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 Baada ya teswa kwake, Jwembe abonekine panga aikoti nathibitika kwanansima kaishuhudia. Kwa masoba arobaini abonekine kasabe na alongela likowe lya Nnongo.
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.

For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6 Napabakwembine pamope batikwinaluya, “Ngwana muda go ngawa kelebukeya Israel ufalme?”
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 Jwembe atikwabakia, lyengo lino mwangali tanga majira ambayo Tate atikusudia kwa mamlaka gake mwene.”
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set 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. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 Ngwana Yesu payomwile longela goo, pababile kabalolekeya kunani, ywembe apotwilile nnani, na liunde lyatikumwekelya bamweni likae kwa minyo gabe.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 Wakati kabalolekeya kunani kayenda gapula, Bandu abele bayemi pakatikati yabe baweti mangobo mauu.
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 Batibaya, “Mwenga mwabandu ba Galilaya, mwanja namani muyema pa kumlolekeya kumaunde?” Ayoo Yesu ywangulwike kunani, alowa buyangana nyonyo kati mwamumweni kayenda kunani.
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 Ngababuyangana Yerusalemu boka pa kitombe sa Mizeituni, ambao ubile papipi ni Yerusalemu, mwendo wa lisoba lya Sabato.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

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 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 with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Katika masoba ago Petro ayemi katikati ya alongo, kati bandu 120, abaya,
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 Alongo, ibile lazima panga maandiko gatimizwe, ambapo zamani Roho Mtakatifu abaya kwa nkanwa wa Daudi husiana na Yuda, ambaye abaelekeza balo bankamwile Yesu.
"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 Mana ywembe abile yumo witu na apeyilwe lifungu lyake na faida ya ayee huduma.”

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.'

They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, 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
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen

26 Bapigite kura kwa ajili yabe, na kura yatimwangukia Mathia ywabile atibalangilwa pamope na balo mitume komi na jimo.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
