Acts 1
1 I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Imbuka inibañoli kale, Tiofiliusi, ibawambi zonse zabatangi kutenda ni kuluta Jesu,
2 until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
kutwala izuba lyabatambulwa kwiwulu. Ichi chibatendahali hamana kuha itaelo cha Luhuho Lujolola kuba Apositola babaketi.
3 to whom also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern 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 with [them], commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which [said he] ye have heard of me.
Habali kulikopanya nabo, ababalaeli kuti kanji bazwi mwa Jerusalema, kono balindile insepiso ye Shetu, cheyo, nati, “Mubazuwi kwangu
5 For John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.
kuti initi Johani abali kukolobeza ni menzi, kono inwe kamukolobezwe muLuhuho luJolola mumazubazana akezite.”
6 They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?
Munako ibabakungene hamwina babamubuzi, “Simwine, iyi nji nako yeti nolete mubuso kwa Isilaele?”
7 And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;
Abawambi kubali, “kahena njikwenu kuti mwizibe inako kapa inkalulo yabatomi Tayo chamaata akwe.
8 but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end 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 he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Simwine Jesu hamana kuwamba izi zintu, nibalolete kwilu, abatwalwa kwilu, mi ikope ni lyamuwunguli hamenso abo.
10 And as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,
Habachitutubalile kwiwulu nakaya, hahobulyo, bakwame bobele babazimene hembali ni bazwete zituba.
11 who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have beheld him going into heaven.
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 mount called [the mount] of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off.
Kuzwaho nibabola kwa Jerusalema kuzwa kwi Lundu la Olivi, lina hafwihi ni Jerusalema, musipili umana izuba Lesabata.
13 And when they were come into [the city], they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude [the brother] 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 These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
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, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names [who were] together [was] about a hundred and twenty, )
Mwawo mazuba Pitolosi abazimi mukati kabanakwabo, balikana bantu basika ha 120, mi nati,
16 Brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus;
Bakwetu, kuyelele kuti chiñoletwe chizuzilizwe, kutalusa kuti Luhuho Lujolola lubawambi itanzi chakaholo ka Davida kuamana ni Judasi, yabaetelele babakasumini Jesu.
17 for he was numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this service.
Mukuti ibali zumwi wetu mi abatambuli inkabelo yakwe yempo yelinu iluko.”
18 (This [man] then indeed got a field with [the] reward of iniquity, and, having fallen down headlong, burst in the midst, 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 was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, 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 homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership.
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, that of the men who have assembled with us all [the] time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
Chobulyo, kusakahala kuti umwina wa bakwame yabali kuyendanga naswe inako yonse Simwine Jesu habali kuyendanga mukati ketu,
22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which he was taken up from us, one of these should be 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 appointed two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who had been surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Babaleti habusu bakwame bobele, Josefa yosumpwa Barsabasi, yabali kusumpwa hape kuti nji Justusi, ni Matias.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, knower of the hearts of all, shew which one of these two thou hast chosen,
Babalapeli nibati, “Iwe, Simwine, wizi inkulo zabantu bonse, chobulyo wizibahaze kuti njeni mukati kaba bobele yobaketi.
25 to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place.
kuhinda chibaka mweli ikolo ni buapositola waba choli Judasi kuya kuchibaka chakwe,”
26 And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Babalauli; mi idaula zibawili ha Mateu mi ababikwa hepalo yamuapostola wekumi ni wumwina.
