Acts 1
1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Mlongo Teofili, muchitabu cha kutumbula nayandiki kugavala mambu goha, Yesu geagahengili na kugawula kwakona kutumbula lihengu laki,
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
mbaka ligono lila Yesu peatoliwi kunani kwa Chapanga. Avalagizi munjila ya Mpungu Msopi vamitumi vala veavahagwili.
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
Mulukumbi lwa magono alobaini kuhuma mulifwa laki, avahumalili pamahele kulangisa kuvya avi mumi. Vamuwene mwene alongili nawu ndava ya Unkosi wa Chapanga.
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
Lukumbi lwe akonganiki nawu pamonga avalagazili. “Mkotoka kuwuka pa Yelusalemu, ndi mlindila njombi yeavalagazili Dadi, yemmali kuniyuwana nilongela ndava yaki.
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Yohani abatizi kwa manji, nambu magono gadebe gegigelekela, nyenye yati mbatiziwa kwa Mpungu Msopi.”
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
Vanalihengu pavakonganiki pamonga na Yesu, vakamkota, “Wu Bambu, lukumbi ulu ndi pawiwuyisa unkosi wula kwa Isilaeli?”
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Lusenje na lukumbi lwa mambu ago uvili pahi ya uhotola wa Dadi wangu, lihengu linu lepi kumanya yati givya ndali.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
Nambu lukumbi Mpungu Msopi peakuvahelelela nyenye, ndi yati mwipokela makakala na kuvya mwemwijova ndava yangu pagati ya muji wa Yelusalemu pamulima woha wa ku Yudea na ku Samaliya, na hati pamwishu wa mulima.”
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Peamali kujova genago, kuni voha vakumlolokesa, akatoliwa kunani kwa Chapanga, lihundi likamfiya vakotoka kumlola kavili.
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Pevayendalili kulolokesa kunani, kuni mwene ihamba, bahapo vandu vavili vevawalili nyula za msopi vayimili papipi na vene,
11 who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
vakajova, “Nyenye vandu va ku Galilaya! Ndava kyani myima kulolokesa kunani? Yesu mwenuyu mweatoliwi kuhuma kwinu, mewawa yati iwuya kavili ngati chemumuwene ihamba kunani kwa Chapanga.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Kangi vamitumi vakawuya Yelusalemu kuhuma kuchitumbi chila chechikemelewa Mizeituni chechavili utali wa kilomita yimonga kuhuma kumujini.
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Pavahikili pamuji vakakwela kugolofa kwevatamayi, vavi Petili na Yohani na Yakobo na Andelea na Filipi na Tomasi na Batolomei na Matei na Yakobo mwana wa Alufayo, Simoni Zeloti chikundi cha Vayawudi vevibela ulongosi wa Loma, na Yuda mwana wa Yakobo.
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Voha ava vakakonganeka kumuyupa Chapanga, pamonga na vadala na Maliya nyina waki Yesu na valongo vaki.
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
Magono ago, Petili ayimili pagati ya valongo vamsadika vala vevakonganiki, voha vavi vandu miya yimonga na ishilini,
16 “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
akajova, “Valongo vangu, yaganikiwi Mayandiku Gamsopi gatimilayi, pandu pala Mpungu Msopi, alotili mu malovi ga Daudi kumvala Yuda mweavalongwisi vala vevamkamwili Yesu.
17 For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
Yuda avi mmonga wa chikundi chitu muni ahaguliwi kuhenga lihengu la chitumi pamonga na tete.”
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
Mwene agulili mgunda kwa mashonga geagapatili ndava ya kumng'anamukila Yesu, akagwa pahi na kupapuka, maleme gaki gakahuma kuvala.
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
Lijambu lenilo likayuwanikana kwa kila mundu wa Yelusalemu, hati kwa luga yavi vakaukemela mgunda wula Hakeli Dama, mana yaki “Mgunda wa Ngasi.”
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
Hinu yiyandikiwi muchitabu cha Zabuli, nyumba yaki yisigalila mang'ova, mundu yoyoha akotoka kutama mwenumo. Kangi yiyandikiwi. Mundu yungi atola pandu pa lihengu laki.
21 “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Ndi mundu mmonga pagati yinu, mwealandini na tete lukumbi lwoha Bambu Yesu peavi mulugendu pamonga na tete ahaguliwa kuwungana na tete,
22 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
mwenuyo yiganikiwa kuvya mmonga wa vala vevalandini na tete, kutumbula Yohani peavili mukubatiza mbaka ligono lila Yesu peatoliwi kuhuma kwitu kuhamba kunani kwa Chapanga. Mwenuyo ndi iwungana na tete kujova ndava ya kuyuka kwa Yesu.
23 They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
Hinu, vakaluwula mahina gavili, wa mmonga Yosefu mweikemiwa Basaba mewa Yusto, na yungi Matia.
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
Kangi vakamuyupa Chapanga, “Bambu, veve ukiyimanya mitima ya vandu voha. Hinu utilangisa yani mwemhagwili pagati ya vavili ava,
25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
muni atola pandu pa lihengu la chitumi lealekili Yuda, mwene awukili kuhamba pandu paki mwene.”
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
Vakamhagula na Matia ndi akahaguliwa mwene ayonjokeswa pagati ya vamitumi kumi na mmonga vala.
