Acts 13:32-39 ALT (32) "And _we_ proclaim [to] you* the Gospel, [which is] the promise having been made to the fathers, (33) that God has fulfilled this [promise] for us their children, having raised up Jesus, as it also has been written in the second Psalm, 'You are My Son; today _ I_ have begotten You.' [Psalm 2:7] (34) "And that He raised Him up from [the] dead, no longer being about [fig., subject] to return to corruption, He has said in this way, 'I will give to you* the holy [and] trustworthy [promises] of David.' [Isaiah 55:3] (35) And so He says in another [Psalm], 'You will not give [fig., allow] Your Holy One to see corruption.' [Psalm 16:10] (36) "For David indeed, having served his own generation by the counsel [or, plan] of God, fell asleep [fig., died], and he was added to [fig., buried with] his fathers and saw corruption. (37) But [He] whom God raised up did not see corruption. (38) "Therefore, let it be known to you*, men, brothers, that through this One the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you*, (39) and from all [the things] from which you* were not able to be justified [or, declared righteous] by the Law of Moses, in this One every [one] believing is justified!

Acts 13:32-39 BBE (32) And we are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the fathers, (33) Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being. (34) And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David. (35) Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction. (36) Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction: (37) But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction. (38) And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you: (39) And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.

(Acts 13:32-39) 32 “And so we are declaring to YOU the good news about the promise made to the forefathers, 33 that God has entirely fulfilled it to us their children in that he resurrected Jesus; even as it is written in the second psalm, ‘You are my son, I have become your Father this day.’ 34 And that fact that he resurrected him from the dead destined no more to return to corruption, he has stated in this way, ‘I will give YOU people the loving-kindnesses to David that are faithful.’ 35 Hence he also says in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your loyal one to see corruption.’ 36 For David, on the one hand, served the express will of God in his own generation and fell asleep [in death] and was laid with his forefathers and did see corruption. 37 On the other hand, he whom God raised up did not see corruption. 38 “Let it therefore be known to YOU, brothers, that through this One a forgiveness of sins is being published to YOU; 39 and that from all the things from which YOU could not be declared guiltless by means of the law of Moses, everyone who believes is declared guiltless by means of this One.

Acts 13:32-39 CEV (32) God made a promise to our ancestors. And we are here to tell you the good news (33) that he has kept this promise to us. It is just as the second Psalm says about Jesus, "You are my son because today I have become your Father." (34) God raised Jesus from death and will never let his body decay. It is just as God said, "I will make to you the same holy promise that I made to David." (35) And in another psalm it says, "God will never let the body of his Holy One decay." (36) When David was alive, he obeyed God. Then after he died, he was buried in the family grave, and his body decayed. (37) But God raised Jesus from death, and his body did not decay. (38) My friends, the message is that Jesus can forgive your sins! The Law of Moses could not set you free from all your sins. (39) But everyone who has faith in Jesus is set free.
