The Coming of the Holy Spirit
1 On the day of Pentecost all the Lord's followers were together in one place. 2 Suddenly there was a noise from heaven like the sound of a mighty wind! It filled the house where they were meeting. 3 Then they saw what looked like fiery tongues moving in all directions, and a tongue came and settled on each person there. 4 The Holy Spirit took control of everyone, and they began speaking whatever languages the Spirit let them speak.
5 Many religious Jews from every country in the world were living in Jerusalem. 6 And when they heard this noise, a crowd gathered. But they were surprised, because they were hearing everything in their own languages. 7 They were excited and amazed, and said:
Don't all these who are speaking come from Galilee? 8 Then why do we hear them speaking our very own languages? 9 Some of us are from Parthia, Media, and Elam. Others are from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, 10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, parts of Libya near Cyrene, Rome, 11 Crete, and Arabia. Some of us were born Jews, and others of us have chosen to be Jews. Yet we all hear them using our own languages to tell the wonderful things God has done.
12 Everyone was excited and confused. Some of them even kept asking each other, “What does all this mean?”
13 Others made fun of the Lord's followers and said, “They are drunk.”
Peter Speaks to the Crowd
14 Peter stood with the eleven apostles and spoke in a loud and clear voice to the crowd:
Friends and everyone else living in Jerusalem, listen carefully to what I have to say! 15 You are wrong to think that these people are drunk. After all, it is only nine o'clock in the morning. 16 But this is what God told the prophet Joel to say,
17 “When the last days come,
I will give my Spirit
to everyone.
Your sons and daughters
will prophesy.
Your young men
will see visions,
and your old men
will have dreams.
18 In those days I will give
my Spirit to my servants,
both men and women,
and they will prophesy.
19 “I will work miracles
in the sky above
and wonders
on the earth below.
There will be blood and fire
and clouds of smoke.
20 The sun will turn dark,
and the moon
will be as red as blood
before the great
and wonderful day
of the Lord appears.
21 Then the Lord
will save everyone
who asks for his help.”
22 Now, listen to what I have to say about Jesus from Nazareth. God proved he sent Jesus to you by having him work miracles, wonders, and signs. All of you know this. 23 God had already planned and decided that Jesus would be handed over to you. So you took him and had evil men put him to death on a cross. 24 But God set him free from death and raised him to life. Death could not hold him in its power. 25 What David said are really the words of Jesus,
“I always see the Lord
near me,
and I will not be afraid
with him at my right side.
26 Because of this,
my heart will be glad,
my words will be joyful,
and I will live in hope.
27 The Lord won't leave me
in the grave.
I am his holy one,
and he won't let
my body decay.
28 He has shown me
the path to life,
and he makes me glad
by being near me.”
29 My friends, it is right for me to speak to you about our ancestor David. He died and was buried, and his tomb is still here. 30 But David was a prophet, and he knew that God had made a promise he would not break. He had told David someone from his own family would someday be king.
31 David knew this would happen, and so he told us Christ would be raised to life. He said God would not leave him in the grave or let his body decay. 32 All of us can tell you that God has raised Jesus to life!
33 Jesus was taken up to sit at the right side of God, and he was given the Holy Spirit, just as the Father had promised. Jesus is also the one who has given the Spirit to us, and this is what you are now seeing and hearing.
34 David didn't go up to heaven. So he wasn't talking about himself when he said, “The Lord told my Lord to sit at his right side, 35 until he made my Lord's enemies into a footstool for him.” 36 Everyone in Israel should then know for certain that God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ, even though you put him to death on a cross.
37 When the people heard this, they were very upset. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Friends, what should we do?”
38 Peter said to them, “Turn to God 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 This promise is for you and your children. It is for everyone our Lord God will choose, no matter where they live.”
40 Peter told them many other things as well. Then he said, “I beg you to save yourselves from what will happen to all these evil people.” 41 On that day about 3,000 believed his message and were baptized. 42 They spent their time learning from the apostles, and they were like family to each other. They also broke bread and prayed together.
Life among the Lord's Followers
43 Everyone was amazed by the many miracles and wonders that the apostles worked. 44 All the Lord's followers often met together, and they shared everything they had. 45 They would sell their property and possessions and give the money to whoever was in need. 46 Day after day they met together in the temple. They broke bread together in different homes and shared their food happily and freely, 47 while praising God. Everyone liked them, and each day the Lord added to their group others who were being saved.

Svātō Gora atnōkšona.
1 Vosoras svātkim atejūt, visi beja kūpā tamā pat vītā. 2 Un umai nu debesim izacēle itkai atejūšōs aukas šaļkšona un pōrpiļdeja vysu mōju, kur jī sēdēja. 3 Tad jim pasarōdeja itkai guneigas mēles, kuras izadolūt uz ikvīna nu jim nūsalaide. 4 Un jī tyka pīpiļdeiti ar Svātū Goru un sōce runōt svešōs volūdōs, kai Gors jim runōt īdvēse.
5 Jeruzalemā dzeivōja jūdi un dīvbejeigi cylvāki nu vysom tautom, kuras ir zam debesim. 6 Tai šaļkšonai atskanūt, sasapuļceja kūpā daudzi ļaužu, un, dzērdādami jūs sovā mōtes volūdā runojam, beja pōrsteigti. 7 Jī ļūti breinōjōs saceidami: Vai tad visi tī runōtōji navā galilejīši? 8 Kai tad tys varēja nūtikt, ka mes dzēržam jūs myusu dzymtā volūdā runojam? 9 Mes, partīši, medīši, elamitīši, mes, Mezopotamijas, Judeas, Kapadocijas, Ponta, Azijas, 10 Prygijas, Pamfilijas, Egiptes un tō Libijas apgobola, kurs ir pi Cyrenas, īdzeivōtōji, mes, atceļōjušī nu Romas, 11 mes, jūdi un prozeliti, mes, kretīši un arabīši: mes visi dzēržam jūs Dīva breinumdorbus sludynojam myusu volūdōs. 12 Visi aizgrōbteibā breinōjōs, un cyts cytam saceja: Kū šytys nūzeimoj? 13 Citi turpretim izzūbōja saceidami: Šitī ir piļni soldona veina.
Sv. Pīters mōca ļaudis.
14 Tad Pīters reizē ar tim vīnpadsmit uzastōja un, pacēlis sovu bolsu, saceja: Jums, Judeas veirim, un jums, visim Jeruzalemas īdzeivōtōjim, lai top šytys zynoms. Klausitēs munu vōrdu! 15 Šitī navā pīdzāruši, kai jyus dūmojat, jo ir vēļ tik trešō stuņde dīnas. 16 Bet šytys ir tys, kas caur pravīti Joeli ir sludynōts:
17 Tys nūtiks pādejōs dīnōs, soka Dīvs:
Es izlīšu Munu Goru uz ikvīnas mīsas,
un pravītōs jyusu dāli un jyusu meitas,
un jyusu jaunēkli īraudzeis parōdeibas,
un jyusu večim byus parōdeibas sapnā.
18 Pat uz sovim kolpim un kolpyunem
Es izlīšu tamōs dīnōs Munu Goru,
un ari jī pravītōs.
19 Es dareišu zeimes debesīs augšā
un breinumus lejā vērs zemes:
asni, guni un dzydrajūs dyumus;
20 saule pōrsavērss tymsumā
un mēness asnī
īprīkš na lelō un jaukō Kunga dīna atīs.
21 Kas pīsauks Kunga vōrdu, tys tiks izglōbts.
22 Jyus, Izraeļa veiri, pasaklausit šytūs vōrdu: Jezu nu Nazaretes, cylvāku, kuru Dīvs, kai jyus zynot, apstyprynōja caur vareibas parōdeišonu, breinumim un zeimem, kurus jyusu vydā caur Jū padareja, 23 saskaņā ar Dīva nūlyktū sprīdumu un īprīkšzynōšonu, nūdeve, jyus ar bezdīveigūs rūku paleidzeibu pīkolot krystā un nūnōvējot. 24 Bet Dīvs nōves sōpes apdzēse un Jū pīcēle, nōve Jō sovā varā paturēt naspēja. 25 Davids tadei par Jū soka:
Kungs maņ beja vysod pret acim.
Jys ir maņ pa lobajai pusei, lai es natyktu pakustynōts.
26 Tōpēc muna sirds prīcojās, un muna mēle līgsmoj,
ari muna mīsa mit cereibā,
27 Tu tadei munas dvēseles myrūņu vaļstī napamessi
un sovam Izradzātajam iznīceibas redzēt naļausi.
28 Tu mani mōceji dzeives ceļam
un ar prīcu pīpiļdeisi mani pret sovu vaigu.
29 Veiri, brōli, lai ir maņ atļauts atklōti jums runōt par patriarchu Davidu, kurs ir nūmiris un paglobōts, un jō kops atsarūn myusu vydā leidz pat šai dīnai. 30 Kai pravīts jys zynōja, ka Dīvs jam zvērēt zvērēja, vīnu nu jō mīsas pēcnōcējim īceļt jō gūda krāslā. 31 Un jys redzējumā aplyukōdams nōkūtni, par Kristus augšamceļšonūs saceja tai: Jys myrūņu vaļstī napaliks, un Jō mīsa iznikšonas naredzēs. 32 Un Tys ir Tys Jezus, kuru Dīvs pīcēle, — mes visi asam tō līcinīki. 33 Pēc tam, kai Jys caur Dīva lobū rūku tyka paaugstynōts, sajēmis nu Tāva Svātō Gora apsūleišonu, Jū izlēja, kai jyus poši radzat un dzēržat. 34 Davids tadei navā dabasūs uzkōpis, tūmār jys soka:
Kungs saceja munam Kungam:
sēstīs pa munai lobajai rūkai,
35 koleidz tovus īnaidnīkus Es nūlikšu
tovom kōjom par pamēsli.
36 Tai tad lai vyss Izraeļa noms eisti zyna, ka Tū Jezu, kuru jyus pīkolot krystā, Dīvs padareja par Kungu un Mesiasu.
37 Šytū dzēržūt, jūs sirds tyka satrīkta, un jī nu Pītera un cytu apostolu vaicōja: Veiri, brōli, — kas mums doroms?
38 Pīters jim saceja: Dorit grāku vaidēšonu, un ai ikvīns nu jums pījam Jezus vōrdā kristeibu, tad sajimsit sovu grāku atlaisšonu un Svātō Gora dōvonu. 39 Tadei jums un jyusu bārnim tys ir apsūleits, ari visim tōli asūšajim, jo tik Kungs myusu Dīvs jūs pasauks. 40 Vēļ ar daudzim citim vōrdim jys līcynōja un mūdynōja saceidams: Nu šytō samaitōtō dzymuma sevi glōbit!
Pyrmūs kristticeigūs dzeive.
41 Tī, kas jō vōrdu pījēme, tyka nūkristeiti, un tamā dīnā pi jim pīsavīnōja ap trejom tyukstūšom dvēseļu. 42 Un jī pastōvēja apostolu mōceibā, vīnkūpeibā, maizes lauzšonā un lyugšonā. 43 Vysus pōrjēme baile. Tai kai caur apostolim Jeruzalemā nūtyka daudz breinumu un zeim’u, tad visi ļūti beidōs. 44 Un visi ticeigī turējōs kūpā, un vyss jim beja kūpejs. 45 Jī pōrdeve sovus īpašumus un montu un tū izdaleja visim, cik kuram beja vajadzeigs. 46 Ikdīnas jī, lauzdami maizi, uzaturēja vīnprōteigi svētneicā un sātā, un bareibu pījēme prīcā un sirsneigā vīnkōršeibā. 47 Jī slavēja Dīvu un beja īmīļōti vysā tautā. Kungs ikdīnas pavairōja tūs skaitu, kurim vajadzēja kūpā ar jim byut izpesteitim.
