Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
iMbugulu a kali ai nimikilisilye, Theofilo, nizeligitya ihi uYesu nai wandilye kituma nu kumanyisa,
2 Until the day when he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
kupikiila luhiku naiza uNg'wenso ai usingiigwe migulya. Ili ai lituile ze yakila kupumya ilagiilyo kukiila Ng'wau Ng'welu mu itumi nai watula uaholanilye.
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Ze yakilaa u lwago nu lakwe, uNg'wenso ai wigeelekile kitalao aze mupanga ga nu ukaminkiilyi widu uku kuiila. Ku mahiku makumi anne ai wigeelekile kitalao, nu kitambuila kutula utemi nuang'wa Itunda.
4 And, being assembled with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard from me.
Nai watula ukutankana palung'wi nienso, ai ualagiiye aleke kuhega mu Yerusalemu, kuiti alindiile ku nsoko a wigombya nuang'wa Tata, naiza, ai uligitilye, “Ai migule kupuma kitalane
5 For John truly baptized in water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
kina uYohana ai wogilye nangalu ku mazi, kuiti mikoja ku Ng'wau Ng'welu mu mahiku aya ni masheenyu.”
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Hangi nai atula atankana palung'wi ai amukoilye, “Mukulu, iti ili lili itungo nuika asukiilya ia Israeli u utemi?”
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
uNg'wenso aka atambuila, “Shanga ibahu kitalanyu kulinga itungo ang'wi matungo naiza uTata usigiie ku ukulu nuakwe mukola.”
8 But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
Kuiti mukusingiilya ingulu, itungo uNg'wau Ng'welu nuikapembya migulya nilanyu, nu nyenye mikatula mia kuiili ane pihi mu Yerusalemu nu uYahudi wihi ni Samaria kupikiila impelo ihi.”
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
uMukulu uYesu nai wakondya kuligitya aya, aze atuile agozee migulya, uNg'wenso ai unyasuwe migulya, ni ilunde likamukunikila aleke kumihenga ku miho ao.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Matungo nai agozee ki lunde ku ukendegeeli aze ulongoe, kupumpugiilya, antu a biili ai imekile pakati ao atugae ang'wenda elu.
11 Who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this same Jesus, who is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Akaligitya, “Unyenye antu nia ku Galilaya, ku niki mi mikile apa mugozee kilunde?” Uyu uYesu nu ulumile migulya ki lunde ukusuka ku mpyani yiyo yiiyo anga naza mumihengile ulongoe ki lunde.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
Uugwa akasuka ku Yerusalemu kupuma mu lugulu nula mizeituni, naza lukoli pakupi ni Yerusalemu, lugendo nula luhiku nula kusupya.
13 And when they had come in, they went into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Nai akapika akalongola mu ghorofa naiiza ikiie. Ni enso uPetro, Yohana, Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Batholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo Ng'wana wang'wa Alfayo, Simioni Zelote nu Yuda Ng'wana wang'wa Yakobo.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Ihi ai akaminkanile anga muntu ung'wi, ku ukamatiku ai akoli alongolekile mu malompi. Palung'wi ni enso ai akoli asungu, uMariamu nyinya nuang'wa Yesu, ni a heu akwe.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of the names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
Mu mahiku nanso uPetro ai wimikile pakati a anya ndugu, anga antu 120, akaligitya,
16 Men, brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.
Anya ndugu, ai yatulaa kusinja kina u ukilisigwa utimiligwe, naza ikali uNg'wau Ng'welu ai uligitilye ki Ilangu nilang'wa Daudi kutulika nu Yuda, naiza ai uaganuie awo nai amuambile uYesu.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Ku nsoko nuanso ai watulaa ung'wi itu hangi ai usingiiye ilundo nilakwe nila usukiiligwa mu uwu u uaiilya”
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
(Itungili u muntu uyu ai uguile i kipango ku iko nai ukisingiiye ku ubi nuakwe ni pang'wanso ai ugwie aze utongeeye itwe, u muili ukatamuka ni mala akwe ihi akatula ng'walye akahunuka.
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; therefore that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
Ihi nai ikiie ku Yerusalemu ai igulye kutula ili, uugwa i kipango nikanso kikitangwa ku ntambu ao, “Akeldama” nianso ingi “mugunda nua sakami.”)
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and his office let another take.
Mu mbugulu a malumbiilyo ikilisigwe, 'Lindiila ikianza kakwe kitule ikumuulu hangi ileke kugombigwa muntu ga nung'wi kikie pang'wanso,' nu 'Lekela muntu mu ngiiza wahole ilyoma nilakwe nila utongeeli,'
21 Therefore of these men who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Nilanso ingi ingulu, ku lulo, ung'wi nua itunja naza ukaminkanile nu sese matungo a Mukulu uYesu nai upumile nu kingila mukati itu,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
kandiilya mu wogogwa wang'wa Yohana ku pikiila u luhiku ulo nai upuilwe migulya, kusinja watule mu kuiili nua ukunukulwa palung'wi nu sese.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Akaika ntongeela ao agoha abiili, Yusufu nuitangwaa Barnaba, nai iza witangwaa ga ni Yusto nu Mathia.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen,
iEnso ai alompile azeligitya, “Uewe, Mukulu, nu lingile i nkolo nia antu ihi, uu ika ng'walyi nu uli kati a awa ni abiili naiza umuholanilye
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
kuhola i lyoma mu uaiilya nua itumi, niiza uYuda ai witumile u ubii nu kulongola nkika niakwe.”
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Akakua kula kunsoko ao, ni kula ikamugwila uMathia naiza ai uaigwe palung'wi ni awo i itumi ikumi na ung'wi.
