Acts 2
1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Et cum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes pariter in eodem loco:
2 Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
et factus est repente de cælo sonus, tamquam advenientis spiritus vehementis, et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes.
3 They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
Et apparuerunt illis dispertitæ linguæ tamquam ignis, seditque supra singulos eorum:
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et cœperunt loqui variis linguis, prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
Erant autem in Jerusalem habitantes Judæi, viri religiosi ex omni natione quæ sub cælo est.
6 And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.
Facta autem hac voce, convenit multitudo, et mente confusa est, quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes.
7 Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?
Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes: Nonne ecce omnes isti qui loquuntur, Galilæi sunt?
8 How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?
et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram in qua nati sumus?
9 Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Parthi, et Medi, et Ælamitæ, et qui habitant Mespotamiam, Judæam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,
Phrygiam, et Pamphyliam, Ægyptum, et partes Libyæ quæ est circa Cyrenen: et advenæ Romani,
11 both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
Judæi quoque, et Proselyti, Cretes, et Arabes: audivimus eos loquentes nostris linguis magnalia Dei.
12 Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur ad invicem, dicentes: Quidnam vult hoc esse?
13 But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”
Alii autem irridentes dicebant: Quia musto pleni sunt isti.
14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.
Stans autem Petrus cum undecim, levavit vocem suam, et locutus est eis: Viri Judæi, et qui habitatis Jerusalem universi, hoc vobis notum sit, et auribus percipite verba mea.
15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!
Non enim, sicut vos æstimatis, hi ebrii sunt, cum sit hora diei tertia:
16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophetam Joël:
17 ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
Et erit in novissimis diebus, dicit Dominus, effundam de Spiritu meo super omnem carnem: et prophetabunt filii vestri et filiæ vestræ, et juvenes vestri visiones videbunt, et seniores vestri somnia somniabunt.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
Et quidem super servos meos, et super ancillas meas, in diebus illis effundam de Spiritu meo, et prophetabunt:
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
et dabo prodigia in cælo sursum, et signa in terra deorsum, sanguinem, et ignem, et vaporem fumi:
20 The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.
sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus.
21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
Et erit: omnis quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.
22 Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.
Viri Israëlitæ, audite verba hæc: Jesum Nazarenum, virum approbatum a Deo in vobis, virtutibus, et prodigiis, et signis, quæ fecit Deus per illum in medio vestri, sicut et vos scitis:
23 He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.
hunc, definito consilio et præscientia Dei traditum, per manus iniquorum affligentes interemistis:
24 But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.
quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, juxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo. (questioned)
25 David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
David enim dicit in eum: Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear:
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,
propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea, insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe:
27 because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Hadēs g86)
quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Hadēs g86)
28 You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ: et replebis me jucunditate cum facie tua.
29 Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
Viri fratres, liceat audenter dicere ad vos de patriarcha David, quoniam defunctus est, et sepultus: et sepulchrum ejus est apud nos usque in hodiernum diem.
30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.
Propheta igitur cum esset, et sciret quia jurejurando jurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi ejus sedere super sedem ejus:
31 Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay. (Hadēs g86)
providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi, quia neque derelictus est in inferno, neque caro ejus vidit corruptionem. (Hadēs g86)
32 God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.
Hunc Jesum resuscitavit Deus, cujus omnes nos testes sumus.
33 Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
Dextera igitur Dei exaltatus, et promissione Spiritus Sancti accepta a Patre, effudit hunc, quem vos videtis et auditis.
34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
Non enim David ascendit in cælum: dixit autem ipse: Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis,
35 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
36 Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”
Certissime sciat ergo omnis domus Israël, quia et Dominum eum et Christum fecit Deus hunc Jesum, quem vos crucifixistis.
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
His autem auditis, compuncti sunt corde, et dixerunt ad Petrum et ad reliquos Apostolos: Quid faciemus, viri fratres?
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Petrus vero ad illos: Pœnitentiam, inquit, agite, et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Jesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum: et accipietis donum Spiritus Sancti.
39 This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”
Vobis enim est repromissio, et filiis vestris, et omnibus qui longe sunt, quoscumque advocaverit Dominus Deus noster.
40 With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”
Aliis etiam verbis plurimis testificatus est, et exhortabatur eos, dicens: Salvamini a generatione ista prava.
41 Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.
Qui ergo receperunt sermonem ejus, baptizati sunt: et appositæ sunt in die illa animæ circiter tria millia.
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Erant autem perseverantes in doctrina Apostolorum, et communicatione fractionis panis, et orationibus.
43 A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.
Fiebat autem omni animæ timor: multa quoque prodigia et signa per Apostolos in Jerusalem fiebant, et metus erat magnus in universis.
44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.
Omnes etiam qui credebant, erant pariter, et habebant omnia communia.
45 Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.
Possessiones et substantias vendebant, et dividebant illa omnibus, prout cuique opus erat.
46 With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,
Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo, et frangentes circa domos panem, sumebant cibum cum exsultatione et simplicitate cordis,
47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
collaudantes Deum et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem. Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent quotidie in idipsum.
