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

¹Theophilus, dem duma ande murhi pervo klishka pa sa le dieli kai O Jesus nachinaisardia te kerel ai te sicharel de anda gor,

²until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

²zhi ka dies kai gelotar ando rhaio, ai kai dia ordina katar O Swunto Duxo le apostlonge kai alosardiasas;

³To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:

³pala peske martia sikadilo lenge zhuvindo, ai sikadia lenge butivar ke zhuvindolo ke beshlo lensa shtarvardesh dies, ai delas duma lensa pal dieli le amperetsia le Devleski.

⁴and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [said he], ye heard from me:

⁴Andek dies kai sas lensa O Jesus phendia lenge, "Te na zhan anda Jerusalem, numa te azhukeren so lesko Dat shinadiasas lenge. Tume ashundian tumenge pe kadia.

⁵For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.

⁵Ke o Iovano boldia ando paiesa, numa tume pa xantsi dies avena bolde le Swuntone Duxosa."

⁶They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

⁶Kana le disipluria ai O Jesus sas andek than, won pushle les, "Devla, Kana si kadia vriama kai anesa palpale e amperetsia ka Israel?"

⁷And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority.

⁷O Jesus phendia lenge, "Nai tumendar te zhanen e vriama vai le diesa, ke ferdi O Dat si les e putiera te phenel kana kerdiol.

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

⁸Numa tume avena pherde putierasa kana O Swunto Duxo avela pe tumende, ai avena murhe marturia ande Jerusalem, ai ande sa Judea, ai Samaria, ai pe sa e lumia."

⁹And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

⁹Kana phendia kodo divano, O Jesus gelotar ando rhaio, andek nuvero angla lenge iakha.

¹⁰And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

¹⁰Ai sar dikhenas po cheri sar zhaltar O Jesus, eta, dui manush kai sas vuliarde ando parno sikadile lenge;

¹¹who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.

¹¹ai phende lenge, "Tume kai san anda Galilee, sostar dikhen po cheri? O Jesus kai sas lino tumendar ando rhaio avela palpale sakadia sar tume dikhlian les te zhaltar ando rhaio."

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

¹²Antunchi gele palpale ando Jerusalem anda E Plaiin le Maslinenge kai si pashai Jerusalem sar lel iek dies le Savatosko te zhal.

¹³And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas [the son] of James.

¹³Kana aresle, gele andek soba opre kai beshenas o Petri, o Iakov, ai o Iovano, ai o Andre, o Filip, ai o Thomas, o Bartholomew, ai o Mate, o Iakov o shav le Alphaeusosko, ai o Simon (o zealot), ai o Judas o shav le Iakovosko.

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

¹⁴Ai savo andek than rhuginas pe chachimasa, le zhuvliansa, ai e Maria e dei le Jesusoski, ai leske phral.

¹⁵And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons [gathered] together, about a hundred and twenty),

¹⁵Ai andek dies ande kodia vriama o Petri wushtilo opre mashkar le disiplonge, ai phendia, won sas chidine andek than sas iek shel ai bish,

¹⁶Brethren, it was needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.

¹⁶"Murhe phral, o ramomos trobulas te kerdiol, so O Swunto Duxo ande Vorba le Devleski phendiasas mai anglal katar o mui le Davidosko pa Judas, kai dia O Jesus ando lengo vas te astaren les.

¹⁷For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.

¹⁷O Judas sas mashkar amende, ke alosardiasas te kerel buchi amensa.

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

¹⁸Le lovensa kai dine les te purhisar O Jesus. O Judas chindia peske iek kimpo, ai amboldia pe o shero pervo, ai lesko stato pharhadilo mashkaral, ai sa lesko porha ankliste avri.

¹⁹And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)

¹⁹Sa o narodo anda Jerusalem ashunde so kerdilia, ai akharde kodole kimpos ande penge shib Acel'dama kodia znachil, O Kimpo le Ratesko.

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

²⁰Ke te si ramome andel Psalms, te kerdiol lesko kher sar iek pusta, ai "Te na beshel khonik ande kodo kher; ai aver manush te lel lesko than te kerel buchi."

²¹Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,

²¹"Trobul o manush te avel pala amende te avel marturo anda zhuvindimos le Jesusosko. Kodo manush trobul te avel iek ando kodola kai sas mashkar amende sagda kai O Jesus phirdia amensa,

²²beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection.

²²de katar e vriama kai o Iovano boldia les ai zhi ka dies kai O Jesus gelotar mashkar amendar ando rhaio.

²³And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

²³Andine le duien manushen, o Josef kai busholas Barsabbas, ai vi akharenas les Justus, ai o Matthias.

²⁴And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,

²⁴Ai rhugisaile ai phende, "Devla, tu kai zhanes sa le ile, savo anda kakala dui manush alosardian,

²⁵to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.

²⁵te len o than ande kadia buchi sar ek Apostle, o than kai o Judas meklia te zhal ka pesko than ke kerdia bezex."

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

²⁶Antunchi kerde vari so te alon iekes andel dui, ai o Matthias sas alome; ai thodinosas andel desh u iek disiplonsa.
