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

¹Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

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

²Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

³እንደ እሳትም የተከፋፈሉ ልሳኖች ታዩአቸው፤ በያንዳንዳቸውም ላይ ተቀመጡባቸው።

³Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.

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

⁴They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

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

⁵Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

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

⁶When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

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

⁷They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?

⁸እኛም እያንዳንዳችን የተወለድንበትን የገዛ ቋንቋችንን እንዴት እንሰማለን?

⁸How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?

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

⁹Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

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

¹⁰Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

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

¹¹Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”

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

¹²They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, “What does this mean?”

¹³ሌሎች ግን እያፌዙባቸው። ጉሽ የወይን ጠጅ ጠግበዋል አሉ።

¹³Others, 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 spoke out to them, “You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

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

¹⁵For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day about 9:00 AM .

¹⁶ነገር ግን ይህ በነቢዩ በኢዩኤል የተባለው ነው።

¹⁶But this is what has 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፤

¹⁷‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

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

¹⁸Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

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

¹⁹I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

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

²⁰The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

²¹የጌታን ስም የሚጠራም ሁሉ ይድናል።

²¹It will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ Joel 2:28-32

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

²²“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,

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

²³him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

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

²⁴whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

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

²⁵For David says concerning him, ‘I saw 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 will dwell in hope;

²⁷ነፍሴን በሲኦል አትተዋትምና፥ ቅዱስህንም መበስበስን ያይ ዘንድ አትሰጠውም።

²⁷because you will not leave my soul in Hades or, Hell , neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

²⁸የሕይወትን መንገድ አስታወቅኸኝ፤ ከፊትህ ጋር ደስታን ትሞላብኛለህ።

²⁸You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’ Psalm 16:8-11

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

²⁹“Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

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

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

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

³¹he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul left in Hades or, Hell , nor did his flesh see decay.

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

³²This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.

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

³³Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.

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

³⁴For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand,

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

³⁵until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’ Psalm 110:1

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

³⁶“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

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

³⁷Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

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

³⁸Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

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

³⁹For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

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

⁴⁰With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

⁴²በሐዋርያትም ትምህርትና በኅብረት እንጀራውንም በመቍረስ በየጸሎቱም ይተጉ ነበር።

⁴¹Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

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

⁴²They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

⁴⁴ያመኑትም ሁሉ አብረው ነበሩ፤

⁴³Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

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

⁴⁴All who believed were together, and had all things in common.

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

⁴⁵They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

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

⁴⁶Day by day, continuing steadfastly 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. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
