Oihana 1
1 U A hoonoho aku au, e Teopilo, i ka mooolelo mua, no namea a pau a Iesu i hoomaka'i e hana a e ao mai no hoi,
Dear Theophilus, in my previous book I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
2 A hiki i ka la i laweia'ku ai ia iluna, mahope o kana kauoha ana mai ma ka Uhane Hemolele i na lunaolelo ana i wae mai ai.
until the day he was taken up to heaven. This was after he'd given instructions through the Holy Spirit to his chosen apostles.
3 Hoike ola mai no oia ia ia iho ia lakou mahope o kona make ana, ma na hoailona hoike he nui loa, me ka ikeia e lakou i na la ho kanaha, a olelo mai no ia i na mea o ke aupuni o ke Akua:
Over the course of forty days after the death he suffered, he showed himself to them, proving that he was alive with convincing evidence. He appeared to them, and told them about the kingdom of God.
4 A i kona halawai ana me lakou, kauoha mai la oia ia lakou, aole e haalele ia Ierusalema, aka, e kali i ka ka Makua olelo hoopomaikai, a oukou i lohe ai ia'u.
While he was still with them he instructed them, “Do not leave Jerusalem. Wait to receive what the Father promised, just as you heard it from me.
5 No ka mea, ua bapetizo io no o Ioane me ka wai; aka, e bapetizoia no hoi oukou i ka Uhane Hemolele, mahope iho o na la aohe nui.
It's true that John baptized with water, but in just a few days' time you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.”
6 No ia mea, i ko lakou akoakoa ana, ninau aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, E ka Haku, e hoihoi mai anei oe i ke aupuni no ka Iseraela i keia wa?
So when the disciples met with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will re-establish Israel's kingdom?”
7 I mai la oia ia lakou, Aole ia oukou ka ike i na wa, a me na kau a ka Makua i waiho ai i kona mana iho.
“You don't need to know about the dates and times that are set by the Father's authority,” he told them.
8 Aka, e loaa no ia oukou ka mana, ke hiki mai ka Uhane Hemolele maluna iho o oukou; a e lilo auanei oukou i poe hoike no'u ma Ierusalema, a ma Iudea a pau, a ma Samaria, a hiki wale aku i ke kihi o ka honua.
“But you will be given power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest places on earth.”
9 A oki ae la kana olelo ana ia mau mea, e nana aku ana lakou, a laweia'ku la ia iluna; a na ke ao no ia i apo mai, mai ko lakou mau maka aku.
After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 A i ko lakou haka pono ana aku i ka lani, i kona pii ana, aia hoi, ku kokoke mai la me lakou na kanaka elua, me ka aahu keokeo;
While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them.
11 I mai la hoi laua, E na kanaka o Galilaia, no ke aha la oukou e ku nei e nana aku ana i ka lani? O Iesu nei, ka mea i laweia'ku nei i ka lani, mai o oukou aku nei, pela no ia e hoi hou mai ai e like me ka oukou ike ana aku ia ia e pii ana i ka lani.
“Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky?” they asked. “This same Jesus who has been taken up from you to heaven shall come in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”
12 Alaila, hoi aku la lakou i Ierusalema, mai ka mauna aku i kapaia o Oliveta, ua kokoke no ia i Ierusalema, o ko ka la Sabati hele ana.
Then the disciples went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives which is about a Sabbath day's walk from Jerusalem.
13 A komo lakou iloko, pii aku la, a iloko o kekahi keena maluna, malaila lakou i noho ai, o Petero, a me Iakobo, a me Ioane, a me Anederea, a me Pilipo, a me Toma, a me Baretolomaio, a me Mataio, a me Iakobo a Alepaio, a me Simona Zelote, a me Inda ka hoahanau no Iakobo.
When they arrived, they went upstairs to the upper room where they were staying: Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 Hoomau iho la lakou nei a pau i ka pule ana, a me ka nonoi aku, me ka lokahi o ka manao, o na wahine hoi kekahi, a me Maria, ka makuwahine o Iesu, a me kona poe hoahanau.
They all joined together in prayer, together with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and his brothers.
15 I ua mau la la, ku ae la o Petero iwaenakonu o na haumana, i mai la, (o ka nui o ko lakou inoa, hookahi haneri me ka iwakalua, )
At this time Peter stood up and addressed a crowd of around one hundred and twenty believers who had gathered together.
16 E na kanaka, na hoahanau, he mea pono e hookoia keia palapala a ka Uhane Hemolele i hai mai ai ma ka waha o Davida no Iuda, ka mea nana i alakai i ka poe i hopu ia Iesu.
“My brothers and sisters,” he said, “The Scriptures, spoken by the Holy Spirit through David, had to be fulfilled regarding Judas, who guided those who arrested Jesus.
17 No ka mea, ua helu pu ia oia me kakou, a loaa no hoi ia ia kekahi o neia oihana.
He was counted as one of us, and shared in this ministry.”
18 A kuai iho la ia i aina me ka uku no ka hewa; a haule iho la ia ilalo kona poo, nahae iho la iwaenakonu ona, a pahu aku la kona naau a pau iwaho.
(Judas had bought a field with his ill-gotten gains. There he fell down headfirst, and his body burst apart, spilling out all his intestines.
19 A ikea iho la ia mea e ka poe a pau e noho ana ma Ierusalema; nolaila ua kapaia'ku la ia aina, ma ka lakou olelo, Akeledama, o ke ano keia, O ka aina koko.
Everybody who lived in Jerusalem heard about this so that the field was called in their language “Akeldama,” which means, “Field of blood.”)
20 No ka mea, ua palanalaia ma ka buke Halelu, E lilo kona hale i neoneo, aole loa kekahi e noho ilaila; a, E lawe hoi kekahi i kana oihana.
As it's written in the book of Psalms, “Let his home be abandoned, and no-one live there;” and “Let someone else take over his position.”
21 Nolaila, o na kanaka i hele pu ai me kakou i na wa a pau loa a ka Haku, a Iesu i hele mai ai, a i hele aku ai iwaena o kakou,
“So now we have to choose someone who has been with us the whole time that Jesus was with us,
22 Mai ka hoomaka ana o Ioane e bapetizo ai, a hiki mai i ka la i laweia'ku ai ia mai o kakou aku, he mea pono e lilo kekahi o lakou i mea hoike pu me kakou i kona alahou ana mai.
from the time John was baptizing up until the day Jesus was taken up to heaven from us. One of these must be chosen to join together with us as we witness, giving evidence of Jesus' resurrection.”
23 Wae aku la lakou i elua, o Iosepa i kapaia o Baresaba, o Iouseto kekahi inoa ona, a me Matia hoi.
Two names were put forward: Joseph Justus, also known as Barsabbas, and Matthias.
24 Pule aku la lakou, i aku la, E ka Haku, ka mea ike i ka naau o na mea a pau loa, e hoike mai oe i ka mea o laua nei au e koho mai ai,
They prayed together and said, “Lord, you know everyone's thoughts please show us which of these two you have chosen
25 I lawe pu ia i kekahi o keia oihana, a me ko ka lunaolelo, mai ia wahi mai ko Iuda haule ana, i hele aku ia i kona wahi iho.
to replace Judas as an apostle in this ministry that he gave up to go to where he belongs.”
26 Hailona iho la lakou, a lilo ka hailona ia Matia; a helu pu ia iho la ia me na lunaolelo he umikumamakahi.
They cast lots, and Matthias was chosen. He was counted as an apostle with the other eleven.
