Acts 1
1 My first account, O Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus began doing and teaching from the beginning down to the day when,
Mlongo Teofili, muchitabu cha kutumbula nayandiki kugavala mambu goha, Yesu geagahengili na kugawula kwakona kutumbula lihengu laki,
2 after giving instructions through the Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up to heaven.
mbaka ligono lila Yesu peatoliwi kunani kwa Chapanga. Avalagizi munjila ya Mpungu Msopi vamitumi vala veavahagwili.
3 After his sufferings he had also shown himself alive to them in many convincing manifestations, revealing himself to them during forty days, and speaking of 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 once when he was eating with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father. "Of this," he said, "you have heard from me.
Lukumbi lwe akonganiki nawu pamonga avalagazili. “Mkotoka kuwuka pa Yelusalemu, ndi mlindila njombi yeavalagazili Dadi, yemmali kuniyuwana nilongela ndava yaki.
5 "For John indeed baptized in water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence."
Yohani abatizi kwa manji, nambu magono gadebe gegigelekela, nyenye yati mbatiziwa kwa Mpungu Msopi.”
6 So, when they came together, they began to ask him, "Master, are you at this time about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
Vanalihengu pavakonganiki pamonga na Yesu, vakamkota, “Wu Bambu, lukumbi ulu ndi pawiwuyisa unkosi wula kwa Isilaeli?”
7 He answered. "It is not for you to know times and occasions which the Father has fixed in his own authority;
Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Lusenje na lukumbi lwa mambu ago uvili pahi ya uhotola wa Dadi wangu, lihengu linu lepi kumanya yati givya ndali.
8 "yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you are to be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the very ends 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 When he had said this, and while they were looking at him, he was lifted up, and a cloud received him up out of their sight.
Peamali kujova genago, kuni voha vakumlolokesa, akatoliwa kunani kwa Chapanga, lihundi likamfiya vakotoka kumlola kavili.
10 While they were gazing into the sky as he was going up, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,
Pevayendalili kulolokesa kunani, kuni mwene ihamba, bahapo vandu vavili vevawalili nyula za msopi vayimili papipi na vene,
11 and they said. "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into the sky will come back in just the same way as you have seen him going into the sky."
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 they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, about a Sabbath Day’s journey distant.
Kangi vamitumi vakawuya Yelusalemu kuhuma kuchitumbi chila chechikemelewa Mizeituni chechavili utali wa kilomita yimonga kuhuma kumujini.
13 On entering the city they went to the upper room where they were accustomed to meet. They were Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son 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 with one mind gave their constant attention to prayer, together with some women, and with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Voha ava vakakonganeka kumuyupa Chapanga, pamonga na vadala na Maliya nyina waki Yesu na valongo vaki.
15 It was during these days that Peter stood up among the brothers - the whole number of persons present was about one hundred and twenty - and said.
Magono ago, Petili ayimili pagati ya valongo vamsadika vala vevakonganiki, voha vavi vandu miya yimonga na ishilini,
16 "Men and brothers, it was necessary for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit uttered beforehand by the lips of David in regard to Judas who acted as guide to those who arrested 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 among us, and he did get his allotted share of this ministry.
Yuda avi mmonga wa chikundi chitu muni ahaguliwi kuhenga lihengu la chitumi pamonga na tete.”
18 "Now this man bought a plot of ground with the price of his treachery, and falling there headlong he burst asunder 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 "This fact became known to the people of Jerusalem so that the place was called in their language, Acheldamach, 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 dwelling-place be desolate; Let no man dwell there, also, Let another take his work.
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 "It is necessary then that, of the men who have been associated with us during the whole time in which 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 from his baptism by John down to the day on which he was taken up from us, one should join us a witness to 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 So they placed two in nomination, Joseph called Bar-Sabbas (surnamed Justas) and Matthias;
Hinu, vakaluwula mahina gavili, wa mmonga Yosefu mweikemiwa Basaba mewa Yusto, na yungi Matia.
24 and they prayed, saying. "Thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show clearly which of these two men thou hast chosen to fill the place
Kangi vakamuyupa Chapanga, “Bambu, veve ukiyimanya mitima ya vandu voha. Hinu utilangisa yani mwemhagwili pagati ya vavili ava,
25 "in this ministry of this apostles from which Judas went out to go to his own place."
muni atola pandu pa lihengu la chitumi lealekili Yuda, mwene awukili kuhamba pandu paki mwene.”
26 Then they cast lots for them, 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.
