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,
My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,
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.
after giving instruction through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom He had chosen, He was taken up to Heaven.
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:
He had also, after He suffered, shown Himself alive to them with many sure proofs, appearing to them at intervals during forty days, and speaking of 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.
And while in their company He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father's promised gift. "This you have heard of," He said, "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.
For John indeed baptized with water, but before many days have passed you shall be baptized with 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?
Once when they were with Him, they asked Him, "Master, is this the time at which you are about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
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.
"It is not for you," He replied, "to know times or epochs which the Father has reserved within His own authority;
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.
and yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and to the remotest parts of the 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.
When He had said this, and while they were looking at Him, He was carried up, and a cloud closing beneath Him 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;
But, while they stood intently gazing into the sky as He went, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by 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.
who said, "Galilaeans, why stand looking into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into Heaven will come in just the same way as you have seen Him going 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 they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Oliveyard, which is near Jerusalem, about a mile off.
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.
They entered the city, and they went up to the upper room which was now their fixed place for meeting. Their names were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother 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.
All of these with one mind continued earnest in prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, 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, )
It was on one of these days that Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren--the entire number of persons present being about 120--and said,
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.
"Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled--the prediction, I mean, which the Holy Spirit uttered by the lips of David, about Judas, who acted as guide to 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.
For Judas was reckoned as one of our number, and a share in this ministry was allotted to him."
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.
(Now having bought a piece of ground with the money paid for his wickedness he fell there with his face downwards, and, his body bursting open, he became disembowelled.
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.
This fact became widely known to the people of Jerusalem, so that the place received the name, in their language, of Achel-damach, which means 'The 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.
"For it is written in the Book of Psalms, "'Let his encampment be desolate: let there be no one to dwell there'; and "'His work let another take up.'
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,
"It is necessary, therefore, that of the men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among 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.
beginning from His baptism by John down to the day on which He was taken up again from us into Heaven--one should be appointed to become a witness with us as to His resurrection."
23 Wae aku la lakou i elua, o Iosepa i kapaia o Baresaba, o Iouseto kekahi inoa ona, a me Matia hoi.
So two names were proposed, Joseph called Bar-sabbas--and surnamed Justus--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,
And the brethren prayed, saying, "Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show clearly which of these two Thou hast 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 occupy the place in this ministry and Apostleship from which Judas through transgression fell, in order to go to his own place."
26 Hailona iho la lakou, a lilo ka hailona ia Matia; a helu pu ia iho la ia me na lunaolelo he umikumamakahi.
Then they drew lots between them. The lot fell on Matthias, and a place among the eleven Apostles was voted to him.
