Acts 1
1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Tewofila min den kpa diani ya tili nni n den togidi Jesu n den cili ki tiendi yaala ki go bangi yaala.
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.
Hali ki pundi ya daali ke o den doni tanpoli. Hali ke o daa doni, U Tienu fuoma yua paaciamu po, o den o den teni o ñoabona o tondiba wan den gandi yaaba.
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.
O fala puoli o den doagidi o yuli bipo ki fo ki waani ba yaa bonla n yaba ki tie seedi ke laa pia niama ke o ye ki maadi leni ba U Tiema maama fuuli.
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.
Dayenli wan den ye leni ba o den teni ba li ñoabonli ki yedi ba: yin da ña Jelusalema ama yin guudi baa n den niani ya ñoanianu yin den gbadi ke n maadi yaala ya maama.
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Kelima Jan den batisi leni mi ñima ama yinba wani li kan cie danaba ke yi baa ba U Tienu fuoma yua ya batisima.
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
Bi ŋoadikaaba n den taani, bi den buali o ki yedi: o diedo naani yaa yogunu n tie na yo ke I salele nibuolu ba goa ki diedi bi diema?
7 He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
O den goa ki yedi ba: laa tie yinba ka n bandi baa n bili yaa yogini leni ya dana kelima wani oba ya bali po.
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.”
Ama yi baa ba u paalu U Tienu fuoma yua ya jiidi yipo ya yogunu, yi baa tie n seedinba Jelusalema nni, Jude po, leni Samali kuli ŋali ki pundi ŋanduna banlu kuli.
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Jesu n den yedi yeni o den doni tonpoli ban se ki diidi ya yogunu, ku tawaligu den pigini o bi nuni po.
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Wan den ca ya yogunu ke bi ŋoadikaaba se ki diidi tanpoli, jaba lie yaaba n yie ti tiapiendi bi yula bipo ki yedi ba:
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.”
yinba Galikle yaaba be ya po ke yi se ki diidi tanpoli nanda? Wani Jesu yua n ñani yi siiga ki gedi tanpoli yeni baa goa ki cua nani yin la ke o ca maama.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Lani bi den jiidi Olife tiidi juali po ki guani Jelusalema. Li juali yeni leni Jelusalema banli den tie Kilo dajenbiyenga.
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.
Ban den pundi, bi den kua li dieli nni ki doni li dietuadili po ban den maani ki taagi naankani. Li den ti Pieli, Jan, Jaka leni Andile, Filipi, leni Toma, Batelemi, leni Matiyu, Alife bijua Jaka, leni Simono ban yi yua o yankuadaano, leni Jaka bijua Jude.
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.
Bikuli den pia yanyenma ki taagi ki jaandi kaa cedi, bani bi puoba, leni Jesu na Maliyama leni Jesu waamu.
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,
Laa dana nni Pieli den fi ki sedi o kpiiba siiga bani yaaba n den taani ki bua ki pundi niba kobiga n piilie ki yedi:
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.
n kpiiba li den tie tiladi ke i diani n kua, ke U Tienu fuoma yua n den tuodi ki maadi yaala Dafidi ñoabu nni n tieni. O den tuodi ki maadi Judasa maama. Wani yua n den gobidi yaaba n den n den cua ki cuo Jesu.
17 For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
Judasa den tie ti siiga yua ki ta leni ti tuonyenli.
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.
O den da u kuanu leni wan den tieni mi biadima ki ba ya pani ki baa li kani ki tandi ke o siiga pudi ke o nuadi yayadi.
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.’
Jelusalema yaaba kuli den bandi ke li tieni yeni ŋali ke bi yi laa kuanu bi maama nni Akelidema lani n tie mi soama kuanu.
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.’
Kelima li diani Pisominba tili nni: o diegu n tua diegbengu oba kuli n da go ye lienni ke nitoa mo n ga o tuonli.
21 “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Kali yaaba n den yegi leni ti siiga ti diedo n den ye leni ti ya yogunu ki cili Jan n den batisi ya yogunu ki pundi ŋali wan n den ñani ti siiga ki doni tanpoli ya yogunu.
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.”
Li tie tiladi ke bi siiga yendo n taani leni ti ki ya tiendi seedi ke Jesu fi bi tinkpiba siiga.
23 They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
Bi den bili niba lie yela; Josefi ban go yi yua Basabasa ki go yi o Jusitusa.
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
Li yaa puoli bi den tieni jaandi n tie na: O diedo fini yua n bani nilo kuli pala waani ti bi naa niliediba siiga ŋan gandi yua,
25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
ke wan tua Jesu tondo ki ya tugi o tugili li naa tuonli nni.
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
Bi den toani tiatia ke li baa Matiasa po, ke o taani leni bi piiga n dondiyendiba.
