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

¹I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,

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

²until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;

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

³to whom also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern the kingdom of God;

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

⁴and, being assembled with [them], commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which [said he] ye have heard of me.

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

⁵For John indeed baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.

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

⁶They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?

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

⁷And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;

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.'

⁸but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

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

⁹And having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.

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

¹⁰And as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,

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.'

¹¹who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have beheld him going into heaven.

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

¹²Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called [the mount] of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off.

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.

¹³And when they were come into [the city], they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude [the brother] of James.

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

¹⁴These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

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

¹⁵And in those days Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names [who were] together [was] about a hundred and twenty,)

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

¹⁶Brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus;

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

¹⁷for he was numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this service.

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

¹⁸(This [man] then indeed got a field with [the] reward of iniquity, and, having fallen down headlong, burst in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

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

¹⁹And it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, field of blood.)

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

²⁰For it is written in [the] book of Psalms, Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership.

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,

²¹It is necessary therefore, that of the men who have assembled with us all [the] time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,

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

²²beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which he was taken up from us, one of these should be a witness with us of his resurrection.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁵to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place.

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

²⁶And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
