Acts 1
1 THE former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Eshitabu shila eshikulu nasimbile, Theofilo, nahayanjile zyonti zyahandile uYesu abhombe na manyizye,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
mpaka isiku uYesu lyahejelewe humwanya. Eli lyabhombeshe uYesu nawafumya eamri ashilile hwa Umpepo Ufinjile hwa atumwe bhakwe bhabhasaluye.
3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Baada ye mayemba agateswe, abhoneshe ali mwomi ne mbonesyo nyingi zyazyabhoneshe. Hunsiku amalongo gane ahwibhonesezye hwa bhantu bhakwe nayanje ezyeumwe zya Ngulubhi.
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
Na patangene nabho abhalajizizye aje bhasahasogole mu Yelusalemu, lelo bhagule edagano zyayanjile, “Zyamwahumvwaga neyanga afume huline
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
aje uYohana abhozya naminzi lelo ane embabhozye nu Mpepo Ufinjile nkazyashila ensiku zishe.”
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Nabhakhomene pandwimo bhahabhuzya, “Aje eshi jibha lwubhabhagomoshezye oumwene a Izraeli?”
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Umwene ahaga se shinza hulimwe amanye ezyahwibhesheye umwene Ungulubhi.”
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Lelo mubhaposhe ikhone nawinza hulimwe Umpepo Ufinjile, namwe mwaibha bhaketi bhane, mu Yelusalemu, mu Uyahudi mu Samaria, na humalishilo uwensi.”
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Nawayanga ezyo uYesu wabhuha wanyamulwa humwanya nabhamwenya, ibhengo lyakwinshila watega sebhalola na maso gabho.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Nulwabhahwenya humwanya kwa makini akienda, ghafula, abhantu bhabhili bhemelela pahati yabho bhakwite amenda amazelu.
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Bhaga, “Mwe bhantu bha hu Galilaya, yenu mwimeleye epa?” Muhwenya abhala humwanya? Unu uYesu yamuhulola abhala humwanya ahwenza shesho sha muhulola abhala.
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
Nabhanvwa isho bhaela afume hwigamba lye mizeituni, abhale hu Yerusalemu humwendo wa Sabato.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Nabhafiha bhahabhala hwigulu amatawa gabho bhabhebha. Petro, Yohana, Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Batholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo Omwana wa Alfayo, Simoni Zelote nu Yuda Umwana wa Yakobo.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Bonti ebho bhabhungene neshi umuntu umo, bhahendelela ne mputo. Bhali na abhashe, uMariamu unyina wa Yesu, nailumbu bhakwe.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
Ensiku zila uPetro ahimilie pahati pa holo bhala bhahali abhantu 120, ahaga,
16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
Mwe bhantu ehali huje enongwa zya Ngulubhi zitimile, zyayanjile Umpepo Ufinjile hwilomu lya Daudi zyazyayanjile uYuda, yabhalongole bhaala bhabhakete uYesu.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Umwene ali pamo nate aposhile ifungu lyakwe elye faida humbombo ene.”
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
(Neshi umuntu unu akalile ugunda huhela ila eye mbibhi zyakwe nepo ahagwiye abazuhu ivyanda na maula gahafuma na hwitishe.
19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
Bhonti bhabhakhalaga hu Yerusalemu bhuhumvwizye na ieneo elyo hahalyeta itawa hunjango yabho “Akeldama” ugwo “gunda gwi danda.”)
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
“Mushitabu eshe Zaburi shijile, 'Ambe ugunda gwakwe gubhe lisami asahakhale umuntu nkumo;' tikunde, 'Umuntu uwinje ayeje enafasi yakwe eyelongozi.'
21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Elyo lye muhimu aje ulume umoyajendaga pandwimo nate lula uYesu nalihulite nahinjilaga nafume,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
ahwande lila uYohana na hozyaga abhantu mpaka isiku lila uYesu nahabhushile abhale humwanya, lazima abhe keti we luzyuho pandwimo nate.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
“Bhabhala hwitagalila alume bhabhili, uYusufu yahetelwe Barnaba, itawa elya mwabho ali yu Yusto, nu Mathiya.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
Abene bhalabha bhaga, “Awe, Ngolobhe umenye amoyo gabhantu bhonti tilaaba abhantu yusaluye
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
ahweje enafasi ya Yuda yabhombile embibhi nasogole hulite.”
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Bhakhoma ekula ekula yagwila uMathiya yabhehwelwe pandwemo na bhaala atumwe ilongo nu weka.
