使徒行传 1
1 提阿非罗啊，我已经作了前书，论到耶稣开头一切所行所教训的，
I have made the former treatise, O Theophilus, of al that Jesus began to doe and teach,
2 直到他借着圣灵吩咐所拣选的使徒，以后被接上升的日子为止。
Vntill the day that hee was taken vp, after that hee through the holy Ghost, had giuen commandements vnto the Apostles, whome hee had chosen:
3 他受害之后，用许多的凭据将自己活活地显给使徒看，四十天之久向他们显现，讲说 神国的事。
To whome also he presented himselfe aliue after that he had suffered, by many infallible tokens, being seene of them by the space of fourtie daies, and speaking of those thinges which appertaine to the kingdome of God.
4 耶稣和他们聚集的时候，嘱咐他们说：“不要离开耶路撒冷，要等候父所应许的，就是你们听见我说过的。
And when he had gathered them together, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but to waite for the promise of the Father, which sayde hee, yee haue heard of me.
5 约翰是用水施洗，但不多几日，你们要受圣灵的洗。”
For Iohn in deede baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost within these fewe daies.
6 他们聚集的时候，问耶稣说：“主啊，你复兴以色列国就在这时候吗？”
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdome to Israel?
7 耶稣对他们说：“父凭着自己的权柄所定的时候、日期，不是你们可以知道的。
And hee saide vnto them, It is not for you to know the times, or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his owne power,
8 但圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力，并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地，和撒马利亚，直到地极，作我的见证。”
But yee shall receiue power of the holy Ghost, when he shall come on you: and ye shalbe witnesses vnto me both in Hierusalem and in all Iudea, and in Samaria, and vnto the vttermost part of the earth.
9 说了这话，他们正看的时候，他就被取上升，有一朵云彩把他接去，便看不见他了。
And when he had spoken these things, while they behelde, he was taken vp: for a cloude tooke him vp out of their sight.
10 当他往上去，他们定睛望天的时候，忽然有两个人身穿白衣，站在旁边，说：
And while they looked stedfastly towarde heauen, as hee went, beholde, two men stoode by them in white apparell,
11 “加利利人哪，你们为什么站着望天呢？这离开你们被接升天的耶稣，你们见他怎样往天上去，他还要怎样来。”
Which also sayde, Yee men of Galile, why stande yee gasing into heauen? This Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, as yee haue seene him goe into heauen.
12 有一座山，名叫橄榄山，离耶路撒冷不远，约有安息日可走的路程。当下，门徒从那里回耶路撒冷去，
Then returned they vnto Hierusalem from the mount that is called the mount of Oliues, which is neere to Hierusalem, being from it a Sabbath daies iourney.
13 进了城，就上了所住的一间楼房；在那里有彼得、约翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力、多马、巴多罗买、马太、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、奋锐党的西门，和雅各的儿子犹大。
And when they were come in, they went vp into an vpper chamber, where abode both Peter and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartlemew, and Matthewe, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas Iames brother.
14 这些人同着几个妇人和耶稣的母亲马利亚，并耶稣的弟兄，都同心合意地恒切祷告。
These all continued with one accorde in prayer and supplication with the women, and Marie the mother of Iesus, and with his brethren.
15 那时，有许多人聚会，约有一百二十名，彼得就在弟兄中间站起来，
And in those dayes Peter stoode vp in the middes of the disciples, and sayde (nowe the nomber of names that were in one place were about an hundreth and twentie.)
16 说：“弟兄们！圣灵借大卫的口，在圣经上预言领人捉拿耶稣的犹大，这话是必须应验的。
Yee men and brethren, this scripture must needes haue beene fulfilled, which the holy Ghost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was guide to them that tooke Iesus.
17 他本来列在我们数中，并且在使徒的职任上得了一分。
For hee was nombred with vs, and had obteined fellowship in this ministration.
18 这人用他作恶的工价买了一块田，以后身子仆倒，肚腹崩裂，肠子都流出来。
He therefore hath purchased a field with the reward of iniquitie: and when he had throwen downe himselfe headlong, hee brast asunder in the middes, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 住在耶路撒冷的众人都知道这事，所以按着他们那里的话给那块田起名叫亚革大马，就是“血田”的意思。
And it is knowen vnto all the inhabitants of Hierusalem, in so much, that that field is called in their owne language, Aceldama, That is, the field of blood.
20 因为诗篇上写着，说： 愿他的住处变为荒场， 无人在内居住； 又说： 愿别人得他的职分。
For it is written in the booke of Psalmes, Let his habitation be void, and let no man dwel therein: also, Let another take his charge.
21 所以，主耶稣在我们中间始终出入的时候，
Wherefore of these men which haue companied with vs, all the time that the Lord Iesus was conuersant among vs,
22 就是从约翰施洗起，直到主离开我们被接上升的日子为止，必须从那常与我们作伴的人中立一位与我们同作耶稣复活的见证。”
Beginning from the baptisme of Iohn vnto the day that hee was taken vp from vs, must one of them bee made a witnesse with vs of his resurrection.
23 于是选举两个人，就是那叫做巴撒巴，又称呼犹士都的约瑟，和马提亚。
And they presented two, Ioseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Iustus, and Matthias.
24 众人就祷告说：“主啊，你知道万人的心，求你从这两个人中，指明你所拣选的是谁，叫他得这使徒的位分。这位分犹大已经丢弃，往自己的地方去了。”
And they praied, saying, Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen,
That he may take the roume of this ministration and Apostleship, from which Iudas hath gone astray, to goe to his owne place.
26 于是众人为他们摇签，摇出马提亚来；他就和十一个使徒同列。
Then they gaue foorth their lottes: and the lotte fell on Matthias, and hee was by a common consent counted with the eleuen Apostles.
