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.

Vehementis. Comparatione præcedentium vehemens it_is_said gratia apostolorum, or in similitudinem venti vehementis Spiritus venit. Totam domum.

Sessio it_is indicium humilitatis and stabilitatis: to_whom præparatur sedes Spiritui sancto, who over humiles requiescit. GREG. In igne apparuit Spiritus, but through seipsum, etc., until to and voce if/or sonitu docta are corda.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

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]
