Acts 1
1 The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
A mueni Tewofile, mu buku ama yitheti ndiyolukila tona vana thonono mambu moso momo matona vanga Yesu ayi makalonga
2 until the day in which, having given command through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He chose out, He was taken up,
nate mu lumbu kioki katombolo ku Diyilu bu kamana vana zithumunu, mu lulendo lu Pheve Yinlongo, kuidi bamvuala ba kasobula.
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.
Bu kamana mona ziphasi, wukimonikisa wu moyo kuidi bawu mu kuba monisa bidimbu biwombo. Wukimonisa kuidi bawu mu makumaya ma bilumbu ayi wuba kuba yolukilanga mambu ma Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
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;
Bu kadia yawu va kimosi, wuba vana lutumunu ti: —Lubika totuka mu Yelusalemi vayi bavingila tsila yi Tata yoyi luwa kuidi minu.
5 because John, indeed, immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit not many days after these.”
Bila Yowani mu nlangu kabotikila, muaki fioti kuandi fisiedi buna lueka botama mu Pheve Yinlongo.
6 They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning Him, saying, “Lord, do You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Bu bakutakana va kimosi, bamvuala banyuvula: —A Pfumu, buna yayi thangu weka mvutudila kipfumu ki Iseli e?
7 And He said to them, “It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father appointed in His own authority;
Wuba vutudila: —Disi diambu dieno ko mu zaba zithangu ayi zitsungi zikubika Tata mu lulendo luandi.
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.”
Vayi Pheve Yinlongo bu kela kuiza va beno; buna luela tambula lulendo ayi luela ba bambangi bama tona mu Yelusalemi, mu Yuda dioso, mu Samali ayi nate muna mu sukisina ntoto.
9 And having said these things—they beholding—He was taken up, and a cloud received Him up from their sight;
Buna kamana tuba mambu momo, bammona wutombolo ku diyiluayi dituti dimosi dimfuka va meso mawu.
10 and as they were looking steadfastly to the sky in His going on, then, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Bu basungimina tala ku diyilu, mu phila kaba nkuendila, talababakala buadi bavuata minledi miphembi batelama va ndambuꞌawu;
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.”
babakamba: —A beno basi Ngalili, a bila mbi lutelimini vava bu lulembo talanga ku diyilu e? Yesu diodi dimeni tombolo ku diyilu va khatitsikꞌeno, wela buela vutuka boso lummuenini kendidi ku Diyilu.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from [that] called the Mount of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath’s journey;
Buna bamvuala bavutuka ku Yelusalemi bu babotuka va mongo wu minti mi olive, mongo wowo wuba nduka-nduka mu tezo ki nana di zikhama di zimetele mu tula ku Yelusalemi.
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;
Muna batula ku divula, bakuma ku yilu banga; kuawu baba nkutikininanga. Kuna kuba: Piela, Yowani, Zaki, Andele, Filipi, Toma, Balitelemi, Matayi, Zaki muana Alife, Simoni muisi dikabu di Zeloti ayi Yuda muana Zaki.
14 these were all continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Babo mu kithuadi kimosi baba nkutakananga bilumbu bioso mu diambu di sambila va kimosi ayi baketo ayi Maliya ngudi yi Yesu, ayi bakhomba zi Yesu.
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),
Mu bilumbu beni, Piela wutelama va khatitsika bakhomba. Thalu yi batu bakutakana baba nduka-nduka khama yimosi ayi makumuadi.
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,
Wuba kamba: —A bakhomba, bufueni masonoko matuba Pheve Yinlongo mu munu Davidi madedakana bu kayolukila Yuda, mutu wowo wutuadisa batu bobo bakanga Yesu.
17 because he was numbered among us, and received the share in this ministry.
Niandi wuba wumosi mu beto, niandi mamvandi wutambula kiandi kuku mu kisalu kiaki tutambula.
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,
Mu zimbongo ziozi bamfuta, mu diambu di mambimbi mandi, ziawu kasumbila tsola. Niandi wubua ntu wutuama ku tsi, wutumbu buka vumu, midi mioso mimana totuka va nganda.
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.)
Basi Yelusalemi boso bawa tsangu beni; diawu babiekila tsola beni mu mbembo awu “Akelidama” bu dinsundula: “Tsola yi menga”.
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.
Muaki masonama mu Minkunga ti: Tala! Bika nzoꞌandi yiba dio yambi, mu bika mutu kabika mu kala; bosi mutu wunkaka kabonga kisalu kiandi.
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,
Diawu bufueni tusobula mutu wumosi mu batu bobo babedi kutulandakananga mu thangu Pfumu Yesu kabedi zinganga yeto va kimosi,
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.”
tona thangu Yowani kabotika nate mu lumbu kioki katombolo va khatitsikꞌeno, wumosi mu bawu fueti kala mbangi banga beto mu diambu di mfulukulu yi Yesu.
23 And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,
Basobula batu buadi: Zozefi baba ntedilanga “Balisabasi”. Dizina diandi dinkaka “Yusitusi”; ayi Matiasi.
24 and having prayed, they said, “You, LORD, who are knowing the heart of all, show which one You chose of these two,
Bu baba nsambila, buna batuba: —A Pfumu, ngeyo zebi mintima mi batu boso, wutumonisa nani wusobula mu batu buadi baba
25 to receive the share of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, fell, to go on to his proper place”;
muingi katambula kuku ki kisalu kiandi ayikimvuala kiandi, kisalu kioki kibika Yuda wuyenda ku buangu kiandi.
26 and they gave their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Bosi bata wadi. Wadi yibuila Matiasi ayi niandi wubuelama mu dikabu di kumi mvuala wumosi.
