< Acts 2 >

1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Mgbe ụbọchị Pentikọọsụ ruru, ha niile zukọtara nʼotu ebe.
2 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.
Na mberede, ụzụ yiri nke oke ifufe dị ike sitere nʼeluigwe bịa jupụta nʼụlọ ahụ ha nọ.
3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
Ha hụrụ ihe dịka ire ọkụ ka o kewara nọkwasị nʼisi ha nʼotu nʼotu.
4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
Ha niile jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ, malite ịsụ asụsụ dị iche iche dịka Mmụọ Nsọ nyere ha ike.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
Nʼoge ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị Juu ji obi ọcha na-efe Chineke nọ na Jerusalem. Ndị si na mba dị iche iche nʼokpuru eluigwe.
6 When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
Igwe mmadụ gbakọtara nʼọnọdụ mgbagwoju anya mgbe ha nụrụ ụzụ ahụ, nʼihi na ha nụrụ ka ha na-asụ asụsụ nke onye ọbụla nʼime ha na-aghọta, nʼasụsụ obodo ha dị iche iche.
7 They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans?
Nʼoke iju anya, ha kwurịtara nʼonwe ha, “Ndị a niile na-ekwu okwu ha abụghị ndị Galili?
8 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
Gịnị mere onye ọbụla nʼime anyị ji na-anụ okwu ha na-ekwu nʼasụsụ ala anyị dị iche iche?
9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
Ndị Patia, na ndị Midia, na ndị Elam, ndị bikwa nʼime Mesopotamịa, ndị Judịa, na ndị Kapadosia, ndị Pọntọs, na ndị Eshịa,
10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
ndị Frigia, na ndị Pamfilia, na ndị Ijipt, na ndị akụkụ Libiya nke dị Sirini nso, na ndị ọbịa si na Rom bịa
11 Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
(ndị Juu na ndị kwere nʼokpukpe ndị Juu). Ndị Kriit na ndị Arab; anyị na-anụ okwu ha na-ekwu nʼasụsụ anyị dị iche iche banyere ọrụ ebube Chineke.”
12 They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
O juru ha anya, gbaakwa ha gharịị. Ha sịrịtara onwe ha, “Gịnị ka nke a bụ?”
13 Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
Ma ụfọdụ ndị ọzọ na-akwa ha emo na-asị, “Ndị a bụ ndị mmanya na-egbu.”
14 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.
Pita guzoro, ya na ndị ozi iri na otu ahụ welie olu gwa ọgbakọ ahụ okwu, “Ndị Juu na unu ndị bi na Jerusalem, matanụ nke a, geekwanụ ntị na ihe m na-ekwu.
15 For these are not drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.
Ọ bụghị mmanya na-egbu ndị a dị ka unu chere. Lee, ọ bụ naanị elekere itoolu nke ụtụtụ na-akụ.
16 But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
Mba, nke a bụ mmezu ihe Juel onye amụma kwuru,
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.
“‘Chineke sịrị, nʼoge ikpeazụ, aga m awụkwasị mmadụ niile Mmụọ m. Ụmụ unu ndị ikom na ụmụ unu ndị inyom ga-ebu amụma, ụmụ okorobịa unu ga-ahụkwa ọhụ, ndị okenye nwoke unu ga-arọ nrọ.
18 Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
Ọ bụladị ndị ohu m, nwoke ha na nwanyị nʼime ha, ka m ga-awụkwasị Mmụọ m. Ha ga-ebukwa amụma.
19 I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
Aga m egosi ihe ịtụnanya na mbara eluigwe, gosikwa ihe ịrịbama nʼụwa na nʼokpuru ụwa, ọbara na ọkụ na alulu anwụrụ ọkụ.
20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
Anyanwụ ga-agbanwe ghọọ ọchịchịrị, ọnwa ga-aghọkwa ọbara, tupu ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị abịa, bụ ụbọchị ahụ dị ukwu dịkwa ebube.
21 It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
Ọ ga-erukwa, na onye ọbụla nke na-akpọku aha Onyenwe anyị, ka a ga-azọpụta.’
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 among you, even as you yourselves know,
“Ndị Izrel, geenụ ntị nʼokwu a, Jisọs onye Nazaret bụ nwoke Chineke gosiri unu, site nʼọrụ dị ike, nʼọrụ ebube nakwa ihe ịrịbama niile nke Chineke rụrụ nʼetiti unu site nʼaka ya, dịka unu ji anya unu hụ.
23 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
Onye a ka e weere nyefee unu nʼaka site na nzube nke Chineke buru ụzọ tụọ atụmatụ ya, na dịka o siri mara na mbụ, ọ bụ ya ka unu gburu ma kpọgidekwa nʼobe site nʼaka ndị na-amaghị iwu.
24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
Ma Chineke emela ka o site nʼọnwụ bilie mgbe ọ tọpụchara ihe mgbu nke ọnwụ, nʼihi na ọnwụ enweghị ike ijide ya.
25 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.
Devid kwuru banyere ya, “‘Ana m ahụ Onyenwe anyị ka ọ na-anọgide nʼihu m mgbe niile. Nʼihi na ọ nọ nʼaka nri m. Agaghị m ama jijiji.
26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
Ya mere, ọṅụ jupụtara m obi, ire m na-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ; anụ ahụ m ga-ezukwa ike nʼolileanya,
27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades (Hadēs g86), neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
nʼihi na ị gaghị ahapụ mkpụrụobi m nʼala mmụọ, ị gakwaghị ahapụ anụ ahụ nke Onye gị dị nsọ ka ọ hụ ire ure. (Hadēs g86)
28 You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
I mere ka m mara ụzọ nke ndụ; ị ga-emekwa ka m jupụta nʼọṅụ nʼihu gị.’
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.
“Ụmụnna m, eji m nkwuwa okwu na-agwa unu banyere nna nna anyị Devid, bụ onye nwụrụ anwụ e lie ya. Ili ya dịkwa nʼetiti anyị taa.
30 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,
Ma ọ bụ onye amụma marakwa na Chineke jiri ịṅụ iyi kwee ya nkwa na otu nʼime ụmụ ya ga-anọkwasị nʼocheeze ya.
31 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.
Ebe o buuru ụzọ hụ ihe ga-eme nʼoge dị nʼihu, o kwuru banyere mbilite nʼọnwụ nke Kraịst, mgbe ọ sịrị, a hapụghị ya nʼala mmụọ; anụ ahụ ya ahụghịkwa ire ure. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
Ọ bụ Jisọs a ka Chineke mere ka ọ dị ndụ ọzọ. Anyị niile bụkwa ndị akaebe banyere ya.
33 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.
Ebe ọ bụ na e buliela ya elu nʼaka nri Chineke. Ọ natala Mmụọ Nsọ dịka Nna ya kwere na nkwa. Ihe a unu na-ahụ na nke unu na-anụ bụ onyinye ya ọ wụkwasịrị anyị.
34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand
Ọ dịghị oge Devid jiri rigoro nʼeluigwe, ma ya onwe ya sịrị, “‘Onyenwe anyị gwara Onyenwe m sị, “Nọdụ ala nʼaka nri m,
35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
ruo mgbe m ga-eme ndị iro gị ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ nye ụkwụ gị.”’
36 “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
“Ya mere, ana m eme ka ezinaụlọ Izrel niile mara nke ọma, na Chineke emeela Jisọs a onye unu kpọgidere nʼobe ka ọ bụrụ Onyenwe anyị na Kraịst.”
37 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?”
Mgbe ha nụrụ ihe ndị a, akọnuche ha mara ha ikpe. Ha sịrị Pita na ndị ozi ndị ọzọ, “Ụmụnna, gịnị ka anyị ga-eme?”
38 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.
Ma Pita sịrị ha, “Chegharịanụ unu niile. Ka e mekwa unu baptizim nʼaha Jisọs Kraịst, maka mgbaghara mmehie unu. Unu ga-anatakwa onyinye nke Mmụọ Nsọ.
39 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.”
Nkwa a dịrị unu na ụmụ ụmụ unu na mmadụ niile nọ nʼebe dị anya, dịkwara ndị niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke ga-akpọ ka ha bịakwute ya.”
40 With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
O jiri ọtụtụ okwu ndị ọzọ gbaa ama, ma dụọkwa ha ọdụ sị, “Sitenụ nʼetiti ọgbọ a jọrọ njọ zọpụta onwe unu.”
41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
E mere ndị nabatara okwu ya baptizim, ha dị ihe ruru puku mmadụ atọ, a gụnyere nʼọnụọgụgụ ha.
42 They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
Ha nyefere onwe ha nʼozizi nke ndị ozi, ya na ife ofufe na ịnyawa achịcha nakwa ikpe ekpere.
43 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
Onye ọbụla nʼime ha jupụtara na egwu, nʼihi na ndị ozi na-arụ ọtụtụ ọrụ ebube, na ihe ịrịbama dị iche iche.
44 All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
Ndị niile kwere ekwe nọkọtara ọnụ, nwekọkwaa ihe niile ọnụ.
45 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
Ha rere ihe ha nwere na nke ha kpatara, kenye onye ọbụla dịka mkpa ya siri dị.
46 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,
Ha gara nʼihu na-ezukọta nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ikpe ekpere kwa ụbọchị. Ha na-erikọkwa nri nʼụlọ ha, nʼobi ọṅụ na ekele.
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
Dịka ha gara nʼihu na-eto Chineke, ha nwetara ihuọma nʼaka ndị mmadụ. Onyenwe anyị na-atụkwasịkwara ha ndị a na-azọpụta kwa ụbọchị.
