Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 1
1 Echitabho cha kara nachandikile, ninaika gona ganu Yesu ambile okukora no kwiigisha,
The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 okukinga olunaku olwo omwene okulamilwa ingulu. Gunu gwakolekene amalile okososha echilagilo okusoka ku Mwoyo Mwelu okuja Kuntumwa jinu asolele.
until the day in which, having given command through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He chose out, He was taken up,
3 Ejire amara okunyasibhwa kwaye, omwene abhonekene kubhene ali muanga ne bhibharikisho bhyanfu nibhyolesha kutyo. Ku naku makumi gana eyolesishe ku bhene, na alomele ingulu yo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.
to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, in many certain proofs, being seen by them through forty days, and speaking the things concerning the Kingdom of God.
4 Bhuli akabhugangana amwi nabho, nabhakomeresha bhatasokao Yerusalemu, nawe bhalinde iahadi ya Latabhugenyi, eyo, aikile, “Mwonguwe okusoka kwanye
And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “Which you heard from Me;
5 okubha Yohana abhatijaga chimwi kwa manji, nawe omubhatijibhwa kwo Mwoyo Omweru munaku jitali nyafu.”
because John, indeed, immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit not many days after these.”
6 Mbe bhejire bhekofyanya amwi mbamubhusha, “Lata, gunu nigwo omwanya ogwokubhasubhisha Israeli obhukama?”
They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning Him, saying, “Lord, do You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 Omwene nabhabhwira, “Itali kwemwe okumenya omwanya ogwo Lata eteleyewo kubhukama bhwaye omwene.”
And He said to them, “It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father appointed in His own authority;
8 Nawe omulamila amanaga, akatungu ako Omwoyo Omweru kaja ingulu yemwe, nemwe omubha bhabhambasi bhani wona mu Yerusalemu na Bhuyaudi yona na Samaria no bhutelo bhwe chalo.”
but you will receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit on you, and you will be witnesses for Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
9 Omukama Yesu ejile amara okwaika ganu, mbaroraga inguru, Omwene nagegibhwa inguru, elire ndimufundikila mbasingwa omurora kwa meso gebhwe.
And having said these things—they beholding—He was taken up, and a cloud received Him up from their sight;
10 Omwanya nibharora mwiguru nekeneke nagenda, mbe, abhanu bhabhili mbemeleguru agati yebhwe bhafwaye jingubho jinyeru.
and as they were looking steadfastly to the sky in His going on, then, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 Mbaika, “Emwe abhanu bha Galilaya, okubhaki mwimeleguyu anu nimulorera mwinguru?” Unu Yesu oyo agegwa inguru mwiguru kasubha kwa injila iliya iliya lwa kutyo mwamurora nagenda mwiguru.
who also said, “Men, Galileans, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was received up from you into Heaven, will so come in what manner you saw Him going on to Heaven.”
12 Nio nibhasubha Yerusalemu okusoka muchima cha mizeituni echo chili ayeyi na Yerusalemu, olugendo rwa insiku ya isabhato.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from [that] called the Mount of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath’s journey;
13 Bhejire bhakinga mbagenda mwigorofa eyo yaga bhekaye. Nabho ni Petro, Yohana, Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Batholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo Omwana wa Alfayo, Simoni Zelote na Yuda Omwana wa Yakobo.
and when they came in, they went up into 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 Zealot, and Judas, of James;
14 Bhona nibhagwatana amwi lwa munu umwi, kwo kwikomesha nibhagenderera mwisabhwa. Amwi nabho bhaliga bhaliwo abhagasi, Mariamu Nyiramwene Yesu, na bhamura bhaye.
these were all continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
15 Mu nsiku ejo Petro nemereguru agati ya bhaili, kuti bhanu 120, naika,
And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said (also the multitude of the names at the same place was, as it were, one hundred and twenty),
16 Bhaili, yaliga kwiire ati amaandiko gakumire, ao kara Omwoyo Omweru aikile kwo munwa gwa Daudi inguru ya Yuda, oyo abheresishe abho bhamugwatire Yesu.
“Men, brothers, it was necessary [for] this Writing to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,
17 Kwo kubha omwene ali umwi weswe na aramie orubhara lwaye lwa ifaida ku bhukosi bhunu.
because he was numbered among us, and received the share in this ministry.
18 (Mbe oli omunu unu agurire libhara kwicho aramie kwa mabhibhi gaye nao aguye atangasishe omutwe, omubhili ngwatika no bhura bhwaye bhwona mbubha abhweru mbwitika.
(This one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst apart in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,
19 Bhona abho bhekaye Yerusalemu bhonguwe linu, kutyo orubhara orwo mbarubhilikila kwa inyaika yebhwe “Akeldama” eryo ni nsambu ya manyinga.”)
and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that this place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 Mu chitabho cha Zaburi yandikirwe, 'Siga orubhara lwaye lubhe erugu na itekirisibhwa norwo umwi okwikara aliya;' na, 'Ikirisha omunu undi agege orubhara lwaye rwo bhutangasha.'
For it has been written in [the] Scroll of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and let another take his oversight.
21 Eyo ni ya insonga, kutyo, umwi wa bharume abho bharubhishene neswe akatungu ako Omukama Yesu asokere no kwingira amwi neswe,
It is necessary, therefore, of the men who went with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
22 okwambira ku bhubhatija bhwa Yohana okukingira ku lusiku orwo agegerwe inguru, kwiire abhe mubhambasj wo bhusuruko amwi neswe.
beginning from the immersion of John, to the day in which He was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of His resurrection.”
23 “Mbatura imbele bharume bhabhili, Yusufu oyo atogwaga Barnaba, oyo ona abhilikirwagwa Yusto na Mathia.
And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,
24 Abhene mbasabhwa mbaika ati, “Awe, Omukama, umenyere emitima ja abhanu bhona, kutyo tura abhweru ni uya ku bhaili bhanu oyo usorere
and having prayed, they said, “You, LORD, who are knowing the heart of all, show which one You chose of these two,
25 okugega olubhara mu bhukosi no bhutumwa, ao Yuda obhunyamuke no kugenda kurubhara rwaye.”
to receive the share of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, fell, to go on to his proper place”;
26 Mbabhuma jikura kwo lubhara rwebhwe, na ikura nimugwira Mathia oyo abharirwe amwi na bhaliya jintumwa ekumi na umwi.
and they gave their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
