Incito 1
1 Kuli wasunika Teofilo; Mulibuku lya kutanguna ndalalembamo bintu byonse Yesu mbyalikwinsa ne kwiyisha
The first account I compiled, O Theophilus, was about all that Jesus began to do and teach
2 kushikila pabusuba mbwalamantwa kuya kwilu. Katana amantwa kwilu, kupitila mu ngofu sha Mushimu Uswepa, walabambila batumwa mbwalasala ncobela kwinsa.
until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles 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.
He presented himself alive to them, after his suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over the course of forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
4 Kacilinabo, Yesu walabambileti, “Kamutafuma mu Yelusalemu nanshi, mupembelele Mushimu Uswepa ngobalalaya Bata, mbuli ncondalamwambila.
While he was with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “Which,” he said, “you heard about from me.
5 Yohane walikubatisha ne menshi, nomba papita masuba ang'anowa, nimubatishiwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Batumwa mpobalabungana pamo ne Yesu, balamwipusheti, “Nkambo, sena ecino cindi nceti mubweshele Bwami ku Baislayeli?”
So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are yoʋ going to restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?”
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 the times or seasons that the Father has set by 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 comes upon you, and you will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwambeco walamantwa kwilu batumwa kabebelela, kushikila likumbi mpolyabashinkilila, balacileka kumubona.
After he said this, he was lifted up as they looked on, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 Batumwa basa kabacili balangishisha kwilu, mwakutengashila, batuloba babili bafwala byakufwala bituba, balemana pambali pabo,
As he went, they were gazing up into the sky, when behold, two men in white clothing were standing beside them.
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.”
They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
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 mount 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.
After entering the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, James, John, 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.
With one accord they were all devoting themselves to prayer and supplication, along with Jesus' brothers and several women, including Mary the mother of Jesus.
15 Mpopalapita masuba ang'ana, bashoma muli Yesu bali mwanda umo ne makumi abili, balabungana pamo, Petulo walemana pakati pabo ne kwambeti,
In those days Peter stood up among the disciples (a crowd of about one hundred twenty people who were gathered together). He 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 for this Scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17 Yudasi wanga wamulikoto lyetu, wakutenga ncito njasebensanga pamo ne njafwe.”
For he was numbered with us and received his share 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 Judas had acquired a field with the wages of unrighteousness, and falling headfirst, 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.”
This became known to all who were dwelling in Jerusalem, so that in their language the field was called Akeldama, that is, 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!
Peter continued, “For it is written in the Book of Psalms: ‘May his homestead become desolate; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position as overseer.’
21 “Pacebo ico, twelela kusalapo umo pa bantu abo mbotwalikuba nabo, pacindi Mwami Yesu mpwalikuba pakati petu
Therefore, one of the men who have accompanied us during the entire 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 up to the day when Jesus was taken up from us, must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
23 Neco balasalapo batuloba babili Yosefe Balasaba, lina lyakendi nalimbi ni Yusito, kayi ne Matiya.
So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabas (who was given the name Justus), and Matthias.
24 Neco, balapaileti, “Nkambo Lesa, njamwe mwishi myoyo ya bantu bonse, kamutuleshani uyo ngomulasalapo pa batuloba babili aba,
Then they prayed, “Lord, yoʋ know the hearts of all; show us which of these two men yoʋ have chosen
25 kwambeti amante ncito iyi ya butumwa, njalashiya Yudasi, uyo walafwa ne kuya kumusena wamwelela.”
to receive the share of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned away to 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.
Then they cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias, so he was added to the eleven apostles.
