Acts 2

New Century Version NCV

1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

2 Suddenly a noise like a strong, blowing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3 They saw something like flames of fire that were separated and stood over each person there.

4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak different languagesn by the power the Holy Spirit was giving them.

5 There were some religious Jews staying in Jerusalem who were from every country in the world.

6 When they heard this noise, a crowd came together. They were all surprised, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

7 They were completely amazed at this. They said, "Look! Aren't all these people that we hear speaking from Galilee?

8 Then how is it possible that we each hear them in our own languages? We are from different places:

9 Parthia, Media, Elam, Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the areas of Libya near Cyrene, Rome

11 (both Jews and those who had become Jews), Crete, and Arabia. But we hear them telling in our own languages about the great things God has done!"

12 They were all amazed and confused, asking each other, "What does this mean?"

13 But others were making fun of them, saying, "They have had too much wine."

14 But Peter stood up with the eleven apostles, and in a loud voice he spoke to the crowd: "My fellow Jews, and all of you who are in Jerusalem, listen to me. Pay attention to what I have to say.

15 These people are not drunk, as you think; it is only nine o'clock in the morning!

16 But Joel the prophet wrote about what is happening here today:

17 'God says: In the last days I will pour out my Spirit on all kinds of people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

18 At that time I will pour out my Spirit also on my male slaves and female slaves, and they will prophesy.

19 I will show miracles in the sky and on the earth: blood, fire, and thick smoke.

20 The sun will become dark, the moon red as blood, before the overwhelming and glorious day of the Lord will come.

21 Then anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved.'

22 "People of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus from Nazareth was a very special man. God clearly showed this to you by the miracles, wonders, and signs he did through Jesus. You all know this, because it happened right here among you.

23 Jesus was given to you, and with the help of those who don't know the law, you put him to death by nailing him to a cross. But this was God's plan which he had made long ago; he knew all this would happen.

24 God raised Jesus from the dead and set him free from the pain of death, because death could not hold him.

25 For David said this about him: 'I keep the Lord before me always. Because he is close by my side, I will not be hurt.

26 So I am glad, and I rejoice. Even my body has hope,

27 because you will not leave me in the grave. You will not let your Holy One rot.

28 You will teach me how to live a holy life. Being with you will fill me with joy.'

29 "Brothers and sisters, I can tell you truly that David, our ancestor, died and was buried. His grave is still here with us today.

30 He was a prophet and knew God had promised him that he would make a person from David's family a king just as he was.

31 Knowing this before it happened, David talked about the Christ rising from the dead. He said: 'He was not left in the grave. His body did not rot.'

32 So Jesus is the One whom God raised from the dead. And we are all witnesses to this.

33 Jesus was lifted up to heaven and is now at God's right side. The Father has given the Holy Spirit to Jesus as he promised. So Jesus has poured out that Spirit, and this is what you now see and hear.

34 David was not the one who was lifted up to heaven, but he said: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit by me at my right side,

35 until I put your enemies under your control."'

36 "So, all the people of Israel should know this truly: God has made Jesus -- the man you nailed to the cross -- both Lord and Christ."

37 When the people heard this, they felt guilty and asked Peter and the other apostles, "What shall we do?"

38 Peter said to them, "Change your hearts and lives and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39 This promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away. It is for everyone the Lord our God calls to himself."

40 Peter warned them with many other words. He begged them, "Save yourselves from the evil of today's people!"

41 Then those people who accepted what Peter said were baptized. About three thousand people were added to the number of believers that day.

42 They spent their time learning the apostles' teaching, sharing, breaking bread, and praying together.

43 The apostles were doing many miracles and signs, and everyone felt great respect for God.

44 All the believers were together and shared everything.

45 They would sell their land and the things they owned and then divide the money and give it to anyone who needed it.

46 The believers met together in the Temple every day. They ate together in their homes, happy to share their food with joyful hearts.

47 They praised God and were liked by all the people. Every day the Lord added those who were being saved to the group of believers.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et cum conplerentur dies pentecostes erant omnes pariter in eodem loco

2 et factus est repente de caelo sonus tamquam advenientis spiritus vehementis et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes

3 et apparuerunt illis dispertitae linguae tamquam ignis seditque supra singulos eorum

4 et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto et coeperunt loqui aliis linguis prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis

5 erant autem in Hierusalem habitantes Iudaei viri religiosi ex omni natione quae sub caelo sunt

6 facta autem hac voce convenit multitudo et mente confusa est quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes

7 stupebant autem omnes et mirabantur dicentes nonne omnes ecce isti qui loquuntur Galilaei sunt

8 et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque lingua nostra in qua nati sumus

9 Parthi et Medi et Elamitae et qui habitant Mesopotamiam et Iudaeam et Cappadociam Pontum et Asiam

10 Frygiam et Pamphiliam Aegyptum et partes Lybiae quae est circa Cyrenen et advenae romani

11 Iudaei quoque et proselyti Cretes et Arabes audivimus loquentes eos nostris linguis magnalia Dei

12 stupebant autem omnes et mirabantur ad invicem dicentes quidnam hoc vult esse

13 alii autem inridentes dicebant quia musto pleni sunt isti

14 stans autem Petrus cum undecim levavit vocem suam et locutus est eis viri iudaei et qui habitatis Hierusalem universi hoc vobis notum sit et auribus percipite verba mea

15 non enim sicut vos aestimatis hii ebrii sunt cum sit hora diei tertia

16 sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophetam Iohel

17 et erit in novissimis diebus dicit Dominus effundam de Spiritu meo super omnem carnem et prophetabunt filii vestri et filiae vestrae et iuvenes vestri visiones videbunt et seniores vestri somnia somniabunt

18 et quidem super servos meos et super ancillas meas in diebus illis effundam de Spiritu meo et prophetabunt

19 et dabo prodigia in caelo sursum et signa in terra deorsum sanguinem et ignem et vaporem fumi

20 sol convertetur in tenebras et luna in sanguinem antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus

21 et erit omnis quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini salvus erit

22 viri israhelitae audite verba haec Iesum Nazarenum virum adprobatum a Deo in vobis virtutibus et prodigiis et signis quae fecit per illum Deus in medio vestri sicut vos scitis

23 hunc definito consilio et praescientia Dei traditum per manus iniquorum adfigentes interemistis

24 quem Deus suscitavit solutis doloribus inferni iuxta quod inpossibile erat teneri illum ab eo

25 David enim dicit in eum providebam Dominum coram me semper quoniam a dextris meis est ne commovear

26 propter hoc laetatum est cor meum et exultavit lingua mea insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe

27 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno neque dabis Sanctum tuum videre corruptionem

28 notas fecisti mihi vias vitae replebis me iucunditate cum facie tua

29 viri fratres liceat audenter dicere ad vos de patriarcha David quoniam et defunctus est et sepultus est et sepulchrum eius est apud nos usque in hodiernum diem

30 propheta igitur cum esset et sciret quia iureiurando iurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi eius sedere super sedem eius

31 providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi quia neque derelictus est in inferno neque caro eius vidit corruptionem

32 hunc Iesum resuscitavit Deus cui omnes nos testes sumus

33 dextera igitur Dei exaltatus et promissione Spiritus Sancti accepta a Patre effudit hunc quem vos videtis et audistis

34 non enim David ascendit in caelos dicit autem ipse dixit Dominus Domino meo sede a dextris meis

35 donec ponam inimicos tuos scabillum pedum tuorum

36 certissime ergo sciat omnis domus Israhel quia et Dominum eum et Christum Deus fecit hunc Iesum quem vos crucifixistis

37 his auditis conpuncti sunt corde et dixerunt ad Petrum et ad reliquos apostolos quid faciemus viri fratres

38 Petrus vero ad illos paenitentiam inquit agite et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Iesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum et accipietis donum Sancti Spiritus

39 vobis enim est repromissio et filiis vestris et omnibus qui longe sunt quoscumque advocaverit Dominus Deus noster

40 aliis etiam verbis pluribus testificatus est et exhortabatur eos dicens salvamini a generatione ista prava

41 qui ergo receperunt sermonem eius baptizati sunt et adpositae sunt in illa die animae circiter tria milia

42 erant autem perseverantes in doctrina apostolorum et communicatione fractionis panis et orationibus

43 fiebat autem omni animae timor multa quoque prodigia et signa per apostolos fiebant in Hierusalem et metus erat magnus in universis

44 omnes etiam qui credebant erant pariter et habebant omnia communia

45 possessiones et substantias vendebant et dividebant illa omnibus prout cuique opus erat

46 cotidie quoque perdurantes unianimiter in templo et frangentes circa domos panem sumebant cibum cum exultatione et simplicitate cordis

47 conlaudantes Deum et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent cotidie in id ipsum
