¹The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

¹Prvo knjigo torej sem napisal, o Teofil, o vsem, kar je začel Jezus delati in učiti

²Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

²do dneva, ko je bil gori vzet, potem ko je dal zapovedi apostolom po svetem Duhu, ki jih je bil izvolil;

³To whom also he shewed 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:

³ki se jim je tudi živega izkazal po svojem trpljenju z mnogimi prepričevalnimi znamenji, ko se jim je štirideset dni prikazoval in govoril o kraljestvu Božjem.

⁴And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

⁴In ko je bil ž njimi zbran, jim je zapovedal, naj ne odidejo iz Jeruzalema, temuč naj čakajo obljube Očetove, ‚ki ste jo slišali od mene;

⁵For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

⁵kajti Janez je sicer krstil z vodo, ali vi boste krščeni s svetim Duhom ne dolgo po teh dneh‘.

⁶When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

⁶Ti pa, ki so se bili sešli, so ga torej vpraševali, govoreč: Gospod, ali boš v tem času vnovič postavil kraljestvo v Izraelu?

⁷And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

⁷On pa jim reče: Ni vaša stvar, da bi znali čase in ure, ki jih je določil Oče po svoji samooblasti;

⁸But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

⁸temuč prejmete moč, ko pride sveti Duh na vas, in boste mi priče v Jeruzalemu in po vsej Judeji in Samariji in do kraja zemlje.

⁹And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

⁹In ko je to povedal, se je vzdignil vpričo njih; in oblak ga je vzel izpred njih oči.

¹⁰And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

¹⁰In ko so strmeli za njim, gredočim v nebo, glej, pristopita k njim dva moža v beli obleki,

¹¹Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

¹¹ki tudi rečeta: Možje Galilejci, kaj stojite in zrete na nebo? Ta Jezus, ki je bil vzet od vas gori v nebo, prav tako pride, kakor ste ga videli, da je šel v nebo.

¹²Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

¹²Tedaj so se vrnili v Jeruzalem z gore, ki se imenuje Oljska in je blizu Jeruzalema, en sobotni dan hoda.

¹³And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode 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.

¹³In ko so prišli v mesto, stopijo v gornjo izbo, kjer so prebivali: Peter in Jakob in Janez in Andrej, Filip in Tomaž, Bartolomej in Matevž, Jakob Alfejev in Simon Gorečnik in Juda Jakobov.

¹⁴These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

¹⁴Vsi ti so bili ene misli stanovitni v molitvi, z ženami in Marijo, materjo Jezusovo, in z brati njegovimi.

¹⁵And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

¹⁵In v te dni vstane Peter sredi bratov in reče (bila pa je zbrana množica kakih sto in dvajset oseb):

¹⁶Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

¹⁶Možje in bratje, moralo se je izpolniti pismo, ki ga je napovedal sveti Duh z usti Davidovimi o Judu, ki je bil vodnik tem, ki so ujeli Jezusa.

¹⁷For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

¹⁷Kajti prištet je bil nam in je z nami prejel delež te službe.

¹⁸Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

¹⁸Ta je torej pridobil njivo s plačilom svoje krivičnosti in se je, padši strmoglavo, po sredi razpočil in se je izsul ves drob njegov.

¹⁹And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

¹⁹In to se je razglasilo med vsemi, ki prebivajo v Jeruzalemu, tako da se imenuje tista njiva v lastnem njih jeziku Akeldama, to je: Krvava njiva.

²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

²⁰Pisano je namreč v knjigi psalmov: „Pusto naj postane domovje njegovo, in ne bodi nikogar, ki bi prebival v njem“; in „Škofjo službo njegovo naj prejme drugi“.

²¹Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

²¹Zato mora eden teh mož, ki so z nami hodili ves čas, dokler je Gospod Jezus z nami prebival,

²²Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

²²začenši od krsta Janezovega prav do dne, ko je bil gori vzet od nas: eden teh mož mora biti z nami vred priča vstajenja njegovega.

²³And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

²³In postavijo dva: Jožefa, ki se imenuje Barsaba, s priimkom Just, in Matija,

²⁴And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

²⁴molijo in reko: Ti, Gospod, ki poznaš srca vseh, pokaži, katerega od teh dveh si izvolil,

²⁵That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

²⁵da prejme mesto te službe in apostolstva, ki je od njega odstopil Juda, da je šel v svoj kraj.In vržejo kocke zanju, in kocka pade na Matija; in prištet je bil enajsterim apostolom.

²⁶And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

²⁶In vržejo kocke zanju, in kocka pade na Matija; in prištet je bil enajsterim apostolom.
