¹The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

¹Teofilus to rabila': Hi rala sura-ku to lomo' -na, oti-mi ku'uki' hawe'ea to nababehi pai' to napetudui' Yesus, ntepu'u ngkai lomo' pobago-na,

²Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

³duu' rata hi eo kara'ongkoa' -na hilou hi suruga. Ka'oti-na rapatehi pai' rapotuwu' nculii', wori' ngkani-i mpopehuwu woto-na hi suro-na, bona monoa' -mi ra'inca katuwu' -na nculii'. Rala-na opo' mpulu' eo, rahilo moto-i, pai' -i mpotudui' -ra beiwa patuju-na Alata'ala mpohore manusia' ngkai huku' jeko' -ra pai' mpopajadi' -ra ntodea-na hi rala Kamagaua' -na. Kako'ia-na me'ongko' hilou hi suruga, hante kuasa Inoha' Tomoroli' natu'u hawa' -na hi suro-na to napelihi-ramo toe.

³To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

⁴Rala-na hangkani, bula-na morumpu dohe-ra, nawai' -ra hawa' toi. Na'uli' -raka: "Neo' ulu nipalahii ngata Yerusalem. Popea ulu hi rei duu' -na Tuama-ku mpowai' -koi to najanci-mi, to ku'uli' -mikokoi mperi'ulu.

⁴And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

⁵Apa' Yohanes meniu' hante ue. Tapi' ba hangkuja eo-damo, raniu' -koi hante Inoha' Tomoroli'."

⁵For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

⁶Hangkani wo'o, nto'u suro-na morumpu hangkaa-ngkania hante Yesus, mepekune' -ra hi Yesus, ra'uli': "Pue', ba tempo toi-mi nubahaka-ta ngkai bali' -ta pai' -ko jadi' Magau' to Israel?"

⁶When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

⁷Na'uli' Yesus: "Tuama-ku moto to mponoa' ba nto'uma kadupa' -na hawe'ea patuju to napakatantu-mi hante kuasa-na. Uma mingki' ni'inca koi'.

⁷And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

⁸Sampale-di, mporata-koi mpai' baraka' ane hompo-ipi Inoha' Tomoroli' hi koi'. Nto'u toe mpai', koi' jadi' sabi' -ku hi Yerusalem, hi tana' Yudea pai' Samaria, duu' rata hi humalili' dunia'."

⁸But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

⁹Ka'oti-na mololita hewa toe, kate'oo-ongkoa' -imi hilou hi langi'. Mengoa' -ramo mpongoa' -i, duu' -na uma-ipi rahiloi apa' naleru limu' -imi.

⁹And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

¹⁰Bula-ra mengoa' -pidi hi langi' mponaa pe'ongko' -na, ria ncorobaa rodua tomane moheai pohea to mengea' mokore hi ncori-ra.

¹⁰And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

¹¹Ra'uli' to rodua toera: "Ee to Galilea! Napa pai' ntora mengoa' -koi hi langi'? Yesus to nihilo te'ongko' hilou hi suruga toei lou, wae wo'o-i mpai' nculii' tumai ngkai suruga hewa to nihilo-e we'i."

¹¹Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

¹²Ngkai ree, nculii' -ramo suro-na ngkai Bulu' Zaitun hilou hi Yerusalem. Bulu' Zaitun toe, ba hakilo kalaa-na ngkai Yerusalem.

¹²Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

¹³Karata-ra hi ngata, hilou-ramo hi tomi po'ohaa' -ra ngkahe' hilou hi kamar to hi lolo-na. Hanga' suro Pue' Yesus toera: Petrus, Yohanes, Yakobus pai' Andreas, Filipus pai' Tomas, Bartolomeus pai' Matius, Yakobus ana' Alfeus, Simon to Zelot, pai' Yudas ana' Yakobus.

¹³And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

¹⁴Hawe'ea-ra morumpu hangkaa-ngkania, pai' tida-ra mosampaya. Dohe-ra, ria wo'o ba hangkuja dua tobine, hante Maria tina-na Yesus pai' ompi' -ompi' -na Yesus.

¹⁴These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

¹⁵Rala-na ha'eo, ria ba ha'atu rompulu' -ra morumpu. Nto'u toe, mokore-imi Petrus hi laintongo' ompi' hampepangalaa' -na toera, pai' -i mololita, na'uli':

¹⁵And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

¹⁶"Ompi' -ompi', napa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli' kana madupa'. Owi hante wiwi Magau' Daud, Inoha' Tomoroli' mpolowa ami' -mi Yudas, to mpakeni tauna to mpohoko' Yesus.

¹⁶Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

¹⁷Yudas toei, doo-ta moto-i, pai' napo'ana'guru moto-i Pue' Yesus, hibalia hante kita'."

¹⁷For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

¹⁸(Yudas toei mpo'oli tana' hante doi to narata ngkai gau' -na to dada'a. Hi tana' to na'oli tohe'e, mate monawu' -i, mobenta ta'i tina-na, alaa-na ihi' rala-na malali omea.

¹⁸Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

¹⁹Hawe'ea pue' ngata Yerusalem mpo'inca omea to jadi' tohe'e. Toe pai' tana' tohe'e rahanga' hi rala basa-ra moto Hakal-Dama. Batua-na, Tana' Raa'.)

¹⁹And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

²⁰Na'uli' wo'o-mi Petrus: "Hi rala Buku Rona' Daud, ria lolita to mpolowa Yudas. Hewa toi moni-na: `Pelele' moto-miki-hawo po'ohaa' -na wao'. Neo' ria ba haduaa to mpo'ohai'.' `Agina huraa-nae na'ala' kahadua-na.'"

²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

²²Ngkai ree, napokaliliu Petrus lolita-na, na'uli': "Ompi' -ompi', toe pai' kana ria hadua ngkai olo' -ta tapelihi jadi' sabi' mpodohei-kai mposabii' katuwu' -na nculii' -mi Pue' Yesus. Tauna to tapelihi toe, kana hadua to biasa ami' -mi dohe-ta nto'u-na Pue' Yesus mako' hilou hiapa-apa hante kita', ntepu'u ngkai pobago-na Yohanes Topeniu' duu' rata hi kara'ongko' -nami Pue' -ta ngkai laintongo' -ta."

²¹Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

²³Ngkai ree, rodua tomane to ratudo'. Hanga' -na to hadua, Yusuf Barsabas, pai' to hadua Matias. (Yusuf toei, ria wo'o to mpohanga' -i Yustus.)

²²Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

²⁵Oti toe, mosampaya-ramo, ra'uli': "Pue', nu'inca omea nono tauna. Yudas, monawu' -imi-hana ngkai bago-na jadi' suro-nu, pai' -i rahuku' ntuku' -ki gau' -na. Toe pai' kiperapi' Pue', tudo' -kakai hema ngkai hira' to rodua tohe'ira to nupelihi-mi jadi' sampei-na."

²³And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

²⁶Oti-ramo mosampaya, ratene' -mi undi hewa pompenoa' -ra. To natudo' pompenoa' -ra toe, Matias. Jadi', ra'ongko' mpu'u-imi jadi' suro Pue' Yesus, bona hono' hampulu' rodua-ra hewa to lomo' -na.

²⁴And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

²⁵That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

²⁶And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
