*

Paulo airania otioo ku okuganya okwa Awathesaloniika

2 Tuiranizia Katonda otioo enyinga ziona ni tuwasawira inywe mwona aa tutaluya, ni tuwaeta na amiina giinyu. 3 Amiire goona ni tusawa emberi wa Soifu Katonda, tukiari okulawira emirimo giinyu egiemera mu okuganya kwinyu ku Kristo, no okuinyaasia kwinyu ne emirimo emikalu okuema ku olugonzi olwa muri nalwo, alala no okusikia emioyo okureetwa no okuwa no okurindirra ku Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo.

4 Waamwifu awa Katonda agonziizie, tumanyire mbwe Katonda amiire okuwalowola, 5 aeniki amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda aga twawalanzizia ngagakawanga mala amangʼana masa, ni gaawanga na amaani aga *Omwoyo Omweru owagera ni muwa no owuene ku amangʼana ago. Mumanyire geeza kiomo twawanga ni tumenyere ni inywe kandi kiomo twawatunzianga.* 6 Kandi mwalonda olunyaafwa lwifu no olwa Omwami Yesu aeniki mwaganya muingizia amangʼana ago no owusangaavu owua Omwoyo Omweru yawa-aa, kukawa mbwe mwalwaniwuanga wukalu.* 7 Kutio, mwawa ekilago ekilootu ku awantu woona awari no okuganya ku Kristo awari mu ewialo ewia Makedoonia na Akaaya. 8 Aeniki ni kuemera ku inywe, amangʼana aga Omwami Yesu gamiire okuilanzia kandi gawurikana, ngʼani mala mu ekialo ekia Makedoonia na Akaaya engʼene, na amangʼana aga okuganya kwinyu ku Katonda ago gamiire okuilanzia asi-uasi, aa kiwulao ekintu kindi ekia tusugaane tusongeko kandi.* 9 Aeniki iwo aweene walaga awantu kiomo mwatuingizia geeza ni kiomo mwagaluka mulaga katonda ensaasa omugongo, ni muganya okukorra Katonda omulamu kandi owa kuwuene.* 10 Lwona wawoola kiomo murindirra okuuza okwa omuzia waae okuema ku igulu. Yesu nio Omuzia waae owa yaziusia okuema ku awafu kandi owatununula atutoola mu okusu okwa Katonda okuuza.

Emirimo egia Paulo yakola Thesaloniika

1 Waamwifu, inywe aweene mumanyire geeza mbwe okuuza okwa twaza okuwawona eyo ngakukawa okwa owusa, yaaya. 2 Kukawa mbwe anyuma ao twawanga ni tumiire okuwona eminyako-nyaako kandi twakorrwa enkola embiiwi ku omugizi ogwa Filiipi, kiomo mumanyire. Ni twasianiya okuwalanzizia *injiili na amaani aga Katonda iifu, kukawa mbwe awantu awangi waatulwanianga.* 3 Mumanyire geeza mbwe amangʼana aga tuwoola ngagaema mu engerera ezia owuweeyi, okuagala okuwiiwi nakuwa engira eya okuwasemerezia, yaaya.* 4 Ni owugawuuke, ifwe tugamba-gamba ki awantu awa Katonda aganyire nawo okuteerwa injiili mu amakono. Ifwe okuagala kwifu ngʼano okuomerezia awantu yaaya, ni no okuomerezia Katonda, owa nio omanyirizia ewintu ewiri mu emioyo giifu.* 5 Mumanyire mbwe ifwe ngatukawaazako na amangʼana amanyunkuulu okuwavuwa kugere muganye ni ifwe, lwona Katonda ari omuwoni wiifu mbwe ngatukawaisemereziako okutuukra ekintu-ukintu ku inywe.* 6 Ngatukaagala okutondowolwa na awantu yawa, wawe inywe namba awandi awasaasa.*

7 Ki *awatumwa awa *Kristo, twawanga na amaani aga okuwaagalako ewintu. Ni twawa awasiza ni inywe mala kiomo ngʼina omwana orinda omwana waae omwene.* 8 Twawagonzia ino, kutio ngatukawa-aa mala amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda gengʼene, ni twawafumizizia kugia owulamu wuifu wuona, aeniki mwawanga ni mumiire okuwa awiiko wiifu ekiweye ne engege.* 9 Waamwifu, kuwuene inywe muesa okuingirizia emirimo emikalu egia tuakola no owuzito owua twawona ni twawanga agati iinyu. Twakolanga emirimo owuire no omuwasu kugere tutaweera omuntu ku inywe omusigo, ni twawalanzizianga amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda.* 10 Aweene muri awawoni kandi Katonda oona ari omuwoni mbwe ifwe twawanga aweeru, awigolovu kandi awawula ne ekiwi ekia wakawoolwako, ni twawanga agati iinyu inywe awantu awaganyire ku Kristo.* 11 Aeniki mwona mumanyire geeza mbwe twakorra omuntu ki omuntu mala ekia swawu awaana akakorra awaana waae,* 12 ni tuwakalangusia, ni tuwa-ambia amaani kandi ni tuwaisasaama mbwe mumenye owulamu owusugaane emberi wa Katonda owawaeta mu owuami wuae kandi mu owunene wuae.*

13 Kandi tuikazia Katonda enyinga ziona aeniki olwa mwawurra amangʼana aga Katonda aga twaza okuwalanzizia, ngamukagatoola mala ki amangʼana aga awantu yaaya, ni mwagatoola ki amangʼana aga Katonda kiomo gari, kuwuene. Amangʼana ago nigo agakola mu owulamu wuinyu inywe awari no okuganya ku Kristo.* 14 Waamwifu, mwafwana mala na awantu awa amakaniisa aga Katonda agari ku Kristo agari mu ekialo ekia Yudeea, aeniki mwatuukra eminyako-nyaako okuema ku awiinyu aweene mala kiomo woona waatuukra eminyako-nyaako okuema ku *Awayaudi awiina waawu.* 15 Awayaudi niwo awaaita *Omwami Yesu na *awagambi awa Katonda kandi niwo awaaturumusia ale. Ngawaomerezia Katonda kandi wari awazigu awa awantu woona* 16 aeniki watuigarra okulaga awantu awatari Awayaudi amangʼana agareeta owuinunuzi. Mu engira eno, waongerezia amawi gaawu okutambuka omurengo. Owutuukre, okusu okwa Katonda kwona aa kuagana kuwatuukreko.*

17 Ni waamwifu, olwa twagawulwa ni inywe ku enyinga entono, mu omuwiri ni ngʼani mu amaingirizio, tuakola wukalu okuuza okuwonana ni inywe amiiso na amiiso aeniki twawanga na amiiga amangi ni inywe.* 18 Kutio, tuagalanga okuwaazako okuwawona, ino-ino inze Paulo nyakola wukalu okuuza eyo kangi, ni *Sataani yatuigarra. 19 Kane katio awatusangaarre nawo kandi awatuteereko emioyo giifu awagawuuke ni inywe ni waawu anu? Ngʼani inywe awari ki ekigudu kiifu ekia owuyaayi ekia turi-itumbula nakio emberi wa Omwami Yesu olwa ari-irana? 20 Kuwuene, ni inywe awagera ni tutuukra owunene kandi ni tuwa awasangaavu.*

Nyawanga no owuti mbwe andi omugeezaani* amiire okuwageezaania kandi emirimo egia tuakola eyo giweere egia owusa.* 6 Ni, nyingeeno katio olwa Timotheeo atuiraaneko na awaemako eyo, atureetiire amangʼana amalootu ku okuganya okwa muri nakwo alala no olugonzi lwinyu. Lwona atulagre mbwe mukiari na amaingirizio amalootu, kandi mbwe kiomo turi na amiiga aga okuwawona, nintio mwona muri na amiiga aga okutuwona.* 7 Kutio waamwifu, ku eminyako-nyaako ne emidambo giona egia turi nagio, amangʼana aga okuganya kwinyu okwo gatuambiizie amaani ino. 8 Aeniki okuimerra okwa muimerre wukalu ku Omwami okwo kutuwuluusie emioyo. 9 Ne engiraaki eya tuesa okuiranizia Katonda otioo owusugre, ku owusangaavu owua turi nawuo emberi waae, ku amangʼana giinyu? 10 Owuire no omuwasu tusawa Katonda ne emioyo giifu egia munsi mbwe tutuukre iwaga tuuze eyo tuwonane ni inywe amiiso na amiiso kandi tuwatunzie okuizuzia ekikiakeeyire mu okuganya kwinyu.* 11 Katonda kandi Soifu omwene alala no *Omwami iifu Yesu, waganye watuigurreo engira eya okuuza okuwawona. 12 Omwami aganye aongerezie olugonzi olwa muri nalwo agati iinyu aweene ni ku awantu wandi woona luwe olungi ino, mala kiomo twona turi no olugonzi olungi ino ni inywe.* 13 Nsawa mbwe Omwami akalangusie emioyo giinyu kugere muwe awantu aweeru awawula ne ekiwi ekia wakawoolwako emberi wa Katonda kandi Soifu, olwa Omwami iifu Yesu ariiza na awantu waae aweeru woona.*

Ebaruwa eno ne endala ku ebaruwa ezia Paulo yajoja na amiire okufuma mu owusiwe Rooma mu emiaka egia 60–62. Ni yawanga ku olugendo lwae olwa okune olwa okulanzia *injiili, yareka Tiito ku omugizi ogwa Kireete na awarra ekaniisa eri ao, ni Timotheeo iye yawanga Efeeso na atunzia ekaniisa eri eyo. Paulo iye yagia ku omugizi ogwa Filiipi oguri Makedoonia kandi eyo nio yajojera ebaruwa eno.

Paulo yalaganga Timotheeo okuwa amankaga na amanyire mbwe no omuntu awurra engerera embiiwi, aaza yagilonda. Kutio paka tumanye owuene kugere tuwuimerreko ni tulowa engerera embiiwi eya *Sataani areeta agati eya awantu awa Katonda kugere aone owulamu wuawu. Ekaniisa eya Efeeso yawanga ne eteekere mu amangʼana aga *Awayaudi aga okulonda endagirra ziawu, alala no okuganya mbwe ekialo ne ewintu ewirimo wiri ewiwiiwi, kandi mbwe oagala okugia ku igulu paka azire ewiokuria windi ne ewintu windi ewinywewua alala no okuwa alala no omukazi waao. Paulo agaania Timotheeo ku engerera zino kandi omuambia amaani awe *omukurumu owa *Kristo Yesu orindre amangʼana gaae. Lwona amusikirra ku ewintu ne enkola eya omukangasi owa ekaniisa asugaane awe nawio.

Nkujojera ebaruwa eno, inze Paulo, *omutumwa owa Yesu Kristo nikulondokana no okuagala okwa *Omwami Katonda omununuzi iifu alala no okwa Yesu Kristo, omuntu owa tuteereko emioyo giifu giona. Nyagala mbwe Soifu Katonda no Omwami iifu Yesu wawe awasiza ni iwue, wakuambre amagongi kandi wakulage owuolu wuawu.

Okusiagizia awagerezi awa owuweeyi

(1Timo 4:1–7; Tiit 1:10–11; 3:8–11)

3 Kiomo nyakulagirizia olwa nyawanga ni ngia Makedoonia mbwe oweere Efeeso, nyagala mbwe okole okuweera eyo, kugere osikirre awantu wandi eyo wareke okugerera engerera indi egawuuke ne eiifu.* 4 Lwona wagaanie wataaza wata amaingirizio gaawu ku eminayo, no okuwala waaguukwa okutawua. Wino wireeta mala okuikululana mu amangʼana okutatunzia omuntu-umuntu kandi okutatuusia okuagala okwa Katonda, okwa awari no okuganya ku Kristo engʼene niwo awaesa okutuusia.* 5 Ekineene ekia owulagirizio wuifu wuno wureeta, no okuwa no olugonzi oluema mu omwoyo omulootu, omwoyo ogumanyire okugawula ewilootu ne ewiwiiwi, alala no okuwa no okuganya okuri kuwuene.* 6 Awantu wandi wamiire okureka engerera zino, wagaluka waingira mu entaka eziwula ne emirimo.* 7 Wagala okuwa awagerezi awa *ensikirra ezia Katonda, kukawa mbwe ngawamanyire ewintu ewia wagamba-gambako nakuwa amangʼana aga wawoola no owusiani.*

8 Ni tumanyire mbwe ensikirra ndootu ne ekorrwe nayo mu engira endootu.* 9 Lwona tumanye mbwe ensikirra ngazikateerwao awantu awigolovu, ni ziateerwao awantu awatatiire ensikirra na awa ekimage, awatatiire Katonda na awooni. Kandi ziateerwao awataganyire ku Katonda na awagamba-gamba uwiiwi ku Katonda, awaita waaswawu ni waangʼinwawu, awiisi na 10 awasondo. Lwona ziateerwao awantu awaitala na awakazi nakuwa na awasaaza awiina waawu, awaguzi awa awantu na awaweeyi, awaifuuwa wusaasa alala na awakola ewindi wiona ewitalondokana ne engerera endootu eya Kristo.** 11 Engerera eituukrana mu amangʼana amalootu agalagana owunene owua Katonda osugre no okutondowolwa. Katonda yata amangʼana amalootu gano mu amakono gange kugere ngalage awantu.

Paulo aikaziizie Katonda ku owusiza wuae

12 Nyiranizia Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo, omiire okumpa amaani, otioo ino aeniki yantoola ki omuntu osugre, okwagera anta mu emirimo giae. 13 Yankorra otio kukawa mbwe kale nyawanga ni mugamba-gambako uwiiwi, ni nyaasia awaawanga ni wamuganyireko kandi nyawanga omululu pe. Kukawa kutio, nya-ambrwa amagongi aeniki nyakolanga ewio mu okutamanya ni mbula okuganya ku Yesu.* 14 Omwami Katonda yandaga owusiza wuae owungi owuluguulwa kandi yampa omwoyo ogwa okugonzia awantu alala no okuwa no okuganya ku iye. Wino wituuzra ni turi mu owulala ni Kristo Yesu. 15 Olugambo oluwoola mbwe, “Yesu Kristo yaaza ku ekialo kugere anunule awooni” luri kuwuene kandi awantu woona wasugaane waganye nalwo. Inze omwene ni inze omwoni omunene okukira awooni wandi woona.* 16 Ni Katonda yampambra amagongi kugere ni kuwitra ku inze, omuntu omwoni omunene okukira awooni wandi woona, Yesu Kristo alagane owuorevu wuae na awooni, awaazanga okumuganyako kugere woona watuukre owulamu owutariwua ku iye.* 17 Katio Katonda Omwami owa amiire goona, Katonda omulala engʼene otafwa kandi otawonwa aeewue owunene no owuti amiire goona. *Amin.

18 Timotheeo mwana wange, nku-aa ensikirra eno, ewurzania na amangʼana aga *awagambi waakugamba-gambako mbwe gaaza okukuikorra. Gaingizie kandi londokana nayo kugere olwanagane geeza na awagerezi awa owuweyi.* 19 No okola otio, otareka okuwa no okuganya alala no omwoyo ogutakukengera ekiina. Wario awantu awamiire okulowa amangʼana gano kandi waona okuganya okulootu okwa waawanga nakwo.* 20 Walala ku awantu awo ni Imanuusi ni Aleksanda, awantu awa miire okureka mu amakono aga *Sataani kugere waigerere owuwi owua okugamba-gamba uwiiwi ku Katonda.*

Kiomo Awakristo wasugaane wasawe Katonda

1-2 Kutio, owusookere, nyagala mbwe muwe ni muingirizia awantu woona, ni ino-ino awaami alala na awakangasi woona. Muwaisasaamre ni muwasawira, lwona muwaiembere ni muwaikazizia Katonda. Okwo kuuza okugera tumenye mu owulamu owuolu owuwulamo erioga mu owulongoole no owuti.* 3 Kuno kulootu kandi kusangaazia Katonda omununuzi iifu,* 4 oagala mbwe awantu woona wanunulwe kandi wamanye igerera eria kuwuene ku Yesu *Kristo.* 5 Katonda ari omulala engʼene kandi omuntu oreeta empurizanio agati ya Katonda na awantu ari omuntu omulala engʼene.* 6 Omuntu ono ni Kristo Yesu, owaifumia iye omwene okufwira ekialo kugere awantu woona wasiwulwe mu amawi. Kino ne ekilagano mbwe Katonda yagalanga okununula awantu woona, ekiaikola olwa enyinga ezia Katonda yataao ziatuuka kuwuene.*

7 Kandi nikio ekiagera ni ndowolwa ki *omutumwa owa Yesu Kristo kandi omulanzi, kugere mbe omugerezi owa awatari *Awayaudi, ogerera amangʼana agari kuwuene aga okuwa no okuganya ku Kristo. (Ni mboola otio ngʼambeeya, ni mboola ekiri kuwuene.)*

8 Kutio asi-uasi aa muikumiizie okusawa Katonda, nyagala mbwe awekisaaza wasawe Katonda ni wagingre kungulu amakono ameeru agatakola owuoni ni wawula no okusu namba olusoolo no omuntu.* 9 Nintio lwona nyagala mbwe awekikazi waiwoye mu engira endootu elagana owuti. Watawa-uwa awantu awasuka emvwiri nakuwa awaiwooye enguwo ezia iguzi eria kungulu namba awaiwoya ewintu ewia edhaabu ne ewindi ewingʼena-ngʼena ewia amasendi amangi.* 10 Ni, wasugaane waingizie enkola endootu ezisugre na awakazi awaieta mbwe wari awalongoole.*

11 Omukazi asugaane ategerezie kandi asarigire enyinga ezia amangʼana aga Katonda gagererwa, na aiisiizie ansi. 12 Inze omwene ngʼanganyire omuntu owekikazi okugerera nakuwa okuwa na amaani ku awasaaza ni paka wasarigire. 13 Kane Adaamu ngʼanio owasooka okulukwa, Aawa na akiari?** 14 Lwona ngʼano omukazi, otari Adaamu, nio owasemereziwua nawuno agwa mu owuoni?* 15 Ni kukawa kutio, omukazi aaza okununulwa na arindre omugawo ogwa omwiwuzi owa awaana, na akorre olutuunyo mu okuwa no okuganya, okuwa no olugonzi na awantu no owulamu owuitengeeke, alala no okumenya owulamu owulagana owuti.*

Awakangasi awawarra owulala owua Awakristo

(Tiit 1:5–9)

1 Ni kuwuene mbwe omuntu oagala okuwa omukangasi owarra owulala owua Awakristo, aagala emirimo emilootu ino. 2 Kutio, owarra owulala owua Awakristo paka awe omuntu owula ne ekintu-ukintu ekiwiiwi ekia akawoolwako. Asugaane awe omusaaza owa omukazi omulala kandi omanyire okugawula amangʼana geeza. Lwona asugaane awe omuntu oirindre mu enkola ziae, ogonziizie okuingizia awageni kandi oeerwe owuti. Paka awe omuntu omanyire okugerera geeza.* 3 Ataaza yawa omuntu omunywi nakuwa omuntu ogonziizie iiye, na asugaane awe omuntu omuolu, otagonziizie okusoolana na awantu kandi otagonziizie amasendi. 4 Lwona paka awe omuntu orindre omugizi gwae geeza, owona mbwe awaana waae wamuwurra mu engira ziona kandi mbwe wari no owuti ino. 5 Aeniki omuntu otarindre omugizi gwae geeza akarinda otie owulala owua awantu awa Katonda? 6 Ataaza yawa omuntu onunuulwe ampi, aeniki omuntu ki oyo aesa yawa no okuitumbula mu omwoyo gwae, mala yakengerwa ekiina ekia *Sataani yakengerwa. 7 Asugaane awe omuntu ori ne eriina ilootu namba ku awantu awatari Awakristo kugere watamurega. Okwo kuuza okugera areke okuingra mu emiweto egia Sataani.*

Awatunzia awakangasi awa owulala owua Awakristo

8 Awantu awatunzia awakangasi awawarra owulala owua Awakristo woona wasugaane wawe awantu awaeerwe owuti, awatari awa endimi iwiri, nakuwa awanywi. Watawa awantu awagonziizie okutuukra ewintu nakuwa amasendi mu engira embiiwi. 9 Lwona wasugaane wawe awantu awa-ambiriire owuene owua okuganya ku *Kristo ne emioyo emiigolovu. 10 Ni wakiari okueewua emirimo, wasugaane wawarrwe geeza, aa ni wawula ekintu-ukintu ekiwiiwi, nikwo waeewue emirimo egio.

Igerera ku awakazi awafwire, awagaaka na awagule

1 Otaaza wasiagizia omuntu mukulu no okusu, ni mugamba-gambre mpoola kiomo okagamba-gambra swao. Toola awazia na awaala ki waamwinyu,* 2 na awakazi awakulu ki waangʼinwao, no olagana owueru owuwulamo okuikonya-konya.

3 Awakazi awafwire, awari awafwire kuwuene aeniki wawula no okawatunzia, wa-ee owuti ino. 4 No omukazi omufwire ori na awaana nakuwa awiizukulu, awaana awo wasugaane waigerere okukola emirimo egia okutunzia awakazi awafwire awari mu emigizi giawu, kiomo awaganyire ku Katonda wasugaane wakole. Ku okukola otio waoloola awiiwuzi waawu namba waaguukwa waawu ku okuwakomia, kandi ekio kisangaazia Katonda ino. 5 Omukazi omufwire kuwuene, no osigaale omwene owula okamutunzia. Iye atoola amaingirizio gaae goona yata ku Katonda, kutio owuire no omuwasu awa na asawa na aisasaama Katonda, aa atareka.* 6 No omukazi omufwire ogonziizie mala ewintu ewimu-aa owusangaavu iye omwene enyinga ziona, iye kukawa mbwe akiari omulamu agenda-genda, ni yamala okufwa kale. 7 Laga awantu amangʼana gano kugere nyanga watatuukrwa no owuwi.

8 No omuntu olowere okutunzia awaganda waae, ino-ino awa mu enyumba yaae omwene, amiire okulowa okuganya okwa turi nakwo kandi ari omuwiiwi okukira namba omuntu otaganyire ku Katonda.

Lwona paka awe omukazi owa olugendo olulootu kandi owakwewua no omusaaza omulala engʼene kandi owa enkola endootu. 10 Omukazi oyo paka awe owa awantu wamanyire mbwe yanala mu enkola endootu kiomo okukomia awaana waae geeza, okugonzia okuingizia awageni, okukorra Awakristo emirimo egia ansi kiomo egia okuozia amagulu kandi okutunzia awiina waae awari ne emidambo. Paka awe ori owuyanga okukola ewintu ewilootu mu engira ziona.*

11 Otaganya waingizia amiina aga awakazi awafwire awakiari awatono mu ebuuki egingre amiina aga awakazi awafwire, aeniki wano, no okuagala okwa omuwiri kuwakirre, wareka engira ezia *Kristo waagwa okuagala awasaaza kandi. 12 Okwo kugera Katonda awaswawuka aeniki waona endagano eya waamala okuingiramo. 13 Owugawuuke na ago, waigerera okukola-ukola wusaasa ni waluga-luga mu amayumba. Ngʼane ekio kiengʼene, ni waweerako ni wawoola-woola awantu kandi waingira mu amangʼana agatari agaawu.

Okwo kuuza okuima omuzigu iwaga eria okutuingirra ifwe awaganyire ku Kristo.* 15 Ee, awandi wamiire okureka engira, walonda *Sataani.

16 Na ario omukazi Omukristo ori no omukazi omufwire engo waae, asugaane amuwarre kugere owulala owua awantu awa Katonda wutawona owuzito, ni wuwarre awakazi awari awafwire kuwuene, awawula na awantu awaesa okuwatunzia. 17 *Awagaaka awa owulala owua Awakristo awakangatra awantu geeza, ino-ino awakola emirimo egia okulanzia no okugerera amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda, wasugre no okuoloolwa kawiri.* 18 Kuri kutio aeniki namba *endagano ewoola etino, “Enyinga ezia okola ne engʼombe mu okuwuula emere, otagisiwa omunwa.”† Lwona ewoola mbwe, “Owemirimo asugaane okuoloolwa ku emirimo giae.”†*

19 Otaaza watoola ekintu-ukintu ekiwiiwi ekiwoorrwe ku omukangasi owa awantu awa Katonda mbwe kiri kuwuene, no okiari okukiwurra ku awantu awatakeeyire wawiri nakuwa wasatu.* 20 Ni na ario omukangasi ogia-ugia emberi okukola owuoni, musiagizie emberi wa awantu kugere awandi watie.* 21 Nkusikirra emberi wa Katonda ni Yesu Kristo alala ne emberi wa *enyankoi waae awalowole mbwe orinde amangʼana gano kandi okorre awantu owuagani, aa otatiire amiiso aga omuntu.

22 Ota-azakana okuta amakono gaao ku omuntu kugere otaingira mu owuoni owua omuntu wundi wusaasa. Irinda owe omweru mu ekintu-ukintu ekia okola.

23 Otaweerako no onywa-unywa amanzi gengʼene, ni toolangako edivaai esugre waanywa kugere ekutunzie ku enda ekunyaasia alala na amalwire aga kusa-kusa.

Igerera eria owuweeyi no owunyazi owuri kuwuene

3 Na ario omuntu ogerera amangʼana agagawuuke kandi otaganyana na amangʼana aga *Omwami iifu Yesu *Kristo agari kuwuene, igerera eri-ira awantu mu okumenya owulamu owulootu* 4 emberi wa Katonda, omuntu oyo aizuule no okuitumbula kandi ngamanyire ekintu-ukintu. Ari no okuagala okuwiiwi okwa okuingra mu ensoolo ne entaka enkalu bere. Ni wino wireeta mala, iyari, na amae, na amanyego, no okuingirizia okuwiiwi ku omuntu,* 5 no okutawurizania okutawua agati ya awantu, no okuingirizia okuoneeke, alala no okutamanya ekiri kuwuene. Iwo waingirizia mbwe okumanya Katonda ne engira eya okutuukra owunyazi.

6 No okumenya owulamu owulootu emberi wa Katonda, no owunyazi ino, ku omuntu owa omwoyo gwae gusugre ne ewia ari nawio.* 7 Kane ekia twaza nakio ku ekialo kuno, nakuwa ekia turigia nakio niki?* 8 Kutio ifwe ni turi no okuria ne enguwo ezia okuiwoya, ewio witusugre. 9 Awantu awagala owunyazi owungi, iwo wakirwa ni waingiire mu okugeazaaniwua, kandi wagwa mu omuweto. Wakola ewintu ewia owumaya lwona wawa no okuagala okuwiiwi ino. Wino wiona ne ewintu ewireeta mala okuoneka ilala.* 10 Aeniki okugonzia amasendi niwuo owutanikro owua amawi goona. Wario awantu awangi awa ku okuagala amasendi, wamiire okureka namba okuganya kwawu ku Katonda kandi waireetra emidambo egiluguulwa.

Paulo akengeere Timotheeo amagezi

11 Ni iwue Timotheeo omuntu owa Katonda, rumuka oeme mu ewintu wino wiona. Ta omwoyo gwao ku okuagala okuwa omuigolovu, kandi ku okuwa omuntu omenyere owulamu owulootu emberi wa Katonda. Lwona aagala okuwa no okuganya no olugonzi, okuwa omuntu owa olutuunyo kandi omuolu.* 12 Lwanagana geeza mu okuganya, okire amaye agaazra awantu awari no okuganya ku Kristo kugere otuukre owulamu owutariwua. Owulamu owuo niwuo owua waeterwa olwa wawoola emberi wa awantu awangi mbwe ori no okuganya ku Yesu.* 13 Kutio nkusikirra emberi owa Katonda oesania ewintu wiona mu owulamu, kandi emberi wa Yesu Kristo owawoola geeza ekiayawanga emberi wa Pontias Pilaato,* 14 mbwe paka orinde *ensikirra zino geeza, zitawa ne embala namba ekintu-ukintu ekiwiiwi ekia omuntu akaziwoolako. Gia emberi okukola otio nawuno okuirana okwa Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo kutuuke.* 15 Katonda osugre no okutondowolwa, omunene otuukre, Omwami owa awaami kandi omukangasi okirre woona, aaza okugera kino kiikole mu enyinga ezia yamala okutaao.* 16 Katonda, owa engʼene nio ori no owulamu owutariwua, omenyere mu owueru owudangaazia kandi owa awulao omiire okumuwona namba orimuwona, aeewue owuti no owunene. *Amin.*

17 Laga awanyazi mu ekialo ekia nyingeeno kino mbwe wataitumbula, lwona watata emioyo giawu ku owunyazi owuwua wuno. Aa okukola otio, wasugaane wate emioyo giawu ku Katonda otu-aa ewintu ewigera ni tuwa awantu awasangaavu mu owulamu wuifu.* 18 Walagirizie wakole ewintu ewilootu kandi wawe awanyazi mu enkola endootu. Wawe awaani kandi awari owuyanga okusangirizia ewintu na awiina waawu. 19 Ni wakorre watio, waiwiikra ewilootu ewiriwaweera ki ensimbirro mu amiire agaaza. Ekio kirigera watuukre owulamu, owuri owulamu kuwuene.*

20 Ee, Timotheeo, rinda ewintu wiona ewimiire okuteewua mu amakono gaao. Rekana ilala na amangʼana amasaasa aga ekialo alala no okuikululana mu amangʼana amakalu bere okwa awandi watoola mbwe no owuganga, ni ngakuri kutio yaaya.* 21 Awantu wandi wamiire okuteesia okuganya kwawu okulootu ni walonda engerera embiiwi eno.

Ebaruwa eya okuwiri eno yajojwa enyinga ezia Paulo yawanga na ari mu owusiwe owutuukre Rooma, na asiwirwe ne eminyororo. Yajojwa amiire amatono ni Paulo akiari okuitwa no Omwami Niiro, owaigoga omwaka ogwa 68. Omwaka ogwa yajojerwamo ngagumanyiike yawa. Na awantu wangi wawoola mbwe Paulo yaitwa agati ya omwaka ogwa 67 ni 68. Ebaruwa eno yatumrwa Timotheeo na ari Efeeso.

Paulo yawanga na ari mu eminyako-nyaako emilulu. Kutio, yalaganga Timotheeo kiomo ari no omwoyo omululu kandi kiomo ari na amiiga nae alala na awiiko waae wandi woona. Kukawa mbwe yawonanga owuzito ino, kandi owulamu wuae wuafwananga ki owuwua, nikulondokana ne emidambo egia Omwami Niiro yamuingiziamo alala na Awakristo wandi woona, Paulo yawanga na akiari no omwoyo ogwa okuganya mbwe Katonda aaza okutuusia ewintu wiona geeza mu owulamu wuae owua ku ekialo kuno.

Amakeezio agasookere

1-2 Ku Timotheeo omwana wange owa ngonziizie. Nkujojera kandi ebaruwa eno inze Paulo, *omutumwa owa Yesu *Kristo nikulondokana no okuagala okwa Katonda. Katonda yantuma, kugere ndanzizie awantu amangʼana aga owulamu owua yamala okuifuuwa okutu-aa ni kuwitra ku okuwa kwifu mu owulala ni Yesu Kristo. Katonda alala ni Kristo Yesu wawe awasiza ni iwue, wakuambre amagongi kandi waku-ee owuolu wuawu.

Paulo aikazia Katonda

3 Ni nkuingirizia enyinga ziona ni nsawa, nyirania otioo ino ku Katonda owa nsawa no omwoyo gwange gutankengera ekiina. Katonda ono nio owa waaguukwa wiifu waakorranga.** 4 Nyagala okukuwona ino kugere omwoyo gwange guizule ne ekisangaalo, aeniki amiiga gandia ni iwue ino ni nyingiriizie amaziga gaao. 5 Lwona nyingirizia okuganya okuri kuwuene okwa ori nakwo ku Kristo, okwa guukwa waao Loisi ni ngʼinwao Yunia waawanga nakwo kandi manyire kuwuene mbwe ori nakwo na reero.*

Paulo a-ambia Timotheeo amaani

6 Kutio nkuizurizia mbwe ogie emberi okukola ne empanwa eya Katonda yaku-aa olwa nyakutaako okukono, e-eeme ki omurro oguwutirrwa.* 7 Aeniki Katonda ngakatu-aa omwoyo ogugera ni twawa awantu awati yaaya, ni yatu-aa omwoyo ogugera ni twawa na amaani, no olugonzi alala no okumenya owulamu owuirindre.* 8 Kutio otasuuka okuwoola ewia omanyire ku Omwami iifu, lwona otasuuka okulagana mbwe ori mu owulala ni inze ori mu owusiwe ku okukola okuagala kwae. Ni toola oluwaala lwao mu okunyaka-nyaakra amangʼana gaae amalootu, no okola na amaani aga Katonda omwene aesana.* 9 Katonda nio owatununula kandi atueta no owuesani owuitengeeke ku okuagala kwae omwene kandi ku owusiza wuae owua yatu-aa ni kuwitra ku Kristo Yesu, namba ne ekialo kikiari okuwaao, ni ngʼani ku enkola ziifu endootu, yaaya.* 10 Owusiza wuno katio nyingeeno wutufumiire ni kuwitra ku okuuza okwa Omununuzi iifu Kristo Yesu, owakira olumbe. Yesu nio owatulaga ekia owulamu owutariwua wuri kuwuene, ni kuwitra ku amangʼana gaae amalootu.*

11 Katonda yandowola okuwa omuyaazi, omutumwa kandi omugerezi owa amangʼana gaae amalootu gano,* 12 kandi ekio nikio ekigera ni nyaka-nyaaka otino. Ni mbula ensuuko, aeniki manyire owa nganyreko kandi manyire kuwuene mbwe ari na amaani aga okurinda ewia muteriire mu amakono* nawuno owuire owua owutuuko. 13 Londokana na amangʼana agari kuwuene aga wawurra ni ngerera kandi isimbiizia mu okuganya no olugonzi, agari agiifu ku okuwa mu owulala ni Kristo Yesu.* 14 Rinda geeza engerera eri kuwuene eya *Omwoyo Omweru otumenyeremo yakuteera mu amakono eno.* 15 Omanyire mbwe Awakristo woona awa mu ekitemo ekia *Eesia, ekigingre waawu Fijeeli ni Amojeeni wansomooke.* 16 Nsawa Katonda mbwe alage enyumba eya Onesporaasi owusiza wuae aeniki yaweerangako na anyambia amaani kusa kandi ngakasuuka mbwe ndi mu owusiwe, 17 no olwa yatuuka-utuuka Rooma otino, yaanyagala nawuno antuukra. 18 Nsawa mbwe Omwami amulage owusiza wuae owuire owua owutuuko.

Owa-iiye omulootu owa Kristo Yesu

1 Ni iwue mwana wange, wa omukalangufu mu owusiza owua tutuukra ku Katonda mu okuwa kwifu mu owulala ni *Kristo Yesu, 2 kandi ta ewintu wiona ewia wamiire okuwurra ni ngerera emberi wa awantu mu amakono aga awantu awamanyiike mbwe warinda endagano, kugere iwo woona wagerere awandi.* 3 Wa ni ifwe alala mu okuwona eminyako-nyaako gino ki owa-iiye omulootu owa Kristo Yesu.* 4 Awulao owa-iiye omiire okufumira iiye, owa kandi ainyonkoonia na amangʼana aga omugizi, aeniki okuagala kwae okuneene kuri okusangaazia omukangasi owamu-aa emirimo. 5 Lwona, omuntu ogiire okudiewana embiro ngaesa yaeewua owukire na atalondokaane ne endagirra ezia embiro.* 6 Omurimi orimire wukalu nio osugaane atuukre omugawo gwae ku emere esooka okugeswa. 7 Ingirizia ino ku ewintu ewia nkulaga wino aeniki *Omwami Katonda aaza okuku-aa amaganga aga okumanya ewia wilagana wiona. 8 Lwona ingirizia amangʼana amalootu aga ndanzia ku Yesu Kristo omuizukulu owa Daudi owa Katonda yaziusia aema ku awafu.* 9 Okulanzia amangʼana amalootu gano kugera ni nyaasiwua kandi ni nsiwua ne eminyororo ki omuntu okorre owuoni owunene owuluguulwa. Ni kukawa kutio amangʼana aga Katonda ngagaesa okusiwua.* 10 Kutio ekio kigera nsikiizie omwoyo ku ewintu ewiwiiwi wiona ewinyiikorra, okutunzia awalowole awa Katonda kugere woona watuukre owuinunuzi owuituukrana ku Kristo Yesu alala no owunene wuawuo owutawua.* 11 Amangʼana gano gari kuwuene:

“Ni tufwire ni Kristo,

12 Ni tukorre olutuunyo,

tuuza okurinda nae ekialo.

Ni tumulowere mbwe ngatumumanyire,

13 Ni, ni tutarindre endagano,

iye akiarindre-urinda endagano,

aeniki ngaesa okuilowa omwene yawa.”*

Owemirimo owa Katonda aganyire nae

14 Izurizia Awakristo amangʼana gano kandi wasikirre emberi owa Omwami mbwe warekane no okulwanra amangʼana aeniki okwo ngakutunzia ekintu-ukintu ni kuona-uona mala emioyo egia awantu awawategerezia.* 15 Kola wukalu kugere owe omuntu owa Katonda aganyire nae ki owemirimo osugre, owula ne ensuuko ku emirimo egia akola kandi ogerera owuene owuri mu amangʼana gaae mu engira eri kuwuene. 16 Wa ale ne entaka ezitasugre emberi wa Katonda, aeniki zigera awantu ni wasonga okuwa ale no owulamu owua Katonda aagala.* 17 Amangʼana aga wawoola ago gafwanana ne ewisonga ewitaona ewinyaatuuke ku omuwiri.

Ebaruwa eno yajojwa no *Omutumwa Paulo na ari Korintho mu omwaka ogwa 66, amiire amatono ni yamala okujoja ebaruwa esookere eyagiira Timotheeo. Yagijoja na alaga Tiito mbwe aniine emeeli agie ku omugizi ogwa Nikapooli oguri ku omwalo ogwa ekialo ekia Ewugiriiki. Ebaruwa eno yairwa ni Zeena na Apolo.

Tiito yawanga omulala ku Awagiriiki awaasooka okuganya ku *Kristo olwa Paulo yawalanzizia amangʼana aga Kristo mu ekitemo ekia Antioki. Yalowolwa ni Paulo ki owamutunzianga mu engendo ziae, kandi yagia nae namba mu ekiina ekia awatumwa Yerusaleemu mu omwaka ogwa 49. Tiito yatunzia Paulo ni waawanga Efeeso mu olugendo lwae olwa okusatu nikwo Paulo yamutuma okugia okulanzizia ekaniisa eya Korintho. Ni yamala okufuma mu owusiwe ku omugizi ogwa Rooma, Paulo kandi yatoola Tiito wagenda-agenda nae mu olugendo lwae olwa okune, kandi waatanika ekaniisa ku ekizinga ekia Kireete. Paulo yareka Tiito ao okuwarra ekaniisa eyo, iye omwene na agia emberi no olugendo olwa okulanzia.

Paulo aizurizia Tiito mbwe ne ekintu ekinene ino awakangasi awa ekaniisa alala na awa ekaniisa woona ni wamenyere owulamu owuwula ne ekiwi ekia wakawoolwako, aeniki amiire ago omugizi ogwa Kireete gwawanga ni guizuule no okuinyonkoonia.

Wasugaane wawe ne enkola endootu kandi eya owuti ni wawa mu owusiza owua Katonda kandi ni wamenyere owulamu owua Katonda aagala. Owulamu owufwana wutio, wulagana owa Kristo ari geeza okukira amangʼana amangi aga owusa.

Ebaruwa eya Paulo yajojera

FILEMOONI

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Ebaruwa eyagiira Filemooni yajojwa no *Omutumwa Paulo ni yawanga mu owusiwe owua mu enyumba ku omugizi ogwa Rooma omwaka ogwa 60. Ebaruwa eno yajojwa enyinga endala ne ebaruwa eyagiira Awakolosaai, kandi Paulo yatuma Onesimaasi ni Tukiiko okuira ebaruwa zino.

Filemooni yawanga Omukristo omunyazi omenyere ku omugizi ogwa Kolosaai. Onesimaasi yawanga owemirimo waae, ni yamuiwira kandi arumuka agia ale. Ekia yakola kino kiasugaana no okuitwa nikulondokana ne endagirra ezia Awaruumi. Onesimaasi yagia aagana ni Paulo ku omugizi ogwa Rooma kandi aganya ku *Kristo. Kutio, Paulo yamutuma airane ku Filemooni ne ebaruwa eno. Yaiyemba Filemooni mbwe aganye aingizie Onesimaasi kandi mbwe ataaza yamuswawuka, aeniki katio ngakawanga mala owemirimo engʼene, ni yawanga wamwawu waae ku Kristo.

Okuagala okwa Paulo okuneene mu ebaruwa eno, kwawanga okuirania empurizanio agati ya awantu wawiri wano. Akola otio na amangʼana amalootu aga okureeta empurizanio endootu agati yaae ni Filemooni, okumureeta alala no Onesimaasi. Ebaruwa eno elagana mbwe Katonda atoorre awantu woona owuagani. Anunula owemirimo owarumuka mala kiomo yanunula omwene emirimo. Lwona, etulaga mbwe awantu awaweere Awakristo waesa okuirana mu empurizanio namba na awaawanga awazigu waawu kale.

3 Muwe no owusiza no owuolu owuema ku Soifu Katonda, alala no *Omwami Yesu Kristo.

4 Nyiranizia Katonda wange otioo ino enyinga ziona ni nkuingirizia mu okusawa kwange, 5 aeniki mpurra kiomo ori no okuganya ku Omwami Yesu, kandi kiomo ogonziizie awantu awa Katonda woona. 6 Nsawa Katonda mbwe owe omukalangufu mu okulaga awantu okuganya okwa ori nakwo, kugere omanye amangi ku ewintu ewilungi wiona ewia turi nawio ku Kristo. 7 Olugonzi olwa ori nalwo lumiire okumpa ekisangaalo ekinene kandi lumiire okunyambia amaani ino, aeniki iwue omuda, omiire okuomerezia emioyo egia awantu awa Katonda woona.*

Paulo aisasaamra Onesimaasi ku Filemooni

8 Kutio, kukawa mbwe ku Kristo ndi iwaga okukusikirra okukola ekia osugaane okole, 9 ngʼanyiza okukola otio yaaya. Aa okukola otio, nkuiyemba ekintu ekilala, ku olugonzi olwa turi nalwo ku Kristo, inze Paulo — omugaaka kandi nyingeeno omusiwe ku amangʼana aga Kristo Yesu.* 10 Ee, nkuisasaama ku omuzia wange Onesimaasi, owawa omuzia wange ni nyawanga mu owusiwe.* 11 Emberi yawulanga emirimo ku iwue, ni nyingeeno amiire okuwa ne emirimo ku iwue ni inze noona.

12 Mutuma mbwe akuiraneko, iye ori omwoyo gwange ogwa munsi. 13 Nkaagaale mbwe nsonge okuwa nae mu owusiwe ano, kugere atoole iwaga eria iwue omwene okatoorre no ontunzia, ni nsiwirwe ne eminyororo gino ku okulanzia *injiili.** 14 Ni ngʼanyakagala okukola ekintu ekifwana kitio, iwue omwene no otaganyire, yaaya; kugere no owuine omwene mbwe owa omusiza nae, okole otio ku okuagala kwao omwene, ni ngʼani mbwe onigiriziiwue.* 15 Andi yakureka ku amiire amatono ago kugere akuiraneko awe ni iwue amiire goona. 16 Nyingeeno ngari mala omugule engʼene, na ari omulootu okukira omugule ale. Ari wamwifu ku Kristo omugonzi ino, ino-ino ku inze. Ni ku iwue ari ne emirimo namba okukira — ki omugule waao kandi ki wamwifu ku Kristo.*

17 Kutio ni kuri mbwe ontoorre ki owemirimo owa Katonda alala ni iwue, nkusawa mbwe omuingizie kiomo okanyingiizie inze. 18 Ni, ni kirio ekintu-ukintu ekiwiiwi ekia yakukorra, namba ni gurio omusango gwao ogwa ari nagwo, ta ewintu ewio ku inze. 19 Inze Paulo ni inze ojoja itu rino no okukono kwange omwene. Ee, mboola mbwe nyiza okukuoloola, namba ni ndekere okuwoola mbwe iwue owulamu owuyia owua ori nawuo wuri omusango gwange ogwa ori nagwo.†* 20 Wamwifu, noona nyagala mbwe onkorreko ekintu ekilootu, mu okuganya okwa turi nakwo ku Omwami Yesu. Kutio nkorreko ekiiza okuomerezia omwoyo gwange. 21 Omwene manyire owuti owua ompeere, kutio nkujojera, ni manyire mbwe ooza okukola geeza namba okukira kiomo nsawire.

22 Ekintu kindi ekilala ekisigaale ni nkino: Nyagala onyikazizie enyumba eya omugeni, aeniki ndi no okuganya mbwe wuangu ano Katonda aaza okutuusia okusawa okwa mumiire okuwa ni mumusawa mbwe nyirane mbawone.

23 Epafraasi, omusiwe ku amangʼana aga Yesu Kristo omwina wange, akutumiire amakeezio.* 24 Mariiko na Aristakuusi ni Deema alala ni Luuka, awemirimo alala ni inze, woona wakukeeziizie.*

Ebaruwa eya

AWAIBRANIA

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Ebaruwa eya Awaibrania ne endala ku ebaruwa eya omujoji wayo ngamanyiike geeza. Awandi wawoola mbwe Apolo nio owagijoja, na awandi mbwe Baranabaasi. Agati eya emiaka egia 400 kutuuka 600. Lwona wario awandi awaaingirizianga mbwe Paulo nio owajoja ebaruwa eno. Kuwonekana mbwe yajojwa mu omwaka ogwa 70 ne *ekaalu eya Yerusaleemu ekiari okuonwa, aeniki omujoji agamba-gamba ku emisango egia *endagano enkulu egiawanga ni gikolwa mu ekaalu. Omujoji awona mbwe emisango egio giawanga ampi okuwua.

Ebaruwa eno egamba-gamba ku Yesu *Kristo ki omulala oambania Awakristo woona. Yesu alaganiwua ki okirre *enyankoi, Muusa na *Awoozia awanene awa endagano enkulu, aeniki iye nio Omuozia omunene owa kuwuene kandi otuukre, oambania awantu ni Katonda ilala. Kutio, Owukristo wuri kungulu okukira namba ediini eya *Awayaudi, aeniki Kristo yawa omusango omulala ogusugre okukira giona egia awoozia awa Awayaudi waafumia ku emiaka giona. Iye omwene yawa Omuozia kandi aifumia omwene ki igondi, kutio yakola endagano empia na awantu woona ku ekialo aa endagano enkulu yawanga agati ya Katonda na Awayaudi wengʼene. Endagano empia eno yagamba-gambwako na *Awagambi mu Endagano Enkulu mala kiomo omujoji owa ebaruwa eno alagana, na aingizia amangʼana aga Yeremia 33:31–34 mu Awaibrania 8:8–12. Owutuukre, omujoji ajoja ku awantu awatiirwe mu omunayo ogwa Awaisraeli awamanyiike ku okuwa kwawu no okuganya. Kutio, Awakristo woona walagiriziwua okuwarra ku Yesu owa okuganya kwawu kutanikirra, okuemerra mu owutanikro nawuno mu owutuuko.

Kristo ari omukaate okukira enyankoi

1 Mu amiire amakulu agaawita, Katonda yagamba-gamba ni waaguukwa wiifu kangi kandi mu engira enyingi ni kuwitra ku *awagambi waae. 2 Ni mu amiire aga entuuko gano, Katonda amiire okugamba-gamba ni ifwe ni kuwitra ku Omuzia waae, owa yalowola okuteera ewintu wiona mu amakono kandi owa ni kuwitako, yaluka igulu ne ekialo alala ni wiona ewirimo.* 3 Omuzia owa Katonda ono, nio owunene owua Katonda wumurika ni wuemako kandi nie ekilago ekia Katonda ndiki-ndiki. Kandi ni iye oambiriire alala ewintu wiona ewiri ku igulu ni ku ekialo, na amangʼana gaae agari na amaani.

No Omuzia yamala okuesana engira eya awantu wakaoziziwua amawi, yaikala nyakukono okusaaza okwa Katonda Omukaate ku igulu.* 4 Kutio yawa omukaate okukira *enyankoi woona mala kiomo eriina eria yaeewua riona riri ikaate okukira amiina aga enyankoi woona.*

5 Kusi ne enyankoi ki eya Katonda yalagako mbwe,

“Ori Omuzia wange,

reero mbeere Swao”?†

Namba mbwe,

“Nyiza okuwa Swae,

kandi oona aaza okuwa Omuzia wange”?†*

6 Kandi ni Katonda areeta Omuzia waae owa oluweri ku ekialo, yawoola otino,

“Reka enyankoi awa Katonda woona wamuikirre wamusawe.”†*

7 Omwene na agamba-gamba ku enyankoi waae, awoola otino,

“Agera enyankoi waae wawa ki omuyaga

kandi *awatumwa waae wawa ki endimi ezia omurro.”†

8 Ni na agamba-gamba ku Omuzia waae awoola otino,

“Entewe eya owuami wuao, iwue Katonda, eeza okuweerao amiire goona,

kandi ooza okangatra awantu awa mu owuami wuao no owuigolovu.

9 Iwue omiire okugonzia owuigolovu, na amawi oregere,

kutio, inze Katonda waao miire okukuta angulu okukira awiina waao

ku *okukuwaka amavuta aga ekisangaalo.”†

10 Lwona alaga Omuzia waae otino,

“Oo Omwami, mu owutanikro, ni iwue owaomboka owulusa owua ekialo,

kandi igulu riri emirimo egia amakono gaao.

11 Igulu ne ekialo wiiza okuteeka, kandi wiiza okukiriiya ki enguwo,

ni iwue orio amiire goona.

12 Ooza okuwizinga alala ki ekanzu,

kandi wiiza okugaluka ki enguwo.

Ni iwue orio-wuri otio, ngorigaluka,

kandi emiigo giao giwula ne entuuko.”†

13 Ne enyankoi ki owa Katonda yalagako mbwe,

“Ikala nyakukono kwange okusaaza

nawuno ntoole awazigu waao

nte ansi ku amagulu gaao otaze?”†*

14 Kane enyankoi niki? Ngawari mala emioyo egitumrwe okukorra awantu awaaza okutuukra owuinunuzi?*

Engira eya owuinunuzi

1 Kutio paka tutege amatwi ino kandi tuambe amangʼana aga tumiire okuwurra, kugere tutaema mu engira endamu. 2 Aeniki, ni kuri mbwe amangʼana aga *enyankoi yawoola gawanga na amaani kandi awantu woona awaalowa okugalonda nakuwa awaagatambuka waaswawukwa enswawuka esugre nawo.* 3 Katio ifwe tukamizuka tutie ni tutoorre owuinunuzi owukaate wuno wutono? *Omwami Yesu nio owasooka okulanzia ku owuinunuzi wuazane, kandi awantu awaamuwurra woona waatusigikra amangʼana ago mbwe gawanga kuwuene.* 4 Katonda oona yalagana mbwe amangʼana gano gari kuwuene mu okukola ewilago ne ewintu ewiluguulwa, na amankono agagawukane-gawukaane alala ne empanwa ezia *Omwoyo Omweru ezia yaesana nikulondokana no okuagala kwae omwene.*

Yesu nio owa tutuukrako owuinunuzi

5 Katonda ngakata ekialo ekia tugamba-gambako mbwe turinda okuuza, mu owukangasi owua enyankoi yawa. 6 Na ario mu endagano ansi aa omuntu wundi agamba-gambre na awoola otino,

“Kane omuntu ofwa ariki, owa okainyaasia okuingirizia amangʼana gaae,

omuzia owa omuntu aiwuule ariki, owa amangʼana gaae gakakuamba?

7 Waamuisia ansi awa omutono* okukira enyankoi

nikuemao wamu-aa owunene no owuti

8 kandi otoola owukangasi owua ewintu wiona o-aa omuntu ofwa.”†

Ku oku-aa omuntu ofwa owukangasi owua ewintu wiona, okwo kulagana mbwe kiwulao-uwula ekia Katonda yareka na atateere ansi eya owukangasi owua omuntu ofwa. Ni kukawa kutio, nyingeeno ngatuwona ne ewintu wiona wiri ansi eya owukangasi owua omuntu, yaaya.* 9 Ni tuwona ni Yesu, owaisiwua ansi awa omutono okukira enyankoi, na aeerwe owunene no owuti aeniki yafwa olumbe oluwiiwi kugere, ku owusiza owua Katonda, afwire awantu woona.*

10 Kwaweera Katonda, omwene ewintu wiona kandi ogera ewintu wiona ni wiwaao wulootu, mbwe Yesu awone eminyako-nyaako. Yakola otio na agala mbwe Yesu awe omukangasi omutuufu owulako embala, ooza okureeta awaana waae awangi mu owuinunuzi kugere wawe mu owunene owuae.* 11 Kutio tutuukra mbwe awantu awaeruyiwua alala no omuntu owaeruyia, woona wari awantu awa omuntu omulala. Ekio nikio ekigera ni Yesu awula ne ensuuko okuwaeta waamwawu waae.* 12 Omwene yalaga Katonda otino,

“Nyiza okulaga waamwifu eriina riao,

kandi nyiza okuemba enyembo ezia okukutondowola mu okuikumia okwa awakusawa.”†

13 Kandi lwona mbwe,

“Nyiza okuta okuganya kwange ku Katonda.”†

Kandi awoola mbwe,

“Mpano ndi ano, na awaana awa Katonda yampa.”†

14 Kutio aeniki awaana awa Katonda wari awantu awayaluka ne emiwiri na amasaai, Yesu omwene oona yatoola embonekano eya omuwiri ogwa omuntu, kugere ni kuwitra ku olumbe lwae aone amaani aga *Ekikeeno ekiawanga ni kiambiriire amaani aga olumbe* 15 kandi asiwule awantu, awa mu owulamu wuawu wuona, waawanga mu owusiwe owua okutia olumbe, wawe owuyanga. 16 Ni kuwuene mbwe Yesu ngakaaza okutunzia enyankoi, ni na awiizukulu awa Abraamu niwo yaaza okutunzia.* 17 Kino nikio ekiagera ni kuagalana mbwe paka awe ki waamwawu waae mu engira ziona, kugere awaweere *Omuozia omunene ori na amasaasra kandi orindre endagano. Nikuemao aifumie ki omusango† ogutoolao amawi aga awantu.* 18 Aeniki Yesu omwene yainyaasia olwa yageezaniwua, aesa okutunzia awantu awageezaniwua.*

Yesu ari omunene okukira Muusa

1 Kutio waamwifu ku *Kristo awaetiirwe owulamu owua ku igulu, mute amaingirizio giinyu goona ku Yesu, owa ifwe tulaga awantu mbwe ari *omutumwa kandi *Omuozia iifu omunene.* 2 Yarinda amangʼana aga Katonda owamulowola amukorre, mala kiomo Muusa oona yakola mu enyumba eya Katonda.* 3 Kiomo omuntu o-ombooke enyumba aeewua owuti okukira enyumba eya aombooke, nintio lwona Yesu asugre okueewua owuti okukira Muusa. 4 Aeniki enyumba ki enyumba eombookwe no omuntu, ni Katonda nio omuomboki owa ewintu wiona.

5 Muusa yarinda amangʼana aga Katonda ki *omukurumu mu enyumba eya Katonda yoona, kandi okwo kwalaga awantu ekia Katonda yaazanga okuwoola mu amiire aga emberi. 6 Ni Kristo iye arindre amangʼana aga Katonda ki Omuzia okangatiire enyumba eya Katonda. Kandi ifwe ni ifwe enyumba yaae, ni tuandre ku owusiani wuifu no okurindirra okwa tuitumburra nawuno mu owutuuko.*

Okuingira mu okuwuluuka okwa Katonda aaza oku-aa awantu waae

7 Kuri mala kiomo Katonda awoola mu endagano ni kuwita ku *Omwoyo Omweru mbwe,

“Reero, ni muwuriire omwoyo ogwange,

8 mutagera emioyo giinyu giwe emikalu

kiomo Awaisraeli waakola

mu amiire aga okugeezaniwua ni waawanga mu ekeewa,*

9 aa waaguukwa wiinyu wangeezaania

kandi ku emiaka amakumi ane waawona ewintu ewia nyakola.

10 Ekio nikio ekiagera no okusu kwampamba ni ikula erio

kandi nyawoola mbwe, ‘Emioyo egia awantu wano gireka engira enyinga ziona

kandi wakiari okumanya engira ziange.’*

11 Kutio nyaifuuwa ni ndi no okusu otino,

‘Ngawari-ingira mu okuwuluuka kwange, yaaya!’ ”†*

12 Inywe waamwifu, muwone mbwe awulao-uwula omulala ku inywe ori no omwoyo ogurimo owuoni, ogutari no okuganya kandi ogugaluka ni gureka Katonda. 13 No omuntu ki omuntu a-ambie omwina waae amaani owuire ki owuire, iwaga erietwa mbwe “Reero” ni rikiario, kugere awuleo omuntu owa ensemerezanio eya owuoni eere omwoyo omukalu ngʼa. 14 Aeniki ni turindre endagano paka mu owutuuko kandi ni tuteere emioyo giifu ku Katonda wukalu kiomo twakola olwa twawa no okuganya kuluweri, ni tuuza okutuukra omugawo gwifu ku ewintu ewia Kristo wiona. 15 Kuri mala kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe,

“Reero, ni muwuriire omwoyo gwae,

mutagera emioyo giinyu giwe emikalu

kiomo giawanga mu amiire aga awantu waalowa Katonda.”†

16 Awaalowa Katonda ni waawu anu? Ngawawanga awantu awa Muusa yakangatra na awafumia Misiri? 17 Awa-ambia Katonda okusu ku emiaka amakumi ane ni waawu anu? Ngawawanga awantu awaakola owuoni, awaafwa mala emiwiri giawu gisigala mu ekeewa?* 18 Na awa Katonda yaifuuwa mbwe ngawari-ingira mu okuwuluuka kwae ni waawu anu? Ngawawanga awantu awaatambuka amangʼana gaae? 19 Kutio tuwona mbwe awantu awo ngawakaesanga okuingira mu okuwuluuka okwae ku okutaganya kwawu.

Okuwuluuka okwa awantu owa Katonda

1 Kutio, aeniki okuifuuwa okwa Katonda mbwe iwaga eria okuingira mu okuwuluuka kwae rikiario, mutukole wukalu tuwone mbwe awulao omuntu ku inywe orituukrwa na akeeyire okuingira. 2 Aeniki mala kiomo ifwe twona twamiire okuwurra amangʼana amalootu ku okuwuluuka okwa Katonda aga tumiire okulanziziwua kuno, nintio woona waagawurra owufwanani. Kukawa kutio, amangʼana gano ngagakawatunzia aeniki waalowa okuganya nago.* 3 Ni ifwe awamiire okuwa no okuganya no omwoyo omulala, tuingira mu okuwuluuka kwae, mala kiomo Katonda amiire okuwoola otino,

“Nyaifuuwa ni ndi no okusu otino,

‘Ngawari-ingira mu okuwuluuka kwange!’ ”†

Yalowa otio kukawa mbwe yamala okulongra awantu waae ansi aa okuwuluuka kale olwa yaluka ekialo. 4 Aeniki ario ansi andi mu endagano aa agamba-gamba ku owuire owua musamvu na awoola otino “Katonda yamala emirimo, kutio owuire owua musamvu yawuluuka ku emirimo giae giona.”† 5 Kandi anyuma ao lwona tuwona ni Katonda awoola mbwe, “Ngawari-ingira ansi ange aa okuwuluuka.” 6 Amangʼana ago gakiari mala otio mbwe awantu wandi wari-ingira ansi aa okuwuluuka kandi awantu awaasooka okuwurra amangʼana aga Katonda ngawakaingira ansi aa okuwuluuka ao aeniki waalowa oku-aa Katonda owuti. 7 Kutio Katonda kandi yataao owuire wundi owuetwa mbwe, “Reero,” lunyima na amiire amangi gamiire okuwita yagamba-gamba ni kuwitra ku Daudi mala kiomo yawanga na amiire okuwoola mbwe,

“Reero ni muwuriire omwoyo ogwae,

mutagera emioyo giinyu giwe emikalu!”†

8 Aeniki kuweeko mbwe Yoswa yawa-aa okuwuluuka, kangato Katonda ngakagamba-gambre kandi lunyima ku owuire wundi owua okuwuluuka.* 9 Kutio *Sabato eya okuwuluuka, ekiario-wuri ku awantu awa Katonda, 10 aeniki omuntu-umuntu oingira mu okuwuluuka okwa Katonda, awuluuka ku emirimo giae mala kiomo Katonda oona yawuluuka ku emirimo giae. 11 Kutio mutukole wukalu kiomo kuesekana, tuwone mbwe tuingiire mu okuwuluuka kwae, kugere omuntu ataaza yalonda omufwano ogwa awantu awaareka okukola okuagala okwa Katonda, mala agwe na ataingiire.

12 Aeniki amangʼana aga Katonda malamu kandi gakola emirimo. Gari amoogi okukira omwambe ogwa olugangala oluri ne eminwa iwiri. Gaowola gaingira munsi nawuno gaagawula owulamu no omwoyo, amaseseemo no owunyunguuri kandi gateera omuntu ekiina ku ewintu ewia aingirizia alala no okuagala okwa mu omwoyo.* 13 Kiwulao-uwula ekintu ku ewintu ewia Katonda yaluka ekiiwisre mu amiiso aga Katonda.

1 Omukangasi omunene owa *awoozia ki Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia alowolwa agati ya awantu. Emirimo giae giri okuwaimerra ku amangʼana aga-ambaane ni Katonda, okufumizia Katonda ewintu ewia awantu wafumiizie, alala no okukola emisango, ku owuoni owua awantu wakorre. 2 Awa na amasaasra na awantu awawula no okumanya na awarekere engira endamu, aeniki iye oona ari no owugata mala kiomo awantu awa aindengʼera awo.* 3 Ekio nikio ekigera ni kumunigirizia mbwe paka afumie omusango ku owuoni wuae omwene, alala no owuoni owua awantu.* 4 Awulao omuntu ooza yawa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia mala ku okuagala mbwe atuukre owunene owuo, yaaya. Ni paka aetwe ni Katonda okukola emirimo egia owuozia mala kiomo Aruuni yaetwa.*

5 *Kristo oona ngakaitwika owunene owua okuwa Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia. Ni, ni Katonda nio owamulaga mbwe,

6 Kandi ansi andi yoona Katonda yawoola otino,

“Iwue ori omuozia amiire goona,

7 Mu amiire aga Yesu yawanga ku ekialo kuno, yasawanga kandi yaisasaama Katonda, owaesanga okumununula mu olumbe, no omwoyo ogwa kungulu amaziga ni gamuyooka. Kandi okusawa kwae kwatuuka aeniki yasawanga Katonda no owuti owungi.* 8 Kukawa mbwe Yesu yawanga Omuzia owa Katonda otio, ni yaigerera okuwa omuntu ori no owuti ni kuwitra ku eminyako-nyaako egia yawitamo* 9 kandi olwa yamala okuteewua awa omuntu osugre owulako embala, yairana awa omuntu owa awantu awamuere owuti woona watuukrako owuinunuzi owuira awantu mu owulamu owutariwua.* 10 Kandi Katonda yawoola mbwe Yesu nio Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia mu engira efwana ne eya Melkizedeeki.*

Okusiagiziwua ku okureka okuwa no okuganya ku Kristo

11 Turi na amangʼana amangi aga tuesa okuwalaga ku amangʼana gano, ni ngakuri kunyoowu okugawoola goona gawaingirre aeniki okuigerera kwinyu kugia mpola. 12 Kuwuene, kukawa mbwe nyingeeno mwona kusugaane kuwe mbwe muri awagerezi, ni mukia-agala okugererwa owuyia, engerera enyoowu ezitanikwa nazio mu okumanya amangʼana aga Katonda. Mukia-agala okunywa mala amaweere ki awaana awakiari awangʼengʼe, ni ngʼano okuria okukalu yaaya! 13 Omuntu-umuntu okiamenyere ku okunywa mala amaweere, iye akiari omwana muto kandi kiwulao ekia amanyire ku igerera eriri ku owuigolovu.* 14 No okuria okukalu, no okwa awantu awamiire okuwa awantu wakulu, awa ku okunala no okuria okuria okwo, wamiire okuigerera aweene okugawula ewintu ewilootu ne ewiwiiwi.*

1 Kutio muturekane ne engerera enyoowu ezia awantu awa nikwo watanika okumanya amangʼana aga *Kristo, tugie emberi nawuno tutuuke mu okuwa awantu awakomere mu amangʼana aga Katonda. Ngatusugaane tutanike no okuinuula kandi engerera kiomo okugaluka okureka enkola eziira awantu mu olumbe,* okuwa no okuganya ku Katonda, 2 ewilagirizio ku *owubatiiso, okuta amakono ku awantu, okuziuka okwa awafu alala ne ekiina ekituukre ekia awantu waaza okukengerwa. 3 Ni, ni Katonda aezaanie iwaga, tuuza okukola otio.

4 Awantu awamiire okuwona owueru kandi awamiire okugusa owulootu owuema ku igulu, namba awamiire okutuukra *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda 5 kandi awamiire okugusa owulootu owua amangʼana aga Katonda na amaani aga Katonda aaza okulagana mu amiire aga owutuuko 6 ngakuesekana okuwairania mu okugaluka okuema mu amawi, ni waizukre wairane enyima. Ni kutio aeniki okulaga okwa walagre Kristo omugongo okwo, kufwanana no okuirania Omuzia owa Katonda ku *omusalaaba kawiri, kandi okumusuusia emberi wa awantu.*

7 Ilowa erinywa amanzi ne emvula ekuba nawuno rialawia emere etunzia awarimi awagirimire, nirio erituukra ensereki eema ku Katonda. 8 Ni ilowa eriamia amawua gengʼene riwula ne emirimo kandi riri ampi okufuuwua. Owutuukre riiza okusambwa no omurro.*

9 Awiiko wange, kukawa mbwe tugamba-gamba otino, ni turi no owusiani mbwe inywe muri no owukire ku ewintu wino kandi mbwe mukola ewintu ewilootu ewia owuinunuzi wureeta. 10 Kuwuene Katonda mulootu, ngarilawira emirimo giinyu egia mumiire okuwa ni mukola alala no olugonzi olwa mumiire okulagana ku iye ni mutunzia awantu waae kandi aweene mukiagia-wugia emberi ni muwatunzia.* 11 Tuagala mbwe omuntu ki omuntu ku inywe akole olutuunyo mu okulagana olugonzi otio nawuno mu owutuuko, nikwo mumanye kuwuene mbwe muuza okutuukra ekia muteereko emioyo giinyu. 12 Ngatuagala mbwe muwe awantu awagata yaaya, ni tuagala muwe awantu awalonda olunyaafwa olwa awantu awatuukra ekia Katonda yawaifuuwa kuwa-aa, ku okuganya no okuiyorezia kwawu.*

Katonda atuusia okuifuuwa kwae

13 Olwa Katonda yaifuuwira Abraamu, yaifuuwa ne eriina riae iye omwene, aeniki awulao-uwula owundi chee ori omunene okumukira owa yaesanga okuifuuwa ne eriina riae. Yamuifuuwira 14 na awoola otino, “Kuwuene nyiza okukusereka kandi nyiza okuku-aa awiizukulu awangi ki omusenye!”† 15 Kandi kutio olwa Abraamu yamala okurindirra no owuoreevu, Katonda yamu-aa ewia yamuifuuwira. 16 Awantu ni waifuuwa, awaifuuwa ne eriina eria omuntu omunene okuwakira. Okuifuuwa ne ekintu kusimbiizia okuganyana okurio agati ya awantu kandi kumalao entaka ziona agati yaawu. 17 Kino nikio ekiagera ni Katonda aisimbiizia okutagaluka okwa omupango gwae, ku awantu awaazanga okutuukra ewintu ewia yaifuuwa okuwa-aa, no okuifuuwa ne eriina riae. 18 Katonda amiire okuifuuwa okutu-aa ewintu ewilootu kandi amiire okuifuuwa ne eriina riae omwene. Ewintu wiwiri wino ngawigaluka aeniki Katonda ngawoola owuweeyi yaaya.

Kutio ifwe awamiire okumurumukako kugere tutuukre owuiwiso, turi no owusiani ino kandi tuandre ku okukurindrra okutuukra ewintu ewilootu emberi, ni tuteereko emioyo wukalu.* 19 Okurindirra okwa turi nakwo kuno okufwana ne ekikongo ekiambiriire omwoyo geeza wukalu. Kuingira munsi kwawita epasia eya mu eema eya okusawa Katonda nawuno kwatuuka Asi Aeeru Owutuukre,* 20 omwa Yesu yatusookra ki omuimerezi iifu. Yamiire okuwa Omukangasi omunene owa *awoozia owa amiire goona agawula ne entuuko mala kiomo Melkizedeeki.*

Yesu akirre omuozia Melkizedeeki

1 Melkizedeeki ono yawanga omwami owa ekialo ekia Saleemu, lwona yawanga *omuozia owa Katonda ori kungulu okukira. Ya-agaana ni Abraamu na yairananga na aema mu okulwana na awaami awayakira mu iye mala amusereka. 2 Nikuemao Abraamu yamu-aa *endala ku ikumi ku ewintu wiona ewia yawanga nawio.

Eriina Melkizedeeki rilagana “omwami owa owuigolovu” ne eriina Saleemu rilagana “owuolu” kutio okuetwa “omwami owa Saleemu” kulagana “omwami owa owuolu.” 3 Yawulanga ni swae, ngʼina, namba owuiwulane wuae. Yawulanga owutaniko namba owutuuko, kandi ari omuozia amiire goona mala ki Omuzia owa Katonda.†

4 Ni kuri mbwe Abraamu nio owamu-aa endala ku ikumi ku ewintu ewia yanyaga awazigu mu iye, oingirizia mbwe yawanga omuntu omunene ofwana otie?* 5 *Ensikirra ezia Muusa zigerera mbwe awiizukulu awa Abraamu wasugaane wafumie endala ku ikumi okuema ku ewintu wiawu wiona. Ewintu wino wisugaane wieewue awada waawu awari awoozia kandi awiizikulu awa Laawi.* 6 Melkizedeeki ono iye ngakaemanga mu owuiwulane owua *Awalaawi, ni kukawa kutio yatoola endala ku ikumi ku Abraamu, kandi asereka omuntu owa Katonda yaifuuwa oku-aa ewintu ewilootu emberi. 7 Kandi ne ekintu ekia awantu woona wamanyire mbwe omuntu omunene nio osereka omuntu owa akirre.

8 Awoozia awatoola endala ku ikumi wari mala awantu awafwa, kutio Melkizedeeki ari omukaate okuwakira aeniki iye ario omulamu mala kiomo endagano ewoola. 9 Omuntu aaza yawoola mbwe Laawi, otoola endala ku ikumi ku awantu ono, oona yafumizia Melkizedeeki endala ku ikumi ni kuwitra ku Abraamu, 10 aeniki olwa Melkizedeeki yaagana na Abraamu, Laawi yawanga na akiari mu amasaai aga guukwa waae Abraamu.

11 Ni kuri mbwe owuozia owua Laawi, owua ensikirra eya Muusa yaiombokako, wuaesanga okugera omuntu na awa omutuufu owulako embala, ao otio ekiageranga ni Katonda ataao omuozia wundi kandi oema mu owuiwulane owua Melkizedeeki owutari owua Aruuni niki katio? 12 Ni kutio aeniki kunigirizia mbwe no omuozia agalusiiwue, ensikirra yoona paka egaluke.

13 Omuozia ori Omwami iifu ogamba-gambwako ano, iye aema mu oluganda lundi olusaasa olutari olwa awoozia yaaya, kandi owulao namba omulala mu oluganda olwo omiire okuwaako omuozia oimerra ku *isiga eria okukola omusango. 14 Ne ekintu ekimanyikaane geeza mbwe Omwami iifu yaemera mu oluganda olwa Yuuda, kandi kiwulaooko ekintu ekia Muusa yawoola ku oluganda olwo ekigia ku emirimo egia owuozia, yaaya.*

15 Kandi amangʼana agatuwoorre gano gawurikana geeza no omuozia wundi ofwanana ni Melkizedeeki alowoolwe okuwa omuozia. 16 Ee, omuntu olowoolwe okuwa omuozia ni nikulondokana no okuwa kwae na amaani aga okuwa no owulamu owutariwua, ni ngʼani ku oluganda olwa aemamo, yaaya. 17 Endagano emugamba-gambako ne ewoola etino,

“Ori omuozia amiire goona,

mala kiomo Melkizedeeki.”†*

18 Tuwona mbwe ekia ensikirra enkulu eya Muusa ewoola ku owuozia kiteerwe antulo, aeniki yawulanga amaani kandi yawulanga ne emirimo.* 19 Ni kutio aeniki ensikirra ngeesa okugera omuntu yawa omutuufu owulako embala. Ni nyingeeno turi ne engira endootu okukira, etuiira a-ampi ni Katonda, eya tuteereko omwoyo.*

20-21 Katonda omwene yaifuuwa olwa omuozia ono yalowolwanga. Ni ngakaifuuwa na awoozia wandi waalowolwanga, yaaya. Yaifuuwa na amulaga otino,

“Omwami amiire okuifuuwa

kandi ngaaza okugalusia amaingirizio gaae,

ori omuozia amiire goona!”†

22 Ku okuifuuwa okwa Katonda yamuifuuwira kuno, Yesu nio owusiani wuifu mu okukola *endagano endootu okukira ziona ni Katonda.*

23 Awoozia awamiire okuwaao wari awangi, aeniki olumbe lumiire okugera ni wareka emirimo giawu. 24 Ni Yesu iye ario omulamu amiire goona, kutio owuozia wuae wuwula ne entuuko. 25 Kutio ari na amaani aga okununula awantu awaaza ku Katonda ni wamuwitako, reero kandi amiire goona, aeniki ari omulamu amiire goona okuwaisasaamra Katonda.*

26 Yesu nio Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia oesa okutuusia okuagala kwifu aeniki ari omweru owulako embala kandi aigoloole tiiri. Amenyere owulamu owuitengeeke kandi agingiriziiwue kungulu okukira igulu.* 27 Agawukaane na Awakangasi awanene awa awoozia wandi woona, aeniki iye ngakumunigirizia mbwe akole emisango owuire ki owuire yaaya. Ee emisango egia awoozia wandi wasooka waikorra ku amawi gaawu aweene, nikwo waafumia egia okutoolao amawi aga awantu wandi. Iye yafumia omusango ogutoolao amawi aga awantu woona olwa yafumia owulamu wuae lulala olutasongwako olundi.* 28 Ni kutio aeniki ensikirra eya Muusa etulagirizia ku awoozia awari no owunyowu-nyoowu. No okuifuuwa okwa Katonda okwaza lunyima ne ensikirra emiire okuuza, kutulagirizia ku Omuzia owa Katonda ori omutuufu owulako embala amiire goona.*

1 Ekineene ekikirre ku ewia tuwoola, ni mbwe nyingeeno katio, turi no Omukangasi omunene owa *awoozia owaikala ansi nyakukono okusaaza okwa entewe eya owuami eya Katonda Omukaate ku igulu.* 2 Ao nio akorra emirimo egia owuozia mu eema eya okusawa eri kuwuene, etaombookwe no okukono okwa omuntu yaaya, ni no *Omwami Katonda omwene.

3 Omukangasi omunene ki Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia aloworrwa emirimo egia okufumia empanwa alala ne emisango, kutio kwanigirizia mbwe ono oona awe ne ekintu ekia akafumia. 4 Kuweeko mbwe ari ku ekialo kuno, ngakaweere omuozia aeniki awantu awafumia empanwa ezigamba-gambwako mu endagano, wario. 5 Iwo wakola emirimo mu eema eri omufwano kandi ekiiruuzia ekia eema eri kuwuene eri ku igulu. Ekio nikio ekigera ni Muusa yasiagiziwua ni yaagalanga okuomboka eema eyo mbwe, “Paka owone mbwe o-ombooke ewintu wiona ewiwa mu eeme eyo, mu engira eya walagwa mu ekigiri!”†* 6 Ne emirimo egia Yesu aazre okukola giri na amaani okukira egiawu, mala kiomo empurizanio eya aazre okureeta agati ya Katonda na awantu eri na amaani okukira enkulu, kandi eisimbiire ku okuifuuwa okulootu okukira.*

7 Kuweeko mbwe *endagano eyasooka yasuga mu engira ziona aa nekakeeya mu engira-ungira, lwona kirio ekikagerre ne eindi empia ewaao kandi? 8 Ni Katonda yatuukra awantu awayakola nawo endagano eyo ni wakeeyire: ekintu ekiagera na awoola otino,*

“Mbalaga mbwe enyinga ziiza,

9 Endagano eene neeza okufwanana ne

10 Ndaga ekiriango ekia Israeli mbwe endagano eya nyiza okukola nawo ngino:

Nyiza okuta *ensikirra ziange mu amaingirizio gaawu

13 Omwami na aeta endagano eno mbwe eri ‘empia,’ agera endagano eyasooka ne ewa ewula ne emirimo, kandi ekintu ekikulu-kulu ekia amiire gago gaawita, kiiza okuwua nawuno kiteeke no okuteeka.

Okusawa mu eema eya ku ekialo

1 Katio tutuukra mbwe *endagano eyasooka yaaza ne endagirra ezialaganga awantu engira ezia okusawa Katonda, alala ne eema omwa awantu wasawira Katonda ku ekialo kuno. 2 Eema eyo yawanga ne ewiyumba wiwiri. Mu akayumba akasookere akaaetwanga mbwe Asi Aeeru, nimwo omwa ekintu ekia ekimuri kiateewuangako, ne emeesa alala ne emikaati emieru ziawanga ni ziteewua.*

3 No otambuka epasia eya okuwiri no oingira munsi, otuuka mu akayumba aka okuwiri akaaetwanga mbwe Asi Aeeru Owutuukre.* 4 Munsi omwo, ziawangamo emeesa eya okusamba *owubaani eombookwe ne edhaabu, alala ne esanduuki eya endagano esanikiirwe ne edhaabu kungulu yayo yoona. Ewintu ewiawanga mu esanduuki eya endagano eyo, wiawanga ekimuga ekilongerwe ne edhaabu ekiateewuamo *maana, ensimbo eya Aruuni eyasewuka, alala na amawaale aga *ensikirra ikumi ezia endagano ziajojwako.* 5 Kungulu ku esanduuki eyo, nio aetwa mbwe entewe eya amagongi, aa ziawangao endukwa iwiri ezietwa mbwe *kiruubi eziri no owunene eziyanzuule embaya yazio zigisanikira. Ni nyingeeno ngatuesa okunawula ewintu wino kilala-lala twawimala, yaaya.*

6 Ewintu wiona ni wiawanga ni wimiire okuteewua mu engira eno, *awoozia waingiranga mu akayumba akatono aka enze kano owuire ki owuire, okukola emirimo giawu.* 7 No Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia engʼene nio owawanga na aganyiirwe okuingira munsi mu akayumba aka munsi, kandi mala kalala kengʼene ku omwaka. Ngakaesanga okuingira omwo na awula na amasaai aga okufumizizia Katonda ku owuoni wuae omwene, no owuoni owua awantu awaawanga ni wakorre ni watamanyire.*

8 Ni gano goona, *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yalagananga mbwe engira eya okugia Asi Aeeru Owutuukre yawanga ne ekiari okuigurrwao awantu, eema eyasooka eyo ni yawanga ne ekiario. 9 Kino ne ekilago ku amiire agaturimo nyingeeno gano mbwe empanwa ne emisango egia awoozia wafumizizia Katonda, ngawiesa *okueruyia emioyo egia awantu awasawa Katonda, yaaya.* 10 Ezio ziri mala endagirra eziambaane na amangʼana aga ewiokuria ne ewintu ewinywewua, alala ne emigomo egia okuieruyia na amanzi. Endagirra ezigamba-gamba ku ewintu ewiwonwa wino, ziri mala ne emirimo nawuno engira empia eri endootu okukira, eeze.*

Amasaai aga Kristo

11 Olwa *Kristo yaaza ki Omukangasi omunene owa awoozia owa ewintu ewilootu ewiri ano nyingeeno,* yaingira mu eema enene kandi endongoole okukira ziona, ku igulu. Eema eno nekaombokwa no omuntu yaaya, kandi nekawanga endala ku ewintu ewialukwa ku ekialo kuno.* 12 Yagia munsi aingira Asi Aeeru Owutuukre ao kalala, aa ataaza okuiranao olwa okuwiri kandi yaaya. Ngakaingira na amasaai aga embuzi na aga ewimoori, ni na amasaai gaae iye omwene, mala areeta owuinunuzi owutariwua.*

13 Ensikirra eya Muusa ewoola mbwe, amasaai aga embuzi na aga amaiiri alala ni igoke eriemere ku emoori embuuka esambrwe, ni wiminzrwe ku awantu awatari aweeru, wiwaeruyia ku owumwamu wuawu.* 14 Katio oingirizia mbwe amasaai aga Kristo, owa ni kuwitra ku Omwoyo Omweru orio amiire goona, yaifumizia Katonda ki omusango omweru oguwulako embala, gaaza okueruyia amaingirizio giifu owungi owuagana wutie† mu enkola eziira awantu mu olumbe, kugere tusawe Katonda omulamu?*

15 Okufwa okwa Kristo okwo nikwo okugera na awa omuntu oreeta endagano empia agati ya awantu ni Katonda, kugere awantu awa Katonda yaeta watuukre ensereki etariwua eya Katonda yaifuuwa okuwa-aa. Ni kutio aeniki Kristo yafwa kugere asiwule awantu mu okuswawukwa ku amawi aga waakola ansi ya endagano enkulu.* 16 No omuntu ajojere itu erilagana awantu awa omwene aagala mbwe waaze warie omwandu gwae, kunigirizia mbwe ni wakiari okugutoola wagurie, paka kulaganiwue geeza mbwe omuntu wazane amiire okufwa, awulao. 17 Ni kutio aeniki amangʼana agajojrwe mu itu ki erio, gaesa okutuusiwua mala no omuntu owagajoja afwire. 18 Kino nikio ekigera ne endagano enkulu ngekaesanga okukola emirimo na amasaai gatafukrwe ansi. 19 Olwa Muusa yamala okulaga awantu woona ensikirra ezia Katonda ziona, yatoola amasaai aga ewimoori na aga embuzi, alala na amanzi. Nikuemao, yakola na amatu aga omuti oguetwa mbwe aisoopu no owuvwiri owuakanyu owua amagondi, okugaminza ku itu eria endagano eya Katonda erizingrwe, alala ni ku awantu awaawangao woona. 20 Muusa yawalaga otino, “Gano na amasaai agasiwrania endagano eya Katonda akorre ni inywe, kandi eya awasikiriire mbwe murinde.”† 21 Mu engira efwanani, Muusa yaminza amasaai ku eema† alala ne ewintu wiona ewia Awaisraeli waakolanga nawio mu okusawa Katonda. 22 Kuwuene ensikirra eagala mbwe ampi ewintu wiona wieruyiwue na amasaai, kandi amasaai ni gatafukrwe ki omusango, awantu ngawaesa okurekerwa amawi gaawu, yaaya.*

Kristo yafumia omusango omulootu okukira

23 Ekio nikio ekigera ni kwanigirizia mbwe eema eya awantu waasawangamo ku ekialo kuno alala ne ewintu wiona ewiawangamo, ewiawanga emifwano egia ewintu ewiri ku igulu, wieruziwue na amasaai aga emiandu. Ne ewintu ewiri ku igulu ewiene, iwio wiagalanga okueruziwua ne emisango emilootu okukira amasaai aga emiandu.* 24 Kristo ngakaingira mu eema eombookwe na amakono aga omuntu, eyawanga mala omufwano ogwa eema eya kuwuene eri ku igulu. Ni iye yaingira ku igulu mala aidengʼa emberi wa Katonda ku iwaga riifu.

25 Lwona ngakaingira ku igulu okugia okuifumia ki omusango kangi kiomo awakangasi awa awoozia waaingiranga Asi Aeeru Owutuukre omwaka ki omwaka na amasaai agatari agaawu iwo aweene, yaaya. 26 Aweeko ki wandi awo, Kristo akainyasiizie kangi ino okuemera mu okulukwa okwa ekialo. Ni aa okukola otio, mu amiire aga entuuko gano, yaifumia kalala kengʼene okutateewuako okundi, okutuweera omusango ogutoolao amawi giifu goona, ku okufwa okwa yatufwira.*

27 Mala kiomo kwateewua mbwe omuntu afwa olulala, nikuemao agia mu ekiina. 28 Nintio lwona Kristo yafwa olulala lwengʼene ki omusango ogutoolao amawi aga awantu awangi. Aaza okuirana kandi, ni ngʼano okuuza okutoola amawi giifu kandi kawiri, yaaya. Ni aaza okureetra awantu awamurinda owuinunuzi.*

Omusango ogwa Yesu yafumia kalala kandi owutuukre

1 *Ensikirra eya Muusa yawanga mala ekiiruuzia ekia ewintu ewilootu ewiazanga emberi, ni ngʼane ewintu ewiene yaaya. Kino nikio ekigera ni ngekaesanga *okueruyia awantu awasawa nawuno wawe awatuufu awawulako embala, ni kuwita ku emisango egiakolwanga omwaka ki omwaka egiwula ne entuuko gino.* 2 Kuweeko mbwe emisango egio giaesanga okueruyia awantu, kangato okugifumia kukaemereziiwue. Ni kutio aeniki awantu awasawa Katonda wakaeeruuye kalala kandi owutuukre; kandi wuwulao owuoni owukawanyaasiizie mu emioyo giawu kandi, yaaya. 3 Ne emisango egiakolwanga omwaka ki omwaka gino, giaizurizianga mala awantu mbwe wari awooni* 4 aeniki okutoolao amawi na amasaai aga amaiiri na aga embuzi, ne ekintu ekikalu ekitaesekana.

5 Kino nikio ekiagera *Kristo olwa yaaza ku ekialo, na alaga Katonda otino,

“Emisango egia emiandu ne egia emere

6 Iwue ngokaomererwa yawa

7 Nikuemao nyawoola otino,

“Mpano ndi ano,

Ee, mala kiomo endagano ewoola ku inze.”†

8 Owusookere yawoola mbwe, “Ngokagala emisango egia amasaai aga emiandu, emere, emiandu egisambwa emiwiri giona ku *isiga eria okufumia omusango, ne egindi egia awantu wafumia ku amawi gaawu, kandi ngokasangaala nagio yaaya” (kukawa mbwe ensikirra yagalanga mbwe emisango gino gikolwe). 9 Yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Mpano ndi ano, miire okuuza okukola okuagala kwao.” Kuno kulagana mbwe yaonanga *endagano enkulu kugere ateeo eindi empia. 10 Ekia Katonda aagala ni mbwe, ku omusango ogwa Yesu Kristo yatufumizia kalala kandi owutuukre, tukolwe awantu aweeru awatengeekrwe Katonda.*

11 Endagano enkulu yagalanga mbwe *omuozia awe na aidengʼa emberi wa isiga eria okufumia omusango owuire ki owuire, na afumia emisango egitaesa okutoolao amawi.* 12 No Omuozia iifu omunene, iye yaifumia ku Katonda ki omusango omulala omulootu ogutoolao amawi aga awantu, amiire goona. Ni yamala okukola otio, yaikala ansi nyakukono okusaaza okwa Katonda Omukaate ku igulu.* 13 Ao nio arindirra nawuno awazigu waae woona wateewue ansi ya amagulu gaae awataze,* 14 aeniki no omusango omulala ogwa yakola guno, amiire okugera awantu awaeruyiwua ku amawi, okuwa awatuufu awawulako embala amiire goona.

15 *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda yoona asigika amangʼana gano ku ifwe mbwe gari kuwuene. Owusookere awoola ekia Omwami yawoola mbwe,

16 “Eno nio endagano eya nyiza okuta agati yange nawo,

17 Agia emberi na awoola otino,

“Ngʼanyiza kandi okuingirizia

18 Na awantu wamiire okurekerwa owuoni wuawu, omusango ogwa okutoolao amawi katio ngaguagalana kandi.

Okuambiwua amaani no okusiagiziwua

19 Kutio waamwifu, ku amasaai aga Yesu, nyingeeno tuesa okuingira Asi Aeeru Owutuukre ni turi no owusiani.* 20 Eno nie engira empia ereeta owulamu eya tuiguriirweo ewita ku epasia eri omuwiri ogwa Yesu omwene.*

21 Kandi aeniki turi no Omuozia omunene okangatiire enyumba eya Katonda,* 22 mutugie ampi ni Katonda no omwoyo oguwulamo okuisemerezia, ni turi no owusiani owuema mu okuwa no okuganya. Aeniki emioyo giifu egia munsi egiawanga ni gimwamre, gimiire okuminzwako amasaai aga Kristo okutueruyia kandi emiwiri giifu giona gioziwua na amanzi ameeru.* 23 Kutio mutuambe okurindirra okwa tuwoola mbwe turi nakwo wukalu, aeniki Katonda aesa okuteewuako omwoyo okutuusia okuifuuwa kwae.* 24 Mutuwone kiomo tuesa okuikalangusiana omuntu no omwina waae mu okuwa no olugonzi ne enkola endootu.* 25 Tutaaza twareka okugia mu okuikumia na awiina wiifu kiomo awandi wamiire okureka. Ni mutukalangusanie omuntu no omwina waae, ino-ino nyingeeno kiomo muwona owuire owua okuirana okwa Omwami ni wuri ampi.*

26 Ni tugiire emberi ni tukola-ukola owuoni, eno ni tumiire okumanya owuene, guwulao-uwula omusango gundi kandi ogukiasigaale oguesa okusanikira amawi giifu ago. 27 Ekisigaale katio ni mala okuambwa no owuti owungi ni turinda okukengerwa ekiina ekiwiiwi ekia okusambwa no omurro omuyu le, oguuza okusamba awazigu awa Katonda.* 28 Omuntu-umuntu owatambuka ensikirra eya Muusa, yaesanga okukengerwa ekiina ekia olumbe na ata-ambiirwe amasaasra namba wutono, ku amangʼana aga awawoni wawiri namba wasatu wengʼene.* 29 Ni katio oingirizia mbwe awantu awataza-taza eriina eria Omuzia owa Katonda na amagulu kandi awatoorre wutono amasaai gaae aga endagano ki agatari ameeru, iwo Katonda ariwaswawuka no okusu owululu owufwana wutie? Awantu ki awo wanyega Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, oreetra awantu awa Katonda amasaasra.** 30 Aeniki tumanyire Katonda owawoola mbwe, “Okuswawuka awantu giri emirimo giange. Nyiza okuoloola omuntu ki omuntu owuagani ne enkola ezia yakola,”† kandi lwona mbwe, “Omwami aaza okukengera awantu waae ekiina.”† 31 Ne ekintu ekitiisia, omuntu okugwa mu amakono aga Katonda omulamu!

32 Mutaaza mwalawira amiire aga mwasooka okutuukramo owueru, kiomo mwaimerra wukalu mu okuganya namba ni mwawitanga mu eminyako-nyaako eminene. 33 Amiire gandi mwanyegwa kandi mwakorrwa uwiiwi emberi wa awantu, na amiire gandi mwatunzia awantu wandi awa eminyako-nyaako egifwana gitio gia-amba. 34 Mwa-ambra awantu awaawanga mu owusiwe amagongi kandi mwaganya okunyagulwa ewintu wiinyu ni muri ne emioyo emisangaavu, aeniki mwawanga ni mumanyire mbwe inywe aweene muri ne ewintu ewilootu okukira, ewitariwua.*

35 Kutio mutaaza mwarigiza owusiani owua muri nawuo, aeniki Katonda aaza okuwa-aa omugawo omunene ku okuwa nawuo. 36 Musugaane mukole olutuunyo kugere ni mumiire okukola okuagala okwa Katonda, muuze mutuukre ekia Katonda yaifuuwa okuwa-aa.* 37 Endagano ewoola otino:

“Wuangu-wuangu ino, ooza aaza okuuza kandi ngaaza okukinda, yaaya.

38 Na awigolovu wange,* iwo waaza okumenya ku okuwa kwawu no okuganya.

39 Ni ifwe ngaturi awalala ku awantu awairana enyima kandi waaonwa, yaaya. Ni turi awantu awawa no okuganya kandi waanunulwa.*

Emifwano emilootu egia okuwa no okuganya

1 Okuganya kuri okuwa no owuene ku ekintu ekia turindirra okutuukra, kandi okuwula ni kaoozi ku ekintu ekia tutawona na amiiso.* 2 Okuganya nikwo okwagera ni Katonda aganya waaguukwa wiifu mu amiire aga kale.

3 Ku okuganya, tuwurra mbwe igulu ne ekialo wialukwa ku amangʼana aga Katonda yasikirra. Kutio ewintu ewiwonwa wialukwa ni kuema ku ewintu ewitawonwa.*

4 Ku okuganya okwa Abeeli yawanga nakwo, yafumia omusango omulootu ogwa Katonda yaganya nagwo okukira ogwa Kaini yafumia. Katonda yaganya no omusango ogwa yafumia, okulagana mbwe Abeeli yawanga omuntu omuigolovu. Kandi kukawa mbwe Abeeli yafwa kale-kale ino, ku okuganya okwa yawanga nakwo okwo, akiagamba-gamba ni ifwe na reero.*

5 Ku okuganya okwa Enooka yawanga nakwo, Katonda yamutoola mu owulamu wuno agia ku igulu na atawitre mu olumbe. Ni kutio aeniki, ni yawanga na akiari okutoolwa, Katonda yamuganya ki omuntu owa yasangaala nae.* 6 Kandi no omuntu awula no okuganya, ngaesa okusangaazia Katonda, yaaya. Aeniki omuntu-umuntu ogia ku Katonda, owusookere paka awe no okuganya mbwe Katonda ario, kandi mbwe ari ne empanwa eya a-aa omuntu-umuntu omuagala no omwoyo gwae gwona.

7 Okuganya okwa Noowa yawanga nakwo, nikwo okwagera na akonza owuato okununula nawuo awa mu enyumba yaae. Ku okuwurra amangʼana aga Katonda yamusiagizia nago ku ewintu ewiawanga ni wikiari okuikola okuemera ri, Katonda yamuingizia ki omuntu omuigolovu emberi waae. Na awantu awasigaale ku ekialo woona, iwo Katonda yawakengera ekiina ekia okufwa olumbe olwa amanzi.*

8 Okuganya okwa Abraamu yawanga nakwo kwagera, olwa Katonda yamueta mbwe afume owaawu, agie mu ekialo kindi ekisaasa ekia Katonda omwene yagianga okumu-aa kiwe omugawo gwae, yaganya mala afuma okugia na atamanyire mbwe aa yagianga na ai.* 9 Ku okuganya kwazane okwo, Abraamu yamenya ki omugeni mu ekialo ekia Katonda yamuifuuwira. Yamenya mu amaeema mala kiomo Isaaka ni Yakoobo, awa Katonda yaifuuwira owufwanani woona waamenya.* 10 Yakola otio aeniki yarindirranga okuwona omugizi ogwa Katonda omwene nio owawanga omukwaguzi owa iyomboka kandi omuomboki wagwo. Omugizi oguri no owulusa owurio amiire goona.*

11 Ku okuganya okwa yawanga nakwo, Abraamu yawa swawu omwana, kukawa mbwe Saara yawanga omukazi otaiwula kandi iye omwene yoona yawanga omuntu omukiire ino. Kino kiaikola aeniki omwene* yaganya mbwe Katonda owamuifuuwira, arindre amangʼana gaae.* 12 Kutio ni kuemera ku omuntu omulala ono, owawanga ki omiire okufwa, awiizukulu awangi ki engʼeni-ngʼeni ezia ku igulu kandi awataiwala ki omusenye ogwa ku esanyaata eya enyanza, waaiwulwa.*

13 Awantu wano woona, waawa no okuganya nawuno mu okufwa kwawu. Ngawakatuukra ewintu ewia Katonda yawaifuuwira yaaya, ni waawiwona kandi wawi-ingizia ni wiawanga ni wikiari ale ino. Iwo waaganya mbwe wari awageni kandi awalugendwa ku ekialo kuno.* 14 Awantu awagamba-gamba watio walagana mbwe iwo wagala ekialo kiawu aweene. 15 Kuweeko mbwe waawanga ni wakiaingirizia ekialo ekia waangʼaanyamo, ao otio wakaweere ni iwaga eria okuirana eyo. 16 Ni aa okukola otio, iwo waawa na amiiga aga okugia mu ekialo ekilootu okukira, ekialo ekia ku igulu. Kutio Katonda ngawa ne ensuuko na aetwa Katonda waawu, aeniki amiire okuwaombokera omugizi.*

17 Ku okuganya okwa Abraamu yawanga nakwo, olwa Katonda yamugeezaania, yaganya afumia Isaaka ki omusango. Iye owa Katonda yaifuuwira, yawanga na aikagre okufumia omuzia waae omulala engʼene ki omusango.* 18 Kukawa mbwe Katonda yawanga na amiire okumuifuuwira na amulaga mbwe, “Ni ku Isaaka nio awiizukulu waao waaza okuemako.”† 19 Abraamu yawoola mu omwoyo gwae mbwe namba ni Isaaka afwire, Katonda ari na amaani aga okumuziusia awe omulamu kandi. Kandi mu engira indi, Katonda yairanizia Abraamu Isaaka omuzia waae na amutoola mu olumbe.*

20 Ku okuganya, Isaaka yasereka Yakoobo ni Esaao mu owulamu wuawu owua emberi.* 21 Ku okuganya Yakoobo olwa yawanga ampi okufwa, yasereka awazia awa Yoseefu wawiri, kandi yasawa Katonda na aisigiike ku ensimbo yaae.* 22 Ku okuganya Yoseefu, olwa amiire aga owulamu wuae gawanga ni gari ampi okuwua, yagamba-gamba ku okufuma okwa Awaisraeli mu ekialo ekia Misiri kandi yawasikirra mbwe waginge ewigumba wiae wagie nawio, ni wangʼaanya eyo.*

23 Ku okuganya, awiiwuzi awa Muusa waamuwisa ku emienzi isatu aeniki waawona mbwe ngakawanga omwana-umwana, kandi ngawakatia *ensikirra eya Faraao, omwami owa Misiri, yafumia.* 24 Ku okuganya, Muusa ni yawanga na amiire okuwa omuntu mukulu, yalowa okumanyikana kiomo omuzia owa omwala owa Faraao.* 25 Yakenga mu omwoyo gwae mbwe kwawanga okulootu okugia okunyaasiwua wululu alala na awantu awa Katonda, okukira okumenya owulamu owuizuule ne ekisangaalo ekia owuoni wureeta, ku amiire amatono. 26 Yatoola okutuukra ensuuko ku amangʼana aga *Kristo ki ekintu ekinene okukira okuwa no owunyazi owua mu ekialo ekia Misiri, aeniki yarindirranga okutuukra omugawo gwae mu amiire agaawanga ni gakiari emberi.*

27 Ku okuganya, Muusa yafuma mu ekialo ekia Misiri, ni ngʼani mbwe yatianga okusu okwa omwami yaaya, ni yagia-ugia aeniki yafwana owawonanga Katonda otawonwa na amiiso.* 28 Ku okuganya, Muusa yakola omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka kandi yasikirra Awaisraeli okuminza amasaai ku ewiriango, kugere *enyankoi owa olumbe ataaza yaita awaana awa Awaisraeli awa oluweri.* 29 Ku okuganya, Awaisraeli waawita ku Enyanza Enyakanyu † ki awantu awagenda-genda ku ilowa ikalu. No olwa awantu awa Misiri waageezaania okukola owufwanani, enyanza yawamira woona!*

30 Ku okuganya, enzizi eya omugizi ogwa Yeriiko yaolomoka ewuera ansi boo, olwa awantu awa Katonda waaguisunguuziako ku amiire musamvu.*

31 Ku okuganya, Raabu omukazi omusoodani yaingizia awantu awa Muusa yatuma okugia okuwuwarra ekialo owuiwisi, kandi ku okukola otio ngakaitwa alala na awantu awaalowa okuwurra Katonda.‡*

32 Iwaga riiza riankeeya okuwoola amangi ku awantu kiomo Gidioni, Baraaki, Samsooni, Yefutha, Daudi, Samweli, alala na *awagambi.* 33 Wano na awantu awa ni kuwitra ku okuganya okwa waawanga nakwo ku Katonda, waakira ewialo ewia owuami ewingi mu amaye, waakangatra ewialo no owuigolovu kandi waatuukra ewintu ewia Katonda yawaifuuwira. Awandi awaaigalao eminwa egia endwe,* 34 wazimia endimi ezia omurro oguakaka kandi wamizuka ku okuitwa ne emiambe. Owunyowu-nyoowu wuawu wuagalusiwua wuwa amaani kandi waairana wawa awakalangufu mu iye mala wavuna awazigu waawu awaaema mu ewialo ewigeni.*

35 Ku okuganya, awakazi wandi waaziusiziwua awantu waawu awaawanga ni wamiire okufwa, wawatoola wagia nawo.

Awandi okuganya kwawu ku Katonda kwagera waitwa owululu, ni walowere okureka okuganya kwawu kugere walekulwe wawe owuyanga, ni wari no okuagala mbwe waaze waziusiwue watuukre owulamu owulootu okukira.* 36 Awandi waangʼongʼoonrwa kandi waswawukwa enkowa uwiiwi. Awandi waasiwua ne eminyororo kandi warigizwa mu owusiwe.* 37 Waakubwa na amawaale nawuno wafwa, awandi waakengwa wawaluulwa embaala wiwiri, na awandi waaitwa ne emiambe. Awandi waagenda-genda ni wiiwooye amaseero aga amagondi na aga embuzi. Waataka kugia okuria, waanyasiwua wululu kandi wakorrwa uwiiwi owuluguulwa.* 38 Awantu wano waatoolwa ki awatasugre no okumenya ku ekialo kuno. Waagenda-genda ni wakuba eno ne eno mu ekeewa ni waiwisa mu ewigiri, kandi mu embagatana ezia amawuuta ni mu amiina aga mu ilowa munsi.

39 Awantu wano woona Katonda yasangaala nawo ku okuganya kwawu okwa waawanga nakwo ku iye. Kukawa kutio, awulao namba omulala ku iwo owatuukra ewintu ewia Katonda yaifuuwa okuwa-aa. 40 Ni kutio aeniki Katonda yawanga no omupango omulootu ni ifwe okukira, kugere mala ni wari alala ni ifwe, nikwo wakolwe awantu awatuufu awawula ne embala.

Katonda agolola awaana waae no olugonzi

1 Kutio aeniki tusunguziiwue no omurima omunene ogwa awawoni ku owulamu owulagana okuganya okunene tutio, mutuvuule ekintu-ukintu ekiiza kiatuweera ekigazio tute ansi, ino-ino owuoni owuuza wuatunaga. Kandi muturumuke embiro ezia Katonda atuteriire emberi no olutuunyo.* 2 Mutute amiiso giifu ku Yesu tiiri, iye owa okuganya kwifu kuisigiikeko okuemera mu owutanikro kutuuka mu owutuuko. Omwene yaganya okufwa olumbe olwa ensuuko ku *omusalaaba aeniki yawanga na amanyire owusangaavu owua yaazanga okutuukra emberi. Nyingeeno aikaale nyakukono okusaaza okwa entewe eya owuami eya Katonda.* 3 Mute amaingirizio giinyu ku iye owasikia omwoyo gwae ni yawitanga mu ewintu ewiwiiwi wiona ewia awantu awooni waamukorra, kugere mutaaza mwaluya kandi mwafwa emioyo.

4 Mu okulwania owuoni, inywe mukiari okutuuka aa amasaai giinyu gasulula. 5 Kusi mumiire okulawira amangʼana aga Katonda awakalangusia nago na awaeta awaana waae? Yawoola otino:

“Mwana wange, otatoola okugololwa okwa *Omwami Katonda wutono

kandi otafwa omwoyo na akugaania ekintu.

6 Aeniki Katonda agolola awaana waae awa agonziizie

kandi aswawuka awantu woona awa aingizia ki awaana waae.”†*

7 Musikie emioyo giinyu ni Katonda awagolola, aeniki nintio akorra awaana waae. Kusi arioko omwana otagololwa ni swae?* 8 Iwue no otagololwa kiomo awaana woona wakorrwa, kane ngori omwana owa mu enyumba ndiki-ndiki, no ori mala enzagukirwa. 9 Ni tu-aa waasoifu awa ku ekialo kuno awatugolola ni tukorre uwiiwi owuti, katio tusugaane tuiisie ansi owufwana wutie emberi wa Soifu owa ku igulu kugere tumenye owulamu owutariwua? 10 Waasoifu watugolola ku emiaka emitono, kandi wakola watio kiomo iwo aweene wawuine. No okugololwa okwa Katonda okwo, kulootu ku ifwe aeniki okuagala kwae ni mbwe tuwe awantu aweeru kiomo iye.* 11 Enyinga ezia omuntu agololwa, awona uwiiwi kandi ngawona geeza, yaaya. Kukawa kutio, lunyima, okugololwa okwo kureetra awantu awaigereere nakwo, owulongoole no owuolu mu owulamu wuawu.

12 Kutio mukalangusie amakono giinyu agadembuuke, na amasigamo giinyu amadewenyu.* 13 “Mugolole engira eya amagulu giinyu galonda ewe enyigolovu,”† kugere awantu awawalonda, wakawa mbwe wari wanyowu-nyoowu namba awarema, ngawaaza okuwa uwiiwi okukira kiomo wari, ni waaza okulama.

Okulaga Katonda omugongo kulowerwe

14 Mukole wukalu muwone mbwe mumenyere no owuolu na awantu woona kandi mumenye owulamu owueru aeniki awantu awatari aweeru ngawariwona Omwami.* 15 Muwone mbwe awulao omuntu ku inywe okeeyire okutuukra owusiza owua Katonda kandi mbwe emizi emilulu, egitawania kandi egimwamia awantu, gitaaza giawakomamo.* 16 Muwone mbwe awulao omuntu ku inywe ori omusondo namba otaiwariire ni Katonda ki Esaao, owaguzia omugawo gwae ogwa omuzia owa oluweri, no okuria okulala kwengʼene.* 17 Mumanyire mbwe lunyima ni yaagalanga mbwe atoole ensereki eya omugawo ogwo, yalowua kandi kukawa mbwe yaguagala na amaziga amangi gamuyooka, okwo ngakukagalusia ekiamala okuwisiwua namba wutono.*

18 Inywe mukiari okuuza mu ekigiri ekiesa okuambwa na amakono, ekigiri ekiyia no omurro. Mukiari okuuza mu ekierema, ansi ayumbre kandi aa omuyaga ogwa ekiwunzu-wunzu guwuuta kiomo Awaisraeli waakola ku ekigiri ekia Sinaai. 19 Eyo waawurra olwiga ni lurra wukaalu, no omwoyo ogwawoolanga amangʼana agaagera awantu waisasaama Katonda mbwe areke okugamba-gamba nawo.* 20 Waakola watio aeniki amangʼana aga Katonda yasikirra na awoola mbwe, “Namba ni kuri mbwe omwandu nigwo ogutazre ekigiri ekio, paka gukubwe na amawaale gufwe,”† gaawa-ambia owuti ino. 21 Ewia waawona ao wiatiisianga, okwagera ni Muusa awoola mbwe, “Nyadada no owuti.”†

22 Ni inywe muuzre mu ekigiri ekia *Sayuuni, Yerusaleemu omugizi ogwa Katonda omulamu oguri ku igulu. Muuzre ku okuikumia okwa *enyankoi amaelufu na amaelufu awaizuule ne ekisangaalo du.* 23 Muuzre mu okuikumia okwa awaana awa oluweri awa amiina gaawu gaajojwa ku igulu.

25 Muwone mbwe ngamulowere Katonda ogamba-gamba ni inywe. Aeniki ni kuri mbwe Awaisraeli awaalowa okuwurra aga Muusa owawasiagizia ku ekialo ngawakamizuka, katio ifwe kuuza okutuweera uwiiwi owufwana wutie ni tulowere okusiagiziwua okwa omuntu oemere ku igulu?* 26 Anyuma aria omwoyo gwae gwazegezia ekialo, ni nyingeeno amiire okuifuuwa na awoola mbwe, “Olwa okuwiri kandi nyiza okuzegezia, ngʼane ekialo kiengʼene, ni kugia igulu riona.”†* 27 Ingʼana eriwoola mbwe “Olwa okuwiri kandi” rilagana mbwe ewintu ewialukwa wiona wiiza okuzegeziwua, kugere ewintu ewitaesa okuzegera wiengʼene wiwe mbwe niwio ewisigalao. 28 Kutio mutuiranizie Katonda otioo, aeniki ifwe tutuukra owuami owutaesa okuzegera. Mutusawe Katonda mu engira enzeru eya aganyire nayo, ni tulagana owuti kandi ni tumutiire ino,* 29 aeniki Katonda iifu afwana omurro ogusamba gwamala chwe.†

Emirimo egiomerezia Katonda

1 Mugie emberi no okuwa no olugonzi agati iinyu kiomo awada ku *Kristo.* 2 Mutaaza mwalawira okuingizia awageni yaaya, aeniki ku okukola otio awandi wamiire okuingizia kugia *enyankoi ni watamanyire.* 3 Muingirizie Awakristo awiina wiinyu awari mu owusiwe, mala kiomo kukaweere mbwe mwona muri nawo mu owusiwe; kandi muingirizie awari mu eminyako-nyaako mala kiomo kukaweere mbwe mwona muri nawo mu eminyako-nyaako egio.*

4 Okukwezana ne ekintu ekisugaane okueewua owuti na awantu woona,* kandi owuriri owua awantu awakwezaane paka wurindwe no owueru wuona, aeniki Katonda aaza okukengera awantu woona awari awasoodani alala na awagia ku iseero na awakazi namba awasaaza awa awandi, ekiina.*

5 Muwe ale no okugonzia amasendi mu owulamu wuinyu kandi muigute ne ewintu ewia muri nawio aeniki Katonda amiire okuwoola otino,

6 Kutio tuwoola no owusiani mbwe,

“Katonda nio ontunzia, kutio ngʼanyiza okutia ekintu.

Katio niki ekia omuntu aesa okunkorra?”†

7 Mutalawira awakangasi wiinyu awamiire okuwagerera amangʼana aga Katonda. Muingirizie owulamu owua wamiire okuwa ni wamenyere kandi mwona mukole wukalu muwone mbwe mumenyere no okuganya okufwanana no okwawu.*

8 Yesu Kristo no omulala otagaluka izo, reero kandi amiire goona.* 9 Mutaaza mwasemereziwua ne engerera engeni ezigawukane-gawukaane, yaaya. Kuri kulootu ne emioyo giifu gikalangusiwua no owusiza owua Katonda, ni ngʼani ne endagirra ezigamba-gamba ku ewiokuria ewisugaane wizirwe ne ewitasugaane wizirwe, aeniki wuwulao owuitunzi owua endagirra ezio zireetra awantu awazilonda.

10 Turi ni *isiga eria okukola omusango eria awantu awakola emirimo mu eema eya okusawa Katonda ngawaganyiirwe okuriirako. 11 *Omuozia omunene aingira Asi Aeeru Owutuukre na agingre amasaai aga emiandu ki omusango ogwa okufumia owuoni. Ne enyama eya emiandu egio esambrwa enze eya omugizi.* 12 Kutio Yesu yoona yanyaasiziwua enze eya ekiriwua ekia omugizi kugere aeruyie awantu na amasaai gaae omwene, wawe aweeru.* 13 Kutio mutumugieko enze eya ekambi, tugie tuwone ensuuko ezia omwene yawona. 14 Aeniki ku ekialo kuno, ifwe tuwula no omugizi oguuza okuwaao amiire goona. Ni turindirra okugia ku omugizi ogukiari emberi, oguuza.*

15 Kutio, ni kuwitra ku Yesu, mutufumizie Katonda omusango ogwa okumutondowola enyinga ziona ni tugamba-gamba ku owunene owua eriina riae.* 16 Kandi mutalawira okukorra awandi geeza, no okugawira awandi ewintu wiinyu aeniki Katonda asangaala ne emisango ki egio.*

17 Mu-ee awakangasi awawakangatiire owuti kandi mukole ewia wawalagre. Wakola emirimo egia okurinda emioyo giinyu ni wamanyire mbwe waaza okuirania amangʼana emberi wa Katonda. Muwawurre kugere wakole emirimo giawu no owusangaavu, ni ngʼani ki omusigo yaaya, aeniki okukola otio ngakuuza okuwatunzia, yaaya.*

Engawuzi elowerwe

1 Waamwifu, ki awantu awaganyire ku *Omwami Yesu *Kristo ori no owunene, mutaaza mwalagana engawuzi, yaaya.* 2 Tutoole mbwe omuntu oiwooye enguwo endootu ne eteeru eya edhaabu ku ekiala aazre mu okuikumia kwinyu, nikwo omuntu omutaka oiwooye enguwo etanduku yoona aaze aingire. 3 Ni kuri mbwe muingizia omuntu owa enguwo endootu geeza ni mumulaga mbwe, “Iwue, entewe endootu ngino eri ano, ikalako,” no omutaka mumulage mbwe, “Iwue, gia oimerre aaria” namba mbwe, “Iwue, ikala ansi ku amagulu gange ano” 4 ao otio ngʼamumiirre okulagana engawuzi agati iinyu kandi muwa ki awakengi awa ekiina awari na amaingirizio amawiiwi?

5 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, mutege amatwi muwurre. Katonda alowoole awataka emberi wa ekialo kino, okuwa awanyazi mu okuganya kandi okuwa mu owuami owua yaifuuwira awantu awamugonziizie.* 6 Ni inywe mumiire okurega awataka. Kane, awanyazi ngʼaniwo awawasakula? Iwo ngʼani iwo awawakulula ni wawaira mu ewiina? 7 Ngʼani iwo awagamba-gamba uwiiwi ku eriina inene eria Yesu owa muri awantu waae?

8 Ni kuri mbwe kuwuene murindre *ensikirra enkaate ino eri mu *endagano ewoola mbwe, “Gonzia omwina waao kiomo oigonziizie iwue omwene,”† ao mukola geeza.* 9 Ni, ni kuri mbwe muri ne engawuzi, ao otio mukola owuoni kandi ekiina kiwakirre ki awantu awaona ensikirra.* 10 Aeniki omuntu na arindre ensikirra ziona, na aone mala endala engʼene, ekiina kimukirre mbwe aonere ensikirra ziona.* 11 Kuri kutio aeniki Katonda omulala owawoola mbwe, “Otaaza wawita no omukazi nakuwa omusaaza owa owundi,”† nio owawoola yoona mbwe, “Otaita.”† No oitre omuntu, oonre ensikirra ziona kukawa mbwe iwue nowita no omukazi nakuwa omusaaza owa owundi.

12 Mu okugamba-gamba kandi mu enkola ziinyu muwe no okumanya mbwe muuza okukengerwa ekiina ne ensikirra egera awantu ni wawa owuyanga.* 13 Ee, aeniki awantu awata-ambra awandi amasaasra, iwo Katonda ngariwa-ambra amasaasra olwa ariwakengra ekiina. Omuntu oambra awandi amasaasra, iye ngasugaane atie okukengerwa ekiina.*

Okuganya okuwula ne enkola kufwire kuwula emirimo

14 Wamwifu, no owulootuuki omuntu okuwoola mbwe iye ari no okuganya ku Katonda, na awula ne enkola chee? Oingirizia mbwe okuganya ki okwo kuesa okumununula?* 15 Reka tutoole ku omufwano mbwe ario wamwifu ku Kristo owekizia nakuwa owekikazi owula ne enguwo no okuria okwa owuire ki owuire chee. 16 Omulala ku inywe na amulagre otino, “Fuma ogende! Inze nkuagarra owulootu. Iguta kandi embeo etakuria,” ni eno kiwulao-uwula ekintu ekia amukoriire okumutuusizia okuagala okwa omuwiri okwa ari nakwo okwo. Ao otio owulootu wuri? 17 Mu engira endala eyo, okuganya kwengʼene okuwulamo enkola kufwire kuwula emirimo.*

18 Omuntu aesa yalowa na awoola otino, “Wario awantu awari no okuganya, na awandi awari ne enkola.” Ni inze mboola ntino, “Nanyesa okuwona okuganya kwao no owula ne enkola endootu, yaaya. Ni inze nyiza okukulaga okuganya okwa ndi nakwo ni kuwita ku enkola ziange endootu.” 19 Mberi ori no okuganya mbwe Katonda ari omulala wengʼene? Ao otio kulootu! Ni namba *ewikeeno wiona wiri no okuganya otio kandi okwo kugera ni wiadada.*

20 Iwue omuntu omumaya ono, okia-agala okumanya mbwe okuganya okuwula ne enkola kuwula emirimo? 21 Katonda ngayatoola guukwa iifu Abraamu ki omuntu omuigolovu, ku enkola eya yakola olwa yafumia omuzia waae Isaaka ki omusango, ku *isiga eria okufumia omusango?* 22 Ngowona mbwe okuganya kwae ne enkola ziae, ziakolanga alala, kandi mbwe enkola ezia yakola ziagera okuganya kwae kutuuka kuwuene? 23 Kandi amangʼana agari mu endagano agawoola mbwe, “Abraamu yaganya ku Katonda, kandi Katonda yamuwalra okuganya okwo ki owuigolovu,”† gaatuuka kuwuene, kandi Abraamu yaetwa omwiko owa Katonda.* 24 Katio oesa okuwona geeza mbwe omuntu aingiziwua mu empurizanio ni Katonda ku ewintu ewia akola, ni ngʼani ku okuganya kwengʼene, yaaya.*

25 Mu engira endala eyo, Raabu omukazi omusoodani, ngayatoolwa ki omuigolovu ku ekintu ekia yakola olwa yaingizia awantu awaatumwa okugia okuwarra ekialo owuiwisi kandi aaza awata ku engira indi ni wairana aa waaema?* 26 Mala kiomo omuwiri oguwulamo omwoyo gufwire, nintio lwona okuganya okuwula ne enkola kwona kufwire kuwula emirimo.

Okurinda olurimi

1 Waamwifu, owungi wuinyu ngawasugaane waite mu emirimo egia okugerera awantu, yaaya. Aeniki mumanyire mbwe ifwe awagerezi, ekiina kiifu kiiza okuwa ekikalu ino.* 2 Twona tuiguunya mu engira enyingi. No omuntu aigoloole mu amangʼana aga awoola, ari omuntu omulongoole owulamo embala kandi aesa okurinda omuwiri gwae gwona.*

3 Ni tuta ewigowero ewitono mu eminwa egia efaraasi kugera zituwurre, tuesa twalaga entiangʼi enkaate ezio engira ezia tuagala mbwe zilonde.* 4 Namba ni tutoorre emeeli ki omufwano, kukawa mbwe emeeli nkaate kandi eirwa ne emiyaga emizito ino, elagwa engira mala ne ekigowero ekitoono mala yagia asi-uasi aa omugowa aagala mbwe egie. 5 Mu engira efwanani, olurimi luri ekiimo ekitono ku omuwiri, ni luwoola amangʼana amakate-kaate aga okuitumbula. Ingiriziako kiomo isaka inene rikubwako omurro mala ni endasi endala. 6 Olurimi, agati eya ewiimo windi ewia omuwiri, luri omurro ogusamba, kandi ne ekialo ekiizuule no owuoni du. Luona omuwiri ogwa omuntu gwona kandi lukuba omurro ku owulamu owua omuntu wuona kandi olwene lukubwako omurro oguema Gaena eene.*

7 Entiangʼi enyingi ezigawukane-gawukaane kiomo enyonyi, entiangʼi ezimoola, alala ne ezimenyere mu enyanza ziona, zifugwa no omuntu mala eyawanga endalu, yairana yawa empolu. 8 Na awulao omuntu oesa yarinza olurimi lwae. Olurimi luwoola ewintu ewiwiiwi ewingi ino aa lutaezera kandi luizuule no owusungu owuita.*

9 Tukola no olurimi okutondowola Omwami kandi Soifu Katonda, kandi no olurimi olulala olwo, tufuuwa awantu awa Katonda yaluka mu embonekano yaae omwene.* 10 Omunwa omulala gufumia amangʼana agatondowola alala na agafuuwa. Waamwifu, ngakusugaane kuwe kutio yaaya.* 11 Amanzi amalootu na amalulu gaesa otie okufuma mu ekisulo ekilala? 12 Waamwifu, omuti ogwa omukuyu lwona gukalawia *zaituuni, nakuwa *omuzabiibu gulawie omukuyu? Ekisulo ekia amanzi agarimo omuunyu kiona ngakiesa okufumia amanzi amalootu.*

Amaganga agaema ku Katonda na agaema ku ekialo

13 Naanu ku inywe ori omuganga kandi ori no okuwurra? Asugaane awilagane ku okumenya owulamu owulootu, ne ewintu ewia akola no okuiisia kwae ansi okuema mu okuwa na amaganga. 14 Ni, no owiikre iyari ilulu alala no okuagala ewiao omwene mu omwoyo gwao, otaaza waitumbula mbwe ori omuganga. Okukola otio no owuweeyi kandi no okulowa owuene.* 15 Amaganga agafwana gano ngagaika ansi ni gaema ku igulu yaaya, ni gaema ku ekialo, gari aga enkola ezia ku ekialo kandi gaema ku ekikeeno.* 16 Asi aa awantu waizuule ni iyari no okuagala ewintu wiawu aweene, ao ooza okutuukrao okuoneka ne enkola embiiwi ziona. 17 Na amaganga agaema ku igulu, owusookere gari ameeru kandi gareeta okugonzia okuwa no owuolu na awandi, okuwa na amaingirizio amalootu na awantu, okuiisia ansi, okuizula na amasaasra ne enkola endootu, okuwona awantu owuagani alala no okugonzia owuene.* 18 Awantu awareeta owuolu agati ya awantu, awasimba owuolu, iwo wagesa owuigolovu.*

Iisia ansi emberi wa Katonda

1 Ekireeta amaye ne ensoolo agati iinyu niki? Ngagaema ku okuagala okungi okwa muri nakwo, nikwo okulwana mu emioyo giinyu?* 2 Oagala ekintu, ni ngokituukra. Oita kandi oagala ekia owundi, ni ngoesa watuukra ekia wagala. Osoolana kandi olwana. Ngotuukra aeniki ngosawa Katonda. 3 Ni no osawa, ngotuukra aeniki osawa na amaingirizio amawiiwi, mbwe no otuukiire, ogie okole nakio mala ewintu ewikusangaazia iwue omwene.

4 Inywe awantu awatarinda endagano ki awantu awagonziizie okugenda-genda enze eya enserezi wano! Ngʼamumanyire mbwe okuamba owuiko ne ekialo kureeta owuzigu ni Katonda? Omuntu-umuntu olowoole okuamba owuiko ne ekialo, awa omuzigu owa Katonda.* 5 Kusi muingirizia mbwe *endagano ewoola wusaasa mbwe *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda agera na atumenyamo ari ni iyari ino mbwe tugonzie Katonda engʼene? 6 Ni, Katonda atu-aa owusiza owungi. Ekio nikio ekigera ne endagano ewoola otino:

“Katonda alowa awantu awaitumbula

na aesana owusiza ku awantu awaiisia ansi.”†*

7 Kutio muiisie ansi emberi wa Katonda. Mulowe *Ekikeeno, kandi kiiza okuwarumuka.* 8 Muuze ampi ni Katonda, ni oona aaza okuuza ampi ni inywe. Muozie amakono giinyu, inywe awooni, kandi mueruyie emioyo giinyu inywe awantu awagawuuke kawiri mu amaingirizio gaawu wano.* 9 Muiyumbe kandi murre ni mukuba enkweri. Mureke okuseka, mutanike okurra kandi mureke okuwa awasangaavu, mutanike okuiyumba. 10 Muiisie inywe aweene emberi wa Katonda, nikwo aaza okuwaginga kungulu.*

11 Waamwifu, mutata amangʼana aga owuweeyi ku awiina wiinyu. Omuntu-umuntu ogamba-gamba uwiiwi ku omwina waae namba okengera omwina waae ekiina, agamba-gamba uwiiwi ku *ensikirra, kandi ensikirra eene nie eya akengera ekiina. No okengera ensikirra ekiina, ngogirinda yaaya, no ogiikazizia ekiina.* 12 Ario omulala engʼene oesana ensikirra kandi omulala ori omukengi owa ekiina. Ee omulala engʼene oesa okununula awantu no okuona awantu. Ni iwue oriki okakengera omwina waao ekiina?*

Okuitumbula ku ekia enkio orikola

13 Katio sarigira owurre, iwue owoola mbwe, “Reero namba enkio tuuza okugia ku omugizi guno nakuwa guria, tugie tutoole omwaka eyo, ni tuniiwa kandi ni tutuukra amasendi.” 14 Oreeta otie okuwoola otio, ni ngomanyire namba ekiiza okuikola enkio? Kusi owulamu wuao wuriki? Ofwana ifu eriwaao mala ku enyinga entwini, kandi riateeka no okuteeka.** 15 Aa okuwoola otio, osugaane owoole mbwe, “Katonda na aganyire, tuuza okuwa awalamu kandi tukole kino namba kiria.”* 16 Ne ekirio, oitumbula kandi oitoola. Okuitumbula okwo kwona, kuri owuoni.* 17 Kutio omuntu omanyire ekilootu ekia asugaane akole, na areka-ureka okukikola, akola owuoni.*

Okusikia omwoyo mu emidambo

7 Waamwifu, musikie emioyo giinyu kane, nawuno Omwami Yesu airane. Mumanyire kiomo omurimi arinda omusiri okulawia emere endootu, kandi kiomo asikia omwoyo na arinda emvula eya omwenzi ogwa Katawalaari no omwenzi ogwa Nyauru.* 8 Mwona musikie emioyo giinyu kandi muimerre aa mutaiyunzia yaaya, aeniki okuirana okwa Omwami kuri ampi.* 9 Waamwifu, okuirizia kutaaza kwawaao agati iinyu kugere Katonda atawakengra ekiina mbwe muri awooni. Omukengi owa ekiina nyingeeno ari ampi, aimeriire enze eya ekiriango!*

10 Waamwifu, nyagala mulonde omufwano ogwa *awagambi awaagamba-gamba ku eriina eria Omwami Katonda. Iwo waasikia emioyo giawu namba mu emidambo eminene egia waawona.* 11 Kiomo mumanyire, awantu awamiire okukola olutuunyo mu eminyako-nyaako, niwo awa tutoola ki awasereekwe. Mwamiire okuwurra kiomo Ayubu yakola olutuunyo kandi ekia Omwami Katonda yamukorra lunyima. Omwami Katonda aizuule na amasaasra na amagongi du!*

12 Waamwifu, owukirre wiona, mutaaza mwaifuuwa namba ni igulu, ekialo nakuwa ekintu-ukintu. Inywe ni muwoorre mbwe “Ee” kuwe mala kutio, kandi ni muwoorre mbwe “Yaaya” kuwe mala kutio. Ni kutari kutio, muuza okukengerwa ekiina mbwe muri awooni.*

Okusawa okwa omuntu ori no okuganya

Ee, Katonda aaza okumuemia ku iseero awe omulamu. Ni ni kuri mbwe yakola owuoni, Katonda aaza okumurekera.* 16 Kutio mulage awiina wiinyu amawi giinyu kandi musawire ewiina wiinyu kugere Katonda awalamie. Okusawa okwa omuntu omuigolovu kuri na amaani kandi kukola emirimo.*

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Ebaruwa eno yajojwa no *Omutumwa Petro omwaka ogwa 65, andi ni yawanga ku omugizi ogwa Rooma, aa yaitwa no Omwami Niiro emiaka emitono egialondako. Amangʼana gandi amakalu aga Olugiriiki agari mu ebaruwa eno galagana mbwe andi Siila yatunzia Petro okugijoja, na agandi gafwana na amangʼana aga Paulo owa Siila yakola nae ku emiaka emiera. No olugambo olurimo lulagana amaingirizio aga Omuibrania agafwanana na agari mu ebuuki eya Yakoobo, nikulondokana ni kiomo *Omuyaudi Omukristo yaingirizianga.

Petro yajojeranga Awakristo awaawanga mu ekialo ekia *Eesia Ekitono kiona awaanyaasiwuanga, ni ino-ino yagamba-gambranga Awayaudi Awakristo awaawanga ni warumuuke wareka emigizi giawu. Waatuukra eminyako-nyaako emilulu okuema ku awandi awataganyire ku Yesu ni kandi waazanga okuwona eminyako-nyaako okukira ao.

Ku inywe awalowole awa Katonda awari awageni ku ekialo kuno, awatanyiike mu ewialo ewia Pontuusi, ni Galatia, Kapadookia, *Eesia ni Bitiinia.* 2 Katonda Soifu yawalowola kiomo yamala okutaao kale, kandi awatengeka okuwa aweeru ni kuwitra ku *Omwoyo Omweru, kugere muwurre Yesu Kristo kandi mueruyiwue na amasaai gaae agaasulula.

Owusiza no owuolu wuwe ni inywe kuwungi.*

Okurindirra okuwa no owulamu owutawua

3 Katonda kandi Swawu *Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo atondowolwe! Ku owusiza wuae owunene, amiire okutu-aa owulamu owuyia ni kuwitra ku okuziuka okwa Yesu Kristo okuema ku awafu. Kuno kugera ni tuwa no okurindirra okulamu* 4 kandi kutio turindira okutuukra ensereki enyingi ezia Katonda awiikiire awantu waae ku igulu, aa ngawiiza okuwola, okuoneka namba okukiiriya. 5 Ku okuganya okwa muri nakwo, Katonda aaza okuwarinda na amaani gaae amangi nawuno mutuukre owuinunuzi owuri ampi okusasulwa mu enyinga ezia owutuuko. 6 Musugaane muwe awasangaavu ku ingʼana rino, kukawa mbwe ku enyinga zino kuuza okuwanigirizia okuwona eminyako-nyaako egigawuke-gawuuke. 7 Muuza okuwona eminyako-nyaako gino, kugere okuganya kwinyu okuri okukaate okukira edhaabu eoneka kukawa mbwe e-eruyiwua no omurro, kumanyike mbwe kuri kuwuene kandi kuwareetre okutondowolwa, okueewua owunene no okueewua owuti owuire owua Yesu Kristo ari-irana** 8 Kukawa mbwe mukiari okumuwona, mumugonziizie; lwona kukawa mbwe ngamumuwona ku enyinga zino, mumuganyireko kandi muizuziiwue no owusangaavu owunene owutawoolwa,* 9 aeniki mutuukra owuinunuzi owua owulamu wuinyu, owuri ensimbiiro eya okuganya kwinyu.

10 *Awagambi awaagamba-gamba ku owusiza owuazanga okuwaazra, waagarizia na amaani gaawu goona okumanya amangi ku owuinunuzi wuno. 11 Waagalanga okumanya enyinga ne ewintu ewiazanga okuikola, ewia Omwoyo ogwa Kristo owawawangamo yalagananga olwa yagamba mbwe Kristo yaazanga okuinyaasia kandi mbwe wurio owunene owuazanga okulondako.* 12 Katonda yagera wamanya mbwe ngawakawanga ni wakola emirimo egia okuwatunzia iwo aweene yaaya, ni ni inywe awa waakorra emirimo egio. Ni nyingeeno mumiire okulagwa ewintu wino na awantu awamiire okuwalanzizia *injiili na amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru otumirwe okuema ku igulu. Namba *enyankoi woona warindirra okuwona ewintu wino ni wiikola!*

Owulamu owueru

13 Kutio, mugangamuke kandi muirinde mu enkola ziinyu. Mute okuganya kwinyu kuona ku owusiza owua muuza okueewua olwa Yesu Kristo ari-inana. 14 Kiomo muri awaana awari no owuti, mutalondokana no okuagala okuwiiwi okwa mwawanga nakwo olwa mwawanga ni mumenyere mu okutamanya.* 15 Ni kiomo Katonda owawaeta ari omweru, inywe mwona muwe aweeru ku ewintu wiona ewia mukola. 16 Aeniki kujojerwe otino, “Muwe aweeru mala kiomo noona ndi omweru.”†

17 Aeniki mueta Katonda mbwe Soinyu, iye otatiire amiiso aga omuntu enyinga ezia awarra emirimo egia omuntu ki omuntu, mumu-ee owuti owungi ni mukiari mu owulamu owuimpi owua ku ekialo kuno.* 18 Mumanyire mbwe omurengo ogwa Katonda yawaoloorra okuwata owuyanga okuema ku enkola ezia owusa ezia mwatuukra ku waaguukwa wiinyu, ngagukawanga ogwa ewintu ewiwua wiateeka kiomo efeedha nakuwa edhaabu.* 19 Ni yakola otio na amasaai ameeru aga Kristo, Ekimaatwa ekiwula ne embala nakuwa itone.* 20 Kristo yaloworrwa emirimo gino namba ekialo ni kiawanga ni kikiari okulukwa, ni kugere muwone owulootu, ngakaaza nawuno mu amiire aga owutuuko gano.* 21 Ni kuwitra ku Kristo, muganya ku Katonda owamuziusia okuema ku awafu kandi amuta mu owunene, kandi kutio muri no okuganya no owuene mbwe muriwa no owulamu owutariwua ku Katonda.

22 Nyingeeno kiomo mumiire okuieruyia ku okulonda owuene, muri no olugonzi oluri kuwuene ku waamwinyu. Mugonzanie omuntu no omwina waae no olugonzi olwa munsi.* 23 Mumiire okuiwulwa okuiwulwa okuyia, ngʼani kuema ku emwo efwa yaaya, ni ni kuema ku emwo etaesa okufwa, ni kuwitra ku amangʼana amalamu agatariwua aga Katonda.* 24 Kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe,

“Awantu woona wari ki owusuwi,

kandi owulootu wuawu wufwanana no owua amauwa.

Owusuwi wukala kandi amauwa gagondeera gaadodoka ansi,

25 na Amangʼana aga Omwami gario amiire goona agawula ne entuuko.”*

Kandi amangʼana amalootu aga mwalanziziwua, nigo amangʼana ago.*

1 Kutio, muwe ale ne enkola embiiwi ziona kiomo owuweeyi, okuisemerezia, iyari no okuwoola awantu uwiiwi.* 2 Kiomo awaana awato, muagale amaweere aga omwoyo agari amangʼana aga Katonda, kugere gawakomie mu owuinunuzi wuinyu,* 3 aeniki, ku enyinga zino, mumiire okumanya mbwe Omwami ari omulootu.*

Amawaale amalamu na awalowole awa Katonda

4 Muuze ku *Kristo, ori iwaale ilamu erialowua na awantu, ni rilowolwa ni Katonda ki iwaale ilootu erikirre amawaale goona.* 5 Inywe mwona muri amawaale amalamu agakolwa nago okuomboka *ekaalu eya *Omwoyo Omweru ki *awoozia awatengeke awafumizia Katonda emisango egia Omwoyo Omweru aagala ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo.* 6 Aeniki Katonda awoola mu amangʼana gaae otino:

“Muwarre muwone! Miire okuikazia iwaale *Sayuuni,

iwaale eria mu ekoona ilowole kandi erikirre goona.

Omuntu-umuntu omuganyireko

ngariwona ensuuko, yaaya.”†*

7 Ku inywe awaganyire, iwaale rino riri ilootu okukira goona, ni ku awataganyire,

“Iwaale eria awaomboki waalowa

nirio eriaza riwa iwaale eria ekoona ilootu eriambiriire enzizi geeza okukira goona,”†*

8 kandi,

“Ni iwaale eria awantu waiguunyako

kandi waagwa ansi.”†

Wagwa aeniki ngawakawurra amangʼana, kandi ekio nikio ekia waateerwa kale mbwe kiwaikorre.*

9 Ni, inywe muri awalowole awa Katonda, awoozia awakorra Omwami, oluganda olwa awantu awatengeke kandi awa Katonda omwene, kugere mulanzie ewintu ewikate-kaate ewia iye owawaeta na awatoola mu ekierema na awaingizia mu owueru wuae, amiire okukola.* 10 Kale ngamukawanga oluganda, ni nyingeeno muri awantu awa Katonda; kale ngamukawanga ni mutuukiire owusiza ni nyingeeno mumiire okutuukra owusiza.*

Owulamu owusugaane na awakurumu awa Katonda

11 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, kiomo muri awageni kandi awalugendwa ku ekialo kuno, mbasiagizia mbwe muwe ale no okuagala okuwiiwi okulwania emioyo giinyu.* 12 Kukawa mbwe awatamanyire Katonda wawawoolako ewintu ewiwiiwi, inywe mumenye owulamu owulootu agati yaawu kugere wawone enkola ziinyu endootu kandi watondowole Katonda owuire owua ariwaazako.*

13 Muwurre awantu woona awari mu owukangasi, awe omwami okangatiire ekialo kiona 14 nakuwa awakangasi awari ansi yaae awa atumre okuswawuka awantu awakola amawi no okutondowola awantu awakola geeza.* 15 Aeniki, kuri okuagala okwa Katonda mbwe enkola ziinyu endootu zigere awantu awamaya awawawoola uwiiwi mu okutamanya, wawule ne ekia wakawoola.* 16 Mumenye kiomo awantu awari owuyanga, ni mutakola no owuyanga owuo okusanikira amawi. Mumenye kiomo awemirimo awa Katonda.* 17 Mulagane owuti owusugaane ku awantu woona kandi mugonzie awiina wiinyu awaganyire ku Katonda. Mu-ee Katonda owuti kandi mutie omwami owa ekialo.*

18 Inywe *awakurumu, muwurre awamukorra emirimo kandi muwalage owuti ino. Ni ngʼana awalootu na awaolu wengʼene, ni kugia awawanyaasia. 19 Ne ekintu ekiomerezia Katonda no omuntu asikia omwoyo namba na akorrwa uwiiwi na awula owuoni, aeniki amanyire okuagala okwa Katonda. 20 Ni no owulootuuki owua okatuukra no osikiizie omwoyo no okubrwe emfunzi ku amawi aga okorre? Ni, no osikiizie omwoyo namba no okorrwa amawi, okwo kuomerezia Katonda.** 21 Mwaetwa okukola otio, aeniki Kristo yawanyaka-nyaakra inywe, kandi yawarekera omufwano kugere mulonde olunyaafwa lwae.**

22 Ngakakola owuoni,

kandi ngakawoola owuweeyi, yaaya.†*

23 Olwa waamurigizra amangʼana aga amanyego, ngakairania na amawi; kandi olwa yanyaasiwua ngakairania na amangʼana agatiisia. Ni, iye yata amaingirizio gaaye ku Katonda omukengi owa ekiina mu engira eri kuwuene.* 24 Iye omwene yatoola amawi giifu ku omuwiri gwae *ogwawambwa ku omusalaaba kugere tutalonda okuagala okwa owuoni, ni tumenye owulamu owueru. Ku ewisonga wiae mumiire okulamiwua ku amalwire.* 25 Inywe mwafwananga amagondi agaateeka, ne enyinga zino mumiire okuirana ku Omwayi kandi Omurinzi owa emioyo giinyu.*

Awakazi na awasaaza waawu

1-2 Inywe awakazi mwona muwe awaiisiizie ansi ku awasaaza wiinyu, kugere na awandi ku iwo wataganyire ku amangʼana amalootu aga Katonda, wagaluke wagaingizie mala ku okuwona enkola ziinyu endootu, kandi ni wawona kiomo owulamu wuinyu wuri owueru alala no owuti owungi owua muri nawuo. Kuno kuuza okugera wawe awalala ku awaganyire, namba ni watalagrwe.* 3 Owulootu wuinyu ngawusugaane wuwonwe mala ku okuiwoya okwa enze, kiomo okusuuka emvwiri, okuingizia ewikomo ewia edhaabu, no okuiwoya enguwo eziomerezia.* 4 No owulootu wuinyu wusugaane wueme mu emioyo giinyu munsi. Wuno niwuo owulootu owutaoneka owuema mu omwoyo omusiza kandi omuolu. Owulootu wuno wuri owunene ino mu amiiso aga Katonda. 5 Aeniki, nintio awakazi aweeru awaawanga no okuganya ku Katonda mu amiire amakulu waalagananga owulootu wuawu. Waaiisia ansi ni wawurra awasaaza waawu 6 mala kiomo Saara, owa-aa Abraamu owuti kandi yamuetanga mbwe omwami waae. Mwona muri awaala waae, ni mukola ewintu ewisugaane kandi ni mutatiire ekintu-ukintu.*

7 Inywe awasaaza, mumenye na awakazi wiinyu na amaganga ni mumanyire mbwe wari endukwa endewenyu okuwakira. Muwe nawo no owuti ki awaaza okutuukra empanwa eya owulamu ku owusiza alala kandi owuagani ni inywe, kugere Katonda airanie okusawa kwinyu ni mumusawa.*

Muwe awasiza kandi muiisie ansi.* 9 Mutaaza mwairania amawi ku amawi nakuwa inyego ku inyego. Aa okukola otio, inywe muiranie ne ensereki aeniki mwaetwa okukola otio kugere mutuukre ensereki.* 10 Kutio, kiomo endagano ewoola,

“Omuntu-umuntu oagala okumenya owulamu owulootu

no okuwona amiire amalootu emberi,

paka arinde olurimi lwae atawoola amawi

kandi omunwa gwae gutawoola owuweeyi.

11 Paka areke amawi kandi akole owulootu,

13 Naanu okaagala okukukorra uwiiwi, iwue no oagala mala okukola geeza?* 14 Ni namba no owuine eminyako-nyaako ku okukola owulootu, osereekwe. Mutatia ewia watiire kandi mutainyaasia mu emioyo yawa.†* 15 Ni mu emioyo giinyu, mute *Kristo awe Omwami. Muwe amankaga enyinga ziona okuirania awantu woona awawawuuzia ekigera ni muandre ku okurindirra okwa muri nakwo.* 16 Ni mukole mutio no owuolu kandi no owuti, emioyo giinyu ni gitawakengera ekiina, kugere awantu awagamba-gamba owuwiiwi ku enkola ziinyu endootu ku Kristo wasuuke no owuweeyi owua wawawoolako.* 17 Kuri kulootu okuinyaasia ku okukola owulootu, ku okuagala okwa Katonda, okukira okuinyaasia ku okukola owuwiiwi. 18 Kristo yoona yafwira owuoni kalala kandi owutuukre. Iye omuntu omulongoole yafwira awooni, kugere awareete ku Katonda. Yaitwa afwa ku omuwiri, ni yawa omulamu kandi ku amaani aga *Omwoyo Omweru* 19 owagera agia okulanzizia emioyo egia awantu awaawanga mu owusiwe.* 20 Awantu awaalowa okuwurra olwa Katonda yarinda no owuoreevu mu amiire aga Noowa yaombokanga owuato. Awantu munaane wengʼene niwo awaanunulwa mu owuato owuo wamizula olumbe olwa omugera.* 21 Amanzi gano gari omufwano ogwa *owubatiiso owua enyinga zino namba inywe muwitamo okununulwa. Owubatiiso wuno ngawuri mala okuozia ikwe ku omuwiri yaaya, ni wuri okuifumizizia Katonda no omwoyo ogutakukengra ekiina. Wuwanunula ni kuwitra ku okuziuka okwa Yesu Kristo* 22 omiire okugia ku igulu kandi aikaale nyakukono okusaaza okwa Katonda, aa *enyankoi ziona, owukangasi wuona alala na amaani goona wiri ansi eya owukangasi wuae.*

1 Kutio ni *Kristo yainyaasia mu omuwiri gwae, mwena muwe na amaingirizio agafwa gatio, aeniki omuntu omiire okuinyaasia mu omuwiri, arekana no owuoni ilala.* 2 Ngawamenya kandi mu okuagala okwa omuwiri, ni wamenya mu okuagala okwa Katonda mu owulamu wuawu wuona owua emberi.* 3 Aeniki mwamala okutoola enyinga ezisugre enyima, ni mukola ewintu ewia awatamanyire Katonda walowola okukola. Mwamenya owulamu owua okuinyonkoonia, owusariimu owua omuwiri, okudungʼa, emigomo emiwiiwi alala no okusawa Katonda ensaasa.* 4 Ni nyingeeno waluguula ino ni watawawona ni muizogaana nawo alala mu owulamu owuwi owua owuteesani, ekintu ekigera ni wawarigizra amanyego. 5 Ni paka wari-irania amangʼana emberi wa Katonda ooza okukengera awalamu na awafu ekiina.* 6 Kino nikio ekiagera ni *injiili elanziziwua namba awantu waamala okufwa. Kukawa mbwe emiwiri giawu giakengerwa ekiina mala kiomo awantu wandi, waalanziziwua injiili eno kugere emioyo giawu gimenye owulamu owutariwua kiomo Katonda ari.*

7 Entuuko eya ewintu wiona eri ampi. Kutio muwe na amaingirizio ameeru kandi muirinde geeza mu enkola kugere muwe mu okusawa.* 8 Owukirre goona, omuntu ki omuntu agonzie omwina waae no olugonzi olwa munsi aeniki olugonzi lusanikra amawi amangi.* 9 Muwe awaingizia awageni geeza no owusiza mu amayumba giinyu aa mutairiizia.* 10 Omuntu ki omuntu asugaane akole ne empanwa eya Katonda yamu-aa okutunzia awandi, kugere atuusie owusiza owua Katonda mu engira ezigawuke-gawuuke.* 11 Na ario omuntu ogamba-gamba, asugaane agamba-gambe na amanyire mbwe awoola amangʼana aga Katonda. Ni no omuntu akola emirimo egia okutunzia awandi, asugaane akole na amaani aga Katonda aesana, kugere Katonda atondowolwe mu ewintu wiona ni kuwitra ku Yesu Kristo. Owunene na amaani wiwe ewiae amiire goona agawula ne entuuko. *Amin.*

Okuinyaasia ku okuwa Omukristo

12 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, mutaluguula ni mudambiiwue no okugeezaniwua okululu, ti ngera ekintu ekiwaikorra kigeni.* 13 Ni muwe awasangaavu mbwe muri alala ni Kristo mu okunyaka-nyaaka kwae, kugere muuze muwe ne ekisangaalo nyanga olwa owunene wuae wurisasulwa.* 14 No onyegwa aeniki oganyire ku eriina eria Kristo, osereekwe aeniki Omwoyo ogwa Katonda owa owunene akuriko.* 15 No otuukra eminyako-nyaako, kutaaza kwawa ki okwa omuntu owaita omuntu namba omwiwi, nakuwa omuntu oona *ensikirra erindre ekialo, nakuwa omuntu ofwa okuingira mu amangʼana aga awandi. 16 Ni, ni muinyaasia aeniki muri Awakristo, mutaaza mwawona ensuuko. Ni mutondowole Katonda aeniki muetwa ne eriina riae.* 17 Enyinga ezia Katonda ezia okukengera awantu waae ekiina zimiire okutuuka. Ni kuri mbwe na awantu waae niwo aaza okutanika nawo, muingirizia mbwe kuuza okuweera awantu awalowa okuingizia injiili owululu owufwana wutie?* 18 Kuri mala kiomo endagano ewoola mbwe,

“Ni kuri kukalu ku awantu awalongoole okununulwa,

19 Kutio, awainyaasia ku okuagala okwa Katonda wasugaane wate okuganya kwawu ku Omulusi waawu otagaluka kandi wasugaane wagie emberi okukola geeza.

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Ebaruwa eya okuwiri eno yajojwa no *Omutumwa Petro na ari Rooma na akiari okuitwa agati eya omwaka ogwa 67 ni 68. Ni yawanga na ari mu owusiwe na akiari okuitwa, Petro yaingirizia amangʼana aga Yesu yamulaga mbwe ngarifwa olumbe olwa owulwire namba owukiire.

Yawalaga mbwe wasugaane wawe no okumanya okuri kuwuene ku Katonda ni *Kristo mala kiomo waalagwa geeza na awatumwa awaagenda-genda ni Yesu. Petro awalaga mbwe okuirana okwa Omwami paka kuikole kukawa mbwe awandi wawoola mbwe ngari-irana. Awalaga mbwe Katonda aira mpola okuirana kwae kuno, aeniki aioreezia kandi ngagala mbwe awantu wateeke mu owuoni, na awa-aa iwaga eria okugaluka okureka owuoni. Aeniki wamanyire mbwe *Owuire owua Omwami wuuza, Petro a-ambia Awakristo amaani mbwe wamenye na amaingirizio amalootu emberi wa Katonda kandi waisikie emioyo namba mu eminyako-nyaako ni warinda owuire owua Yesu ari-iranamo.

1 Inze ni Simioni Petro, *omukurumu kandi *omutumwa owa Yesu *Kristo. Ebaruwa eno mbajojera inywe awantu awari no okuganya ku Kristo okuomerezia ino. Okuganya kwinyu kuri okwa ebeei enkalu mala kiomo okwa turi nakwo. Mwakutuukra aeniki Yesu Kristo ori Katonda kandi Omununuzi iifu ari omuigolovu. 2 Mutuukre owusiza no owuolu owungi owutuukre, okuwitra mu okumanya okwa mumanyire nakwo Katonda alala ni Yesu Omwami iifu.*

Okulowolwa no okuetwa ni Katonda

3 Katonda, ku amaani gaae amangi, amiire okutu-aa ewintu wiona ewia tuagala kugere tumenye owulamu owulootu owusugre emberi waae. Owulamu wuno tuwutuukiire ni kuwitra mu okumanya okwa tumanyire nakwo iye owatueeta tuwe nae mu owunene no owulungi wuae.* 4 Kandi kuno kulagana mbwe amiire okutu-aa empanwa enene kandi endootu eluguulwa eya yaifuuwa mbwe aaza oku-aa awantu awamuganyireko. Yakola otio kugere awantu awamuganyireko wamizule owuoni owuwiiwi owumiire okureetwa no okuagala okwa omuwiri, owua awantu awa ekialo wakola, kandi wawe mu owulala ni Katonda mu enkola ziae.*

5 Kutio ku ewintu ewilootu ewia Katonda amiire okutukorra wino, mukole wukalu kiomo muesa, muwone mbwe ku okuganya okwa muri nakwo ku Katonda muongerezieko enkola endootu; ku enkola endootu muongerezieko okumanya engira ezia Katonda; 6 ku okumanya engira ezia Katonda muongerezieko okuirinda mu enkola; ku okuirinda mu enkola muongerezieko okuwa no olutuunyo mu eminyako-nyaako; ku okuwa no olutuunyo mu eminyako-nyaako muongerezieko okumenya mu owueru owua Katonda; 7 ku okumenya mu owueru owua Katonda muongerezieko omwoyo ogwa owu-aani owua awada; ku omwoyo ogwa owu-aani owua awada muongerezieko okugonzia awantu woona no olugonzi oluri kuwuene.* 8 Aeniki okukoma mu okuwa ne ewintu wino kuwungi, kuuza okuwalowera okuwa awagata kandi awawula ne ensaafu mu okumanya okwa mumanyire nakwo Yesu Kristo. 9 No omuntu-umuntu owula ne ewintu wino, afwanana no omuntu owona a-ampi owa amiiso gaae nagawona geeza. Oyo amiire okulawira mbwe amawi gaae goona aga yakola kale Katonda yamala okumurekera.*

10 Kutio Awakristo awiina wange, mukole wukalu muwone mbwe owulamu wuinyu wulagana mbwe kuwuene Katonda yawalowola kandi yawaeta. Ni mukorre mutio, ngamuri-irana enyima 11 ni muri-ingiziwua mu owuami owua Omwami kandi Omununuzi iifu Yesu Kristo, owutariwua.*

12 Kutio nyiza okuwaweerako ni mbaizurizia ewintu wino, kukawa mbwe muwimanyire geeza kandi mukalanguuke mu amangʼana aga Katonda agari kuwuene aga mwatuukra. 13 Mpingirizia mbwe kuri kulootu ni mbinuriire amangʼana gano ni nkiari omulamu kugere mutagalawira. 14 Aeniki manyire mbwe ndi ampi okureka ekialo kino kiomo *Omwami Yesu Kristo amiire okundaga.* 15 Kutio kugere mutalawira ewintu wino namba ni miire okuwareka, nyiza okukola wukalu kiomo nyesa okugawaizurizia ni nkiario omulamu.

Awantu awaawona owunene owua Yesu Kristo

16 Ifwe awatumwa awa Yesu, ngatukawalaga eminayo egia owuweeyi olwa twawalaga amangʼana aga okuirana okwa Yesu Kristo na amaani aga ariiza nago yaaya. Aeniki ifwe aweene twawona na amiiso giifu ni Katonda amu-aa owunene. 17 Yaeewua owunene no owuti wungi ni Katonda Ise olwa twawurra omwoyo gwae ni guwoola mbwe, “Ono nio Omuzia wange owa ngonziizie kandi owa nsangaarre nae.”† 18 Omwoyo guno twaguwurra ni guema ku igulu olwa twawanga ni Yesu mu ekigiri, asi aeeru aa owunene owua Katonda wuaikira.

Okuirana okwa Yesu na amangʼana aga awagambi

19 Ku ifwe awaawona ewintu wino ni wiikola, amangʼana aga *awagambi awa Katonda gatuweera amalamu ino. Kutio kukaweere kulootu ni muingiizie amangʼana aga awagambi awa Katonda waawoola gano. Ee, mugaingizie ino aeniki amangʼana ago gafwanana ne ekimuri ekimurika mu ekierema nawuno wutuuke owuire wukie, olwa Yesu Engʼeni-ngʼeni eya Kunkio ari-irana, aizuzie emioyo giinyu no owueru wuae.* 20 Kutio owukirre ewintu wiona, musugaane mumanye mbwe awulao omuntu oesa okunawula amangʼana aga awagambi awa Katonda waajoja,* na amaganga gaae omwene. 21 Aeniki awulao omugambi owa Katonda owawoola ingʼana na amaganga gaae omwene yaaya. Ni no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda nio owawalaganga amangʼana agawaemera ku Katonda, aga waawoola.*

Awagerezi awa owuweeyi

1 Kiomo *awagambi awa owuweeyi waawangao agati ya *Awayaudi mu amiire aga kale, nintio awagerezi awa owuweeyi waaza okuwaao agati iinyu. Awantu wano waaza okuwaingiramo owuiwisi ne engerera embiiwi eziona awantu, namba okulowa Omwami *Kristo owawaolorra omusango ogwa amawi. Kino kiiza okugera Katonda awamale wuangu-wuangu.* 2 Ni kukawa kutio, awantu awangi ku inywe waaza okulonda enkola ziawu embiiwi ezia ensuuko kandi kino kiiza okugera awa ekialo watanike okugamba-gamba uwiiwi ku amangʼana amalootu agari kuwuene ku Kristo. 3 Endandiire eya awagerezi awa owuweeyi wano eeza okugera wawasakule ewintu wiinyu ni wawalaga amangʼana agatari kuwuene aga walukre iwo aweene. Ni Katonda yamala okukenga ekiina kiawu kale kandi okumalwa kwawu kuri ampi kuwarindirra.*

4 Katonda ngaaza okureka okuwakorra otio mala kiomo ngakareka okurigiza *enyankoi eziakola owuoni mu owuina aa ziasiwua mu ekierema ni zirinda owuire owua arikengra awantu woona ekiina.* 5 Kandi Katonda ngakareka okuswawuka awantu awa kale awaakola enkola embiiwi, ni yareeta emvula enyingi nawuno amanzi gasanikizia ekialo na awantu woona awawangamo. Yanunula Noowa, omuntu owalaganga awantu okuwa ne enkola endootu, na awantu waae musamvu wengʼene.* 6 Lwona Katonda yakengera emigizi egia Sodooma ni Gomoora ekiina ku okugisamba no omurro nawuno gilala chwe. Yagikorra otio kugere giwe ekilagano ku ekia yaazanga okukorra awantu awatamutiire.* 7 Ni yanunula omuntu omuigolovu oetwa mbwe Luuti, owasinika ne enkola embiiwi ezia owusoodani ezia awantu awataatia *ensikirra wano waakolanga mu emigizi egio.* 8 Omuntu omulootu ono ni yawanga na amenyere agati ya awantu awaoneeke wano, yawiiyirirwa mu omwoyo gwae ino na amangʼana amawiiwi aga waafumianga mu eminwa giawu alala ne enkola emwamu ezitaingira, ezia waakolanga owuire ki owuire.

9 Wino wiona witulaga mbwe *Omwami Katonda ari ne engira ezia okununula awantu awalootu mu eminyako-nyaako egiwaazra. Awooni iwo awaswawuka nawuno kutuuke owuire owua aaza okukengera awantu ekiina:* 10 ino-ino awantu awalonda okuagala okuwiiwi okwa emiwiri giawu kandi awatatiire ensikirra ezia Katonda.

Awagerezi awa owuweeyi wano, na awantu awa ekimage kandi awa amiiso amakalu awataganya ewia awandi. Na awantu awawula owuti kandi awagamba-gamba uwiiwi ku ewintu ewia owunene ewiri ku igulu. 11 Ni namba enyankoi awari na amaani amangi ngawawigamba-gambako owuwiiwi otio enyinga ezia wawi-ingirra emberi wa Katonda.

12 Iwo wagamba-gamba uwiiwi ku ewintu ewia watamanyire namba wutono. Waazakana okukola ewintu ni wataingiriizie mala kiomo entiangʼi ezia mu isaka ezialukurwa okuimiwua no okuitwa. Kiomo entiangʼi ezia mu isaka ziitwa, nintio woona waaza okumalwa chwe. 13 Waaza okuoloolwa emidambo ku emidambo agia wamiire okureeta. Wakola ewintu ewia ensuuko ewinogerezia okuagala okwa emiwiri giawu, omuwasu dula! Kutio ne ensuuko awantu awamwamu wano okuizoga ni inywe mu emigomo giinyu ni muria. Wasangaala ino ni wawaseremezia otio. 14 Amiiso gaawu gaizuule du no owuchege owua owusondo kandi ngawareka okukola owuoni. Wavuwa awantu awari no okuganya okunyowu-nyoowu ni wawaingizia mu enkola ziawu embiiwi. Na awantu awari no oguriira ogwa emiandu, awa Katonda yamala okufuuwa.* 15 Awantu wano wamiire okureka engira endootu watoola engira eya Balaamu omuzia owa Beori, omuntu owagonzia okukola owuoni kugere atuukre amasendi.* 16 Ni Katonda yagera entikiri yaae, entiangʼi etagamba-gamba, egamba-gamba nae no omwoyo ogwa omuntu, ne egaania omugambi owa Katonda ono mbwe atakola enkola eya owulalu eya yagalanga okukola eyo.*

17 Awantu wano wafwanana ne enzuzi ezikamiire namba ifu eri-irwa ne emiyaga. Katonda amiire okuwateerao asi aa akorre ekierema ekimwamu ti. 18 Waitumbula ni wawoola amangʼana amazito-zito aga owumaya agawula ne emirimo. Lwona wakola no okuagala okuwiiwi okwa omuwiri okuvuwa nakwo awantu awa nikwo warekana na awantu awalonda engira eya owuweeyi. 19 Waifuuwa mbwe waaza okugera awantu wawe owuyanga, ni iwo aweene wakiari awasiwe awa okukola enkola embiiwi ziona. Ee aeniki omuntu ki omuntu awa omusiwe owa ekintu-ukintu ekimukirre okureka.* 20 Omuntu na amiire okuema mu owuoni owuwiiwi owua ku ekialo ni kuwitra ku okumanya Omwami kandi Omununuzi iifu Yesu Kristo, na airaanemo kandi, awa uwiiwi okukira kiomo yawanga kuluweri.* 21 Kukaweere kulootu no omuntu ono yareka okumanya engira endootu eri kuwuene eira awantu mu empurizanio ni Katonda, okukira okugimanya kandi yagireka yalaga ensikirra endootu eya yaeewua, omugongo.* 22 Awantu wano watuusia olugero oluwoola mbwe, “Embwa eiraane okumeena amasesemi gayo”† no olundi oluwoola mbwe, “Enguruwe emiire okuoziwua eiraane mu okuikonya mu itosi.”*

Owuire owua okuirana okwa Yesu Kristo

1 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, eno ne ebaruwa yange eya okuwiri. Mu ebaruwa ziange iwiri zino, miire okugeezania wukalu okuwaizurizia amangʼana gano kugere mugaingirizie geeza. 2 Mbajojeere aeniki nyagala mbwe muingirizie ino amangʼana aga *awagambi aweeru awa Katonda waawoola kale. Lwona nyagala mbwe muingirizie *ensikirra eya Omwami kandi Omununuzi iifu Yesu *Kristo yawa-aa ni kuwitra ku *awatumwa waae.

3 Owusookere nyagala mumanye mbwe mu amiire aga entuuko, awantu wariwaao awarilonda okuagala okuwiiwi okwa emiwiri giawu. Awantu wano wariwasekera** 4 ni wawalaga watino, “Kane Omwami iinyu ngayawoola mbwe agia okuirana? Ariai? Waasoifu waafwa kale, ni nakatio kiwulao ekimiire okuikola. Ewintu wikiari wuri mala kiomo wimiire okuwa okueamerra ekialo kialukwa.”* 5 Walowa ni kandi wamanyire geeza mbwe mu owutanikro Katonda yaluka ekialo ni igulu ni kuema ku amangʼana aga yawoola. Ekialo kialukwa na amanzi kandi kiaema mu amanzi* 6 kandi amanzi aga omugera nigo aga Katonda yakola nago okuona ekialo ekikulu.* 7 Ku amangʼana amalala aga Katonda yawoola ago, ekialo ni igulu ewia nyingeeno wino wiwikiirwe okuuza okumalwa no omurro. Nyanga olwo nilwo awantu awatatiire Katonda warikengerwa ekiina kandi wamalwe chwe.

8 Ni inywe awiiko wange, nyagala mumanye mbwe Katonda agawuuke ni ifwe ale ku okuwala amiire. Ku Katonda owuire wulala wuagana ne emiaka elufu kilala, kandi emiaka elufu kilala giagana no owuire wulala.* 9 Kutio *Omwami Katonda akiari okukinzia okuirana okwa Yesu yaifuuwa mbwe aaza okuirana, kiomo awandi wakutoola. Ni aiira mpola kugere awantu woona wagaluuke waeme mu amawi, watamalwa.*

10 No owuire owua okuirana okwa Yesu wurituuka owuiwisi mala kiomo omwiwi aaza yaiwa na awantu watamanyire. Nyanga olwo, igulu alala ne ewintu wiona ewiri ku igulu wiriteeka mu amiiso ne erioga eringi ino kandi wirionwa no omurro nawuno wiwue chwe. Ekialo ne ewintu wiona ewirimo wiona wiriteeka.**

11 Ni kuri mbwe ewintu wino wiona wiiza okuonwa otio, katio ifwe tusugaane tumenye owulamu owufwana wutie? Tusugaane tuwe awantu aweeru kandi awa-ambre amangʼana aga Katonda wukalu, 12 ni turindirra ni turi no okuagala mu emioyo giifu mbwe owuire owua okuirana okwa Yesu wuanguye. Nyanga olwo, igulu ririsambwa rionwe kandi ewintu ewiri ku igulu wiona wirisalaziwua no owuyu ki amavuta. 13 Ni ifwe turindirra okuuza okwa ekialo ekiyia ni igulu iyia, ewia Katonda yaifuuwa mbwe wiiza okuwaao, aa awantu awigolovu emberi waae warimenya.*

14 Kutio awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, aeniki wino wiiza okuikola, mukole wukalu muwone mbwe na aaza okuirana, aaze awatuukre ni muri awantu aweeru awawula no owuoni namba embala kandi awari no owuolu wuae mu emioyo giinyu.

15 Muwe no okumanya mbwe okui-ira mpola okwa Omwami, ni iwaga eria awaeere kugere mutuukre owuinunuzi mala kiomo wamwifu Paulo yawajojera na akola na amaganga aga Katonda yamu-aa.* 16 Kino nikio ekintu ekia yawoola mu ebaruwa ziae ziona ni yajojanga ku amangʼana gano. Wirio ewintu windi ewikalu okuwurra mu ebaruwa ezia Paulo ewia awantu awari no okumanya okutono kandi awa emioyo eminyowu-nyoowu walagirizia amagarikira mala kiomo wagarikira amangʼana gandi goona agari mu endagano. Kandi ekintu ekia wakola ekio kiiza okugera Katonda awamale.

17 Ni inywe awiiko wange mumiire okumanya amangʼana gano kale. Kutio muwe amankaga kugere awantu awatatiire ensikirra wano, watawasemerezia na amangʼana aga wagarikira gano, ni wawalaga mbwe muirane enyima mureke okuganya okulamu okwa muri nakwo kuno.* 18 Ni mugie emberi okukoma mu owusiza no okumanya engira ezia Omwami kandi Omununuzi iifu Yesu Kristo. Aewue owunene nyingeeno ni mumiire goona. *Amin.**

Mutaaza mwagonzia ekialo

15 Mutaaza mwagonzia ekialo namba ewintu ewiri ku ekialo. No omuntu agonziizie ekialo, ngagonziizie Katonda Ise,‡ yaaya.* 16 Ni kutio aeniki ewintu wiona ewiri ku ekialo, kiomo okuizula no okuagala okwa omuwiri ne ewintu ewisangaazia mala amiiso, alala no okuitumbula okwa awantu waitumbula ne ewintu ewia wari nawio nakuwa ewia wakola, wiona wiema mala ku ekialo, ni ngʼani ku Katonda, yaaya.* 17 Ekialo ne ewintu ewiriko wiona wiiza okuwua.

Awazigu awa Kristo

18 Waana wange, zino nizio enyinga ezia owutuuko. Mala kiomo mumiire okuwurra mbwe omuntu olwania Kristo aaza okuuza. Namba nyingeeno awamulwania awangi wamiire okuuza. Kandi kino nikio ekigera ni tumanya mbwe turi mu amiire aga owutuuko.* 19 Awantu wano waatusomoka watureka.

22 Katio omuweeyi naanu? Ari omuntu olowa mbwe Yesu ngaari Omulowole owa Katonda. Omuntu ofwana oyo nio olwania Kristo kandi alowa Katonda Ise alala ni Katonda Omuzia oona.* 23 Awulao-uwula omuntu okawa ni Katonda, ni kandi alowa Omuzia waae. Oganyire Omuzia owa Katonda, ari ni Katonda Ise oona.*

24 Mukole wukalu muwone mbwe muandre ku amangʼana aga mwamiire okuwa ni muwurra okuemera kuluweri. Ni mukorre mutio, nikwo muuza okugia emberi okuanda ku Katonda ni ku Omuzia waae yoona.* 25 Kandi Kristo omwene yaifuuwa mbwe aaza okutu-aa owulamu owutariwua.*

26 Mbajojera amangʼana gano ku amangʼana aga awantu awaagala okuwatoola ku engira endootu. 27 Ni inywe Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda owa Yesu Kristo yawafukako awarimo kandi kiwulao ekia muagarra omuntu wundi awagerere.

28 Kutio waana wange, mugie emberi mu okuganya ku Kristo kugere nyanga na ari-irana ensuuko zitatuamba. Ni tugie emberi waae no owusiani mu okuirana kwae.* 29 Aeniki mumanyire mbwe Kristo ari omulongoole, mumanyire lwona mbwe awantu woona awakola ewintu ewisugre emberi wa Katonda wari awaana awa Katonda.*

1 Muwoneko kiomo olugonzi olwa Katonda ari nalwo ni ifwe, luri olukaate! Olugonzi olwo nilwo olugera ni tuetwa awaana awa Katonda. Kandi ni kuwuene mbwe turi awaana waae. Ne ekigera na awantu awa ekialo ngawatumanyire, kiri mbwe yoona ngawakamumanya, yaaya.* 2 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, ifwe twona nyingeeno turi awaana awa Katonda. Kukawa kutio, tukiari okumanyisiwua kiomo tuuza okufwanana, yaaya. Ne ekia tumanyire ni mbwe *Kristo na aaza okuirana, turifwanana nae aeniki tuuza okumuwona kiomo ariwa.* 3 Omuntu-umuntu ori no okurindirra kuno, aieruyia iye omwene, awe omweru mala kiomo Kristo ari omweru.

4 Omuntu-umuntu okola owuoni aona *ensikirra eya Katonda, aeniki okukola owuoni no okuona ensikirra. 5 Mumanyire mbwe Kristo yaaza kugere atutooleko amawi giifu kandi mbwe iye awulamo owuoni, namba wutono.* 6 Awulao omuntu omenyere ku Kristo ogia emberi na akola owuoni. Omuntu-umuntu ogia emberi na akola owuoni, iye akiari okumuwona lwona ngamumanyire.*

7 Waana wange, mutaaza mwaganya omuntu yawasemerezia. Omuntu-umuntu okola ewintu ewisugre emberi wa Katonda, ari omuigolovu mala kiomo Kristo ari omuigolovu. 8 Omuntu-umuntu okola owuoni ari owa *Sataani, aeniki Sataani amiire okuweerako na akola owuoni okuemera mu owutanikro. Kandi Omuzia owa Katonda yaaza kugere aone emirimo egia Sataani.* 9 Awulao omuntu ori omwana owa Katonda, ogia emberi okumenya mu owuoni, aeniki emwo endootu eya Katonda emurimo. Ngaesa okugia emberi okumenya mu owuoni aeniki ari omwana owa Katonda. 10 Eno nie engira eya tugawula nayo awaana awa Katonda na awaana awa Sataani: Omuntu-umuntu otakola ewintu ewisugre emberi wa Katonda ngari omwana owa Katonda. Lwona owula no olugonzi no omwina waae ngari omwana owa Katonda.*

Mugonzanie omuntu no omwina waae

11 Owutumwa owua mumiire okuwurra okuemera mu owutanikro wuri mbwe tusugaane tugonzanie omuntu no omwina waae.* 12 Mutafwana ni Kaini owawanga owa Sataani, kandi owaita wamwawu waae. Ne ekiagera na amuita niki? Yamuita aeniki enkola ziae ziawanga embiiwi, ne ezia wamwawu waae ziawanga endootu.*

13 Waamwifu, mutaaza mwawa no okuluguula ni muwona awantu awa ekialo ni wawaregere.* 14 Ifwe tumanyire mbwe tumiire okuambuka tuema mu olumbe tuingira mu owulamu. Ekitulaga tutio, no okugonzia okwa tugonziizie awiina wiifu. No omuntu-umuntu owula no olugonzi no omwina waae, iye akiari mu olumbe.* 15 Omuntu-umuntu oregere omwina waae ari omwisi. Ni mumanyire mbwe awulao omwisi ori no owulamu owutariwua.*

16 Okufumia okwa Yesu Kristo yatufumizia owulamu wuae kugera ni tumanya geeza ekia olugonzi luri. Kutio twona tusugaane tufumizie awiina wiifu owulamu wuifu.* 17 No omuntu ari ne ekintu mu amakono ekia aesa okutunzia nakio omwina waae ori amakono amasa, ni iye amuima chee, ao otio akawa no olugonzi olwa Katonda otie?* 18 Waana wange, mutureke okugonzia awiina wiifu mala ne eminwa nakuwa na amangʼana amasa, ni mutuwe nawo no olugonzi olwa kuwuene, oluri ne enkola.* 19 Mu engira eno, tuesa twamanya mbwe tumenyere mu owuene kandi tuuza okuwa no owusiani okuimerra emberi wa Katonda. 20 Aeniki namba ne emioyo giifu gitukengera ekiina mbwe turi awooni, Katonda ari omunene okukira emioyo giifu kandi amanyire ewintu wiona.

21 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, ne emioyo giifu gitatukengera ekiina mbwe turi awooni, tuwa no owusiani emberi wa Katonda kandi* 22 atu-aa ekintu-ukintu ekia tumusawire aeniki turindre ensikirra ziae kandi tukola ekintu ekimusangaazia.* 23 Ensikirra yazane eri mbwe tuganye ku eriina eria Omuzia waae Yesu Kristo, kandi mbwe tugonzanie omuntu no omwina waae kiomo yatusikirra.* 24 Awantu awarindre ensikirra ziae, wamumenyeremo kandi yoona awamenyeremo. Kandi *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda owa yatu-aa, nio ogera ni tumanya mbwe atumenyeremo.*

Omwoyo ogwa kuwuene no ogwa owuweeyi

1 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, mutaaza mwaganya awantu woona awawoola-uwoola ne eminwa mbwe wari no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda. Ni mugeezaanie emioyo egia wari nagio egio kugere mumanye ni kuri kuwuene mbwe giema ku Katonda nakuwa yaaya. Paka tukole tutio aeniki *awagambi awa owuweeyi awangi wamiire okuuza ku ekialo.* 2 Engira eya oesa okumanyirimo mbwe omuntu ari no Omwoyo Omweru oemere ku Katonda ngino: Omuntu ori no omwoyo oguganya mbwe Yesu *Kristo yaaza ku ekialo kuno mu omuwiri ogwa omuntu, ari no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.* 3 No omuntu-umuntu ori no omwoyo ogulowa Yesu Kristo, iye awula no Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda. Omuntu ki oyo ari no omwoyo oguema ku omuzigu olwania Kristo, owa mwamiire okuwurra mbwe aaza ku ekialo. Kandi muwe no okumanya mbwe waamiire okuuza namba nyingeeno wari ku ekialo.*

4 Awaana wange awa ngonziizie, inywe muri awa Katonda kandi mumiire okukira awagambi awa owuweeyi wano woona. Muwakirre aeniki Kristo owarimo, ari omunene okukira *Sataani ori mu awantu awa ekialo.* 5 Wari awantu awa ekialo, kutio wagamba-gamba ki awantu awa ekialo, kandi awantu awa ekialo wawategerezia. 6 Ni ifwe turi awantu awa Katonda kandi awamanyire Katonda niwo awategerezia amangʼana giifu. Omuntu-umuntu otamanyire Katonda ngatutegerezia, yaaya. Nintio tumanya okugawula Omwoyo owa kuwuene no omwoyo owa owuweeyi.*

Olugonzi olwa Katonda no olugonzi lwifu

7 Awiiko wange, mutugonzanie omuntu no omwina waae, aeniki olugonzi luema ku Katonda. Omuntu-umuntu ogonziizie omwina waae, ari omwana owa Katonda kandi amanyire Katonda. 8 No omuntu otagonziizie omwina waae, iye ngamanyire Katonda yaaya aeniki Katonda no olugonzi. 9 Katonda yagera olugonzi olwa ari nalwo ni ifwe luwonekana geeza agati iifu, ku okutuma okwa yatuma Omuzia waae omulala engʼene ku ekialo, kugere ni kuwitra ku iye, tutuukre owulamu. 10 Olugonzi olwene, ngʼani mbwe ni ifwe awaagonzia Katonda, yaaya. Ni luri mbwe Katonda nio owatugonzia mala atuma Omuzia waae okuuza okutuweera omusango ogwa okufumia amawi giifu.**

11 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, aeniki Katonda yatugonzia tutio, kane twona tusugaane tugonzanie omuntu no omwina waae.* 12 Awulao omuntu omiire okuwona Katonda. Kukawa kutio, ni tugonzaanie na awiina wiifu, Katonda atumenyamo kandi olugonzi lwae lutuuka kuwuene mu owulamu wuifu.*

13 Tumanyire mbwe tumumenyeremo kandi yoona atumenyeremo, aeniki amiire okutu-aa Omwoyo gwae Omweru.* 14 Ifwe twawona na amiiso kandi tulaga awantu woona mbwe Katonda Ise yatuma Omuzia waae okuuza okuwa Omununuzi owa awantu woona awari ku ekialo.* 15 No omuntu aganyire mbwe Yesu ari Omuzia owa Katonda, Katonda amumenyamo kandi iye yoona amumenyeremo.* 16 Kutio tumanyire kandi tuteere emioyo giifu ku olugonzi olwa Katonda ari nalwo ni ifwe.

Katonda no olugonzi, kandi omuntu-umuntu omenyere na awandi no olugonzi, omuntu oyo amenyere ku Katonda kandi Katonda oona amumenyeremo.* 17 Eno nio engira eya olugonzi olwa Katonda lutuuka kuwuene agati iifu. Kuno kuuza okugera tuwe awasiani owuire owua Kristo arikengra awantu ekiina. Ni kutio aeniki, mu owulamu wuifu ku ekialo kino, tufwanana ni Kristo.* 18 Wuwulao-uwula owuti aa olugonzi luri. Olugonzi oluri kuwuene lutoolao owuti aeniki okuswawukwa nikwo okureeta owuti. No omuntu ari no owuti, ao otio olugonzi olwa Katonda lukiari okutuuka kuwuene mu owulamu wuae.

19 Katonda nio owasooka okutugonzia kandi okwo nikwo okugera ni tumugonziizie kandi tugonziizie awiina wiifu.

20 No omuntu awoola mala no omunwa mbwe, “Ngonziizie Katonda,” ne eno aregere omwina waae, omuntu oyo ari omuweeyi. Omuntu owula no olugonzi no omwina waae owa awona, iye akagonzia otie Katonda awa akiari okuwona?* 21 Kristo omwene yasikirra mbwe omuntu-umuntu ogonziizie Katonda paka agonzie omwina waae yoona.*

Okuwa no okuganya ku Yesu kureeta owulamu

1 Omuntu-umuntu ori no okuganya mbwe Yesu nio Omulowole owa Katonda, ari omwana owa Katonda. Lwona omuntu-umuntu ogonziizie Katonda Ise, agonziizie Omuzia waae yoona.* 2 Tuesa okumanya mbwe tugonziizie awaana awa Katonda ni tugonziizie Katonda kandi ni turindre *ensikirra ziae. 3 Aeniki, okugonzia Katonda no okurinda ensikirra ziae kandi ensikirra ziae ngaziri enkalu ziifu okurinda.* 4 Ni kutio aeniki awaana awa Katonda woona wakira ekialo. Kandi owukire wuno wureetwa no okuganya okwa turi nakwo ku *Kristo.* 5 Oesa okukira ekialo naanu katio? Ni mala ori no okuganya mbwe Yesu ari Omuzia owa Katonda engʼene.*

Awasigiki awa Yesu Kristo

6 Yesu Kristo ono, nio owaaza ni kuwitra mu amasaai na amanzi. Mu okuuza kwae, ngakawitra mu amanzi gengʼene, ni yawitra mu amanzi na amasaai. Kandi *Omwoyo Omweru nio osigika amangʼana gano, aeniki Omwoyo Omweru ari kuwuene.* 7 Ni kutio aeniki awagasigika wari wasatu: 8 Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda, amanzi na amasaai, kandi woona waganyana ku ekingʼana kino.*

9 Tutoola amangʼana aga awantu wawoola ki agari kuwuene. Kutio tusugaane tu-ee amangʼana aga Katonda omwene awoola ku Omuzia waae owuzito okukira. 10 Omuntu ki omuntu ori no okuganya ku Omuzia owa Katonda asigika ekingʼana kino mu omwoyo gwae. No omuntu owula no okuganya ku Omuzia owa Katonda, atoola Katonda ki omuweeyi aeniki alowere okuwa no okuganya ku amangʼana aga Katonda omwene nio owoorre ku Omuzia waae.* 11 Amangʼana agasigikwa gano gari mbwe Katonda amiire okutu-aa owulamu owutariwua kandi owulamu owuo wutuukrwa ku Omuzia waae. 12 Omuntu-umuntu ori no Omuzia owa Katonda mu omwoyo gwae ari no owulamu. No omuntu owula no Omuzia owa Katonda mu omwoyo awula no owulamu owuo chee.*

Owulamu owutariwua

13 Mbajojera amangʼana gano, inywe awantu awari no okuganya ku eriina eria Omuzia owa Katonda, kugere muwe no okumanya mbwe muri no owulamu owutariwua.* 14 Turi no owusiani emberi wa Katonda mbwe ni tumusawire ekintu-ukintu, kikawa ki, nikulondokana no okuagala kwae, atuwurra. 15 Kandi kiomo tumanyire mbwe awurra okusawa kwifu otio, tuwa no okumanya mbwe ewintu ewia tumusawire wiona, tumiire okutuukra.**

16 No omuntu awuine waamwawu waae ku Kristo na akola owuoni owutaira omuntu mu olumbe, omuntu oyo asugaane amusawire Katonda kandi Katonda aaza oku-aa omuntu okorre owuoni oyo owulamu. Ngamba-gamba ku awantu awari no owuoni owutaira omuntu mu olumbe. Ni wurio owuoni owuira omuntu mu olumbe. Ngʼamboola mbwe omuntu asawire omuntu okorre owuoni owufwana wutio.* 17 Ewintu ewiwiiwi wiona ewia awantu wakola wiri owuoni. Ni wurio owuoni owutaira omuntu mu olumbe.

18 Tumanyire mbwe awulao omwana owa Katonda, ogia emberi na akola-ukola owuoni. Kuri kutio aeniki Kristo owaiwulwa na amaani aga Katonda, amurinda kandi okwo kulowera *Ekikeeno okumuambako.* 19 Tumanyire mbwe ifwe turi awaana awa Katonda, ne ekialo kiona kikangatiirwe ne Ekikeeno.* 20 Lwona tumanyire mbwe Omuzia owa Katonda yamiire okuuza kandi amiire okutu-aa owuesani owua okuwurra, kugere tumanye Katonda omulala owa kuwuene. Kandi owulamu wuifu wuri ku Omuzia waae Yesu Kristo, ori kuwuene. Kristo ono nio Katonda owa kuwuene kandi nio owulamu owutariwua.*

2 YOWAANA

Ebaruwa eya okuwiri eya

YOWAANA

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Ebaruwa eya okuwiri eno yajojwa ni Yowaana omuntu omulala owajoja ebaruwa esookere kandi mu emiaka emilala (wona amangʼana ku owuimpi owua 1 Yowaana).

Ebaruwa eno yajojerwa Awakristo awa ekaniisa eya omujoji yawisa eriina yayo. Amiire ago Awakristo waanyaasiwuanga, kutio waaikumianga owuiwisi kugere watamanyika. Yowaana agieta ne eriina eria okugiwisa mbwe ‘omukazi omulowole’ na awantu awagirimo awaeta mbwe ‘awaana awa omukazi omulowole.’ Ne ekaniisa eri aa Yowaana ari enyinga ezia ajoja agieta mbwe ‘wamwawu omukazi omulowole.’ Namba iye omwene oona aieta mbwe ‘omugaaka omukulu’ kugere atamanyika.

Mu ebaruwa eno, Yowaana a-ambia awantu wano amaani mbwe wa-ande ku *ensikirra eya olugonzi eya Yesu yalanzia, kandi eya wamiire okumanya okuema owuire owua waawurra *injiili. Lwona awasiagizia mbwe wawe na amaingirizio amalootu kugere wagawule engerera eya kuwuene ne eya owuweeyi. Okwo kuuza okugera wataezania-wuezania ewintu wiawu ku omuntu owaazreko ni injiili ni watamumanyire, aeniki aguma okuwa omugerezi owa owuweeyi owa agamba-gambako mu ebaruwa esookere.

1 Inze omugaaka Yowaana, nkujojera ebaruwa eno, iwue omukazi omulowole kandi otiirwe, alala na awaana waao. Mbagonziizie mwona no olugonzi oluri kuwuene, kandi ngʼani inze owagonziizie otio nyengʼene, ni namba awantu woona awamanyire owuene, woona wawagonziizie.* 2 Ni kutio aeniki owuene owua tumenyeremo kandi owuuza okuwa ni ifwe amiire goona, niwuo owutu-aa owuesani owua okugonzia otio: 3 Owusiza, amasaasra alala no owuolu wiiza okuwa ni ifwe ku owuene no olugonzi, ni wituemera ku Katonda Ise ni Yesu *Kristo, Omuzia owa Soifu Katonda.

4 Kimiire okuwa ekisangaalo kiange ino, okutuukra awandi ku awaana waao ni wamenyere mu engira eri kuwuene, mala kiomo Soifu Katonda yatusikirra mbwe tumenye.*

5 Nyingeeno, iwue omukazi otiirwe kandi owa ngonziizie, inze ngʼankujojera ensikirra indi empia yaaya, ni mala enkulu eya tumiire okuwa nayo okuemera mu owutanikro. Nsawa mbwe, ifwe awari no okuganya ku Kristo, tugonzanie omuntu no omwina waae. 6 Kandi olugonzi olwene olwa ngamba-gambako luno, luri okulondokana ne ensikirra yaae. Ne ensikirra eene, ne eya mumiire okuwurra okuemera mu owutanikro, ewoola mbwe mumenye no olugonzi.**

7 Awantu awangi awasemerezia awantu kandi awalowa mbwe Yesu Kristo nakaaza ku ekialo mu omuwiri ogwa omuntu, wamiire okufuma enze waingira mu ekialo kiona. Omuntu ki oyo asemerezia awantu kandi ari omuzigu owa Kristo.* 8 Wa amankaga kugere otateesia omugawo ogwa Katonda aaza okuesana, ogwa omiire okukorra emirimo na amaani, no ogutuukre gwona. 9 Omuntu otambuka engerera endamu kandi ota-ambre engerera eya Kristo, iye ngari ni Katonda. No omuntu-umuntu oambre engerera ezio, ari ni Katonda Ise alala no Omuzia waae oona.* 10 No omuntu akuuzreko ne engerera indi ensaasa egawuuke ne eno, otamuingizia mu enyumba yaao namba okumukeezia otamukeezia.* 11 Okuingizia omuntu ki oyo, no okuizoga nae mu enkola embiiwi ezia akola.

12 Ndi na amangi aga okukujojera, ni nanyagala okukola ni itu ne einki, yaaya. Aa okukola otio, nindra okuuza okuwagenia, ngamba-gambe ni inywe omunwa no omunwa, kugere owusangaavu owua turi nawuo wuwe owuizuule du!*

Ebaruwa eya okusatu eno yajojwa ni Yowaana omulala owajoja ebaruwa ezia Yowaana esookere ne eya okuwiri, kandi mu emiaka emilala egio. (Warrako amangʼana ku owuimpi owua 1 Yowa.)

Mu ebaruwa eya okusatu eno, Yowaana asiagizia omukangasi owa ekaniisa oetwa Diotreefa, owalowa okuingizia *awatumwa awa Yowaana yawatumako. Lwona awantu awaaingizia awatumwa awo mu amayumba gaawu, yarumusia mu ekaniisa eyo. Omuntu oetwa Gausi nio owawaingizia kukawa mbwe ngakawanga na awamanyire. Kutio, Yowaana yajoja itu rino okuambia Gausi amaani mu emirimo giae egia olugonzi, kandi yagi-aa omuntu oetwa mbwe Demetriasi okugiirra Gausi.

Amakeezio agasookere

1 Inze omugaaka Yowaana, ebaruwa eno nkujojera iwue Gaayo omwiko wange owa ngonziizie no olugonzi olwa kuwuene.* 2 Omwiko wange owa ngonziizie, nkusawira Katonda mbwe owulamu wuao owua omuwiri wuwe owulootu kandi mbwe ewintu wiona wigie ni iwue geeza, mala kiomo osonga okugia geeza mu owulamu wuao owua mu omwoyo. 3 Nyawa ne ekisangaalo ino olwa waamwifu wandi ku *Kristo waaza eno, wawoola kiomo muandre ku owuene kandi mbwe mugia emberi no okumenya owulamu owuisigiike ku owuene owuo.* 4 Mbula ne ekimpa owusangaavu okukira okuwurra mbwe awaana wange wamenyere owulamu owuisigiike ku owuene.

Yowaana atondowola Gausi

5 Omwiko wange owa ngonziizie, oandre ku okukorra waamwifu ku Kristo owulootu, kukawa mbwe wari awageni ku iwue, ngowamanyire. 6 Wamiire okulaga ekaniisa ku olugonzi olwa ogonziizie nalwo awantu. Okola geeza ino no owasewula mu engira esugre emberi wa Katonda, ni wawaemako.*

7 Ne eriina eria Yesu Kristo nirio eriagera ni wafumira emirimo egia Katonda kandi wuwulao-uwula owuitunzi owua waatuukra okuema ku awantu awawula no okuganya ku Katonda. 8 Kutio ifwe Awakristo tusugaane tuwaingizie geeza mu amayumba giifu, kiomo engira ndala eya tuesa okukorramo alala kugere owuene wuwonekane.*

Diotreefa omukangasi omuwiiwi

9 Kukawa mbwe miire okujojera ekaniisa ku amangʼana gano, Diotreefa omuntu ogonziizie oku-ita emberi, yalowa asiriisia okuwa ni ifwe alala ku ekingʼana kino. 10 Kutio ni nyiza okuuza, nyiza okuta emberi iinyu ewintu wiona ewia amiire okuwa na akola. Ee, amiire okuwa na atuwoolako amangʼana amawiiwi aga owuweeyi. Ago gengʼene ngagamusuga, na alowa namba okuingizia awiina wiifu ku Kristo kandi alowera awantu awagala okukola otio kandi awasomosia mu ekaniisa!

11 Omwiko wange owa ngonziizie, otaaza waganya okulonda enkola embiiwi, ni gia emberi okulonda enkola endootu. Omuntu-umuntu owa enkola endootu ari omuntu owa Katonda. No omuntu-umuntu owa enkola embiiwi, ari omuntu okiari okuwona Katonda.*

12 Demetriasi, iye awantu woona wamugamba-gambako geeza kandi owuene wuazane wuona wumugamba-gambako geeza. Ifwe twona tumugamba-gambako geeza kandi omanyire mbwe ewia tuwoola wiona wiri kuwuene.

Amakeezio agatuukre

13 Ndi na amangi aga okukujojera, ni nanyagala okukola otio ni itu ne einki, yaaya. 14 Nindra okuuza okuwawona wuangu ano, nyize ngamba-gambe ni inywe omunwa no omunwa.*

YUUDA

Ebaruwa eya

YUUDA

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Kiomo awoola omwene mu ebaruwa eno, omujoji ni Yuuda wamwawu Yakoobo. Yuuda ono nio okawa wamwawu Yesu omutono ku waamwawu waae wane (Math 13:55). Yajoja ebaruwa eno ku Awakristo wandi awatawoorrwe muno mu emiaka egia 65–70. Okufwanana okwa amangʼana agari mu ebaruwa eno (4–18) ne ebaruwa eya 2 Petro ekika ekia 2, kulagana mbwe andi omujoji yamala okusoma ebaruwa eya 2 Petro. Amangʼana gandi aga mu ebaruwa eya Yuuda eno (14–15) gaasimuka okuema mu ebuuki eya Enooka eyawanga ebuuki emanyiike agati eya *Awayaudi na Awakristo Awayaudi.

Yuuda a-ambia awantu awaganyire ku *Kristo amaani mbwe wawe ale na awagerezi awa owuweeyi awanyola mpoola waaingira mu ekaniisa ni wagerera awantu owuweeyi kandi wamenyere owulamu owuta-aa Katonda owunene. Awantu wano waagereranga mbwe okununulwa ku owusiza kuwata owuyanga okugia emberi okukola owuoni, aeniki ngawaaza okuwalrwa owuoni owuo. Waagalusianga engerera eya owusiza owua Katonda amagarikira. Yuuda awasiagizi mbwe Katonda aaza okuwakengera ekiina ekiwiiwi ni watarekere okuteesia awantu awa nikwo wakalanguka mu owulamu owua okuganya.

1 Ni inze Yuuda owemirimo owa Yesu *Kristo kandi wamwawu Yakoobo. Mbajojera inywe awantu awaeterwe ni Katonda Ise, awa agonziizie kandi awarindrwe ni Yesu Kristo.*

2 Mutuukre amagongi, owuolu no olugonzi okuema ku Katonda kuwungi.*

Awagerezi awa owuweeyi

3 Awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, nyaweerenga no okuagala okwa okuwajojera amangʼana ku owuinunuzi owua turimo twona alala wuno. Ni katio kunnigirizia mbwe nyingeeno mbajojere ni mba-ambia amaani mbwe muambe wukalu okulwanra okuganya okutasongwako okundi okwa Katonda ya-aa awantu waae.* 4 Mboola otio aeniki wario awantu, awaamala okujojerwa ekiina ekia olumbe kale, awamiire okuwaingiramo owuiwisi ni mutamanyire. Wari awantu awatatiire Katonda, awawoola mbwe aeniki Katonda ari omusiza, awantu wari iwaga okukola-ukola owusondo kiomo wawuine. Okulowa kwona walowa Yesu Kristo, owa engʼene nio Omukangasi kandi Omwami iifu.*

5 Kukawa mbwe mumanyire wino wiona, ni nyagala okuwaizurizia kiomo *Omwami Katonda yanunula awantu waae — awaana awa Israeli, mala awatoola mu ekialo ekia Misiri. Ni kukawa kutio, lunyima yaita awantu woona ku iwo, awataamuganyako.* 6 Lwona, muingirizieko kiomo *enyankoi awataarinda emigawo eminene egia Katonda yawa-aa, ni aa okukola otio waafuma wareka omugizi gwawu aweene. Okwo okwagera Katonda awasiwa ne eminyororo egitakiriiya amiire goona mu ekierema ekimwamu ti-ti-ti, aa warindirramo Owuire owunene owua ekiina.

7 Nintio kwaweera awantu awa emigizi egia Sodooma ni Gomoora, alala ne emigizi egiawanga ampi nagio, awaaita mu owusoodani no okuitala. Katonda yawaswawuka, kiwe ekilago ku awantu awarigizwa mu omurro ogutafwa amiire goona.

8 Mu engira emfwanani eyo, awantu awafwa okuloota-loota wano waona emiwiri giawu. Ngawatiire amangʼana aga awakangasi waawu, lwona wagamba-gamba uwiiwi ku ewintu ewiri ku igulu. 9 Ni namba omukangasi owa enyankoi oetwa mbwe *Mikaeli, ni yalwananga ne *Ekikeeno ku omuwiri ogwa Muusa, ngakaitulumula mbwe aki-ingirra na akirigizra amangʼana aga amanyego yaaya. Ni yakilaga mala mbwe, “Omwami Katonda omwene akugaanie!”* 10 Na awantu wano, iwo wafwa okunyega-nyega unyega-nyega kugia ewintu ewia watamanyire alala ne ewia watoola mbwe wamanyire namba ni wakiari okuingirizia geeza. Wafwana ne entiangʼi ezitaingirizia amangʼana — kandi ewia wakola wino niwio ewigera Katonda na awamala. 11 Katonda ariswawuka awantu awalondere olunyaafwa olwa Kaini awo ino. Waazakana okuagala okufuna amasendi mu engira etasugaane eya Balaamu. Kandi Katonda awamala kiomo yaita awantu awaaizoga ni Koora mu okulwania owukangasi.* 12 Awantu wano ni awaizogaane ni inywe enyinga ezia muria isawo eria okuingirizia olugonzi olwa Omwami, wawafwanako egaasi emuamia enguwo. Wari awantu awawula-uwula ensuuko namba wutono — awaayi awairiisia mala iwo aweene. Wawula emirimo ki amare aga emiyaga giira eno ne eno, ni ngagareeta emvula. Lwona wafwana emiti egita-ama ensaafu namba mu entwigo. Emiti egisugre no okuiiywa na amasina, gifwe toko-toko.* 13 Ee, wafumia enze ewintu ewia ensuuko ewia wakola, mala kiomo amasiira amakate-kaate gafumia ifulo, enyanza ne ewiiyire. Wari mala kiomo engʼeni-ngʼeni ezirumuka, Katonda awawikiire ekierema ekimwamu ti-ti-ti, amiire goona.**

14 Enooka ekiichimbiriiri owa Adaamu owa musamvu, yagamba-gamba ku awantu wano kale otino, “Awiifu muwoneko, Omwami na aaza no omurima omukaate ogwa enyankoi waae aweeru.* 15 Aaza okukengera awantu woona ekiina, kandi okugera awantu awatatiire Katonda waganye ne enkola ziawu embiiwi ezia wamiire okumukorra alala na amangʼana amawiiwi goona aga wamiire okumuwoolako!”*

16 Awantu wano na awangʼongʼooni kandi enyinga ziona waagala mala engira ezia waka-ambramo awandi owuoni. Walonda okuagala okuwiiwi okwa wari nakwo kandi waitumbula. Wawoorra awantu mala ewintu ewiwasangaazia, kugere watuusie okuagala kwawu iwo aweene.

Ekia Awakristo wasugaane wakole

17 Ni inywe awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, mutaaza mwalawira ewintu ewia *awatumwa awa Yesu Kristo waawoola mbwe wiazanga okuikola. 18 Waawalaga watino, “Mu amiire aga owutuuko, wariwaao awantu awariwatoola wutono ku okuganya okwa muri nakwo ku Katonda, iwo aweene ni walonda okuagala kwawu okutasugaane emberi wa Katonda.” 19 Wano niwo awantu awareeta engawuzi agati iinyu. Wakola mala ewintu ewia emiwiri giawu giwaira okukola kandi wawula no *Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda.**

20 Ni inywe awiiko wange awa ngonziizie, muiyomboke mu okuganya okweru kandi okulamu okwa muri nakwo, kandi musawe na amaani aga Omwoyo Omweru ogwa Katonda aesana.* 21 Muwe mu olugonzi olwa Katonda awagonziizie nalwo, ni murindirra Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo owa amasaasra, aaze awa-ee owulamu owutariwua. 22 Muwe na amasaasra na awantu awakiari no okui-ingirizia mu emioyo giawu. 23 Mutunzie awandi ni muwamizula mu omurro; na awandi muambre amasaasra kandi muwatie. Murege kugia enguwo ziawu ezimwamiziiwue ne enkola emwamu ezia wakola ne emiwiri giawu.*

Okusawa okutuukre

24 Katonda engʼene, nio oesa okuwarinda kugere mutairana enyima kandi awareete emberi waae aa owunene wuae wuri, ni muri awasangaavu kandi awawula ni itone.* 25 Iye, Katonda Omununuzi iifu omulala engʼene, aeewue owunene, owukangasi, owuesani, na amaani ni kuwitra ku Omwami iifu Yesu Kristo, emiigo giona egiawita ne egiiza, reero kandi amiire goona agawula ne entuuko. *Amin.

Amangʼana ku owuimpi

Omujoji owa owusasuko wuno, ari *Omutumwa Yowaana wamwawu Yakoobo. Yagijoja lunyima mu emiaka egituukre egia 90–96 no Omwami Domiitia yawanga omukangasi owa Rooma. Ebuuki eno eetwa mbwe owusasuko aeniki munsi yayo garimo owusasuko na amalooto aga Yowaana yawona na ari mu owusiwe ku ekizinga ekia Patiimo. Owufwanani owua amangʼana agari mu ebuuki eya owusasuko eno, na agari mu *injiili eya Yowaana, gasimbiizia amaingirizio mbwe Yowaana ono nio owazijoja ziona. Kufwanana mbwe yajoja ebuuki eya owusasuko mu Olugiriiki na ari na amaingirizio aga Omuibrania.

Mu amiire aga ebuuki eno, no Omwami Niiro yawanga omukangasi owa Rooma, Awakristo waawona eminyako-nyaako emilulu egiluguulwa. Gano nigo amiire aga Petro ni Paulo waaitrwamo. Lunyima ni Domiitia yatoola owuami, eminyako-nyaako gino giaisonga. Awaruumi waataao mbwe Omwami nio owawanga ki katonda waawu owa awantu woona wasugaane wasawe. Na Awakristo waalowa okusawa Domiitia. Kuno kwagera Omwami Domiitia afumia *ensikirra mbwe Awakristo wanyaasiwue wululu. Yowaana yairwa mu owusiwe mu ekizinga kino ku amangʼana gazani ago. Kutio, yajoja ebuuki eno okuambia Awakristo amaani kugere walowe wukalu okunigiriziwua okusawa awaami awa Rooma. Awalaga mbwe iiye erituukre agati ya Katonda ni *Sataani paka rituuke.

4 Inze Yowaana, mbajojera ebaruwa eno inywe Awakristo awari mu amakaniisa musamvu agari mu ekitemo ekia *Eesia.

Muwe no owuolu no owusiza owua Katonda orio, omiire okuwaao kandi ooza okuwaao, kandi owua emioyo musamvu awari emberi wa entewe eya *Owuami owua Katonda.* 5 Kandi muwe no owuolu no owusiza owuemere ku Yesu Kristo owoola owuene ku amangʼana aga Katonda, owasooka okuziuka okuema ku awafu, kandi ori omukangasi owa awaami woona awari ku ekialo.

Ka-aeewue owunene na amaani amiire goona! *Amin.*

7 Muwurre! Aaza okuuza mu amare kandi awantu woona, namba awaamufumuta na amafumo woona, warimuwona. Kandi enganda ziona ezia awantu awa ku ekialo zirirra wululu olwa ariiza. Ee, nintio kuuza okuikola! Amin.* 8 *Omwami Katonda owa amaani goona orio, omiire okuwaao kandi ooza okuwaao awoola otino, “Inze ni inze *Alfa kandi Omeega, Owutaniko kandi Owutuuko.”*

Owusasuko owua Yesu ori Omwami oziukre

Enyankoi watondowola Katonda no owusangaavu

4 Nikuemao, *awagaaka amakumi awiri ni wane ne endukwa ine endamu waakuba ansi amasigamo gaawu ni wasawa Katonda owawanga na aikaale ku entewe eya owuami.

Omuntu owarumusianga efaraasi enzeru

11 Nikuemao, nyawona igulu ni ri-iguukeo kandi nyawona efaraasi enzeru ne eimeriire emberi wange! Omuntu owawanga na aginiinreko yaetwanga ‘Omuigolovu’ kandi ‘Owuene.’ Ni iye omukengi owa ekiina omulootu kandi olwanra owuigolovu.* 12 Amiiso gaae gafwana endimi ezia omurro kandi aiwooye ekigudu ekiteerweko owuyaayi owungi ku omutwe gwae.

17 Nikuemao, nyawona enyankoi na aimeriire ku enyanga. Enyankoi oyo yaeterezia wukalu enyonyi ziona ezibuluka ku omuyaga na azilaga otino, “Muuze, muikumie alala mu omugomo ogwa okuria okwa Katonda aaza okuwa-aa! 18 Muuza okuria emiwiri egia awaami, awakangasi awakate-kaate, awa-iiye na awakangasi wandi woona.

Owuami owua emiaka elufu kilala

1 Nikuemao otino, nyawona *enyankoi na aika ansi na aema ku igulu na ari ne ekifunguo ekia owuina owukorre endiwo, kandi na agingre omunyororo omusumba mu okukono kwae.* 2 Yavuamra *oguzoka ogwo, agusiwa ku emiaka elufu kilala.

Yakola otio kugere Sataani ataaza yasemerezia awantu awari ku ekialo kandi nawuno emiaka elufu kilala giwue. Ne emiaka egio gimiire okuwua aaza okusiwulwa kandi wutono.

4 Nikuemao, nyawona entewe ezia owuami, na awantu awaawanga ni waeerwe amaani aga okukengera awantu ekiina ni waziikaaleko. Lwona, nyawona emioyo egia awantu awaaitwa ku okufumia owuwoni owua Yesu, kandi ku amangʼana aga Katonda. Wano niwo awantu awaalowa okusawa ensisi namba omufwano ogwalongwa mu embonekano yayo, no okuteewuako ewilago ewia ensisi ku ewieni namba ku amakono. Waaziuka wawa awalamu, kandi wakangatra ekialo ni wari alala ni Yesu, ku emiaka elufu kilala.* 5 Awafu awaasigala, iwo ngawakaziuka mu okuziuka okusookere kuno, ni waarinda nawuno emiaka elufu kilala egio giwua. 6 Awantu awaaza okuziuka okuziuka okusookere kuno, wari aweeru kandi awasereekwe ino. Olumbe olwa okuwiri luwula na amaani ku iwo kandi waaza okuwa *awoozia awa Katonda na awa *Kristo. Lwona, waaza okukangatra awantu nae ku emiaka elufu kilala.*

7 Ne emiaka elufu kilala gimiire okuwua, Sataani aaza okusiwulwa aeme mu owusiwe. 8 Nikuemao aaza okufuma okusemerezia awantu awaema mu enganda ziona mu embega ine ziona ezia ekialo, eziri Googi ni Magoogi.

Ekialo ni igulu wiasomoka wiema emberi waae, kandi ngawikaesa okutuukra asi aa okuiwisa.* 12 Nikuemao, nyawona awafu woona, awanene na awatono, woona ni waimeriire emberi wa entewe eya owuami owuo, okukengerwa ekiina.

Omugizi guno gwawanga ni gulongerwe owulootu kiomo omwala ogia okuagaana no omuzia owagala okumutoola, aiwoya na agia mu omugomo ogwa enserezi yaae.* 3 Nikuemao nyawurra omwoyo oguri kungulu ni gufumira ku entewe eya owuami ni guwoola gutino, “Wurra!

5 Nikuemao, omuntu owawanga na aikaale ku entewe eya owuami eyo yawoola otino, “Wurra! Nkola ewintu wiona wiwe ewiyia.” Lwona yandaga otino, “Joja amangʼana aga nkulagre ago goona, aeniki gari kuwuene kandi gasugaane gaganyweko.”* 6 Nikuemao kandi yandaga otino, “Ewintu wiona wimiire okuwua! Inze ni inze *Alfa kandi ni inze Omeega, Owutaniko kandi Owutuuko.

Yagamba-gamba ni inze na andaga otino, “Iza nkulagirizie omwala omulootu ooza okuwa omukazi owa Ekimaatwa.”* 10 Omwoyo ogwa Katonda gwagera enyankoi na anginga kungulu mala anyira ku entonge eya ekigiri ekiliire.
