Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Коли ж поча́вся день П'ятдесятниці, всі вони однодушно знахо́дилися вкупі.
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
І на́гло зчинився шум із не́ба, ніби буря рапто́ва зірва́лася, і перепо́внила ввесь той дім, де сиділи вони.
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
І з'явилися їм язи́ки поді́лені, немов би огне́нні, та й на кожному з них по одно́му осів.
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
Усі ж вони спо́внились Духом Святим, і почали́ говорити іншими мо́вами, як їм Дух промовляти давав.
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
Перебува́ли ж в Єрусалимі юдеї, люди побожні, від усякого наро́ду під небом.
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
А коли оцей го́мін зчинився, зібралася бе́зліч наро́ду, — та й диву далися, бо кожен із них тут почув, що вони розмовляли їхньою власною мовою!
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
Усі ж побенте́жилися та дивувалися, та й казали один до одно́го: „Хіба ж не галіле́яни всі ці, що гово́рять?
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
Як же кожен із нас чує свою́ власну мову, що ми в ній народи́лись?
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
Парфя́ни та мі́дяни та еламі́ти, також ме́шканці Месопота́мії, Юдеї та Каппадокі́ї, Понту та Азії,
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
і Фрі́ґії та Памфі́лії, Єгипту й лівійських земель край Кіре́ни, і захожі римля́ни,
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
юдеї й нововірці, крі́тяни й араби, — усі чуємо ми, що говорять вони про великі діла Божі мовами нашими!“
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
І всі не вихо́дили з дива, і безрадні були, і говорили один до одно́го: „Що ж то статися має?“
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
А інші казали глузу́ючи: „Вони повпива́лись вином молодим!“
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
Ставши ж Петро із Одинадцятьма́, свій голос підніс та й промовив до них: „Мужі юдейські та ме́шканці Єрусалиму! Нехай вам оце стане відо́ме, і послухайте слів моїх!
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
Бо не п'я́ні вони, як ви ду́маєте, — бо третя година дня,
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
а це те, що пророк Йоі́л передрік:
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
„І буде останніми днями, говорить Госпо́дь: Я виллю від Духа Свого на всяке тіло, — і будуть пророкува́ти сини ваші та ваші до́ньки, юнаки́ ж ваші бачити будуть виді́ння, а старим вашим сни будуть сни́тися.
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
І на рабів Моїх і на рабинь Моїх за тих днів Я також виллю від Духа Свого, — і пророкувати вони бу́дуть!
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
І дам чуда на небі вгорі, а внизу на землі ці знаме́на: кров, і огонь, і ку́ряву диму.
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
Переміниться сонце на те́мряву, а місяць на кров, перше ніж день Господній настане, великий та славний!
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
І станеться, що кожен, хто покличе Господнє Ім'я́, той спасеться“.
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
Мужі ізраїльські, послухайте ви оцих слів: Ісуса Назаряни́на, Мужа, що Його Бог прославив вам силою, і чудами, і тими знаме́нами, що Бог через Нього вчинив серед вас, як самі ви те знаєте,
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
Того, що був ви́даний певною волею та передба́ченням Божим, ви руками беззаконників розп'яли́ та забили.
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
Та Бог воскресив Його, пута смерти усунувши, — вона бо тримати Його не могла.
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
Бо каже про Нього Давид: „Мав я Господа за́всіди перед очима своїми, бо Він по правиці моїй, щоб я не захитався.
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
Тому серце моє звеселилось, і зрадів мій язик, і тіло моє відпочи́не в надії.
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
Бо не позоставши Ти в аду́ моєї душі, і не даси Ти Своєму Святому побачити тління! (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
Ти дороги життя об'явив мені, Ти мене перепо́вниш утіхою перед обличчям Своїм“!
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
Мужі-браття! Нехай буде вільно мені сміло сказати вам про патріярха Давида, що помер і похований, і знахо́диться гріб його в нас аж до цього дня.
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
А бувши ж пророком, та відаючи, що „Бог клятвою клявся йому посади́ти на престолі його від плоду його сте́гон“,
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
у передба́ченні він говорив про Христове воскре́сення, що „не буде зоставлений в аду́“, ані тіло Його „не зазнає зотління“. (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
Бог Ісуса Цього воскресив, чого свідки всі ми!
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
А отож, як правицею Божою був Він возне́сений, і обі́тницю Духа Святого прийняв від Отця, то й злив Він оте, що ви бачите й чуєте.
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
Не зійшов бо на небо Давид, але сам він говорить: „Промовив Госпо́дь Господе́ві моєму: Сядь право́руч Мене,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
доки не покладу́ Я Твоїх ворогів підніжком ногам Твоїм!“
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
Ото ж, нехай ввесь Ізраїлів дім твердо знає, що і Господом, і Христом учинив Бог Його, Того Ісуса, що Його розп'яли́ ви!“
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
Як почули ж оце, вони серцем розжа́лобились, та й сказали Петрові та іншим апо́столам: „Що ж ми маємо робити, мужі-браття?“
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
А Петро до них каже: „Покайтеся, і нехай же охриститься кожен із вас у Ім'я́ Ісуса Христа на відпу́щення ваших гріхів, — і да́ра Духа Святого ви при́ймете!
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
Бо для вас ця обі́тниця, і для ваших дітей, і для всіх, що „дале́ко знаходяться, кого б тільки покликав Госпо́дь, Бог наш“.
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
І іншими багатьома́ словами він засвідчував та вмовляв їх, говорячи: „Рятуйтесь від цього лукавого роду!“
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
Отож ті, хто прийняв його слово, охристилися. І пристало до них того дня душ тисяч зо три!
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
І вони перебува́ли в науці апо́стольській, та в спільно́ті брате́рській, і в лама́нні хліба, та в моли́твах.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
І був о́страх у кожній душі, бо багато чинили апо́столи чуд та знаме́н.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
А всі віруючі були вкупі, і мали все спі́льним.
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
І вони продавали маєтки та до́бра, і всім їх ділили, як кому чого треба було́.
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
І кожного дня перебува́ли вони однодушно у храмі, і, ломлячи хліб по домах, поживу приймали із радістю та в сердечній просто́ті,
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
вихваляючи Бога та маючи ласку в усього народу. І щоденно до Церкви Госпо́дь додава́в тих, що спасалися.
