Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and 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 taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments 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 whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
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 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, says he, you have heard of 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 truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Porque Juan á la verdad bautizó con agua, mas vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo no muchos dias despues de estos.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Entónces los que se habian juntado le preguntaron, diciendo: Señor, ¿restituirás el reino á Israel en este tiempo?
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.
Y les dijo: No toca á vosotros saber los tiempos ó las sazones que el Padre puso en su sola potestad:
8 But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come on you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part 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 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, 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 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
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 Which also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.
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 returned they to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
Entónces se volvieron á Jerusalem del monte que se llama del Olivar, el cual está cerca de Jerusalem camino de un Sábado.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where stayed both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother 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 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, 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 And in those days Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
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 Men and brothers, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that 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 numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
El cual era contado con nosotros, y tenia suerte en este ministerio.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
Este pues adquirió un campo del salario de [su] iniquidad; y colgándose, reventó por medio, y todas sus entrañas se derramaron.
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; so as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, 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 desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his position as bishop let another take.
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 Why of these men which have companied with 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 that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be 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 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Y señalaron á dos: á José, llamado Barsabás, que tenia por sobrenombre Justo, y á Matías.
24 And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, which know the hearts of all men, show whether of these two you have chosen,
Y orando, dijeron. Tú, Señor, que conoces los corazones de todos, muestra cuál escoges de estos dos.
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, 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 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Y les echaron suertes, y cayó la suerte sobre Matías; y fué contado con los once apóstoles.
