Mga Gawa 1
Ang Biblia (1978)
1 Ang unang kasaysayan na ginawa ko, Oh (A)Teofilo, ay tungkol sa lahat na pinasimulang ginawa at itinuro ni Jesus,
2 Hanggang sa araw na tanggapin siya sa kaitaasan, (B)pagkatapos na makapagbigay siya ng mga utos sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo, (C)sa mga apostol na kaniyang hinirang;
3 Na sa kanila nama'y napakita rin siyang buhay, sa pamamagitan ng maraming mga katunayan, (D)pagkatapos na siya'y makapaghirap, na napakikita sa kanila sa loob ng apat na pung araw, at nagpahayag ng mga bagay tungkol sa kaharian ng Dios:
4 At, palibhasa'y nakikipagpulong sa kanila, ay ipinagutos niya sa kanila (E)na huwag silang magsialis sa Jerusalem, kundi hintayin (F)ang pangako ng Ama, na sinabi niyang narinig ninyo sa akin:
5 Sapagka't tunay na si Juan ay (G)nagbautismo ng tubig; datapuwa't kayo'y (H)babautismuhan sa Espiritu Santo na di na malalaunan pa.
6 Tinanong nga siya nila nang sila'y nangagkakatipon, na nangagsasabi, Panginoon, (I)isasauli mo baga ang kaharian sa Israel sa panahong ito?
7 At sinabi niya sa kanila, (J)Hindi ukol sa inyo ang pagkaalam ng mga panahon o ng mga bahagi ng panahon, na itinakda ng Ama sa kaniyang sariling kapamahalaan.
8 Datapuwa't tatanggapin ninyo ang kapangyarihan, pagdating sa inyo ng Espiritu Santo: at kayo'y magiging mga (K)saksi ko sa Jerusalem, at sa buong Judea at (L)Samaria, at hanggang sa kahulihulihang hangganan ng lupa.
9 At pagkasabi niya ng mga bagay na ito, nang siya'y tinitingnan nila, (M)ay dinala siya sa itaas; at siya'y tinanggap ng isang alapaap at ikinubli sa kanilang mga paningin.
10 At samantalang tinititigan nila ang langit habang siya'y lumalayo, narito may dalawang (N)lalaking nangakatayo sa tabi nila (O)na may puting damit;
11 Na nangagsabi naman, Kayong mga lalaking taga Galilea, bakit kayo'y nangakatayong tumitingin sa langit? itong si Jesus, na tinanggap sa langit mula sa inyo, ay paparitong (P)gaya rin ng inyong nakitang pagparoon niya sa langit.
12 Nang magkagayon ay (Q)nangagbalik sila sa Jerusalem buhat sa tinatawag na bundok ng mga Olivo, na malapit sa Jerusalem, (R)na isang araw ng sabbath lakarin.
13 At nang sila'y magsipasok sa bayan, ay nagsiakyat sila (S)sa silid sa itaas, na kinatitirahan nila; ni (T)Pedro at ni Juan at ni Santiago at ni Andres, ni Felipe at ni Tomas, ni Bartolome at ni Mateo, ni Santiago na anak ni Alfeo, at ni Simong Masikap, at ni Judas na anak ni Santiago.
14 Ang lahat ng mga ito'y (U)nagsisipanatiling matibay na (V)nangagkakaisa sa pananalangin (W)na kasama ang mga babae, at si Maria na ina ni Jesus, at pati ng mga kapatid (X)niya.
15 At nang mga araw na ito'y nagtindig si Pedro sa gitna ng mga kapatid, at nagsabi (at nangagkakatipon ang karamihang mga tao, na may isang daa't dalawangpu),
16 Mga kapatid, kinakailangang matupad ang kasulatan, (Y)na nang una ay sinalita ng Espiritu Santo, sa pamamagitan ng bibig ni David tungkol kay Judas, (Z)na siyang pumatnugot sa nagsihuli kay Jesus.
17 Sapagka't siya'y (AA)ibinilang sa atin, at siya'y tumanggap ng kaniyang bahagi sa ministeriong (AB)ito.
18 (AC)(Kumuha nga ang taong ito ng isang parang sa pamamagitan ng (AD)ganti sa kaniyang katampalasanan; at sa pagpapatihulog ng patiwarik, ay pumutok siya sa gitna, at sumambulat ang lahat ng mga laman ng kaniyang tiyan.
19 At ito'y nahayag sa lahat ng mga nagsisitahan sa Jerusalem; ano pa't tinawag ang parang na yaon sa kanilang wika na Aceldama, sa makatuwid baga'y, (AE)Ang parang ng Dugo.)
20 Sapagka't nasusulat sa aklat ng Mga Awit,
(AF)Bayaang mawalan nawa ng tao ang kaniyang tahanan,
At huwag bayaang manahan doon ang sinoman;
at,
(AG)Bayaang kunin ng iba ang kaniyang katungkulan.
21 Sa mga taong ito nga na nangakisama sa atin sa buong panahon na ang Panginoong si Jesus ay pumapasok at lumalabas sa atin,
22 Magmula sa pagbautismo ni Juan, hanggang sa araw na (AH)siya'y tanggapin sa itaas mula sa atin, ay nararapat na ang isa sa mga ito'y maging saksi (AI)na kasama natin sa kaniyang pagkabuhay na maguli.
23 At kanilang ibinukod ang dalawa, si Jose na tinatawag na Barsabas, na pinamagatang Justo, at si Matias.
24 At (AJ)sila'y nagsipanalangin, at nagsipagsabi, Ikaw, Panginoon, na nakatataho ng mga puso ng lahat ng mga tao, ay ipakilala mo kung alin sa dalawang ito ang iyong hinirang,
25 Upang tanggapin ang katungkulan sa ministeriong ito at (AK)pagkaapostol na kinahulugan ni Judas, upang siya'y makaparoon (AL)sa kaniyang sariling kalalagyan.
26 At sila'y pinagsapalaran nila; at nagkapalad si Matias; at siya'y ibinilang sa labingisang apostol.
Acts 1
Lexham English Bible
The Preface
1 I produced the former account, O Theophilus, about all that[a] Jesus began to do and to teach, 2 until the day he was taken up, after he[b] had given orders through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen, 3 to whom he also presented himself alive after he suffered, with many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking the things about the kingdom of God. 4 And while he[c] was with[d] them,[e] he commanded them, “Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for what was promised by the Father, which you heard about from me. 5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”[f]
The Ascension
6 So when[g] they had come together, they began asking[h] him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” 7 But he said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when[i] the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth.” 9 And after he[j] had said these things, while[k] they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their sight. 10 And as they were staring into the sky while[l] he was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood by them 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee,[m] why do you stand there looking[n] into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven like this will come back in the same way you saw him departing into heaven!”
Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain that is called Olive Grove[o] which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.[p] 13 And when they had entered, they went up to the upstairs room where they were staying—Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas son of James. 14 All these were busily engaged with one mind in prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with[q] his brothers.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and it was a crowd of persons of about one hundred twenty at the same place) and[r] said, 16 “Men and brothers, it was necessary that the scripture be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit proclaimed beforehand through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus, 17 because he was counted among us and received a share in this ministry.” 18 (Now this man acquired a field for the wages of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines spilled out. 19 And it became known to all who live in Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own language[s] “Akeldama,” that is, “Field of Blood.”) 20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms,
‘Let his residence become deserted,
and let there be no one to live in it,’[t]
and,
‘Let another person take his position.’[u]
21 Therefore it is necessary for one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us—one of these men must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.” 23 And they proposed two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was called Justus) and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and[v] said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show clearly which one of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to depart to his own place.” 26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was added to serve[w] with the eleven apostles.
