Imbombo zya Atume 1
1 Eshitabu shila eshikulu nasimbile, Theofilo, nahayanjile zyonti zyahandile uYesu abhombe na manyizye,
The former treatise (logos) have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 mpaka isiku uYesu lyahejelewe humwanya. Eli lyabhombeshe uYesu nawafumya eamri ashilile hwa Umpepo Ufinjile hwa atumwe bhakwe bhabhasaluye.
Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit (pneuma) had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 Baada ye mayemba agateswe, abhoneshe ali mwomi ne mbonesyo nyingi zyazyabhoneshe. Hunsiku amalongo gane ahwibhonesezye hwa bhantu bhakwe nayanje ezyeumwe zya Ngulubhi.
To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 Na patangene nabho abhalajizizye aje bhasahasogole mu Yelusalemu, lelo bhagule edagano zyayanjile, “Zyamwahumvwaga neyanga afume huline
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, says he, all of you have heard of me.
5 aje uYohana abhozya naminzi lelo ane embabhozye nu Mpepo Ufinjile nkazyashila ensiku zishe.”
For John truly baptized with water; but all of you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit (pneuma) not many days behind.
6 Nabhakhomene pandwimo bhahabhuzya, “Aje eshi jibha lwubhabhagomoshezye oumwene a Izraeli?”
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 Umwene ahaga se shinza hulimwe amanye ezyahwibhesheye umwene Ungulubhi.”
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.
8 Lelo mubhaposhe ikhone nawinza hulimwe Umpepo Ufinjile, namwe mwaibha bhaketi bhane, mu Yelusalemu, mu Uyahudi mu Samaria, na humalishilo uwensi.”
But all of you shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit (pneuma) has come upon you: and all of you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 Nawayanga ezyo uYesu wabhuha wanyamulwa humwanya nabhamwenya, ibhengo lyakwinshila watega sebhalola na maso gabho.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Nulwabhahwenya humwanya kwa makini akienda, ghafula, abhantu bhabhili bhemelela pahati yabho bhakwite amenda amazelu.
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Bhaga, “Mwe bhantu bha hu Galilaya, yenu mwimeleye epa?” Muhwenya abhala humwanya? Unu uYesu yamuhulola abhala humwanya ahwenza shesho sha muhulola abhala.
Which also said, All of you men of Galilee, why stand all of you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as all of you have seen him go into heaven.
12 Nabhanvwa isho bhaela afume hwigamba lye mizeituni, abhale hu Yerusalemu humwendo wa Sabato.
Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
13 Nabhafiha bhahabhala hwigulu amatawa gabho bhabhebha. Petro, Yohana, Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Batholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo Omwana wa Alfayo, Simoni Zelote nu Yuda Umwana wa Yakobo.
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 Bonti ebho bhabhungene neshi umuntu umo, bhahendelela ne mputo. Bhali na abhashe, uMariamu unyina wa Yesu, nailumbu bhakwe.
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 Ensiku zila uPetro ahimilie pahati pa holo bhala bhahali abhantu 120, ahaga,
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
16 Mwe bhantu ehali huje enongwa zya Ngulubhi zitimile, zyayanjile Umpepo Ufinjile hwilomu lya Daudi zyazyayanjile uYuda, yabhalongole bhaala bhabhakete uYesu.
Men and brethren, this scripture must essentially have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit (pneuma) by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 Umwene ali pamo nate aposhile ifungu lyakwe elye faida humbombo ene.”
For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 (Neshi umuntu unu akalile ugunda huhela ila eye mbibhi zyakwe nepo ahagwiye abazuhu ivyanda na maula gahafuma na hwitishe.
Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 Bhonti bhabhakhalaga hu Yerusalemu bhuhumvwizye na ieneo elyo hahalyeta itawa hunjango yabho “Akeldama” ugwo “gunda gwi danda.”)
And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 “Mushitabu eshe Zaburi shijile, 'Ambe ugunda gwakwe gubhe lisami asahakhale umuntu nkumo;' tikunde, 'Umuntu uwinje ayeje enafasi yakwe eyelongozi.'
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
21 Elyo lye muhimu aje ulume umoyajendaga pandwimo nate lula uYesu nalihulite nahinjilaga nafume,
Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 ahwande lila uYohana na hozyaga abhantu mpaka isiku lila uYesu nahabhushile abhale humwanya, lazima abhe keti we luzyuho pandwimo nate.
Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 “Bhabhala hwitagalila alume bhabhili, uYusufu yahetelwe Barnaba, itawa elya mwabho ali yu Yusto, nu Mathiya.
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Abene bhalabha bhaga, “Awe, Ngolobhe umenye amoyo gabhantu bhonti tilaaba abhantu yusaluye
And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, which know the hearts of all men, show whether of these two you have chosen,
25 ahweje enafasi ya Yuda yabhombile embibhi nasogole hulite.”
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 Bhakhoma ekula ekula yagwila uMathiya yabhehwelwe pandwemo na bhaala atumwe ilongo nu weka.
And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
