Tich Joote 1
1 Ne osiepna Theofilo: E kitapa mokwongo ne andikoe gik moko duto mane Yesu otimo kendo opuonjo,
The former record I made, O Theophilus, of all things that Jesus began 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 on which he was taken up, after he had, through the Holy Spirit, given commandments 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, after he had suffered, he also showed himself alive, by many indubitable proofs; appearing to them for forty days, and speaking of the things that pertain 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 calling them together, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of my Father, which, said he, you have heard from me;
5 nimar Johana nobatiso ji gi pi, to un bangʼ kinde manok ibiro batisou gi Roho Maler.”
for John indeed immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit, not many days hence.
6 Kuom mano, kane gisechokore kaachiel, negipenje niya, “Ruoth, kindeni ema ibiro duogo pinyruoth e lwet jo-Israel koso?”
Therefore, when they came 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.
But he said to them: It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has reserved under his own control.
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 you shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses for me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the most distant 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 when he had spoken these things, while they were looking on him, he was taken 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 earnestly toward heaven, as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white raiment,
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 also said: Men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall come in the same manner in which you saw him go 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 mount called Olivet, which is near 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 had come in, they went up into an upper room, in which dwelt Peter and James, and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 Giduto ne gin e achiel ka ginano e lamo, kaachiel gi mon moko, kod Maria min Yesu gi owete Yesu.
All these, with one mind, continued in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 E kindeno Petro nochungʼ e kind joma oyie (mane nyalo romo ji mia gi piero ariyo)
And in those days Peter arose in the midst of the disciples, (the number of the names together was about a hundred and twenty, ) and said:
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.
Brethren, it was necessary for this scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit had before spoken by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was a guide to those who took 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 been appointed to 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.
Therefore he purchased a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, 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 that dwelt in Jerusalem, so that the field is called, in their own language, Akeldama, 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 no one dwell in it, and, His office let another take.
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.
Therefore, of these men who have associated with us during the whole time in which the Lord Jesus went 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.”
beginning from the immersion of John till the day on which he was taken up from us, must one be appointed as a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 Eka negichiwo nying ji ariyo: Josef miluongo ni Barsaba (ma bende niluongo ni Justo) kod Mathias.
And they set apart 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 praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, make known which of these two thou hast chosen,
25 mondo okaw tich mar bedo jaote mane Judas ojwangʼo oweyo kane odhi kare mane ochanne.”
that he may be appointed to this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, 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 in their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias: and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
