< Acts 1 >

1 Dear Theophilus, in my previous book I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
Shiimetso Tewofloso! T mas'aaf shintsotse Iyesus b́ fintsonat b́danits jamo guut're. T guut'uwe Iyesus b́ fino dek'b́tuwortsoon tuut
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven. This was after he'd given instructions through the Holy Spirit to his chosen apostles.
Daro maantsan b́ tuuts aawo b́ borfetso b́ fintsoniyee, daro maantsan b́ tuwwere gal b́ dek'ts woshetswotssh b́ tzaziyo shayiri S'ayini weeron b́ imihakoniye,
3 Over the course of forty days after the death he suffered, he showed himself to them, proving that he was alive with convincing evidence. He appeared to them, and told them about the kingdom of God.
Ay gond bek'o dek't bí etiyak beyar beetk b́ wottsok'o kitsit weeron ayoto boosh b́ be'eyi, hab aawosh boats be'eyat Ik'i mengst jango boosh b́daniyi.
4 While he was still with them he instructed them, “Do not leave Jerusalem. Wait to receive what the Father promised, just as you heard it from me.
Bonton beyat b́móór hank'o ett boon b́ azazi, «Taa itsh t keewtsok'o nihokere itsh imosh jangiyetso korde'ere bako Iyerusalemitse keshk'ayere,
5 It's true that John baptized with water, but in just a few days' time you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.”
Yohanis aatsone b́gupi, itmo muk' aawoniye okoon shayiri S'ayinon gupetute.»
6 So when the disciples met with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will re-establish Israel's kingdom?”
Bowere ikoke ko'edek't bo befere, «Doonzono! n mengsto Isra'elsh aani n imet aawo andeya?» ett boaati.
7 “You don't need to know about the dates and times that are set by the Father's authority,” he told them.
Iyesusu hank'o ett boosh bí aaniyi, «Niho b́ took alon bí etts aawonat dúron it danosh falatste.
8 “But you will be given power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest places on earth.”
Ernmó shayiri S'ayino itats b́ oot'or ango daatsitute, manoor Iyerusalemn, Yhud dats jamatse, Semariyon, dats daar jamats b́ borfetso taash gawo wotitute.»
9 After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
Hank'owere bí etiyakon bo bek'fere daro maantsan k'az b́ tuwi, dawunonuwere bín dek't bo awatsere ááts b́k'ri.
10 While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them.
Bíwere daro maantsan b́ tuufere, boowere t'iwints dek't daromandan bo s'iilfere nas' taho tah dek'ts git ashuwots bo ganokere need' dek't,
11 “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky?” they asked. “This same Jesus who has been taken up from you to heaven shall come in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”
«It Galil ashuwotso, eegishe need'dek'at daromatsan it s'iliri? Daro maantsan b́ dek'efere it bek'ts Iyesus haniye, daro maantsan b́ tuufere it bek'tsank'on aanar weetuwe» bo eti.
12 Then the disciples went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives which is about a Sabbath day's walk from Jerusalem.
Maniyere hakon Debrezeyit gurats Iyerusalem maants k'azboaani, Debrezeyit guro Iyerusalematse sanbati aaw sha'ok'oyiye (ik kilometrok'oyiye).
13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the upper room where they were staying: 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.
Iyerusalemits waat bobeef mootse dambani k'aat'ots k'az bokeshi, boowere P'et'rosi, Yohansi, Yak'obi, Indriyasi, Filip'osi, Tomasi, Bert'elemiyosi, Matiwosi, Ilfyos naay Yak'obi, okooretso Simoonnat Yak'ob naay Yhudne.
14 They all joined together in prayer, together with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and his brothers.
Jametsanots úniaawo Ik' k'onosh ik nibona bokakuweefo, bontonuwere mááts ik ikuwotsnat Iyesus ind Mariyamn, mank'owere Iyesus eshuwots fa'ano botesh.
15 At this time Peter stood up and addressed a crowd of around one hundred and twenty believers who had gathered together.
Manoor P'et'ros bale hiyo wotitu amants ashuwots taalotse need'dek't hank'o bíeti,
16 “My brothers and sisters,” he said, “The Scriptures, spoken by the Holy Spirit through David, had to be fulfilled regarding Judas, who guided those who arrested Jesus.
«Ti eshuwotso, Iyesusi detsts ashuwotsi jishtso Yhud jangosh, shin shin shayiri S'ayino Dawit noonon b́ keewtso S'ayin mas'aafi aap' s'eeno geyituwe.
17 He was counted as one of us, and shared in this ministry.”
Yhud noyitsi iko wotat finan noonton finosh taaweytniye b́teshi.
18 (Judas had bought a field with his ill-gotten gains. There he fell down headfirst, and his body burst apart, spilling out all his intestines.
Ernmó ashaan b́ gond finon b́ daatsts gizmann datso keew b́dek'i, b́ baron diht gúp'unat b́ taalon kap'eyat bí anzro k'az b́keshi.
19 Everybody who lived in Jerusalem heard about this so that the field was called in their language “Akeldama,” which means, “Field of blood.”)
Keewanuwere Iyerusalemitse fa'a jamwotssh b́ daneyi, mansh datsmanúwere bo nooni keewon ‹Akeldama› et s'egeyi, b́ bitsonuwere ‹S'ats datsa› etee.
20 As it's written in the book of Psalms, “Let his home be abandoned, and no-one live there;” and “Let someone else take over his position.”
«Man b́ wottsonuwere dub mas'aafotse, ‹B́beyoko dats baash wotowe, Konuwor bíyats beek'aye, Aaninuwere b́ naashts naasho k'osh asho bíyatse de'ewutsowe› Ett guut't teshetsotsnee.
21 “So now we have to choose someone who has been with us the whole time that Jesus was with us,
«Eshe Doonzo Iyesus nodagotse bí ananori noonton towat teshtswotsitse,
22 from the time John was baptizing up until the day Jesus was taken up to heaven from us. One of these must be chosen to join together with us as we witness, giving evidence of Jesus' resurrection.”
Mank'o Yohans guproon tuut doonzo Iyesus daromaants b́ tuufetsi aawosh noonton teshtswotsitse ash iko noonton k'irotse tuwi jango gawo b́ woto geyituwe.»
23 Two names were put forward: Joseph Justus, also known as Barsabbas, and Matthias.
Maniyere hakon git ashuwotsi bo t'intsi, boowere Bersabasi wee Iyost'osi eteefo Yosefnat Matiyasna botesh.
24 They prayed together and said, “Lord, you know everyone's thoughts please show us which of these two you have chosen
Hank'o ettnuwere Ik'o bok'oni, «Ash jami nibo dants doonzono! Gitetsanotsitse nmarat'tso aawi b́ woto noosh kitsuwe,
25 to replace Judas as an apostle in this ministry that he gave up to go to where he belongs.”
Nok'onirwonwere Yhud b́ tookon k'az bíamori k'azb́k'rts wosheetsots finan de'er b́ shaato shegrshosh wotituwo noosh nkiitsishee.»
26 They cast lots, and Matthias was chosen. He was counted as an apostle with the other eleven.
It'onowere bo shap'i Matiyassh b́ keshi, Mansh bí tatse ik woshetswotsnton b́ taaweyi.
