Acts 2

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

1 五旬節到了，門徒都聚集在一處。

2 Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

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，

3 They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

3 又有舌頭如火焰顯現出來，分開落在他們各人頭上。

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

4 他們就都被聖靈充滿，按着聖靈所賜的口才說起別國的話來。

5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

5 那時，有虔誠的猶太人從天下各國來，住在耶路撒冷。

6 And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

6 這聲音一響，眾人都來聚集，各人聽見門徒用眾人的鄉談說話，就甚納悶；

7 Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

7 都驚訝希奇說：「看哪，這說話的不都是加利利人嗎？

8 How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

8 我們各人怎麼聽見他們說我們生來所用的鄉談呢？

9 Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

9 我們帕提亞人、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、

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,

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，或是進猶太教的人，

11 both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

11 克里特和阿拉伯人，都聽見他們用我們的鄉談，講說上帝的大作為。」

12 Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

12 眾人就都驚訝猜疑，彼此說：「這是甚麼意思呢？」

13 But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

13 還有人譏誚說：「他們無非是新酒灌滿了。」

14 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.

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。

15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!

15 你們想這些人是醉了；其實不是醉了，因為時候剛到巳初。

16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

16 這正是先知約珥所說的：

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.

17 上帝說：在末後的日子， 我要將我的靈澆灌凡有血氣的。 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。

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

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。

19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

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。

20 The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

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。

21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

21 到那時候， 凡求告主名的，就必得救。

22 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.

22 「以色列人哪，請聽我的話：上帝藉着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。

23 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.

23 他既按着上帝的定旨先見被交與人，你們就藉着無法之人的手，把他釘在十字架上，殺了。

24 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.

24 上帝卻將死的痛苦解釋了，叫他復活，因為他原不能被死拘禁。

25 David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

25 大衛指着他說： 我看見主常在我眼前； 他在我右邊，叫我不至於搖動。

26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

26 所以，我心裏歡喜， 我的靈 快樂； 並且我的肉身要安居在指望中。

27 because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

27 因你必不將我的靈魂撇在陰間， 也不叫你的聖者見朽壞。

28 You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

28 你已將生命的道路指示我， 必叫我因見你的面 得着滿足的快樂。

29 Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

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裏。

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.

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

31 Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

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。

32 God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

32 這耶穌，上帝已經叫他復活了，我們都為這事作見證。

33 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.

33 他既被上帝的右手高舉 ，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。

34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

34 大衛並沒有升到天上，但自己說： 主對我主說： 你坐在我的右邊，

35 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

35 等我使你仇敵作你的腳凳。

36 Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

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，上帝已經立他為主，為基督了。」

37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

37 眾人聽見這話，覺得扎心，就對彼得和其餘的使徒說：「弟兄們，我們當怎樣行？」

38 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.

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

39 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.”

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－我們上帝所召來的。」

40 With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”

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彎曲的世代。」

41 Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

41 於是領受他話的人就受了洗。那一天，門徒約添了三千人，

42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

42 都恆心遵守使徒的教訓，彼此交接，擘餅，祈禱。

43 A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.

43 眾人都懼怕；使徒又行了許多奇事神蹟。

44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.

44 信的人都在一處，凡物公用，

45 Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

45 並且賣了田產、家業，照各人所需用的分給各人。

46 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,

46 他們天天同心合意恆切地在殿裏，且在家中擘餅，存着歡喜、誠實的心用飯，

47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

47 讚美上帝，得眾民的喜愛。主將得救的人天天加給他們。
