Tich Joote 1
1 Ne osiepna Theofilo: E kitapa mokwongo ne andikoe gik moko duto mane Yesu otimo kendo opuonjo,
The former treatise, O Theophilus, I made concerning all that Jesus undertook both to do and to teach;
2 nyaka chop chiengʼ mane okawe motere e polo, bangʼ chiwo chik ni joote mane oseyiero kuom teko mar Roho Maler.
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 Bangʼ kane osesande, ne onyisore en owuon ne jogi, kendo nochiwo ranyisi mangʼeny masiro ni ongima. Ne ofwenyorenigi kuom ndalo piero angʼwen ka owuoyo kuom pinyruodh Nyasaye.
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.
4 Chiengʼ moro achiel kane oyudo ochiemo kodgi, nowachonegi niya, “Kik uwuog Jerusalem, to rituru mich mane Wuonwa osingore ni nomiu, ma usewinja ka awuoyo kuome;
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 nimar Johana nobatiso ji gi pi, to un bangʼ kinde manok ibiro batisou gi Roho Maler.”
for John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall within a few days be baptized with the holy Spirit.
6 Kuom mano, kane gisechokore kaachiel, negipenje niya, “Ruoth, kindeni ema ibiro duogo pinyruoth e lwet jo-Israel koso?”
Being therefore come together they asked Him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 Nodwokogi niya, “Ok en wachu mar ngʼeyo ndalo kata kinde ma Wuoro oseketo gi tekone owuon.
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 To ubiro yudo teko ka Roho Maler obiro kuomu; kendo unubed joneno maga ei Jerusalem kendo ei Judea duto gi Samaria, kod tungʼ piny gi tungʼ piny.”
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.
9 Bangʼ wacho mano, nokawe motere e polo, mana ka ginene, kendo polo noime mi olalnegi, makoro ne ok ginyal nene.
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 Kane oyudo pod gichomo wengegi e polo, ka gingʼiyo kaka odhi, apoya nono, negipo ka ji ariyo morwako lewni marochere ochungʼ bathgi.
And while they were looking stedfastly toward heaven, as He went up, behold two men in white stood by them;
11 Jogi nowachonegi niya, “Jo-Galili, angʼo momiyo uchungʼ ka ungʼiyo polo? Yesu owuon-ni, makoro osegol kuomu oter e polo, biro duogo kendo, mana kaka usenene kodhino.”
who said, Ye men of Galilee, why do ye stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in the manner ye have seen Him going into heaven.
12 Bangʼ mano joote nowuok modok Jerusalem, ka gia ewi got miluongo ni Zeituni, ma en kama bor madirom kilomita achiel koa Jerusalem.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath-day's journey.
13 Kane gichopo, negidhi nyaka kama negidakie, ei ot man malo ewi gorofa. Joma ne ni kanyo ne gin: Petro gi Johana, Jakobo gi Andrea; Filipo gi Thoma, Bartholomayo gi Mathayo, Jakobo wuod Alfayo, gi Simon ja-Zilote, kod Judas wuod Jakobo.
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.
14 Giduto ne gin e achiel ka ginano e lamo, kaachiel gi mon moko, kod Maria min Yesu gi owete Yesu.
These all persevered with one accord in prayer and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brethren.
15 E kindeno Petro nochungʼ e kind joma oyie (mane nyalo romo ji mia gi piero ariyo)
And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, (now the number of the persons that were together was about an hundred and twenty, )
16 mi nowachonegi niya, “Owetena, Ndiko nyaka ne chop kare, mana kaka Roho Maler nohulo chon gi dho Daudi, kuom Judas mane otelo ni joma nomako Yesu.
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 Chutho, Judas ne en achiel kuomwa, kendo en bende ne en-gi kare e tichwani.”
for he was numbered with us, and had obtained a part of this ministry.
18 Judas nongʼiewo lowo gi pesa mane oyudo kuom richone, to kanyo ema noruomboree piny, kendo bund iye nobarore mi nyimbi iye opukore oko.
(Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling down on his face, burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out:
19 Ji duto mane ni Jerusalem nowinjo wachno, mine giluongo puodhono gi dhogi ni Akeldama, ma tiende ni, Puoth Remo.
(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 Petro nodhi nyime kawacho niya, “Ondik e Kitap Zaburi kama: “‘Mad miechgi dongʼ gunda; ngʼato angʼata kik yiene dag e iye,’ kendo ondik niya, “‘Mad ngʼat machielo kaw tije.’
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 Kuom mano, ber mondo wayier ngʼato achiel e kind joma osebedo kodwa, chakre kinde mane Ruoth Yesu ochako bedo kodwa nyaka chop kinde mane okawe e dierwa.
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 Ngʼatno nyaka bed ngʼat mane nitie chakre ndalo Johana Ja-batiso nyaka odiechiengʼ mane okaw Yesu ogol e dierwa. Nimar achiel kuom jogi nyaka bed janeno kuom chierne kaachiel kodwa.”
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.
23 Eka negichiwo nying ji ariyo: Josef miluongo ni Barsaba (ma bende niluongo ni Justo) kod Mathias.
And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Bangʼe ne gilemo niya, “Ruoth, ingʼeyo chuny ji duto. Nyiswae kuom ji ariyogi ngʼat miseyiero
And they prayed and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, shew us, which of these two Thou hast chosen,
25 mondo okaw tich mar bedo jaote mane Judas ojwangʼo oweyo kane odhi kare mane ochanne.”
to take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas is fallen by his transgression, that he might go to his own place.
26 Eka negigoyo ombulu, kendo ombulu nolwar kuom Mathias. Omiyo nomede kuom joote apar gachiel mamoko.
And they gave out their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the apostles.
