Acts 1
1 Certainly, O Theophilus, I composed the first discourse about everything 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 instructing the Apostles, whom he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, even until the day on which he was taken up.
nate mu lumbu kioki katombolo ku Diyilu bu kamana vana zithumunu, mu lulendo lu Pheve Yinlongo, kuidi bamvuala ba kasobula.
3 He also presented himself alive to them, after his Passion, appearing to them throughout forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God with many elucidations.
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 dining with them, he instructed them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but that they should wait for the Promise of the Father, “about which you have heard,” he said, “from my own mouth.
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, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit, not many days from now.”
Bila Yowani mu nlangu kabotikila, muaki fioti kuandi fisiedi buna lueka botama mu Pheve Yinlongo.
6 Therefore, those who had assembled together questioned him, saying, “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom of Israel?”
Bu bakutakana va kimosi, bamvuala banyuvula: —A Pfumu, buna yayi thangu weka mvutudila kipfumu ki Iseli e?
7 But he said to them: “It is not yours to know the times or the moments, which the Father has set by his own authority.
Wuba vutudila: —Disi diambu dieno ko mu zaba zithangu ayi zitsungi zikubika Tata mu lulendo luandi.
8 But you shall receive the power of the Holy Spirit, passing over you, and you shall be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even 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 And when he had said these things, while they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
Buna kamana tuba mambu momo, bammona wutombolo ku diyiluayi dituti dimosi dimfuka va meso mawu.
10 And while they were watching him going up to heaven, behold, two men stood near them in white vestments.
Bu basungimina tala ku diyilu, mu phila kaba nkuendila, talababakala buadi bavuata minledi miphembi batelama va ndambuꞌawu;
11 And they said: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall return in just the same way that you have seen him going up to 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 mountain, which is called Olivet, which is next to Jerusalem, within a Sabbath day’s journey.
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 And when they had entered into the cenacle, they ascended to the place where Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude of James, were staying.
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 All these were persevering with one accord in prayer with the women, and with 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, rising up in the midst of the brothers, said (now the crowd of men altogether was about one hundred and twenty):
Mu bilumbu beni, Piela wutelama va khatitsika bakhomba. Thalu yi batu bakutakana baba nduka-nduka khama yimosi ayi makumuadi.
16 “Noble brothers, the Scripture must be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit predicted by the mouth of David about Judas, who was the leader of those who apprehended 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 had been numbered among us, and he was chosen by lot for this ministry.
Niandi wuba wumosi mu beto, niandi mamvandi wutambula kiandi kuku mu kisalu kiaki tutambula.
18 And this man certainly possessed an estate from the wages of iniquity, and so, having been hanged, he burst open in the middle and all his internal organs poured 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 And this became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that this field was called in their 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 has been written in the book of Psalms: ‘Let their dwelling place be desolate and may there be no one who dwells within it,’ and ‘Let another take his episcopate.’
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 that, out of these men who have been assembling with us throughout the entire time that 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 the baptism of John, until the day when he was taken up from us, one of these be made 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 And they appointed two: Joseph, who was called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Basobula batu buadi: Zozefi baba ntedilanga “Balisabasi”. Dizina diandi dinkaka “Yusitusi”; ayi Matiasi.
24 And praying, they said: “May you, O Lord, who knows the heart of everyone, reveal which one 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 a place in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas prevaricated, so that he might go to his own place.”
muingi katambula kuku ki kisalu kiandi ayikimvuala kiandi, kisalu kioki kibika Yuda wuyenda ku buangu kiandi.
26 And they cast lots concerning them, and the lot fell upon Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
Bosi bata wadi. Wadi yibuila Matiasi ayi niandi wubuelama mu dikabu di kumi mvuala wumosi.
