Acts 1
1 The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
I lañonañe valoha’e nanoekoy, ry Teofily, ami’ty nifotora’ Iesoà nanao, naho nañòke
2 till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up,
pak’ amy andro nampionjonañe azey, ie fa nanoro o Firàheñe jinobo’e añamy Arofo Masiñeio.
3 to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign 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 together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he, ] 'Ye did hear of me;
Aa ie nifañaoñe le nafanto’e te tsy hiakats’ Ierosaleme fa handiñe i nampitaman-dRaey: i Jinanji’ areo amakoy.
5 because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit — after not many days.'
Nampilipotse an-drano t’i Jaona, fe halipotse amy Arofo Masiñey nahareo te heron-kerone.
6 They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, 'Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?'
Aa ie nifanontoñe le nañontanea’ iareo ty hoe: O Rañandria, Hampolie’o am’ Israele henaneo hao i fifeheañey?
7 and he said unto them, 'It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in 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 shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto 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 these things having said — they beholding — he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;
Ie nitsarae’e le nonjoneñe vaho rinambe’ ty rahoñe tsy ho am-pahaisaha’ iareo.
10 and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, 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 also said, 'Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the 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 did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath'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 came in, they went up to the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, 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 were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with 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 these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the same place was, as it were, an 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, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, 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 because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,
Ie nivolilieñe aman-tika naho nandrambe anjara amo fitoroñañe zao.
18 this one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,
(Nahazoan-teteke indatiy amy tamben-tahi’ey, ie nitsirikoake naho niponake, vaho hene niforotrake o tsinai’eo.)
19 and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that that place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, 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 hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and his oversight 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 'It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went 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, unto the day in which he was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of his rising again.'
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 set 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 having prayed, they said, 'Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two
vaho hoe iereo te nihalaly: Ry Iehovà, mpaharofoanañe ze kila arofo, atorò anay ty jinobo’o amo roe retoañe,
25 to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper 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 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.
