Acts 2
1 And whanne the daies of Pentecost weren fillid, alle the disciplis weren togidre in the same place.
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in the same place.
2 And sodeynli ther was maad a sown fro heuene, as of a greet wynde comynge, and it fillide al the hous where thei saten.
Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 And diuerse tungis as fier apperiden to hem, and it sat on ech of hem.
There appeared to them tongues like fire that were distributed, and they sat upon each one of them.
4 And alle weren fillid with the Hooli Goost, and thei bigunnen to speke diuerse langagis, as the Hooli Goost yaf to hem for to speke.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them to speak.
5 And ther weren in Jerusalem dwellinge Jewis, religiouse men, of ech nacioun that is vndur heuene.
Now there were Jews who were living in Jerusalem, godly men, from every nation under heaven.
6 And whanne this vois was maad, the multitude cam togidere, and thei weren astonyed in thouyt, for ech man herde hem spekinge in his langage.
When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and was confused because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
7 And alle weren astonyed, and wondriden, and seiden togidere, Whether not alle these that speken ben men of Galyle,
They were amazed and marveled; they said, “Really, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 and hou herden we ech man his langage in which we ben borun?
Why is it that we are hearing them, each in our own language in which we were born?
9 Parthi, and Medi, and Elamyte, and thei that dwellen at Mesopotami, Judee, and Capodosie, and Ponte,
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
10 and Asie, Frigie, and Pamfilie, Egipt, and the parties of Libie, that is aboue Sirenen, and `comelingis Romayns, and Jewis,
Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya toward Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,
11 and proselitis, men of Crete, and of Arabie, we han herd hem spekynge in oure langagis the grete thingis of God.
Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our languages about the mighty works of God.”
12 And alle weren astonyed, and wondriden, `and seiden togidere, What wole this thing be?
They were all amazed and perplexed; they said to one another, “What does this mean?”
13 And othere scorneden, and seiden, For these men ben ful of must.
But others mocked and said, “They are full of new wine.”
14 But Petre stood with the enleuene, and reiside vp his vois, and spak to hem, Ye Jewis, and alle that dwellen at Jerusalem, be this knowun to you, and with eris perseyue ye my wordis.
But Peter stood with the eleven, raised his voice, and said to them, “Men of Judea and all of you who live at Jerusalem, let this be known to you; pay attention to my words.
15 For not as ye wenen, these ben dronkun, whanne it is the thridde our of the dai;
For these people are not drunk as you assume, for it is only the third hour of the day.
16 but this it is, that was seid bi the prophete Johel,
But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 And it schal be in the laste daies, the Lord seith, Y schal helde out my spirit on ech fleisch; and youre sones and youre douytris schulen prophesie, and youre yonge men schulen se visiouns, and youre eldris schulen dreme sweuenes.
'It will be in the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
18 And on my seruauntis and myn handmaidens in tho daies Y schal schede out of my spirit, and thei schulen prophecie.
Also on my servants and my female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 And Y schal yyue grete wondris in heuene aboue, and signes in erthe bynethe, blood, and fier, and heete of smoke.
I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below, blood, fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 The sunne schal be turned in to derknessis, and the moone in to blood, bifor that the greet and the opyn dai of the Lord come.
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and remarkable day of the Lord comes.
21 And it schal be, ech man which euere schal clepe to help the name of the Lord, schal be saaf.
It will be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'
22 Ye men of Israel, here ye these wordis. Jhesu of Nazareth, a man preued of God bifor you bi vertues, and wondris, and tokenes, which God dide bi hym in the myddil of you,
Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man accredited to you by God by the mighty deeds, the wonders, and the signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.
23 as ye witen, ye turmentiden, and killiden hym bi the hoondis of wyckid men, bi counseil determyned and bitakun bi the forknouwyng of God.
This man was handed over by God's predetermined plan and foreknowledge; and you, by the hand of lawless men, put him to death by nailing him to a cross.
24 Whom God reiside, whanne sorewis of helle weren vnboundun, bi that that it was impossible that he were holdun of it.
But God raised him up, freeing him from the pains of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
25 For Dauid seith of hym, Y saiy afer the Lord bifore me euermore, for he is on my riythalf, that Y be not mouyd.
For David says about him, 'I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is beside my right hand so that I should not be moved.
26 For this thing myn herte ioiede, and my tunge made ful out ioye, and more ouere my fleisch schal reste in hope.
Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Also, my flesh will live in certain hope.
27 For thou schalt not leeue my soule in helle, nethir thou schalt yiue thin hooli to se corrupcioun. (Hadēs g86)
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou hast maad knowun to me the weies of lijf, thou schalt fille me in myrthe with thi face.
You revealed to me the ways of life; you will make me full of gladness with your face.'
29 Britheren, be it leueful boldli to seie to you of the patriark Dauid, for he is deed and biried, and his sepulcre is among vs in to this dai.
Brothers, I can speak to you confidently about the patriarch David, he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 Therfore whanne he was a prophete, and wiste, that with a greet ooth God hadde sworn to hym, that of the fruyt of his leende schulde oon sitte on his seete,
Therefore, he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him, that he would set one of the fruit of his body upon his throne.
31 he seynge afer spak of the resurreccioun of Crist, for nether he was left in helle, nether his fleisch saiy corrupcioun. (Hadēs g86)
He saw what was to happen in the future and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, 'He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.' (Hadēs g86)
32 God reiside this Jhesu, to whom we alle ben witnessis.
This Jesus—God raised him up, of which we all are witnesses.
33 Therfor he was enhaunsid bi the riythoond of God, and thorouy the biheest of the Hooli Goost that he took of the fadir, he schedde out this spirit, that ye seen and heren.
Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promised Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you see and hear.
34 For Dauid stiede not in to heuene; but he seith, The Lord seide to my Lord,
For David did not ascend to the heaven, but he says, 'The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
35 Sitte thou on my riyt half, til Y putte thin enemyes a stool of thi feet.
until I make your enemies the stool for your feet.”'
36 Therfor moost certeynli wite al the hous of Israel, that God made hym bothe Lord and Crist, this Jhesu, whom ye crucefieden.
Therefore, let all the house of Israel certainly know that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 Whanne thei herden these thingis, thei weren compunct in herte; and thei seiden to Petre and othere apostlis, Britheren, what schulen we do?
Now when they heard this, they were pierced in their hearts, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 And Petre seide to hem, Do ye penaunce, and eche of you be baptisid in the name of Jhesu Crist, in to remissioun of youre synnes; and ye schulen take the yifte of the Hooli Goost.
Then Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the biheest is to you, and to youre sones, and to alle that ben fer, which euer oure Lord God hath clepid.
For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, as many people as the Lord our God will call.”
40 Also with othere wordis ful many he witnesside to hem, and monestide hem, and seide, Be ye sauyd fro this schrewid generacioun.
With many other words he testified and urged them; he said, “Save yourselves from this wicked generation.”
41 Thanne thei that resseyueden his word weren baptisid, and in that dai soulis weren encreesid, aboute thre thousinde;
Then they received his word and were baptized, and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
42 and weren lastynge stabli in the teching of the apostlis, and in comynyng of the breking of breed, in preieris.
They continued in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in prayers.
43 And drede was maad to ech man. And many wondris and signes weren don bi the apostlis in Jerusalem, and greet drede was in alle.
Fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 And alle that bileueden weren togidre, and hadden alle thingis comyn.
All who believed were together and had all things in common,
45 Thei selden possessiouns and catel, and departiden tho thingis to alle men, as it was nede to ech.
and they sold their property and possessions and distributed them to all, according to the needs anyone had.
46 And ech dai thei dwelliden stabli with o wille in the temple, and braken breed aboute housis, and token mete with ful out ioye and symplenesse of herte,
So day after day they continued with one purpose in the temple, and they broke bread in homes, and they shared food with glad and humble hearts,
47 and herieden togidere God, and hadden grace to al the folk. And the Lord encreside hem that weren maad saaf, ech dai in to the same thing.
praising God and having favor with all the people, and every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
