使徒行传 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
五旬節聖靈降臨
2 五旬節到了,他們都聚集在一起。 2 忽然有一陣好像強風吹過的響聲,從天而來,充滿了他們坐在裡面的整間屋子。 3 又有火燄般的舌頭顯現出來,分別落在他們各人身上。 4 他們都被聖靈充滿,就照著聖靈所賜給他們的口才,用別種語言說出話來。
5 那時住在耶路撒冷的,有從天下各國來的虔誠的猶太人。 6 這聲音一響,許多人都聚了來,人人都聽見門徒講出聽眾各人本鄉的話,就莫名其妙。 7 他們又驚訝、又驚奇,說:“你看,這些說話的,不都是加利利人嗎? 8 我們各人怎麼聽見他們講我們從小所用的本鄉話呢? 9 我們帕提亞人、瑪代人、以攔人和住在美索不達米亞、猶太、加帕多家、本都、亞西亞、 10 弗呂家、旁非利亞、埃及,並靠近古利奈的利比亞一帶地方的人,客居羅馬的猶太人和歸信猶太教的人, 11 克里特人以及阿拉伯人,都聽見他們用我們的語言,講說 神的大作為。” 12 眾人還在驚訝迷惘的時候,彼此說:“這是甚麼意思?” 13 另有些人譏笑說:“他們是給新酒灌醉了。”
彼得在五旬節的講道
14 彼得和十一使徒站起來,他高聲對眾人說:“猶太人和所有住在耶路撒冷的人哪,你們應當明白這件事,也應該留心聽我的話。 15 這些人並不是照你們所想的喝醉了,現在不過是上午九點鐘罷了。 16 這正是約珥先知所說的:
17 ‘ 神說:在末後的日子,
我要把我的靈澆灌所有的人,
你們的兒女要說預言,
你們的青年人要見異象,
你們的老年人要作異夢。
18 在那些日子,
我也要把我的靈澆灌我的僕人和使女,他們就要說預言。
19 我要在天上顯出奇事,
在地上顯出神蹟,
有血、有火、有煙霧;
20 太陽將變為黑暗,
月亮將變為血紅,
在主偉大顯赫的日子臨到以前,這一切都要發生。
21 那時,凡求告主名的,都必得救。’
22 “以色列人哪,請聽聽這幾句話:正如你們所知道的, 神已經藉著拿撒勒人耶穌在你們中間施行了大能、奇事、神蹟,向你們證明他是 神所立的。 23 他照著 神的定旨和預知被交了出去,你們就藉不法之徒的手,把他釘死了。 24 神卻把死的痛苦解除,使他復活了,因為他不能被死亡拘禁。 25 大衛指著他說:
‘我時常看見主在我面前,
因他在我右邊,我必不會動搖。
26 為此我的心快樂,我的口舌歡呼,
我的肉身也要安居在盼望中。
27 因你必不把我的靈魂撇在陰間,
也必不容你的聖者見朽壞。
28 你已經把生命之路指示了我,
必使我在你面前有滿足的喜樂。’
29 “弟兄們,關於祖先大衛的事,我不妨坦白告訴你們,他死了,葬了,直到今日他的墳墓還在我們這裡。 30 他是先知,既然知道 神向他起過誓,要從他的後裔中立一位,坐在他的寶座上, 31 又預先看見了這事,就講論基督的復活說:
‘他不會被撇在陰間,
他的肉身也不見朽壞。’
32 這位耶穌, 神已經使他復活了,我們都是這事的見證人。 33 他既然被高舉到 神的右邊,從父領受了所應許的聖靈,就把他澆灌下來,這就是你們所看見所聽見的。 34 大衛並沒有升到天上,他卻說:
‘主對我主說:
你坐在我的右邊,
35 等我使你的仇敵作你的腳凳。’
36 因此,以色列全家應當確實知道,你們釘在十字架上的這位耶穌, 神已經立他為主為基督了。”
37 他們聽了以後,覺得扎心,就對彼得和其餘的使徒說:“弟兄們,我們應當作甚麼呢?” 38 彼得說:“你們應當悔改,並且每一個人都要奉耶穌基督的名受洗,使你們的罪得赦,就必領受聖靈,那白白的恩典。 39 這應許原是給你們和你們的兒女,以及所有在遠方的人,就是給凡是我們主 神召來歸他的人。” 40 彼得還用許多別的話,鄭重作證,並且勸勉他們,說:“你們應當救自己脫離這彎曲的世代!” 41 於是接受他話的人都受了洗,那一天門徒增加了約三千人。 42 他們恆心遵守使徒的教訓,彼此相通、擘餅和祈禱。
信徒的團契生活
43 使徒行了許多奇事神蹟,眾人就都懼怕。 44 所有信的人都在一起,凡物公用, 45 並且變賣產業和財物,按照各人的需要分給他們。 46 他們天天同心在殿裡恆切地聚集,一家一家地擘餅,存著歡樂和誠懇的心用飯, 47 又讚美 神,並且得到全民的喜愛。主將得救的人,天天加給教會。
Acts 2
New Century Version
The Coming of the Holy Spirit
2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a noise like a strong, blowing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw something like flames of fire that were separated and stood over each person there. 4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak different languages[a] by the power the Holy Spirit was giving them.
5 There were some religious Jews staying in Jerusalem who were from every country in the world. 6 When they heard this noise, a crowd came together. They were all surprised, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7 They were completely amazed at this. They said, “Look! Aren’t all these people that we hear speaking from Galilee? 8 Then how is it possible that we each hear them in our own languages? We are from different places: 9 Parthia, Media, Elam, Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, 10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the areas of Libya near Cyrene, Rome 11 (both Jews and those who had become Jews), Crete, and Arabia. But we hear them telling in our own languages about the great things God has done!” 12 They were all amazed and confused, asking each other, “What does this mean?”
13 But others were making fun of them, saying, “They have had too much wine.”
Peter Speaks to the People
14 But Peter stood up with the eleven apostles, and in a loud voice he spoke to the crowd: “My fellow Jews, and all of you who are in Jerusalem, listen to me. Pay attention to what I have to say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you think; it is only nine o’clock in the morning! 16 But Joel the prophet wrote about what is happening here today:
17 ‘God says: In the last days
I will pour out my Spirit on all kinds of people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
18 At that time I will pour out my Spirit
also on my male slaves and female slaves,
and they will prophesy.
19 I will show miracles
in the sky and on the earth:
blood, fire, and thick smoke.
20 The sun will become dark,
the moon red as blood,
before the overwhelming and glorious day of the Lord will come.
21 Then anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved.’ Joel 2:28–32
22 “People of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus from Nazareth was a very special man. God clearly showed this to you by the miracles, wonders, and signs he did through Jesus. You all know this, because it happened right here among you. 23 Jesus was given to you, and with the help of those who don’t know the law, you put him to death by nailing him to a cross. But this was God’s plan which he had made long ago; he knew all this would happen. 24 God raised Jesus from the dead and set him free from the pain of death, because death could not hold him. 25 For David said this about him:
‘I keep the Lord before me always.
Because he is close by my side,
I will not be hurt.
26 So I am glad, and I rejoice.
Even my body has hope,
27 because you will not leave me in the grave.
You will not let your Holy One rot.
28 You will teach me how to live a holy life.
Being with you will fill me with joy.’ Psalm 16:8–11
29 “Brothers and sisters, I can tell you truly that David, our ancestor, died and was buried. His grave is still here with us today. 30 He was a prophet and knew God had promised him that he would make a person from David’s family a king just as he was.[b] 31 Knowing this before it happened, David talked about the Christ rising from the dead. He said:
‘He was not left in the grave.
His body did not rot.’
32 So Jesus is the One whom God raised from the dead. And we are all witnesses to this. 33 Jesus was lifted up to heaven and is now at God’s right side. The Father has given the Holy Spirit to Jesus as he promised. So Jesus has poured out that Spirit, and this is what you now see and hear. 34 David was not the one who was lifted up to heaven, but he said:
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit by me at my right side,
35 until I put your enemies under your control.”’[c] Psalm 110:1
36 “So, all the people of Israel should know this truly: God has made Jesus—the man you nailed to the cross—both Lord and Christ.”
37 When the people heard this, they felt guilty and asked Peter and the other apostles, “What shall we do?”
38 Peter said to them, “Change your hearts and lives and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 This promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away. It is for everyone the Lord our God calls to himself.”
40 Peter warned them with many other words. He begged them, “Save yourselves from the evil of today’s people!” 41 Then those people who accepted what Peter said were baptized. About three thousand people were added to the number of believers that day. 42 They spent their time learning the apostles’ teaching, sharing, breaking bread,[d] and praying together.
The Believers Share
43 The apostles were doing many miracles and signs, and everyone felt great respect for God. 44 All the believers were together and shared everything. 45 They would sell their land and the things they owned and then divide the money and give it to anyone who needed it. 46 The believers met together in the Temple every day. They ate together in their homes, happy to share their food with joyful hearts. 47 They praised God and were liked by all the people. Every day the Lord added those who were being saved to the group of believers.

使 徒 行 傳 2
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
圣灵的来临
2 五旬节 [a]到了,他们都聚在一个地方。 2 突然,从天上传来一个声音,好似狂风大作一般,充满了他们所在的屋子。 3 一团火舌般的烈焰出现在他们面前,然后分别落在了每个人的身上。所有的人于是都充满了圣灵, 4 并且按照圣灵赐予的能力,开始讲不同的语言。
5 那时候,来自世界各国的虔诚的犹太人住在耶路撒冷。 6 他们听到响声后,都来聚在一起。他们都很纳闷,因为当他们讲话时,每人都听到了自己的乡音。 7 他们无法理解怎么可能发生这种事情,都很吃惊,惊讶之余,他们说∶“说话的这些人难道不都是加利利人吗? 8 那么为什么每个人听到的都是他自己的语言呢? 9 其中有帕提亚人、玛代人、以拦人;还有从米所波大米、犹太、加帕多家、本都、亚西亚、 10 弗吕家、旁非利亚、埃及和古利奈附近的吕彼亚一带来的人;还有从罗马来的访问者, 11 有犹太人和皈依犹太教的人;还有克里特人以及阿拉伯人。我们听见那些人在用我们自己的母语讲述着上帝的伟迹!” 12 人们都感到十分惊奇和不解,彼此说道∶“这意味着什么呢?” 13 也有人取笑他们说∶“他们不过是喝多了!”
彼得对众人讲话
14 这时,彼得和另外十一个使徒站起身来。彼得提高了嗓门,对众人说∶“犹太同胞和所有住在耶路撒冷的人们,让我来告诉你们这是什么意思吧。请仔细听我说。 15 这些人并不像你们以为的那样是喝醉了,因为现在只是早晨九点钟, 16 但是,这情形正是先知约珥所说过的:
17 上帝说,
在最后的日子里,
我要把我的圣灵倾注给所有的人,
你们的儿女将会预言未来,
你们的年轻男子要看到异象,
你们的老年人要做出奇异的梦。
18 是的,在那些日子里,
我会把我的圣灵倾洒给我的奴仆,无论男女,
因此,他们都会预言。
19 我要在天上展示奇迹,
在地下显示迹象:有血、火以及烟雾,
20 在主的伟大、荣耀的那一天到来之前,
太阳要变得一团漆黑,
月亮会变成一片血红。
21 而所有信任主的人,都将得到拯救。 (A)
22 我的同胞以色列人,听着:拿撒勒的耶稣是一个非常特殊的人,上帝通过他在你们中间所行的奇迹、异象和神迹证实了这一点,你们都已看到了这些事情,你们自己知道这都是真实的。 23 上帝把这个人交给了你们,而你们却在恶人的帮助下,把他钉死在十字架上了。上帝知道这将会发生。这是按照他已决定的计划发生的。 24 然而,上帝却让他起死回生,把他从死亡的痛苦中解脱出来,因为他不可能受到死的束缚。 25 大卫是这样形容他的:
我总是看见主在我的面前,
他站在我的右侧,因而我不会受到困扰,
26 正因为如此,我的心充满了欢喜,
我的嘴伴着快乐说话;
我的身体也生在希望之中。
27 因为你不会把我丢弃在坟墓里,
你不会让你的圣者经历腐朽。
28 你已经告知我通向生活的道路;
与你同在,欢乐会充满我。 (B)
29 我的兄弟们,我可以确切地告诉大家,先祖大卫死了,被埋葬了。他的坟墓保留至今。 30 但是,他是一位先知,他知道上帝曾用誓言向他许诺,要把他的一个后代置于他的宝座上, 31 他看到了未来的事情,所以谈到基督复活时,他说:
‘他没有被丢弃在坟墓里,
他的身体也不会经历腐朽。’
32 上帝使这个耶稣从死里复活,我们都是这一事实的见证人。 33 耶稣被升至上帝的右侧,领受了天父许下的圣灵,并把它抛洒出去,即你们现在的所见所闻的。 34 大卫并没有到天上去,然而他却说:
‘主对我主说:
坐在我的右侧,
35 直到我把你的敌人置于你的脚下,
变成你的垫脚凳。’ (C)
36 因此,让所有的以色列人都肯定地知道,上帝让你们钉死在十字架上的这个耶稣成为主和基督了。”
37 众人听到这里,仿佛感到一把刀刺进了他们的心脏。他们对彼得和其他的使徒说∶“弟兄们,我们该怎么办呢?”
38 彼得对他们说∶“改变你们的内心与生活吧,你们中间的每一个人都应该奉耶稣基督的名义接受洗礼,使你们的罪得到宽恕。那么你们就会领受到圣灵的馈赠, 39 因为他的诺言是为了你们、你们的后代以及所有远方的人们-即所有那些受到主我们的上帝的召唤,来到他身边的人们。”
40 彼得又讲了很多话来警诫众人,然后又请求他们说∶“把你们自己从这邪恶的一代人里救出来吧!” 41 那些接受了他的信息的人们,都受了洗礼。那一天,大约有三千人增加到信徒的行列。 42 他们把时间都花在倾听他们的教导、同分享、同吃 [b]和祷告上。
信徒同分享
43 使徒们又行了很多奇事神迹,每个人的心里都生出敬畏之情。 44 信徒们呆在一起,分享他们的所有。 45 他们卖掉财物和家产,把它们分给所需要的人。 46 每天,他们都在大殿院里聚会,在家里同吃,并带着快乐与真挚的心享用, 47 他们赞美上帝,深得所有人的好感。每天主都增加人到得救的人的行列里去。
