Πραξεις 2
1 και εν τω συμπληρουσθαι την ημεραν της πεντηκοστης ησαν παντες ομου επι το αυτο
SO when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with unanimity assembled together.
2 και εγενετο αφνω εκ του ουρανου ηχος ωσπερ φερομενης πνοης βιαιας και επληρωσεν ολον τον οικον ου ησαν καθημενοι
And there came suddenly from heaven a sound as it were of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 και ωφθησαν αυτοις διαμεριζομεναι γλωσσαι ωσει πυρος και εκαθισεν εφ ενα εκαστον αυτων
And there was an appearance to them of divided tongues, as of fire, and it rested on every one of them.
4 και επλησθησαν παντες πνευματος αγιου και ηρξαντο λαλειν ετεραις γλωσσαις καθως το πνευμα εδιδου αποφθεγγεσθαι αυτοις
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
5 ησαν δε {VAR1: εν } {VAR2: εις } ιερουσαλημ κατοικουντες ιουδαιοι ανδρες ευλαβεις απο παντος εθνους των υπο τον ουρανον
Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, men of piety, from every nation under heaven.
6 γενομενης δε της φωνης ταυτης συνηλθεν το πληθος και συνεχυθη οτι {VAR1: ηκουσεν } {VAR2: ηκουον } εις εκαστος τη ιδια διαλεκτω λαλουντων αυτων
And when this report spread, the multitude collected around them, and were overwhelmed with astonishment, because they heard them speaking every one in his own peculiar dialect.
7 εξισταντο δε και εθαυμαζον λεγοντες {VAR1: ουχι ιδου παντες } {VAR2: ουχ ιδου απαντες } ουτοι εισιν οι λαλουντες γαλιλαιοι
And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying one to another, Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 και πως ημεις ακουομεν εκαστος τη ιδια διαλεκτω ημων εν η εγεννηθημεν
And how do we hear every man in our own peculiar dialect, in which from our birth we were brought up?
9 παρθοι και μηδοι και ελαμιται και οι κατοικουντες την μεσοποταμιαν ιουδαιαν τε και καππαδοκιαν ποντον και την ασιαν
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,
10 φρυγιαν τε και παμφυλιαν αιγυπτον και τα μερη της λιβυης της κατα κυρηνην και οι επιδημουντες ρωμαιοι ιουδαιοι τε και προσηλυτοι
and Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia adjoining Cyrene, and the sojourners, who are Romans, both Jews and proselytes,
11 κρητες και αραβες ακουομεν λαλουντων αυτων ταις ημετεραις γλωσσαις τα μεγαλεια του θεου
Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own several tongues the marvellous things of God.
12 εξισταντο δε παντες και {VAR1: διηπορουντο } {VAR2: διηπορουν } αλλος προς αλλον λεγοντες τι θελει τουτο ειναι
And they were all amazed, and much perplexed, and knew not what to think, saying one to another, What can this mean?
13 ετεροι δε διαχλευαζοντες ελεγον οτι γλευκους μεμεστωμενοι εισιν
But others scoffing said, These men are brimful of sweet wine.
14 σταθεις δε ο πετρος συν τοις ενδεκα επηρεν την φωνην αυτου και απεφθεγξατο αυτοις ανδρες ιουδαιοι και οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ παντες τουτο υμιν γνωστον εστω και ενωτισασθε τα ρηματα μου
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them; Men of Judea, and all ye who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words:
15 ου γαρ ως υμεις υπολαμβανετε ουτοι μεθυουσιν εστιν γαρ ωρα τριτη της ημερας
for these men are not, as ye suppose, drunk, for it is only the third hour of the day.
16 αλλα τουτο εστιν το ειρημενον δια του προφητου ιωηλ
But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 και εσται εν ταις εσχαταις ημεραις λεγει ο θεος εκχεω απο του πνευματος μου επι πασαν σαρκα και προφητευσουσιν οι υιοι υμων και αι θυγατερες υμων και οι νεανισκοι υμων ορασεις οψονται και οι πρεσβυτεροι υμων ενυπνιοις ενυπνιασθησονται
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour our of my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 και γε επι τους δουλους μου και επι τας δουλας μου εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις εκχεω απο του πνευματος μου και προφητευσουσιν
and upon my servants and my handmaidens in those days will I pour out of my spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 και δωσω τερατα εν τω ουρανω ανω και σημεια επι της γης κατω αιμα και πυρ και ατμιδα καπνου
and I will perform prodigies in the heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke.
20 ο ηλιος μεταστραφησεται εις σκοτος και η σεληνη εις αιμα πριν ελθειν ημεραν κυριου την μεγαλην και επιφανη
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and illustrious day of the Lord come.
21 και εσται πας ος {VAR1: εαν } {VAR2: αν } επικαλεσηται το ονομα κυριου σωθησεται
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Lord shall be saved.”
22 ανδρες ισραηλιται ακουσατε τους λογους τουτους ιησουν τον ναζωραιον ανδρα αποδεδειγμενον απο του θεου εις υμας δυναμεσιν και τερασιν και σημειοις οις εποιησεν δι αυτου ο θεος εν μεσω υμων καθως αυτοι οιδατε
Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know:
23 τουτον τη ωρισμενη βουλη και προγνωσει του θεου εκδοτον δια χειρος ανομων προσπηξαντες ανειλατε
him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 ον ο θεος ανεστησεν λυσας τας ωδινας του θανατου καθοτι ουκ ην δυνατον κρατεισθαι αυτον υπ αυτου
whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby.
25 δαυιδ γαρ λεγει εις αυτον προορωμην τον κυριον ενωπιον μου δια παντος οτι εκ δεξιων μου εστιν ινα μη σαλευθω
For David speaketh concerning him, “I have seen the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I might not be shaken:
26 δια τουτο ηυφρανθη {VAR1: μου η καρδια } {VAR2: η καρδια μου } και ηγαλλιασατο η γλωσσα μου ετι δε και η σαρξ μου κατασκηνωσει επ ελπιδι
therefore is my heart full of joy, and my tongue hath exulted; and still shall my flesh also repose in hope,
27 οτι ουκ εγκαταλειψεις την ψυχην μου εις αδην ουδε δωσεις τον οσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν (Hadēs g86)
that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 εγνωρισας μοι οδους ζωης πληρωσεις με ευφροσυνης μετα του προσωπου σου
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with delight by thy countenance.”
29 ανδρες αδελφοι εξον ειπειν μετα παρρησιας προς υμας περι του πατριαρχου δαυιδ οτι και ετελευτησεν και εταφη και το μνημα αυτου εστιν εν ημιν αχρι της ημερας ταυτης
Men and brethren, permit me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he hath been both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us to this day.
30 προφητης ουν υπαρχων και ειδως οτι ορκω ωμοσεν αυτω ο θεος εκ καρπου της οσφυος αυτου καθισαι επι τον θρονον αυτου
Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah to sit upon his throne;
31 προιδων ελαλησεν περι της αναστασεως του χριστου οτι ουτε εγκατελειφθη εις αδην ουτε η σαρξ αυτου ειδεν διαφθοραν (Hadēs g86)
he, foreseeing this, spake of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the mansion of the dead, and that his flesh should not see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 τουτον τον ιησουν ανεστησεν ο θεος ου παντες ημεις εσμεν μαρτυρες
This very Jesus hath God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
33 τη δεξια ουν του θεου υψωθεις την τε επαγγελιαν του πνευματος του αγιου λαβων παρα του πατρος εξεχεεν τουτο ο υμεις [και] βλεπετε και ακουετε
He therefore being exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, hath poured out this, which ye now see and hear.
34 ου γαρ δαυιδ ανεβη εις τους ουρανους λεγει δε αυτος ειπεν {VAR2: [ο] } κυριος τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου
For David is not ascended into the heavens: for he saith himself, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit on my right hand,
35 εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
until I make thine enemies a footstool for thy feet.”
36 ασφαλως ουν γινωσκετω πας οικος ισραηλ οτι και κυριον αυτον και χριστον εποιησεν ο θεος τουτον τον ιησουν ον υμεις εσταυρωσατε
Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him Lord and Messiah, even that very Jesus whom ye crucified.
37 ακουσαντες δε κατενυγησαν την καρδιαν ειπον τε προς τον πετρον και τους λοιπους αποστολους τι ποιησωμεν ανδρες αδελφοι
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 πετρος δε προς αυτους μετανοησατε {VAR2: [φησιν] } και βαπτισθητω εκαστος υμων {VAR1: εν } {VAR2: επι } τω ονοματι ιησου χριστου εις αφεσιν των αμαρτιων υμων και λημψεσθε την δωρεαν του αγιου πνευματος
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 υμιν γαρ εστιν η επαγγελια και τοις τεκνοις υμων και πασιν τοις εις μακραν οσους αν προσκαλεσηται κυριος ο θεος ημων
For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off; even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 ετεροις τε λογοις πλειοσιν διεμαρτυρατο και παρεκαλει αυτους λεγων σωθητε απο της γενεας της σκολιας ταυτης
And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this untoward generation.
41 οι μεν ουν αποδεξαμενοι τον λογον αυτου εβαπτισθησαν και προσετεθησαν εν τη ημερα εκεινη ψυχαι ωσει τρισχιλιαι
They therefore who gladly received his discourse were baptised: and there were added to them that day about three thousand souls.
42 ησαν δε προσκαρτερουντες τη διδαχη των αποστολων και τη κοινωνια τη κλασει του αρτου και ταις προσευχαις
And they persevered stedfastly in the doctrine of the apostles, and in communion, and in breaking bread, and in prayers.
43 εγινετο δε παση ψυχη φοβος πολλα {VAR1: δε } {VAR2: τε } τερατα και σημεια δια των αποστολων εγινετο
And on every soul there was an awe: and many miracles and signs were done by the apostles.
44 παντες δε οι {VAR1: πιστευσαντες } {VAR2: πιστευοντες ησαν {VAR1: επι το αυτο } και } ειχον απαντα κοινα
Now all who believed were together, and had all things common;
45 και τα κτηματα και τας υπαρξεις επιπρασκον και διεμεριζον αυτα πασιν καθοτι αν τις χρειαν ειχεν
and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as every one had need.
46 καθ ημεραν τε προσκαρτερουντες ομοθυμαδον εν τω ιερω κλωντες τε κατ οικον αρτον μετελαμβανον τροφης εν αγαλλιασει και αφελοτητι καρδιας
And daily continuing with one mind at the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with great joy and simplicity of heart,
47 αινουντες τον θεον και εχοντες χαριν προς ολον τον λαον ο δε κυριος προσετιθει τους σωζομενους καθ ημεραν επι το αυτο
praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added the saved ones daily to the church.
