Acts 1
1 Nínú ìwé mi ìṣáájú, Teofilu, ni mo ti kọ ní ti ohun gbogbo tí Jesu bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ṣe àti kọ́
My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,
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.
after giving instruction through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom He had chosen, He was taken up to Heaven.
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.
He had also, after He suffered, shown Himself alive to them with many sure proofs, appearing to them at intervals during forty days, and speaking of the Kingdom of God.
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.
And while in their company He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father's promised gift. "This you have heard of," He said, "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 with water, but before many days have passed you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
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?”
Once when they were with Him, they asked Him, "Master, is this the time at which you are about to restore the kingdom of 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.
"It is not for you," He replied, "to know times or epochs which the Father has reserved 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.”
and yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and to the remotest parts 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 this, and while they were looking at Him, He was carried up, and a cloud closing beneath Him hid Him from 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.
But, while they stood intently gazing into the sky as He went, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,
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 said, "Galilaeans, why stand looking into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into Heaven will come in just the same way as you have seen Him going into Heaven."
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 the Oliveyard, which is near Jerusalem, about a mile off.
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.
They entered the city, and they went up to the upper room which was now their fixed place for meeting. Their names were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother 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 of these with one mind continued earnest in prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.
15 Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí ni Peteru sí dìde dúró láàrín àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn (iye àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ọgọ́fà)
It was on one of these days that Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren--the entire number of persons present being about 120--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.
"Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled--the prediction, I mean, which the Holy Spirit uttered by the lips of David, about Judas, who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17 Nítorí ọ̀kan nínú wa ni òun ń ṣe tẹ́lẹ̀, òun sì ní ìpín nínú iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ yìí.”
For Judas was reckoned as one of our number, and a share in this ministry was allotted to him."
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 having bought a piece of ground with the money paid for his wickedness he fell there with his face downwards, and, his body bursting open, he became disembowelled.
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.)
This fact became widely known to the people of Jerusalem, so that the place received the name, in their language, of Achel-damach, which means '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 Book of Psalms, "'Let his encampment be desolate: let there be no one to dwell there'; and "'His work let another take up.'
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.
"It is necessary, therefore, that of the men who have been with 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 His baptism by John down to the day on which He was taken up again from us into Heaven--one should be appointed to become a witness with us as to 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.
So two names were proposed, Joseph called Bar-sabbas--and 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
And the brethren prayed, saying, "Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show clearly which of these two Thou hast 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 occupy the place in this ministry and Apostleship from which Judas through transgression fell, in order to go to his own place."
26 Wọ́n sì dìbò fún wọn; ìbò sí mú Mattia; a sì kà á mọ́ àwọn aposteli mọ́kànlá.
Then they drew lots between them. The lot fell on Matthias, and a place among the eleven Apostles was voted to him.
