Itendi 1
1 Apwanga a Teopili, nshitabhu shangu sha ntai najandishe indu yowe ibhatendile a Yeshu na jiganya kuumila kundandubho ja liengo lyabho,
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 mpaka lyene lyubha libhatolilwe kwenda kunani kunnungu lila. Bhakanabhe tolwa kwenda kunnungu bhashinkwaalajiyanga mitume bhubhaagwilenje bhala kwa mashili gaka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 Kwa mobha makumi nsheshe bhakaweje, bhashinkwilangula papagwinji kubhaajiganywa bhabho. Bhatendaga kwaabhonanga a Yeshu na bhalabho bhatendaga kungulushila ga Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu.
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's kingdom.
4 A Yeshu bhakaimaneje na bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaamulishenje nnei, “Nnajabhulangane pa Yelushalemu, ikabhe nnindililanje miadi ja Atati, gunammalanjilenje gala.
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 A Yowana pubhabhatishe kwa mashi, ikabheje mmanganya shimmatishwanje kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo mobha gashoko gakwiyago.”
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6 Bhai, mitume bhakaimananjeje pamo na a Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhuli Mmakulungwa, nnaino punkupinga kwaabhujishiyanga upalume bha Ishilaeli?”
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mobha na miongwe ja genego mugali mmakono ga Atati, na wala nngabha liengo lyenunji kumumanya kuti shiibhe shakani.
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 Ikabheje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo pashantulushilanjepo shimpatanje mashili na shimmanganje mmakong'ondela bhangu nshilambo sha Yelushalemu na ku Yudea na ku Shamalia, mpaka kumpelo gwa shilambolyo.”
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 Bhakabheleketeje genego, a Yeshu gubhatolilwe kwenda kunnungu akuno bhalikwaalolesheyanga, liunde likwaunishilaga bhangaabhonanga kabhili.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 Bhalinginji nkulolesheya kunani, bhalabho bhalikwijendela, shangupe bhandunji bhabhili bhawetenje nngubho yanawe gubhajiminngene patome jabhonji,
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 gubhashitenje, “Mmnganya mmandunji mma ku Galilaya, pakuti nshijimangana akuno nnilolanga kunani? A Yeshu bhatolilwe kungwenunji kwenda kunnungu, shibhajiye kabhili nneyo peyo malinga shimwabhweninji bhalikwenda kunnungu.”
who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
12 Kungai bhantenga gubhabhujilenje ku Yelushalemu kukopoka kushitumbi shishemwa Shitumbi sha Misheituni, kutalika kwakwe mbuti mwanja gwa kilomita jimo.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 Bhakaikanganeje kunnjini gubhakwelilenje ku golopa kukati jibhaimanangaga, pubhalinginji a Petili na a Yowana na a Yakobho na a Ndeleya na a Pilipi na a Tomashi na a Bhatolomeyo na a Matei na a Yakobho bhanabhabho a Alupayo na a Shimoni Shelote na a Yuda bhanabhabho a Yakobho.
When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 Bhowe bhatendaga imananga kwa ntima gumo mobha gowe nkujuga Nnungu, bhashinkupagwanga bhanabhakongwe na a Malia anyinabhabho a Yeshu na ashaapwabho.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Lyubha limo a Petili bhashinkujima pa lugwinjili lwa bhaakulupalilanga bha a Yeshu, pubhalinginji bhandunji ishila makumi kumi na gabhili,
In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 gubhashite, “Ashaapwanga, ishinkupinjikwa gene Majandiko ga Ukonjelo gamalile, gabhelekete Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, kwa kang'wa ja a Daudi, ashinkulondola ga a Yuda bhaalongolelenje bhandu kukwaakamula a Yeshu.
"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
17 Pabha a Yuda bhashinkuagulwa kubha bhantenga pamo na uwe, kwa nneyo pubhaliji munkumbi gwetu.”
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 Nng'itu gwaumilwe kwa mmbiya yapatikene kwa shitendi shabho shangali sha mmbone, gubhagwile pai, nitumbuka lipitiu na matumbo nikushuka pala.
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 Bhandu bhowe pa Yelushalemu gubhapilikenenje ga nshibha gwa a Yuda, kwa nneyo gwene nng'itu gula kwa luga jabhonji pubhashemilenje Akelidama, malombolelo gakwe, “Nng'itu gwa Minyai.”
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
20 “Pabha, ishijandikwa nshitabhu sha Shabhuli, ‘Jaliji ndamo jabho jiyushe liame, mundu jojowe anatame penepo.’ Na kabhili ishijandikwa. ‘Mundu juna atole shitengu shabho sha liengo.’
For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
21 Bhai, mundu jumo munkumbi gwa bhalonganangaga na uwe mobha gowe gutwaowaga na a Yeshu tunng'agule ailunde nnikundi lyetu.
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Puipinjikwa jwenejo abhe alonganaga na uwe kutandubhila mobha gubhabhatishaga a Yowana, mpaka lyubha libhatolilwe a Yeshu kwenda kunnungu. Jwenejo shakamule liengo na uwe lyapita kong'ondela kuyuka kwa a Yeshu.”
beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
23 Penepo, gubhalugulenje mena ga bhandu bhabhili, jwantai kulugulwa Yoshepu ashemwaga Bhalishabha eu Yushitushi, na jwabhili Matiashi.
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Kungai gubhajujilenje Nnungu bhalinkutinji, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe nnjimanyi mitima ja bhandu bhowe. Kwa nneyo ntulanguye katika bhene bhabhilibha jwei jumunng'agwile,
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 akamule liengo libhalepele a Yuda nikwenda kubhapinjile bhayene.”
to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
26 Gubhatendilenje shikoma, gushaagwilile a Matiashi, gubhabhishilwe munkumbi gwa mitume likumi limo na jumo bhala.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
