Atti degli Apostoli 1

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Primum quidem sermonem feci de omnibus, o Theophile, quae coepit Iesusfacere et docere,	1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 usque in diem, qua, cum praecepisset apostolis per SpiritumSanctum, quos elegit, assumptus est;	2 Until 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:
3 quibus et praebuit seipsum vivum postpassionem suam in multis argumentis, per dies quadraginta apparens eis etloquens ea, quae sunt de regno Dei.	3 To 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:
4 Et convescens praecepit eis abHierosolymis ne discederent, sed exspectarent promissionem Patris: “ Quamaudistis a me,	4 And, 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.
5 quia Ioannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autem baptizabimini inSpiritu Sancto non post multos hos dies ”.	5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 Igitur qui convenerant, interrogabant eum dicentes: “ Domine, si in temporehoc restitues regnum Israeli? ”.	6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 Dixit autem eis: “ Non est vestrum nossetempora vel momenta, quae Pater posuit in sua potestate,	7 And 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.
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 ”.	8 But 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.
9 Et cum haec dixisset, videntibus illis, elevatus est, et nubes suscepit eum aboculis eorum.	9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Cumque intuerentur in caelum, eunte illo, ecce duo viriastiterunt iuxta illos in vestibus albis,	10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
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 ”.	11 Which 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.
12 Tunc reversi sunt in Ierusalem a monte, qui vocatur Oliveti, qui est iuxtaIerusalem sabbati habens iter.	12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
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.	13 And 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.
14 Hi omnes erant perseverantes unanimiter in oratione cum mulieribus et Mariamatre Iesu et fratribus eius.	14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 Et in diebus illis exsurgens Petrus in medio fratrum dixit — erat autemturba hominum simul fere centum viginti C:	15 And 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,)
16 “ Viri fratres, oportebatimpleri Scripturam, quam praedixit Spiritus Sanctus per os David de Iuda, quifuit dux eorum, qui comprehenderunt Iesum,	16 Men 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.
17 quia connumeratus erat in nobis etsortitus est sortem ministerii huius.	17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 Hic quidem possedit agrum de mercedeiniquitatis; et pronus factus crepuit medius, et diffusa sunt omnia visceraeius.	18 Now 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.
19 Et notum factum est omnibus habitantibus Ierusalem, ita ut appellareturager ille lingua eorum Aceldamach, hoc est ager Sanguinis.	19 And 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.
20 Scriptum est enimin libro Psalmorum: “Fiat commoratío eius deserta, et non sit qui inhabitet in ea” et: “Episcopatum eius accipiat alius”.	20 For 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.
21 Oportet ergo ex his viris, qui nobiscum congregati erant in omni tempore, quointravit et exivit inter nos Dominus Iesus,	21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 incipiens a baptismate Ioannisusque in diem, qua assumptus est a nobis, testem resurrectionis eius nobiscumfieri unum ex istis ”.	22 Beginning 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.
23 Et statuerunt duos, Ioseph, qui vocabatur Barsabbas, qui cognominatus estIustus, et Matthiam.	23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Et orantes dixerunt: “ Tu, Domine, qui corda nostiomnium, ostende quem elegeris ex his duobus unum	24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 accipere locum ministeriihuius et apostolatus, de quo praevaricatus est Iudas, ut abiret in locum suum”.	25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 Et dederunt sortes eis, et cecidit sors super Matthiam, et annumeratusest cum undecim apostolis.	26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
