2 Kasia gbe sesẽ aɖe si le abe ya sesẽ ƒe ƒoƒo ene la ɖi tso dziƒo, eye wòyɔ aƒe si me wonɔ la taŋtaŋ.
And suddenly there came a sounde from heauen, as of a russhing and mightie winde, and it filled all the house where they sate.

They were all then amased, and douted, saying one to another, What may this be?

16 Ke boŋ nu si teƒe kpɔm miele ŋdi sia la nye nu si Nyagblɔɖila Yoel gblɔ ɖi xoxoxo ƒe alafa nanewoe nye esi va yi be,
But this is that, which was spoken by the Prophet Ioel,
17 “‘Le ŋkeke mamlɛawo me la, Mawu gblɔ be makɔ nye Gbɔgbɔ ɖe amegbetɔƒomeawo katã dzi. Esia ana be mia viŋutsuwo kple mia vinyɔnuwo agblɔ nya ɖi. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, mia viŋutsuwo akpɔ ŋutegawo, eye ame tsitsiwo hã aku drɔ̃ewo.
And it shalbe in the last daies, saith God, I wil powre out of my Spirite vpon al flesh, and your sonnes, and your daughters shall prophecie, and your yong men shall see visions, and your old men shall dreame dreames.
18 Ɛ̃, matrɔ nye Gbɔgbɔ la akɔ ɖe nye subɔlawo katã dzi, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa, matrɔ nye Gbɔgbɔ la akɔ ɖi le ŋkeke mawo me, ale be woagblɔ nya ɖi.
And on my seruauntes, and on mine handmaides I will powre out of my Spirite in those daies, and they shall prophecie.
19 Mana nukunuwo nadzɔ le dziŋgɔli me, eye dzesiwo adze le anyigba dzi siaa eye wòadze abe ʋu, dzo bibi kple dzudzɔ babla kɔtɔɔ ene.
And I wil shew wonders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and the vapour of smoke.
20 Ɣe ado viviti, eye ɣleti atrɔ zu ʋu hafi Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkeke gã si nye atsyɔ̃ŋkeke la naɖo.
The Sunne shalbe turned into darkenesse, and the moone into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.
21 Ke ame sia ame si yɔa Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkɔa la akpɔ ɖeɖe.’”
And it shalbe, that whosoeuer shall call on the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued.
22 Petro yi edzi gblɔ be, “Nɔvi Israeltɔwo, miɖo to miase! Mawu wɔ nukunuwo, dzesiwo kple nu dzɔtsuwo le mia dome to Yesu Nazaretitɔ la dzi be yeatsɔ aɖo kpe edzii be Yesu nye ye Vi vavã. Nu siawo katã le nyanya me na mi pɛpɛpɛ.
Yee men of Israel, heare these woordes, JESUS of Nazareth, a man approued of God among you with great workes, and wonders, and signes, which God did by him in the middes of you, as yee your selues also knowe:
23 Azɔ, abe ale si Mawu ŋutɔ wɔ ɖoɖo da ɖi xoxo ene la, eɖe mɔ na mi, mieto nu madzɔmadzɔ wɔlawo ƒe asi dzi, klã Yesu ɖe atitsoga ŋu eye miewui.
Him, I say, being deliuered by the determinate counsell, and foreknowledge of God, after you had taken, with wicked handes you haue crucified and slaine.
24 Gake Mawu ŋutɔ gaɖe Yesu tso ku ƒe ŋɔdzi me, fɔe ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome, elabena ku ƒe ŋusẽ mate ŋu aɖu Yesu dzi o.
Whome God hath raised vp, and loosed the sorrowes of death, because it was vnpossible that he should be holden of it.
25 Fia David ƒo nu tso Yesu ŋu be, “‘Mekpɔ Aƒetɔ la le gbɔnye ɖaa, elabena ele nye nuɖusime, eya ta nyemavɔ̃ o.
For Dauid sayeth concerning him, I beheld the Lord alwaies before me: for hee is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken.
26 Esia ta nye dzi le dzidzɔ kpɔm, eye nye aɖe le aseye tsom be nye ŋutilã anɔ agbe le mɔkpɔkpɔ me.
Therefore did mine heart reioyce, and my tongue was glad, and moreouer also my flesh shall rest in hope,
27 Elabena wò Mawu, màgblẽ nye luʋɔ ɖe tsiẽƒe alo ana wò kɔkɔetɔ la ƒe ŋutilã nanyunyɔ o. (Hadēs g86)
Because thou wilt not leaue my soule in graue, neither wilt suffer thine Holy one to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Èna menya agbemɔwo, eye àtsɔ dzidzɔ ayɔ menye le ŋkuwò me.’”
Thou hast shewed me the waies of life, and shalt make me full of ioy with thy countenance.
29 Petro yi edzi be, “Nɔviwo, mɔ li be magblɔ nya na mi kple dzideƒo le tɔgbui David la ŋuti, be eku, eye woɖii, eƒe yɔdo le mía dome va se ɖe egbe.
Men and brethren, I may boldly speake vnto you of the Patriarke Dauid, that hee is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with vs vnto this day.
30 Ke enye nyagblɔɖila, eye enya be Mawu do ŋugbe matrɔmatrɔ da ɖi be David ƒe dzidzimevi ɖeka ava nɔ eƒe fiazikpui dzi aɖu fia.
Therefore, seeing hee was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that of the fruite of his loynes hee woulde raise vp Christ concerning the flesh, to set him vpon his throne,
31 Gawu la, David kpɔ nu siwo ava dzɔ le ŋgɔgbea, eye wògblɔe ɖi le Kristo la ƒe tsitretsitsi tso ame kukuwo dome ŋu be eƒe luʋɔ matsi tsiẽƒe o, eye eƒe ŋutilã manyunyɔ o. (Hadēs g86)
Hee knowing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soule shoulde not bee left in graue, neither his flesh shoulde see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Mawu fɔ Yesu sia ɖe tsitre tso ku me, eye mí katã míenye ɖasefowo na tsitretsitsi sia.
This Iesus hath God raised vp, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Ke fifia la, Mawu do eya amea ɖe dzi, hetsɔe ɖo eƒe nuɖusime abe ale si Fofo la ŋutɔ do ŋugbee ene la, ena ŋusẽe be wòaɖo Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ɖe mía dome, eye eya ƒe dɔwɔnae nye nu siwo kpɔm miele kple nu siwo sem mìele fifia.
Since then that he by the right hande of God hath bene exalted, and hath receiued of his Father the promise of the holy Ghost, hee hath shed foorth this which yee nowe see and heare.
34 Elabena David meyi dziƒo o, gake egblɔ be, “‘Aƒetɔ la gblɔ na nye Aƒetɔ be: “Nɔ anyi ɖe nye nuɖusime
For Dauid is not ascended into heauen, but he sayth, The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hande,
35 va se ɖe esime matsɔ wò ketɔwo awɔ wò afɔɖodzinu.”’
Vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
36 “Eya ta mina ne Israel blibo la katã nanyae nyuie be Mawu wɔ Yesu sia, ame si miawo mieklã ɖe ati ŋu la, Aƒetɔ la kple Kristo la siaa.”
Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a suretie, that God hath made him both Lord, and Christ, this Iesus, I say, whome yee haue crucified.
37 Esi wose nya siawo la, ewɔ dɔ ɖe wo dzi ale gbegbe be wo dometɔ aɖewo bia Petro kple apostolo bubuawo be, “Nɔviwo, nu ka wɔ ge míala?”
Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their heartes, and said vnto Peter and the other Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we doe?
38 Petro ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Mitrɔ dzi me ne woade mawutsi ta na mi le Yesu Kristo ƒe ŋkɔ me, be woatsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mi. Ekema miawo hã miaxɔ nunana sia, si nye Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la.
Then Peter said vnto them, Amend your liues, and bee baptized euery one of you in the Name of Iesus Christ for the remission of sinnes: and ye shall receiue the gift of the holy Ghost.
39 Ŋugbedodo la nye miawo ŋutɔwo, mia viwo, ame siwo le adzɔge kple ame siwo katã Aƒetɔ mía Mawu la yɔ la tɔ.”
For the promise is made vnto you, and to your children, and to all that are a farre off, euen as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 Petro tsɔ nya bubu geɖewo xlɔ̃ nu ameha la, eye wòƒoe ɖe wo nu be, “Miɖe mia ɖokuiwo tso dzidzime vɔ̃ɖi sia me.”
And with many other words he besought and exhorted them, saying, Saue your selues from this froward generation.
41 Ame siwo xɔ Petro ƒe nyawo dzi se la, woanɔ abe akpe etɔ̃ ene, eye wode mawutsi ta na wo gbe ma gbe ke, eye wotsɔ wo kpe ɖe ha la ŋu.
Then they that gladly receiued his word, were baptized: and the same day there were added to the Church about three thousand soules.
42 Ame siawo kpena enuenu hena apostolowo ƒe nufiafia, habɔbɔ, Aƒetɔ ƒe nuɖuɖu kɔkɔe la ɖuɖu kple gbedodoɖa.
And they continued in the Apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and prayers.
43 Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nɔ anyi le vɔvɔ̃ tɔxɛ me, eye apostoloawo hã wɔ nukunu kple dzesi geɖewo wokpɔ.
And feare came vpon euery soule: and many wonders and signes were done by ye Apostles.
44 Xɔsetɔwo katã nɔ teƒe ɖeka, wowɔ woƒe nuwo katã hamenui,
And all that beleeued, were in one place, and had all things common.
45 wotsɔ woƒe kesinɔnuwo kple nunɔamesiwo dzra, eye woma ga la na ame sia ame ɖe eƒe hiahiã nu.
And they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all me, as euery one had need.
46 Wokpea ta ɖe gbedoxɔ la me gbe sia gbe hesubɔa Mawu. Wodoa go le wo nɔewo ƒe aƒewo me hã heɖua Aƒetɔ la ƒe Nuɖuɖu Kɔkɔe la. Woɖua nu ɖekae le dzidzɔ kple dzimekɔkɔ me,
And they continued dayly with one accord in the Temple, and breaking bread at home, did eate their meate together with gladnesse and singlenesse of heart,
47 eye wonɔa Mawu kafum ɖaa, hekpɔa amenuveve le amewo katã gbɔ. Ke Aƒetɔ la tsɔa ame siwo kpɔ xɔxɔ la kpena ɖe wo ŋuti gbe sia gbe.
Praysing God, and had fauour with all the people: and the Lord added to the Church from day to day, such as should be saued.
