Hechos 1
1 En el primer relato, oh Teófilo, escribí con respecto a las cosas que Jesús hizo y enseñó desde el comienzo
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 hasta el día cuando dio órdenes por el Espíritu Santo a los apóstoles que escogió, y ascendió.
Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 Después de padecer Él, se les apareció vivo con muchas pruebas durante 40 días y les hablaba sobre el reino de Dios.
To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 Se reunieron y les mandó que no salieran de Jerusalén, sino que esperaran la promesa del Padre que Él les anunció:
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, says he, you have heard of me.
5 Porque Juan ciertamente bautizó con agua, pero ustedes serán bautizados con el Espíritu Santo dentro de unos días.
For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 Los reunidos le preguntaban: Señor, ¿restauras el reino a Israel en este tiempo?
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 Les respondió: A ustedes no les corresponde saber los tiempos o las épocas que el Padre estableció en su propia jurisdicción.
And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.
8 Pero cuando venga el Espíritu Santo sobre ustedes, me serán testigos primero en Jerusalén, toda Judea, Samaria y hasta lo último de la tierra.
But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come on you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
9 Después de decir esto, mientras ellos lo miraban, fue levantado, y una nube lo ocultó de sus ojos.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Mientras miraban fijamente que Él ascendía al cielo, les llegaron dos varones con ropas blancas,
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 quienes les preguntaron: Varones galileos, ¿por qué miran al cielo? Este Jesús, Quien fue tomado de ustedes al cielo, vendrá así como lo contemplaron al ascender.
Which also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.
12 Entonces regresaron a Jerusalén de la Montaña de Los Olivos, la cual está cerca de Jerusalén, que tiene camino de un sábado.
Then returned they to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
13 Al entrar en la ciudad, subieron al aposento alto donde estaban hospedados Pedro, Juan, Jacobo, Andrés, Felipe, Tomás, Bartolomé, Mateo, Jacobo, [hijo] de Alfeo, Simón el Zelote y Judas, [hermano] de Jacobo.
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where stayed both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 Todos éstos estaban dedicados con propósito a la conversación con Dios, con [algunas] mujeres, y María, la madre de Jesús, y los hermanos de Él.
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Los reunidos eran como 120. En esos días, Pedro dijo a sus hermanos:
And in those days Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
16 Varones hermanos, fue necesario que se cumpliera la Escritura que el Espíritu Santo predijo por boca de David con respecto a Judas, quien fue guía de los que arrestaron a Jesús,
Men and brothers, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 porque era uno de nosotros y participaba en este ministerio.
For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 Éste compró un campo con el pago por su iniquidad. [Allí] cayó de cabeza, reventó por el medio y se le derramaron todos sus órganos internos.
Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 Esto lo supieron todos los que viven en Jerusalén, de modo que aquel campo se llama en su propia lengua Acéldama, es decir, Campo de Sangre.
And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; so as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 En un rollo de salmos está escrito: Sea desierta su morada, Y no haya quien viva en ella. Y: Tome otro su oficio.
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his position as bishop let another take.
21 Es necesario, pues, que de los varones que anduvieron con nosotros durante todo el tiempo cuando el Señor Jesús estuvo entre nosotros,
Why of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 a partir del bautismo de Juan hasta el día cuando fue tomado arriba de entre nosotros, uno de éstos sea testigo con nosotros de su resurrección.
Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 Propusieron a dos: a José, llamado Barsabás, a quien apodaban Justo, y a Matías.
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Después de hablar con Dios, dijeron: [Tú], Señor, conocedor de los corazones de todos, muestra a quién de estos dos te escogiste
And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, which know the hearts of all men, show whether of these two you have chosen,
25 para tomar el lugar en este ministerio y apostolado, del cual cayó Judas para irse a su propio lugar.
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 Les echaron suertes. La suerte cayó sobre Matías y fue incorporado con los 11 apóstoles.
And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
