1 O Teofilos, le nye agbalẽ gbãtɔ na wò me la, meŋlɔ nu tso nu siwo katã Yesu de asi wɔwɔ kple fiafia me
Encwadini yami yakuqala, Theyofelasi, ngalandisa ngakho konke uJesu akwenzayo lakufundisayo
2 va se ɖe ŋkeke si dzi wokɔe yi dziƒoe le esime wòde se na Apostolo siwo wòtia to Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la me vɔ megbe ŋu.
kwaze kwafika usuku enyukiswa ngalo esiya ezulwini, esenike izeluleko ngoMoya oNgcwele kubapostoli ayebakhethile.
3 Le eƒe fukpekpe, ku kple tsitretsitsi megbe la, eɖe eɖokui fia ame siawo, eye wòna kpɔɖeŋu geɖewo tsɔ ɖo kpe edzi na wo be yele agbe. Eɖe eɖokui fia wo le ŋkeke blaene sɔŋ me, eye wòƒo nu na wo tso mawufiaɖuƒe la ŋuti.
Ngemva kokuhlupheka kwakhe, waziveza kubo, wabapha iziqiniseko ezinengi njengobufakazi bokuthi wayephila. Wabonakala kubo okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane, ekhuluma ngombuso kaNkulunkulu.
4 Gbe ɖeka esi Yesu nɔ nu ɖum kple eƒe Apostolowo la, ede se na wo be, “Migadzo le Yerusalem o, ke boŋ milala va se ɖe esime miaxɔ Fofonye ƒe nunana si ŋugbe wòdo, nu si ŋu meƒo nu tsoe na mi xoxo,
Wathi esidla labo ngelinye ilanga wabalaya wathi, “Lingasuki eJerusalema, lilindele isipho esathenjiswa nguBaba, elangizwa ngikhuluma ngaso.
5 elabena Yohanes tsɔ tsi de mawutsi ta na amewo, gake le ŋkeke ʋɛ aɖewo megbe la, miawo ya la, woatsɔ Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la adee na mi.”
Ngoba uJohane wabhaphathiza ngamanzi, kodwa ngemva kwensuku ezimbalwa lizabhaphathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele.”
6 Esi Yesu kple apostoloawo gado go la, wobiae be, “Aleke, Aƒetɔ, ɖe nèle Israel dukɔ la ɖe ge tso Romatɔwo te, aɖoe te abe dukɔ nɔɖokuisi ene azɔa?”
Basebesithi gwaqa ndawonye bambuza bathi, “Nkosi, khathesi usuzabuyisela umbuso ko-Israyeli na?”
7 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Fofo la ŋutɔe ɖo ŋkeke na nu siawo tɔgbi le eƒe ŋusẽ me, eye mehiã be miawo mianya ɣeyiɣi la kple ŋkeke la o.
Wathi kubo: “Kakusikho kwenu ukwazi izikhathi loba insuku uBaba azimisileyo ngamandla akhe.
8 Gake miaxɔ ŋusẽ ne Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la va mia dzi, eye mianye nye ɖaseɖilawo le Yerusalem, Yudea kple Samaria nutomewo katã kple xexea me ƒe seƒe ke.”
Kodwa lina lizakwamukela amandla nxa uMoya oNgcwele esefikile kini, njalo lizakuba ngofakazi bami eJerusalema lakulo lonke eleJudiya laseSamariya kanye lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba.”
9 Le nya siawo gbɔgblɔ vɔ megbe teti ko la, Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ kɔe yi dziƒo, esi nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ ekpɔm, eye wòbu ɖe wo le lilikpo la me.
Esekutshilo lokhu, wenyukiswa phambi kwamehlo abo, iyezi lamfihla, abazabe besambona.
10 Wogawu mo dzi ganɔ dziƒo kpɔm esi wònɔ bubum ɖe lilia me. Kasia ame eve aɖewo siwo le awu ɣiwo me la va tsi tsitre ɖe wo xa.
Babejolozele esibhakabhakeni ngesikhathi esenyuka, masinyazana nje kwema amadoda amabili eduze kwabo egqoke okumhlophe.
11 Ame eve siawo gblɔ na wo bena, “Mi Galilea ŋutsuwo, nu ka ta miegale tsitre ɖe afi sia le yame kpɔm gãa ale? Yesu si Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ kɔ yi dziƒoe le mia gbɔ, agatrɔ agbɔ abe ale si tututu miekpɔe wokɔe yi dziƒoe ene.”
Athi kubo, “Madoda aseGalile, limeleni lapha lijolozele esibhakabhakeni na? UJesu lo osethethwe kini wasiwa ezulwini uzabuya ngayonale indlela elimbone esenyuka ngayo esiya ezulwini.”
12 Le nyadzɔdzɔ siawo megbe la, Apostoloawo ɖi tso Amito la dzi, afi si nu siawo dzɔ le la hetrɔ va Yerusalem si didi abe agbadroƒe ɖeka ko ene.
Basebebuyela eJerusalema besuka eNtabeni yama-Oliva, okungumango ongaba likhilomitha kusuka edolobheni.
13 Esi wova ɖo Yerusalem la, woyi ɖanɔ xɔ si me wonɔna le dziƒoxɔ dzi la me. Apostolo siwo nɔ afi ma la woe nye: Petro, Yohanes, Yakobo, Andrea; Filipo kple Toma; Bartolomeo kple Mateo; Yakobo si nye Alfeo ƒe vi, Simɔn si wogayɔna be Zelote, Yuda si nye Yakobo ƒe vi.
Ekufikeni kwabo bakhuphukela endlini ephezulu lapho ababehlala khona. Ababelapho babebalisa: uPhethro, uJohane, uJakhobe lo-Andreya; uFiliphu loThomasi; uBhatholomewu loMatewu; uJakhobe indodana ka-Alifewu, uSimoni umZilothi, loJudasi indodana kaJakhobe.
14 Wonɔ gbedodoɖa dzi atraɖii kple nyɔnu siwo nɔ wo ŋu kpakple Yesu dada Maria kple Yesu nɔviŋutsuwo.
Bonke laba bahlangana kokuphela bekhuleka, bendawonye labesifazane loMariya unina kaJesu kanye labafowabo bakaJesu.
15 Le ŋkeke mawo me la, Petro tsi tsitre gblɔ na xɔsetɔ (siwo ƒe xexlẽme anɔ abe alafa ɖeka kple blaeve) ene la be,
Ngalezonsuku uPhethro wasukuma phakathi kwamakholwa (ixuku elalingafika ikhulu elilamatshumi amabili)
16 “Nɔviwo, ele be ŋɔŋlɔ si Gbɔgbɔ kɔkɔe la gblɔ to David dzi le blema ku ɖe Yuda ŋu la nava eme. Yuda siae fia Yesu yomemɔ.
wathi, “Bazalwane, uMbhalo kwakumele ugcwaliseke, lokho okwakhulunywa nguMoya oNgcwele endulo ngomlomo kaDavida mayelana loJudasi owaba ngumkhokheli walabo ababopha uJesu.
17 Enye mía dometɔ ɖeka si kpɔ gome le dɔ sia me kpli mí.”
Wayengomunye wenani lethu njalo waba lengxenye emsebenzini wethu wobuvangeli.”
18 (Yuda tsɔ ga si wòxɔ ɖe Yesu dede asi ta la ɖaƒle anyigba aɖe si dzi wòwu eɖokui le. Eti kpo tsɔ eɖokui xlã ɖe anyi, hewo to, eye eƒe dɔmenuwo kaka ɖe afi ma.
(Ngomvuzo awuzuzayo ngenxa yobubi bakhe, uJudasi wathenga isiqinti; khonapho wawa ngekhanda, isidumbu sakhe sadubuka, amathumbu akhe wonke agcwala phansi.
19 Eƒe kunya sia kaka ɖe Yerusalem dua me kaba ŋutɔ ale wona ŋkɔ teƒe ma le wo degbe me be, Akeldoma si gɔmee nye Ʋunyigba.)
Bonke eJerusalema bezwa ngalokho, yikho babiza isiqinti leso ngolimi lwabo bathi yi-Akhelidama, okutsho iSiqinti seGazi.)
20 Petro gblɔ be, “Elabena woŋlɔe ɖi ɖe Psalmogbalẽ me be, “‘Eƒe nɔƒe neɖi gbɔlo, mègana be ame aɖeke neganɔ afi ma o,’ eye, “‘Ame bubu naxɔ eƒe amekplɔdɔ awɔ.’”
UPhethro wathi, “Ngoba kulotshiwe encwadini yamaHubo ukuthi: ‘Sengathi indawo yakhe ingaba ngamanxiwa; kungabi lamuntu ozahlala kuyo,’ njalo, ‘Kakube lomunye ozathatha isikhundla sakhe sobukhokheli.’
21 Petro yi eƒe nuƒoa dzi be, “Azɔ la, ele be míatia ame bubu aɖe wòanɔ Yuda teƒe le mía dome. Ame si míatia la nanye ame si nɔ mía dome tso gɔmedzedzea esi Aƒetɔ Yesu nɔ anyi kpli mí,
Ngakho kufanele ukuba sikhethe omunye wamadoda abekade elathi isikhathi sonke iNkosi uJesu isesephakathi kwethu,
22 tso ɣeyiɣi si me Yohanes de mawutsi ta nɛ va se ɖe esime Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ kɔe le mía gbɔ yi dziƒo. Wo dometɔ ɖeka nazu tsitretsitsi ƒe ɖaseɖila akpe ɖe mía ŋu.”
kusukela ekubhaphathizweni kwakhe nguJohane kuze kufike esikhathini lapho uJesu athathwa khona kithi. Ukuze omunye wabo laba abe ngufakazi kanye lathi ngokuvuka kwakhe kwabafileyo.”
23 Ale ƒuƒoƒe la tɔ asi ame eve dzi. Ame siawoe nye, Yosef si woyɔna be Barsaba (ame si wogayɔna hã be Yusto), kple Matias, be woatia wo dometɔ ɖeka.
Ngakho basebemisa amadoda amabili, uJosefa owayethiwa nguBhasabhasi (esaziwa njalo ngokuthi nguJustusi) loMathiyasi.
24 Emegbe la, wodo gbe ɖa gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, wòe nya ame sia ame ƒe dzi me, eya ta fia ame si nètia le ame eve siawo dome mí
Basebekhuleka bathi, “Nkosi, uyayazi inhliziyo yomuntu munye ngamunye. Sitshengise ukuthi nguphi phakathi kwalaba ababili omkhethileyo
25 be wòaxɔ Apostolonyenye ƒe dɔ sia ɖe Yuda teƒe, ame si gblẽ dɔ la ɖi heyi teƒe si dzee.”
ukuba athathe lesisikhundla sobupostoli, uJudasi asitshiyayo esiya lapho ayefanele khona.”
26 Le esia megbe la, woda akɔ, eye wòdze Matias dzi, ale wotiae abe apostolo ene kpe ɖe ame wuiɖekɛ mamlɛawo ŋu.
Basebesenza inkatho, yadla uMathiyasi, wasesengezwa kubapostoli abalitshumi lanye.
