Deeds (Act) of Apostles 2:4-26

⁴And all were filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak in diverse languages or with diverse tongues, as the Holy Ghost gave to them to speak. (And all were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in different languages, which the Holy Spirit made them able to speak.)

⁵And there were in Jerusalem dwelling Jews (or And there were Jews living in Jerusalem), religious men, of each nation that is under heaven.

⁶And when this voice was made, the multitude came together, and were astonied, (or were astonished), or was confounded, in thought, (or And when this sound was made, the multitude came together, and were bewildered in their understanding), for each man heard them speaking in his own language +or in his own tongue.

⁷And all were astonied (or astonished), and wondered, and said together, Whether not all these that speak be men of Galilee or Whether not all these that speak be Galileans,

⁸and how heard we or have we heard each man our (own) language (or and how have each of us heard our own language) in which we be born?

⁹Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they that dwell at or in Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,

¹⁰Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that is about Cyrene, and comelings (or and newcomers), Romans, and Jews, and proselytes,

¹¹men of Crete, and of Arabia, we have heard them speaking in our (own) languages or in our (own) tongues the great things of God.

¹²And all were astonied, and wondered, saying together, What will this thing be? (And all were astonished, and wondered, and they said to each other, What meaneth this thing?)

¹³And others scorned, and said, For these men be full of must. (But others scorned them, and said, These men be full of wine.)

¹⁴But Peter stood with the eleven, and raised up his voice, and spake to them, Ye Jews, and all that dwell at Jerusalem (or and all who live in Jerusalem), be this known to you, and with ears perceive ye my words.

¹⁵For 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;)

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

¹⁷And 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).

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

¹⁹And 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.

²⁰The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that the great and the open day of the Lord shall come.

²¹And it shall be, each man whichever shall call to help the name of the Lord or each man whoever shall in-call the name of the Lord, shall be safe (or shall be saved).

²²Ye men of Israel, hear ye these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man proved of God before you by virtues, and wonders, and tokens, which God did by him in the middle of you, as ye know, (Israelites, listen to these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man of God approved before you by works of power, or miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye know,)

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.
