Masengo 1
1 Alakwe che Teofilo, mu chitabu chachilongolele nalembile yankati indu yanayose iŵaitesile Che Yesu ni iŵaijigenye chitandile kundanda kwa masengo gakwe,
Encwadini yami yakuqala, Theyofelasi, ngalandisa ngakho konke uJesu akwenzayo lakufundisayo
2 mpaka lyuŵa lila paŵajigalikwe kwinani. Nambo akanaŵe kwigalikwa kwinani ŵapele malajisyo ga ulamusi wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu achinduna ŵaŵaasagwile ŵala.
kwaze kwafika usuku enyukiswa ngalo esiya ezulwini, esenike izeluleko ngoMoya oNgcwele kubapostoli ayebakhethile.
3 Kwa moŵa alobaini pakumala chiwa chao, Che Yesu ŵaakopochele ŵanyawo sooni ni sooni achilosyaga kuti ŵaliji ŵajumi. Ŵanyawo ŵammweni nombejo ŵaŵechete nawo yankati Umwenye wa Akunnungu.
Ngemva kokuhlupheka kwakhe, waziveza kubo, wabapha iziqiniseko ezinengi njengobufakazi bokuthi wayephila. Wabonakala kubo okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane, ekhuluma ngombuso kaNkulunkulu.
4 Katema kampepe paŵalyaga nawo ŵapele chilanga chi, “Nkasatyoka ku Yelusalemu, nambo ndindilile ntuuka walanjile Atati umwambilikene njisalaga ngani syakwe.
Wathi esidla labo ngelinye ilanga wabalaya wathi, “Lingasuki eJerusalema, lilindele isipho esathenjiswa nguBaba, elangizwa ngikhuluma ngaso.
5 Pakuŵa che Yohana ŵabatisye ni meesi, nambo pangakaŵa moŵa ŵanyamwe chinchibatiswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.”
Ngoba uJohane wabhaphathiza ngamanzi, kodwa ngemva kwensuku ezimbalwa lizabhaphathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele.”
6 Nipele, achinduna paŵasongangene ni Che Yesu pamo ŵausisye, “Ambuje, ana katema kano ni pachimwauchisye sooni Ŵaisilaeli Umwenye?”
Basebesithi gwaqa ndawonye bambuza bathi, “Nkosi, khathesi usuzabuyisela umbuso ko-Israyeli na?”
7 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Katema ni lyuŵa lya indu yo ili paasi pa ulamusi wa Atati ŵangu, ni ngaŵa masengo genu kumanyilila chiiŵe chakachi.
Wathi kubo: “Kakusikho kwenu ukwazi izikhathi loba insuku uBaba azimisileyo ngamandla akhe.
8 Nambo pachantuluchile Mbumu jwa Akunnungu chinchipochela machili ni sooni chinchiŵa ŵaumboni ŵangu musi wa Yelusalemu ni mu ilambo ya Yudea yose ni Samalia natamuno kumbesi kwa chilambo.”
Kodwa lina lizakwamukela amandla nxa uMoya oNgcwele esefikile kini, njalo lizakuba ngofakazi bami eJerusalema lakulo lonke eleJudiya laseSamariya kanye lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba.”
9 Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵajigalikwe kwinani akuno ŵanawose achinnolechesyaga, liunde lyaunichile ni ŵanyawo nganiŵaona sooni.
Esekutshilo lokhu, wenyukiswa phambi kwamehlo abo, iyezi lamfihla, abazabe besambona.
10 Achinduna ŵala paŵaliji nkulolechesya kwiunde Che Yesu ali nkwaula, papopo ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵaŵawasile iwalo yeswela, ŵajimi nkuŵandikana nawo,
Babejolozele esibhakabhakeni ngesikhathi esenyuka, masinyazana nje kwema amadoda amabili eduze kwabo egqoke okumhlophe.
11 ni ŵatite, “Ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa ku Galilaya, ana ligongo lyachi nkwima pelepa ndi nkulolechesya kwinani? Ŵele Che Yesu ŵajigalikwe kwinani kutyochela kukwenu chachiika sooni chisau intite pakwawona ali nkwaula kwinani.”
Athi kubo, “Madoda aseGalile, limeleni lapha lijolozele esibhakabhakeni na? UJesu lo osethethwe kini wasiwa ezulwini uzabuya ngayonale indlela elimbone esenyuka ngayo esiya ezulwini.”
12 Nipele achinduna ŵala ŵaujile ku Yelusalemu kutyochela ku chikwesya cha Miseituni, chichaliji pachiŵandi ni musi wo chisau ni lwendo lwa kilomita jimo.
Basebebuyela eJerusalema besuka eNtabeni yama-Oliva, okungumango ongaba likhilomitha kusuka edolobheni.
13 Paŵaiche mmusi ŵajinjile mu chuumba cha penani chiŵatamaga, nombewo ŵaliji che Petulo ni che Yohana ni che Yakobo ni che Andulea ni che Filipo ni che Tomasi ni che Batolomayo ni che Matayo ni che Yakobo mwanagwao che Alufayo ni che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa Selote, ligongo ŵaliji jwakumenyanila chilambo chakwe ni che Yuda mwanagwao che Yakobo.
Ekufikeni kwabo bakhuphukela endlini ephezulu lapho ababehlala khona. Ababelapho babebalisa: uPhethro, uJohane, uJakhobe lo-Andreya; uFiliphu loThomasi; uBhatholomewu loMatewu; uJakhobe indodana ka-Alifewu, uSimoni umZilothi, loJudasi indodana kaJakhobe.
14 Ŵanawose wo pamo ni achakongwe ŵampepe pamo ni che Maliamu achikulugwe Che Yesu ni achapwakwe, ŵaliji nkusongangana pamo kupopela kwa ntima umo.
Bonke laba bahlangana kokuphela bekhuleka, bendawonye labesifazane loMariya unina kaJesu kanye labafowabo bakaJesu.
15 Pa moŵa go ŵajimi che Petulo pasikati ja ŵakukulupilila achinjakwe ŵaŵasongangene, waliji mpingo wa ŵandu mia moja ni ishilini.
Ngalezonsuku uPhethro wasukuma phakathi kwamakholwa (ixuku elalingafika ikhulu elilamatshumi amabili)
16 Che Petulo ŵatite, “Ŵakukulupilila achinjangu, yaŵajilwe Malembelo ga Akunnungu gamalile. Kalakala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaŵechete kwa kang'wa ji che Daudi, che Daudi ŵalondwele nkati che Yuda, juŵaalongwesye aŵala ŵandu ŵaŵankamwile Che Yesu.
wathi, “Bazalwane, uMbhalo kwakumele ugcwaliseke, lokho okwakhulunywa nguMoya oNgcwele endulo ngomlomo kaDavida mayelana loJudasi owaba ngumkhokheli walabo ababopha uJesu.
17 Che Yuda ŵaliji jumo jwetu pakuŵa ŵasagulikwe ni Che Yesu tupanganye masengo pamo nawo.”
Wayengomunye wenani lethu njalo waba lengxenye emsebenzini wethu wobuvangeli.”
18 Ngunda wasumichikwe kwa mbiya siŵasipatile che Yuda kwa ligongo lya kusinonyela mbiya sya chigongomalo. Ni ŵagwile mwelemo, ŵapapwiche ni matuumbo gakwe gose gakopweche.
(Ngomvuzo awuzuzayo ngenxa yobubi bakhe, uJudasi wathenga isiqinti; khonapho wawa ngekhanda, isidumbu sakhe sadubuka, amathumbu akhe wonke agcwala phansi.
19 Ni ngani ja chiwa chi che Yuda jamanyiche kwa ŵanawose ŵaŵatemi ku Yelusalemu, nipele ngunda wo waŵilanjikwe mchiŵecheto chao Akelidama, malumbo gakwe, “Ngunda wa Miasi.”
Bonke eJerusalema bezwa ngalokho, yikho babiza isiqinti leso ngolimi lwabo bathi yi-Akhelidama, okutsho iSiqinti seGazi.)
20 Che Petulo ŵatite, “Pakuŵa ilembekwe mu chitabu cha Sabuli kuti, ‘Pakutama pakwe paŵe masame ni anapagwe mundu juchatame mwelemo.’ Sooni ilembekwe kuti, ‘Masengo gakwe ga kwimilila atole jwine.’
UPhethro wathi, “Ngoba kulotshiwe encwadini yamaHubo ukuthi: ‘Sengathi indawo yakhe ingaba ngamanxiwa; kungabi lamuntu ozahlala kuyo,’ njalo, ‘Kakube lomunye ozathatha isikhundla sakhe sobukhokheli.’
21 “Kwapele, ikuŵajilwa asagulikwe mundu jumo mwa ŵandu ŵaŵajesile noweji katema kose Ambuje Che Yesu paŵajendagajendaga pamo noweji,
Ngakho kufanele ukuba sikhethe omunye wamadoda abekade elathi isikhathi sonke iNkosi uJesu isesephakathi kwethu,
22 kutandila katema che Yohana paŵabatisyaga mpaka lyuŵa lila paŵajigalikwe Che Yesu kwinani kutyochela kukwetu. Jwelejo aŵe jwa umboni pamo ni uweji nkati kusyuka ku Che Yesu.”
kusukela ekubhaphathizweni kwakhe nguJohane kuze kufike esikhathini lapho uJesu athathwa khona kithi. Ukuze omunye wabo laba abe ngufakazi kanye lathi ngokuvuka kwakhe kwabafileyo.”
23 Pelepo ŵakolasile meena ga ŵandu ŵaŵili, che Yusufu jwakuŵilanjikwa che Balisaba pane akuŵilanjikwa che Yusto ni jwine che Matia.
Ngakho basebemisa amadoda amabili, uJosefa owayethiwa nguBhasabhasi (esaziwa njalo ngokuthi nguJustusi) loMathiyasi.
24 Nipele ŵapopesile achitiji, “Ambuje, alakwe ŵakujimanyilila mitima ja ŵandu wose, sambano ntulanjile jwapi mwa ŵaŵili ŵa jumunsagwile alakwe,
Basebekhuleka bathi, “Nkosi, uyayazi inhliziyo yomuntu munye ngamunye. Sitshengise ukuthi nguphi phakathi kwalaba ababili omkhethileyo
25 kuti ajigale lipesa lya masengo ga unduna uŵaulesile che Yuda ni kwaula kuŵaŵajilwe.”
ukuba athathe lesisikhundla sobupostoli, uJudasi asitshiyayo esiya lapho ayefanele khona.”
26 Ni ŵatesile gudugudu ni gudugudu jila jangwilile che Matia, nipele che Matia ŵaŵalanjikwe pamo ni achinduna kumi na moja ŵala.
Basebesenza inkatho, yadla uMathiyasi, wasesengezwa kubapostoli abalitshumi lanye.
