Acts 1
1 The first account which I drew up, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught from the very first,
Teofili li cincintili yua ke diani maadi yesu n cindi ki tieni yeni wan tundi yaala;
2 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.
Hali yeni ya daali k o bo doni poli pon
3 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.
Li puoli po yo k o bo teni wan bo lugidi yaaba a tuonsɔnba k o bo legidi bi nungi po o fala puolo po fuoŋanba paalu. Dana piina o tundi legidi bi nungi nni ki maadi u Tienu diema maama.
4 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;
B den ya cendi liebi o den yi yedi'b ki ban da fagidi yeni Jerusalemi ama ki nan da guudi bàa puoni u, nani wan bo maadi «i gbadi n maama ke»
5 for, while John baptized with water, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit before many days have passed.”
San bo wuuli hali yeni dinne yeni mi ñinma i ama yinba ba ti wuli yeni fuoŋanba li dana kan fagidi»
6 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?”
Ban bo taani ya yogu ke bi bual'o: «badiciamo li yognu i ke a ba sieni Israheli diema aa?»
7 His answer was, “It is not for you to know times or hours, for the Father has reserved these for his own decision;
K o maadi'bi «laa tie yin'bi ka bi bandi li yogu bii li tinbuali yua ke u Tienu bàa cuo yeni u paaceli.
8 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.”
Ama i ba gaà u paaciamu ya yogu ke fuonŋanma ti ba cua yim n ba tua mini yeni Jerusalemi sieda siedanba, Jude yeni sanmaali kuli dogu nni yeni ki tinga n pan juodi naankani kuli.
9 No sooner had Jesus said this than he was caught up before their eyes, and a cloud received him from their sight.
Yagu ke Jesu bo maadi'bi li bona kuli ki gbeni nani wan bo nua tanpoli yeni, k o doni k u tawaligbangu baa ki legini bi nunbina.
10 While they were still gazing up into the heavens, as he went, suddenly two men, clothed in white, stood beside them,
Ban go bo da nua tanpoli ya yogu, ki nibilie nagini bi kani ki lani tiapiena.
11 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.”
Bi bo maadi: «Yimi galile yaaba be cedi ki se lan kani ki nua tanpoli»
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called Olivet, which is about three quarters of a mile from the city.
Lani ki bi bo guani Jerusalemi Olife juali po yua kɔbi yeni Jerusalemi nani ban cuoni ya banli Sabbat daali.
13 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.
Ban bo pundi ke bi doni gu dietuagu po, ban bo tundi ki ye naani. li bo tie Piaali, San, Saaki, Andili, Filipi, Tuoma, Baatelemi, Maatio, Saaki Alife bijua, Siimo o jakagidiga, yeni Jude Saaki bijua.
14 They all united in devoting themselves to prayer, and so did some women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
B bo taani tie nani nuyendo yeni ki taani jaani, yeni bi puobi, Maali Jesu naà yeni o waali.
15 About this time, at a meeting of the Lord’s followers, when there were about a hundred and twenty present, Peter rose to speak.
Li dani k Piaali bo fii o naataani siiga nni, bi bo tie nani 120, maadi.
16 “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,
N naataani li bo tie buama yaali k u Tienu maama n tieni ki tii, nani fuoŋanma n bo yedi Daavidi ñɔba nni Juda po, yua bo waani jesu ke b cuo, o.
17 for he was one of our number and had his part allotted him in this work of ours.”
Kelima o bo tie ti yua ke go bo baadi ti ñuadi li yaalidugu po.
18 (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.
Dinne li nulo daa u kuanu yeni obiadma paadi, lan kani k o jiidi baa ke li yuli liidi, k o gbanandi yodi k o tugu nni bona kuli yadi.
19 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.’)
Jerusalemi niba kuli bo ŋanbi bani li bonli ke b ji puni li kuanu li yeli bi danba maama nni “Hakeldama”, li niima n tie mi sɔma kuanu.
20 “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.’
Lan cedi ki li diani pisoma tila nni,”ŋaa mani k o kuanu n kpandi pabɔnli ke nulo n daa kua li kani. ke nutiani n gaa u yudandi sienu.
21 Therefore, from among the men who have been with us all the time that Jesus, our Master, went in and out among us –
Li tie buami yaali ke bi niba yaabi bo ciani ti o badiciamo Jesu n bo ye ya yoguti siiga nni
22 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.”
Lan cili San ñinwulima ya caa ya daali k o bo ñani ti siiga nni yaabi bo tua siedanba o yiedima po yeni timi.
23 So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias;
Ke bi tieni nibalie liiga, Josefi ke yi'o Barsabas, k go yi'o Justus yeni Maatiasi.
24 and they offered this prayer – “Lord, who reads all hearts, show which of these two men you have chosen
B bo jaandi ki maadi «fini o badiciamo yua bani yua kuli yantugu ŋan waani ti nibalie ne ŋan lugidi yua.
25 to take the place in this apostolic work, which Judas has abandoned, to go to his proper place.”
Ke wan gaa li yiali u yaalidigu yeni u tienu tuonli ke Juda kan cɔlini ki nan ŋɔdi u sancelu.
26 Then they drew lots between them; and, the lot having fallen to Matthias, he was added to the number of the eleven apostles.
Ke bi tɔni tia tia ki lugidi Maatiasi k b ji bo cɔd'o ki pugni tuonsɔnba piigi n yendi yeni po.
