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

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

Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”

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 Na ngaihoih uh bangla he rhoek tah a rhui uh moenih. Khothaih khonoek pataeng pathum ni a. lostrong="G2076" pueng.
For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.

But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 “Khohnin hnukkhueng dongla a om vaengah, Pathen loh, 'Pumsa boeih te ka Mueihla ka lun thil vetih, na canu na capa rhoek loh ol a phong uh ni. Na cadong rhoek loh mikhlam a hmuh uh ni. Nangmih kah patong rhoek loh mang a man uh ni.
‘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 Tekah khohnin ah Ka sal rhoek so neh ka salnu rhoek soah khaw ka Mueihla ka lun vetih ol a phong uh ni.
Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 Vaan so ah khobae rhambae, diklai hmui ah miknoek te thii, hmai, tuihu hmaikhu neh ka paek ni.
I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
20 Boeipa kah a len neh mingom khohnin ha pawk tomah tah khomik loh yinnah la, hla khaw thii la poeh ni.
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

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 Anih te David long khaw a thui tih, “Boeipa te ka hmaiah vawp vawp ka hmaitang yoeyah tih ka bantang ah a om dongah ka hinghoek mahpawh.
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 Te dongah ka thinko loh a uum tih ka ol loh hlampan. Ka pum long khaw ngaiuepnah dongah kho a sak bal pueng ni.
Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
27 Ka hinglu he saelkhui ah na phap sut pawt tih na hlangcim te pocinah tong sak ham na paek moenih. (Hadēs g86)
because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Hingnah longpuei te kai nan tueng tih, na mikhmuh ah omngaihnah neh kai nan baetawt sak.
You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

“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.

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,

he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay. (Hadēs g86)

This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
33 Te vaengah Pathen kah bantang ah a pomsang. Mueihla Cim kah olkhueh, na hmuh uh tih na yaak uh te pa taeng lamloh han lun tih, na dang uh.
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 Te dongah David loh vaan la cet hlan dae anih te a voek vaengah,
For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand

“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 A yaak uh vaengah thinko a thun pah tih Peter neh a tloe caeltueih rhoek taengah, “Ka manuca rhoek, ka hlang rhoek, balae ka saii uh eh,” a ti uh.
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 Tedae Peter loh amih taengah, “Yut uh lamtah na tholh khodawkngainah ham nangmih khat rhip loh Jesuh Khrih ming dongah nuem uh lah. Te daengah ni Cim Mueihla kah kutdoe te na dang uh eh.
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 Mamih kah Boeipa Pathen loh a khue boeiloeih atah na ca rhoek ham khaw, khohla kah rhoek boeih ham khaw nangmih taengah olkhueh om coeng,”a ti nah.
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 Ol tloe nen khaw muep a uen tih amih a hloep vaengah, “Vilvak cadil khui lamkah he daem uh laeh,” a ti nah.
With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
42 A om uh vaengah caeltueih rhoek kah thuituennah neh rhoinaengnah, vaidam aehnah neh thangthuinah te a khuituk uh.
They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
43 Rhihnah loh hinglu boeih taengah cuen tih caeltueih loh khobae rhambae neh miknoek khaw muep a saii uh.
Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek boeih loh thikat la om uh tih tun boeih cut uh thae.
All who believed were together, and had all things in common.

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

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 Pathen a thangthen uh long te pilnam boeih taengah lungvatnah a dang uh bal. Khang la aka om rhoek te khaw a taengla hnin takuem Boeipa loh a thap.
praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
