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

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.

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.

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

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

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

⁵ A go, Yahudanceyaŋ go no Urusalima ra, kaŋ yaŋ ga humburu Irikoy, kaŋ yaŋ fun ndunnya dumey kulu ra kaŋ go beena cire.

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

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

⁶ Waato kaŋ i maa yooja din, jama zuru ka margu care do. I boŋ haw, zama boro kulu goono ga maa i goono ga salaŋ ngey bumbey ciiney ra.

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

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

⁷ I jirsi ka to da dambara, ka ne: «Wa guna me, borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga salaŋ, manti Galili laabu boroyaŋ no?

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

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.

¹⁴ Amma Bitros da iway cindi fa din kaa ka kay. Bitros na nga jinde tunandi ka ne i se: «Ya Yahudance alborey, d'araŋ kulu kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro Urusalima, wa naŋ ay m'araŋ fahamandi da woone, araŋ ma hangan ka maa ay sanno se mo.

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

¹⁶But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁶ Amma woone ga ti wo kaŋ annabi* Yowel ci.

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

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.

¹⁷ A do Irikoy ne: ‹A ga ciya jirbey bananta ra, ay g'ay Biya zumandi Adam-izey kulu boŋ. Araŋ ize arey d'araŋ ize wayey ga annabitaray te, araŋ sahãkooney ga di bangayyaŋ, araŋ dottijey mo ga hindiriyaŋ te.

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:

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

¹⁸ Baa ay bannyey d'ay koŋŋey boŋ jirbey din ra, ay g'ay Biya zumandi, i ga annabitaray te mo.

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

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

¹⁹ Ay ga dambara hariyaŋ cabe beena ra, da alaamayaŋ mo ne ganda ndunnya ra: kuri, da danji, da dullu ciciriyaŋ.

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

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

²⁰ Wayna ga bare ka ciya kubay, hando mo ga bare ka ciya kuri, hala Rabbi zaaro ga kaa ka to, zaari bambata din kaŋ gonda darza.

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

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

²¹ A ga ciya mo, boro kulu kaŋ ga ce Rabbi maa gaa ga du faaba.›

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

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,

²² Ya Israyla alborey, araŋ ma maa sanney wo: Yesu, Nazara bora, Irikoy n'a seeda araŋ game ra, dabari goyey da dambara harey da alaamey do kaŋ yaŋ Irikoy goono ga te a do araŋ game ra, mate kaŋ araŋ bumbey ga bay.

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;

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

²³ Nga, Yesu, i n'a nooyandi Irikoy saawara kaŋ a waadu da hayey kaŋ a jin ka bay boŋ. Amma araŋ wo, araŋ n'a di k'a kanji _bundo gaa|_, k'a wi da boro laaloyaŋ kambey.

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

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

²⁴ Day Irikoy n'a tunandi, kaŋ a na buuyaŋ gurzuga feeri banda, za kaŋ a si du ka te buuyaŋ ma hin k'a gaay.

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

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.

²⁵ Zama Dawda n'a ciine te ka ne: ‹Ay go ga di Rabbi ay jine waati kulu. Za kaŋ a go ay kambe ŋwaaro gaa, ay si zinji.

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:

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

²⁶ Woodin sabbay se no ay bina ga farhã, ay deena mo ga kaan. Oho, ay gaahamo mo ga goro beeje ra.

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

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

²⁷ Zama ni s'ay fundo naŋ Alaahara, ni si naŋ ni wane Hanna ma fumbu.

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

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

²⁸ Ni naŋ ay ma fundi fondey bay, ni g'ay toonandi nda bine kaani ni goonoyaŋo ra.›

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

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.

²⁹ Ya nya-ize alborey, kal ay ma baabey kaayo Dawda sanni ci araŋ se taray kwaaray. A bu, i n'a fiji, a saara mo go iri do hala hõ.

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.

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,

³⁰ A binde, za kaŋ annabi no, a bay kaŋ Irikoy ze nga se da zeyaŋ ka ne Dawda banda gaa no Irikoy ga boro fo gorandi Dawda koytaray karga boŋ.

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;

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.

³¹ Kaŋ Dawda di haŋ kaŋ ga haw ka kaa, a salaŋ Almasihu* tunyaŋo boŋ ka ne Irikoy mana Yesu naŋ Alaahara, a gaahamo mo mana fumbu.

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

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

³² Yesu wo, Irikoy n'a tunandi. Iri kulu ya woodin seedayaŋ no.

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

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.

³³ Irikoy n'a beerandi nga kambe ŋwaaro gaa beene. A na alkawlo ta Baaba do kaŋ ga ti Biya Hanno. A n'a zumandi da mate kaŋ araŋ goono ga di, araŋ goono ga maa mo.

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.

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

³⁴ Zama Dawda mana ziji ka koy beena ra bo, amma nga bumbo ne: ‹Rabbi ne ay Koyo se: Ma goro ay kambe ŋwaaro gaa,

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

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

³⁵ hala ay ma ni ibarey te ni ce taamey se furkange.›

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

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

³⁶ Wa naŋ Israyla dumo kulu ma bay kaŋ daahir Yesu wo kaŋ araŋ kanji din, nga no Irikoy ciya Koy da Almasihu.»

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

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?”

³⁷ Waato kaŋ i maa sanno din, a n'i biney gooru. I ne Bitros da diya cindey se: «Nya-izey, ifo no iri ga te?»

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?

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.

³⁸ Bitros ne i se: «Wa tuubi. I ma te araŋ afo kulu se baptisma Yesu Almasihu maa ra araŋ zunubi yaafayaŋ sabbay se, araŋ ga du Biya Hanno nooyaŋ ra mo.

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.

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.”

³⁹ Zama alkawlo go araŋ, d'araŋ izey, da boro kulu kaŋ ga mooru se, hala ka koy i kulu me kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi iri Irikoyo ga ce nga do.»

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.

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

⁴⁰ Da sanni boobo yaŋ gaa a n'i seeda k'i yaamar mo ka ne: «Wa araŋ boŋ faaba zamana siiro wo gaa.»

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

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

⁴¹ Borey kaŋ yaŋ n'a sanno ta mo, i te i se baptisma. Zaaro din ra Irikoy na boro zambar hinza cine tonton i se.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁵ I goono ga ngey arzakey da ngey jiney neera ka fay-fay jama se, boro kulu laamo boŋ.

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

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,

⁴⁶ Zaari kulu mo i goono ga mo ye da bine folloŋ Irikoy* windo ra, ka buuru ceeri ngey fuwey ra, ka ngey ŋwaarey ŋwa care banda da farhã da bine folloŋ.

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. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
