Incito 1
1 Kuli wasunika Teofilo; Mulibuku lya kutanguna ndalalembamo bintu byonse Yesu mbyalikwinsa ne kwiyisha
I have made the former treatise, O Theophilus, of al that Jesus began to doe and teach,
2 kushikila pabusuba mbwalamantwa kuya kwilu. Katana amantwa kwilu, kupitila mu ngofu sha Mushimu Uswepa, walabambila batumwa mbwalasala ncobela kwinsa.
Vntill the day that hee was taken vp, after that hee through the holy Ghost, had giuen commandements vnto the Apostles, whome hee 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 whome also he presented himselfe aliue after that he had suffered, by many infallible tokens, being seene of them by the space of fourtie daies, and speaking of those thinges which appertaine to the kingdome of God.
4 Kacilinabo, Yesu walabambileti, “Kamutafuma mu Yelusalemu nanshi, mupembelele Mushimu Uswepa ngobalalaya Bata, mbuli ncondalamwambila.
And when he had gathered them together, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but to waite for the promise of the Father, which sayde hee, yee haue heard of me.
5 Yohane walikubatisha ne menshi, nomba papita masuba ang'anowa, nimubatishiwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
For Iohn in deede baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost within these fewe daies.
6 Batumwa mpobalabungana pamo ne Yesu, balamwipusheti, “Nkambo, sena ecino cindi nceti mubweshele Bwami ku Baislayeli?”
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdome to Israel?
7 Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nkacayandiketi amwe mwinshibe cindi nceti bikenshikenga bintu bili mungofu sha Bata.
And hee saide vnto them, It is not for you to know the times, or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his owne power,
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 yee shall receiue power of the holy Ghost, when he shall come on you: and ye shalbe witnesses vnto me both in Hierusalem and in all Iudea, and in Samaria, and vnto the vttermost part of the earth.
9 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwambeco walamantwa kwilu batumwa kabebelela, kushikila likumbi mpolyabashinkilila, balacileka kumubona.
And when he had spoken these things, while they behelde, he was taken vp: for a cloude tooke him vp out of their sight.
10 Batumwa basa kabacili balangishisha kwilu, mwakutengashila, batuloba babili bafwala byakufwala bituba, balemana pambali pabo,
And while they looked stedfastly towarde heauen, as hee went, beholde, two men stoode by them in white apparell,
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.”
Which also sayde, Yee men of Galile, why stande yee gasing into heauen? This Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, as yee haue seene him goe into heauen.
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 returned they vnto Hierusalem from the mount that is called the mount of Oliues, which is neere to Hierusalem, being from it a Sabbath daies iourney.
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.
And when they were come in, they went vp into an vpper chamber, where abode both Peter and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartlemew, and Matthewe, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas Iames brother.
14 Bonse balikuba balimbikila kupaila ne moyo umo, kayi palikuba Maliya banyina Yesu ne bakwabo Yesu, pamo ne batukashi nabambi.
These all continued with one accorde in prayer and supplication with the women, and Marie the mother of Iesus, and with his brethren.
15 Mpopalapita masuba ang'ana, bashoma muli Yesu bali mwanda umo ne makumi abili, balabungana pamo, Petulo walemana pakati pabo ne kwambeti,
And in those dayes Peter stoode vp in the middes of the disciples, and sayde (nowe the nomber of names that were in one place were about an hundreth and twentie.)
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.
Yee men and brethren, this scripture must needes haue beene fulfilled, which the holy Ghost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was guide to them that tooke Iesus.
17 Yudasi wanga wamulikoto lyetu, wakutenga ncito njasebensanga pamo ne njafwe.”
For hee was nombred with vs, and had obteined fellowship in this ministration.
18 Mali asa ngalacana pakwinsa bwipishi bulico walaula libala, mulibala umo emwalalisungilila. Walalaka panshi cakushapo libunda, walapasuka libunda ne mila yakendi yalapula panshi mbwee.
He therefore hath purchased a field with the reward of iniquitie: and when he had throwen downe himselfe headlong, hee brast asunder in the middes, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 Bonse bantu balikwikala mu Yelusalemu balanyumfwa. Kwelana ne mulaka wabo, libala ilyo balalikuweti, “Akeledama.” Akeledama ekwambeti, “Libala lya milopa.”
And it is knowen vnto all the inhabitants of Hierusalem, in so much, that that field is called in their owne language, Aceldama, 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 booke of Psalmes, Let his habitation be void, and let no man dwel therein: also, Let another take his charge.
21 “Pacebo ico, twelela kusalapo umo pa bantu abo mbotwalikuba nabo, pacindi Mwami Yesu mpwalikuba pakati petu
Wherefore of these men which haue companied with vs, all the time that the Lord Iesus was conuersant among vs,
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 baptisme of Iohn vnto the day that hee was taken vp from vs, must one of them bee made a witnesse with vs of his resurrection.
23 Neco balasalapo batuloba babili Yosefe Balasaba, lina lyakendi nalimbi ni Yusito, kayi ne Matiya.
And they presented two, Ioseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Iustus, and Matthias.
24 Neco, balapaileti, “Nkambo Lesa, njamwe mwishi myoyo ya bantu bonse, kamutuleshani uyo ngomulasalapo pa batuloba babili aba,
And they praied, saying, Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 kwambeti amante ncito iyi ya butumwa, njalashiya Yudasi, uyo walafwa ne kuya kumusena wamwelela.”
That he may take the roume of this ministration and Apostleship, from which Iudas hath gone astray, to goe to his owne place.
26 Panyuma pakendi balabauma nsolo pa batuloba babili aba. Nsolo yalawila Matiya, neco walaba palikoto lya batumwa likumi ne umo.
Then they gaue foorth their lottes: and the lotte fell on Matthias, and hee was by a common consent counted with the eleuen Apostles.
