Mu mujyi wa Ikoniyo
1 Ni ko byagenze bageze Ikoniyo, Pawulo na Barinaba binjiye mu rusengero rw’Abayahudi, maze bavugana na bo ku buryo Abayahudi n’abatari Abayahudi benshi cyane bemeye Kristo.
2 Ariko Abayahudi bari banze kumwemera bateye imidugararo mu batari Abayahudi, babatera kumerera nabi abo bavandimwe.
3 Nuko Pawulo na Barinaba bahamara igihe kitari gito bavuga ibya Nyagasani bashize amanga, na we abaha gukora ibitangaza no gutanga ibimenyetso byemeza ibyo bavugaga byerekeye ubuntu bw’Imana.
4 Abatuye uwo mujyi bicamo ibice, bamwe bajya ku ruhande rw’Abayahudi, abandi ku rw’Intumwa za Kristo.
5 Nuko Abayahudi n’abatari bo bajya inama n’abatware babo, kugira ngo bagirire nabi Pawulo na Barinaba babatere amabuye.
6 Abo babimenye bahungira mu mijyi ya Lisitira na Derube yo muri Likawoniya, no mu karere gahereranye na yo.
7 Aho ngaho bakomeza kuhatangaza inkuru nziza ya Kristo.
I Lisitira n’i Derube
8 I Lisitira hari umugabo wari waravutse aremaye ibirenge, ntiyigera abasha gutambuka.
9 Yicaye aho atega Pawulo amatwi. Pawulo amwitegereje abona yizeye gukira indwara,
10 amubwira mu ijwi riranguruye ati: “Haguruka uhagarare wemye!”
Arabaduka aragenda.
11 Aho hari imbaga nyamwinshi y’abantu, babonye icyo Pawulo yakoze barangurura amajwi, bavuga mu rurimi rwo muri Likawoniya bati: “Imana zifite ishusho y’abantu zatumanukiye!”
12 Barinaba bamwita Zewu, na Pawulo bamwita Herume, kuko ari we wakundaga gufata ijambo.
13 Ingoro ya ya mana yabo Zewu yari inyuma y’umujyi. Nuko umutambyi wayo azana ku irembo ibimasa bitatse indabyo, kubera ko we na rubanda bashakaga gutura ibitambo izo Ntumwa za Yezu.
14 Ariko Barinaba na Pawulo bumvise ibyo bashaka kubakorera, bahita bashishimura imyambaro yabo kubera umubabaro, biroha muri iyo nteko y’abantu bakōmēra bati:
15 “Mwa bagabo mwe, ibyo ni ibiki mushaka gukora? Natwe turi abantu nkamwe. Tubazaniye Ubutumwa bwiza ngo mureke ibyo bintu bitagira akamaro, muhindukirire Imana nzima yaremye ijuru n’isi n’inyanja n’ibirimo byose.
16 Mu bihe byashize yaretse amahanga yose akora ibyo yishakiye.
17 Nyamara ntiyareka gutanga ibimenyetso bihamya ukugira neza kwayo: kubavubira imvura no kubaha umusaruro mu gihe gikwiriye, no kubahaza ibibatunga n’ibibashimisha.”
18 Nubwo izo Ntumwa za Kristo zavuze zityo, ntibyazoroheye kubuza iyo mbaga y’abantu kuzitura ibitambo.
19 Bigeze aho haza Abayahudi bamwe bavuye muri Antiyokiya no muri Ikoniyo, bigarurira abo bantu bose, batera Pawulo amabuye ngo bamwice. Nyuma bamukururira inyuma y’umujyi batekereza ko yapfuye.
20 Ariko igihe abigishwa ba Kristo bamukikije, arahaguruka asubira mu mujyi. Bukeye ajyana na Barinaba i Derube.
Pawulo na Barinaba basubira Antiyokiya ho muri Siriya
21 Pawulo na Barinaba bamamaza inkuru nziza ya Yezu i Derube, maze bahabona abigishwa benshi. Hanyuma basubira i Lisitira na Ikoniyo na Antiyokiya ho muri Pisidiya.
22 Bakomeza abigishwa ba Kristo baho, babatera umwete kugira ngo bakomere ku kwizera Kristo bababwira bati: “Ni ngombwa ko tunyura mu makuba menshi ngo tubone kwinjira mu bwami bw’Imana.”
23 Batoranya abakuru muri buri koraniro ry’Umuryango wa Kristo, bamaze gusenga no kwigomwa kurya babaragiza Nyagasani bari baremeye.
24 Bambukiranya akarere kose ka Pisidiya, bagera mu ntara ya Pamfiliya.
25 Bamaze kubwira ab’i Periga Ijambo ry’Imana, baramanuka bagera ahitwa Ataliya,
26 bavayo bafata ubwato bagana Antiyokiya ho muri Siriya, aho ba bavandimwe bari barabaragirije Imana, ngo ibagirire ubuntu bwo kubashoboza gukora uwo murimo bari barangije.
27 Bagezeyo bakoranya itorero rya Kristo ryaho ryose, baritekerereza ibyo Imana yabakoresheje byose, n’uburyo yugururiye irembo abatari Abayahudi ngo binjire mu bemera Kristo.
28 Nuko bamarana igihe kitari gito n’abigishwa ba Kristo.
