14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, "You men of Judea and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words. 15 For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

17 ‘It will be in the last days, says God,

that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.

Your sons and your daughters will prophesy.

Your young men will see visions.

Your old men will dream dreams.

18 Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days,

I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

19 I will show wonders in the sky above,

and signs on the earth beneath:

blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

20 The sun will be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood,

before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

22 "Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, even as you yourselves know, 23 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed; 24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him,

‘I saw the Lord always before my face,

for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.

26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced.

Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,

27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades,

neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

28 You made known to me the ways of life.

You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

29 "Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay. 32 This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear. 34 For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself,

‘The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit by my right hand

35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."’

36 "Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."

37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"

38 Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself." 40 With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation!"

41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

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.
