Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 1
1 Echitabho cha kara nachandikile, ninaika gona ganu Yesu ambile okukora no kwiigisha,
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 okukinga olunaku olwo omwene okulamilwa ingulu. Gunu gwakolekene amalile okososha echilagilo okusoka ku Mwoyo Mwelu okuja Kuntumwa jinu asolele.
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 Ejire amara okunyasibhwa kwaye, omwene abhonekene kubhene ali muanga ne bhibharikisho bhyanfu nibhyolesha kutyo. Ku naku makumi gana eyolesishe ku bhene, na alomele ingulu yo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.
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 Bhuli akabhugangana amwi nabho, nabhakomeresha bhatasokao Yerusalemu, nawe bhalinde iahadi ya Latabhugenyi, eyo, aikile, “Mwonguwe okusoka kwanye
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 okubha Yohana abhatijaga chimwi kwa manji, nawe omubhatijibhwa kwo Mwoyo Omweru munaku jitali nyafu.”
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6 Mbe bhejire bhekofyanya amwi mbamubhusha, “Lata, gunu nigwo omwanya ogwokubhasubhisha Israeli obhukama?”
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 Omwene nabhabhwira, “Itali kwemwe okumenya omwanya ogwo Lata eteleyewo kubhukama bhwaye omwene.”
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 Nawe omulamila amanaga, akatungu ako Omwoyo Omweru kaja ingulu yemwe, nemwe omubha bhabhambasi bhani wona mu Yerusalemu na Bhuyaudi yona na Samaria no bhutelo bhwe chalo.”
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 Omukama Yesu ejile amara okwaika ganu, mbaroraga inguru, Omwene nagegibhwa inguru, elire ndimufundikila mbasingwa omurora kwa meso gebhwe.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 Omwanya nibharora mwiguru nekeneke nagenda, mbe, abhanu bhabhili mbemeleguru agati yebhwe bhafwaye jingubho jinyeru.
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
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.
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 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, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 Bhejire bhakinga mbagenda mwigorofa eyo yaga bhekaye. Nabho ni Petro, Yohana, Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Batholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo Omwana wa Alfayo, Simoni Zelote na Yuda Omwana 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 Bhona nibhagwatana amwi lwa munu umwi, kwo kwikomesha nibhagenderera mwisabhwa. Amwi nabho bhaliga bhaliwo abhagasi, Mariamu Nyiramwene Yesu, na bhamura bhaye.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Mu nsiku ejo Petro nemereguru agati ya bhaili, kuti bhanu 120, naika,
In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 Bhaili, yaliga kwiire ati amaandiko gakumire, ao kara Omwoyo Omweru aikile kwo munwa gwa Daudi inguru ya Yuda, oyo abheresishe abho bhamugwatire Yesu.
"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 Kwo kubha omwene ali umwi weswe na aramie orubhara lwaye lwa ifaida ku bhukosi bhunu.
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 (Mbe oli omunu unu agurire libhara kwicho aramie kwa mabhibhi gaye nao aguye atangasishe omutwe, omubhili ngwatika no bhura bhwaye bhwona mbubha abhweru mbwitika.
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 Bhona abho bhekaye Yerusalemu bhonguwe linu, kutyo orubhara orwo mbarubhilikila kwa inyaika yebhwe “Akeldama” eryo ni nsambu ya manyinga.”)
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
20 Mu chitabho cha Zaburi yandikirwe, 'Siga orubhara lwaye lubhe erugu na itekirisibhwa norwo umwi okwikara aliya;' na, 'Ikirisha omunu undi agege orubhara lwaye rwo bhutangasha.'
For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
21 Eyo ni ya insonga, kutyo, umwi wa bharume abho bharubhishene neswe akatungu ako Omukama Yesu asokere no kwingira amwi neswe,
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 okwambira ku bhubhatija bhwa Yohana okukingira ku lusiku orwo agegerwe inguru, kwiire abhe mubhambasj wo bhusuruko amwi neswe.
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 “Mbatura imbele bharume bhabhili, Yusufu oyo atogwaga Barnaba, oyo ona abhilikirwagwa Yusto na Mathia.
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Abhene mbasabhwa mbaika ati, “Awe, Omukama, umenyere emitima ja abhanu bhona, kutyo tura abhweru ni uya ku bhaili bhanu oyo usorere
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 okugega olubhara mu bhukosi no bhutumwa, ao Yuda obhunyamuke no kugenda kurubhara rwaye.”
to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
26 Mbabhuma jikura kwo lubhara rwebhwe, na ikura nimugwira Mathia oyo abharirwe amwi na bhaliya jintumwa ekumi na umwi.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
