使徒行传 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
圣灵降临
2 五旬节那天，门徒聚集在一起。 2 忽然，天上发出一阵响声，好像狂风呼啸而过，充满了他们所在的房子， 3 又有火焰般的舌头显现出来，分别落在各人的头上。 4 大家都被圣灵充满，得到圣灵所赐的才能，说起别的语言来。
5 当时耶路撒冷住着从各国回来的虔诚的犹太人。 6 众人听见这阵响声便赶过来，听见门徒在说他们各自的语言，都十分纳闷， 7 惊诧地说：“看啊！这些说话的不都是加利利人吗？ 8 怎么会说我们各自的语言呢？ 9 我们这里有帕提亚人、玛代人、以拦人，以及住在美索不达米亚、犹太、加帕多迦、本都、亚细亚、 10 弗吕迦、旁非利亚、埃及和靠近古利奈的利比亚的人，还有从罗马来的犹太人和改信犹太教的人、 11 克里特人和阿拉伯人。我们都听见他们在用我们各自的语言诉说上帝的伟大！” 12 他们都大感惊奇和困惑，彼此议论说：“这到底是怎么回事？”
13 有些人就讥笑说：“他们不过是被新酒灌醉了！”
彼得讲道
14 彼得和其他十一位使徒都站起来，他大声对众人说：“各位犹太同胞和住在耶路撒冷的人啊，请留心听！我告诉你们这是怎么回事。 15 你们以为这些人是醉了，其实不是，因为现在才早上九点钟。 16 你们眼前看见的正是先知约珥所说的，
17 “‘上帝说，在末后的日子，
我要将我的灵浇灌所有的人，
你们的儿女要说预言，
青年要见异象，
老人要做异梦。
18 那时，我要将我的灵浇灌我的奴仆和婢女，
他们都要说预言。
19 在天上，我要显异兆；
在地上，我要行神迹，有血、有火、有浓烟。
20 太阳要变得昏暗，
月亮要变得血红。
这都要发生在主伟大荣耀的日子来临以前。
21 那时，凡求告主名的，都必得救。’
22 “各位以色列人啊，请留心听。上帝借着拿撒勒人耶稣在你们中间行了异能、奇事和神迹，以证明拿撒勒人耶稣是祂派来的。这是你们都知道的。 23 上帝照着自己的计划和预知把耶稣交在你们手里，你们借着邪恶之人的手把祂钉死在十字架上了。 24 但上帝为祂解除了死亡的痛苦，使祂从死里复活，因为祂不可能被死亡拘禁。 25 论到耶稣，大卫曾说，
“‘我看见主常在我面前，
祂在我右边，我必不动摇。
26 因此我的心欢喜，我的口颂赞，
我的身体也要活在盼望中。
27 因为你不会把我的灵魂撇在阴间，
也不会让你的圣者身体朽坏。
28 你已把生命之路指示我，
叫我在你面前充满喜乐。’
29 “弟兄们，我肯定地对你们说，先祖大卫死了，埋葬了，他的坟墓至今还在这里。 30 大卫是先知，知道上帝曾起誓要从他的后裔中选立一人继承他的王位。 31 他预先知道这事，讲到基督的复活，说，‘祂的灵魂不会被撇在阴间，祂的身体也不会朽坏’。 32 上帝已经使这位耶稣复活了！我们都是这件事的见证人。 33 现在祂升到上帝的右边，从天父领受了所应许的圣灵，并将圣灵浇灌下来，你们今天也耳闻目睹了。 34 大卫并没有升到天上，但他曾说，
“‘主对我主说，
你坐在我的右边，
35 等我使你的仇敌成为你的脚凳。’
36 “所以，全体以色列人啊！你们应当确实地知道，上帝已经立这位被你们钉在十字架上的耶稣为主，为基督了。”
37 他们听了彼得的话，觉得扎心，就对彼得和其他使徒说：“弟兄们，我们该怎么办呢？” 38 彼得说：“你们每一个人都要悔改，奉耶稣基督的名受洗，使你们的罪得到赦免，你们就必领受上帝所赐的圣灵。 39 因为这应许是给你们和你们的儿女，以及远方的人，就是所有被主——我们的上帝呼召的人。”
40 然后，彼得还讲了许多话警戒、劝勉他们，说：“你们要保守自己脱离这邪恶的世代。”
41 结果，那天约有三千人相信了他传的道，接受了洗礼。 42 他们都一心遵守使徒的教导，一起团契、掰饼、祷告。
43 大家都满心敬畏上帝。使徒又行了很多神迹奇事。 44 信徒聚在一起，共用所有的东西。 45 他们把田产家业变卖了，按照各人的需要把钱分给大家。 46 他们天天同心合意地聚集在圣殿里敬拜上帝，又在各人家中掰饼聚会，以欢喜、慷慨的心分享食物， 47 赞美上帝，受到众人的喜爱。主使得救的人数与日俱增。
Acts 2
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
The Coming of the Holy Spirit
2 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. 6 And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. 7 Amazed and astonished, they asked, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.’ 12 All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, ‘What does this mean?’ 13 But others sneered and said, ‘They are filled with new wine.’
Peter Addresses the Crowd
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: ‘Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. 15 Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. 16 No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 “In the last days it will be, God declares,
that I will pour out 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 Even upon my slaves, both men and women,
in those days I will pour out my Spirit;
and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show portents in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and smoky mist.
20 The sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.
21 Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
22 ‘You that are Israelites,[a] listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth,[b] a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders, and signs that God did through him among you, as you yourselves know— 23 this man, handed over to you according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law. 24 But God raised him up, having freed him from death,[c] because it was impossible for him to be held in its power. 25 For David says concerning him,
“I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken;
26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
moreover, my flesh will live in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,
or let your Holy One experience corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
you will make me full of gladness with your presence.”
29 ‘Fellow Israelites,[d] I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Foreseeing this, David[e] spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah,[f] saying,
“He was not abandoned to Hades,
nor did his flesh experience corruption.”
32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted at[g] the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you both see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
“The Lord said to my Lord,
‘Sit at my right hand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.’”
36 Therefore let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah,[h] this Jesus whom you crucified.’
The First Converts
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, ‘Brothers,[i] what should we do?’ 38 Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ 40 And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.’ 41 So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added. 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Life among the Believers
43 Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. 44 All who believed were together and had all things in common; 45 they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds[j] to all, as any had need. 46 Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home[k] and ate their food with glad and generous[l] hearts, 47 praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being 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.
