STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וּבְיוֹם מְלֹאת שִׁבְעַת הַשָּׁבֻעוֹת וַיִּתְאַסְּפוּ כֻלָּם לֵב אֶחָד	1 And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:
2 וַיְהִי פִתְאֹם קוֹל רַעַשׁ מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם כְּקוֹל רוּחַ סְעָרָה וַיְמַלֵּא אֶת־כָּל־הַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר יָשְׁבוּ בוֹ	2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 וַתֵּרָאֶינָה אֲלֵיהֶם לְשֹׁנוֹת נֶחֱלָקוֹת וּמַרְאֵיהֶן כָּאֵשׁ וַתְּנוּחֶינָה אַחַת אַחַת עַל כָּל־אֶחָד מֵהֶם	3 And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:
4 וַיִּמָּלְאוּ כֻלָּם רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְדַבֵּר בִּלְשֹׁנוֹת אֲחֵרוֹת כַּאֲשֶׁר נְתָנָם הָרוּחַ לְהַטִּיף	4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.
5 וּבִירוּשָׁלַיִם שָׁכְנוּ יְהוּדִים אַנְשֵׁי חֶסֶד מִכָּל־גּוֹי וָגוֹי אֲשֶׁר תַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם	5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 וַיְהִי בִּהְיוֹת קוֹל הָרַעַשׁ הַהוּא וַיִּקָּבְצוּ עַם־רָב וַיִּהְיוּ נְבֻכִים כִּי־אִישׁ אִישׁ שֹׁמֵעַ אֹתָם מְדַבְּרִים בִּשְׂפַת עַמּוֹ	6 And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue.
7 וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ וַיִּתְמְהוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ הִנֵּה כָּל־אֵלֶּה הַמְדַבְּרִים הֲלֹא גְלִילִים הֵמָּה	7 And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these, that speak, Galileans?
8 וְאֵיךְ אֲנַחְנוּ שֹׁמְעִים אֹתָם אִישׁ כִּשְׂפַת־אֶרֶץ מוֹלַדְתֵּנוּ	8 And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born?
9 פַּרְתִּיִּים וּמָדִים וְעֵילָמִים וְישְׁבֵי אֲרַם נַהֲרָיִם יְהוּדָה וְקַפּוּדְקִיָּה פָּנְטוֹס וְאַסְיָא	9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 פְּרוּגְיָא וּפַמְפּוּלְיָא מִצְרַיִם וְחֶבֶל לוּב אֲשֶׁר עַל־יַד קוּרִינִי וְהַבָּאִים מֵרוֹמִי גַּם־יְהוּדִים גַּם־גֵּרִים	10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome,
11 כְּרֵתִים וְעַרְבִים הִנֵּה אֲנַחְנוּ שֹׁמְעִים אֹתָם מְסַפְּרִים בִּלְשֹׁנוֹתֵינוּ גְּדֻלּוֹת הָאֱלֹהִים	11 Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ כֻלָּם וַיִּבָּהֵלוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו מַה־תִּהְיֶה זֹאת	12 And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another: What meaneth this?
13 וַאֲחֵרִים לָעֲגוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ כִּי־מְלֵאֵי עָסִיס הֵמָּה	13 But others mocking, said: These men are full of new wine.
14 אָז יַעֲמֹד פֶּטְרוֹס וְאַחַד הֶעָשָׂר עִמּוֹ וַיִּשָּׂא אֶת־קוֹלוֹ וַיְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם אַנְשֵׁי יְהוּדָה וְישְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלַיִם כֻּלְּכֶם זֹאת תִּוָּדַע לָכֶם וְהַאֲזִינוּ אֶל־דְּבָרָי	14 But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words.
15 כִּי אֵלֶּה לֹא שִׁכּוֹרִים הֵמָּה כַּאֲשֶׁר חֲשַׁבְתֶּם כִּי שָׁעָה שְׁלִישִׁית בַּיּוֹם עָתָּה	15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day:
16 אֲבָל זֶה הוּא הָאָמוּר עַל־יְדֵי יוֹאֵל הַנָּבִיא	16 But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel:
17 וְהָיָה בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים נְאֻם אֱלֹהִים אֶשְׁפֹּךְ אֶת־רוּחִי עַל־כָּל־בָּשָׂר וְנִבְּאוּ בְּנֵיכֶם וּבְנֹתֵיכֶם וּבַחוּרֵיכֶם חֶזְיֹנוֹת יִרְאוּ וְזִקְנֵיכֶם חֲלֹמוֹת יַחֲלֹמוּן	17 And it shall come to pass, in the last days, (saith the Lord,) I will pour out 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.
18 וְגַם עַל־עֲבָדַי וְעַל־שִׁפְחוֹתַי בַּיָּמִים הָהֵמָּה אֶשְׁפֹּךְ אֶת־רוּחִי וְנִבָּאוּ	18 And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 וְנָתַתִּי מוֹפְתִים בַּשָּׁמַיִם מִמַּעַל וְאֹתוֹת בָּאָרֶץ מִתָּחַת דָּם וָאֵשׁ וְתִימְרוֹת עָשָׁן	19 And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke.
20 הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵהָפֵךְ לְחשֶׁךְ וְהַיָּרֵחַ לְדָם לִפְנֵי בּוֹא יוֹם יְהוָֹה הַגָּדוֹל וְהַנּוֹרָא	20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord come.
21 וְהָיָה כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־יִקְרָא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָֹה יִמָּלֵט	21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
22 אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׁמְעוּ הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה יֵשׁוּעַ הַנָּצְרִי הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר נֶאֱמַן לָכֶם מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים בִּגְבוּרוֹת וּבְמוֹפְתִים וּבְאֹתוֹת אֲשֶׁר הָאֱלֹהִים עָשָׂה עַל־יָדוֹ בְּתוֹכֲכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר יְדַעְתֶּם גַּם־אַתֶּם	22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know:
23 אֹתוֹ הַנִּמְסָר עַל־פִּי עֲצַת הָאֱלֹהִים הַנֶּחֱרָצָה וִידִיעָתוֹ מִקֶּדֶם לְקַחְתֶּם וּבִידֵי רְשָׁעִים הוֹקַעְתֶּם וַהֲרַגְתֶּם אֹתוֹ	23 This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.
24 וְהָאֱלֹהִים הֱקִימוֹ מִן־הַמֵּתִים בְּהַתִּיר אֶת־חֶבְלֵי הַמָּוֶת בַּאֲשֶׁר נִמְנַע מִן־הַמָּוֶת לַעֲצֹר אֹתוֹ	24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.
25 כִּי־דָוִד אֹמֵר עָלָיו שִׁוִּיתִי יְהוָֹה לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִיד כִּי מִימִינִי בַּל־אֶמּוֹט	25 For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.
26 לָכֵן שָׂמַח לִבִּי וַיָּגֶל כְּבוֹדִי אַף־בְּשָׂרִי יִשְׁכֹּן לָבֶטַח	26 For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
27 כִּי לֹא־תַעֲזֹב נַפְשִׁי לִשְׁאוֹל לֹא־תִתֵּן חֲסִידְךָ לִרְאוֹת שָׁחַת	27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
28 תּוֹדִיעֵנִי אָרְחוֹת חַיִּים שׂבַע שְׂמָחוֹת אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ	28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים הַנִּיחוּ לִי וַאֲדַבְּרָה בְּאָזְנֵי כֻלְּכֶם עַל־דָּוִד אָבִינוּ אֲשֶׁר גַּם־מֵת גַּם־נִקְבַּר וּקְבוּרָתוֹ אִתָּנוּ הִיא עַד־הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה	29 Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.
30 וְהוּא בִּהְיוֹתוֹ נָבִיא וּמִדַּעְתּוֹ אֶת־הַשְּׁבוּעָה אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים לְהָקִים אֶת־הַמָּשִׁיחַ כְּפִי הַבָּשָׂר מִפְּרִי חֲלָצָיו לְהוֹשִׁיבוֹ עַל־כִּסְאוֹ	30 Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.
31 לָכֵן בַּחֲזוֹתוֹ מֵרֹאשׁ דִּבֶּר עַל־תְּקוּמַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ כִּי לֹא־נֶעֶזְבָה נַפְשׁוֹ לִשְׁאוֹל וְגַם־בְּשָׂרוֹ לֹא־רָאָה שָׁחַת	31 Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.
32 אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ זֶה הֵקִים אֱלֹהִים מִן־הַמֵּתִים וַאֲנַחְנוּ כֻלָּנוּ עֵדָיו	32 This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.
33 וְעַתָּה אַחֲרֵי הִנָּשְׂאוֹ בִּימִין הָאֱלֹהִים לָקַח מֵאֵת הָאָב אֶת־הַבְטָחַת רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַיִּשְׁפֹּךְ אֶת־אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רֹאִים וְשֹׁמְעִים	33 Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.
34 כִּי דָוִד לֹא עָלָה הַשָּׁמָיְמָה וְהִנֵּה הוּא אֹמֵר נְאֻם־יְהוָֹה לַאדֹנִי שֵׁב לִימִינִי	34 For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
35 עַד־אָשִׁית אֹיְבֶיךָ הֲדֹם לְרַגְלֶיךָ	35 Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
36 לָכֵן יֵדַע־נָא בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל כֻּלּוֹ כִּי לְאָדוֹן וּלְמָשִׁיחַ שָׂמוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ זֶה אֲשֶׁר צְלַבְתֶּם	36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.
37 וַיְהִי כְשָׁמְעָם הִתְעַצְּבוּ אֶל־לִבָּם וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־פֶּטְרוֹס וְאֶל־שְׁאָר הַשְּׁלִיחִים אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים מֶה עָלֵינוּ לַעֲשֹוֹת	37 Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?
38 וַיֹּאמֶר פֶּטְרוֹס אֲלֵיהֶם שׁוּבוּ מִדַּרְכֵיכֶם וְהִטָּבְלוּ כָּל־אִישׁ מִכֶּם עַל־שֵׁם יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ לִסְלִיחַת חֲטָאֵיכֶם וְקִבַּלְתֶּם אֶת־מַתְּנַת רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ	38 But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 כִּי לָכֶם הַהַבְטָחָה וְלִבְנֵיכֶם וּלְכֹל הָרְחוֹקִים לְכָל־אֲשֶׁר קֹרֵא יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֵינוּ	39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.
40 וַיָּעַד עוֹד בָּהֶם בַּאֲמָרִים אֲחֵרִים הַרְבֵּה וַיַּזְהֵר אֹתָם לֵאמֹר הִמָּלְטוּ נָא מִדּוֹר תַּהְפֻּכוֹת הַזֶּה	40 And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
41 וַיְקַבְּלוּ אֶת־דְּבָרוֹ בְּשִׂמְחָה וַיִּטָּבֵלוּ וּבַיּוֹם הַהוּא נוֹסְפוּ כִּשְׁלשֶׁת אַלְפֵי נָפֶשׁ	41 They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
42 וַיִּהְיוּ שֹׁקְדִים עַל־תּוֹרַת הַשְּׁלִיחִים וְעַל־הַהִתְחַבְּרוּת וְעַל־בְּצִיעַת הַלֶּחֶם וְעַל־הַתְּפִלָּה	42 And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 וַתִּפֹּל אֵימָה עַל־כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ וּמוֹפְתִים רַבִּים וְאֹתוֹת נַעֲשֹוּ עַל־יְדֵי הַשְּׁלִיחִים בִּירוּשָׁלָיִם וְאֵימָה גְדוֹלָה הָיְתָה עַל־כֻּלָּם	43 And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all.
44 וְכָל־הַמַּאֲמִינִים הִתְאַחֲדוּ יָחַד וַיְהִי־לָהֶם הַכֹּל בְּשֻׁתָּפוּת	44 And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common.
45 וְאֶת־אֲחֻזָּתָם וְאֶת־רְכוּשָׁם מָכְרוּ וַיְחַלְּקוּ אֹתָם לְכֻלָּם לְאִישׁ אִישׁ דֵּי מַחְסוֹרוֹ	45 Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.
46 וְיוֹם יוֹם הָיוּ שֹׁקְדִים בַּמִּקְדָשׁ לֵב אֶחָד וַיִּבְצְעוּ אֶת־הַלֶּחֶם בַּבַּיִת בַּבָּיִת	46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart;
47 וַיֹּאכְלוּ מְזוֹנָם בְּגִילָה וּבְתֹם לֵבָב וַיְשַׁבְּחוּ אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים וַיִּמְצְאוּ חֵן בְּעֵינֵי כָל־הָעָם וְהָאָדוֹן הוֹסִיף יוֹם יוֹם עַל־הָעֵדָה אֶת־הַנּוֹשָׁעִים	47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved.
