Matendo ya Mitume 1
1 Kitabu kya muandi nakilembili, Theofilo nikajobha ghoha kwa yesu ghaabhanji kubhomba ni kumanyisya,
The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
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 in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments 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 showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining 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 while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye heard from me;
5 Kwamba Yohana abatili kwa masi, lakini mbatisibhwa kwa Roho Mtakatatifu mu magono agha madebe.”
for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
6 Nabho bhabhonene pamonga bhakan'kota “Bwana, ivi obho ndo muda ambabho wibeta kubhakerebhusila Israeli bhufalme?”
They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to 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 belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
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 ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end 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 having thus spoken, while they beheld, 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 into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
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 said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld 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 called Olivet, which is near 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 had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, 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.
These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 Katika magono ghala ajhemili katikati jha bhalongomunu, kama bhenu 120, akajobha.
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one 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.
Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became 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 among us, and obtained the allotment 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.
Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, 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 that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, 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 made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
21 Ejhu, jha muhimu, henu, mmonga ghwa bhagosi ambabho bhalongosene ni tete bhwakati Bwana Yesu abhokili ni kujhingila kwa tete.
Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that 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.
from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one 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 proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, 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 they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which 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 part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, 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 cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
