Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
I lañonañe valoha’e nanoekoy, ry Teofily, ami’ty nifotora’ Iesoà nanao, naho nañòke
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
pak’ amy andro nampionjonañe azey, ie fa nanoro o Firàheñe jinobo’e añamy Arofo Masiñeio.
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:
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 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.
Aa ie nifañaoñe le nafanto’e te tsy hiakats’ Ierosaleme fa handiñe i nampitaman-dRaey: i Jinanji’ areo amakoy.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Nampilipotse an-drano t’i Jaona, fe halipotse amy Arofo Masiñey nahareo te heron-kerone.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Aa ie nifanontoñe le nañontanea’ iareo ty hoe: O Rañandria, Hampolie’o am’ Israele henaneo hao i fifeheañey?
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.
Hoe re tam’ iereo: Tsy anahareo ty hahafohiñe ty andro ndra o sa nalaha n-dRae amy fandilia’eio,
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 Judea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part 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 when he had spoken these things, 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 looked steadfastly towards heaven as he went up, behold, 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 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.
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 from Jerusalem 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 into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James [the son] of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, 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 and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
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 disciples, and said (the number of the names together were about a 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 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.
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 with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Ie nivolilieñe aman-tika naho nandrambe anjara amo fitoroñañe zao.
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.
(Nahazoan-teteke indatiy amy tamben-tahi’ey, ie nitsirikoake naho niponake, vaho hene niforotrake o tsinai’eo.)
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; so that that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The 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 desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and, His bishopric let another take.
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 Wherefore, of these men 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 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.
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 appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, 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, and said, 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 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, 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 gave forth their lots; 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.
