Acts 1
1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
EN el primer tratado, oh Teófilo, he hablado de todas las cosas que Jesus comenzó á hacer, y á enseñar,
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
Hasta el dia en que, habiendo dado mandamientos por el Espíritu Santo á los apóstoles que escogió, fué recibido arriba:
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
A los cuales, despues de haber padecido, se presentó vivo con muchas pruebas indubitables, apareciéndoles por cuarenta dias, y hablándo[les] del reino de Dios.
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
Y estando juntos, les mandó que no se fuesen de Jerusalem, sino que esperasen la promesa del Padre, que oisteis, [dijo, ] de mí.
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Porque Juan á la verdad bautizó con agua, mas vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo no muchos dias despues de estos.
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
Entónces los que se habian juntado le preguntaron, diciendo: Señor, ¿restituirás el reino á Israel en este tiempo?
7 He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
Y les dijo: No toca á vosotros saber los tiempos ó las sazones que el Padre puso en su sola potestad:
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
Mas recibiréis la virtud del Espíritu Santo que vendrá sobre vosotros, y me seréis testigos en Jerusalem, y en toda Judéa, y Samaria, y hasta lo último de la tierra.
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Y habiendo dicho estas cosas, viéndolo ellos, fué alzado; y una nube le recibió, [y le quitó] de sus ojos.
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Y estando con los ojos puestos en el cielo entretanto que él iba, hé aquí dos varones se pusieron junto á ellos en vestidos blancos;
11 who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
Los cuales tambien les dijeron: Varones Galiléos, ¿qué estais mirando al cielo? este mismo Jesus que ha sido tomado desde vosotros arriba en el cielo, así vendrá como le habeis visto ir al cielo.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Entónces se volvieron á Jerusalem del monte que se llama del Olivar, el cual está cerca de Jerusalem camino de un Sábado.
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Y entrados, subieron al aposento alto, donde moraban Pedro, y Jacobo y Juan, y Andrés, Felipe, y Tomás, Bartolomé, y Mateo, Jacobo [hijo] de Alféo, y Simon Zelotes, y Judas [hermano] de Jacobo.
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Todos estos perseveraban unánimes en oracion y ruego, con las mujeres, y con María la madre de Jesus, y con sus hermanos.
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
Y en aquellos dias Pedro, levantándose en medio de los hermanos, dijo (y era la compañía junta como de ciento y veinte en número):
16 “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
Varones hermanos, convino que se cumpliese la escritura, la cual dijo ántes el Espíritu Santo por la boca de David, de Júdas, que fué guia de los que prendieron á Jesus.
17 For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
El cual era contado con nosotros, y tenia suerte en este ministerio.
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
Este pues adquirió un campo del salario de [su] iniquidad; y colgándose, reventó por medio, y todas sus entrañas se derramaron.
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
Y fué notorio á todos los moradores de Jerusalem: de tal manera que aquel campo es llamado en su propia lengua, Acéldama, que es, Campo de sangre.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
Porque está escrito en el libro de los Salmos: Sea hecha desierta su habitacion, y no haya quien more en ella: y tome otro su obispado.
21 “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Conviene, pues, que de estos hombres que han estado juntos con nosotros todo el tiempo que el Señor Jesus entró y salió entre nosotros,
22 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
Comenzando desde el bautismo de Juan, hasta el dia en que fué recibido arriba de [entre] nosotros, uno sea hecho testigo con nosotros de su resurreccion.
23 They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
Y señalaron á dos: á José, llamado Barsabás, que tenia por sobrenombre Justo, y á Matías.
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
Y orando, dijeron. Tú, Señor, que conoces los corazones de todos, muestra cuál escoges de estos dos.
25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
Para que tome el oficio de este ministerio, y del apostolado, del cual cayó Júdas por transgresion, para irse á su lugar.
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
Y les echaron suertes, y cayó la suerte sobre Matías; y fué contado con los once apóstoles.
