| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | ለሕዝቡም ሲናገሩ የካህናት አለቆችና የመቅደስ አዛዥ ሰዱቃውያንም፥ | And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, |
| 2 | ሕዝቡን ስለ አስተማሩና በኢየሱስ የሙታንን ትንሣኤ ስለ ሰበኩ ተቸግረው፥ ወደ እነርሱ ቀረቡ፥ | Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. |
| 3 | እጃቸውንም ጭነውባቸው አሁን መሽቶ ነበርና እስከ ማግሥቱ ድረስ በወኅኒ አኖሩአቸው። | And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. |
| 4 | ነገር ግን ቃሉን ከሰሙት ብዙዎች አመኑ፥ የወንዶችም ቍጥር አምስት ሺህ ያህል ሆነ። | Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand. |
| 5 | በነገውም አለቆቻቸውና ሽማግሌዎች ጻፎችም ሊቀ ካህናቱ ሐናም ቀያፋም ዮሐንስም እስክንድሮስም የሊቀ ካህናቱም ዘመዶች የነበሩት ሁሉ በኢየሩሳሌም ተሰበሰቡ፤ | And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, |
| 7 | እነርሱንም በመካከል አቁመው። በምን ኃይል ወይስ በማን ስም እናንተ ይህን አደረጋችሁ? ብለው ጠየቁአቸው። | And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? |
| 8 | በዚያን ጊዜ ጴጥሮስ መንፈስ ቅዱስንም ተሞልቶ እንዲህ አላቸው። እናንተ የሕዝብ አለቆችና ሽማግሌዎች፥ | Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, |
| 9 | እኛ ዛሬ ለድውዩ ሰው ስለ ተደረገው መልካም ሥራ ይህ በምን እንደዳነ ብንመረመር፥ | If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; |
| 10 | እናንተ በሰቀላችሁት እግዚአብሔርም ከሙታን ባስነሣው በናዝሬቱ በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ስም ይህ ደኅና ሆኖ በፊታችሁ እንደ ቆመ፥ ለእናንተ ለሁላችሁ ለእስራኤልም ሕዝብ ሁሉ የታወቀ ይሁን። | Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. |
| 11 | እናንተ ግንበኞች የናቃችሁት፥ የማዕዘን ራስ የሆነው ይህ ድንጋይ ነው። | This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. |
| 12 | መዳንም በሌላ በማንም የለም፤ እንድንበት ዘንድ የሚገባን ለሰዎች የተሰጠ ስም ከሰማይ በታች ሌላ የለምና። | Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. |
| 13 | ጴጥሮስና ዮሐንስም በግልጥ እንደ ተናገሩ ባዩ ጊዜ፥ መጽሐፍን የማያውቁና ያልተማሩ ሰዎች እንደ ሆኑ አስተውለው አደነቁ፥ ከኢየሱስም ጋር እንደ ነበሩ አወቁአቸው፤ | Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. |
| 14 | የተፈወሰውንም ሰው ከእነርሱ ጋር ቆሞ ሲያዩ የሚመልሱትን አጡ። | And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. |
| 15 | ከሸንጎም ወደ ውጭ ይወጡ ዘንድ አዝዘው። በእነዚህ ሰዎች ምን እንሥራ? | But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, |
| 16 | የታወቀ ምልክት በእነርሱ እጅ እንደ ተደረገ በኢየሩሳሌም ለሚኖሩ ሁሉ ተገልጦአልና፥ እንሸሽገው ዘንድ አንችልም፤ | Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. |
| 17 | ነገር ግን በሕዝቡ ዘንድ አብዝቶ እንዳይስፋፋ፥ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ ለማንም ሰው በዚህ ስም እንዳይናገሩ እየዛትን እንዘዛቸው ብለው እርስ በርሳቸው ተማከሩ። | But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. |
| 18 | ጠርተውም በኢየሱስ ስም ፈጽመው እንዳይናገሩና እንዳያስተምሩ አዘዙአቸው። | And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. |
| 19 | ጴጥሮስና ዮሐንስ ግን መልሰው። እግዚአብሔርን ከመስማት ይልቅ እናንተን እንሰማ ዘንድ በእግዚአብሔር ፊት የሚገባ እንደ ሆነ ቍረጡ፤ | But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. |
| 20 | እኛስ ያየነውንና የሰማነውን ከመናገር ዝም ማለት አንችልም አሉአቸው። | For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. |
| 21 | እነርሱም እንደ ምን እንደሚቀጡ ምክንያት ስላላገኙባቸው፥ እንደ ገና ዝተው ከሕዝቡ የተነሣ ፈቱአቸው፤ ሰዎች ሁሉ ስለ ሆነው ነገር እግዚአብሔርን ያከብሩ ነበርና። | So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done. |
| 22 | ይህ የመፈወስ ምልክት የተደረገለት ሰው ከአርባ ዓመት ይበልጠው ነበርና። | For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed. |
| 23 | ተፈትተውም ወደ ወገኖቻቸው መጡና የካህናት አለቆችና ሽማግሌዎች ያሉአቸውን ሁሉ ነገሩአቸው። | And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. |
| 24 | እነርሱም በሰሙ ጊዜ በአንድ ልብ ሆነው ወደ እግዚአብሔር ድምፃቸውን ከፍ አደረጉ እንዲህም አሉ። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አንተ ሰማዩንና ምድሩን ባሕሩንም በእነርሱም የሚኖረውን ሁሉ የፈጠርህ፥ | And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: |
| 25 | በመንፈስ ቅዱስም በብላቴናህ በአባታችን በዳዊት አፍ። አሕዛብ ለምን አጕረመረሙ? ሕዝቡስ ከንቱን ነገር ለምን አሰቡ? | Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? |
| 26 | የምድር ነገሥታት ተነሡ አለቆችም በጌታና በተቀባው ላይ አብረው ተከማቹ ብለህ የተናገርህ አምላክ ነህ። | The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. |
| 27 | በቀባኸው በቅዱሱ ብላቴናህ በኢየሱስ ላይ ሄሮድስና ጴንጤናዊው ጲላጦስ ከአሕዛብና ከእስራኤል ሕዝብ ጋር፥ እጅህና አሳብህ እንዲሆን አስቀድመው የወሰኑትን ሁሉ ሊፈጽሙ፥ በዚች ከተማ በእውነት ተሰበሰቡ። | For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, |
| 29 | አሁንም፥ ጌታ ሆይ፥ ወደ ዛቻቸው ተመልከት፤ ለመፈወስም እጅህን ስትዘረጋ በቅዱስ ብላቴናህም በኢየሱስ ስም ምልክትና ድንቅ ሲደረግ፥ ባሪያዎችህ በፍጹም ግልጥነት ቃልህን እንዲናገሩ ስጣቸው። | And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, |
| 31 | ከጸለዩም በኋላ ተሰብስበው የነበሩበት ስፍራ ተናወጠ፥ በሁሉም መንፈስ ቅዱስ ሞላባቸው፥ የእግዚአብሔርንም ቃል በግልጥ ተናገሩ። | And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. |
| 32 | ያመኑትም ሕዝብ አንድ ልብ አንዲትም ነፍስ ነበሩአቸው፥ ገንዘባቸውም ሁሉ በአንድነት ነበረ እንጂ ካለው አንድ ነገር ስንኳ የራሱ እንደ ሆነ ማንም አልተናገረም። | And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. |
| 33 | ሐዋርያትም የጌታን የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስን ትንሣኤ በታላቅ ኃይል ይመሰክሩ ነበር፤ በሁሉም ላይ ታላቅ ጸጋ ነበረባቸው። | And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. |
| 34 | በመካከላቸው አንድ ስንኳ ችግረኛ አልነበረምና፤ መሬት ወይም ቤት ያላቸው ሁሉ እየሸጡ የተሸጠውን ዋጋ ያመጡ ነበርና፥ | Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, |
| 35 | በሐዋርያትም እግር አጠገብ ያኖሩ ነበር፤ ማናቸውም እንደሚፈልግ መጠን ለእያንዳንዱ ያካፍሉት ነበር። | And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. |
| 36 | ትውልዱም የቆጵሮስ ሰው የነበረ አንድ ሌዋዊ ዮሴፍ የሚሉት ነበረ፥ እርሱም በሐዋርያት በርናባስ ተባለ ትርጓሜውም የመጽናናት ልጅ ነው፤ | And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, |
| 37 | እርሻም ነበረውና ሽጦ ገንዘቡን አምጥቶ ከሐዋርያት እግር አጠገብ አኖረው። | Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet. |
| 6 | And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. | |
| 28 | For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. | |
| 30 | By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. |
