| The complex situation of Catholicism in Great Britain had results in their Colonies. |
Hali tata ya Ukatoliki katika Uingereza ilikuwa na matokeo katika Makoloni yao. |
| At the time of the American revolution, Catholics formed approximately 1.6% of the total American population of the original 13 colonies. |
Wakati wa mapinduzi ya Amerika, Wakatoliki waliunda takriban 1.6% ya jumla ya wakazi wa Amerika ya makoloni 13 ya asili. |
| If Catholics were seen as potential enemies of the British state, Irish Catholics, subject to British rule, were doubly-damned. |
Iwapo Wakatoliki walionekana kuwa adui wa taifa la Uingereza, Wakatoliki wa Ireland, chini ya utawala wa Waingereza, walilaaniwa maradufu. |
| In Ireland they had been subject to British domination. |
Huko Eire walikuwa wametawaliwa na Waingereza. |
| In America Catholics were still forbidden from settling in some of the colonies. |
Huko Amerika Wakatoliki walikuwa bado wamekatazwa kukaa katika baadhi ya makoloni. |
| 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. |
Ingawa mkuu wa imani yao aliishi Roma, walikuwa chini ya uwakilishi rasmi wa Askofu wa Kikatoliki wa jimbo la London, James Talbot. |
| When War began, Bishop Talbot declared his faithfulness to the British Crown. |
Vita vilipoanza, Askofu Talbot alitangaza uaminifu wake kwa Taji ya Uingereza. |
| (If he had done otherwise, Catholics in England would have been in trouble. Anti-Catholic sentiment still ran high.) |
(Kama angefanya vinginevyo, Wakatoliki nchini Uingereza wangekuwa katika matatizo. Hisia za kupinga Ukatoliki bado zilienea.) |
| He forbade any Colonial priest to serve Communion. |
Alimkataza kuhani yeyote wa Kikoloni kutumikia Komunyo. |
| This made practice of the faith impossible. |
Hii ilifanya mazoezi ya imani kutowezekana. |
| This created sympathy for the Colonial rebels. |
Hii ilijenga huruma kwa waasi wa Kikoloni. |
| The Continental Army's alliance with the French increased sympathy for the faith. |
Muungano wa Jeshi la Bara na Wafaransa uliongeza huruma kwa imani. |
| When the French fleet arrived in Newport, Rhode Island, the colony repealed the Act of 1664 and allowed citizenship to Catholics. |
Wakati meli za Ufaransa zilipofika Newport, Rhode Island, koloni ilibatilisha Sheria ya 1664 na kuruhusu uraia kwa Wakatoliki. |
| (This anticipated the provision of the Constitutional Bill of Rights which would strike anti-Catholic laws from the books.) |
(Hii ilitarajia utoaji wa Mswada wa Haki za Kikatiba ambao ungeondoa sheria zinazopinga Ukatoliki kutoka kwenye vitabu.) |
| 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. |
Baada ya vita, Papa aliunda Askofu wa Marekani, John Carroll -- mzao wa Carrolls sawa ambaye alikuwa amesaidia kupatikana Maryland - na Dayosisi ya Marekani inayowasiliana moja kwa moja na Roma. |
| The British government commanded General Thomas Gage to enforce the Intolerable Acts and shut down the Massachusetts legislature. |
Serikali ya Uingereza ilimuamuru Jenerali Thomas Gage kutekeleza Matendo Yasiyovumilika na kulifunga bunge la Massachusetts. |
| Gage decided to confiscate a stockpile of colonial arms located in Concord. |
Gage aliamua kutaifisha hifadhi ya silaha za kikoloni zilizokuwa Concord. |
| On April 19, 1775, Gage's troops marched to Concord. |
Mnamo Aprili 19, 1775, askari wa Gage waliandamana hadi 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. |
Njiani, katika mji wa Lexington, Wamarekani ambao walikuwa wameonywa mapema na Paul Revere na wengine wa harakati za Uingereza walifanya jaribio la kuwazuia wanajeshi. |
| No one knows which side fired the first shot, but it sparked battle on Lexington Green between the British and the Minutemen. |
Hakuna anayejua ni upande gani uliofyatua risasi ya kwanza, lakini ilizua vita dhidi ya Lexington Green kati ya Waingereza na Wana Minutemen. |
| Faced against an overwhelmingly superior number of British regular troops in an open field, the Minutemen were quickly routed. |
Wakikabiliwa na idadi kubwa zaidi ya wanajeshi wa kawaida wa Uingereza kwenye uwanja wazi, Minutemen walitimuliwa haraka. |
| Nevertheless, alarms sounded through the countryside. |
Hata hivyo, kengele zilisikika mashambani. |
| The colonial militias poured in and were able to launch guerrilla attacks on the British while they marched on to Concord. |
Wanamgambo wa kikoloni walimiminika na kuweza kuanzisha mashambulizi ya msituni kwa Waingereza huku wakielekea Concord. |
| The colonials amassed of troops at Concord. |
Wakoloni walikusanya askari huko Concord. |
| They engaged the British in force there, and they were able to repulse them. |
Waliwashirikisha Waingereza kwa nguvu huko, na waliweza kuwarudisha nyuma. |
| They then claimed the contents of the armory. |
Kisha walidai yaliyomo kwenye ghala la silaha. |
| The British retreated to Boston under a constant and withering fire from all sides. |
Waingereza walirudi Boston chini ya moto wa mara kwa mara na unaokauka kutoka pande zote. |
| Only a reinforcing column with artillery support on the outskirts of Boston prevented the British withdrawal from becoming a total rout. |
Ni safu ya uimarishaji tu yenye usaidizi wa silaha kwenye viunga vya Boston ilizuia kujiondoa kwa Waingereza kutoka kwa kushindwa kabisa. |
| 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. |
Siku iliyofuata Waingereza waliamka na kumkuta Boston akiwa amezungukwa na wakoloni 20,000 wenye silaha, wakimiliki shingo ya ardhi hadi peninsula mji ulisimama. |
