Atos 2
O Livro
O Espírito Santo desce no Pentecostes
2 Chegado o dia de Pentecostes, estavam todos reunidos no mesmo lugar. 2 Subitamente, vindo dos céus, ouviu-se um som semelhante ao rugido de um furacão, que encheu toda a casa onde se encontravam. 3 Apareceram então línguas como que de fogo que pousaram sobre as suas cabeças. 4 E todos os presentes ficaram cheios do Espírito Santo, começando a falar línguas que desconheciam, conforme o poder que o Espírito Santo lhes dava.
5 Encontravam-se naquele dia em Jerusalém, para assistir às celebrações religiosas, muitos judeus piedosos vindos de todas as nações do mundo. 6 Ao ouvir-se aquele rugido, o povo acorreu para ver o que se passava, e todos ficaram pasmados, pois cada um ouvia os discípulos falar na sua própria língua.
7 Atónitos e admirados, interrogavam-se: “Como é que isto pode ser? Estes homens não são da Galileia? 8 Como é que os ouvimos falar nas línguas dos países onde nascemos? 9 Estamos aqui, partos, medos, elamitas, gente da Mesopotâmia, Judeia, Capadócia, Ponto, Ásia, 10 Frígia, Panfília, Egito, terras da Líbia perto de Cirene, forasteiros vindos de Roma, 11 (tanto judeus como convertidos ao judaísmo), cretenses e árabes. Todos ouvimos estes homens contar nas nossas diversas línguas os poderosos milagres de Deus!” 12 E ficaram atónitos, sem saber o que pensar, perguntando uns aos outros: “Que quer isto dizer?” 13 Mas também havia quem troçasse: “Beberam demais!”
Pedro fala à multidão
14 Então Pedro, avançando com os onze apóstolos, falou à multidão: “Escutem, homens da Judeia e moradores de Jerusalém! 15 Há quem esteja por aí a dizer que estes homens se embriagaram! Não é verdade! São apenas nove horas da manhã! 16 Aquilo a que acabam de assistir foi predito há séculos pelo profeta Joel:
17 ‘Nos últimos dias, disse Deus,
derramarei o meu Espírito sobre toda a humanidade.
Os vossos filhos e filhas profetizarão,
os vossos jovens terão visões e os vossos velhos sonhos.
18 Derramarei o meu Espírito,
mesmo sobre os meus servos e servas, naqueles dias,
e profetizarão.
19 Farei aparecer maravilhas no céu, lá no alto
e sinais na Terra, cá em baixo,
sangue, fogo e colunas de fumo.
20 O Sol escurecerá e a Lua ficará vermelha como o sangue,
antes de vir o grande e terrível dia do Senhor.
21 E todo aquele que invocar o nome do Senhor
será salvo.’[a]
22 Gente de Israel, ouçam! Deus deu testemunho público de Jesus de Nazaré com os espantosos milagres que através dele realizou, como bem sabem. 23 Mas, de acordo com o seu plano, deixou que se servissem de mãos de injustos para o pregarem na cruz e o assassinarem. 24 Porém, Deus libertou-o dos horrores da morte, trazendo-o de novo à vida, pois a morte não poderia ter prendido este homem.
25 Já o rei David tinha dito estas palavras referindo-se a Jesus:
‘Tenho posto o Senhor continuamente diante de mim.
E, visto que ele está ao meu lado, não serei movido.
26 Portanto o meu coração está alegre
e a minha alma está satisfeita.
O meu corpo repousará em esperança.
27 Porque sei que não deixarás a minha alma no inferno,
nem permitirás que o teu Santo conheça a corrupção.
28 Deste-me a conhecer os caminhos da vida
e as abundantes alegrias que há na tua presença.’[b]
29 Irmãos, permitam que vos diga isto com toda a clareza: o nosso antepassado David não se referia a si próprio, pois morreu e foi sepultado, e o seu túmulo ainda está entre nós! 30 Mas era profeta e sabia que Deus tinha prometido com juramento que um dos seus descendentes seria o Cristo e se sentaria no seu trono. 31 David previa e anunciava a ressurreição de Cristo, dizendo dele que a sua alma não seria deixada no inferno e que o seu corpo não conheceria a corrupção.
32 Referia-se, pois, a Jesus, e todos nós somos testemunhas de que Deus o ressuscitou dos mortos; 33 encontrando-se agora à direita de Deus. E cumprindo a promessa que fizera, o Pai deu-lhe autoridade para enviar o Espírito Santo, com os resultados que hoje estão a ver e a ouvir.
34 Não, David nunca subiu aos céus. Ele próprio afirmou:
‘Disse o Senhor ao meu Senhor:
“Senta-te à minha direita,
35 até que ponha os teus inimigos debaixo dos teus pés.” ’[c]
36 Portanto, declaro a todos em Israel que Deus fez deste Jesus, que vocês crucificaram, o Senhor e o Cristo!”
37 Estas palavras de Pedro causaram tão grande convicção que o povo lhe disse a ele e aos outros apóstolos: “Irmãos, que devemos fazer?”
38 E Pedro respondeu: “Cada um deve arrepender-se do seu pecado, converter-se a Deus e ser batizado em nome de Jesus Cristo, para perdão dos pecados. E então receberão também este dom do Espírito Santo. 39 Pois Cristo prometeu-o a todos quantos ouvirem a chamada do Senhor nosso Deus, tanto vocês como os vossos filhos, e até os que estão em terras distantes!” 40 Pedro continuou com persuasão a falar-lhes de Jesus, e insistia para que se salvassem, se livrassem dos males do seu tempo.
A fraternidade dos crentes
41 Aqueles que creram nas palavras de Pedro foram batizados; cerca de três mil ao todo. 42 E juntaram-se aos outros crentes, participando regularmente no ensino administrado pelos apóstolos, na união fraterna, no partir do pão e nas orações. 43 Todos sentiam profundo temor e respeito e os apóstolos faziam muitos sinais. 44 Os crentes encontravam-se constantemente e repartiam tudo uns com os outros, 45 vendendo os seus bens e pertences, e partilhavam o produto por todos, segundo a necessidade de cada um. 46 Cada dia adoravam juntos no templo; reuniam-se em pequenos grupos familiares para celebrar a comunhão, e tomavam as refeições juntos, 47 com grande alegria e gratidão, louvando Deus. A cidade inteira via-os com bons olhos e todos os dias Deus ia acrescentando ao seu número aqueles que se salvavam.

Silazak Svetog Duha
2 Kad je došao dan Pedesetnice, svi su apostoli bili okupljeni na jednome mjestu. 2 Odjednom se s neba začuo zvuk poput jakog vjetra te je ispunio cijelu kuću u kojoj su se nalazili. 3 Ugledali su nešto poput plamenih jezika, koji su se podijelili, i sišli na svakoga od njih. 4 Svi su se ispunili Svetim Duhom i počeli govoriti drugim jezicima kako im je Duh dao da govore.
5 U to su se vrijeme u Jeruzalemu nalazili pobožni Židovi iz svih naroda širom svijeta. 6 Kad su začuli taj zvuk, okupili su se u velikom broju. Svi su bili zbunjeni jer ih je svatko čuo da govore na njegovom jeziku.
7 Svi su se zaprepastili i u čudu govorili: »Nisu li ovi ljudi, što govore, Galilejci? 8 Pa kako to da ih svatko od nas čuje da govore na njegovome materinjem jeziku? 9 Tu su Parti, Međani, Elamiti, stanovnici Mezopotamije, tu su ljudi iz Judeje i Kapadocije, Ponta i Azije, 10 Frigije i Pamfilije, Egipta i libijskih krajeva oko Cirene, posjetioci iz Rima, 11 te Krećani i Arapi. Neki su rodom Židovi, a neki obraćenici na židovstvo. Svi mi čujemo ove ljude kako nam na našem jeziku govore o veličanstvenim Božjim djelima!«
12 Svi su bili zadivljeni i zbunjeni te su zapitkivali jedni druge: »Što ovo znači?« 13 Drugi su pak ismijavali apostole i govorili: »Napili su se mladoga vina.«
Petar govori narodu
14 Tada je Petar ustao, zajedno s ostalom jedanaestoricom, i jakim se glasom obratio narodu: »Braćo Židovi, i svi vi koji živite u Jeruzalemu, dopustite da vam kažem što ovo znači. Pažljivo poslušajte moje riječi! 15 Ovi ljudi nisu pijani, kao što vi mislite, jer tek je devet sati ujutro. 16 Ovo što vidite jest ono o čemu je govorio prorok Joel:
17 ‘U posljednje dane, kaže Bog,
izlit ću svog Duha na sve ljude.
Vaši sinovi i kćeri će proricati,
vaši će mladići vidjeti vizije,
a vaši starci sanjati snove.
18 Da, u te dane izlit ću svog Duha
na svoje sluge, muškarce i žene,
i oni će proricati.
19 Učinit ću čuda gore na Nebu
i znakove dolje na Zemlji:
krv i vatru i oblake dima.
20 Sunce će postati tamno,
a mjesec crven kao krv
prije nego što dođe velik i slavan Gospodinov dan.
21 A svatko tko zazove Gospodinovo ime,
bit će spašen.’[a]
22 Izraelci, slušajte ove riječi: Isus iz Nazareta bio je čovjek kojega je Bog odabrao, i to je jasno potvrdio velikim djelima, čudima i znacima, koje je, kao što i sami znate, Bog kroz njega činio među vama. 23 Taj je čovjek bio predan u vaše ruke s Božjim predznanjem i prema Božjem unaprijed zamišljenom planu. Vi ste ga, uz pomoć bezbožnika, ubili pribivši ga na križ. 24 No Bog ga je podigao iz mrtvih i oslobodio agonije smrti. Smrt ga nije mogla zadržati u svojoj vlasti, 25 kao što kaže David za njega:
‘Vidim da je Gospodin uvijek sa mnom.
Zdesna mi je da ne bih posrnuo.
26 Zbog toga je moje srce sretno i
moja usta radosno govore.
A moje će tijelo počivati u nadi
27 jer me nećeš ostaviti u boravištu mrtvih,
nećeš dopustiti da tvoj Svetac istrune.
28 Pokazao si mi put života,
ispunit ćeš me radošću u svojoj prisutnosti.’[b]
29 Braćo moja, pouzdano vam mogu reći za našeg praoca Davida: on je umro i pokopan je. Njegov je grob do današnjeg dana među nama. 30 No on je bio prorok i znao je što mu je obećao Bog—da će postaviti jednoga od njegovih potomaka na njegovo prijestolje.[c] 31 Gledajući u budućnost, prorekao je Kristovo uskrsnuće.
‘On nije ostavljen u boravištu mrtvih
niti je njegovo tijelo istrunulo u grobu.’
32 Taj je isti Isus sada uzvišen—Bog ga je podigao iz mrtvih i svi mi smo svjedoci tome. 33 Nakon što ga je Bog postavio sebi zdesna, Isus je od Oca primio obećanog Svetog Duha kojeg sada izlijeva na ovome mjestu. To je ovo što sada vidite i čujete. 34 David nije otišao na Nebo, već sam kaže:
‘Gospodin je rekao mome Gospodinu:
Sjedni mi s desne strane,
35 dok tvoje neprijatelje ne položim pod tvoje noge.’[d]
36 Stoga, neka cijeli Izrael sa sigurnošću zna da je Isusa, kojeg ste vi razapeli, Bog učinio Mesijom i Gospodinom!«
37 Kad su ljudi to čuli, bili su duboko potreseni pa su upitali Petra i ostale apostole: »Braćo, što da učinimo?« 38 Petar im je odgovorio: »Obratite se i neka se svaki od vas krsti u ime Isusa Krista. Tako će vam grijesi biti oprošteni i primit ćete Svetog Duha kao dar. 39 Ovo je obećanje vama i vašoj djeci. Ono vrijedi i za sve one koji su daleko, a koje Gospodin, naš Bog, poziva k sebi.«
40 Petar ih je još na razne načine opominjao i preklinjao riječima: »Spasite se od ovoga pokvarenog naraštaja!« 41 Oni koji su prihvatili njegovu poruku, krstili su se, a toga im se dana pridružilo oko tri tisuće ljudi. 42 Bili su ustrajni u učenju apostolskog nauka, zajedničkom životu, lomljenju kruha[e] i molitvi.
Život vjernika
43 Apostoli su činili mnoga silna i čudesna djela[f] pa je sve prisutne obuzelo strahopoštovanje. 44 Svi su vjernici bili zajedno i dijelili sve što su imali. 45 Prodavali su svoja imanja i imovinu, a zatim novac dijelili svakomu prema potrebi. 46 Svakoga su se dana nastavili sastajati u Hramu. Po kućama su lomili kruh i jeli zajedno, radosnog i iskrenog srca. 47 Slavili su Gospodina i uživali naklonost svih ljudi. A Gospodin im je svakodnevno pridodavao mnoštvo novih vjernika koji su se spašavali.

Acts 2
New International Version
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
2 When the day of Pentecost(A) came, they were all together(B) in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.(C) 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit(D) and began to speak in other tongues[a](E) as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing(F) Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed,(G) they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?(H) 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia,(I) Pontus(J) and Asia,[b](K) 10 Phrygia(L) and Pamphylia,(M) Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene;(N) visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”(O)
Peter Addresses the Crowd
14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning!(P) 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 “‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.(Q)
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,(R)
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.(S)
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,(T)
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood(U)
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord(V) will be saved.’[c](W)
22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth(X) was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs,(Y) which God did among you through him,(Z) as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge;(AA) and you, with the help of wicked men,[d] put him to death by nailing him to the cross.(AB) 24 But God raised him from the dead,(AC) freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.(AD) 25 David said about him:
“‘I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
you will not let your holy one see decay.(AE)
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.’[e](AF)
29 “Fellow Israelites,(AG) I can tell you confidently that the patriarch(AH) David died and was buried,(AI) and his tomb is here(AJ) to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.(AK) 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.(AL) 32 God has raised this Jesus to life,(AM) and we are all witnesses(AN) of it. 33 Exalted(AO) to the right hand of God,(AP) he has received from the Father(AQ) the promised Holy Spirit(AR) and has poured out(AS) what you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
35 until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”’[f](AT)
36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord(AU) and Messiah.”(AV)
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”(AW)
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized,(AX) every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.(AY) And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(AZ) 39 The promise is for you and your children(BA) and for all who are far off(BB)—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”(BC) 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number(BD) that day.
The Fellowship of the Believers
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching(BE) and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread(BF) and to prayer.(BG) 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.(BH) 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.(BI) 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.(BJ) 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.(BK) They broke bread(BL) in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.(BM) And the Lord added to their number(BN) daily 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.
