Matendo ya Mitume 1
1 Kitabu kya muandi nakilembili, Theofilo nikajobha ghoha kwa yesu ghaabhanji kubhomba ni kumanyisya,
The former record I made, O Theophilus, of all things that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 mpaka ligono muene apokelibhu kunani. Ej'ha jha jhele baada jha kupisya amri kup'etela Roho Mtakatifu kwa mitume bhabhajhele abhachaguili.
till the day on which he was taken up, after he had, through the Holy Spirit, given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 Baada jha malombosi gha muene, abhonekane kwa bhene ajha hai pia ni fitishu fingi kushuhudibhwa. Kwa magono arobaini akidhihirishi kwa bhene, naa ajobhili kuhusu bhufalme bhwa K'yara.
To whom, after he had suffered, he also showed himself alive, by many indubitable proofs; appearing to them for forty days, and speaking of the things that pertain to the kingdom of God.
4 Bhoibhonana nabhu abhajubhili bhasibhoki Yerusalemu, lakini bhalendayi kwa ndabha jha ahadi jha Dadi, ambajho ajobhili, “Mwaip'eliki kuhomela kwa nene.
And calling them together, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of my Father, which, said he, you have heard from me;
5 Kwamba Yohana abatili kwa masi, lakini mbatisibhwa kwa Roho Mtakatatifu mu magono agha madebe.”
for John indeed immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit, not many days hence.
6 Nabho bhabhonene pamonga bhakan'kota “Bwana, ivi obho ndo muda ambabho wibeta kubhakerebhusila Israeli bhufalme?”
Therefore, when they came together, they asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 Muene akabhajobhela, “Sawalepi kwa muenga kumanya bhwakati au majira ambayo Dadi akusudili kwa mamlaka gha muene.”
But he said to them: It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has reserved under his own control.
8 Lakini mwibeta kupokela nghofu bhwakati Roho mtakatifu paibeta kuhida kwa mwenga, ni muenga mwibe kujha mashahidi bha nene kuoha Yeresalemu ni Uyahudi jhioha ni Samaria mpaka mwisho ghwa nchi.”
But you shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses for me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the most distant part of the earth.
9 Bwana Yesu bho amalili kujobha agha, bhakaj'ha bhilanga kunani, muene ajhinulibhu kunani, ni libhengu lyan'gupiki bhasimboni kwa mihu gha bhene.
And when he had spoken these things, while they were looking on him, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Bhwakati bhilola kumbinguni ilota, ghafla bhanu bhabhele bhajhemili katikati jha bhene bhafwalili maguanda mabhalafu.
And while they were looking earnestly toward heaven, as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white raiment,
11 Bhakajobha, “Enyi bhanu bha Galilaya kwandabha jha kiki mwijhema apa mwilola kumbinguni.” Ojho Yesu jhaakwelili kunani kumbinguni ibeta kukerebhuka kwa namna jhela jhela kama kya mumbwene ilota kumbinguni.
who also said: Men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall come in the same manner in which you saw him go into heaven.
12 Ndipo bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu, kuhoma kukidonda kya mizeituni ambako okhu karibu ni Yerusalemu, mwendo ghwa ligono lya sabato.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day’s journey.
13 Bho bhafihili bhakalota ghorofani ambako bhatamaghe. Nabhene ndo Petro, Yohana Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Bhatholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo mwana ghwa Alfayo, Simoni Zelote ni Yuda mwana ghwa Yakobo.
And when they had come in, they went up into an upper room, in which dwelt Peter and James, and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 Bhoha bhaungene kama munu mmonga, kwa juhudi bhajhe bhijhendelela ni maombi pamonga ni abhu bhajhela bhadala, Mariamu nyinamunu Yesu nibhakaka yake.
All these, with one mind, continued in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Katika magono ghala ajhemili katikati jha bhalongomunu, kama bhenu 120, akajobha.
And in those days Peter arose in the midst of the disciples, (the number of the names together was about a hundred and twenty, ) and said:
16 Bhalonho bhangu, jhahele lazima maandiku ghatimisibhwayi, ambapo muandi Roho Mtakatifu ajobhili kwa kinywa kya muene Daudi, kuhusiana ni Yuda, ambajhe abha jhekisi bhala bhabharikamuili Yesu.
Brethren, it was necessary for this scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit had before spoken by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was a guide to those who took Jesus:
17 Kwa kujha muene ajhele mmonga bhitu na apokili fungu lya muene lye faida katika huduma ejhe.”
for he was numbered with us, and had been appointed to this ministry.
18 (Henu, munu ojho, ahemili lieneo kwa khela kya akipokili kwa uovu bhwa muene ni apuabinili kulongolasya mutu, mbhele ghwa kayuiki ni matumbu gha muene ghoha gajhele pabhwaka ghajhitiki.
Therefore he purchased a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 Bhoha bha bhataniuli Yerusalemu bhabeliki kuhusu e'le, hivyo lieneo e'lu bhakalikuta kwa lihina lya bhene. “Akeldama” e'lu ndo “N'gonda ghwa damu.”)
And it was known to all that dwelt in Jerusalem, so that the field is called, in their own language, Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.
20 “Mukitabu kya Zaburi ile mbibhu, lendayi eneo lya muene lijhelayi hame na asinihusibhu hata mmonga kutani apala, na Ruhusuajhi munu jhongi atolayi nafasi jha muenejha uongozi.
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no one dwell in it, and, His office let another take.
21 Ejhu, jha muhimu, henu, mmonga ghwa bhagosi ambabho bhalongosene ni tete bhwakati Bwana Yesu abhokili ni kujhingila kwa tete.
Therefore, of these men who have associated with us during the whole time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 kubhwanjila ku ubatisu bhwa Yohana mpaka ligono lela bho atwalibhu kunani lazima ajhelayi shahidi bhwa ufufuo pamonga ni tete.
beginning from the immersion of John till the day on which he was taken up from us, must one be appointed as a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 Bhakabhabheka palongolo bhagosi bhabhele, Yusufu jhaakutibhweghe Barnaba ambaye pia akutibhu Yusto ni Mathia.
And they set apart two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias;
24 Bhene bhasokili bhajobhili, “Bhebhe Bwana, jhaumanyi mioyo jha bhanu bhoha hivyo bhekayi wazi jholeku kati jha bhabhele abha ambajhe un'chaguili.
and praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, make known which of these two thou hast chosen,
25 Kutola nafasi katika huduma jha utume, ambapo Yuda abhombi uovu ni kulota mahali pa muene.”
that he may be appointed to this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 Bhakapiga kura kwa ajili jha bhene, ni kura jhikanibinila Mathia ambajhe abhalangibhu pamonga ni bhala mitume kumi na moja.
And they gave in their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias: and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
