¹And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

¹በዓለ ኀምሳ የተባለውም ቀን በደረሰ ጊዜ፥ ሁሉም በአንድ ልብ ሆነው አብረው ሳሉ፥

²And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

²ድንገት እንደሚነጥቅ ዓውሎ ነፋስ ከሰማይ ድምፅ መጣ፥ ተቀምጠው የነበሩበትንም ቤት ሁሉ ሞላው።

³And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

³እንደ እሳትም የተከፋፈሉ ልሳኖች ታዩአቸው፤ በያንዳንዳቸውም ላይ ተቀመጡባቸው።

⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

⁴በሁሉም መንፈስ ቅዱስ ሞላባቸው፥ መንፈስም ይናገሩ ዘንድ እንደ ሰጣቸው በሌላ ልሳኖች ይናገሩ ጀመር።

⁵And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

⁵ከሰማይም በታች ካሉ ሕዝብ ሁሉ በጸሎት የተጉ አይሁድ በኢየሩሳሌም ይኖሩ ነበር፤

⁶Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

⁶ይህም ድምፅ በሆነ ጊዜ ሕዝብ ሁሉ ተሰበሰቡ፥ እያንዳንዱም በገዛ ቋንቋው ሲናገሩ ይሰማ ስለ ነበር የሚሉትን አጡ።

⁷And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

⁷ተገርመውም ተደንቀውም እንዲህ አሉ። እነሆ፥ እነዚህ የሚናገሩት ሁሉ የገሊላ ሰዎች አይደሉምን?

⁸And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

⁸እኛም እያንዳንዳችን የተወለድንበትን የገዛ ቋንቋችንን እንዴት እንሰማለን?

⁹Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

⁹የጳርቴና የሜድ የኢላሜጤም ሰዎች፥ በሁለት ወንዝም መካከል በይሁዳም በቀጰዶቅያም በጳንጦስም በእስያም፥

¹⁰Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

¹⁰በፍርግያም በጵንፍልያም በግብፅም በቀሬናም በኩል ባሉት በሊቢያ ወረዳዎች የምንኖር፥ በሮሜም የምንቀመጥ፥ አይሁድም ወደ ይሁዲነትም የገባን፥

¹¹Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

¹¹የቀርጤስና የዓረብ ሰዎች፥ የእግዚአብሔርን ታላቅ ሥራ በልሳኖቻችን ሲናገሩ እንሰማቸዋለን።

¹²And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

¹²ሁሉም ተገረሙና አመንትተው እርስ በርሳቸው። እንጃ ይህ ምን ይሆን? አሉ።

¹³Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

¹³ሌሎች ግን እያፌዙባቸው። ጉሽ የወይን ጠጅ ጠግበዋል አሉ።

¹⁴But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

¹⁴ነገር ግን ጴጥሮስ ከአሥራ አንዱ ጋር ቆመ፥ ድምፁንም ከፍ አድርጎ እንዲህ ሲል ተናገራቸው። አይሁድ በኢየሩሳሌምም የምትኖሩ ሁላችሁ፥ ይህ በእናንተ ዘንድ የታወቀ ይሁን፥ ቃሎቼንም አድምጡ።

¹⁵For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

¹⁵ለእናንተ እንደ መሰላችሁ እነዚህ የሰከሩ አይደሉም፥ ከቀኑ ሦስተኛ ሰዓት ነውና፤

¹⁶But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

¹⁶ነገር ግን ይህ በነቢዩ በኢዩኤል የተባለው ነው።

¹⁷And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

¹⁷እግዚአብሔር ይላል። በመጨረሻው ቀን እንዲህ ይሆናል፤ ሥጋ በለበሰ ሁሉ ላይ ከመንፈሴ አፈሳለሁ፤ ወንዶችና ሴቶች ልጆቻችሁም ትንቢት ይናገራሉ፥ ጎበዞቻችሁም ራእይ ያያሉ፥ ሽማግሌዎቻችሁም ሕልም ያልማሉ፤

¹⁸And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

¹⁸ደግሞም በዚያች ወራት በወንዶችና በሴቶች ባሪያዎቼ ላይ ከመንፈሴ አፈሳለሁ ትንቢትም ይናገራሉ።

¹⁹And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

¹⁹ድንቆችን በላይ በሰማይ፥ ምልክቶችንም በታች በምድር እሰጣለሁ፤ ደምም እሳትም የጢስ ጭጋግም ይሆናል፤

²⁰The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

²⁰ታላቅ የሆነ የተሰማም የጌታ ቀን ሳይመጣ ፀሐይ ወደ ጨለማ ጨረቃም ወደ ደም ይለወጣሉ።

²¹And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

²¹የጌታን ስም የሚጠራም ሁሉ ይድናል።

²²Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

²²የእስራኤል ሰዎች ሆይ፥ ይህን ቃል ስሙ፤ ራሳችሁ እንደምታውቁ፥ የናዝሬቱ ኢየሱስ እግዚአብሔር በመካከላችሁ በእርሱ በኩል ባደረገው ተአምራትና በድንቆች በምልክቶችም ከእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ ለእናንተ የተገለጠ ሰው ነበረ፤

²³Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

²³እርሱንም በእግዚአብሔር በተወሰነው አሳቡና በቀደመው እውቀቱ ተሰጥቶ በዓመፀኞች እጅ ሰቅላችሁ ገደላችሁት።

²⁴Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

²⁴እግዚአብሔር ግን የሞትን ጣር አጥፍቶ አስነሣው፥ ሞት ይይዘው ዘንድ አልቻለምና።

²⁵For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

²⁵ዳዊት ስለ እርሱ እንዲህ ይላልና። ጌታን ሁልጊዜ በፊቴ አየሁት፥ እንዳልታወክ በቀኜ ነውና።

²⁶Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

²⁶ስለዚህ ልቤን ደስ አለው፥ ልሳኔም ሐሤት አደረገ፥ ደግሞም ሥጋዬ በተስፋ ያድራል፤

²⁷Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

²⁷ነፍሴን በሲኦል አትተዋትምና፥ ቅዱስህንም መበስበስን ያይ ዘንድ አትሰጠውም።

²⁸Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

²⁸የሕይወትን መንገድ አስታወቅኸኝ፤ ከፊትህ ጋር ደስታን ትሞላብኛለህ።

²⁹Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

²⁹ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ ስለ አባቶች አለቃ ስለ ዳዊት እንደ ሞተም እንደ ተቀበረም ለእናንተ በግልጥ እናገር ዘንድ ፍቀዱልኝ፤ መቃብሩም እስከ ዛሬ በእኛ ዘንድ ነው።

³⁰Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

³⁰ነቢይ ስለ ሆነ፥ ከወገቡም ፍሬ በዙፋኑ ያስቀምጥ ዘንድ እግዚአብሔር መሐላ እንደ ማለለት ስለ አወቀ፥

³¹He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

³¹ስለ ክርስቶስ ትንሣኤ አስቀድሞ አይቶ፥ ነፍሱ በሲኦል እንዳልቀረች ሥጋውም መበስበስን እንዳላየ ተናገረ።

³²This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

³²ይህን ኢየሱስን እግዚአብሔር አስነሣው ለዚህም ነገር እኛ ሁላችን ምስክሮች ነን፤

³³Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

³³ስለዚህ በእግዚአብሔር ቀኝ ከፍ ከፍ ብሎና የመንፈስ ቅዱስን የተስፋ ቃል ከአብ ተቀብሎ ይህን እናንተ አሁን የምታዩትንና የምትሰሙትን አፈሰሰው።

³⁴For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

³⁴ዳዊት ወደ ሰማያት አልወጣምና፥ ነገር ግን እርሱ። ጌታ ጌታዬን። ጠላቶችህን የእግርህ መረገጫ እስካደርግልህ ድረስ በቀኜ ተቀመጥ አለው

³⁵Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

³⁶አለ። እንግዲህ ይህን እናንተ የሰቀላችሁትን ኢየሱስን እግዚአብሔር ጌታም ክርስቶስም እንዳደረገው የእስራኤል ወገን ሁሉ በእርግጥ ይወቅ።

³⁶Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

³⁷ይህንም በሰሙ ጊዜ ልባቸው ተነካ፥ ጴጥሮስንና ሌሎችንም ሐዋርያት። ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ ምን እናድርግ? አሉአቸው።

³⁷Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

³⁸ጴጥሮስም። ንስሐ ግቡ፥ ኃጢአታችሁም ይሰረይ ዘንድ እያንዳንዳችሁ በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ስም ተጠመቁ፤ የመንፈስ ቅዱስንም ስጦታ ትቀበላላችሁ።

³⁸Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

³⁹የተስፋው ቃል ለእናንተና ለልጆቻችሁ ጌታ አምላካችንም ወደ እርሱ ለሚጠራቸው በሩቅ ላሉ ሁሉ ነውና አላቸው።

³⁹For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.

⁴⁰በብዙ ሌላ ቃልም መሰከረና። ከዚህ ጠማማ ትውልድ ዳኑ ብሎ መከራቸው።

⁴⁰And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

⁴¹ቃሉንም የተቀበሉ ተጠመቁ፥ በዚያም ቀን ሦስት ሺህ የሚያህል ነፍስ ተጨመሩ፤

⁴¹Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

⁴²በሐዋርያትም ትምህርትና በኅብረት እንጀራውንም በመቍረስ በየጸሎቱም ይተጉ ነበር።

⁴²And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

⁴³ነገር ግን በሰው ሁሉ ፍርሀት ሆነ፤ በሐዋርያትም እጅ ብዙ ድንቅና ምልክት ተደረገ።

⁴³And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

⁴⁴ያመኑትም ሁሉ አብረው ነበሩ፤

⁴⁴And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

⁴⁵ያላቸውንም ሁሉ አንድነት አደረጉ። መሬታቸውንና ጥሪታቸውንም እየሸጡ፥ ማንኛውም እንደሚፈልግ ለሁሉ ያካፍሉት ነበር።

⁴⁵And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

⁴⁶በየቀኑም በአንድ ልብ ሆነው በመቅደስ እየተጉ በቤታቸውም እንጀራ እየቈረሱ፥ በደስታና በጥሩ ልብ ምግባቸውን ይመገቡ ነበር፤

⁴⁶And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

⁴⁷እግዚአብሔርንም እያመሰገኑ በሕዝብ ሁሉ ፊት ሞገስ ነበራቸው። ጌታም የሚድኑትን ዕለት ዕለት በእነርሱ ላይ ይጨምር ነበር።

⁴⁷Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
