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

¹The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

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

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

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.

³To 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.

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;

⁴Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.

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

⁵ For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

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

⁶Therefore when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”

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

⁷He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.

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.

⁸ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”

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

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

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

¹⁰While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,

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.

¹¹who 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.”

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

¹²Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

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.

¹³When 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.

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

¹⁴All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

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

¹⁵In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,

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.

¹⁶“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.

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

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

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

¹⁸Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.

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.

¹⁹It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’

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“.

²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell therein;’ Psalm 69:25 and, ‘Let another take his office.’ Psalm 109:8

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

²¹“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

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.

²²beginning 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.”

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

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

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

²⁴They prayed, and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

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.

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

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

²⁶They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
