< Masengo 2 >
1 Palyaiche lyuŵa lya Pentekosite ŵakukulupilila wose ŵasongangene peuto pamo.
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all of one accord in the same place.
2 Chisisimuchile, lyapikaniche liloŵe mpela mbungo ja machili kutyochela kwinani ni lyagumbele mu nyuumba mose muŵatemi ŵandu.
And suddenly there was a sound from heaven as of a mighty, rushing wind, and it filled all the 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 unto them divided tongues, as of fire, and it sat 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 Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Ku Yelusalemu kula kwaliji ni Ŵayahudi, ŵandu ŵakwajitichisya Akunnungu ŵaŵakopochele mu misi jinejine pa chilambo pano.
And Jews were dwelling at Jerusalem, devout men from every nation, of those under the 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 this report prevailing, the multitude came together and was confounded, because they were hearing them speaking each one in his own dialect.
7 Ni wose ŵasimosile akuno achitiji, “Ana wose utukwapilikana achiŵechetaga yelei nganaŵa ŵandu ŵa ku Galilaya?
And they were all astounded and marveled, saying, Are not all these who are speaking, Galileans?
8 Ana iŵele uli ŵanyaŵa pakuŵecheta uweji tukupilikana jwalijose mchiŵecheto chetu twachinsyene?
And how do we hear each one in our own dialect in 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 inhabiting 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.
indeed Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the regions of Libya which is beyond Cyrene, and Roman sojourners, both Jews and proselytes,
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.”
Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking the mighty works of God in our own languages.
12 Wose ŵasimosile ni kukangana akuno achiusyanaga kuti, “Chelechi malumbo gakwe chichi?”
And all were astounded and bewildered, saying one to another, What does this wish to be?
13 Nambo ŵane ŵanyelwisye achitiji, “Ŵandu ŵa akolelwe.”
And others mocking, continued to say, that these people are full of fermented 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.
And Peter standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke to them: Judean men and all ye dwelling at Jerusalem, let this be known unto you, and know my words.
15 Ŵandu ŵa nganakolelwa mpela inkuti pakuganisya, pakuŵa sambano jino jili saa tatu ja kundaŵi.
For these are not drunken, 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 that which has been spoken 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 it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 Elo, iyoyo achikapolo ŵangu achalume ni achakongwe, moŵa go chinaape Mbumu jwangu, nombewo chaachilondola.
and upon my servants and my handmaidens I will pour out of my Spirit on those days, and they shall prophesy.
19 Chinjitendekanya yakusimonjeka kwiunde, ni imanyisyo pa chilambo, kuchiwe ni miasi ni mooto ni lyosi lyakutopela,
And I will give wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire, and 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 day of the Lord shall come.
21 Pelepo, jwalijose juchapopele kwa liina lya Ambuje chakulupuswe.’
And it shall come to pass, that every one who may call upon the name of the Lord shall 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.
Israelitish men, hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man having been demonstrated unto you from God by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did through Him in your midst, as yourselves know;
23 Pakuŵa kutyochela kundanda Akunnungu asyene ŵasachile kuti ŵanyamwe mummulaje Che Yesu, ni ŵanyamwe mwammuleje kwa kwalechela ŵandu ŵangalumbana ŵaŵambe pansalaba.
Him by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, having been delivered, you having nailed up, slew through the hand of lawless men;
24 Nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye, ni ŵankulupwisye mu ipwetesi ya chiwa pakuŵa nginikomboleka kuti chiwa chaugalile.
whom God raised up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was impossible that he should be held by it.
25 Pakuŵa che Daudi ŵankunguluchile Che Yesu yeleyi, ‘Naaweni Ambuje mmbujo mwangu moŵa gose, pakuŵa ali kundyo kwangu ngandinganyika.
For David says in reference to him, I foresaw my Lord always before me, because he is on my right hand, in order that I may not be moved.
26 Kwa ligongo lyo ntima wangu wasangalele, sooni nagombile ilulu yakusengwa. Chiilu changu chichitame mu chilolelo,
Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue was glad, and my flesh shall indeed still rest in hope,
27 pakuŵa, alakwe Akunnungu nganjileka mbumu jangu kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile, natamuno kwitichisya Jwanswela jwenu asigale ali awile mwilembe. (Hadēs )
because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs )
28 Muunosisye matala ga umi, chimung'umbasye kusengwa kwa upagwe wenu!’
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with gladness with thy countenance.
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.
Men, brethren, it is lawful to speak to you with boldness concerning the patriarch David, because he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this 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 being a prophet and knowing that God swore with an oath, that from the fruit of his loins One should sit upon the 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 )
foreseeing he spoke concerning the resurrection of Christ, that He was not left in Hades, neither did His flesh see corruption. (Hadēs )
32 Nipele, Akunnungu ni ŵaŵansyusisye Che Yesu jo ni uweji wose tuli ŵa umboni wa indu yo.
This Jesus God raised up, whose witnesses we are.
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 on the right hand of God exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, has poured out this which you both see and hear.
34 Pakuŵa che Daudi nsyene nganakwela mpaka kwinani, nambo ŵatite, ‘Ambuje ŵaasalile Ambuje ŵangu, ntame apano kundyo kwangu,
For David hath not ascended into the heavens, but he says, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 mpaka pachinaatende ŵammagongo ŵenu kuŵa chitengu cha kuŵichila makongolo genu.’”
until I may make thy enemies the footstool of thy feet.
36 “Ŵandu wose ŵa ku Isilaeli akusachilwa amanyilile kwa isyene kuti jwejula Che Yesu jumwaŵambile pansalaba, Akunnungu antesile kuŵa Ambuje ni Kilisito Chiwombosyo.”
Then let all the house of Israel assuredly know that God hath 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?”
And hearing, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, Men, brethren, what must we do?
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.
And Peter said to them, Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ unto 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 unto you, and to your children, and to all who are afar off, so many as the Lord our God may call.
40 Kwa maloŵe gamajinji che Petulo ŵaajamwiche ŵandu ni kwachondelela achitiji, “Nlikulupusye mwachinsyene mu uŵelesi wangalumbana wu.”
And with many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying, Be saved from this wicked generation.
41 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵajitichisye maloŵe gakwe ni kubatiswa. Pa lyuŵa lyo ŵandu elufu tatu ŵajonjesyeche.
Then indeed having received his word they were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added unto them;
42 Ŵelewo wose ŵapundile kujiganyikwa ni achinduna ŵa Che Yesu, ŵatemi pamo chiulongo, ŵalile chakulya cha Ambuje pamo ni kupopela.
and they were persevering in the teaching of the apostles and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 Yakusimonjeka ni imanyisyo yejinji yatendekwe ni achinduna ŵala ni jwalijose ŵakamwilwe ni woga.
And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were wrought by the apostles in Jerusalem; and there was a great fear upon all.
44 Ŵakukulupilila wose ŵatemi pamo ni iŵakwete yose ŵagaŵene.
And all those who believed were together and had all things common,
45 Ni ŵasumisye indu ni ipanje yao ni kugaŵilana mbiya mundu jwalijose yaikuti pakunsoŵa.
and they sold their possessions and personalities, and divided the same unto all, as each one had need.
46 Lyuŵa ni lyuŵa ŵachinganganaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ŵalyaga chakulya pamo mmajumba gao kwa kusangalala ni kwa ntima weswela.
And daily of one accord in the temple they were persevering; and breaking bread from house to house, they received their food with gladness and purity of heart,
47 Ŵaalapile Akunnungu ni ŵandu wose ŵaanonyele ŵandu wo. Ni lyuŵa ni lyuŵa Ambuje ŵaajonjechesye ŵandu ŵaŵaliji nkukulupuswa.
praising God, and having favor unto all the people. And the Lord was daily adding to them those who were being saved.
