Acts 2:15-19 in English

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:

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 was spoken by the prophet Joel;

¹⁷ And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, 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 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:

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 by 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 shew wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

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.

¹⁵ For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.

¹⁶ But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷ ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸ Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens 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 beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

¹⁵ For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.

¹⁶ But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷ ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸ Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens 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 beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

¹⁵ For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.

¹⁶ But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷ ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸ Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens 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 beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

¹⁵ For these men are not overcome with wine, as it seems to you, for it is only the third hour of the day;

¹⁶ But this is the thing which was said by the prophet Joel;

¹⁷ And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

¹⁸ And on my men-servants and my women-servants I will send my Spirit, and they will be prophets.

¹⁹ And wonders will be seen in heaven, and signs on the earth, blood and fire and smoke:

¹⁵ for these are not full of wine, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day;

¹⁶ but this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel,

¹⁷ And it shall be in the last days, saith God, that 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 elders shall dream with dreams;

¹⁸ yea, even upon my bondmen and upon my bondwomen in those days will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

¹⁹ And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

¹⁵ For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day:

¹⁶ But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel:

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 And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy.

¹⁹ And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke.

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

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

¹⁷ ‘ “And it shall be in the last days,” says God, “that I will pour out My Spirit on 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 and on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

¹⁹ And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

¹⁵ Because these are not drunk, as you suppose (since it is only the third hour of the day),

¹⁶ but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷ ‘It will be in the last days, says God: I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and your daughters will prophesy; your young men will see visions; your old men will dream a dream.

¹⁸ In those days I will indeed pour out from my Spirit upon my male slaves and upon my female slaves, and they will prophesy.

¹⁹ I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and smoke vapor.

¹⁵ These men aren't drunk as you presume. It's only nine in the morning!

¹⁶ What's happening is what was predicted by the prophet Joel:

¹⁷ God says, ‘In the last days I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸ I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, both male and female, and they will prophesy.

¹⁹ I will also give you miraculous signs in the heavens above and on the earth below—blood, fire, and swirling smoke!

¹⁵ For these are not drunken, as yee suppose, since it is but the third houre of the day.

¹⁶ But this is that, which was spoken by the Prophet Ioel,

¹⁷ And it shalbe in the last daies, saith God, I wil powre out of my Spirite vpon al flesh, and your sonnes, and your daughters shall prophecie, and your yong men shall see visions, and your old men shall dreame dreames.

¹⁸ And on my seruauntes, and on mine handmaides I will powre out of my Spirite in those daies, and they shall prophecie.

¹⁹ And I wil shew wonders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and the vapour of smoke.

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 was spoken by the prophet Joel;

¹⁷ And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, 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 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:

¹⁵ For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; for it is the third hour of the day;

¹⁶ but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel,

¹⁷ “It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams;

¹⁸ and even on my servants, and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

¹⁹ And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;

¹⁵ These people are not drunk, as you suppose; for it is only now nine in the morning! No!

¹⁶ This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel —

¹⁷ ‘It will come about in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; Your sons and your daughters will become prophets, Your young men will see visions, And your old men dream dreams;

¹⁸ Yes, even on the slaves — for they are mine — both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit, And they will become prophets;

¹⁹ And I will show wonders in the heavens above, And signs on the earth below — Blood and fire and mist of smoke;

¹⁵ These people are not drunk, as you suppose; for it is only now nine in the morning! No!

¹⁶ This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel —

¹⁷ ‘It will come about in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; Your sons and your daughters will become prophets, Your young men will see visions, And your old men dream dreams;

¹⁸ Yes, even on the slaves — for they are mine — both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit, And they will become prophets;

¹⁹ And I will show wonders in the heavens above, And signs on the earth below — Blood and fire and mist of smoke;

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.”

¹⁵ These are not dronken as ye suppose: for it is yet but the thyrde houre of the daye.

¹⁶ But this is that which was spoken by the Prophete Iohel:

¹⁷ It shalbe in the last dayes sayth God: of my sprete I will powre out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes and youre doughters shall prophesy and youre yoge men shall se visions and youre olde me shall dreme dremes.

¹⁸ And on my servauts and on my honde maydens I will powre out of my sprete in those dayes and they shall prophesye.

¹⁹ And I will shewe wonders in heaven a bove and tokens in the erth benethe bloud and fyre and the vapour of smoke.

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

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

¹⁷ 'It will be in the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

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.

¹⁵ For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.

¹⁶ But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷ ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸ Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens 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 beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

¹⁵ For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.

¹⁶ But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷ ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸ Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens 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 beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

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 was spoken by the prophet Joel,

¹⁷ And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, 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 And on my servants, and on my hand-maidens I will, in those days, pour out of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

¹⁹ And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.

¹⁵ For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.

¹⁶ But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷ ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸ Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens 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 beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

¹⁵ For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.

¹⁶ But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷ ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁸ Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens 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 beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

¹⁵ For not as ye ween or as ye guess, these be drunken, when it is the third hour of the day;

¹⁶ but this it is, that was said by the prophet Joel,

¹⁷ And it shall be in the last days, the Lord saith, I shall pour out my Spirit on each flesh or on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elders shall dream swevens.

¹⁸ And on my servants and on mine handmaidens in those days I shall pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

¹⁹ And I shall give great wonders in heaven above, and signs in earth beneath, blood, and fire, and heat or vapour of smoke.

¹⁵ For not as ye ween or not as ye guess, these be drunken, when it is the third hour of the day; (For it is not as ye think, that these be drunk, when it is but nine o’clock in the morning;)

¹⁶ but this it is, that was said by the prophet Joel,

¹⁷ And it shall be in the last days, the Lord saith, I shall pour out my Spirit on each flesh or I shall pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elders shall dream swevens (or your old men shall dream dreams).

¹⁸ And on my servants and on mine handmaidens in those days I shall pour out (a portion) of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

¹⁹ And I shall give great wonders in (the) heaven(s) above, and signs in (or on the) earth beneath, blood, and fire, and heat or vapour of smoke.

¹⁵ for these are not drunken, as ye take it up, for it is 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 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 and also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants, in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

¹⁹ and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath — blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke,
