VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et cum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes pariter in eodem loco :	1 When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together.
2 et factus est repente de cælo sonus, tamquam advenientis spiritus vehementis, et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes.	2 And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were.
3 Et apparuerunt illis dispertitæ linguæ tamquam ignis, seditque supra singulos eorum :	3 Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
4 et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et cœperunt loqui variis linguis, prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis.	4 And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
5 Erant autem in Jerusalem habitantes Judæi, viri religiosi ex omni natione quæ sub cælo est.	5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem.
6 Facta autem hac voce, convenit multitudo, et mente confusa est, quoniam audiebat unusquisque lingua sua illos loquentes.	6 At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes : Nonne ecce omnes isti qui loquuntur, Galilæi sunt ?	7 They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, "Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
8 et quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram in qua nati sumus ?	8 Then how does each of us hear them in his own native language?
9 Parthi, et Medi, et Ælamitæ, et qui habitant Mespotamiam, Judæam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam,	9 We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygiam, et Pamphyliam, Ægyptum, et partes Libyæ quæ est circa Cyrenen : et advenæ Romani,	10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome,
11 Judæi quoque, et Proselyti, Cretes, et Arabes : audivimus eos loquentes nostris linguis magnalia Dei.	11 both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God."
12 Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur ad invicem, dicentes : Quidnam vult hoc esse ?	12 They were all astounded and bewildered, and said to one another, "What does this mean?"
13 Alii autem irridentes dicebant : Quia musto pleni sunt isti.	13 But others said, scoffing, "They have had too much new wine."
14 Stans autem Petrus cum undecim, levavit vocem suam, et locutus est eis : Viri Judæi, et qui habitatis Jerusalem universi, hoc vobis notum sit, et auribus percipite verba mea.	14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, "You who are Jews, indeed all of you staying in Jerusalem. Let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 Non enim, sicut vos æstimatis, hi ebrii sunt, cum sit hora diei tertia :	15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning.
16 sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophetam Joël :	16 No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 Et erit in novissimis diebus, dicit Dominus, effundam de Spiritu meo super omnem carnem : et prophetabunt filii vestri et filiæ vestræ, et juvenes vestri visiones videbunt, et seniores vestri somnia somniabunt.	17 'It will come to pass in the last days,' God says, 'that I will pour out a portion of my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Et quidem super servos meos, et super ancillas meas, in diebus illis effundam de Spiritu meo, et prophetabunt :	18 Indeed, upon my servants and my handmaids I will pour out a portion of my spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy.
19 et dabo prodigia in cælo sursum, et signa in terra deorsum, sanguinem, et ignem, et vaporem fumi :	19 And I will work wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below: blood, fire, and a cloud of smoke.
20 sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus.	20 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and splendid day of the Lord,
21 Et erit : omnis quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.	21 and it shall be that everyone shall be saved who calls on the name of the Lord.'
22 Viri Israëlitæ, audite verba hæc : Jesum Nazarenum, virum approbatum a Deo in vobis, virtutibus, et prodigiis, et signis, quæ fecit Deus per illum in medio vestri, sicut et vos scitis :	22 You who are Israelites, hear these words. Jesus the Nazorean was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.
23 hunc, definito consilio et præscientia Dei traditum, per manus iniquorum affligentes interemistis :	23 This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him.
24 quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, juxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo.	24 But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
25 David enim dicit in eum : Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper : quoniam a dextris est mihi, ne commovear :	25 For David says of him: 'I saw the Lord ever before me, with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
26 propter hoc lætatum est cor meum, et exsultavit lingua mea, insuper et caro mea requiescet in spe :	26 Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted; my flesh, too, will dwell in hope,
27 quoniam non derelinques animam meam in inferno, nec dabis sanctum tuum videre corruptionem.	27 because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.
28 Notas mihi fecisti vias vitæ : et replebis me jucunditate cum facie tua.	28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.'
29 Viri fratres, liceat audenter dicere ad vos de patriarcha David, quoniam defunctus est, et sepultus : et sepulchrum ejus est apud nos usque in hodiernum diem.	29 My brothers, one can confidently say to you about the patriarch David that he died and was buried, and his tomb is in our midst to this day.
30 Propheta igitur cum esset, et sciret quia jurejurando jurasset illi Deus de fructu lumbi ejus sedere super sedem ejus :	30 But since he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne,
31 providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi, quia neque derelictus est in inferno, neque caro ejus vidit corruptionem.	31 he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that neither was he abandoned to the netherworld nor did his flesh see corruption.
32 Hunc Jesum resuscitavit Deus, cujus omnes nos testes sumus.	32 God raised this Jesus; of this we are all witnesses.
33 Dextera igitur Dei exaltatus, et promissione Spiritus Sancti accepta a Patre, effudit hunc, quem vos videtis et auditis.	33 Exalted at the right hand of God, he received the promise of the holy Spirit from the Father and poured it forth, as you (both) see and hear.
34 Non enim David ascendit in cælum : dixit autem ipse : Dixit Dominus Domino meo : Sede a dextris meis,	34 For David did not go up into heaven, but he himself said: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand
35 donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.	35 until I make your enemies your footstool."'
36 Certissime sciat ergo omnis domus Israël, quia et Dominum eum et Christum fecit Deus hunc Jesum, quem vos crucifixistis.	36 Therefore let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified."
37 His autem auditis, compuncti sunt corde, et dixerunt ad Petrum et ad reliquos Apostolos : Quid faciemus, viri fratres ?	37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?"
38 Petrus vero ad illos : Pœnitentiam, inquit, agite, et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Jesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum : et accipietis donum Spiritus Sancti.	38 Peter (said) to them, "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 Vobis enim est repromissio, et filiis vestris, et omnibus qui longe sunt, quoscumque advocaverit Dominus Deus noster.	39 For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call."
40 Aliis etiam verbis plurimis testificatus est, et exhortabatur eos, dicens : Salvamini a generatione ista prava.	40 He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
41 Qui ergo receperunt sermonem ejus, baptizati sunt : et appositæ sunt in die illa animæ circiter tria millia.	41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day.
42 Erant autem perseverantes in doctrina Apostolorum, et communicatione fractionis panis, et orationibus.	42 They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers.
43 Fiebat autem omni animæ timor : multa quoque prodigia et signa per Apostolos in Jerusalem fiebant, et metus erat magnus in universis.	43 Awe came upon everyone, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Omnes etiam qui credebant, erant pariter, et habebant omnia communia.	44 All who believed were together and had all things in common;
45 Possessiones et substantias vendebant, et dividebant illa omnibus, prout cuique opus erat.	45 they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one's need.
46 Quotidie quoque perdurantes unanimiter in templo, et frangentes circa domos panem, sumebant cibum cum exsultatione et simplicitate cordis,	46 Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart,
47 collaudantes Deum et habentes gratiam ad omnem plebem. Dominus autem augebat qui salvi fierent quotidie in idipsum.	47 praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
