1ܘܟܕ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܦܢܛܩܘܤܛܐ ܟܕ ܟܢܝܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܀
1Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܩܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܘܚܐ ܥܙܝܙܬܐ ܘܐܬܡܠܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܟܠܗ ܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܝܬܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀
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.
3ܘܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܫܢܐ ܕܡܬܦܠܓܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܝܬܒܘ ܥܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܀
3Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4ܘܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܐܩܦܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܒܠܫܢ ܠܫܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܝܗܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܀
4They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
5ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܥܡܡܐ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܀
5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
6ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܐ ܗܘ ܟܢܫ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܫܬܓܫ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܠܫܢܝܗܘܢ ܀
6When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
7ܬܗܝܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܐ ܓܠܝܠܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܀
7They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?
8ܐܝܟܢܐ ܚܢܢ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܠܫܢܗ ܕܒܗ ܝܠܝܕܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܀
8How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
9ܦܪܬܘܝܐ ܘܡܕܝܐ ܘܐܠܢܝܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܢܗܪܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܩܦܘܕܩܝܐ ܘܕܡܢ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܦܢܛܘܤ ܘܕܐܤܝܐ ܀
9Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
10ܘܕܡܢ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܦܪܘܓܝܐ ܘܕܦܡܦܘܠܝܐ ܘܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܕܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܠܘܒܐ ܕܩܪܝܒܝܢ ܠܩܘܪܝܢܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܪܗܘܡܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܓܝܘܪܐ ܀
10Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11ܘܕܡܢ ܩܪܛܐ ܘܥܪܒܝܐ ܗܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܒܠܫܢܝܢ ܕܝܠܢ ܬܕܡܪܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
11Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
12ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܬܘܝܪܝܢ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܕܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܀
12They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, “What does this mean?”
13ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܡܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܐܪܝܬܐ ܐܫܬܝܘ ܘܪܘܝܘ ܀
13Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
14ܒܬܪܟܢ ܩܡ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܥܡ ܚܕܥܤܪ ܫܠܝܚܝܢ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܩܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܗܕܐ ܬܬܝܕܥ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܨܘܬܘ ܡܠܝ ܀
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.
15ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܪܘܝܢ ܕܗܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܬܠܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܫܥܝܢ ܀
15For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day .
16ܐܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܡܝܪܐ ܒܝܘܐܝܠ ܢܒܝܐ ܀
16But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17ܢܗܘܐ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܫܘܕ ܪܘܚܝ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܒܤܪ ܘܢܬܢܒܘܢ ܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܒܢܬܟܘܢ ܘܓܕܘܕܝܟܘܢ ܚܙܘܢܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܘܩܫܝܫܝܟܘܢ ܚܠܡܐ ܢܚܠܡܘܢ ܀
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.
18ܘܥܠ ܥܒܕܝ ܘܥܠ ܐܡܗܬܝ ܐܫܘܕ ܪܘܚܝ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܢܬܢܒܘܢ ܀
18Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19ܘܐܬܠ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܓܒܪܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܐ ܘܢܘܪܐ ܘܥܛܪܐ ܕܬܢܢܐ ܀
19I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
20ܫܡܫܐ ܢܬܚܠܦ ܒܥܡܛܢܐ ܘܤܗܪܐ ܒܕܡܐ ܥܕܠܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܕܚܝܠܐ ܀
20The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21ܘܢܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܚܐ ܀
21It will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22ܓܒܪܐ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܘܒܐܬܘܬܐ ܘܒܓܒܪܘܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܒܕ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀
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,
23ܠܗܢܐ ܕܦܪܝܫ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܗܕܐ ܒܡܩܕܡܘܬ ܝܕܥܬܗ ܘܒܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܫܠܡܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܘܙܩܦܬܘܢ ܘܩܛܠܬܘܢ ܀
23him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
24ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܩܝܡܗ ܘܫܪܐ ܚܒܠܝܗ ܕܫܝܘܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܢܬܬܚܕ ܒܗ ܒܫܝܘܠ ܀
24whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
25ܕܘܝܕ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܩܕܡ ܗܘܝܬ ܚܙܐ ܠܡܪܝ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܕܥܠ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܐܙܘܥ ܀
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.
26ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܒܤܡ ܠܒܝ ܘܪܘܙܬ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܝ ܘܐܦ ܦܓܪܝ ܢܓܢ ܥܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܀
26Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;
27ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܐܢܬ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܒܫܝܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܬ ܠܚܤܝܟ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܚܒܠܐ ܀
27because you will not leave my soul in Hades , neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
28ܓܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܬܡܠܝܢܝ ܒܤܝܡܘܬܐ ܥܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܟ ܀
28You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
29ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܝܢ ܡܦܤ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܪܝܫ ܐܒܗܬܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܕܡܝܬ ܘܐܦ ܐܬܩܒܪ ܘܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܗ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܠܘܬܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ ܀
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.
30ܢܒܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܘܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܘܡܬܐ ܝܡܐ ܠܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܟܪܤܟ ܐܘܬܒ ܥܠ ܟܘܪܤܝܟ ܀
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,
31ܘܩܕܡ ܚܙܐ ܘܡܠܠ ܥܠ ܩܝܡܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܬܒܩ ܒܫܝܘܠ ܐܦܠܐ ܦܓܪܗ ܚܙܐ ܚܒܠܐ ܀
31he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul left in Hades , nor did his flesh see decay.
32ܠܗܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܩܝܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܢܢ ܟܠܢ ܤܗܕܘܗܝ ܀
32This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
33ܘܗܘܝܘ ܕܒܝܡܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܬܪܝܡ ܘܢܤܒ ܡܢ ܐܒܐ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܕܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܐܫܕ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܗܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀
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.
34ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܤܠܩ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܪܝ ܬܒ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܀
34For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand,
35ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܤܝܡ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܟܘܒܫܐ ܠܪܓܠܝܟ ܀
35until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
36ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܕܥ ܟܠܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܒܕܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܙܩܦܬܘܢ ܀
36“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܓܢܚܘ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܫܪܟܐ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܐܚܝܢ ܀
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?”
38ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܬܘܒܘ ܘܥܡܕܘ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܫܘܒܩܢ ܚܛܗܐ ܕܬܩܒܠܘܢ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܀
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.
39ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܘܠܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܚܝܩܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܩܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܀
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.”
40ܘܒܡܠܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܡܤܗܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܚܝܘ ܡܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܥܩܡܬܐ ܀
40With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
41ܘܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܥܬܝܕܐܝܬ ܩܒܠܘ ܡܠܬܗ ܘܗܝܡܢܘ ܘܥܡܕܘ ܘܐܬܬܘܤܦܘ ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܠܬܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܢܦܫܢ ܀
41Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
42ܘܐܡܝܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܡܫܬܘܬܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܒܩܨܝܐ ܕܐܘܟܪܤܛܝܐ ܀
42They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
43ܘܗܘܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܠܟܠ ܢܦܫ ܘܐܬܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܓܒܪܘܬܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܝܕ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀
43Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܝܡܢܘ ܗܘܘ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܗܘܘ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܓܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܀
44All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
45ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܩܢܝܢܐ ܡܙܒܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܡܦܠܓܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܤܢܝܩ ܗܘܐ ܀
45They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
46ܘܟܠܝܘܡ ܐܡܝܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܒܚܕܐ ܢܦܫ ܘܒܒܝܬܐ ܩܨܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܦܪܝܤܬܐ ܘܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܟܕ ܪܘܙܝܢ ܘܒܒܪܝܪܘܬܐ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ ܀
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,
47ܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܟܕ ܝܗܝܒܝܢ ܒܪܚܡܐ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܡܪܢ ܡܘܤܦ ܗܘܐ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܐܝܢ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܀
47praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
