Acts 1
1 The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Ikhitabu ikhya khatali nikhyandikhe, Theofilo, vunijova goni Yesu uvatengwile ukhuvomba nu khumanyisia,
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,
ipakha isikhu Yeyo umwene apokheliwe khukhyanya. Iyi yale baada ya khuhumia iamuli ukhumela khu Mepo Umbalan'che. Khuvavitume uveavan'chaguile.
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.
Baada ya mateso ga mwene, Umwene avonikhe khuvene vumwumi ni fisibitisio fingi filikhuvavula. Khu sikhu alubaini aevonisye khuvene, alikhun'chova ukhuhusu uvutwa wa Nguluve.
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;
Avile ikhwagana paninie na vene, avavulile vasite ukhukhega khu Yelusalemu, lino vapulekhile khu ahadi ya Dada, yeyo, anchovile, “Mwale pulikhe ukhuhuma khuliune
5 because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit — after not many days.'
ukhuta uYohana aonvhinche weli khumagasi, lino mukhuo n'chiwa khu Mepo Umbalanche khu sikhu in'cho n'choni.”
6 They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, 'Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?'
Vavile vakusanyikhe paninie va mbun'chinche, “Dada, ugu gusekhe lino ugu gusekhe ugwakhuvakilivula ava Israeli uvutwa?”
7 and he said unto them, 'It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority;
Umwene akhavavula, “Siyo lueli khulweli khuliumwe ukhuluma usikhi gugya uDada isegile khumamulakha ga mwene.”
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.'
Leno mupokhela amakha, usekhe Umepo Umbalan'che upukheva ikhyin'cha khuliumwe, na yumwe mwiva vasaidi vango khuoni khu Yelusalemu na khu Vuyahudi yoni na Samaliya ipakha umwisyo gwa khilunga.”
9 And these things having said — they beholding — he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;
Untwa uYesu avile agan'chovile aga, vakhava vilolana khukianya, Umwene akhapembiwa khukianya, nilivango likhafunekha vasite ukhombona khumiho gavene.
10 and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel,
Usekhe vuvilola khukianya fincho akhaluta, ghafla, avanu vavele vaemile pagati pavene vafualilee imienda imivalafa.
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.'
Van'chovile, “Mwe vanu umwe na va Galilaya, khekhe mukhuma apa vumwilola khukyanya?” Uyu uYesu uviatogile khukyanya ikilivokha vulevule nduvumukha mbwene vuilota khukyanya.
12 Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath's journey;
Puvakiliwikhe ukhuhuma khu kyamba ikha mizeituni, khikhwo khiupipi ni Yelusalemu, ulugendo ulwa sikhu Saba.
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;
Wavile vafikhe vakhaluta ghorofani ukhuvavile vitama. Avo nu Petulo, uYohana, uYakobo, uAndelea, uFilipo, uTomasi, uBatulumayo, uMatayo, uYakobo Umwana va Alufayo, uSimoni Zelote nu Yuda Umwana va 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.
Voni valungine ndumunu yumo, khumakha valikhwe ndevela khulwisayo. Paninie navo avakhale puvale avadala, uMaliamu umamaye va Yesu, na vakakhaye va mwene.
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, )
Khusekhe gula uPetulo aemile pagati pa lukolo, avanu 120, an'choville,
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,
Valukolo, ikhala lasima amandikho gafimikhikhe, gago khatali Umepo Umbalan'che an'chovive khukhinywa khya Davudi ukhuhusiana Yuda, yuywa avelesinche vala avamwibite uYesu.
17 because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,
Ulukhuva umwene akhala yumo veto apokhile ilifungu liamwene iliafaida khuhuduma.”
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,
(Lino umunu uyu agulile eneo khu khela ikhyapokhile khuvuvivi wa mwene napo agyile akhalongon'cha utwe, umbili gukhaban'chukha na mafumbu ga mwene goni gakhara pavuvalafu gakhadudikha.
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,
Voni avakhatamile khu Yelusalemu vapulikhe ukhuhusu ili, lino elieneo elio vakhalilanga khu lugha yavene “Akheldama” ikho khyalo khya khisa.”)
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.
“Khukhitabu ikhya Zaburi khyandikhwa, 'Pulikhila ilieneo lya mwene live hame na lisite ukhuluhusiwa ate yumo ukhutama pala;' ni, 'Ruhusu umunu uyunge atole inafasi ya mwene iya uwongosi.'
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,
Iyo ya muhimu, khuiyo, yumo uva vagosi wavotukongonchihne nufwe usekhe Untwa uYesu avile ahumile nu khwingela palyufe,
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.'
ukhutengolela khulwon'cho ulwa Yohana ipakha isikhu yeyo atoliwe khu kyanya, lasima ave insaidi va khun'chukha paninie nufwe.
23 And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,
“Vakhavekha khuvulongolo avagosi vavele, uYusufu uvikhyilangiwe Yusito na Mathia.
24 and having prayed, they said, 'Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two
Avene vadovile vakhata, “Uveve, Vutwa, uvuugemanyile imioyo gya vanu voni, leno uvekhe wasi veni veni khuvavele ava yuywa un'chagwile
25 to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;'
ukhutola inafwasi khuhuduma nu usuhe, bakho uYuda avombile uvuvivi nukhuluta apamwene.”
26 and they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Vakhatova ikula khwaajili yavene, ni kula n'chighagwele uMathia yuywa avaliwe paninie na wala ava mitume kumi na moja.
