Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Al llegar el día de Pentecostés, estaban todos reunidos en un mismo lugar.
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
De repente, vino del cielo un ruido como el de un viento impetuoso, que llenó toda la casa donde estaban sentados.
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
Aparecieron unas lenguas como de fuego que se repartieron entre ellos, y una se posó sobre cada uno de ellos.
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
Todos fueron llenos del Espíritu Santo y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu les daba la capacidad de hablar.
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
En Jerusalén vivían judíos, hombres devotos, de todas las naciones bajo el cielo.
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
Al oír este ruido, la multitud se reunió y quedó desconcertada, porque cada uno les oía hablar en su propia lengua.
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
Todos se asombraron y se maravillaron, diciéndose unos a otros: «Mirad, ¿no son galileos todos estos que hablan?
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
¿Cómo oímos nosotros, cada uno en nuestra propia lengua?
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
Partos, medos, elamitas y gentes de Mesopotamia, de Judea, de Capadocia, del Ponto, de Asia,
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
de Frigia, de Panfilia, de Egipto, de las partes de Libia en torno a Cirene, visitantes de Roma, tanto judíos como prosélitos,
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
cretenses y árabes: ¡les oímos hablar en nuestras lenguas de las maravillas de Dios!»
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
Todos estaban asombrados y perplejos, diciéndose unos a otros: «¿Qué significa esto?»
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
Otros, burlándose, decían: «Están llenos de mosto».
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
Pero Pedro, poniéndose en pie con los once, alzó la voz y les dijo: “Hombres de Judea y todos los que habitáis en Jerusalén, sabed esto y escuchad mis palabras.
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
Porque estos no están borrachos, como suponéis, ya que solo es la hora tercia del día.
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Pero esto es lo que se ha dicho por medio del profeta Joel:
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
‘Sucederá en los últimos días, dice Dios, que derramaré mi Espíritu sobre toda carne. Vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas profetizarán. Vuestros jóvenes verán visiones. Vuestros ancianos soñarán sueños.
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
Sí, y sobre mis siervos y mis siervas en aquellos días, derramaré mi Espíritu, y ellos profetizarán.
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
Mostraré maravillas en el cielo arriba, y señales en la tierra abajo: sangre, y fuego, y vapor de humo.
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
El sol se convertirá en tinieblas, y la luna en sangre, antes de que llegue el día del Señor, grande y glorioso.
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
Y todo el que invoque el nombre del Señor se salvará’.
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
“¡Hombres de Israel, escuchad estas palabras! Jesús de Nazaret, varón aprobado por Dios ante vosotros con las obras poderosas, prodigios y señales que Dios hizo por medio de él entre vosotros, como vosotros mismos sabéis;
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
a este, entregado por el consejo determinado y la presciencia de Dios, le prendisteis y matasteis por manos de inicuos, crucificándole;
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
a quien Dios resucitó, habiéndole librado de los dolores de la muerte, porque no era posible que fuera retenido por ella.
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
Porque David dice acerca de él: ‘Veía al Señor siempre delante de mi rostro, porque él está a mi diestra, para que no sea conmovido.
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
Por eso mi corazón se alegró y mi lengua se regocijó. Además, mi carne también descansará en esperanza,
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
porque no dejarás mi alma en el Hades, ni permitirás que tu Santo vea corrupción. (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
Me diste a conocer los caminos de la vida. Me llenarás de alegría con tu presencia.’
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
“Hermanos, os puedo decir libremente del patriarca David, que murió y fue sepultado, y su sepulcro está con nosotros hasta el día de hoy.
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
Por eso, siendo profeta y sabiendo que Dios le había jurado que del fruto de sus lomos, según la carne, levantaría al Cristo para que se sentara en su trono,
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
previendo esto, habló de la resurrección del Cristo, que su alma no fue dejada en el Hades ni su carne vio corrupción. (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
A este Jesús lo resucitó Dios, de lo cual todos nosotros somos testigos.
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
Siendo, pues, exaltado a la diestra de Dios, y habiendo recibido del Padre la promesa del Espíritu Santo, ha derramado esto que vosotros ahora veis y oís.
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
Porque David no subió a los cielos, sino que él mismo dice: ‘Dijo el Señor a mi Señor: Siéntate a mi diestra,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
hasta que ponga a tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.’
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
«Sepa, pues, ciertísimamente toda la casa de Israel que Dios ha hecho Señor y Cristo a este Jesús a quien vosotros crucificasteis.»
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
Al oír esto, se compungieron de corazón y dijeron a Pedro y a los demás apóstoles: «Hermanos, ¿qué haremos?»
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
Pedro les dijo: «Arrepentíos y bautizaos cada uno de vosotros en el nombre de Jesucristo para el perdón de los pecados, y recibiréis el don del Espíritu Santo.
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
Porque la promesa es para vosotros y para vuestros hijos, y para todos los que están lejos, para cuantos el Señor nuestro Dios llame.»
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
Con muchas otras palabras les testificaba y exhortaba, diciendo: «¡Salvaos de esta perversa generación!»
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
Entonces los que recibieron con gusto su palabra fueron bautizados, y aquel día se añadieron unas tres mil almas.
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
Y perseveraban en la enseñanza de los apóstoles, en la comunión, en el partimiento del pan y en las oraciones.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
El temor se apoderaba de todos, y se hacían muchos prodigios y señales por medio de los apóstoles.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
Todos los que creían estaban juntos y tenían todo en común;
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
vendían sus propiedades y bienes, y los repartían a todos, según la necesidad de cada uno.
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
Perseverando unánimes cada día en el templo y partiendo el pan en las casas, tomaban el alimento con alegría y sencillez de corazón,
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
alabando a Dios y gozando del favor de todo el pueblo. Y el Señor añadía cada día a la iglesia a los que habían de ser salvos.
