< Acts 2 >
1 And when the day of Pentecost was now accomplishing, they were all together in one place.
Et cum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes pariter in eodem loco:
2 And there came suddenly a sound out of heaven as of a violent impetuous blowing, and filled all the house where they were sitting.
et factus est repente de cælo sonus, tamquam advenientis spiritus vehementis, et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes.
3 And there appeared to them parted tongues, as of fire, and it sat upon each one 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 with other tongues as the Spirit gave to them to speak forth.
et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et cœperunt loqui variis linguis, prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, pious men, from every nation of those under heaven.
Erant autem in Ierusalem habitantes Iudæi, viri religiosi ex omni natione, quæ sub cælo est.
6 But the rumour of this having spread, the multitude came together and were confounded, because each one heard them speaking in his own dialect.
Facta autem hac voce, convenit multitudo, et mente confusa est, quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes.
7 And all were amazed and wondered, saying, Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galilaeans?
Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes: Nonne ecce omnes isti, qui loquuntur, Galilæi sunt,
8 and how do we hear [them] each in our own dialect in which we have been born,
et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram, in qua nati sumus?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judaea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Parthi, et Medi, et Ælamitæ, et qui habitant Mespotamiam, Iudæam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam,
10 both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya which adjoin Cyrene, and the Romans sojourning [here], both Jews and proselytes,
Phrygiam, et Pamphyliam, Ægyptum, et partes Libyæ, quæ est circa Cyrenen, et advenæ Romani,
11 Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own tongues the great things of God?
Iudæi quoque, et Proselyti, Cretes, et Arabes: audivimus eos loquentes nostris linguis magnalia Dei.
12 And they were all amazed and in perplexity, saying one to another, What would this mean?
Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur ad invicem dicentes: Quidnam vult hoc esse?
13 But others mocking said, They are full of new wine.
Alii autem irridentes dicebant: Quia musto pleni sunt isti.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke forth to them, Men of Judaea, and all ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give heed to my words:
Stans autem Petrus cum undecim levavit vocem suam, et locutus est eis: Viri Iudæi, et qui habitatis Ierusalem universi, hoc vobis notum sit, et auribus percipite verba mea.
15 for these are not full of wine, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day;
Non enim, sicut vos æstimatis, hi ebrii sunt, cum sit hora diei tertia:
16 but this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel,
sed hoc est, quod dictum est per prophetam Ioel:
17 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, [that] 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 elders shall dream with dreams;
Et erit in novissimis diebus (dicit Dominus) effundam de Spiritu meo super omnem carnem: et prophetabunt filii vestri, et filiæ vestræ, et iuvenes vestri visiones videbunt, et seniores vestri somnia somniabunt.
18 yea, even upon my bondmen and upon my bondwomen in those days will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
Et quidem super servos meos, et super ancillas meas in diebus illis effundam de Spiritu meo, et prophetabunt:
19 And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
et dabo prodigia in cælo sursum, et signa in terra deorsum, sanguinem, et ignem, et vaporem fumi:
20 the sun shall be changed to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and gloriously appearing day of [the] Lord come.
Sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus.
21 And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of [the] Lord shall be saved.
Et erit: omnis, quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.
22 Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazaraean, a man borne witness to by God to you by works of power and wonders and signs, which God wrought by him in your midst, as yourselves know
Viri Israelitæ, audite verba hæc: Iesum 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 — him, given up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, by [the] hand of lawless [men], have crucified and slain.
hunc definito consilio, et præscientia Dei traditum, per manus iniquorum affligentes interemistis:
24 Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death, inasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held by its power;
quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, iuxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo. ()
25 for David says as to him, I foresaw the Lord continually before me, because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved.
David enim dicit in eum: Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi ne commovear:
26 Therefore has my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted; yea more, my flesh also shall dwell in hope,
Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exultavit lingua mea, insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe:
27 for thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor wilt thou give thy gracious one to see corruption. (Hadēs )
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis Sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Hadēs )
28 Thou hast made known to me [the] paths of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance.
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ: et replebis me iucunditate cum facie tua.
29 Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst us unto this day.
Viri fratres, liceat audenter dicere ad vos de patriarcha David quoniam defunctus est, et sepultus: et sepulchrum eius est apud nos usque in hodiernum diem.
30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, of the fruit of his loins to set upon his throne;
Propheta igitur cum esset, et sciret quia iureiurando iurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi eius sedere super sedem eius:
31 he, seeing [it] before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen corruption. (Hadēs )
providens locutus est de Resurrectione Christi, quia neque derelictus est in inferno, neque caro eius vidit corruptionem. (Hadēs )
32 This Jesus has God raised up, whereof all we are witnesses.
Hunc Iesum resuscitavit Deus, cuius omnes nos testes sumus.
33 Having therefore been exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which ye behold and hear.
Dextera igitur Dei exaltatus, et promissione Spiritus Sancti accepta a Patre, effudit hunc, quem vos videtis, et auditis.
34 For David has not ascended into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said unto 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 have put thine enemies [to be] the footstool of thy feet.
donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
36 Let the whole house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Certissime sciat ergo omnis domus Israel, quia et Dominum eum, et Christum fecit Deus, hunc Iesum, quem vos crucifixistis.
37 And having heard [it] they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, What shall we do, brethren?
His autem auditis, compuncti sunt corde, et dixerunt ad Petrum, et ad reliquos Apostolos: Quid faciemus, viri fratres?
38 And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Petrus vero ad illos: Pœnitentiam (inquit) agite, et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Iesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum: et accipietis donum Spiritus Sancti.
39 For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who [are] afar off, as many as [the] Lord our God may call.
Vobis enim est repromissio, et filiis vestris, et omnibus, qui longe sunt, quoscumque advocaverit Dominus Deus noster.
40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.
Aliis etiam verbis plurimis testificatus est, et exhortabatur eos, dicens: Salvamini a generatione ista prava.
41 Those then who had accepted his word were baptised; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
Qui ergo receperunt sermonem eius, baptizati sunt: et appositæ sunt in die illa animæ circiter tria millia.
42 And they persevered in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles, in breaking of bread and prayers.
Erant autem perseverantes in doctrina Apostolorum, et communicatione fractionis panis, et orationibus.
43 And fear was upon every soul, and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles' means.
Fiebat autem omni animæ timor: multa quoque prodigia, et signa per Apostolos in Ierusalem fiebant, et metus erat magnus in universis.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common,
Omnes etiam, qui credebant, erant pariter, et habebant omnia communia.
45 and sold their possessions and substance, and distributed them to all, according as any one might have need.
Possessiones et substantias vendebant, et dividebant illa omnibus, prout cuique opus erat.
46 And every day, being constantly in the temple with one accord, and breaking bread in [the] house, they received their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo, et frangentes circa domos panem, sumebant cibum cum exultatione, et simplicitate cordis,
47 praising God, and having favour with all the people; and the Lord added [to the assembly] daily those that were to be saved.
collaudantes Deum, et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem. Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent quotidie in idipsum.
