2.2 De cœlo. Datur Spiritus de cœlo, ut diligatur Deus; in terra datur, ut diligatur proximus: bis enim post resurrectionem est datus ad duo præcepta charitatis commendanda. Sonus. Potest dici locutio linguarum de ore apostolorum sonans. Spiritus. Ante passionem datus est apostolis Spiritus ad gratiam doctrinæ et sanitatum; post resurrectionem insufflavit Jesus spiritum, et ait: Accipite Spiritum sanctum; quorum remiseritis peccata, remittuntur eis Joan. 20., etc. Quod donum soli Petro prius dederat: sed ut creditur tunc per anticipationem, nunc cum cæteris per completionem etiam Petro tribuitur: et potestas data est dimittendi illis quos ad officium mittebat prædicationis. Vehementis. Comparatione præcedentium vehemens dicitur gratia apostolorum, vel in similitudinem venti vehementis Spiritus venit. Totam domum. In una domo sedentibus infunditur Spiritus, ut Ecclesiæ unitas commendetur, in cœnaculo tertia lege incipiente. In datione legis plebs longe stabat præ timore; hic veniente Spiritu congregati erant in unum ex amore. Sedentes. Ut compleatur quod dictum erat eis: Sedete hic in civitate. Sessio est indicium humilitatis et stabilitatis: quibus præparatur sedes Spiritui sancto, qui super humiles requiescit. GREG. In igne apparuit Spiritus, sed per seipsum, etc., usque ad et voce sive sonitu docta sunt corda.
2.2 De cœlo. Datur Spiritus about cœlo, as diligatur God; in earth/land datur, as diligatur proximus: twice because after resurrectionem it_is datus to two præcepta charitatis commendanda. Sonus. Potest dici locutio linguarum about ore apostolorum sonans. Spiritus. Ante passionem datus it_is apostolis Spiritus to gratiam doctrinæ and sanitatum; after resurrectionem insufflavit Yesus spiritum, and ait: Accipite Spiritum sanctum; quorum remiseritis peccata, remittuntur eis Yoan. 20., etc. That donum soli Petro first/before dederat: but as he_believesur tunc per anticipationem, now cum cæteris per completionem also Petro tribuitur: and potestas data it_is dimittendi illis which to officium mittebat prædicationis. Vehementis. Comparatione præcedentium vehemens dicitur gratia apostolorum, or in similitudinem venti vehementis Spiritus venit. Totam domum. In una domo sedentibus infunditur Spiritus, as Ecclesiæ unitas commendetur, in cœnaculo tertia lege incipiente. In datione legis plebs longe stabat præ timore; this veniente Spiritu congregati they_were in unum ex amore. Sedentes. Ut compleatur that dictum was eis: Sedete this in civitate. Sessio it_is indicium humilitatis and stabilitatis: to_whom præparatur sedes Spiritui sancto, who super humiles requiescit. GREG. In igne apparuit Spiritus, but per seipsum, etc., usque to and voce if/or sonitu docta are corda.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
2:1-4 Jews observed three great annual pilgrimage festivals, when many would go to the Temple in Jerusalem—Unleavened Bread (which includes Passover), Pentecost (Harvest), and Shelters (see Lev 23:1-44). On Pentecost, when the Jewish people were gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the harvest of God’s blessings, and when the disciples were united and expectant as they gathered for prayer, the Holy Spirit came and filled the gathered believers.
ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
out_of ¬the heaven
The word translated heaven could mean: (1) “the sky.” Alternate translation: “from the sky” (2) the sound came from heaven itself.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὥσπερ φερομένης πνοῆς βιαίας
as /being/_carried ˱of˲_/a/_wind forceful
Luke is using a simile to describe what this wind was like. You could use the same simile in your translation, or you could use a different comparison, to a similar loud sound that your readers would recognize. It may be helpful to start a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “It sounded like a strong wind being borne along”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
φερομένης πνοῆς βιαίας
/being/_carried ˱of˲_/a/_wind forceful
Luke speaks of the wind as if it were being carried through the air. Alternate translation: “a mighty, rushing wind”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐπλήρωσεν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον
˱it˲_filled all the house
Luke speaks of this sound as if it filled the house. Alternate translation: “it could be heard throughout the house”
ὅλον τὸν οἶκον
all the house
Luke may be using the word translated house in one of its specific senses to mean a building. So this could have been either a private home or a larger building. Alternate translation: “the entire building”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
οὗ ἦσαν καθήμενοι
where ˱they˲_were sitting
Luke may be using the term sitting to mean “meeting.” Alternate translation: “in which they were meeting”
