Acts 1
1 The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Ikpi biwa mina hla niwu'a, Theophilus, a ne nitu ndu u tsro wa Yesu a ti rhi ni mumla.
2 until the day in which, having given command through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He chose out, He was taken up,
Ahe ni iri wa ba bariu hi ni shu, nikima wa a 'mmha manzani wa ana chuba'a ni ruhu tsatsra, a.
3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, in many certain proofs, being seen by them through forty days, and speaking the things concerning the Kingdom of God.
Niwa baya wa ba tiu ya a stro tuma ni sisren ni bawu ni nkon kankan ni du ba na kpatron ni lunde ni be mana A tsro tuma nibawu wu vi tsotra don za nda tre ni ba nitu koson (shulu) Irjhi.
4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “Which you heard from Me;
Niwa a kri ni shubimba ni wu, a'mmha ba du bana don Urishilima na, du ba gben shirjhi wu tima, wa a lha ndi, “Bi wo ni nyumu.
5 because John, indeed, immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit not many days after these.”
Ndi a hi janji, Yohanna a ti batisma ni yiwu ni ma, ama ni vi yi, bi kpa batisma wu Ruhu Tsatsra.”
6 They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning Him, saying, “Lord, do You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Niwa ba shu ki, ba miye ndi baci, “zizanyi ahi ton yiyi u kma tuchu gbungblua ye ni Israila?
7 And He said to them, “It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father appointed in His own authority;
A lha bawu ndi “Ana wumbi du yi to nton ko vi waa timu a yo ni gbengble ma na.”
8 but you will receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit on you, and you will be witnesses for Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Ama bi kpa gbengble wa Ruhu Tsatsra ni ku yiwu, niki bi bla ni tumu, rhi ni Urishilima baba Judiya wawu mba Samaria, ni ka ri ni klekle gbungblu meme.
9 And having said these things—they beholding—He was taken up, and a cloud received Him up from their sight;
A kle tre kpi bi yi nu, niwa ba ki si ya shulu, ba ban'u lu hon, e clalu a kawu u shishi mba ka la tou na.
10 and as they were looking steadfastly to the sky in His going on, then, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Niwa ba rhisi yo shishi ni ya hon ma hi shulu'a, ndhi ha ni nkon kinkla ba krirhu kri ni mimba.
11 who also said, “Men, Galileans, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was received up from you into Heaven, will so come in what manner you saw Him going on to Heaven.”
Ba tre ndi, “Biyi ndhi bi Galilee, “bi ki ya gye ni shulu? Yesu yi, wa ba banwu hi ni shulu, ni kima ye bibi wa bito ba ban u hi ni shulu'a”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from [that] called the Mount of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath’s journey;
Mle ba k'ma grhi rhi ni ngblu wa ba yo ndi Olivet, wandi a wiewiera ni Urishilima, hi ni mi gbu Urishislima, ezren vi chanchu sati.
13 and when they came in, they went up into the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, of James;
Niwa ba ye ri, ba tsi hunhi tra u koshu, wa bah kini mia. Bana ba Yohana, yakubu, andarawus, Filibus, Toma, barthelomen, Matiu, Yakubu Ivren Alphanso Siman wa ini wu ngyegere me, Mba Juda Ivren Yakubu.
14 these were all continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Wawu mba ba zontu ki ni bubu riri nda sia bre Rji, baba Mba ba, ni Maryamu ehi Yesu, baba mri vayi ma.
15 And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said (also the multitude of the names at the same place was, as it were, one hundred and twenty),
Niri baki, Bitrus a lu kri ni mi mri vayiba, bana tsra ndhi 120, nda tre ndi.
16 “Men, brothers, it was necessary [for] this Writing to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,
“Mri vayi, a he nitu du tre wu vunvu tre baci du rhu tsra, nawa Ruhu Tsatsra ana lha ni nyu Dawuda ni tu Juda, wa a tsro biwa baye vu Yesu nkon.
17 because he was numbered among us, and received the share in this ministry.
Ana irimbu wa a kpa ndu wandi anuta ngame.”
18 (This one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst apart in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,
(Zizan ndhi yi a ka le irhu ni nkle wu meme dri wandi a kpa'a, nda ka rhoku nitu u Kpama ka yrahle, ni irhenma ba ka vrale ni meme.
19 and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that this place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
Wawu ndhi bi ki ni gbu Urishilima ba wo kpe wa a zren kima ba yonde irhu kima ni lan gbu mba ndi. “Akeldama”, wandi a tsra ni nde “Irhu u yi.”)
20 For it has been written in [the] Scroll of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and let another take his oversight.
Ba tre ni tuma ni vunvu tre zabura, ndi, “Du ba du irhukima du kri ton kpo, e du ko ndior na kruko ni kimana
21 It is necessary, therefore, of the men who went with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
Ani bi du lilon ri wa azi wuta rhini nton wa baci Yesu a zren ri nda rhu ni mi mbu,
22 beginning from the immersion of John, to the day in which He was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of His resurrection.”
Rjhini baptisma wu Yohana, ye ni vi wa ba ban'wu hon ni shishi mbu, nda toh tash'men rhi ni qu ngame.
23 And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,
Ba ju nji ha zi, Yusufu wandi ba yondi Barsabbas, wandi bata yondi Justus ngame, mba Matayas.
24 and having prayed, they said, “You, LORD, who are knowing the heart of all, show which one You chose of these two,
Ba bre ndi “Baci, wuhi wu toh suron ndhi ko nha, tsro ta ka ahi nya nimi ndi bihi wa wu chu
25 to receive the share of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, fell, to go on to his proper place”;
ni du ban bubu son manzani wu bla kpe wa ato, nitu tash'm ma ni mimbu, wandi Juda a k'ma gon tiwu nda hi kpama.”
26 and they gave their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Ba yo kuriya nitu mba, wa a ku nitu Matayas, e ba bla a yo ni manzani wlo don iri ba.
