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,

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

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.

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:

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.

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:

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

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:

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?"

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

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'.

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

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'."

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

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.

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.

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

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

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."

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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':

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

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.

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),

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

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.

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.

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

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'.)

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.

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.'"

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.)

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."

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.

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.)

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

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."

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.

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.

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

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

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