Acts 1
1 Dear Theophilus, in my previous book I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
Eshitabu shila eshikulu nasimbile, Theofilo, nahayanjile zyonti zyahandile uYesu abhombe na manyizye,
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven. This was after he'd given instructions through the Holy Spirit to his chosen apostles.
mpaka isiku uYesu lyahejelewe humwanya. Eli lyabhombeshe uYesu nawafumya eamri ashilile hwa Umpepo Ufinjile hwa atumwe bhakwe bhabhasaluye.
3 Over the course of forty days after the death he suffered, he showed himself to them, proving that he was alive with convincing evidence. He appeared to them, and told them about the kingdom of God.
Baada ye mayemba agateswe, abhoneshe ali mwomi ne mbonesyo nyingi zyazyabhoneshe. Hunsiku amalongo gane ahwibhonesezye hwa bhantu bhakwe nayanje ezyeumwe zya Ngulubhi.
4 While he was still with them he instructed them, “Do not leave Jerusalem. Wait to receive what the Father promised, just as you heard it from me.
Na patangene nabho abhalajizizye aje bhasahasogole mu Yelusalemu, lelo bhagule edagano zyayanjile, “Zyamwahumvwaga neyanga afume huline
5 It's true that John baptized with water, but in just a few days' time you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.”
aje uYohana abhozya naminzi lelo ane embabhozye nu Mpepo Ufinjile nkazyashila ensiku zishe.”
6 So when the disciples met with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will re-establish Israel's kingdom?”
Nabhakhomene pandwimo bhahabhuzya, “Aje eshi jibha lwubhabhagomoshezye oumwene a Izraeli?”
7 “You don't need to know about the dates and times that are set by the Father's authority,” he told them.
Umwene ahaga se shinza hulimwe amanye ezyahwibhesheye umwene Ungulubhi.”
8 “But you will be given power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest places on earth.”
Lelo mubhaposhe ikhone nawinza hulimwe Umpepo Ufinjile, namwe mwaibha bhaketi bhane, mu Yelusalemu, mu Uyahudi mu Samaria, na humalishilo uwensi.”
9 After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
Nawayanga ezyo uYesu wabhuha wanyamulwa humwanya nabhamwenya, ibhengo lyakwinshila watega sebhalola na maso gabho.
10 While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them.
Nulwabhahwenya humwanya kwa makini akienda, ghafula, abhantu bhabhili bhemelela pahati yabho bhakwite amenda amazelu.
11 “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky?” they asked. “This same Jesus who has been taken up from you to heaven shall come in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”
Bhaga, “Mwe bhantu bha hu Galilaya, yenu mwimeleye epa?” Muhwenya abhala humwanya? Unu uYesu yamuhulola abhala humwanya ahwenza shesho sha muhulola abhala.
12 Then the disciples went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives which is about a Sabbath day's walk from Jerusalem.
Nabhanvwa isho bhaela afume hwigamba lye mizeituni, abhale hu Yerusalemu humwendo wa Sabato.
13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the upper room where they were staying: Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Nabhafiha bhahabhala hwigulu amatawa gabho bhabhebha. Petro, Yohana, Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Batholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo Omwana wa Alfayo, Simoni Zelote nu Yuda Umwana wa Yakobo.
14 They all joined together in prayer, together with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and his brothers.
Bonti ebho bhabhungene neshi umuntu umo, bhahendelela ne mputo. Bhali na abhashe, uMariamu unyina wa Yesu, nailumbu bhakwe.
15 At this time Peter stood up and addressed a crowd of around one hundred and twenty believers who had gathered together.
Ensiku zila uPetro ahimilie pahati pa holo bhala bhahali abhantu 120, ahaga,
16 “My brothers and sisters,” he said, “The Scriptures, spoken by the Holy Spirit through David, had to be fulfilled regarding Judas, who guided those who arrested Jesus.
Mwe bhantu ehali huje enongwa zya Ngulubhi zitimile, zyayanjile Umpepo Ufinjile hwilomu lya Daudi zyazyayanjile uYuda, yabhalongole bhaala bhabhakete uYesu.
17 He was counted as one of us, and shared in this ministry.”
Umwene ali pamo nate aposhile ifungu lyakwe elye faida humbombo ene.”
18 (Judas had bought a field with his ill-gotten gains. There he fell down headfirst, and his body burst apart, spilling out all his intestines.
(Neshi umuntu unu akalile ugunda huhela ila eye mbibhi zyakwe nepo ahagwiye abazuhu ivyanda na maula gahafuma na hwitishe.
19 Everybody who lived in Jerusalem heard about this so that the field was called in their language “Akeldama,” which means, “Field of blood.”)
Bhonti bhabhakhalaga hu Yerusalemu bhuhumvwizye na ieneo elyo hahalyeta itawa hunjango yabho “Akeldama” ugwo “gunda gwi danda.”)
20 As it's written in the book of Psalms, “Let his home be abandoned, and no-one live there;” and “Let someone else take over his position.”
“Mushitabu eshe Zaburi shijile, 'Ambe ugunda gwakwe gubhe lisami asahakhale umuntu nkumo;' tikunde, 'Umuntu uwinje ayeje enafasi yakwe eyelongozi.'
21 “So now we have to choose someone who has been with us the whole time that Jesus was with us,
Elyo lye muhimu aje ulume umoyajendaga pandwimo nate lula uYesu nalihulite nahinjilaga nafume,
22 from the time John was baptizing up until the day Jesus was taken up to heaven from us. One of these must be chosen to join together with us as we witness, giving evidence of Jesus' resurrection.”
ahwande lila uYohana na hozyaga abhantu mpaka isiku lila uYesu nahabhushile abhale humwanya, lazima abhe keti we luzyuho pandwimo nate.
23 Two names were put forward: Joseph Justus, also known as Barsabbas, and Matthias.
“Bhabhala hwitagalila alume bhabhili, uYusufu yahetelwe Barnaba, itawa elya mwabho ali yu Yusto, nu Mathiya.
24 They prayed together and said, “Lord, you know everyone's thoughts please show us which of these two you have chosen
Abene bhalabha bhaga, “Awe, Ngolobhe umenye amoyo gabhantu bhonti tilaaba abhantu yusaluye
25 to replace Judas as an apostle in this ministry that he gave up to go to where he belongs.”
ahweje enafasi ya Yuda yabhombile embibhi nasogole hulite.”
26 They cast lots, and Matthias was chosen. He was counted as an apostle with the other eleven.
Bhakhoma ekula ekula yagwila uMathiya yabhehwelwe pandwemo na bhaala atumwe ilongo nu weka.
