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,
Teofilo, nabanggit sa unang aklat na aking isinulat ang lahat ng mga gawain na sinimulan at itinuro ni Jesus.
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:
Hanggang sa araw na siya ay tinanggap sa itaas. Ito ay matapos siyang bigyan ng utos sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Espiritu para sa mga Apostol na kaniyang pinili.
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:
Pagkatapos ng kaniyang paghihirap, iniharap niyang buhay ang kaniyang sarili sa kanila kasama ang marami pang mga kapani-paniwalang katibayan. Sa loob ng apatnapung araw, nagpakita siya sa kanila at nagsalita siya tungkol sa kaharian ng Diyos.
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:
Noong nakikipagkita pa siya sa kanila, iniutos niya sa kanila na huwag umalis ng Jerusalem, kundi maghintay sa pangako ng Ama na kung saan sinabi niya “Narinig ninyo mula sa akin
5 For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.
na tunay na nagbautismo si Juan gamit ang tubig, ngunit kayo ay mababautismuhan sa Banal na Espiritu sa mga susunod na araw.''
6 So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
Nang sama-sama silang nagkatipon tinanong nila siya, ''Panginoon, ito na ba ang oras na ibabalik mo ang kaharian sa Israel?''
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.
Sinabi niya sa kanila, ''Hindi na para malaman ninyo ang mga oras o ang mga panahon na itinakda ng Ama sa kaniyang sariling kapamahalaan.
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.
Ngunit makakatanggap kayo ng kapangyarihan, kapag sumainyo ang Banal na Espiritu at kayo ay magiging saksi ko sa Jerusalem at sa buong Judea at Samaria, at hanggang sa mga dulo ng mundo.''
9 And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.
Nang sabihin ng Panginoong Jesus ang mga bagay na ito, habang nakatingala sila, siya ay itinaas, at itinago siya ng ulap mula sa kanilang mga mata.
10 And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,
Habang nakatitig sila sa langit nang siya ay paalis, bigla na lamang may dalawang lalaking nakatayo sa tabi nila na nakasuot ng puti.
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.
Sinabi nila, “Kayong mga lalaking taga-Galilea, bakit kayo nakatayo dito na nakatingin sa langit? Itong Jesus na umakyat sa langit ay babalik rin sa paraang katulad ng nakita ninyo na pagpunta niya sa langit.”
12 Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
At bumalik sila sa Jerusalem mula sa Bundok ng Olibo, na malapit sa Jerusalem, isang Araw ng Pamamahinga na paglalakbay.
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.
Pagkarating nila, umakyat sila sa silid na nasa itaas, kung saan sila nananatili. Sila ay sina Pedro, Juan, Santiago, Andres, Filipe, Tomas, Bartolome, Mateo, Santiago na anak ni Alfeo, Simon na Makabayan at si Judas na anak ni Santiago.
14 And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Sama-sama silang nagkakaisa habang patuloy silang masigasig na nananalangin. Kasama rito ang mga kababaihang sina Maria na ina ni Jesus at ang kaniyang mga kapatid.
15 And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,
Sa mga araw na iyon, tumayo si Pedro sa kalagitnaan ng mga kapatid, na halos 120 katao at sinabi,
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,
“Mga kapatid, kinailangan na ang kasulatan ay matupad, na ang Banal na Espiritu ay magsalita sa pamamagitan ng bibig ni David tungkol kay Judas, na siyang gumabay sa mga dumakip kay Jesus.
17 For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.
Sapagkat nakasama natin siya at tinanggap ang kaniyang bahagi ng kapakinabangan sa ministeryong ito.”
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.
(Ngayon bumili ang taong ito ng bukid mula sa kaniyang natanggap kita dahil sa kaniyang kasamaan, at doon ay nahulog siya na nauna ang ulo, ang kanyang katawan ay sumambulat, at lahat ng kanyang bituka ay sumabog.
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.)
Narinig ng lahat ng mga naninirahan sa Jerusalem ang tungkol dito, kaya tinawag nila ang bukid na iyon na “Akeldama,” na ang ibig sabihin sa kanilang salita ay, “Bukid ng Dugo”.)
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.
“Sapagkat nasusulat sa Aklat ng Mga Awit, 'Hayaan ninyong walang manirahan sa kaniyang bukirin, at huwag ninyong hayaan ang kahit na isang tao na manirahan doon'; at 'Hayaang may isang tao na kumuha sa kanyang posisyon ng pamumuno.'
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,
Ito ay kinakailangan, samakatuwid, na isa sa mga kalalakihang nakasama natin sa lahat ng oras nang ang Panginoong Jesus ay kasa-kasama pa natin,
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.
simula sa pagbautismo ni Juan hanggang sa araw na kunin siya sa atin, dapat ay isa siyang saksing kasama natin sa kaniyang muling pagkabuhay.”
23 And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.
Naglapit sila sa harapan ng dalawang kalalakihan, si Jose na tinatawag na Barsabas, na pinangalanan ring Justo, at si Matias.
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,
Nanalangin sila at sinabi, “Ikaw, Panginoon, ang nakakaalam ng puso ng lahat ng tao, kaya ipahayag mo kung sino sa dalawang ito ang iyong pinili
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.
upang pumalit sa gawaing ito at sa pagka-apostol mula nang si Judas ay lumabag upang magtungo sa kaniyang sariling lugar.''
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.
Sila ay nagpalabunutan para sa kanila; at napunta kay Matias ang palabunutan at siya ang ibinilang na kasama ng labing-isang apostol.
