Acts 1
1 The first narrative, indeed, made I, concerning all things, O Theophilus, which Jesus began both to do and teach, —
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 when, having given command unto the apostles, whom through Holy Spirit 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 Unto whom he also presented himself alive, after he had suffered, by many sure tokens, throughout forty days making himself visible unto them, and speaking the things concerning 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 being in company with them he charged them, from Jerusalem, not to absent themselves, but—To abide around the promise of the Father which ye have heard of 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 Because, John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, in Holy Spirit shall be immersed, —after not many of these days.
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, began to question him, saying—Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto 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 He said unto them—It is not yours to get to know times or seasons which the Father hath put in 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 shall receive power when the Holy Spirit cometh upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and [in] all Judaea and Samaria and as far as the uttermost part of the land.
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 said these things, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes.
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 steadfastly into heaven as he was going his way, then lo! two men had taken their stand beside them, in white garments, —
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 also said—Men of Galilee! why stand ye looking into heaven? This Jesus who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye yourselves have gazed upon 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 returned they into Jerusalem, from a mountain called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem 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 entered, into the upper-story went they up, where remained behind—both 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 son 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 were giving constant attention with one accord unto the prayer, with [certain] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Bikuli den pia yanyenma ki taagi ki jaandi kaa cedi, bani bi puoba, leni Jesu na Maliyama leni Jesu waamu.
15 And, in these days, Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, —and there was a multitude of names, of one accord, about a 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 needful for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spake beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, —who became guide unto them who apprehended 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 that he had come to be reckoned among us and obtained the lot of this ministry.—
Judasa den tie ti siiga yua ki ta leni ti tuonyenli.
18 This man therefore had possessed himself of a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, —and falling headlong burst asunder in the midst, and forth gushed all his bowels;
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 unto all them who were dwelling in Jerusalem, so that that field was called, in their language, Akeldama, 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 encampment become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein! And—his overseership, let a different man take!
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 It is needful then that, of the men who companied with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out over 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 Beginning from the immersion by John until the day when he was taken up from us, that, a witness of his resurrection along with us, should one of these become.
Li tie tiladi ke bi siiga yendo n taani leni ti ki ya tiendi seedi ke Jesu fi bi tinkpiba siiga.
23 And they appointed 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, praying, they said—Thou Lord! observer of the hearts of all men! shew forth whom thou hast chosen, —of these two, one; —
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 place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas went aside, to go his way unto his own place.
ke wan tua Jesu tondo ki ya tugi o tugili li naa tuonli nni.
26 And they gave 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.
