Ivyakozwe 11 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

11 ¹Intumwa n’abavukanyi bo muri Yudaya bumvise ko abanyamahanga na bo bari bakiriye ijambo rya Data wa twese. ²Nuko Petero aduze i Yeruzalemu, abo mu bwoko bw’abakebwa baramuyamira, ³bati: “Wagendeye abantu batakebwe maze urasangira na bo.”

⁴Ariko Petero arabasobanurira ivyo vyose uko vyari vyifashe: ⁵Nasengera mu gisagara c’i Yopa, maze ninjiramwo n’iyerekwa, mbona ikintu kinini nk’impuzu nini, imanuwe iva mw’ijuru ifatiwe ku mfuruka zayo zine, ishika iwanje. ⁶Nyitegereje neza, mbona ibikoko bifise amaguru ane, n’ibikoko vyo mw’ishamba, n’ibikururuka, n’inyoni zo mu kirere.

⁷Numva n’ijwi rimbwira riti: ‘Haguruka, Petero; baga urye.’

⁸Ariko ndavuga nti: ‘Nta na rimwe, Mwami; kuko nta kintu gihumanye canke kidahumeka na rimwe cigeze kinjira mu kanwa kanje.’

⁹Ariko iryo jwi rishura ubwa kabiri rivuye mw’ijuru riti: ‘Ico Data wa twese yejeje, wewe ntuce ukivuga ngo kirahumanye.’ ¹⁰Ivyo vyabaye gatatu, maze vyose birasubira kuduganwa mw’ijuru. ¹¹Ako kanya nyene abantu batatu, barungitswe kundondera bavuye i Sezariya, bashika ku nzu twari turimwo. ¹²Mpwemu ambwira kujana na bo, ata gukeba. Aba bavukanyi batandatu na bo baragenze nanje, maze twinjira mu nzu y’uwo muntu.

¹³Aratubwira ukuntu yabonye umumarayika ahagaze mu nzu yiwe amubwira ati: ‘Rungika i Yopa abantu bagucire Simoni yitwa Petero; ¹⁴we azokuzanira ubutumwa buzotuma ukira, wewe be n’umuryango wawe wose.’ ¹⁵Ngize ntangura kuvuga, Mpwemu Yera abamanukirako nk’uko natwe yari yaradumanukiyeko ku ntango.

¹⁶Maze ndibuka ivyo Umwami wacu Yesu yavuze ati: ‘Yohana yabatirisha amazi, mugabo mwebwe muzobatizwa Mpwemu Yera.’ ¹⁷Nimba Data wa twese yarabahaye ingabirano nyene nk’iyo yaduhaye twebwe twizeye Umwami Yesu Kristo, jewe ndi nde ngo nshobore kubuza Data wa twese?

¹⁸Bumvise ivyo, barahora maze baninahaza Data wa twese, bati: “Nuko rero Data wa twese yarahaye n’abanyamahanga kwigaya gushikana ku bugingo.”

Umuryango wa Data wa twese waragwiriye i Antiyokiya

¹⁹Abashwiragiye kubera uruhamo rwavuye kuri Sitefano bagenze gushika muri Fenisiya n’i Kupuro n’i Antiyokiya, baravuga ubutumwa ata wundi babubwira atari Abayuda gusa. ²⁰Ariko bamwe muri bo—abantu bo mu Kupuro no mu Kurene—bashitse i Antiyokiya babwira n’Abagiriki, bababwira inkuru nziza y’Umwami Yesu. ^a a v20 Abagiriki: abantu bavuga igiheburayo c’ikigiriki, ahari ari abanyamahanga muri ico gihe. ²¹Ukuboko kw’Umwami wacu Yesu kwari kumwe na bo, maze benshi baremera bahindukirira Umwami. ²²Ishengero ry’i Yeruzalemu ryumvise ivyo maze ritumako Barunaba i Antiyokiya. ²³Ashitseyo, abona ubuntu bwa Data wa twese aranezerwa, aremesha bose kuguma bagumya Umwami bafise imitima ikomeye. ²⁴Kuko yari umuntu mwiza, yuzuye Mpwemu Yera n’ukwizera, maze abantu benshi bongerwa ku Mwami.

²⁵Nuko Barunaba agenda i Taruso kurondera Sauli, ²⁶amaze kumubona, amuzana i Antiyokiya. Umwaka wose bakoranira kumwe n’ishengero, bigisha abantu benshi, kandi ni i Antiyokiya abigishwa babanje kwitwa Abakristo. ^b b v26 Izina Abakristo risobanura “abo kwa Kristo” — ni ryo rya mbere abayoboke ba Yesu bitiriwe izina ryiwe.

²⁷Muri iyo misi abavugishwa n’Imana baramanuka bava i Yeruzalemu baja i Antiyokiya. ²⁸Umwe muri bo, yitwa Agabo, arahaguruka maze avuga biciye kuri Mpwemu ko inzara nini yoza mw’isi yose—vyabaye mu misi ya Kolodiyo. ²⁹Abigishwa bafata ingingo, umwe wese nk’uko ashoboye, yo kurungika imfashanyo ku bavukanyi baba muri Yudaya. ³⁰Nuko bagenza gutyo, babirungikira abagabo b’inararibonye biciye kuri Barunaba na Sauli.
