Acts 1
1 The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Imbuka inibañoli kale, Tiofiliusi, ibawambi zonse zabatangi kutenda ni kuluta Jesu,
2 until the day in which, having given command through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He chose out, He was taken up,
kutwala izuba lyabatambulwa kwiwulu. Ichi chibatendahali hamana kuha itaelo cha Luhuho Lujolola kuba Apositola babaketi.
3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, in many certain proofs, being seen by them through forty days, and speaking the things concerning 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 together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “Which you heard from Me;
Habali kulikopanya nabo, ababalaeli kuti kanji bazwi mwa Jerusalema, kono balindile insepiso ye Shetu, cheyo, nati, “Mubazuwi kwangu
5 because John, indeed, immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit not many days after these.”
kuti initi Johani abali kukolobeza ni menzi, kono inwe kamukolobezwe muLuhuho luJolola mumazubazana akezite.”
6 They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning Him, saying, “Lord, do You at this time restore 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 that the Father appointed in His own authority;
Abawambi kubali, “kahena njikwenu kuti mwizibe inako kapa inkalulo yabatomi Tayo chamaata akwe.
8 but you will receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit on you, and you will be witnesses for Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea 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—they beholding—He was taken up, and a cloud received Him up from their sight;
Simwine Jesu hamana kuwamba izi zintu, nibalolete kwilu, abatwalwa kwilu, mi ikope ni lyamuwunguli hamenso abo.
10 and as they were looking steadfastly to the sky in His going on, then, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Habachitutubalile kwiwulu nakaya, hahobulyo, bakwame bobele babazimene hembali ni bazwete zituba.
11 who also said, “Men, Galileans, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was received up from you into Heaven, will so come in what manner you saw Him going on to 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 [that] called the Mount of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath’s journey;
Kuzwaho nibabola kwa Jerusalema kuzwa kwi Lundu la Olivi, lina hafwihi ni Jerusalema, musipili umana izuba Lesabata.
13 and when they came in, they went up into the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, 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 were all continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Bonse babakopene kuba chintu chimwina, kuzwila habusu kulapela katata. Babena nabo ibali banakazi, Maria nyina Jesu, ni bache bakwe.
15 And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said (also the multitude of the names at the same place was, as it were, one hundred and twenty),
Mwawo mazuba Pitolosi abazimi mukati kabanakwabo, balikana bantu basika ha 120, mi nati,
16 “Men, brothers, it was necessary [for] this Writing to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand through 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 because he was numbered among us, and received the share in this ministry.
Mukuti ibali zumwi wetu mi abatambuli inkabelo yakwe yempo yelinu iluko.”
18 (This one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst apart in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,
(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 became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that this place is called, in their proper 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 has been written in [the] Scroll of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and let another take his oversight.
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, of the men who went with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went 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 immersion of John, to the day in which He was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of His resurrection.”
kukatangila hakolobezwa kwa Johani kuya kwizuba lyabazwiswa kwetu, utameha kuba impaki hamwina naswe kuamana nikubuka kwakwe kubafu.”
23 And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,
Babaleti habusu bakwame bobele, Josefa yosumpwa Barsabasi, yabali kusumpwa hape kuti nji Justusi, ni Matias.
24 and having prayed, they said, “You, LORD, who are knowing the heart of all, show which one You chose of these two,
Babalapeli nibati, “Iwe, Simwine, wizi inkulo zabantu bonse, chobulyo wizibahaze kuti njeni mukati kaba bobele yobaketi.
25 to receive the share of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, fell, to go on to his proper place”;
kuhinda chibaka mweli ikolo ni buapositola waba choli Judasi kuya kuchibaka chakwe,”
26 and they gave their lots, 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.
