Matendo ya Mitume 1
1 Kitabu kya muandi nakilembili, Theofilo nikajobha ghoha kwa yesu ghaabhanji kubhomba ni kumanyisya,
The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began 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.
Until the day on which, giving commandments by the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up.
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 also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of 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 eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth.
5 Kwamba Yohana abatili kwa masi, lakini mbatisibhwa kwa Roho Mtakatatifu mu magono agha madebe.”
For John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence.
6 Nabho bhabhonene pamonga bhakan'kota “Bwana, ivi obho ndo muda ambabho wibeta kubhakerebhusila Israeli bhufalme?”
They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again 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 the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power:
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 the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost 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 said these things, while they looked on, he was raised 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 beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments.
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: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going 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 that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within 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 were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Jude 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 were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 Katika magono ghala ajhemili katikati jha bhalongomunu, kama bhenu 120, akajobha.
In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said: (now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty: )
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.
Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus:
17 Kwa kujha muene ajhele mmonga bhitu na apokili fungu lya muene lye faida katika huduma ejhe.”
Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of 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.
And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, 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 became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, 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 their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take.
21 Ejhu, jha muhimu, henu, mmonga ghwa bhagosi ambabho bhalongosene ni tete bhwakati Bwana Yesu abhokili ni kujhingila kwa tete.
Wherefore of these men who have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went 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 baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 Bhakabhabheka palongolo bhagosi bhabhele, Yusufu jhaakutibhweghe Barnaba ambaye pia akutibhu Yusto ni Mathia.
And they appointed 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 men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 Kutola nafasi katika huduma jha utume, ambapo Yuda abhombi uovu ni kulota mahali pa muene.”
To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, 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 them lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
