Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
Tewofila min den kpa diani ya tili nni n den togidi Jesu n den cili ki tiendi yaala ki go bangi yaala.
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;
Hali ki pundi ya daali ke o den doni tanpoli. Hali ke o daa doni, U Tienu fuoma yua paaciamu po, o den o den teni o ñoabona o tondiba wan den gandi yaaba.
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.
O fala puoli o den doagidi o yuli bipo ki fo ki waani ba yaa bonla n yaba ki tie seedi ke laa pia niama ke o ye ki maadi leni ba U Tiema maama fuuli.
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;
Dayenli wan den ye leni ba o den teni ba li ñoabonli ki yedi ba: yin da ña Jelusalema ama yin guudi baa n den niani ya ñoanianu yin den gbadi ke n maadi yaala ya maama.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Kelima Jan den batisi leni mi ñima ama yinba wani li kan cie danaba ke yi baa ba U Tienu fuoma yua ya batisima.
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Bi ŋoadikaaba n den taani, bi den buali o ki yedi: o diedo naani yaa yogunu n tie na yo ke I salele nibuolu ba goa ki diedi bi diema?
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
O den goa ki yedi ba: laa tie yinba ka n bandi baa n bili yaa yogini leni ya dana kelima wani oba ya bali po.
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.
Ama yi baa ba u paalu U Tienu fuoma yua ya jiidi yipo ya yogunu, yi baa tie n seedinba Jelusalema nni, Jude po, leni Samali kuli ŋali ki pundi ŋanduna banlu kuli.
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Jesu n den yedi yeni o den doni tonpoli ban se ki diidi ya yogunu, ku tawaligu den pigini o bi nuni po.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Wan den ca ya yogunu ke bi ŋoadikaaba se ki diidi tanpoli, jaba lie yaaba n yie ti tiapiendi bi yula bipo ki yedi ba:
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.
yinba Galikle yaaba be ya po ke yi se ki diidi tanpoli nanda? Wani Jesu yua n ñani yi siiga ki gedi tanpoli yeni baa goa ki cua nani yin la ke o ca maama.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Lani bi den jiidi Olife tiidi juali po ki guani Jelusalema. Li juali yeni leni Jelusalema banli den tie Kilo dajenbiyenga.
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.
Ban den pundi, bi den kua li dieli nni ki doni li dietuadili po ban den maani ki taagi naankani. Li den ti Pieli, Jan, Jaka leni Andile, Filipi, leni Toma, Batelemi, leni Matiyu, Alife bijua Jaka, leni Simono ban yi yua o yankuadaano, leni Jaka bijua Jude.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Bikuli den pia yanyenma ki taagi ki jaandi kaa cedi, bani bi puoba, leni Jesu na Maliyama leni Jesu waamu.
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, )
Laa dana nni Pieli den fi ki sedi o kpiiba siiga bani yaaba n den taani ki bua ki pundi niba kobiga n piilie ki yedi:
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.
n kpiiba li den tie tiladi ke i diani n kua, ke U Tienu fuoma yua n den tuodi ki maadi yaala Dafidi ñoabu nni n tieni. O den tuodi ki maadi Judasa maama. Wani yua n den gobidi yaaba n den n den cua ki cuo Jesu.
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
Judasa den tie ti siiga yua ki ta leni ti tuonyenli.
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.
O den da u kuanu leni wan den tieni mi biadima ki ba ya pani ki baa li kani ki tandi ke o siiga pudi ke o nuadi yayadi.
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.
Jelusalema yaaba kuli den bandi ke li tieni yeni ŋali ke bi yi laa kuanu bi maama nni Akelidema lani n tie mi soama kuanu.
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.”
Kelima li diani Pisominba tili nni: o diegu n tua diegbengu oba kuli n da go ye lienni ke nitoa mo n ga o tuonli.
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Kali yaaba n den yegi leni ti siiga ti diedo n den ye leni ti ya yogunu ki cili Jan n den batisi ya yogunu ki pundi ŋali wan n den ñani ti siiga ki doni tanpoli ya yogunu.
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.
Li tie tiladi ke bi siiga yendo n taani leni ti ki ya tiendi seedi ke Jesu fi bi tinkpiba siiga.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Bi den bili niba lie yela; Josefi ban go yi yua Basabasa ki go yi o Jusitusa.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Li yaa puoli bi den tieni jaandi n tie na: O diedo fini yua n bani nilo kuli pala waani ti bi naa niliediba siiga ŋan gandi yua,
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.
ke wan tua Jesu tondo ki ya tugi o tugili li naa tuonli nni.
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Bi den toani tiatia ke li baa Matiasa po, ke o taani leni bi piiga n dondiyendiba.
