Incito 1
1 Kuli wasunika Teofilo; Mulibuku lya kutanguna ndalalembamo bintu byonse Yesu mbyalikwinsa ne kwiyisha
In the former treatise (Deare frende Theophilus) I have written of all that Iesus beganne to do and teache
2 kushikila pabusuba mbwalamantwa kuya kwilu. Katana amantwa kwilu, kupitila mu ngofu sha Mushimu Uswepa, walabambila batumwa mbwalasala ncobela kwinsa.
vntyll the daye in the which he was taken vp after that he thorowe the holy goost had geven commaundementes vnto the Apostles which 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 whom also he shewed him selfe alyve after his passion by many tokens apperynge vnto them fourty dayes and speakynge of the kyngdome of god
4 Kacilinabo, Yesu walabambileti, “Kamutafuma mu Yelusalemu nanshi, mupembelele Mushimu Uswepa ngobalalaya Bata, mbuli ncondalamwambila.
and gaddered them togeder and commaunded the that they shuld not departe from Ierusalem: but to wayte for ye promys of the father whereof ye have herde of me.
5 Yohane walikubatisha ne menshi, nomba papita masuba ang'anowa, nimubatishiwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
For Iohn baptised wt water: but ye shalbe baptised with the holy goost and that with in this feawe dayes.
6 Batumwa mpobalabungana pamo ne Yesu, balamwipusheti, “Nkambo, sena ecino cindi nceti mubweshele Bwami ku Baislayeli?”
When they were come togeder they axed of him sayinge: Lorde wilt thou at this tyme restore agayne ye kyngdome to Israel?
7 Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nkacayandiketi amwe mwinshibe cindi nceti bikenshikenga bintu bili mungofu sha Bata.
And he sayde vnto them: It is not for you to knowe the tymes or the seasons which ye father hath put in his awne 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 ye shall receave power of the holy goost which shall come on you. And ye shall be witnesses vnto me in Ierusalem and in all Iewrye and in Samary and even vnto the worldes ende.
9 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwambeco walamantwa kwilu batumwa kabebelela, kushikila likumbi mpolyabashinkilila, balacileka kumubona.
And when he had spoken these thinges whyll they behelde he was take vp and a cloude receaved 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 vp to heaven as he went beholde two men stode 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: ye men of Galile why stonde ye gasinge vp into heave? This same Iesus which is taken vp fro you in to heaven shall so come even as ye haue sene him goo 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 returned they vnto Ierusalem from mount olivete which is nye to Ierusalem coteyninge a Saboth dayes iorney.
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 a parler where abode both Peter and Iames Iohn and Andrew Philip and Thomas Bartlemew and Mathew Iames the sonne of Alpheus and Simo Zelotes and Iudas Iames sonne.
14 Bonse balikuba balimbikila kupaila ne moyo umo, kayi palikuba Maliya banyina Yesu ne bakwabo Yesu, pamo ne batukashi nabambi.
These all cotinued with one acorde in prayer and supplicacion with the wemen and Mary the mother of Iesu 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 stode vp in the myddes of the disciples and sayde (the noumbre of names that were to gether were aboute an hondred 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.
Ye men and brethren this scripture must have nedes ben fulfilled which the holy goost thorow ye mouth of David spake before of Iudas which was gyde to them that tooke Iesus.
17 Yudasi wanga wamulikoto lyetu, wakutenga ncito njasebensanga pamo ne njafwe.”
For he was noubred with vs and had obtayned fellouship in this ministracion.
18 Mali asa ngalacana pakwinsa bwipishi bulico walaula libala, mulibala umo emwalalisungilila. Walalaka panshi cakushapo libunda, walapasuka libunda ne mila yakendi yalapula panshi mbwee.
And the same hath now possessed a plot of grounde with the rewarde of iniquite and when he was hanged brast a sondre in ye myddes and all his bowels gusshed oute.
19 Bonse bantu balikwikala mu Yelusalemu balanyumfwa. Kwelana ne mulaka wabo, libala ilyo balalikuweti, “Akeledama.” Akeledama ekwambeti, “Libala lya milopa.”
And it is knowe vnto all the inhabiters of Ierusalem: in so moche that that felde is called in their mother tonge Acheldama that is to saye the bloud felde.
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!
It is written in the boke of Psalmes: His habitacio be voyde and no man be dwellinge therin: and his bisshoprycke let another take.
21 “Pacebo ico, twelela kusalapo umo pa bantu abo mbotwalikuba nabo, pacindi Mwami Yesu mpwalikuba pakati petu
Wherfore of these me which have copanyed with vs all ye tyme that the Lorde Iesus wet in and out amonge 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.”
begynninge at the baptyme of Iohn vnto that same daye that he was taken vp from vs must one be ordeyned to be are witnes with vs of his resurreccion.
23 Neco balasalapo batuloba babili Yosefe Balasaba, lina lyakendi nalimbi ni Yusito, kayi ne Matiya.
And they appoynted two Ioseph called Barsabas (whose syr name was Iustus) and Mathias.
24 Neco, balapaileti, “Nkambo Lesa, njamwe mwishi myoyo ya bantu bonse, kamutuleshani uyo ngomulasalapo pa batuloba babili aba,
And they prayed sayinge: thou Lorde which knowest the hertes of all me shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen
25 kwambeti amante ncito iyi ya butumwa, njalashiya Yudasi, uyo walafwa ne kuya kumusena wamwelela.”
that the one maye take the roume of this ministracion and apostleshippe from the which Iudas by transgression fell that he myght go to his awne place.
26 Panyuma pakendi balabauma nsolo pa batuloba babili aba. Nsolo yalawila Matiya, neco walaba palikoto lya batumwa likumi ne umo.
And they gave forthe their lottes and the lot fell on Mathias and he was counted with the eleven Apostles.
