Acts 1

Τον μεν πρωτον λογον εκαμον, ω Θεοφιλε, περι παντων οσα ηρχισεν ο Ιησους να καμνη και να διδασκη,

The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

μεχρι της ημερας καθ ην ανεληφθη, αφου δια Πνευματος Αγιου εδωκεν εντολας εις τους αποστολους, τους οποιους εξελεξεν

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:

εις τους οποιους και εφανερωσεν εαυτον ζωντα μετα το παθος αυτου δια πολλων τεκμηριων, εμφανιζομενος εις αυτους τεσσαρακοντα ημερας και λεγων τα περι της βασιλειας του Θεου.

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:

Και συνερχομενος μετ αυτων, παρηγγειλε να μη απομακρυνθωσιν απο Ιεροσολυμων, αλλα να περιμενωσι την επαγγελιαν του Πατρος, την οποιαν ηκουσατε, ειπε, παρ εμου.

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.

Διοτι ο μεν Ιωαννης εβαπτισεν εν υδατι, σεις ομως θελετε βαπτισθη εν Πνευματι Αγιω ουχι μετα πολλας ταυτας ημερας.

For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Εκεινοι λοιπον συνελθοντες ηρωτων αυτον, λεγοντες Κυριε, ταχα εν τω καιρω τουτω αποκαθιστανεις την βασιλειαν εις τον Ισραηλ;

When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

Ειπε δε προς αυτους Δεν ανηκει εις εσας να γνωριζητε τους χρονους η τους καιρους, τους οποιους ο Πατηρ εθεσεν εν τη ιδια αυτου εξουσια,

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.

αλλα θελετε λαβει δυναμιν, οταν επελθη το Αγιον Πνευμα εφ υμας, και θελετε εισθαι εις εμε μαρτυρες και εν Ιερουσαλημ και εν παση τη Ιουδαια και Σαμαρεια και εως εσχατου της γης.

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 Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Και αφου ειπε ταυτα, βλεποντων αυτων ανεληφθη, και νεφελη υπελαβεν αυτον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων.

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Και ενω ησαν ατενιζοντες εις τον ουρανον οτε αυτος ανεβαινεν, ιδου, ανδρες δυο με ιματια λευκα εσταθησαν πλησιον αυτων,

And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

οιτινες και ειπον Ανδρες Γαλιλαιοι, τι ιστασθε εμβλεποντες εις τον ουρανον; ουτος ο Ιησους, οστις ανεληφθη αφ υμων εις τον ουρανον, θελει ελθει ουτω καθ ον τροπον ειδετε αυτον πορευομενον εις τον ουρανον.

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.

Τοτε υπεστρεψαν εις Ιερουσαλημ απο του ορους του καλουμενου Ελαιωνος, το οποιον ειναι πλησιον της Ιερουσαλημ, απεχον οδον σαββατου.

Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

Και οτε εισηλθον, ανεβησαν εις το ανωγεον, οπου ειχον το καταλυμα, ο Πετρος και Ιακωβος και Ιωαννης και Ανδρεας, Φιλιππος και Θωμας, Βαρθολομαιος και Ματθαιος, Ιακωβος Αλφαιου και Σιμων ο Ζηλωτης και Ιουδας Ιακωβου.

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.

Ουτοι παντες ενεμενον ομοθυμαδον εις την προσευχην και την δεησιν μετα των γυναικων και Μαριας της μητρος του Ιησου και μετα των αδελφων αυτου.

These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

Και εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις σηκωθεις ο Πετρος εις το μεσον των μαθητων, ειπεν ητο δε ο αριθμος των εκει παροντων ως εκατον εικοσιν

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,)

Ανδρες αδελφοι, επρεπε να πληρωθη η γραφη αυτη, την οποιαν προειπε το Πνευμα το Αγιον δια στοματος του Δαβιδ περι του Ιουδα, οστις εγεινεν οδηγος εις τους συλλαβοντας τον Ιησουν,

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.

διοτι ητο συνηριθμημενος με ημας και ελαβε την μεριδα της διακονιας ταυτης.

For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

Ουτος λοιπον απεκτησεν αγρον εκ του μισθου της αδικιας, και πεσων προμυττα εσχισθη εις το μεσον, και εξεχυθησαν ολα τα εντοσθια αυτου

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.

και εγεινε γνωστον εις παντας τους κατοικουντας την Ιερουσαλημ, ωστε ο αγρος εκεινος ωνομασθη εν τη ιδια αυτων διαλεκτω Ακελδαμα, τουτεστιν, αγρος αιματος.

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.

Διοτι ειναι γεγραμμενον εν τω βιβλιω των Ψαλμων Ας γεινη η κατοικια αυτου ερημος και ας μη ηναι ο κατοικων εν αυτη και, Αλλος ας λαβη την επισκοπην αυτου.

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.

Πρεπει λοιπον εκ των ανδρων, οιτινες συνηλθον μεθ ημων καθ ολον τον καιρον, καθ ον εισηλθε και εξηλθε προς ημας ο Κυριος Ιησους,

Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

αρχισας απο του βαπτισματος του Ιωαννου εως της ημερας καθ ην ανεληφθη αφ ημων, εις εκ τουτων να γεινη μεθ ημων μαρτυς της αναστασεως αυτου.

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.

Και εστησαν δυο, Ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον Βαρσαβαν, οστις επωνομασθη Ιουστος, και Ματθιαν.

And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

Και προσευχηθεντες ειπον Συ, Κυριε, καρδιογνωστα παντων, αναδειξον εκ των δυο τουτων ενα, οντινα εξελεξας,

And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

δια να λαβη την μεριδα της διακονιας ταυτης και αποστολης, εκ της οποιας εξεπεσεν ο Ιουδας δια να απελθη εις τον τοπον αυτου.

That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

Και εδωκαν τους κληρους αυτων, και επεσεν ο κληρος εις τον Ματθιαν, και συγκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων.

And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
