< Acts 2 >
1 Nígbà tí ọjọ́ Pentikosti sì dé, gbogbo wọn fi ọkàn kan wà ní ibìkan.
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all meeting together in one place.
2 Lójijì ìró sì ti ọ̀run wá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìró ẹ̀fúùfù líle, ó sì kún gbogbo ilé níbi tí wọ́n gbé jókòó.
Suddenly a noise came from heaven like a roaring wind that filled the whole house where they were staying.
3 Ẹ̀là ahọ́n bí i iná sì yọ sí wọn, ó pín, ó sì bà lé olúkúlùkù wọn.
They saw what looked like separate tongue-shaped flames that settled on each of them.
4 Gbogbo wọn sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, wọn sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í fi èdè mìíràn sọ̀rọ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ẹ̀mí ti fi fún wọn ni ohùn.
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 Àwọn Júù olùfọkànsìn láti orílẹ̀-èdè gbogbo lábẹ́ ọ̀run sì ń gbé Jerusalẹmu.
At that time there were devout Jews from every nation on earth living in Jerusalem.
6 Nígbà tí wọn sì gbọ́ ìró yìí, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn péjọ pẹ̀lú ìyàlẹ́nu, nítorí tí olúkúlùkù gbọ́ tí wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀ ní èdè rẹ̀.
When they heard this noise, a large crowd of them gathered. They were puzzled because everyone heard their own language being spoken.
7 Ẹnu sì yà wọ́n, wọn ń wí fún ara wọn pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ara Galili kọ́ ni gbogbo àwọn tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí jẹ́?
They were totally amazed, saying, “Look, these people who are speaking—aren't they all Galileans?
8 Èéha sì tí ṣe ti olúkúlùkù wa fi ń gbọ́ bí wọ́n tí ń fi èdè sọ̀rọ̀?
So how is it that we can all hear them speaking in our own mother tongue?
9 Àwọn ará Partia, àti Media, àti Elamu; àti àwọn tí ń gbé Mesopotamia, Judea, àti Kappadokia, Pọntu àti Asia.
Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Frigia, àti Pamfilia, Ejibiti, àti agbègbè Libia níhà Kirene; àti àwọn àtìpó Romu, àwọn Júù àti àwọn aláwọ̀ṣe Júù
Phrygia and Pamphylia; from Egypt and the area of Libya around Cyrene; visitors from Rome, both Jews and converts,
11 (àti àwọn Júù àti àwọn tí a ti ipa ẹ̀sìn sọ di Júù); àwọn ará Krete àti Arabia; àwa gbọ́ tí wọ́n sọ̀rọ̀ iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá Ọlọ́run ni èdè wa.”
Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our own languages about all the great things God has done.”
12 Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo wọn, wọ́n sì wárìrì. Wọn wí fún ara wọn pé, “Kí ni èyí túmọ̀ sí?”
They were all amazed and confused. “What does this mean?” they asked each other.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹlòmíràn ń ṣẹ̀fẹ̀, wọn sí wí pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí kún fún wáìnì tuntun”.
But others jeered and said, “They've been drinking too much wine!”
14 Nígbà náà ni Peteru dìde dúró pẹ̀lú àwọn mọ́kànlá yòókù, ó gbé ohùn rẹ̀ sókè, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin Júù ènìyàn mi àti gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ń gbé Jerusalẹmu, ẹ jẹ́ kí èyí kí ó yé yin; kí ẹ sì fetísí ọ̀rọ̀ mi.
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 Àwọn wọ̀nyí kò mu ọtí yó, bí ẹ̀yin tí rò ó; wákàtí kẹta ọjọ́ sá à ni èyí.
These men aren't drunk as you presume. It's only nine in the morning!
16 Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ ti a ti sọ láti ẹnu wòlíì Joẹli wá pé:
What's happening is what was predicted by the prophet Joel:
17 “Ọlọ́run wí pé, ‘Ní ìkẹyìn ọjọ́, Èmi yóò tú nínú Ẹ̀mí mí jáde sára ènìyàn gbogbo, àwọn ọmọ yín ọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọ yín obìnrin yóò máa sọtẹ́lẹ̀ àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin yín yóò sì máa ríran, àwọn arúgbó yín yóò sì máa lá àlá,
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 àti sára àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mi ọkùnrin àti sára àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mi obìnrin, ni Èmi yóò tú nínú Ẹ̀mí mi jáde ni ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì: wọn yóò sì máa sọtẹ́lẹ̀.
I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, both male and female, and they will prophesy.
19 Èmi yóò sì fi iṣẹ́ ìyanu hàn lójú ọ̀run, àti àwọn àmì nísàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀; ẹ̀jẹ̀ àti iná àti rírú èéfín;
I will also give you miraculous signs in the heavens above and on the earth below—blood, fire, and swirling smoke!
20 A ó sọ oòrùn di òkùnkùn, àti òṣùpá di ẹ̀jẹ̀, kí ọjọ́ ńlá àti ọjọ́ ológo Olúwa tó dé.
The sun will become dark, and the moon will become red like blood before the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 Yóò sì ṣe, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ké pe orúkọ Olúwa ni a ó gbàlà.’
But whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 “Ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Israẹli, ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí; Jesu tí Nasareti, ọkùnrin tí a mọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá nípa iṣẹ́ agbára àti tí ìyanu, àti àmì ti Ọlọ́run ti ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ṣe láàrín yín, bí ẹ̀yin tìkára yín ti mọ̀ pẹ̀lú.
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 Ẹni tí a ti fi lé yín lọ́wọ́ nípa ìpinnu ìmọ̀ àti ìmọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Ọlọ́run; àti ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú, tí a sì pa á pẹ̀lú ìrànlọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú, a kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú, gbà á kúrò nínú ìrora ikú, nítorí tí kò ṣe é ṣe fún ikú láti dìímú.
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 Dafidi tí wí nípa tirẹ̀ pé: “‘Mo rí Olúwa nígbà gbogbo níwájú mí, nítorí tí ó ń bẹ lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún mi, a kì ó ṣí mi ní ipò.
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 Nítorí náà inú mi dùn, ahọ́n mi sì yọ̀, pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ara mi yóò sì sinmi ní ìrètí.
That's why I'm so happy! That's why my words are full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
27 Nítorí tí ìwọ kí yóò fi ọkàn mi sílẹ̀ ni isà òkú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kí yóò jẹ́ kí Ẹni Mímọ́ rẹ rí ìdíbàjẹ́. (Hadēs )
For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Hadēs )
28 Ìwọ mú mi mọ ọ̀nà ìyè, ìwọ yóò mú mi kún fún ayọ̀ ni iwájú rẹ.’
You have revealed to me the ways of life. You will fill me with joy with your presence.’
29 “Ará, èmí lè sọ fún yín pẹ̀lú ìgboyà pé Dafidi baba ńlá kú, a sì sin ín, ibojì rẹ̀ sì ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ wa títí di òní yìí.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ó jẹ́ wòlíì, àti bí ó mọ́ pé, Ọlọ́run ti ṣe ìlérí fún òun nínú ìbúra pé nínú irú-ọmọ inú rẹ̀, òun yóò mú ọ̀kan jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀.
But he was a prophet, and knew that God had promised on oath to place one of his descendants on his throne.
31 Ní rí rí èyí tẹ́lẹ̀, ó sọ ti àjíǹde Kristi, pé a kò fi ọkàn rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ni isà òkú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ara rẹ̀ kò rí ìdíbàjẹ́. (Hadēs )
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 )
32 Jesu náà yìí ni Ọlọ́run ti jí dìde sí ìyè, àwa pẹ̀lú sì jẹ́rìí sí èyí.
God has raised this Jesus from the dead, and we're all witnesses of that.
33 A ti gbéga sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Ọlọ́run, ó ti gba ìlérí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Baba, ó tu èyí tí ẹ̀yin rí àti gbọ́ nísinsin yìí síta.
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 Nítorí Dafidi kò gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run ṣùgbọ́n òun tìkára rẹ̀ wí pé, “‘Olúwa sọ fún Olúwa mi pé: “Jókòó ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi
For David didn't ascend into heaven, but he did say: the Lord told my Lord, ‘Sit down here at my right hand
35 títí èmi yóò fi sọ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ dí àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ fún ẹsẹ̀ rẹ.”’
until I have made your enemies a stool to put your feet on.’
36 “Ǹjẹ́ kí gbogbo ilé Israẹli mọ̀ dájúdájú pé, Ọlọ́run ti fi Jesu náà, ti ẹ̀yin kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú, ṣe Olúwa àti Kristi.”
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 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbọ́, ọkàn wọn gbọgbẹ́, wọn sì wí fún Peteru àti àwọn aposteli yòókù pé, “Ará, kín ni àwa yóò ṣe?”
When the people heard this they were conscience-stricken. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38 Peteru sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ ronúpìwàdà, kí a sì bamitiisi olúkúlùkù yín ní orúkọ Jesu Kristi fún ìdáríjì ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín. Ẹ̀yin yóò sì gba ẹ̀bùn Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
“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 Nítorí fún yín ni ìlérí náà, àti fún àwọn ọmọ yín, àti fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó jìnnà réré, àní gbogbo àwọn tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa yóò pè.”
This promise is given to you, to your children, and to all who are far away—everyone the Lord our God calls.”
40 Pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ púpọ̀ mìíràn ni ó fi ń kìlọ̀ tí ó sì ń fi ń rọ̀ wọ́n wí pé, “Ẹ gba ara yín là lọ́wọ́ ìran àrékérekè yìí.”
Peter went on speaking, giving them much more evidence. He warned them, “Save yourselves from this perverted generation.”
41 Nítorí náà àwọn tí ó fi ayọ̀ gba ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ a bamitiisi wọn, lọ́jọ́ náà a sì kà ìwọ̀n ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta ọkàn kún wọn.
Those who accepted what he'd said were baptized, adding about three thousand people to the group of believers that day.
42 Wọ́n sì dúró ṣinṣin nínú ẹ̀kọ́ àwọn aposteli, àti ní ìdàpọ̀, ní bíbu àkàrà àti nínú àdúrà.
They committed themselves to what the apostles had taught them, and to the fellowship of the believers, “breaking bread” and praying together.
43 Ẹ̀rù sí ba gbogbo ọkàn; iṣẹ́ ìyanu àti iṣẹ́ àmì púpọ̀ ni a ti ọwọ́ àwọn aposteli ṣe.
Everyone was in awe, and many miracles and signs were done through the apostles.
44 Gbogbo àwọn tí ó sì gbàgbọ́ wà ni ibìkan, wọn ní ohun gbogbo sọ́kàn;
All the believers were together and shared everything they had.
45 Wọn si ń ta ohun ìní àti ẹrù wọn, wọn sì ń pín wọn fún olúkúlùkù, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹnikẹ́ni tí í ṣe aláìní sí.
They sold their property and belongings, sharing the proceeds with everyone as they needed.
46 Wọ́n fi ọkàn kan dúró lójoojúmọ́ nínú tẹmpili. Wọ́n ń bu àkàrà ní ilé wọn, wọn ń fi inú dídùn àti ọkàn òtítọ́ jẹ oúnjẹ wọn.
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 Wọ́n yín Ọlọ́run, wọn sì rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ ènìyàn gbogbo, Olúwa sí ń yàn kún wọn lójoojúmọ́, àwọn tí à ń gbàlà.
Every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
