Hechos 1
1 EN el primer tratado, oh Teófilo, he hablado de todas las cosas que Jesús comenzó á hacer y á enseñar,
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Hasta el día en que, habiendo dado mandamientos por el Espíritu Santo á los apóstoles que escogió, fué recibido arriba;
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 A los cuales, después de haber padecido, se presentó vivo con muchas pruebas indubitables, apareciéndoles por cuarenta días, y hablándo[les] del reino de Dios.
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 Y estando juntos, les mandó que no se fuesen de Jerusalem, sino que esperasen la promesa del Padre, que oísteis, [dijo], de mí.
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 Porque Juan á la verdad bautizó con agua, mas vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo no muchos días después de estos.
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6 Entonces los que se habían juntado le preguntaron, diciendo: Señor, ¿restituirás el reino á Israel en este tiempo?
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 Y les dijo: No toca á vosotros saber los tiempos ó las sazones que el Padre puso en su sola potestad;
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 Mas recibiréis la virtud del Espíritu Santo que vendrá sobre vosotros; y me sereís testigos en Jerusalem, y en toda Judea, y Samaria, y hasta lo último de la tierra.
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 Y habiendo dicho estas cosas, viéndo[lo] ellos, fué alzado; y una nube le recibió [y le quitó] de sus ojos.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 Y estando con los ojos puestos en el cielo, entre tanto que él iba, he aquí dos varones se pusieron junto á ellos en vestidos blancos;
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 Los cuales también les dijeron: Varones Galileos, ¿qué estáis mirando al cielo? este mismo Jesús que ha sido tomado desde vosotros arriba en el cielo, así vendrá como le habéis visto ir al cielo.
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 Entonces se volvieron á Jerusalem del monte que se llama del Olivar, el cual está cerca de Jerusalem camino de un sábado.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 Y entrados, subieron al aposento alto, donde moraban Pedro y Jacobo, y Juan y Andrés, Felipe y Tomás, Bartolomé y Mateo, Jacobo [hijo] de Alfeo, y Simón Zelotes, y Judas [hermano] de Jacobo.
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 Todos éstos perseveraban unánimes en oración y ruego, con las mujeres, y con María la madre de Jesús, y con sus hermanos.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Y en aquellos días, Pedro, levantándose en medio de los hermanos, dijo (y era la compañía junta como de ciento y veinte en número):
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 Varones hermanos, convino que se cumpliese la Escritura, la cual dijo antes el Espíritu Santo por la boca de David, de Judas, que fué guía de los que prendieron á Jesús;
"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 El cuál era contado con nosotros, y tenía suerte en este ministerio.
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 Este, pues, adquirió un campo del salario de su iniquidad, y colgándose, reventó por medio, y todas sus entrañas se derramaron.
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 Y fué notorio á todos los moradores de Jerusalem; de tal manera que aquel campo es llamado en su propia lengua, Acéldama, que es, Campo de sangre.
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 Porque está escrito en el libro de los salmos: Sea hecha desierta su habitación, y no haya quien more en ella; y: Tome otro su obispado.
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 Conviene, pues, que de estos hombres que han estado juntos con nosotros todo el tiempo que el Señor Jesús entró y salió entre nosotros,
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Comenzando desde el bautismo de Juan, hasta el día que fué recibido arriba de [entre] nosotros, uno sea hecho testigo con nosotros de su resurrección.
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 Y señalaron á dos: á José, llamado Barsabas, que tenía por sobrenombre Justo, y á Matías.
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Y orando, dijeron: Tú, Señor, que conoces los corazones de todos, muestra cuál escoges de estos dos,
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 Para que tome el oficio de este ministerio y apostolado, del cual cayó Judas por transgresión, para irse á su lugar.
to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
26 Y les echaron suertes, y cayó la suerte sobre Matías; y fué contado con los once apóstoles.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
