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

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

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

²till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up,

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.

³to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of God.

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.

⁴And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he,] `Ye did hear of me;

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

⁵because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit — after not many days.`

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

⁶They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, `Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?`

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.

⁷and he said unto them, `It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority;

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."

⁸but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.`

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

⁹And these things having said — they beholding — he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;

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

¹⁰and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel,

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."

¹¹who also said, `Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.`

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

¹²Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath`s journey;

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.

¹³and when they came in, they went up to the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, of James;

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

¹⁴these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

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,

¹⁵And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the same place was, as it were, an hundred and twenty,)

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.

¹⁶`Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,

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

¹⁷because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,

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.

¹⁸this one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,

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

¹⁹and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that that place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, field of blood,

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."

²⁰for it hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and his oversight let another take.

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,

²¹`It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,

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

²²beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day in which he was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of his rising again.`

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

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

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

²⁴and having prayed, they said, `Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two

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

²⁵to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;`

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

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