Binuhatan 1
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
1 Hinigugma ko nga Teofilus:
Sa akon una nga libro ginsulat ko ang tanan nga ginpanghimo kag ginpanudlo ni Jesus halin sang pagsugod niya sang iya buluhaton 2-3 hasta sa tion nga gindala siya pa-langit. Sa tapos siya napatay kag nabanhaw, makapila siya nagpakita sa nagkalain-lain nga paagi sa iya mga apostoles sa pagpamatuod nga nabanhaw siya. Sa sulod sang 40 ka adlaw nagpakita siya sa ila kag gintudluan niya sila parte sa paghari sang Dios. Kag sa wala pa siya makapa-langit, may mga sugo siya nga ginbilin sa iya ginpili nga mga apostoles. Ato nga mga sugo ginhatag niya paagi sa gahom sang Espiritu Santo. 4 Isa sadto ka tion, samtang nagakaon si Jesus kaupod nila, nagsiling siya, “Indi kamo anay maghalin sa Jerusalem. Hulaton ninyo ang Espiritu Santo nga ginpromisa sang Dios nga Amay. Ginsugid ko na ini sa inyo sang una. 5 Nagpangbautiso si Juan sa tubig, pero sa pila ka adlaw pagabautisohan kamo sa Espiritu Santo.”
Ang Pagkayab ni Jesus pa-Langit
6 Isa ka tion, samtang nagatilipon sila, ginpamangkot nila si Jesus, “Ginoo, amo na bala ini ang tion nga patindugon mo liwat ang ginharian sang Israel?”[a] 7 Nagsabat si Jesus, “Wala kamo ginatuguti sang Amay nga mahibaluan ninyo kon san-o matabo ang mga butang nga iya gintalana.[b] 8 Pero pag-abot sang Espiritu Santo sa inyo, hatagan niya kamo sing gahom. Dayon isugid ninyo ang mga butang parte sa akon, halin diri sa Jerusalem hasta sa bug-os nga Judea kag Samaria, kag hasta sa bug-os nga kalibutan.”[c] 9 Pagkatapos niya hambal sini, gindala siya pa-langit. Kag sang nagatulok sila sa iya nga nagapaibabaw, ginlikupan siya sang panganod kag dayon nadula siya sa ila panulok.
10 Samtang sige ang ila tan-aw sa langit, may duha ka lalaki nga nagabayo sang puti nga hinali lang nga nagtindog malapit sa ila 11 kag nagsiling, “Kamo nga mga taga-Galilea, ngaa nagatindog pa kamo diri nga nagatangla sa langit? Ining Jesus nga inyo nakita nga gindala paibabaw magabalik diri sa kalibutan. Kag kon paano siya nagpaibabaw, sa amo man sina nga paagi ang iya pagbalik.”
Nagpili ang mga Apostoles Kon Sin-o ang Ibulos kay Judas
12 Pagkatapos sadto, nagbalik ang mga apostoles sa Jerusalem halin sa Bukid sang mga Olibo. Ini nga bukid mga isa ka kilometro ang kalayuon halin sa siyudad sang Jerusalem. 13 Pag-abot nila sa Jerusalem, nagsaka sila sa ibabaw nga kuwarto sang balay nga ila ginadayunan. Sila amo sanday Pedro, Juan, Santiago, Andres, Felipe, Tomas, Bartolome, Mateo, Santiago nga anak ni Alfeus, Simon (nga sang una rebelde sa gobyerno sang Roma), kag si Judas nga anak ni Santiago. 14 Ini sila permi nagatipon agod magpangamuyo. Kaupod man nila ang pila ka mga babayi pati si Maria nga iloy ni Jesus, kag ang mga utod nga lalaki ni Jesus.
15 Sang nagligad ang pila ka adlaw, nagtipon ang mga 120 ka tumuluo. Nagtindog si Pedro kag naghambal, 16 “Mga utod, kinahanglan matuman ang ginsiling sang Kasulatan nga gintagna sang Espiritu Santo sang una paagi kay David. Ini parte kay Judas nga amo ang naggiya sa mga nagdakop kay Jesus. 17 Kaupod siya namon nga mga apostoles nga ginpili ni Jesus, kag bahin siya sang amon buluhaton.”
18 (Pero nagbakal si Judas sang duta halin sa kuwarta nga iya nabaton sa malaot nga buhat, kag didto nahulog siya nga una ang ulo. Nabusdik ang iya tiyan kag nagwagay ang iya tinai. 19 Nahibaluan ini sang tanan nga tawo sa Jerusalem, gani gintawag nila ato nga lugar Akeldama, nga kon sayuron, “Duta sang Dugo.”[d]) 20 Nagsiling pa gid si Pedro, “Nasulat sa mga Salmo,
‘Pabay-i na lang ang iya ginaestaran,
kag dapat wala na sing may mag-estar didto.’[e]
Kag nasulat man,
‘Ihatag na lang sa iban ang iya katungdanan.’[f]
21-22 “Gani kinahanglan nga magpili kita sang isa ka tawo nga ibulos kay Judas, nga magbulig sa aton sa pagpamatuod nga nabanhaw si Jesus. Kinahanglan isa siya sang mga kaupod naton nga nag-alagad kay Ginoong Jesus sang diri pa siya sa kalibutan, halin sang pagpangbautiso ni Juan hasta sa tion nga gindala si Jesus pa-langit.” 23 Gani duha ka lalaki ang ila ginpilian: si Matias kag si Jose nga ginatawag Barsabas (ukon Justus). 24 Kag antes sila magpili, nagpangamuyo sila, “Ginoo, ikaw ang nakahibalo sang tagipusuon sang tanan nga tawo. Gani ipahayag sa amon kon sin-o sa duha nga ini ang imo ginpili 25 nga mangin apostol sa pagbulos kay Judas. Kay ginbayaan ni Judas ang iya obra bilang isa ka apostol, kag nagkadto siya sa lugar nga bagay sa iya.” 26 Pagkatapos nila pangamuyo, naggabot-gabot sila. Kag ang napilian amo si Matias. Gani si Matias amo ang gindugang sa onse ka apostoles.

使 徒 行 傳 1
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
路加写另一部书

耶稣被接进天堂
6 当使徒们聚在一起时,他们问耶稣∶“主,现在是您把他们王国再赐给以色列人的时候吗?”
7 耶稣答道∶“天父以他的权威确定的日期和时刻,不是你们可以知道的。 8 但是,当圣灵来到你们身上的时候,你们将会领受到力量;你们将在耶路撒冷、在犹太和撒玛利亚全境,直至天涯海角,做我的见证人。”
9 说完这话,耶稣便在他们的注视下被升上天空。一片云遮掩着他,挡住了他们的视线。 10 当他离去时,他们都目不转睛地仰视着天空,突然有两个身穿白衣的人,站在他们的身边。 11 对他们说∶“加利利人啊,你们为什么站在这里望着天空呢?这个从你们这里被接进天堂的耶稣,你们看到他怎样到天堂去的,他还会怎样回来的。”
挑选一名新使徒
12 这之后,他们便从橄榄山返回了耶路撒冷。橄榄山离耶路撒冷大约有一公里的路程。 13 他们到达后,便到楼上他们住的那间屋子去了。这些人是彼得、约翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力和多马、巴得罗买和马太、亚勒腓的儿子雅各,激进派的西门和雅各的儿子犹大。
14 这些人时常聚在一起虔诚地祈祷。加入他们的还有一些妇女,其中有耶稣的母亲马利亚和他的兄弟。
15 几天之后,信徒们聚在一起,(大约120人)彼得站在他们中间说: 16 “弟兄们,圣灵借大卫之口,在《经》上预言犹大领人逮捕耶稣的事情,是不能不应验的。 17 这个人曾是我们中的一员,和我们一同工作过。”
18 (这个人用他做恶的钱买了一块地。结果一头栽在那里,五脏迸裂而死,连肠子都流出来了。 19 所有住在耶路撒冷的人都听说了这件事,于是便用他们的语言给那块土地起了一个名字,叫亚革大马,意思是“血田”。)
20 “因为《诗篇》书中记载说:
‘愿他的住地荒芜,
永无人烟。’ (A)
并且说:
‘愿另一个人顶替他侍奉的位置。’ (B)
23 使徒便推举出了两个人:一个是约瑟,人们又叫他巴撒巴(也叫犹士都);另一个人是马提亚。 24 然后,他们祷告说∶“主,你知道我们所有人的心,请您指出从这两个人中,你选中了谁做为使徒, 25 来顶替做为使徒这个侍奉的位置,就是犹大去了属于他的地方所留下的位置。” 26 他们在两个名字中抽了签。签子落到了马提亚的身上,他就加入了十一个使徒的行列。
Acts 1
The Voice
Luke, in this his second volume concerning the genesis of the Christian movement, doesn’t preserve Jesus’ teachings during those mysterious meetings with His emissaries after His death. Surely they are filled with joy, curiosity, and amazement as His followers hang on His every word and gaze on the reality of His bodily resurrection as He describes the kingdom of God. His words are undoubtedly intended to prepare each of them for this journey, a journey with a clear destination in sight—the kingdom of God.
An integral part of this kingdom is the activity of the Holy Spirit to empower the people of God as they expand the kingdom beyond the region of Palestine. Luke records surprisingly little about the day-to-day life of these early Christians, about how they integrated their faith into their culture; but he does emphasize the work of the Spirit who empowers miracles and gives believers the means to testify of their faith before Jews and the outsiders.
1 To a lover of God, Theophilus: In my first book, I recounted the events of Jesus’ life—His actions, His teachings— 2-3 from the beginning of His life until He was taken up into heaven. After His great suffering and vindication, He showed His apostles that He was alive—appearing to them repeatedly over a period of 40 days, giving them many convincing proofs of His resurrection. As before, He spoke constantly of the kingdom of God. During these appearances, He had instructed His chosen messengers through the Holy Spirit, 4 prohibiting them from leaving Jerusalem, but rather requiring them to wait there until they received what He called “the promise of the Father.”
Jesus: This is what you heard Me teach— 5 that just as John ritually cleansed people with water through baptism,[a] so you will be washed with the Holy Spirit very soon.
6 When they had gathered just outside Jerusalem at the Mount of Olives, they asked Jesus,
Disciples: Is now the time, Lord—the time when You will reestablish Your kingdom in our land of Israel?
Jesus: 7 The Father, on His own authority, has determined the ages and epochs of history, but you have not been given this knowledge. 8 Here’s the knowledge you need: you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. And you will be My witnesses, first here in Jerusalem, then beyond to Judea and Samaria, and finally to the farthest places on earth.
9 As He finished this commission, He began to rise from the ground before their eyes until the clouds obscured Him from their vision. 10 As they strained to get one last glimpse of Him going into heaven, the Lord’s emissaries[b] realized two men in white robes were standing among them.
Two Men: 11 You Galileans, why are you standing here staring up into the sky? This Jesus who is leaving you and ascending to heaven will return in the same way you see Him departing.
12 Then the disciples returned to Jerusalem—their short journey from the Mount of Olives was an acceptable Sabbath Day’s walk.
13-14 Back in the city, they went to the room where they were staying—a second-floor room. This whole group devoted themselves to constant prayer with one accord: Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James (son of Alphaeus), Simon (the Zealot), Judas (son of James), a number of women including Mary (Jesus’ mother), and some of Jesus’ brothers.
15 As the disciples prayed, Peter stood among the group of about 120 people and made this proposal:
The Creator of heaven and earth is orchestrating a redemptive story that will radically change the course of history. The most significant supernatural event in the history of this newly formed church will be the filling of the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, God will direct the church’s growth. But how does the early church make important decisions before the Holy Spirit descends on them?
The company of disciples turns to the practice of “drawing lots,” a practice used by saints for centuries to discover God’s providential leading. After much prayer, Joseph and Matthias most likely write their names on scraps; then someone draws the replacement’s name out of a bag. What seems like a 50/50 chance is, in fact, God’s way of imparting His will. The disciples aren’t putting their faith in “chance”; they are putting their faith in a God who lives. This living God isn’t distant; He is a player in their lives, active when His people seek Him and His will. They know God directs the process, start to finish, and determines whose name is drawn to join the eleven.
Peter: 16-17 My friends, everything in the Hebrew Scriptures had to be fulfilled, including what the Holy Spirit foretold through David about Judas. As you know, Judas was one of us and participated in our ministry until he guided the authorities to arrest Jesus. 18 (He was paid handsomely for his betrayal, and he bought a field with the blood money. But he died on that land—falling so that his abdomen burst and his internal organs gushed out. 19 News of this death spread to everyone in Jerusalem, so Judas’s property is known as Hakeldama, which means “field of blood.”) 20 In this way, one of David’s psalms was fulfilled: “May their camps be bleak, with not one left in any tent.”[c] But the psalms also include these words: “Let his position of oversight be given to another.”[d] 21 So we need to determine his replacement from among the men who have been with us during all of the Lord Jesus’ travels among us— 22 from His baptism[e] by John until His ascension. We need someone to join us as a witness of Jesus’ resurrection.
23 The group put forward two men: Joseph (who was also known as Barsabbas or Justus) and Matthias.
Disciples: 24 Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Make it clear to us which of these two is Your choice 25 to take on this ministry as Your apostle, replacing Judas who went his own way to his own destination.
26 Then they drew lots, and the lot fell to Matthias, so he was added to the eleven apostles to reconstitute the twelve.
