So, when they came together, they began to ask him, "Master, are you at this time about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
7 Omwene nabhabhwira, “Itali kwemwe okumenya omwanya ogwo Lata eteleyewo kubhukama bhwaye omwene.”
He answered. "It is not for you to know times and occasions which the Father has fixed in his own authority;

11 Mbaika, “Emwe abhanu bha Galilaya, okubhaki mwimeleguyu anu nimulorera mwinguru?” Unu Yesu oyo agegwa inguru mwiguru kasubha kwa injila iliya iliya lwa kutyo mwamurora nagenda mwiguru.
and they said. "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into the sky will come back in just the same way as you have seen him going into the sky."
12 Nio nibhasubha Yerusalemu okusoka muchima cha mizeituni echo chili ayeyi na Yerusalemu, olugendo rwa insiku ya isabhato.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, about a Sabbath Day’s journey distant.
