Taking up (ἀνάλημψις analēmpsis)

When the days for Jesus to be taken up were fulfilled, He resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem. (Lk 9:51)

Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἀναλήμψεως αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς τὸ πρόσωπον ἐστήρισεν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.

Factum est autem dum complerentur dies assumptionis eius, et ipse faciem suam firmavit ut iret in Ierusalem.
