Acts 1
1 In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
Nga mongnook Thiophilas: Nga leedap phangkhoh adi Jisu phang mokata dowa ih rangmong ni maang toonsiit wandi tiimjih reeraangta nyia tiimjih nyootsootta
2 until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
erah ah raangtang. Jisu rangmong ni maang toonsiit wanka di, heh ih danjeeta heliphante loong asuh Esa Chiiala chaan tiit ah renbaat rumta.
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.
Heh tiita dowa ih sa rookbaji lini ething toomjat rum hang ngeh ih hedop hedop heliphante loong suh noisokta. Heliphante loong ih uh tup ih rumta, eno Rangte hasong tiit ah roongwaan rumta.
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.
Neng loong ah eroom ih khoontong rum adi arah jengdang ah baat rumta: “Jerusalem ah nak thiinhaat an, erah nang ebah ngah ih baat rum taha ranglakkot ah bansoktheng, seng Wah ih kot etheng ngeh ih kakhatta rah ah.
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Joon ih juutem ah ju nawa ih tem tahan, enoothong rekam lidoh sen loong ah Esa Chiiala nawa ih tem han.”
6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Kaamwah loong ah Jisu damdi eroom ih chomui rumta doh, neng ih heh suh cheng rumta, “Teesu, hasong ah amadoh Ijirel suh ngaakkot nih uh?”
7 Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
Jisu ih baat rumta, “Saapoot nyia rangwu ah seng Wah luulu ih jat ah erah mabah ang ah sen ih jatjih tah angka, hechaan hephaan khui ni thiinha.
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.”
Enoothong sen taangnah Esa Chiiala raaha doh, sen loong ah chaan aphaan pan ang an, eno sen loong ah Jerusalem nah, Judia nah, Samaria nah nyia hakong rookwet nah nga haaki ang an.”
9 After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
Erah baat rumta lilih, heh rang ni toonsiit wan arah phansok rumta, eno neng miksoksok di jiimu ih loop wanta.
10 They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
Toon soonwang kano neng mik ah rangko sokwan roh ih rumta, eno nyuh epu ah kap ano mih wanyi neng reeni dongchap haano
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.”
baat rumta, “Galiliite oh, rangko tiimjih sokwan lan? Jisu, sen re nawa rang ni toonsiit wanta, erah likhiikkhiik ih rang nawa ngaak raaha rah japtup an.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Erah lih adi heliphante loong ah Olip Kong dowa Jerusalem ni ngaakwang rumta, erah hah dowa meesiit chang angta.
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.
Erah hah adi thokrum ano neng tongta nok rangkhoh ko nokkhok adi duuwang rumta: Erah di langla, Pitar, Joon, Jeems nyia Andriu, Philip nyia Thomas, Bartholomi nyia Mathiu, Alphias sah Jeems, Deek akaan raangtaan laatte Simoon, nyia Jeems sah Judaas loong angta.
14 With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Neng loong ah rangsoom raangtaan ih minuh loong nyia Jisu nuh Meeri erah damdi heh phoh nyia heh no loong damdi hepoot hepoot khoontong rumta.
15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
Saajombaji lidi chaasit rooknyi mih rangsoomte loong khoontong rum adi, Pitar toonchap ano jengta.
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.
Pitar ih liita, “Nga joonte loong, Esa Chiiala ih Dewid jeng thukta erah Rangteele ni raangha ah amiimi ih thok ha, Judaas ah Jisu jootkhak doh lamsiitte ang ah ngeh ih ah.
17 He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
Judaas ah sengdung dowa wasiit heh mootkaatte taat danjeeta.” (
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.
Judaas ih marah lalangka lampo nawa biita ngun ih reta phek adi tiita, heh wok ah raapphok ano heh leh loong ah nuudat eta.
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 ni songtongte loong ah ih erah japchaat rum ano, neng jenglam ih erah phek asuh Akeldama ngeh ih men rumta, erah langla “Sih Phek ngeh ah”)
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.’
“Rangsoom boong leedap ni raangha, ‘Heh nok ah ehu ih toom hoon ah; erah doh o uh naktoom tong ah.’ Amah uh raang eha, ‘Heh mootkaat ah o bah uh reeraang pakna toom ih ah.’
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,
“Erah thoidoh, seng damdoh o bah uh weeje etheng seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ngaaksaat tiit toombaatte ah. Enoothong erah mih ah langla sengdung dowa ang theng. Seng Teesu Jisu seng damdi saarookwet roongkhoom taha di roong mootkaatte dowa mih ang theng, Joon ih juutem Ruurang tumbaatta dowa ih Jisu rang ni toonsiit wanta di o thok roong khoomta erah mih ah ang theng.”
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.
Erah thoidi mih wanyi danje rumta: Josep, Barsabbas ngeh ih poon rumta ah (Justas ngeh ih uh li ih rumta), nyia Mathias ah.
24 And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
Eno rangsoom koh rumta, “Teesu, an ih warep tenthun ah jat ehu, erah wanyi tung dowa o ah danje hu erah seng suh jatthuk he
25 to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
Judaas maako kaat theng angta kaat eta erah saklek ah an liphante raangtaan ih jatthuk he”
26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
Eno nengnyi men o danje theng ah erah tootoon rumta, eno Mathias ah danje rumta, asih wasiit kaamwah loong damdi roong angtheng ngeh ah.
