1 Palyaiche lyuŵa lya Pentekosite ŵakukulupilila wose ŵasongangene peuto pamo.
And when the days of Pentecost were completed, they were all together in the same place.
2 Chisisimuchile, lyapikaniche liloŵe mpela mbungo ja machili kutyochela kwinani ni lyagumbele mu nyuumba mose muŵatemi ŵandu.
And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, like that of a wind approaching violently, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
3 Nipele, yakopochele indu iyaoneche mpela malamba ga mooto, yajenele ni yatusile pachanya pa kila jumo jwao.
And there appeared to them separate tongues, as if of fire, which settled upon each one of them.
4 Wose ŵagumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni ŵatandite kuŵecheta iŵecheto ineine mpela Mbumu iŵatite pakwakombolesya.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they began to speak in various languages, just as the Holy Spirit bestowed eloquence to them.
5 Ku Yelusalemu kula kwaliji ni Ŵayahudi, ŵandu ŵakwajitichisya Akunnungu ŵaŵakopochele mu misi jinejine pa chilambo pano.
Now there were Jews staying in Jerusalem, pious men from every nation that is under heaven.
6 Ŵandu paŵapilikene liloŵe lyo, mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wasongangene. Ni wose ŵasimosile nnope pakuŵa mundu jwalijose ŵaapikanaga ŵanyawo achiŵechetaga chiŵecheto chakwe nsyene.
And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together and was confused in mind, because each one was listening to them speaking in his own language.
7 Ni wose ŵasimosile akuno achitiji, “Ana wose utukwapilikana achiŵechetaga yelei nganaŵa ŵandu ŵa ku Galilaya?
Then all were astonished, and they wondered, saying: “Behold, are not all of these who are speaking Galileans?
8 Ana iŵele uli ŵanyaŵa pakuŵecheta uweji tukupilikana jwalijose mchiŵecheto chetu twachinsyene?
And how is it that we have each heard them in our own language, into which we were born?
9 Ŵampepe mwa uweji ali Ŵapalisi ni Ŵamedi ni Ŵaelami, ŵane akutamanga ku Mesopotamia ni ku Yudea ni ku Kapadokia ni ku Ponto ni ku Asia ni
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 ku Filigia ni ku Pamfilia ni ku Misili ni ilambo ya ku Libia kuŵandikana ni ku Kulene, ŵane mwa uweji ali achalendo kutyochela ku Loma.
Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya which are around Cyrene, and new arrivals of the Romans,
11 Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵaŵajinjile mu dini ja Chiyahudi, ŵane ŵakopochele ku Kilete ni ku Alabia. Uweji wose tukwapikana ŵandu wo ali nkuŵecheta mu iŵecheto yetu twachinsyene yankati masengo gamakulungwa ga Akunnungu.”
likewise Jews and new converts, Cretans and Arabs: we have heard them speaking in our own languages the mighty deeds of God.”
12 Wose ŵasimosile ni kukangana akuno achiusyanaga kuti, “Chelechi malumbo gakwe chichi?”
And they were all astonished, and they wondered, saying to one another: “But what does this mean?”
13 Nambo ŵane ŵanyelwisye achitiji, “Ŵandu ŵa akolelwe.”
But others mockingly said, “These men are full of new wine.”
14 Nambo che Petulo ŵajimi pamo ni achinduna likumi ni jumo ŵala ni ŵatandite kwasalila ŵandu kwa kunyanyisya, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi achinjangu ni ŵandu wose ŵankutama pa Yelusalemu pano nninde nansalile ni ŵanyamwe mumbilikanile chenene maloŵe gangu.
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and he spoke to them: “Men of Judea, and all those who are staying in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and incline your ears to my words.
15 Ŵandu ŵa nganakolelwa mpela inkuti pakuganisya, pakuŵa sambano jino jili saa tatu ja kundaŵi.
For these men are not inebriated, as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.
16 Usyene uli awu, chachikopochele chi ni chechila chasasile che Yoeli jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu paŵatite,
But this is what was spoken of by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘Akunnungu akuti, pa gele moŵa ga mbesi, chinaape ŵandu wose Mbumu jwangu. Achiŵana ŵenu ŵachilume ni ŵachikongwe chaachilondola, ni achachanda ŵenu chaachilola yakulola, ni achachekulu ŵenu chachisagamila.
‘And this shall be: in the last days, says the Lord, I will pour out, from my Spirit, upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. And your youths shall see visions, and your elders shall dream dreams.
18 Elo, iyoyo achikapolo ŵangu achalume ni achakongwe, moŵa go chinaape Mbumu jwangu, nombewo chaachilondola.
And certainly, upon my men and women servants in those days, I will pour out from my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 Chinjitendekanya yakusimonjeka kwiunde, ni imanyisyo pa chilambo, kuchiwe ni miasi ni mooto ni lyosi lyakutopela,
And I will bestow wonders in heaven above, and signs on earth below: blood and fire and the vapor of smoke.
20 Lyuŵa chilichigalauka kuŵa chipi, ni lwesi chiluŵe lwechejeu mpela miasi, likaniiche lyelila lyuŵa lya Ambuje lyekulungwa ni lya ukulu.
The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord arrives.
21 Pelepo, jwalijose juchapopele kwa liina lya Ambuje chakulupuswe.’
And this shall be: whoever shall invoke the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli, mpilikanichisye maloŵe ga! Akunnungu ŵammanyisye kukwenu Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti kwa ilosyo ni yakusimonjeka ni imanyisyo iŵaipanganyisye Akunnungu mwa ŵanyamwe kwa litala lyakwe mpela inkuti pakwimanyilila mwachinsyene.
Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene is a man confirmed by God among you through the miracles and wonders and signs that God accomplished through him in your midst, just as you also know.
23 Pakuŵa kutyochela kundanda Akunnungu asyene ŵasachile kuti ŵanyamwe mummulaje Che Yesu, ni ŵanyamwe mwammuleje kwa kwalechela ŵandu ŵangalumbana ŵaŵambe pansalaba.
This man, under the definitive plan and foreknowledge of God, was delivered by the hands of the unjust, afflicted, and put to death.
24 Nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye, ni ŵankulupwisye mu ipwetesi ya chiwa pakuŵa nginikomboleka kuti chiwa chaugalile.
And he whom God has raised up has broken the sorrows of Hell, for certainly it was impossible for him to be held by it. (questioned)
25 Pakuŵa che Daudi ŵankunguluchile Che Yesu yeleyi, ‘Naaweni Ambuje mmbujo mwangu moŵa gose, pakuŵa ali kundyo kwangu ngandinganyika.
For David said about him: ‘I foresaw the Lord always in my sight, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved.
26 Kwa ligongo lyo ntima wangu wasangalele, sooni nagombile ilulu yakusengwa. Chiilu changu chichitame mu chilolelo,
Because of this, my heart has rejoiced, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, my flesh shall also rest in hope.
27 pakuŵa, alakwe Akunnungu nganjileka mbumu jangu kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile, natamuno kwitichisya Jwanswela jwenu asigale ali awile mwilembe. (Hadēs g86)
For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Muunosisye matala ga umi, chimung'umbasye kusengwa kwa upagwe wenu!’
You have made known to me the ways of life. You will completely fill me with happiness by your presence.’
29 “Achalongo achinjangu, ngusaka nansalile pangasisa yankati indu iyaasimene atati ŵetu che Daudi. Ŵelewo ŵajasiche ni kusichikwa, ni sooni lilembe lyakwe lili papapa pamangwetu mpaka lelo jino.
Noble brothers, permit me to speak freely to you about the Patriarch David: for he passed away and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us, even to this very day.
30 Nambo pakuŵa che Daudi ŵaliji jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu, ŵaimanyi kuti Akunnungu ŵaalumbilile ni chilumbilo kuti jumo jwa wisukulu wao chaachintenda mwenye mpela yatite kuŵa che Daudi.
Therefore, he was a prophet, for he knew that God had sworn an oath to him about the fruit of his loins, about the One who would sit upon his throne.
31 Che Daudi ŵalongolele kwiwona indu ichaitendekanye Akunnungu, nipele ŵaŵechete yankati kusyuka kwa Kilisito Chiwombosyo paŵatite, ‘Nganalekwa kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile, atamuno chiilu chao nganichiola.’ (Hadēs g86)
Foreseeing this, he was speaking about the Resurrection of the Christ. For he was neither left behind in Hell, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Nipele, Akunnungu ni ŵaŵansyusisye Che Yesu jo ni uweji wose tuli ŵa umboni wa indu yo.
This Jesus, God raised up again, and of this we are all witnesses.
33 Che Yesu paŵakwesiswe ni kuŵichikwa ni Akunnungu kundyo kwao, ŵampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kutyochela kwa Atati ŵao mpela iŵatite pakulanga. Atupele mbumu jo, chelecho ni chinkuchiwona ni kuchipilikana sambano.
Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the Promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured this out, just as you now see and hear.
34 Pakuŵa che Daudi nsyene nganakwela mpaka kwinani, nambo ŵatite, ‘Ambuje ŵaasalile Ambuje ŵangu, ntame apano kundyo kwangu,
For David did not ascend into heaven. But he himself said: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand,
35 mpaka pachinaatende ŵammagongo ŵenu kuŵa chitengu cha kuŵichila makongolo genu.’”
until I make your enemies your footstool.’
36 “Ŵandu wose ŵa ku Isilaeli akusachilwa amanyilile kwa isyene kuti jwejula Che Yesu jumwaŵambile pansalaba, Akunnungu antesile kuŵa Ambuje ni Kilisito Chiwombosyo.”
Therefore, may the entire house of Israel know most certainly that God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 Ni ŵandu paŵapilikene yeleyo, yaapeteche mmitima ni ŵausisye Che Petulo ni achinduna ŵane ŵala kuti, “Achalongo achinjetu, ana tutende chichi?”
Now when they had heard these things, they were contrite in heart, and they said to Peter and to the other Apostles: “What should we do, noble brothers?”
38 Che Petulo ŵaajanjile, “Mundu jwalijose aleche sambi syakwe ni kubatiswa kwa ulamusi u Che Yesu Kilisito ni Akunnungu channechelesye sambi syenu ni kupochela chilanga cha Akunnungu chachili Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Pakuŵa chilanga chila chaliji kwa ligongo lyenu ni kwa ligongo lya achiŵana ŵenu ni kwa ligongo lya ŵandu wose ŵakutama kwakutalika, ni mundu jwali jose juchaŵilanjikwe ni Ambuje Akunnungu ŵetu.”
For the Promise is for you and for your sons, and for all who are far away: for whomever the Lord our God will have called.”
40 Kwa maloŵe gamajinji che Petulo ŵaajamwiche ŵandu ni kwachondelela achitiji, “Nlikulupusye mwachinsyene mu uŵelesi wangalumbana wu.”
And then, with very many other words, he testified and he exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this depraved generation.”
41 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵajitichisye maloŵe gakwe ni kubatiswa. Pa lyuŵa lyo ŵandu elufu tatu ŵajonjesyeche.
Therefore, those who accepted his discourse were baptized. And about three thousand souls were added on that day.
42 Ŵelewo wose ŵapundile kujiganyikwa ni achinduna ŵa Che Yesu, ŵatemi pamo chiulongo, ŵalile chakulya cha Ambuje pamo ni kupopela.
Now they were persevering in the doctrine of the Apostles, and in the communion of the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers.
43 Yakusimonjeka ni imanyisyo yejinji yatendekwe ni achinduna ŵala ni jwalijose ŵakamwilwe ni woga.
And fear developed in every soul. Also, many miracles and signs were accomplished by the Apostles in Jerusalem. And there was a great awe in everyone.
44 Ŵakukulupilila wose ŵatemi pamo ni iŵakwete yose ŵagaŵene.
And then all who believed were together, and they held all things in common.
45 Ni ŵasumisye indu ni ipanje yao ni kugaŵilana mbiya mundu jwalijose yaikuti pakunsoŵa.
They were selling their possessions and belongings, and dividing them to all, just as any of them had need.
46 Lyuŵa ni lyuŵa ŵachinganganaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ŵalyaga chakulya pamo mmajumba gao kwa kusangalala ni kwa ntima weswela.
Also, they continued, daily, to be of one accord in the temple and to break bread among the houses; and they took their meals with exultation and simplicity of heart,
47 Ŵaalapile Akunnungu ni ŵandu wose ŵaanonyele ŵandu wo. Ni lyuŵa ni lyuŵa Ambuje ŵaajonjechesye ŵandu ŵaŵaliji nkukulupuswa.
praising God greatly, and holding favor with all the people. And every day, the Lord increased those who were being saved among them.
