Acts 2
1 And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place.
And when the days of pentecost were fully come, while they were all assembled together,
2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
suddenly there was a sound from heaven, as of a violent wind; and the whole house where they were sitting was filled with it.
3 And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.
And there appeared to them tongues, which were divided like flame; and they rested upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in diverse languages, as the Spirit gave them to speak.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
Now there were resident at Jerusalem persons who feared God, Jews from all the nations under heaven.
6 And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language.
And when that sound occurred, all the people collected together; and they were agitated, because they every one heard them speaking in their own languages.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilæans?
And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another: All these who speak behold, are they not Galileans?
8 And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born?
And how do we hear, each his own language, in which we were born?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judæa and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling between the rivers, Jews and Cappadocians, and those from the region of Pontus and of Asia,
10 in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
and those from the region of Phrygia, and of Pamphylia, and of Egypt, and of the parts of Lybia near Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews and proselytes;
11 Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God.
and those from Crete, and Arabians. Lo, we hear them speak in our own languages the wonders of God.
12 And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
And they all wondered and were astonished, saying one to another: From whom is this thing?
13 But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.
Others however ridiculed them, saying: They have drunken new wine, and are intoxicated.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, [saying], Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words.
And afterwards Simon Cephas rose up, with the eleven legates, and elevated his voice, and said to them: Men, Jews, and all ye that reside at Jerusalem; be this known to you, and hearken ye to my words.
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day;
For these are not intoxicated, as ye suppose: for lo, it is yet but the third hour.
16 but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:
But this is what was spoken by Joel the prophet:
17 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams:
It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons shall prophesy, and your daughters and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
And upon: my servants and my handmaids will I pour my Spirit, in those days, and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
And I will give signs in heaven, and prodigies on earth, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable [day]:
And the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and fearful day of the Lord come.
21 And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
And it shall be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord, shall live.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know;
Men, sons of Israel, hear ye these words: Jesus the Nazarean, a man made manifest among you by God, by those deeds of power and prodigies which God wrought among you by his hand, as ye yourselves know;
23 him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay:
him, being hereto appointed by the prescience and the good pleasure of God, ye have delivered into the hands of the wicked; and have crucified and slain.
24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
But God hath resuscitated him, and hath loosed the cords of the grave; because it could not be, that he should be held in the grave.
25 For David saith concerning him, I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
For David said of him: I foresaw my Lord at all times; for he is on my right hand, so that I shall not be moved.
26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:
Therefore my heart doth rejoice, and my glory exult, and also my body shall abide in hope.
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul unto Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
For thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave, nor wilt thou give thy pious one to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.
Thou hast revealed to me the path of life; thou wilt fill me with joy with thy presence.
29 Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day.
Men, brethren, I may speak to you explicitly of the patriarch David, that he died, and also was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this day.
30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set [one] upon his throne;
For he was a prophet, and he knew, that God had sworn to him by an oath: Of the fruit of thy bowels, I will seat one on thy throne.
31 he foreseeing [this] spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left unto Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
And he foresaw, and spoke of the resurrection of Messiah, that he was not left in the grave, neither did his body see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses.
This Jesus hath God resuscitated; and we all are his witnesses.
33 Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear.
And he it is, who is exalted by the right hand of God, and hath received from the Father a promise respecting the Holy Spirit, and hath sent this gift which, lo, ye see and hear.
34 For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
For David hath not ascended into heaven; because he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, seat thyself at my right hand,
35 Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
until I shall place thy enemies a footstool to thy feet.
36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.
Therefore, let all the house of Israel know, assuredly, that God hath made that Jesus whom ye crucified, to be Lord and Messiah.
37 Now when they heard [this], they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?
And when they heard these things, they were agitated in their heart; and they said to Simon and to the rest of the legates: Brethren, what shall we do?
38 And Peter [said] unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Simon said to them: Repent, and be baptized every one of you, in the name of the Lord Jesus, for the remission of sins; so that ye may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those afar off whom God will call.
40 And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation.
And in many other words he testified to them, and entreated of them, saying: Live ye from this perverse generation.
41 They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added [unto them] in that day about three thousand souls.
And some of them readily received his discourse, and believed, and were baptized. And there were added, on that day, about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers.
And they persevered in the doctrine of the legates; and were associated together in prayer, and in breaking the eucharist.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
And fear was on every mind: and many signs and prodigies were wrought by the hand of the legates in Jerusalem.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
And all they who believed, were together; and whatever belonged to them, was of the community.
45 and they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need.
And they who had a possession, sold it, and divided to each one as he had need.
46 And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
And they continued daily in the temple, with one soul: and at home, they broke bread and took food rejoicing, and in the simplicity of their heart.
47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved.
And they praised God, and had favor with all the people. And our Lord added daily to the assembly those who became alive.
