RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And when the day of Pentecost was now accomplishing, they were all together in one place.

1 Y COMO se cumplieron los días de Pentecostés, estaban todos unánimes juntos;

2 And there came suddenly a sound out of heaven as of a violent impetuous blowing, and filled all the house where they were sitting.

2 Y de repente vino un estruendo del cielo como de un viento recio que corría, el cual hinchió toda la casa donde estaban sentados;

3 And there appeared to them parted tongues, as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them.

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

4 And they were all filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave to them to speak forth.

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

5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, pious men, from every nation of those under heaven.

5 Moraban entonces en Jerusalem Judíos, varones religiosos, de todas las naciones debajo del cielo.

6 But the rumour of this having spread, the multitude came together and were confounded, because each one heard them speaking in his own dialect.

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

7 And all were amazed and wondered, saying, Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galilaeans?

7 Y estaban atónitos y maravillados, diciendo: He aquí ¿no son Galileos todos estos que hablan?

8 and how do we hear [them] each in our own dialect in which we have been born,

8 ¿Cómo, pues, les oímos nosotros [hablar] cada uno en nuestra lengua en que somos nacidos?

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judaea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

9 Partos y Medos, y Elamitas, y los que habitamos en Mesopotamia, en Judea y en Capadocia, en el Ponto y en Asia,

10 both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya which adjoin Cyrene, and the Romans sojourning [here], both Jews and proselytes,

10 En Phrygia y Pamphylia, en Egipto y en las partes de Africa que está de la otra parte de Cirene, y Romanos extranjeros, tanto Judíos como convertidos,

11 Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own tongues the great things of God?

11 Cretenses y Arabes, les oímos hablar en nuestras lenguas las maravillas de Dios.

12 And they were all amazed and in perplexity, saying one to another, What would this mean?

12 Y estaban todos atónitos y perplejos, diciendo los unos á los otros: ¿Qué quiere ser esto?

13 But others mocking said, They are full of new wine.

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

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke forth to them, Men of Judaea, and all ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give heed to my words:

14 Entonces Pedro, poniéndose en pie con los once, alzó su voz, y hablóles diciendo: Varones Judíos, y todos los que habitáis en Jerusalem, esto os sea notorio, y oid mis palabras.

15 for these are not full of wine, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day;

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

16 but this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel,

16 Mas esto es lo que fué dicho por el profeta Joel:

17 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, [that] I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elders shall dream with dreams;

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

18 yea, even upon my bondmen and upon my bondwomen in those days will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

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

19 And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

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

20 the sun shall be changed to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and gloriously appearing day of [the] Lord come.

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

21 And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of [the] Lord shall be saved.

21 Y será que todo aquel que invocare el nombre del Señor, será salvo.

22 Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazaraean, a man borne witness to by God to you by works of power and wonders and signs, which God wrought by him in your midst, as yourselves know

22 Varones Israelitas, oid estas palabras: 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 — him, given up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, by [the] hand of lawless [men], have crucified and slain.

23 A éste, entregado por determinado consejo y providencia de Dios, prendisteis y matasteis por manos de los inicuos, crucificándole;

24 Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death, inasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held by its power;

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

25 for David says as to him, I foresaw the Lord continually before me, because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved.

25 Porque David dice de él: Veía al Señor siempre delante de mí: porque está á mi diestra, no seré conmovido.

26 Therefore has my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted; yea more, my flesh also shall dwell in hope,

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

27 for thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor wilt thou give thy gracious one to see corruption.

27 Que no dejarás mi alma en el infierno, ni darás á tu Santo que vea corrupción.

28 Thou hast made known to me [the] paths of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance.

28 Hicísteme notorios los caminos de la vida; me henchirás de gozo con tu presencia.

29 Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst us unto this day.

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

30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, of the fruit of his loins to set upon his throne;

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

31 he, seeing [it] before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen corruption.

31 Viéndolo antes, habló de la resurrección de Cristo, que su alma no fué dejada en el infierno, ni su carne vió corrupción.

32 This Jesus has God raised up, whereof all we are witnesses.

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

33 Having therefore been exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which ye behold and hear.

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

34 For David has not ascended into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand

34 Porque David no subió á los cielos; empero él dice: Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra,

35 until I have put thine enemies [to be] the footstool of thy feet.

35 Hasta que ponga á tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.

36 Let the whole house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

36 Sepa pues ciertísimamente toda la casa de Israel, que á éste Jesús que vosotros crucificasteis, Dios ha hecho Señor y Cristo.

37 And having heard [it] they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, What shall we do, brethren?

37 Entonces oído [esto], fueron compungidos de corazón, y dijeron á Pedro y á los otros apóstoles: Varones hermanos, ¿qué haremos?

38 And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

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

39 For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who [are] afar off, as many as [the] Lord our God may call.

39 Porque para vosotros es la promesa, y para vuestros hijos, y para todos los que están lejos; [para] cuantos el Señor nuestro Dios llamare.

40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.

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

41 Those then who had accepted his word were baptised; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

41 Así que, los que recibieron su palabra, fueron bautizados: y fueron añadidas [á ellos] aquel día como tres mil personas.

42 And they persevered in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles, in breaking of bread and prayers.

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

43 And fear was upon every soul, and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles' means.

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

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common,

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

45 and sold their possessions and substance, and distributed them to all, according as any one might have need.

45 Y vendían las posesiones, y las haciendas, y repartíanlas á todos, como cada uno había menester.

46 And every day, being constantly in the temple with one accord, and breaking bread in [the] house, they received their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

46 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 praising God, and having favour with all the people; and the Lord added [to the assembly] daily those that were to be saved.

47 Alabando á Dios, y teniendo gracia con todo el pueblo. Y el Señor añadía cada día á la iglesia los que habían de ser salvos.

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).
