English onlyRead it word by word

Act 2:1Et cum complērentur diēs Pentēcostēs, erant omnēs pariter in eōdem locō: et factus est repente dē caelō sonus, tamquam advenientis spīritūs vehementis, et replēvit tōtam domum ubi erant sedentēs.And when the days of Pentecost were being completed, they were all together in the same place: and there came suddenly from heaven a sound, as of a violent wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Act 2:3Et appāruērunt illīs dispertītae linguae tamquam ignis, sēditque suprā singulōs eōrum: et replētī sunt omnēs Spīritū Sānctō, et coepērunt loquī variīs linguīs, prōut Spīritus Sānctus dabat ēloquī illīs.And there appeared to them divided tongues as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them: and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in various tongues, according as the Holy Spirit was granting them to speak out. Act 2:5Erant autem in Jerūsalem habitantēs Jūdaeī, virī religiōsī ex omnī nātiōne quae sub caelō est.Now there were living in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation which is under heaven. Act 2:6Factā autem hāc vōce, convēnit multitūdō, et mente cōnfūsa est, quoniam audiēbat ūnusquisque linguā suā illōs loquentēs.And this sound having been made, the multitude came together, and was confused in mind, since each one was hearing them speaking in his own tongue.

Act 2:7Stupēbant autem omnēs, et mīrābantur, dīcentēs: Nōnne ecce omnēs istī quī loquuntur, Galilaeī sunt?And all were stunned, and were wondering, saying: "Look, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? Act 2:8Et quōmodo nōs audīvimus ūnusquisque linguam nostram in quā nātī sumus?And how have we heard, each one, our own tongue in which we were born? Act 2:9Parthī, et Mēdī, et Aelamītae, et quī habitant Mesopotamiam, Jūdaeam, et Cappadociam, Pontum, et Asiam, Phrygiam, et Pamphȳliam, Aegyptum, et partēs Libyae quae est circā Cyrēnēn: et advenae Rōmānī, Jūdaeī quoque, et Prosēlytī, Crētēs, et Arabēs: audīvimus eōs loquentēs nostrīs linguīs magnālia Deī.Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those who live in Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya which is around Cyrene: and Roman visitors, Jews too, and Proselytes, Cretans, and Arabs: we have heard them speaking in our tongues the great works of God." Act 2:12Stupēbant autem omnēs, et mīrābantur ad invicem, dīcentēs: Quidnam vult hoc esse?And all were stunned, and were wondering to one another, saying: "What ever does this mean?" Act 2:13Aliī autem irrīdentēs dīcēbant: Quia mustō plēnī sunt istī.But others, mocking, were saying: "These men are full of new wine."

Act 2:14Stāns autem Petrus cum ūndecim, levāvit vōcem suam, et locūtus est eīs: Virī Jūdaeī, et quī habitātis Jerūsalem ūniversī, hoc vōbīs notum sit, et auribus percipite verba mea.But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: "Men of Judea, and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and take in my words with your ears. Act 2:15Nōn enim, sīcut vōs aestimātis, hī ēbriī sunt, cum sit hōra diēī tertia: sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophētam Jōël: [Et erit in novissimīs diēbus, dīcit Dominus, effundam dē Spīritū meō super omnem carnem: et prophētābunt fīliī vestrī et fīliae vestrae, et juvenēs vestrī vīsiōnēs vidēbunt, et seniōrēs vestrī somnia somniābunt.For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is the third hour of the day: but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: 'And it will be in the last days, says the Lord, I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your elders will dream dreams. Act 2:18Et quidem super servōs meōs, et super ancillās meās, in diēbus illīs effundam dē Spīritū meō, et prophētābunt: et dabō prōdigia in caelō sūrsum, et signa in terrā deorsum, sanguinem, et ignem, et vapōrem fūmī: sōl convertētur in tenebrās, et lūna in sanguinem, antequam veniat diēs Dominī magnus et manifestus.And indeed upon my menservants, and upon my maidservants, in those days I will pour out from my Spirit, and they will prophesy: and I will give wonders in heaven above, and signs on earth below, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: the sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the day of the Lord comes, great and manifest.

Act 2:21Et erit: omnis quīcumque invocāverit nōmen Dominī, salvus erit.] Virī Isrāëlītae, audīte verba haec: Jēsum Nazarēnum, virum approbātum ā Deō in vōbīs, virtūtibus, et prōdigiīs, et signīs, quae fēcit Deus per illum in mediō vestrī, sīcut et vōs scītis: hunc, dēfīnītō cōnsiliō et praescientiā Deī trāditum, per manūs inīquōrum afflīgentēs interēmistis: quem Deus suscitāvit, solūtīs dolōribus īnfernī, jūxtā quod impossibile erat tenērī illum ab eō.And it will be: everyone whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.' Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved by God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, which God did through him in your midst, as you also know: this man, handed over by the fixed counsel and foreknowledge of God, you killed, afflicting him by the hands of wicked men: whom God raised up, the pains of hell having been loosed, inasmuch as it was impossible for him to be held by it. Act 2:25David enim dīcit in eum: [Prōvidēbam Dominum in cōnspectū meō semper: quoniam ā dextrīs est mihi, nē commovear: propter hoc laetātum est cor meum, et exsultāvit lingua mea, īnsuper et carō mea requiēscet in spē: quoniam nōn dērelinquēs animam meam in īnfernō, nec dabis sānctum tuum vidēre corruptiōnem.For David says concerning him: 'I foresaw the Lord in my sight always: since he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved: on account of this my heart was glad, and my tongue exulted, and moreover my flesh too will rest in hope: since you will not abandon my soul in hell, nor will you grant your holy one to see corruption.

Act 2:28Notās mihi fēcistī viās vītae: et replēbis mē jūcunditāte cum faciē tuā.] Virī frātrēs, liceat audenter dīcere ad vōs dē patriarchā David, quoniam dēfūnctus est, et sepultus: et sepulchrum ejus est apud nōs ūsque in hodiernum diem.You have made known to me the ways of life: and you will fill me with gladness with your face.' Men, brothers, let it be allowed to speak boldly to you about the patriarch David, that he died, and was buried: and his tomb is among us until the present day. Act 2:30Prophēta igitur cum esset, et scīret quia Jūrejūrandō jūrāsset illī Deus dē frūctū lumbī ejus sedēre super sēdem ejus: prōvidēns locūtus est dē resurrēctiōne Chrīstī, quia neque dērelictus est in īnfernō, neque carō ejus vīdit corruptiōnem.Since therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath that from the fruit of his loins one would sit upon his seat: foreseeing it he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was neither abandoned in hell, nor did his flesh see corruption. Act 2:32Hunc Jēsum resuscitāvit Deus, cujus omnēs nōs testēs sumus.This Jesus God raised up again, of which we are all witnesses.

Act 2:33Dexterā igitur Deī exaltātus, et prōmissiōne Spīritūs Sānctī acceptā ā Patre, effūdit hunc, quem vōs vidētis et audītis.Exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and the promise of the Holy Spirit having been received from the Father, he has poured out this, which you see and hear. Act 2:34Nōn enim David ascendit in caelum: dīxit autem ipse: [Dīxit Dominus Dominō meō: Sedē ā dextrīs meīs, dōnec pōnam inimīcōs tuōs scabellum pedum tuōrum.] Certissimē sciat ergō omnis domus Isrāël, quia et Dominum eum et Chrīstum fēcit Deus hunc Jēsum, quem vōs crucifīxistis.For David did not go up into heaven: but he himself said: 'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.' Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus, whom you crucified." Act 2:37Hīs autem audītīs, compūnctī sunt corde, et dīxērunt ad Petrum et ad reliquōs Apostolōs: Quid faciēmus, virī frātrēs?Now these things having been heard, they were pierced in heart, and said to Peter and to the remaining Apostles: "What shall we do, men, brothers?"

Act 2:38Petrus vērō ad illōs: Poenitentiam, inquit, agite, et baptizētur ūnusquisque vestrum in nōmine Jēsū Chrīstī in remissiōnem peccātōrum vestrōrum: et accipiētis dōnum Spīritūs Sānctī.But Peter to them: "Repent," he says, "and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins: and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Act 2:39Vōbīs enim est reprōmissiō, et fīliīs vestrīs, et omnibus quī longē sunt, quōscumque advocāverit Dominus Deus noster.For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, whomever the Lord our God calls to him." Act 2:40Aliīs etiam verbīs plūrimīs testificātus est, et exhortābātur eōs, dīcēns: Salvāminī ā generātiōne istā prāvā.With very many other words too he bore witness, and was exhorting them, saying: "Be saved from this crooked generation." Act 2:41Quī ergō recēpērunt sermōnem ejus, baptizātī sunt: et appositae sunt in diē illā animae circiter tria mīllia.Those therefore who received his speech were baptized: and there were added on that day about three thousand souls. Act 2:42Erant autem persevērantēs in doctrīnā Apostolōrum, et commūnicātiōne frāctiōnis pānis, et ōrātiōnibus.And they were persevering in the teaching of the Apostles, and in the fellowship of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Act 2:43Fīēbat autem omnī animae timor: multa quoque prōdigia et signa per Apostolōs in Jerūsalem fīēbant, et metus erat magnus in ūniversīs.And fear came upon every soul: many wonders too and signs were being done through the Apostles in Jerusalem, and the fear was great among all. Act 2:44Omnēs etiam quī crēdēbant, erant pariter, et habēbant omnia commūnia.All too who believed were together, and had all things in common. Act 2:45Possessiōnēs et substantiās vēndēbant, et dīvidēbant illa omnibus, prōut cuique opus erat.Their possessions and goods they were selling, and dividing them to all, according as each one had need. Act 2:46Quotīdiē quoque perdūrantēs ūnanimiter in templō, et frangentēs circā domōs pānem, sūmēbant cibum cum exsultātiōne et simplicitāte cordis, collaudantēs Deum et habentēs grātiam ad omnem plēbem.Daily too, continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking food with exultation and simplicity of heart, praising God together and having favour with all the people. Act 2:47Dominus autem augēbat quī salvī fierent quotīdiē in idipsum.And the Lord was increasing daily those who were being saved, all together.
