Dzieje 2
1 A gdy nadszedł dzień Pięćdziesiątnicy, wszyscy byli jednomyślnie na tym samym miejscu.
On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
2 Nagle powstał odgłos z nieba, jakby uderzenie gwałtownego wiatru, i wypełnił cały dom, w którym siedzieli.
Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
3 Ukazały się im rozdzielone języki jakby z ognia, które spoczęły na każdym z nich.
Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
4 I wszyscy zostali napełnieni Duchem Świętym, i zaczęli mówić innymi językami, tak jak im Duch pozwalał mówić.
Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
5 A przebywali w Jerozolimie Żydzi, mężczyźni pobożni, ze wszystkich narodów pod niebem.
At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
6 A kiedy powstał ten szum, zeszło się mnóstwo [ludzi] i zdumieli się, bo każdy z nich słyszał ich mówiących [w jego] własnym języku.
When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
7 I pytali się nawzajem zdziwieni i pełni zdumienia: Czy ci wszyscy, którzy mówią, nie są Galilejczykami?
They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
8 Jak to jest, że każdy z nas słyszy swój własny język ojczysty?
([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
9 Partowie, Medowie, Elamici i ci, którzy mieszkają w Mezopotamii, Judei, Kapadocji, w Poncie i Azji;
[Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
10 We Frygii, w Pamfilii, Egipcie i w częściach Libii, które leżą obok Cyreny, a także przybysze z Rzymu, [zarówno] Żydzi, [jak] i prozelici;
There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
11 Kreteńczycy i Arabowie – słyszymy ich głoszących w naszych językach wielkie dzieła Boże.
[They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
12 I zdumiewali się wszyscy, i dziwili, mówiąc jeden do drugiego: Co to ma znaczyć?
All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Lecz inni naśmiewali się i mówili: Upili się młodym winem.
But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
14 Wtedy stanął Piotr z jedenastoma, podniósł swój głos i przemówił do nich: Mężowie z Judei i wszyscy, którzy mieszkacie w Jerozolimie, przyjmijcie do wiadomości i posłuchajcie uważnie moich słów.
So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
15 Oni bowiem nie są pijani, jak sądzicie, bo jest dopiero trzecia godzina dnia.
[Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
16 Ale to jest to, co zostało przepowiedziane przez proroka Joela:
Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
17 I stanie się w ostatecznych dniach – mówi Bóg – że wyleję z mego Ducha na wszelkie ciało i będą prorokować wasi synowie i córki, wasi młodzieńcy będą mieć widzenia, a starcy będą śnić sny.
‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
18 Nawet na moje sługi i służebnice wyleję w tych dniach z mego Ducha i będą prorokować.
During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
19 I ukażę cuda na niebie w górze i znaki na ziemi na dole, krew, ogień i kłęby dymu.
I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
20 Słońce zamieni się w ciemność, a księżyc w krew, zanim nadejdzie ten dzień Pański, wielki i okazały.
[In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
21 I stanie się, [że] każdy, kto wezwie imienia Pana, będzie zbawiony.
[Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
22 Mężowie izraelscy, słuchajcie tych słów: Jezusa z Nazaretu, męża potwierdzonego przez Boga wśród was mocami, cudami i znakami, których Bóg dokonał przez niego wśród was, o czym sami wiecie;
[Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
23 Wydanego zgodnie z powziętym postanowieniem Boga oraz tym, co przedtem wiedział, wzięliście i rękami bezbożników ukrzyżowaliście i zabiliście.
[Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
24 Jego to Bóg wskrzesił, uwolniwszy od boleści śmierci, bo było niemożliwe, aby ta mogła go zatrzymać.
He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
25 Dawid bowiem mówi o nim: Patrzyłem na Pana zawsze przed moim obliczem, bo jest po [mojej] prawicy, żebym się nie zachwiał.
“[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
26 Dlatego rozweseliło się moje serce i rozradował się mój język, a także moje ciało będzie spoczywać w nadziei.
Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
27 Nie zostawisz bowiem mojej duszy w piekle i nie dasz swojemu Świętemu doznać zniszczenia. (Hadēs g86)
You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
28 Dałeś mi poznać drogi życia, a twoje oblicze napełni mnie radością.
You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
29 Mężowie bracia, mogę swobodnie mówić do was o patriarsze Dawidzie, że umarł i został pogrzebany, a jego grobowiec znajduje się u nas aż do dziś.
[Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
30 Będąc więc prorokiem i wiedząc, że Bóg zaręczył mu przysięgą, [iż] z owocu jego bioder, według ciała, wzbudzi Chrystusa i posadzi na jego tronie;
So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
31 Przepowiadał [to] i mówił o zmartwychwstaniu Chrystusa, że jego dusza nie pozostanie w piekle, a jego ciało nie dozna zniszczenia. (Hadēs g86)
David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
32 Tego to Jezusa wskrzesił Bóg, czego my wszyscy jesteśmy świadkami.
“[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
33 [Będąc] więc wywyższony prawicą Boga, otrzymał od Ojca obietnicę Ducha Świętego i wylał to, co wy teraz widzicie i słyszycie.
God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
34 Dawid bowiem nie wstąpił do nieba, a jednak sam mówi: Powiedział Pan memu Panu: Siądź po mojej prawicy;
[We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
35 Aż położę twoich nieprzyjaciół jako podnóżek pod twoje stopy.
while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
36 Niech więc cały dom Izraela wie z pewnością, że tego Jezusa, którego wy ukrzyżowaliście, Bóg uczynił i Panem, i Chrystusem.
[Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
37 A słysząc to, przerazili się do [głębi] serca i zapytali Piotra i pozostałych apostołów: Co mamy robić, mężowie bracia?
When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
38 Wtedy Piotr powiedział do nich: Pokutujcie i niech każdy z was ochrzci się w imię Jezusa Chrystusa na przebaczenie grzechów, a otrzymacie dar Ducha Świętego.
Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
39 Obietnica ta bowiem dotyczy was, waszych dzieci i wszystkich, którzy są daleko, każdego, kogo powoła Pan, nasz Bóg.
[God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
40 W wielu też innych słowach dawał świadectwo i napominał ich: Ratujcie się od tego przewrotnego pokolenia.
Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
41 Ci więc, którzy chętnie przyjęli jego słowa, zostali ochrzczeni. I przyłączyło się tego dnia około trzech tysięcy dusz.
So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
42 Trwali oni w nauce apostołów, w społeczności, w łamaniu chleba i w modlitwach.
They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
43 I strach ogarnął każdą duszę, gdyż wiele znaków i cudów działo się przez apostołów.
All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
44 A wszyscy, którzy uwierzyli, byli razem i wszystko mieli wspólne.
All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
45 Sprzedawali posiadłości i dobra i rozdzielali je wszystkim według potrzeb.
[From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
46 Każdego dnia trwali zgodnie w świątyni, a łamiąc chleb po domach, przyjmowali pokarm z radością i w prostocie serca;
Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
47 Chwaląc Boga i ciesząc się przychylnością wszystkich ludzi. A Pan dodawał kościołowi każdego dnia tych, którzy mieli być zbawieni.
[As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
