< Acts 1 >

1 The first narrative, indeed, made I, concerning all things, O Theophilus, which Jesus began both to do and teach, —
Прву сам ти књигу написао о свему, о Теофиле, што поче Исус творити и учити
2 Until the day when, having given command unto the apostles, whom through Holy Spirit he had chosen, he was taken up;
До дана кад се узнесе, пошто Духом Светим заповеди апостолима које изабра,
3 Unto whom he also presented himself alive, after he had suffered, by many sure tokens, throughout forty days making himself visible unto them, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.
Пред којима и по страдању свом показа себе жива многим и истинитим знацима, и јавља им се четрдесет дана, и говори о царству Божјем.
4 And being in company with them he charged them, from Jerusalem, not to absent themselves, but—To abide around the promise of the Father which ye have heard of me,
И сабравши их заповеди им да не иду из Јерусалима, него да чекају обећање Очево, које чусте, рече, од мене;
5 Because, John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, in Holy Spirit shall be immersed, —after not many of these days.
Јер је Јован крстио водом, а ви ћете се крстити Духом Светим не дуго после ових дана.
6 They, therefore, having come together, began to question him, saying—Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto Israel?
А они онда који заједно беху, питаху Га говорећи: Господе! Хоћеш ли сад начинити царство Израиљево?
7 He said unto them—It is not yours to get to know times or seasons which the Father hath put in his own authority;
А Он им рече: Није ваше знати времена и лета које Отац задржа у својој власти;
8 But ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit cometh upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and [in] all Judaea and Samaria and as far as the uttermost part of the land.
Него ћете примити силу кад сиђе Дух Свети на вас; и бићете ми сведоци у Јерусалиму и по свој Јудеји и Самарији и тја до краја земље.
9 And having said these things, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes.
И ово рекавши видеше они где се подиже и однесе Га облак из очију њихових.
10 And, while they were looking steadfastly into heaven as he was going his way, then lo! two men had taken their stand beside them, in white garments, —
И кад гледаху за Њим где иде на небо, гле, два човека стадоше пред њима у белим хаљинама,
11 Who also said—Men of Galilee! why stand ye looking into heaven? This Jesus who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye yourselves have gazed upon him going into heaven.
Који и рекоше: Људи Галилејци! Шта стојите и гледате на небо? Овај Исус који се од вас узе на небо тако ће доћи као што видесте да иде на небо.
12 Then returned they into Jerusalem, from a mountain called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s journey.
Тада се вратише у Јерусалим с горе која се зове Маслинска, која је близу Јерусалима један суботни дан хода.
13 And, when they had entered, into the upper-story went they up, where remained behind—both 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.
И кад уђоше попеше се у собу где стајаху Петар и Јаков и Јован и Андрија, Филип и Тома, Вартоломије и Матеј, Јаков Алфејев и Симон Зилот, и Јуда Јаковљев.
14 These all were giving constant attention with one accord unto the prayer, with [certain] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Ови сви једнодушно беху једнако на молитви и у мољењу са женама, и с Маријом матером Исусовом и браћом Његовом.
15 And, in these days, Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, —and there was a multitude of names, of one accord, about a hundred and twenty, —
И у дане оне уставши Петар између ученика рече (а беше народа заједно око сто двадесет имена):
16 Brethren! It was needful for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spake beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, —who became guide unto them who apprehended Jesus;
Људи браћо! Требало је да се изврши оно писмо што прорече Дух Свети устима Давидовим за Јуду који беше пред онима што ухватише Исуса;
17 For that he had come to be reckoned among us and obtained the lot of this ministry.—
Јер се бројаше с нама, и беше примио део ове службе.
18 This man therefore had possessed himself of a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, —and falling headlong burst asunder in the midst, and forth gushed all his bowels;
Он дакле стече њиву од плате неправедне, и обесивши се пуче по среди, и изасу се сва утроба његова.
19 And it became known unto all them who were dwelling in Jerusalem, so that that field was called, in their language, Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.—
И постаде знано свима који живе у Јерусалиму да ће се та њива прозвати њиховим језиком Акелдама, које значи њива крвна.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let his encampment become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein! And—his overseership, let a different man take!
Јер се пише у књизи псалтиру: Да буде двор његов пуст, и да не буде никога ко би живео у њему, и: Владичанство његово да прими други.
21 It is needful then that, of the men who companied with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out over us,
Треба дакле од ових људи који су били с нама за све време како међу нас уђе и изиђе Господ Исус,
22 Beginning from the immersion by John until the day when he was taken up from us, that, a witness of his resurrection along with us, should one of these become.
Почевши од крштења Јовановог до дана кад се узе од нас, да буде с нама сведок Његовог васкрсења један од ових.
23 And they appointed two, —Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
И поставише двојицу, Јосифа који се зваше Варсава презименом Јуст, и Матија.
24 And, praying, they said—Thou Lord! observer of the hearts of all men! shew forth whom thou hast chosen, —of these two, one; —
И помоливши се Богу рекоше: Ти, Господе! Који познајеш срца свих, покажи једног од ове двојице кога си изабрао,
25 To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas went aside, to go his way unto his own place.
Да прими део ове службе и апостолства, из кога испаде Јуда да иде на место своје.
26 And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
И бацише коцке за њих, и паде коцка на Матија и примише га међу једанаест апостола.
