Acts 1
1 Dear Theophilus, in my previous book I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
Imbuka inibañoli kale, Tiofiliusi, ibawambi zonse zabatangi kutenda ni kuluta Jesu,
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.
kutwala izuba lyabatambulwa kwiwulu. Ichi chibatendahali hamana kuha itaelo cha Luhuho Lujolola kuba Apositola babaketi.
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.
Kuzwa hakunyanda kwakwe, abalileti iye mwine nahala kubali ni bupaki buzuweka. Mumazuba achita makumi wone abalibonahazi kubali, mi abawambi ziamana ni mubuso we Ireeza.
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.
Habali kulikopanya nabo, ababalaeli kuti kanji bazwi mwa Jerusalema, kono balindile insepiso ye Shetu, cheyo, nati, “Mubazuwi kwangu
5 It's true that John baptized with water, but in just a few days' time you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.”
kuti initi Johani abali kukolobeza ni menzi, kono inwe kamukolobezwe muLuhuho luJolola mumazubazana akezite.”
6 So when the disciples met with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will re-establish Israel's kingdom?”
Munako ibabakungene hamwina babamubuzi, “Simwine, iyi nji nako yeti nolete mubuso kwa Isilaele?”
7 “You don't need to know about the dates and times that are set by the Father's authority,” he told them.
Abawambi kubali, “kahena njikwenu kuti mwizibe inako kapa inkalulo yabatomi Tayo chamaata akwe.
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.”
Kono kamutambule inguzu, munako yaLuhuho Lujolola heti nilwize hehulu lyenu, mi kamube impaki zangu monse mwa Jerusalema ni mwa Judeya ni Samaria, ni kutwala kumamanimani ekanda.”
9 After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
Simwine Jesu hamana kuwamba izi zintu, nibalolete kwilu, abatwalwa kwilu, mi ikope ni lyamuwunguli hamenso abo.
10 While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them.
Habachitutubalile kwiwulu nakaya, hahobulyo, bakwame bobele babazimene hembali ni bazwete zituba.
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.”
Nibati, “Inwe mubakwame ba Galileya, chinzi hamuzimene aha ni mulolete kwiwulu? Uzu Jesu wayenda kwiwulu mwakabole munzila iswana sina mumwamubonena nakaya kwiwulu.”
12 Then the disciples went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives which is about a Sabbath day's walk from Jerusalem.
Kuzwaho nibabola kwa Jerusalema kuzwa kwi Lundu la Olivi, lina hafwihi ni Jerusalema, musipili umana izuba Lesabata.
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.
Habasika, nibatanta mumuzako wina kwiwulu, kubabali kwikala. Ibali nji Pitolosi, Johani, Jacobo, Andriasi, Filipi, Tomasi, Bartolome, Mateu, Jacobo mwana wa Alufeya, ni Simoni Zeloti, ni Juda mwana wa Jacobo.
14 They all joined together in prayer, together with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and his brothers.
Bonse babakopene kuba chintu chimwina, kuzwila habusu kulapela katata. Babena nabo ibali banakazi, Maria nyina Jesu, ni bache bakwe.
15 At this time Peter stood up and addressed a crowd of around one hundred and twenty believers who had gathered together.
Mwawo mazuba Pitolosi abazimi mukati kabanakwabo, balikana bantu basika ha 120, mi nati,
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.
Bakwetu, kuyelele kuti chiñoletwe chizuzilizwe, kutalusa kuti Luhuho Lujolola lubawambi itanzi chakaholo ka Davida kuamana ni Judasi, yabaetelele babakasumini Jesu.
17 He was counted as one of us, and shared in this ministry.”
Mukuti ibali zumwi wetu mi abatambuli inkabelo yakwe yempo yelinu iluko.”
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.
(Linu uzu mukwame abawuli luwa chentifo zabawani chabubilala bwakwe, mi haho natangisa kuwisa mutwi, mi mumili wakwe niwañatuka kwiyaluka, mi zamwibumo lyakwe zonse nizalongotoka.
19 Everybody who lived in Jerusalem heard about this so that the field was called in their language “Akeldama,” which means, “Field of blood.”)
Bonse babalikuhala mwa Jerusalema babazuwi zateni, chobulyo babasumpi ulo luwa muchishobo chabo “Akeldama,” njikuti, “Luwa lwa Malaha.”)
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.”
Mukuti kuñoletwe mumbuka ya Lisamu, 'Musiye luwa lwakwe lube lusinyehete, mi kanji musiyi nanga muntu umwina kuhala mo'; 'Muleke zumwi ahinde chitulo chabuyenzi bwakwe.'
21 “So now we have to choose someone who has been with us the whole time that Jesus was with us,
Chobulyo, kusakahala kuti umwina wa bakwame yabali kuyendanga naswe inako yonse Simwine Jesu habali kuyendanga mukati ketu,
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.”
kukatangila hakolobezwa kwa Johani kuya kwizuba lyabazwiswa kwetu, utameha kuba impaki hamwina naswe kuamana nikubuka kwakwe kubafu.”
23 Two names were put forward: Joseph Justus, also known as Barsabbas, and Matthias.
Babaleti habusu bakwame bobele, Josefa yosumpwa Barsabasi, yabali kusumpwa hape kuti nji Justusi, ni Matias.
24 They prayed together and said, “Lord, you know everyone's thoughts please show us which of these two you have chosen
Babalapeli nibati, “Iwe, Simwine, wizi inkulo zabantu bonse, chobulyo wizibahaze kuti njeni mukati kaba bobele yobaketi.
25 to replace Judas as an apostle in this ministry that he gave up to go to where he belongs.”
kuhinda chibaka mweli ikolo ni buapositola waba choli Judasi kuya kuchibaka chakwe,”
26 They cast lots, and Matthias was chosen. He was counted as an apostle with the other eleven.
Babalauli; mi idaula zibawili ha Mateu mi ababikwa hepalo yamuapostola wekumi ni wumwina.
