Acts 1
1 The former treatise (logos) have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Mlongo Teofili, muchitabu cha kutumbula nayandiki kugavala mambu goha, Yesu geagahengili na kugawula kwakona kutumbula lihengu laki,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit (pneuma) had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
mbaka ligono lila Yesu peatoliwi kunani kwa Chapanga. Avalagizi munjila ya Mpungu Msopi vamitumi vala veavahagwili.
3 To whom also he showed 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:
Mulukumbi lwa magono alobaini kuhuma mulifwa laki, avahumalili pamahele kulangisa kuvya avi mumi. Vamuwene mwene alongili nawu ndava ya Unkosi wa Chapanga.
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, says he, all of you have heard of me.
Lukumbi lwe akonganiki nawu pamonga avalagazili. “Mkotoka kuwuka pa Yelusalemu, ndi mlindila njombi yeavalagazili Dadi, yemmali kuniyuwana nilongela ndava yaki.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but all of you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit (pneuma) not many days behind.
Yohani abatizi kwa manji, nambu magono gadebe gegigelekela, nyenye yati mbatiziwa kwa Mpungu Msopi.”
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Vanalihengu pavakonganiki pamonga na Yesu, vakamkota, “Wu Bambu, lukumbi ulu ndi pawiwuyisa unkosi wula kwa Isilaeli?”
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.
Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Lusenje na lukumbi lwa mambu ago uvili pahi ya uhotola wa Dadi wangu, lihengu linu lepi kumanya yati givya ndali.
8 But all of you shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit (pneuma) has come upon you: and all of you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Nambu lukumbi Mpungu Msopi peakuvahelelela nyenye, ndi yati mwipokela makakala na kuvya mwemwijova ndava yangu pagati ya muji wa Yelusalemu pamulima woha wa ku Yudea na ku Samaliya, na hati pamwishu wa mulima.”
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Peamali kujova genago, kuni voha vakumlolokesa, akatoliwa kunani kwa Chapanga, lihundi likamfiya vakotoka kumlola kavili.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Pevayendalili kulolokesa kunani, kuni mwene ihamba, bahapo vandu vavili vevawalili nyula za msopi vayimili papipi na vene,
11 Which also said, All of you men of Galilee, why stand all of you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as all of you have seen him go into heaven.
vakajova, “Nyenye vandu va ku Galilaya! Ndava kyani myima kulolokesa kunani? Yesu mwenuyu mweatoliwi kuhuma kwinu, mewawa yati iwuya kavili ngati chemumuwene ihamba kunani kwa Chapanga.”
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
Kangi vamitumi vakawuya Yelusalemu kuhuma kuchitumbi chila chechikemelewa Mizeituni chechavili utali wa kilomita yimonga kuhuma kumujini.
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 Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Pavahikili pamuji vakakwela kugolofa kwevatamayi, vavi Petili na Yohani na Yakobo na Andelea na Filipi na Tomasi na Batolomei na Matei na Yakobo mwana wa Alufayo, Simoni Zeloti chikundi cha Vayawudi vevibela ulongosi wa Loma, na Yuda mwana 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.
Voha ava vakakonganeka kumuyupa Chapanga, pamonga na vadala na Maliya nyina waki Yesu na valongo vaki.
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, )
Magono ago, Petili ayimili pagati ya valongo vamsadika vala vevakonganiki, voha vavi vandu miya yimonga na ishilini,
16 Men and brethren, this scripture must essentially have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit (pneuma) by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
akajova, “Valongo vangu, yaganikiwi Mayandiku Gamsopi gatimilayi, pandu pala Mpungu Msopi, alotili mu malovi ga Daudi kumvala Yuda mweavalongwisi vala vevamkamwili Yesu.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Yuda avi mmonga wa chikundi chitu muni ahaguliwi kuhenga lihengu la chitumi pamonga na tete.”
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.
Mwene agulili mgunda kwa mashonga geagapatili ndava ya kumng'anamukila Yesu, akagwa pahi na kupapuka, maleme gaki gakahuma kuvala.
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.
Lijambu lenilo likayuwanikana kwa kila mundu wa Yelusalemu, hati kwa luga yavi vakaukemela mgunda wula Hakeli Dama, mana yaki “Mgunda wa Ngasi.”
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.
Hinu yiyandikiwi muchitabu cha Zabuli, nyumba yaki yisigalila mang'ova, mundu yoyoha akotoka kutama mwenumo. Kangi yiyandikiwi. Mundu yungi atola pandu pa lihengu laki.
21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Ndi mundu mmonga pagati yinu, mwealandini na tete lukumbi lwoha Bambu Yesu peavi mulugendu pamonga na tete ahaguliwa kuwungana na tete,
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.
mwenuyo yiganikiwa kuvya mmonga wa vala vevalandini na tete, kutumbula Yohani peavili mukubatiza mbaka ligono lila Yesu peatoliwi kuhuma kwitu kuhamba kunani kwa Chapanga. Mwenuyo ndi iwungana na tete kujova ndava ya kuyuka kwa Yesu.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Hinu, vakaluwula mahina gavili, wa mmonga Yosefu mweikemiwa Basaba mewa Yusto, na yungi Matia.
24 And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, which know the hearts of all men, show whether of these two you have chosen,
Kangi vakamuyupa Chapanga, “Bambu, veve ukiyimanya mitima ya vandu voha. Hinu utilangisa yani mwemhagwili pagati ya vavili ava,
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.
muni atola pandu pa lihengu la chitumi lealekili Yuda, mwene awukili kuhamba pandu paki mwene.”
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Vakamhagula na Matia ndi akahaguliwa mwene ayonjokeswa pagati ya vamitumi kumi na mmonga vala.
