Matendo ga Mitume 1
1 Kitabu cha kwaembo nikiandikie, Thefili, kanibaya goti Yesu atumbwi kugapanga na pundisha,
The first account I prepared, Theophilus [God-lover], concerned all that Jesus began to do and to teach
2 mpaka lisoba ambayo ywembe atipokelewa kunani. Ayee yabile payapitike amri pitya kwa Roho mtakatifu kwa mitume bayomwile kuwachawaa.
until the day in which He was taken back, after He had given commandment, by Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom He had chosen;
3 Baada ya teswa kwake, Jwembe abonekine panga aikoti nathibitika kwanansima kaishuhudia. Kwa masoba arobaini abonekine kasabe na alongela likowe lya Nnongo.
to whom He also showed Himself alive, after His suffering, by many convincing evidences, appearing to them during forty days and speaking of things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
4 Napabakwembine nabo pamope nabo, abakiye kana babuke Yerusalemu, ila balende kwa ajili ya ahadi ya Tate, bembe, batibaya, “Mwayowine boka kwango
And being together He directed them not to go away from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “which you heard from me;
5 panga Yohana alibatiza kabisa kwa mase, lakini ywabatizwa kwa Roho Mtakatifu katika masoba aga machunu.”
John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Napabakwembine pamope batikwinaluya, “Ngwana muda go ngawa kelebukeya Israel ufalme?”
Well then, being together they asked Him saying, “Lord, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?”
7 Jwembe atikwabakia, lyengo lino mwangali tanga majira ambayo Tate atikusudia kwa mamlaka gake mwene.”
So He said to them: “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has placed within His own authority.
8 Lakini mwapokya ngupu, wakati walowa icha Roho Mtakatifu kunani yinu na mwenga mwalowa panga masaidi bango mwabote mu'Yerusalemu na Uyahudi yoti na Samalia mpaka mwiso wa nchi.”
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be witnesses to me—both in Jerusalem, and all Judea and Samaria, and even to the last part of the earth.”
9 Ngwana Yesu payomwile longela goo, pababile kabalolekeya kunani, ywembe apotwilile nnani, na liunde lyatikumwekelya bamweni likae kwa minyo gabe.
Upon saying these things, as they watched, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him out of their sight.
10 Wakati kabalolekeya kunani kayenda gapula, Bandu abele bayemi pakatikati yabe baweti mangobo mauu.
And as they were staring into the sky, while He was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood beside them;
11 Batibaya, “Mwenga mwabandu ba Galilaya, mwanja namani muyema pa kumlolekeya kumaunde?” Ayoo Yesu ywangulwike kunani, alowa buyangana nyonyo kati mwamumweni kayenda kunani.
and they said: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into the sky? This very Jesus who is being taken up from you into the sky, He will come again in the precise manner that you observed Him going into the sky.”
12 Ngababuyangana Yerusalemu boka pa kitombe sa Mizeituni, ambao ubile papipi ni Yerusalemu, mwendo wa lisoba lya Sabato.
They then returned to Jerusalem from the mount called ‘of Olives’, which is near Jerusalem (a Sabbath day's journey).
13 Pabaikite bayei mughorofa mwabatamage. Na bembe ni Petro, Yohana, Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Batholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Simoni Zelote na Yuda mwana wa Yakobo.
When they had entered [the city] they went up into the upper room where they were staying: namely Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas of James.
14 Boti babile mpamo kati mundu yumo, kwa juhudi babile batiyendelya katika maombi pamope na ago babile anwawa, Mariamu mao gake Yesu, na anja bake.
All these were continuing with one purpose in prayer and petition, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
15 Katika masoba ago Petro ayemi katikati ya alongo, kati bandu 120, abaya,
Well in those days Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (the number of people assembled there was about 120) and said:
16 Alongo, ibile lazima panga maandiko gatimizwe, ambapo zamani Roho Mtakatifu abaya kwa nkanwa wa Daudi husiana na Yuda, ambaye abaelekeza balo bankamwile Yesu.
“Men, brothers: It was necessary that this Scripture be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by David's mouth concerning Judas, who was guide to those who arrested Jesus;
17 Mana ywembe abile yumo witu na apeyilwe lifungu lyake na faida ya ayee huduma.”
in that he was numbered with us and obtained his share in this ministry.”
18 (Nambeambe yoo apemite lieneo kichelo chapeyilwe kwa ubaya wake atitumbuka alongwiye ntwee, yega yatipapwanika matumbu panja gatipekanika.
(In fact this man acquired a field with the wages of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle, and all his innards were spilled out.
19 Bote babatamaye Yerusalemu bayowine kuhusu likowe lee, na lieneo lyoo balikemite kwa lugha yabe “Akeldama” ango ni “ngunda wa myai.”)
And it became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language that field came to be called ‘Akeldama’, that is, ‘Field of Blood’.)
20 “Mu kitabu sa Zaburi iandikilwe,” Lenda lenda lieneo lyake ube hame na kana iruhusiwe hata yumo tama palo,'na 'Ruhusa mundu ywenge aitole nafasi ya utawala.'
“Because it stands written in Book of Psalms: ‘Let his residence become desolate, and may no one live in it’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
21 Ayoo nga muhimu, kwa eyo, yumo wa alalome ambao batiambatana natwenga wakati Ngwana Yesu aboi na kujingya kati yitu,
So then, of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 tumbwile mu'ubatizo wa Yohana mpaka lisoba lelo lyapotwilwe kunani, lazima abe shahidi ba ufunuo pamope ni twenga.
beginning from the baptism of John until the day when He was taken up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
23 “Babekite nnongi yabe analome abele, Yusufu ywakemelwa Barnaba, ambae ywakemelwa Yusto na Mathia.
So they nominated two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Bembe balobite kababaya, “Wenga, Ngwana, uitangite mioyo ya bandu bote, nga nyoo beka mbolika ywaako kati ya abele aba abachawile
And praying they said: “You, Lord, Knower of all hearts, show which one of these two You have chosen
25 kuitola nafasi katika huduma na utume, ambayo Yuda apangite ubou na yendya mahali pake.”
to receive the portion of this ministry and apostleship, out of which Judas turned aside to go into his own place.”
26 Bapigite kura kwa ajili yabe, na kura yatimwangukia Mathia ywabile atibalangilwa pamope na balo mitume komi na jimo.
And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
