Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
EN el primer tratado, oh Teófilo, he hablado de todas las cosas que Jesus comenzó á hacer, y á enseñar,
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
Hasta el dia en que, habiendo dado mandamientos por el Espíritu Santo á los apóstoles que escogió, fué recibido arriba:
3 to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
A los cuales, despues de haber padecido, se presentó vivo con muchas pruebas indubitables, apareciéndoles por cuarenta dias, y hablándo[les] del reino de Dios.
4 And while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye heard from me;
Y estando juntos, les mandó que no se fuesen de Jerusalem, sino que esperasen la promesa del Padre, que oisteis, [dijo, ] de mí.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Porque Juan á la verdad bautizó con agua, mas vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo no muchos dias despues de estos.
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Entónces los que se habian juntado le preguntaron, diciendo: Señor, ¿restituirás el reino á Israel en este tiempo?
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Y les dijo: No toca á vosotros saber los tiempos ó las sazones que el Padre puso en su sola potestad:
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Mas recibiréis la virtud del Espíritu Santo que vendrá sobre vosotros, y me seréis testigos en Jerusalem, y en toda Judéa, y Samaria, y hasta lo último de la tierra.
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Y habiendo dicho estas cosas, viéndolo ellos, fué alzado; y una nube le recibió, [y le quitó] de sus ojos.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Y estando con los ojos puestos en el cielo entretanto que él iba, hé aquí dos varones se pusieron junto á ellos en vestidos blancos;
11 who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.
Los cuales tambien les dijeron: Varones Galiléos, ¿qué estais mirando al cielo? este mismo Jesus que ha sido tomado desde vosotros arriba en el cielo, así vendrá como le habeis visto ir al cielo.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Entónces se volvieron á Jerusalem del monte que se llama del Olivar, el cual está cerca de Jerusalem camino de un Sábado.
13 And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, 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 brother of James.
Y entrados, subieron al aposento alto, donde moraban Pedro, y Jacobo y Juan, y Andrés, Felipe, y Tomás, Bartolomé, y Mateo, Jacobo [hijo] de Alféo, y Simon Zelotes, y Judas [hermano] de Jacobo.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Todos estos perseveraban unánimes en oracion y ruego, con las mujeres, y con María la madre de Jesus, y con sus hermanos.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
Y en aquellos dias Pedro, levantándose en medio de los hermanos, dijo (y era la compañía junta como de ciento y veinte en número):
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.
Varones hermanos, convino que se cumpliese la escritura, la cual dijo ántes el Espíritu Santo por la boca de David, de Júdas, que fué guia de los que prendieron á Jesus.
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
El cual era contado con nosotros, y tenia suerte en este ministerio.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
Este pues adquirió un campo del salario de [su] iniquidad; y colgándose, reventó por medio, y todas sus entrañas se derramaron.
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, Field of Blood.
Y fué notorio á todos los moradores de Jerusalem: de tal manera que aquel campo es llamado en su propia lengua, Acéldama, que es, Campo de sangre.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
Porque está escrito en el libro de los Salmos: Sea hecha desierta su habitacion, y no haya quien more en ella: y tome otro su obispado.
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Conviene, pues, que de estos hombres que han estado juntos con nosotros todo el tiempo que el Señor Jesus entró y salió entre nosotros,
22 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
Comenzando desde el bautismo de Juan, hasta el dia en que fué recibido arriba de [entre] nosotros, uno sea hecho testigo con nosotros de su resurreccion.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Y señalaron á dos: á José, llamado Barsabás, que tenia por sobrenombre Justo, y á Matías.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Y orando, dijeron. Tú, Señor, que conoces los corazones de todos, muestra cuál escoges de estos dos.
25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.
Para que tome el oficio de este ministerio, y del apostolado, del cual cayó Júdas por transgresion, para irse á su lugar.
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Y les echaron suertes, y cayó la suerte sobre Matías; y fué contado con los once apóstoles.
