使徒行传 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
圣灵降临
2 五旬节那天,门徒聚集在一起。 2 忽然,天上发出一阵响声,好像狂风呼啸而过,充满了他们所在的房子, 3 又有火焰般的舌头显现出来,分别落在各人的头上。 4 大家都被圣灵充满,得到圣灵所赐的才能,说起别的语言来。
5 当时耶路撒冷住着从各国回来的虔诚的犹太人。 6 众人听见这阵响声便赶过来,听见门徒在说他们各自的语言,都十分纳闷, 7 惊诧地说:“看啊!这些说话的不都是加利利人吗? 8 怎么会说我们各自的语言呢? 9 我们这里有帕提亚人、玛代人、以拦人,以及住在美索不达米亚、犹太、加帕多迦、本都、亚细亚、 10 弗吕迦、旁非利亚、埃及和靠近古利奈的利比亚的人,还有从罗马来的犹太人和改信犹太教的人、 11 克里特人和阿拉伯人。我们都听见他们在用我们各自的语言诉说上帝的伟大!” 12 他们都大感惊奇和困惑,彼此议论说:“这到底是怎么回事?”
13 有些人就讥笑说:“他们不过是被新酒灌醉了!”
彼得讲道
14 彼得和其他十一位使徒都站起来,他大声对众人说:“各位犹太同胞和住在耶路撒冷的人啊,请留心听!我告诉你们这是怎么回事。 15 你们以为这些人是醉了,其实不是,因为现在才早上九点钟。 16 你们眼前看见的正是先知约珥所说的,
17 “‘上帝说,在末后的日子,
我要将我的灵浇灌所有的人,
你们的儿女要说预言,
青年要见异象,
老人要做异梦。
18 那时,我要将我的灵浇灌我的奴仆和婢女,
他们都要说预言。
19 在天上,我要显异兆;
在地上,我要行神迹,有血、有火、有浓烟。
20 太阳要变得昏暗,
月亮要变得血红。
这都要发生在主伟大荣耀的日子来临以前。
21 那时,凡求告主名的,都必得救。’
22 “各位以色列人啊,请留心听。上帝借着拿撒勒人耶稣在你们中间行了异能、奇事和神迹,以证明拿撒勒人耶稣是祂派来的。这是你们都知道的。 23 上帝照着自己的计划和预知把耶稣交在你们手里,你们借着邪恶之人的手把祂钉死在十字架上了。 24 但上帝为祂解除了死亡的痛苦,使祂从死里复活,因为祂不可能被死亡拘禁。 25 论到耶稣,大卫曾说,
“‘我看见主常在我面前,
祂在我右边,我必不动摇。
26 因此我的心欢喜,我的口颂赞,
我的身体也要活在盼望中。
27 因为你不会把我的灵魂撇在阴间,
也不会让你的圣者身体朽坏。
28 你已把生命之路指示我,
叫我在你面前充满喜乐。’
29 “弟兄们,我肯定地对你们说,先祖大卫死了,埋葬了,他的坟墓至今还在这里。 30 大卫是先知,知道上帝曾起誓要从他的后裔中选立一人继承他的王位。 31 他预先知道这事,讲到基督的复活,说,‘祂的灵魂不会被撇在阴间,祂的身体也不会朽坏’。 32 上帝已经使这位耶稣复活了!我们都是这件事的见证人。 33 现在祂升到上帝的右边,从天父领受了所应许的圣灵,并将圣灵浇灌下来,你们今天也耳闻目睹了。 34 大卫并没有升到天上,但他曾说,
“‘主对我主说,
你坐在我的右边,
35 等我使你的仇敌成为你的脚凳。’
36 “所以,全体以色列人啊!你们应当确实地知道,上帝已经立这位被你们钉在十字架上的耶稣为主,为基督了。”
37 他们听了彼得的话,觉得扎心,就对彼得和其他使徒说:“弟兄们,我们该怎么办呢?” 38 彼得说:“你们每一个人都要悔改,奉耶稣基督的名受洗,使你们的罪得到赦免,你们就必领受上帝所赐的圣灵。 39 因为这应许是给你们和你们的儿女,以及远方的人,就是所有被主——我们的上帝呼召的人。”
40 然后,彼得还讲了许多话警戒、劝勉他们,说:“你们要保守自己脱离这邪恶的世代。”
41 结果,那天约有三千人相信了他传的道,接受了洗礼。 42 他们都一心遵守使徒的教导,一起团契、掰饼、祷告。
43 大家都满心敬畏上帝。使徒又行了很多神迹奇事。 44 信徒聚在一起,共用所有的东西。 45 他们把田产家业变卖了,按照各人的需要把钱分给大家。 46 他们天天同心合意地聚集在圣殿里敬拜上帝,又在各人家中掰饼聚会,以欢喜、慷慨的心分享食物, 47 赞美上帝,受到众人的喜爱。主使得救的人数与日俱增。

Acts 2
Good News Translation
The Coming of the Holy Spirit
2 (A)When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers were gathered together in one place. 2 Suddenly there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a strong wind blowing, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread out and touched each person there. 4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.
5 There were Jews living in Jerusalem, religious people who had come from every country in the world. 6 When they heard this noise, a large crowd gathered. They were all excited, because all of them heard the believers talking in their own languages. 7 In amazement and wonder they exclaimed, “These people who are talking like this are Galileans! 8 How is it, then, that all of us hear them speaking in our own native languages? 9 We are from Parthia, Media, and Elam; from Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia; from Pontus and Asia, 10 from Phrygia and Pamphylia, from Egypt and the regions of Libya near Cyrene. Some of us are from Rome, 11 both Jews and Gentiles converted to Judaism, and some of us are from Crete and Arabia—yet all of us hear them speaking in our own languages about the great things that God has done!” 12 Amazed and confused, they kept asking each other, “What does this mean?”
13 But others made fun of the believers, saying, “These people are drunk!”
Peter's Message
14 Then Peter stood up with the other eleven apostles and in a loud voice began to speak to the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, listen to me and let me tell you what this means. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose; it is only nine o'clock in the morning. 16 Instead, this is what the prophet Joel spoke about:
17 (B)‘This is what I will do in the last days, God says:
I will pour out my Spirit on everyone.
Your sons and daughters will proclaim my message;
your young men will see visions,
and your old men will have dreams.
18 Yes, even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will proclaim my message.
19 I will perform miracles in the sky above
and wonders on the earth below.
There will be blood, fire, and thick smoke;
20 the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will turn red as blood,
before the great and glorious Day of the Lord comes.
21 And then, whoever calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.’
22 “Listen to these words, fellow Israelites! Jesus of Nazareth was a man whose divine authority was clearly proven to you by all the miracles and wonders which God performed through him. You yourselves know this, for it happened here among you. 23 (C)In accordance with his own plan God had already decided that Jesus would be handed over to you; and you killed him by letting sinful men crucify him. 24 (D)But God raised him from death, setting him free from its power, because it was impossible that death should hold him prisoner. 25 (E)For David said about him,
‘I saw the Lord before me at all times;
he is near me, and I will not be troubled.
26 And so I am filled with gladness,
and my words are full of joy.
And I, mortal though I am,
will rest assured in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me in the world of the dead;
you will not allow your faithful servant to rot in the grave.
28 You have shown me the paths that lead to life,
and your presence will fill me with joy.’
29 “My friends, I must speak to you plainly about our famous ancestor King David. He died and was buried, and his grave is here with us to this very day. 30 (F)He was a prophet, and he knew what God had promised him: God had made a vow that he would make one of David's descendants a king, just as David was. 31 David saw what God was going to do in the future, and so he spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah when he said,
‘He was not abandoned in the world of the dead;
his body did not rot in the grave.’
32 God has raised this very Jesus from death, and we are all witnesses to this fact. 33 He has been raised to the right side of God, his Father, and has received from him the Holy Spirit, as he had promised. What you now see and hear is his gift that he has poured out on us. 34 (G)For it was not David who went up into heaven; rather he said,
‘The Lord said to my Lord:
Sit here at my right side
35 until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.’
36 “All the people of Israel, then, are to know for sure that this Jesus, whom you crucified, is the one that God has made Lord and Messiah!”
37 When the people heard this, they were deeply troubled and said to Peter and the other apostles, “What shall we do, brothers?”
38 Peter said to them, “Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit. 39 For God's promise was made to you and your children, and to all who are far away—all whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
40 Peter made his appeal to them and with many other words he urged them, saying, “Save yourselves from the punishment coming on this wicked people!” 41 Many of them believed his message and were baptized, and about three thousand people were added to the group that day. 42 They spent their time in learning from the apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and sharing in the fellowship meals and the prayers.
Life among the Believers
43 Many miracles and wonders were being done through the apostles, and everyone was filled with awe. 44 (H)All the believers continued together in close fellowship and shared their belongings with one another. 45 They would sell their property and possessions, and distribute the money among all, according to what each one needed. 46 Day after day they met as a group in the Temple, and they had their meals together in their homes, eating with glad and humble hearts, 47 praising God, and enjoying the good will of all the people. And every day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved.
