FALIMAHA RASUULLADA

Bilowga Kitaabkan

Te'ofilosow, hadalkii hore waxaan ka qoray wax kasta oo Ciise bilaabay inuu sameeyo oo baro ilaa maalintii sare loo qaaday isaga oo ka dambaysay wakhtiguu Ruuxa Quduuskaa ku amray rasuulladii uu doortay. Markuu xanuunsaday dabadeed, iyagii ayuu isagoo nool waxyaalo badan oo la hubo isugu muujiyey, oo muddo afartan maalmood ah ayuu iyagii u muuqday, oo kala hadlay waxyaalaha ku saabsan boqortooyada Ilaah. Oo intuu iyagii la shiray, ayuu wuxuu kula dardaarmay, oo ku yidhi, Yeruusaalem ha ka tegina, laakiinse suga ballankii Aabbaha oo aad iga maqasheen, waayo, runtii Yooxanaa wuxuu dadka ku baabtiisay biyo, laakiinse waxaa laydinku baabtiisi doonaa Ruuxa Quduuska ah maalmo aan badnayn dabadood.

Ciise Kor Buu U Baxay(A)

Sidaas daraaddeed markay isu yimaadeen, ayay weyddiiyeen isaga oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Rabbow, ma haddeer baad boqortooyada u soo celinaysaa Israa'iil? Markaasuu iyaga ku yidhi, Dantiinna ma aha inaad ogaataan wakhtiyada iyo xilliyada uu Aabbuhu amarkiisa kaga dhigay. Laakiinse waxaad heli doontaan xoog markii Ruuxa Quduuska ahi idinku soo dego; oo markhaatiyaal ayaad iiga noqon doontaan Yeruusaalem, iyo Yahuudiya oo dhan, iyo Samaariya, iyo meesha dunida ugu fog. Oo kolkuu waxyaalahaas yidhi dabadeed, iyagoo eegaya, ayaa sare loo qaaday isagii, oo daruur baa indhahoodii ka qarisay. 10 Oo intuu sii socday, iyagoo samada aad u fiirinaya, ayaa waxaa isa soo ag taagay laba nin oo dhar cadcad qaba, 11 oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Nimankiinan reer Galiliyow, maxaad la taagan tihiin oo aad samada u eegaysaan? Ciisahan samada laydiinka sare qaaday, sidaad u aragteen isagoo samada u socda oo kale ayuu u iman doonaa.

Rasuul Laba Iyo Tobnaad Baa La Doortay

12 Markaasay Yeruusaalem ku noqdeen iyagoo ka yimid buurtii Saytuun la odhan jiray, oo u dhowayd Yeruusaalem, oo u jirtay maalin sabtiyeed socodkeed. 13 Oo markay magaaladii galeen, waxay aadeen qolladdii sare, meeshay joogi jireen Butros iyo Yooxanaa iyo Yacquub iyo Andaros, iyo Filibos iyo Toomas, iyo Bartolomayos, iyo Matayos, iyo Yacquub ina Alfayos, iyo Simoon Qiiroleh, iyo Yuudas ina Yacquub. 14 Kuwaas oo dhammu, iyagoo isku wada qalbi ah, ayay ku sii adkaysteen tukasho, iyaga iyo dumarka, iyo Maryan oo ahayd Ciise hooyadiis, iyo walaalihiis.

15 Oo wakhtigaas ayaa Butros walaalaha dhexdooda istaagay (oo waxaa wada jiray dad badan oo qiyaastoodu ahayd boqol iyo labaatan); markaasuu yidhi, 16 Walaalayaalow, waxaa waajib ahaa in Qorniinku noqdo, kaas oo Ruuxa Quduuska ahu waagii hore afka Daa'uud kaga hadlay waxa ku saabsan Yuudas oo ahaa kii waday kuwii qabtay Ciise. 17 Maxaa yeelay, isaga waa laynagu tirshay, oo shuqulkan ayuu qaybtiisii helay. 18 Haddaba ninkaasu meel ayuu ku iibsaday abaalgudka xaqdarradiis; oo intuu madax madax u dhacay ayuu dhexda ka kala dillaacay, oo mindhicirkiisii oo dhammuna waa ka soo daatay. 19 Kolkaasaa kuwii Yeruusaalem joogay oo dhammu ay wada ogaadeen; sidaas daraaddeed meeshaas waxaa afkooda loogu bixiyey Akeldama, taas oo micneheedu yahay, meeshii dhiigga. 20 Waayo, waxaa kitaabkii Sabuurrada lagu qoray,

Gurigiisu cidla' ha noqdo,
Ninnana yuusan meeshaas degin;

iyo

Wakiilnimadiisa mid kale ha qabto.

21 Haddaba nimankii inala socday wakhti kasta intuu Rabbi Ciise ina soo dhex galay, inagana dhex baxay, 22 oo ka bilaabmay baabtiiskii Yooxanaa ilaa maalintii sare laynooga qaaday isaga, iyagii midkood waa inuu markhaati ina gala ahaado sarakiciddiisa. 23 Markaasay laba iska soo saareen, kuwaas oo ahaa Yuusuf oo la odhan jiray Barsabaas ee naanaystiisu ahayd Yuustos, iyo Matiyas. 24 Kolkaasay tukadeen oo yidhaahdeen, Rabbow, adigoo garanaya qalbiga dadka oo dhan, na tus labadan kaad dooratay, 25 inuu galo meeshii shuqulkan iyo rasuulnimadan oo Yuudas ka dhacay inuu meeshiisa tago. 26 Markaasay u saami riteen; saamigiina wuxuu ku dhacay Matiyas; oo isagana waxaa lagu daray koob-iyo-tobankii rasuul.

Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven

In my former book,(A) Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach(B) until the day he was taken up to heaven,(C) after giving instructions(D) through the Holy Spirit to the apostles(E) he had chosen.(F) After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them(G) over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.(H) On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait(I) for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.(J) For John baptized with[a] water,(K) but in a few days you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.”(L)

Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore(M) the kingdom to Israel?”

He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.(N) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;(O) and you will be my witnesses(P) in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,(Q) and to the ends of the earth.”(R)

After he said this, he was taken up(S) before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white(T) stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,”(U) they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back(V) in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas

12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem(W) from the hill called the Mount of Olives,(X) a Sabbath day’s walk[c] from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room(Y) where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.(Z) 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer,(AA) along with the women(AB) and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.(AC)

15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) 16 and said, “Brothers and sisters,[d](AD) the Scripture had to be fulfilled(AE) in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas,(AF) who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus. 17 He was one of our number(AG) and shared in our ministry.”(AH)

18 (With the payment(AI) he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field;(AJ) there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language(AK) Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

20 “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms:

“‘May his place be deserted;
    let there be no one to dwell in it,’[e](AL)

and,

“‘May another take his place of leadership.’[f](AM)

21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, 22 beginning from John’s baptism(AN) to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness(AO) with us of his resurrection.”

23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed,(AP) “Lord, you know everyone’s heart.(AQ) Show us(AR) which of these two you have chosen 25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” 26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.(AS)
