| [1]I have made the former treatise, O Theophilus, of all that JESUS began to do, and teach, |
[1]The book first I wrote Oh Theophila about all things those began our Lord Ieshu The Messiah to do and to teach |
| [2]Until the day, that he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost, had given commandments unto the Apostles, whom he had chosen: |
[2]Until day that in which He was taken up from after that commanded He had them the Apostles which He had chosen by The Spirit of Holiness |
| [3]To whom also he presented himself alive after that he had suffered, by many infallible tokens, being seen of them by the space of forty days, and speaking of those things which appertain to the kingdom of God. |
[3]Those whom also He showed to them Himself as alive from after He had suffered by signs many in days forty when appearing He was to them and He spoke about the Kingdom of Alaha |
| [4]And when he had gathered them together, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which said he, ye have heard of me. |
[4]And while He ate with them bread He commanded them that from Jerusalem not to depart but to wait for the promise of The Father that which you have heard from Me |
| [5]For John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost within these few days. |

[6]They but when they were assembled they asked Him and they were saying to Him our Lord if in this time are restoring You the kingdom to Israel |
| [7]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, |
[7]He said to them that not was yours this to know time or times which The Father has placed them in the authority of Himself |
| [8]But ye shall receive power of the Holy Ghost, when he shall come on you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. |
[8]But when will come The Spirit of Holiness upon you you shall receive power and you shall be to Me witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and also among the Samaritans and unto the borders of the earth |
| [9]And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up: for a cloud took him up out of their sight. |
[9]And when these things He had said as they saw Him He was taken up and a cloud received Him and He was hidden from their eyes |
| [10]And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven, as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, |
[10]And when gazing they were into the sky as He going was were present two men standing with them in clothing white |
| [11]Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing into heaven? This Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as ye have seen him go into heaven. |
[11]And they were saying to them men Galilean why? stand you and gaze into the sky this Ieshu Who was taken up from you to Heaven in this way He shall come as when you have seen Him going up into Heaven |
| [12]� Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount that is called the Mount of Olives, which is near to Jerusalem, containing a Sabbath day's journey. |

[13]And from after they entered they came up themselves to an upper room that staying were in which Petros and Yokhanan and Yaqob and Andraeus and Philipus and Thoma and Matthai and Bar Tholmai and Yaqob Bar Halphai and Shimeon the Zealot and Yehuda Bar Yaqob |
| [14]These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. |
[14]These all of them as one continuing were in prayer in one soul with the women and with Maryam the mother of Ieshu and with His brothers |
| [15]� And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples and said (now the number of names that were in one place, were about an hundred and twenty.) |
[15]And among them in the days those stood Shimeon Kaypha in the midst of the disciples there were but there assembled men about a hundred and twenty and he said |
| [16]Ye men and brethren, this Scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before of Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. |
[16]Men brethren right it was that should be fulfilled the scripture which that before said The Spirit of Holiness by the mouth of Dawid about Yehuda he who was the guide to those who seized Ieshu |

| [18]He therefore hath purchased a field with the reward of iniquity: and when he had thrown down himself headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. |
[18]This is he who purchased for himself a field from the reward of sin and he fell on his face on the ground and burst from within him and poured out all his insides |
| [19]And it is known unto all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in so much, that that field is called in their own language, Aceldama, that is, The field of blood. |
[19]And is this known to all of them who live in Jerusalem and so was called field that in the language of the region Haqel Dama of which is its translation Field of Blood |
| [20]For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be void, and let no man dwell therein: also, Let another take his charge. |

[24]And when they had prayed they said You the Lord know what is in the hearts of all show the one which have chosen You from these two |
| [25]That he may take the room of this ministration and Apostleship, from which Judas hath gone astray, to go to his own place. |
[25]That he would receive a part of the ministry and Apostleship from which withdrew Yehudah that he should go to it to his place |
| [26]Then they gave forth their lots: and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was by a common consent counted with the Eleven Apostles |
[26]And they cast lots and it came up to Matthaia and he was numbered with eleven the Apostles |
