¹Y finenana na sinangan, jutugue, O Teofilo, pot todo ayo sija, na si Jesus jatutujon fumatinas, yan mamanagüe.

¹The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

²Asta y jaane anae maresibe gui sanjilo, despues di munjayan jatago pot y Espiritu Santo y apostoles sija ni y inayegña:

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

³Ni ayo locue y jafanue nu güiya lalâlâ, anae munjayan mapinito pot y megae na señat, liniiñija cuarenta na jaane yan manguecuentos güinaja sija ni y mangaegue gui raenon Yuus:

³To 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.

⁴Ya mandaña yan sija, ya jatago sija na chañija fanjajanao Jerusalem, lao ujanangga y promesan y Tata ni y, ilegña, injingog guiya guajo:

⁴Being 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.

⁵Sa si Juan magajet na managpapange ni y janom: lao jamyo infanmatagpange ni y Espiritu Santo ti megae na jaane desde pago.

⁵ For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

⁶¶ Enao mina, ayo sija y mandaña, finaesen güe, ilegñija: Señot, malago jao unnatalo guato y raeno guiya Israel?

⁶Therefore when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”

⁷Ya güiya ilegña nu sija: Ti para jamyo intingo y jaane yan y tiempo sija, ni y pinelon y Tata gui ninasiñañaja.

⁷He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.

⁸Lao jamyo infanmanresibe y ninasiña anae si Espiritu Santo ufato gui jilo miyo: yan jamyo utestigojo sija, iya Jerusalem yan todo iya Judea yan Samaria, yan asta y uttimon y tano.

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.”

⁹Ya anae munjayan jasangan este na güinaja, mientras maaatan güe, machule güe gui sanjilo; ya y mapagajes rinesibe güe, guinen liniiñija.

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

¹⁰Ya anae maaatan fitme y langet, anae mapos güe, estagüe dos taotao na minagagon ápaca, manotojgue jijot guiya sija.

¹⁰While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,

¹¹Ni y ilegñija locue: Jamyo taotao Galilea, jafa na manotojgue jamyo ya inaatan julo y langet? este mismo si Jesus ni y maresibe gui sanjilo guinen iya jamyo para y langet, umamaela talo taegüijeja anae inlie güe jumanao para y langet.

¹¹who 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.”

¹²¶ Ayo nae sija manalo guato Jerusalem guinen y egso Olibo, ni y jijot Jerusalem, gui sabado na jaana na jinanao.

¹²Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

¹³Ya anae sija manjalom, manjanao julo gui sanjilo na cuarto anae mañasaga todos, si Pedro yan si Juan yan si Santiago yan si Andres yan si Felipe yan si Tomas yan si Bartolome yan si Mateo yan si Santiago lajin Alfeo yan si Simon Selote yan si Judas chelun Santiago.

¹³When 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.

¹⁴Estesija todo mañasagaja gui un jinasoja na tinaetae, yan manmangagagao fitme, yan y palo famalaoan sija yan si Maria nanan Jesus, yan y mañeluña lalaje sija.

¹⁴All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

¹⁵¶ Ya ayo sija na jaane, si Pedro tumojgue julo gui entalo y mañelo, ya y numeron y mandaña guaja siento y bente. Ya ilegña:

¹⁵In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,

¹⁶Lalaje an mañelo, nesesita umacumple este na tinigue ni y jasangan antes y Espiritu Santo gui pachot David pot si Judas ni umesgaejon ayo sija y cumone si Jesus.

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.

¹⁷Sa güiya estaba matufong guiya jita, yan guaja patteña güine na sinetbe.

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

¹⁸Este na taotao, mamajan un fangualuan ni y apas y tinaelayeña; ya japodong papa y mapta tiyanña, ya malagnos todo tilipasña.

¹⁸Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.

¹⁹Ya este matungo todo ni y mañasaga guiya Jerusalem; ya pot enao na mafanaan ayo na fangualuan ni y finoñija: Aqueldama, comequeilegña, Fangualuan jâgâ.

¹⁹It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’

²⁰Sa esta matugue gui leblon y Salmos: Polo ya y sagaña umayulang ya taya taotao sumagaye: ya y ofisioña otro chumule.

²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell therein;’ Psalm 69:25 and, ‘Let another take his office.’ Psalm 109:8

²¹Gui entalo estesija na taotao y mangachochongta todo y tiempo anae y Señot Jesus jumalom yan jumuyong guiya jita,

²¹“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

²²Matutujon guinen y tinagpangen Juan asta ayo na jaane anae maresibe gui sanjilo guinen iya jita, nesesita uno gui entalo sija umatancho testigo yan jita ni y quinajuluña.

²²beginning 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.”

²³Ya matancho dos, si José ni y mafanaan Barsabas ni y apiyiduña Justo, yan si Matias.

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

²⁴Ya manmanaetae ilegñija: Jago Señot ni y tumungo y corason y taotao todo, famanue jaye güine gui dos unayeg.

²⁴They prayed, and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

²⁵Para usaouao güine na sinetbe, yan y chechon apostoles anae si Judas ni y podong pot y tinaelayeña, ya güiya ujanao para y sagaña.

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

²⁶Ya manmanae ni y suertenñija; ya y suerte podong gui as Matias; ya güiya matufong gui onse na apostoles.

²⁶They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
