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, concerning all 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.
until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Ghost unto 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 he also shewed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning 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, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of 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 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, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost 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.”
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within 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 shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto 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, as they were looking, 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 stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, 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.
which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, which was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as 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 returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey off.
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 the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both 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 son] 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 with one accord continued stedfastly 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.
And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons [gathered] together, about a 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 needful that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that 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 received his portion in 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 obtained 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 became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called 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 made desolate, And let no man dwell therein: 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.
Of the men therefore which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went 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, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 Bhakabhabheka palongolo bhagosi bhabhele, Yusufu jhaakutibhweghe Barnaba ambaye pia akutibhu Yusto ni Mathia.
And they put forward 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, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,
25 Kutola nafasi katika huduma jha utume, ambapo Yuda abhombi uovu ni kulota mahali pa muene.”
to take the place in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas 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 gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
