Matendo ga Mitume 1
1 Kitabu cha kwaembo nikiandikie, Thefili, kanibaya goti Yesu atumbwi kugapanga na pundisha,
My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,
2 mpaka lisoba ambayo ywembe atipokelewa kunani. Ayee yabile payapitike amri pitya kwa Roho mtakatifu kwa mitume bayomwile kuwachawaa.
after giving instruction through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom He had chosen, He was taken up to Heaven.
3 Baada ya teswa kwake, Jwembe abonekine panga aikoti nathibitika kwanansima kaishuhudia. Kwa masoba arobaini abonekine kasabe na alongela likowe lya Nnongo.
He had also, after He suffered, shown Himself alive to them with many sure proofs, appearing to them at intervals during forty days, and speaking of the Kingdom of God.
4 Napabakwembine nabo pamope nabo, abakiye kana babuke Yerusalemu, ila balende kwa ajili ya ahadi ya Tate, bembe, batibaya, “Mwayowine boka kwango
And while in their company He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father's promised gift. "This you have heard of," He said, "from me.
5 panga Yohana alibatiza kabisa kwa mase, lakini ywabatizwa kwa Roho Mtakatifu katika masoba aga machunu.”
For John indeed baptized with water, but before many days have passed you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
6 Napabakwembine pamope batikwinaluya, “Ngwana muda go ngawa kelebukeya Israel ufalme?”
Once when they were with Him, they asked Him, "Master, is this the time at which you are about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
7 Jwembe atikwabakia, lyengo lino mwangali tanga majira ambayo Tate atikusudia kwa mamlaka gake mwene.”
"It is not for you," He replied, "to know times or epochs which the Father has reserved within His own authority;
8 Lakini mwapokya ngupu, wakati walowa icha Roho Mtakatifu kunani yinu na mwenga mwalowa panga masaidi bango mwabote mu'Yerusalemu na Uyahudi yoti na Samalia mpaka mwiso wa nchi.”
and yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and to the remotest parts of the earth."
9 Ngwana Yesu payomwile longela goo, pababile kabalolekeya kunani, ywembe apotwilile nnani, na liunde lyatikumwekelya bamweni likae kwa minyo gabe.
When He had said this, and while they were looking at Him, He was carried up, and a cloud closing beneath Him hid Him from their sight.
10 Wakati kabalolekeya kunani kayenda gapula, Bandu abele bayemi pakatikati yabe baweti mangobo mauu.
But, while they stood intently gazing into the sky as He went, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,
11 Batibaya, “Mwenga mwabandu ba Galilaya, mwanja namani muyema pa kumlolekeya kumaunde?” Ayoo Yesu ywangulwike kunani, alowa buyangana nyonyo kati mwamumweni kayenda kunani.
who said, "Galilaeans, why stand looking into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into Heaven will come in just the same way as you have seen Him going into Heaven."
12 Ngababuyangana Yerusalemu boka pa kitombe sa Mizeituni, ambao ubile papipi ni Yerusalemu, mwendo wa lisoba lya Sabato.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Oliveyard, which is near Jerusalem, about a mile off.
13 Pabaikite bayei mughorofa mwabatamage. Na bembe ni Petro, Yohana, Yakobo, Andrea, Filipo, Thomaso, Batholomayo, Mathayo, Yakobo mwana wa Alfayo, Simoni Zelote na Yuda mwana wa Yakobo.
They entered the city, and they went up to the upper room which was now their fixed place for meeting. Their names were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
14 Boti babile mpamo kati mundu yumo, kwa juhudi babile batiyendelya katika maombi pamope na ago babile anwawa, Mariamu mao gake Yesu, na anja bake.
All of these with one mind continued earnest in prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.
15 Katika masoba ago Petro ayemi katikati ya alongo, kati bandu 120, abaya,
It was on one of these days that Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren--the entire number of persons present being about 120--and said,
16 Alongo, ibile lazima panga maandiko gatimizwe, ambapo zamani Roho Mtakatifu abaya kwa nkanwa wa Daudi husiana na Yuda, ambaye abaelekeza balo bankamwile Yesu.
"Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled--the prediction, I mean, which the Holy Spirit uttered by the lips of David, about Judas, who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17 Mana ywembe abile yumo witu na apeyilwe lifungu lyake na faida ya ayee huduma.”
For Judas was reckoned as one of our number, and a share in this ministry was allotted to him."
18 (Nambeambe yoo apemite lieneo kichelo chapeyilwe kwa ubaya wake atitumbuka alongwiye ntwee, yega yatipapwanika matumbu panja gatipekanika.
(Now having bought a piece of ground with the money paid for his wickedness he fell there with his face downwards, and, his body bursting open, he became disembowelled.
19 Bote babatamaye Yerusalemu bayowine kuhusu likowe lee, na lieneo lyoo balikemite kwa lugha yabe “Akeldama” ango ni “ngunda wa myai.”)
This fact became widely known to the people of Jerusalem, so that the place received the name, in their language, of Achel-damach, which means 'The Field of Blood.')
20 “Mu kitabu sa Zaburi iandikilwe,” Lenda lenda lieneo lyake ube hame na kana iruhusiwe hata yumo tama palo,'na 'Ruhusa mundu ywenge aitole nafasi ya utawala.'
"For it is written in the Book of Psalms, "'Let his encampment be desolate: let there be no one to dwell there'; and "'His work let another take up.'
21 Ayoo nga muhimu, kwa eyo, yumo wa alalome ambao batiambatana natwenga wakati Ngwana Yesu aboi na kujingya kati yitu,
"It is necessary, therefore, that of the men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us--
22 tumbwile mu'ubatizo wa Yohana mpaka lisoba lelo lyapotwilwe kunani, lazima abe shahidi ba ufunuo pamope ni twenga.
beginning from His baptism by John down to the day on which He was taken up again from us into Heaven--one should be appointed to become a witness with us as to His resurrection."
23 “Babekite nnongi yabe analome abele, Yusufu ywakemelwa Barnaba, ambae ywakemelwa Yusto na Mathia.
So two names were proposed, Joseph called Bar-sabbas--and surnamed Justus--and Matthias.
24 Bembe balobite kababaya, “Wenga, Ngwana, uitangite mioyo ya bandu bote, nga nyoo beka mbolika ywaako kati ya abele aba abachawile
And the brethren prayed, saying, "Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show clearly which of these two Thou hast chosen
25 kuitola nafasi katika huduma na utume, ambayo Yuda apangite ubou na yendya mahali pake.”
to occupy the place in this ministry and Apostleship from which Judas through transgression fell, in order to go to his own place."
26 Bapigite kura kwa ajili yabe, na kura yatimwangukia Mathia ywabile atibalangilwa pamope na balo mitume komi na jimo.
Then they drew lots between them. The lot fell on Matthias, and a place among the eleven Apostles was voted to him.
