EGINAK 2

Espiritu Santua apostoluen gainera jaitsi

1 Mendekoste-eguna iritsi zenean, toki berean bildurik zeuden guztiakt.t 2 Bat-batean, haize-boladarena bezalako burrunba etorri zen zerutik eta beraiek zeuden etxe guztian durundi egin zuen. 3 Orduan, suzko mihiak bezalako batzuk ikusi zituzten, bakoitzaren gainean bana kokatzen.t

4 Denak Espiritu Santuaz betet ziren eta hizkuntza arrotzez hitz egiten hasi, bakoitza Espirituak eragiten zion eran.
5 Egun haietan judu jainkozale asko ziren Jerusalemen, eguzkiaren azpian diren nazio guztietatik etorriak. 6 Burrunba hura entzutean, hara bildu zen jendea samaldan, eta txunditurik gelditu ziren, nork bere hizkuntzan hitz egiten entzuten baitzien. 7 Zur eta lurt, honela zioten: «Mintzo direnok, ez ote dira denak galilearrak? 8 Nola daiteke, bada, guretako bakoitzak bere jatorrizko hizkuntzan horiei entzutea? 9 Baditugu gurekin partiar, mediar nahiz elamdarrak; baita Mesopotamian, Judean nahiz Kapadozian, Ponton nahiz Asian bizi direnak ere; 10 badira gure artean Frigia nahiz Panfiliakoak, Egipto nahiz Zirene inguruko Libia aldekoak, baita erromatarrak eret;

11 eta denok, judu eta juduberrit t , kretar eta arabiar, Jainkoaren egintza miragarriak geure hizkuntzetan aipatzen entzuten diegu».

12 Harriturik eta zer pentsa ez zekitela, «Zer da hau?» galdezka ari ziren elkarren artean.

13 Beste batzuek, aldiz, honela zioten isekaz: «Edanak daude».

Pedroren hitzaldia

16 Ez, baizik eta Joel profetak esan zuena ari da hemen gertatzen:

17  «Hau dio Jainkoak: Azken egunetan
neure espiritua tisuriko diet
gizaki guztiei.
Zuen seme-alabek
profetizatu egingo dute,
zuen gazteek ikuskariak izango,
zuen zaharrek ametsak egingo.

18  Neure morroi eta mirabeei ere
neure espiritua isuriko diet
egun haietan
eta profetizatu egingo dute.

19  Gauza harrigarriak egingo ditut
goian, zeruan,
eta mirariak behean, lurrean:
odola eta sua eta ke-lainoa.

20  Eguzkia ilunpe bihurtuko da,
ilargiak odol-itxura hartuko du,
Jaunaren eguna,
egun handi eta ospetsua,
iritsi baino lehen.

21  Orduan, Jaunari dei egin diezaiona t
salbatuko da. t
22 «Entzun hau, israeldarrok: Guztiok dakizuenez, Jainkoak Jesus Nazaretarra zuen aurrean sinesgarri egin zuen, mirariak eta egintza ahaltsu eta harrigarriak haren eskuz eginez.t 23 Jainkoak zuen eskuetara eman zuen, bere asmoaren eta aurrez hartutako erabakiaren arabera, eta zuek gurutzean josi eta hil egin zenuten sinesgabeent eskuz.t 24 Baina Jainkoak piztut egin zuen, Herioarent lokarrietatik askatuz, Herioak ezin baitzuen hura bere menpe eduki.

25 Izan ere, honela dio Davidek hartaz:
«Begi aurrean t dut Jauna etengabe;
bera ondoan dudala,
ez naiteke koloka.

26  Horregatik, alai daukat bihotza,
pozez kantari mihia,
itxaropenean lasai gorputza.

27  Ez bainauzu Herio Leizera botako,
zure fededuna ez duzu
hilobian galtzen t utziko. t

28  Bizirako bidea erakutsiko didazu:
zeure aurrean alaitasunez beteko.
29 «Senideok, uztazue argi eta garbi esaten Davidt gure arbasoa hil egin zela eta lur eman ziotela, eta hor dugu gaur ere haren hilobia. 30 Baina profeta zen eta bazekien hark Jainkoak zin eginez hitzeman ziona: beraren odoleko bat ezarriko zuela bere tronuan.t 31 Beraz, aurrez ikusi zuen Mesias piztuko zela, eta honetaz mintzo zen hau esatean: ez zuela Jainkoak Herio Leizera botako eta ez zela haren gorputza hilobian galduko. 32 Jesus hau piztu egin du Jainkoak, eta gu guztiok gara lekuko.t 33 Jainkoak bere eskuinaldera altxatu duelarikt, hitzemandako Espiritu Santua hartu du Aitarengandik eta guri isuri; hauxe da zuek ikusten eta entzuten ari zaretena.t

34 David ez zen zerura igo; hala ere, hau dio:
«Hona Jaunak ene Jaunari esana:
“Eseri nire eskuinean, t

35  zeure etsaiak oinazpian
jartzen dizkizudan bitartean”.

36 «Jakin beza ongi, beraz, Israel herri osoak Jaunt eta Mesias egin duela Jainkoak, zuek gurutziltzatu zenuten Jesus hau».

37 Hitz hauek bihotzean zirrara egin zieten, eta Pedrori eta gainerako apostoluei galdetu zieten:
—Zer egin behar dugut, anaiok?

38 Pedrok erantzun zien:
—Bihozberrit zaitezte eta bataiatu guztiok, Jesus Mesiasen izenean bekatuak barka dakizkizuen, eta Espiritu Santua hartuko duzue dohain.

39 Zuentzat eta zuen seme-alabentzat agindu baitzuen Jainkoak dohain hau, baita Jainko gure Jaunak deituko dituen atzerritart guztientzat ere.t

40 Beste hitz askoren bidez egiten zien Pedrok testigantza eta arren eskatzen zien: «Salba zaitezte gizaldit honi datorkion hondamenditik».
41 Pedroren hitza onartu zutenak bataiatu egin ziren, eta egun hartan hiruren bat mila lagun elkartu zitzaizkion taldeari.t

42 Denak apostoluen irakaspenak entzuteari eta elkarte-bizitzari emanak bizi ziren, ogi-zatitzea eta otoitza elkarrekin egiten zituztelarikt.t

Fededun-elkartearen bizimodua

Acts 2

The Holy Spirit and the Day of Pentecost

1 Nowt when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.2 Suddenlyt a soundt like a violent wind blowingt came from heavent and filled the entire house where they were sitting.3 And tongues spreading out like a firet appeared to them and came to rest on each one of them.

4 Allt of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languagests as the Spirit enabled them.t
5 Now there were devout Jewst from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem.ts6 When this soundt occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion,t because each one heard them speaking in his own language.7 Completely baffled, they said,t “Aren’tt all these who are speaking Galileans?8 And how is it that each one of us hears themt in our own native language?t9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and the province of Asia,t10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene,t and visitors from Rome,s11 both Jews and proselytes,s Cretans and Arabs – we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great deeds God has done!”t12 All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

13 But others jeered at the speakers,t saying, “They are drunk on new wine!”ts

Peter’s Address on the Day of Pentecost

14 But Peter stood upt with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: “You men of Judeat and all you who live in Jerusalem,s know thist and listen carefully to what I say.15 In spite of what you think, these men are not drunk,t for it is only nine o’clock in the morning.t

16 But this is what was spoken about through the prophet Joel:s

17 ‘And in the last dayssit will be,’ God says,
‘that I will pour out my Spirit on all people,t
and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
and your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.

18 Even on my servants,tboth men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.s

19 And I will perform wonders in the skytabove
and miraculous signston the earth below,
blood and fire and clouds of smoke.

20 The sun will be changed to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the great and glorioustday of the Lord comes.

21 And thenteveryone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’s
22 “Men of Israel,t listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man clearly attested to you by God with powerful deeds,t wonders, and miraculous signst that God performed among you through him, just as you yourselves know –23 this man, who was handed over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executedt by nailing him to a cross at the hands of Gentiles.t24 But God raised him up,t having releasedt him from the painss of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.t

25 For David says about him,
‘I saw the Lord always in front of me,t
for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.

26 Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced;
my bodytalso will live in hope,

27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades,t
nor permit your Holy One to experiencetdecay.

28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of joy with your presence.’s
29 “Brothers,t I can speak confidentlys to you about our forefathert David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.30 So then, becauset he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendantston his throne,s31 David by foreseeing thist spoke about the resurrection of the Christ,ts that he was neither abandoned to Hades,t nor did his bodytexperiencetdecay.s32 This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses of it.t33 So then, exaltedt to the right hands of God, and having receivedt the promise of the Holy Spiritt from the Father, he has poured outs what you both see and hear.

34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says,
‘The Lord said to my lord,
“Sitsat my right hand

35 until I make your enemies a footstoolsfor your feet.”’s

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubtt that God has made this Jesus whom you crucifiedt both Lords and Christ.”ts

The Response to Peter’s Address

37 Now when they heard this,t they were acutely distressedt and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “What should we do, brothers?”38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each one of you be baptizedt in the name of Jesus Christts fort the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.t39 For the promises is for you and your children, and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”40 With many other words he testifiedt and exhorted them saying, “Save yourselves from this perverset generation!”

41 So those who acceptedt his messaget were baptized, and that day about three thousand peoplet were added.t

The Fellowship of the Early Believers

42 They were devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship,s to the breaking of bread and to prayer.t43 Reverential awet came over everyone,t and many wonders and miraculous signst came about by the apostles.44 All who believed were together and heldt everything in common,45 and they began sellingt their propertyt and possessions and distributing the proceedst to everyone, as anyone had need.46 Every dayt they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts,t breaking bread fromt house to house, sharing their food with glads and humble hearts,t

47 praising God and having the good willt of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every dayt those who were being saved.
