Actuum Apostolorum 2
1 Et cum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes pariter in eodem loco:
And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one consent 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 a rushing, violent wind, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
3 Et apparuerunt illis dispertitæ linguæ tamquam ignis, seditque supra singulos eorum:
And there appeared to them tongues like fire, which distributed themselves, and sat one on each 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 Ierusalem habitantes Iudæi, viri religiosi ex omni natione, quæ sub cælo est.
Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem devout Jews, from every nation under heaven.
6 Facta autem hac voce, convenit multitudo, et mente confusa est, quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes.
When the report of this had gone abroad, the multitude came together; and they were perplexed, for each one heard them speak in his own language.
7 Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes: Nonne ecce omnes isti, qui loquuntur, Galilæi sunt,
They were amazed and astonished, and said one to another: Are not all these that are speaking, Galileans?
8 et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram, in qua nati sumus?
And how is it that we hear, every one in our own language in which we were born―
9 Parthi, et Medi, et Ælamitæ, et qui habitant Mespotamiam, Iudæam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam,
Parthians and Modes and Elamites, and we who dwell in Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygiam, et Pamphyliam, Ægyptum, et partes Libyæ, quæ est circa Cyrenen, et advenæ Romani,
Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, Roman residents, Jews and proselytes,
11 Iudæi quoque, et Proselyti, Cretes, et Arabes: audivimus eos loquentes nostris linguis magnalia Dei.
Cretes and Arabians―we hear them speaking, in our own tongues, the wonderful works of God?
12 Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur ad invicem dicentes: Quidnam vult hoc esse?
And they were all in amazement and doubt, and said, one to another: What can this mean?
13 Alii autem irridentes dicebant: Quia musto pleni sunt isti.
But others deriding, said: They are full of new wine.
14 Stans autem Petrus cum undecim levavit vocem suam, et locutus est eis: Viri Iudæi, et qui habitatis Ierusalem universi, hoc vobis notum sit, et auribus percipite verba mea.
But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them: Men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and give ear to my words.
15 Non enim, sicut vos æstimatis, hi ebrii sunt, cum sit hora diei tertia:
For these men are not drunk, as you suppose: for it is the third hour of the day.
16 sed hoc est, quod dictum est per prophetam Ioel:
But this is that which was spoken of 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 iuvenes vestri visiones videbunt, et seniores vestri somnia somniabunt.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of my Spirit on 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:
And also on my servants and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, 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 show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath, blood and fire and columns 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 that great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
21 Et erit: omnis, quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.
And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Viri Israelitæ, audite verba hæc: Iesum 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 Nazarene, clearly pointed out to you as a man from God, by mighty deeds and wonders and signs, which God did by him in your midst, as you yourselves also know,
23 hunc definito consilio, et præscientia Dei traditum, per manus iniquorum affligentes interemistis:
him, delivered up by the fixed purpose and foreknowledge of God, you took, and with wicked hands did crucify and slay:
24 quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, iuxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo. (questioned)
whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in subjection by it.
25 David enim dicit in eum: Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi ne commovear:
For David speaks with reference to him: I saw the Lord always in my presence: for he is at my right hand, that I should not be moved.
26 Propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exultavit lingua mea, insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe:
Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue sang praise. Moreover, my flesh shall rest 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, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ: et replebis me iucunditate cum facie tua.
Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 Viri fratres, liceat audenter dicere ad vos de patriarcha David quoniam defunctus est, et sepultus: et sepulchrum eius est apud nos usque in hodiernum diem.
Brethren, I may say to you plainly of the patriarch David, that he died, and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day.
30 Propheta igitur cum esset, et sciret quia iureiurando iurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi eius sedere super sedem eius:
Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that he would cause one from the fruit of his loins to sit on his throne;
31 providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi, quia neque derelictus est in inferno, neque caro eius vidit corruptionem. (Hadēs g86)
foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Hunc Iesum resuscitavit Deus, cuius omnes nos testes sumus.
This Jesus has God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
33 Dextera igitur Dei exaltatus, et promissione Spiritus sancti accepta a Patre, effudit hunc, quem vos videtis, et auditis.
Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from his Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.
34 Non enim David ascendit in cælum: dixit autem ipse: Dixit Dominus Domino meo, sede a dextris meis
For David has not ascended into the heavens; but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
35 donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
36 Certissime sciat ergo omnis domus Israel, quia et Dominum eum, et Christum fecit Deus, hunc Iesum, quem vos crucifixistis.
Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made this same Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 His autem auditis, compuncti sunt corde, et dixerunt ad Petrum, et ad reliquos Apostolos: Quid faciemus, viri fratres?
When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles: Brethren, what shall we do?
38 Petrus vero ad illos: Pœnitentiam (inquit) agite, et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Iesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum: et accipietis donum Spiritus sancti.
And Peter said to them: Repent, and be immersed, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to the remission of sins; and you shall 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 the promise is to you, and your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 Aliis etiam verbis plurimis testificatus est, et exhortabatur eos, dicens: Salvamini a generatione ista prava.
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying: Save yourselves from this wicked generation.
41 Qui ergo receperunt sermonem eius, baptizati sunt: et appositæ sunt in die illa animæ circiter tria millia.
Then they that gladly received his word were immersed, and on that day there were added to them about three thousand souls.
42 Erant autem perseverantes in doctrina Apostolorum, et communicatione fractionis panis, et orationibus.
And they attended constantly to the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of bread, and the prayers.
43 Fiebat autem omni animæ timor: multa quoque prodigia, et signa per Apostolos in Ierusalem fiebant, et metus erat magnus in universis.
And fear came on 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 in common;
45 Possessiones et substantias vendebant, et dividebant illa omnibus, prout cuique opus erat.
and they sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, as each had need.
46 Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo, et frangentes circa domos panem, sumebant cibum cum exultatione, et simplicitate cordis,
And with one consent, they continued daily in the temple; and, breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 collaudantes Deum, et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem. Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent quotidie in idipsum.
praising God, and being in favor with all the people. And the Lord added the saved daily to the Church.
