WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Cuando llegó el día del Pentecostés, todos estaban reunidos 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 se escuchó un ruido que provenía del cielo, como un viento que aullaba y llenó toda la casa donde estaban.

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 Y vieron lo que parecía como diferentes llamas con forma de lenguas que 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 diferentes lenguas a medida que el Espíritu se los permitía.

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 ese momento había allí judíos devotos provenientes de todas las naciones de la tierra, que vivían en Jerusalén.

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

6 Cuando escucharon este ruido, se reunió una gran multitud de ellos. Estaban perplejos porque todos escuchaban 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 Y estaban totalmente sorprendidos, diciendo: “Miren, ¿no son Galileos todos estos que están hablando?

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

8 ¿Cómo es posible que les escuchemos hablar en nuestros propios idiomas?

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

9 Partos, Medos y Elamitas; gente de Mesopotamia, Judea y Capadocia, Ponto y Asia,

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

10 Frigia y Panfilia; desde Egipto y el área de Libia alrededor de Cirene; visitantes de Roma, tanto judíos como conversos,

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

11 cretenses y árabes, les escuchamos hablar en nuestros propios idiomas acerca de todas las cosas grandes que Dios ha hecho”.

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

12 Y todos estaban sorprendidos y confundidos. Y unos a otros se preguntaban “¿Qué significa esto?”

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

13 Pero había otros que se burlaban y decían: “¡De seguro han estado tomando mucho vino!”

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

14 Entonces Pedro se puso en pie con los otros once discípulos y habló en voz alta: “¡Hermanos judíos y todos los que viven aquí en Jerusalén: préstenme atención y les explicaré todo esto!

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 hombres no están ebrios, como ustedes insinúan. ¡Noten que apenas son las nueve de la mañana!

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

16 Lo que está sucediendo es lo que fue predicho por el profeta Joel:

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

17 ‘Dios dice: En los últimos días, derramaré mi Espíritu sobre toda la gente. Sus hijos e hijas profetizarán. Sus jóvenes tendrán visiones, y sus ancianos tendrán 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 En esos días derramaré mi Espíritu sobre mis siervos —hombres y mujeres por igual— 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 Y haré maravillas arriba en los cielos y señales abajo en la tierra: sangre, fuego y nubes 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 oscurecerá, y la luna se pondrá roja como la sangre antes de que llegue 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 Pero 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 “Pueblo de Israel, escuchen esto: como bien lo saben, Jesús de Nazaret fue un hombre confirmado por Dios ante ustedes por medio de los milagros poderosos y las señales que Dios hizo por medio de él.

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 Dios, sabiendo de antemano lo que sucedería, siguió su plan y resolvió entregarlo en manos de ustedes. Por mano de hombres malvados, ustedes lo mataron, clavándolo en una cruz.

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 levantó nuevamente a la vida, libertándolo de la carga de la muerte, porque la muerte no tuvo poder para tenerlo prisionero.

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 “David dice de él: ‘Vi al Señor siempre conmigo. No seré sacudido, porque él está aquí a mi lado.

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 ¡Con razón mi corazón está contento, y mi lengua grita sus alabanzas! Mi cuerpo descansa en esperanza.

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

27 Pues tú no dejarás mi alma entre los muertos ni permitirás que tu Santo se pudra en la tumba.

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

28 Me has mostrado el camino de la vida y me llenarás con la alegría de tu presencia’.

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

29 “Mis hermanos y hermanas, permítanme decirles claramente que nuestro antepasado David murió y fue sepultado, y su tumba está aquí con 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 un profeta, y sabía que Dios había prometido bajo juramento poner en su trono a uno de sus descendientes.

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 David vio lo que sucedería y habló sobre la resurrección de Cristo, porque Cristo no fue abandonado en su tumba, ni sufrió descomposición.

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 “Dios ha levantado a este Jesús de entre los muertos, y todos nosotros somos testigos de eso.

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

33 Ahora él ha sido exaltado a la diestra de Dios y ha recibido del Padre al Espíritu Santo, el cual prometió, y ha derramado lo que ustedes están viendo y oyendo.

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 ascendió al cielo, pero dijo: ‘El Señor dijo a mi Señor; siéntate a 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 entretanto que pongo a tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies’.

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

36 Ahora esté todo Israel convencido de esto: ¡Dios ha puesto a este Jesús, a quien ustedes mataron en una cruz, como Señor y Mesías!”

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 Cuando la gente escuchó esto, sintieron remordimiento de conciencia. Entonces le preguntaron a Pedro y a los apóstoles: “Hermanos, ¿qué debemos hacer?”

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 “¡Arrepiéntanse!” les dijo Pedro. “Todos deben bautizarse en el nombre de Jesús 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 Esta promesa es para ustedes, para sus hijos, y para todos los extranjeros. Para todo aquél a quien el Señor nuestro Dios llama”.

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 Luego Pedro siguió hablando, dándoles más evidencias. Les advirtió: “Sálvense de esta generación perversa”.

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

41 Aquellos que aceptaban lo que él decía, eran bautizados, sumándose así cerca de tres mil personas al grupo de creyentes en ese día.

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

42 Ellos se comprometieron a seguir lo que los apóstoles les habían enseñado, y a la hermandad de los creyentes, “partiendo el pan” y orando juntos.

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

43 Todos estaban asombrados, y a través de los apóstoles se realizaban muchos milagros y señales.

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

44 Y todos los creyentes estaban juntos y compartían todo lo que tenían.

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

45 Ellos vendían sus propiedades y pertenencias, compartiendo las ganancias con todos, en cuanto lo necesitaban.

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

46 Día tras día siguieron reuniéndose en el Templo, y comían juntos en sus casas. Disfrutaban de las comidas con humildad y alegría. Alababan a Dios, y todos pensaban bien de ellos.

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 Cada día el Señor agregaba al grupo aquellos 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).
