< Acts 2 >

1 And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place,
Καὶ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς Πεντηκοστῆς, ἦσαν πάντες ὁμοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.
2 and there came suddenly out of the sky a sound as of a violent rushing wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting,
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἄφνω ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἦχος, ὥσπερ φερομένης πνοῆς βιαίας, καὶ ἐπλήρωσεν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον οὗ ἦσαν καθήμενοι.
3 and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of fire; it also sat on each one of them,
Καὶ ὤφθησαν αὐτοῖς διαμεριζόμεναι γλῶσσαι ὡσεὶ πυρός, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐφʼ ἕνα ἕκαστον αὐτῶν.
4 and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare.
Καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν πάντες ˚Πνεύματος Ἁγίου, καὶ ἤρξαντο λαλεῖν ἑτέραις γλώσσαις, καθὼς τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα ἐδίδου ἀποφθέγγεσθαι αὐτοῖς.
5 And there were Jews dwelling in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven,
Ἦσαν δὲ ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ κατοικοῦντες Ἰουδαῖοι, ἄνδρες εὐλαβεῖς ἀπὸ παντὸς ἔθνους τῶν ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανόν.
6 and the rumor of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were, each one, hearing them speaking in his proper dialect,
Γενομένης δὲ τῆς φωνῆς ταύτης, συνῆλθε τὸ πλῆθος καὶ συνεχύθη, ὅτι ἤκουσεν εἷς ἕκαστος τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ λαλούντων αὐτῶν.
7 and they were all amazed, and wondered, saying to one another, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
Ἐξίσταντο δὲ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον λέγοντες, “Οὐχ ἰδοὺ, ἅπαντες οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ λαλοῦντες Γαλιλαῖοι;
8 And how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we were born?
Καὶ πῶς ἡμεῖς ἀκούομεν ἕκαστος τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ ἡμῶν, ἐν ᾗ ἐγεννήθημεν;
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,
Πάρθοι, καὶ Μῆδοι, καὶ Ἐλαμῖται, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν, Ἰουδαίαν τε καὶ Καππαδοκίαν, Πόντον καὶ τὴν Ἀσίαν,
10 Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya that [are] along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
Φρυγίαν τε καὶ Παμφυλίαν, Αἴγυπτον, καὶ τὰ μέρη τῆς Λιβύης τῆς κατὰ Κυρήνην, καὶ οἱ ἐπιδημοῦντες Ῥωμαῖοι,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we heard them speaking the great things of God in our tongues.”
Ἰουδαῖοί τε καὶ προσήλυτοι, Κρῆτες καὶ Ἄραβες– ἀκούομεν λαλούντων αὐτῶν, ταῖς ἡμετέραις γλώσσαις, τὰ μεγαλεῖα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.”
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying to one another, “What would this wish to be?”
Ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες καὶ διηποροῦντο, ἄλλος πρὸς ἄλλον λέγοντες, “Τί θέλει τοῦτο εἶναι;”
13 And others mocking said, “They are full of sweet wine”;
Ἕτεροι δὲ διαχλευάζοντες ἔλεγον, ὅτι “Γλεύκους μεμεστωμένοι εἰσίν.”
14 and Peter having stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice and declared to them: “Men—Jews, and all those dwelling in Jerusalem! Let this be known to you, and listen to my sayings,
Σταθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος σὺν τοῖς ἕνδεκα, ἐπῆρεν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπεφθέγξατο αὐτοῖς: “Ἄνδρες, Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἰερουσαλὴμ πάντες, τοῦτο ὑμῖν γνωστὸν ἔστω καὶ ἐνωτίσασθε τὰ ῥήματά μου.
15 for these are not drunken, as you take it up, for it is the third hour of the day.
Οὐ γὰρ ὡς ὑμεῖς ὑπολαμβάνετε, οὗτοι μεθύουσιν, ἔστιν γὰρ ὥρα τρίτη τῆς ἡμέρας,
16 But this is that which has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
ἀλλὰ τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ εἰρημένον διὰ τοῦ προφήτου Ἰωήλ:
17 And it will be in the last days, says God, I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh, And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, And your young men will see visions, And your old men will dream dreams;
‘Καὶ ἔσται ἐν ταῖς ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις’, λέγει ὁ ˚Θεός, ‘ἐκχεῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ˚Πνεύματός μου ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα, καὶ προφητεύσουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν, καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν, καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι ὑμῶν ὁράσεις ὄψονται, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ὑμῶν ἐνυπνίοις ἐνυπνιασθήσονται·
18 And also on My menservants, and on My maidservants, In those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, And they will prophesy;
καί γε ἐπὶ τοὺς δούλους μου, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς δούλας μου, ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐκχεῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ˚Πνεύματός μου, καὶ προφητεύσουσιν.
19 And I will give wonders in the sky above, And signs on the earth beneath—Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke,
Καὶ δώσω τέρατα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω, καὶ σημεῖα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω, αἷμα, καὶ πῦρ, καὶ ἀτμίδα καπνοῦ.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness, And the moon to blood, Before the coming of the Day of the LORD—the great and conspicuous;
Ὁ ἥλιος μεταστραφήσεται εἰς σκότος καὶ ἡ σελήνη εἰς αἷμα, πρὶν ἐλθεῖν ἡμέραν ˚Κυρίου τὴν μεγάλην καὶ ἐπιφανῆ.
21 And it will be, everyone who, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.
Καὶ ἔσται, πᾶς ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα ˚Κυρίου σωθήσεται.’
22 Men, Israelites! Hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through Him in the midst of you, according as also you yourselves have known,
Ἄνδρες, Ἰσραηλῖται, ἀκούσατε τοὺς λόγους τούτους: ˚Ἰησοῦν τὸν Ναζωραῖον, ἄνδρα ἀποδεδειγμένον ἀπὸ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς δυνάμεσι, καὶ τέρασι, καὶ σημείοις, οἷς ἐποίησεν διʼ αὐτοῦ ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν, καθὼς αὐτοὶ οἴδατε.
23 this One, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having been taken by lawless hands, having been crucified—you slew,
Τοῦτον τῇ, ὡρισμένῃ βουλῇ καὶ προγνώσει τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἔκδοτον διὰ χειρὸς ἀνόμων, προσπήξαντες ἀνείλατε.
24 whom God raised up, having loosed the travails of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it;
Ὃν ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἀνέστησεν, λύσας τὰς ὠδῖνας τοῦ θανάτου, καθότι οὐκ ἦν δυνατὸν κρατεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ.
25 for David says in regard to Him: I foresaw the LORD always before me—Because He is on my right hand—That I may not be moved;
Δαυὶδ γὰρ λέγει εἰς αὐτόν, ‘Προορώμην τὸν ˚Κύριον ἐνώπιόν μου διὰ παντός, ὅτι ἐκ δεξιῶν μού ἐστιν, ἵνα μὴ σαλευθῶ.
26 Because of this was my heart cheered, And my tongue was glad, And yet—my flesh will also rest on hope,
Διὰ τοῦτο ηὐφράνθη μου ἡ καρδία καὶ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἡ γλῶσσά μου, ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου κατασκηνώσει ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι·
27 Because You will not leave my soul to Hades, Nor will You give Your Holy One to see corruption; (Hadēs g86)
ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ἍΙδην, οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν Ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν. (Hadēs g86)
28 You made known to me ways of life, You will fill me with joy with Your countenance.
Ἐγνώρισάς μοι ὁδοὺς ζωῆς, πληρώσεις με εὐφροσύνης μετὰ τοῦ προσώπου σου.’
29 Men, brothers! It is permitted to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us to this day;
Ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί, ἐξὸν εἰπεῖν μετὰ παρρησίας πρὸς ὑμᾶς περὶ τοῦ πατριάρχου Δαυὶδ ὅτι καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν καὶ ἐτάφη, καὶ τὸ μνῆμα αὐτοῦ ἔστιν ἐν ἡμῖν ἄχρι τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
30 therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God swore to him with an oath, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit on his throne,
Προφήτης οὖν ὑπάρχων, καὶ εἰδὼς ὅτι ‘ὅρκῳ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Θεὸς’, ‘ἐκ καρποῦ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ, καθίσαι ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ’.
31 having foreseen, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left to Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
Προϊδὼν, ἐλάλησεν περὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ ὅτι ‘οὔτε ἐγκατελείφθη εἰς ἍΙδην’, οὔτε ἡ σὰρξ αὐτοῦ ‘εἶδεν διαφθοράν’. (Hadēs g86)
32 God raised up this Jesus, of which we are all witnesses;
Τοῦτον τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν ἀνέστησεν ὁ ˚Θεός, οὗ πάντες ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν μάρτυρες.
33 then having been exalted at the right hand of God—also having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father—He poured forth this which you now see and hear;
Τῇ δεξιᾷ οὖν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ὑψωθεὶς, τήν τε ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος τοῦ Ἁγίου, λαβὼν παρὰ τοῦ Πατρὸς, ἐξέχεεν τοῦτο ὃ ὑμεῖς βλέπετε καὶ ἀκούετε.
34 for David did not go up into the heavens, and he says himself: The LORD says to my Lord, Sit at My right hand,
Οὐ γὰρ Δαυὶδ ἀνέβη εἰς τοὺς οὐρανούς, λέγει δὲ αὐτός, ‘Εἶπεν ˚Κύριος τῷ ˚Κυρίῳ μου, “Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου,
35 Until I make Your enemies Your footstool;
ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου.”’
36 assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know that God made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you crucified.”
Ἀσφαλῶς οὖν γινωσκέτω πᾶς οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι καὶ ˚Κύριον αὐτὸν καὶ ˚Χριστὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ ˚Θεός, τοῦτον τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν ὃν ὑμεῖς ἐσταυρώσατε.”
37 And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they also say to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, “What will we do, men, brothers?”
Ἀκούσαντες δὲ, κατενύγησαν τὴν καρδίαν, εἶπόν τε πρὸς τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς ἀποστόλους, “Τί ποιήσωμεν, ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί;”
38 And Peter said to them, “Convert, and each of you be immersed on the Name of Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,
Πέτρος δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς, “Μετανοήσατε”, φησίν, “καὶ βαπτισθήτω ἕκαστος ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ, εἰς ἄφεσιν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ λήμψεσθε τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ Ἁγίου ˚Πνεύματος.
39 for the promise is to you and to your children, and to all those far off, as many as the LORD our God will call.”
Ὑμῖν γάρ ἐστιν ἡ ἐπαγγελία, καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς εἰς μακρὰν, ὅσους ἂν προσκαλέσηται ˚Κύριος, ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἡμῶν.”
40 Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation”;
Ἑτέροις τε λόγοις πλείοσιν διεμαρτύρατο, καὶ παρεκάλει αὐτοὺς λέγων, “Σώθητε ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς τῆς σκολιᾶς ταύτης.”
41 then those, indeed, who gladly received his word were immersed, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,
Οἱ μὲν οὖν ἀποδεξάμενοι τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθησαν, καὶ προσετέθησαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ψυχαὶ ὡσεὶ τρισχίλιαι.
42 and they were continuing steadfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers.
Ἦσαν δὲ προσκαρτεροῦντες τῇ διδαχῇ τῶν ἀποστόλων, καὶ τῇ κοινωνίᾳ, τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου, καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς.
43 And fear came on every soul, also many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles,
Ἐγίνετο δὲ πάσῃ ψυχῇ φόβος, πολλά δὲ τέρατα καὶ σημεῖα διὰ τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο.
44 and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common,
Πάντες δὲ οἱ πιστεύσαντες ἦσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ, καὶ εἶχον ἅπαντα κοινά,
45 and they were selling the possessions and the goods, and were parting them to all, according as anyone had need.
καὶ τὰ κτήματα καὶ τὰς ὑπάρξεις ἐπίπρασκον, καὶ διεμέριζον αὐτὰ πᾶσιν, καθότι ἄν τις χρείαν εἶχεν.
46 Also continuing daily with one accord in the temple, also breaking bread at every house, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart,
Καθʼ ἡμέραν τε προσκαρτεροῦντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, κλῶντές τε κατʼ οἶκον ἄρτον, μετελάμβανον τροφῆς ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει καὶ ἀφελότητι καρδίας,
47 praising God, and having favor with all the people, and the LORD was adding those being saved every day to the Assembly.
αἰνοῦντες τὸν ˚Θεὸν καὶ ἔχοντες χάριν πρὸς ὅλον τὸν λαόν. Ὁ δὲ ˚Κύριος προσετίθει τοὺς σῳζομένους καθʼ ἡμέραν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.
