1 Echitabho cha kara nachandikile, ninaika gona ganu Yesu ambile okukora no kwiigisha,
The first account I compiled, O Theophilus, was about all that Jesus began to do and teach

until the day he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
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.
He presented himself alive to them, after his suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over the course of forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
4 Bhuli akabhugangana amwi nabho, nabhakomeresha bhatasokao Yerusalemu, nawe bhalinde iahadi ya Latabhugenyi, eyo, aikile, “Mwonguwe okusoka kwanye
While he was with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “Which,” he said, “you heard about from me.
5 okubha Yohana abhatijaga chimwi kwa manji, nawe omubhatijibhwa kwo Mwoyo Omweru munaku jitali nyafu.”
For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Mbe bhejire bhekofyanya amwi mbamubhusha, “Lata, gunu nigwo omwanya ogwokubhasubhisha Israeli obhukama?”
So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are yoʋ going to restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?”
7 Omwene nabhabhwira, “Itali kwemwe okumenya omwanya ogwo Lata eteleyewo kubhukama bhwaye omwene.”
He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by 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 when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 Omukama Yesu ejile amara okwaika ganu, mbaroraga inguru, Omwene nagegibhwa inguru, elire ndimufundikila mbasingwa omurora kwa meso gebhwe.
After he said this, he was lifted up as they looked on, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 Omwanya nibharora mwiguru nekeneke nagenda, mbe, abhanu bhabhili mbemeleguru agati yebhwe bhafwaye jingubho jinyeru.
As he went, they were gazing up into the sky, when behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.
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.
They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way you have seen him go into 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 the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
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.
After entering the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 Bhona nibhagwatana amwi lwa munu umwi, kwo kwikomesha nibhagenderera mwisabhwa. Amwi nabho bhaliga bhaliwo abhagasi, Mariamu Nyiramwene Yesu, na bhamura bhaye.
With one accord they were all devoting themselves to prayer and supplication, along with Jesus' brothers and several women, including Mary the mother of Jesus.
15 Mu nsiku ejo Petro nemereguru agati ya bhaili, kuti bhanu 120, naika,
In those days Peter stood up among the disciples (a crowd of about one hundred twenty people who were gathered together). He said,
16 Bhaili, yaliga kwiire ati amaandiko gakumire, ao kara Omwoyo Omweru aikile kwo munwa gwa Daudi inguru ya Yuda, oyo abheresishe abho bhamugwatire Yesu.
“Brothers, it was necessary for this Scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17 Kwo kubha omwene ali umwi weswe na aramie orubhara lwaye lwa ifaida ku bhukosi bhunu.
For he was numbered with us and received his 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.
(Now this man Judas had acquired a field with the wages of unrighteousness, and falling headfirst, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 Bhona abho bhekaye Yerusalemu bhonguwe linu, kutyo orubhara orwo mbarubhilikila kwa inyaika yebhwe “Akeldama” eryo ni nsambu ya manyinga.”)
This became known to all who were dwelling in Jerusalem, so that in their language the field was called Akeldama, 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.'
Peter continued, “For it is written in the Book of Psalms: ‘May his homestead become desolate; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position as overseer.’
21 Eyo ni ya insonga, kutyo, umwi wa bharume abho bharubhishene neswe akatungu ako Omukama Yesu asokere no kwingira amwi neswe,
Therefore, one of the men who have accompanied us during the entire time that the Lord Jesus went in and 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 baptism of John up to the day when Jesus was taken up from us, must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
23 “Mbatura imbele bharume bhabhili, Yusufu oyo atogwaga Barnaba, oyo ona abhilikirwagwa Yusto na Mathia.
So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabas (who was given the name 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
Then they prayed, “Lord, yoʋ know the hearts of all; show us which of these two men yoʋ have chosen
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 turned away to go to his own place.”
26 Mbabhuma jikura kwo lubhara rwebhwe, na ikura nimugwira Mathia oyo abharirwe amwi na bhaliya jintumwa ekumi na umwi.
Then they cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias, so he was added to the eleven apostles.
