Acts of the Apostles 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught	1 Primum quidem sermonem feci de omnibus, o Theophile, quae coepit Iesusfacere et docere,
2 until the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.	2 usque in diem, qua, cum praecepisset apostolis per SpiritumSanctum, quos elegit, assumptus est;
3 He presented himself alive to them by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.	3 quibus et praebuit seipsum vivum postpassionem suam in multis argumentis, per dies quadraginta apparens eis etloquens ea, quae sunt de regno Dei.
4 While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for "the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak;	4 Et convescens praecepit eis abHierosolymis ne discederent, sed exspectarent promissionem Patris: “ Quamaudistis a me,
5 for John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the holy Spirit."	5 quia Ioannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autem baptizabimini inSpiritu Sancto non post multos hos dies ”.
6 When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"	6 Igitur qui convenerant, interrogabant eum dicentes: “ Domine, si in temporehoc restitues regnum Israeli? ”.
7 He answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.	7 Dixit autem eis: “ Non est vestrum nossetempora vel momenta, quae Pater posuit in sua potestate,
8 But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."	8 sed accipietisvirtutem, superveniente Sancto Spiritu in vos, et eritis mihi testes et inIerusalem et in omni Iudaea et Samaria et usque ad ultimum terrae ”.
9 When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.	9 Et cum haec dixisset, videntibus illis, elevatus est, et nubes suscepit eum aboculis eorum.
10 While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.	10 Cumque intuerentur in caelum, eunte illo, ecce duo viriastiterunt iuxta illos in vestibus albis,
11 They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven."	11 qui et dixerunt: “ Viri Galilaei,quid statis aspicientes in caelum? Hic Iesus, qui assumptus est a vobis incaelum, sic veniet quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in caelum ”.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away.	12 Tunc reversi sunt in Ierusalem a monte, qui vocatur Oliveti, qui est iuxtaIerusalem sabbati habens iter.
13 When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.	13 Et cum introissent, in cenaculum ascenderunt,ubi manebant et Petrus et Ioannes et Iacobus et Andreas, Philippus et Thomas,Bartholomaeus et Matthaeus, Iacobus Alphaei et Simon Zelotes et Iudas Iacobi.
14 All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.	14 Hi omnes erant perseverantes unanimiter in oratione cum mulieribus et Mariamatre Iesu et fratribus eius.
15 During those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (there was a group of about one hundred and twenty persons in the one place). He said,	15 Et in diebus illis exsurgens Petrus in medio fratrum dixit — erat autemturba hominum simul fere centum viginti C:
16 "My brothers, the scripture had to be fulfilled which the holy Spirit spoke beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was the guide for those who arrested Jesus.	16 “ Viri fratres, oportebatimpleri Scripturam, quam praedixit Spiritus Sanctus per os David de Iuda, quifuit dux eorum, qui comprehenderunt Iesum,
17 He was numbered among us and was allotted a share in this ministry.	17 quia connumeratus erat in nobis etsortitus est sortem ministerii huius.
18 He bought a parcel of land with the wages of his iniquity, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle, and all his insides spilled out.	18 Hic quidem possedit agrum de mercedeiniquitatis; et pronus factus crepuit medius, et diffusa sunt omnia visceraeius.
19 This became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem, so that the parcel of land was called in their language 'Akeldama,' that is, Field of Blood.	19 Et notum factum est omnibus habitantibus Ierusalem, ita ut appellareturager ille lingua eorum Aceldamach, hoc est ager Sanguinis.
20 For it is written in the Book of Psalms: 'Let his encampment become desolate, and may no one dwell in it.' And: 'May another take his office.'	20 Scriptum est enimin libro Psalmorum: “Fiat commoratío eius deserta, et non sit qui inhabitet in ea” et: “Episcopatum eius accipiat alius”.
21 Therefore, it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus came and went among us,	21 Oportet ergo ex his viris, qui nobiscum congregati erant in omni tempore, quointravit et exivit inter nos Dominus Iesus,
22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us, become with us a witness to his resurrection."	22 incipiens a baptismate Ioannisusque in diem, qua assumptus est a nobis, testem resurrectionis eius nobiscumfieri unum ex istis ”.
23 So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.	23 Et statuerunt duos, Ioseph, qui vocabatur Barsabbas, qui cognominatus estIustus, et Matthiam.
24 Then they prayed, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen	24 Et orantes dixerunt: “ Tu, Domine, qui corda nostiomnium, ostende quem elegeris ex his duobus unum
25 to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."	25 accipere locum ministeriihuius et apostolatus, de quo praevaricatus est Iudas, ut abiret in locum suum”.
26 Then they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was counted with the eleven apostles.	26 Et dederunt sortes eis, et cecidit sors super Matthiam, et annumeratusest cum undecim apostolis.
