Ntendo nia itumi 1
1 iMbugulu a kali ai nimikilisilye, Theofilo, nizeligitya ihi uYesu nai wandilye kituma nu kumanyisa,
I have made the former treatise, O Theophilus, of al that Jesus began to doe and teach,
2 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.
Vntill the day that hee was taken vp, after that hee through the holy Ghost, had giuen commandements vnto the Apostles, whome hee had chosen:
3 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.
To whome also he presented himselfe aliue after that he had suffered, by many infallible tokens, being seene of them by the space of fourtie daies, and speaking of those thinges which appertaine to the kingdome of God.
4 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
And when he had gathered them together, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but to waite for the promise of the Father, which sayde hee, yee haue heard of me.
5 kina uYohana ai wogilye nangalu ku mazi, kuiti mikoja ku Ng'wau Ng'welu mu mahiku aya ni masheenyu.”
For Iohn in deede baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost within these fewe daies.
6 Hangi nai atula atankana palung'wi ai amukoilye, “Mukulu, iti ili lili itungo nuika asukiilya ia Israeli u utemi?”
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdome to Israel?
7 uNg'wenso aka atambuila, “Shanga ibahu kitalanyu kulinga itungo ang'wi matungo naiza uTata usigiie ku ukulu nuakwe mukola.”
And hee saide vnto them, It is not for you to know the times, or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his owne power,
8 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.”
But yee shall receiue power of the holy Ghost, when he shall come on you: and ye shalbe witnesses vnto me both in Hierusalem and in all Iudea, and in Samaria, and vnto the vttermost part of the earth.
9 uMukulu uYesu nai wakondya kuligitya aya, aze atuile agozee migulya, uNg'wenso ai unyasuwe migulya, ni ilunde likamukunikila aleke kumihenga ku miho ao.
And when he had spoken these things, while they behelde, he was taken vp: for a cloude tooke him vp out of their sight.
10 Matungo nai agozee ki lunde ku ukendegeeli aze ulongoe, kupumpugiilya, antu a biili ai imekile pakati ao atugae ang'wenda elu.
And while they looked stedfastly towarde heauen, as hee went, beholde, two men stoode by them in white apparell,
11 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.
Which also sayde, Yee men of Galile, why stande yee gasing into heauen? This Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, as yee haue seene him goe into heauen.
12 Uugwa akasuka ku Yerusalemu kupuma mu lugulu nula mizeituni, naza lukoli pakupi ni Yerusalemu, lugendo nula luhiku nula kusupya.
Then returned they vnto Hierusalem from the mount that is called the mount of Oliues, which is neere to Hierusalem, being from it a Sabbath daies iourney.
13 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.
And when they were come in, they went vp into an vpper chamber, where abode both Peter and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartlemew, and Matthewe, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas Iames brother.
14 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.
These all continued with one accorde in prayer and supplication with the women, and Marie the mother of Iesus, and with his brethren.
15 Mu mahiku nanso uPetro ai wimikile pakati a anya ndugu, anga antu 120, akaligitya,
And in those dayes Peter stoode vp in the middes of the disciples, and sayde (nowe the nomber of names that were in one place were about an hundreth and twentie.)
16 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.
Yee men and brethren, this scripture must needes haue beene fulfilled, which the holy Ghost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was guide to them that tooke Iesus.
17 Ku nsoko nuanso ai watulaa ung'wi itu hangi ai usingiiye ilundo nilakwe nila usukiiligwa mu uwu u uaiilya”
For hee was nombred with vs, and had obteined fellowship in this ministration.
18 (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.
He therefore hath purchased a field with the reward of iniquitie: and when he had throwen downe himselfe headlong, hee brast asunder in the middes, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 Ihi nai ikiie ku Yerusalemu ai igulye kutula ili, uugwa i kipango nikanso kikitangwa ku ntambu ao, “Akeldama” nianso ingi “mugunda nua sakami.”)
And it is knowen vnto all the inhabitants of Hierusalem, in so much, that that field is called in their owne language, Aceldama, That is, the field of blood.
20 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,'
For it is written in the booke of Psalmes, Let his habitation be void, and let no man dwel therein: also, Let another take his charge.
21 Nilanso ingi ingulu, ku lulo, ung'wi nua itunja naza ukaminkanile nu sese matungo a Mukulu uYesu nai upumile nu kingila mukati itu,
Wherefore of these men which haue companied with vs, all the time that the Lord Iesus was conuersant among vs,
22 kandiilya mu wogogwa wang'wa Yohana ku pikiila u luhiku ulo nai upuilwe migulya, kusinja watule mu kuiili nua ukunukulwa palung'wi nu sese.
Beginning from the baptisme of Iohn vnto the day that hee was taken vp from vs, must one of them bee made a witnesse with vs of his resurrection.
23 Akaika ntongeela ao agoha abiili, Yusufu nuitangwaa Barnaba, nai iza witangwaa ga ni Yusto nu Mathia.
And they presented two, Ioseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Iustus, and Matthias.
24 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
And they praied, saying, Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 kuhola i lyoma mu uaiilya nua itumi, niiza uYuda ai witumile u ubii nu kulongola nkika niakwe.”
That he may take the roume of this ministration and Apostleship, from which Iudas hath gone astray, to goe to his owne place.
26 Akakua kula kunsoko ao, ni kula ikamugwila uMathia naiza ai uaigwe palung'wi ni awo i itumi ikumi na ung'wi.
Then they gaue foorth their lottes: and the lotte fell on Matthias, and hee was by a common consent counted with the eleuen Apostles.
