1 Kwa Mkulu Teofili. Mna ikitabu changu kinisongile kwandika, nyandika gose gayatendile Yesu na kufundiza kulawa mna ikipindi kiyasongile kusang'hana,
2 mbaka mna disiku diyagaligwe kuulanga. Viyakalile yang'hali hanagaligwa uchanha, kawagwaa malagizo kwa udahi wa Loho Yang'alile wanhu awo yawasagule wawe watumigwa zake.
3 Mna ikipindi cha siku malongo mane toka ifa yake, Yesu kakala yowalawilila watumigwa zake miyanza mingi muladi kulagusa kakala mgima. Wamona, nayo kalonga nao mbuli za Undewa wa Mulungu.
4 Mna ikipindi kimoja viyakalile koja nao, kawalagiza, “Sekemulawe kudibuga da Yelusalemu, lakini mbeteleni Loho Yang'alile yeli nhunza iyawalongele Tatangu.
5 Yohana kawabatiza kwa mazi, lakini mna ikipindi kidodo kumwande mobatizigwa kwa Loho Yang'alile.”
6 Watumigwa viwaiting'hane hamoja na Yesu, wamuuza, “Mndewa, vino kipindi kino acho chonda uwabwezele wanhu wa Izilaeli undewa?”
7 Yesu kawedika, “Kipindi na siku azo va mmakono ga Tatangu. Mweye siyo sang'hano yenu kujuwa lini vondaiwe.
8 Lakini Loho Yang'alile vondayawezile, mobokela nguvu, na mowapetela wanhu mbuli zangu zimone, mowapetela kudibuga da Yelusalemu na mziisi zose za Yudea na Samalia, na kuuhelelo wa isi.”
9 Viyamambukize kulonga vivo, kagaligwa uchanha kuulanga kuno womulola. Abaho ulanga umfisa, hawamone kabili.
10 Viwakalile wang'hali wolola bunhuu kuulanga Yesu viyakalile kochola, bahaja wanhu wabili wavalile viwalo vizelu chuwee wema habehi nao.
11 Walonga, “Mweye wanhu wa Galilaya, habali mwima aho na kulola uchanha kuulanga? Yesu iino yagaligwe uchanha kuulanga kulawa kumwenu, kobwela kabili kamba vivo vimmona kochola kuulanga.”
12 Abaho watumigwa wabwela Yelusalemu kulawa kuna Ulugongo lwa Mizeituni, lukalile utali wa kilometa imoja kulawa buga dija.
