Πραξεις 1
1 τον μεν πρωτον λογον εποιησαμην περι παντων ω θεοφιλε ων ηρξατο {VAR2: ο } ιησους ποιειν τε και διδασκειν
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 αχρι ης ημερας εντειλαμενος τοις αποστολοις δια πνευματος αγιου ους εξελεξατο ανελημφθη
until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 οις και παρεστησεν εαυτον ζωντα μετα το παθειν αυτον εν πολλοις τεκμηριοις δι ημερων τεσσερακοντα οπτανομενος αυτοις και λεγων τα περι της βασιλειας του θεου
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
4 και συναλιζομενος παρηγγειλεν αυτοις απο ιεροσολυμων μη χωριζεσθαι αλλα περιμενειν την επαγγελιαν του πατρος ην ηκουσατε μου
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 οτι ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεις δε εν πνευματι βαπτισθησεσθε αγιω ου μετα πολλας ταυτας ημερας
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6 οι μεν ουν συνελθοντες ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες κυριε ει εν τω χρονω τουτω αποκαθιστανεις την βασιλειαν τω ισραηλ
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 ειπεν {VAR2: δε } προς αυτους ουχ υμων εστιν γνωναι χρονους η καιρους ους ο πατηρ εθετο εν τη ιδια εξουσια
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 αλλα λημψεσθε δυναμιν επελθοντος του αγιου πνευματος εφ υμας και εσεσθε μου μαρτυρες εν τε ιερουσαλημ και [εν] παση τη ιουδαια και σαμαρεια και εως εσχατου της γης
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 και ταυτα ειπων βλεποντων αυτων επηρθη και νεφελη υπελαβεν αυτον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 και ως ατενιζοντες ησαν εις τον ουρανον πορευομενου αυτου και ιδου ανδρες δυο παρειστηκεισαν αυτοις εν εσθησεσιν λευκαις
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 οι και ειπαν ανδρες γαλιλαιοι τι εστηκατε {VAR1: βλεποντες } {VAR2: (εμβλεποντες) } εις τον ουρανον ουτος ο ιησους ο αναλημφθεις αφ υμων εις τον ουρανον ουτως ελευσεται ον τροπον εθεασασθε αυτον πορευομενον εις τον ουρανον
who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
12 τοτε υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ απο ορους του καλουμενου ελαιωνος ο εστιν εγγυς ιερουσαλημ σαββατου εχον οδον
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 και οτε εισηλθον εις το υπερωον ανεβησαν ου ησαν καταμενοντες ο τε πετρος και ιωαννης και ιακωβος και ανδρεας φιλιππος και θωμας βαρθολομαιος και μαθθαιος ιακωβος αλφαιου και σιμων ο ζηλωτης και ιουδας ιακωβου
When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 ουτοι παντες ησαν προσκαρτερουντες ομοθυμαδον τη προσευχη συν γυναιξιν και μαριαμ τη μητρι {VAR1: [του] {VAR1: του } {VAR2: ιησου και } συν } τοις αδελφοις αυτου
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 και εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις αναστας πετρος εν μεσω των αδελφων ειπεν ην τε οχλος ονοματων επι το αυτο {VAR1: ως } {VAR2: ωσει } εκατον εικοσι
In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 ανδρες αδελφοι εδει πληρωθηναι την γραφην ην προειπεν το πνευμα το αγιον δια στοματος δαυιδ περι ιουδα του γενομενου οδηγου τοις συλλαβουσιν ιησουν
"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
17 οτι κατηριθμημενος ην εν ημιν και ελαχεν τον κληρον της διακονιας ταυτης
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 ουτος μεν ουν εκτησατο χωριον εκ μισθου της αδικιας και πρηνης γενομενος ελακησεν μεσος και εξεχυθη παντα τα σπλαγχνα αυτου
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 και γνωστον εγενετο πασιν τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ ωστε κληθηναι το χωριον εκεινο τη {VAR2: ιδια } διαλεκτω αυτων ακελδαμαχ τουτ εστιν χωριον αιματος
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
20 γεγραπται γαρ εν βιβλω ψαλμων γενηθητω η επαυλις αυτου ερημος και μη εστω ο κατοικων εν αυτη και την επισκοπην αυτου λαβετω ετερος
For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
21 δει ουν των συνελθοντων ημιν ανδρων εν παντι χρονω ω εισηλθεν και εξηλθεν εφ ημας ο κυριος ιησους
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 αρξαμενος απο του βαπτισματος ιωαννου εως της ημερας ης ανελημφθη αφ ημων μαρτυρα της αναστασεως αυτου συν ημιν γενεσθαι ενα τουτων
beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
23 και εστησαν δυο ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον βαρσαββαν ος επεκληθη ιουστος και μαθθιαν
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 και προσευξαμενοι ειπαν συ κυριε καρδιογνωστα παντων αναδειξον ον εξελεξω εκ τουτων των δυο ενα
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 λαβειν τον τοπον της διακονιας ταυτης και αποστολης αφ ης παρεβη ιουδας πορευθηναι εις τον τοπον τον ιδιον
to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
26 και εδωκαν κληρους αυτοις και επεσεν ο κληρος επι μαθθιαν και συγκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
