1 Kasefa hoza vasage kna PentikosI ege'za, aposol naga'mo'za mago nompi atru hu'naze.
On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
2 Ana hu'za mani'nageno amehuno zaho'mofo agasasamo hiaza huno, tusi'a agasasa runo monafinti eramino mani'naza nompi avite'ne.
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.
3 Tevemofo agefu'nagana huno, tagareno vuno eno huno, magoke magoke'mofonte emani'ne.
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.
4 Maka'mofona Ruotge Avamu'mo zamagu'afi viteno, zamazeri otige'za, Avamu'mo zamasamia kante ante'za, agafa hu'za aru agerupinti kea hu'naze.
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].
5 Ana knafina knare hu'za Anumzamofo amagenentaza Juda vahe'mo'za, mopane mopane kotegati e'za Jerusalemi kumate emani'naze.
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.
6 Ana agasasa fore nehige'za, miko vahe'mo'za atru hu'za na'a fore nehie hu'naze. Na'ankure mago mago'mo'a agra'a agerupi antahitere hu'ne.
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.
7 Zamagra antri nehu'za anage hu'naze, ana maka Galili vahe'mo'za kea nehazanki na'a fore nehie?
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].
8 Na'a higeta tagra mago mago'mota tagra'a tageru'ma tarera'ma kaserantegetama neruna tagerupina nentahune?
([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]
9 Tagra rukotegati rukotegati Patia mopareti'ene, Medes mopareti'ene Elami mopareti'ene, Mesopotemia mopareti'ene, Judia mopareti'ene, Kapatosia mopareti'ene, Pontusi mopareti'ene, Esia mopareti'ene,
[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.
10 Frigia mopareti'ene, Pamfilia mopareti'ene, Isipi mopareti'ene, Sairini kaziga Livia mopareti'ene, Romuti nantu vahe'ene, Hibru vahe'ene, megi'a vahe'mo'za zamagu'a rukrahe hu'naza vahe'enene.
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.
11 Kriti mopareti'ene Arabu mopareti vahe'mota tagra hanavenentake avu'ava'zama Anumzamo'ma hia zana tagerupi nentahune!
[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?”
12 Maka'mo'za mago'ene na'a fore nehie nehu'za, tusi'za hu'za antahintahi hakare hu'naze. Zamagra'a ohumi ahumi nehu'za anage hu'naze, Na'a amazana fore nehie?
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?”
13 Hianagi mago'amo'za anama haza zankura anage hu'za zamagi'za nereza, zamagra kahefa waini ti ne'za negi nenegahaze! Hu'za hu'naze.
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!”
14 Hianagi Pita'a otino 11ni'a aposol naga'ane mani'neno ranke huno zamasmino, tamagra Judia vahe'ene, miko Jerusalemi mani'namota amama huankea tamagesa anteta antahi ankereho.
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!
15 Ama kema nehaza zanku'ma tamagesa hakare nehazana, menina nantera 9kiloki hu'neanki'za, zamagra negi tina one'naze.
[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!
16 Hu'neanagi ama'i korapa kasnampa ne'mo, Joeli hu'nea nanekemofo avufa'a meni negaze.
Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
17 Hagi vagare knafina, Anumzamo'a anage hu'ne, Nagra Avamuni'a vahepi eri herafi atresugeno, tamagri ne'mofatamimo'za, kasnampa kea huama nehanage'na, kasefa vahe'mo'za ava'na keaza nehanage'za, ranafa tamimo'za ava'na kegahaze.
‘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].
18 Nagri eri'za vahera, vene'nere ene, a'nerera Nagra Avamu'ni'a ananknafina eri herafi atresuge'za zamagra kasnampa kea hugahaze.
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.
19 Nagra monafina ruzahu'za eri fore nehu'na, kaguva avame'za ama mopafina erifore nehu'na, korane, tevene, hampone tokira hugahie.
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].
20 Zagemo'a rukrahe huno hani hanigeno, ikamo'a kora hanigeno, henka tusi'a hanave'nentake Ramofo kna egahie.
[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].
21 Ana nehanigeno miko vahe'mo'za, Ramofo agi hanta nevazisamo'za zamagu'vazinke'za knare kuma erigahaze. (Jol 2:28-32.)
[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].}’”
22 Israeli vahe'motma ama kea antahiho, Nazareti ne' Jisasina, Anumzamo azeri oti'nea ne'mo, kaguva zane ruzahu'zane, avame'zana Anumzamo'a, Agripi runtanino amuno tamifina eri'zana erigeta, keta antahita hu'naze.
[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].
23 Ama ana nera, Anumzamo antahino ahegahaze huno korapa retro hu'nea kante antetma, tamagra avaretma megi'a vahe zamazampi antage'za, keka zafare hanto ahegeno fri'ne.
[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.
24 Hianagi Anumzamo'a fri'nefinti azeri otino, fri'zamofo atazampinti azeri so'e hu'ne. Na'ankure frizamofo hanave'amo'a azerintega osu'ne.
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.”
25 Deviti'a amanahu ke agriku hu'ne, Nagra maka zupa negogeno, Ramo'a navuga nemanie, na'ankure Agra nazantmaga'a mani'neankino, mago zamo'a nazeri kazara osugahie.
“[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].
26 E'ina hu'negu nagu'amo'a so'e nehanigeno, nagipintira tusi'a musenkemo atiramigahie. Navufamo'enena ana zanke huno fore'ma hania zanku avega anteno manigahie.
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]).
27 Na'ankure kagra nagu'namena fri vahe kumapina (Heidis), otregahane, huge atresankeno Ruotge hu'nemo'a kerifina onkasrigahie. (Hadēs )
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 )
28 Kagra mani'zanimofo kana ko eri'ama hunami vare'nane. Kagrama navate'ma nemaninkeno'a, nagripina musezamo avinete, huno Deviti'a hu'ne. (Sam-Zga 16:8-11.)
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].”
29 Nafuhete, nagra fatgo hu'na neramasmue, mago tahitia Deviti'a frige'za asentageno, keri'amo'a menina tagrane me'ne.
[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.
30 Na'ankure agra kasnampa nekino antahine, Anumzamo'a mago negeho avareno tra'are (kini trate) antesigeno mani'nigu averino huvempa hu'ne.
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].)
31 Deviti'a kegamuteno, Kraisima friteno otisniazana ke'ne, fri vahe kumapina (Heidis) avufamo'a atresigeno za'za kna omaneno, onkasrisia zanku hu'ne. (Sam-Zga 16:10.) (Hadēs )
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 )
32 E'i ana Jisasina, Anumzamo'a fri'nefinti azeri otigeta, tagra maka'mota tavufinti ke'nona zanku nehune.
“[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.
33 Ana higeno Anumzamo ragi nemino, azantamaga kaziga'a avarentegeno, huvempama hu'nea Ruotge Avamura Nefampinti erino, eritagitregeta menina negeta nentahita nehaze.
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.
34 Na'ankure Deviti'a monafinka mareori'neanagi, Deviti agra'a huno, Ramo'a, nagri Ramofonku huno, Naza tamaga kaziga mani'nege'na,
[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,
35 Nagra ha' vaheka'a zamazerina kagia tra antesugenka, kagiareti arentrako hugahane huno hu'ne. (Sam-Zga 110:1.)
while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
36 E'ina hu'negu, maka Israeli vahe'motma tamage hutma antahi ankereho, tamagrama aheta hanti'naza nera, Anumzamo'a azeri otigeno, Ra vahe tro huno Kraisi mani'ne.
[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.”
37 Ana kema zamagrama nentahizageno, kemo'a zamarimpafi agonaza zamareaza hige'za, Pitanku'ene ruga'a aposol nagakura anage hu'naze, tafuhete tagra na'a hugahune?
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]?”
38 Hazageno, Pita'a zamagrikura anage hu'ne, tamagu'a rukrahe nehutma, Jisas Kraisi agifi mono tina frenkeno, kumi'timia apaseramante'na, ruotge Avamu'mofo museza tamagra erigahaze.
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.
39 Na'ankure huvempama hu'neana tamagri'ene, mofavre tamimofonku'ene, afete mani'namokizmigu'ene, ruga'a vahera tagri Ra Anumzamo zamagi hanige'za, Agrite esamoza erigahaze.
[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]!”
40 Rama'a ruga'a ke Pita'a huama nehuno, zamazahuke zamasami'ne. Kefo zampima mani'naza vahepintira, maniganeta manisaza zamo tamagu'vazina, knare huta manigahaze.
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]!”
41 Agri kere zamentintima haza nagapintira, monoti fre'naze. Anazupage tima fre'nazana, 3tauseni'a nazamo'za fre'naze.
So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
42 Ana vahe'mo'za aposol nagamokizmi naneke antahiza atru hu'za monora rempi hu'za nentahiza, magopi breti kori'za nene'za (Lords sapa) nunamuna hu'naze.
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].
43 Aposol naga'mo'za hakare ruzahu'zane, kuguva'zana erifore nehazageno, maka'a vahe'mo'za nege'za zamanogu nehu'za amazana na'za fore'nehie hu'naze.
All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
44 Hanki Jisasinte zamentinti hu'naza vahe'mo'za tragote'za nemani'za, maka'za zamia omi'ami nehu'za,
All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
45 mago'a zazamine, mopa zaminena agafa hu'za zagore atrage'za, miza'sage'za zago eri'za upama hu'naza vahe refako hu'za zami'naze.
[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.
46 Maka kna ra mono (tempol) kumapi atru hu'za mono kea nehu'za, zamagu'a anterami'za, zamarimpa fruregati nonte nonte bretia kori'za nene'za kave'zamia fako hutere hu'naze.
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.
47 Anumzamofo agi hentesga nehazageno, mago'a vahe'mo'za ana vahe'mokizmi muse huzmante'naze. Ana nehazageno Anumzamo zamagu'ma vazi'nea vahe'mo'za mago mago kna rama'a efre'naze.
[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].
