Acts 1
1 I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,
primum quidem sermonem feci de omnibus o Theophile quae coepit Iesus facere et docere
2 Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:
usque in diem qua praecipiens apostolis per Spiritum Sanctum quos elegit adsumptus est
3 And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:
quibus et praebuit se ipsum vivum post passionem suam in multis argumentis per dies quadraginta apparens eis et loquens de regno Dei
4 And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:
et convescens praecepit eis ab Hierosolymis ne discederent sed expectarent promissionem Patris quam audistis per os meum
5 For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.
quia Iohannes quidem baptizavit aqua vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto non post multos hos dies
6 So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
igitur qui convenerant interrogabant eum dicentes Domine si in tempore hoc restitues regnum Israhel
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.
dixit autem eis non est vestrum nosse tempora vel momenta quae Pater posuit in sua potestate
8 But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
sed accipietis virtutem supervenientis Spiritus Sancti in vos et eritis mihi testes in Hierusalem et in omni Iudaea et Samaria et usque ad ultimum terrae
9 And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.
et cum haec dixisset videntibus illis elevatus est et nubes suscepit eum ab oculis eorum
10 And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,
cumque intuerentur in caelum eunte illo ecce duo viri adstiterunt iuxta illos in vestibus albis
11 And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
qui et dixerunt viri galilaei quid statis aspicientes in caelum hic Iesus qui adsumptus est a vobis in caelum sic veniet quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in caelum
12 Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
tunc reversi sunt Hierosolymam a monte qui vocatur Oliveti qui est iuxta Hierusalem sabbati habens iter
13 And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.
et cum introissent in cenaculum ascenderunt ubi manebant Petrus et Iohannes Iacobus et Andreas Philippus et Thomas Bartholomeus et Mattheus Iacobus Alphei et Simon Zelotes et Iudas Iacobi
14 And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
hii omnes erant perseverantes unianimiter in oratione cum mulieribus et Maria matre Iesu et fratribus eius
15 And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,
et in diebus illis exsurgens Petrus in medio fratrum dixit erat autem turba nominum simul fere centum viginti
16 My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,
viri fratres oportet impleri scripturam quam praedixit Spiritus Sanctus per os David de Iuda qui fuit dux eorum qui conprehenderunt Iesum
17 For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.
quia connumeratus erat in nobis et sortitus est sortem ministerii huius
18 (Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.
et hic quidem possedit agrum de mercede iniquitatis et suspensus crepuit medius et diffusa sunt omnia viscera eius
19 And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)
et notum factum est omnibus habitantibus Hierusalem ita ut appellaretur ager ille lingua eorum Acheldemach hoc est ager Sanguinis
20 For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.
scriptum est enim in libro Psalmorum fiat commoratio eius deserta et non sit qui inhabitet in ea et episcopatum eius accipiat alius
21 For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
oportet ergo ex his viris qui nobiscum congregati sunt in omni tempore quo intravit et exivit inter nos Dominus Iesus
22 Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.
incipiens a baptismate Iohannis usque in diem qua adsumptus est a nobis testem resurrectionis eius nobiscum fieri unum ex istis
23 And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.
et statuerunt duos Ioseph qui vocabatur Barsabban qui cognominatus est Iustus et Matthiam
24 And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,
et orantes dixerunt tu Domine qui corda nosti omnium ostende quem elegeris ex his duobus unum
25 To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.
accipere locum ministerii huius et apostolatus de quo praevaricatus est Iudas ut abiret in locum suum
26 And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
et dederunt sortes eis et cecidit sors super Matthiam et adnumeratus est cum undecim apostolis
