Orekma 1
1 Nu sum, Theophilus: In book se luk meet ah, nga tuh simusla ma nukewa su Jesus el tuh oru ac luti nu sin mwet uh ke el mutawauk orekma lal
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 nwe ke na sun len se ma tuh utukyak el nu inkusrao. Meet liki utukyak el, ke ku lun Ngun Mutal el sang kas lal nu sin mwet el tuh sulela in mwet sap lal.
Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 Ke lusen len angngaul tukun el misa, el tuh sikyang nu selos pacl na pus in ouiya su liksreni na akpwayei lah pwaye el sifil moulyak. Elos liyal, ac el kaskas nu selos ke Tokosrai lun God.
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 Ac ke el srakna muta yorolos, el fahk sap soko inge nu selos: “Nimet som liki acn Jerusalem, a kowos in soano na mwe kite se su nga tuh fahk nu suwos, su Papa El wulela kac.
And, being assembled together 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 of me.
5 John el tuh baptais ke kof, a in len ekasrna fahsru, kowos ac fah baptais ke Ngun Mutal.”
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 Ke mwet sap elos tukeni nu yurin Jesus, elos siyuk sel, “Leum, ya kom ac folokonak tokosrai lun mwet Israel ke pacl se inge?”
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pacl uh, ac ma ac orek uh, oakwuk ke ku lun Papa tumuk, ac tia ma lowos in etu lah ma inge ac sikyak ngac.
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own authority.
8 Tusruktu kowos ac fah eis ku ke Ngun Mutal ac tuku nu fowos, ac kowos ac fah mwet loh keik in acn Jerusalem, ac in acn Judea nufon, oayapa Samaria, ac nu in acn nukewa fin faclu.”
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 Tukun el fahk ma inge tari, utukyak el nu inkusrao ye mutalos, na pukunyeng se kosralla lukelos.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Elos srakna suiya acn lucng ke utukyak el ah, na mwet luo sikme welulosyang, nukum nuknuk na fasrfasr
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 ac fahk, “Mwet Galilee, efu kowos tu nget na nu lucng? Jesus se ma utukla liki kowos nu inkusrao inge, ac fah sifilpa foloko in lumah se na ma kowos liye el som nu inkusrao kac ah.”
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Na mwet sap elos folokla nu Jerusalem liki fineol Olive, su lusa oasr ke tafun mael.
Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
13 Elos folokla nu in siti uh, ac utyak nu in lohm se elos muta we ah: Peter, John, James ac Andrew, Philip ac Thomas, Bartholomew ac Matthew, James wen natul Alphaeus, Simon mwet Zealot, ac Judas wen natul James.
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 Elos inge kwacna tukeni nu sie in pre, wi mutan uh, ac Mary nina kien Jesus, ac mukul wial ah.
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 In kutu len tok, un mwet lulalfongi elos toeni — sahp ac oasr mwet siofok longoul nufon — na Peter el tuyak in sramsram.
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, ( the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
16 El fahk, “Mwet lili ac lulu, ac nuna akpwayeiyuk Ma Simusla se ma fahk ke Ngun Mutal tuh palye in kas lal David, ke ma ac sikyak kacl Judas, mwet se ma pwanulos su sruokilya Jesus ah.
Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 Judas el tuh sie sesr, ke sripen solla el in wi ipeis ke orekma se inge.”
For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 (Mani se ma Judas el tuh eis ke sripen ma koluk se ma el orala, el sang molela sie ipin acn. Acn sacna pa el tuh putatla ac misa we, ac sial fokelik ac koanonsial nufon raki.
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.
19 Mwet nukewa su muta Jerusalem elos lohng ke ma inge, ouinge in kas lalos sifacna elos pangon ipin acn sac Akeldama, su kalmac pa “Acn Moulla ke Srah.”)
And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 “Tuh simla in book in Psalm, ‘Lela lohm sel in pisinmala; Ac in wangin mwet muta we,’ Oayapa simla mu, ‘Lela siena mwet in eis orekma lal.’
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
21 “Ke ma inge enenu na tuh sie sin mwet ma wi kut na fufahsryesr ke pacl Jesus el muta yorosr,
Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 mutawauk na oe ke pacl ma John el tuh fahkak mwe luti lal ke baptais, nwe ke utukyak Jesus liki kut nu inkusrao. Mwet ouinge se pa enenu in wikutyang in orek loh ke moulyak lun Jesus Christ.”
Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 Ouinge elos sulela mwet luo: Joseph (su pangpang pac Barsabbas ku Justus), ac Matthias.
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Na elos pre ac fahk, “O Leum, kom etu nunak lun mwet nukewa. Ke ma inge, ikasla nu sesr lah su sin mwet luo inge kom sulela
And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 in eis orekma lun mwet sap in aolul Judas, su som tari nu in acn fal nu sel.”
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 Tari na elos susfa ke mwet luo inge, ac oayang nu sel Matthias, su weang mwet sap singoul sie ah.
And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
