Acts of the Apostles 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLIA
1 And when the days of Pentecost were completed, they were all together in the same place.	1 Al llegar el día de Pentecostés, estaban todos reunidos en un mismo lugar.
2 And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, like that of a wind approaching violently, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.	2 De repente vino del cielo un ruido como el de una ráfaga de viento impetuoso, que llenó toda la casa en la que se encontraban.
3 And there appeared to them separate tongues, as if of fire, which settled upon each one of them.	3 Se les aparecieron unas lenguas como de fuego que se repartieron y se posaron sobre cada uno de ellos;
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they began to speak in various languages, just as the Holy Spirit bestowed eloquence to them.	4 quedaron todos llenos del Espíritu Santo y se pusieron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu les concedía expresarse.
5 Now there were Jews staying in Jerusalem, pious men from every nation that is under heaven.	5 Había en Jerusalén hombres piadosos, que allí residían, venidos de todas las naciones que hay bajo el cielo.
6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together and was confused in mind, because each one was listening to them speaking in his own language.	6 Al producirse aquel ruido la gente se congregó y se llenó de estupor al oírles hablar cada uno en su propia lengua.
7 Then all were astonished, and they wondered, saying: “Behold, are not all of these who are speaking Galileans?	7 Estupefactos y admirados decían: «¿Es que no son galileos todos estos que están hablando?
8 And how is it that we have each heard them in our own language, into which we were born?	8 Pues ¿cómo cada uno de nosotros les oímos en nuestra propia lengua nativa?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,	9 Partos, medos y elamitas; habitantes de Mesopotamia, Judea, Capadocia, el Ponto, Asia,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya which are around Cyrene, and new arrivals of the Romans,	10 Frigia, Panfilia, Egipto, la parte de Libia fronteriza con Cirene, forasteros romanos,
11 likewise Jews and new converts, Cretans and Arabs: we have heard them speaking in our own languages the mighty deeds of God.”	11 judíos y prosélitos, cretenses y árabes, todos les oímos hablar en nuestra lengua las maravillas de Dios».
12 And they were all astonished, and they wondered, saying to one another: “But what does this mean?”	12 Todos estaban estupefactos y perplejos y se decían unos a otros: «¿Qué significa esto?»
13 But others mockingly said, “These men are full of new wine.”	13 Otros en cambio decían riéndose: «¡Están llenos de mosto!»
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and he spoke to them: “Men of Judea, and all those who are staying in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and incline your ears to my words.	14 Entonces Pedro, presentándose con los Once, levantó su voz y les dijo: «Judíos y habitantes todos de Jerusalén: Que os quede esto bien claro y prestad atención a mis palabras:
15 For these men are not inebriated, as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.	15 No están éstos borrachos, como vosotros suponéis, pues es la hora tercia del día,
16 But this is what was spoken of by the prophet Joel:	16 sino que es lo que dijo el profeta:
17 ‘And this shall be: in the last days, says the Lord, I will pour out, from my Spirit, upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. And your youths shall see visions, and your elders shall dream dreams.	17 Sucederá en los últimos días, dice Dios: Derramaré mi Espíritu sobre toda carne, y profetizarán vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas; vuestros jóvenes verán visiones y vuestros ancianos soñarán sueños.
18 And certainly, upon my men and women servants in those days, I will pour out from my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.	18 Y yo sobre mis siervos y sobre mis siervas derramaré mi Espíritu.
19 And I will bestow wonders in heaven above, and signs on earth below: blood and fire and the vapor of smoke.	19 Haré prodigios arriba en el cielo y señales abajo en la tierra.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord arrives.	20 El sol se convertirá en tinieblas, y la luna en sangre, antes de que llegue el Día grande del Señor.
21 And this shall be: whoever shall invoke the name of the Lord will be saved.’	21 Y todo el que invoque el nombre del Señor se salvará.
22 Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene is a man confirmed by God among you through the miracles and wonders and signs that God accomplished through him in your midst, just as you also know.	22 «Israelitas, escuchad estas palabras: A Jesús, el Nazoreo, hombre acreditado por Dios entre vosotros con milagros, prodigios y señales que Dios hizo por su medio entre vosotros, como vosotros mismos sabéis,
23 This man, under the definitive plan and foreknowledge of God, was delivered by the hands of the unjust, afflicted, and put to death.	23 a éste, que fue entregado según el determinado designio y previo conocimiento de Dios, vosotros le matasteis clavándole en la cruz por mano de los impíos;
24 And he whom God has raised up has broken the sorrows of Hell, for certainly it was impossible for him to be held by it.	24 a éste, pues, Dios le resucitó librándole de los dolores del Hades, pues no era posible que quedase bajo su dominio;
25 For David said about him: ‘I foresaw the Lord always in my sight, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved.	25 porque dice de él David: Veía constantemente al Señor delante de mí, puesto que está a mi derecha, para que no vacile.
26 Because of this, my heart has rejoiced, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, my flesh shall also rest in hope.	26 Por eso se ha alegrado mi corazón y se ha alborozado mi lengua, y hasta mi carne reposará en la esperanza
27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.	27 de que no abandonarás mi alma en el Hades ni permitirás que tu santo experimente la corrupción.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life. You will completely fill me with happiness by your presence.’	28 Me has hecho conocer caminos de vida, me llenarás de gozo con tu rostro.
29 Noble brothers, permit me to speak freely to you about the Patriarch David: for he passed away and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us, even to this very day.	29 «Hermanos, permitidme que os diga con toda libertad cómo el patriarca David murió y fue sepultado y su tumba permanece entre nosotros hasta el presente.
30 Therefore, he was a prophet, for he knew that God had sworn an oath to him about the fruit of his loins, about the One who would sit upon his throne.	30 Pero como él era profeta y sabía que Dios le había asegurado con juramento que se sentaría en su trono un descendiente de su sangre,
31 Foreseeing this, he was speaking about the Resurrection of the Christ. For he was neither left behind in Hell, nor did his flesh see corruption.	31 vio a lo lejos y habló de la resurrección de Cristo, que ni fue abandonado en el Hades ni su carne experimentó la corrupción.
32 This Jesus, God raised up again, and of this we are all witnesses.	32 A este Jesús Dios le resucitó; de lo cual todos nosotros somos testigos.
33 Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the Promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured this out, just as you now see and hear.	33 Y exaltado por la diestra de Dios, ha recibido del Padre el Espíritu Santo prometido y ha derramado lo que vosotros veis y oís.
34 For David did not ascend into heaven. But he himself said: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand,	34 Pues David no subió a los cielos y sin embargo dice: Dijo el Señor a mi Señor: Siéntate a mi diestra
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.’	35 hasta que ponga a tus enemigos por escabel de tus pies.
36 Therefore, may the entire house of Israel know most certainly that God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”	36 «Sepa, pues, con certeza toda la casa de Israel que Dios ha constituido Señor y Cristo a este Jesús a quien vosotros habéis crucificado».
37 Now when they had heard these things, they were contrite in heart, and they said to Peter and to the other Apostles: “What should we do, noble brothers?”	37 Al oír esto, dijeron con el corazón compungido a Pedro y a los demás apóstoles: «¿Qué hemos de hacer, hermanos?»
38 Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.	38 Pedro les contestó: «Convertíos y que cada uno de vosotros se haga bautizar en el nombre de Jesucristo, para remisión de vuestros pecados; y recibiréis el don del Espíritu Santo;
39 For the Promise is for you and for your sons, and for all who are far away: for whomever the Lord our God will have called.”	39 pues la Promesa es para vosotros y para vuestros hijos, y para todos los que están lejos, para cuantos llame el Señor Dios nuestro».
40 And then, with very many other words, he testified and he exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this depraved generation.”	40 Con otras muchas palabras les conjuraba y les exhortaba: «Salvaos de esta generación perversa».
41 Therefore, those who accepted his discourse were baptized. And about three thousand souls were added on that day.	41 Los que acogieron su Palabra fueron bautizados. Aquel día se les unieron unas 3.000 almas.
42 Now they were persevering in the doctrine of the Apostles, and in the communion of the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers.	42 Acudían asiduamente a la enseñanza de los apóstoles, a la comunión, a la fracción del pan y a las oraciones.
43 And fear developed in every soul. Also, many miracles and signs were accomplished by the Apostles in Jerusalem. And there was a great awe in everyone.	43 El temor se apoderaba de todos, pues los apóstoles realizaban muchos prodigios y señales.
44 And then all who believed were together, and they held all things in common.	44 Todos los creyentes vivían unidos y tenían todo en común;
45 They were selling their possessions and belongings, and dividing them to all, just as any of them had need.	45 vendían sus posesiones y sus bienes y repartían el precio entre todos, según la necesidad de cada uno.
46 Also, they continued, daily, to be of one accord in the temple and to break bread among the houses; and they took their meals with exultation and simplicity of heart,	46 Acudían al Templo todos los días con perseverancia y con un mismo espíritu, partían el pan por las casas y tomaban el alimento con alegría y sencillez de corazón.
47 praising God greatly, and holding favor with all the people. And every day, the Lord increased those who were being saved among them.	47 Alababan a Dios y gozaban de la simpatía de todo el pueblo. El Señor agregaba cada día a la comunidad a los que se habían de salvar.
