1 Mumugye gwa Antiokia haari ne ekanisa yino yaari na abharooti na abheegya. Gati waabhu bhaari bharimu Barinaaba, Simioni wuno yakubhirikirwa Nigeri, obhugazuro bhwaku omuutu omumwaamu, Rukio okurwa Kirene, Manaeni wuno yaari akiiniiri hamwe no omutemi Herode Antipasi no owuundi yaari Sauri. 2 Hano bhaari bhakumusabha Omukuru no okwiisiitya ebhyaakurya, Ekoro Muhoreeru akabhabhuurira, “Munisorere Barinaaba na Sauri kumirimo gino nibhabhirikiriiri.” 3 Hano bhaamariri okumuseengera Taatabhugya no okwiisiitya ebhyaakurya, bhakabhatuurira Barinaaba na Sauri amabhoko iguru waabhu no okubhasabhira, bhakabhatiga bhagye.

4 Kweego Barinaaba na Sauri bhakatumwa ne Ekoro Muhoreeru. Bhakagya bhakiikira mumugye gwa Serukia, kurwa hayo bhakatiira emeeri, bhakagya mukigiinga kya Kipuro. 5 Na hano bhaahikiri mukigiinga kiyo, mumugye gwa Sarami, bhakataanga kurwaazira abhaatu engʼana ya Taatabhugya muziinyuumba zye eziisaango zya Abhayahudi. Neebho bhaari na Yohana, ne eriina eriindi arabhirikirwa Mariko, yaari omusakirya waabhu.

6 Hano bhaahitiiri gatigati we ekigiinga kiyo kya Kipuro, bhakahika tee mumugye gwa Pafo. Mumugye hayo niho bhakasikana no Omuyahudi wumwe omurogi, omurooti wo orurimi, eriina ryaaye Bari-Yeesu. 7 Omuutu wuno yaari hamwe no omwaanaangwa Serigio Pauro, omuutu wa amangʼeeni. Ewe omwaanaangwa wuyo akabhabhirikira Barinaaba na Sauri bhiize kweewe, kwo okubha akeenda yiigwe engʼana ya Taatabhugya kurweera kweebho. 8 Nawe Bari-Yeesu omurogi, eriina ryaaye rye Ekiyunaani ni Erima, yaari na amangʼana go okuhakania Barinaaba na Sauri, eno arasakya kumurekya omwaanaangwa wa mukigiinga wuyo atamwiikirirya Yeesu.

9 Niho, Sauri eriina ryaaye eriindi arabhirikirwa Pauro,[a] eno yiizwiiri Ekoro Muhoreeru, akamumogorera Erima, 10 akamubhuurira, “Awe omwaana wa Seetaani! Awe ni mubhisa wa goosi gano amazomu embere wa Taatabhugya! Wiizwiiri obhungʼeenererya, orabha orakaangirirya abhaandi! Otaageenderere okukyoora amangʼana ge eheene go Omukuru kubha orurimi? 11 Bhoono, itegeerera! Omukuru arakugororokerya okubhoko kwaaye akuteme, orabha omuhoku, otakurora kyokyoosi kwiibhaga.”

Kyaamwe Erima, ekitu kikamwiizura mumeeso, akabha mukiirima atakurora. Akataanga kwiinogooranogoora kumoohya omuutu wuno araamugwaate okubhoko okubha amukaangate. 12 Eriibhaga riyo omwaanaangwa wa mukigiinga wuyo akarora ekika kiyo, akamwiikirirya Omukuru. Kweeki, yaari araruguura bhukongʼu iguru wa ameegyo go Omukuru gano yiigwiiri.

13 Pauro na abharikyaaye bhakarwa Pafo. Bhakagya orugeendo mumeeri, bhakahikira omugye gwa Perige mukyaaro kya Pamufiria. Yohana akabhatiga hayo, akakyoora Yerusaremu. 14 Nawe Pauro na Barinaaba bhakabhuukira Perige, bhakageenderera no orugeendo, bhakahika mumugye gwa Antiokia mukyaaro kya Pisidia.

Orusiku rwo okumuunya,[b] bhakasikira munyuumba ye esaango, bhakiikara. 15 Hano abhakuru bhe enyuumba ye esaango yiyo bhaamariri okusoma amangʼana agaandi okurwa mumigiro gya Musa na mubhitabhu bhya abharooti, bhakatuma omuutu ku Pauro na Barinaaba, akabhabhuurira, “Abhahiiri bheetu, eraabhe mune engʼana yo okubhatoongera ekoro abhaatu bhano, mugaambe.”

16 Niho Pauro akiimeerera, akabheerekeererya kwo okubhoko kubha bhamwiitegeerere, akabhuga, “Emwe abhaatu bha Iziraeri, na neemwe abhaatu bhe ebhyaaro ebhiindi bhano mukumwiigwa Taatabhugya, muniitegeerere! 17 Taatabhugya wa abhaatu bheetu bha Iziraeri niwe akasora bhazaazi bheetu. Kwiibhaga rino bhaari kwiikara kya abhagini mukyaaro kya Misiri, akabhakora kubha ekyaaro ekikuru bhukongʼu. Taatabhugya akabharuusya eyo kwo obhunagya bhwaaye obhukuru. 18 Akabhiikongʼeererya kwe emyaaka miroongo ene (40) kukibhara. 19 Kyaamwe, akasikya ebhigaambo muhuungati mukyaaro kya Kanaani, akabhaha bhazaazi bheetu Abhiiziraeri ekyaaro kiyo kubha engabho yaabhu. 20 Gayo goosi gakakorwa kumyaaka magana ane na miroongo etaano (450) ego.

“Okumara, Taatabhugya akabhaha bhazaazi bheetu abhataania kubhakaangata, tee hano omurooti Samweeri yabhakaangatiri. 21 Niho bhakamusabha kubha, bhahaabhwe omutemi, na Taatabhugya akabhaha Sauri, omwaana wa Kishi, okurwa mukisyooko kya Benjamini, woosi akabha omutemi kwe emyaaka miroongo ene (40). 22 Hano Taatabhugya yamariri okumuruusyaho Sauri, akamutuura Daudi kubha omutemi waabhu. Taatabhugya akabhuga iguru wa Daudi, ‘Nimuruuzi Daudi omwaana wa Yeese, omuutu wuyo akaanizomera, kweeki niwe araakore obhuseegi bhwaane bhwoosi.’[c]

23 “Okurwa muhamati ya Daudi nimwe Taatabhugya abhareteeri Abhiiziraeri Omutuurya Yeesu, kyeego yaari abharageenie. 24 Hano Yeesu yaari akyaari kutaanga emirimo gyaaye, Yohana yaari arabharwaazira Abhiiziraeri bhoosi kubha bhate ebhibhi bhyaabhu na bhabatiizwe. 25 Hano Yohana yaari haguhi kumara emirimo gyaaye, akabhuga, ‘Muriisiga enye ni weewi? Enye nitari wurya Krisito wuno mukumuganyirira! Mwiitegeerere! Wuno araaze inyuma waane, enye nitakweenderwa naabhe kutazura eziikobha zye ebhikweera bhyaaye!’[d]

26 “Abhahiiri bhaane, emwe abhaatu bhe ehamati ya Aburahamu na neemwe abhaatu bhano bhatari Abhayahudi bhano mukumwiigwa Taatabhugya, amangʼana go obhutuurya gareetirwe okurwa ku Taatabhugya! 27 Abhaatu bha Yerusaremu na abhakaangati bhaabhu bhataamumenyeekereerye kubha Yeesu niwe wurya abharooti bhaamugaambiiri iguru waaye. Nawe bhakamutinira ekiina kyo okwiitwa, na kwo okukora ego bhakamara amangʼana go obhurooti gano gakusomwa eziisiku zyoosi zyo okumuunya. 28 Yiingabha bhataabheeri na amasemo gogoosi go obhuheene gano gakweerekya kubha Yeesu areenderwa yiitwe, bhakamusabha Pirato aswaagye Yeesu yiitwe.

29 “Hano bhaamariri goosi gano gakaamirwe iguru wa Yeesu, bhakamwiikya okurwa kumusaraba, bhakamubhiika mumbiihira. 30 Nawe Taatabhugya akamuryoora okurwa mubhaku! 31 Kwa siku nzaru, Yeesu akabha arabhahwaarukira abhaatu bhano bhaari bhakumutuniirira hano bhaari bhakurwa Gariraaya, kugya Yerusaremu. Bhoono nibho abhamenyeekererya kubhaatu bha Iziraeri.

32 “Na neetwe turabharwaazira Amangʼana Amazomu, gano Taatabhugya yarageenie bhazaazi bheetu, 33 agamariri kweetwe, etwe abhaana bhaabhu, kwo okumuryoora Yeesu kurwa mubhaku. Kyeego yaari ekaamirwe mu Zaburi ya kabhiri,
