使徒行传 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
吩咐門徒等候聖靈
1 提阿非羅先生:我已經寫了前書,敘述耶穌開始所行所教的一切, 2 一直到他藉著聖靈吩咐所揀選的使徒之後,被接上升的日子為止。 3 他受難以後,用許多憑據向使徒顯示自己是活著的。他向使徒顯現,並且講論 神的國的事,有四十天之久。 4 耶穌和他們一同吃飯的時候,吩咐他們不要離開耶路撒冷,說:“你們要等候父的應許,就是你們聽我講過的, 5 約翰是用水施洗,但再過幾天,你們要受聖靈的洗。”
耶穌升天
6 他們聚集的時候,問耶穌說:“主啊,你要在這時候使以色列復國嗎?” 7 耶穌說:“父憑著自己的權柄所定的時間或日期,你們不必知道。 8 可是聖靈降臨在你們身上,你們就必領受能力,並且要在耶路撒冷、猶太全地、撒瑪利亞,直到地極,作我的見證人。” 9 說完了這話,他們還在看的時候,他被接上升,有一朵雲把他接去,就看不見他了。 10 當他往上升,他們定睛望天的時候,忽然有兩個人,身穿白衣,站在他們旁邊, 11 說:“加利利人哪,為甚麼站著望天呢?這位被接升天離開你們的耶穌,你們看見他怎樣往天上去,他也要怎樣回來。”
選出馬提亞作使徒
12 後來,他們從橄欖山回到耶路撒冷。那山靠近耶路撒冷,有一安息日可走的路程。 13 他們進了城,上了一間樓房,就是彼得、約翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力、多馬、巴多羅邁、馬太、亞勒腓的兒子雅各、激進派的西門、雅各的兒子猶大等人所住的。 14 這些人和幾個婦女,耶穌的母親馬利亞,還有他的兄弟們,都在一起,同心地恆切禱告。
15 那時,約有一百二十人聚會,彼得在眾弟兄中間站起來說: 16 “弟兄們,經上的話,就是聖靈藉著大衛的口,預言那領人捉拿耶穌的猶大的事,是一定會應驗的。 17 他本是我們中間的一個,一同領受了這職分。 18 他用不義的酬勞買了一塊田,結果倒頭栽了下去,腹破腸流。 19 這事住在耶路撒冷的人全都知道,所以按當地的話,那塊地稱為亞革大馬,意思就是‘血田’。 20 因為詩篇上寫著:
‘願他的住處變為荒場,
無人居在其中。’
又說:
‘願別人取代他的職分。’
21-22 所以,從約翰施洗起,直到主離開我們被接上升的那天為止,當他在我們中間來往的時候,那些跟我們常在一起的人中,應該有一個人出來與我們一同作耶穌復活的見證人。” 23 於是他們提出兩個人:約瑟(號稱巴撒巴,又名猶士都)和馬提亞, 24 就禱告說:“主啊!你知道萬人的心,求你從這兩個人中,指明你要揀選誰, 25 來承擔這使徒的職位和工作。這職位猶大已經放棄,往他自己的地方去了。” 26 大家就為他們抽籤,結果抽中了馬提亞,他就與十一使徒同列。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
应许圣灵降临
1 提阿非罗啊,在前一封信中,我从耶稣的生平和教导开始, 2 一直谈到祂借着圣灵吩咐了自己选立的使徒,然后被接回天上。 3 祂受难后用许多确凿的证据证实自己活着,在四十天之内屡次向使徒显现,与他们谈论上帝的国。 4 有一次,耶稣和他们在一起吃饭的时候,叮嘱他们:“你们不要离开耶路撒冷,要在那里等候我对你们说过的天父的应许。 5 因为从前约翰用水给你们施洗,但再过几天,你们要受圣灵的洗。”
6 他们跟耶稣在一起的时候问祂:“主啊,你要在这时候复兴以色列国吗?” 7 耶稣回答说:“天父照祂的权柄定下的时间、日期不是你们可以知道的。 8 但圣灵降临在你们身上后,你们必得到能力,在耶路撒冷、犹太全境和撒玛利亚,直到地极,做我的见证人。”
9 耶稣说完这番话,就在他们眼前被提升天,被一朵云彩接去,离开了他们的视线。 10 祂上升时,他们都定睛望着天空,忽然有两个身穿白衣的人站在他们身旁, 11 说:“加利利人啊!你们为什么站在这里望着天空呢?这位离开你们被接到天上的耶稣,你们看见祂怎样升天,将来祂还要怎样回来。”
选立新使徒
12 于是,他们从橄榄山回到耶路撒冷。橄榄山距离耶路撒冷不远,约是安息日允许走的路程[a]。 13 他们进城后,来到楼上自己住的房间。当时有彼得、约翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力、多马、巴多罗买、马太、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、激进党人西门、雅各的儿子犹大。 14 他们和耶稣的母亲玛丽亚、耶稣的弟弟们及几个妇女在一起同心合意地恒切祷告。
15 那时,约有一百二十人在聚会,彼得站起来说: 16 “弟兄们,关于带人抓耶稣的犹大,圣灵借着大卫的口早已预言,这经文必须要应验。 17 这人原本是我们中间的一员,与我们同担使徒的职分。”
18 犹大用作恶得来的钱买了一块田,他头朝下栽倒在那里,肚破肠流。 19 这消息很快传遍了耶路撒冷,当地人称那块田为“亚革大马”,就是“血田”的意思。
20 彼得继续说:“诗篇上写道,‘愿他的家园一片荒凉,无人居住’,又说,‘愿别人取代他的职位。’ 21-22 所以,我们必须另选一个人代替犹大,与我们一同为主耶稣的复活做见证。他必须是从主耶稣接受约翰的洗礼起一直到主升天,始终与我们在一起的人。”
23 被提名的有别号巴撒巴又叫犹士都的约瑟和马提亚两个人。 24-25 大家便祷告说:“主啊!你洞悉人的内心,求你指明这两个人中你要拣选哪一个来担负使徒的职分。犹大丢弃了这职分,去了他该去的地方。” 26 然后,他们抽签,抽中了马提亚,就把他列入十一使徒中。

Acts 1
EasyEnglish Bible
Jesus speaks to his apostles and he goes up to heaven
1 Jesus did many things when he was living on earth. He also taught people many things. I told you about all these things in the first book that I wrote for you, Theophilus.[a] 2 Those are the things that Jesus did before God took him up into heaven. Jesus had chosen some men to be his apostles. With the power of the Holy Spirit he told them what they must do. 3 After Jesus died on the cross, he became alive again. During the 40 days after that, he showed himself many times to his apostles. He showed himself in different ways. Then they could be really sure that he was alive again. During this time, Jesus spoke to his apostles about the kingdom of God.[b]
4 One time, when Jesus and his apostles were together, he said to them, ‘Do not leave Jerusalem yet. You must wait there until you receive my Father's gift. My Father promised to give it to you. I have already told you about it. 5 John baptized people with water, but after a few days God will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.’
6 While Jesus' apostles were together with him, they asked him, ‘Lord, at this time will you now give the kingdom back to us, the people of Israel?’
7 Jesus replied, ‘My Father decides when things will happen in the world. You do not need to know the day or the time when this will happen. 8 But the Holy Spirit will come to you, and he will give you power. The Holy Spirit will make your spirit strong. Then you will tell other people everywhere in the world about me. You will do that in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria and in places far away.’
9 When Jesus had finished speaking to his apostles, God took him up to heaven. The apostles watched Jesus while he went up. Then a cloud hid him and they could not see him any more.
10 The apostles were still looking carefully up into the sky when suddenly two men appeared.[c] They were wearing white clothes and they stood near the apostles.
11 The men said to the apostles, ‘You men from Galilee, you should not still be standing here and looking up into the sky. God has taken Jesus into heaven. You saw the way that Jesus went up to heaven. One day, he himself will return in the same way.’
The apostles choose Matthias
12 Then the apostles left the Mount of Olives.[d] They returned to Jerusalem. This was a walk of about 1 kilometre. 13 When the apostles arrived back in Jerusalem, they went to their room. The room where they were staying was upstairs. Those apostles were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; also James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.[e]
14 All these apostles often met together to pray. Mary who was Jesus' mother, other women and Jesus' brothers also met with them. 15 One day, about 120 people who believed in Jesus were meeting together. Peter stood up and he said to them, 16 ‘My friends, long ago, the Holy Spirit gave King David a message to speak from God.[f] He spoke about the things that Judas would do. Judas was the one who showed the soldiers how to catch Jesus. These things had to happen in the way that David wrote in the Bible long ago.[g] 17 Judas belonged to our group of disciples. Jesus chose him to work together with us.’
18 Judas received some money for the bad thing that he did. He bought a field with that money. But he fell down in that field and he died. His body broke open and the inside parts of his body poured out. 19 All the people who lived in Jerusalem heard about his death. So they called that field ‘Akeldama’ in their own language. ‘Akeldama’ means ‘The Field of Blood’.[h]
20 Peter then said, ‘This is what King David wrote in the book of Psalms:
“Let the house that he lived in become empty,
so that nobody lives in it.”[i]
David also wrote:
“Let somebody else do the job which he did.” ’[j]
21 Peter then said, ‘Because of this, we must choose another man instead of Judas. That man must have been one of our group all the time that the Lord Jesus was with us. 22 That is, from the time when John was baptizing people until the time when Jesus went up to heaven. He must be someone who saw Jesus become alive again after he died, as we did.’
23 So the apostles agreed the names of two men. One of them was Joseph. People also called him Barsabbas and sometimes people called him Justus. The other man was called Matthias. 24 Then the whole group prayed, ‘Lord, you know what everybody is really like. Please show us which man you have chosen. 25 Which of these two men do you want to be an apostle instead of Judas? Judas left his work as an apostle. He has now gone to the place where he belongs.’
26 Then the group used lots to choose the name of one man. It happened that they chose Matthias. So Matthias now became the 12th apostle, together with the other 11 men.

Actes 1
Louis Segond
1 Théophile, j'ai parlé, dans mon premier livre, de tout ce que Jésus a commencé de faire et d'enseigner dès le commencement
2 jusqu'au jour où il fut enlevé au ciel, après avoir donné ses ordres, par le Saint Esprit, aux apôtres qu'il avait choisis.
3 Après qu'il eut souffert, il leur apparut vivant, et leur en donna plusieurs preuves, se montrant à eux pendant quarante jours, et parlant des choses qui concernent le royaume de Dieu.
4 Comme il se trouvait avec eux, il leur recommanda de ne pas s'éloigner de Jérusalem, mais d'attendre ce que le Père avait promis, ce que je vous ai annoncé, leur dit-il;
5 car Jean a baptisé d'eau, mais vous, dans peu de jours, vous serez baptisés du Saint Esprit.
6 Alors les apôtres réunis lui demandèrent: Seigneur, est-ce en ce temps que tu rétabliras le royaume d'Israël?
7 Il leur répondit: Ce n'est pas à vous de connaître les temps ou les moments que le Père a fixés de sa propre autorité.
8 Mais vous recevrez une puissance, le Saint Esprit survenant sur vous, et vous serez mes témoins à Jérusalem, dans toute la Judée, dans la Samarie, et jusqu'aux extrémités de la terre.
9 Après avoir dit cela, il fut élevé pendant qu'ils le regardaient, et une nuée le déroba à leurs yeux.
10 Et comme ils avaient les regards fixés vers le ciel pendant qu'il s'en allait, voici, deux hommes vêtus de blanc leur apparurent,
11 et dirent: Hommes Galiléens, pourquoi vous arrêtez-vous à regarder au ciel? Ce Jésus, qui a été enlevé au ciel du milieu de vous, viendra de la même manière que vous l'avez vu allant au ciel.
12 Alors ils retournèrent à Jérusalem, de la montagne appelée des oliviers, qui est près de Jérusalem, à la distance d'un chemin de sabbat.
13 Quand ils furent arrivés, ils montèrent dans la chambre haute où ils se tenaient d'ordinaire; c'étaient Pierre, Jean, Jacques, André, Philippe, Thomas, Barthélemy, Matthieu, Jacques, fils d'Alphée, Simon le Zélote, et Jude, fils de Jacques.
14 Tous d'un commun accord persévéraient dans la prière, avec les femmes, et Marie, mère de Jésus, et avec les frères de Jésus.
15 En ces jours-là, Pierre se leva au milieu des frères, le nombre des personnes réunies étant d'environ cent vingt. Et il dit:
16 Hommes frères, il fallait que s'accomplît ce que le Saint Esprit, dans l'Écriture, a annoncé d'avance, par la bouche de David, au sujet de Judas, qui a été le guide de ceux qui ont saisi Jésus.
17 Il était compté parmi nous, et il avait part au même ministère.
18 Cet homme, ayant acquis un champ avec le salaire du crime, est tombé, s'est rompu par le milieu du corps, et toutes ses entrailles se sont répandues.
19 La chose a été si connue de tous les habitants de Jérusalem que ce champ a été appelé dans leur langue Hakeldama, c'est-à-dire, champ du sang.
20 Or, il est écrit dans le livre des Psaumes: Que sa demeure devienne déserte, Et que personne ne l'habite! Et: Qu'un autre prenne sa charge!
21 Il faut donc que, parmi ceux qui nous ont accompagnés tout le temps que le Seigneur Jésus a vécu avec nous,
22 depuis le baptême de Jean jusqu'au jour où il a été enlevé du milieu de nous, il y en ait un qui nous soit associé comme témoin de sa résurrection.
23 Ils en présentèrent deux: Joseph appelé Barsabbas, surnommé Justus, et Matthias.
24 Puis ils firent cette prière: Seigneur, toi qui connais les coeurs de tous, désigne lequel de ces deux tu as choisi,
25 afin qu'il ait part à ce ministère et à cet apostolat, que Judas a abandonné pour aller en son lieu.
26 Ils tirèrent au sort, et le sort tomba sur Matthias, qui fut associé aux onze apôtres.
Acts 1
New International Version
Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven
1 In my former book,(A) Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach(B) 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven,(C) after giving instructions(D) through the Holy Spirit to the apostles(E) he had chosen.(F) 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them(G) over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.(H) 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait(I) for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.(J) 5 For John baptized with[a] water,(K) but in a few days you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.”(L)
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore(M) the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.(N) 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;(O) and you will be my witnesses(P) in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,(Q) and to the ends of the earth.”(R)
9 After he said this, he was taken up(S) before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white(T) stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,”(U) they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back(V) in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem(W) from the hill called the Mount of Olives,(X) a Sabbath day’s walk[c] from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room(Y) where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.(Z) 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer,(AA) along with the women(AB) and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.(AC)
15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) 16 and said, “Brothers and sisters,[d](AD) the Scripture had to be fulfilled(AE) in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas,(AF) who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus. 17 He was one of our number(AG) and shared in our ministry.”(AH)
18 (With the payment(AI) he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field;(AJ) there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language(AK) Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms:
and,
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, 22 beginning from John’s baptism(AN) to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness(AO) with us of his resurrection.”
23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed,(AP) “Lord, you know everyone’s heart.(AQ) Show us(AR) which of these two you have chosen 25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” 26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.(AS)
