1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
1Pentecost ni phak naah loe, nihcae boih ahmuen maeto ah poekhaih maeto hoiah oh o.
2Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
2Poek ai pui ah thacak takhi baktiah van hoiah lok angzoh moe, nihcae anghnuthaih imthung to koi boih.
3They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
3To naah kangqong hmai baktiah kaom, kangphae palai to nihcae khaeah amtueng pae moe, toah kaom kami maeto khae boih nuiah oh.
4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
4To naah nihcae boih Kacai Muithla hoi koi o moe, Muithla mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae mah kalah loknawk to apaeh o.
5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
5To naah van tlim ah kaom acaeng kaminawk boih thungah, sithaw kazom, Judahnawk Jerusalem ah oh o.
6And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.
6to tiah lok angzoh naah, pop parai kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o, nihcae mah apaeh ih lok to angmah ih lok baktih toengah thaih o pongah, dawnrai o.
7Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?
7Nihcae boih dawnrai o moe, poek anghmang o sut, Khenah, hae kaminawk loe Kalili lok na ai maw apaeh o boih?
8How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?
8Kawbangmaw aimacae ih lok baktih toengah, a thaih o boih halat?
9Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
9Aicae loe Parthia, Media, Elam prae ah kaom kami; Mesopotamia, Judea, Kapadocia, Pontus hoi Asia,
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,
10Phrygia, Pamphylia, Izip hoi Libya prae Cyrene vangpui taeng ih kami; Rom ih angvinnawk, Judahnawk hoi Judah bokhaih thungah akun kaminawk,
11both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
11Crete hoi Arab kami ah a oh o, toe Sithaw mah sak ih dawnrai hmuen to aimacae ih lok baktih toengah a thaih o, tiah nihcae mah maeto hoi maeto thuih o.
12Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
12Nihcae boih dawnrai o moe, poek anghmang o sut, hae hmuen loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw vai? tiah maeto hoi maeto angdueng o.
13But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”
13To naah kalah kaminawk mah, Hae kaminawk loe kangtha misurtui ni zok koiah naek o, tiah pahnui o thuih.
14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.
14Toe Piter loe kami hatlaito hoi nawnto angdoet moe, nihcae khaeah, Judah kami hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk, hae hae panoek oh, ka thuih ih loknawk hae tahngai oh, tiah tha hoi lok a thuih:
15These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!
15na poek o ih baktiah, hae kaminawk loe mu paquih o ai, vaihi loe akhawn bang atue thumto ni oh vop.
16No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
16Hae loe tahmaa Joel mah,
17‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
17Hnukkhuem niah loe, Sithaw mah, kaminawk boih nuiah Ka Muithla to ka kraih han, na capa hoi canunawk mah lok to taphong o tih, nangcae ih thendoengnawk mah hnuksakhaih to hnu o ueloe, mitongnawk mah amang to sah o tih:
18Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
18to na niah loe ka tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk nuiah Ka Muithla to ka kraih han; nihcae mah lok to taphong o tih:
19I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
19van ranui ah dawnrai hmuen to kam tuengsak moe, long tlim ah athii, hmai hoi hmaikhuenawk to angmathaih ah kam tuengsak han:
20The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.
20lensawk moe, dawnrai koi kaom Angraeng ih ni pha ai naah, Ni to khoving ah angcoeng ueloe, khrah to athii ah angcoeng tih:
21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
21to naah mi kawbaktih doeh Angraeng ih ahmin kawk kami loe pahlonghaih hnu tih, tiah thuih ih lok to oh.
22Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.
22Israel kaminawk, hae loknawk hae tahngai oh; Sithaw mah Nazareth Jesu nangcae khaeah patoeh pongah, Anih rang hoiah Sithaw mah dawnrai hmuen, anghmang thok hmuen hoi angmathaih hmuennawk to ang sak pae o boeh, tito na panoek o:
23He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.
23Sithaw mah panoek coek moe, khokhan tangcae baktih toengah, Anih to na naeh o moe, kami zae ban hoiah thinglam pongah takhing pacoeng ah, na hum o:
24But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.
24toe Anih loe Sithaw mah duekhaih thung hoiah loihsak moe, hing hanah pathawk let boeh: duekhaih mah Anih to patawn caeng thai ai.
25David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
25David mah Anih kawng to, Ka hmaa ah Angraeng to ka hnuk toepsoep, ka bantang bangah anih to oh pongah, ka tasoeh mak ai:
26Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,
26to pongah ka palung loe anghoe moe, ka palai mah kawnhaih to tawnh; ka takpum doeh oephaih hoiah om tih:
27because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.
27ka hinghaih pakhra hell thungah Nang caehtaak mak ai, nangmah ih kaciim kami to na qongsak mak ai.
28You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’
28Hinghaih loklam to nang panoeksak; Na hmaa ah anghoehaih hoiah nang koisak tih, tiah thuih.
29Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
29Nawkamyanawk, aicae ampa David loe duek moe, aphum o boeh, tito kamnoek ah thuih han ka koeh, anih ih taprong loe vaihni ni khoek to aicae khaeah oh.
30But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.
30Toe David loe tahmaa ah oh pongah, taksa ah oh baktih toengah, anih ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnutsak hanah, angmah ih acaeng thung hoiah, Anih mah Kri to pathawk tih, tiah Sithaw mah David khaeah lokkamhaih sak boeh, tito anih mah panoek.
31Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.
31David mah hae tiah kaom han koi hmuen to panoek coek boeh pongah, a hinghaih Pakhra loe hell thungah caehtaak mak ai, a takpum doeh qong mak ai, tiah Kri angthawk lethaih kawng to a thuih.
32God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.
32Aicae loe Sithaw mah Jesu pathawk let boeh, tiah hnukung ah oh o.
33Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
33Anih loe pakoehhaih hoiah Sithaw bantang bangah oh moe, Ampa mah lokkamhaih Kacai Muithla to hnuk boeh pongah, anih mah paek ih hae hmuen hae vaihi na hnuk o moe, na thaih o boeh.
34For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
34David loe van ah daw tahang ai: toe anih mah, Angraeng mah kai ih Angraeng khaeah, na misanawk to na khokkoenghaih ahmuen ah ka sah ai karoek to, ka bantang bangah anghnu ah, tiah a naa, tiah thuih.
35until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

36Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”
36To pongah Israel imthung takoh boih mah hae hae kahoihah panoek o nasoe, thinglam pongah na takhing o ih, Jesu loe Sithaw mah Angraeng hoi Kri ah ohsak boeh, tiah a naa.
37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
37Nihcae mah to lok to thaih o naah, nihcae ih palung to thunh pae pongah, Piter hoi patoeh ih kaminawk khaeah, Kaminawk hoi nawkamyanawk, Kawbangmaw ka tih o han boeh? tiah lok a dueng o.
38Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
38Piter mah nihcae khaeah, Zaehaih dawnpakhuem oh loe, zae tahmenhaih hnuk hanah, Jesu Kri ih ahmin hoiah tuinuem o boih ah, Kacai Muithla ih tangqum to na hnu o tih.
39This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”
39Lokkamhaih loe nangmacae han ih, na caanawk han ih, kangthla ah kaom kaminawk hoi aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah kawk hanah kaom kaminawk boih han ih ni, tiah a naa.
40With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”
40Hae lam amkhraeng kaminawk thung hoiah nangmacae hoi nangmacae amhlong oh, tiah anih mah kalah paroeai thapaekhaih loknawk to thuih pae.
41Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.
41Oephaih hoiah anih ih lok talawk kaminawk loe tuinuemhaih to hnuk o, to na niah tang kaminawk sangthumto nihcae khaeah angpaek o.
42They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
42Nihcae loe patoeh ih kaminawk mah patuk ih loknawk to kacakah patawnh o, maeto hoi maeto angkomhaih tawnh o pacoengah, takaw a aeh hoi lawkthuihaih doeh kapet ai ah sak o.
43A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.
43Hinghaih tawn kami boih mah zithaih to tawnh o: patoeh ih kaminawk mah paroeai dawnrai koi kaom hmuen hoi angmathaihnawk to sak o.
44All the believers were together and had everything in common.
44Tanghaih tawn kaminawk boih nawnto oh o moe, a tawnh o ih hmuennawk boih nawnto patoh o;
45Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.
45a tawnh o ih hmuennawk to zawh o moe, angtoenghaih baktiah kaminawk boih hanah pazet o.
46With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,
46Nihcae loe nithokkruek tempul thungah poek amhonghaih hoiah oh o, im maeto pacoeng maeto takaw a aeh o moe, kawnhaih palungthin hoiah a caak o,
47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
47Sithaw to pakoeh o moe, kaminawk boih koehhaih baktih toengah khosak o. Sithaw mah nithokkruek kricabu thungah pahlonghaih hnu kaminawk to pungsak.
