| The complex situation of Catholicism in Great Britain had results in their Colonies. |
Ibibazo bikomeye by'Abagatolika bo mu Bwongereza byagize ingaruka zikomeye no mu duce bwari bwarakoronije muri Amerika. |
| At the time of the American revolution, Catholics formed approximately 1.6% of the total American population of the original 13 colonies. |
Abaturage ba Amerika bagera kuri 1.6 ku ijana bari Abagatolika gihe habagaho ihinduramatwara rya rubanda. |
| If Catholics were seen as potential enemies of the British state, Irish Catholics, subject to British rule, were doubly-damned. |
Nubwo Abagatolika muri rusange babonwaga nk'abanzi b'igihugu mu Bwongereza, abakomoka muri Irilande bo byari akarusho. |
| In Ireland they had been subject to British domination. |
Irilande yari yarigaruriwe n'u Bwongereza. |
| In America Catholics were still forbidden from settling in some of the colonies. |
Hari uduce twinshi two muri Amerika Abagatolika batari bemerewe guturamo. |
| Although the head of their faith dwelt in Rome, they were under the official representation of the Catholic Bishop of the London diocese, one James Talbot. |
N'ubwo ikicaro gikuru cy'Abagatolika cyari i Roma, abo mu Bwongereza bo bari bahagarariwe na Musenyeri James Talbot, umushumba wa Diyosezi Gatolika ya Londres. |
| When War began, Bishop Talbot declared his faithfulness to the British Crown. |
Igihe rero intambara yatangiraga, Musenyeri Talbot we yatangaje ko yari ashyigikiye ubwami bw'u Bwongereza. |
| (If he had done otherwise, Catholics in England would have been in trouble. Anti-Catholic sentiment still ran high.) |
Abagatolika bari bakirebwa ay'ingwe mu Bwongereza bari guhura n'ibibazo bikomeye iyo uwo Musenyeri atabigenza atyo. |
| He forbade any Colonial priest to serve Communion. |
Yabujije abapadiri bose mu ntara zakoronijwe muri Amerika gusoma Misa. |
| This made practice of the faith impossible. |
Ibyo byatumye ibyo gusenga bihagarara. |
| This created sympathy for the Colonial rebels. |
Byanatumye kandi abantu benshi bashyigikira umutwe warwanyaga ubukoloni bw'Abongereza. |
| The Continental Army's alliance with the French increased sympathy for the faith. |
Ingabo z'u Bwongereza ziyunze n'iz'Abafaransa biyemeza kurwaninira idini. |
| When the French fleet arrived in Newport, Rhode Island, the colony repealed the Act of 1664 and allowed citizenship to Catholics. |
Igihe amato y'Abafaransa yageraga ahitwa Newport, muri leta ya Rhode Island, abakuru ba za ntara zakoronijwe bahise bakuraho amategeko yimaga Abagatolika ubwenegihugu. |
| (This anticipated the provision of the Constitutional Bill of Rights which would strike anti-Catholic laws from the books.) |
Ibyo kandi byatumye igihe itegekonshinga ryatorwaga, amategeko yarwanyaga Abagatolika yarahise avanwaho. |
| After the war, the Pope created an American Bishop, John Carroll -- a descendant of the same Carrolls who had helped found Maryland -- and an American Diocese communicating directly with Rome. |
Intambara irangiye, Papa yahise ashyiraho Diyosezi Gatolika ya Amerika, anashyiraho Musenyeri John Carrol ngo ayihagararire. |
| The British government commanded General Thomas Gage to enforce the Intolerable Acts and shut down the Massachusetts legislature. |
Leta y'u Bwongereza yategetse Jenerari Thomas Gage gukaza umurego mu gukoresha amategeko yarwanyaga abadashyigikiye ubutegetsi kandi agahita anafunga Inteko Nshingamategeko ya Massashusetts. |
| Gage decided to confiscate a stockpile of colonial arms located in Concord. |
Gage kandi yiyemeje gufatira intwarwo nyinshi zari zibitse ahitwa Concord. |
| On April 19, 1775, Gage's troops marched to Concord. |
Ku itariki ya 19 Mata 1775, ingabo za Jenerari Gage zateye Concord. |
| On the way, at the town of Lexington, Americans who had been warned in advance by Paul Revere and others of the British movements made an attempt to stop the troops. |
Mu gihe zari mu nzira zigeze mu mugi witwa Lexington, Abanyamerika bari baburiwe n'uwitwa Paul Revere hamwe n'abandi biyemeje guca icyuho mu ngabo z'Abongereza bagakumira icyo gitero. |
| No one knows which side fired the first shot, but it sparked battle on Lexington Green between the British and the Minutemen. |
Nta wuzi uruhande rwakomye imbarutso bwa mbere, gusa iyo ni yo yabaye intandaro y'urugamba rwabereye Lexington Green hagati y'Abongereza n'imitwe y'abigometse ku butegetsi bwabo. |
| Faced against an overwhelmingly superior number of British regular troops in an open field, the Minutemen were quickly routed. |
Imitwe y'abigometse ku butegetsi yakubise inshuro kubera ko abasirikare b'Abongereza bari benshi cyane kandi barwanira ahantu h'umurambi. |
| Nevertheless, alarms sounded through the countryside. |
N'ubwo byagenze bityo ariko, inkuru yakwiriye hirya no hino. |
| The colonial militias poured in and were able to launch guerrilla attacks on the British while they marched on to Concord. |
Ingabo zírwanya ubutegetsi zagabye igitero bunyeshyamba ku ngabo z'Abongereza zari zigiye i Concord. |
| The colonials amassed of troops at Concord. |
Abarwanya ubutegetsi bakoranyirije ingabo nyinshi cyane i Concord. |
| They engaged the British in force there, and they were able to repulse them. |
Baharwaniye n'Abongereze kandi barabatsinsura. |
| They then claimed the contents of the armory. |
Nuko bafata ububiko bw'intwaro. |
| The British retreated to Boston under a constant and withering fire from all sides. |
Abongereza bahungiye i Boston kandi bakomeza kugabwaho ibitero byaturukaga impande zose. |
| Only a reinforcing column with artillery support on the outskirts of Boston prevented the British withdrawal from becoming a total rout. |
Umutwe ukoresha imbunda nini hafi ya Boston niwo watabaye Abongereza utuma badakubitwa inshuro mu buryo budasubirwaho. |
| The following day the British woke up to find Boston surrounded by 20,000 armed colonists, occupying the neck of land extending to the peninsula the city stood on. |
Bukeye bwaho, Abongereza basanze abigometse ku butegetsi bagera ku 20,000 bagose Boston yose. |
