3 Now, afta Jesus wen suffa, he let da guys dat he wen pick see him, an he prove dat he stay alive fo real. He stay show up by dem fo forty days, an wen tell dem how everyting stay wen God stay King.
4 One time wen Jesus wen stay wit his guys, he tell dem, “No go way from Jerusalem, but wait ova hea till you guys get da Spirit my Fadda wen promise fo send. You guys wen hear me tell bout dat Spirit.

5 Befo time, John Da Baptiza Guy wen baptize peopo wit water, but pretty soon God goin baptize you guys diffren kine: he goin let his Spesho Spirit take charge a you.”

6 One time, da guys dat Jesus wen pick wen come togedda wit him, an dey aks him, “Boss, you goin come King now fo da Israel peopo, jalike had king befo time?”
7 He tell dem, “Not yoa kuleana fo know da time o da day da Fadda wen pick. He da One goin do dat. 8 But you guys goin get spesho kine power wen Godʼs Spesho Spirit take charge a you. An den you guys goin tell da peopo in Jerusalem wat you know bout me, an da peopo all ova Judea, Samaria, an all ova da world.”

9 Afta he wen say dat, God wen take him up in front dem, an den one cloud wen move unda him, so dey no can see him no moa.
10 Dey still stay looking in da sky real good wen he stay going, an right den an dea two guys wit white clotheses wen stand by dem.

11 Dey say, “You guys from Galilee, how come you stay standing hea an stay looking in da sky? Dis guy Jesus, God wen take him from you, up inside da sky. He goin come back da same way you wen see him go.”

Dey Pick One Guy Fo Take Judas Place

(Songs fo God 41:9; 69:25; 109:8)

13 Wen dey wen come, dey all go da place upstairs wea dey was staying. Had
Peter, John, James, an Andrew;
Philip an Thomas;
Bartolomew an Matthew;
Alfeus boy James, Simon da Jewish Sovereignty guy, an James boy Judas.

14 Plenny times dey all pray togedda, wit da wahines, an Jesus mudda Mary, an his bruddas.
15 Dat time had like hundred twenty peopo dat trus Jesus. Dey wen come togedda, an Peter wen stand up fo talk. 16 He say, “Bruddas an sistas, da Bible come true awready, an dass how gotta be. King David wen tell long time ago bout da guy Judas, cuz Godʼs Spesho Spirit wen tell David all dat. Judas, he da guy wen bring da guys dat bus Jesus, an wen show dem who him.

17 But Judas, he wen come from us guys an he wen work wit us.”
18 (Now, da guys dat like kill Jesus wen give Judas money fo da bad ting he goin do, an he wen go buy one field. But he wen fall down dea, an he bus open, an his guts all come out.

19 An everybody inside Jerusalem hear bout dat, so dey wen name da field “Akeldama,” dat mean “Blood Field.”)

20 An den Peter say, “David wen write down inside da Songs Fo God,
‘His place goin stay empty,
No let nobody stay dea.’
An David wen write too,
‘Let one nodda guy take his kuleana.’
21 “So, we gotta pick one guy dat wen stay wit us da whole time Jesus da Boss wen come an den go from us,

22 from da time John wen baptize him, till he go up to da sky. One a da guys gotta go wit us fo tell how Jesus wen come back alive again.”
23 So, dey pick two guys: Joseph, da guy dey name Barsabbas o Justus, an Mattias. 24 Den dey aks God fo help dem, an say, “Boss, you know how everybody stay inside. Show us da guy you wen pick from da two guys, 25 so he can work fo you an tell bout you, cuz Judas no stay. Judas wen go da place dass fo him.” 26 Den dey wen make jalike Jun Ken A Po kine, an Mattias wen win, so he wen come togedda wit da eleven guys dat Jesus wen send all ova.

Acts 1

1 The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,2 until 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:3 To 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:4 and, 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:5 For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.6 They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority.8 But 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.9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.10 And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;11 who 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.12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey off.13 And 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.14 These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.15 And 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),16 Brethren, 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.17 For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.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.19 And 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.)20 For 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.

21 Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,22 beginning 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.23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.26 And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
