Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Ne osiepna Theofilo: E kitapa mokwongo ne andikoe gik moko duto mane Yesu otimo kendo opuonjo,
2 Until the day when he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
nyaka chop chiengʼ mane okawe motere e polo, bangʼ chiwo chik ni joote mane oseyiero kuom teko mar Roho Maler.
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Bangʼ kane osesande, ne onyisore en owuon ne jogi, kendo nochiwo ranyisi mangʼeny masiro ni ongima. Ne ofwenyorenigi kuom ndalo piero angʼwen ka owuoyo kuom pinyruodh Nyasaye.
4 And, being assembled with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard from me.
Chiengʼ moro achiel kane oyudo ochiemo kodgi, nowachonegi niya, “Kik uwuog Jerusalem, to rituru mich mane Wuonwa osingore ni nomiu, ma usewinja ka awuoyo kuome;
5 For John truly baptized in water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
nimar Johana nobatiso ji gi pi, to un bangʼ kinde manok ibiro batisou gi Roho Maler.”
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Kuom mano, kane gisechokore kaachiel, negipenje niya, “Ruoth, kindeni ema ibiro duogo pinyruoth e lwet jo-Israel koso?”
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Nodwokogi niya, “Ok en wachu mar ngʼeyo ndalo kata kinde ma Wuoro oseketo gi tekone owuon.
8 But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
To ubiro yudo teko ka Roho Maler obiro kuomu; kendo unubed joneno maga ei Jerusalem kendo ei Judea duto gi Samaria, kod tungʼ piny gi tungʼ piny.”
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Bangʼ wacho mano, nokawe motere e polo, mana ka ginene, kendo polo noime mi olalnegi, makoro ne ok ginyal nene.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Kane oyudo pod gichomo wengegi e polo, ka gingʼiyo kaka odhi, apoya nono, negipo ka ji ariyo morwako lewni marochere ochungʼ bathgi.
11 Who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this same Jesus, who is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Jogi nowachonegi niya, “Jo-Galili, angʼo momiyo uchungʼ ka ungʼiyo polo? Yesu owuon-ni, makoro osegol kuomu oter e polo, biro duogo kendo, mana kaka usenene kodhino.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
Bangʼ mano joote nowuok modok Jerusalem, ka gia ewi got miluongo ni Zeituni, ma en kama bor madirom kilomita achiel koa Jerusalem.
13 And when they had come in, they went into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Kane gichopo, negidhi nyaka kama negidakie, ei ot man malo ewi gorofa. Joma ne ni kanyo ne gin: Petro gi Johana, Jakobo gi Andrea; Filipo gi Thoma, Bartholomayo gi Mathayo, Jakobo wuod Alfayo, gi Simon ja-Zilote, kod Judas wuod Jakobo.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Giduto ne gin e achiel ka ginano e lamo, kaachiel gi mon moko, kod Maria min Yesu gi owete Yesu.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of the names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
E kindeno Petro nochungʼ e kind joma oyie (mane nyalo romo ji mia gi piero ariyo)
16 Men, brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.
mi nowachonegi niya, “Owetena, Ndiko nyaka ne chop kare, mana kaka Roho Maler nohulo chon gi dho Daudi, kuom Judas mane otelo ni joma nomako Yesu.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Chutho, Judas ne en achiel kuomwa, kendo en bende ne en-gi kare e tichwani.”
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
Judas nongʼiewo lowo gi pesa mane oyudo kuom richone, to kanyo ema noruomboree piny, kendo bund iye nobarore mi nyimbi iye opukore oko.
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; therefore that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
Ji duto mane ni Jerusalem nowinjo wachno, mine giluongo puodhono gi dhogi ni Akeldama, ma tiende ni, Puoth Remo.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and his office let another take.
Petro nodhi nyime kawacho niya, “Ondik e Kitap Zaburi kama: “‘Mad miechgi dongʼ gunda; ngʼato angʼata kik yiene dag e iye,’ kendo ondik niya, “‘Mad ngʼat machielo kaw tije.’
21 Therefore of these men who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Kuom mano, ber mondo wayier ngʼato achiel e kind joma osebedo kodwa, chakre kinde mane Ruoth Yesu ochako bedo kodwa nyaka chop kinde mane okawe e dierwa.
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
Ngʼatno nyaka bed ngʼat mane nitie chakre ndalo Johana Ja-batiso nyaka odiechiengʼ mane okaw Yesu ogol e dierwa. Nimar achiel kuom jogi nyaka bed janeno kuom chierne kaachiel kodwa.”
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Eka negichiwo nying ji ariyo: Josef miluongo ni Barsaba (ma bende niluongo ni Justo) kod Mathias.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen,
Bangʼe ne gilemo niya, “Ruoth, ingʼeyo chuny ji duto. Nyiswae kuom ji ariyogi ngʼat miseyiero
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
mondo okaw tich mar bedo jaote mane Judas ojwangʼo oweyo kane odhi kare mane ochanne.”
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Eka negigoyo ombulu, kendo ombulu nolwar kuom Mathias. Omiyo nomede kuom joote apar gachiel mamoko.
