Acts 2
1 And, when the day of pentecost was filling up [the number of days] they were all together with one intent; —
Et cum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes pariter in eodem loco:
2 When there came suddenly out of heaven a sound, just as of a mighty rushing wind, —and it 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 unto them—parting asunder—tongues like 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 Holy Spirit, and began to be speaking with other kinds of tongues just as the Spirit was giving unto them to be sounding forth.
et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu sancto, et cœperunt loqui variis linguis, prout Spiritus sanctus dabat eloqui illis.
5 Now there were in Jerusalem sojourning Jews, reverent men from every nation who were under heaven;
Erant autem in Ierusalem habitantes Iudæi, viri religiosi ex omni natione, quæ sub cælo est.
6 And this sound occurring the throng came together and was thrown into confusion, because each one severally heard in his own language them who were speaking;
Facta autem hac voce, convenit multitudo, et mente confusa est, quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes.
7 Yea they were beside themselves and did marvel, saying—Lo! are not all these who are speaking Galilaeans?
Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes: Nonne ecce omnes isti, qui loquuntur, Galilæi sunt,
8 How then do, we, hear each one in our own language in which we were born?
et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram, in qua nati sumus?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judaea also and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Parthi, et Medi, et Ælamitæ, et qui habitant Mespotamiam, Iudæam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam,
10 Phrygia also and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of the Libya that is towards Cyrene, and the sojourning Romans, —both Jews and proselytes,
Phrygiam, et Pamphyliam, Ægyptum, et partes Libyæ, quæ est circa Cyrenen, et advenæ Romani,
11 Cretans and Arabians, we do hear them speaking in our own tongues the magnificent things of God.
Iudæi quoque, et Proselyti, Cretes, et Arabes: audivimus eos loquentes nostris linguis magnalia Dei.
12 But they were all beside themselves and were utterly at a loss, saying one to another—What doth this please to be?
Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur ad invicem dicentes: Quidnam vult hoc esse?
13 While, others, in mockery were saying—With sweet wine, are they drunken!
Alii autem irridentes dicebant: Quia musto pleni sunt isti.
14 But, taking his stand, Peter with the eleven lifted up his voice, and sounded out unto them—Ye men of Judaea, and all ye who are sojourning in Jerusalem! Let, this, unto you be known, and give ear unto my declarations; —
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 not, as, ye, suppose, are these men drunken, 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 hath been 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, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and, your young men, visions shall see and, your elders, in dreams shall dream, —
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 And, even upon my men-servants and upon my maid-servants 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 set forth wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath, —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 turned into darkness and, the moon, into blood, —before the coming of the day of the Lord, the great and manifest [day];
Sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus.
21 And it shall be—Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
Et erit: omnis, quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.
22 Ye men of Israel! hear these words: —Jesus the Nazarene, a man pointed out of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did through him in your midst, just as ye 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 The same, by the marked out counsel and foreknowledge of God given up, through the hands of lawless men, suspending, ye slew,
hunc definito consilio, et præscientia Dei traditum, per manus iniquorum affligentes interemistis:
24 Whom, God, raised up, loosing the pangs of death, inasmuch as it was, not possible, for him to continue held fast by it.
quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, iuxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo. (questioned)
25 For, David, saith concerning him—I foresaw the Lord before me continually, because he is, on my right hand, that I may not be shaken;
David enim dicit in eum: Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi ne commovear:
26 For this reason, was my heart made glad and my tongue exulted, —ye further, even my flesh, shall encamp on hope:
Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exultavit lingua mea, insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe:
27 Because thou wilt not abandon my soul unto hades, neither wilt thou give thy man of lovingkindness to see corruption; (Hadēs g86)
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis Sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou madest known unto me paths of life, thou wilt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ: et replebis me iucunditate cum facie tua.
29 Brethren! it is, allowable, to say with freedom of speech unto you, concerning the patriarch David, —that he both died and was buried, and, his tomb, is among us until 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 then, a prophet, and knowing that, with an oath, God had sworn unto him, of the fruit of his loins, to seat on his throne,
Propheta igitur cum esset, et sciret quia iureiurando iurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi eius sedere super sedem eius:
31 With foresight, spake he concerning the resurrection of the Christ—that neither was he abandoned unto hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi, quia neque derelictus est in inferno, neque caro eius vidit corruptionem. (Hadēs g86)
32 The same Jesus, hath God raised up, whereof, all we, are witnesses!
Hunc Iesum resuscitavit Deus, cuius omnes nos testes sumus.
33 By the right hand of God, therefore, having been exalted, also, the promise of the Holy Spirit, having received from the Father, He hath poured out this which, yourselves, do see and hear.
Dextera igitur Dei exaltatus, et promissione Spiritus sancti accepta a Patre, effudit hunc, quem vos videtis, et auditis.
34 For, David, hath not ascended into the heavens; but he saith, himself, —Said the Lord unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
Non enim David ascendit in cælum: dixit autem ipse: Dixit Dominus Domino meo, sede a dextris meis
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
36 Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know: that, both Lord and Christ, hath God made him, even the same Jesus whom, ye, crucified!
Certissime sciat ergo omnis domus Israel, quia et Dominum eum, et Christum fecit Deus, hunc Iesum, quem vos crucifixistis.
37 And, when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles—What are we to do, brethren?
His autem auditis, compuncti sunt corde, et dixerunt ad Petrum, et ad reliquos Apostolos: Quid faciemus, viri fratres?
38 And Peter [said] unto them—Repent ye, and let each one of you be immersed, in the name of Jesus Christ, into the remission of your sins, —and ye shall receive the free-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, unto you, is the promise, and unto your children, —and unto all them who are afar off: as many soever as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
Vobis enim est repromissio, et filiis vestris, et omnibus, qui longe sunt, quoscumque advocaverit Dominus Deus noster.
40 And, with many different words, bare he frail witness, and went on exhorting them saying—Be saved from this perverse generation!
Aliis etiam verbis plurimis testificatus est, et exhortabatur eos, dicens: Salvamini a generatione ista prava.
41 They, therefore, who welcomed his word, were immersed; and there were added, on 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 went on to give constant attention—unto the teaching of the apostles, and unto the fellowship, unto the breaking of bread, and unto the prayers.
Erant autem perseverantes in doctrina Apostolorum, et communicatione fractionis panis, et orationibus.
43 And there came on every soul, fear, and, many wonders and signs, through means of the apostles, were coming to pass.
Fiebat autem omni animæ timor: multa quoque prodigia, et signa per Apostolos in Ierusalem fiebant, et metus erat magnus in universis.
44 And, all who believed, with one accord, began to hold all things common;
Omnes etiam, qui credebant, erant pariter, et habebant omnia communia.
45 and, their possessions and goods, were they selling and distributing them unto all, in so far as anyone had need.
Possessiones et substantias vendebant, et dividebant illa omnibus, prout cuique opus erat.
46 And, daily giving attendance with one intent in the temple and, at home, breaking bread, they were partaking of food with exultation and singleness 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, was adding them who were being saved, daily, together.
collaudantes Deum, et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem. Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent quotidie in idipsum.
