Atos 2
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
A vinda do Espírito Santo
2 Quando chegou o dia de Pentecostes, todos eles estavam reunidos no mesmo lugar. 2 De repente eles ouviram um som vindo do céu parecido com o de uma ventania. Todos eles, que estavam sentados, ouviram o som por toda a casa. 3 E então apareceram línguas como de fogo[a] que se espalharam e pousaram sobre cada um deles. 4 Todos ficaram cheios do Espírito Santo e começaram a falar em outras línguas, de acordo com o que o Espírito lhes concedia que falassem.
5 Estavam morando em Jerusalém judeus cheios de fé, que tinham vindo de todas as partes do mundo conhecido de então. 6 Ao ouvirem aquele som, a multidão se ajuntou e todos ficaram muito perplexos, pois cada um os ouvia falar em sua própria língua. 7 Muito surpresos, diziam uns aos outros:
—Não são galileus[b] todos estes homens que estão falando? 8 Como é, então, que cada um de nós os ouve falar em nossa própria língua nativa? 9 Viemos da Pártia, da Média, do Elão, da Mesopotâmia, da Judeia, da Capadócia, do Ponto, da Ásia, 10 da Frígia, da Panfília, do Egito e das regiões da Líbia, que fica perto de Cirene. Alguns de nós são de Roma, 11 outros vieram de Creta e outros da Arábia. Alguns são judeus e outros são convertidos ao judaísmo. Nós os estamos ouvindo falar sobre a grandeza de Deus em nossas próprias línguas! 12 Eles estavam todos surpresos e sem saber o que pensar, e diziam uns aos outros:
—O que quer dizer tudo isto?
13 Outros, porém, debochavam deles e diziam:
—Eles estão bêbados.
A mensagem de Pedro
14 Então Pedro se levantou junto com os onze apóstolos e, em voz bem alta, começou a falar para a multidão, dizendo:
—Homens da Judeia! Todos vocês que estão morando em Jerusalém! Deixem que eu lhes diga uma coisa e prestem muita atenção ao que eu vou dizer. 15 Estes homens não estão bêbados como vocês pensam que estão, pois mal passa das nove horas da manhã! 16 Ao contrário! O que está acontecendo diz respeito ao que o profeta Joel falou:
17 “Nos últimos dias—diz Deus—derramarei o meu Espírito
sobre todos os povos.
Os seus filhos e filhas profetizarão,
os jovens terão visões
e os idosos terão sonhos.
18 Sim, naqueles dias derramarei o meu Espírito
sobre os meus servos e as minhas servas,
e eles profetizarão.
19 Eu farei grandes maravilhas em cima, no céu,
e sinais em baixo, na terra:
haverá sangue e fogo e nuvens de fumaça.
20 O sol se transformará em escuridão
e a lua em sangue.
Então virá
o grande e glorioso dia do Senhor.
21 E Deus salvará a todos os que chamam por ele”[c]. (A)
22 —Homens de Israel! Escutem o que eu vou dizer: Jesus de Nazaré foi um homem cujas credenciais foram aprovadas por Deus entre vocês, por meio de muitos milagres, maravilhas e sinais que o próprio Deus realizou por meio dele, como vocês bem sabem. 23 Esse homem foi entregue a vocês de acordo com o propósito e o prévio conhecimento de Deus; e vocês, com a ajuda de homens maus, mataram-no, crucificando-o. 24 Deus, porém, o ressuscitou, livrando-o das dores da morte, pois não era possível que ele fosse dominado por ela. 25 Pois Davi disse isto a respeito dele:
“Eu vi o Senhor sempre à minha frente;
ele está à minha direita para que eu não seja abalado.
26 Por isso, o meu coração está feliz,
a minha boca fala coisas alegres
e o meu corpo vive em esperança.
27 Isso acontece porque o senhor não abandonará a minha alma no mundo dos mortos[d]
e também não permitirá que o seu Santo entre em decomposição.
28 O Senhor me revelou os caminhos da vida
e me encherá de alegria com a sua presença”.(B)
29 —Irmãos! Eu posso lhes dizer com confiança a respeito do patriarca Davi: Ele morreu, foi sepultado e o seu túmulo se encontra entre nós até os dias de hoje. 30 Ele era um profeta e sabia que Deus lhe tinha jurado que um dos seus descendentes se sentaria no seu trono.[e] 31 Vendo antecipadamente, Davi falou a respeito da ressurreição de Cristo. Davi disse que Cristo não seria abandonado no lugar dos mortos e também que seu corpo não entraria em decomposição.[f] 32 Deus ressuscitou a Jesus e nós somos testemunhas disso. 33 Depois de ter sido levado para a direita de Deus,[g] ele recebeu do Pai o Espírito Santo, que o próprio Pai havia prometido, e derramou o que vocês agora estão vendo e ouvindo. 34 Porque não foi Davi quem subiu para o céu e ele mesmo diz:
“O Senhor disse ao meu Senhor:
‘Sente-se à minha direita,
até eu pôr os seus inimigos
35 debaixo dos seus pés’”.(C)
36 Portanto que todo o povo de Israel tenha certeza de que esse mesmo Jesus, a quem vocês crucificaram, Deus o fez Senhor e Cristo!
Os primeiros batismos
37 Ao ouvirem aquilo, todos sentiram um profundo remorso e perguntaram a Pedro e aos demais apóstolos:
—O que devemos fazer então, irmãos?
38 Pedro lhes disse:
—Mudem o seu comportamento e cada um de vocês seja batizado em nome de Jesus Cristo, para o perdão dos pecados de vocês. Então receberão um presente de Deus: o Espírito Santo. 39 Pois esta promessa é para quem o Senhor, nosso Deus, chamar para si: vocês, seus filhos e todos aqueles que estão longe.
40 E Pedro continuava a testemunhar, e os encorajava com muitas outras palavras, dizendo:
—Salvem-se desta geração má!
41 Aqueles que aceitaram a sua mensagem foram batizados e, mais ou menos, três mil pessoas foram adicionadas naquele dia.
A igreja cristã
42 Eles se dedicavam ao ensino dos apóstolos, à comunhão, a comer juntos[h] e às orações. 43 Os apóstolos fizeram muitos sinais e maravilhas, e um sentimento de muito respeito tomou conta de todos. 44 Todos os que tinham crido ficavam juntos e repartiam tudo o que tinham. 45 Eles vendiam suas propriedades e os seus bens e distribuíam entre todos, conforme a necessidade de cada um. 46 Eles se reuniam no templo todos os dias, e comiam juntos de casa em casa, repartindo a comida com alegria e com sinceridade no coração. 47 Eles louvavam a Deus e eram estimados por todas as pessoas. E todos os dias o Senhor aumentava aquele grupo com pessoas que iam sendo salvas.

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
English Standard Version
The Coming of the Holy Spirit
2 When (A)the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like (B)a mighty rushing wind, and (C)it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues (D)as of fire appeared to them and rested[a] on each one of them. 4 And they were all (E)filled with the Holy Spirit and began (F)to speak in other tongues (G)as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 And (H)at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7 And (I)they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking (J)Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9 Parthians and (K)Medes and (L)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, 11 both Jews and (M)proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” 12 And (N)all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others (O)mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”
Peter's Sermon at Pentecost
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, (P)since it is only the third hour of the day.[b] 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:
17 (Q)“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
(R)that I will pour out my Spirit (S)on all flesh,
and your sons and (T)your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and (U)they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 (V)the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before (W)the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that (X)everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, (Y)a man attested to you by God (Z)with (AA)mighty works and wonders and signs that (AB)God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus,[c] (AC)delivered up according to (AD)the definite plan and (AE)foreknowledge of God, (AF)you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 (AG)God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because (AH)it was not possible for him to be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him,
(AI)“‘I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
my flesh also will dwell (AJ)in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to (AK)Hades,
(AL)or let your (AM)Holy One (AN)see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
29 “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about (AO)the patriarch David (AP)that he both died and (AQ)was buried, and (AR)his tomb is with us to this day. 30 (AS)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that (AT)God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that (AU)he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus (AV)God raised up, (AW)and of that we all are witnesses. 33 (AX)Being therefore (AY)exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from (AZ)the Father (BA)the promise of the Holy Spirit, (BB)he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For (BC)David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
(BD)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.”’
36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that (BE)God has made him (BF)both Lord and Christ, this Jesus (BG)whom you crucified.”
37 Now when (BH)they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, (BI)what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, (BJ)“Repent and (BK)be baptized every one of you (BL)in the name of Jesus Christ (BM)for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive (BN)the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For (BO)the promise is for you and (BP)for your children and for all (BQ)who are far off, everyone (BR)whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, (BS)“Save yourselves from this (BT)crooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and (BU)there were added that day about three thousand souls.
The Fellowship of the Believers
42 And (BV)they devoted themselves to the apostles' (BW)teaching and the (BX)fellowship, to (BY)the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe[d] came upon every soul, and (BZ)many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and (CA)had all things in common. 45 And (CB)they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, (CC)attending the temple (CD)together and (CE)breaking bread in their homes, they received their food (CF)with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and (CG)having favor with all the people. And the Lord (CH)added to their number (CI)day by day those who (CJ)were being saved.
