< Acts 1 >
1 In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
Pakmisinam Tiopilas: Ngoogv lvktulwkke lwknam kitap lo ngo Jisu gv ogumvnwng rinam okv minam ninyigv atukalu ho rinama lvkpvnv
2 until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
ninyi nyidomooku chaatv madvbv alulo. Ninyigv chaama dvbv, Hv kaatamritamla Darwknv Dow jwkrw lokv ninyigv Apostol gobv darlin kunam nyi vdwa.
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.
Vkvgv siro kunam kochingso alu champi go ogolo lamtv lo hv nyi vdwa kaarwksuku nama ho hv turpvkunv vv nyi vdwa kaatam kunam. Bunu ninyia kaatoku, okv hv bunua lvkobv Pwknvyarnv gv Karv gv lvgabv japbam toku.
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.
Okv vdwlo bunu lvkobv aato kudw, hv bunua so orto sum jitoku: “Jerusalem am vngyu mabv kv, vbvritola jwkrw lvgabv doyato ngoogv nonuam minpv nama, ngo Abu gv jwkrw milv nama.
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Jon isi lokv baptisma jito, vbvritola so lonyiloum so nonua Darwknv Dow lokv baptisma jire.”
6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Vdwlo Apostol vdwv Jisunyi kaarwk sikubvdw, bunu vdwv ninyia tvvkato, “Ahtu, no so vjakdadw suka Israel am Karv nga jikur dooku bvre?”
7 Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
Jisu bunua minto, “Ridwvngdw ngv ngoogv Abu gv atubogv tujupkunamv, okv so si nonu lvgabv chinsvma vdwlo vv bunu ririkudw.
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.”
Vbvritola vdwlo Darwknv Dowv nonu gvlo aaku bolo, no jwkrw doriku, okv no ngo gvbvku minjiyanv gobv ririku Jerusalem lo Judia mvnwnglo okv Samaria okv sichingmooku gv dotvr mvnwnglo mingo jinv gobv ririku.”
9 After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
Miro koching so ninyi nyidomooku naacha kunama ho vdwv kaaria toku, okv ho vdwgv kaanyung aku ninyia hapumv kaklum toku.
10 They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
Bunu vdwv vjaklodvbv nyido tlo bv ninyigv chaanama roodungla kaaria kunamv, ogolokv nyi anyigo vji jipung kootola dvminmabv bunu vdwgvlo aala dakbamto
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.”
okv minto, “Galili nyi vdwv, ogulvgabv nonuno daktola nyidotolo kaadung dunv? Si Jisu si, nonugv lokv nyidomooku bv naacha kunama, nonu ninyia nyidomooku bv chaadubv kaaming gvnam aingbv nw vbvching lvkodv aakur reku.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Okv Apostol vdwv Olib gv Moodw lokv Jerusalem lo vngkur toku, hv pamtv lokv lvtw gobv aduto.
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.
Bunu banggu lo aachi toku okv ho vdwgv karchung dookulo chaachi toku: Pitar, Jon, Jems okv Andriu, Pilip okv Tomas, Bartolomiu okv Metiu, Alpius gv kuunyilo Jems, Saimon ringria kunv okv Jems gv kuunyilo Judas.
14 With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Bunu dookum nyato kumbwng nyala, anvnyimv vdwv okv Jisu gv anv Meri okv ninyigv boru vdwv lvkobv.
15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
Alu lonyiloum koching ho mvngjwngnv vdwv doopamgo pamto, hokaku lwnggola chamnyi gubv, okv Pitarnyi japdubv daktoku.
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.
“Ngoogv ajin vdwv,” hv minto, “Darwknv Dow lokv minamv darwknv kitapv jvjvbv aaduku, Dabid gv lokv, oogv Jisunyi booku nama chigudabianv Judas gv lvkwng lo mincho moodubv mvtoku.
17 He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
Judas ka ngonugv apam lo ribamv, hv ngonugv kudungkua aba lo ribam kunam akobv darlin kunamv.” (
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.
Judas gv alvmanv rijo morko paanama rongo rvvnv toku, ho rongo hoka ninyi atubongv hoksar sitoku; ninyi godit goitla okv ninyigv tangiv pokdik lintoku.
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.)
Jerusalem lo nyi doonv vdwv so sum tvvpa kunam, okv ho vdwgv atubogv gaam bv ho rongo nga Akeldama vla vdwv minkunam, Akeldama, minam si “Gwngrw Talwng Rongo.”)
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.’
“Holvgabv soogv Miri kitap si vbv lvkpv pvku, ‘Oogv naam lo nyi akoka dookuma; Holvgabv vkvgv naamv arochoko duku.’ So si ka lvkpv duku, ‘Vbvmabvdv akonvka vkvgv risvdosv nga naariku.’
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,
“Holvgabv, Ahtu Jisu gv turkur kunama, ho kaariatarianv akobv ngonu gvlo ribam rungdu kubv, hv nyi angv kvvlo lokv Ahtu Jisu ngonugv lvkobv vnggo karla Jon ninyigv baptisma gv doina japgo kari lokv Jisunyi nyidomooku lo ngonugv pingko lokv laachama dvdv lobv riming gvnv gobv rirungpv lage.”
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.”
23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
Vbvrikunamv, bunu vdwv nyi anyi gonyi mimpv toku: Josep, um Barsabbas vtoku (Justus bvka mintoku) okv Matias.
24 And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
Vbvrikunamv bunu kumtoku, “Ahtu, no mvnwng gv mvngnama chindu, noogv gaklin pvvnam nyidum anyi sum ngonua kaatam bvka
25 to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
Apostol aingbv ridubv Judas gv vngro kunam lokv, nyi ogolokvdw ho vngkunam.”
26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
Vbvrikunamv bunu nyi anyia amin chingkw sito okv ako chincha namv Matiasnyi Apostol akobv chilin toku vringgola akinlo aapwng toku.
