Incito 1
1 Kuli wasunika Teofilo; Mulibuku lya kutanguna ndalalembamo bintu byonse Yesu mbyalikwinsa ne kwiyisha
The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 kushikila pabusuba mbwalamantwa kuya kwilu. Katana amantwa kwilu, kupitila mu ngofu sha Mushimu Uswepa, walabambila batumwa mbwalasala ncobela kwinsa.
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 Panyuma pa kufwa ne kupunduka kubafu, Yesu walabonekela ku batumwa bakendi tunkanda twingi, munshila shingi shapusana pusana kushomesha kwambeti nimuyumi, walabonekela kulyendibo kwa masuba makumi ana. kayi walabambila sha Bwami bwa Lesa.
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 Kacilinabo, Yesu walabambileti, “Kamutafuma mu Yelusalemu nanshi, mupembelele Mushimu Uswepa ngobalalaya Bata, mbuli ncondalamwambila.
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 Yohane walikubatisha ne menshi, nomba papita masuba ang'anowa, nimubatishiwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Batumwa mpobalabungana pamo ne Yesu, balamwipusheti, “Nkambo, sena ecino cindi nceti mubweshele Bwami ku Baislayeli?”
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
7 Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nkacayandiketi amwe mwinshibe cindi nceti bikenshikenga bintu bili mungofu sha Bata.
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 Nomba Mushimu Uswepa wakesa pali njamwe nimukatambule ngofu. Kayi nimukabe bakamboni bakame ku Yelusalemu ne ku Yudeya konse kayi ne ku Samaliya, mpaka kushika kwakuma cishi capanshi.”
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
9 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwambeco walamantwa kwilu batumwa kabebelela, kushikila likumbi mpolyabashinkilila, balacileka kumubona.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Batumwa basa kabacili balangishisha kwilu, mwakutengashila, batuloba babili bafwala byakufwala bituba, balemana pambali pabo,
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 ne kubepusheti, “Amwe batuloba ba ku Galileya mwemanina cani pano kamuli mwalangishishowa mwilu? Yesu opele uyu lamantwa kufuma pakati penu kuya kwilu, nakese kayi ndendende mbuli momula mubonene kaya Kwilu.”
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 Lino basa batumwa balabwelela ku Yelusalemu kufuma ku mulundu wa ma Olifi. Palikubowa mushinso ufupi wabula kukwana ntamwa myanda likumi, kufuma ku Yelusalemu.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
13 Mpobalengila mu Yelusalemu, balatanta mucipinda capelu mung'anda mobali kukumana. Abo balayako balikuba; Petulo ne Yohane ne Jemusi ne Ndileya ne Filipo ne Tomasi ne Batolomeyo ne Mateyo ne Jemusi Mwanendi Alufeyo ne Shimoni wa mucipani ca bantu balikulwanina lwanguluko mu cishi ca Islayeli, kayi ne Yudasi mwanendi Jemusi.
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 Bonse balikuba balimbikila kupaila ne moyo umo, kayi palikuba Maliya banyina Yesu ne bakwabo Yesu, pamo ne batukashi nabambi.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Mpopalapita masuba ang'ana, bashoma muli Yesu bali mwanda umo ne makumi abili, balabungana pamo, Petulo walemana pakati pabo ne kwambeti,
In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 “Mobanse bame, calikuba celela kukwanilishiwa calalembwa mu Mabala a Lesa sha Yudasi. Mushimu Uswepa kupitila muli Dafeti, walamba sha endiye uyo walatangunina bantu kuya kwikata 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 Yudasi wanga wamulikoto lyetu, wakutenga ncito njasebensanga pamo ne njafwe.”
For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 Mali asa ngalacana pakwinsa bwipishi bulico walaula libala, mulibala umo emwalalisungilila. Walalaka panshi cakushapo libunda, walapasuka libunda ne mila yakendi yalapula panshi mbwee.
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
19 Bonse bantu balikwikala mu Yelusalemu balanyumfwa. Kwelana ne mulaka wabo, libala ilyo balalikuweti, “Akeledama.” Akeledama ekwambeti, “Libala lya milopa.”
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
20 Petulo walapitilisha kwambeti, “Pakwinga mulibuku lya Kutembaula muli maswi alambangeti, “Ng'anda yakendi isanduke matongo, Kapataba muntu shikwikalamo!” Muli kayi maswi alambangeti, “Naumbi amante musena wancito yakendi!
For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
21 “Pacebo ico, twelela kusalapo umo pa bantu abo mbotwalikuba nabo, pacindi Mwami Yesu mpwalikuba pakati petu
“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 kufumina pacindi Yohane mpwalikubatisha bantu, mpaka busuba Yesu mbwalamantwa kufuma pakati petu ne kuya kwilu. Umo wa bantu aba abe kamboni pamo ne njafwe, pa shakupunduka kubafu kwa Yesu.”
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 Neco balasalapo batuloba babili Yosefe Balasaba, lina lyakendi nalimbi ni Yusito, kayi ne Matiya.
They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
24 Neco, balapaileti, “Nkambo Lesa, njamwe mwishi myoyo ya bantu bonse, kamutuleshani uyo ngomulasalapo pa batuloba babili aba,
They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 kwambeti amante ncito iyi ya butumwa, njalashiya Yudasi, uyo walafwa ne kuya kumusena wamwelela.”
to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
26 Panyuma pakendi balabauma nsolo pa batuloba babili aba. Nsolo yalawila Matiya, neco walaba palikoto lya batumwa likumi ne umo.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
