Acts 1
1 Dear Theophilus, in my previous book I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
Bifumero mi mulanyi kika, Theophilus in tok dikero Yesu ter makau la merange.
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven. This was after he'd given instructions through the Holy Spirit to his chosen apostles.
Na nyime diye cii tumou yaken dii kwama. Wo kambo cine nob tomangeb cebo cidoweu yuwatangbeke.
3 Over the course of forty days after the death he suffered, he showed himself to them, proving that he was alive with convincing evidence. He appeared to them, and told them about the kingdom of God.
Kambo cinuwa dotangeri yadangu dorcero ciinen, ki yiromtinim dukce wo nyomkace. kume kwini naar ci dangu dorcero ciinene yi cii ker liyar kwamar
4 While he was still with them he instructed them, “Do not leave Jerusalem. Wait to receive what the Father promised, just as you heard it from me.
Kambo ci yi kange cii yeri in yi cii, ciya dobre wursalima dila ciya ningtang nor Teero, woci yiki, “Kom nuwa fiye mi wiyeu”
5 It's true that John baptized with water, but in just a few days' time you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.”
Yiti ki, cwerke man Yahaya yucinen mwembo kin wmom, dila ayukumen mwembo ki yuwa tangbeko wucakke, kume fo kutangbo”.
6 So when the disciples met with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will re-establish Israel's kingdom?”
Kambo cii wariyeri cin meco Kwama ki kwamawo mwa yilauti ki liyar Israila ka?
7 “You don't need to know about the dates and times that are set by the Father's authority,” he told them.
Yi cii ki, a keno nakume nakom nyimom kan kenekowo kwama yo morbikwan durcereu.
8 “But you will be given power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest places on earth.”
Dila kom yo bikwando cano yuwatangbe kwamako bou dor kumerdi, lana nyime kan yilam nob wabebkeb min mor wursalima kange mor yahudiya gwam kange samariya, yaken ciko cwile dor bitinere”.
9 After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
Ki kwama wo kwama Yesu tok kero birombem, kambo cito dii kwamatiyeri, dila cii tumco ciin yaken kico dii kwama, biloro yurangum co nuwece.
10 While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them.
Kambo cii to dikwama ciya kenti yeri, dang jang nubo yob tim kaci ki kulendo fuwor.
11 “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky?” they asked. “This same Jesus who has been taken up from you to heaven shall come in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”
Kom nabarubbo halili, yebwi kom tirangum fo komto dii kwamatiye? wuro Yesu yaken dii kwama, kambo kom tom yamcembeu dii kwamau ayilaunyo
12 Then the disciples went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives which is about a Sabbath day's walk from Jerusalem.
Kambo cii yilau bany Zaitun cii yoten yilau wursalima wuro bidom kange wursalimau, yam kume nukkune ki dimen.
13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the upper room where they were staying: Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Kambo cii lameri, ciin yabken tiyak fiye cii yimtiyeu. ciin bi Bitrus, Yahaya, Yakubu, Andirawus, Filibus, Tomas Bartholomew, Matta, Yakubu bibwe Alfa Siman Yahuda bibwe Yakubu.
14 They all joined together in prayer, together with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and his brothers.
Gwam ce ciin mwerkang dorceo win, kambo cii ca kaba ki kwob dilo. Matta, Maryamu wo bo Yesu kange kebcoba cii wari.
15 At this time Peter stood up and addressed a crowd of around one hundred and twenty believers who had gathered together.
Ki kume niwo Bitrus kweniti tiber kebceber, nubo kwini kwob toro kwini yob, yi cii.
16 “My brothers and sisters,” he said, “The Scriptures, spoken by the Holy Spirit through David, had to be fulfilled regarding Judas, who guided those who arrested Jesus.
keb mibo nii inwi wo ticiinen kaba ciitam Yesu.
17 He was counted as one of us, and shared in this ministry.”
Wifo morebe lan yom dike naceu dor dike cimaneu.
18 (Judas had bought a field with his ill-gotten gains. There he fell down headfirst, and his body burst apart, spilling out all his intestines.
Niwo tenum bitine ki kemero cifiyau mor nagen bwirantum nerer cero, cin yaru wi kidor fwercero wurom, yeicero coru kale.
19 Everybody who lived in Jerusalem heard about this so that the field was called in their language “Akeldama,” which means, “Field of blood.”)
Nubo yimwi wursalima nuwam wo lacii cuwo fiyeco kin yicii “Akeldama” (Kiyiki fiye bwiyale).
20 As it's written in the book of Psalms, “Let his home be abandoned, and no-one live there;” and “Let someone else take over his position.”
Wori cii mulange mor bifumer Zaburad Lafiyeceu ayilam kamlo adobeni ayifiyeco kange atum nangen cero.
21 “So now we have to choose someone who has been with us the whole time that Jesus was with us,
Nawori tamnyo win mor nubo wo wari kange bo ki kwama Yesu ma doka kange cerka ceko yeu, morebe.
22 from the time John was baptizing up until the day Jesus was taken up to heaven from us. One of these must be chosen to join together with us as we witness, giving evidence of Jesus' resurrection.”
Terti ki yuka mu ngek Yahaya yakaken ciko kakukowa cii tumco binenneu yaken dii kwama a yilam, win morebe fiye tokka ker kwenkacek.
23 Two names were put forward: Joseph Justus, also known as Barsabbas, and Matthias.
Ciin dang nubo yob Yusufu woci choti ki Barsabbas, wotak ci cho dendo ki Justus kange Matthias.
24 They prayed together and said, “Lord, you know everyone's thoughts please show us which of these two you have chosen
Ciin kwob dilo ciiki, kwama mo mun yob ner nubere. dan nyinen wo mu coke morece yobewo.
25 to replace Judas as an apostle in this ministry that he gave up to go to where he belongs.”
Na tu nyi Yahuda fiye yahuda tiyangum meu yaken fiye”
26 They cast lots, and Matthias was chosen. He was counted as an apostle with the other eleven.
Ciin mer dacendo dor ciir, dacendo yardor Matiyas dila ciin kiyeti co mor nob tomangeb Sulombo yobeu.
