Katwa Nono Katwa 1
1 Kutankardan nburne kurka nan wan jertin fimu, Theophilus, inbellen katuawa karka na Yesu wa su akuru a dursuzo,
The first account which I drew up, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught from the very first,
2 har kubi ko na iwa yirgye udumu kitene kane. Ulele wa di bayan urka na nono kaduro me nsere timap tirka na iba durtu na cara Ufunu Ulau nono kadura karka na fere.
down to that day on which he was taken up to heaven, after he had, by the help of the Holy Spirit, given instructions to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 Arka na awa durso litime nin lai bayaqn nipama iniu me. Ata ayiri akut anas ndursuzuani me, tutung incin nbeliani nbelen kilari tigo Kutelle.
With abundant proofs, he showed himself to them, still living, after his death; appearing to them from time to time during forty days, and speaking of all that related to the kingdom of God.
4 Kubi kona awa ligowe nanghinu, anin woro nanin “na wa cin nanya Urshalime ba. Bar nanin son ca, na alkawali Imba ulena ana su minu mu na mani Ufunu Ulau kutelle nama su, na ina malin lanzu kitiningya.
And once, when he had gathered them together, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the fulfillment of the Father’s promise – “that promise,” he said, “of which you have heard me speak;
5 Yohanna wa su ubaptizima nin mmen, nin kidun ninnayiru baat Kutelle ma suminu ubastizima nin Funu ulau.”
for, while John baptized with water, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit before many days have passed.”
6 Kubi ko na iwa zuro kiti kirum, i tiringye, ''Cikilari, kome kubiari uba kurtunu Kilari Ugo Kutenlle?''
So, when the apostles had met together, they asked Jesus this question – “Master, is this the time when you intend to re-establish the kingdom for Israel?”
7 A woroani, ''na ummunere iyini kubi nin kubiri kurka na Ucif kele bari likarame.
His answer was, “It is not for you to know times or hours, for the Father has reserved these for his own decision;
but you will receive power, when the Holy Spirit will have descended on you, and will be witnesses for me not only in Jerusalem, but throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 Daana abenle uliru une, amini wa fita cindu kitene kane, awut kitene kane wantina nanin iyenju Yesu ku, udu wulu nizi mine.
No sooner had Jesus said this than he was caught up before their eyes, and a cloud received him from their sight.
10 Dana anan nono katua wa din yenju udume kitene kane. Nya kube Among anit awa ba tin yisina kupopo mine nin na littuk aboo. Iwadi anan kadura Kutelleari.
While they were still gazing up into the heavens, as he went, suddenly two men, clothed in white, stood beside them,
11 Umong worum nin woro, “Anuyge anan Galili bar yangyari indin yenju kitene kane na iwa isin idin yenju kitene kane ba! Nlon liri Yesu ulele ulena Kutelle yira gye ama dak ule uye tutun. Abakpilu nannya ulele na iyenegye adin cinu udu kitene kane.”
and said, “People of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up into the heavens? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into the heavens, will come in the same way in which you have seen him go into the heavens.”
12 Da na nono kadura Kutenlle kpila, nonon bazu inliru kutenlle kpinlla u-Urshalima unzu Kupara Olives urka na uwa susut un-Urshalimae.
Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called Olivet, which is about three quarters of a mile from the city.
13 Da na isa, ighana ipira kuti kitene, kika iwa sosinku. Isan nnono kadure tone: Bitrus, Yohanna, Yakub, Andarawus, Filibos, Toma, Batamawus, Matta, Yakub usaun Haffa, Simon ku-zelot, and Yahuda usaun Yakub.
When they reached Jerusalem, they went to the upstairs room, where they were staying. There were there Peter, John, James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 Vat mine wa muna ati nafo warum inlira mu cancom. Nannya mine awani wa duku, Marayamu unan Isa nan nuane.
They all united in devoting themselves to prayer, and so did some women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 Nan nayirane Bulus nin fita nan nuana me anan yinnu sauye. Kubi kind anan dortu Yesu wadi anit likalt nin Na kuta bah kitene. Amino wa woro,
About this time, at a meeting of the Lord’s followers, when there were about a hundred and twenty present, Peter rose to speak.
16 “Linuana nin ton tipinpin wadi kitenen Yahuda tona ugo Dauda wa yerti, uworsu. To ti pipingye Na dak kidegenghe, barna Ufunu Ulauwe Na belin Dauda ku a yertin.
“Friends,” he said, “it was necessary that the prediction of scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit made by the lips of David about Judas, who acted as guide to the men who arrested Jesus,
17 Aworo nanin awadi gono kata Kutelle nafo arik, amino durso anan ni vira Yesu inanin wakifo imologhe.”
for he was one of our number and had his part allotted him in this work of ours.”
18 Nene unit une nase ukubu kitenen su ni vira ine Nin Nile ikube awa seru kunen. Amino wa diu kutin kika ne liburi me tutoo tijiye gonna ti nuzu udas timalakiti.
(This man had bought a piece of land with the price of his treachery; and, falling heavily, his body had burst open, and all his bowels protruded.
19 Vat anit na idin nanya Urshalima lanza yeri segye, inanin na yicila lisa kitene imin mmi nin tilem na aramik bar kitenere umon na kukuo.
This became known to everyone living in Jerusalem, so that the field came to be called, in their language, ‘Akeldama,’ which means the ‘Field of Blood.’)
20 Ame Bitrus nin kuro woro, “In na yene ilemon na ina se Yahudaku idi nafo na Maizaburana belin ari, “na kilarime ku vat, na iwa cin umon kilari meba.”' iminin yene tuo tipipinnye na Dauda na nyertin tidi kitene Yahudere: 'Na umon yiru kutet me.'”
“For in the book of Psalms,” Peter continued, “it is said – ‘Let his home become desolate, and let no one live in it’; and also – ‘His office let another take.’
21 Bara nanin ukamata ti fere ulena ama yiru kitu me (kutet Yahuda) ukamata unite di nan arik kubi kon Cikilari bite Yesu wa fere nari.
Therefore, from among the men who have been with us all the time that Jesus, our Master, went in and out among us –
22 Indian with tun kubi kana ame Yohana wa ti Yesu ku ubaptisema had udak kubi kana iwa hirigye Yesu ku kitene Kane. Unit ulena tima feru the AMA yitu ulena Ana yene Yesu ku kin nzime ayita nin lai nin kidun kulme.
from his baptism by John down to that day on which he was taken from us – someone must be found to join us as a witness of his resurrection.”
23 Barà nanin nono katua me nin gonna nin tisa anit a tiba. Umon lisame wadi Yusuf Barsabas, ulena Lisa me wadi tutun Justus. Unan ba wadi Matthias.
So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias;
24 Itaa nlira iworo, “Fe Cikilari, yiru nibinei nanit vat, durso nari nanya nawaba alele na ufere
and they offered this prayer – “Lord, who reads all hearts, show which of these two men you have chosen
25 ayiru kiti nanyan nkaa katawe na Yahuda nacin ana ti kulapi amini naduo kika na kiduogye.”
to take the place in this apostolic work, which Judas has abandoned, to go to his proper place.”
26 Inanin wa su mafeferu, Mathias leu ma feruferu amini wasuo urum nanya nanan kata Yesua.
Then they drew lots between them; and, the lot having fallen to Matthias, he was added to the number of the eleven apostles.
