Acts 2
1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And whanne the daies of Pentecost weren fillid, alle the disciplis weren togidre in the same place.
2 Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And sodeynli ther was maad a sown fro heuene, as of a greet wynde comynge, and it fillide al the hous where thei saten.
3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
And diuerse tungis as fier apperiden to hem, and it sat on ech of hem.
4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
And alle weren fillid with the Hooli Goost, and thei bigunnen to speke diuerse langagis, as the Hooli Goost yaf to hem for to speke.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
And ther weren in Jerusalem dwellinge Jewis, religiouse men, of ech nacioun that is vndur heuene.
6 When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
And whanne this vois was maad, the multitude cam togidere, and thei weren astonyed in thouyt, for ech man herde hem spekinge in his langage.
7 They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?
And alle weren astonyed, and wondriden, and seiden togidere, Whether not alle these that speken ben men of Galyle,
8 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
and hou herden we ech man his langage in which we ben borun?
9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
Parthi, and Medi, and Elamyte, and thei that dwellen at Mesopotami, Judee, and Capodosie, and Ponte,
10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
and Asie, Frigie, and Pamfilie, Egipt, and the parties of Libie, that is aboue Sirenen, and `comelingis Romayns, and Jewis,
11 Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
and proselitis, men of Crete, and of Arabie, we han herd hem spekynge in oure langagis the grete thingis of God.
12 They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
And alle weren astonyed, and wondriden, `and seiden togidere, What wole this thing be?
13 Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
And othere scorneden, and seiden, For these men ben ful of must.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
But Petre stood with the enleuene, and reiside vp his vois, and spak to hem, Ye Jewis, and alle that dwellen at Jerusalem, be this knowun to you, and with eris perseyue ye my wordis.
15 For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.
For not as ye wenen, these ben dronkun, whanne it is the thridde our of the dai;
16 But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
but this it is, that was seid bi the prophete Johel,
17 ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
And it schal be in the laste daies, the Lord seith, Y schal helde out my spirit on ech fleisch; and youre sones and youre douytris schulen prophesie, and youre yonge men schulen se visiouns, and youre eldris schulen dreme sweuenes.
18 Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
And on my seruauntis and myn handmaidens in tho daies Y schal schede out of my spirit, and thei schulen prophecie.
19 I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
And Y schal yyue grete wondris in heuene aboue, and signes in erthe bynethe, blood, and fier, and heete of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
The sunne schal be turned in to derknessis, and the moone in to blood, bifor that the greet and the opyn dai of the Lord come.
21 It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
And it schal be, ech man which euere schal clepe to help the name of the Lord, schal be saaf.
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, even as you yourselves know,
Ye men of Israel, here ye these wordis. Jhesu of Nazareth, a man preued of God bifor you bi vertues, and wondris, and tokenes, which God dide bi hym in the myddil of you,
23 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
as ye witen, ye turmentiden, and killiden hym bi the hoondis of wyckid men, bi counseil determyned and bitakun bi the forknouwyng of God.
24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
Whom God reiside, whanne sorewis of helle weren vnboundun, bi that that it was impossible that he were holdun of it.
25 For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
For Dauid seith of hym, Y saiy afer the Lord bifore me euermore, for he is on my riythalf, that Y be not mouyd.
26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
For this thing myn herte ioiede, and my tunge made ful out ioye, and more ouere my fleisch schal reste in hope.
27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
For thou schalt not leeue my soule in helle, nethir thou schalt yiue thin hooli to se corrupcioun. (Hadēs g86)
28 You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
Thou hast maad knowun to me the weies of lijf, thou schalt fille me in myrthe with thi face.
29 “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
Britheren, be it leueful boldli to seie to you of the patriark Dauid, for he is deed and biried, and his sepulcre is among vs in to this dai.
30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
Therfore whanne he was a prophete, and wiste, that with a greet ooth God hadde sworn to hym, that of the fruyt of his leende schulde oon sitte on his seete,
31 he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay. (Hadēs g86)
he seynge afer spak of the resurreccioun of Crist, for nether he was left in helle, nether his fleisch saiy corrupcioun. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
God reiside this Jhesu, to whom we alle ben witnessis.
33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear.
Therfor he was enhaunsid bi the riythoond of God, and thorouy the biheest of the Hooli Goost that he took of the fadir, he schedde out this spirit, that ye seen and heren.
34 For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand
For Dauid stiede not in to heuene; but he seith, The Lord seide to my Lord,
35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
Sitte thou on my riyt half, til Y putte thin enemyes a stool of thi feet.
36 “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
Therfor moost certeynli wite al the hous of Israel, that God made hym bothe Lord and Crist, this Jhesu, whom ye crucefieden.
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
Whanne thei herden these thingis, thei weren compunct in herte; and thei seiden to Petre and othere apostlis, Britheren, what schulen we do?
38 Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
And Petre seide to hem, Do ye penaunce, and eche of you be baptisid in the name of Jhesu Crist, in to remissioun of youre synnes; and ye schulen take the yifte of the Hooli Goost.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”
For the biheest is to you, and to youre sones, and to alle that ben fer, which euer oure Lord God hath clepid.
40 With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
Also with othere wordis ful many he witnesside to hem, and monestide hem, and seide, Be ye sauyd fro this schrewid generacioun.
41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
Thanne thei that resseyueden his word weren baptisid, and in that dai soulis weren encreesid, aboute thre thousinde;
42 They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
and weren lastynge stabli in the teching of the apostlis, and in comynyng of the breking of breed, in preieris.
43 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
And drede was maad to ech man. And many wondris and signes weren don bi the apostlis in Jerusalem, and greet drede was in alle.
44 All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
And alle that bileueden weren togidre, and hadden alle thingis comyn.
45 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
Thei selden possessiouns and catel, and departiden tho thingis to alle men, as it was nede to ech.
46 Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
And ech dai thei dwelliden stabli with o wille in the temple, and braken breed aboute housis, and token mete with ful out ioye and symplenesse of herte,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
and herieden togidere God, and hadden grace to al the folk. And the Lord encreside hem that weren maad saaf, ech dai in to the same thing.
