Actuum Apostolorum 2
1 Et cum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes pariter in eodem loco:
Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
2 et factus est repente de cælo sonus, tamquam advenientis spiritus vehementis, et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes.
Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 Et apparuerunt illis dispertitæ linguæ tamquam ignis, seditque supra singulos eorum:
Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4 et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et cœperunt loqui variis linguis, prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak out.
5 Erant autem in Jerusalem habitantes Judæi, viri religiosi ex omni natione quæ sub cælo est.
Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout people from every nation under the sky.
6 Facta autem hac voce, convenit multitudo, et mente confusa est, quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes.
When this sound was heard, the crowd came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes: Nonne ecce omnes isti qui loquuntur, Galilæi sunt?
They were all amazed and marveled, saying, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
8 et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram in qua nati sumus?
How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
9 Parthi, et Medi, et Ælamitæ, et qui habitant Mespotamiam, Judæam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam,
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
10 Phrygiam, et Pamphyliam, Ægyptum, et partes Libyæ quæ est circa Cyrenen: et advenæ Romani,
Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Judæi quoque, et Proselyti, Cretes, et Arabes: audivimus eos loquentes nostris linguis magnalia Dei.
Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God."
12 Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur ad invicem, dicentes: Quidnam vult hoc esse?
They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, "What does this mean?"
13 Alii autem irridentes dicebant: Quia musto pleni sunt isti.
Others, mocking, said, "They are filled with new wine."
14 Stans autem Petrus cum undecim, levavit vocem suam, et locutus est eis: Viri Judæi, et qui habitatis Jerusalem universi, hoc vobis notum sit, et auribus percipite verba mea.
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, "You men of Judea, and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 Non enim, sicut vos æstimatis, hi ebrii sunt, cum sit hora diei tertia:
For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is only nine in the morning.
16 sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophetam Joël:
But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 [Et erit in novissimis diebus, dicit Dominus, effundam de Spiritu meo super omnem carnem: et prophetabunt filii vestri et filiæ vestræ, et juvenes vestri visiones videbunt, et seniores vestri somnia somniabunt.
'And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
18 Et quidem super servos meos, et super ancillas meas, in diebus illis effundam de Spiritu meo, et prophetabunt:
And even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19 et dabo prodigia in cælo sursum, et signa in terra deorsum, sanguinem, et ignem, et vaporem fumi:
And I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
20 sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus.
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 Et erit: omnis quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.]
And it will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'
22 Viri Israëlitæ, audite verba hæc: Jesum Nazarenum, virum approbatum a Deo in vobis, virtutibus, et prodigiis, et signis, quæ fecit Deus per illum in medio vestri, sicut et vos scitis:
"Men of Israel, hear these words. Jesus the Nazorean, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,
23 hunc, definito consilio et præscientia Dei traditum, per manus iniquorum affligentes interemistis:
him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
24 quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, juxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo. (questioned)
whom God raised up, having freed him from the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
25 David enim dicit in eum: [Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear:
For David says concerning him, 'I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken.
26 propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea, insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe:
Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced, and moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;
27 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Hadēs g86)
because you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ: et replebis me jucunditate cum facie tua.]
You made known to me the paths of life. You will make me full of joy in your presence.'
29 Viri fratres, liceat audenter dicere ad vos de patriarcha David, quoniam defunctus est, et sepultus: et sepulchrum ejus est apud nos usque in hodiernum diem.
"Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 Propheta igitur cum esset, et sciret quia jurejurando jurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi ejus sedere super sedem ejus:
Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that one of his descendants would sit on his throne,
31 providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi, quia neque derelictus est in inferno, neque caro ejus vidit corruptionem. (Hadēs g86)
he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah, that neither was he left in Sheol, nor did his flesh see decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Hunc Jesum resuscitavit Deus, cujus omnes nos testes sumus.
This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
33 Dextera igitur Dei exaltatus, et promissione Spiritus Sancti accepta a Patre, effudit hunc, quem vos videtis et auditis.
Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you see and hear.
34 Non enim David ascendit in cælum: dixit autem ipse: [Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis,
For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit by my right hand,
35 donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.]
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."'
36 Certissime sciat ergo omnis domus Israël, quia et Dominum eum et Christum fecit Deus hunc Jesum, quem vos crucifixistis.
"Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified."
37 His autem auditis, compuncti sunt corde, et dixerunt ad Petrum et ad reliquos Apostolos: Quid faciemus, viri fratres?
Now when they heard this, they were acutely distressed, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what should we do?"
38 Petrus vero ad illos: Pœnitentiam, inquit, agite, et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Jesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum: et accipietis donum Spiritus Sancti.
Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus (the) Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Vobis enim est repromissio, et filiis vestris, et omnibus qui longe sunt, quoscumque advocaverit Dominus Deus noster.
For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself."
40 Aliis etiam verbis plurimis testificatus est, et exhortabatur eos, dicens: Salvamini a generatione ista prava.
With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation."
41 Qui ergo receperunt sermonem ejus, baptizati sunt: et appositæ sunt in die illa animæ circiter tria millia.
Then those who received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
42 Erant autem perseverantes in doctrina Apostolorum, et communicatione fractionis panis, et orationibus.
They continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
43 Fiebat autem omni animæ timor: multa quoque prodigia et signa per Apostolos in Jerusalem fiebant, et metus erat magnus in universis.
Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Omnes etiam qui credebant, erant pariter, et habebant omnia communia.
All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
45 Possessiones et substantias vendebant, et dividebant illa omnibus, prout cuique opus erat.
They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
46 Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo, et frangentes circa domos panem, sumebant cibum cum exsultatione et simplicitate cordis,
Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 collaudantes Deum et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem. Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent quotidie in idipsum.
praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
