Acts 1
1 The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Alakwe che Teofilo, mu chitabu chachilongolele nalembile yankati indu yanayose iŵaitesile Che Yesu ni iŵaijigenye chitandile kundanda kwa masengo gakwe,
2 till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up,
mpaka lyuŵa lila paŵajigalikwe kwinani. Nambo akanaŵe kwigalikwa kwinani ŵapele malajisyo ga ulamusi wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu achinduna ŵaŵaasagwile ŵala.
3 to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of God.
Kwa moŵa alobaini pakumala chiwa chao, Che Yesu ŵaakopochele ŵanyawo sooni ni sooni achilosyaga kuti ŵaliji ŵajumi. Ŵanyawo ŵammweni nombejo ŵaŵechete nawo yankati Umwenye wa Akunnungu.
4 And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he, ] 'Ye did hear of me;
Katema kampepe paŵalyaga nawo ŵapele chilanga chi, “Nkasatyoka ku Yelusalemu, nambo ndindilile ntuuka walanjile Atati umwambilikene njisalaga ngani syakwe.
5 because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit — after not many days.'
Pakuŵa che Yohana ŵabatisye ni meesi, nambo pangakaŵa moŵa ŵanyamwe chinchibatiswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.”
6 They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, 'Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?'
Nipele, achinduna paŵasongangene ni Che Yesu pamo ŵausisye, “Ambuje, ana katema kano ni pachimwauchisye sooni Ŵaisilaeli Umwenye?”
7 and he said unto them, 'It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority;
Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Katema ni lyuŵa lya indu yo ili paasi pa ulamusi wa Atati ŵangu, ni ngaŵa masengo genu kumanyilila chiiŵe chakachi.
8 but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.'
Nambo pachantuluchile Mbumu jwa Akunnungu chinchipochela machili ni sooni chinchiŵa ŵaumboni ŵangu musi wa Yelusalemu ni mu ilambo ya Yudea yose ni Samalia natamuno kumbesi kwa chilambo.”
9 And these things having said — they beholding — he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;
Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵajigalikwe kwinani akuno ŵanawose achinnolechesyaga, liunde lyaunichile ni ŵanyawo nganiŵaona sooni.
10 and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel,
Achinduna ŵala paŵaliji nkulolechesya kwiunde Che Yesu ali nkwaula, papopo ŵandu ŵaŵili ŵaŵawasile iwalo yeswela, ŵajimi nkuŵandikana nawo,
11 who also said, 'Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.'
ni ŵatite, “Ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa ku Galilaya, ana ligongo lyachi nkwima pelepa ndi nkulolechesya kwinani? Ŵele Che Yesu ŵajigalikwe kwinani kutyochela kukwenu chachiika sooni chisau intite pakwawona ali nkwaula kwinani.”
12 Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath's journey;
Nipele achinduna ŵala ŵaujile ku Yelusalemu kutyochela ku chikwesya cha Miseituni, chichaliji pachiŵandi ni musi wo chisau ni lwendo lwa kilomita jimo.
13 and when they came in, they went up to the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, of James;
Paŵaiche mmusi ŵajinjile mu chuumba cha penani chiŵatamaga, nombewo ŵaliji che Petulo ni che Yohana ni che Yakobo ni che Andulea ni che Filipo ni che Tomasi ni che Batolomayo ni che Matayo ni che Yakobo mwanagwao che Alufayo ni che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa Selote, ligongo ŵaliji jwakumenyanila chilambo chakwe ni che Yuda mwanagwao che Yakobo.
14 these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Ŵanawose wo pamo ni achakongwe ŵampepe pamo ni che Maliamu achikulugwe Che Yesu ni achapwakwe, ŵaliji nkusongangana pamo kupopela kwa ntima umo.
15 And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the same place was, as it were, an hundred and twenty, )
Pa moŵa go ŵajimi che Petulo pasikati ja ŵakukulupilila achinjakwe ŵaŵasongangene, waliji mpingo wa ŵandu mia moja ni ishilini.
16 'Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,
Che Petulo ŵatite, “Ŵakukulupilila achinjangu, yaŵajilwe Malembelo ga Akunnungu gamalile. Kalakala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaŵechete kwa kang'wa ji che Daudi, che Daudi ŵalondwele nkati che Yuda, juŵaalongwesye aŵala ŵandu ŵaŵankamwile Che Yesu.
17 because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,
Che Yuda ŵaliji jumo jwetu pakuŵa ŵasagulikwe ni Che Yesu tupanganye masengo pamo nawo.”
18 this one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,
Ngunda wasumichikwe kwa mbiya siŵasipatile che Yuda kwa ligongo lya kusinonyela mbiya sya chigongomalo. Ni ŵagwile mwelemo, ŵapapwiche ni matuumbo gakwe gose gakopweche.
19 and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that that place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, field of blood,
Ni ngani ja chiwa chi che Yuda jamanyiche kwa ŵanawose ŵaŵatemi ku Yelusalemu, nipele ngunda wo waŵilanjikwe mchiŵecheto chao Akelidama, malumbo gakwe, “Ngunda wa Miasi.”
20 for it hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and his oversight let another take.
Che Petulo ŵatite, “Pakuŵa ilembekwe mu chitabu cha Sabuli kuti, ‘Pakutama pakwe paŵe masame ni anapagwe mundu juchatame mwelemo.’ Sooni ilembekwe kuti, ‘Masengo gakwe ga kwimilila atole jwine.’
21 'It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
“Kwapele, ikuŵajilwa asagulikwe mundu jumo mwa ŵandu ŵaŵajesile noweji katema kose Ambuje Che Yesu paŵajendagajendaga pamo noweji,
22 beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day in which he was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of his rising again.'
kutandila katema che Yohana paŵabatisyaga mpaka lyuŵa lila paŵajigalikwe Che Yesu kwinani kutyochela kukwetu. Jwelejo aŵe jwa umboni pamo ni uweji nkati kusyuka ku Che Yesu.”
23 And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,
Pelepo ŵakolasile meena ga ŵandu ŵaŵili, che Yusufu jwakuŵilanjikwa che Balisaba pane akuŵilanjikwa che Yusto ni jwine che Matia.
24 and having prayed, they said, 'Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two
Nipele ŵapopesile achitiji, “Ambuje, alakwe ŵakujimanyilila mitima ja ŵandu wose, sambano ntulanjile jwapi mwa ŵaŵili ŵa jumunsagwile alakwe,
25 to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;'
kuti ajigale lipesa lya masengo ga unduna uŵaulesile che Yuda ni kwaula kuŵaŵajilwe.”
26 and they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Ni ŵatesile gudugudu ni gudugudu jila jangwilile che Matia, nipele che Matia ŵaŵalanjikwe pamo ni achinduna kumi na moja ŵala.
