Acts 1
1 Dear Theophilus, in my previous book I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
MAING Teopilus, i wiadar tapin kasoi duen meakan, me Iesus kotin tapiadar, duen a wiawia o kaukawewe karos.
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.
Lao lel ran en a peukedala mon a kotin kakalik ong wanporon akan, me a kotin piladar ren Ngen saraui,
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.
Me a pil kotin kasansale ong pein i ieias ki kilel melel toto murin a kalokolok o a pwara dong irail ran paeisok o kapakaparokeki duen tiak en wein Kot.
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.
A ni a kotikot re’rail, a kotin kakaliki ong irail, ren der kowei sang Ierusalem, a ren auiaui, inau en Sam lao pwaidar, me komail ronga sang ia er.
5 It's true that John baptized with water, but in just a few days' time you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.”
Pwe Ioanes wia paptais ki pil, a komail pan paptais kila Ngen saraui ni eu ran me koren.
6 So when the disciples met with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will re-establish Israel's kingdom?”
Irail lao pokon penaer, rap kalelapok re a potoan ong: Maing, ansau wet re pan kotin kapure dong Israel wei o?
7 “You don't need to know about the dates and times that are set by the Father's authority,” he told them.
A kotin masani ong irail: Menda re omail, en asa ansau de auer, me Sam okila nan pein a manaman?
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.”
A komail pan ale manaman en Ngen saraui, me pan di po omail; komail ap pan ai saunkadede kan nan Ierusalem, o Iudäa pon o Samaria, o lel wong irepan sappa.
9 After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
A lao masanier mepukat, ap peukedalar ni ar kangkakil, pali en dapok pali idandalar i sang mon mas arail.
10 While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them.
Ni ar kilekilang nanlang, ni ansaun a kotidala, kilang, ol riamen mi nan likau pwetepwet, kotikot re’rail.
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.”
Me pil masani: Ol en Kaliläa komail, da me komail sarakidang nanlang? Iei Iesus, me peukedala nanlang sang komail, a pan kotin puredo, duen komail udialer a kotidalar.
12 Then the disciples went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives which is about a Sabbath day's walk from Jerusalem.
Irail ap purelang Ierusalem sang dol o, me ad a Oliwe, me koren iong Ierusalem; a doo sang al en sapat pot.
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.
Irail lao kotilong ong, ap kotidang nan pera poa, wasa re kin kotikoteta, irail karos: Petrus, o Ioanes, o Iakopus, o Andreas, o Pilipus, o Tomas, o Partolomäus, o Matäus, o Iakopus nain Alpäus, o Simon Selotes, o Iudas ri en Iakopus.
14 They all joined together in prayer, together with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and his brothers.
Mepukat karos wiaki eu podidi ong kapakap, li akai pil iang irail, o pil Maria in en Iesus o ri a ol akan.
15 At this time Peter stood up and addressed a crowd of around one hundred and twenty believers who had gathered together.
Ni ran oko Petrus ap uda nan pung en saulang kan masani (irail me impan epukiriek):
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.
Ri ai kan, kisin likau en pungala, me Ngen saraui kalokaia ki Dawid mas o iran Iudas, me karedo, me saikidi Iesus oko.
17 He was counted as one of us, and shared in this ministry.”
Pwe a pil wadawad ong kitail, er o aleer pwais a dodok wet.
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.
Nan ol men et pwaine kidar pwain en a sapung sap eu, a ni a dikaudi, ap lop pasang o kanangan kaped a ap poie sang.
19 Everybody who lived in Jerusalem heard about this so that the field was called in their language “Akeldama,” which means, “Field of blood.”)
Toun Ierusalem karos asada met. Ari, sap o adanekila akeldama ni pein arail lokaia; iet wewe: Sap en nta.
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.”
Pwe a intingidier nan puk en psalm: Im a en liselipingala o solar, me pan kauson lole, a amen me pan ale a koa.
21 “So now we have to choose someone who has been with us the whole time that Jesus was with us,
Ari, amen sang ren ol akan, me poden iang kitail er, ni ansau me Kaun Iesus kotikot re atail,
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.”
Sang ni muein paptais en Ioanes kokodo lel ni ran o, me a kotin peukada sang kitail er, pan iang kitail wiala saunkadede en a kotin iasada.
23 Two names were put forward: Joseph Justus, also known as Barsabbas, and Matthias.
Irail ari kileledi riamen: Iosep iei Parsapas, me pil ad a Iostos o Matias.
24 They prayed together and said, “Lord, you know everyone's thoughts please show us which of these two you have chosen
Irail ap kapakap masani: Maing, ir me kotin mangi mongiong en amen amen, re kotin kasansaleda, is me re kotin pilada ren me riamen et,
25 to replace Judas as an apostle in this ministry that he gave up to go to where he belongs.”
Pwe i en ale pwais a dodok wet o koa en wanporon, me Iudas pupe sang, pwen kolang deu a.
26 They cast lots, and Matthias was chosen. He was counted as an apostle with the other eleven.
Irail ap kadoropwada. A doropwa ko ong Matias; i ari iang wadawad ong wanporon ekamen oko.
