Data wa twese abahamagarira i Makedoniya

⁶Banyuze mu ntara ya Firigiya na Galatiya, kuko Mpwemu Yera yari yababujije kuvugira ijambo muri Aziya. ⁷Bashitse i Miziya, bagerageza kwinjira i Bitiniya, ariko Mpwemu wa Yesu ntiyabibemereye. ⁸Nuko bahita iruhande ya Miziya, bamanukira i Tirowa. ⁹Paulo abona iyerekwa mw’ijoro: umugabo w’Umumakedoniya ahagaze amutakambira ati: “Zabukira i Makedoniya udufashe.” ¹⁰Amaze kubona iyo yerekwa, aca twihutira kuja i Makedoniya, twumvise neza ko Data wa twese yari yaduhamagaye kugira ngo tubabwire inkuru nziza.

Lidiya akingura umutima wiwe i Filipi

¹¹Nuko twava i Tirowa, dufata ubwato tuja dukwaguye i Samotirase, bukeye tuja i Neyapoli, ¹²uvuye aho tuja i Filipi, igisagara gihambaye muri ako karere ka Makedoniya, ni na koloni y’Abaroma. Tumaze yo imisi myinshi.

¹³Ku musi w’isabato twasohokeye hanze y’irembo tuja ku ruzi, twibwira ko hari ahantu bahurira gusenga. Twicaye maze turayaga n’abagore bari bahuriye ng’aho. ¹⁴Umugore yitwa Lidiya, w’i Tiyatira, yadandaza impuzu z’umuyugubwe kandi asenga Data wa twese, yariko aratwumviriza. Umwami yugurura umutima wiwe kugira ngo yitwararike ivyo Paulo yavuga. ¹⁵Amaze kubatizwa we n’abo mu rugo rwiwe, aratwinginga ati: “Nimba munyemereye ko ndi uwizigirwa ku Mwami, nimuze mu nzu yanje muhabe.” Nuko aratwemeza.

Bapfungirwa inkuru nziza

¹⁶Twariko tuja ahantu bahurira gusenga, duhura n’umwigeme w’umuja yari afisemwo impwemu y’ubupfumu; yaronderera ba shebuja inyungu nyinshi mu kuragura. ¹⁷Yakurikira Paulo na twebwe, asemerera ati: “Aba bantu ni abasavyi b’Imana Isumba vyose, babamenyesha inzira y’agakiza.” ¹⁸Yagumye abigenza gutyo imisi myinshi. Paulo ananiwe cane, aca arahindukira abwira iyo mpwemu ati: “Ndagutegetse mw’izina rya Yesu Kristo kuva muri uyu mugore.” Ica ivamwo ubwo nyene.

¹⁹Ba shebuja babonye ko icizigiro cabo co kuronka inyungu kibavuyemwo, baca bafata Paulo na Silasi, babakururira ku isoko imbere y’abatware. ²⁰Bababshikirije abacamanza, bavuga bati: “Aba bantu ni Abayahudi, baradodera igisagara cacu. ²¹Baremeza imigenzo itemewe n’amategeko ko twebwe Abaroma twoyemera canke tuyikurikiza.”

²²Isinzi rifatanya kubarwanya, maze abacamanza batatura impuzu za Paulo na Silasi, bategeka ko bakubitwa inkoni. ²³Bamaze kubakubita cane, baca babajugunya mu munyororo, bategeka umurinzi w’ibohero ngo abarinde neza. ²⁴Ahawe iryo tegeko, aca ababohera mu cumba co hagati, abohera n’amaguru yabo mu bikumbu.

²⁵Nk’igicuku c’ijoro, Paulo na Silasi bariko barasenga kandi baririmbira Data wa twese indirimbo, imbohe na zo zikaba zabumviriza. ²⁶Giturumbuka hazamwo umutingito ukomeye unyiganyiza imishinge y’ibohero; ubwo nyene inzugi zose zirugurwa, n’iminyororo ya bose irabohoka. ²⁷Umurinzi w’ibohero akanguka, abona inzugi z’ibohero zugurutse, akura inkota agomba kwiyahura, yibwira ko imbohe zahunze. ²⁸Mugabo Paulo asemerera ati: “Ntiwigirire nabi, kuko twese turi ng’aha!”

²⁹Umurinzi w’ibohero asaba amatara, ihuta yinjira imbere, yikubita hasi ajugumira imbere ya Paulo na Silasi. ³⁰Maze arabasohora hanze avuga ati: “Bashingantahe, nkore iki kugira ngo nkizwe?”

³¹Baca bavuga bati: “Izera Umwami Yesu, uzokizwa, wewe n’abo mu rugo rwawe.” ³²Baca bamubwira ijambo ry’Umwami, we n’abari mu nzu yiwe bose. ³³Muri iryo saha ry’ijoro, arabatora aroza ibikomere vyabo; maze aca arabatizwa ako kanya, we n’abo mu rugo rwiwe bose. ³⁴Aca abaduza mu nzu yiwe, arabashikiriza ibifungurwa, anezerwa cane we n’abo mu rugo rwiwe bose kubera ko bemeye Data wa twese.

³⁵Bukeye bwaca, abacamanza barungika abapolisi, bavuga bati: “Rekura abo bantu.”

³⁶Umurinzi w’ibohero abwira Paulo ati: “Abacamanza barungitse itegeko ryo kubarekura. None nimusohoke mugende amahoro.”

³⁷Ariko Paulo arababwira ati: “Baradukubise imbere y’abantu badaciye urubanza, twebwe turi abenegihugu b’Abaroma, baca badujugunya mu bohero. None bashaka kuturungika wihishije? Oya! Nibaze bo ubwabo baduserure.”

³⁸Abapolisi bashikiriza ayo majambo abacamanza, maze baratinya bumvise ko bari abenegihugu b’Abaroma. ³⁹Baca baraza, barasaba ikigongwe, barabaserura, basaba ko bava muri ico gisagara. ⁴⁰Nuko bava mu bohero baja kwa Lidiya. Baho babonana n’abavukanyi, barabaremesha, maze baragenda.
