Ntendo nia itumi 1
1 iMbugulu a kali ai nimikilisilye, Theofilo, nizeligitya ihi uYesu nai wandilye kituma nu kumanyisa,
The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 kupikiila luhiku naiza uNg'wenso ai usingiigwe migulya. Ili ai lituile ze yakila kupumya ilagiilyo kukiila Ng'wau Ng'welu mu itumi nai watula uaholanilye.
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 Ze yakilaa u lwago nu lakwe, uNg'wenso ai wigeelekile kitalao aze mupanga ga nu ukaminkiilyi widu uku kuiila. Ku mahiku makumi anne ai wigeelekile kitalao, nu kitambuila kutula utemi nuang'wa Itunda.
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 Nai watula ukutankana palung'wi nienso, ai ualagiiye aleke kuhega mu Yerusalemu, kuiti alindiile ku nsoko a wigombya nuang'wa Tata, naiza, ai uligitilye, “Ai migule kupuma kitalane
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 kina uYohana ai wogilye nangalu ku mazi, kuiti mikoja ku Ng'wau Ng'welu mu mahiku aya ni masheenyu.”
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Hangi nai atula atankana palung'wi ai amukoilye, “Mukulu, iti ili lili itungo nuika asukiilya ia Israeli u utemi?”
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
7 uNg'wenso aka atambuila, “Shanga ibahu kitalanyu kulinga itungo ang'wi matungo naiza uTata usigiie ku ukulu nuakwe mukola.”
He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 Kuiti mukusingiilya ingulu, itungo uNg'wau Ng'welu nuikapembya migulya nilanyu, nu nyenye mikatula mia kuiili ane pihi mu Yerusalemu nu uYahudi wihi ni Samaria kupikiila impelo ihi.”
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 uMukulu uYesu nai wakondya kuligitya aya, aze atuile agozee migulya, uNg'wenso ai unyasuwe migulya, ni ilunde likamukunikila aleke kumihenga ku miho ao.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Matungo nai agozee ki lunde ku ukendegeeli aze ulongoe, kupumpugiilya, antu a biili ai imekile pakati ao atugae ang'wenda elu.
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 Akaligitya, “Unyenye antu nia ku Galilaya, ku niki mi mikile apa mugozee kilunde?” Uyu uYesu nu ulumile migulya ki lunde ukusuka ku mpyani yiyo yiiyo anga naza mumihengile ulongoe ki lunde.
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 Uugwa akasuka ku Yerusalemu kupuma mu lugulu nula mizeituni, naza lukoli pakupi ni Yerusalemu, lugendo nula luhiku nula kusupya.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
13 Nai akapika akalongola mu ghorofa naiiza ikiie. Ni enso uPetro, Yohana, Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Batholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo Ng'wana wang'wa Alfayo, Simioni Zelote nu Yuda Ng'wana wang'wa Yakobo.
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 Ihi ai akaminkanile anga muntu ung'wi, ku ukamatiku ai akoli alongolekile mu malompi. Palung'wi ni enso ai akoli asungu, uMariamu nyinya nuang'wa Yesu, ni a heu akwe.
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 Mu mahiku nanso uPetro ai wimikile pakati a anya ndugu, anga antu 120, akaligitya,
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 Anya ndugu, ai yatulaa kusinja kina u ukilisigwa utimiligwe, naza ikali uNg'wau Ng'welu ai uligitilye ki Ilangu nilang'wa Daudi kutulika nu Yuda, naiza ai uaganuie awo nai amuambile uYesu.
“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 Ku nsoko nuanso ai watulaa ung'wi itu hangi ai usingiiye ilundo nilakwe nila usukiiligwa mu uwu u uaiilya”
For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 (Itungili u muntu uyu ai uguile i kipango ku iko nai ukisingiiye ku ubi nuakwe ni pang'wanso ai ugwie aze utongeeye itwe, u muili ukatamuka ni mala akwe ihi akatula ng'walye akahunuka.
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 Ihi nai ikiie ku Yerusalemu ai igulye kutula ili, uugwa i kipango nikanso kikitangwa ku ntambu ao, “Akeldama” nianso ingi “mugunda nua sakami.”)
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 Mu mbugulu a malumbiilyo ikilisigwe, 'Lindiila ikianza kakwe kitule ikumuulu hangi ileke kugombigwa muntu ga nung'wi kikie pang'wanso,' nu 'Lekela muntu mu ngiiza wahole ilyoma nilakwe nila utongeeli,'
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 Nilanso ingi ingulu, ku lulo, ung'wi nua itunja naza ukaminkanile nu sese matungo a Mukulu uYesu nai upumile nu kingila mukati itu,
“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 kandiilya mu wogogwa wang'wa Yohana ku pikiila u luhiku ulo nai upuilwe migulya, kusinja watule mu kuiili nua ukunukulwa palung'wi nu sese.
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 Akaika ntongeela ao agoha abiili, Yusufu nuitangwaa Barnaba, nai iza witangwaa ga ni Yusto nu Mathia.
They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
24 iEnso ai alompile azeligitya, “Uewe, Mukulu, nu lingile i nkolo nia antu ihi, uu ika ng'walyi nu uli kati a awa ni abiili naiza umuholanilye
They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 kuhola i lyoma mu uaiilya nua itumi, niiza uYuda ai witumile u ubii nu kulongola nkika niakwe.”
to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
26 Akakua kula kunsoko ao, ni kula ikamugwila uMathia naiza ai uaigwe palung'wi ni awo i itumi ikumi na ung'wi.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
