Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
COMO se cumplieron los dias de Pentecostes, estaban todos unánimes juntos:
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.
Y de repente vino un estruendo del cielo como de un viento recio que corria, el cual hinchió 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.
Y se les aparecieron lenguas repartidas como de fuego, que se asentó 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].
Y fueron todos llenos de Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron á hablar en otras lenguas, como el Espíritu les daba que hablasen.
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.
(Moraban entónces en Jerusalem Judíos, varones religiosos, de todas las naciones debajo del 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.
Y hecho este estruendo, juntóse la multitud; y estaban confusos, porque cada uno les oia hablar 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].
Y estaban atónitos, y maravillados, diciendo: Hé aquí, ¿no son Galiléos 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]
¿Como, pues, les oimos nosotros [hablar] cada uno en nuestra lengua en que somos nacidos?
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, y Medos, y Elamitas, y los que habitamos en Mesopotamia, en Judéa, y en Capadocia, en el Ponto, y en 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.
En Phrygia y en Pamphylia, en Egipto y en las partes de Africa que está de la otra parte de Cirene, y Romanos extranjeros, Judíos, y convertidos,
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 Arabes, les oimos hablar en nuestras lenguas 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?”
Y estaban todos atónitos y perplejos, diciendo los unos á los otros: ¿Qué quiere ser 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!”
Mas otros burlándose decian: Que 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!
Entónces Pedro, poniéndose en pié con los once, alzó su voz, y hablóles diciendo: Varones Judíos, y todos los que habitais en Jerusalem, esto os sea notorio, y oid 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 vosotros pensais, siendo la hora tercia del dia.
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Mas esto es lo que fué dicho por el 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].
Y será en los postreros dias, (dice Dios) derramaré de mi Espíritu sobre toda carne, y vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas profetizarán; y vuestros mancebos verán visiones, y vuestros viejos 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.
Y de cierto sobre mis siervos y sobre mis siervas en aquellos dias derramaré de mi Espíritu; y 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].
Y daré prodigios arriba en el cielo, y señales abajo en la tierra, 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 volverá en tinieblas, y la luna en sangre, ántes que venga el dia del Señor grande y manifiesto.
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 será que todo aquel que invocare el nombre del Señor, será salvo.
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].
Varones Israelitas, oid estas palabras: Jesus Nazareno, varon aprobado de Dios entre vosotros en maravillas y prodigios, y señales, que Dios hizo por él en medio de vosotros, como tambien vosotros sabeis,
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 determinado consejo y providencia de Dios, [vosotros] prendisteis y matasteis por manos de los 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.”
Al cual Dios levantó, sueltos los dolores de la muerte; por cuanto era imposible ser detenido de 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 de él: Veia al Señor siempre delante de mí: porque está á mi diestra, no seré 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 lo cual mi corazon se alegró, y gozóse mi lengua; y aun mi carne 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)
Que no dejarás mi alma en el infierno, ni darás á tu santo que vea corrupcion. (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].”
Hicísteme notorios los caminos de la vida; me henchirás de gozo 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.
Varones hermanos, se os puede libremente decir del patriarca David, que murió y fué sepultado, y su sepulcro está con nosotros hasta el dia 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].)
Empero siendo profeta, y sabiendo que con juramento le habia Dios jurado, que del fruto de su lomo, cuanto á la carne, levantaria al Cristo que se sentaria sobre 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)
Viéndolo ántes, habló de la resurreccion de Cristo, que su alma no fué dejada en el infierno, ni su carne vió corrupcion. (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 Jesus 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.
Así que levantado por la diestra de Dios, y recibiendo del Padre la promesa del Espíritu Santo, ha derramado esto que vosotros 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 á los cielos; empero él dice: Dijo el Señor á mi Señor, Siéntate á mi diestra,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
Hasta que ponga tus enemigos por estrado de tus piés.
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 ciertisimamente toda la casa de Israel, que á este Jesus, que vosotros crucificasteis, Dios ha hecho Señor y Cristo.
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]?”
Entónces oido [esto, ] fueron compungidos de corazon, y dijeron á Pedro, y á los otros apóstoles: Varones hermanos, ¿que harémos?
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.
Y Pedro les dice: Arrepentíos, y bautícese cada uno de vosotros en el nombre de Jesu-Cristo para perdon 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 para vosotros es la promesa, y para vuestros hijos, y para todos los que están léjos; [para] cuantos el Señor nuestro Dios llamare.
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]!”
Y con otras muchas palabras testificaba y exhortaba, diciendo: Sed salvos de esta perversa generacion.
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.
Así que los que recibieron su palabra, fueron bautizados: y fueron añadidas [á la iglesia] aquel dia como tres mil personas.
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 doctrina de los apóstoles, y en la comunion, y 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.
Y toda persona tenia temor; y muchas maravillas y señales eran hechas por 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.
Y todos los que creian estaban juntos; y tenian todas las cosas comunes.
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.
Y vendian las posesiones y las haciendas, y repartíanlas á todos, como cada uno habia menester.
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.
Y perseverando unánimes cada dia en el templo, y partiendo el pan en las casas, comian juntos con alegria y con sencillez de corazon.
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 á Dios y teniendo gracia con todo el pueblo. Y el Señor añadia cada dia á la iglesia los que habian de ser salvos.
