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
GOD’S WORD Translation
The Believers Are Filled with the Holy Spirit
2 When Pentecost, the fiftieth day after Passover, came, all the believers were together in one place. 2 Suddenly, a sound like a violently blowing wind came from the sky and filled the whole house where they were staying. 3 Tongues that looked like fire appeared to them. The tongues arranged themselves so that one came to rest on each believer. 4 All the believers were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
5 Devout Jewish men from every nation were living in Jerusalem. 6 They gathered when they heard the wind. Each person was startled to recognize his own dialect when the disciples spoke.
7 Stunned and amazed, the people in the crowd said, “All of these men who are speaking are Galileans. 8 Why do we hear them speaking in our native dialects? 9 We’re Parthians, Medes, and Elamites. We’re people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, the province of Asia, 10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the country near Cyrene in Libya. We’re Jewish people, converts to Judaism, and visitors from Rome, 11 Crete, and Arabia. We hear these men in our own languages as they tell about the miracles that God has done.”
12 All of these devout men were stunned and puzzled. They asked each other, “What can this mean?” 13 Others said jokingly, “They’re drunk on sweet wine.”
Peter Talks to the Crowd
14 Then Peter stood up with the eleven apostles. In a loud voice he said to them, “Men of Judea and everyone living in Jerusalem! You must understand this, so pay attention to what I say. 15 These men are not drunk as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning. 16 Rather, this is what the prophet Joel spoke about:
17 ‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour my Spirit on everyone.
Your sons and daughters will speak what God has revealed.
Your young men will see visions.
Your old men will dream dreams.
18 In those days
I will pour my Spirit on my servants, on both men and women.
They will speak what God has revealed.
19 I will work miracles in the sky and give signs on the earth:
blood, fire, and clouds of smoke.
20 The sun will become dark,
and the moon will become as red as blood
before the terrifying day of the Lord comes.
21 Then whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 “Men of Israel, listen to what I say: Jesus from Nazareth was a man whom God brought to your attention. You know that through this man God worked miracles, did amazing things, and gave signs. 23 By using men who don’t acknowledge Moses’ Teachings, you crucified Jesus, who was given over ⌞to death⌟ by a plan that God had determined in advance. 24 But God brought him from death back to life and destroyed the pains of death, because death had no power to hold him. 25 This is what David meant when he said about Jesus:
‘I always see the Lord in front of me.
I cannot be moved because he is by my side.
26 That is why my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices.
My body also rests securely
27 because you do not abandon my soul to the grave
or allow your holy one to decay.
28 You make the path of life known to me.
In your presence there is complete joy.’
29 “Brothers, I can tell you confidently that our ancestor David died and was buried and that his tomb is here to this day. 30 David was a prophet and knew that God had promised with an oath that he would place one of David’s descendants on his throne. 31 David knew that the Messiah would come back to life, and he spoke about that before it ever happened. He said that the Messiah wouldn’t be left in the grave and that his body wouldn’t decay.
32 “God brought this man Jesus back to life. We are all witnesses to that. 33 God the Father used his power to give Jesus the honored position—the one next to him on the heavenly throne. Jesus has also received and has poured out the Holy Spirit as the Father had promised, and this is what you’re seeing and hearing. 34 David didn’t go up to heaven, but he said,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Take the honored position—the one next to me [God the Father] on the heavenly throne—
35 until I put your enemies under your control.” ’
36 “All the people of Israel should know beyond a doubt that God made Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 When the people heard this, they were deeply upset. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38 Peter answered them, “All of you must turn to God and change the way you think and act, and each of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins will be forgiven. Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift. 39 This promise belongs to you and to your children and to everyone who is far away. It belongs to everyone who worships the Lord our God.”
40 Peter said much more to warn them. He urged, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 Those who accepted what Peter said were baptized. That day about 3,000 people were added ⌞to the group⌟.
Life as a Christian
42 The disciples were devoted to the teachings of the apostles, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. 43 A feeling of fear came over everyone as many amazing things and miraculous signs happened through the apostles. 44 All the believers kept meeting together, and they shared everything with each other. 45 From time to time, they sold their property and other possessions and distributed the money to anyone who needed it. 46 The believers had a single purpose and went to the temple every day. They were joyful and humble as they ate at each other’s homes and shared their food. 47 At the same time, they praised God and had the good will of all the people. Every day the Lord saved people, and they were added to the group.
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.
