The Coming of the Holy Spirit
1 When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers were gathered together in one place. 2 Suddenly there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a strong wind blowing, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread out and touched each person there. 4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.
5 There were Jews living in Jerusalem, religious people who had come from every country in the world. 6 When they heard this noise, a large crowd gathered. They were all excited, because all of them heard the believers talking in their own languages. 7 In amazement and wonder they exclaimed, “These people who are talking like this are Galileans! 8 How is it, then, that all of us hear them speaking in our own native languages? 9 We are from Parthia, Media, and Elam; from Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia; from Pontus and Asia, 10 from Phrygia and Pamphylia, from Egypt and the regions of Libya near Cyrene. Some of us are from Rome, 11 both Jews and Gentiles converted to Judaism, and some of us are from Crete and Arabia—yet all of us hear them speaking in our own languages about the great things that God has done!” 12 Amazed and confused, they kept asking each other, “What does this mean?”
13 But others made fun of the believers, saying, “These people are drunk!”
Peter's Message
14 Then Peter stood up with the other eleven apostles and in a loud voice began to speak to the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, listen to me and let me tell you what this means. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose; it is only nine o'clock in the morning. 16 Instead, this is what the prophet Joel spoke about:
17 ‘This is what I will do in the last days, God says:
I will pour out my Spirit on everyone.
Your sons and daughters will proclaim my message;
your young men will see visions,
and your old men will have dreams.
18 Yes, even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will proclaim my message.
19 I will perform miracles in the sky above
and wonders on the earth below.
There will be blood, fire, and thick smoke;
20 the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will turn red as blood,
before the great and glorious Day of the Lord comes.
21 And then, whoever calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.’
22 “Listen to these words, fellow Israelites! Jesus of Nazareth was a man whose divine authority was clearly proven to you by all the miracles and wonders which God performed through him. You yourselves know this, for it happened here among you. 23 In accordance with his own plan God had already decided that Jesus would be handed over to you; and you killed him by letting sinful men crucify him. 24 But God raised him from death, setting him free from its power, because it was impossible that death should hold him prisoner. 25 For David said about him,
‘I saw the Lord before me at all times;
he is near me, and I will not be troubled.
26 And so I am filled with gladness,
and my words are full of joy.
And I, mortal though I am,
will rest assured in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me in the world of the dead;
you will not allow your faithful servant to rot in the grave.
28 You have shown me the paths that lead to life,
and your presence will fill me with joy.’
29 “My friends, I must speak to you plainly about our famous ancestor King David. He died and was buried, and his grave is here with us to this very day. 30 He was a prophet, and he knew what God had promised him: God had made a vow that he would make one of David's descendants a king, just as David was. 31 David saw what God was going to do in the future, and so he spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah when he said,
‘He was not abandoned in the world of the dead;
his body did not rot in the grave.’
32 God has raised this very Jesus from death, and we are all witnesses to this fact. 33 He has been raised to the right side of God, his Father, and has received from him the Holy Spirit, as he had promised. What you now see and hear is his gift that he has poured out on us. 34 For it was not David who went up into heaven; rather he said,
‘The Lord said to my Lord:
Sit here at my right side
35 until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.’
36 “All the people of Israel, then, are to know for sure that this Jesus, whom you crucified, is the one that God has made Lord and Messiah!”
37 When the people heard this, they were deeply troubled and said to Peter and the other apostles, “What shall we do, brothers?”
38 Peter said to them, “Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit. 39 For God's promise was made to you and your children, and to all who are far away—all whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
40 Peter made his appeal to them and with many other words he urged them, saying, “Save yourselves from the punishment coming on this wicked people!” 41 Many of them believed his message and were baptized, and about three thousand people were added to the group that day. 42 They spent their time in learning from the apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and sharing in the fellowship meals and the prayers.
Life among the Believers
43 Many miracles and wonders were being done through the apostles, and everyone was filled with awe. 44 All the believers continued together in close fellowship and shared their belongings with one another. 45 They would sell their property and possessions, and distribute the money among all, according to what each one needed. 46 Day after day they met as a group in the Temple, and they had their meals together in their homes, eating with glad and humble hearts, 47 praising God, and enjoying the good will of all the people. And every day the Lord added to their group those 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.
