Acts 2:12-22 in American Standard Version (1901)

12 And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, saying, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words.
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is but the third hour of the day;
16 but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth 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 Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable day:
21 And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know;

18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

Acts 2:12-22 in Translation for Translators

12 All those people were amazed, and did not know what to think about what was happening. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 But some of them ◄made fun of/laughed at► those who believed in Jesus. They said, “ These people are talking like this because they are drunk!”
14 So Peter stood up with the other eleven apostles and spoke loudly to the crowd of people, saying, “ My fellow Jews and you others who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
15 Some of you think that we(exc) are drunk , but we are not drunk. It is only nine o'clock in the morning, and people here never get drunk this early in the day!
16 Instead, what has happened to us is the miraculous thing that the prophet Joel wrote about long ago. Joel wrote: God says,
17 ‘During the last/final days before I judge all people, I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people SYN everywhere. As a result, your sons and daughters will tell people messages from me, the young men among you will see visions from me, and the old men among you will have dreams that I will give them.
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit even to men and women believers who are my slaves/servants, so they can tell people messages from me.
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show that I am powerful. Here on the earth CHI I will cause wars with blood, fire and thick/dark smoke everywhere.
20 In the sky the sun will appear dark to people and the moon will appear red to them. Those things will happen before the important and splendid/amazing day MTY when I, the Lord God, will come to judge everyone.
21 Before that time, all those who ask me MTY to save them from the guilt of their sins will be saved { I, the Lord, will save all those who ask me MTY to save them from the guilt of their sins.}’”
22 Peter continued , “ My fellow Israelites, listen to me! When Jesus from Nazareth town lived among you, God proved to you that he had sent him by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know that this is true .

Acts 2:12-22 in Plain English Version

12 Those people were shocked and they didn’t understand. They asked each other, “What does this mean?”
13 But some people laughed and made fun of Jesus’s followers. They said, “That mob are drunk. They drank too much sweet wine.”
14 Then Peter got up to talk to those people. The 11 other close followers of Jesus got up too. Peter said, in a loud voice, “All you mob that are Jews that live in Jerusalem, listen to me properly now and I’ll tell you the true story.
15 You reckon we are drunk, but no, we are not drunk. It is only 9 o’clock in the morning, too early for anyone to get drunk.
16 But a long time ago God told his man called Joel to write about what is happening here now, and it is in God’s book. He wrote,
17 ‘God said, “In the last days, before I judge everybody, I will give my Holy Spirit to everyone. I will give my spirit to your sons and daughters and they will tell other people the things that I tell them to say. Your young men will see the special things that I will show them, and your old men will dream about the special things I want them to know.
18 I will even give my Holy Spirit to all my workers, men and women, and they will tell other people the things that I tell them to say.”
19 But first God will do powerful things in the sky that will shock everyone. The sun will turn dark and the moon will turn red like blood. And God will do powerful things on the earth too. People will fight each other, and there will be fire and big smoke. But, at that time, God will save everybody that calls to him and asks him to save them. Then God’s really great and special day will come, and he will judge everybody.’ Joel wrote that in God’s book.”
22 Peter kept on talking. He said, “All you mob, listen to me. The man from Nazareth, called Jesus, was a very special man. God helped him to do great and powerful things to show you that he is really special. You mob saw Jesus doing those things right here in front of your eyes. But you grabbed him and you gave him to bad men that don’t know God, and they killed him on a cross. But you see, a long time ago God already knew everything you were going to do, and he planned to let you do it a long time before you did it.

13 But others mocked and said, “They are full of new wine.”

15 For these people are not drunk as you assume, for it is only the third hour of the day.

18 Also on my servants and my female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below, blood, fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and remarkable day of the Lord comes.
21 It will be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'
22 Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man accredited to you by God by the mighty deeds, the wonders, and the signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.
