使徒行传2:1-47
Jews from all over the world were in Jerusalem for the Feast of Pentecost. Jesus' followers were there, too. They gathered together, waiting for the gift Jesus had promised them.
各地的犹太人来到耶路撒冷庆祝五旬节。耶稣的门徒也在城里。他们聚集在一起，等候上帝将要赐给他们的礼物，因为耶稣曾应许他们。
In the middle of the festival, God's gift arrived. It began with a sound, a sound like a howling wind that filled the house where they were waiting.  Next, something that looked like fire settled on each one of them. Then God's Holy Spirit filled everyone in the room, and He gave them power to speak different languages!
正当他们过节的时候，上帝的礼物到了。先是有响声，好像大风吹过，充满他们所在的房子。接着，仿佛有火焰在他们各人身上，他们就都被圣灵充满，按照圣灵所赐的能力说起其他国家的语言来。
Jews from other parts of the world heard them and were amazed. These people are speaking our languages," they said, "and proclaiming the wonderful things God has done!"  "This is God’s gift," Peter explained. It was promised long ago. It comes to us through Jesus, the Messiah. You crucified Him, but God brought Him back to life."
来自其他国家的犹太人听见他们说的话，感到非常惊奇，说：“这些人竟说着我们的语言，讲述上帝的奇妙作为！”“这是上帝所赐的礼物，”彼得解释说。“上帝早已预备好，如今藉着耶稣，就是救主弥赛亚，赐给我们。你们虽然把他钉了十字架，上帝却使他从死里复活了”
"What should we do?" the people asked, sadly. "Turn away from evil," said Peter. "Believe in Jesus Christ. He will forgive your sins and give you His Holy Spirit."
那些人听了，就忧愁地问：“我们应该怎样做呢？”彼得说：“要远离罪恶，并且信耶稣，他必赦免你的罪，并将圣灵赐绐你。”
On that day, three thousand people were baptized. They were just the first of many people who would come to trust in Jesus as their Savior.
在那天，约三千人受洗成为耶稣的门徒。他们是第一批接受耶稣作为救主的人，在他们之后还有很多人信了耶稣。
