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
| در کتاب نخست خود، ای تئوفیلوس، به شرح کامل زندگی و تعالیم عیسی پرداختم و نوشتم که او چگونه، |
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].
| پس از آنکه احکام خود را توسط روح‌القدس به رسولان برگزیدهٔ خود داد، به آسمان بالا رفت. |
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].
| او در مدت چهل روز پس از مرگ خود، بارها خود را زنده به رسولان ظاهر ساخت و به طرق گوناگون به ایشان ثابت کرد که واقعاً زنده شده است. در این فرصتها، او دربارهٔ ملکوت خدا با ایشان سخن می‌گفت. |
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.
| در یکی از این دیدارها بود که عیسی به ایشان گفت: «از شهر اورشلیم بیرون نروید بلکه منتظر روح‌القدس باشید زیرا او همان هدیه‌ای است که پدرم وعده‌اش را داده و من نیز درباره‌اش با شما سخن گفتم. |
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].”
| «یحیی شما را با آب تعمید داد ولی تا چند روز دیگر شما با روح‌القدس تعمید خواهید یافت.» |
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?”)
| هنگامی که عیسی با شاگردان بود آنان از او پرسیدند: «خداوندا، آیا در همین زمان است که حکومت از دست رفتهٔ اسرائیل را باز برقرار خواهی کرد؟» |
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].
| جواب داد: «این زمانها را پدرم، خدا، تعیین می‌کند و دانستن آنها کار شما نیست. |
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.”
| ولی آنچه لازم است بدانید این است که وقتی روح‌القدس بر شما نازل شود، قدرت خواهید یافت تا در اورشلیم، در سراسر یهودیه، سامره، و تا دورترین نقاط جهان دربارهٔ من شهادت دهید.» |
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].
| پس از آنکه عیسی این سخنان را به پایان رساند، در مقابل چشمان ایشان، به سوی آسمان بالا بُرده شد و ابری او را از نظر ایشان پنهان ساخت. |
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].
| ایشان هنوز برای دیدن او به آسمان خیره بودند که ناگهان متوجه شدند دو مرد سفیدپوش در میانشان ایستاده‌اند |
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].”
| و گفتند: «ای مردان جلیلی، چرا اینجا ایستاده‌اید و به آسمان خیره شده‌اید؟ همین عیسی که از شما گرفته و به آسمان برده شد، روزی نیز باز خواهد گشت، به همین شکل که دیدید به آسمان رفت.» |
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.
| این رویداد تاریخی بر روی کوه زیتون واقع شد که با اورشلیم در حدود یک کیلومتر فاصله داشت. پس، از آنجا به شهر بازگشتند. |
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.
| چون رسیدند، به بالاخانۀ منزلی رفتند که در آن اقامت داشتند. نام آنانی که حضور داشتند، از این قرار است: پطرس، یوحنا، یعقوب، آندریاس، فیلیپ، توما، برتولما، متی، یعقوب (پسر حلفی)، شمعون (عضو حزب فداییان)، یهودا (پسر یعقوب). |
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.
| ایشان به‌طور مرتب با هم گرد می‌آمدند و در دعا متحد می‌شدند، به‌همراه مریم، مادر عیسی، و چند زن دیگر، و برادران عیسی. |
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,
| در یکی از آن روزها که در حدود صد و بیست نفر حاضر بودند، پطرس برخاست و به ایشان گفت: |
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.
| «برادران، لازم بود پیشگویی کتب مقدّس دربارهٔ یهودا عملی شود که اشخاص شریر را راهنمایی کرد تا عیسی را بگیرند، زیرا مدتها قبل از آن، داوود نبی خیانت یهودا را با الهام از روح‌القدس پیشگویی کرده بود. |
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.”
| یهودا یکی از ما بود. او را نیز عیسی مسیح انتخاب کرده بود تا مانند ما رسول خدا باشد. |
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.
| ولی با پولی که بابت خیانت خود گرفت، مزرعه‌ای خرید، و در همان جا با سر سقوط کرد، و از میان دو پاره شد و تمام روده‌هایش بیرون ریخت. |
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].
| خبر مرگ او فوری در اورشلیم پیچید و مردم اسم آن زمین را”حَقِل دَما“، یعنی زمین خون گذاشتند.» پطرس ادامه داد و گفت: |
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.’”
| «در این مورد در کتاب مزامیر نوشته شده است:”ای کاش خانه‌اش خراب گردد و کسی در آن ساکن نشود.“و باز می‌فرماید:”مقام او را به دیگری بدهند.“ |
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.
| «پس حال، باید یک نفر دیگر را انتخاب کنیم که در تمام مدتی که خداوند عیسی در میان ما زندگی می‌کرد، با ما بوده باشد، |
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].”
| یعنی از زمانی که یحیی مردم را تعمید می‌داد، تا زمانی که عیسی از میان ما به بالا برده شد. زیرا یکی از این افراد باید با ما شاهد بر رستاخیز او باشد.» |
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.
| حاضرین دو نفر را معرفی کردند، یکی «یوسف برسابا» که به او یوستوس نیز می‌گفتند، و دیگری «متیاس». |
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.”
| آنگاه دعا کرده، گفتند: «خداوندا، تو از قلب همه باخبری. به ما نشان بده کدام یک از این دو نفر را انتخاب کرده‌ای |
| تا رسول تو و جانشین یهودای خائن باشد که به سزای عمل خود رسید.» |
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.
| پس ایشان قرعه انداختند و متیاس انتخاب شد و به جمع آن یازده رسول پیوست. |
