Acts 1
1 [Dear] Theophilus, In my first book [that I wrote for you], I wrote about many of the things that Jesus did and taught
La unuan historion mi faris, ho Teofilo, pri ĉio, kion Jesuo komencis fari kaj instrui,
2 until the day on which he was taken {[God] took him} up [to heaven]. Before [he went to heaven], saying what the Holy Spirit [told him], he told the apostles whom he had chosen [the things that he wanted them to know].
ĝis la tago, kiam li estis akceptita supren, doninte ordonon per la Sankta Spirito al la apostoloj, kiujn li elektis;
3 After he had suffered [and died on the cross], [he became alive again]. As he appeared to them [often] during [the next] 40 days, the apostles saw him many times. He proved to them in many ways that he was alive again. He talked [with them] about [how] God would rule [MET] [the lives of people who accepted him as their king].
al kiuj ankaŭ post sia suferado li montris sin vivanta per multaj pruvoj, dum kvardek tagoj aperante al ili kaj parolante pri la aferoj de la regno de Dio;
4 [One time] while he was with them, he told them, “Do not leave Jerusalem [yet]. Instead, wait [here] until my Father sends [his Spirit] [MTY] [to you], as he promised [to do]. You have heard me speak [to you] about that.
kaj kunestante, li admonis ilin ne foriri el Jerusalem, sed atendi tiun promeson de la Patro, pri kiu (li diris) vi aŭdis de mi;
5 John baptized people in water [because they said that they wanted to change their lives], but after a few days [LIT] [God] will put the Holy Spirit within you(pl) [to truly change your lives].”
ĉar kiel Johano baptis per akvo, vi baptiĝos per la Sankta Spirito post ne multe da tagoj.
6 One day when the [apostles] met together [with Jesus], they asked him, “Lord, will you [(sg)] now become the King [MET] over [us] Israelite people [like King David, who ruled long ago]?” (OR, “Lord, will you [(sg)] now [defeat the Romans and] restore the kingdom [to us] Israelite people?”)
Ili do, kunveninte, demandis lin, dirante: Sinjoro, ĉu en ĉi tiu tempo vi restarigas la regadon al Izrael?
7 He replied to them, “You do not [need] to know the time [periods] and days [when that will happen]. My Father alone has decided [when he will make me king].
Kaj li diris al ili: Ne apartenas al vi scii tempojn aŭ epokojn, kiujn la Patro rezervis en Sia aŭtoritato.
8 But [you do need to know that] the Holy Spirit will make you [spiritually] strong when he comes to live in you. Then you will [powerfully] tell people about me in Jerusalem and in all [the other places in] Judea [district], in Samaria [district], and in places far away all over [IDM] the world.”
Sed vi ricevos povon, kiam la Sankta Spirito venos sur vin; kaj vi estos miaj atestantoj en Jerusalem kaj en la tuta Judujo kaj Samario kaj ĝis la plej malproksima parto de la tero.
9 After he said that, he was taken {[God] took him} up [to heaven], while they were watching. [He went up into] a cloud [PRS], which prevented them from seeing him [any more].
Kaj tion dirinte, li suprenleviĝis, ankoraŭ dum ili rigardis, kaj nubo ricevis lin for de iliaj okuloj.
10 While [the apostles] were [still] staring towards the sky as he was going up, suddenly two men who were wearing white clothes stood beside them. [They were angels].
Kaj dum ili fikse rigardis al la ĉielo, kiam li foriris, jen staris apud ili du viroj blanke vestitaj;
11 One [of] them said, “You men from Galilee [district], (you do not need to stand [here any longer] looking up at the sky!/why do you still stand [here] looking up at the sky?) [RHQ] [Some day] this same Jesus, whom [God] took from you up to heaven, will come back [to earth]. He will return in the same manner as you [just now] saw him when he went up to heaven, [but he will not return now].”
kiuj ankaŭ diris: Viroj Galileanoj, kial vi staras rigardantaj al la ĉielo? ĉi tiu Jesuo, kiu estas prenita supren for de vi en la ĉielon, tiel same revenos, kiel vi vidis lin iranta en la ĉielon.
12 Then [after the two angels left], the apostles returned to Jerusalem from Olive [Tree] Hill, which was about (a half mile/one kilometer) [MTY] from Jerusalem.
Tiam ili iris returne al Jerusalem de la monteto nomata Olivarba, kiu estas proksime de Jerusalem, en la distanco de sabata vojaĝo.
13 When they entered [the city], they went upstairs to the room [in the house] where they were staying. [Those who were there included] Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, [another] James [the son] of Alphaeus, Simon who belonged to the group that wanted to expel the Romans, and Judas [the son] of [another man named] James.
Kaj kiam ili envenis, ili supreniris en la supran ĉambron, kie loĝis Petro kaj Johano kaj Jakobo kaj Andreo, Filipo kaj Tomaso, Bartolomeo kaj Mateo, Jakobo, filo de Alfeo, kaj Simon, la Fervorulo, kaj Judas, filo de Jakobo.
14 All these apostles agreed concerning the things about which they continually were praying [together. Others who prayed with them] included the women [who had accompanied Jesus], Mary who was Jesus’ mother, and his [younger] brothers.
Ĉiuj ĉi tiuj unuanime persistis en preĝado kaj petado, kun la virinoj, kaj Maria, la patrino de Jesuo, kaj kun liaj fratoj.
15 During those days Peter stood up among his fellow believers. There were [at that place] a group of about 120 of [Jesus’ followers]. Peter said,
Kaj en tiuj tagoj Petro, stariĝinte meze de la fratoj, diris (kaj multego da personoj estis kune, ĉirkaŭ cent dudek):
16 “My fellow believers, [there are words that King] David wrote [MTY] in the Scriptures long ago that needed to be fulfilled {to happen [as he said they would]}. The Holy Spirit, [who knew that Judas would be the one who would fulfill those words], told David what to write.
Fratoj, estis necese, ke plenumiĝu tiu Skribo, kiun la Sankta Spirito antaŭparolis per la buŝo de David pri Judas, kiu fariĝis gvidanto al tiuj, kiuj kaptis Jesuon.
17 [Although] Judas had been chosen {[Jesus] had chosen Judas}, along with [the rest of] us [(exc)] to serve [as an apostle], Judas was the person who led to Jesus the people who seized him.”
Ĉar li estis kalkulita inter ni kaj ricevis sian parton en ĉi tiu servado.
18 [The Jewish leaders] gave Judas money when he [promised to] treacherously/wickedly [betray Jesus. Later Judas returned that money to them]. When Judas [hanged himself], his body fell down [to the ground]. His abdomen burst open, and all his intestines spilled out. [So] the [Jewish leaders] bought a field [using] that money.
(Tiu ja akiris kampon per la rekompenco de sia maljusteco, kaj falinte kapantaŭe, li diskrevis meze, kaj ĉiuj liaj internaĵoj elŝutiĝis.
19 All the people who reside in Jerusalem heard [about that], so they called that field in their own [Aramaic] language, Akeldama, which means ‘Field of Blood’, [because it was where someone bled and died].
Kaj tio fariĝis sciata al ĉiuj loĝantoj en Jerusalem, tiel ke en ilia dialekto tiu kampo estas nomita Akeldama, tio estas, Kampo de Sango.)
20 [Peter also said], “[I perceive that what happened to Judas is like what the writer of] Psalms [desired to happen]: ‘May his house become deserted, and may there be no one to live in it.’ (OR, ‘[Judge him, Lord, so that neither he nor] anyone [else] may live in his house!)’ And it seems that [these other words that David wrote also refer to Judas: ] ‘Let someone else take over his work as a leader.’”
Ĉar estas skribite en la Psalmaro: Lia loĝejo dezertiĝu, Kaj en ĝi ne ekzistu loĝanto; kaj: Lian oficon ricevu alia.
21 “So it is necessary [for us apostles] to choose a man [to replace Judas. He must be one who] accompanied [MTY] us all the time when the Lord Jesus was with us.
El tiuj viroj do, kiuj nin akompanis dum la tuta tempo, en kiu la Sinjoro Jesuo eniris kaj eliris inter ni,
22 [That would be] from [the time when] John [the Baptizer] baptized [Jesus] until the day when Jesus was taken {when [God] took Jesus} from us up [to heaven]. He must be one who saw Jesus alive again [after he died].”
komencante de la bapto de Johano ĝis la tago, kiam li estis akceptita supren for de ni, unu devas esti atestanto kun ni pri lia releviĝo.
23 So the [apostles and other believers] suggested [the names of two men who qualified. One man was] Joseph, who was called {whom people called} Barsabbas (OR, Joseph Barsabbas) who [also] had the [Roman] name Justus. The other man was Matthias.
Kaj ili starigis du: Jozefon, nomatan Barsabas, kies alnomo estis Justo, kaj Mattiason.
24 Then they prayed like this: “Lord [Jesus], Judas stopped being an apostle. [He died and] went to the place where he [deserved to be] [EUP]. [So we(exc) need to choose someone] to replace [Judas in order] that he can serve [you(sg) by becoming] an apostle. You [(sg)] know what everyone is really like. So [please] show us which of these two men you have chosen.”
Kaj preĝante, ili diris: Vi, ho Sinjoro, kiu konas la korojn de ĉiuj, elmontru, kiun el ĉi tiuj du Vi elektis,
por ricevi la parton en ĉi tiu servado kaj apostoleco, de kiu Judas forfalis, por iri al sia propra loko.
26 Then they cast lots [to choose between the two of] them, and the lot fell for Matthias. (OR, Then [one of] the [apostles] shook [in a container] small objects/stones [that] they [had marked to determine which man God had chosen]. And the small object/stone [that they had marked] for Matthias fell [out of the container]). So Matthias was considered {they considered Matthias} [to be an apostle] along with the [other] eleven apostles.
Kaj ili lotis pri tio, kaj la loto falis por Mattias; kaj li estis alkalkulita al la dek unu apostoloj.
