< Nangen Nob Tomange 1 >

1 Bifumero mi mulanyi kika, Theophilus in tok dikero Yesu ter makau la merange.
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both 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 in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom 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
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
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”
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 Yiti ki, cwerke man Yahaya yucinen mwembo kin wmom, dila ayukumen mwembo ki yuwa tangbeko wucakke, kume fo kutangbo”.
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6 Kambo cii wariyeri cin meco Kwama ki kwamawo mwa yilauti ki liyar Israila ka?
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 Yi cii ki, a keno nakume nakom nyimom kan kenekowo kwama yo morbikwan durcereu.
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within 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 has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part 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.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 Kambo cii to dikwama ciya kenti yeri, dang jang nubo yob tim kaci ki kulendo fuwor.
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 Kom nabarubbo halili, yebwi kom tirangum fo komto dii kwamatiye? wuro Yesu yaken dii kwama, kambo kom tom yamcembeu dii kwamau ayilaunyo
who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
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 mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, 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 had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the 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.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly 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 these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 keb mibo nii inwi wo ticiinen kaba ciitam Yesu.
"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
17 Wifo morebe lan yom dike naceu dor dike cimaneu.
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion 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 this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 Nubo yimwi wursalima nuwam wo lacii cuwo fiyeco kin yicii “Akeldama” (Kiyiki fiye bwiyale).
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The 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 scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
21 Nawori tamnyo win mor nubo wo wari kange bo ki kwama Yesu ma doka kange cerka ceko yeu, morebe.
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that 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 the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one 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.
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Ciin kwob dilo ciiki, kwama mo mun yob ner nubere. dan nyinen wo mu coke morece yobewo.
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 Na tu nyi Yahuda fiye yahuda tiyangum meu yaken fiye”
to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
26 Ciin mer dacendo dor ciir, dacendo yardor Matiyas dila ciin kiyeti co mor nob tomangeb Sulombo yobeu.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
