< Acts 1 >

1 I have made the former treatise, O Theophilus, of al that Jesus began to doe and teach,
Apwanga a Teopili, nshitabhu shangu sha ntai najandishe indu yowe ibhatendile a Yeshu na jiganya kuumila kundandubho ja liengo lyabho,
2 Vntill the day that hee was taken vp, after that hee through the holy Ghost, had giuen commandements vnto the Apostles, whome hee had chosen:
mpaka lyene lyubha libhatolilwe kwenda kunani kunnungu lila. Bhakanabhe tolwa kwenda kunnungu bhashinkwaalajiyanga mitume bhubhaagwilenje bhala kwa mashili gaka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
3 To whome also he presented himselfe aliue after that he had suffered, by many infallible tokens, being seene of them by the space of fourtie daies, and speaking of those thinges which appertaine to the kingdome of God.
Kwa mobha makumi nsheshe bhakaweje, bhashinkwilangula papagwinji kubhaajiganywa bhabho. Bhatendaga kwaabhonanga a Yeshu na bhalabho bhatendaga kungulushila ga Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu.
4 And when he had gathered them together, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but to waite for the promise of the Father, which sayde hee, yee haue heard of me.
A Yeshu bhakaimaneje na bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaamulishenje nnei, “Nnajabhulangane pa Yelushalemu, ikabhe nnindililanje miadi ja Atati, gunammalanjilenje gala.
5 For Iohn in deede baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost within these fewe daies.
A Yowana pubhabhatishe kwa mashi, ikabheje mmanganya shimmatishwanje kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo mobha gashoko gakwiyago.”
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdome to Israel?
Bhai, mitume bhakaimananjeje pamo na a Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhuli Mmakulungwa, nnaino punkupinga kwaabhujishiyanga upalume bha Ishilaeli?”
7 And hee saide vnto them, It is not for you to know the times, or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his owne power,
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mobha na miongwe ja genego mugali mmakono ga Atati, na wala nngabha liengo lyenunji kumumanya kuti shiibhe shakani.
8 But yee shall receiue power of the holy Ghost, when he shall come on you: and ye shalbe witnesses vnto me both in Hierusalem and in all Iudea, and in Samaria, and vnto the vttermost part of the earth.
Ikabheje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo pashantulushilanjepo shimpatanje mashili na shimmanganje mmakong'ondela bhangu nshilambo sha Yelushalemu na ku Yudea na ku Shamalia, mpaka kumpelo gwa shilambolyo.”
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they behelde, he was taken vp: for a cloude tooke him vp out of their sight.
Bhakabheleketeje genego, a Yeshu gubhatolilwe kwenda kunnungu akuno bhalikwaalolesheyanga, liunde likwaunishilaga bhangaabhonanga kabhili.
10 And while they looked stedfastly towarde heauen, as hee went, beholde, two men stoode by them in white apparell,
Bhalinginji nkulolesheya kunani, bhalabho bhalikwijendela, shangupe bhandunji bhabhili bhawetenje nngubho yanawe gubhajiminngene patome jabhonji,
11 Which also sayde, Yee men of Galile, why stande yee gasing into heauen? This Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, as yee haue seene him goe into heauen.
gubhashitenje, “Mmnganya mmandunji mma ku Galilaya, pakuti nshijimangana akuno nnilolanga kunani? A Yeshu bhatolilwe kungwenunji kwenda kunnungu, shibhajiye kabhili nneyo peyo malinga shimwabhweninji bhalikwenda kunnungu.”
12 Then returned they vnto Hierusalem from the mount that is called the mount of Oliues, which is neere to Hierusalem, being from it a Sabbath daies iourney.
Kungai bhantenga gubhabhujilenje ku Yelushalemu kukopoka kushitumbi shishemwa Shitumbi sha Misheituni, kutalika kwakwe mbuti mwanja gwa kilomita jimo.
13 And when they were come in, they went vp into an vpper chamber, where abode both Peter and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartlemew, and Matthewe, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas Iames brother.
Bhakaikanganeje kunnjini gubhakwelilenje ku golopa kukati jibhaimanangaga, pubhalinginji a Petili na a Yowana na a Yakobho na a Ndeleya na a Pilipi na a Tomashi na a Bhatolomeyo na a Matei na a Yakobho bhanabhabho a Alupayo na a Shimoni Shelote na a Yuda bhanabhabho a Yakobho.
14 These all continued with one accorde in prayer and supplication with the women, and Marie the mother of Iesus, and with his brethren.
Bhowe bhatendaga imananga kwa ntima gumo mobha gowe nkujuga Nnungu, bhashinkupagwanga bhanabhakongwe na a Malia anyinabhabho a Yeshu na ashaapwabho.
15 And in those dayes Peter stoode vp in the middes of the disciples, and sayde (nowe the nomber of names that were in one place were about an hundreth and twentie.)
Lyubha limo a Petili bhashinkujima pa lugwinjili lwa bhaakulupalilanga bha a Yeshu, pubhalinginji bhandunji ishila makumi kumi na gabhili,
16 Yee men and brethren, this scripture must needes haue beene fulfilled, which the holy Ghost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was guide to them that tooke Iesus.
gubhashite, “Ashaapwanga, ishinkupinjikwa gene Majandiko ga Ukonjelo gamalile, gabhelekete Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, kwa kang'wa ja a Daudi, ashinkulondola ga a Yuda bhaalongolelenje bhandu kukwaakamula a Yeshu.
17 For hee was nombred with vs, and had obteined fellowship in this ministration.
Pabha a Yuda bhashinkuagulwa kubha bhantenga pamo na uwe, kwa nneyo pubhaliji munkumbi gwetu.”
18 He therefore hath purchased a field with the reward of iniquitie: and when he had throwen downe himselfe headlong, hee brast asunder in the middes, and all his bowels gushed out.
Nng'itu gwaumilwe kwa mmbiya yapatikene kwa shitendi shabho shangali sha mmbone, gubhagwile pai, nitumbuka lipitiu na matumbo nikushuka pala.
19 And it is knowen vnto all the inhabitants of Hierusalem, in so much, that that field is called in their owne language, Aceldama, That is, the field of blood.
Bhandu bhowe pa Yelushalemu gubhapilikenenje ga nshibha gwa a Yuda, kwa nneyo gwene nng'itu gula kwa luga jabhonji pubhashemilenje Akelidama, malombolelo gakwe, “Nng'itu gwa Minyai.”
20 For it is written in the booke of Psalmes, Let his habitation be void, and let no man dwel therein: also, Let another take his charge.
“Pabha, ishijandikwa nshitabhu sha Shabhuli, ‘Jaliji ndamo jabho jiyushe liame, mundu jojowe anatame penepo.’ Na kabhili ishijandikwa. ‘Mundu juna atole shitengu shabho sha liengo.’
21 Wherefore of these men which haue companied with vs, all the time that the Lord Iesus was conuersant among vs,
Bhai, mundu jumo munkumbi gwa bhalonganangaga na uwe mobha gowe gutwaowaga na a Yeshu tunng'agule ailunde nnikundi lyetu.
22 Beginning from the baptisme of Iohn vnto the day that hee was taken vp from vs, must one of them bee made a witnesse with vs of his resurrection.
Puipinjikwa jwenejo abhe alonganaga na uwe kutandubhila mobha gubhabhatishaga a Yowana, mpaka lyubha libhatolilwe a Yeshu kwenda kunnungu. Jwenejo shakamule liengo na uwe lyapita kong'ondela kuyuka kwa a Yeshu.”
23 And they presented two, Ioseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Iustus, and Matthias.
Penepo, gubhalugulenje mena ga bhandu bhabhili, jwantai kulugulwa Yoshepu ashemwaga Bhalishabha eu Yushitushi, na jwabhili Matiashi.
24 And they praied, saying, Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen,
Kungai gubhajujilenje Nnungu bhalinkutinji, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe nnjimanyi mitima ja bhandu bhowe. Kwa nneyo ntulanguye katika bhene bhabhilibha jwei jumunng'agwile,
25 That he may take the roume of this ministration and Apostleship, from which Iudas hath gone astray, to goe to his owne place.
akamule liengo libhalepele a Yuda nikwenda kubhapinjile bhayene.”
26 Then they gaue foorth their lottes: and the lotte fell on Matthias, and hee was by a common consent counted with the eleuen Apostles.
Gubhatendilenje shikoma, gushaagwilile a Matiashi, gubhabhishilwe munkumbi gwa mitume likumi limo na jumo bhala.
