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

¹Esimese raamatu, Teofilos, ma kirjutasin kõigest sellest, mida Jeesus algusest peale tegi ja õpetas

²until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

²kuni selle päevani, mil ta võeti üles taevasse pärast seda, kui ta apostlitele, keda ta oli valinud Püha Vaimu kaudu, oli andnud korraldusi.

³To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:

³Neile ta oli pärast oma kannatamist näidanud ennast elavana, tõendades seda mitmel viisil, ilmudes neile neljakümne päeva jooksul ja kõneldes Jumala riigist.

⁴and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [said he], ye heard from me:

⁴Kui siis Jeesus viibis koos nendega, keelas ta neil Jeruusalemmast lahkuda, käskides jääda ootama Isa tõotust, 'mis teie olete minult kuulnud.

⁵For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.

⁵Johannes on küll ristinud veega, aga teid ristitakse Püha Vaimuga üsna varsti pärast neid päevi.'

⁶They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

⁶Siis küsisid temalt need, kes olid kokku tulnud: 'Issand, kas sa sel ajal taastad Iisraeli kuningriigi?'

⁷And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority.

⁷Tema aga ütles neile: 'Ei ole teie osa teada aegu ja tunde, mis Isa on iseenese meelevallaga seadnud,

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

⁸vaid te saate väe Pühalt Vaimult, kes tuleb teie üle, ja te peate olema minu tunnistajad Jeruusalemmas ja kogu Juuda- ja Samaariamaal ning ilmamaa äärteni.'

⁹And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

⁹Kui Jeesus seda oli öelnud, tõsteti ta nende nähes üles ja pilv varjas ta nende silme eest.

¹⁰And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

¹⁰Kui nad taevasse vaatasid tema minekut, vaata, siis seisis nende juures kaks valgeis rõivais meest,

¹¹who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.

¹¹kes ütlesid: 'Galilea mehed, mis te seisate siin ja vaatate üles taevasse? See Jeesus, kes teilt võeti üles taevasse, tuleb samal kombel, nagu te nägite teda taevasse minevat.'

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

¹²Siis nad pöördusid tagasi Jeruusalemma mäelt, mida kutsutakse Õlimäeks ja mis on Jeruusalemma lähedal ühe hingamispäeva teekonna kaugusel.

¹³And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas [the son] of James.

¹³Ja kui nad linna tulid, läksid nad ülemisse tuppa, kus neil oli tavaks viibida: Peetrus ja Johannes ja Jaakobus ja Andreas ja Filippus ja Toomas, Bartolomeus ja Matteus, Jaakobus, Alfeuse poeg, ja seloot Siimon ja Juudas, Jaakobuse poeg.

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

¹⁴Nemad kõik olid püsivalt ühel meelel palvetamas koos Jeesuse ema Maarja ning naistega ja Jeesuse vendadega.

¹⁵And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons [gathered] together, about a hundred and twenty),

¹⁵Neil päevil tõusis Peetrus vendade keskel püsti - rahvast oli koos umbes sada kakskümmend inimest - ning ütles:

¹⁶Brethren, it was needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.

¹⁶'Mehed-vennad! Täide pidi minema kirjasõna, mis Püha Vaim on Taaveti suu läbi ette kuulutanud Juuda kohta, kellest sai Jeesuse kinnivõtjate teejuht.

¹⁷For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.

¹⁷Ta oli ju meie sekka arvatud ja sama teenimine oli temagi osa.

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

¹⁸Just tema hankis ülekohtu palgast enesele põllu, aga ta ise kukkus ülepeakaela alla, lõhkes keskelt ja kogu ta sisikond valgus välja.

¹⁹And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)

¹⁹See on saanud teatavaks kõigile Jeruusalemma elanikele, nii et seda põldu nende murdes kutsutakse Hakeldamaks, see tähendab Verepõlluks.

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

²⁰Laulude raamatusse on ju kirjutatud: 'Tema elupaik saagu tühermaaks ja ärgu elagu selles keegi', ja 'Tema ülevaatajaamet saagu teisele!'

²¹Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,

²¹Niisiis peab saama Jeesuse ülestõusmise tunnistajaks koos meiega üks neist meestest, kes on meie hulgas olnud kogu selle aja, mil Issand Jeesus meie juures käis sisse ja välja,

²²beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection.

²²alates Johannese ristimisest kuni päevani, mil ta meilt võeti üles.'

²³And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

²³Ja nad esitasid kaks meest: Joosepi, keda kutsutakse Barsabaseks, hüüdnimega Justus, ning Mattiase.

²⁴And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,

²⁴Siis nad palvetasid: 'Sina, Issand, kõikide südametundja - näita, kumma neist kahest sina oled valinud

²⁵to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.

²⁵saama selle teenimiskoha ja apostliameti, kust Juudas on tagasi astunud, et minna paika, kuhu ta kuulub.'

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

²⁶Ja nad heitsid liisku ja liisk langes Mattiase peale, ja tema arvati ühena kaheteistkümne apostli hulka.
