RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in the same place.

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

2 Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the whole 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 There appeared to them tongues like fire that were distributed, and they 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 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them to speak.

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 Jews who were living in Jerusalem, godly men, from every nation under heaven.

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

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

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

7 They were amazed and marveled; they said, “Really, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

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

8 Why is it that we are hearing them, each in our own language in which we were 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 live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in 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 Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya toward Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,

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 Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our languages about the mighty works of God.”

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

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

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

13 But others mocked and said, “They are full of new wine.”

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

14 But Peter stood with the eleven, raised his voice, and said to them, “Men of Judea and all of you who live at Jerusalem, let this be known to you; pay attention 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 people are not drunk as you assume, for it is only 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 what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

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

17 'It will be in the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream 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 Also on my servants and my female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

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

19 I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below, blood, fire, and vapor 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 will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and remarkable day of the Lord comes.

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

21 It will be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'

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

22 Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man accredited to you by God by the mighty deeds, the wonders, and the signs which God did through him in your midst, as you 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 This man was handed over by God's predetermined plan and foreknowledge; and you, by the hand of lawless men, put him to death by nailing him to a cross.

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

24 But God raised him up, freeing him from the pains of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.

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

25 For David says about him, 'I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is beside my right hand so that I should 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 my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Also, my flesh will live in certain hope.

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

27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

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

28 You revealed to me the ways of life; you will make me full of gladness with your face.'

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

29 Brothers, I can speak to you confidently about the patriarch David, he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to 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 Therefore, he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him, that he would set one of the fruit of his body 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 saw what was to happen in the future and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, 'He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.'

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—God raised him up, of which we all are witnesses.

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

33 Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promised Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you see 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 did not ascend to the heaven, but he says, 'The Lord said to 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 make your enemies the stool for your feet.”'

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

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

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

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

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

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you 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 the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, as many people as the Lord our God will 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 With many other words he testified and urged them; he said, “Save yourselves from this wicked generation.”

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

41 Then they received his word and were baptized, 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 They continued in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in 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 Fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

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

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

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

45 and they sold their property and possessions and distributed them to all, according to the needs anyone had.

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

46 So day after day they continued with one purpose in the temple, and they broke bread in homes, and they shared food with glad and humble hearts,

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 favor with all the people, and every day the Lord added to their number those who were being 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).
