Actuum Apostolorum 2
1 Et cum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes pariter in eodem loco:
And when the day of Pentecost was now 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.
And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of 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:
And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.
4 et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et cœperunt loqui variis linguis, prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Erant autem in Jerusalem habitantes Judæi, viri religiosi ex omni natione quæ sub cælo est.
Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
6 Facta autem hac voce, convenit multitudo, et mente confusa est, quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes.
And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes: Nonne ecce omnes isti qui loquuntur, Galilæi sunt?
And they were all amazed and marveled, saying, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram in qua nati sumus?
And how hear we, every man in our own language, wherein we were born?
9 Parthi, et Medi, et Ælamitæ, et qui habitant Mespotamiam, Judæam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam,
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygiam, et Pamphyliam, Ægyptum, et partes Libyæ quæ est circa Cyrenen: et advenæ Romani,
in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners 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 do hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God.
12 Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur ad invicem, dicentes: Quidnam vult hoc esse?
And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 Alii autem irridentes dicebant: Quia musto pleni sunt isti.
But 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 spake forth unto them, [saying], Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words.
15 Non enim, sicut vos æstimatis, hi ebrii sunt, cum sit hora diei tertia:
For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day;
16 sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophetam Joël:
but this is that which hath been spoken by 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 shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams:
18 Et quidem super servos meos, et super ancillas meas, in diebus illis effundam de Spiritu meo, et prophetabunt:
Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
19 et dabo prodigia in cælo sursum, et signa in terra deorsum, sanguinem, et ignem, et vaporem fumi:
And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable [day]:
21 Et erit: omnis quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.]
And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall 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:
Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know;
23 hunc, definito consilio et præscientia Dei traditum, per manus iniquorum affligentes interemistis:
him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay:
24 quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, juxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo. (questioned)
whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 David enim dicit in eum: [Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear:
For David saith concerning him, I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
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; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:
27 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem. (Hadēs g86)
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ: et replebis me jucunditate cum facie tua.]
Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.
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.
Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day.
30 Propheta igitur cum esset, et sciret quia jurejurando jurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi ejus sedere super sedem ejus:
Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set [one] upon 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] spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left in Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Hunc Jesum resuscitavit Deus, cujus omnes nos testes sumus.
This Jesus did God raise up, whereof 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 by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear.
34 Non enim David ascendit in cælum: dixit autem ipse: [Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis,
For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.]
Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy 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 assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye 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 pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall 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.
And Peter [said] unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
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 that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
40 Aliis etiam verbis plurimis testificatus est, et exhortabatur eos, dicens: Salvamini a generatione ista prava.
And 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.
They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added [unto them] in that day about three thousand souls.
42 Erant autem perseverantes in doctrina Apostolorum, et communicatione fractionis panis, et orationibus.
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers.
43 Fiebat autem omni animæ timor: multa quoque prodigia et signa per Apostolos in Jerusalem fiebant, et metus erat magnus in universis.
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 Omnes etiam qui credebant, erant pariter, et habebant omnia communia.
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 Possessiones et substantias vendebant, et dividebant illa omnibus, prout cuique opus erat.
and they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need.
46 Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo, et frangentes circa domos panem, sumebant cibum cum exsultatione et simplicitate cordis,
And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they did take 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 favour with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were being saved.
