Acts 2
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
2 And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue.
7 And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these, that speak, Galileans?
8 And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome,
11 Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another: What meaneth this?
13 But others mocking, said: These men are full of new wine.
14 But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day:
16 But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel:
17 And it shall come to pass, in the last days, (saith the Lord,) I will pour out 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 And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord come.
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know:
23 This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.
25 For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.
26 For this my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.
30 Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.
31 Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.
33 Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.
34 For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.
37 Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?
38 But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
41 They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
42 And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all.
44 And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common.
45 Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.
46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart;
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved.
Acts 2
King James Version
2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out 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 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Apostlagärningarna 2
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
Anden utgjuts på pingstdagen
2 (A) När pingstdagen[a] kom var de alla samlade. 2 (B) Då hördes plötsligt från himlen ett dån som när en våldsam storm drar fram, och det fyllde hela huset där de satt. 3 (C) Tungor som av eld visade sig för dem och fördelade sig och satte sig på var och en av dem. 4 (D) Alla uppfylldes av den helige Ande och började tala främmande språk, allteftersom Anden ingav dem att tala.
5 I Jerusalem bodde fromma judiska män från alla folk under himlen. 6 När dånet hördes samlades folkskaran, och alla var skakade eftersom var och en hörde sitt eget språk talas. 7 Häpna och förundrade frågade de: "Är de inte galileer, alla de som talar? 8 Hur kan då var och en av oss höra sitt eget modersmål? 9 Vi är parter, meder och elamiter, vi bor i Mesopotamien, Judeen och Kappadokien, i Pontus och Asien[b], 10 i Frygien och Pamfylien, i Egypten och i trakterna kring Kyrene i Libyen, vi är inflyttade från Rom, 11 vi är judar och proselyter[c], kretensare och araber – ändå hör vi dem tala på våra egna språk om Guds väldiga gärningar!" 12 De var alla häpna och förvirrade och frågade varandra: "Vad kan det här betyda?"
13 Men andra sade hånfullt: "De har druckit sig fulla på sött vin."
Petrus pingstpredikan
14 Då steg Petrus fram tillsammans med de elva, höjde sin röst och talade till dem: "Judiska män och Jerusalems alla invånare! Detta ska ni veta, lyssna till mina ord: 15 Det är inte som ni tror att de är berusade. Det är ju bara tredje timmen [d]på morgonen! 16 (E) Nej, det är detta som är sagt genom profeten Joel:
17 (F) Och det ska ske i de sista dagarna,[e]
säger Gud,
att jag utgjuter av min Ande
över allt kött.
Era söner och era döttrar ska profetera,
era unga ska se syner
och era gamla ska ha drömmar.
18 Ja, över mina tjänare och tjänarinnor
ska jag i de dagarna
utgjuta av min Ande,
och de ska profetera.
19 Och jag ska göra under uppe på himlen
och tecken nere på jorden,
blod, eld och moln av rök.
20 (G) Solen ska vändas i mörker
och månen i blod
innan Herrens dag kommer,
den stora och strålande.
21 (H) Och det ska ske att var och en
som åkallar Herrens namn
ska bli frälst.
22 (I) Israeliter, hör dessa ord: Jesus från Nasaret var en man som blev erkänd av Gud inför er genom kraftgärningar, under och tecken. Genom honom gjorde Gud detta mitt ibland er, som ni själva vet. 23 (J) Efter Guds bestämda plan och beslut blev han utlämnad, och med hjälp av de laglösa[f] spikade ni upp honom och dödade honom. 24 Men Gud har uppväckt honom och löst honom ur dödens vånda, eftersom det inte var möjligt för döden att behålla honom. 25 David säger om honom:[g]
Jag har alltid Herren för ögonen.
Han är vid min högra sida
för att jag inte ska vackla.
26 Därför gläds mitt hjärta
och jublar min tunga.
Även min kropp
får vila i trygghet
27 (K) att du inte lämnar min själ åt dödsriket
eller låter din Helige se förgängelsen.
28 Du har visat mig livets vägar,
du ska mätta mig med glädje
inför ditt ansikte.
29 (L) Bröder, jag kan öppet säga er att vår stamfar David är både död och begraven. Hans grav finns här hos oss än i dag. 30 (M) Men han var profet och visste att Gud med ed hade lovat att sätta en av hans ättlingar på hans tron.[h] 31 I förväg såg han Messias uppståndelse och sade: Han ska inte lämnas åt dödsriket, och hans kropp ska inte se förgängelsen.[i]
32 (N) Denne Jesus har Gud uppväckt, och vi är alla vittnen till det. 33 (O) Han har blivit upphöjd till Guds högra sida[j] och fått den utlovade helige Ande av Fadern, och han har utgjutit det som ni ser och hör. 34 David har ju inte stigit upp till himlen, men han säger:[k]
Herren sade till min Herre:
Sätt dig på min högra sida
35 tills jag lagt dina fiender
som en pall under dina fötter.[l]
36 Därför kan hela Israels folk veta säkert att denne Jesus som ni korsfäste, honom har Gud gjort till både Herre och Messias."
37 (P) När de hörde detta högg det till i hjärtat på dem, och de frågade Petrus och de andra apostlarna: "Bröder, vad ska vi göra?" 38 (Q) Petrus svarade dem: "Omvänd er och låt er alla döpas i Jesu Kristi namn, så att era synder blir förlåtna. Då får ni den helige Ande som gåva. 39 (R) Löftet gäller er och era barn och alla dem som är långt borta, alla som Herren vår Gud kallar."
40 (S) Med många andra ord vittnade han och vädjade till dem: "Låt er frälsas från det här bortvända släktet!" 41 (T) De som tog emot hans ord döptes, och antalet lärjungar ökade den dagen med omkring tre tusen.
De troendes gemenskap
42 (U) De höll troget fast vid apostlarnas undervisning[m] och vid gemenskapen[n], brödsbrytelsen och bönerna. 43 Varje själ greps av bävan, och många under och tecken gjordes genom apostlarna. 44 (V) Alla de troende var tillsammans och hade allt gemensamt. 45 (W) De började sälja sina egendomar och ägodelar och delade ut till alla efter vars och ens behov. 46 Varje dag var de troget och enigt tillsammans i templet, och i hemmen bröt de bröd och delade måltid med varandra i jublande, innerlig glädje. 47 (X) De prisade Gud och var omtyckta av hela folket. Och Herren ökade var dag skaran med dem som blev frälsta.
