Acts 1
1 I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Primum quidem sermonem feci de omnibus, O Theophile, quæ cœpit Iesus facere, et docere
2 until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
usque in diem, qua præcipiens Apostolis per Spiritum Sanctum, quos elegit, assumptus est:
3 to 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;
quibus et præbuit seipsum vivum post Passionem suam in multis argumentis, per dies quadraginta apparens eis, et loquens de regno Dei.
4 and, 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.
Et convescens, præcepit eis ab Ierosolymis ne discederent, sed expectarent Promissionem Patris, quam audistis (inquit) per os meum:
5 For John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.
quia Ioannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto non post multos hos dies.
6 They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?
Igitur qui convenerant, interrogabant eum, dicentes: Domine, si in tempore hoc restitues regnum Israel?
7 And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;
Dixit autem eis: Non est vestrum nosse tempora vel momenta, quæ Pater posuit in sua potestate:
8 but 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.
sed accipietis virtutem supervenientis Spiritus Sancti in vos, et eritis mihi testes in Ierusalem, et in omni Iudæa, et Samaria, et usque ad ultimum terræ.
9 And having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Et cum hæc dixisset, videntibus illis, elevatus est: et nubes suscepit eum ab oculis eorum.
10 And as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,
Cumque intuerentur in cælum euntem illum, ecce duo viri astiterunt iuxta illos in vestibus albis,
11 who 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.
qui et dixerunt: Viri Galilæi, quid statis aspicientes in cælum? Hic Iesus, qui assumptus est a vobis in cælum, sic veniet quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in cælum.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called [the mount] of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off.
Tunc reversi sunt Ierosolymam a monte, qui vocatur Oliveti, qui est iuxta Ierusalem, Sabbati habens iter.
13 And 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.
Et cum introissent in cœnaculum, ascenderunt ubi manebant Petrus, et Ioannes, Iacobus, et Andreas, Philippus, et Thomas, Bartholomæus, et Matthæus, Iacobus Alphæi, et Simon Zelotes, et Iudas Iacobi.
14 These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Hi omnes erant perseverantes unanimiter in oratione cum mulieribus, et Maria matre Iesu, et fratribus eius.
15 And 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, )
In diebus illis exurgens Petrus in medio fratrum dixit (erat autem turba hominum simul, fere centum viginti):
16 Brethren, 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;
Viri fratres, oportet impleri Scripturam, quam prædixit Spiritus Sanctus per os David de Iuda, qui fuit dux eorum, qui comprehenderunt Iesum:
17 for he was numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this service.
qui connumeratus erat in nobis, et sortitus est sortem ministerii huius.
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.
Et hic quidem possedit agrum de mercede iniquitatis, et suspensus crepuit medius: et diffusa sunt omnia viscera eius.
19 And 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.)
Et notum factum est omnibus habitantibus Ierusalem, ita ut appellaretur ager ille, lingua eorum, Haceldama, hoc est, Ager Sanguinis.
20 For 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.
Scriptum est enim in libro Psalmorum: Fiat commoratio eorum deserta, et non sit qui inhabitet in ea: et episcopatum eius accipiat alter.
21 It 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,
Oportet ergo ex his viris, qui nobiscum sunt congregati in omni tempore, quo intravit et exivit inter nos Dominus Iesus,
22 beginning 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.
incipiens a baptismate Ioannis usque in diem, qua assumptus est a nobis, testem Resurrectionis eius nobiscum fieri unum ex istis.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who had been surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Et statuerunt duos, Ioseph, qui vocabatur Barsabas, qui cognominatus est Iustus: et Mathiam.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, knower of the hearts of all, shew which one of these two thou hast chosen,
Et orantes dixerunt: Tu Domine, qui corda nosti omnium, ostende, quem elegeris ex his duobus unum
25 to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place.
accipere locum ministerii huius, et apostolatus, de quo prævaricatus est Iudas ut abiret in locum suum.
26 And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Et dederunt sortes eis, et cecidit sors super Mathiam, et annumeratus est cum undecim Apostolis.
