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,

¹I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which 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 that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;

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 also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern the kingdom of God;

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

⁴and, being assembled with [them], commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which [said he] ye have heard of 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 baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.

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, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest 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 to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in 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 will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end 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 having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], 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 as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,

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

¹¹who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have 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 they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called [the mount] of Olives, which is near 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 into [the city], they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude [the brother] 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 gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] 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 those days Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names [who were] together [was] 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 necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who 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 amongst us, and had received a part in this service.

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(This [man] then indeed got a field with [the] reward of iniquity, and, having fallen down headlong, burst 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 was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, 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 homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership.

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.)

²¹It is necessary therefore, that of the men who have assembled with us all [the] time in which the Lord Jesus came 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 until the day in which he was taken up from us, one of these should be 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 appointed two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who had been surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

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

²⁵to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place.

²⁶And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
