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

¹And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place.

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

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

³እንደ እሳትም የተከፋፈሉ ልሳኖች ታዩአቸው፤ በያንዳንዳቸውም ላይ ተቀመጡባቸው።

³And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.

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

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

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

⁵Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.

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

⁶And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language.

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

⁷And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilaeans?

⁸እኛም እያንዳንዳችን የተወለድንበትን የገዛ ቋንቋችንን እንዴት እንሰማለን?

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹¹Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God.

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

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

¹³ሌሎች ግን እያፌዙባቸው። ጉሽ የወይን ጠጅ ጠግበዋል አሉ።

¹³But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.

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

¹⁴But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, [saying], Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words.

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

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

¹⁶ነገር ግን ይህ በነቢዩ በኢዩኤል የተባለው ነው።

¹⁶but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:

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

¹⁷And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth 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:

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

¹⁸Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.

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

¹⁹And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:

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

²⁰The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable [day].

²¹የጌታን ስም የሚጠራም ሁሉ ይድናል።

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

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

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

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

²³him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay:

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

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

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

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

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

²⁶Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:

²⁷ነፍሴን በሲኦል አትተዋትምና፥ ቅዱስህንም መበስበስን ያይ ዘንድ አትሰጠውም።

²⁷Because thou wilt not leave my soul unto Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption.

²⁸የሕይወትን መንገድ አስታወቅኸኝ፤ ከፊትህ ጋር ደስታን ትሞላብኛለህ።

²⁸Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.

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

²⁹Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day.

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

³⁰Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set [one] upon his throne;

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

³¹he foreseeing [this] spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left unto Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

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

³²This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses.

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

³³Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear.

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

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

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

³⁵Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

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

³⁶Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.

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

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

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

³⁸And Peter [said] unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

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

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

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

⁴⁰And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation.

⁴²በሐዋርያትም ትምህርትና በኅብረት እንጀራውንም በመቍረስ በየጸሎቱም ይተጉ ነበር።

⁴¹They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added [unto them] in that day about three thousand souls.

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

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

⁴⁴ያመኑትም ሁሉ አብረው ነበሩ፤

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

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

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

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

⁴⁵and they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need.

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

⁴⁶And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,

⁴⁷praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved.
