1 Cuando llegó el día de Pentecostés, todos estaban juntos en un mismo lugar.

1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 De repente vino del cielo un ruido como de un viento fuerte que soplaba, y llenó toda la casa donde estaban sentados.

2 Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 Se les aparecieron lenguas como de fuego, que se repartieron y se posaron sobre cada uno de ellos.

3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.

4 Todos fueron llenos del Espíritu Santo y comenzaron a hablar en otros idiomas, según el Espíritu les daba que hablaran.

4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

5 En Jerusalén vivían judíos, hombres temerosos de Dios, de toda nación debajo del cielo.

5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

6 Cuando se oyó aquel ruido, se juntó la multitud. Estaban confundidos, porque cada uno los oía hablar en su propio idioma.

6 When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

7 Todos estaban asombrados y maravillados, y decían: ¿No son galileos todos estos que hablan?

7 They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?

8 Entonces, ¿cómo es que cada uno de nosotros los oye hablar en el idioma en que nacimos?

8 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?

9 Partos, medos, elamitas, los que vivimos en Mesopotamia, en Judea y Capadocia, en el Ponto y Asia,

9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

10 en Frigia y Panfilia, en Egipto y en las regiones de Libia cerca de Cirene, visitantes de Roma, tanto judíos como prosélitos,

10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

11 cretenses y árabes, todos los oímos hablar en nuestros propios idiomas de las grandes obras de Dios.

11 Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”

12 Todos estaban asombrados y confundidos, y se decían unos a otros: ¿Qué significa esto?

12 They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

13 Pero otros se burlaban y decían: Están llenos de vino nuevo.

13 Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”

14 Entonces Pedro se puso de pie con los once, alzó la voz y les dijo: Varones de Judea, y todos los que viven en Jerusalén, sepan esto y escuchen mis palabras.

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 Estos no están borrachos, como ustedes piensan, pues apenas es la hora tercera del día.

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

16 Más bien, esto es lo que fue dicho por medio del profeta Joel:

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

17 Sucederá en los últimos días, dice Dios, que derramaré de mi Espíritu sobre toda carne. Sus hijos y sus hijas profetizarán, sus jóvenes verán visiones, y sus ancianos soñarán sueños.

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

18 Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

19 Mostraré maravillas arriba en el cielo y señales abajo en la tierra: sangre, fuego y vapor de humo.

19 I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

20 El sol se convertirá en oscuridad, y la luna en sangre, antes que venga el día grande y glorioso del Señor.

20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 Y todo el que invoque el nombre del Señor será salvo.

21 It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

22 Varones de Israel, escuchen estas palabras: Jesús de Nazaret fue un hombre aprobado por Dios ante ustedes con milagros, maravillas y señales que Dios hizo por medio de él entre ustedes, como ustedes mismos saben.

22 “Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, even as you yourselves know,

23 A este Jesús, entregado según el plan determinado y el previo conocimiento de Dios, ustedes lo tomaron y lo mataron, crucificándolo por manos de hombres malvados.

23 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

24 Pero Dios lo resucitó, librándolo de los dolores de la muerte, porque no era posible que la muerte lo retuviera.

24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

25 Porque David dice acerca de él: Veía siempre al Señor delante de mí, porque está a mi derecha, para que yo no sea movido.

25 For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.

26 Por eso se alegró mi corazón y mi lengua se llenó de gozo. También mi cuerpo descansará en esperanza,

26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,

27 porque no dejarás mi alma en el Hades, ni permitirás que tu Santo vea corrupción.

27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

28 Me diste a conocer los caminos de la vida. Me llenarás de gozo con tu presencia.

28 You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

29 Hermanos, puedo decirles con toda confianza acerca del patriarca David que murió y fue sepultado, y su sepulcro está entre nosotros hasta el día de hoy.

29 “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

30 Pero él era profeta y sabía que Dios le había jurado que de sus descendientes levantaría al Cristo para sentarse en su trono.

30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,

31 Viendo esto de antemano, habló de la resurrección del Cristo, diciendo que su alma no fue dejada en el Hades, ni su cuerpo vio corrupción.

31 he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay.

32 A este Jesús Dios lo resucitó, y de esto todos nosotros somos testigos.

32 This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.

33 Así que, exaltado a la derecha de Dios, y habiendo recibido del Padre la promesa del Espíritu Santo, ha derramado esto que ustedes ahora ven y oyen.

33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear.

34 Porque David no subió a los cielos, pero él mismo dice: Dijo el Señor a mi Señor: Siéntate a mi derecha,

34 For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand

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

35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

36 Por tanto, sepa con seguridad toda la casa de Israel que a este Jesús, a quien ustedes crucificaron, Dios lo ha hecho Señor y Cristo.

36 “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

37 Al oír esto, se les compungió el corazón y dijeron a Pedro y a los demás apóstoles: Hermanos, ¿qué haremos?

37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

38 Pedro les dijo: Arrepiéntanse, y bautícese cada uno de ustedes en el nombre de Jesucristo para perdón de sus pecados, y recibirán el don del Espíritu Santo.

38 Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39 Porque la promesa es para ustedes, para sus hijos y para todos los que están lejos, para todos los que el Señor nuestro Dios llame.

39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

40 Con muchas otras palabras daba testimonio y los exhortaba, diciendo: Sálvense de esta generación perversa.

40 With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

41 Entonces los que recibieron su palabra fueron bautizados, y aquel día fueron añadidas como tres mil personas.

41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

42 Perseveraban en la enseñanza de los apóstoles, en la comunión, en el partimiento del pan y en las oraciones.

42 They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

43 Vino temor sobre toda persona, y muchas maravillas y señales eran hechas por medio de los apóstoles.

43 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

44 Todos los que creían estaban juntos y tenían todas las cosas en común.

44 All who believed were together, and had all things in common.

45 Vendían sus propiedades y bienes, y los repartían a todos, según la necesidad de cada uno.

45 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

46 Cada día perseveraban unidos en el templo, partían el pan en las casas y comían juntos con alegría y sencillez de corazón,

46 Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,

47 alabando a Dios y teniendo favor con todo el pueblo. Y el Señor añadía cada día a la iglesia a los que iban siendo salvos.

47 praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
