Acts 1
1 I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
iMbugulu a kali ai nimikilisilye, Theofilo, nizeligitya ihi uYesu nai wandilye kituma nu kumanyisa,
2 until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
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.
3 to whom also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern the kingdom of God;
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.
4 and, being assembled with [them], commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which [said he] ye have heard of me.
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
5 For John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.
kina uYohana ai wogilye nangalu ku mazi, kuiti mikoja ku Ng'wau Ng'welu mu mahiku aya ni masheenyu.”
6 They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?
Hangi nai atula atankana palung'wi ai amukoilye, “Mukulu, iti ili lili itungo nuika asukiilya ia Israeli u utemi?”
7 And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;
uNg'wenso aka atambuila, “Shanga ibahu kitalanyu kulinga itungo ang'wi matungo naiza uTata usigiie ku ukulu nuakwe mukola.”
8 but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
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.”
9 And having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.
uMukulu uYesu nai wakondya kuligitya aya, aze atuile agozee migulya, uNg'wenso ai unyasuwe migulya, ni ilunde likamukunikila aleke kumihenga ku miho ao.
10 And as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,
Matungo nai agozee ki lunde ku ukendegeeli aze ulongoe, kupumpugiilya, antu a biili ai imekile pakati ao atugae ang'wenda elu.
11 who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have beheld him going into heaven.
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.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called [the mount] of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off.
Uugwa akasuka ku Yerusalemu kupuma mu lugulu nula mizeituni, naza lukoli pakupi ni Yerusalemu, lugendo nula luhiku nula kusupya.
13 And when they were come into [the city], they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude [the brother] of James.
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.
14 These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
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.
15 And in those days Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names [who were] together [was] about a hundred and twenty, )
Mu mahiku nanso uPetro ai wimikile pakati a anya ndugu, anga antu 120, akaligitya,
16 Brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus;
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.
17 for he was numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this service.
Ku nsoko nuanso ai watulaa ung'wi itu hangi ai usingiiye ilundo nilakwe nila usukiiligwa mu uwu u uaiilya”
18 (This [man] then indeed got a field with [the] reward of iniquity, and, having fallen down headlong, burst in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
(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.
19 And it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, field of blood.)
Ihi nai ikiie ku Yerusalemu ai igulye kutula ili, uugwa i kipango nikanso kikitangwa ku ntambu ao, “Akeldama” nianso ingi “mugunda nua sakami.”)
20 For it is written in [the] book of Psalms, Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership.
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,'
21 It is necessary therefore, that of the men who have assembled with us all [the] time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
Nilanso ingi ingulu, ku lulo, ung'wi nua itunja naza ukaminkanile nu sese matungo a Mukulu uYesu nai upumile nu kingila mukati itu,
22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which he was taken up from us, one of these should be a witness with us of his resurrection.
kandiilya mu wogogwa wang'wa Yohana ku pikiila u luhiku ulo nai upuilwe migulya, kusinja watule mu kuiili nua ukunukulwa palung'wi nu sese.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who had been surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Akaika ntongeela ao agoha abiili, Yusufu nuitangwaa Barnaba, nai iza witangwaa ga ni Yusto nu Mathia.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, knower of the hearts of all, shew which one of these two thou hast chosen,
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
25 to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place.
kuhola i lyoma mu uaiilya nua itumi, niiza uYuda ai witumile u ubii nu kulongola nkika niakwe.”
26 And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Akakua kula kunsoko ao, ni kula ikamugwila uMathia naiza ai uaigwe palung'wi ni awo i itumi ikumi na ung'wi.
