14 Maar Petrus het opgestaan met die elf en sy stem verhef en hulle toegespreek: Joodse manne en almal wat in Jerusalem woon, dit moet julle weet, en luister na my woorde.
15 Hierdie mense is tog nie dronk soos julle dink nie, want dit is nog maar die derde uur in die môre .
16 Maar dit is wat deur die profeet Joël gespreek is:
17 En in die laaste dae, spreek God, sal Ek van my Gees uitstort op alle vlees, en julle seuns en julle dogters sal profeteer, en julle jongelinge sal gesigte sien, en julle ou mense sal drome droom.
18 En ook op my diensknegte en diensmaagde sal Ek in die dae van my Gees uitstort, en hulle sal profeteer.
19 En Ek sal wonders gee bo in die hemel en tekens onder op die aarde, bloed en vuur en rookdamp.
20 Die son sal verander in duisternis en die maan in bloed voordat die groot en deurlugtige dag van die Here kom.
21 En elkeen wat die Naam van die Here aanroep, sal gered word.
22 Israeliete, luister na hierdie woorde! Jesus, die Nasar,ner, 'n man deur God vir julle aangewys met kragte en wonders en tekens wat God deur Hom onder julle gedoen het, soos julle ook self weet --
23 Hom, wat deur die bepaalde raad en voorkennis van God oorgelewer is, het julle deur die hande van goddelose manne geneem en gekruisig en omgebring;
24 Hom het God opgewek, nadat Hy die smarte van die dood ontbind het, omdat dit onmoontlik was dat Hy daardeur vasgehou sou word.
25 Want Dawid sê van Hom: Ek het die Here altyddeur voor My gesien, want Hy is aan my regterhand, dat Ek nie sou wankel nie.
26 Daarom is my hart bly en my tong juig, ja, ook sal my vlees nog rus in hoop.
27 Want U sal my siel nie aan die doderyk oorlaat of u Heilige oorgee om verderwing te sien nie.
28 U het My die weë van die lewe bekend gemaak, U sal My vervul met vreugde by u aangesig.
29 Broeders, ek kan vry-uit met julle spreek oor die aartsvader Dawid, dat hy gesterf het en ook begrawe is, en sy graf is by ons tot vandag toe.
30 Omdat hy dan 'n profeet was en geweet het dat God vir hom met 'n eed gesweer het dat hy uit die vrug van sy lendene, wat die vlees betref, die Christus sou verwek om op sy troon te sit,
31 het hy, omdat hy dit vooruit gesien het, gespreek van die opstanding van Christus, dat sy siel nie in die doderyk verlaat is en sy vlees ook nie verderwing gesien het nie.
32 Hierdie Jesus het God opgewek, waarvan ons almal getuies is.
33 Nadat Hy dan deur die regterhand van God verhoog is en van die Vader die belofte van die Heilige Gees ontvang het, het Hy d¡t uitgestort, wat julle nou sien en hoor.
34 Want Dawid het nie in die hemele opgevaar nie, maar hy self sê: Die Here het gespreek tot my Here: Sit aan my regterhand
35 totdat Ek u vyande gemaak het 'n voetbank van u voete.
36 Laat dan die hele huis van Israel sekerlik weet dat God Hom Here en Christus gemaak het, hierdie Jesus wat julle gekruisig het.
37 Toe hulle dit hoor, is hulle diep in die hart getref en het vir Petrus en die ander apostels gesê: Wat moet ons doen, broeders?
38 En Petrus sê vir hulle: Bekeer julle, en laat elkeen van julle gedoop word in die Naam van Jesus Christus tot vergewing van sondes, en julle sal die gawe van die Heilige Gees ontvang.
39 Want die belofte kom julle toe en julle kinders en almal wat daar ver is, die wat die Here onse God na Hom sal roep.
40 En met baie ander woorde het hy hulle besweer en vermaan en gesê: Laat julle red uit hierdie verkeerde geslag.
41 Die wat toe sy woord met blydskap aangeneem het, is gedoop; en daar is op die dag omtrent drie duisend siele toegebring.
14 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.
15 For these men are not overcome with wine, as it seems to you, for it is only the third hour of the day;
16 But this is the thing which was said by the prophet Joel;
17 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:
18 And on my men-servants and my women-servants I will send my Spirit, and they will be prophets.
19 And wonders will be seen in heaven, and signs on the earth, blood and fire and smoke:
20 The sun will become dark and the moon will be turned to blood, before that great day of the Lord comes in glory:
21 And whoever makes his prayer to the Lord will have salvation.
22 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,
23 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:
24 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.
25 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:
26 And for this cause my heart was glad and my tongue full of joy, and my flesh will be resting in hope:
27 For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to destruction.
28 You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.
29 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.
30 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,
31 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.
32 This Jesus God has given back to life, of which we all are witnesses.
33 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.
34 For David has not gone up into heaven, but says, himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand,
35 Till I put all those who are against you under your feet.
36 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.
37 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?
38 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.
39 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.
40 And with more such words he gave his witness, offering them salvation and saying, Come out from this evil generation.
41 Then those who gave hearing to his words had baptism: and about three thousand souls were joined to them that day.
