1 Niwa ivi pentacos a ye, bana ki ni bubu riri wawumbawu.
Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 Mle, kikle gyungyu ri, rhi ni shulu, a lu fu grji ye ka ko wa bana ki nima'a.
Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 Elem to ilu kri ku gason nitu mba ni yiyri.
Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4 Ruhu Tsatsra a ri shu ku ni ko aha mba, e ba lu kri ku tre ni leme kankan, wa ruhu a tsro ba.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
5 Ni kima, Yahudawa bi hu nkon Irjhi, rhi ni gbu gbungblu kankan ni meme, bana he ni Urishilima.
Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
6 Niwa baa wo langyungyua, akpa ba rhikice u ba ye bubu riri ikpea a kpa ba tsi shishi, nitu ko nha asi wo ba ni lan tre gbumma
When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Kpe a k'ma nuba sisiri ni mre; i ba tre ndi, “E biyi wawumba, bi si trea, bana ndhi bi Galilee na?
They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans?
8 A ngye ti du ta niwo ba ni lan tre gbunbu, lan wa ba grjita niwa a?
How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
9 Parthians mba medes mba Elamites mba biwa ba ki ni mesopotamia, ni Judea mba Cappodia, wu Pontus mba Asia.
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
10 Phrygia mba Pamphylia, ni Egypt mba mbru bubu bi Libya hi ni Cyrene, mba Bitsri wa ba rhi ni Rome.
Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Yahudawa baba biwa ba kpa hu irjhi wu Yaudawa ba, Cretans baba larabawa, ki wo ba si tre ni lan mbu nitu kikle ndu Irjhi.
Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
12 A nuba rhimre ni sisiri i ba tre ni kpa mba ndi, “A hi ngye to yi?”
They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Bari banza ba nda tre ndi, “Basi huwa hi sa.”
Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
14 E bitrus a lu kri nimi wlon donri mba, nda nzu lan nda tre gbangban me niba ndi, ndhi lilon be gbu Judea, baba ndhi wawu'u biwa, bi ki ni Urishilima, sren to ni lan tre mu nidu yi mlaa toh.
But 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.
15 Ndhi biyi bana si hwu na wa bi ban na, zizan ni ton wu tra wu hwumble genri.
For these are not drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.
16 Kpe yi a tsra ni tre anabi Joel;
But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 Ani he vi bi kle kle, Irjhi a tre, “Mi vra ruhumu nitu rima ndhi wawu. Mri mbi lilon baba mrimba ba rira ikpi bi ye ni ko shishi mri nzembi ba to ko waayi e bi chiche mbi hra ra nitu ra.
‘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.
18 Jaji bi ndu mu, lilon baba mba, mi buwa ba ni ruhu mu u ba nra kpi biye ni ko shishi.
Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 Mi tsro kikle ndu mu ni shu shulu, mba ni alamu mu ni meme (gbugblu), iyi ilu mba ntse Ikpan irjhi ni k'ma ti bwu,
I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
20 Kpan iwha ni k'ma ti iyi, ri du kikle vi wu Baci ni ye, vi wa ko nha ni to nda rhimre nitu ma.
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 Ani to ki, ndhi wa a yo nde Bacia ani nawo
It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 Ndhi bi Israila, wo lan tre biyi, Yeshu wu Nazarat ana ndhi wa Irjhi a nzu hon ni shishi mbi, ni kikle ndu ni kpi bi du ndhi bwunyu yo hyo ni wuo Irjhi ati ni woma ni mimbi, me wa biyi me bito.
“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 among you, even as you yourselves know,
23 Ndi yi wa ba vuu nu tsra ni kpe wa Irjhi ana mla zi nda to; ni wo meme; ndhi wa bana zren ni tu nkon na ba wuu ni kpan u ni kunkro (kros).
him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
24 Ama Irjhi a nzu lu, nda chuchuwo ni ya wu qu, nitu iqu na he ni gbengble wu vu u nji na
whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
25 Ni kima Dawuda a tre ni tuma ndi “me to Baci chachu ni shishi mu; ngye a he ni kosan worhimu di du mina c'bi rhuna.
For 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.
26 Nitu ki, mi ngri ni suron mu e line mu a takpe. N'makpa mu ngame ni son ni yo suron.
Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
27 Wu na kamedon ni meme ko iu na ni na du Tsatra me du gla na. (Hadēs g86)
because you will not leave my soul in Hades (Hadēs g86), neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
28 Wu bwu nkon wu rai ni mu du mi mla to, wu du me ngri kpukpo me ni shishi me
You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
29 Mri vayi, ani bi numu dumi tre ni yi ni suron wu kpanyme, (hamma ni sisiri), nitu chiche baci. Dawuda, ndi a qu e ba rhuwu, e ibe ma he ni ta ya ni vi wu luwa.
“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.
30 Nitu kima ana anabi wa a toh ndi Irjhi a shirhi ni ban niwu ndi eh'pu wu nchinema ni hon son nitu tuchuma.
Therefore, 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,
31 A to kpe wa ani ye he ni shishia ndda tre ni tu lu tashme Kristi, ndi bana kawdon ni ko qu na; e n'mama na gla na. (Hadēs g86)
he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades (Hadēs g86), and his flesh did not see decay.
32 Yesu yiwa Irjhi a nzu lunde, e kita wawumbu, ki bla ikpe wa kito di wo nitu ma'a.
This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
33 Nitu ki, niwa ba nzu hon hi wo ko rhi wu Irjhi, nda kpa Ruhu Tsatsra wa titi baci a shirhi niwu, a vu vra grhi, ikpi wa bisi to nini wo'a.
Being 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.
34 Dawuda ana hon hi ni shuluna, ama nda tre ndi “Baci a lha ni Bacimu,” ku son ni wo rhimu.
For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand
35 Di gben dumi k'ma bi kamba (yo shishi) niwu ti ruron wu sa za me.”
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
36 Niki ma, du ko Israila wawu mla toh ndi janji, Irjhi du he Baci mba Kristi, Yesu yi wa bi Kpanwu nitu kros'a.
“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 Niwa ba wo tre yi a yra ba suron, e ba lha ni Bitrus baba mbru manzani ba, ndi “Mri vayi, ki ti nihe?”
Now 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?”
38 Bitrus lha bawu di k'ma gon nu latre, ni kpa baptisma, ko nha bi ni nde Yesu kristi, ni wru latre bi ni Irjhi hlega, ndi kpa Ruhu Tsatsra wa ani nu hamma ni du ui han kpe.
Peter 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.
39 Shirhi'a ahi wumbi, baba mrimbi, niwa ba he gbagban me ngame; wawundhi wa Baci Irjhi mbu ni yo ba'a”
For 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.”
40 Ni lan tre gbugbuwu, a tre ni tu kima'a nda nrooba ndi.” Nhawo rhu ni k'ba bi kawatre yi.
With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
41 Mle ba kpa tre ma e ba ti baptisma ni bawu, ndhi dubu tra ka ru nha ni ba.
Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
42 Ba ye suron mba ni bubu riri ni kpa Isro manzani mba zumunta, nda ni ga bredi wu jibi, mba bre Irjhi.
They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
43 Sisiri a vu ko nha e anabawa'a ba ti ndu gbugbu baba ekpi bi tsro (sisir) ya.
Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Biwa ba kpanyme ba ki ni bubu rii nda ti ko ngye to u ndi riri, hamma ni chuti nkan,
All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
45 Ba vu ba kpimba le nda ga ni ko nba nmba tsra ni kpe wa ko nha ni son.
They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
46 Nivi hi nivi, ba yo tu mba ni suron riri ni ko Irjhi,
Day 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,
47 Ba ga bredi niko rikomba, nda ga birhi ni nroo kpamba hamma ni nzutu, ndani gbre nde Irjhi ndi ba ba kpanyme ni ba e chachu, Baci a si gbron ndhi wa basi nhawo ni ye niba nda du gbrumba a si hon
praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
