Orekma 2
1 Ke sun len in Pentecost, mwet lulalfongi nukewa fahsreni nu in acn sefanna.
In the course of the Festival at the close of the Harvest the disciples had all met together,
2 In pacl sacna sie pusra lulap kasla yen engyeng uh, oana pusren sie eng na upa, ac nwakla in lohm se elos muta loac ah nufon.
when suddenly there came from the heavens a noise like a strong wind rushing by; it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
3 Na elos liye kutu ma su oana luman loh ma firir, su fahsrelik ac tuhwi fin kais sie mwet in acn sac.
Then there appeared tongues of what seemed to be flame, separating, so that one settled on each of them;
4 Elos nukewa sessesla ke Ngun Mutal ac mutawauk in kaskas ke kutena kain in kas, oana ke Ngun sang nu selos in fahk.
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit prompted their utterances.
5 Oasr mwet Jew su muta in Jerusalem, mwet lun alu, su tuku liki mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu.
Now there were then staying in Jerusalem religious Jews from every country in the world;
6 Ke elos lohng pusra se inge, sie u na lulap fahsreni nu in acn sac. Elos nukewa arulana lut, mweyen kais sie selos lohng ke mwet lulalfongi inge elos sramsram ke kas lalos sifacna.
and, when this sound was heard, numbers of people collected, in the greatest excitement, because each of them heard the disciples speaking in his own language.
7 Ke lut lulap ac fwefela lalos elos fahk, “Mwet inge su kaskas ouinge uh elos mwet Galilee!
They were utterly amazed, and kept asking in astonishment, ‘What! Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
8 Na fuka tuh kut lohng elos sramsram ke kain in kas lun kais sie mutunfacl sesr uh?
Then how is it that we each of us hear them in our own language?
9 Kut mwet Parthia, Media, ac Elam; oayapa Mesopotamia, Judea, ac Cappadocia; Pontus ac Asia,
Some of us are Parthians, some Medes, some Elamites; and some of us live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Roman Asia,
10 oayapa liki acn Phrygia ac Pamphylia, liki Egypt ac kutu acn in Libya ma apkuran nu ke siti Cyrene. Kutu sesr ma tuku Rome me
in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the districts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; some of us are visitors from Rome,
11 kut isusla mwet Jew, a kutu sesr forla in wela alu lun mwet Jew. Ac kutu sesr tuku liki acn Crete ac Arabia. Ne ouinge a kut nukewa lohng ke elos sramsram ke kain in kas nukewa lasr, ke orekma yohk su God El oru!”
either Jews by birth or converts, and some are Cretans and Arabians – yet we all alike hear them speaking in our own languages of the great things that God has done.’
12 Ke lut lulap ac fohsak lalos, elos asiyuki na inmasrlolos, “Mea kalmen ma inge?”
They were all utterly amazed and bewildered. ‘What does it mean?’ they asked one another.
13 A kutu sin mwet uh aksruksruk ke mwet lulalfongi, ac fahk mu, “Mwet inge sruhi!”
But there were some who said with a sneer, ‘They have had too much new wine.’
14 Na Peter el tuyak wi mwet sap singoul sie, ac fahkak ke sie pusra lulap nu sin un mwet uh: “Mwet Jew wiasr, ac kowos nukewa su muta in Jerusalem, porongeyu ke nga ac aketeya kalmen ma inge nu suwos.
Then Peter, surrounded by the eleven other apostles, stood up, and, raising his voice, addressed the crowd. ‘People of Judea,’ he began, ‘and all you who are staying in Jerusalem, let me tell you what this means. Mark well my words.
15 Mwet inge tia sruhi oana ke kowos nunku an; tufahna ao eu ke lotutang uh pa inge.
These people are not drunk, as you suppose; for it is only now nine in the morning! No!
16 A pwayeiya uh, pa inge ma se mwet palu Joel el tuh fahk kac:
This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel –
17 ‘God El fahk, Pa inge ma nga ac oru ke len safla uh, Nga fah oru tuh ngun mutal luk in tuku nu fin mwet nukewa. Wen nutuwos ac acn nutuwos elos ac fah sulkakin kas luk; Mukul fusr lowos elos ac fah liye aruruma sin God me, Ac mukul matu lowos elos ac fah mwemei ma pwaye lun God.
“It will come about in the last days,” God says, “That I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; your sons and your daughters will become prophets, your young men will see visions, and your old men dream dreams;
18 Aok, finne mwet kulansap luk, mukul ac mutan, Nga ac fah sang ngun luk nu faclos in len ingo, Ac elos ac fah wi pac sulkakin kas luk.
yes, even on the slaves – for they are mine – both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit, and they will become prophets;
19 Nga ac fah oru ma usrnguk in acn engyeng uh, Ac ma sakirik fin faclu ten. Ac fah oasr pac srah, e, ac kulasr matoltol;
and I will show wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth below – blood and fire and mist of smoke;
20 Faht uh ac fah lohsrla, Ac malem uh srusrala oana srah, Meet liki Len lulap ac wolana lun Leum ac fah tuku.
the sun will become darkness, and the moon blood-red, before the day of the Lord comes – that great and awful day.
21 Na kutena mwet su pang in suk kasru sin Leum elos fah moul.’
Then will everyone who invokes the name of the Lord be saved.”
22 “Kowos mwet Israel, porongo kas luk! Jesus lun Nazareth el sie mwet, su ku lulap lal akpwayeiyuk tari ye motowos nukewa ke mwenmen ac orekma usrnguk su God El sang ku nu sel in oru. Kowos sifacna etu ma inge, mweyen orek inmasrlowos.
People of Israel, listen to what I am saying. Jesus of Nazareth, a man whose mission from God to you was proved by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God showed among you through him, as you know full well –
23 God El sifacna oakiya meet lah El ac eisalot Jesus nu inpouwos, ac kowos sang tuh mwet koluk in unilya fin sakseng soko.
he, I say, in accordance with God’s definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death.
24 Tusruk God El akmoulyalak liki misa, ac aksukosokyal liki ku lun misa, mweyen misa tia ku in sruokilya oana sie mwet kapir.
But God released him from the pangs of death and raised him to life, it being impossible for death to retain its hold on him.
25 Tuh David el fahk ouinge kacl, ‘Nga liye Leum God ye mutuk in pacl nukewa; El apkuran nu sik, ac nga ac fah tiana fosrnga.
Indeed he was the one David was referring to when he said – “I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, for he stands at my right hand, so that I should not be disquieted.
26 Ke ma inge nga arulana insewowo, Ac kas luk sessesla ke engan. Mensis nga ac finne misa, A nga fah inse misla ke sripen finsrak luk,
Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;
27 Mweyen kom ac fah tiana sisyula in facl lun mwet misa; Kom ac fah tia lela mwet kulansap oaru lom in kulawi in kulyuk uh. (Hadēs g86)
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Kom fahkak tari nu sik inkanek nu ke moul, Ac apkuran lom nu sik ac fah nwekyula ke engan.’
You have shown me the path to life, you will fill me with gladness in your presence.”
29 “Mwet lili luk, nga enenu in kaskas na kalem nu suwos kacl David, papa matu pwengpeng tumasr. El tuh misa ac pukpuki, ac kulyuk lal uh pa na oan yorosr nwe misenge.
Friends, I can speak to you the more confidently about the patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.
30 El sie mwet palu, ac el etu ma God El wuleang nu sel ah: God El orala wulela na ku se nu sel mu El ac fah oru tuh sie sin fita natul pa ac tokosra oana el.
David, then, prophet as he was, knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants on his throne, looked into the future,
31 David el liye ma God El ako in oru inge, ouinge el kaskaskin sifil moulyak lun Christ ke el fahk mu, ‘Tiana sisyukla el in facl sin mwet misa; Manol tuh tiana kulawi oan inkulyuk uh.’ (Hadēs g86)
and referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that he had not been abandoned to Hades, nor had his body undergone corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 God El tuh akmoulyauk Jesus se inge liki misa, ac kut nukewa mwet loh kac.
It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.
33 Akmoulyeyukyak el tari nu ke lac po layot sin God Papa tumal, ac el eis Ngun Mutal sin God, oana ke tuh wiliyukyang nu sel kac. Ma kowos liye ac lohng inge pa mwe sang se inge su El supwama nu facsr.
And now that he has been exalted to the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, he has begun to pour out that gift, as you yourselves now see and hear.
34 Mweyen tia David pa tuh som nu lucng ah; a David el tuh fahk, ‘Leum God El fahk nu sin Leum luk: Muta inge, ke lac po layot sik,
It was not David who went up into heaven; for he himself says – “The Lord said to my master, ‘Sit on my right hand,
35 Nwe ke nga filiya mwet lokoalok lom in oana ma loangeyen niom.’
Until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.’”
36 “Ke ma inge, wona kowos mwet Israel nukewa in arulana etu kalem, lah Jesus se inge su kowos srupusrak fin sakseng, pa God El orala tuh elan Leum ac Christ!”
So let the whole nation of Israel know beyond all doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ – this Jesus whom you crucified.’
37 Ke mwet uh lohng ma inge, arulana fakisya insialos, na elos fahk nu sel Peter ac mwet sap ngia, “Mwet lili, mea kut ac oru uh?”
When the people heard this, they were conscience-smitten, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Friends, what can we do?’
38 Peter el fahk nu selos, “Kais sie suwos enenu in forla liki ma koluk lal, ac baptaisla inen Jesus Christ, tuh ma koluk lowos fah nunak munas nu suwos; ac kowos fah eis mwe kite lun God ke Ngun Mutal.
‘Repent,’ answered Peter, ‘and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Tuh wulela lun God orekla nu suwos ac nu sin tulik nutuwos, oayapa mwet nukewa su muta yen loessula — elos nukewa su Leum God lasr El pangonma nu yorol.”
For the promise is for you and for your children, and also for all those now far away, who may be called by the Lord our God.’
40 Peter el kwafe ouinge nu selos ke kas in akku puspis saya, ac fahk, “Sifacna molikowosla liki mwe kai su ac sikyak nu sin fwil se inge su arulana koluk.”
Peter spoke to them for a long time using many other arguments and pleaded with them – ‘Save yourselves from the perverse spirit of this age.’
41 Mwet puspis selos lulalfongi kas lal Peter ac baptaisla, ac akuran tolu tausin mwet pa wela u sac ke len sac.
So those who accepted his teaching were baptized, and about three thousand people joined the disciples on that day alone.
42 Elos arulana eisalosyang in porongo ac lutlut sin mwet sap uh, oayapa aengani yurin sie sin sie, ac wi pac ipeis ke kufwa in kunsalik bread, ac pre.
They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the Common life of the church, to the breaking of the bread and to the Prayers.
43 Mwet sap elos oru ma sakirik ac mwenmen puspis, ac mwet uh arulana lut ke ma inge.
A deep impression was made on everyone, and many wonders and signs were done at the hands of the apostles.
44 Mwet lulalfongi nukewa elos arulana insese ac tukeni akasrui sie sin sie ke ma lalos.
All who became believers in Christ held everything for the common use;
45 Elos kukakunla acn ac ma lalos, ac kitalik mani kac uh nu sin mwet nukewa, fal nu ke lupan enenu lun kais sie.
they sold their property and their goods, and shared the proceeds among them all, according to their individual needs.
46 Len nukewa elos tukeni nu in Tempul, ac ke pacl in mongo elos tukeni in lohm selos ke engan ac inse pusisel.
Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the Temple Courts, and to the breaking of bread at their homes, while they partook of their food in simple-hearted gladness, praising God, and winning the goodwill of all the people.
47 Elos kaksakin God ac elos ohi yurin mwet nukewa. Ac Leum El akpusyelik mwet in u sac len nukewa ke mwet su moliyukla.
And the Lord daily added to their company those who were in the path of salvation.
