1Mkulu Teofili kuli chitabu cha heni cha mwaluko nanyandika mbuli zila Yesu zoyaditile na kulangusa kulawila mwaluko wa mijito ja heye,
2mbaka zuwa lila loyaholigwe kilanga. Hala naloyang'hali kuholigwa kilanga nakawalajiza kwa ludali lwa Muhe Yelile wala watumigwa yawahagule.
3Kwa mhela wa mazuwa makumi gane hala hoyabagame nayali yowalawila lawila na kilajila kota nayali mkomu. Nawamona, na heye nakalonga gala ga Undewa wa Nguluwi.
4Mhela loyeting'hane hamwe na hewo nakawalonjela ahi, “Mleche kuka Yelusalemu, ila mbeteze ilagano lyoyawalonjele Mhaza, ila yomina namhuliche ndilonga.
5Yohani nakabatiza kwa mazi, logokuya mazuwa mado, hemwe mobatizigwa kwa Muhe Yelile.”
6Ahyo watumigwa loweting'hane hamwe na Yesu, nawamuuza, “Lelo Mkulu mhela awu ndo houwahilusila Waisilaeli undewa wa hewo?”
7Ila Yesu nakawalonjela, “Mhela na mbuli azo vya hasi ha ludali lwa Mhaza wa heni, kahi hambe iwalape hemwe kuvizela yowa nili.
8Ila mhela Muhe Yelile loyowadulichilani, mobochela mong'ho na mowa walolezi wa heni kuli Yelusalemu na kuli mkowa wa Yudeya na Samaliya, mbaka kuduma kwa isi yeng'ha.”
9Loyalonjile ago, weng'ha wawele womlola, kaholigwa kilanga, ng'hungugu imvisa hawamuwene kahi.
10Lowali wang'hali wolola kilanga, yawele yoluta, baho wanhu weli wawele wavalile nguwo nzelu pee, wema behi na hewo,
11nawalonga, “Hemwe wanhu wa Galilaya, yandaze mwimile mlola kilanga? Yesu ayu yaholigwe kulawa kwa hemwe kuluta kilanga, kokuya kahi kota hiho vyomumuwene yoluta kilanga.”
12Hamba watumigwa wahiluka Yelusalemu kulawa kuli chila chidunda chilinguchemigwa chidunda cha Mizeituni, chiwele kilomita imwe kulawa mujini.
13Lowafichile mujini nawenjila mli chihengo chiwele kuchanya mula mowali wochikala, na hewo wali Petili na Yohani na Yakubu na Andeleya na Filipo na Tomasi na Batolomeo na Matei na Yakubu mwana wa Alufayo na Simoni Zelote na Yudasi mwana wa Yakubu.
14Awa weng'ha nawekungajiza hamwe kumlanda Nguluwi, hamwe na wadala wamwenga na Maliya mayake Yesu na wang'holoze.
15Zuwa limwe, Petili nakema hali wala wanhu wawele womkunda wala wali wekungajize, hamwe wanhu weng'ha wali miya imwe na makumi meli,
16nakalonga, “Wang'holozangu, nayali ilapa honhu ha Maandiko Matakatifu gakoleche, honhu hala Muhe Yelile, kwa ulonzi wa Daudi, nakolonga mbuli za Yudasi yula yawalongoze kuza kumibata Yesu.
17Yudasi nayali yumwe wa chilundo cha hetwe, mina nakahaguligwa tuwe hamwe mli mijito ya hetwe.”
18Heye nakagula mgunda kwa zila sendi zoyazipalile kwa madito ga heye gehile, nakagwa hasi nakutulika lida, utumbu wa heye ubohoka kunze.
19Wanhu weng'ha walingikala Yelusalemu nawahulika mbuli ayo ikoleche, na ahyo kwa ulonzi wa hewo, wauchema ula mgunda Hakeli Dama, Izeleche, “Mgunda wa danda,”
20“Lelo yandichigwa muli chitabu cha zabuli, “ ‘Mng'handa mwa heye mopona mahame, munhu yoneche yaleche kikala mgati amo.’ Kahi yandichigwa, “ ‘Munhu yunji yahole mijito ya heye.’
21Lelo munhu yumwe mli wala welongoze na hetwe mhela weng'ha Mkulu Yesu loyali yokwinula majendo hamwe na hetwe, yahaguligwe kilumba na hetwe.
22Ahyo kangulapigwa yawe yumwe wa wala welongoze na hetwe kulawila Yohani loyali yobatiza mbaka zuwa lila Yesu loyaholigwe kulawa kwa hetwe kuluta kilanga. Ayo kochilumba hamwe na hetwe kukola na kulavya ulolezi wa uzilipuko wa Yesu.”
23Aho nawachema matagwa ga wanhu weli, wa mwaluko Yusufu yachemigwe Balisaba ama kahi Yusto na wakeli Matiya.
24Hamba nawamlanda Nguluwi, “Mkulu hegwe kwanguzizela nhumbula za wanhu weng'ha. Ahyo, utulajilile hali awa weli yalikohi youmhagule,
25leka yahole honhu hano ha mijito ja uchitumagwa woyalechile Yudasi nakaluta honhu hake yuye.”
26Nawatowa simbi, simbi imgwila Matiya, na heye konjezwa mli wala watumigwa wanji kumi na yumwe.
