Wiawia 1
1 MAIN Teopiluj, i wiadar tapin kajoi duen meakan, me Iejuj kotin tapiadar, duen a wiawia o kaukawewe karoj,
I have made the former treatise, O Theophilus, of al that Jesus began to doe and teach,
2 Lao lel ran en a peukedala mon a kotin kakalik on wanporon akan, me a kotin piladar ren Nen jaraui,
Vntill the day that hee was taken vp, after that hee through the holy Ghost, had giuen commandements vnto the Apostles, whome hee had chosen:
3 Me a pil kotin kajanjale on pein i ieiaj ki kilel melel toto murin a kalokolok o a pwara don irail ran paeijok o kapakaparokeki duen tiak en wein Kot.
To whome also he presented himselfe aliue after that he had suffered, by many infallible tokens, being seene of them by the space of fourtie daies, and speaking of those thinges which appertaine to the kingdome of God.
4 A ni a kotikot re’rail, a kotin kakalikion irail, ren der kowei jan Ierujalem, a ren auiaui, inau en Jam lao pwaidar, me komail rona jan ia er.
And when he had gathered them together, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but to waite for the promise of the Father, which sayde hee, yee haue heard of me.
5 Pwe Ioanej wia paptaij ki pil, a komail pan paptaij kila Nen jaraui ni eu ran me koren.
For Iohn in deede baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost within these fewe daies.
6 Irail lao pokon penaer, rap kalelapok re a potoan on: Main, anjau wet re pan kotin kapure don Ijrael wei o?
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdome to Israel?
7 A kotin majani on irail: Menda re omail, en aja anjau de auer, me Jam okila nan pein a manaman?
And hee saide vnto them, It is not for you to know the times, or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his owne power,
8 A komail pan ale manaman en Nen jaraui, me pan di po omail; komail ap pan ai jaunkadede kan nan Ierujalem, o ludaa pon o Jamaria, o lel won irepan jappa.
But yee shall receiue power of the holy Ghost, when he shall come on you: and ye shalbe witnesses vnto me both in Hierusalem and in all Iudea, and in Samaria, and vnto the vttermost part of the earth.
9 A lao majanier mepukat, ap peukedalar ni ar kankakil, pali en dapok pali idandalar i jan mon maj arail.
And when he had spoken these things, while they behelde, he was taken vp: for a cloude tooke him vp out of their sight.
10 Ni ar kilekilan nanlan, ni anjaun a kotidala, kilan, ol riemen mi nan likau pwetepwet, kotikot re’rail.
And while they looked stedfastly towarde heauen, as hee went, beholde, two men stoode by them in white apparell,
11 Me pil majani: ol en Kalilaa komail, da me komail jarakidan nanlan? lel Iejuj, me peukedala nanlan jan komail, a pan kotin puredo, duen komail udialer a kotidalar.
Which also sayde, Yee men of Galile, why stande yee gasing into heauen? This Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, as yee haue seene him goe into heauen.
12 Irail ap purelan lerujalem jan dol o, me ad a Oliwe, me koren ion lerujalem; a doo jan al en japat pot.
Then returned they vnto Hierusalem from the mount that is called the mount of Oliues, which is neere to Hierusalem, being from it a Sabbath daies iourney.
13 Irail lao kotilon on, ap kotidan nan pera poa, waja re kin kotikoteta, irail karoj: Petruj, o loanej, o Iakopuj, o anreaj, o Pilipuj, o Tomaj, o Partolomauj, o Matauj, o Iakopuj nain Alpiiuj, o Jimon Jelotej, o Iudaj ri en Iakopuj.
And when they were come in, they went vp into an vpper chamber, where abode both Peter and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartlemew, and Matthewe, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas Iames brother.
14 Mepukat karoj wiaki eu podidi on kapakap, li akai pil ian irail, o pil Maria in en Iejuj o ri a ol akan.
These all continued with one accorde in prayer and supplication with the women, and Marie the mother of Iesus, and with his brethren.
15 Ni ran oko Petruj ap uda nan pun en jaulan kan majani (irail me impan epukiriek)
And in those dayes Peter stoode vp in the middes of the disciples, and sayde (nowe the nomber of names that were in one place were about an hundreth and twentie.)
16 Ri ai kan, kijin likau en punala, me Nen jaraui kalokaia ki Dawid maj o iran Iudaj, me karedo, me jaikidi Iejuj oko.
Yee men and brethren, this scripture must needes haue beene fulfilled, which the holy Ghost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was guide to them that tooke Iesus.
17 Pwe a pil wadawad on kitail, er o aleer pwaij a dodok wet.
For hee was nombred with vs, and had obteined fellowship in this ministration.
18 Nan ol men et pwaine kidar pwain en a japun jap eu, a ni a dikaudi, ap lop pajan o kananan kaped a ap poie jan.
He therefore hath purchased a field with the reward of iniquitie: and when he had throwen downe himselfe headlong, hee brast asunder in the middes, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 Toun lerujalem karoj ajada met. Ari, jap o adanekila akeldama ni pein arail lokaia; iet wewe: Jap en nta.
And it is knowen vnto all the inhabitants of Hierusalem, in so much, that that field is called in their owne language, Aceldama, That is, the field of blood.
20 Pwe a intinidier nan puk en pjalm: Im a en lijelipinala o jolar, me pan kaujon lole, a amen me pan ale a koa.
For it is written in the booke of Psalmes, Let his habitation be void, and let no man dwel therein: also, Let another take his charge.
21 Ari, amen jan ren ol akan, me poden ian kitail er, ni anjau me Kaun Iejuj kotikot re atail,
Wherefore of these men which haue companied with vs, all the time that the Lord Iesus was conuersant among vs,
22 Jan ni muein paptaij en loanej kokodo lel ni ran o, me a kotin peukada jan kitail er, pan ian kitail wiala jaunkadede en a kotin iajada.
Beginning from the baptisme of Iohn vnto the day that hee was taken vp from vs, must one of them bee made a witnesse with vs of his resurrection.
23 Irail ari kileledi riamen: Iojep iei Parjapaj, me pil ad a Iojtoj o Matiaj.
And they presented two, Ioseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Iustus, and Matthias.
24 Irail ap kapakap majani: Main, ir me kotin mani monion en amen amen, re kotin kajanjaleda, ij me re kotin pilada ren me riamen et,
And they praied, saying, Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 Pwe i en ale pwaij a dodok wet o koa en wanporon, me Iudaj pupe jan, pwen kolan deu a.
That he may take the roume of this ministration and Apostleship, from which Iudas hath gone astray, to goe to his owne place.
26 Irail ap kadoropwada. A doropwa ko on Matiaj; i ari ian wadawad on wanporon ekamen oko.
Then they gaue foorth their lottes: and the lotte fell on Matthias, and hee was by a common consent counted with the eleuen Apostles.
