Incito 1
1 Kuli wasunika Teofilo; Mulibuku lya kutanguna ndalalembamo bintu byonse Yesu mbyalikwinsa ne kwiyisha
Truly, I made the first history, O Theophilus, concerning all things which 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.
from the day on which, having given commandment through the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom He had chosen, He was received up.
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 whom He also, after He suffered, manifested Himself alive in many testimonials, being seen by them forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:
4 Kacilinabo, Yesu walabambileti, “Kamutafuma mu Yelusalemu nanshi, mupembelele Mushimu Uswepa ngobalalaya Bata, mbuli ncondalamwambila.
and being assembled together with them, He commanded them, Not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father which ye heard from me;
5 Yohane walikubatisha ne menshi, nomba papita masuba ang'anowa, nimubatishiwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
that John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 Batumwa mpobalabungana pamo ne Yesu, balamwipusheti, “Nkambo, sena ecino cindi nceti mubweshele Bwami ku Baislayeli?”
Therefore indeed having assembled, they asked Him saying, Lord, do you at this time restore 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 your province, to know the times or seasons, which the Father placed in 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 shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost having come upon you, and shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and all Judea, and in Samaria, and into the extremity of the earth.
9 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwambeco walamantwa kwilu batumwa kabebelela, kushikila likumbi mpolyabashinkilila, balacileka kumubona.
And having spoken these words, they looking, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him from their eyes.
10 Batumwa basa kabacili balangishisha kwilu, mwakutengashila, batuloba babili bafwala byakufwala bituba, balemana pambali pabo,
And while they were gazing up into the heaven, He going, and behold, two men stood by them in white garments, who also said,
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.”
Ye Galilean men, why stand you looking up into the heaven? this same Jesus, the One having been received up into the heaven, will so come in the manner in which you saw Him going up into the 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 into Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, being a journey of a Sabbath day.
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 came in, they went up into the upper room, where Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James, were abiding.
14 Bonse balikuba balimbikila kupaila ne moyo umo, kayi palikuba Maliya banyina Yesu ne bakwabo Yesu, pamo ne batukashi nabambi.
They were all persevering of one accord in prayer along with the women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.
15 Mpopalapita masuba ang'ana, bashoma muli Yesu bali mwanda umo ne makumi abili, balabungana pamo, Petulo walemana pakati pabo ne kwambeti,
And during those days, Peter standing up in the midst of the brethren, said (and the number of names were about one hundred and twenty),
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.
Men, brethren, it behooved the scripture which the Holy Ghost predicted through the mouth of David concerning Judas, the one becoming leader to those arresting Jesus, to be fulfilled;
17 Yudasi wanga wamulikoto lyetu, wakutenga ncito njasebensanga pamo ne njafwe.”
because he was numbered among us and received the lot of 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.
Then indeed he purchased a field by the reward of iniquity, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels burst out;
19 Bonse bantu balikwikala mu Yelusalemu balanyumfwa. Kwelana ne mulaka wabo, libala ilyo balalikuweti, “Akeledama.” Akeledama ekwambeti, “Libala lya milopa.”
which indeed was known to all those dwelling at Jerusalem, so that field, in their own dialect, is called Acheldamach; 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!
For it has been written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let there be no one dwelling in it, and let another take his pastorate.
21 “Pacebo ico, twelela kusalapo umo pa bantu abo mbotwalikuba nabo, pacindi Mwami Yesu mpwalikuba pakati petu
Therefore the men having come together with us all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in unto us and went out,
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, until the day on which He was taken up from us, it behooveth one of these to be witness of His resurrection along with us.
23 Neco balasalapo batuloba babili Yosefe Balasaba, lina lyakendi nalimbi ni Yusito, kayi ne Matiya.
And they nominated two, Joseph, called Barsabas who was called Justus, and Matthias.
24 Neco, balapaileti, “Nkambo Lesa, njamwe mwishi myoyo ya bantu bonse, kamutuleshani uyo ngomulasalapo pa batuloba babili aba,
And praying they said, Thou, O Lord, Heart-searcher of all, show up the one of these two, whom thou hast chosen
25 kwambeti amante ncito iyi ya butumwa, njalashiya Yudasi, uyo walafwa ne kuya kumusena wamwelela.”
to receive the place of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas departed to go into his own place.
26 Panyuma pakendi balabauma nsolo pa batuloba babili aba. Nsolo yalawila Matiya, neco walaba palikoto lya batumwa likumi ne umo.
And they gave lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
