1 και εν τω συμπληρουσθαι την ημεραν τησ πεντηκοστησ ησαν απαντεσ ομοθυμαδον επι το αυτο
1 Y COMO se cumplieron los días de Pentecostés, estaban todos unánimes juntos;
1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 και εγενετο αφνω εκ του ουρανου ηχοσ ωσπερ φερομενησ πνοησ βιαιασ και επληρωσεν ολον τον οικον ου ησαν καθημενοι
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;
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 και ωφθησαν αυτοισ διαμεριζομεναι γλωσσαι ωσει πυροσ εκαθισεν τε εφ ενα εκαστον αυτων
3 Y se les aparecieron lenguas repartidas, como de fuego, que se asentó sobre cada uno de ellos.
3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4 και επλησθησαν απαντεσ πνευματοσ αγιου και ηρξαντο λαλειν ετεραισ γλωσσαισ καθωσ το πνευμα εδιδου αυτοισ αποφθεγγεσθαι
4 Y fueron todos llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron á hablar en otras lenguas, como el Espíritu les daba que hablasen.
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 ησαν δε εν ιερουσαλημ κατοικουντεσ ιουδαιοι ανδρεσ ευλαβεισ απο παντοσ εθνουσ των υπο τον ουρανον
5 Moraban entonces en Jerusalem Judíos, varones religiosos, de todas las naciones debajo del cielo.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
6 γενομενησ δε τησ φωνησ ταυτησ συνηλθεν το πληθοσ και συνεχυθη οτι ηκουον εισ εκαστοσ τη ιδια διαλεκτω λαλουντων αυτων
6 Y hecho este estruendo, juntóse la multitud; y estaban confusos, porque cada uno les oía hablar su propia lengua.
6 When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
7 εξισταντο δε παντεσ και εθαυμαζον λεγοντεσ προσ αλληλουσ ουκ ιδου παντεσ ουτοι εισιν οι λαλουντεσ γαλιλαιοι
7 Y estaban atónitos y maravillados, diciendo: He aquí ¿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 και πωσ ημεισ ακουομεν εκαστοσ τη ιδια διαλεκτω ημων εν η εγεννηθημεν
8 ¿Cómo, pues, les oímos nosotros [hablar] cada uno en nuestra lengua en que somos nacidos?
8 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
9 παρθοι και μηδοι και ελαμιται και οι κατοικουντεσ την μεσοποταμιαν ιουδαιαν τε και καππαδοκιαν ποντον και την ασιαν
9 Partos y Medos, y Elamitas, y los que habitamos en Mesopotamia, en Judea y en Capadocia, en el Ponto y en Asia,
9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
10 φρυγιαν τε και παμφυλιαν αιγυπτον και τα μερη τησ λιβυησ τησ κατα κυρηνην και οι επιδημουντεσ ρωμαιοι ιουδαιοι τε και προσηλυτοι
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,
10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 κρητεσ και αραβεσ ακουομεν λαλουντων αυτων ταισ ημετεραισ γλωσσαισ τα μεγαλεια του θεου
11 Cretenses y Arabes, les oímos hablar en nuestras lenguas las maravillas de Dios.
11 Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
12 εξισταντο δε παντεσ και διηπορουν αλλοσ προσ αλλον λεγοντεσ τι αν θελοι τουτο ειναι
12 Y estaban todos atónitos y perplejos, diciendo los unos á los otros: ¿Qué quiere ser esto?
12 They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
13 ετεροι δε χλευαζοντεσ ελεγον οτι γλευκουσ μεμεστωμενοι εισιν
13 Mas otros burlándose, decían: Que están llenos de mosto.
13 Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
14 σταθεισ δε πετροσ συν τοισ ενδεκα επηρεν την φωνην αυτου και απεφθεγξατο αυτοισ ανδρεσ ιουδαιοι και οι κατοικουντεσ ιερουσαλημ απαντεσ τουτο υμιν γνωστον εστω και ενωτισασθε τα ρηματα μου
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.
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 ου γαρ ωσ υμεισ υπολαμβανετε ουτοι μεθυουσιν εστιν γαρ ωρα τριτη τησ ημερασ
15 Porque éstos no están borrachos, como vosotros pensáis, siendo la hora tercia del día;
15 For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.
16 αλλα τουτο εστιν το ειρημενον δια του προφητου ιωηλ
16 Mas esto es lo que fué dicho por el profeta Joel:
16 But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 και εσται εν ταισ εσχαταισ ημεραισ λεγει ο θεοσ εκχεω απο του πνευματοσ μου επι πασαν σαρκα και προφητευσουσιν οι υιοι υμων και αι θυγατερεσ υμων και οι νεανισκοι υμων ορασεισ οψονται και οι πρεσβυτεροι υμων ενυπνια ενυπνιασθησονται
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:
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 και γε επι τουσ δουλουσ μου και επι τασ δουλασ μου εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ εκχεω απο του πνευματοσ μου και προφητευσουσιν
18 Y de cierto sobre mis siervos y sobre mis siervas en aquellos días derramaré de mi Espíritu, 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 και δωσω τερατα εν τω ουρανω ανω και σημεια επι τησ γησ κατω αιμα και πυρ και ατμιδα καπνου
19 Y daré prodigios arriba en el cielo, y señales abajo en la tierra, sangre y 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 ο ηλιοσ μεταστραφησεται εισ σκοτοσ και η σεληνη εισ αιμα πριν η ελθειν την ημεραν κυριου την μεγαλην και επιφανη
20 El sol se volverá en tinieblas, y la luna en sangre, antes que venga el día del Señor, grande y manifiesto;
20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 και εσται πασ οσ αν επικαλεσηται το ονομα κυριου σωθησεται
21 Y será que todo aquel que invocare el nombre del Señor, será salvo.
21 It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 ανδρεσ ισραηλιται ακουσατε τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ ιησουν τον ναζωραιον ανδρα απο του θεου αποδεδειγμενον εισ υμασ δυναμεσιν και τερασιν και σημειοισ οισ εποιησεν δι αυτου ο θεοσ εν μεσω υμων καθωσ και αυτοι οιδατε
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;
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 τουτον τη ωρισμενη βουλη και προγνωσει του θεου εκδοτον λαβοντεσ δια χειρων ανομων προσπηξαντεσ ανειλετε
23 A éste, entregado por determinado consejo y providencia de Dios, prendisteis y matasteis por manos de los inicuos, crucificándole;
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 ον ο θεοσ ανεστησεν λυσασ τασ ωδινασ του θανατου καθοτι ουκ ην δυνατον κρατεισθαι αυτον υπ αυτου
24 Al cual Dios levantó, sueltos los dolores de la muerte, por cuanto era imposible ser detenido de ella.
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 δαυιδ γαρ λεγει εισ αυτον προωρωμην τον κυριον ενωπιον μου δια παντοσ οτι εκ δεξιων μου εστιν ινα μη σαλευθω
25 Porque David dice de él: Veía al Señor siempre delante de mí: porque está á mi diestra, no seré conmovido.
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 δια τουτο ευφρανθη η καρδια μου και ηγαλλιασατο η γλωσσα μου ετι δε και η σαρξ μου κατασκηνωσει επ ελπιδι
26 Por lo cual mi corazón se alegró, y gozóse mi lengua; y aun mi carne descansará en esperanza;
26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
27 οτι ουκ εγκαταλειψεισ την ψυχην μου εισ αδου ουδε δωσεισ τον οσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν
27 Que no dejarás mi alma en el infierno, ni darás á tu Santo que vea corrupción.
27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
28 εγνωρισασ μοι οδουσ ζωησ πληρωσεισ με ευφροσυνησ μετα του προσωπου σου
28 Hicísteme notorios los caminos de la vida; me henchirás 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 ανδρεσ αδελφοι εξον ειπειν μετα παρρησιασ προσ υμασ περι του πατριαρχου δαυιδ οτι και ετελευτησεν και εταφη και το μνημα αυτου εστιν εν ημιν αχρι τησ ημερασ ταυτησ
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.
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 προφητησ ουν υπαρχων και ειδωσ οτι ορκω ωμοσεν αυτω ο θεοσ εκ καρπου τησ οσφυοσ αυτου το κατα σαρκα αναστησειν τον χριστον καθισαι επι του θρονου αυτου
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;
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 προιδων ελαλησεν περι τησ αναστασεωσ του χριστου οτι ου κατελειφθη η ψυχη αυτου εισ αδου ουδε η σαρξ αυτου ειδεν διαφθοραν
31 Viéndolo antes, habló de la resurrección de Cristo, que su alma no fué dejada en el infierno, ni su carne vió 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 τουτον τον ιησουν ανεστησεν ο θεοσ ου παντεσ ημεισ εσμεν μαρτυρεσ
32 A este Jesús resucitó Dios, de lo cual todos nosotros somos testigos.
32 This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
33 τη δεξια ουν του θεου υψωθεισ την τε επαγγελιαν του αγιου πνευματοσ λαβων παρα του πατροσ εξεχεεν τουτο ο νυν υμεισ βλεπετε και ακουετε
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.
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 ου γαρ δαυιδ ανεβη εισ τουσ ουρανουσ λεγει δε αυτοσ ειπεν ο κυριοσ τω κυριω μου καθου εκ δεξιων μου
34 Porque David no subió á los cielos; empero él dice: Dijo el Señor á mi Señor: Siéntate á mi diestra,
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 εωσ αν θω τουσ εχθρουσ σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
35 Hasta que ponga á tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.
35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
36 ασφαλωσ ουν γινωσκετω πασ οικοσ ισραηλ οτι και κυριον και χριστον αυτον ο θεοσ εποιησεν τουτον τον ιησουν ον υμεισ εσταυρωσατε
36 Sepa pues ciertísimamente toda la casa de Israel, que á éste Jesús que vosotros crucificasteis, Dios 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 ακουσαντεσ δε κατενυγησαν τη καρδια ειπον τε προσ τον πετρον και τουσ λοιπουσ αποστολουσ τι ποιησομεν ανδρεσ αδελφοι
37 Entonces oído [esto], fueron compungidos de corazón, y dijeron á Pedro y á los otros apóstoles: Varones 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 πετροσ δε εφη προσ αυτουσ μετανοησατε και βαπτισθητω εκαστοσ υμων επι τω ονοματι ιησου χριστου εισ αφεσιν αμαρτιων και ληψεσθε την δωρεαν του αγιου πνευματοσ
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.
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 υμιν γαρ εστιν η επαγγελια και τοισ τεκνοισ υμων και πασιν τοισ εισ μακραν οσουσ αν προσκαλεσηται κυριοσ ο θεοσ ημων
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.
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 ετεροισ τε λογοισ πλειοσιν διεμαρτυρετο και παρεκαλει λεγων σωθητε απο τησ γενεασ τησ σκολιασ ταυτησ
40 Y con otras muchas palabras testificaba y exhortaba, diciendo: Sed salvos de esta perversa generación.
40 With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
41 οι μεν ουν ασμενωσ αποδεξαμενοι τον λογον αυτου εβαπτισθησαν και προσετεθησαν τη ημερα εκεινη ψυχαι ωσει τρισχιλιαι
41 Así que, los que recibieron su palabra, fueron bautizados: y fueron añadidas [á ellos] aquel día como tres mil personas.
41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
42 ησαν δε προσκαρτερουντεσ τη διδαχη των αποστολων και τη κοινωνια και τη κλασει του αρτου και ταισ προσευχαισ
42 Y perseveraban en la doctrina de los apóstoles, y en la comunión, y 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 εγενετο δε παση ψυχη φοβοσ πολλα τε τερατα και σημεια δια των αποστολων εγινετο
43 Y toda persona tenía temor: y muchas maravillas y señales eran hechas por los apóstoles.
43 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 παντεσ δε οι πιστευοντεσ ησαν επι το αυτο και ειχον απαντα κοινα
44 Y todos los que creían estaban juntos; y tenían todas las cosas comunes;
44 All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
45 και τα κτηματα και τασ υπαρξεισ επιπρασκον και διεμεριζον αυτα πασιν καθοτι αν τισ χρειαν ειχεν
45 Y vendían las posesiones, y las haciendas, y repartíanlas á todos, como cada uno había menester.
45 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
46 καθ ημεραν τε προσκαρτερουντεσ ομοθυμαδον εν τω ιερω κλωντεσ τε κατ οικον αρτον μετελαμβανον τροφησ εν αγαλλιασει και αφελοτητι καρδιασ
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,
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 αινουντεσ τον θεον και εχοντεσ χαριν προσ ολον τον λαον ο δε κυριοσ προσετιθει τουσ σωζομενουσ καθ ημεραν τη εκκλησια
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.
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).

  1. Commentary 2:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles (Homily IV)

    Dost thou perceive the type? What is this Pentecost? The time when the sickle was to be put to the harvest, and the ingathering was made. See now the reality, when the time was come to put in the sickle of the word: for here, as the sickle, keen-edged, came the Spirit down.
