Act 1:1Prīmum quidem sermōnem fēcī dē omnibus, ō Theophile, quae coepit Jēsūs facere et docēre ūsque in diem quā praecipiēns Apostolīs per Spīritum Sānctum, quōs ēlēgit, assūmptus est: quibus et praebuit sēipsum vīvum post passiōnem suam in multīs argūmentīs, per diēs quadrāgintā appārēns eīs, et loquēns dē regnō Deī.The first account indeed I made about all things, O Theophilus, which Jesus began to do and to teach, until the day on which, having given orders through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom he chose, he was taken up: to whom also he showed himself alive after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them through forty days, and speaking about the kingdom of God. Act 1:4Et convescēns, praecēpit eīs ab Jerosolymīs nē discēderent, sed exspectārent prōmissiōnem Patris, quam audīstis (inquit) per ōs meum: quia Jōannēs quidem baptizāvit aquā, vōs autem baptizābiminī Spīritū Sānctō nōn post multōs hōs diēs.And eating together with them, he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, "which you have heard" (he says) "through my mouth: because John indeed baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days after these."
Act 1:6Igitur quī convēnerant, interrogābant eum, dīcentēs: Domine, sī in tempore hōc restituēs regnum Isrāël?So those who had come together were asking him, saying: "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" Act 1:7Dīxit autem eīs: Nōn est vestrum nōsse tempora vel mōmenta quae Pater posuit in suā potestāte: sed accipiētis virtūtem supervenientis Spīritūs Sānctī in vōs, et eritis mihi testēs in Jerūsalem, et in omnī Jūdaeā, et Samariā, et ūsque ad ultimum terrae.But he said to them: "It is not yours to know the times or moments which the Father has placed in his own power: but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit coming upon you, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and as far as the furthest part of the earth." Act 1:9Et cum haec dīxisset, videntibus illīs, ēlevātus est: et nūbēs suscēpit eum ab oculīs eōrum.And when he had said these things, while they were watching, he was lifted up: and a cloud took him up from their eyes. Act 1:10Cumque intuērentur in caelum euntem illum, ecce duo virī astitērunt jūxtā illōs in vestibus albīs, quī et dīxērunt: Virī Galilaeī, quid stātis aspicientēs in caelum?And while they were gazing into heaven at him going, look, two men stood beside them in white clothes, who also said: "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven?
Act 1:11Hic Jēsūs, quī assūmptus est ā vōbīs in caelum, sīc veniet quemadmodum vīdistis eum euntem in caelum.This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come thus in the way that you saw him going into heaven." Act 1:12Tunc reversī sunt Jerosolymam ā monte quī vocātur Olīvētī, quī est jūxtā Jerūsalem, sabbatī habēns iter.Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount which is called Olivet, which is beside Jerusalem, having a sabbath's journey. Act 1:13Et cum introīssent in coenāculum, ascendērunt ubi manēbant Petrus, et Jōannēs, Jacōbus, et Andreās, Philippus, et Thōmās, Bartholomaeus, et Matthaeus, Jacōbus Alphaeī, et Simōn Zēlōtēs, et Jūdas Jacōbī.And when they had gone into the upper room, they went up to where were staying Peter, and John, James, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas of James. Act 1:14Hī omnēs erant persevērantēs ūnanimiter in ōrātiōne cum mulieribus, et Marīā mātre Jēsū, et frātribus ejus.These all were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. Act 1:15In diēbus illīs, exsurgēns Petrus in mediō frātrum, dīxit (erat autem turba hominum simul, ferē centum vīgintī): Virī frātrēs, oportet implērī Scrīptūram quam praedīxit Spīritus Sānctus per ōs David dē Jūdā, quī fuit dux eōrum quī comprehendērunt Jēsum: quī connumerātus erat in nōbīs, et sortītus est sortem ministeriī hujus.In those days, Peter, rising up in the midst of the brothers, said (and the crowd of people together was about a hundred and twenty): "Men, brothers, it is necessary for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David about Judas, who was the guide of those who seized Jesus: who had been numbered among us, and obtained by lot the lot of this ministry.
Act 1:18Et hic quidem possēdit agrum dē mercēde inīquitātis, et suspēnsus crepuit medius: et diffūsa sunt omnia viscera ejus.And this man indeed got possession of a field out of the wages of wickedness, and having been hanged he burst in the middle: and all his bowels were poured out. Act 1:19Et notum factum est omnibus habitantibus Jerūsalem, ita ut appellārētur ager ille, linguā eōrum, Haceldama, hoc est, ager sanguinis.And it was made known to all those living in Jerusalem, so that that field was called, in their tongue, Haceldama, that is, the field of blood. Act 1:20Scrīptum est enim in librō Psalmōrum: Fīat commorātiō eōrum dēserta, et nōn sit quī inhabitet in eā: et episcopātum ejus accipiat alter.For it is written in the book of Psalms: 'Let their dwelling be made deserted, and let there not be anyone to dwell in it: and his office of overseer let another receive.' Act 1:21Oportet ergō ex hīs virīs quī nōbīscum sunt congregātī in omnī tempore quō intrāvit et exīvit inter nōs Dominus Jēsūs, incipiēns ā baptismate Jōannis ūsque in diem quā assūmptus est ā nōbīs, testem resurrēctiōnis ejus nōbīscum fierī ūnum ex istīs.It is necessary therefore, out of these men who have been gathered with us in all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us, that one of these become a witness of his resurrection with us."
Act 1:23Et statuērunt duōs, Jōsēph, quī vocābātur Barsabas, quī cognōminātus est Jūstus, et Mathiam.And they set up two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. Act 1:24Et ōrantēs dīxērunt: Tū Domine, quī corda nōstī omnium, ostende quem ēlēgerīs ex hīs duōbus ūnum, accipere locum ministeriī hujus et apostolātūs, dē quō praevāricātus est Jūdās ut abīret in locum suum.And praying they said: "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one out of these two you have chosen, to take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas turned aside, so that he might go away to his own place." Act 1:26Et dedērunt sortēs eīs, et cecidit sors super Mathiam: et annumerātus est cum ūndecim Apostolīs.And they gave lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias: and he was counted in with the eleven Apostles.
