1 A nd when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place,

¶ Cuando se cumplió plenamente el día de Pentecostés, estaban todos unánimes juntos en el mismo sitio;

2 W hen suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.

y de repente vino un estruendo del cielo como de un viento vehemente que venía con ímpetu, el cual llenó toda la casa donde estaban sentados;

3 A nd there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were separated and distributed and which settled on each one of them.

y se les aparecieron lenguas repartidas, como de fuego, que se asentó sobre cada uno de ellos.

4 A nd they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different, foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit kept giving them clear and loud expression.

Y fueron todos llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, como el Espíritu Santo les daba que hablaran.

5 N ow there were then residing in Jerusalem Jews, devout and God-fearing men from every country under heaven.

¶ (Moraban entonces en Jerusalén judíos, varones religiosos, de todas las naciones que están debajo del cielo.)

6 A nd when this sound was heard, the multitude came together and they were astonished and bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own dialect.

Y hecho este estruendo, se juntó la multitud; y estaban confusos, porque cada uno les oía hablar su propia lengua.

7 A nd they were beside themselves with amazement, saying, Are not all these who are talking Galileans?

Y estaban atónitos y maravillados, diciendo: He aquí ¿no son galileos todos éstos que hablan?

8 T hen how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own (particular) dialect to which we were born?

¿Cómo, pues, les oímos nosotros hablar cada uno en su lengua en que somos criados?

9 P arthians and Medes and Elamites and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

partos y medos, y elamitas, y los que habitamos en Mesopotamia, en Judea y en Capadocia, en el Ponto y en Asia,

10 P hrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and the transient residents from Rome, both Jews and the proselytes,

en Frigia y Panfilia, en Egipto y en las partes de Africa que está de la otra parte de Cirene, y romanos extranjeros, tanto judíos como convertidos,

11 C retans and Arabians too—we all hear them speaking in our own native tongues the mighty works of God!

cretenses y árabes, les oímos hablar en nuestras lenguas las maravillas de Dios.

12 A nd all were beside themselves with amazement and were puzzled and bewildered, saying one to another, What can this mean?

Y estaban todos atónitos y perplejos, diciendo los unos a los otros: ¿Qué es esto?

13 B ut others made a joke of it and derisively said, They are simply drunk and full of sweet wine.

Mas otros burlándose, decían: Que están llenos de mosto.

14 B ut Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: You Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem, let this be to you so that you will know and understand; listen closely to what I have to say.

¶ Entonces Pedro, poniéndose en pie con los once, alzó su voz, y les habló diciendo: Varones judíos, y todos los que habitáis en Jerusalén, esto os sea notorio, y oíd mis palabras.

15 F or these men are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is the third hour (about 9: 00 a. m.) of the day;

Porque éstos no están borrachos, como vosotros pensáis, siendo la hora tercia del día;

16 B ut this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

mas esto es lo que fue dicho por el profeta Joel:

17 A nd it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy '> telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions ( divinely granted appearances), and your old men shall dream '> divinely suggested] dreams.

Y en los postreros días, dice Dios, derramaré de mi Espíritu sobre toda carne, y vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas profetizarán; y vuestros jóvenes verán visiones, y vuestros viejos soñarán sueños.

18 Y es, and on My menservants also and on My maidservants in those days I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy '> telling forth the divine counsels and predicting future events pertaining especially to God’s kingdom].

Y de cierto sobre mis siervos y sobre mis siervas en aquellos días, derramaré de mi Espíritu, y profetizarán.

19 A nd I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire and smoking vapor;

Y daré prodigios arriba en el cielo, y señales abajo en la tierra, sangre y fuego y vapor de humo;

20 T he sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the obvious day of the Lord comes—that great and notable and conspicuous and renowned.

El sol se volverá en tinieblas, y la luna en sangre, antes que venga el día del Señor, Grande y manifiesto;

21 A nd it shall be that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord '> invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord—Christ] shall be saved.

y acontecerá que todo aquel que invocare el Nombre del Señor, será salvo.

22 Y ou men of Israel, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man accredited and pointed out and shown forth and commended and attested to you by God by the mighty works and wonders and signs which God worked through Him in your midst, as you yourselves know—

Varones Israelitas, oíd estas palabras: El Jesús Nazareno, varón aprobado de Dios entre vosotros en maravillas y prodigios y señales, que Dios hizo por él en medio de vosotros, como también vosotros sabéis;

23 T his Jesus, when delivered up according to the definite and fixed purpose and settled plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and put out of the way by the hands of lawless and wicked men.

éste, entregado por determinado consejo y providencia de Dios, tomándolo vosotros lo matasteis con manos inicuas, colgándole en un madero;

24 G od raised Him up, liberating Him from the pangs of death, seeing that it was not possible for Him to continue to be controlled or retained by it.

al cual Dios levantó, sueltos los dolores de la muerte, por cuanto era imposible ser detenido de ella.

25 F or David says in regard to Him, I saw the Lord constantly before me, for He is at my right hand that I may not be shaken or overthrown or cast down.

Porque David dice de él: Veía al Señor siempre delante de mí; porque lo tengo a la diestra, no seré removido.

26 T herefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted exceedingly; moreover, my flesh also will dwell in hope.

Por lo cual mi corazón se alegró, y mi lengua se gozó; y aun mi carne descansará en esperanza;

27 F or You will not abandon my soul, leaving it helpless in Hades (the state of departed spirits), nor let Your Holy One know decay or see destruction.

que no dejarás mi alma en el Hades, ni darás a tu Santo que vea corrupción.

28 Y ou have made known to me the ways of life; You will enrapture me with and in Your presence.

Me hiciste notorios los caminos de la vida; me llenarás de gozo con tu presencia.

29 B rethren, it is permitted me to tell you confidently and with freedom concerning the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

Varones hermanos, se os puede libremente decir del patriarca David, que murió, y fue sepultado, y su sepulcro está con nosotros hasta el día de hoy.

30 B eing however a prophet, and knowing that God had sealed to him with an oath that He would set one of his descendants on his throne,

Así que siendo profeta, y sabiendo que con juramento le había Dios jurado que del fruto de su lomo, en cuanto a la carne, levantaría al Cristo que se sentaría sobre su trono;

31 H e, foreseeing this, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ (the Messiah) that He was not deserted and left in Hades (the state of departed spirits), nor did His body know decay or see destruction.

viéndolo antes, habló de la resurrección del Cristo, que su alma no fue dejada en el Hades, ni su carne vio corrupción.

32 T his Jesus God raised up, and of that all we are witnesses.

A este Jesús resucitó Dios, de lo cual todos nosotros somos testigos.

33 B eing therefore lifted high by and to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, He has made this outpouring which you yourselves both see and hear.

Así que, levantado por la diestra de Dios, y recibiendo del Padre la promesa del Espíritu Santo, ha derramado esto que vosotros ahora veis y oís.

34 F or David did not ascend into the heavens; yet he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand and share My throne

Porque David no subió a los cielos; pero él dice: Dijo el Señor a mi Señor: Siéntate a mi diestra,

35 U ntil I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.

hasta que ponga a tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.

36 T herefore let the whole house of Israel recognize beyond all doubt and acknowledge assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ (the Messiah)—this Jesus Whom you crucified.

Sepa pues ciertísimamente toda la Casa de Israel, que a este Jesús que vosotros colgasteis en un madero, Dios ha hecho Señor y Cristo.

37 N ow when they heard this they were stung (cut) to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles (special messengers), Brethren, what shall we do?

¶ Entonces oído esto, fueron compungidos de corazón, y dijeron a Pedro y a los otros apóstoles: Varones hermanos, ¿qué haremos?

38 A nd Peter answered them, Repent (change your views and purpose to accept the will of God in your inner selves instead of rejecting it) and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of and release from your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Y Pedro les dice: Arrepentíos, y bautícese cada uno de vosotros en el nombre de Jesús, el Cristo, para perdón de los pecados; y recibiréis el don del Espíritu Santo.

39 F or the promise is to and for you and your children, and to and for all that are far away, to and for as many as the Lord our God invites and bids to come to Himself.

Porque a vosotros es la promesa, y a vuestros hijos, y a todos los que están lejos; a cualesquiera que el Señor nuestro Dios llamare.

40 A nd solemnly and earnestly witnessed (testified) and admonished (exhorted) with much more continuous speaking and warned (reproved, advised, encouraged) them, saying, Be saved from this crooked (perverse, wicked, unjust) generation.

Y con otras muchas palabras testificaba y los exhortaba, diciendo: Sed salvos de esta perversa generación.

41 T herefore those who accepted and welcomed his message were baptized, and there were added that day about 3, 000 souls.

Así que, los que recibieron su palabra, fueron bautizados; y fueron añadidas a ellos aquel día como tres mil personas.

42 A nd they steadfastly persevered, devoting themselves constantly to the instruction and fellowship of the apostles, to the breaking of bread and prayers.

¶ Y perseveraban en la doctrina de los apóstoles, y en la comunión, y en el partimiento del pan, y en las oraciones.

43 A nd a sense of awe (reverential fear) came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were performed through the apostles (the special messengers).

Y toda persona tenía temor; y muchas maravillas y señales eran hechas por los apóstoles.

44 A nd all who believed (who adhered to and trusted in and relied on Jesus Christ) were united and they had everything in common;

Y todos los que creían estaban juntos; y tenían todas las cosas comunes;

45 A nd they sold their possessions (both their landed property and their movable goods) and distributed the price among all, according as any had need.

Y vendían las posesiones, y las haciendas, y las repartían a todos, según la necesidad de cada uno.

46 A nd day after day they regularly assembled in the temple with united purpose, and in their homes they broke bread. They partook of their food with gladness and simplicity and generous hearts,

Y perseverando unánimes cada día en el Templo, y partiendo el pan en las casas, comían juntos con alegría y con sencillez de corazón,

47 C onstantly praising God and being in favor and goodwill with all the people; and the Lord kept adding daily those who were being saved.

alabando a Dios, y teniendo gracia con todo el pueblo. Y el Señor añadía cada día a la Iglesia los que habían de ser salvos.
