Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
Imbuka inibañoli kale, Tiofiliusi, ibawambi zonse zabatangi kutenda ni kuluta Jesu,
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
kutwala izuba lyabatambulwa kwiwulu. Ichi chibatendahali hamana kuha itaelo cha Luhuho Lujolola kuba Apositola babaketi.
3 to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to 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 while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye heard from me;
Habali kulikopanya nabo, ababalaeli kuti kanji bazwi mwa Jerusalema, kono balindile insepiso ye Shetu, cheyo, nati, “Mubazuwi kwangu
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
kuti initi Johani abali kukolobeza ni menzi, kono inwe kamukolobezwe muLuhuho luJolola mumazubazana akezite.”
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Munako ibabakungene hamwina babamubuzi, “Simwine, iyi nji nako yeti nolete mubuso kwa Isilaele?”
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Abawambi kubali, “kahena njikwenu kuti mwizibe inako kapa inkalulo yabatomi Tayo chamaata akwe.
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in 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 thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Simwine Jesu hamana kuwamba izi zintu, nibalolete kwilu, abatwalwa kwilu, mi ikope ni lyamuwunguli hamenso abo.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Habachitutubalile kwiwulu nakaya, hahobulyo, bakwame bobele babazimene hembali ni bazwete zituba.
11 who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into 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 the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Kuzwaho nibabola kwa Jerusalema kuzwa kwi Lundu la Olivi, lina hafwihi ni Jerusalema, musipili umana izuba Lesabata.
13 And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother 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 all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Bonse babakopene kuba chintu chimwina, kuzwila habusu kulapela katata. Babena nabo ibali banakazi, Maria nyina Jesu, ni bache bakwe.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
Mwawo mazuba Pitolosi abazimi mukati kabanakwabo, balikana bantu basika ha 120, mi nati,
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before 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 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
Mukuti ibali zumwi wetu mi abatambuli inkabelo yakwe yempo yelinu iluko.”
18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
(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 the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, 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 is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
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 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Chobulyo, kusakahala kuti umwina wa bakwame yabali kuyendanga naswe inako yonse Simwine Jesu habali kuyendanga mukati ketu,
22 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
kukatangila hakolobezwa kwa Johani kuya kwizuba lyabazwiswa kwetu, utameha kuba impaki hamwina naswe kuamana nikubuka kwakwe kubafu.”
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Babaleti habusu bakwame bobele, Josefa yosumpwa Barsabasi, yabali kusumpwa hape kuti nji Justusi, ni Matias.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Babalapeli nibati, “Iwe, Simwine, wizi inkulo zabantu bonse, chobulyo wizibahaze kuti njeni mukati kaba bobele yobaketi.
25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.
kuhinda chibaka mweli ikolo ni buapositola waba choli Judasi kuya kuchibaka chakwe,”
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Babalauli; mi idaula zibawili ha Mateu mi ababikwa hepalo yamuapostola wekumi ni wumwina.
