Esaamootkaat 1
1 Nga mongnook Thiophilas: Nga leedap phangkhoh adi Jisu phang mokata dowa ih rangmong ni maang toonsiit wandi tiimjih reeraangta nyia tiimjih nyootsootta
The first narrative, indeed, made I, concerning all things, O Theophilus, which Jesus began both to do and teach, —
2 erah ah raangtang. Jisu rangmong ni maang toonsiit wanka di, heh ih danjeeta heliphante loong asuh Esa Chiiala chaan tiit ah renbaat rumta.
Until the day when, having given command unto the apostles, whom through Holy Spirit he had chosen, he was taken up;
3 Heh tiita dowa ih sa rookbaji lini ething toomjat rum hang ngeh ih hedop hedop heliphante loong suh noisokta. Heliphante loong ih uh tup ih rumta, eno Rangte hasong tiit ah roongwaan rumta.
Unto whom he also presented himself alive, after he had suffered, by many sure tokens, throughout forty days making himself visible unto them, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.
4 Neng loong ah eroom ih khoontong rum adi arah jengdang ah baat rumta: “Jerusalem ah nak thiinhaat an, erah nang ebah ngah ih baat rum taha ranglakkot ah bansoktheng, seng Wah ih kot etheng ngeh ih kakhatta rah ah.
And being in company with them he charged them, from Jerusalem, not to absent themselves, but—To abide around the promise of the Father which ye have heard of me,
5 Joon ih juutem ah ju nawa ih tem tahan, enoothong rekam lidoh sen loong ah Esa Chiiala nawa ih tem han.”
Because, John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, in Holy Spirit shall be immersed, —after not many of these days.
6 Kaamwah loong ah Jisu damdi eroom ih chomui rumta doh, neng ih heh suh cheng rumta, “Teesu, hasong ah amadoh Ijirel suh ngaakkot nih uh?”
They, therefore, having come together, began to question him, saying—Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto Israel?
7 Jisu ih baat rumta, “Saapoot nyia rangwu ah seng Wah luulu ih jat ah erah mabah ang ah sen ih jatjih tah angka, hechaan hephaan khui ni thiinha.
He said unto them—It is not yours to get to know times or seasons which the Father hath put in his own authority;
8 Enoothong sen taangnah Esa Chiiala raaha doh, sen loong ah chaan aphaan pan ang an, eno sen loong ah Jerusalem nah, Judia nah, Samaria nah nyia hakong rookwet nah nga haaki ang an.”
But ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit cometh upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and [in] all Judaea and Samaria and as far as the uttermost part of the land.
9 Erah baat rumta lilih, heh rang ni toonsiit wan arah phansok rumta, eno neng miksoksok di jiimu ih loop wanta.
And having said these things, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes.
10 Toon soonwang kano neng mik ah rangko sokwan roh ih rumta, eno nyuh epu ah kap ano mih wanyi neng reeni dongchap haano
And, while they were looking steadfastly into heaven as he was going his way, then lo! two men had taken their stand beside them, in white garments, —
11 baat rumta, “Galiliite oh, rangko tiimjih sokwan lan? Jisu, sen re nawa rang ni toonsiit wanta, erah likhiikkhiik ih rang nawa ngaak raaha rah japtup an.”
Who also said—Men of Galilee! why stand ye looking into heaven? This Jesus who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye yourselves have gazed upon him going into heaven.
12 Erah lih adi heliphante loong ah Olip Kong dowa Jerusalem ni ngaakwang rumta, erah hah dowa meesiit chang angta.
Then returned they into Jerusalem, from a mountain called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s journey.
13 Erah hah adi thokrum ano neng tongta nok rangkhoh ko nokkhok adi duuwang rumta: Erah di langla, Pitar, Joon, Jeems nyia Andriu, Philip nyia Thomas, Bartholomi nyia Mathiu, Alphias sah Jeems, Deek akaan raangtaan laatte Simoon, nyia Jeems sah Judaas loong angta.
And, when they had entered, into the upper-story went they up, where remained behind—both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 Neng loong ah rangsoom raangtaan ih minuh loong nyia Jisu nuh Meeri erah damdi heh phoh nyia heh no loong damdi hepoot hepoot khoontong rumta.
These all were giving constant attention with one accord unto the prayer, with [certain] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 Saajombaji lidi chaasit rooknyi mih rangsoomte loong khoontong rum adi, Pitar toonchap ano jengta.
And, in these days, Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, —and there was a multitude of names, of one accord, about a hundred and twenty, —
16 Pitar ih liita, “Nga joonte loong, Esa Chiiala ih Dewid jeng thukta erah Rangteele ni raangha ah amiimi ih thok ha, Judaas ah Jisu jootkhak doh lamsiitte ang ah ngeh ih ah.
Brethren! It was needful for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spake beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, —who became guide unto them who apprehended Jesus;
17 Judaas ah sengdung dowa wasiit heh mootkaatte taat danjeeta.” (
For that he had come to be reckoned among us and obtained the lot of this ministry.—
18 Judaas ih marah lalangka lampo nawa biita ngun ih reta phek adi tiita, heh wok ah raapphok ano heh leh loong ah nuudat eta.
This man therefore had possessed himself of a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, —and falling headlong burst asunder in the midst, and forth gushed all his bowels;
19 Jerusalem ni songtongte loong ah ih erah japchaat rum ano, neng jenglam ih erah phek asuh Akeldama ngeh ih men rumta, erah langla “Sih Phek ngeh ah”)
And it became known unto all them who were dwelling in Jerusalem, so that that field was called, in their language, Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.—
20 “Rangsoom boong leedap ni raangha, ‘Heh nok ah ehu ih toom hoon ah; erah doh o uh naktoom tong ah.’ Amah uh raang eha, ‘Heh mootkaat ah o bah uh reeraang pakna toom ih ah.’
For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let his encampment become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein! And—his overseership, let a different man take!
21 “Erah thoidoh, seng damdoh o bah uh weeje etheng seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ngaaksaat tiit toombaatte ah. Enoothong erah mih ah langla sengdung dowa ang theng. Seng Teesu Jisu seng damdi saarookwet roongkhoom taha di roong mootkaatte dowa mih ang theng, Joon ih juutem Ruurang tumbaatta dowa ih Jisu rang ni toonsiit wanta di o thok roong khoomta erah mih ah ang theng.”
It is needful then that, of the men who companied with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out over us,
Beginning from the immersion by John until the day when he was taken up from us, that, a witness of his resurrection along with us, should one of these become.
23 Erah thoidi mih wanyi danje rumta: Josep, Barsabbas ngeh ih poon rumta ah (Justas ngeh ih uh li ih rumta), nyia Mathias ah.
And they appointed two, —Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Eno rangsoom koh rumta, “Teesu, an ih warep tenthun ah jat ehu, erah wanyi tung dowa o ah danje hu erah seng suh jatthuk he
And, praying, they said—Thou Lord! observer of the hearts of all men! shew forth whom thou hast chosen, —of these two, one; —
25 Judaas maako kaat theng angta kaat eta erah saklek ah an liphante raangtaan ih jatthuk he”
To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas went aside, to go his way unto his own place.
26 Eno nengnyi men o danje theng ah erah tootoon rumta, eno Mathias ah danje rumta, asih wasiit kaamwah loong damdi roong angtheng ngeh ah.
And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
