< Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 1 >
1 Echitabho cha kara nachandikile, ninaika gona ganu Yesu ambile okukora no kwiigisha,
2 okukinga olunaku olwo omwene okulamilwa ingulu. Gunu gwakolekene amalile okososha echilagilo okusoka ku Mwoyo Mwelu okuja Kuntumwa jinu asolele.
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.
4 Bhuli akabhugangana amwi nabho, nabhakomeresha bhatasokao Yerusalemu, nawe bhalinde iahadi ya Latabhugenyi, eyo, aikile, “Mwonguwe okusoka kwanye
5 okubha Yohana abhatijaga chimwi kwa manji, nawe omubhatijibhwa kwo Mwoyo Omweru munaku jitali nyafu.”
6 Mbe bhejire bhekofyanya amwi mbamubhusha, “Lata, gunu nigwo omwanya ogwokubhasubhisha Israeli obhukama?”
7 Omwene nabhabhwira, “Itali kwemwe okumenya omwanya ogwo Lata eteleyewo kubhukama bhwaye omwene.”
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.”
9 Omukama Yesu ejile amara okwaika ganu, mbaroraga inguru, Omwene nagegibhwa inguru, elire ndimufundikila mbasingwa omurora kwa meso gebhwe.
10 Omwanya nibharora mwiguru nekeneke nagenda, mbe, abhanu bhabhili mbemeleguru agati yebhwe bhafwaye jingubho jinyeru.
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.
12 Nio nibhasubha Yerusalemu okusoka muchima cha mizeituni echo chili ayeyi na Yerusalemu, olugendo rwa insiku ya isabhato.
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.
14 Bhona nibhagwatana amwi lwa munu umwi, kwo kwikomesha nibhagenderera mwisabhwa. Amwi nabho bhaliga bhaliwo abhagasi, Mariamu Nyiramwene Yesu, na bhamura bhaye.
15 Mu nsiku ejo Petro nemereguru agati ya bhaili, kuti bhanu 120, naika,
16 Bhaili, yaliga kwiire ati amaandiko gakumire, ao kara Omwoyo Omweru aikile kwo munwa gwa Daudi inguru ya Yuda, oyo abheresishe abho bhamugwatire Yesu.
17 Kwo kubha omwene ali umwi weswe na aramie orubhara lwaye lwa ifaida ku bhukosi bhunu.
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.
19 Bhona abho bhekaye Yerusalemu bhonguwe linu, kutyo orubhara orwo mbarubhilikila kwa inyaika yebhwe “Akeldama” eryo ni nsambu ya manyinga.”)
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.'
21 Eyo ni ya insonga, kutyo, umwi wa bharume abho bharubhishene neswe akatungu ako Omukama Yesu asokere no kwingira amwi neswe,
22 okwambira ku bhubhatija bhwa Yohana okukingira ku lusiku orwo agegerwe inguru, kwiire abhe mubhambasj wo bhusuruko amwi neswe.
23 “Mbatura imbele bharume bhabhili, Yusufu oyo atogwaga Barnaba, oyo ona abhilikirwagwa Yusto na Mathia.
24 Abhene mbasabhwa mbaika ati, “Awe, Omukama, umenyere emitima ja abhanu bhona, kutyo tura abhweru ni uya ku bhaili bhanu oyo usorere
25 okugega olubhara mu bhukosi no bhutumwa, ao Yuda obhunyamuke no kugenda kurubhara rwaye.”
26 Mbabhuma jikura kwo lubhara rwebhwe, na ikura nimugwira Mathia oyo abharirwe amwi na bhaliya jintumwa ekumi na umwi.
