Jesu Tondiba Tuona 1
1 Teofili li cincintili yua ke diani maadi yesu n cindi ki tieni yeni wan tundi yaala;
In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
2 Hali yeni ya daali k o bo doni poli pon
until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
3 Li puoli po yo k o bo teni wan bo lugidi yaaba a tuonsɔnba k o bo legidi bi nungi po o fala puolo po fuoŋanba paalu. Dana piina o tundi legidi bi nungi nni ki maadi u Tienu diema maama.
After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
4 B den ya cendi liebi o den yi yedi'b ki ban da fagidi yeni Jerusalemi ama ki nan da guudi bàa puoni u, nani wan bo maadi «i gbadi n maama ke»
And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
5 San bo wuuli hali yeni dinne yeni mi ñinma i ama yinba ba ti wuli yeni fuoŋanba li dana kan fagidi»
For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 Ban bo taani ya yogu ke bi bual'o: «badiciamo li yognu i ke a ba sieni Israheli diema aa?»
So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 K o maadi'bi «laa tie yin'bi ka bi bandi li yogu bii li tinbuali yua ke u Tienu bàa cuo yeni u paaceli.
Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
8 Ama i ba gaà u paaciamu ya yogu ke fuonŋanma ti ba cua yim n ba tua mini yeni Jerusalemi sieda siedanba, Jude yeni sanmaali kuli dogu nni yeni ki tinga n pan juodi naankani kuli.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 Yagu ke Jesu bo maadi'bi li bona kuli ki gbeni nani wan bo nua tanpoli yeni, k o doni k u tawaligbangu baa ki legini bi nunbina.
After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
10 Ban go bo da nua tanpoli ya yogu, ki nibilie nagini bi kani ki lani tiapiena.
They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
11 Bi bo maadi: «Yimi galile yaaba be cedi ki se lan kani ki nua tanpoli»
“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
12 Lani ki bi bo guani Jerusalemi Olife juali po yua kɔbi yeni Jerusalemi nani ban cuoni ya banli Sabbat daali.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
13 Ban bo pundi ke bi doni gu dietuagu po, ban bo tundi ki ye naani. li bo tie Piaali, San, Saaki, Andili, Filipi, Tuoma, Baatelemi, Maatio, Saaki Alife bijua, Siimo o jakagidiga, yeni Jude Saaki bijua.
When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
14 B bo taani tie nani nuyendo yeni ki taani jaani, yeni bi puobi, Maali Jesu naà yeni o waali.
With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
15 Li dani k Piaali bo fii o naataani siiga nni, bi bo tie nani 120, maadi.
In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
16 N naataani li bo tie buama yaali k u Tienu maama n tieni ki tii, nani fuoŋanma n bo yedi Daavidi ñɔba nni Juda po, yua bo waani jesu ke b cuo, o.
“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
17 Kelima o bo tie ti yua ke go bo baadi ti ñuadi li yaalidugu po.
He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
18 Dinne li nulo daa u kuanu yeni obiadma paadi, lan kani k o jiidi baa ke li yuli liidi, k o gbanandi yodi k o tugu nni bona kuli yadi.
(Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
19 Jerusalemi niba kuli bo ŋanbi bani li bonli ke b ji puni li kuanu li yeli bi danba maama nni “Hakeldama”, li niima n tie mi sɔma kuanu.
This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 Lan cedi ki li diani pisoma tila nni,”ŋaa mani k o kuanu n kpandi pabɔnli ke nulo n daa kua li kani. ke nutiani n gaa u yudandi sienu.
“For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
21 Li tie buami yaali ke bi niba yaabi bo ciani ti o badiciamo Jesu n bo ye ya yoguti siiga nni
Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Lan cili San ñinwulima ya caa ya daali k o bo ñani ti siiga nni yaabi bo tua siedanba o yiedima po yeni timi.
beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
23 Ke bi tieni nibalie liiga, Josefi ke yi'o Barsabas, k go yi'o Justus yeni Maatiasi.
So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
24 B bo jaandi ki maadi «fini o badiciamo yua bani yua kuli yantugu ŋan waani ti nibalie ne ŋan lugidi yua.
And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
25 Ke wan gaa li yiali u yaalidigu yeni u tienu tuonli ke Juda kan cɔlini ki nan ŋɔdi u sancelu.
to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
26 Ke bi tɔni tia tia ki lugidi Maatiasi k b ji bo cɔd'o ki pugni tuonsɔnba piigi n yendi yeni po.
Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
