Acts 1
1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Nu sum, Theophilus: In book se luk meet ah, nga tuh simusla ma nukewa su Jesus el tuh oru ac luti nu sin mwet uh ke el mutawauk orekma lal
2 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.
nwe ke na sun len se ma tuh utukyak el nu inkusrao. Meet liki utukyak el, ke ku lun Ngun Mutal el sang kas lal nu sin mwet el tuh sulela in mwet sap lal.
3 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.
Ke lusen len angngaul tukun el misa, el tuh sikyang nu selos pacl na pus in ouiya su liksreni na akpwayei lah pwaye el sifil moulyak. Elos liyal, ac el kaskas nu selos ke Tokosrai lun God.
4 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.
Ac ke el srakna muta yorolos, el fahk sap soko inge nu selos: “Nimet som liki acn Jerusalem, a kowos in soano na mwe kite se su nga tuh fahk nu suwos, su Papa El wulela kac.
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
John el tuh baptais ke kof, a in len ekasrna fahsru, kowos ac fah baptais ke Ngun Mutal.”
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
Ke mwet sap elos tukeni nu yurin Jesus, elos siyuk sel, “Leum, ya kom ac folokonak tokosrai lun mwet Israel ke pacl se inge?”
7 He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pacl uh, ac ma ac orek uh, oakwuk ke ku lun Papa tumuk, ac tia ma lowos in etu lah ma inge ac sikyak ngac.
8 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.”
Tusruktu kowos ac fah eis ku ke Ngun Mutal ac tuku nu fowos, ac kowos ac fah mwet loh keik in acn Jerusalem, ac in acn Judea nufon, oayapa Samaria, ac nu in acn nukewa fin faclu.”
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Tukun el fahk ma inge tari, utukyak el nu inkusrao ye mutalos, na pukunyeng se kosralla lukelos.
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Elos srakna suiya acn lucng ke utukyak el ah, na mwet luo sikme welulosyang, nukum nuknuk na fasrfasr
11 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.”
ac fahk, “Mwet Galilee, efu kowos tu nget na nu lucng? Jesus se ma utukla liki kowos nu inkusrao inge, ac fah sifilpa foloko in lumah se na ma kowos liye el som nu inkusrao kac ah.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Na mwet sap elos folokla nu Jerusalem liki fineol Olive, su lusa oasr ke tafun mael.
13 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.
Elos folokla nu in siti uh, ac utyak nu in lohm se elos muta we ah: Peter, John, James ac Andrew, Philip ac Thomas, Bartholomew ac Matthew, James wen natul Alphaeus, Simon mwet Zealot, ac Judas wen natul James.
14 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.
Elos inge kwacna tukeni nu sie in pre, wi mutan uh, ac Mary nina kien Jesus, ac mukul wial ah.
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
In kutu len tok, un mwet lulalfongi elos toeni — sahp ac oasr mwet siofok longoul nufon — na Peter el tuyak in sramsram.
16 “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.
El fahk, “Mwet lili ac lulu, ac nuna akpwayeiyuk Ma Simusla se ma fahk ke Ngun Mutal tuh palye in kas lal David, ke ma ac sikyak kacl Judas, mwet se ma pwanulos su sruokilya Jesus ah.
17 For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
Judas el tuh sie sesr, ke sripen solla el in wi ipeis ke orekma se inge.”
18 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.
(Mani se ma Judas el tuh eis ke sripen ma koluk se ma el orala, el sang molela sie ipin acn. Acn sacna pa el tuh putatla ac misa we, ac sial fokelik ac koanonsial nufon raki.
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
Mwet nukewa su muta Jerusalem elos lohng ke ma inge, ouinge in kas lalos sifacna elos pangon ipin acn sac Akeldama, su kalmac pa “Acn Moulla ke Srah.”)
20 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.’
“Tuh simla in book in Psalm, ‘Lela lohm sel in pisinmala; Ac in wangin mwet muta we,’ Oayapa simla mu, ‘Lela siena mwet in eis orekma lal.’
21 “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
“Ke ma inge enenu na tuh sie sin mwet ma wi kut na fufahsryesr ke pacl Jesus el muta yorosr,
22 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.”
mutawauk na oe ke pacl ma John el tuh fahkak mwe luti lal ke baptais, nwe ke utukyak Jesus liki kut nu inkusrao. Mwet ouinge se pa enenu in wikutyang in orek loh ke moulyak lun Jesus Christ.”
23 They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
Ouinge elos sulela mwet luo: Joseph (su pangpang pac Barsabbas ku Justus), ac Matthias.
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
Na elos pre ac fahk, “O Leum, kom etu nunak lun mwet nukewa. Ke ma inge, ikasla nu sesr lah su sin mwet luo inge kom sulela
25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
in eis orekma lun mwet sap in aolul Judas, su som tari nu in acn fal nu sel.”
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
Tari na elos susfa ke mwet luo inge, ac oayang nu sel Matthias, su weang mwet sap singoul sie ah.
