Acts of the Apostles 2

Authored by: American Standard Version
2:1
Και εν τω συμπληρουσθαι την ημεραν της Πεντηκοστης ησαν παντες ομου επι το αυτο
And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place.
2:2
και εγενετο αφνω εκ του ουρανου ηχος ωσπερ φερομενης πνοης βιαιας και επληρωσεν ολον τον οικον ου ησαν καθημενοι
And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
2:3
και ωφθησαν αυτοις διαμεριζομεναι γλωσσαι ωσει πυρος και εκαθισεν εφ ενα εκαστον αυτων
And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.
2:4
και επλησθησαν παντες Πνευματος Αγιου και ηρξαντο λαλειν ετεραις γλωσσαις καθως το Πνευμα εδιδου αποφθεγγεσθαι αυτοις
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
1
2:5
Ησαν δε εις Ιερουσαλημ κατοικουντες Ιουδαιοι ανδρες ευλαβεις απο παντος εθνους των υπο τον ουρανον
Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
2:6
γενομενης δε της φωνης ταυτης συνηλθεν το πληθος και συνεχυθη οτι ηκουον εις εκαστος τη ιδια διαλεκτω λαλουντων αυτων
And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language.
2:7
Εξισταντο δε και εθαυμαζον λεγοντες Ουχ ιδου απαντες ουτοι εισιν οι λαλουντες Γαλιλαιοι
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilæans?
2:8
και πως ημεις ακουομεν εκαστος τη ιδια διαλεκτω ημων εν η εγεννηθημεν
And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born?
2:9
Παρθοι και Μηδοι και Ελαμιται και οι κατοικουντες την Μεσοποταμιαν Ιουδαιαν τε και Καππαδοκιαν Ποντον και την Ασιαν
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judæa and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
2:10
Φρυγιαν τε και Παμφυλιαν Αιγυπτον και τα μερη της Λιβυης της κατα Κυρηνην και οι επιδημουντες Ρωμαιοι
in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
2:11
Ιουδαιοι τε και προσηλυτοι Κρητες και Αραβες ακουομεν λαλουντων αυτων ταις ημετεραις γλωσσαις τα μεγαλεια του Θεου
Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God.
2:12
Εξισταντο δε παντες και διηπορουν αλλος προς αλλον λεγοντες Τι θελει τουτο ειναι
And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
2:13
Ετεροι δε διαχλευαζοντες ελεγον οτι Γλευκους μεμεστωμενοι εισιν
But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.
2:14
Σταθεις δε ο Πετρος συν τοις ενδεκα επηρεν την φωνην αυτου και απεφθεγξατο αυτοις Ανδρες Ιουδαιοι και οι κατοικουντες Ιερουσαλημ παντες τουτο υμιν γνωστον εστω και ενωτισασθε τα ρηματα μου
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, saying, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words.
2:15
ου γαρ ως υμεις υπολαμβανετε ουτοι μεθυουσιν εστιν γαρ ωρα τριτη της ημερας
For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is but the third hour of the day;
2:16
αλλα τουτο εστιν το ειρημενον δια του προφητου Ιωηλ
but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:
2:17
Και εσται εν ταις εσχαταις ημεραις λεγει ο Θεος εκχεω απο του Πνευματος μου επι πασαν σαρκα και προφητευσουσιν οι υιοι υμων και αι θυγατερες υμων και οι νεανισκοι υμων ορασεις οψονται και οι πρεσβυτεροι υμων ενυπνιοις ενυπνιασθησονται
And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth 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:
2:18
και γε επι τους δουλους μου και επι τας δουλας μου εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις εκχεω απο του Πνευματος μου και προφητευσουσιν
Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
2:19
και δωσω τερατα εν τω ουρανω ανω και σημεια επι της γης κατω αιμα και πυρ και ατμιδα καπνου
And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
2:20
ο ηλιος μεταστραφησεται εις σκοτος και η σεληνη εις αιμα πριν ελθειν ημεραν Κυριου την μεγαλην και επιφανη
The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable day:
2:21
και εσται πας ος αν επικαλεσηται το ονομα Κυριου σωθησεται
And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
2:22
Ανδρες Ισραηλιται ακουσατε τους λογους τουτους Ιησουν τον Ναζωραιον ανδρα αποδεδειγμενον απο του Θεου εις υμας δυναμεσι και τερασι και σημειοις οις εποιησεν δι αυτου ο Θεος εν μεσω υμων καθως αυτοι οιδατε
Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know;
2:23
τουτον τη ωρισμενη βουλη και προγνωσει του Θεου εκδοτον δια χειρος ανομων προσπηξαντες ανειλατε
him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay:
2:24
ον ο Θεος ανεστησεν λυσας τας ωδινας του θανατου καθοτι ουκ ην δυνατον κρατεισθαι αυτον υπ αυτου
whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
2:25
Δαυιδ γαρ λεγει εις αυτον Προορωμην τον Κυριον ενωπιον μου δια παντος οτι εκ δεξιων μου εστιν ινα μη σαλευθω
For David saith concerning him, I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
2:26
δια τουτο ηυφρανθη η καρδια μου και ηγαλλιασατο η γλωσσα μου ετι δε και η σαρξ μου κατασκηνωσει επ ελπιδι
Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:
2:27
οτι ουκ ενκαταλειψεις την ψυχην μου εις αδην ουδε δωσεις τον Οσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν
Because thou wilt not leave my soul unto Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption.
2:28
εγνωρισας μοι οδους ζωης πληρωσεις με ευφροσυνης μετα του προσωπου σου
Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.
2:29
Ανδρες αδελφοι εξον ειπειν μετα παρρησιας προς υμας περι του πατριαρχου Δαυιδ οτι και ετελευτησεν και εταφη και το μνημα αυτου εστιν εν ημιν αχρι της ημερας ταυτης
Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day.
2:30
προφητης ουν υπαρχων και ειδως οτι ορκω ωμοσεν αυτω ο Θεος εκ καρπου της οσφυος αυτου καθισαι επι τον θρονον αυτου
Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon his throne;
2:31
προιδων ελαλησεν περι της αναστασεως του Χριστου οτι ουτε ενκατελειφθη εις αδην ουτε η σαρξ αυτου ειδεν διαφθοραν
he foreseeing this spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left unto Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
2:32
Τουτον τον Ιησουν ανεστησεν ο Θεος ου παντες ημεις εσμεν μαρτυρες
This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses.
2:33
τη δεξια ουν του Θεου υψωθεις την τε επαγγελιαν του Πνευματος του Αγιου λαβων παρα του Πατρος εξεχεεν τουτο ο υμεις και βλεπετε και ακουετε
Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear.
2:34
Ου γαρ Δαυιδ ανεβη εις τους ουρανους λεγει δε αυτος Ειπεν ο Κυριος τω Κυριω μου Καθου εκ δεξιων μου
For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
2:35
εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
2:36
Ασφαλως ουν γινωσκετω πας οικος Ισραηλ οτι και Κυριον αυτον και Χριστον εποιησεν ο Θεος τουτον τον Ιησουν ον υμεις εσταυρωσατε
Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.
2:37
Ακουσαντες δε κατενυγησαν την καρδιαν ειπον τε προς τον Πετρον και τους λοιπους αποστολους Τι ποιησωμεν ανδρες αδελφοι
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?
2:38
Πετρος δε προς αυτους Μετανοησατε φησιν Και βαπτισθητω εκαστος υμων επι τω ονοματι Ιησου Χριστου εις αφεσιν των αμαρτιων υμων και λημψεσθε την δωρεαν του Αγιου Πνευματος
And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
2:39
υμιν γαρ εστιν η επαγγελια και τοις τεκνοις υμων και πασιν τοις εις μακραν οσους αν προσκαλεσηται Κυριος ο Θεος ημων
For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
2:40
Ετεροις τε λογοις πλειοσιν διεμαρτυρατο και παρεκαλει αυτους λεγων Σωθητε απο της γενεας της σκολιας ταυτης
And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation.
2:41
οι μεν ουν αποδεξαμενοι τον λογον αυτου εβαπτισθησαν και προσετεθησαν εν τη ημερα εκεινη ψυχαι ωσει τρισχιλιαι
They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls.
2:42
Ησαν δε προσκαρτερουντες τη διδαχη των αποστολων και τη κοινωνια τη κλασει του αρτου και ταις προσευχαις
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers.
2:43
Εγινετο δε παση ψυχη φοβος πολλα τε τερατα και σημεια δια των αποστολων εγινετο
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
2:44
Παντες δε οι πιστευοντες ησαν επι το αυτο και ειχον απαντα κοινα
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
2:45
και τα κτηματα και τας υπαρξεις επιπρασκον και διεμεριζον αυτα πασιν καθοτι αν τις χρειαν ειχεν
and they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need.
2:46
Καθ ημεραν τε προσκαρτερουντες ομοθυμαδον εν τω ιερω κλωντες τε κατ οικον αρτον μετελαμβανον τροφης εν αγαλλιασει και αφελοτητι καρδιας
And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
2:47
αινουντες τον Θεον και εχοντες χαριν προς ολον τον λαον ο δε Κυριος προσετιθει τους σωζομενους καθ ημεραν επι το αυτο
praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved.
