Acts 1
1 I indeed made the former treatise, O Theophilus, about all things that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Thĩinĩ wa ibuku rĩakwa rĩa mbere, wee Theofilo-rĩ, nĩndakwandĩkĩire maũndũ mothe marĩa Jesũ aambĩrĩirie gwĩka na kũrutana
2 until a day in which he was taken up, having commanded, through the Holy Spirit, the apostles whom he chose,
nginya mũthenya ũrĩa oirwo agĩtwarwo igũrũ thuutha wa kũhe atũmwo arĩa aathuurĩte mawatho na ũndũ wa Roho Mũtheru.
3 to whom he also presented himself living, after his suffering, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days, and speaking the things about the kingdom of God.
Thuutha wa kũnyariirĩka gwake, akĩĩonania kũrĩ andũ acio na akĩheana imenyithia nyingĩ cia kuonania atĩ aarĩ muoyo. Nĩamoimĩrĩire ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩna, na akĩaria ũhoro ũkoniĩ ũthamaki wa Ngai.
4 And being assembled together, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, Which, he said, ye heard from me.
Hĩndĩ ĩmwe, rĩrĩa aarĩĩanagĩra nao, nĩamathire, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Mũtikoime Jerusalemu, no etererai kĩheo kĩrĩa Ithe witũ eeranĩire, o kĩrĩa inyuĩ mwanaigua ngĩaria ũhoro wakĩo.
5 Because John indeed immersed in water, but ye will be immersed in the Holy Spirit after not many of these days.
Nĩgũkorwo Johana aabatithanagia na maaĩ, no inyuĩ mũrĩbatithio na Roho Mũtheru mĩthenya mĩingĩ ĩtaanathira.”
6 Indeed therefore having come together, they questioned him, saying, Lord, do thou restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa maagomanire hamwe makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ihinda rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo ũgũcookeria andũ a Isiraeli ũthamaki wao?”
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father established in his own authority.
Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Ti ũhoro wanyu kũmenya ciathĩ o na kana mahinda marĩa Ithe witũ atuĩte na ũhoti wake mwene.
8 But ye will receive the power of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you. And ye will be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and as far as of the extremity of the earth.
No nĩmũrĩheo hinya rĩrĩa Roho Mũtheru arĩũka igũrũ rĩanyu; na inyuĩ nĩmũgatuĩka aira akwa thĩinĩ wa Jerusalemu, na Judea guothe, na Samaria, na nginya ituri ciothe cia thĩ.”
9 And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes.
Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, akĩoywo na igũrũ o meroreire, narĩo itu rĩkĩmũhumbĩra magĩtiga kũmuona rĩngĩ.
10 And while they were gazing at his going into the sky, behold, two men had also stood by them in white apparel,
O hĩndĩ ĩyo maikarĩte macũthĩrĩirie mũno akĩambata matu-inĩ-rĩ, o rĩmwe andũ eerĩ mehumbĩte nguo njerũ makĩrũgama o hau maarĩ.
11 who also said, Men, Galileans, why stand ye gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will so come, in that same way as ye saw him going into the sky.
Makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya a Galili, mũrũgamĩte haha mũcũthĩrĩirie igũrũ nĩkĩ? Jesũ o ro ũcio, ũrĩa weherio harĩ inyuĩ aatwarwo igũrũ-rĩ, agaacooka o ro ũguo mwamuona agĩthiĩ.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem having a sabbath day journey.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩcooka Jerusalemu moimĩte Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ, mũigana wa rũgendo rũrĩa rũngĩathiirwo mũthenya wa Thabatũ kuuma itũũra inene.
13 And when they came in, they went up into the upper floor where they were lodging, including, Peter and James and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
Rĩrĩa maakinyire, makĩambata nyũmba ya igũrũ ĩrĩa maikaraga. Nao andũ arĩa maarĩ ho maarĩ Petero, na Johana, na Jakubu na Anderea; Filipu na Toma, na Baritholomayo na Mathayo; Jakubu mũrũ wa Alufayo, na Simoni Mũzelote, na Judasi mũrũ wa Jakubu.
14 All these men were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Othe makĩnyiitanĩra hamwe, makĩrũmanĩrĩria kũhooya, hamwe na atumia, na Mariamu nyina wa Jesũ, o na ariũ a nyina na Jesũ.
15 And in those days, Peter, having stood up in the midst of the disciples (and there was a multitude of names at the same place, about a hundred twenty), he said,
Na rĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ macio Petero akĩrũgama gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ arĩa meetĩkĩtie (gĩkundi kĩa andũ ta igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ),
16 Men, brothers, it was necessary for this scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus,
akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, Maandĩko no nginya mangĩahingire marĩa Roho Mũtheru aaririe tene na kanua ka Daudi ũhoro ũkoniĩ Judasi, ũrĩa watongoririe andũ arĩa maanyiitire Jesũ.
17 because he was numbered with us, and received a share of this ministry.
Aarĩ ũmwe witũ na nĩagwatanagĩra na ithuĩ ũtungata-inĩ ũyũ.”
18 (Indeed therefore this man obtained a field from the reward of his unrighteousness, and having become headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
(Judasi nĩagũrire gĩthaka na kĩheo kĩrĩa aamũkĩrire nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wake. Nake akĩgũa gĩthaka-inĩ kĩu na mũnduru, nayo nda yake ĩgĩtathũka, namo mara mothe makiuma.
19 And it became known to all those dwelling at Jerusalem, so as to call that field in their own dialect, Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)
Andũ othe a kũu Jerusalemu makĩigua ũhoro ũcio, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩĩta gĩthaka kĩu na rũthiomi rwao Ekiladama, ũguo nĩ kuuga, Gĩthaka kĩa Thakame.)
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation become desolate, and let no man be dwelling in it, and, Let another take his office.
“Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Thaburi atĩrĩ, “‘Mũciĩ wake ũrokira ihooru; kũroaga mũndũ wa gũtũũra kuo,’ ningĩ gũkaandĩkwo atĩrĩ, “‘Ũtongoria wake ũrooywo nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ.’
21 It is necessary therefore, of the men who accompanied us during all the time during which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩ kwagĩrĩire gũthuurwo mũndũ ũmwe kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa makoretwo marĩ hamwe na ithuĩ ihinda rĩothe rĩrĩa Mwathani Jesũ aaceeraga na ithuĩ,
22 having begun from the immersion of John to the day that he was taken up from us, for one of these to become a witness with us of his resurrection.
kwambĩrĩria hĩndĩ ya ũbatithio wa Johana nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ oirwo akĩambata akĩehera harĩ ithuĩ. Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũmwe wa aya no nginya atuĩke mũira hamwe na ithuĩ ũhoro-inĩ wa kũriũka gwake.”
23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩrũgamia andũ eerĩ, Jusufu ũrĩa wetagwo Barasaba (na no oĩkaine ta Jusito), na Mathia.
24 And having prayed, they said, Thou, Lord, knowing the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou have chosen
Magĩcooka makĩhooya makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, wee nĩũũĩ ngoro ya mũndũ wothe. Tuonie nũũ wa aya eerĩ ũthuurĩte
25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas transgressed to go to his own place.
nĩguo oe ũtungata ũyũ wa gũtuĩka mũtũmwo, ũrĩa Judasi aatigire nĩguo athiĩ kũrĩa kũrĩ gwake.”
26 And they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Magĩcooka magĩcuuka mĩtĩ, naguo mũtĩ ũkĩgwĩra Mathia; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩongererwo harĩ atũmwo acio ikũmi na ũmwe.
