Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
| هنگامی که روز پِنتیکاست فرا رسید، همه با هم در یک جا جمع بودند. |
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.
| ناگهان صدایی شبیه صدای وزش باد شدید از آسمان آمد و خانه‌ای را که در آن جمع بودند، پر کرد. |
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.
| سپس چیزی شبیه زبانه‌های آتش ظاهر شده، تقسیم شد و بر سر هر یک از ایشان قرار گرفت. |
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].
| آنگاه همه از روح‌القدس پر شدند و برای اولین بار شروع به سخن گفتن به زبانهایی کردند که با آنها آشنایی نداشتند، زیرا روح خدا این قدرت را به ایشان بخشیده بود. |
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.
| آن روزها، یهودیان دیندار برای مراسم عید از تمام سرزمینها به اورشلیم آمده بودند. |
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.
| پس وقتی صدا از آن خانه به گوش رسید، گروهی با سرعت آمدند تا ببینند چه شده است. وقتی شنیدند شاگردان عیسی به زبان ایشان سخن می‌گویند، مات و مبهوت ماندند! |
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].
| آنان با تعجب به یکدیگر می‌گفتند: «این چگونه ممکن است؟ با اینکه این اشخاص از اهالی جلیل هستند، |
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]
| ولی به زبانهای محلی ما سخن می‌گویند، به زبان همان سرزمینهایی که ما در آنجا به دنیا آمده‌ایم! |
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.
| ما که از پارت‌ها، مادها، ایلامی‌ها، اهالی بین‌النهرین، یهودیه، کپدوکیه، پونتوس، آسیا، |
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.
| فریجیه و پمفلیه، مصر، قسمت قیروانی زبان لیبی، |
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?”
| کریت و عربستان هستیم، و حتی کسانی که از روم آمده‌اند هم یهودی و هم آنانی که یهودی شده‌اند، همگی می‌شنویم که این اشخاص به زبان خود ما از اعمال عجیب خدا سخن می‌گویند!» |
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?”
| همه در حالی که مبهوت بودند، از یکدیگر می‌پرسیدند: «این چه واقعه‌ای است؟» |
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!”
| بعضی نیز مسخره کرده، می‌گفتند: «اینها مست هستند!» |
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!
| آنگاه پطرس با یازده رسول دیگر از جا برخاست و با صدای بلند به ایشان گفت: «ای اهالی اورشلیم، ای زائرینی که در این شهر به سر می‌برید، گوش کنید! |
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!
| اینها برخلاف آنچه شما فکر می‌کنید مست نیستند. چون اکنون ساعت نه صبح است و هنگام شرابخواری و مستی نیست! |
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
| آنچه امروز صبح شاهد آن هستید، یوئیل نبی چنین پیشگویی کرده بود: |
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].
| «”خدا می‌فرماید: در روزهای آخر، روح خود را بر همۀ مردم خواهم ریخت. پسران و دختران شما نبوّت خواهند کرد، جوانان شما رؤیاها و پیران شما خوابها خواهند دید. |
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.
| در آن روزها روح خود را حتی بر غلامان و کنیزانم خواهم ریخت و ایشان نبوّت خواهند کرد. |
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].
| بالا، در آسمان، عجایب، و پایین، بر زمین، آیات به ظهور خواهم آورد، از خون و آتش و بخار. |
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].
| پیش از فرا رسیدن روز بزرگ و پرشکوه خداوند، آفتاب تاریک و ماه مانند خون سرخ خواهد شد |
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].}’”
| اما هر که نام خداوند را بخواند نجات خواهد یافت.“ |
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].
| «حال، ای مردان اسرائیلی به من گوش دهید! همان‌طور که خود نیز می‌دانید، خدا به‌وسیلۀ عیسای ناصری معجزات عجیب ظاهر کرد تا به همه ثابت کند که عیسی از جانب او آمده است. |
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.
| از سوی دیگر، خدا مطابق اراده و نقشه‌ای که از پیش تعیین فرموده بود، به شما اجازه داد تا به دست اجنبی‌های بی‌دین، عیسی را بر صلیب کشیده، بکُشید. |
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.”
| ولی خدا او را دوباره زنده ساخت و از قدرت مرگ رهانید، زیرا مرگ نمی‌توانست چنین کسی را در چنگ خود اسیر نگه دارد. |
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].
| «زیرا داوود نبی می‌فرماید:”خداوند را همیشه پیش روی خود دیده‌ام. او در کنار من است و هیچ چیز نمی‌تواند مرا بلرزاند. |
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]).
| پس دلم شاد است و زبانم در وجد؛ بدنم نیز در امید ساکن است. |
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)
| زیرا تو جان مرا در چنگال مرگ رها نخواهی کرد و نخواهی گذاشت قُدّوسِ تو در قبر بپوسد. (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].”
| تو راه حیات را به من نشان خواهی داد. حضور تو مرا از شادی لبریز می‌کند.“ |
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.
| «برادران عزیز، کمی فکر کنید! این سخنان را جدّ ما داوود دربارهٔ خودش نگفت زیرا او مرد، دفن شد و قبرش نیز هنوز همین‌جا در میان ماست. |
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].)
| ولی چون نبی بود، می‌دانست خدا قول داده و قسم خورده است که از نسل او، مسیح را بر تخت سلطنت او بنشاند. |
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)
| داوود به آیندهٔ دور نگاه می‌کرد و زنده شدن مسیح را می‌دید و می‌گفت که خدا جان او را در چنگال مرگ رها نخواهد کرد و نخواهد گذاشت بدنش در قبر بپوسد. (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.
| داوود در واقع دربارهٔ عیسی پیشگویی می‌کرد و همهٔ ما با چشمان خود دیدیم که خدا عیسی را زنده ساخت. |
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.
| «او اکنون در آسمان، بر عالی‌ترین جایگاه افتخار در کنار خدا نشسته است و روح‌القدس موعود را از پدر دریافت کرده و او را به پیروان خود عطا فرموده است، که امروز شما نتیجه‌اش را می‌بینید و می‌شنوید. |
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,
| «زیرا داوود خودش هرگز به آسمان بالا نرفت. با این حال، گفت:”خداوند به خداوند من گفت: به دست راست من بنشین |
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
| تا دشمنانت را به زیر پایت بیفکنم.“ |
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.”
| «از این جهت، من امروز به وضوح و روشنی به همهٔ شما هموطنان اسرائیلی‌ام می‌گویم که خدا همین عیسی را که شما بر روی صلیب کشتید، به‌عنوان خداوند و مسیح تعیین فرموده است!» |
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]?”
| سخنان پطرس مردم را سخت تحت تأثیر قرار داد. بنابراین، به او و به سایر رسولان گفتند: «برادران، اکنون باید چه کنیم؟» |
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.
| پطرس جواب داد: «هر یک از شما باید از گناهانتان دست کشیده، به سوی خدا بازگردید و به نام عیسی مسیح تعمید بگیرید تا خدا گناهانتان را ببخشد. آنگاه خدا به شما نیز این هدیه، یعنی روح‌القدس را عطا خواهد فرمود. |
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]!”
| زیرا مسیح به شما که از سوی خداوند، خدای ما دعوت شده‌اید، و نیز به فرزندان شما و همچنین به کسانی که در سرزمینهای دور هستند، وعده داده که روح‌القدس را عطا فرماید.» |
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]!”
| سپس پطرس به تفصیل دربارهٔ عیسی سخن گفت و تمام شنوندگان را تشویق نمود که خود را از گناهان مردم شرور آن زمانه آزاد سازند. |
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.
| از کسانی که پیام او را پذیرفتند، تقریباً سه هزار نفر تعمید گرفتند و به جمع ایشان پیوستند. |
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].
| ایشان خود را وقف تعالیمی ساختند که رسولان می‌دادند، و با سایر ایمانداران رفاقت و مشارکت می‌کردند، و با هم خوراک خورده، رسم شام خداوند را برگزار می‌کردند، و مرتب با یکدیگر به دعا می‌پرداختند. |
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
| در ضمن، در اثر معجزات زیادی که توسط رسولان به عمل می‌آمد، در دل همه ترسی توأم با احترام نسبت به خدا ایجاد شده بود. |
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.
| به این ترتیب، تمام ایمانداران با هم بودند و هر چه را که داشتند، با هم قسمت می‌کردند. |
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.
| ایشان دارایی خود را نیز می‌فروختند و بین فقرا تقسیم می‌نمودند؛ |
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.
| و هر روز مرتب در معبد با هم عبادت می‌کردند، در خانه‌ها برای شام خداوند جمع می‌شدند، و با خوشحالی و شکرگزاری هر چه داشتند با هم می‌خوردند، |
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].
| و خدا را سپاس می‌گفتند. اهالی شهر نیز به ایشان احترام می‌گذاشتند و خدا هر روز عده‌ای را نجات می‌بخشید و به جمع ایشان می‌افزود. |
