1 Abantu bamwe bavuye i Yudaya baja muri Antiyokiya, bigisha abizera bati: "Mudakebwe nk’uko imigenzo twigishijwe na Mose ibidutegeka, ntimushobora gukizwa." 2 Maze Pawulo na Baranaba binjira mu mpari zikomeye n’abo bantu. Nuko ishengero rica rirungika Pawulo na Baranaba, baherekejwe n’abandi bizera bo muri iryo shengero, ngo baduge i Yerusalemu, kugira ngo bashikirize ico kibazo intumwa n’abakuru b’ishengero. 3 Nuko ishengero rimaze kubarungika, baca i Foyinike n’i Samariya, biganira abandi bizera ingene Abanyamahanga na bo bizeye Imana, ivyo bitera umunezero mwinshi bene Data bose. 4 I Yerusalemu bakiriwe n’ishengero hamwe n’intumwa ziri kumwe n’abakuru b’ishengero, na bo babiganira ivyo Imana yabakoresheje vyose.

5 Ariko bamwe mu bizera bahoze mu mugwi w’Abafarisayo barahaguruka, bavuga bati: "Abanyamahanga bategerezwa gukebwa no gukurikiza Ivyagezwe vya Mose."

6 Nuko intumwa n’abakuru b’ishengero barakorana bigira hamwe ico kibazo. 7 Inyuma y’impari nyinshi, Petero ava hasi, arababwira ati: "Bene Bata, murazi ko mu misi iheze Imana yantoranije muri mwebwe kugira ngo mbwire Abanyamahanga Ubutumwa Bwiza maze na bo bumve, hanyuma bizere. 8 Imana, yoyo izi imitima y’abantu, yerekanye ko ibemeye mu kubaha Mpwemu Yera, nk’uko yamuduhaye. 9 Ntiyadutandukanije na bo, kuko yejeje imitima yabo kuko bizeye. 10 None rero, ni kubera iki mugomba kugerageza Imana mu kuremeka abigishwa imitwaro twebwe ndetse na ba sogokuruza tutashoboye kwikorera? 11 Ahubwo twizera ko twese dukizwa n’ubuntu bw’Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo."

12 Ishengero ryose rica riracereza, bumviriza Pawulo na Baranaba, na bo bababwira ivy’ibitangaza n’utwumiza Imana yabakoresheje mu Banyamahanga. 13 Baheje kuvuga, Yakobo aca afata ijambo, aravuga ati: "Bene Data, nimuntege amatwi. 14 Simoni Petero yadusiguriye ingene kuva mu ntango Imana yitayeho Abanyamahanga kugira ngo ibitoranirizemwo abazokwitirirwa izina ryayo. 15 Amajambo y’abavugishwa n’Imana aremeranya n’ivyo, kuko handitswe ngo:

16 ‘Inyuma y’ivyo nzogaruka,

nsubire nubake inzu ya Dawidi yasambutse.

Nzosubira nubake imisaka yaho

ndayisanure,

17 kugira ngo abandi bantu bose baze barondere Uhoraho,

barimwo n’Abanyamahanga bitirirwa izina ryanje,

ni ko Uhoraho abikora avuze,’*

18 uwabimenyekanishije uhereye kera cane.

19 Ni co gituma mbona tudakwiye kuremera Abanyamahanga bariko bahindukirira Imana. 20 Ahubwo dukwiye kubandikira, tukababwira ko bokwirinda kurya ivyaterekerewe ibigirwamana, bakirinda ingeso mbi z’ubusambanyi, kutarya ibikoko vyanizwe hamwe n’amaraso. 21 Kuko Ivyagezwe vya Mose vyama vyigishwa kuva kera mu masinagogi no mu bisigara, bigasomwa kw’isabato yose."

22 Nuko intumwa n’abakuru b’ishengero, bari kumwe n’ishengero ryose, baca batora bamwe mu banyeshengero, babarungika i Antiyokiya baherekeje Pawulo na Baranaba. Nuko batoranya Yuda ari we Barusaba, na Silasi, bari abarongozi mu bandi bizera. 23 Maze babarungikana ikete ryavuga ritya:

Twebwe bene So, intumwa n’abakuru b’ishengero,

Turabaramukije mwebwe Abanyamahanga bizera bo muri Antiyokiya, i Siriya n’i Kilikiya.

24 Twarumvise ko hariho abantu bamwe muri twebwe baje iwanyu tutabatumye, bababwira amajambo abaca ivutu, abahagarika imitima. 25 Ni co gituma twumvikanye gutoranyamwo abo dutuma, bazananye na bene Data dukunda cane, ari bo Baranaba na Pawulo, 26 abagabo bahevye ubuzima bwabo ku bw’izina ry’Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo. 27 Kandi turabarungikiye Yuda na Silasi kugira ngo bemeze n’amajambo y’akanwa kabo ivyo tubandikiye. 28 Kuko Mpwemu Yera vyamubereye vyiza, kandi natwe bitubera vyiza kutabaremereza ikintu na kimwe kirengeye ivyo tubasaba, ari vyo vy’ibi: 29 Muze mwirinde kurya ivyaterekerewe ibigirwamana, amaraso canke inyama z’ibikoko binizwe, kandi mwirinde ingeso mbi z’ubusambanyi. Nimwavyirinda muzoba mugize neza.

Turabasezeye.

30 Nuko abo bantu baca barabarungika bamanuka muri Antiyokiya, bakoranya ishengero, babashikiriza iryo kete. 31 Barisomye baranezerwa cane kuko ryarimwo ubutumwa bubatera intege. 32 Yuda na Silasi, bari basanzwe ari abavugishwa n’Imana, bongera bababwira amajambo menshi yo kubatera intege no kubakomeza. 33 Nuko bahamara igihe, hanyuma abizera bo muri Antiyokiya barabasezera n’umuhezagiro w’amahoro, maze na bo basubira ku babatumye. [ 34 Ariko Silasi ahitamwo kugumayo.]* 35 Maze Pawulo na Baranaba bagumye muri Antiyokiya, aho bo n’abandi benshi bigishije bongera bavuga Ijambo ry’Umwami Yesu.

36 Haheze igihe, Pawulo abarira Baranaba ati: "Ingo dusubire mu bisagara twigishijemwo Ijambo ry’Imana, turabe ingene bene Data bifashe." 37 Baranaba yipfuza ko Yohana Mariko ajana na bo, 38 ariko Pawulo we abona ko bitabereye ko bojana kuko yigeze kubata i Pamfiliya, ntiyabandanyana na bo mu gikorwa. 39 Nuko haba ukutumvikana gukomeye, bituma batandukana. Baranaba ajana na Mariko, bafata ubwato baja i Kupuro. 40 Pawulo ahitamwo kujana na Silasi, bamaze gusengerwa n’abizera bakabaragiza ubuntu bw’Umwami Imana. 41 Aca agendagenda muri Siriya no muri Kilikiya, akomeza amashengero yaho.
