Pentecost

"Pentecost" means "fiftieth (day)." You could use the word "Pentecost" in your translation and let the text explain the meaning. Or you could use a term that means, "50th day."

celebrated the wheat harvest

The Jews would thank God for the wheat harvest by bringing offerings and celebrate by having special meals. Wheat is a grain crop; if you have no word that means "wheat," you can use a more general word for grain. This happened in May; other crops were harvested at other times of the year.

This year

That is, "In the year that Jesus died."
