Acts 1
1 The first account which I drew up, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught from the very first,
Mlongo Teofili, muchitabu cha kutumbula nayandiki kugavala mambu goha, Yesu geagahengili na kugawula kwakona kutumbula lihengu laki,
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.
mbaka ligono lila Yesu peatoliwi kunani kwa Chapanga. Avalagizi munjila ya Mpungu Msopi vamitumi vala veavahagwili.
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.
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 had gathered them together, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the fulfilment of the Father’s promise — “that promise,” he said, “of which you have heard me speak;
Lukumbi lwe akonganiki nawu pamonga avalagazili. “Mkotoka kuwuka pa Yelusalemu, ndi mlindila njombi yeavalagazili Dadi, yemmali kuniyuwana nilongela ndava yaki.
5 for, while John baptized with water, you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit before many days have passed.”
Yohani abatizi kwa manji, nambu magono gadebe gegigelekela, nyenye yati mbatiziwa kwa Mpungu Msopi.”
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?”
Vanalihengu pavakonganiki pamonga na Yesu, vakamkota, “Wu Bambu, lukumbi ulu ndi pawiwuyisa unkosi wula kwa Isilaeli?”
7 His answer was: “It is not for you to know times or hours, for the Father has reserved these for his own decision;
Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Lusenje na lukumbi lwa mambu ago uvili pahi ya uhotola wa Dadi wangu, lihengu linu lepi kumanya yati givya ndali.
8 but you shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit shall have descended upon you, and shall be witnesses for me not only in Jerusalem, but throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the 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 No sooner had Jesus said this than he was caught up before their eyes, and a cloud received him from their sight.
Peamali kujova genago, kuni voha vakumlolokesa, akatoliwa kunani kwa Chapanga, lihundi likamfiya vakotoka kumlola kavili.
10 While they were still gazing up into the heavens, as he went, suddenly two men, clothed in white, stood beside them,
Pevayendalili kulolokesa kunani, kuni mwene ihamba, bahapo vandu vavili vevawalili nyula za msopi vayimili papipi na vene,
11 and said: “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up into the heavens? This very Jesus, who has been taken from you into the heavens, will come in the very way in which you have seen him go into the heavens.”
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 the Apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called Olivet, which is about three quarters of a mile from the city.
Kangi vamitumi vakawuya Yelusalemu kuhuma kuchitumbi chila chechikemelewa Mizeituni chechavili utali wa kilomita yimonga kuhuma kumujini.
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.
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 They all united in devoting themselves to Prayer, and so did some women, and 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 About this time, at a meeting of the Brethren, when there were about a hundred and twenty present, Peter rose to speak.
Magono ago, Petili ayimili pagati ya valongo vamsadika vala vevakonganiki, voha vavi vandu miya yimonga na ishilini,
16 “Brothers,” 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 that 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 one of our number and had his part allotted him in this work of ours.”
Yuda avi mmonga wa chikundi chitu muni ahaguliwi kuhenga lihengu la chitumi pamonga na tete.”
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.
Mwene agulili mgunda kwa mashonga geagapatili ndava ya kumng'anamukila Yesu, akagwa pahi na kupapuka, maleme gaki gakahuma kuvala.
19 This became known to every one living in Jerusalem, so that the field came to be called, in their language, ‘Akeldama,’ which means 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 in the Book of Psalms,” Peter continued, “it is said — ‘Let his dwelling become desolate, And let no one live in it’; and also — ‘His office let another take.’
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 Therefore, from among the men who have been with us all the time that Jesus, our Master, 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 that day on which he was taken from us — some one must be found to join us as a witness of 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 put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias;
Hinu, vakaluwula mahina gavili, wa mmonga Yosefu mweikemiwa Basaba mewa Yusto, na yungi Matia.
24 and they offered this prayer — “O Lord, who reads all hearts, show which of these two men you have chosen
Kangi vakamuyupa Chapanga, “Bambu, veve ukiyimanya mitima ya vandu voha. Hinu utilangisa yani mwemhagwili pagati ya vavili ava,
25 To take the place in this apostolic work, which Judas has abandoned, to go to his proper place.”
muni atola pandu pa lihengu la chitumi lealekili Yuda, mwene awukili kuhamba pandu paki mwene.”
26 Then they drew lots between them; and, the lot having fallen on Matthias, he was added to the number of the eleven Apostles.
Vakamhagula na Matia ndi akahaguliwa mwene ayonjokeswa pagati ya vamitumi kumi na mmonga vala.
