Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?

How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

Then 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.

These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!

No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 “Khawnghi a dyt tym awh ce, Khawsa ing, thlang boeih ce kang Myihla ing syp kawng nyng saw, nami capakhqi ingkaw nami canukhqi ing awi khypyi kawm uh. Cadawngkhqi ing hatnaak hu kawm usaw, pacawngkhqi ing mang han kawm uh.
‘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.
18 Ka tamnaa pakhqi ingkaw ka tamnaa nukhqi ak khan awhawm kang Myihla syp kawng nyng saw, ka awi kqawn kawm uh.
Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 Bawipa a khawnghi bau ingkaw boeimangnaak ce a pha hlanawh, Khawmik ce than kawmsaw, pihla ce thi na thoeng kaw.
The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.
21 Cawh u awm Bawipang ming ak khy boeih taw hulna awm kaw,’ a tice ni.
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 “Nangmih Israel thlangkhqi aw, ve ve ngai lah uh: Nazareth Jesu ce Khawsa ing dyihpyi nawh nangmih a venawh kawpoek kyi them ing hatnaakkhqi ce sai law sak hy, namimah ingawm sim uhyk ti.
Men 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.
23 Anih ce Khawsa ing khaw khan oepchoeh nawh a sim oepchoeh hawh amyihna, nangmih a kut awh peek nace awm hy; cawh nangmih ing thlakchekhqi ak bawngnaak ing anih ce thinglam awh khing nawh him uhyk ti.
He 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.
24 Cehlai anih ce Khawsa ing thihnaak awhkawng thawh sak tlaih nawh, thihnaak ingkaw khy am kqangnaak ak khuiawh kawng loet sak hawh hy, kawtih thihnaak ing anih ce am tu khak thai hy.
But 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.
25 David ing ak awi kqawn nawh, “Ka haiawh Bawipa ce hu poepa nyng. Ka ngai ama hangnaak aham kak tang benawh awm hy.
David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
26 Cedawngawh kak kawlung ve zeel nawh kam lai ve ak kaw zeel hy; Ka pum awm ngaih-unaak ing hqing kaw,
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,
27 Ikawtih nang ing phyi khuiawh am nik khawng hyt kawm tiksaw, Nak thlang ciim ce thuh zip aham am ngaih kawp ti. (Hadēs g86)
because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Nang ing hqingnaak lam ce nani sim sak hawh a dawngawh; Na haiawh zeelnaak ing ni be sak kawp ti,” tinawh kqawn hy.
You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’
29 Koeinaakhqi, pakdam David a kawng ve ak kqih kanaa nami venawh kqawn law nyng; anih ce thi nawh, phyi khui byihna awm hawh hy, ak phyi awm tuhdy ni venawh awm poe hy.
Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 Anih taw tawngha na awm nawh, Khawsa ing a venawh awikam nawh amah a ngawihdoelh awh a cadil thlang pynoet ngawih sak kaw tinawh awi a taak ce sim hy.
But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.
31 Ni hai benawh ak awm law hly kawi ik-oeih ce a sim oepchoeh a dawngawh, anih ce phyi khuiawh am khawng hyt kawmsaw, a pum awm am thu kaw, tinawh Khrih a thawh tlaihnaak akawng ce anak kqawn oepchoeh hawh hy. (Hadēs g86)
Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Cawhkaw Jesu ce Khawsa ing thawh sak tlaih nawh, cawhkaw ik-oeih ak simpyikung dyihthing na kaimih ve awm unyng.
God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.
33 Pa ak tang benawh zoeksangna awm nawh, Pa ing awi ataak Ciim Myihla ce hu hawh hy, nami huh naming zaak ve ing syypna awm nawh ni.
Exalted, 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.
34 David ce khawk khan na am kaai hy, anih qoe ing, “Bawipa ing ka Bawipa venawh: 'Kak tang benawh ngawi lah.
For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
36 Cedawngawh Israel thlangkhqi boeih ing ve ve sim lah uh: Nangmih ing thinglam awh nami taai Jesu ce Khawsa ing Boei ingkaw Khrih na sai hawh hy,” tinak khqi hy.
Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

Peter 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.
39 Vawhkaw awikamnaak vetaw na mimah aham, nami cakhqi ham ingkaw ak hla nakaw ak awm thlangkhqi boeih – Bawipa nangmih a Khawsa ing ak khy thlangkhqi boeih aham ni,” tinak khqi hy.
This 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.”

With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”
