Nangen Nob Tomange 1
1 Bifumero mi mulanyi kika, Theophilus in tok dikero Yesu ter makau la merange.
In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
2 Na nyime diye cii tumou yaken dii kwama. Wo kambo cine nob tomangeb cebo cidoweu yuwatangbeke.
until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
3 Kambo cinuwa dotangeri yadangu dorcero ciinen, ki yiromtinim dukce wo nyomkace. kume kwini naar ci dangu dorcero ciinene yi cii ker liyar kwamar
After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
4 Kambo ci yi kange cii yeri in yi cii, ciya dobre wursalima dila ciya ningtang nor Teero, woci yiki, “Kom nuwa fiye mi wiyeu”
And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
5 Yiti ki, cwerke man Yahaya yucinen mwembo kin wmom, dila ayukumen mwembo ki yuwa tangbeko wucakke, kume fo kutangbo”.
For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 Kambo cii wariyeri cin meco Kwama ki kwamawo mwa yilauti ki liyar Israila ka?
So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 Yi cii ki, a keno nakume nakom nyimom kan kenekowo kwama yo morbikwan durcereu.
Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
8 Dila kom yo bikwando cano yuwatangbe kwamako bou dor kumerdi, lana nyime kan yilam nob wabebkeb min mor wursalima kange mor yahudiya gwam kange samariya, yaken ciko cwile dor bitinere”.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 Ki kwama wo kwama Yesu tok kero birombem, kambo cito dii kwamatiyeri, dila cii tumco ciin yaken kico dii kwama, biloro yurangum co nuwece.
After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
10 Kambo cii to dikwama ciya kenti yeri, dang jang nubo yob tim kaci ki kulendo fuwor.
They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
11 Kom nabarubbo halili, yebwi kom tirangum fo komto dii kwamatiye? wuro Yesu yaken dii kwama, kambo kom tom yamcembeu dii kwamau ayilaunyo
“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
12 Kambo cii yilau bany Zaitun cii yoten yilau wursalima wuro bidom kange wursalimau, yam kume nukkune ki dimen.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
13 Kambo cii lameri, ciin yabken tiyak fiye cii yimtiyeu. ciin bi Bitrus, Yahaya, Yakubu, Andirawus, Filibus, Tomas Bartholomew, Matta, Yakubu bibwe Alfa Siman Yahuda bibwe Yakubu.
When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
14 Gwam ce ciin mwerkang dorceo win, kambo cii ca kaba ki kwob dilo. Matta, Maryamu wo bo Yesu kange kebcoba cii wari.
With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
15 Ki kume niwo Bitrus kweniti tiber kebceber, nubo kwini kwob toro kwini yob, yi cii.
In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
16 keb mibo nii inwi wo ticiinen kaba ciitam Yesu.
“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
17 Wifo morebe lan yom dike naceu dor dike cimaneu.
He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
18 Niwo tenum bitine ki kemero cifiyau mor nagen bwirantum nerer cero, cin yaru wi kidor fwercero wurom, yeicero coru kale.
(Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
19 Nubo yimwi wursalima nuwam wo lacii cuwo fiyeco kin yicii “Akeldama” (Kiyiki fiye bwiyale).
This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 Wori cii mulange mor bifumer Zaburad Lafiyeceu ayilam kamlo adobeni ayifiyeco kange atum nangen cero.
“For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
21 Nawori tamnyo win mor nubo wo wari kange bo ki kwama Yesu ma doka kange cerka ceko yeu, morebe.
Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Terti ki yuka mu ngek Yahaya yakaken ciko kakukowa cii tumco binenneu yaken dii kwama a yilam, win morebe fiye tokka ker kwenkacek.
beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
23 Ciin dang nubo yob Yusufu woci choti ki Barsabbas, wotak ci cho dendo ki Justus kange Matthias.
So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
24 Ciin kwob dilo ciiki, kwama mo mun yob ner nubere. dan nyinen wo mu coke morece yobewo.
And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
25 Na tu nyi Yahuda fiye yahuda tiyangum meu yaken fiye”
to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
26 Ciin mer dacendo dor ciir, dacendo yardor Matiyas dila ciin kiyeti co mor nob tomangeb Sulombo yobeu.
Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
