| 2 1 | WHILE THE DAY of Pentecost was running its course they were all together in one place, | The Coming of the Holy Spirit Ac.2.1-13 (Jerusalem) | Καὶ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς πεντηκοστῆς ἦσαν πάντες ὁμοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό. |
|
| 2 | when suddenly there came from the sky a noise like that of a strong driving wind, which filled the whole house where they were sitting. | | καὶ ἐγένετο ἀφνω ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἦχος ὡσπερ φερομένης πνοῆς βιαίας καὶ ἐπλήρωσεν ὁλον τὸν οἶκον οὗ ἦσαν καθήμενοι· |
|
| 3 | And there appeared to them tongues like flames of fire, dispersed among them and resting on each one. | | καὶ ὠφθησαν αὐτοῖς διαμεριζόμεναι γλῶσσαι ὡσεὶ πυρός, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐφ' ἑνα ἑκαστον αὐτῶν, |
|
| 4 | And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power of utterance.
| | καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν πάντες πνεύματος ἀγίου, καὶ ἠρξαντο λαλεῖν ἑτέραις γλώσσαις καθὼς τὸ Πνεῦμα ἐδίδου ἀποφθέγγεσθαι αὐτοῖς. |
|
| 5 | Now there were living in Jerusalem devout Jews Some witnesses read: devout men. drawn from every nation under heaven; | | Ἦσαν δὲ εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ κατοικοῦντες Ἰουδαῖοι, ἀνδρες εὐλαβεῖς ἀπὸ παντὸς ἐθνους τῶν ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανόν· |
|
| 6 | and at this sound the crowd gathered, all bewildered because each one heard his own language spoken. | | γενομένης δὲ τῆς φωνῆς ταύτης συνῆλθεν τὸ πλῆθος καὶ συνεχύθη, ὅτι ἠκουον εἷς ἑκαστος τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ λαλούντων αὐτῶν. |
|
| 7 | They were amazed and in their astonishment exclaimed, 'Why, they are all Galileans, are they not, these men who are speaking? | | ἐξίσταντο δὲ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον λέγοντες, Οὐχ ἰδοὺ ἀπαντες οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ λαλοῦντες Γαλιλαῖοὶ; |
|
| 8 | How is it then that we hear them, each of us in his own native language? | | καὶ πῶς ἡμεῖς ἀκούομεν ἑκαστος τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ ἡμῶν ἐν ᾗ ἐγεννήθημεν; |
|
| 9 | Parthians, Medes, Elamites; inhabitants of Mesopotamia, of Judaea and Cappadocia, of Pontus and Asia, | | Πάρθοι καὶ Μῆδοι καὶ Ἐλαμῖται, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν, Ἰουδαίαν τε καὶ Καππαδοκίαν, Πόντον καὶ τὴν Ἀσίαν, |
|
| 10 | of Phrygia and Pamphylia, of Egypt and the districts of Libya around Cyrene; visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, | | Φρυγίαν τε καὶ Παμφυλίαν, Αἰγυπτον καὶ τὰ μέρη τῆς Λιβύης τῆς κατὰ Κυρήνην, καὶ οἱ ἐπιδημοῦντες Ῥωμαῖοι, |
|
| 11 | Cretans and Arabs, we hear them telling in our own tongues the great things God has done.' | | Ἰουδαῖοί τε καὶ προσήλυτοι, Κρῆτες καὶ Ἄραβες, ἀκούομεν λαλούντων αὐτῶν ταῖς ἡμετέραις γλώσσαις τὰ μεγαλεῖα τοῦ θεοῦ. |
|
| 12 | And they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, 'What can this mean?' | | ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες καὶ διηπόρουν, ἀλλος πρὸς ἀλλον λέγοντες, Τί θέλει τοῦτο εἶναὶ |
|
| 13 | Others said contemptuously, 'They have been drinking!'
| | ἑτεροι δὲ διαχλευάζοντες ἐλεγον ὅτι Γλεύκους μεμεστωμένοι εἰσίν. |
