使徒行传 2
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
五旬节圣灵降临
2 到了五旬节那天，他们都聚集[a]在一起[b]。 2 突然，有响声从天上下来，好像狂风吹过，充满了他们所坐的整个房子， 3 有舌头像火焰那样，向他们显现，分开留[c]在他们每一个人身上。 4 于是他们都被圣灵充满，就照着圣灵赐给他们的话，开始说出别种语言[d]。
5 当时，有从天下各国来的虔诚的犹太人，住在耶路撒冷。 6 这声音一响，有一群人就聚集而来，非常慌乱，因为各个人都听见使徒们[e]用各个人本地的语言说话。 7 他们又惊讶又诧异，说[f]：“看，这些说话的不都是加利利人吗？ 8 我们怎么会听到我们各自出生地的语言呢？ 9 我们当中有帕提亚人、米底亚人、埃拦人；也有住在美索不达米亚、犹太和卡帕多细亚、本都和亚细亚、 10 弗里吉亚和潘菲利亚、埃及和靠近古利奈的利比亚地区的人；还有从罗马来的旅客， 11 包括犹太人和入犹太教的人；克里特人和阿拉伯人。我们都听见他们用我们的语言述说神伟大的作为！” 12 众人又惊讶又困惑，彼此问：“这是什么意思呢？” 13 可是另有些人嘲笑说：“他们被新酒灌醉了！”
彼得讲道
14 这时，彼得和其他十一个使徒一同站起来，高声对众人说：“各位犹太人和所有住在耶路撒冷的人哪，你们应当知道这件事，也应当仔细听我的话， 15 因为这些人不是像你们所想的那样喝醉了，要知道，现在不过是早上九点[g]。 16 其实这是先知约珥所说的：
17 ‘神说，在末后的那些日子里将是这样：
我要把我的灵倾注在所有人身[h]上，
你们的儿女要说预言[i]，
你们的年轻人要见异象，
你们的老年人要做异梦。
18 是的，在那些日子里，
我也要将我的灵倾注
在我的奴仆和婢女们身上，
他们就要说预言。
19 在天上我要显奇事；
在地上我要行神迹——
有血、有火、有烟雾。
20 在主那大而显赫的日子来到之前，
太阳要变为黑暗，
月亮要变为血。
21 那时候，无论谁求告主名，都将得救。’[j]
22 “各位以色列人哪，请听这些话：拿撒勒人耶稣是神向你们所证实的人；神藉着他在你们中间行了大能、神迹和奇事，正如你们自己所知道的。 23 这一位照着神设定的计划和先见被交出去；你们就藉着外邦人的手[k]，把他钉上十字架杀了。 24 神却解除了死亡的痛苦，使他复活，因为他本来就不能被死亡辖制。 25 事实上，大卫指着他说：
‘我常常看见主在我面前；
因他在我的右边，
我就不至于摇动。
26 为此我内心欢喜，
口舌快乐，
并且我的肉身也要安居在盼望中。
27 因为你不会把我的灵魂撇弃在阴间，
也不会让你的圣者经历腐朽。
28 你让我明白了生命之道[l]，
使我在你面前充满喜乐。’[m]
29 “各位兄弟，关于先祖大卫，我可以明确地告诉你们：他不但死了，也被埋葬了，而且他的坟墓到今天还在我们这里。 30 既然大卫是先知，也知道神曾向他起誓说，要从他的后裔中兴起一位[n]坐在他的宝座上， 31 大卫又预先看见了，就讲论基督复活的事，说：
32 “这位耶稣，神已经使他复活了。我们都是这事的见证人。 33 他被高举在神的右边，从父领受了所应许的圣灵，就将圣灵倾注了下来。这正是你们现在所看见所听见的。 34 大卫并没有升到诸天之上去，可是他说，
‘主对我主说：
你坐在我的右边，
35 等我把你的敌人放在你的脚下做脚凳。’[q]
36 “因此，以色列全家都当确实知道：被你们钉上十字架的这位耶稣，神已经委任他为主、为基督了。”
奉主的名得赦免
37 众人听了这话，觉得扎心，就对彼得和其他的使徒说：“各位兄弟，我们该做什么呢？”
38 彼得对他们说：“你们应当悔改，每个人都当奉耶稣基督的名受洗[r]，使你们的罪得赦免，就会领受所赐的圣灵。 39 因为这应许是给你们和你们的儿女，以及所有在远处的人，就是主我们的神所召来的人。” 40 彼得还说许多别的话郑重地做见证，又劝告他们说：“你们从这扭曲的[s]世代中得救吧！”
信徒们共同生活
41 于是[t]领受他话的人就受了洗；那一天大约增加了三千人[u]。 42 他们在使徒们的教导上，在契合[v]、掰饼、祷告之事上恒切专心。
43 每个人[w]都起了敬畏之心。使徒们又行了很多奇事和神迹[x]。 44 所有信了的人都在一起，凡物共有， 45 他们变卖财产和产业，按照各人的需要分给大家。 46 他们同心合意，不但天天恒切地在圣殿聚集[y]，还在各家各户掰饼。他们怀着喜乐和诚恳的心用饭， 47 赞美神，并且得到全体民众的喜爱。主就在那里[z]使得救的人与日俱增[aa]。

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.
