Mga Gawa 2
1 Nang sumapit ang araw ng Pentecostes, lahat sila ay sama-sama sa iisang lugar.
In the course of the Festival at the close of the Harvest the disciples had all met together,
2 Bigla na lamang may tunog mula sa langit na tila humahagibis na hangin, at napuno nito ang buong bahay kung saan sila nakaupo.
when suddenly there came from the heavens a noise like a strong wind rushing by; it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
3 Doon ay nagpakita sa kanila ang tulad ng dilang apoy na napamahagi at dumapo sa bawat isa sa kanila.
Then there appeared tongues of what seemed to be flame, separating, so that one settled on each of them;
4 Napuspos silang lahat ng Banal na Espiritu at nagsimula silang magsalita sa iba't ibang wika ayon sa ipinagkaloob ng Espiritu sa kanila na sabihin.
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit prompted their utterances.
5 Ngayon may mga Judiong naninirahan sa Jerusalem, mga maka-diyos na tao, galing sa bawat bansa sa ilalim ng langit.
Now there were then staying in Jerusalem religious Jews from every country in the world;
6 Nang marinig ang tunog na ito, nagpuntahan ang maraming tao at nalito sapagkat narinig nang lahat na nagsasalita sila sa kanilang sariling wika.
and, when this sound was heard, numbers of people collected, in the greatest excitement, because each of them heard the disciples speaking in his own language.
7 Nagtaka sila at labis na namangha; sinabi nila, “Totoo ba, hindi ba at ang lahat ng mga nagsasalitang ito ay mga taga-Galilea?
They were utterly amazed, and kept asking in astonishment, “What! Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
8 Bakit kaya naririnig natin sila, bawat isa sa ating sariling wika na ating kinalakihan?
Then how is it that we each of us hear them in our own language?
9 Mga taga- Partia, taga-Media at mga taga- Elam, at sa mga naninirahan sa Mesopotamia, sa Judea at Capadocia, sa Ponto at sa Asya,
Some of us are Parthians, some Medes, some Elamites; and some of us live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Roman Asia,
10 sa Frigia at Panfilia, sa Egipto at sa bahagi ng Libya na malapit sa Cirene at mga panauhin mula sa Roma,
in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the districts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; some of us are visitors from Rome,
11 Mga Judio at mga taong nagbago ng paniniwala, at mga taga-Creta at mga taga- Arabia, naririnig namin sila na nagsasabi ayon sa ating mga wika tungkol sa mga kamangha- manghang gawa ng Diyos.”
either Jews by birth or converts, and some are Cretans and Arabians – yet we all alike hear them speaking in our own languages of the great things that God has done.”
12 Nagtaka silang lahat at naguluhan; at sinabi nila sa isa't- isa, “Ano ang ibig sabihin nito?”
They were all utterly amazed and bewildered. “What does it mean?” they asked one another.
13 Ngunit nangutya ang iba at sinabi, “Lasing na lasing sila ng bagong alak.”
But there were some who said with a sneer, “They have had too much new wine.”
14 Ngunit tumayo si Pedro kasama ang labing isa, tinaasan niya ang kaniyang boses, at sinabi sa kanila, “Mga tao ng Judea at kayong lahat na naninirahan sa Jerusalem, dapat ninyo itong malaman; pakinggan ninyong mabuti ang aking sasabihin.
Then Peter, surrounded by the eleven other apostles, stood up, and, raising his voice, addressed the crowd. “People of Judea,” he began, “and all you who are staying in Jerusalem, let me tell you what this means. Mark well my words.
15 Sapagkat ang mga taong ito ay hindi lasing gaya ng inyong inaakala, sapagkat pangatlong oras pa lamang nang araw.
These people are not drunk, as you suppose; for it is only now nine in the morning! No!
16 Ngunit ito ang sinabi sa pamamamagitan ni propeta Joel:
This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel –
17 'Mangyayari ito sa mga huling araw,' sinabi ng Diyos, 'Ibubuhos ko ang aking Espiritu sa lahat ng tao. Magpapahayag ang inyong mga anak na lalaki at mga babae, makakakita ng mga pangitain ang inyong mga kabataang lalaki, at magkakaroon ng mga panaginip ang inyong mga matatandang lalaki.
‘It will come about in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; your sons and your daughters will become prophets, your young men will see visions, and your old men dream dreams;
18 Gayundin sa aking mga lingkod at sa aking mga lingkod na babae ibubuhos ko ang aking Espiritu sa araw na iyon, at sila ay magpapahayag.
yes, even on the slaves – for they are mine – both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit, and they will become prophets;
19 Magpapakita ako ng mga kamangha-manghang bagay mula sa langit at mga tanda dito sa lupa, dugo, apoy, at singaw ng usok.
and I will show wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth below – blood and fire and mist of smoke;
20 Magiging madilim ang araw at magiging dugo ang buwan, bago dumating ang dakila at hindi pangkaraniwang araw ng Panginoon.
the sun will become darkness, and the moon blood-red, before the day of the Lord comes – that great and awful day.
21 Iyon ay ang pagkakaligtas ng bawat isa na tatawag sa pangalan ng Panginoon.'
Then will everyone who invokes the name of the Lord be saved.’
22 Mga taga-Israel, pakinggan ninyo ang mga salitang ito: Si Jesus ng Nazaret, ang lalaking pinatunayan ng Diyos sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng mga makapangyarihang gawa at mga kamangha- manghang bagay at mga palatandaang ginawa ng Diyos sa pamamagitan niya, sa inyong kalagitnaan, katulad ng inyong nalalaman-
People of Israel, listen to what I am saying. Jesus of Nazareth, a man whose mission from God to you was proved by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God showed among you through him, as you know full well –
23 dahil sa nakatakdang plano at kaalaman ng Diyos mula sa simula pa siya ay isinuko ninyo sa mga kamay ng taong lumalabag sa batas, ipinako siya sa krus at pinatay;
he, I say, in accordance with God’s definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death.
24 binuhay ng Diyos, inalis ang mga sakit at kamatayan sa kaniya, sapagakat hindi siya maaaring pigilan nito.
But God released him from the pangs of death and raised him to life, it being impossible for death to retain its hold on him.
25 Sapagkat sinasabi ni David tungkol sa kaniya, 'Nakita kong lagi ang Panginoon sa aking harapan, sapagkat siya ay nasa aking kanang kamay upang hindi ako matinag.
Indeed he was the one David was referring to when he said – ‘I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, for he stands at my right hand, so that I should not be disquieted.
26 Samakatuwid, natuwa ang aking puso at nagalak ang aking dila. Maging ang aking laman ay mamumuhay nang may pananalig.
Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;
27 Sapagkat hindi mo pababayaan ang aking kaluluwa na mapunta sa hades, o papayagan ang iyong Nag-iisang Banal na makitang mabulok. (Hadēs g86)
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Ipinahayag mo sa akin ang mga daan ng buhay; pupunuin mo ako ng kagalakan sa iyong harapan.'
You have shown me the path to life, you will fill me with gladness in your presence.’
29 Mga kapatid, kaya kong magsalita sa inyo ng may katiyakan tungkol sa patriarkang si David: namatay siya at inilibing, at ang kaniyang libingan ay nasa atin hanggang sa ngayon.
Friends, I can speak to you the more confidently about the patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.
30 Kaya naman, siya ay isang propeta at alam niya na may sinumpaang panata ang Diyos sa kaniya, na itinalaga niya sa kaniyang kaapu-apuhan ang maupo sa kaniyang trono.
David, then, prophet as he was, knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants on his throne, looked into the future,
31 Nahulaan niya na ito at nagsalita tungkol sa pagkabuhay ni Cristo, Na hindi siya pinabayaan doon sa hades, o ang kanyang laman ay makitang mabulok.' (Hadēs g86)
and referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that he had not been abandoned to Hades, nor had his body undergone corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Ang Jesus na ito ay binuhay ng Diyos kung saan saksi kaming lahat.
It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.
33 Kaya naman pinarangalan siya sa kanang kamay ng Diyos at tinanggap ang pangako ng Banal na Espiritu mula sa Ama, ibinuhos niya ito, na inyong nakikita at naririnig.
And now that he has been exalted to the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, he has begun to pour out that gift, as you yourselves now see and hear.
34 Sapagkat si David ay hindi pumaitaas sa langit, ngunit sinabi niya, 'Sinabi ng Panginoon sa aking Panginoon, “Umupo ka sa aking kanang kamay,
It was not David who went up into heaven; for he himself says – ‘The Lord said to my master, “Sit on my right hand,
35 hanggang sa gawin kong maging tuntungan ng iyong mga paa ang iyong mga kaaway.”
Until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.”’
36 Kaya naman siguraduhing ipaalam sa lahat ng tahanan sa Israel na ginawa siya ng Diyos na parehong Panginoon at Cristo, ang Jesus na ito na ipinako ninyo sa krus.”
So let the whole nation of Israel know beyond all doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ – this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 Nang marinig nila ito, nadurog ang kanilang puso, at sinabi kay Pedro at sa iba pang mga apostol, “Mga kapatid, ano ba ang dapat naming gawin?”
When the people heard this, they were conscience-smitten, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Friends, what can we do?”
38 At sinabi ni Pedro sa kanila, “Magsisi at magpabautismo, ang bawat isa sa inyo sa pangalan ni Jesu-Cristo para sa kapatawaran ng inyong mga kasalanan, at inyong tatanggapin ang kaloob ng Banal na Espiritu.
“Repent,” answered Peter, “and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Sapagkat sa inyo ang pangako at sa inyong mga anak at sa lahat ng mga nasa malayo, at sa mga tao na tatawagin ng ating Panginoong Diyos.”
For the promise is for you and for your children, and also for all those now far away, who may be called by the Lord our God.”
40 Pinatotohanan at hinimok niya sila sa pamamagitan ng maraming mga salita; sinabi niya,” Iligtas ninyo ang inyong mga sarili mula sa mga masasamang salin-lahing ito.
Peter spoke to them for a long time using many other arguments and pleaded with them – “Save yourselves from the perverse spirit of this age.”
41 Pagkatapos tinanggap nila ang kaniyang salita at nabautismuhan, at ng araw na iyon may mga naidagdag na aabot sa tatlong libong mga kaluluwa.
So those who accepted his teaching were baptized, and about three thousand people joined the disciples on that day alone.
42 Nagpatuloy sila sa mga katuruan ng mga apostol at pagsasama-sama, sa pagpipira-piraso ng tinapay at sa pananalangin.
They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the Common life of the church, to the breaking of the bread and to the Prayers.
43 Dumating ang takot sa bawat kaluluwa, at maraming mga kamangha- manghang bagay at mga tanda ang nagawa ng mga apostol.
A deep impression was made on everyone, and many wonders and signs were done at the hands of the apostles.
44 Ang lahat ng nanampalataya ay nagsama-sama at ibinahagi ang kanilang mga ari-arian,
All who became believers in Christ held everything for the common use;
45 at ipinagbili nila ang kanilang mga pag-aari at mga ari-arian at ipinamahagi sa lahat, ayon sa pangangailangan ng bawat-isa.
they sold their property and their goods, and shared the proceeds among them all, according to their individual needs.
46 Nagpatuloy sila sa bawat araw na may iisang layunin sa templo, at nagpira-piraso sila ng tinapay sa kanilang mga tahanan, at namamahagi ng pagkain na may kagalakan at kapakumbabaan ng puso.
Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the Temple Courts, and to the breaking of bread at their homes, while they partook of their food in simple-hearted gladness, praising God, and winning the goodwill of all the people.
47 Nagpupuri sila sa Diyos at kinalugdan sila ng lahat ng mga tao. Dinagdag sa kanila ng Panginoon araw-araw ang mga naliligtas.
And the Lord daily added to their company those who were in the path of salvation.
