1 A Teofilusa, mu mukanda umbajinji nalembele’mo myanda ya bintu byonso byashilwile Yesu kulonga ne kufundija+
2 kufika ne difuku dyaatekwinwe mūlu,+ pa kupwa kupa batumibwa baatongele bulombodi kupityila ku mushipiditu ujila.+
3 Pa kupwa kususuka, welombwele mūmi kobadi na bukamoni buvule bumweke.+ Nabo bamumwene mu mafuku 40 matuntulu, kadi nandi wadi wibasapwila myanda ya Bulopwe bwa Leza.+
4 Paadi ubungakene nabo webasoñanya’mba: “Kemwakitalukai mu Yelusalema,+ ino ilaijai’nka kwilaija kyokya kyemulaile Tata,+ kyomwaivwene kondi;
5 mwanda Yoano, shako, wadi ubatyija na mema, ino kepakapitepo mafuku mangi, banwe mukabatyijibwa na mushipiditu ujila.”+
6 Pobadi bebungile pamo, bamwipangwile amba: “A Mfumwetu, le koaluja bulopwe ku Isalela kino kitatyi?”+
7 Nandi webanena’mba: “Ke kyenupo kya kuyuka bitatyi nansha byaba bitūdile Tata mu buludiki bwandi* aye mwine.+
8 Ino mukatambula bukomo pakāya mushipiditu ujila pomudi,+ kadi mukekala bami batumoni+ mu Yelusalema,+ mu Yudea ne mu Samadia+ monso, ne kulakula kwine kwa* ntanda.+
9 Paapwile kunena bino bintu, abo bakimutala, watekwinwa mūlu ne dikumbi dyamufya, nabo kebakimumwene.+
10 Kadi pobadi bakibambīle meso mūlu aye papo wenda, abo amba batale bana-balume babidi bavwele bivwalwa bitōka tō+ bemene pamo nabo
11 kebanena’mba: “A bana-balume ba mu Ngadilea, i bika byomwimanine mutala mūlu sō? Uno Yesu wemutekwinwa mūlu ukāyanga muswelo umo enka momwamumwena wenda mūlu.”
12 Penepo bajokela ku Yelusalema+ kutamba ku lūlu lwitwa bu Lūlu lwa Impafu, ludi kubwipi na Yelusalema, pantu’tu pendwa dya Sabato.
13 Pobafikile, bakanda mu kyumba kya peulu mobadi bashikatanga. Mwine’mwa mwadi Petelo pamo ne Yoano ne Yakoba ne Andele, Fidipa ne Tomase, Balatelemi ne Mateo, Yakoba mwanā Afesa, ne Shimona mupyasakane, ne Yudasa mwanā Yakoba.+
14 Abo bonso badi batakamene mu milombelo na kitungo kimo, pamo na bana-bakaji+ bamo ne Madia inandya Yesu ne banababo.+
15 Mu mene mafuku’a Petelo waimana umbukata mwa banabetu (bungi bwa* bantu bonso pamo badi kintu kya 120) kanena’mba:
16 “A bana-balume, banabetu, kyadi kyendele’mo kisonekwa kifikidile, kyokya kyānenene mushipiditu ujila mu bupolofeto kupityila kudi Davida pa mwanda wa Yudasa,+ yewa waikele kalombwe ka boba bakwete Yesu.+
17 Mwanda wabadilwe umbukata mwetu+ kadi waingile pamo netu uno mwingilo.
18 (Mwine uno muntu’u, wapotele budimi na mpalo ya bukondame,+ kadi pa kupona kya mutwe munshi, ngitu yandi yasabika* kadi bya munda byandi byasukumukila panja.+
19 Kino kyayukana mu bekadi bonso ba mu Yelusalema, o mwanda budimi’bwa bwaityilwe mu ludimi lwabo bu Akedama, ko kunena’mba, “Budimi bwa Mashi.”)
20 Mwanda kilembelwe mu mukanda wa Ñimbo ya Mitōto amba, ‘Kīkalo kyandi kikale masala, kemwakekala mwikadi nansha umo’+ kadi amba, ‘Mwingilo wandi wa butadi uselwe na ungi.’+
21 Nanshi i kyendele’mo amba mu bana-balume badi benda netu pamo kitatyi kyonso kyadi Mfumwetu Yesu wingila mingilo yandi* mu bukata mwetu,
22 tamba paabatyijibwe na Yoano+ kufika ne difuku dyaetutekwinwe,+ umo wa mu bano bana-balume ufwaninwe kwikala kamoni wamwene pamo netu lusangukilo lwandi.”+
23 Penepo baleta bantu babidi, Yosefa witwa bu Basabasa, witwa dikwabo bu Yusutusa, ne Matyiasa.
24 Ebiya balombela kebanena’mba: “Ee, a Yehova,* abe uyukile mityima ya bonso,+ lombola i ani owatonga pa bano bana-balume babidi
25 wa kupingakena pa uno mwingilo ne butumibwa bwasāsukile Yudasa kaenda ku kifuko kyandi.”+
26 Penepa bata bubale pa mwanda wabo,+ bwakwata Matyiasa, ebiya wabadilwa* pamo na batumibwa 11.
