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,
till the day in which He was taken up, after He had by the holy Spirit given instructions to 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 also He presented Himself alive, after He had suffered, by many certain proofs; being seen among them for forty days, and speaking of the things relating to the kingdom of God.

And meeting them together He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said He, ye have heard from me;
5 Yohanis aatsone b́gupi, itmo muk' aawoniye okoon shayiri S'ayinon gupetute.»
for John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall within a few days be baptized with the holy Spirit.
6 Bowere ikoke ko'edek't bo befere, «Doonzono! n mengsto Isra'elsh aani n imet aawo andeya?» ett boaati.
Being therefore come together they asked Him, saying, Lord, wilt 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 the times or seasons, which the Father hath reserved in his own power.
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 from the holy Spirit coming upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.

And having said these things, as they were looking upon Him, He was lifted 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,

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath-day's journey.

And when they were come in to the city, they went up into an upper room, where Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude the brother of James, usually abode.

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.
and said, Men and brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the holy Ghost spake by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus:
17 Yhud noyitsi iko wotat finan noonton finosh taaweytniye b́teshi.
for he was numbered with us, and had obtained a part of this ministry.

(and it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, 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 desolate, and let none dwell in it; and again, Let another take his office.)
21 «Eshe Doonzo Iyesus nodagotse bí ananori noonton towat teshtswotsitse,
Wherefore it is necessary that one of these men, who have been conversant with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and 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.»
from the baptism of John, till the day that He was taken up from us, should be joined with us as a witness of his resurrection.

And they prayed and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, shew us, which of these two Thou hast chosen,
25 Nok'onirwonwere Yhud b́ tookon k'az bíamori k'azb́k'rts wosheetsots finan de'er b́ shaato shegrshosh wotituwo noosh nkiitsishee.»
to take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas is fallen by his transgression, that he might go to his own place.
