Acts 1
1 I indeed made the former treatise, O Theophilus, about all things that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Imbuka inibañoli kale, Tiofiliusi, ibawambi zonse zabatangi kutenda ni kuluta Jesu,
2 until a day in which he was taken up, having commanded, through the Holy Spirit, the apostles whom he chose,
kutwala izuba lyabatambulwa kwiwulu. Ichi chibatendahali hamana kuha itaelo cha Luhuho Lujolola kuba Apositola babaketi.
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.
Kuzwa hakunyanda kwakwe, abalileti iye mwine nahala kubali ni bupaki buzuweka. Mumazuba achita makumi wone abalibonahazi kubali, mi abawambi ziamana ni mubuso we Ireeza.
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.
Habali kulikopanya nabo, ababalaeli kuti kanji bazwi mwa Jerusalema, kono balindile insepiso ye Shetu, cheyo, nati, “Mubazuwi kwangu
5 Because John indeed immersed in water, but ye will be immersed in the Holy Spirit after not many of these days.
kuti initi Johani abali kukolobeza ni menzi, kono inwe kamukolobezwe muLuhuho luJolola mumazubazana akezite.”
6 Indeed therefore having come together, they questioned him, saying, Lord, do thou restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?
Munako ibabakungene hamwina babamubuzi, “Simwine, iyi nji nako yeti nolete mubuso kwa Isilaele?”
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father established in his own authority.
Abawambi kubali, “kahena njikwenu kuti mwizibe inako kapa inkalulo yabatomi Tayo chamaata akwe.
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.
Kono kamutambule inguzu, munako yaLuhuho Lujolola heti nilwize hehulu lyenu, mi kamube impaki zangu monse mwa Jerusalema ni mwa Judeya ni Samaria, ni kutwala kumamanimani ekanda.”
9 And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes.
Simwine Jesu hamana kuwamba izi zintu, nibalolete kwilu, abatwalwa kwilu, mi ikope ni lyamuwunguli hamenso abo.
10 And while they were gazing at his going into the sky, behold, two men had also stood by them in white apparel,
Habachitutubalile kwiwulu nakaya, hahobulyo, bakwame bobele babazimene hembali ni bazwete zituba.
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.
Nibati, “Inwe mubakwame ba Galileya, chinzi hamuzimene aha ni mulolete kwiwulu? Uzu Jesu wayenda kwiwulu mwakabole munzila iswana sina mumwamubonena nakaya kwiwulu.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem having a sabbath day journey.
Kuzwaho nibabola kwa Jerusalema kuzwa kwi Lundu la Olivi, lina hafwihi ni Jerusalema, musipili umana izuba Lesabata.
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.
Habasika, nibatanta mumuzako wina kwiwulu, kubabali kwikala. Ibali nji Pitolosi, Johani, Jacobo, Andriasi, Filipi, Tomasi, Bartolome, Mateu, Jacobo mwana wa Alufeya, ni Simoni Zeloti, ni Juda mwana wa Jacobo.
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.
Bonse babakopene kuba chintu chimwina, kuzwila habusu kulapela katata. Babena nabo ibali banakazi, Maria nyina Jesu, ni bache bakwe.
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,
Mwawo mazuba Pitolosi abazimi mukati kabanakwabo, balikana bantu basika ha 120, mi nati,
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,
Bakwetu, kuyelele kuti chiñoletwe chizuzilizwe, kutalusa kuti Luhuho Lujolola lubawambi itanzi chakaholo ka Davida kuamana ni Judasi, yabaetelele babakasumini Jesu.
17 because he was numbered with us, and received a share of this ministry.
Mukuti ibali zumwi wetu mi abatambuli inkabelo yakwe yempo yelinu iluko.”
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.
(Linu uzu mukwame abawuli luwa chentifo zabawani chabubilala bwakwe, mi haho natangisa kuwisa mutwi, mi mumili wakwe niwañatuka kwiyaluka, mi zamwibumo lyakwe zonse nizalongotoka.
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.)
Bonse babalikuhala mwa Jerusalema babazuwi zateni, chobulyo babasumpi ulo luwa muchishobo chabo “Akeldama,” njikuti, “Luwa lwa Malaha.”)
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.
Mukuti kuñoletwe mumbuka ya Lisamu, 'Musiye luwa lwakwe lube lusinyehete, mi kanji musiyi nanga muntu umwina kuhala mo'; 'Muleke zumwi ahinde chitulo chabuyenzi bwakwe.'
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,
Chobulyo, kusakahala kuti umwina wa bakwame yabali kuyendanga naswe inako yonse Simwine Jesu habali kuyendanga mukati ketu,
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.
kukatangila hakolobezwa kwa Johani kuya kwizuba lyabazwiswa kwetu, utameha kuba impaki hamwina naswe kuamana nikubuka kwakwe kubafu.”
23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Babaleti habusu bakwame bobele, Josefa yosumpwa Barsabasi, yabali kusumpwa hape kuti nji Justusi, ni Matias.
24 And having prayed, they said, Thou, Lord, knowing the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou have chosen
Babalapeli nibati, “Iwe, Simwine, wizi inkulo zabantu bonse, chobulyo wizibahaze kuti njeni mukati kaba bobele yobaketi.
25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas transgressed to go to his own place.
kuhinda chibaka mweli ikolo ni buapositola waba choli Judasi kuya kuchibaka chakwe,”
26 And they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Babalauli; mi idaula zibawili ha Mateu mi ababikwa hepalo yamuapostola wekumi ni wumwina.
