Hojii 2
1 Yeroo guyyaan Pheenxeqoosxee gaʼetti, hundi isaanii iddoo tokkotti walitti qabamanii turan.
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all meeting together in one place.
2 Akkuma tasaas sagaleen akka bubbee jabaa bubbisu tokko samii irraa dhufee mana isaan keessa tataaʼaa turan sana hunda guute.
Suddenly a noise came from heaven like a roaring wind that filled the whole house where they were staying.
3 Isaanis waan akka arraba ibiddaa tokko isaa gargar qoodamee dhufee tokkoo tokkoo isaanii irra bubbuʼu argan.
They saw what looked like separate tongue-shaped flames that settled on each of them.
4 Hundi isaaniis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutamanii akkuma hafuurri sun isaan dandeessisetti afaan gara biraatiin dubbachuu jalqaban.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit gave them the ability to do so.
5 Yeroo sana Yihuudoonni Waaqa sodaatan saboota samii jala jiran hunda keessaa dhufanii Yerusaalem keessa jiraachaa turan.
At that time there were devout Jews from every nation on earth living in Jerusalem.
6 Yeroo sagaleen sun dhagaʼamettis namoonni hedduun waan jedhan dhabanii walitti qabaman; warri Hafuuraan guutaman sun afaan tokkoo tokkoo namoota sanaatiin dubbachaa turaniitii.
When they heard this noise, a large crowd of them gathered. They were puzzled because everyone heard their own language being spoken.
7 Isaanis akka malee dinqifatanii akkana jedhan; “Namoonni dudubbatan kunneen hundi warra Galiilaati mitii?
They were totally amazed, saying, “Look, these people who are speaking—aren't they all Galileans?
8 Yoos akkamiin tokkoon tokkoon keenya isaanii afaanuma keenya kan nu itti dhalanne dubbatan dhageenya ree?
So how is it that we can all hear them speaking in our own mother tongue?
9 Nu warri Phartee, warri Meedii fi warri Elaam, jiraattonni Mesophotaamiyaa, warri Yihuudaa fi Qaphadooqiyaa akkasumas jiraattonni Phonxoosii fi Asiyaa,
Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Firiigiyaa fi Phamfiliyaa, Gibxii fi kutaawwan biyya Liibiyaa kanneen naannoo Qareenaatti argaman, nu warri Roomaadhaa dhufne,
Phrygia and Pamphylia; from Egypt and the area of Libya around Cyrene; visitors from Rome, both Jews and converts,
11 nu Yihuudoonnii fi warri amantii Yihuudootaa fudhanne lamaan, namoonni Qareexii fi Araboonni kunoo yommuu namoonni kunneen afaanuma keenyaan dinqii Waaqaa dubbatan dhageenya!”
Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our own languages about all the great things God has done.”
12 Hundi isaaniis dinqifatanii, waan jedhanis wallaalanii, “Kun maal jechuu dha?” jedhanii wal gaafatan.
They were all amazed and confused. “What does this mean?” they asked each other.
13 Namoonni tokko tokko garuu, “Isaan daadhii wayinii baayʼee dhuganiiru” jedhanii isaanitti qoosan.
But others jeered and said, “They've been drinking too much wine!”
14 Phexrosis ergamoota Kudha Tokkoo sana wajjin kaʼee dhaabate; sagalee isaas ol fudhatee tuuta sanaan akkana jedhe; “Isin yaa namoota Yihuudaatii fi warri Yerusaalem keessa jiraattan hundi, mee waan kana beekaa; waan ani isinitti himu kana hubadhaa dhagaʼaa.
Then Peter stood up with the eleven disciples and spoke in a loud voice: “Fellow Jews and everyone living here in Jerusalem: pay attention to me and I'll explain all this to you!
15 Yeroon kun waan guyyaa keessaa saʼaatii sadaffaa taʼeef namoonni kunneen akka isin yaaddan sana hin machoofne!
These men aren't drunk as you presume. It's only nine in the morning!
16 Kun garuu waan Yooʼeel raajichi dubbatee dha; innis akkana jedha:
What's happening is what was predicted by the prophet Joel:
17 “‘Bara dhumaa keessa, jedha Waaqayyo, ani Hafuura koo nama hunda irratti nan dhangalaasa; ilmaanii fi intallan keessan raajii dubbatu; dargaggoonni keessan mulʼata argu; jaarsoliin keessan abjuu abjootu.
God says, ‘In the last days I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
18 Bara sana keessa garboota koo warra dhiiraa fi dubartii irratti illee, Hafuura koo nan dhangalaasa; isaanis raajii ni dubbatu.
I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, both male and female, and they will prophesy.
19 Ani ol samii irratti dinqii, gad lafa irrattis mallattoo, dhiiga, ibiddaa fi hurrii aaraa nan argisiisa.
I will also give you miraculous signs in the heavens above and on the earth below—blood, fire, and swirling smoke!
20 Utuu guyyaan Gooftaa inni guddichii fi ulfina qabeessi sun hin dhufin dura, aduun dukkanatti geeddaramti; jiʼi immoo dhiigatti geeddarama.
The sun will become dark, and the moon will become red like blood before the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 Namni maqaa Gooftaa waammatu, hundinuu ni fayya.’
But whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 “Yaa namoota Israaʼel, dubbii kana dhagaʼaa; akkuma isinuu beektan, Yesuus namni Naazreeti nama Waaqni dinqii, raajii fi mallattoo karaa isaatiin isin gidduutti hojjeteen isinii mirkaneessee dha.
People of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man confirmed by God to you by the powerful miracles and signs that God performed through him, right here among you—as you well know.
23 Namicha kana Waaqatu akkuma dur murteessee fi akkuma duraan dursee beeku sanatti dabarsee isinitti kenne. Isinis namoota hamoo wajjin tokko taatanii fanniftanii isa ajjeeftan.
God, knowing beforehand what would happen, followed his plan and resolved to hand him over to you. By means of the hands of wicked men, you killed him by nailing him to a cross.
24 Waaqni garuu dhiphina keessaa isa baasee, warra duʼan keessaa isa kaase; duuti isa irratti aangoo qabaachuu hin dandeenyeetii.
But God raised him back to life, freeing him from the burden of death, because death did not have the power to keep him a prisoner.
25 Daawitis akkana jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbate: “‘Ani yeroo hunda Gooftaa of duratti nan argan ture. Waan inni mirga koo jiruuf, ani hin raafamu.
David says of him, ‘I saw the Lord always in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
26 Kanaaf garaan koo ni gammada; arrabni koos ni ililcha; foon koos abdiidhaan jiraata.
That's why I'm so happy! That's why my words are full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Karaa jireenyaa na barsiifteerta; fuula kee durattis gammachuudhaan na guutta.’
You have revealed to me the ways of life. You will fill me with joy with your presence.’
29 “Yaa obboloota, akka Daawit hangafni abbootii durii sun duʼee awwaalame, awwaalli isaas hamma harʼaatti asuma akka jiru ani ija jabaadhee isinitti himuu nan dandaʼa.
My brothers and sisters, let me tell you plainly that our ancestor David died and was buried, and his tomb is here with us to this day.
30 Innis waan raajii tureef akka Waaqni sanyii isaa keessaa nama tokko teessoo isaa irra teessisuuf akka kakatee waadaa galeefii ture beeke.
But he was a prophet, and knew that God had promised on oath to place one of his descendants on his throne.
31 Innis waaʼee duʼaa kaʼuu Kiristoos, lubbuun isaa siiʼool keessatti akka hin hafin, yookaan foon isaas akka hin tortorin duraan dursee argee dubbate. (Hadēs g86)
David saw what would happen and spoke about the resurrection of Christ—for Christ was not abandoned to the grave nor did he experience decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Yesuusuma kana Waaqni duʼaa kaaseera; nu hundinuu dhuga baatota waan kanaa ti.
God has raised this Jesus from the dead, and we're all witnesses of that.
33 Kanaaf inni gara mirga Waaqaatti ol ol jedhee, abdii Hafuura Qulqulluu Abbaa biraa fuudhee waan isin amma argitanii fi dhageessan kana dhangalaase.
Now he's been exalted to God's right hand, and has received from the Father the Holy Spirit whom he promised, and has poured out what you're seeing and hearing.
34 Daawit gara samiitti ol hin baaneetii; inni mataan isaa garuu akkana jedha: “‘Gooftaan Gooftaa kootiin akkana jedhe; “Gara mirga koo taaʼi;
For David didn't ascend into heaven, but he did say: the Lord told my Lord, ‘Sit down here at my right hand
35 hamma ani diinota kee ejjeta miilla keetii siif godhutti.”’
until I have made your enemies a stool to put your feet on.’
36 “Kanaafuu Yesuusuma isin fanniftan kana akka Waaqni Gooftaa fi Kiristoos isa godhe manni Israaʼel hundi dhugumaan haa beeku.”
Now let everyone in Israel be totally convinced of this: God has made this Jesus, who you killed on a cross, both Lord and Messiah!”
37 Namoonni sunis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti, garaan isaanii raafamee Phexrosii fi ergamoota kaaniin, “Yaa obboloota, yoos maal haa goonu?” jedhan.
When the people heard this they were conscience-stricken. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38 Phexrosis akkana jedhee deebise; “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan qalbii jijjiirradhaa; dhiifama cubbuu keessaniitiifis maqaa Yesuus Kiristoosiitiin cuuphamaa; kennaa Hafuura Qulqulluus ni argattu.
“Repent!” Peter told them. “All of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Abdiin kunis isinii fi ijoollee keessaniif, akkasumas warra Waaqni Gooftaan keenya ofitti waamu kanneen fagoo jiran hundaaf kenname.”
This promise is given to you, to your children, and to all who are far away—everyone the Lord our God calls.”
40 Innis dubbii biraa baayʼeedhaan dhugaa baʼee, “Dhaloota jalʼaa kana duraa of oolchaa” jedhee isaan gorse.
Peter went on speaking, giving them much more evidence. He warned them, “Save yourselves from this perverted generation.”
41 Warri dubbii isaa fudhatanis ni cuuphaman; gaafas nama gara kuma sadiitu isaanitti dabalame.
Those who accepted what he'd said were baptized, adding about three thousand people to the group of believers that day.
42 Isaanis barsiisa ergamootaatti, jireenya tokkummaatti, buddeena caccabsuutti, Waaqa kadhachuuttis ni jabaatan.
They committed themselves to what the apostles had taught them, and to the fellowship of the believers, “breaking bread” and praying together.
43 Namni hundinuus sodaan guutame; dinqii fi mallattoon baayʼeen ergamootaan hojjetame.
Everyone was in awe, and many miracles and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Amantoonni hundinuus wajjin turan; waan hundas walumaan qabu turan.
All the believers were together and shared everything they had.
45 Qabeenya isaaniitii fi miʼa isaaniis gurguranii nama rakkina qabu kamiif iyyuu qoodaa turan.
They sold their property and belongings, sharing the proceeds with everyone as they needed.
46 Isaanis guyyuma guyyaan mana qulqullummaatti wal gaʼaa turan; mana tokkoo tokkoo isaaniittis buddeena kukkutanii, gammachuu fi garaa qulqulluudhaan wajjin nyaachaa turan.
Day after day they continued to meet together in the Temple, and ate together in their homes. They enjoyed their meals humbly and happily. They praised God, and everyone thought favorably of them.
47 Waaqas galateeffachaa turan. Namoota hunda durattis ulfina qabu turan. Gooftaanis guyyuma guyyaan warra fayyan waldaa isaaniitti dabalaa ture.
Every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
