Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
I lañonañe valoha’e nanoekoy, ry Teofily, ami’ty nifotora’ Iesoà nanao, naho nañòke
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
pak’ amy andro nampionjonañe azey, ie fa nanoro o Firàheñe jinobo’e añamy Arofo Masiñeio.
3 to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
Aa naho niheneke i halovilovia’ey le niboak’ am’ iereo naho niventè’e an-tsata maro, hampatokisañe iareo t’ie veloñe, vaho niisa’ iareo efa-polo andro, le nitaroña’e i Fifehean’ Añaharey.
4 And while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye heard from me;
Aa ie nifañaoñe le nafanto’e te tsy hiakats’ Ierosaleme fa handiñe i nampitaman-dRaey: i Jinanji’ areo amakoy.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Nampilipotse an-drano t’i Jaona, fe halipotse amy Arofo Masiñey nahareo te heron-kerone.
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Aa ie nifanontoñe le nañontanea’ iareo ty hoe: O Rañandria, Hampolie’o am’ Israele henaneo hao i fifeheañey?
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Hoe re tam’ iereo: Tsy anahareo ty hahafohiñe ty andro ndra o sa nalaha n-dRae amy fandilia’eio,
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
fe handrambe haozarañe nahareo te ivotraha’ i Arofo Masiñey; ho mpitalily ahy e Ierosaleme naho e Iehodà iaby naho e Samaria ao vaho pak’ antsietoitane añe.
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Ie nitsarae’e le nonjoneñe vaho rinambe’ ty rahoñe tsy ho am-pahaisaha’ iareo.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Ie mbe nitalake mb’andikerañe eñe mb’amy nionjona’ey, hehe te nijohañe añila’ iereo t’indaty roe nisarom-poty
11 who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.
nanao ty hoe, Ry nte-Galilia, akore t’ie miandrandra mb’ andindìñe ey? Iesoà nirambeseñe boak’ ama’ areo mb’andindimb’eoy ro hibalike manahake i nahaisaha’ areo aze nionjoñe mb’andikerañe eñey.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Aa le nibalike mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo iereo, boak’ami’ty vohitse atao Oliva, mañeva fañaveloan-tSabotse boake Ierosaleme.
13 And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
Ie nigodañe ao iereo le niañambone mb’ añ’ efetse ambone ami’ty nitobea’ i Petera naho Iakobe naho i Jaona naho i Andrea, i Filipo naho i Tomasy, i Bartolomeo naho i Matio, Iakobe ana’ i Alfeo naho i Simona Zelota, vaho i Jodasy ana’ Iakobe.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Ie nitraok’ ìna naho nitolom-pitalaho naho halaly miharo amo Rakembao naho i Marie rene’ Iesoà vaho o roahalahi’eo.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
Niongak’ añivo’ o rolongoo amy andro rezay t’i Petera (va’e zato tsy roapolo ty aman-tahinañe nifanontoñe ao) le nanao ty hoe:
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.
Ry longo, tsi-mete tsy niheneke i Sokitse Masiñe nitokie’ i Arofo Masiñey am-palie’ i Davide i Jodasy niaolo o nitsepake Iesoàoy.
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
Ie nivolilieñe aman-tika naho nandrambe anjara amo fitoroñañe zao.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
(Nahazoan-teteke indatiy amy tamben-tahi’ey, ie nitsirikoake naho niponake, vaho hene niforotrake o tsinai’eo.)
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, Field of Blood.
Nanitsike o mpimoneñe e Ierosaleme ao iabio izay vaho tinoka’ iereo ty hoe Akeldama i tonday ami’ty saontsi’ iareo, midika ty hoe: Tondan-dio.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
Toe nipatereñe amy boken-Tsaboy, ty hoe: Adono hangoakoake ty traño’e, tsy hiambesara’ ondaty ka, vaho: ho rambese’ ty ila’e i fehe’ey.
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Aa naho ondaty nirekets’ amantika amy ze hene andro niziliha’ i Iesoà Talè naho niakara’e amantika,
22 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
mifototse amy nampilipora’ i Jaonay pak’amy andro nandrambesañe aze aman-tikañeio; le raik’ amy rezay ty ho mpiaman-tika valolombelo’ i fitroara’ey.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Aa le nonjoñeñe roe: Iosefe atao Barsabasy (i Josto ty añaram-binta’e), naho i Matia;
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
vaho hoe iereo te nihalaly: Ry Iehovà, mpaharofoanañe ze kila arofo, atorò anay ty jinobo’o amo roe retoañe,
25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.
handrambesa’e anjara ami’ty fitoroñañe toy naho ty maha-Firàheñe, ie niola t’i Jodasy nivike mb’amy nevae’e ao.
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Aa le nanoa’ iareo tsato-piso naho nitsatoke amy Matia, ie ty nitovo’ i Firàheñe folo-raik’ amby rey.
