Hechos 1
1 EN el primer tratado, oh Teófilo, he hablado de todas las cosas que Jesus comenzó á hacer, y á enseñar,
I indeed made the former treatise, O Theophilus, about all things that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Hasta el dia en que, habiendo dado mandamientos por el Espíritu Santo á los apóstoles que escogió, fué recibido arriba:
until a day in which he was taken up, having commanded, through the Holy Spirit, the apostles whom he chose,
3 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.
to whom he also presented himself living, after his suffering, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days, and speaking the things about the kingdom of God.
4 Y estando juntos, les mandó que no se fuesen de Jerusalem, sino que esperasen la promesa del Padre, que oisteis, [dijo, ] de mí.
And being assembled together, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, Which, he said, ye heard from me.
5 Porque Juan á la verdad bautizó con agua, mas vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo no muchos dias despues de estos.
Because John indeed immersed in water, but ye will be immersed in the Holy Spirit after not many of these days.
6 Entónces los que se habian juntado le preguntaron, diciendo: Señor, ¿restituirás el reino á Israel en este tiempo?
Indeed therefore having come together, they questioned him, saying, Lord, do thou restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?
7 Y les dijo: No toca á vosotros saber los tiempos ó las sazones que el Padre puso en su sola potestad:
And he said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father established in his own authority.
8 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.
But ye will receive the power of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you. And ye will be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and as far as of the extremity of the earth.
9 Y habiendo dicho estas cosas, viéndolo ellos, fué alzado; y una nube le recibió, [y le quitó] de sus ojos.
And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes.
10 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;
And while they were gazing at his going into the sky, behold, two men had also stood by them in white apparel,
11 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.
who also said, Men, Galileans, why stand ye gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will so come, in that same way as ye saw him going into the sky.
12 Entónces se volvieron á Jerusalem del monte que se llama del Olivar, el cual está cerca de Jerusalem camino de un Sábado.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem having a sabbath day journey.
13 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.
And when they came in, they went up into the upper floor where they were lodging, including, Peter and James and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
14 Todos estos perseveraban unánimes en oracion y ruego, con las mujeres, y con María la madre de Jesus, y con sus hermanos.
All these men were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Y en aquellos dias Pedro, levantándose en medio de los hermanos, dijo (y era la compañía junta como de ciento y veinte en número):
And in those days, Peter, having stood up in the midst of the disciples (and there was a multitude of names at the same place, about a hundred twenty), he said,
16 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.
Men, brothers, it was necessary for this scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus,
17 El cual era contado con nosotros, y tenia suerte en este ministerio.
because he was numbered with us, and received a share of this ministry.
18 Este pues adquirió un campo del salario de [su] iniquidad; y colgándose, reventó por medio, y todas sus entrañas se derramaron.
(Indeed therefore this man obtained a field from the reward of his unrighteousness, and having become headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
19 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.
And it became known to all those dwelling at Jerusalem, so as to call that field in their own dialect, Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)
20 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.
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation become desolate, and let no man be dwelling in it, and, Let another take his office.
21 Conviene, pues, que de estos hombres que han estado juntos con nosotros todo el tiempo que el Señor Jesus entró y salió entre nosotros,
It is necessary therefore, of the men who accompanied us during all the time during which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
22 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.
having begun from the immersion of John to the day that he was taken up from us, for one of these to become a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 Y señalaron á dos: á José, llamado Barsabás, que tenia por sobrenombre Justo, y á Matías.
And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Y orando, dijeron. Tú, Señor, que conoces los corazones de todos, muestra cuál escoges de estos dos.
And having prayed, they said, Thou, Lord, knowing the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou have chosen
25 Para que tome el oficio de este ministerio, y del apostolado, del cual cayó Júdas por transgresion, para irse á su lugar.
to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas transgressed to go to his own place.
26 Y les echaron suertes, y cayó la suerte sobre Matías; y fué contado con los once apóstoles.
And they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
