Atos 2 - Bíblia Online

Ao cumprir-se o dia de Pentecostes, estavam todos reunidos no mesmo lugar; 
de repente veio do céu um ruído, como de um vento impetuoso, que encheu toda a casa onde estavam sentados 
e lhes apareceram umas como línguas de fogo, as quais se distribuíram, para repousar sobre cada um deles. 
Todos ficaram cheios do Espírito Santo e começaram a falar em outras línguas, conforme o Espírito lhes concedia que falassem. 
Habitavam em Jerusalém judeus, homens religiosos, de todas as nações debaixo do céu; 
quando se ouviu este ruído, ajuntou-se ali a multidão e ficou pasmada, porque cada um os ouvia falar na sua própria língua. 
Estavam atônitos e maravilhavam-se, perguntando: Não são galileus todos estes que estão falando? 
Como os ouvimos falar cada um na língua de nosso nascimento, 
partos, medas e elamitas, e os que habitam a Mesopotâmia, a Judéia e a Capadócia, o Ponto e a Ásia, 
a Frígia, a Panfília, o Egito e as partes da Líbia próximas a Cirene, e forasteiros romanos, sendo uns judeus e outros prosélitos, 
cretenses e árabes; como é que os ouvimos falar em nossas línguas as grandezas de Deus? 
Ficaram todos atônitos e perplexos, e perguntavam uns aos outros: Que quer isto dizer? 
Outros, porém, zombando, diziam: Estão cheios de mosto. 
Mas Pedro, estando em pé com os onze, levantou a voz e disse-lhes: Homens da Judéia e todos os que habitais em Jerusalém, seja-vos isto notório, e prestai ouvido às minhas palavras. 
Pois estes homens não estão embriagados, como vós supondes, visto que é ainda a hora terceira do dia; 
mas cumpre-se o que dissera o profeta Joel: 
E acontecerá nos últimos dias, diz o Senhor, Que derramarei do meu espírito sobre toda a carne; Vossos filhos e vossas filhas profetizarão, Vossos mancebos terão visões, E sonharão vossos anciãos; 
E sobre os meus servos e sobre as minhas servas Derramarei do meu Espírito naqueles dias, e profetizarão. 
Mostrarei prodígios em cima no céu E sinais em baixo na terra; Sangue, fogo e vapor de fumo. 
O Sol se converterá em trevas, E a lua em sangue, Antes que venha o grande e glorioso dia do Senhor. 
E acontecerá que todo aquele que invocar o nome do Senhor será salvo. 
Israelitas, ouvi estas palavras: Jesus o Nazareno, varão a quem Deus acreditou junto a vós com poderes, prodígios e sinais, que Deus fez por meio dele entre vós, como vós mesmos sabeis; 
sendo este entregue pelo determinado conselho e presciência de Deus, vós o matastes, crucificando-o por mãos de iníquos; 
ao qual Deus ressuscitou, desatando os laços da morte; porque não era possível que fosse por ela retido. 
Pois dele fala Davi: Diante de mim via sempre o Senhor, Porque está à minha direita, para que eu não seja abalado. 
Por isso se alegrou o meu coração e a minha língua exultou; Além disto também a minha carne repousará em esperança, 
Porque não deixarás a minha alma no Hades, Nem permitirás que o teu Santo veja a corrupção. 
Fizeste-me conhecer os caminhos da vida, Encher-me-ás de alegria na tua presença. 
Irmãos, é-me permitido dizer-vos ousadamente acerca do patriarca Davi, que ele morreu e foi sepultado, e o seu túmulo está entre nós até hoje. 
Sendo, pois, profeta, e sabendo que Deus lhe havia jurado que um dos seus descendentes seria colocado sobre o seu trono; 
prevendo isto, Davi falou da ressurreição de Cristo, que nem foi deixado no Hades, nem o seu corpo viu a corrupção. 
A este Jesus Deus ressuscitou, do que todos nós somos testemunhas. 
Exaltado, pois, pela destra de Deus e, tendo recebido do Pai a promessa do Espírito Santo, derramou o que vedes e ouvis. 
Pois Davi não subiu aos céus, mas ele mesmo declara: Disse o Senhor ao meu Senhor: Assenta-te à minha mão direita, 
Até que eu ponha os teus inimigos por escabelo de teus pés. 
Fique, pois, certa toda a casa de Israel de que a este Jesus que vós crucificastes, Deus o fez Senhor e Cristo. 
Ouvindo eles estas coisas, compungiram-se no seu coração e perguntaram a Pedro e aos demais apóstolos: Que faremos, irmãos? 
Respondeu-lhes Pedro: Arrependei-vos, e cada um de vós seja batizado em nome de Jesus Cristo para remissão de vossos pecados, e recebereis o dom do Espírito Santo. 
Pois para vós é a promessa e para vossos filhos, e para todos os que estão longe, a quantos chamar o Senhor nosso Deus. 
Com muitas outras palavras dava testemunho, e exortava-os, dizendo: Salvai-vos desta geração perversa. 
Os que receberam a sua palavra foram batizados, e foram admitidas naquele dia quase três mil pessoas; 
e perseveravam na doutrina dos apóstolos e na comunhão, no partir do pão e nas orações. 
Em cada alma havia temor, e muitos prodígios e milagres eram feitos pelos apóstolos. 
Todos os que criam, estavam unidos e tinham tudo em comum, 
e vendiam as suas propriedades e bens e os repartiam por todos, conforme a necessidade de cada um. 
Diariamente perseverando unânimes no templo, e partindo pão em casa, comiam com alegria e singeleza de coração, 
louvando a Deus e tendo a simpatia de todo o povo. Todos os dias acrescentava-lhes o Senhor os que se iam salvando. 

And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were all together in one place. 
And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rushing of a violent wind, and all the house where they were was full of it. 
And they saw tongues, like flames of fire, coming to rest on every one of them. 
And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power. 
Now there were living at Jerusalem, Jews, God-fearing men, from every nation under heaven. 
And when this sound came to their ears, they all came together, and were greatly surprised because every man was hearing the words of the disciples in his special language. 
And they were full of wonder and said, Are not all these men Galilaeans? 
And how is it that every one of us is hearing their words in the language which was ours from our birth? 
Men of Parthia, Media, and Elam, and those living in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, 
In Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews by birth and others who have become Jews, 
Men of Crete and Arabia, to all of us they are talking in our different languages, of the great works of God. 
And they were all surprised and in doubt saying to one another, What is the reason of this? 
But others, making sport of them, said, They are full of new wine. 
But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O men of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and give ear to my words. 
For these men are not overcome with wine, as it seems to you, for it is only the third hour of the day; 
But this is the thing which was said by the prophet Joel; 
And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams: 
And on my men-servants and my women-servants I will send my Spirit, and they will be prophets. 
And wonders will be seen in heaven, and signs on the earth, blood and fire and smoke: 
The sun will become dark and the moon will be turned to blood, before that great day of the Lord comes in glory: 
And whoever makes his prayer to the Lord will have salvation. 
Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge, 
Him, when he was given up, by the decision and knowledge of God, you put to death on the cross, by the hands of evil men: 
But God gave him back to life, having made him free from the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be overcome by it. 
For David said of him, I saw the Lord before my face at all times, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved: 
And for this cause my heart was glad and my tongue full of joy, and my flesh will be resting in hope: 
For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to destruction. 
You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face. 
My brothers, I may say to you openly that David came to his death, and was put in the earth, and his resting-place is with us today. 
But being a prophet, and having in mind the oath which God had given to him, that of the fruit of his body one would take his place as a king, 
He, having knowledge of the future, was talking of the coming again of Christ from the dead, that he was not kept in hell and his body did not see destruction. 
This Jesus God has given back to life, of which we all are witnesses. 
And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of. 
For David has not gone up into heaven, but says, himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, 
Till I put all those who are against you under your feet. 
For this reason, let all Israel be certain that this Jesus, whom you put to death on the cross, God has made Lord and Christ. 
Now when these words came to their ears their hearts were troubled, and they said to Peter and the other Apostles, Brothers, what are we to do? 
And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you. 
For the word of God is for you and for your children and for all those who are far off, even all those who may be marked out by the Lord our God. 
And with more such words he gave his witness, offering them salvation and saying, Come out from this evil generation. 
Then those who gave hearing to his words had baptism: and about three thousand souls were joined to them that day. 
And they kept their attention fixed on the Apostles' teaching and were united together in the taking of broken bread and in prayer. 
But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles. 
And all those who were of the faith kept together, and had all things in common; 
And exchanging their goods and property for money, they made division of it among them all, as they had need. 
And day by day, going in agreement together regularly to the Temple and, taking broken bread together in their houses, they took their food with joy and with true hearts, 
Giving praise to God, and having the approval of all the people; and every day the number of those who had salvation was increased by the Lord.
