Acts 1
1 I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
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，
2 until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
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。
3 to whom also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern the kingdom of God;
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。
4 and, being assembled with [them], commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which [said he] ye have heard of me.
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。
5 For John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.
约翰是用水施洗，但不多几日，你们要受圣灵的洗。”
6 They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?
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？”
7 And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;
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。
8 but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
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。”
9 And having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.
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。
10 And as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,
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：
11 who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have beheld him going into heaven.
“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。”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called [the mount] of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off.
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，
13 And when they were come into [the city], they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude [the brother] of James.
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。
14 These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
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。
15 And in those days Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names [who were] together [was] about a hundred and twenty, )
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，
16 Brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus;
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。
17 for he was numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this service.
他本来列在我们数中，并且在使徒的职任上得了一分。
18 (This [man] then indeed got a field with [the] reward of iniquity, and, having fallen down headlong, burst in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
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。
19 And it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, field of blood.)
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。
20 For it is written in [the] book of Psalms, Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership.
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。
21 It is necessary therefore, that of the men who have assembled with us all [the] time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
所以，主耶稣在我们中间始终出入的时候，
22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which he was taken up from us, one of these should be a witness with us of his resurrection.
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。”
23 And they appointed two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who had been surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
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。
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, knower of the hearts of all, shew which one of these two thou hast chosen,
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。”
25 to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place.
26 And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
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。
