Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Yeroo guyyaan Pheenxeqoosxee gaʼetti, hundi isaanii iddoo tokkotti walitti qabamanii turan.
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
Akkuma tasaas sagaleen akka bubbee jabaa bubbisu tokko samii irraa dhufee mana isaan keessa tataaʼaa turan sana hunda guute.
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
Isaanis waan akka arraba ibiddaa tokko isaa gargar qoodamee dhufee tokkoo tokkoo isaanii irra bubbuʼu argan.
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
Hundi isaaniis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutamanii akkuma hafuurri sun isaan dandeessisetti afaan gara biraatiin dubbachuu jalqaban.
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
Yeroo sana Yihuudoonni Waaqa sodaatan saboota samii jala jiran hunda keessaa dhufanii Yerusaalem keessa jiraachaa turan.
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
Yeroo sagaleen sun dhagaʼamettis namoonni hedduun waan jedhan dhabanii walitti qabaman; warri Hafuuraan guutaman sun afaan tokkoo tokkoo namoota sanaatiin dubbachaa turaniitii.
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
Isaanis akka malee dinqifatanii akkana jedhan; “Namoonni dudubbatan kunneen hundi warra Galiilaati mitii?
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
Yoos akkamiin tokkoon tokkoon keenya isaanii afaanuma keenya kan nu itti dhalanne dubbatan dhageenya ree?
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
Nu warri Phartee, warri Meedii fi warri Elaam, jiraattonni Mesophotaamiyaa, warri Yihuudaa fi Qaphadooqiyaa akkasumas jiraattonni Phonxoosii fi Asiyaa,
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
Firiigiyaa fi Phamfiliyaa, Gibxii fi kutaawwan biyya Liibiyaa kanneen naannoo Qareenaatti argaman, nu warri Roomaadhaa dhufne,
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
nu Yihuudoonnii fi warri amantii Yihuudootaa fudhanne lamaan, namoonni Qareexii fi Araboonni kunoo yommuu namoonni kunneen afaanuma keenyaan dinqii Waaqaa dubbatan dhageenya!”
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
Hundi isaaniis dinqifatanii, waan jedhanis wallaalanii, “Kun maal jechuu dha?” jedhanii wal gaafatan.
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
Namoonni tokko tokko garuu, “Isaan daadhii wayinii baayʼee dhuganiiru” jedhanii isaanitti qoosan.
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
Phexrosis ergamoota Kudha Tokkoo sana wajjin kaʼee dhaabate; sagalee isaas ol fudhatee tuuta sanaan akkana jedhe; “Isin yaa namoota Yihuudaatii fi warri Yerusaalem keessa jiraattan hundi, mee waan kana beekaa; waan ani isinitti himu kana hubadhaa dhagaʼaa.
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
Yeroon kun waan guyyaa keessaa saʼaatii sadaffaa taʼeef namoonni kunneen akka isin yaaddan sana hin machoofne!
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Kun garuu waan Yooʼeel raajichi dubbatee dha; innis akkana jedha:
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
“‘Bara dhumaa keessa, jedha Waaqayyo, ani Hafuura koo nama hunda irratti nan dhangalaasa; ilmaanii fi intallan keessan raajii dubbatu; dargaggoonni keessan mulʼata argu; jaarsoliin keessan abjuu abjootu.
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
Bara sana keessa garboota koo warra dhiiraa fi dubartii irratti illee, Hafuura koo nan dhangalaasa; isaanis raajii ni dubbatu.
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
Ani ol samii irratti dinqii, gad lafa irrattis mallattoo, dhiiga, ibiddaa fi hurrii aaraa nan argisiisa.
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
Utuu guyyaan Gooftaa inni guddichii fi ulfina qabeessi sun hin dhufin dura, aduun dukkanatti geeddaramti; jiʼi immoo dhiigatti geeddarama.
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
Namni maqaa Gooftaa waammatu, hundinuu ni fayya.’
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
“Yaa namoota Israaʼel, dubbii kana dhagaʼaa; akkuma isinuu beektan, Yesuus namni Naazreeti nama Waaqni dinqii, raajii fi mallattoo karaa isaatiin isin gidduutti hojjeteen isinii mirkaneessee dha.
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
Namicha kana Waaqatu akkuma dur murteessee fi akkuma duraan dursee beeku sanatti dabarsee isinitti kenne. Isinis namoota hamoo wajjin tokko taatanii fanniftanii isa ajjeeftan.
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
Waaqni garuu dhiphina keessaa isa baasee, warra duʼan keessaa isa kaase; duuti isa irratti aangoo qabaachuu hin dandeenyeetii.
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
Daawitis akkana jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbate: “‘Ani yeroo hunda Gooftaa of duratti nan argan ture. Waan inni mirga koo jiruuf, ani hin raafamu.
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
Kanaaf garaan koo ni gammada; arrabni koos ni ililcha; foon koos abdiidhaan jiraata.
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
Ati siiʼool keessatti na hin dhiiftuutii; qulqullichi kee akka tortoru hin gootu. (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
Karaa jireenyaa na barsiifteerta; fuula kee durattis gammachuudhaan na guutta.’
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
“Yaa obboloota, akka Daawit hangafni abbootii durii sun duʼee awwaalame, awwaalli isaas hamma harʼaatti asuma akka jiru ani ija jabaadhee isinitti himuu nan dandaʼa.
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
Innis waan raajii tureef akka Waaqni sanyii isaa keessaa nama tokko teessoo isaa irra teessisuuf akka kakatee waadaa galeefii ture beeke.
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
Innis waaʼee duʼaa kaʼuu Kiristoos, lubbuun isaa siiʼool keessatti akka hin hafin, yookaan foon isaas akka hin tortorin duraan dursee argee dubbate. (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
Yesuusuma kana Waaqni duʼaa kaaseera; nu hundinuu dhuga baatota waan kanaa ti.
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
Kanaaf inni gara mirga Waaqaatti ol ol jedhee, abdii Hafuura Qulqulluu Abbaa biraa fuudhee waan isin amma argitanii fi dhageessan kana dhangalaase.
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
Daawit gara samiitti ol hin baaneetii; inni mataan isaa garuu akkana jedha: “‘Gooftaan Gooftaa kootiin akkana jedhe; “Gara mirga koo taaʼi;
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
hamma ani diinota kee ejjeta miilla keetii siif godhutti.”’
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
“Kanaafuu Yesuusuma isin fanniftan kana akka Waaqni Gooftaa fi Kiristoos isa godhe manni Israaʼel hundi dhugumaan haa beeku.”
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
Namoonni sunis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti, garaan isaanii raafamee Phexrosii fi ergamoota kaaniin, “Yaa obboloota, yoos maal haa goonu?” jedhan.
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
Phexrosis akkana jedhee deebise; “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan qalbii jijjiirradhaa; dhiifama cubbuu keessaniitiifis maqaa Yesuus Kiristoosiitiin cuuphamaa; kennaa Hafuura Qulqulluus ni argattu.
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
Abdiin kunis isinii fi ijoollee keessaniif, akkasumas warra Waaqni Gooftaan keenya ofitti waamu kanneen fagoo jiran hundaaf kenname.”
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
Innis dubbii biraa baayʼeedhaan dhugaa baʼee, “Dhaloota jalʼaa kana duraa of oolchaa” jedhee isaan gorse.
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
Warri dubbii isaa fudhatanis ni cuuphaman; gaafas nama gara kuma sadiitu isaanitti dabalame.
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
Isaanis barsiisa ergamootaatti, jireenya tokkummaatti, buddeena caccabsuutti, Waaqa kadhachuuttis ni jabaatan.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Namni hundinuus sodaan guutame; dinqii fi mallattoon baayʼeen ergamootaan hojjetame.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
Amantoonni hundinuus wajjin turan; waan hundas walumaan qabu turan.
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
Qabeenya isaaniitii fi miʼa isaaniis gurguranii nama rakkina qabu kamiif iyyuu qoodaa turan.
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
Isaanis guyyuma guyyaan mana qulqullummaatti wal gaʼaa turan; mana tokkoo tokkoo isaaniittis buddeena kukkutanii, gammachuu fi garaa qulqulluudhaan wajjin nyaachaa turan.
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
Waaqas galateeffachaa turan. Namoota hunda durattis ulfina qabu turan. Gooftaanis guyyuma guyyaan warra fayyan waldaa isaaniitti dabalaa ture.
