Deeds (Act) of Apostles 2:23-43

²³ye tormented, and killed him by the hands of wicked men, by counsel determined and betaken by the fore-knowing or by the prescience of God. (ye tormented, and killed him by the hands of wicked men, delivered up by the predetermined plan and in the foreknowledge of God.)

²⁴Whom God raised, when the sorrows of hell were unbound, by that that it was impossible that he were holden of it (or because it was impossible that he would be held by it).

²⁵For David saith of him, I saw afar the Lord before me (for)evermore, for he is on my right half, that I be not moved. (For David said of him, I saw the Lord always before me, for he is on my right side, or at my right hand, so that I shall not be moved.)

²⁶For this thing mine heart joyed, and my tongue made full out joy or gladded, and moreover my flesh shall rest in hope.

²⁷For thou shalt not leave my soul in hell, neither thou shalt give thine Holy (One) to see corruption.

²⁸Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt full-fill me with mirth with thy face (or thou shalt fill me full of joy by thy presence).

²⁹Brethren, be it leaveful boldly to say to you of the patriarch David, for he is dead and buried, and his sepulchre is among us into this day. (Brothers, may it be lawful for me to boldly say this to you about the patriarch David, that he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us unto this day.)

³⁰Therefore when he was a prophet, and knew, that with a great oath God had sworn to him, that of the fruit of his loins should one sit on his seat (or that a man from the fruit of his loins should sit on his throne),

³¹he seeing afar spake of the resurrection of Christ (or he seeing far ahead spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah), for neither he was left in hell, neither his flesh saw corruption.

³²God raised this Jesus, to whom we all be witnesses.

³³Therefore he was enhanced by the right hand of God, and through the promise of the Holy Ghost that he took of the Father, he shedded out this Spirit, that ye see and hear. (And so he was exalted, or raised up, by the right hand of God, and through the promise of the Holy Spirit that he received from the Father, he poured out this Spirit, that ye now see and hear.)

³⁴For David ascended not into heaven; but he saith, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right half, (or Sit on my right side, or at my right hand),

³⁵till I put thine enemies the stool of thy feet. (until I make thine enemies thy footstool.)

³⁶Therefore most certainly know all the house of Israel, that God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus, whom ye crucified. (And so let all the house of Israel most certainly know, that God made this Jesus, whom ye crucified, both Lord and Messiah.)

³⁷When they heard these things, they were compuncted in heart; and they said to Peter and to (the) other apostles, Brethren (or Brothers), what shall we do?

³⁸And Peter said to them, Do ye penance, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, into remission of your sins; and ye shall take the gift of the Holy Ghost. (And Peter said to them, Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and then ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.)

³⁹For the promise is to you, and to your sons, and to all that be far (off), whichever our Lord God hath called. Forsooth repromission is to you, and to your sons, and to all that be far, whomever the Lord our God hath called to (him).

⁴⁰Also with other words full many he witnessed to them, and admonished them, and said, Be ye saved from this shrewd or from this wicked generation. (And with a great many other words he testified to them, and admonished them, and said, Save yourselves from this depraved generation.)

⁴¹Then they that received his word were baptized, and in (or on) that day souls were increased, about three thousand;

⁴²and they were lasting stably in the teaching of the apostles, and in (the) communing of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

⁴³And dread was made to each man. And many wonders and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and great dread was in all. (And there was fearful reverence in each man. And many wonders and miracles were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and great and fearful reverence was in all.)
