Acts 2
1 And during the arriving of the day of Pentecost they were (all *N(k)O*) (together *N(K)O*) in the one [place].
At length, on the day of the Harvest Festival, they had all met in one place;
2 And came suddenly out of heaven a sound like [the] rushing of a wind violent and it filled all the house where they were sitting
when suddenly there came from the sky a sound as of a strong rushing blast of wind. This filled the whole house where they were sitting;
3 And there appeared to them dividing tongues as of fire (and *N(k)O*) sat upon one each of them
and they saw tongues of what looked like fire distributing themselves over the assembly, and on the head of each person a tongue alighted.
4 And they were filled with (all *N(k)O*) Spirit Holy and began to speak in other tongues even as the Spirit was giving to utter forth to them.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in foreign languages according as the Spirit gave them words to utter.
5 Were now (in *N(k)O*) Jerusalem dwelling Jews, men devout from every nation of those under heaven.
Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every part of the world.
6 When was happening now sound this came together the multitude and was confounded, because (was hearing *NK(o)*) one each in their own language speaking them.
So when this noise was heard, they came crowding together, and were amazed because everyone heard his own language spoken.
7 They were amazed then (all *KO*) and were marveling saying (to one another: *K*) (Surely *NK(o)*) behold (all *N(k)O*) these are who are speaking Galileans?
They were beside themselves with wonder, and exclaimed, "Are not all these speakers Galilaeans?
8 And how we ourselves hear each in the own language of us in which we were born?
How then does each of us hear his own native language spoken by them?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and those inhabiting Mesopotamia, Judea also and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Some of us are Parthians, Medes, Elamites. Some are inhabitants of Mesopotamia, of Judaea or Cappadocia, of Pontus or the Asian Province, of Phrygia or Pamphylia,
10 Phrygia both and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya that [are] around Cyrene and those visiting [here] from Rome, Jews both and converts,
of Egypt or of the parts of Africa towards Cyrene. Others are visitors from Rome--being either Jews or converts from heathenism--and others are Cretans or Arabians.
11 Cretans and Arabs — [do] we hear speaking them in our own tongues the great things of God?
Yet we all alike hear these Galilaeans speaking in our own language about the wonderful things which God has done."
12 Were amazed then all and (they were perplexed *N(k)O*) other to other saying; What (maybe *k*) (intends *N(k)O*) this to be?
They were all astounded and bewildered, and asked one another, "What can this mean?"
13 Others however (mocking *N(k)O*) were saying that Of new wine filled they are.
But others, scornfully jeering, said, "They are brim-full of sweet wine."
14 Having stood up however (*no*) Peter with the eleven he lifted up the voice of him and spoke forth to them: Men of Judea and you who [are] inhabiting Jerusalem (all, *N(k)O*) this to you known should be and do give heed to the declarations of mine.
Peter however, together with the Eleven, stood up and addressed them in a loud voice. "Men of Judaea, and all you inhabitants of Jerusalem," he said, "be in no uncertainty about this matter but pay attention to what I say.
15 Not for as you yourselves suppose these are drunkards, it is for [the] hour third of the day,
For this is not intoxication, as you suppose, it being only the third hour of the day.
16 but this is that spoken through the prophet Joel:
But that which was predicted through the Prophet Joel has happened:
17 And it will be in the last days, says God, I will pour out of the Spirit of Mine upon all flesh and will prophesy the sons of you and the daughters of you, and the young men of you visions will behold and the elders of you (dreams *N(k)O*) will dream.
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, God says, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall have dreams;
18 and even upon the servants of Mine and upon the handmaidens of Mine in the days those I will pour out of the Spirit of Mine and they will prophesy.
and even upon My bondservants, both men and women, at that time, I will pour out My Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 and I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
I will display marvels in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before (than *ko*) coming (the *ko*) day of [the] Lord great and glorious.
The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, to usher in the day of the Lord-- that great and illustrious day;
21 And it will be, everyone who (when *NK(o)*) they shall call upon the name of [the] Lord will be saved.’
and every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
22 Men Israelites, do hear words these: Jesus of Nazareth, a man set forth by God to you by miracles and by wonders and by signs which did through Him God in [the] midst of you, even as (also *k*) you yourselves know,
"Listen, Israelites, to what I say. Jesus, the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles and marvels and signs which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know, Him--
23 Him by the determined plan and foreknowledge of God delivered up (having taken *K*) through (hand *N(k)O*) lawless having crucified You executed,
delivered up through God's settled purpose and foreknowledge--you by the hands of Gentiles have nailed to a cross and have put to death.
24 whom God raised up having loosed the agony of death, inasmuch as not it was possible [for] to be held Him by it.
But God has raised Him to life, having terminated the throes of death, for in fact it was not possible for Him to be held fast by death.
25 David for says about Him: I was foresseeing the Lord before me through all [times], because at [the] right hand of me He is that not I may be shaken;
For David says in reference to Him, "'I constantly fixed my eyes upon the Lord, because He is at my right hand in order that I may continue unshaken.
26 Because of this was glad the heart of mine and rejoiced the tongue of mine, and now also the flesh of mine will dwell in hope.
For this reason my heart is glad and my tongue exults. My body also shall rest in hope.
27 for not You will abandon the soul of mine into (Hades, *N(k)O*) nor will You allow the Holy One of You to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
For Thou wilt not leave me in the Unseen World forsaken, nor give up Thy holy One to undergo decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 You have made known to me [the] paths of life, You will fill me with joy in the presence of You.’
Thou hast made known to me the ways of Life: Thou wilt fill me with gladness in Thy presence.'
29 Men brothers, it is permitted [me] to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David that both he died and was buried and the tomb of him is among us unto day this.
"As to the patriarch David, I need hardly remind you, brethren, that he died and was buried, and that we still have his tomb among us.
30 A prophet therefore being and knowing that with an oath swore to him God out of [the] fruit of the loins of him (according to flesh going to raise up the Christ *K*) to set upon (the throne *N(k)O*) of him,
Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne,
31 Having foreseen he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ that (neither was He left behind *N(k)O*) (the soul of him *K*) into (Hades nor *N(k)O*) the flesh of Him saw decay. (Hadēs g86)
with prophetic foresight he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, to the effect that He was not left forsaken in the Unseen World, nor did His body undergo decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus has raised up God, of which all we ourselves are witnesses.
This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify.
33 To the right hand therefore of God having been exalted and the promise of the Spirit Holy having received from the Father He has poured out this which (now *k*) you yourselves (both *no*) are seeing and hearing.
"Being therefore lifted high by the mighty hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out this which you see and hear.
34 Not for David ascended into the heavens, he says however himself: Said the Lord to the Lord of me; do sit at [the] right hand of Me,
For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he says himself, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
35 until when I may place the enemies of You a footstool of the feet of You.’
until I make thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
36 Assuredly therefore should know all [the] house of Israel that both Lord Him and Christ has made God — this Jesus whom you yourselves crucified.
"Therefore let the whole House of Israel know beyond all doubt that God has made Him both LORD and CHRIST--this Jesus whom you crucified."
37 Having heard then they were pierced (to the heart, *N(k)O*) they said then to Peter and the other apostles; What (shall we do, *N(k)O*) men brothers?
Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, "Brethren, what are we to do?"
38 Peter then to them; do repent (he declared *N(k)O*) and should be baptized every one of you (in *NK(o)*) the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness (of the *no*) sins (of you *no*) and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit;
"Repent," replied Peter, "and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, with a view to the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 To you for is the promise and to the children of you and to all those at a distance, as many as maybe may call to Himself [the] Lord the God of us.
For to you belongs the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, whoever the Lord our God may call."
40 in other And words many (he earnestly testified *N(k)O*) and was exhorting (them *no*) saying; do be saved from the generation perverse this.
And with many more appeals he solemnly warned and entreated them, saying, "Escape from this crooked generation."
41 Those indeed therefore (gladly *K*) having received the word of him were baptized and were added (on *no*) the day that souls about three thousand.
Those, therefore, who joyfully welcomed his Message were baptized; and on that one day about three thousand persons were added to them;
42 They were now steadfastly continuing in the teaching of the apostles and in fellowship, (and *k*) in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers.
and they were constant in listening to the teaching of the Apostles and in their attendance at the Communion, that is, the Breaking of the Bread, and at prayer.
43 (There was becoming *N(k)O*) then upon every soul awe, many (and both *NK(o)*) wonders and signs through the apostles were taking place.
Fear came upon every one, and many marvels and signs were done by the Apostles.
44 All now those (believing *NK(o)*) were together the same and were having all things in common,
And all the believers kept together, and had everything in common.
45 and the possessions and the goods they were selling and they were dividing them to all as would anyone need had;
They sold their lands and other property, and distributed the proceeds among all, according to every one's necessities.
46 Every day and steadfastly continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking then at each house bread they were partaking of food with gladness and sincerity of heart
And, day by day, attending constantly in the Temple with one accord, and breaking bread in private houses, they took their meals with great happiness and single-heartedness,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding those who were being saved every day (to *no*) (them. *N(k)O*)
praising God and being regarded with favour by all the people. Also, day by day, the Lord added to their number those whom He was saving.
