< Acts 2 >
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Nang sumapit ang araw ng Pentecostes, lahat sila ay sama-sama sa iisang lugar.
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.
Bigla na lamang may tunog mula sa langit na tila humahagibis na hangin, at napuno nito ang buong bahay kung saan sila nakaupo.
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.
Doon ay nagpakita sa kanila ang tulad ng dilang apoy na napamahagi at dumapo sa bawat isa sa kanila.
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].
Napuspos silang lahat ng Banal na Espiritu at nagsimula silang magsalita sa iba't ibang wika ayon sa ipinagkaloob ng Espiritu sa kanila na sabihin.
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.
Ngayon may mga Judiong naninirahan sa Jerusalem, mga maka-diyos na tao, galing sa bawat bansa sa ilalim ng langit.
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.
Nang marinig ang tunog na ito, nagpuntahan ang maraming tao at nalito sapagkat narinig nang lahat na nagsasalita sila sa kanilang sariling wika.
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].
Nagtaka sila at labis na namangha; sinabi nila, “Totoo ba, hindi ba at ang lahat ng mga nagsasalitang ito ay mga taga-Galilea?
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]
Bakit kaya naririnig natin sila, bawat isa sa ating sariling wika na ating kinalakihan?
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.
Mga taga- Partia, taga-Media at mga taga- Elam, at sa mga naninirahan sa Mesopotamia, sa Judea at Capadocia, sa Ponto at sa Asya,
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.
sa Frigia at Panfilia, sa Egipto at sa bahagi ng Libya na malapit sa Cirene at mga panauhin mula sa Roma,
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?”
Mga Judio at mga taong nagbago ng paniniwala, at mga taga-Creta at mga taga- Arabia, naririnig namin sila na nagsasabi ayon sa ating mga wika tungkol sa mga kamangha- manghang gawa ng Diyos.”
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?”
Nagtaka silang lahat at naguluhan; at sinabi nila sa isa't- isa, “Ano ang ibig sabihin nito?”
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!”
Ngunit nangutya ang iba at sinabi, “Lasing na lasing sila ng bagong alak.”
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!
Ngunit tumayo si Pedro kasama ang labing isa, tinaasan niya ang kaniyang boses, at sinabi sa kanila, “Mga tao ng Judea at kayong lahat na naninirahan sa Jerusalem, dapat ninyo itong malaman; pakinggan ninyong mabuti ang aking sasabihin.
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!
Sapagkat ang mga taong ito ay hindi lasing gaya ng inyong inaakala, sapagkat pangatlong oras pa lamang nang araw.
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Ngunit ito ang sinabi sa pamamamagitan ni propeta Joel:
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].
'Mangyayari ito sa mga huling araw,' sinabi ng Diyos, 'Ibubuhos ko ang aking Espiritu sa lahat ng tao. Magpapahayag ang inyong mga anak na lalaki at mga babae, makakakita ng mga pangitain ang inyong mga kabataang lalaki, at magkakaroon ng mga panaginip ang inyong mga matatandang lalaki.
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.
Gayundin sa aking mga lingkod at sa aking mga lingkod na babae ibubuhos ko ang aking Espiritu sa araw na iyon, at sila ay magpapahayag.
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].
Magpapakita ako ng mga kamangha-manghang bagay mula sa langit at mga tanda dito sa lupa, dugo, apoy, at singaw ng usok.
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].
Magiging madilim ang araw at magiging dugo ang buwan, bago dumating ang dakila at hindi pangkaraniwang araw ng Panginoon.
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].}’”
Iyon ay ang pagkakaligtas ng bawat isa na tatawag sa pangalan ng Panginoon.'
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].
Mga taga-Israel, pakinggan ninyo ang mga salitang ito: Si Jesus ng Nazaret, ang lalaking pinatunayan ng Diyos sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng mga makapangyarihang gawa at mga kamangha- manghang bagay at mga palatandaang ginawa ng Diyos sa pamamagitan niya, sa inyong kalagitnaan, katulad ng inyong nalalaman-
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.
dahil sa nakatakdang plano at kaalaman ng Diyos mula sa simula pa siya ay isinuko ninyo sa mga kamay ng taong lumalabag sa batas, ipinako siya sa krus at pinatay;
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.”
binuhay ng Diyos, inalis ang mga sakit at kamatayan sa kaniya, sapagakat hindi siya maaaring pigilan nito.
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].
Sapagkat sinasabi ni David tungkol sa kaniya, 'Nakita kong lagi ang Panginoon sa aking harapan, sapagkat siya ay nasa aking kanang kamay upang hindi ako matinag.
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]).
Samakatuwid, natuwa ang aking puso at nagalak ang aking dila. Maging ang aking laman ay mamumuhay nang may pananalig.
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 )
Sapagkat hindi mo pababayaan ang aking kaluluwa na mapunta sa hades, o papayagan ang iyong Nag-iisang Banal na makitang mabulok. (Hadēs )
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].”
Ipinahayag mo sa akin ang mga daan ng buhay; pupunuin mo ako ng kagalakan sa iyong harapan.'
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.
Mga kapatid, kaya kong magsalita sa inyo ng may katiyakan tungkol sa patriarkang si David: namatay siya at inilibing, at ang kaniyang libingan ay nasa atin hanggang sa ngayon.
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].)
Kaya naman, siya ay isang propeta at alam niya na may sinumpaang panata ang Diyos sa kaniya, na itinalaga niya sa kaniyang kaapu-apuhan ang maupo sa kaniyang trono.
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 )
Nahulaan niya na ito at nagsalita tungkol sa pagkabuhay ni Cristo, Na hindi siya pinabayaan doon sa hades, o ang kanyang laman ay makitang mabulok.' (Hadēs )
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.
Ang Jesus na ito ay binuhay ng Diyos kung saan saksi kaming lahat.
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.
Kaya naman pinarangalan siya sa kanang kamay ng Diyos at tinanggap ang pangako ng Banal na Espiritu mula sa Ama, ibinuhos niya ito, na inyong nakikita at naririnig.
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,
Sapagkat si David ay hindi pumaitaas sa langit, ngunit sinabi niya, 'Sinabi ng Panginoon sa aking Panginoon, “Umupo ka sa aking kanang kamay,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
hanggang sa gawin kong maging tuntungan ng iyong mga paa ang iyong mga kaaway.”
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.”
Kaya naman siguraduhing ipaalam sa lahat ng tahanan sa Israel na ginawa siya ng Diyos na parehong Panginoon at Cristo, ang Jesus na ito na ipinako ninyo sa krus.”
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]?”
Nang marinig nila ito, nadurog ang kanilang puso, at sinabi kay Pedro at sa iba pang mga apostol, “Mga kapatid, ano ba ang dapat naming gawin?”
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.
At sinabi ni Pedro sa kanila, “Magsisi at magpabautismo, ang bawat isa sa inyo sa pangalan ni Jesu-Cristo para sa kapatawaran ng inyong mga kasalanan, at inyong tatanggapin ang kaloob ng Banal na Espiritu.
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]!”
Sapagkat sa inyo ang pangako at sa inyong mga anak at sa lahat ng mga nasa malayo, at sa mga tao na tatawagin ng ating Panginoong Diyos.”
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]!”
Pinatotohanan at hinimok niya sila sa pamamagitan ng maraming mga salita; sinabi niya,” Iligtas ninyo ang inyong mga sarili mula sa mga masasamang salin-lahing ito.
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.
Pagkatapos tinanggap nila ang kaniyang salita at nabautismuhan, at ng araw na iyon may mga naidagdag na aabot sa tatlong libong mga kaluluwa.
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].
Nagpatuloy sila sa mga katuruan ng mga apostol at pagsasama-sama, sa pagpipira-piraso ng tinapay at sa pananalangin.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Dumating ang takot sa bawat kaluluwa, at maraming mga kamangha- manghang bagay at mga tanda ang nagawa ng mga apostol.
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.
Ang lahat ng nanampalataya ay nagsama-sama at ibinahagi ang kanilang mga ari-arian,
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.
at ipinagbili nila ang kanilang mga pag-aari at mga ari-arian at ipinamahagi sa lahat, ayon sa pangangailangan ng bawat-isa.
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.
Nagpatuloy sila sa bawat araw na may iisang layunin sa templo, at nagpira-piraso sila ng tinapay sa kanilang mga tahanan, at namamahagi ng pagkain na may kagalakan at kapakumbabaan ng puso.
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].
Nagpupuri sila sa Diyos at kinalugdan sila ng lahat ng mga tao. Dinagdag sa kanila ng Panginoon araw-araw ang mga naliligtas.
