Acts 1
1 In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
Tewofila min den kpa diani ya tili nni n den togidi Jesu n den cili ki tiendi yaala ki go bangi yaala.
2 until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
Hali ki pundi ya daali ke o den doni tanpoli. Hali ke o daa doni, U Tienu fuoma yua paaciamu po, o den o den teni o ñoabona o tondiba wan den gandi yaaba.
3 After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
O fala puoli o den doagidi o yuli bipo ki fo ki waani ba yaa bonla n yaba ki tie seedi ke laa pia niama ke o ye ki maadi leni ba U Tiema maama fuuli.
4 And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
Dayenli wan den ye leni ba o den teni ba li ñoabonli ki yedi ba: yin da ña Jelusalema ama yin guudi baa n den niani ya ñoanianu yin den gbadi ke n maadi yaala ya maama.
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Kelima Jan den batisi leni mi ñima ama yinba wani li kan cie danaba ke yi baa ba U Tienu fuoma yua ya batisima.
6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Bi ŋoadikaaba n den taani, bi den buali o ki yedi: o diedo naani yaa yogunu n tie na yo ke I salele nibuolu ba goa ki diedi bi diema?
7 Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
O den goa ki yedi ba: laa tie yinba ka n bandi baa n bili yaa yogini leni ya dana kelima wani oba ya bali po.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Ama yi baa ba u paalu U Tienu fuoma yua ya jiidi yipo ya yogunu, yi baa tie n seedinba Jelusalema nni, Jude po, leni Samali kuli ŋali ki pundi ŋanduna banlu kuli.
9 After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
Jesu n den yedi yeni o den doni tonpoli ban se ki diidi ya yogunu, ku tawaligu den pigini o bi nuni po.
10 They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
Wan den ca ya yogunu ke bi ŋoadikaaba se ki diidi tanpoli, jaba lie yaaba n yie ti tiapiendi bi yula bipo ki yedi ba:
11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
yinba Galikle yaaba be ya po ke yi se ki diidi tanpoli nanda? Wani Jesu yua n ñani yi siiga ki gedi tanpoli yeni baa goa ki cua nani yin la ke o ca maama.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Lani bi den jiidi Olife tiidi juali po ki guani Jelusalema. Li juali yeni leni Jelusalema banli den tie Kilo dajenbiyenga.
13 When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
Ban den pundi, bi den kua li dieli nni ki doni li dietuadili po ban den maani ki taagi naankani. Li den ti Pieli, Jan, Jaka leni Andile, Filipi, leni Toma, Batelemi, leni Matiyu, Alife bijua Jaka, leni Simono ban yi yua o yankuadaano, leni Jaka bijua Jude.
14 With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Bikuli den pia yanyenma ki taagi ki jaandi kaa cedi, bani bi puoba, leni Jesu na Maliyama leni Jesu waamu.
15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
Laa dana nni Pieli den fi ki sedi o kpiiba siiga bani yaaba n den taani ki bua ki pundi niba kobiga n piilie ki yedi:
16 “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
n kpiiba li den tie tiladi ke i diani n kua, ke U Tienu fuoma yua n den tuodi ki maadi yaala Dafidi ñoabu nni n tieni. O den tuodi ki maadi Judasa maama. Wani yua n den gobidi yaaba n den n den cua ki cuo Jesu.
17 He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
Judasa den tie ti siiga yua ki ta leni ti tuonyenli.
18 (Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
O den da u kuanu leni wan den tieni mi biadima ki ba ya pani ki baa li kani ki tandi ke o siiga pudi ke o nuadi yayadi.
19 This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
Jelusalema yaaba kuli den bandi ke li tieni yeni ŋali ke bi yi laa kuanu bi maama nni Akelidema lani n tie mi soama kuanu.
20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
Kelima li diani Pisominba tili nni: o diegu n tua diegbengu oba kuli n da go ye lienni ke nitoa mo n ga o tuonli.
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Kali yaaba n den yegi leni ti siiga ti diedo n den ye leni ti ya yogunu ki cili Jan n den batisi ya yogunu ki pundi ŋali wan n den ñani ti siiga ki doni tanpoli ya yogunu.
22 beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
Li tie tiladi ke bi siiga yendo n taani leni ti ki ya tiendi seedi ke Jesu fi bi tinkpiba siiga.
23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
Bi den bili niba lie yela; Josefi ban go yi yua Basabasa ki go yi o Jusitusa.
24 And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
Li yaa puoli bi den tieni jaandi n tie na: O diedo fini yua n bani nilo kuli pala waani ti bi naa niliediba siiga ŋan gandi yua,
25 to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
ke wan tua Jesu tondo ki ya tugi o tugili li naa tuonli nni.
26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
Bi den toani tiatia ke li baa Matiasa po, ke o taani leni bi piiga n dondiyendiba.
