Acts 1
1 In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
A mueni Tewofile, mu buku ama yitheti ndiyolukila tona vana thonono mambu moso momo matona vanga Yesu ayi makalonga
2 until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
nate mu lumbu kioki katombolo ku Diyilu bu kamana vana zithumunu, mu lulendo lu Pheve Yinlongo, kuidi bamvuala ba kasobula.
3 After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
Bu kamana mona ziphasi, wukimonikisa wu moyo kuidi bawu mu kuba monisa bidimbu biwombo. Wukimonisa kuidi bawu mu makumaya ma bilumbu ayi wuba kuba yolukilanga mambu ma Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
4 And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
Bu kadia yawu va kimosi, wuba vana lutumunu ti: —Lubika totuka mu Yelusalemi vayi bavingila tsila yi Tata yoyi luwa kuidi minu.
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Bila Yowani mu nlangu kabotikila, muaki fioti kuandi fisiedi buna lueka botama mu Pheve Yinlongo.
6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Bu bakutakana va kimosi, bamvuala banyuvula: —A Pfumu, buna yayi thangu weka mvutudila kipfumu ki Iseli e?
7 Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
Wuba vutudila: —Disi diambu dieno ko mu zaba zithangu ayi zitsungi zikubika Tata mu lulendo luandi.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Vayi Pheve Yinlongo bu kela kuiza va beno; buna luela tambula lulendo ayi luela ba bambangi bama tona mu Yelusalemi, mu Yuda dioso, mu Samali ayi nate muna mu sukisina ntoto.
9 After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
Buna kamana tuba mambu momo, bammona wutombolo ku diyiluayi dituti dimosi dimfuka va meso mawu.
10 They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
Bu basungimina tala ku diyilu, mu phila kaba nkuendila, talababakala buadi bavuata minledi miphembi batelama va ndambuꞌawu;
11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
babakamba: —A beno basi Ngalili, a bila mbi lutelimini vava bu lulembo talanga ku diyilu e? Yesu diodi dimeni tombolo ku diyilu va khatitsikꞌeno, wela buela vutuka boso lummuenini kendidi ku Diyilu.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Buna bamvuala bavutuka ku Yelusalemi bu babotuka va mongo wu minti mi olive, mongo wowo wuba nduka-nduka mu tezo ki nana di zikhama di zimetele mu tula ku Yelusalemi.
13 When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
Muna batula ku divula, bakuma ku yilu banga; kuawu baba nkutikininanga. Kuna kuba: Piela, Yowani, Zaki, Andele, Filipi, Toma, Balitelemi, Matayi, Zaki muana Alife, Simoni muisi dikabu di Zeloti ayi Yuda muana Zaki.
14 With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Babo mu kithuadi kimosi baba nkutakananga bilumbu bioso mu diambu di sambila va kimosi ayi baketo ayi Maliya ngudi yi Yesu, ayi bakhomba zi Yesu.
15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
Mu bilumbu beni, Piela wutelama va khatitsika bakhomba. Thalu yi batu bakutakana baba nduka-nduka khama yimosi ayi makumuadi.
16 “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
Wuba kamba: —A bakhomba, bufueni masonoko matuba Pheve Yinlongo mu munu Davidi madedakana bu kayolukila Yuda, mutu wowo wutuadisa batu bobo bakanga Yesu.
17 He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
Niandi wuba wumosi mu beto, niandi mamvandi wutambula kiandi kuku mu kisalu kiaki tutambula.
18 (Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
Mu zimbongo ziozi bamfuta, mu diambu di mambimbi mandi, ziawu kasumbila tsola. Niandi wubua ntu wutuama ku tsi, wutumbu buka vumu, midi mioso mimana totuka va nganda.
19 This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
Basi Yelusalemi boso bawa tsangu beni; diawu babiekila tsola beni mu mbembo awu “Akelidama” bu dinsundula: “Tsola yi menga”.
20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
Muaki masonama mu Minkunga ti: Tala! Bika nzoꞌandi yiba dio yambi, mu bika mutu kabika mu kala; bosi mutu wunkaka kabonga kisalu kiandi.
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Diawu bufueni tusobula mutu wumosi mu batu bobo babedi kutulandakananga mu thangu Pfumu Yesu kabedi zinganga yeto va kimosi,
22 beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
tona thangu Yowani kabotika nate mu lumbu kioki katombolo va khatitsikꞌeno, wumosi mu bawu fueti kala mbangi banga beto mu diambu di mfulukulu yi Yesu.
23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
Basobula batu buadi: Zozefi baba ntedilanga “Balisabasi”. Dizina diandi dinkaka “Yusitusi”; ayi Matiasi.
24 And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
Bu baba nsambila, buna batuba: —A Pfumu, ngeyo zebi mintima mi batu boso, wutumonisa nani wusobula mu batu buadi baba
25 to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
muingi katambula kuku ki kisalu kiandi ayikimvuala kiandi, kisalu kioki kibika Yuda wuyenda ku buangu kiandi.
26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
Bosi bata wadi. Wadi yibuila Matiasi ayi niandi wubuelama mu dikabu di kumi mvuala wumosi.
