Acts 1
1 The first account which I drew up, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught from the very first,
Ikitabu ikyapakaliikyapakali nilyakilembile, Theofilo, nikajova soni sino alyasitenguile uYesu kuvomba na kuvulanisia,
2 down to that day on which he was taken up to heaven, after he had, by the help of the Holy Spirit, given instructions to the apostles whom he had chosen.
kudughila ikighono kino umwene alyapelilue kukianya. Uulu luliale yeluhumile ululaghilo kuhumila kw Mhepo mwimike kuvavulanesivua vano alyavasaluile.
3 With abundant proofs, he showed himself to them, still living, after his death; appearing to them from time to time during forty days, and speaking of all that related to the kingdom of God.
Ye sikilile imumuko sa Vene, umwene alyavonike kuvanave mwuumi kange na sising'ilisio nyinga sikoleleuagha. Mufighono fijigho fine alihufisiealihufisie kuvene, napikwolelela vumila isa vatwa va Nguluve
4 And once, when he had gathered them together, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the fulfillment of the Father’s promise – “that promise,” he said, “of which you have heard me speak;
Panorama akatang'anagha navope, pe akavalaghilagha kuti navangavukaghe mhu Yerusalemu, loli vaghulilaghe ulyalufingo lwa Nata, lino, alyatile, “Mulyapulike kuhuma kuliune
5 for, while John baptized with water, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit before many days have passed.”
kuti uYohanauYohana aliofuighe ulyofugho lwa malenga, loli umue mkwofughuagha nhu Mhepo mwimike mofighono fififii fidebe.”
6 So, when the apostles had met together, they asked Jesus this question – “Master, is this the time when you intend to re-establish the kingdom for Israel?”
Pano ye vakong'anile palikimo valyamposisie, “Mutwa, kwekuti ku uulu ghilikuvagomokesia avanhu va Israeli uvutwa?”
7 His answer was, “It is not for you to know times or hours, for the Father has reserved these for his own decision;
Umwene akavavula akaati, “nalunoghile kuliumue kukagula amasiki Ghana uNata afumbilue kuvatavulilua va mwene jujuo.”
8 but you will receive power, when the Holy Spirit will have descended on you, and will be witnesses for me not only in Jerusalem, but throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Loli mukupila ingufu, unsiki ghuno ilikwisa kuliumue uMhepo umwimike; umue muliva volesi vango kuoni muYerusalem name muYahudi mwoni ni Samaria na kuvusililokuvusililo vwa iisi.”
9 No sooner had Jesus said this than he was caught up before their eyes, and a cloud received him from their sight.
U Mutwa Yesu yamalile kujova isi, avenue yevilola kukyanya, umwene akanyanyulivua kukianya, ilifunde likakupikila valeke kumuagha name Mason ghavanave.
10 While they were still gazing up into the heavens, as he went, suddenly two men, clothed in white, stood beside them,
Pano vakalolagha kukyanya nhuvusyukue yeiluta, nakalingi, avanhu vavili valyiima pakati name Kati pavanave vafwalile amanda amavalafu.
11 and said, “People of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up into the heavens? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into the heavens, will come in the same way in which you have seen him go into the heavens.”
Vakati, “Umue me vanhu va mugalilaya, lwakiiki mwimile apa mulola kukyanya?” U Yesu uju Juno atoghile kukyanya iligomoka lulalula ndavule mumbwene iluta kukyanya.
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called Olivet, which is about three quarters of a mile from the city.
Pepano vakagomoka kuhuma kukidunda kya mizeituni, kind kilipipi nii Yerusalem, ulughendo ulwa kighono ikya sabati.
13 When they reached Jerusalem, they went to the upstairs room, where they were staying. There were there Peter, John, James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Ye vafikilevafikile vakaluta kugholofa kuno vakikalagha. Vope veva Ptro, Yohana, Yakobo, Andrea, Filipino, Thomas, Batholomayo, Matayo, Yakobo, Mwana wa Afayo, Simon Zelote, nhu Yuda Mwana wa Yakobo.
14 They all united in devoting themselves to prayer, and so did some women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Voni vakakolana aka huana munhu jumbo, ningufu vakaghendelela ni nyifunyo. Palikimo na vope pevaliale avakimama, Maliamu ung'ina ghwa Yesu na valumbu va mwene.
15 About this time, at a meeting of the Lord’s followers, when there were about a hundred and twenty present, Peter rose to speak.
Mufighono fila uPetro akima pakate nakate navanyalukolo avanhu kilundo kimo night fijigho fivili, akati,
16 “Friends,” he said, “it was necessary that the prediction of scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit made by the lips of David about Judas, who acted as guide to the men who arrested Jesus,
Vanyalukolo, lulyanoghile Kati amalembe ghakwilanilaghe pano pakali uMhepo mwimike akajovelagha muloomo ghwa Daudi ulwakuling'ana nhu Yuda, alyamendime kuvala vano valya n'kolile uYesu.
17 for he was one of our number and had his part allotted him in this work of ours.”
Ulwakuva umwene alyale njiitu alyiupile ikighelelo kya mwene mumboo jiitu iiji.”
18 (This man had bought a piece of land with the price of his treachery; and, falling heavily, his body had burst open, and all his bowels protruded.
(lino umunhu uju alyaghulile ikivanja kind aliipile nhuvuhosi vwa mwene apuo pe akaghwisagha akalongosiagha umutu, umbili ghukadendemuka namaleme ghakakung'ika niiki ghakava pavugholofu.
19 This became known to everyone living in Jerusalem, so that the field came to be called, in their language, ‘Akeldama,’ which means the ‘Field of Blood.’)
Voni vanovakakilagha muYerusalemu valyasipulike soni isi, pe ikivanja ikio pevakakipela kunjovele javanave “Akelidama”ughu ghwe “mughunda ghwa Dana.”)
20 “For in the book of Psalms,” Peter continued, “it is said – ‘Let his home become desolate, and let no one live in it’; and also – ‘His office let another take.’
“Mukitabu kya Zaburi lilembilue, 'ghuula umughunda ghuake ghuva wa kuhama kwejeje name jumonga nangikalaghe Pala;' name, 'Tavulile umunhu ujunge atole inafasi jamwene ijavulongosi.'
21 Therefore, from among the men who have been with us all the time that Jesus, our Master, went in and out among us –
Uluo lwakyang'ani, lino, jumbo umughosi vakavingilisaniagha pano uMutwa Yesu alyahumile napikwingila muliusue,
22 from his baptism by John down to that day on which he was taken from us – someone must be found to join us as a witness of his resurrection.”
kutengulila kulwofugho lwa Yohana kufika ikighono Kira kinda akatolwagha kukyanya, anoghile piva mwolesi ghwa lusyiuko palikimopalikimo nusue.
23 So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias;
“Vakavavika pavulongolo avaghosi vaviili, Yusufu Juno akatambulivugha Balinaba, junoghuope akatambulivagha Yusto nhu Maria.
24 and they offered this prayer – “Lord, who reads all hearts, show which of these two men you have chosen
Avene vakifunyagha vakatisagha, “Uve, Mutwa, ghwejuno ukagwile amojo gha vanhu voni, tuvikiile pavugholofu ghwe Venice muvanhu avaviili Juno usaluile.
25 to take the place in this apostolic work, which Judas has abandoned, to go to his proper place.”
Uwakuhala imbombo ija vwomolia jino akajile uYuda Juno akahokile ghwejuno ahaliile papa mwene.”
26 Then they drew lots between them; and, the lot having fallen to Matthias, he was added to the number of the eleven apostles.
Vakavatovela ikuura vavuo, ni kura jikamughwila Mathia wejuno akavalilua palikimo na vasung'wa kijigho najumo.
