Orwaambi mumugye gwa Tesaronike
1 Pauro na Siira bhakahita mumigye gya Amufipori na Aporonia, tee bhakahika mumugye gwa Tesaronike. Tesaronike hayo, haari ne enyuumba ye esaango ya Abhayahudi. 2 Kyeego yaari enyaangi yaaye, Pauro akasikira munyuumba ye esaango. Kwo obhutuuro bhutatu bhwe eziisiku zyo okumuunya, akabha arabhabhuurira abhaatu amangʼana gano gari mu Makaamo Amahoreeru. 3 Yaari aragakuundukura kubhweero no okubheerekya kubha, Masiya akeenderwa anyaakibhwe no okwiitwa, no okumara aryooke kurwa mubhaku. Pauro akabhabhuurira, “Masiya wuno nikubhabhuurira amangʼana gaaye niwe Yeesu.” 4 Abhayahudi abhaandi bhakiikirirya amangʼana gano Pauro yaari aragaamba, hamwe na abhaatu bhano bhatari Abhayahudi bhano bhaamwiigwiiri Taatabhugya, na abhakari bhaaru bha amangʼeeni. Bhayo bhoosi bhakagwaatana na Pauro na Siira.
5 Nawe Abhayahudi abhaandi bhakagwaatwa no omugono. Kweego bhakagya kumuteera, bhakakumania abhaatu bhe eteemo embiihu. Abhaatu bhayo, bhakataanga kukora orwaambi rwaaru mumugye gwoosi. Bhakagya munyuumba ya Yasoni kubhakomya Pauro na Siira, okubha bhabhareete kusaango ya abhaatu bhayo. 6 Hano bhaabhabhuriri, bhakamugega Yasoni omweene hamwe na abhiikirirya abharebhe. Bhakabhakurura tee embere ya abhakuru bho omugye, bharagaamba kwiiraka ikuru, “Abhaatu bhano nibho bhakukora orwaambi rwaaru mubhyaaro ebhiindi bhyoosi, na bhoono bhahikiri eno hoosi. 7 Na Yasoni niwe akabhaginihya munyuumba yaaye. Na bhoosi bharazeera emigiro gino gituurirwe na Kaisari,* na bhariiguungya kubha, bhano omutemi waabhu owuundi, eriina ryaaye ni Yeesu.” 8 Hano abhakuru na abhaatu abhaandi bho omugye guyo bhiigwiiri amangʼana gayo, bhakoongera okukora orwaambi bhukongʼu. 9 Hano abhakuru bhe ekyaaro bhaariiri enzagu ya Yasoni na abharikyaaye, kyaamwe bhakabhatiga bhagye zyaabhu.
Pauro na Siira mumugye gwa Beroya
10 Hano bhwaabheeri obhutiku, abhiikirirya bhakabhaheregesya Pauro na Siira bhakagya mumugye gwa Beroya. Hano bhaahikiri Beroya, bhakasikira munyuumba ye esaango ya Abhayahudi. 11 Abhayahudi bhano bha Beroya bhaari abhaatu bhe eteemo nzomu kukira Tesaronike. Kweego bhakamwiitegeerera kisi Pauro hano yaakubharwaazira engʼana ya Taatabhugya, bhakiigoomba okuyiitegeerera. Bhakabha bhariisuunza mu Makaamo Amahoreeru eziisiku zyoosi, okubha bhamenyeekererye eraabhe amangʼana gayo gaari garagaambwa na Pauro na Siira ni maheene na niigo gari. 12 Abhayahudi bhaaru gati waabhu bhakamwiikirirya Yeesu, hamwe na Abhayunaani, abhasubhe na abhakari bhano bhaari bhakusuukwa.
13 Abhayahudi bhayo bha Tesaronike, hano bhaamenyiri kubha Pauro areegya engʼana ya Taatabhugya eyo Beroya, bhakagyayo. Bhakasiigirirya esaango ya abhaatu bhano bhaari hayo, tee bhakabha no orwaambi rwaaru. 14 Abhiikirirya bharya bhakamuheregesya Pauro, bhakamuhira tee kurungʼoongo rwe enyaanza. Nawe Siira na Timoteo ebho bhakasaaga Beroya hayo. 15 Na bhano bhaamuheregesirye Pauro bhakamuhikya tee mumugye gwa Atene. Hano bhaari bharakyoora, akabharagirirya kubha bhabhabhuurire Siira na Timoteo bhamutuniirire bhwaangu.
Pauro arakeerenia na abhaatu bha Atene
16 Hano Pauro yaari akubhaganya Siira na Timoteo mumugye gwa Atene hayo, akabha aranyahaarwa bhukongʼu kwo okurora omugye guyo gwoosi gwiizwiiri emisaambwa gyo okubhaazwa. 17 Kweego, akabha aragya munyuumba ye esaango kubhuurania na Abhayahudi na bhano bhatari Abhayahudi bhano bhakumwiigwa Taatabhugya. Kweeki yaari areegya abhaatu kumuteera, na bhano yaari akusikana nabho.
18 Ambe, Pauro akabha arasikana na abhasomi abharebhe bhe esaango ya Abheepikurio† na Abhasitoiko,‡ kyaamwe bhakataanga kuhakana neewe. Abhaandi bhakabhuga, “Omubharuki wuno, areenda kugaambaki?” Abhaandi bharabhuga, “Erarorekana kubha, ararwaaza iguru we emisaambwa gye ekigini.” Bhakabhuga ego, kwo okubha akarwaaza iguru wa Yeesu no okuryooka kwa abhaku.
19 Bhakamugwaata Pauro, bhakamuhira embere we ekiina ekikuru kino kikubhirikirwa Areopago. Abhakuru bhe ekiina kiyo bhakamubhuurya, “Oratura kutubhuurira obhugazuro bhwa ameegyo amahya gayo okubhabhuurira abhaatu? 20 Awe oratureetera amangʼana amahya, kweego tureenda tumenye obhugazuro bhwago.” 21 Gano goosi ni kwo okubha abhiibhurwa bha Atene na abhagini abhaandi bhano bhaari kwiikara muyo, kwiibhaga riyo ryoosi bhataakoriri ngʼana yoyoosi okuruusyaku okwiitegeerera no okukeerenerya amangʼana amahya.
22 Okumara Pauro akiimeerera embere we esaango ya Areopago, akabhuga, “Emwe abhiikari bha Atene! Niruuzi kubha emwe ni bhaatu bhano museegiri amangʼana ge enyaangi bhukongʼu. 23 Hano niari ndahita mumugye gweenyu, nikarora ebhigiro bhyeenyu bhyo okuseengera. Nikarora ahagiro ho okuruusirya ekimweeso hano hakaamirwe amangʼana gano, Ku Taatabhugya wuno atamenyekeeni. Ambe, Taatabhugya wuno mukuseengera eno mutamumenyiri, niwe nikubharwaazira reero.
24 “Taatabhugya wuyo ni Muteemi we ekyaaro ne ebhigiro bhyoosi bhino bhirimu, kwo okubha ewe atakwiikara muziinyuumba zino zoombokirwe na abhaatu. 25 Ewe atakweenda kukorerwa ekigiro kyokyoosi na abhaatu, kwo okubha ewe niwe akubhaha bhoosi obhuhoru no omwiika ne ebhigiro bhyoosi. 26 No okurweera kumuutu wumwe, niho yaruusirye abhaatu bhe ebhigaambo bhyoosi, na bhiikare mukyaaro kyoosi. Akabhatuurira ne eriibhaga ryo okwiikara kweemera ekare, akabhatinira eziimiimbi zya ahagiro hano bhakweenderwa bhiikare. 27 Taatabhugya akakora ego, okubha abhaatu bhamukomye, naabhe kwo okubhabhaata bhamurore. Nawe, Taatabhugya atari kure neetwe twoosi. 28 Kwo obhunagya bhwaaye tureho, turakora na turageenderera. Ni kya abhakaami bha ameembo geenyu bhakabhuga, ‘Etwe ni bhaana bhaaye.’
29 “Ambe, kwo okubha etwe ni bhaana bha Taatabhugya, tutiiseega kubha atuubheeni ne emisaambwa gino gikorirwe kwe ezahaabu, eziimbirya, naabhe emisaambwa gino gibhaazirwe kumagina. Gayo goosi garakorwa kwo obhutuguukurya na amangʼeeni ga abhaatu. 30 Ekare hayo, hano abhaatu bhaari bharakora gayo kwo obhugeege, Taatabhugya yaari ariikora kubha atakugarora. Nawe bhoono, arabhabhuurira abhaatu bhoosi bha ahagiro hoosi kubha bhate ebhibhi, 31 kwo okubha amariri kutuura orusiku runo araabhatinire ekiina abhaatu bhoosi kwe eheene, kwe enzira yo omuutu wumwe akamutaaho kumirimo giyo. Ewe atweerekirye obhuheene bhwa amangʼana gayo kwo okumuryoorya omuutu wuyo kurwa mubhaku.”
32 Hano abhakuru bhayo bhiigwiiri kubha Pauro aragaamba iguru wo okuryooka kwa abhaku, abhamwe bhaabhu bhakamuzeera, nawe abhaandi bhakabhuga, “Tureenda okukwiitegeerera orusiku oruundi kweeki iguru wa amangʼana gayo.” 33 Kweego, Pauro akahuruka mukiina kya abhakuru kiyo. 34 Nawe abhaatu abhaandi bhakiikirirya, bhakagwaatana na Pauro. Gati waabhu bhaari Dionisio, owumwe we ekiina kya Abhaareopago no omukari wumwe eriina yaaye ni Damaari, hamwe na abhaatu abhaandi.
