Mga Gawa 1
1 Teofilo, nabanggit sa unang aklat na aking isinulat ang lahat ng mga gawain na sinimulan at itinuro ni Jesus.
My first account, O Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus began doing and teaching from the beginning down to the day when,
2 Hanggang sa araw na siya ay tinanggap sa itaas. Ito ay matapos siyang bigyan ng utos sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Espiritu para sa mga Apostol na kaniyang pinili.
after giving instructions through the Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up to heaven.
3 Pagkatapos ng kaniyang paghihirap, iniharap niyang buhay ang kaniyang sarili sa kanila kasama ang marami pang mga kapani-paniwalang katibayan. Sa loob ng apatnapung araw, nagpakita siya sa kanila at nagsalita siya tungkol sa kaharian ng Diyos.
After his sufferings he had also shown himself alive to them in many convincing manifestations, revealing himself to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
4 Noong nakikipagkita pa siya sa kanila, iniutos niya sa kanila na huwag umalis ng Jerusalem, kundi maghintay sa pangako ng Ama na kung saan sinabi niya “Narinig ninyo mula sa akin
And once when he was eating with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father. "Of this," he said, "you have heard from me.
5 na tunay na nagbautismo si Juan gamit ang tubig, ngunit kayo ay mababautismuhan sa Banal na Espiritu sa mga susunod na araw.''
"For John indeed baptized in water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence."
6 Nang sama-sama silang nagkatipon tinanong nila siya, ''Panginoon, ito na ba ang oras na ibabalik mo ang kaharian sa Israel?''
So, when they came together, they began to ask him, "Master, are you at this time about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
7 Sinabi niya sa kanila, ''Hindi na para malaman ninyo ang mga oras o ang mga panahon na itinakda ng Ama sa kaniyang sariling kapamahalaan.
He answered. "It is not for you to know times and occasions which the Father has fixed in his own authority;
8 Ngunit makakatanggap kayo ng kapangyarihan, kapag sumainyo ang Banal na Espiritu at kayo ay magiging saksi ko sa Jerusalem at sa buong Judea at Samaria, at hanggang sa mga dulo ng mundo.''
"yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you are to be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the very ends of the earth."
9 Nang sabihin ng Panginoong Jesus ang mga bagay na ito, habang nakatingala sila, siya ay itinaas, at itinago siya ng ulap mula sa kanilang mga mata.
When he had said this, and while they were looking at him, he was lifted up, and a cloud received him up out of their sight.
10 Habang nakatitig sila sa langit nang siya ay paalis, bigla na lamang may dalawang lalaking nakatayo sa tabi nila na nakasuot ng puti.
While they were gazing into the sky as he was going up, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,
11 Sinabi nila, “Kayong mga lalaking taga-Galilea, bakit kayo nakatayo dito na nakatingin sa langit? Itong Jesus na umakyat sa langit ay babalik rin sa paraang katulad ng nakita ninyo na pagpunta niya sa langit.”
and they said. "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into the sky will come back in just the same way as you have seen him going into the sky."
12 At bumalik sila sa Jerusalem mula sa Bundok ng Olibo, na malapit sa Jerusalem, isang Araw ng Pamamahinga na paglalakbay.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, about a Sabbath Day’s journey distant.
13 Pagkarating nila, umakyat sila sa silid na nasa itaas, kung saan sila nananatili. Sila ay sina Pedro, Juan, Santiago, Andres, Filipe, Tomas, Bartolome, Mateo, Santiago na anak ni Alfeo, Simon na Makabayan at si Judas na anak ni Santiago.
On entering the city they went to the upper room where they were accustomed to meet. They were Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 Sama-sama silang nagkakaisa habang patuloy silang masigasig na nananalangin. Kasama rito ang mga kababaihang sina Maria na ina ni Jesus at ang kaniyang mga kapatid.
These all with one mind gave their constant attention to prayer, together with some women, and with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 Sa mga araw na iyon, tumayo si Pedro sa kalagitnaan ng mga kapatid, na halos 120 katao at sinabi,
It was during these days that Peter stood up among the brothers - the whole number of persons present was about one hundred and twenty - and said.
16 “Mga kapatid, kinailangan na ang kasulatan ay matupad, na ang Banal na Espiritu ay magsalita sa pamamagitan ng bibig ni David tungkol kay Judas, na siyang gumabay sa mga dumakip kay Jesus.
"Men and brothers, it was necessary for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit uttered beforehand by the lips of David in regard to Judas who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17 Sapagkat nakasama natin siya at tinanggap ang kaniyang bahagi ng kapakinabangan sa ministeryong ito.”
"For he was numbered among us, and he did get his allotted share of this ministry.
18 (Ngayon bumili ang taong ito ng bukid mula sa kaniyang natanggap kita dahil sa kaniyang kasamaan, at doon ay nahulog siya na nauna ang ulo, ang kanyang katawan ay sumambulat, at lahat ng kanyang bituka ay sumabog.
"Now this man bought a plot of ground with the price of his treachery, and falling there headlong he burst asunder and all his bowels gushed out.
19 Narinig ng lahat ng mga naninirahan sa Jerusalem ang tungkol dito, kaya tinawag nila ang bukid na iyon na “Akeldama,” na ang ibig sabihin sa kanilang salita ay, “Bukid ng Dugo”.)
"This fact became known to the people of Jerusalem so that the place was called in their language, Acheldamach, The Field of Blood.
20 “Sapagkat nasusulat sa Aklat ng Mga Awit, 'Hayaan ninyong walang manirahan sa kaniyang bukirin, at huwag ninyong hayaan ang kahit na isang tao na manirahan doon'; at 'Hayaang may isang tao na kumuha sa kanyang posisyon ng pamumuno.'
"For it is written in the Book of Psalms, Let his dwelling-place be desolate; Let no man dwell there, also, Let another take his work.
21 Ito ay kinakailangan, samakatuwid, na isa sa mga kalalakihang nakasama natin sa lahat ng oras nang ang Panginoong Jesus ay kasa-kasama pa natin,
"It is necessary then that, of the men who have been associated with us during the whole time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 simula sa pagbautismo ni Juan hanggang sa araw na kunin siya sa atin, dapat ay isa siyang saksing kasama natin sa kaniyang muling pagkabuhay.”
from his baptism by John down to the day on which he was taken up from us, one should join us a witness to his resurrection."
23 Naglapit sila sa harapan ng dalawang kalalakihan, si Jose na tinatawag na Barsabas, na pinangalanan ring Justo, at si Matias.
So they placed two in nomination, Joseph called Bar-Sabbas (surnamed Justas) and Matthias;
24 Nanalangin sila at sinabi, “Ikaw, Panginoon, ang nakakaalam ng puso ng lahat ng tao, kaya ipahayag mo kung sino sa dalawang ito ang iyong pinili
and they prayed, saying. "Thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show clearly which of these two men thou hast chosen to fill the place
25 upang pumalit sa gawaing ito at sa pagka-apostol mula nang si Judas ay lumabag upang magtungo sa kaniyang sariling lugar.''
"in this ministry of this apostles from which Judas went out to go to his own place."
26 Sila ay nagpalabunutan para sa kanila; at napunta kay Matias ang palabunutan at siya ang ibinilang na kasama ng labing-isang apostol.
Then they cast lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
