Matendo 1:4-26

⁴Panavenkulya navo nkuvalaija kuchidoni, “Munauke pa Yelusalemu, ikalanga upano muilindilile aila ahadi yaahidite Nnungu Atata, imunangupilikene nangu ungulonjelela.

⁵Kwa kuva, Yohana ávabatisije vanu kwa medi, henga mwenu mùmbebatiswa kwa Umumu Wanaswe mmaduva kadiki laîda.”

⁶Bahi mitume pavakojene pamo na Yesu, nkummuja kuchidoni, “Nang'olo, dachi auno njo uhiku úmbevauhìjà Vaisilaeli ufalume wavo?”

⁷Anepo Yesu nkuvayang'ula kuchidoni, “Aneyo ikee kasi yenu kumala mahiku na maduva lalatandwele Atata kwa mamulaka lake mwene.

⁸Henga mùmbepwechela dimongo, pambennyidila Umumu Wanaswe, na mwenu mùmbekuva mmashahidi vangu kutandikila apano pa Yelusalemu na chilambo chammalele cha Yudeya pamo na Samaliya, mpaka mmilambo vyammalele vya pachilambo.”

⁹Pamalidile kutangola anelo, Nnungu nkuntwala Yesu kuhwena kulihunde, na pavachihweneha kunnola, nkutitimila mmahunde.

¹⁰Pavanavele nkupalambahija meho kumahunde akuno Yesu avenkuhwènà, gafula nkuhumila malaika va Nnungu vavili vavêle muchi valume, vawête dinguwo dyanahe, nkuimila pamo na vanang'o,

¹¹nkuchidoni, “Amanganya mmanu mma pa Galilaya, mwadachi mùniimila umulola kumahunde? Ayu Yesu atwaliwîje kwenu mwenu kuhwena kulihunde, àmbeida kavila malinga chimummwene wahwena kulihunde.”

¹²Anepo mitume nkuuya ku Yelusalemu kuhaloka ya kulichinga lichêmwa Lichinga lya Miseituni livêle pepi na pa Yelusalemu, malinga ulehu uluhusiwîje kwonga Nniduva lya Kuyewelela.

¹³Pavahwikile kumanga, nkukwela n'galofa, nkunaingila nchumba chivachiikala. Vanu vánavele anepo nni Petulo na Yohana na Yakobo na Anduleya na Filipo na Tomaso na Batolomayo na Matayo na Yakobo mwana wanga Alufayo na Simoni ánavele nnikuwa lya Vaselote, pamo na Yuda mwana wanga Yakobo.

¹⁴Vanu anevo vammalele chalumo na anyokwe Yesu na anung'unuvake Yesu vachilume pamo na vakongwe vanji vánakojana pamo uvannyuwa Nnungu kwa ntima umo.

¹⁵Mmaduva anelo, liduva limo Petulo nkuimila ching'ati pa avake vankulupîla Yesu, vánavele malinga myamoja na ishilini, Petulo nkuchidoni,

¹⁶“Mmalangavangu, ìnilembelewa Malemba Lanaswe latimile, àlalá lanalaujije Umumu Wanaswe kala kupitila malove lanatangwele Daudi, kuyamba habali dyanga Yuda, anavalodyije vanu vanankamwile Yesu.

¹⁷Yuda ávele nnikuwa lyetu, na ánitandolwa uchinga akole madengo pamo na hwetu.”

¹⁸Dihela dyanapwecheledile Yuda kwa kutenda lahakalenge la kuntengeleka Yesu, vanu vanji nkunasumila luhundu. Pachinu anepo nni panalipambilidile Yuda muha, pakandike nkumatoka pahi nkutumbukana, utumbo wake nkuhuma pawelu.

¹⁹Vanu vammalele va pa Yelusalemu nkupilikana habali dya kuhwa kwanga Yuda. Bahi apala pachinu nkupachema, Akelidama, mana lake, “Luhundu lwa myadi.”

²⁰Petulo nkuhweneha kutangola wachidoni, “Kwa kuva, ìnilembwa nchitabu cha Sabuli kuva, ‘Nafasi yake ììve uchiva, Wala anapawe munu wa kuikala nafasi yake.’ Ìnilembwa kavila kuva, ‘Munu yunji akole madengo lachikola nang'e.’

²¹Bahi tùlembelewa tuntandole munu yumo muavala vachipapatana na hwetu mahiku lammalele latuchionga na Nang'olo Yesu.

²²Munu aneyo àlembelewa ààve munu anapawije kutandikila liduva alila Yohana lyam'batisije Yesu mpaka liduva lyatwaliwije Nang'olo Yesu kuhwena kulihunde. Ìlembelewa munu yumo muanevo ààve shahidi pamo na hwetu wa kufufuka kwanga Yesu.”

²³Bahi nkutambulanga malina la vanu vavili, Yusufu uvanchema Balisaba, lina linji vánchema Yusto, na yunji wavili lina lyake Matiya.

²⁴Anepo nkuyuwa uvachidoni, “Nang'olo, wako ùnimala mitima ya vanu vammalele. Tulanguje muavano vanu vavili, alida untandwele,

²⁵uchinga akole madengo la chitume lalalekile Yuda nkuhwena pachinu palembelewa.”

²⁶Anepo nkuyela indingi, indingi nkummatokela Matiya, nang'e nkuyenjejwa nnikuwa lya mitume kumi na moja.
