Acts 1
1 Nínú ìwé mi ìṣáájú, Teofilu, ni mo ti kọ ní ti ohun gbogbo tí Jesu bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ṣe àti kọ́
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 títí ó fi di ọjọ́ tí a gbà á lọ sókè ọ̀run, lẹ́yìn tí ó ti ti ipa Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ pàṣẹ fún àwọn aposteli tí ó yàn.
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 Lẹ́yìn ìjìyà rẹ̀, ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn fún wọn àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹ̀rí tí ó dájú pé òun wà láààyè. Ó fi ara hàn wọ́n fún ogójì ọjọ́, ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ nípa ìjọba Ọlọ́run.
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 Ní àkókò kan bí ó sì ti ń jẹun pẹ̀lú wọn, ó pàṣẹ yìí fún wọn, “Ẹ má ṣe kúrò ní Jerusalẹmu, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ dúró de ìlérí tí Baba mi ṣe ìlérí, èyí tí ẹ̀yin tí gbọ́ lẹ́nu mi.
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 Nítorí Johanu fi omi bamitiisi yín, ṣùgbọ́n ní ọjọ́ díẹ̀ sí i, a o fi Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ bamitiisi yín.”
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6 Nítorí náà, nígbà tí wọ́n sì péjọpọ̀, wọn bi í léèrè pé, “Olúwa, láti ìgbà yí lọ ìwọ yóò ha mú ìjọba padà fún Israẹli bí?”
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Kì í ṣe tiyín ni láti mọ àkókò tàbí ìgbà tí Baba ti yàn nípa àṣẹ òun tìkára rẹ̀.
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin yóò gba agbára, nígbà tí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ bá bà lé e yín; ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí mi ni Jerusalẹmu, àti ní gbogbo Judea, àti ní Samaria, àti títí dé òpin ilẹ̀ ayé.”
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 Nígbà tí ó sì tí wí nǹkan wọ̀nyí, a gbà á sókè lójú wọn; ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ sì gbà á kúrò lójú wọn.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 Bí wọ́n sì ti tẹjúmọ́ ojú ọ̀run bí ó ti ń lọ sókè, lójijì, àwọn ọkùnrin méjì tí ó wọ aṣọ funfun dúró létí ọ̀dọ̀ wọn.
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin ara Galili, èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi dúró tí ẹ̀ ń wo ojú ọ̀run? Jesu yìí, tí a gbà sókè ọ̀run kúrò lọ́wọ́ yín, yóò padà bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ ti rí tí ó ń lọ sì ọ̀run.”
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 Lẹ́yìn náà ni wọ́n padà sí Jerusalẹmu láti orí òkè ti a ń pè ni olifi, tí ó tó ìwọ̀n ìrìn ọjọ́ ìsinmi kan.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 Nígbà tí wọn sì wọlé, wọn lọ sí iyàrá òkè, níbi tí wọ́n ń gbé. Àwọn tó wà níbẹ̀ ni: Peteru, Jakọbu, Johanu àti Anderu; Filipi àti Tomasi; Bartolomeu àti Matiu; Jakọbu ọmọ Alfeu, Simoni Sealoti, àti Judasi arákùnrin Jakọbu.
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 Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú àwọn obìnrin àti Maria ìyá Jesu àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ fi ọkàn kan dúró láti máa gbàdúrà.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí ni Peteru sí dìde dúró láàrín àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn (iye àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ọgọ́fà)
In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 ó wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin ará, ìwé mímọ́ kò lè ṣe kí ó má ṣẹ, èyí tí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ ti sọtẹ́lẹ̀ láti ẹnu Dafidi nípa Judasi, tí ó ṣe atọ́nà fún àwọn tí ó mú Jesu.
"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 Nítorí ọ̀kan nínú wa ni òun ń ṣe tẹ́lẹ̀, òun sì ní ìpín nínú iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ yìí.”
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 (Judasi fi èrè àìṣòótọ́ rẹ̀ ra ilẹ̀ kan; nígbà tí ó sì ṣubú ni ògèdèǹgbé, ó bẹ́ ní agbede-méjì, gbogbo ìfun rẹ̀ sì tú jáde.
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 Ó si di mí mọ̀ fún gbogbo àwọn ti ń gbé Jerusalẹmu; nítorí náà ni wọ́n fi ń pè ilẹ̀ náà ni Alkedama ní èdè wọn, èyí sì ni, Ilẹ̀ Ẹ̀jẹ̀.)
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
20 Peteru sì wí pé, “Nítorí a ti kọ ọ́ nípa rẹ̀ nínú Ìwé Saamu pé, “‘Jẹ́ ki ibùgbé rẹ̀ di ahoro, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe gbé inú rẹ̀,’ àti, “‘Ipò rẹ̀ ni kí ẹlòmíràn kí ó gbà.’
For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
21 Nítorí náà, ó di dandan láti yan ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí ti ń bá wa rìn ni gbogbo àkókò tí Jesu Olúwa ń wọlé, tí ó sì jáde láàrín wa.
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Bẹ́ẹ̀ láti ìgbà bamitiisi Johanu títí ó fi di ọjọ́ náà ti a gbe é lọ sókè kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wa. Ó yẹ kí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn wọ̀nyí ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí àjíǹde rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wa.”
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 Wọn sì yan àwọn méjì, Josẹfu tí a ń pè ní Barsaba (ẹni tí a sọ àpèlé rẹ̀ ni Justu) àti Mattia.
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Wọn sì gbàdúrà, wọn sì wí pé, “Olúwa, ìwọ mọ ọkàn gbogbo ènìyàn, fihàn wá nínú àwọn méjì yìí, èwo ni ìwọ yàn
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 kí ó lè gba ipò nínú iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ aposteli yìí, èyí tí Judasi kúrò nínú rẹ̀, ki òun kí ó lè lọ sí ipò ti ara rẹ̀.”
to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
26 Wọ́n sì dìbò fún wọn; ìbò sí mú Mattia; a sì kà á mọ́ àwọn aposteli mọ́kànlá.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
