Acts 2
1 At length, on the day of the Harvest Festival, they had all met in one place;
Καὶ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς Πεντηκοστῆς, ἦσαν πάντες ὁμοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.
2 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;
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἄφνω ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἦχος, ὥσπερ φερομένης πνοῆς βιαίας, καὶ ἐπλήρωσεν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον οὗ ἦσαν καθήμενοι.
3 and they saw tongues of what looked like fire distributing themselves over the assembly, and on the head of each person a tongue alighted.
Καὶ ὤφθησαν αὐτοῖς διαμεριζόμεναι γλῶσσαι ὡσεὶ πυρός, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐφʼ ἕνα ἕκαστον αὐτῶν.
4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in foreign languages according as the Spirit gave them words to utter.
Καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν πάντες ˚Πνεύματος Ἁγίου, καὶ ἤρξαντο λαλεῖν ἑτέραις γλώσσαις, καθὼς τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα ἐδίδου ἀποφθέγγεσθαι αὐτοῖς.
5 Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every part of the world.
Ἦσαν δὲ ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ κατοικοῦντες Ἰουδαῖοι, ἄνδρες εὐλαβεῖς ἀπὸ παντὸς ἔθνους τῶν ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανόν.
6 So when this noise was heard, they came crowding together, and were amazed because everyone heard his own language spoken.
Γενομένης δὲ τῆς φωνῆς ταύτης, συνῆλθε τὸ πλῆθος καὶ συνεχύθη, ὅτι ἤκουσεν εἷς ἕκαστος τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ λαλούντων αὐτῶν.
7 They were beside themselves with wonder, and exclaimed, "Are not all these speakers Galilaeans?
Ἐξίσταντο δὲ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον λέγοντες, “Οὐχ ἰδοὺ, ἅπαντες οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ λαλοῦντες Γαλιλαῖοι;
8 How then does each of us hear his own native language spoken by them?
Καὶ πῶς ἡμεῖς ἀκούομεν ἕκαστος τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ ἡμῶν, ἐν ᾗ ἐγεννήθημεν;
9 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,
Πάρθοι, καὶ Μῆδοι, καὶ Ἐλαμῖται, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν, Ἰουδαίαν τε καὶ Καππαδοκίαν, Πόντον καὶ τὴν Ἀσίαν,
10 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.
Φρυγίαν τε καὶ Παμφυλίαν, Αἴγυπτον, καὶ τὰ μέρη τῆς Λιβύης τῆς κατὰ Κυρήνην, καὶ οἱ ἐπιδημοῦντες Ῥωμαῖοι,
11 Yet we all alike hear these Galilaeans speaking in our own language about the wonderful things which God has done."
Ἰουδαῖοί τε καὶ προσήλυτοι, Κρῆτες καὶ Ἄραβες– ἀκούομεν λαλούντων αὐτῶν, ταῖς ἡμετέραις γλώσσαις, τὰ μεγαλεῖα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.”
12 They were all astounded and bewildered, and asked one another, "What can this mean?"
Ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες καὶ διηποροῦντο, ἄλλος πρὸς ἄλλον λέγοντες, “Τί θέλει τοῦτο εἶναι;”
13 But others, scornfully jeering, said, "They are brim-full of sweet wine."
Ἕτεροι δὲ διαχλευάζοντες ἔλεγον, ὅτι “Γλεύκους μεμεστωμένοι εἰσίν.”
14 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.
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 this is not intoxication, as you suppose, it being only the third hour of the day.
Οὐ γὰρ ὡς ὑμεῖς ὑπολαμβάνετε, οὗτοι μεθύουσιν, ἔστιν γὰρ ὥρα τρίτη τῆς ἡμέρας,
16 But that which was predicted through the Prophet Joel has happened:
ἀλλὰ τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ εἰρημένον διὰ τοῦ προφήτου Ἰωήλ:
17 "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;
‘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 even upon My bondservants, both men and women, at that time, I will pour out My Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
καί γε ἐπὶ τοὺς δούλους μου, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς δούλας μου, ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐκχεῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ˚Πνεύματός μου, καὶ προφητεύσουσιν.
19 I will display marvels in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Καὶ δώσω τέρατα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω, καὶ σημεῖα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω, αἷμα, καὶ πῦρ, καὶ ἀτμίδα καπνοῦ.
20 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;
Ὁ ἥλιος μεταστραφήσεται εἰς σκότος καὶ ἡ σελήνη εἰς αἷμα, πρὶν ἐλθεῖν ἡμέραν ˚Κυρίου τὴν μεγάλην καὶ ἐπιφανῆ.
21 and every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
Καὶ ἔσται, πᾶς ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα ˚Κυρίου σωθήσεται.’
22 "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--
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 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.
Τοῦτον τῇ, ὡρισμένῃ βουλῇ καὶ προγνώσει τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἔκδοτον διὰ χειρὸς ἀνόμων, προσπήξαντες ἀνείλατε.
24 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.
Ὃν ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἀνέστησεν, λύσας τὰς ὠδῖνας τοῦ θανάτου, καθότι οὐκ ἦν δυνατὸν κρατεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ.
25 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.
Δαυὶδ γὰρ λέγει εἰς αὐτόν, ‘Προορώμην τὸν ˚Κύριον ἐνώπιόν μου διὰ παντός, ὅτι ἐκ δεξιῶν μού ἐστιν, ἵνα μὴ σαλευθῶ.
26 For this reason my heart is glad and my tongue exults. My body also shall rest in hope.
Διὰ τοῦτο ηὐφράνθη μου ἡ καρδία καὶ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἡ γλῶσσά μου, ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου κατασκηνώσει ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι·
27 For Thou wilt not leave me in the Unseen World forsaken, nor give up Thy holy One to undergo decay. (Hadēs g86)
ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ἍΙδην, οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν Ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of Life: Thou wilt fill me with gladness in Thy presence.'
Ἐγνώρισάς μοι ὁδοὺς ζωῆς, πληρώσεις με εὐφροσύνης μετὰ τοῦ προσώπου σου.’
29 "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.
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 Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne,
Προφήτης οὖν ὑπάρχων, καὶ εἰδὼς ὅτι ‘ὅρκῳ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Θεὸς’, ‘ἐκ καρποῦ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ, καθίσαι ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ’.
31 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)
Προϊδὼν, ἐλάλησεν περὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ ὅτι ‘οὔτε ἐγκατελείφθη εἰς ἍΙδην’, οὔτε ἡ σὰρξ αὐτοῦ ‘εἶδεν διαφθοράν’. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify.
Τοῦτον τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν ἀνέστησεν ὁ ˚Θεός, οὗ πάντες ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν μάρτυρες.
33 "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.
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 ascend into Heaven, but he says himself, "'The Lord said 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 thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου.”’
36 "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."
Ἀσφαλῶς οὖν γινωσκέτω πᾶς οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ὅτι καὶ ˚Κύριον αὐτὸν καὶ ˚Χριστὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ ˚Θεός, τοῦτον τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν ὃν ὑμεῖς ἐσταυρώσατε.”
37 Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, "Brethren, what are we to do?"
Ἀκούσαντες δὲ, κατενύγησαν τὴν καρδίαν, εἶπόν τε πρὸς τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς ἀποστόλους, “Τί ποιήσωμεν, ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί;”
38 "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.
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 to you belongs the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, whoever the Lord our God may call."
Ὑμῖν γάρ ἐστιν ἡ ἐπαγγελία, καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς εἰς μακρὰν, ὅσους ἂν προσκαλέσηται ˚Κύριος, ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἡμῶν.”
40 And with many more appeals he solemnly warned and entreated them, saying, "Escape from this crooked generation."
Ἑτέροις τε λόγοις πλείοσιν διεμαρτύρατο, καὶ παρεκάλει αὐτοὺς λέγων, “Σώθητε ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς τῆς σκολιᾶς ταύτης.”
41 Those, therefore, who joyfully welcomed his Message were baptized; and on that one day about three thousand persons were added to them;
Οἱ μὲν οὖν ἀποδεξάμενοι τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθησαν, καὶ προσετέθησαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ψυχαὶ ὡσεὶ τρισχίλιαι.
42 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.
Ἦσαν δὲ προσκαρτεροῦντες τῇ διδαχῇ τῶν ἀποστόλων, καὶ τῇ κοινωνίᾳ, τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου, καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς.
43 Fear came upon every one, and many marvels and signs were done by the Apostles.
Ἐγίνετο δὲ πάσῃ ψυχῇ φόβος, πολλά δὲ τέρατα καὶ σημεῖα διὰ τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο.
44 And all the believers kept together, and had everything in common.
Πάντες δὲ οἱ πιστεύσαντες ἦσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ, καὶ εἶχον ἅπαντα κοινά,
45 They sold their lands and other property, and distributed the proceeds among all, according to every one's necessities.
καὶ τὰ κτήματα καὶ τὰς ὑπάρξεις ἐπίπρασκον, καὶ διεμέριζον αὐτὰ πᾶσιν, καθότι ἄν τις χρείαν εἶχεν.
46 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,
Καθʼ ἡμέραν τε προσκαρτεροῦντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, κλῶντές τε κατʼ οἶκον ἄρτον, μετελάμβανον τροφῆς ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει καὶ ἀφελότητι καρδίας,
47 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.
αἰνοῦντες τὸν ˚Θεὸν καὶ ἔχοντες χάριν πρὸς ὅλον τὸν λαόν. Ὁ δὲ ˚Κύριος προσετίθει τοὺς σῳζομένους καθʼ ἡμέραν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.
