宗徒大事录 2

1And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:

2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:

4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.

5Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

6And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue.

7And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these, that speak, Galileans?

8And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born?

9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome,

11Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.

12And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another: What meaneth this?

13But others mocking, said: These men are full of new wine.

14But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words.

15For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day:

16But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel:

17And it shall come to pass, in the last days, (saith the Lord,) I will pour out 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.

18And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy.

19And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke.

20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord come.

21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

22Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know:

23This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.

24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.

25For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.

26For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.

27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

29Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.

30Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.

31Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.

32This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.

33Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.

34For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,

35Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

36Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.

37Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?

38But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.

40And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

41They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

42And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all.

44And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common.

45Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.

46And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart;

47Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved.

1Et cum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes pariter in eodem loco:

2et factus est repente de cælo sonus, tamquam advenientis spiritus vehementis, et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes.

3Et apparuerunt illis dispertitæ linguæ tamquam ignis, seditque supra singulos eorum:

4et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et cœperunt loqui variis linguis, prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis.

5Erant autem in Jerusalem habitantes Judæi, viri religiosi ex omni natione quæ sub cælo est.

6Facta autem hac voce, convenit multitudo, et mente confusa est, quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes.

7Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes: Nonne ecce omnes isti qui loquuntur, Galilæi sunt?

8et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram in qua nati sumus?

9Parthi, et Medi, et Ælamitæ, et qui habitant Mespotamiam, Judæam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam,

10Phrygiam, et Pamphyliam, Ægyptum, et partes Libyæ quæ est circa Cyrenen: et advenæ Romani,

11Judæi quoque, et Proselyti, Cretes, et Arabes: audivimus eos loquentes nostris linguis magnalia Dei.

12Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur ad invicem, dicentes: Quidnam vult hoc esse?

13Alii autem irridentes dicebant: Quia musto pleni sunt isti.

14Stans 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.

15Non enim, sicut vos æstimatis, hi ebrii sunt, cum sit hora diei tertia:

16sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophetam Joël:

17[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.

18Et quidem super servos meos, et super ancillas meas, in diebus illis effundam de Spiritu meo, et prophetabunt:

19et dabo prodigia in cælo sursum, et signa in terra deorsum, sanguinem, et ignem, et vaporem fumi:

20sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus.

21Et erit: omnis quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.]

22Viri 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:

23hunc, definito consilio et præscientia Dei traditum, per manus iniquorum affligentes interemistis:

24quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, juxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo.

25David enim dicit in eum: [Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear:

26propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea, insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe:

27quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem.

28Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ: et replebis me jucunditate cum facie tua.]

29Viri fratres, liceat audenter dicere ad vos de patriarcha David, quoniam defunctus est, et sepultus: et sepulchrum ejus est apud nos usque in hodiernum diem.

30Propheta igitur cum esset, et sciret quia jurejurando jurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi ejus sedere super sedem ejus:

31providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi, quia neque derelictus est in inferno, neque caro ejus vidit corruptionem.

32Hunc Jesum resuscitavit Deus, cujus omnes nos testes sumus.

33Dextera igitur Dei exaltatus, et promissione Spiritus Sancti accepta a Patre, effudit hunc, quem vos videtis et auditis.

34Non enim David ascendit in cælum: dixit autem ipse: [Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis,

35donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.]

36Certissime sciat ergo omnis domus Israël, quia et Dominum eum et Christum fecit Deus hunc Jesum, quem vos crucifixistis.

37His autem auditis, compuncti sunt corde, et dixerunt ad Petrum et ad reliquos Apostolos: Quid faciemus, viri fratres?

38Petrus vero ad illos: Pœnitentiam, inquit, agite, et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Jesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum: et accipietis donum Spiritus Sancti.

39Vobis enim est repromissio, et filiis vestris, et omnibus qui longe sunt, quoscumque advocaverit Dominus Deus noster.

40Aliis etiam verbis plurimis testificatus est, et exhortabatur eos, dicens: Salvamini a generatione ista prava.

41Qui ergo receperunt sermonem ejus, baptizati sunt: et appositæ sunt in die illa animæ circiter tria millia.

42Erant autem perseverantes in doctrina Apostolorum, et communicatione fractionis panis, et orationibus.

43Fiebat autem omni animæ timor: multa quoque prodigia et signa per Apostolos in Jerusalem fiebant, et metus erat magnus in universis.

44Omnes etiam qui credebant, erant pariter, et habebant omnia communia.

45Possessiones et substantias vendebant, et dividebant illa omnibus, prout cuique opus erat.

46Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo, et frangentes circa domos panem, sumebant cibum cum exsultatione et simplicitate cordis,

47collaudantes Deum et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem. Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent quotidie in idipsum.

1And when the days of Pentecost were completed, they were all together in the same place.

2And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, like that of a wind approaching violently, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

3And there appeared to them separate tongues, as if of fire, which settled upon each one of them.

4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they began to speak in various languages, just as the Holy Spirit bestowed eloquence to them.

5Now there were Jews staying in Jerusalem, pious men from every nation that is under heaven.

6And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together and was confused in mind, because each one was listening to them speaking in his own language.

7Then all were astonished, and they wondered, saying: “Behold, are not all of these who are speaking Galileans?

8And how is it that we have each heard them in our own language, into which we were born?

9Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya which are around Cyrene, and new arrivals of the Romans,

11likewise Jews and new converts, Cretans and Arabs: we have heard them speaking in our own languages the mighty deeds of God.”

12And they were all astonished, and they wondered, saying to one another: “But what does this mean?”

13But others mockingly said, “These men are full of new wine.”

14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and he spoke to them: “Men of Judea, and all those who are staying in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and incline your ears to my words.

15For these men are not inebriated, as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.

16But this is what was spoken of by the prophet Joel:

17‘And this shall be: in the last days, says the Lord, I will pour out, from my Spirit, upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. And your youths shall see visions, and your elders shall dream dreams.

18And certainly, upon my men and women servants in those days, I will pour out from my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

19And I will bestow wonders in heaven above, and signs on earth below: blood and fire and the vapor of smoke.

20The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord arrives.

21And this shall be: whoever shall invoke the name of the Lord will be saved.’

22Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene is a man confirmed by God among you through the miracles and wonders and signs that God accomplished through him in your midst, just as you also know.

23This man, under the definitive plan and foreknowledge of God, was delivered by the hands of the unjust, afflicted, and put to death.

24And he whom God has raised up has broken the sorrows of Hell, for certainly it was impossible for him to be held by it.

25For David said about him: ‘I foresaw the Lord always in my sight, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved.

26Because of this, my heart has rejoiced, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, my flesh shall also rest in hope.

27For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.

28You have made known to me the ways of life. You will completely fill me with happiness by your presence.’

29Noble brothers, permit me to speak freely to you about the Patriarch David: for he passed away and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us, even to this very day.

30Therefore, he was a prophet, for he knew that God had sworn an oath to him about the fruit of his loins, about the One who would sit upon his throne.

31Foreseeing this, he was speaking about the Resurrection of the Christ. For he was neither left behind in Hell, nor did his flesh see corruption.

32This Jesus, God raised up again, and of this we are all witnesses.

33Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the Promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured this out, just as you now see and hear.

34For David did not ascend into heaven. But he himself said: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand,

35until I make your enemies your footstool.’

36Therefore, may the entire house of Israel know most certainly that God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

37Now when they had heard these things, they were contrite in heart, and they said to Peter and to the other Apostles: “What should we do, noble brothers?”

38Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39For the Promise is for you and for your sons, and for all who are far away: for whomever the Lord our God will have called.”

40And then, with very many other words, he testified and he exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this depraved generation.”

41Therefore, those who accepted his discourse were baptized. And about three thousand souls were added on that day.

42Now they were persevering in the doctrine of the Apostles, and in the communion of the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers.

43And fear developed in every soul. Also, many miracles and signs were accomplished by the Apostles in Jerusalem. And there was a great awe in everyone.

44And then all who believed were together, and they held all things in common.

45They were selling their possessions and belongings, and dividing them to all, just as any of them had need.

46Also, they continued, daily, to be of one accord in the temple and to break bread among the houses; and they took their meals with exultation and simplicity of heart,

47praising God greatly, and holding favor with all the people. And every day, the Lord increased those who were being saved among them.
