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.
14 彼得和十一使徒站起来， 他高声对众人说： "犹太人和所有住在耶路撒冷的人哪， 你们应当明白这件事， 也应该留心听我的话。
15 这些人并不是照你们所想的喝醉了， 现在不过是上午九点钟罢了。
16 这正是约珥先知所说的：
17 ‘ 神说： 在末后的日子， 我要把我的灵浇灌所有的人， 你们的儿女要说预言， 你们的青年人要见异象， 你们的老年人要作异梦。
18 在那些日子， 我也要把我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女， 他们就要说预言。
19 我要在天上显出奇事， 在地上显出神迹， 有血、有火、有烟雾；
20 太阳将变为黑暗， 月亮将变为血红， 在主伟大显赫的日子临到以前， 这一切都要发生。
21 那时， 凡求告主名的， 都必得救。’
22 "以色列人哪， 请听听这几句话： 正如你们所知道的， 神已经借着拿撒勒人耶稣在你们中间施行了大能、奇事、神迹， 向你们证明他是 神所立的。
23 他照着 神的定旨和预知被交了出去， 你们就借不法之徒的手， 把他钉死了。
24 神却把死的痛苦解除， 使他复活了， 因为他不能被死亡拘禁。
25 大卫指着他说： ‘我时常看见主在我面前， 因他在我右边， 我必不会动摇。
26 为此我的心快乐， 我的口舌欢呼， 我的肉身也要安居在盼望中。
27 因你必不把我的灵魂撇在阴间， 也必不容你的圣者见朽坏。
28 你已经把生命之路指示了我， 必使我在你面前有满足的喜乐。’
29 "弟兄们， 关于祖先大卫的事， 我不妨坦白告诉你们， 他死了， 葬了， 直到今日他的坟墓还在我们这里。
30 他是先知， 既然知道 神向他起过誓， 要从他的后裔中立一位， 坐在他的宝座上，
31 又预先看见了这事， 就讲论基督的复活说： ‘他不会被撇在阴间， 他的肉身也不见朽坏。’
32 这位耶稣， 神已经使他复活了， 我们都是这事的见证人。
33 他既然被高举到 神的右边， 从父领受了所应许的圣灵， 就把他浇灌下来， 这就是你们所看见所听见的。
34 大卫并没有升到天上， 他却说： ‘主对我主说： 你坐在我的右边，
35 等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳。’
36 因此， 以色列全家应当确实知道， 你们钉在十字架上的这位耶稣， 神已经立他为主为基督了。"
37 他们听了以后， 觉得扎心， 就对彼得和其余的使徒说： "弟兄们， 我们应当作什么呢？"
38 彼得说： "你们应当悔改， 并且每一个人都要奉耶稣基督的名受洗， 使你们的罪得赦， 就必领受所赐的圣灵。
39 这应许原是给你们和你们的儿女， 以及所有在远方的人， 就是给凡是我们主 神召来归他的人。"
40 彼得还用许多别的话， 郑重作证， 并且劝勉他们， 说： "你们应当救自己脱离这弯曲的世代！ "
41 于是接受他话的人都受了洗， 那一天门徒增加了约三千人。
