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
Complete Jewish Bible
2 The festival of Shavu‘ot arrived, and the believers all gathered together in one place. 2 Suddenly there came a sound from the sky like the roar of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire, which separated and came to rest on each one of them. 4 They were all filled with the Ruach HaKodesh and began to talk in different languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.
5 Now there were staying in Yerushalayim religious Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd gathered; they were confused, because each one heard the believers speaking in his own language. 7 Totally amazed, they asked, “How is this possible? Aren’t all these people who are speaking from the Galil? 8 How is it that we hear them speaking in our native languages? 9 We are Parthians, Medes, Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Y’hudah, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, 10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome; 11 Jews by birth and proselytes; Jews from Crete and from Arabia. . . ! How is it that we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great things God has done?” 12 Amazed and confused, they all went on asking each other, “What can this mean?” 13 But others made fun of them and said, “They’ve just had too much wine!”
14 Then Kefa stood up with the Eleven and raised his voice to address them: “You Judeans, and all of you staying here in Yerushalayim! Let me tell you what this means! Listen carefully to me!
15 “These people ar en’t drunk, as you suppose — it’s only nine in the morning. 16 No, this is what was spoken about through the prophet Yo’el:
17 ‘Adonai says:
“In the Last Days,
I will pour out from my Spirit upon everyone.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my slaves, both men and women,
will I pour out from my Spirit in those days;
and they will prophesy.
19 I will perform miracles in the sky above
and signs on the earth below —
blood, fire and thick smoke.
20 The sun will become dark
and the moon blood
before the great and fearful Day of Adonai comes.
21 And then, whoever calls on the name of Adonai will be saved.”’[a]
22 “Men of Isra’el! Listen to this! Yeshua from Natzeret was a man demonstrated to you to have been from God by the powerful works, miracles and signs that God performed through him in your presence. You yourselves know this. 23 This man was arrested in accordance with God’s predetermined plan and foreknowledge; and, through the agency of persons not bound by the Torah, you nailed him up on a stake and killed him!
24 “But God has raised him up and freed him from the suffering of death; it was impossible that death could keep its hold on him. 25 For David says this about him:
‘I saw Adonai always before me,
for he is at my right hand,
so that I will not be shaken.
26 For this reason, my heart was glad;
and my tongue rejoiced;
and now my body too will live on in the certain hope
27 that you will not abandon me to Sh’ol
or let your Holy One see decay.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
you will fill me with joy by your presence.’[b]
29 “Brothers, I know I can say to you frankly that the patriarch David died and was buried — his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, since he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn an oath to him that one of his descendants would sit on his throne, 31 he was speaking in advance about the resurrection of the Messiah, that it was he who was not abandoned in Sh’ol and whose flesh did not see decay. 32 God raised up this Yeshua! And we are all witnesses of it!
33 “Moreover, he has been exalted to the right hand of God; has received from the Father what he promised, namely, the Ruach HaKodesh; and has poured out this gift, which you are both seeing and hearing. 34 For David did not ascend into heaven. But he says,
35 ‘Adonai said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’[c]
36 Therefore, let the whole house of Isra’el know beyond doubt that God has made him both Lord and Messiah — this Yeshua, whom you executed on a stake!”
37 On hearing this, they were stung in their hearts; and they said to Kefa and the other emissaries, “Brothers, what should we do?” 38 Kefa answered them, “Turn from sin, return to God, and each of you be immersed on the authority of Yeshua the Messiah into forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh! 39 For the promise is for you, for your children, and for those far away — as many as Adonai our God may call!”
40 He pressed his case with many other arguments and kept pleading with them, “Save yourselves from this perverse generation!”
41 So those who accepted what he said were immersed, and there were added to the group that day about three thousand people.
42 They continued faithfully in the teaching of the emissaries, in fellowship, in breaking bread and in the prayers. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many miracles and signs took place through the emissaries. 44 All those trusting in Yeshua stayed together and had everything in common; 45 in fact, they sold their property and possessions and distributed the proceeds to all who were in need. 46 Continuing faithfully and with singleness of purpose to meet in the Temple courts daily, and breaking bread in their several homes, they shared their food in joy and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having the respect of all the people. And day after day the Lord kept adding to them those who were being saved.
