2 Ahe ni iri wa ba bariu hi ni shu, nikima wa a 'mmha manzani wa ana chuba'a ni ruhu tsatsra, a.
until the day having given orders to the apostles through [the] Spirit Holy whom He had chosen He was taken up.

to those also He presented Himself alive after the suffering of Him with many proofs, during days forty appearing to them and speaking the [things] concerning the kingdom of God.
4 Niwa a kri ni shubimba ni wu, a'mmha ba du bana don Urishilima na, du ba gben shirjhi wu tima, wa a lha ndi, “Bi wo ni nyumu.
And being assembled together He instructed to them from Jerusalem not to depart, but to await the promise of the Father That which you heard of Me;
5 Ndi a hi janji, Yohanna a ti batisma ni yiwu ni ma, ama ni vi yi, bi kpa batisma wu Ruhu Tsatsra.”
for John indeed baptized with water, you yourselves however with [the] Spirit will be baptized Holy not after many these days.
6 Niwa ba shu ki, ba miye ndi baci, “zizanyi ahi ton yiyi u kma tuchu gbungblua ye ni Israila?
Those indeed therefore having come together (were asking *N(k)O*) Him saying; Lord, if at time this are you restoring the kingdom to Israel?
7 A lha bawu ndi “Ana wumbi du yi to nton ko vi waa timu a yo ni gbengble ma na.”
He said then to them; Not yours it is to know times or seasons which the Father put in place by His own authority,
8 Ama bi kpa gbengble wa Ruhu Tsatsra ni ku yiwu, niki bi bla ni tumu, rhi ni Urishilima baba Judiya wawu mba Samaria, ni ka ri ni klekle gbungblu meme.
But you will receive power when was coming the Holy Spirit upon you and you will be (My *N(K)O*) witnesses in both Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and until [the] uttermost part of the earth.
9 A kle tre kpi bi yi nu, niwa ba ki si ya shulu, ba ban'u lu hon, e clalu a kawu u shishi mba ka la tou na.
And these things having said when are looking they He was taken up and a cloud hid Him from the eyes of them.
10 Niwa ba rhisi yo shishi ni ya hon ma hi shulu'a, ndhi ha ni nkon kinkla ba krirhu kri ni mimba.
And as looking intently they were into the heaven as is going He, then behold men two had stood by them in (garments white, *N(k)O*)
11 Ba tre ndi, “Biyi ndhi bi Galilee, “bi ki ya gye ni shulu? Yesu yi, wa ba banwu hi ni shulu, ni kima ye bibi wa bito ba ban u hi ni shulu'a”
who also said; Men Galileans, why have you stood (looking *NK(o)*) into heaven? This Jesus who having been taken up from you into heaven thus will come in that manner you beheld Him going into heaven.
12 Mle ba k'ma grhi rhi ni ngblu wa ba yo ndi Olivet, wandi a wiewiera ni Urishilima, hi ni mi gbu Urishislima, ezren vi chanchu sati.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from [the] mount which is being called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s holding journey.

And when they had entered into the upper room they went up where they were staying, both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas [son] of James.
14 Wawu mba ba zontu ki ni bubu riri nda sia bre Rji, baba Mba ba, ni Maryamu ehi Yesu, baba mri vayi ma.
These all were steadfastly continuing with one accord in prayer (and in supplication *K*) with the [the] women and Mary with the mother of Jesus and (with *ko*) the brothers of Him.

And in days these having stood up Peter in [the] midst of the (brothers *N(K)O*) he said — was then [the] number of names together the same (about *N(k)O*) a hundred twenty —
16 “Mri vayi, a he nitu du tre wu vunvu tre baci du rhu tsra, nawa Ruhu Tsatsra ana lha ni nyu Dawuda ni tu Juda, wa a tsro biwa baye vu Yesu nkon.
Men brothers, it was necessary for to have been fulfilled Scripture (this *k*) which (foretold *NK(o)*) the Spirit Holy through [the] mouth of David concerning Judas the [one] having become guide to those having arrested (*k*) Jesus;
17 Ana irimbu wa a kpa ndu wandi anuta ngame.”
for numbered he was (among *N(k)O*) us and was allotted the share of the ministry this.
18 (Zizan ndhi yi a ka le irhu ni nkle wu meme dri wandi a kpa'a, nda ka rhoku nitu u Kpama ka yrahle, ni irhenma ba ka vrale ni meme.
This [man] indeed then acquired a field out of (the *k*) reward of unrighteousness, and headlong having fallen he burst open in [the] middle and gushed out all the intestines of him,

And known it became to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, so that to call the field that [one] in [their] own language of them Akeldama That is Field of Blood.
20 Ba tre ni tuma ni vunvu tre zabura, ndi, “Du ba du irhukima du kri ton kpo, e du ko ndior na kruko ni kimana
It has been written for in [the] book of Psalms: should become the homestead of him desolate and not should there be [one] who is dwelling in it,’ and The position of him (take *N(k)O*) another.’
21 Ani bi du lilon ri wa azi wuta rhini nton wa baci Yesu a zren ri nda rhu ni mi mbu,
It behooves therefore of those [who] were accompanying us men during all [the] time (in *k*) that he came in and he went out among us the Lord Jesus,
22 Rjhini baptisma wu Yohana, ye ni vi wa ba ban'wu hon ni shishi mbu, nda toh tash'men rhi ni qu ngame.

25 ni du ban bubu son manzani wu bla kpe wa ato, nitu tash'm ma ni mimbu, wandi Juda a k'ma gon tiwu nda hi kpama.”
to take the (place *N(k)O*) of the ministry this and apostleship (from *N(k)O*) which turned aside Judas to go to the place [his] own.
26 Ba yo kuriya nitu mba, wa a ku nitu Matayas, e ba bla a yo ni manzani wlo don iri ba.
And they gave lots (to them *N(k)O*) and fell the lot on Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
