The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Daro maantsan b́ tuuts aawo b́ borfetso b́ fintsoniyee, daro maantsan b́ tuwwere gal b́ dek'ts woshetswotssh b́ tzaziyo shayiri S'ayini weeron b́ imihakoniye,
until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 Ay gond bek'o dek't bí etiyak beyar beetk b́ wottsok'o kitsit weeron ayoto boosh b́ be'eyi, hab aawosh boats be'eyat Ik'i mengst jango boosh b́daniyi.
to whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:
4 Bonton beyat b́móór hank'o ett boon b́ azazi, «Taa itsh t keewtsok'o nihokere itsh imosh jangiyetso korde'ere bako Iyerusalemitse keshk'ayere,
and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [said he], ye heard from me:
5 Yohanis aatsone b́gupi, itmo muk' aawoniye okoon shayiri S'ayinon gupetute.»
for John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
6 Bowere ikoke ko'edek't bo befere, «Doonzono! n mengsto Isra'elsh aani n imet aawo andeya?» ett boaati.
They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 Iyesusu hank'o ett boosh bí aaniyi, «Niho b́ took alon bí etts aawonat dúron it danosh falatste.
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within his own authority.
8 Ernmó shayiri S'ayino itats b́ oot'or ango daatsitute, manoor Iyerusalemn, Yhud dats jamatse, Semariyon, dats daar jamats b́ borfetso taash gawo wotitute.»
But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 Hank'owere bí etiyakon bo bek'fere daro maantsan k'az b́ tuwi, dawunonuwere bín dek't bo awatsere ááts b́k'ri.
And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Bíwere daro maantsan b́ tuufere, boowere t'iwints dek't daromandan bo s'iilfere nas' taho tah dek'ts git ashuwots bo ganokere need' dek't,
And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 «It Galil ashuwotso, eegishe need'dek'at daromatsan it s'iliri? Daro maantsan b́ dek'efere it bek'ts Iyesus haniye, daro maantsan b́ tuufere it bek'tsank'on aanar weetuwe» bo eti.
who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.

And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [the son] of Alphæus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas [the son] of James.
14 Jametsanots úniaawo Ik' k'onosh ik nibona bokakuweefo, bontonuwere mááts ik ikuwotsnat Iyesus ind Mariyamn, mank'owere Iyesus eshuwots fa'ano botesh.
These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 Manoor P'et'ros bale hiyo wotitu amants ashuwots taalotse need'dek't hank'o bíeti,
And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons [gathered] together, about a hundred and twenty),
16 «Ti eshuwotso, Iyesusi detsts ashuwotsi jishtso Yhud jangosh, shin shin shayiri S'ayino Dawit noonon b́ keewtso S'ayin mas'aafi aap' s'eeno geyituwe.
Brethren, it was needful that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 Yhud noyitsi iko wotat finan noonton finosh taaweytniye b́teshi.
For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.

19 Keewanuwere Iyerusalemitse fa'a jamwotssh b́ daneyi, mansh datsmanúwere bo nooni keewon ‹Akeldama› et s'egeyi, b́ bitsonuwere ‹S'ats datsa› etee.
And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)
20 «Man b́ wottsonuwere dub mas'aafotse, ‹B́beyoko dats baash wotowe, Konuwor bíyats beek'aye, Aaninuwere b́ naashts naasho k'osh asho bíyatse de'ewutsowe› Ett guut't teshetsotsnee.
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be made desolate, And let no man dwell therein: and, His office let another take.
21 «Eshe Doonzo Iyesus nodagotse bí ananori noonton towat teshtswotsitse,
Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
22 Mank'o Yohans guproon tuut doonzo Iyesus daromaants b́ tuufetsi aawosh noonton teshtswotsitse ash iko noonton k'irotse tuwi jango gawo b́ woto geyituwe.»

And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,

to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.
26 It'onowere bo shap'i Matiyassh b́ keshi, Mansh bí tatse ik woshetswotsnton b́ taaweyi.
And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
