Acts 2
1 At length, on the day of the Harvest Festival, they had all met in one place;
Et dum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes pariter in eodem loco:
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;
et factus est repente de caelo sonus, tamquam advenientis spiritus vehementis, et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes.
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.
Et apparuerunt illis dispertitae linguae tamquam ignis, seditque supra singulos eorum:
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.
et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu sancto, et coeperunt loqui variis linguis, prout Spiritus sanctus dabat eloqui illis.
5 Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every part of the world.
Erant autem in Ierusalem habitantes Iudaei, viri religiosi ex omni natione, quae sub caelo est.
6 So when this noise was heard, they came crowding together, and were amazed because everyone heard his own language spoken.
Facta autem hac voce, convenit multitudo, et mente confusa est, quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes.
7 They were beside themselves with wonder, and exclaimed, "Are not all these speakers Galilaeans?
Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes: Nonne ecce omnes isti, qui loquuntur, Galilaei sunt,
8 How then does each of us hear his own native language spoken by them?
et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram, in qua nati sumus?
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,
Parthi, et Medi, et Aelamitae, et qui habitant Mespotamiam, Iudaeam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam,
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.
Phrygiam, et Pamphyliam, Aegyptum, et partes Libyae, quae est circa Cyrenen, et advenae Romani,
11 Yet we all alike hear these Galilaeans speaking in our own language about the wonderful things which God has done."
Iudaei quoque, et Proselyti, Cretes, et Arabes: audivimus eos loquentes nostris linguis magnalia Dei.
12 They were all astounded and bewildered, and asked one another, "What can this mean?"
Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur ad invicem dicentes: Quidnam vult hoc esse?
13 But others, scornfully jeering, said, "They are brim-full of sweet wine."
Alii autem irridentes dicebant: Quia musto pleni sunt isti.
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.
Stans autem Petrus cum undecim levavit vocem suam, et locutus est eis: Viri Iudaei, et qui habitatis Ierusalem universi, hoc vobis notum sit, et auribus percipite verba mea.
15 For this is not intoxication, as you suppose, it being only the third hour of the day.
Non enim, sicut vos aestimatis, hi ebrii sunt, cum sit hora diei tertia:
16 But that which was predicted through the Prophet Joel has happened:
sed hoc est, quod dictum est per prophetam Ioel:
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;
Et erit in novissimis diebus (dicit Dominus) effundam de Spiritu meo super omnem carnem: et prophetabunt filii vestri, et filiae vestrae, et iuvenes vestri visiones videbunt, et seniores vestri somnia somniabunt.
18 and even upon My bondservants, both men and women, at that time, I will pour out 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 I will display marvels in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
et dabo prodigia in caelo 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, to usher in the day of the Lord-- that great and illustrious day;
Sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus.
21 and every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
Et erit: omnis, quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.
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--
Viri Israelitae, audite verba haec: Iesum Nazarenum, virum approbatum a Deo in vobis, virtutibus, et prodigiis, et signis, quae fecit Deus per illum in medio vestri, sicut et vos scitis:
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.
hunc definito consilio, et praescientia Dei traditum, per manus iniquorum affligentes interemistis:
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.
quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, iuxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo. (questioned)
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.
David enim dicit in eum: Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi ne commovear:
26 For this reason my heart is glad and my tongue exults. My body also shall rest in hope.
Propter hoc laetatum est cor meum, et exultavit lingua mea, insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe:
27 For Thou wilt not leave me in the Unseen World forsaken, nor give up Thy holy One to undergo decay. (Hadēs g86)
Quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis Sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of Life: Thou wilt fill me with gladness in Thy presence.'
Notas mihi fecisti vias vitae: et replebis me iucunditate cum facie tua.
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.
Viri fratres, liceat audenter dicere ad vos de patriarcha David quoniam defunctus est, et sepultus est: et sepulchrum eius est apud nos usque in hodiernum diem.
30 Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne,
Propheta igitur cum esset, et sciret quia iureiurando iurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi eius sedere super sedem eius:
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)
providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi, quia neque derelictus est in inferno, neque caro eius vidit corruptionem. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify.
Hunc Iesum resuscitavit Deus, cuius omnes nos testes sumus.
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.
Dextera igitur Dei exaltatus, et promissione Spiritus sancti accepta a Patre, effudit hoc donum, quod vos videtis, et auditis.
34 For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he says himself, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
Non enim David ascendit in caelum: dixit autem ipse: Dixit Dominus Domino meo, sede a dextris meis
35 until I make thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
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."
Certissime sciat ergo omnis domus Israel, quia et Dominum eum, et Christum fecit Deus, hunc Iesum, quem vos crucifixistis.
37 Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, "Brethren, what are we to do?"
His autem auditis, compuncti sunt corde, et dixerunt ad Petrum, et ad reliquos Apostolos: Quid faciemus, viri fratres?
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.
Petrus vero ad illos: Poenitentiam (inquit) agite, et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Iesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum: et accipietis donum Spiritus sancti.
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."
Vobis enim est repromissio, et filiis vestris, et omnibus, qui longe sunt, quoscumque advocaverit Dominus Deus noster.
40 And with many more appeals he solemnly warned and entreated them, saying, "Escape from this crooked generation."
Aliis etiam verbis plurimis testificatus est, et exhortabatur eos, dicens: Salvamini a generatione ista prava.
41 Those, therefore, who joyfully welcomed his Message were baptized; and on that one day about three thousand persons were added to them;
Qui ergo receperunt sermonem eius, baptizati sunt: et appositae sunt in die illa animae circiter tria millia.
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.
Erant autem perseverantes in doctrina Apostolorum, et communicatione fractionis panis, et orationibus.
43 Fear came upon every one, and many marvels and signs were done by the Apostles.
Fiebat autem omni animae timor: multa quoque prodigia, et signa per Apostolos in Ierusalem fiebant, et metus erat magnus in universis.
44 And all the believers kept together, and had everything in common.
Omnes etiam, qui credebant, erant pariter, et habebant omnia communia.
45 They sold their lands and other property, and distributed the proceeds among all, according to every one's necessities.
Possessiones et substantias vendebant, et dividebant illa omnibus, prout cuique opus erat.
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,
Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo, et frangentes circa domos panem, sumebant cibum cum exultatione, et simplicitate cordis,
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.
collaudantes Deum, et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem. Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent quotidie in idipsum.
