New Testament

Acts 2

1When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

και εν τω συμπληρουσθαι την ημεραν της πεντηκοστης ησαν απαντες ομοθυμαδον επι το αυτο.

2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

και εγενετο αφνω εκ του ουρανου ηχος ωσπερ φερομενης πνοης βιαιας, και επληρωσεν ολον τον οικον ου ησαν καθημενοι·

3Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

και ωφθησαν αυτοις διαμεριζομεναι γλωσσαι ωσει πυρος, εκαθισεν τε εφ ενα εκαστον αυτων,

4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

και επλησθησαν απαντες πνευματος αγιου, και ηρξαντο λαλειν ετεραις γλωσσαις καθως το πνευμα εδιδου αυτοις αποφθεγγεσθαι.

5And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.

ησαν δε εν ιερουσαλημ κατοικουντες ιουδαιοι, ανδρες ευλαβεις απο παντος εθνους των υπο τον ουρανον·

6And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.

γενομενης δε της φωνης ταυτης συνηλθεν το πληθος και συνεχυθη, οτι ηκουον εις εκαστος τη ιδια διαλεκτω λαλουντων αυτων.

7Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, 'Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?

εξισταντο δε παντες και εθαυμαζον λεγοντες προς αλληλους· ουκ ιδου παντες ουτοι εισιν οι λαλουντες γαλιλαιοι;

8And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?

και πως ημεις ακουομεν εκαστος τη ιδια διαλεκτω ημων εν η εγεννηθημεν,

9Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

παρθοι και μηδοι και ελαμιται, και οι κατοικουντες την μεσοποταμιαν, ιουδαιαν τε και καππαδοκιαν, ποντον και την ασιαν,

10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

φρυγιαν τε και παμφυλιαν, αιγυπτον και τα μερη της λιβυης της κατα κυρηνην, και οι επιδημουντες ρωμαιοι, ιουδαιοι τε και προσηλυτοι,

11Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.'

κρητες και αραβες, ακουομεν λαλουντων αυτων ταις ημετεραις γλωσσαις τα μεγαλεια του θεου;

12So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, 'Whatever could this mean?'

εξισταντο δε παντες και διηπορουν, αλλος προς αλλον λεγοντες· τι αν θελοι τουτο ειναι;

13Others mocking said, 'They are full of new wine.'

ετεροι δε χλευαζοντες ελεγον οτι γλευκους μεμεστωμενοι εισιν.

14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, 'Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words.

σταθεις δε πετρος συν τοις ενδεκα επηρεν την φωνην αυτου και απεφθεγξατο αυτοις· ανδρες ιουδαιοι και οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ απαντες, τουτο υμιν γνωστον εστω και ενωτισασθε τα ρηματα μου.

15For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.

ου γαρ, ως υμεις υπολαμβανετε, ουτοι μεθυουσιν· εστιν γαρ ωρα τριτη της ημερας·

16But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

αλλα τουτο εστιν το ειρημενον δια του προφητου ιωηλ·

17'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.

και εσται εν ταις εσχαταις ημεραις, λεγει ο θεος, εκχεω απο του πνευματος μου επι πασαν σαρκα, και προφητευσουσιν οι υιοι υμων και αι θυγατερες υμων, και οι νεανισκοι υμων ορασεις οψονται, και οι πρεσβυτεροι υμων ενυπνια ενυπνιασθησονται·

18And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.

και γε επι τους δουλους μου και επι τας δουλας μου εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις εκχεω απο του πνευματος μου, και προφητευσουσιν.

19I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

και δωσω τερατα εν τω ουρανω ανω και σημεια επι της γης κατω, αιμα και πυρ και ατμιδα καπνου·

20The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

ο ηλιος μεταστραφησεται εις σκοτος και η σεληνη εις αιμα πριν η ελθειν την ημεραν κυριου την μεγαλην και επιφανη.

21And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved.'

και εσται πας ος αν επικαλεσηται το ονομα κυριου σωθησεται.

22'Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—

ανδρες ισραηλιται, ακουσατε τους λογους τουτους. ιησουν τον ναζωραιον, ανδρα απο του θεου αποδεδειγμενον εις υμας δυναμεσιν και τερασιν και σημειοις οις εποιησεν δι αυτου ο θεος εν μεσω υμων, καθως και αυτοι οιδατε,

23Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;

τουτον τη ωρισμενη βουλη και προγνωσει του θεου εκδοτον λαβοντες, δια χειρων ανομων προσπηξαντες ανειλετε·

24whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

ον ο θεος ανεστησεν λυσας τας ωδινας του θανατου, καθοτι ουκ ην δυνατον κρατεισθαι αυτον υπ αυτου.

25For David says concerning Him: 'I foresaw the LORD always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.

δαυιδ γαρ λεγει εις αυτον· προωρωμην τον κυριον ενωπιον μου δια παντος, οτι εκ δεξιων μου εστιν ινα μη σαλευθω.

26Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.

δια τουτο ευφρανθη η καρδια μου και ηγαλλιασατο η γλωσσα μου, ετι δε και η σαρξ μου κατασκηνωσει επ ελπιδι,

27For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

οτι ουκ εγκαταλειψεις την ψυχην μου εις αδου ουδε δωσεις τον οσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν.

28You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.'

εγνωρισας μοι οδους ζωης, πληρωσεις με ευφροσυνης μετα του προσωπου σου.

29'Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

ανδρες αδελφοι, εξον ειπειν μετα παρρησιας προς υμας περι του πατριαρχου δαυιδ οτι και ετελευτησεν και εταφη και το μνημα αυτου εστιν εν ημιν αχρι της ημερας ταυτης.

30Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,

προφητης ουν υπαρχων, και ειδως οτι ορκω ωμοσεν αυτω ο θεος εκ καρπου της οσφυος αυτου το κατα σαρκα αναστησειν τον χριστον καθισαι επι του θρονου αυτου,

31he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.

προιδων ελαλησεν περι της αναστασεως του χριστου οτι ου κατελειφθη η ψυχη αυτου εις αδου ουδε η σαρξ αυτου ειδεν διαφθοραν.

32This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.

τουτον τον ιησουν ανεστησεν ο θεος, ου παντες ημεις εσμεν μαρτυρες.

33Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

τη δεξια ουν του θεου υψωθεις, την τε επαγγελιαν του αγιου πνευματος λαβων παρα του πατρος, εξεχεεν τουτο ο νυν υμεις βλεπετε και ακουετε.

34'For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: 'The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at My right hand,

ου γαρ δαυιδ ανεβη εις τους ουρανους, λεγει δε αυτος· ειπεν ο κυριος τω κυριω μου, καθου εκ δεξιων μου

35Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.' '

εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου.

36'Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.'

ασφαλως ουν γινωσκετω πας οικος ισραηλ οτι και κυριον και χριστον αυτον ο θεος εποιησεν, τουτον τον ιησουν ον υμεις εσταυρωσατε.

37Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, 'Men and brethren, what shall we do?'

ακουσαντες δε κατενυγησαν τη καρδια, ειπον τε προς τον πετρον και τους λοιπους αποστολους· τι ποιησομεν, ανδρες αδελφοι;

38Then Peter said to them, 'Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

πετρος δε εφη προς αυτους· μετανοησατε, και βαπτισθητω εκαστος υμων επι τω ονοματι ιησου χριστου εις αφεσιν αμαρτιων, και ληψεσθε την δωρεαν του αγιου πνευματος.

39For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.'

υμιν γαρ εστιν η επαγγελια και τοις τεκνοις υμων και πασιν τοις εις μακραν, οσους αν προσκαλεσηται κυριος ο θεος ημων.

40And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, 'Be saved from this perverse generation.'

ετεροις τε λογοις πλειοσιν διεμαρτυρετο και παρεκαλει λεγων· σωθητε απο της γενεας της σκολιας ταυτης.

41Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

οι μεν ουν ασμενως αποδεξαμενοι τον λογον αυτου εβαπτισθησαν, και προσετεθησαν τη ημερα εκεινη ψυχαι ωσει τρισχιλιαι.

42And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

ησαν δε προσκαρτερουντες τη διδαχη των αποστολων και τη κοινωνια και τη κλασει του αρτου και ταις προσευχαις.

43Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

εγενετο δε παση ψυχη φοβος, πολλα τε τερατα και σημεια δια των αποστολων εγινετο.

44Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,

παντες δε οι πιστευοντες ησαν επι το αυτο και ειχον απαντα κοινα,

45and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

και τα κτηματα και τας υπαρξεις επιπρασκον και διεμεριζον αυτα πασιν καθοτι αν τις χρειαν ειχεν·

46So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

καθ ημεραν τε προσκαρτερουντες ομοθυμαδον εν τω ιερω, κλωντες τε κατ οικον αρτον, μετελαμβανον τροφης εν αγαλλιασει και αφελοτητι καρδιας,

47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

αινουντες τον θεον και εχοντες χαριν προς ολον τον λαον. ο δε κυριος προσετιθει τους σωζομενους καθ ημεραν τη εκκλησια.
