1 Prvu sam knjigu, Teofile, sastavio o svemu što je Isus činio i učio
The former treatise (logos) have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 do dana kad je uznesen pošto je dao upute apostolima koje je izabrao po Duhu Svetome.
Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit (pneuma) had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 Njima je poslije svoje muke mnogim dokazima pokazao da je živ, četrdeset im se dana ukazivao i govorio o kraljevstvu Božjem.
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:
4 I dok je jednom s njima blagovao, zapovjedi im da ne napuštaju Jeruzalema, nego neka čekaju Obećanje Očevo “koje čuste od mene:
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, all of you have heard of me.
5 Ivan je krstio vodom, a vi ćete naskoro nakon ovih dana biti kršteni Duhom Svetim.”
For John truly baptized with water; but all of you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit (pneuma) not many days behind.
6 Nato ga sabrani upitaše: “Gospodine, hoćeš li u ovo vrijeme Izraelu opet uspostaviti kraljevstvo?”
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 On im odgovori: “Nije vaše znati vremena i zgode koje je Otac podredio svojoj vlasti.
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.
8 Nego primit ćete snagu Duha Svetoga koji će sići na vas i bit ćete mi svjedoci u Jeruzalemu, po svoj Judeji i Samariji i sve do kraja zemlje.”
But all of you shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit (pneuma) has come upon you: and all of you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 Kada to reče, bi uzdignut njima naočigled i oblak ga ote njihovim očima.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 I dok su netremice gledali kako on odlazi na nebo, gle, dva čovjeka stadoše kraj njih u bijeloj odjeći
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 i rekoše im: “Galilejci, što stojite i gledate u nebo? Ovaj Isus koji je od vas uznesen na nebo isto će tako doći kao što ste vidjeli da odlazi na nebo.”
Which also said, All of you men of Galilee, why stand all of you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as all of you have seen him go into heaven.
12 Onda se vratiše u Jeruzalem s brda zvanoga Maslinsko, koje je blizu Jeruzalema, udaljeno jedan subotni hod.
Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
13 I pošto uđu u grad, uspnu se u gornju sobu gdje su boravili: Petar i Ivan i Jakov i Andrija, Filip i Toma, Bartolomej i Matej, Jakov Alfejev i Šimun Revnitelj i Juda Jakovljev -
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode 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.
14 svi oni bijahu jednodušno postojani u molitvi sa ženama, i Marijom, majkom Isusovom, i braćom njegovom.
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 U one dane ustade Petar među braćom - a bijaše sakupljenog naroda oko sto i dvadeset duša - i reče:
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
16 “Braćo! Trebalo je da se ispuni Pismo što ga na usta Davidova proreče Duh Sveti o Judi koji bijaše vođa onih što uhvatiše Isusa.
Men and brethren, this scripture must essentially have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit (pneuma) by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 A Juda se ubrajao među nas i imao udio u ovoj službi.
For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 On, eto, steče predio cijenom nepravednosti pa se stropošta, raspuče po sredini i razli mu se sva utroba.
Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 I svim je Jeruzalemcima znano da se onaj predio njihovim jezikom zove Akeldama, to jest Predio smrti.
And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 Pisano je doista u Knjizi psalama: Njegova kuća nek opusti, nek ne bude stanovnika u njoj! Njegovo nadgledništvo nek dobije drugi!
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
21 Jedan dakle od ovih ljudi što bijahu s nama za sve vrijeme što je među nama živio Gospodin Isus -
Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 počevši od krštenja Ivanova pa sve do dana kad bi uzet od nas - treba da bude svjedokom njegova uskrsnuća.
Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 I postaviše dvojicu: Josipa koji se zvao Barsaba a prozvao se Just, i Matiju.
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Onda se pomoliše: “Ti, Gospodine, poznavaoče svih srdaca, pokaži koga si od ove dvojice izabrao
And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, which know the hearts of all men, show whether of these two you have chosen,
25 da primi mjesto ove apostolske službe kojoj se iznevjeri Juda da ode na svoje mjesto.”
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 Onda baciše kocke i kocka pade na Matiju; tako bi pribrojen jedanaestorici apostola.
And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
