1Et cum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes pariter in eodem loco:
1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2et factus est repente de cælo sonus, tamquam advenientis spiritus vehementis, et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes.
2Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3Et apparuerunt illis dispertitæ linguæ tamquam ignis, seditque supra singulos eorum:
3They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et cœperunt loqui variis linguis, prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis.
4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
5Erant autem in Jerusalem habitantes Judæi, viri religiosi ex omni natione quæ sub cælo est.
5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
6Facta autem hac voce, convenit multitudo, et mente confusa est, quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes.
6And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.
7Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes: Nonne ecce omnes isti qui loquuntur, Galilæi sunt?
7Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?
8et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram in qua nati sumus?
8How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?
9Parthi, et Medi, et Ælamitæ, et qui habitant Mespotamiam, Judæam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam,
9Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygiam, et Pamphyliam, Ægyptum, et partes Libyæ quæ est circa Cyrenen: et advenæ Romani,
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,
11Judæi quoque, et Proselyti, Cretes, et Arabes: audivimus eos loquentes nostris linguis magnalia Dei.
11both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
12Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur ad invicem, dicentes: Quidnam vult hoc esse?
12Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13Alii autem irridentes dicebant: Quia musto pleni sunt isti.
13But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”
14Stans autem Petrus cum undecim, levavit vocem suam, et locutus est eis: Viri Judæi, et qui habitatis Jerusalem universi, hoc vobis notum sit, et auribus percipite verba mea.
14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.
15Non enim, sicut vos æstimatis, hi ebrii sunt, cum sit hora diei tertia:
15These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!
16sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophetam Joël:
16No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17[Et erit in novissimis diebus, dicit Dominus, effundam de Spiritu meo super omnem carnem: et prophetabunt filii vestri et filiæ vestræ, et juvenes vestri visiones videbunt, et seniores vestri somnia somniabunt.
17‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
18Et quidem super servos meos, et super ancillas meas, in diebus illis effundam de Spiritu meo, et prophetabunt:
18Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19et dabo prodigia in cælo sursum, et signa in terra deorsum, sanguinem, et ignem, et vaporem fumi:
19I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus.
20The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.
21Et erit: omnis quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.]
21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22Viri Israëlitæ, audite verba hæc: Jesum Nazarenum, virum approbatum a Deo in vobis, virtutibus, et prodigiis, et signis, quæ fecit Deus per illum in medio vestri, sicut et vos scitis:
22Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.
23hunc, definito consilio et præscientia Dei traditum, per manus iniquorum affligentes interemistis:
23He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.
24quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, juxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo.
24But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.
25David enim dicit in eum: [Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper: quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear:
25David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
26propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea, insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe:
26Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,
27quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem.
27because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.
28Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ: et replebis me jucunditate cum facie tua.]
28You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’
29Viri fratres, liceat audenter dicere ad vos de patriarcha David, quoniam defunctus est, et sepultus: et sepulchrum ejus est apud nos usque in hodiernum diem.
29Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30Propheta igitur cum esset, et sciret quia jurejurando jurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi ejus sedere super sedem ejus:
30But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.
31providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi, quia neque derelictus est in inferno, neque caro ejus vidit corruptionem.
31Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.
32Hunc Jesum resuscitavit Deus, cujus omnes nos testes sumus.
32God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.
33Dextera igitur Dei exaltatus, et promissione Spiritus Sancti accepta a Patre, effudit hunc, quem vos videtis et auditis.
33Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
34Non enim David ascendit in cælum: dixit autem ipse: [Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis,
34For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
35donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.]
35until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
36Certissime sciat ergo omnis domus Israël, quia et Dominum eum et Christum fecit Deus hunc Jesum, quem vos crucifixistis.
36Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”
37His autem auditis, compuncti sunt corde, et dixerunt ad Petrum et ad reliquos Apostolos: Quid faciemus, viri fratres?
37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38Petrus vero ad illos: Pœnitentiam, inquit, agite, et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Jesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum: et accipietis donum Spiritus Sancti.
38Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every 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.
39Vobis enim est repromissio, et filiis vestris, et omnibus qui longe sunt, quoscumque advocaverit Dominus Deus noster.
39This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”
40Aliis etiam verbis plurimis testificatus est, et exhortabatur eos, dicens: Salvamini a generatione ista prava.
40With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”
41Qui ergo receperunt sermonem ejus, baptizati sunt: et appositæ sunt in die illa animæ circiter tria millia.
41Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.
42Erant autem perseverantes in doctrina Apostolorum, et communicatione fractionis panis, et orationibus.
42They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
43Fiebat autem omni animæ timor: multa quoque prodigia et signa per Apostolos in Jerusalem fiebant, et metus erat magnus in universis.
43A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.
44Omnes etiam qui credebant, erant pariter, et habebant omnia communia.
44All the believers were together and had everything in common.
45Possessiones et substantias vendebant, et dividebant illa omnibus, prout cuique opus erat.
45Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.
46Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo, et frangentes circa domos panem, sumebant cibum cum exsultatione et simplicitate cordis,
46With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,
47collaudantes Deum et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem. Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent quotidie in idipsum.
47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
