Acts 1
1 In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
Oma varasemas raamatus, Teofilos, ma kirjutasin kõigest, mida Jeesus hakkas tegema ja õpetama,
2 until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
kuni selle päevani, mil ta võeti taevasse pärast seda, kui ta oma väljavalitud apostlitele oli Püha Vaimu läbi andnud korraldusi.
3 After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
Pärast oma kannatusi näitas ta end nendele elavana ja tegi seda veenvalt. Ta ilmus neile neljakümne päeva jooksul ja kõneles Jumala Kuningriigist.
4 And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
Ühel korral, kui ta koos nendega sõi, andis ta neile käsu: „Ärge lahkuge Jeruusalemmast, vaid oodake mu Isa tõotust, millest te olete minult kuulnud.
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Sest Johannes ristis veega, aga mõne päeva pärast ristitakse teid Püha Vaimuga.“
6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Kui nad jälle kokku tulid, küsisid nad temalt: „Issand, kas sa sel ajal taastad Iisraeli kuningriigi?“
7 Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
Ta vastas: „Teile ei ole teada antud aegu ja ajastuid, mis Isa on oma meelevallas määranud.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Aga te saate Püha Vaimu väe, kes tuleb teie peale, ja peate olema minu tunnistajad Jeruusalemmas ja kõigel Juuda- ja Samaariamaal ja maailma otsani!“
9 After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
Kui ta seda oli öelnud, võeti ta nende nähes üles ja pilv varjas ta nende silme eest.
10 They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
Kui nad üksisilmi taevasse vaatasid tema lahkumist, ennäe, siis seisis järsku nende kõrval kaks valgeis riideis meest.
11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
Nad ütlesid imestunud jüngritele: „Galilea mehed, miks te seisate ja vaatate üles taeva poole? See Jeesus, kes teilt üles võeti taevasse, tuleb samal kombel kui te nägite teda taevasse minevat!“
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Apostlid pöördusid Õlimäelt tagasi Jeruusalemma, mis oli linnast vaid hingamispäeva teekonna kaugusel.
13 When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
Kui nad sinna jõudsid, läksid nad ülemisse tuppa, kus nad peatusid. Seal olid: Peetrus, Jaakobus, Johannes, Andreas, Filippus, Toomas, Bartolomeus, Matteus, Jaakobus Alfeuse poeg, seloot Siimon ja Juudas, Jaakobuse poeg.
14 With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Nemad kõik olid ühel meelel lakkamatus palves ja anumises. Nendega olid naisjüngrid ja Maarja, Jeesuse ema, ja tema vennad.
15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
Neil päevil tõusis Peetrus usklike hulgas püsti (rahvast oli koos umbes sada kakskümmend inimest)
16 “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
ja ütles: „Mehed-vennad, täide pidi minema kirjasõna, mis Püha Vaim on Taaveti suu läbi kõnelenud Juudase kohta, kes juhatas Jeesuse kinnivõtjaid –
17 He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
tema oli üks meie hulgast ja valitud samasse ametisse.
18 (Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
Ta ostis ülekohtu palga eest põllu, ja kui ta pea ees alla kukkus, rebis lõhki oma kõhu ja kogu ta sisikond valgus välja.
19 This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
Igaüks Jeruusalemmas teab, mis temaga juhtus. Sellepärast kutsutaksegi seda põldu nende keeles Hakeldamaks, see tähendab Verepõlluks.
20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
Sest lauludes on kirjutatud: „Nende telklaager saagu lagedaks: ärgu olgu nende telkides elanikke!“Ja samuti: „Tema amet saagu teisele!“
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Nõnda on tarvis valida tema asendaja nende hulgast, kes on meiega olnud kogu selle aja, mil Issand Jeesus meiega sisse ja välja kõndis,
22 beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
alates Johannese ristimisest kuni ajani, mil Jeesus meilt võeti üles. Üks neist peab saama Jeesuse ülestõusmise tunnistajaks koos meiega.“
23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
Nõnda nad pakkusid välja kaks meest: Joosepi, keda kutsuti Barsabaseks (tuntud ka kui Justus), ja Mattiase.
24 And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
Siis nad palvetasid: „Issand, sina tead iga inimese südant. Näita meile, kumma neist kahest mehest sina oled valinud
25 to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
selleks teenistuseks, mille Juudas jättis, et minna sinna, kuhu ta kuulub.“
26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
Nad heitsid liisku ja liisk langes Mattiasele. Nõnda lisati ta üheteistkümne apostli hulka.
