< Acts 2 >

1 In the course of the Festival at the close of the Harvest the disciples had all met together,
Pentikos rangwu sa, Jisu hanpiite mina loong ah noksiit ni lomkhoon rumta.
2 when suddenly there came from the heavens a noise like that of a strong wind rushing by; it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
Dotdi rang ni pong huuk ah likhiik, neng khoontong rumta nok dowa ih chaat rumta.
3 Then there appeared tongues of what seemed to be flame, separating, so that one settled on each of them;
Eno tuihih likhiik weelu phaak arah japtup rumta ah neng sak ni ra taha.
4 and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with strange ‘tongues’ as the Spirit prompted their utterances.
Neng sak ni Esa Chiiala ah ra haano, chiiala ah ih wahoh wahoh jeng miijeng thuk rumta.
5 Now there were then staying in Jerusalem religious Jews from every country in the world;
Deekrep dowa Rangte ra choote Jehudi nok hah loong ah Jerusalem ni songtong rumta.
6 and, when this sound was heard, numbers of people collected, in the greatest excitement, because each of them heard the disciples speaking in his own language.
Neng hoopti ah japchaat rum ano, miloong ah lomkhoon rumta. Jisu hanpiite loong ah maama jengjeng ih jeng rumta asuh miloong ah paatja ih rumta.
7 They were utterly amazed, and kept asking in astonishment: “What! Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?
Neng loong ah paatja rum ano li rumta, “Arah jengla mina loong ah Galili nok hah!
8 Then how is it that we each of us hear them in our own native language?
Eno, nengjeng nengkong ah seng nok hah jeng jeng arah mamah ih chaat hi?
9 Some of us are Parthians, some Medes, some Elamites; and some of us live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Roman Asia,
Seng loong ah Parthia, Media nyia Elam nawa; Mesopotamia, Judia, nyi Kappadosia nawa; Poontas nyia Esia nawa,
10 in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the districts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; some of us are visitors from Rome,
Phrigia nyia Pamphilia nawa, Ijip nyia Sirene reenawa Libia hah ko nawa. Seng loong mararah ah Room nawa,
11 either Jews by birth or converts, and some are Cretans and Arabians — yet we all alike hear them speaking in our own tongues of the great things that God has done.”
Ranglajatte loong ah seng Jehudi damdi Judaisim ih roonghoon haano Judaisim angli, seng loong ah mararah langli Kritte nyia Arab nawa—rabah uh neng jeng ah seng jenglam ih Rangte mootkaat elong jen mokah arah tiit roongwaan rum arah chaat hi!”
12 They were all utterly amazed and bewildered. “What does it mean?” they asked one another.
Neng loong ah paattek nyia tanyah damdi, neng jaachi ni chengmui rumta, “Erah tiim suh liiha?”
13 But there were some who said with a sneer: “They have had too much new wine.”
Eno rukho loong ah Jisu hanpiite loong ah damdi doondaak siitkook ih rumta, Neng ih liita, “Arah miloong ah kham ih mok rumla!”
14 Then Peter, surrounded by the eleven other Apostles, stood up, and, raising his voice, addressed the crowd. “Men of Judea,” he began, “and all you who are staying in Jerusalem, let me tell you what this means. Mark well my words.
Pitar ah heliphante asih wasiit damdi roong toonchap ano miloong ah damdi erongwah phang jengmui rumta: Jehudi joon awan loong nyi Jerusalem ni songtongte loong, boichaat thaak he erah tiim asuh liiha erah toombaat rumha.
15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose; for it is only now nine in the morning! No!
Arah mina loong ah kham ih tamokka, sen ih mokthun ehan; amadi rangkhah phek kaattok angla.
16 This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel —
Arah bah khowah Joel ban jengta ah angla:
17 ‘It shall come about in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour out my Spirit on all mankind; Your sons and your daughters shall become Prophets, Your young men shall see visions, And your old men dream dreams;
‘Rangte ih liita, rangthoon doh Ngah ih amah re ang; Ngaachi ngaala warep khoh nah ang ah. Sen sah minuh miwah loong ih nga tiitkhaap baatrum ah; sen jaaro loong ah ih motmang tup rum ah, sen teekaang loong ih mangphe mang ah.
18 Yes, even on the slaves — for they are mine — both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit, And they shall become Prophets;
Minuh miwah, nga jeng chaatte loong suh, Erah tokdoh ngah ih chiiala koh rum ang, Eno neng ih nga tiitkhaap baatrum ah.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above, And signs on the earth below — Blood and fire and mist of smoke;
Ngah ih paatjaajih rangkhothung nah noisok ang Nyia hah khui nah uh paatjaajih ang ah. Erah doh sih, we nyia weekhot ang ah;
20 The sun shall become darkness, And the moon blood-red, Before the Day of the Lord comes — that great and awful day.
elongthoon Teesu rangka Rangwu thok ha doh, rangsa ah nakdat ih ah, nyia laphui ah sih likhiik ih saangdat ah.
21 Then shall every one who invokes the Name of the Lord be saved.’
Eno, o ih Teesu men poon ah erah mina ah epui ih ah.’
22 Men of Israel, listen to what I am saying. Jesus of Nazareth, a man whose mission from God to you was proved by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God showed among you through him, as you know full well —
“Jerusalem dowa mina loong, arah jengkhaap ah boichaat an! Najaret dowa Jisu taang ni chaan aphaan jeela, mih paatjaajih loong ah Rangte ih Jisu jun ih noisok tahan. Sen miksok ni mamah angta, loongtang ih jat ehan.
23 He, I say, in accordance with God’s definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death.
Heh kaankoong jun ih Rangte ih Jisu ah rangdah mina sen loong asuh bangphak khoni tekrapbot thuk tahan.
24 But God released him from the pangs of death and raised him to life, it being impossible for death to retain its hold upon him.
Enoothong Rangte ih heh chaan nawa ih saatsiit ano ngaakthing ih thukta, timnge liidi etek ih heh tajenta.
25 Indeed it was to him that David was referring when he said — ‘I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, For he stands at my right hand, that I should not be disquieted.
Dewid ih heh suh liita, ‘Saapoot rookwet nga Teesu ah nga ngathong ni tup hang; heh reenah ngah tasootsaam kang.
26 Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; Yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;
Erah raangtaan ih ngah tenroon ih tonglang, nga jengkhaap adi tenroon jeela. Ngah, tekte ang ang bah uh, nga laalom theng adoh naangtong ang,
27 For thou wilt not abandon my soul to the Place of Death, Nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption. (Hadēs g86)
timnge liidi an ih tek lampo nah ngah tathiinhaat rang; adoleh an jeng chaatchaatte loong ah mangbeng nah tah chaam thukko. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou have shown me the path to life, Thou wilt fill me with gladness in your presence.’
Roidong lam ah an ih noisok ih halang, nga reenah ang uno tenroon ih tongthuk hang.’
29 Brothers, I can speak to you the more confidently about the Patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.
“Nga joonte loong, sengte sengwah Dewid Luuwang khiikkhi ah sen suh baat jaatjaat ejih. Heh ti ano bengta, heh mangbeng ah amadi uh eje.
30 David, then, Prophet as he was, knowing that God ‘had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants upon his throne,’ looked into the future,
Heh khowah angta, Rangte ih baatta ah heh ih jat eta: Rangte ih kakhamta Dewid sutom dowa wasiit heh teewah likhiik Luuwang dongthuk ah.
31 and referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that ‘he had not been abandoned to the Place of Death, nor had his body undergone corruption.’ (Hadēs g86)
Rangthoon doh Rangte tiimjih re ah erah Dewid ih bantup eta, erah thoidi Kristo ngaaksaat tiit ah baatta, ‘Heh tek lampo mongrep ni tathiin haatta, Heh sak ah mangbeng ni tachaamta.’ (Hadēs g86)
32 It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.
Jisu ah Rangte ih tek nawa ngaaksaat ih thukta, seng loong ah ih jat ehi.
33 And now that he has been exalted to the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, he has begun to pour out that gift, as you yourselves now see and hear.
Jisu ah ngaaksaat thuk ano heh Wah Rangte ih jaawah ko tong thukla, eno Heh kakham jun ih Esa Chiiala ah choh eha. Amadi sen ih tiimjih tup han nyia tiimjih chaat han ah langla seng raangtaan ih ranglakkot.
34 It was not David who went up into Heaven; for he himself says — ‘The Lord said to my master: “Sit on my right hand,
Tiimnge liidi Dewid ah rangmong ni tawangta; erah nang ebah Dewid ih liita, ‘Teesu ih nga Teesu suh liita: Anpi anra loong ah ngah ih an lathong nah maang thiinthiin
35 Till I put your enemies as a footstool under thy feet.”’
nga reenah jaawah ko tong uh.’
36 So let the whole nation of Israel know beyond all doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ — this very Jesus whom you crucified.”
“Jerusalem dowa miloong ah ih jat ejih, Jisu ah sen ih bangphak ni tek haat tan ah Rangte ih Teesu nyia Kristo ang thukla!”
37 When the people heard this, they were conscience-smitten, and said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles: “Brothers, what can we do?”
Miloong ah ih jeng ah chaat rum ano, rapne sootsaam rumta Pitar nyia kaamwah loong suh li rumta, “Phoh ano loong seng ih tiimjih etheng ah?”
38 “Repent,” answered Peter, “and be baptized every one of you in the Faith of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Pitar ih baat rumta, “Sen loong ah rangdah nawa sa ejih eno Jisu Kristo mendoh sen rangdah biin anaan suh juutem theng; eno Rangte lakkot Esa Chiiala ah choh an.
39 For the promise is for you and for your children, and also for all those now far away, who may be called by the Lord our God.”
Rangte ih kakhamta ah sen raangtaan ih nyia sen sah loong raangtaan ih, adoleh o mina heh re nawa haloot ni angla erah loong raang ih—erah langla o mina seng Teesu Rangte ih heh jiinni poon rumha erah loong raangtaan ih.”
40 With many other words Peter enforced his teaching, while the burden of his exhortations was — “Save yourselves from the perverse spirit of this age.”
Pitar ih neng suh jengthoon ah jirep jenglam ih jatthuk ano li rumta, “Lajak miloong ah raangtaan ih chamnaang rangwu thok hala erah dowa maama teenuh teewah puipang an!”
41 So those who accepted his teaching were baptized, and about three thousand people joined the disciples on that day alone.
Pitar jengkhaap ah hanpi rum ano miloong ah juutem rumta, erah sa dowa ih hajaat jom mina ih jaatjaang rumta.
42 They devoted themselves to the teaching of the Apostles and to the Common Life of the Church, to the Breaking of the Bread and to the Prayers.
Kaamwah loong taangnawa nyootsoot rumta di, rangsoom suh lomtong rum adi nyia phaksat room phaksah rum adi neng saapoot ah liin eta.
43 A deep impression was made upon every one, and many wonders and signs were done at the hands of the Apostles.
Kaamwah loong asuh mih paatjaajih loong reethuk kano, warep paatjaata.
44 All who became believers in Christ held everything for the common use;
Kristaan loong ah rangsoom rangtu eroomroom ih tongtha rum ano neng huikhaak uh eroomroom ih maak rumta.
45 they sold their property and their goods, and shared the proceeds among them all, according to their individual needs.
Neng hah ah sangleh, o tiimjih jamha erah jun ih ngun ah phe phaksah ih rumta.
46 Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the Temple Courts, and to the Breaking of Bread at their homes, while they partook of their food in simple-hearted gladness, praising God, and winning the good-will of all the people.
Rangwu rookwet Rangteenok ni eroomroom ih chomui rumta, neng nok ni phaksat ah roongngit roongkhu nyia tenroon woksoon, ih room phaksah rumta,
47 And the Lord daily added to their company those who were in the path of Salvation.
enooleh tenroon woksoon ih rangphoong rangsoom tongtha rumta. Eno rangwu rookwet khopiiroidong chote loong ah Teesu ih neng damdi weewe thok ih thukrum taha.
