Mwakuri 1:1-26
1 Ngkoe ae Teobiro, I a tia ni korea au moani boki are taekani bwaai ni kabane ake e moani karaoi Iesu ma n taekin n ana angareirei,+
2 ni karokoa te bong are e a uotakirake iai,+ ngke e a tia n angania abotoro ake e rineiia,+ taiani kaetieti rinanoni kairana n te taamnei ae raoiroi.
3 Imwini karawawataana, ao e kaoti nakoia n aaro aika kona ni kakoauaaki iai bwa e boni maiu.+ E noraki irouia i nanoni boong aika 40, ao e tataekina taekan ana Tautaeka n Uea te Atua.+
4 Ngke e botaki ma ngaiia ao e tua nakoia ae kangai: “Tai kitana Ierutarem,+ ma teimatoa n taningaa te baere e beritanna te Tama,+ are kam a tia n ongo irou,
5 bwa e boni bwabetito Ioane n te ran, ma ngkami kam na bwabetitoaki n te taamnei ae raoiroi+ tabebong mangkai.”
6 Ngaia are ngke a a manga botaki, ao a titirakinna ni kangai: “Te Uea, ko nangi manga kaoka te tautaeka n uea nakoia tibun Iteraera n te tai aei?”+
7 E taku nakoia: “Tiaki ami bwai te atai taai ke boong ake a motikaki, ake e tau mwia te Tama ni mwaakana.+
8 Ma ane kam na anganaki te mwaaka ngkana e roko i aomi te taamnei ae raoiroi,+ ao kam na riki bwa taani kakoaua+ ibukiu i Ierutarem+ ao i Iutaia ni kabanea, ao i Tamaria+ ao nakon taabo ake taiani kabanea n raroa n* te aonnaba.”+
9 Imwin taekinani baikai, ngke a tabe n tarataraia, ao e uotakirake ao e karabaa te nang mai mataia.+
10 Ao ngke a tararake nako karawa ngke e a tabe n nako, ao noria! a tei uoman mwaane aika bwaimainaina+ i rarikia,
11 ao a taku: “Mwaaneni Kariraia, e aera ngkai kam tei n tararake nako karawa? Iesu aei ae uotakirake mairoumi nako karawa, e na manga roko naba n aron ae kam noria n nakona nako karawa.”
12 A okira ngkanne Ierutarem,+ man te maunga ae aranaki bwa te Maunga ae Oriweta, ae kaan ma Ierutarem, ae tao teuana te kiromita raroana.*
13 Ngke a a roko ao a waerake nakon te ruu are i eta are a tiku iai. Naakai boni Betero n ikotaki ma Ioane ao Iakobo ao Anterea, Biribo ma Toma, Baretoromaio ma Mataio, Iakobo are natin Arebaio, ao Timon are ingainga nanona, ao Iuta are natin Iakobo.+
14 A bane naakai n teimatoa n tataro ma te kantaninga ae tii teuana ma aine+ tabeman, ao Maria are tinan Iesu, ma naake tarina.+
15 Ni boong akanne, ao e teirake Betero i buakoia taari, (mwaitiia* aomata ni kabane tao 120) ao e taku:
16 “Taari, e riai bwa e na kakororaoaki kibun te koroboki ae tabu, are e taetae ni burabetinna te taamnei ae raoiroi rinanon Tawita ni kaineti ma Iuta,+ are e a riki bwa te tia kairiia te koraki ake a taua Iesu.+
17 Bwa e warekaki Iuta i buakora+ ao e ibuokanibwai n te mwakuri ni minita aei.
18 (Ma e kabooa te aba te aomata aei n te mwane are reke imwin ana mwakuri ae buakaka,+ ao e bwaka n unika atuna ao e raeuaaki birotona ao a nnanako kanoannanona ni kabane.+
19 E a ataaki aei irouia kaain Ierutarem ni kabane, mangaia are e a aranaki te aba arei n aia taetae bwa Akeritama, ae “te Aba n Raraa.”)
20 Bwa e koreaki n te boki ae Taian Areru ni kangai, ‘Ke e kamaroaeaki ana tabo ni maeka, ao ke akea te tia maeka iai,’+ ao ‘Ke e anaa nakoana ni mataniwi te aomata temanna.’+
21 Mangaia are e riai n oneaki mwina iroun temanna i buakoia mwaane ake a bobotaki ma ngaira i nanon ana tai ni mwakuri* i buakora te Uea ae Iesu,
22 ni moa mani bwabetitoana iroun Ioane+ ni karokoa te bong are e a uotakirake iai mairoura.+ E riai n riki temanna mai buakoia mwaane aikai bwa raoraora ni kaotioti ibukini mangautin+ Iesu are e noria.”
23 Mangaia are a a rineiia uoman, ae Ioteba ae aranaki bwa Baretaba ae arana naba Ioutito, ao Matia.
24 Ao a tataro ni kangai: “Ngkoe ae Iehova* ae ko atai naano ni kabane,+ kaotia bwa antai ae ko rineia irouia naaka uoman aikai
25 ae e na anaa te mwakuri ni minita aei ao te nakoa n abotoro are e kitanna Iuta n touaanako oini kawaina.”+
26 Mangaia are a ukoukora te kanikina*+ mairoun te Atua ni kaineti ma antai ae riai n rineaki, ao e kaotaki nakoia bwa e riai n rineaki Matia, ao e a warekaki* i rarikia abotoro ake 11.
