< Acts 2 >
1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all meeting together in one place.
και εν τω συμπληρουσθαι την ημεραν τησ πεντηκοστησ ησαν απαντεσ ομοθυμαδον επι το αυτο
2 Suddenly a noise came from heaven like a roaring wind that filled the whole house where they were staying.
και εγενετο αφνω εκ του ουρανου ηχοσ ωσπερ φερομενησ πνοησ βιαιασ και επληρωσεν ολον τον οικον ου ησαν καθημενοι
3 They saw what looked like separate tongue-shaped flames that settled on each of them.
και ωφθησαν αυτοισ διαμεριζομεναι γλωσσαι ωσει πυροσ εκαθισεν τε εφ ενα εκαστον αυτων
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit gave them the ability to do so.
και επλησθησαν απαντεσ πνευματοσ αγιου και ηρξαντο λαλειν ετεραισ γλωσσαισ καθωσ το πνευμα εδιδου αυτοισ αποφθεγγεσθαι
5 At that time there were devout Jews from every nation on earth living in Jerusalem.
ησαν δε εν ιερουσαλημ κατοικουντεσ ιουδαιοι ανδρεσ ευλαβεισ απο παντοσ εθνουσ των υπο τον ουρανον
6 When they heard this noise, a large crowd of them gathered. They were puzzled because everyone heard their own language being spoken.
γενομενησ δε τησ φωνησ ταυτησ συνηλθεν το πληθοσ και συνεχυθη οτι ηκουον εισ εκαστοσ τη ιδια διαλεκτω λαλουντων αυτων
7 They were totally amazed, saying, “Look, these people who are speaking—aren't they all Galileans?
εξισταντο δε παντεσ και εθαυμαζον λεγοντεσ προσ αλληλουσ ουκ ιδου παντεσ ουτοι εισιν οι λαλουντεσ γαλιλαιοι
8 So how is it that we can all hear them speaking in our own mother tongue?
και πωσ ημεισ ακουομεν εκαστοσ τη ιδια διαλεκτω ημων εν η εγεννηθημεν
9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
παρθοι και μηδοι και ελαμιται και οι κατοικουντεσ την μεσοποταμιαν ιουδαιαν τε και καππαδοκιαν ποντον και την ασιαν
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia; from Egypt and the area of Libya around Cyrene; visitors from Rome, both Jews and converts,
φρυγιαν τε και παμφυλιαν αιγυπτον και τα μερη τησ λιβυησ τησ κατα κυρηνην και οι επιδημουντεσ ρωμαιοι ιουδαιοι τε και προσηλυτοι
11 Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our own languages about all the great things God has done.”
κρητεσ και αραβεσ ακουομεν λαλουντων αυτων ταισ ημετεραισ γλωσσαισ τα μεγαλεια του θεου
12 They were all amazed and confused. “What does this mean?” they asked each other.
εξισταντο δε παντεσ και διηπορουν αλλοσ προσ αλλον λεγοντεσ τι αν θελοι τουτο ειναι
13 But others jeered and said, “They've been drinking too much wine!”
ετεροι δε χλευαζοντεσ ελεγον οτι γλευκουσ μεμεστωμενοι εισιν
14 Then Peter stood up with the eleven disciples and spoke in a loud voice: “Fellow Jews and everyone living here in Jerusalem: pay attention to me and I'll explain all this to you!
σταθεισ δε πετροσ συν τοισ ενδεκα επηρεν την φωνην αυτου και απεφθεγξατο αυτοισ ανδρεσ ιουδαιοι και οι κατοικουντεσ ιερουσαλημ απαντεσ τουτο υμιν γνωστον εστω και ενωτισασθε τα ρηματα μου
15 These men aren't drunk as you presume. It's only nine in the morning!
ου γαρ ωσ υμεισ υπολαμβανετε ουτοι μεθυουσιν εστιν γαρ ωρα τριτη τησ ημερασ
16 What's happening is what was predicted by the prophet Joel:
αλλα τουτο εστιν το ειρημενον δια του προφητου ιωηλ
17 God says, ‘In the last days I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
και εσται εν ταισ εσχαταισ ημεραισ λεγει ο θεοσ εκχεω απο του πνευματοσ μου επι πασαν σαρκα και προφητευσουσιν οι υιοι υμων και αι θυγατερεσ υμων και οι νεανισκοι υμων ορασεισ οψονται και οι πρεσβυτεροι υμων ενυπνια ενυπνιασθησονται
18 I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, both male and female, and they will prophesy.
και γε επι τουσ δουλουσ μου και επι τασ δουλασ μου εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ εκχεω απο του πνευματοσ μου και προφητευσουσιν
19 I will also give you miraculous signs in the heavens above and on the earth below—blood, fire, and swirling smoke!
και δωσω τερατα εν τω ουρανω ανω και σημεια επι τησ γησ κατω αιμα και πυρ και ατμιδα καπνου
20 The sun will become dark, and the moon will become red like blood before the great and glorious day of the Lord.
ο ηλιοσ μεταστραφησεται εισ σκοτοσ και η σεληνη εισ αιμα πριν η ελθειν την ημεραν κυριου την μεγαλην και επιφανη
21 But whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
και εσται πασ οσ αν επικαλεσηται το ονομα κυριου σωθησεται
22 People of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man confirmed by God to you by the powerful miracles and signs that God performed through him, right here among you—as you well know.
ανδρεσ ισραηλιται ακουσατε τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ ιησουν τον ναζωραιον ανδρα απο του θεου αποδεδειγμενον εισ υμασ δυναμεσιν και τερασιν και σημειοισ οισ εποιησεν δι αυτου ο θεοσ εν μεσω υμων καθωσ και αυτοι οιδατε
23 God, knowing beforehand what would happen, followed his plan and resolved to hand him over to you. By means of the hands of wicked men, you killed him by nailing him to a cross.
τουτον τη ωρισμενη βουλη και προγνωσει του θεου εκδοτον λαβοντεσ δια χειρων ανομων προσπηξαντεσ ανειλετε
24 But God raised him back to life, freeing him from the burden of death, because death did not have the power to keep him a prisoner.
ον ο θεοσ ανεστησεν λυσασ τασ ωδινασ του θανατου καθοτι ουκ ην δυνατον κρατεισθαι αυτον υπ αυτου
25 David says of him, ‘I saw the Lord always in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
δαυιδ γαρ λεγει εισ αυτον προωρωμην τον κυριον ενωπιον μου δια παντοσ οτι εκ δεξιων μου εστιν ινα μη σαλευθω
26 That's why I'm so happy! That's why my words are full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
δια τουτο ευφρανθη η καρδια μου και ηγαλλιασατο η γλωσσα μου ετι δε και η σαρξ μου κατασκηνωσει επ ελπιδι
27 For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Hadēs )
οτι ουκ εγκαταλειψεισ την ψυχην μου εισ αδου ουδε δωσεισ τον οσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν (Hadēs )
28 You have revealed to me the ways of life. You will fill me with joy with your presence.’
εγνωρισασ μοι οδουσ ζωησ πληρωσεισ με ευφροσυνησ μετα του προσωπου σου
29 My brothers and sisters, let me tell you plainly that our ancestor David died and was buried, and his tomb is here with us to this day.
ανδρεσ αδελφοι εξον ειπειν μετα παρρησιασ προσ υμασ περι του πατριαρχου δαυιδ οτι και ετελευτησεν και εταφη και το μνημα αυτου εστιν εν ημιν αχρι τησ ημερασ ταυτησ
30 But he was a prophet, and knew that God had promised on oath to place one of his descendants on his throne.
προφητησ ουν υπαρχων και ειδωσ οτι ορκω ωμοσεν αυτω ο θεοσ εκ καρπου τησ οσφυοσ αυτου το κατα σαρκα αναστησειν τον χριστον καθισαι επι του θρονου αυτου
31 David saw what would happen and spoke about the resurrection of Christ—for Christ was not abandoned to the grave nor did he experience decay. (Hadēs )
προιδων ελαλησεν περι τησ αναστασεωσ του χριστου οτι ου κατελειφθη η ψυχη αυτου εισ αδου ουδε η σαρξ αυτου ειδεν διαφθοραν (Hadēs )
32 God has raised this Jesus from the dead, and we're all witnesses of that.
τουτον τον ιησουν ανεστησεν ο θεοσ ου παντεσ ημεισ εσμεν μαρτυρεσ
33 Now he's been exalted to God's right hand, and has received from the Father the Holy Spirit whom he promised, and has poured out what you're seeing and hearing.
τη δεξια ουν του θεου υψωθεισ την τε επαγγελιαν του αγιου πνευματοσ λαβων παρα του πατροσ εξεχεεν τουτο ο νυν υμεισ βλεπετε και ακουετε
34 For David didn't ascend into heaven, but he did say: the Lord told my Lord, ‘Sit down here at my right hand
ου γαρ δαυιδ ανεβη εισ τουσ ουρανουσ λεγει δε αυτοσ ειπεν ο κυριοσ τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου
35 until I have made your enemies a stool to put your feet on.’
εωσ αν θω τουσ εχθρουσ σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
36 Now let everyone in Israel be totally convinced of this: God has made this Jesus, who you killed on a cross, both Lord and Messiah!”
ασφαλωσ ουν γινωσκετω πασ οικοσ ισραηλ οτι και κυριον και χριστον αυτον ο θεοσ εποιησεν τουτον τον ιησουν ον υμεισ εσταυρωσατε
37 When the people heard this they were conscience-stricken. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
ακουσαντεσ δε κατενυγησαν τη καρδια ειπον τε προσ τον πετρον και τουσ λοιπουσ αποστολουσ τι ποιησομεν ανδρεσ αδελφοι
38 “Repent!” Peter told them. “All of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
πετροσ δε εφη προσ αυτουσ μετανοησατε και βαπτισθητω εκαστοσ υμων επι τω ονοματι ιησου χριστου εισ αφεσιν αμαρτιων και ληψεσθε την δωρεαν του αγιου πνευματοσ
39 This promise is given to you, to your children, and to all who are far away—everyone the Lord our God calls.”
υμιν γαρ εστιν η επαγγελια και τοισ τεκνοισ υμων και πασιν τοισ εισ μακραν οσουσ αν προσκαλεσηται κυριοσ ο θεοσ ημων
40 Peter went on speaking, giving them much more evidence. He warned them, “Save yourselves from this perverted generation.”
ετεροισ τε λογοισ πλειοσιν διεμαρτυρετο και παρεκαλει λεγων σωθητε απο τησ γενεασ τησ σκολιασ ταυτησ
41 Those who accepted what he'd said were baptized, adding about three thousand people to the group of believers that day.
οι μεν ουν ασμενωσ αποδεξαμενοι τον λογον αυτου εβαπτισθησαν και προσετεθησαν τη ημερα εκεινη ψυχαι ωσει τρισχιλιαι
42 They committed themselves to what the apostles had taught them, and to the fellowship of the believers, “breaking bread” and praying together.
ησαν δε προσκαρτερουντεσ τη διδαχη των αποστολων και τη κοινωνια και τη κλασει του αρτου και ταισ προσευχαισ
43 Everyone was in awe, and many miracles and signs were done through the apostles.
εγενετο δε παση ψυχη φοβοσ πολλα τε τερατα και σημεια δια των αποστολων εγινετο
44 All the believers were together and shared everything they had.
παντεσ δε οι πιστευοντεσ ησαν επι το αυτο και ειχον απαντα κοινα
45 They sold their property and belongings, sharing the proceeds with everyone as they needed.
και τα κτηματα και τασ υπαρξεισ επιπρασκον και διεμεριζον αυτα πασιν καθοτι αν τισ χρειαν ειχεν
46 Day after day they continued to meet together in the Temple, and ate together in their homes. They enjoyed their meals humbly and happily. They praised God, and everyone thought favorably of them.
καθ ημεραν τε προσκαρτερουντεσ ομοθυμαδον εν τω ιερω κλωντεσ τε κατ οικον αρτον μετελαμβανον τροφησ εν αγαλλιασει και αφελοτητι καρδιασ
47 Every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
αινουντεσ τον θεον και εχοντεσ χαριν προσ ολον τον λαον ο δε κυριοσ προσετιθει τουσ σωζομενουσ καθ ημεραν τη εκκλησια
