Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Ka chiengʼ Pentekost nochopo, noyudo ka gichokore kanyachiel giduto.
2 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.
Apoya nono, koko machalo gi yamb kalausi makudho matek noa e polo mopongʼo ot mane gibetie.
3 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.
Negineno gik machalo gi ligek mach, mane opiyo ewi ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomgi.
4 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].
Giduto kar rombgi negipongʼ gi Roho Maler, mi gichako wuoyo gi dhok mayoreyore kaka Roho nomiyogi teko mar wuoyo.
5 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.
E sechego noyudo jo-Yahudi mathoth moluoro Nyasaye ni Jerusalem. Jogi noa e pinje duto manie bwo polo.
6 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.
Kane giwinjo kit kokoni, ji mangʼeny nochokore kanyakla, ka gihum nono, nikech ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomgi ne winjo ka jogo wacho dhogi.
7 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].
Negihum kendo giwuoro, mi gipenjo niya, “Donge joma wuoyogi duto gin jo-Galili?
8 ([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]
Ka kamano, to ere kaka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa winjogi mana e dhowa wawegi?
9 [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.
Kama wantiereni nitie jo-Parthia, Media, Elam, Mesopotamia, Judea, Kapadokia, Ponto, Asia,
10 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.
Frugia, Pamfilia, Misri kod gwenge mag Libya mokiewo gi Kurene; kaachiel gi welo moa Rumi, mane otingʼo jo-Yahudi kod joma moko molokore mondo oluw din jo-Yahudi.
11 [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?”
To moko bende gin jo-Krete gi jo-Arabu. Ere kaka wawinjogi ka gihulo gik madongo ma Nyasaye osetimo e dhowa wawegi!”
12 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?”
Negipenjore ka gihum kendo gidhier nono niya, “Gima timoreni to tiende angʼo?”
13 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!”
To jomoko kuomgi nojarogi kawacho niya, “Jogi osemadho kongʼo mangʼeny momerogi.”
14 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!
Eka Petro nochungʼ malo, kaachiel gi jopuonjre apar gachiel mamoko, motingʼo dwonde kowuoyo gi jogo niya, “Un jo-Yahudi wetena, kaachiel kod ji duto modak Jerusalem, weuru anyisu tiend wachni. Chikuru itu maber mondo uwinj gima awacho.
15 [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!
Jogi ok omer kaka uwachono nikech pod en mana sa adek okinyi sani ok ngʼato nyal merie!
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Ooyo, gima timoreni en mana gima Janabi Joel nokoro chon kowacho ni,
17 ‘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].
“‘Nyasaye wacho kama: E ndalo giko anaol Roho Maler mara kuom ji duto. Yawuotu gi nyiu nokor wach, jou matindo none fweny, jodongu nolek lek.
18 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.
Kata mana jotichna machwo gi mamon, bende naol Roho Maler mara kuomgi ndalono, mi ginikor wach.
19 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].
Anatim honni miwuoro e kor polo malo kod ranyisi mathoth e piny mwalo, remo gi mach kod iro madhwolore nobedie.
20 [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].
Wangʼ chiengʼ nolokre mudho to dwe nolokre remo, kapok odiechiengʼ maduongʼ kendo man-gi duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye ochopo.
21 [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].}’”
To ngʼato ka ngʼato maluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye noresi!’”
22 [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].
Petro nomedo wachonegi niya, “Un jo-Israel, winjuru wachni: Yesu ja-Nazareth ne Nyasaye ochungo e dieru kaka ngʼat mowinjore miyo luor. Nyasaye notimo honni gi gik malich miwuoro kod ranyisi madongo e dieru kokalo kuome, mana kaka un uwegi ungʼeyo maber.
23 [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.
Yesuni ne ochiw e lwetu kaluwore gi chenro mar Nyasaye kod ngʼeyone mongirore, makmana un kukonyoru gi joma timbegi richo, ne unege ka ugure gi musmal e msalaba.
24 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.”
Kata kamano, Nyasaye nochiere oa kuom joma otho, mi ogonye oa e rem malit mar tho, nikech kata mana tho ne ok nyal loye.
25 “[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].
Daudi bende nowuoyo kuome niya, “‘Ne aneno Jehova Nyasaye e nyima ndalo duto. Nikech ka entie e lweta korachwich, to onge gima nyalo yienga.
26 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]).
Emomiyo chunya mor kendo lewa yot; ringra bende nobed gi geno,
27 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 g86)
nikech ok inijwangʼa ei liel, to bende ok niyie Ngʼati Maler ringre tow. (Hadēs g86)
28 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].”
Isenyisa yore mag ngima; kendo inipongʼa gi mor mogundho, ka an e nyimi.’
29 [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.
“Owetena, anyalo wachonu ka an gichir ni Daudi kwarwa notho mi noyike, kendo liende ni kodwa nyaka kawuono.
30 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].)
To kaka ne en janabi, nongʼeyo ni Nyasaye nosesingore e yor kwongʼruok ni enoket achiel kuom nyikwaye e lochne.
31 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 g86)
Ne oneno gik mane biro timore nyime, omiyo nowuoyo kuom chier mar Kristo ni ne ok bi jwangʼo ringre ei liel mi ringre tow. (Hadēs g86)
32 “[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.
Yesuni ema Nyasaye osechiero oa kuom joma otho, kendo wan wawegi wan joneno kuom wachno.
33 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.
Kaka koro en gi duongʼ, kobet e bad Nyasaye korachwich, Wuoro osemiye Roho Maler mane osingore ni nochiw, kendo oseoro gima koro uneno kendo uwinjoni.”
34 [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,
Daudi owuon to ne ok oidho odhi e polo, to en ema nowacho niya, “‘Ruoth nowachone Ruodha ni, “Bed e bada korachwich,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
nyaka chop aket wasiki e bwo tiendi.”’
36 [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.”
“Emomiyo nyaka ungʼe wachni malongʼo, un jo-Israel duto ni Nyasaye oseketo Yesu mane uguro Ruoth kendo Kristo.”
37 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]?”
Kane ji owinjo wachno, chunygi nongʼadonigi bura, mine giwachone Petro kod joote mamoko niya, “Owetewa, en angʼo ma dwatim?”
38 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.
Petro nodwokogi niya, “Weuru richo kendo obatisu ngʼato ka ngʼato, e nying Yesu Kristo, mondo owenu richou. Ka mano otimore, to ubiro nwangʼo Roho Maler kaka mich.
39 [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]!”
Singruok mane Nyasaye otimono en maru kaachiel gi nyithindu; kendo en mar ji duto modak kuma bor, ma gin jogo duto ma Ruoth Nyasachwa noluong ire.”
40 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]!”
Petro nomedo siemogi gi weche mamoko mathoth; komedo jiwogi kowacho niya, “Tonyuru ua kuom tiengʼ mokethoreni.”
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
Joma norwako weche Petro ne obatisi, kendo chiengʼno ji alufu adek nomedore e kwan mar joma oyie kuom Kristo.
42 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].
Joma oyie kuom Kristo noketo chunygi kuom puonj joote, kendo kuom lalruok, gi ngʼingo makati kod lamo.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Luoro nomako ji duto ka joote ne timo honni gi ranyisi mangʼeny.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
Ji duto moyie kuom Kristo noriwore kanyakla kendo negikonyore gi mwandugi duto kaachiel.
45 [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.
Negiloko mwandugi kod gik mane gin-go pesa kendo ne gipogore kaka ne ngʼato ka ngʼato dwaro.
46 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.
Negisiko giromo pile ka pile e laru mar hekalu, kendo ne gingʼingo makati e miechgi, ka gichiemo kaachiel gi chuny mamor.
47 [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].
Negisiko gipako Nyasaye, kendo ji duto ne mor kodgi. To Ruoth ne medo kwan mar joma oyie kuom Kristo e chokruokgi pile ka pile.
