Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
Mlongu Teufili, mushintola sha kwanja nembiti kuusu vitwatira vyoseri Yesu vyakatenditi na kufunda kwanjira kwanja.
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;
Mpaka lishaka lilii pakanyasulitwi kugenda kumpindi kwa Mlungu. Pamberi pa kunyasulwa kugenda kumpindi, kawapananiti malagaliru kupitira Rohu Mnanagala wantumintumi walii yakawasyaguliti.
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.
Pakuhowa kwakuwi, yomberi kalilanguziyiti mweni kwa womberi na kulilanguziya nakaka kuwera mweni ka mkomu. Yomberi kawalawiriti kwa shipindi sha mashaka malongu msheshi na yomberi kayoweriti nawu kuusu Ufalumi wa Mlungu.
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;
Shipindi shimu yomberi pakaweriti nawu, kawapananiti lagaliru ali, “Namlawa amu Yerusalemu, su muliheperi lagilu lya Tati, lilii lyampikaniriti neni nonga kuusu visoweru vyakuwi.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Toziya Yohani kawabatiziti kwa mashi, kumbiti pa mashaka gavuwa ndiri mwenga hamubatizwi kwa Rohu Mnanagala.”
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Su wantumintumi pawaliwoniti pamuhera na Yesu, womberi wamkosiyiti, “Mtuwa, shipindi ashi haguwuziyi ufalumi kwa Israeli?”
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Yesu kawagambira, “Vyamwenga ndiri kuvimana vipindi ama zitarehi Tati gwangu kavitula muukolamlima wakuwi.
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.
Kumbiti hamwanki likakala Rohu Mnanagala pakawayizireni mwenga, na hamuweri wapitawu waneni Muyerusalemu na Muyudeya yoseri na Samariya na ata upeleru wa pasipanu.”
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Pakatakuliti kala aga, pawaweriti wankulola yomberi kanyasulitwi kugenda kumpindi kwa Mlungu, liwundu limfifa nawamwona kayi.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Pawaweriti wankali wankulola kumpindi yomberi kwakagenditi, palaa paliya wantu wawili yawavaliti nguwu nvufu wagolokiti pakwegela nawomberi,
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.
na walonga, “Mwenga wantu wa Galilaya! Iwera hashi mgoloka panu pamlola kumpindi? Yesu ayu, yakanyasulitwi kulawa kwa mwenga kugenda kumpindi, hakizi kayi kwa njira iraa ayi ntambu yamumwoniti pakagenda kumpindi kwa Mlungu.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Shakapanu wantumintumi wawuyiti Yerusalemu kulawa kulugongu lwa Mizeyituni, kuweriti kilumita yimu kulawa mlushi.
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.
Pawasokiti mlushi, wayingiriti mshumba shawalikaliti, nawomberi waweriti Peteru na Yohani na Yakobu na Andereya na Filipu na Tomasi na Batolumayu na Matayu, Yakobu mwana gwa Alifayu na Simoni Zeloti na Yuda mwana gwa Yakobu.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Womberi woseri waliwoniti shipinga pamuhera kumluwa Mlungu, pamuhera na wadala na Mariya mawu gwa Yesu na walongu wakuwi Yesu.
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, )
Mumashaka galii Peteru kagolokiti pakati pa wantu yawamjimira Kristu, weni walanga yawu waweriti miya yimu na malongu mawili, su yomberi kalongiti.
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.
“Mwawalongu wangu, Malembu Mananagala gatimiya, geni Rohu Mnanagala katungiti kupitira Dawudi kuusu Yuda yakawalongoziyiti walii yawamkamuliti Yesu.
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
Yuda kaweriti yumu gwa shipinga shetu, toziya mweni kasyagulitwi kaweri mtenda lihengu muyetu.”
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.
Su Yuda kahemeliti lirambu kwa mpiya zilii za ukondola zyakazipatiti, pakaweriti kulirambu yomberi kaguwiti na kahowa, kapantika na utumbu wakuwi witika kunja.
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.
Kila muntu yakalikaliti Muyerusalemu kapikaniriti visoweru vya vitwatira avi, na kwa likabira lyawu lirambu ali walishema Akelidama, mana yakuwi “Lirambu lya Mwazi.”
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.”
Peteru kalongiti, “Ilembwa mushintora sha Zaburi, ‘Numba yakuwi isigali hera, muntu yoseri nakalikala amu.’ Kayi ilembwa, ‘Muntu yumonga katoli lihengu lyakuwi.’
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
“Su ifiruwa tumsyaguli muntu yumonga pakati pa walii yawaweriti pamuhera na twenga shipindi shoseri mtuwa Yesu pakingiriti na kulawa pakati penu.
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.
Kwanjira kwa shipindi sha ubatizu wa Yohani mpaka lishaka lilii Yesu pakanyasulitwi kulawa kwatwenga kugenda kumpindi. Ifiruwa yumu gwawu kaweri kapitawu gwa kuzyuka kwakuwi pamhera natwenga.”
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Su wakanda matawu ga wantu wawili, Yosefu yawamshema Barisaba viraa yomberi kamanikana kwa litawu lya Yustu, na Matiya.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Shakapanu wamluwa Mlungu, “Mtuwa, gwenga guyimana myoyu ya wantu woseri. Su gutulanguziyi pakati pa wawili awa ulii yagumsyaguliti,
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.
katoli lihengu lya utenderu wa untumintumi wa Yuda yakaulekiti su kagendi pahala pakuwi mweni.”
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Shakapanu wagalambuziya simbi na kugalambuziya simbi aku kumtulukiriti Matiya, nayomberi kayongerwa mushipinga sha wantumintumi lilongu na yumu.
