1到了,門徒都聚集在一處。When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

2忽然,從天上有響聲下來,好像一陣大風吹過,充滿了他們所坐的屋子,Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3又有顯現出來,分開落在他們各人頭上。They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

4他們就都被聖靈充滿,按著聖靈所賜的口才說起來。And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

5那時,有的猶太人從天下各國來,住在耶路撒冷。Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

6這聲音一響,眾人都來聚集,各人聽見門徒用眾人的說話,就甚;And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

7都驚訝希奇說:「看哪,這說話的不都是加利利人嗎?Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

8我們各人怎麼聽見他們說我們生來所用的鄉談呢?How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

9我們、米底亞人、以攔人,和住在美索不達米亞、猶太、加帕多家、本都、亞細亞、Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10弗呂家、旁非利亞、埃及的人,並靠近古利奈的利比亞一帶地方的人,從羅馬來的客旅中,或是猶太人,或是,Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,

11克里特和阿拉伯人,都聽見他們用我們的鄉談,講說 神的大作為。」both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

12眾人就都驚訝,彼此說:「這是甚麼意思呢?」Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13還有人說:「他們無非是灌滿了。」But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

14彼得和十一個使徒站起,高聲說:「猶太人和一切住在耶路撒冷的人哪,這件事你們當知道,也當側耳聽我的話。Then 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.

15你們想這些人是醉了;其實不是醉了,因為時候剛到。These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!

16這正是先知所說的:No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17神說:在末後的日子,我要將我的靈凡有血氣的。你們的兒女要說預言;你們的少年人要見異象;老年人要做異夢。‘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.

18在那些日子,我要將我的靈澆灌我的僕人和使女,他們就要說預言。Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

19在天上,我要顯出奇事;在地下,我要顯出神蹟;有血,有火,有煙霧。I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

20日頭要變為黑暗,月亮要變為血;這都在主大而明顯的日子未到以前。The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

21到那時候,凡求告主名的,就必得救。And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

22「以色列人哪,請聽我的話: 神藉著拿撒勒人耶穌在你們中間施行異能、奇事、神蹟,將他證明出來,這是你們自己知道的。Men 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.

23他既按著 神的被交與人,你們就藉著無法之人的手,把他釘在十字架上,殺了。He 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.

24神卻將死的痛苦了,叫他復活,因為他原不能被死拘禁。But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep Him in its grip.

25大衛指著他說:「我看見主常在我眼前;他在我右邊,叫我不至於搖動。David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

26所以,我心裡歡喜,我的靈(原文是舌)快樂;並且我的肉身要安居在指望中。Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

27因你必不將我的靈魂撇在,也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

28你已將生命的道路指示我,必叫我因見你的面(或譯:叫我在你面前)得著滿足的快樂。You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

29「弟兄們!先祖大衛的事,我可以明明地對你們說:他死了,也葬埋了,並且他的墳墓直到今日還在我們這裡。Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

30大衛既是先知,又曉得 神曾向他起誓,要從他的後裔中立一位坐在他的寶座上,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.

31就預先看明這事,講論基督復活說:他的靈魂不撇在陰間;他的肉身也不見朽壞。Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

32這耶穌, 神已經叫他復活了,我們都為這事作見證。God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

33他既被 神的右手高舉(或譯:他既高舉在 神的右邊),又從父受了所應許的聖靈,就把你們所看見所聽見的,澆灌下來。Exalted, 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.

34大衛並沒有升到天上,但自己說::你坐在我的右邊,For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

35等我使你仇敵作你的腳凳。until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

36「故此,以色列全家當確實地知道,你們釘在十字架上的這位耶穌, 神已經立他為主,為了。」Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

37眾人聽見這話,覺得,就對彼得和其餘的使徒說:「弟兄們,我們當怎樣行?」When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

38彼得說:「你們各人要悔改,奉耶穌基督的名,叫你們的罪得赦,就必領受所賜的聖靈;Peter 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.

39因為這應許是給你們和你們的兒女,並一切在遠方的人,就是主─我們 神所召來的。」This 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.”

40彼得還用許多話作見證,勸勉他們說:「你們當救自己脫離這。」With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”

41於是領受他話的人就受了洗。那一天,門徒約添了三千人,Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

42都恆心遵守使徒的教訓,彼此,,祈禱。They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

43眾人都懼怕;使徒又行了許多奇事神蹟。A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.

44信的人都在一處,,All the believers were together and had everything in common.

45並且賣了田產、家業,照各人所需用的分給各人。Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

46他們天天同心合意恆切地在殿裡,且在家中擘餅,存著歡喜、誠實的心用飯,With 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,

47讚美 神,得眾民的喜愛。主將得救的人天天加給他們。praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
