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 book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to 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 in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
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.
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
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.
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 Joon ih juutem ah ju nawa ih tem tahan, enoothong rekam lidoh sen loong ah Esa Chiiala nawa ih tem han.”
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
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?”
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to 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 to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within 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 you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
9 Erah baat rumta lilih, heh rang ni toonsiit wan arah phansok rumta, eno neng miksoksok di jiimu ih loop wanta.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Toon soonwang kano neng mik ah rangko sokwan roh ih rumta, eno nyuh epu ah kap ano mih wanyi neng reeni dongchap haano
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
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, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
12 Erah lih adi heliphante loong ah Olip Kong dowa Jerusalem ni ngaakwang rumta, erah hah dowa meesiit chang angta.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
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.
When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, 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.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Saajombaji lidi chaasit rooknyi mih rangsoomte loong khoontong rum adi, Pitar toonchap ano jengta.
In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
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.
“Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
17 Judaas ah sengdung dowa wasiit heh mootkaatte taat danjeeta.” (
For he was counted with us, and received his portion in 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.
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
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”)
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The 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 habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
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.”
“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
23 Erah thoidi mih wanyi danje rumta: Josep, Barsabbas ngeh ih poon rumta ah (Justas ngeh ih uh li ih rumta), nyia Mathias ah.
They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called 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
They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 Judaas maako kaat theng angta kaat eta erah saklek ah an liphante raangtaan ih jatthuk he”
to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to 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.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
