< Acts 2 >
1 And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were al with one accord in one place.
Ilipofika siku ya Pentekoste, wote walikuwa pamoja sehemu moja.
2 And suddenly there came a sounde from heauen, as of a russhing and mightie winde, and it filled all the house where they sate.
Ghafla ikatokea muungurumo kutoka mbinguni kama upepo mkali. ukaijaza nyumba yote walimokuwa wameketi.
3 And there appeared vnto them clouen tongues, like fire, and it sate vpon eche of them.
Hapo zikawatokea ndimi, kama ndimi za moto zimegawanyika, zikawa juu yao kila mmoja wao.
4 And they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and began to speake with other tongues, as the Spirit gaue them vtterance.
Wao wote wakajazwa na Roho Mtakatifu na wakaanza kusema kwa lugha zingine, kama vile Roho alivyowajalia kusema.
5 And there were dwelling at Hierusalem Iewes, men that feared God, of euery nation vnder heauen.
Sasa walikuwapo wayahudi waliokuwa wanaishi Yerusalemu, wacha Mungu, kutoka kila taifa chini ya mbingu.
6 Nowe when this was noised, the multitude came together and were astonied, because that euery man heard them speake his owne language.
Ngurumo hizi ziliposikiwa, kundi la watu likaja pamoja na wakiwa na wasiwasi kwa sababu kila mtu aliwasikia wakiongea kwa lugha yake mwenyewe.
7 And they wondered al, and marueiled, saying among themselues, Beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile?
waliduwaa na kushangazwa, wao walisema, “Kweli, hawa wote wanaoongea siyo Wagalilaya?
8 How then heare we euery man our owne language, wherein we were borne?
Kwa nini sisi tunawasikia, kila mmoja katika lugha tulizozaliwa nazo?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, and of Iudea, and of Cappadocia, of Pontus, and Asia,
Waparthia na Wamedi na Waelamu, na hao waishio Mesopotamia, Uyahudi, na Kapadokia, na katika Ponto na Asia,
10 And of Phrygia, and Pamphylia, of Egypt, and of the partes of Libya, which is beside Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, and Iewes, and Proselytes,
katika Frigia, Pamfilia, katika Misri, na sehemu ya Libya hata Kirene, na wageni kutoka Rumi,
11 Creetes, and Arabians: wee hearde them speake in our owne tongues the wonderful works of God.
Wayahudi na waongofu, Wakrete na Waarabu, tunawasikia wakizungumza katika lugha zetu kuhusu kazi za uweza wa Mungu.”
12 They were all then amased, and douted, saying one to another, What may this be?
Wote walikuwa wameduwaa na kutatanishwa; walisemezana wao kwa wao, “Hii ina maana gani?”
13 And others mocked, and saide, They are full of newe wine.
Lakini wengine walidhihaki wakisema, “Hawa wamejazwa kwa mvinyo mpya.”
14 But Peter standing with ye Eleuen, lift vp his voice, and said vnto them, Ye men of Iudea, and ye all that inhabite Hierusalem, be this knowen vnto you, and hearken vnto my woordes.
Lakini Petro akasimama pamoja na wale kumi na mmoja, akapaza sauti, akawaambia, “Watu wa Yudea na wote mnaoishi hapa Yerusalemu, hili lijulikane kwenu, sikilizeni kwa makini maneno yangu.
15 For these are not drunken, as yee suppose, since it is but the third houre of the day.
Watu hawa hawajalewa kama mnavyodhani, sababu saa hizi ni asubuhi saa tatu.
16 But this is that, which was spoken by the Prophet Ioel,
Lakini hili lilikuwa limesemwa kupitia kwa nabii Yoeli:
17 And it shalbe in the last daies, saith God, I wil powre out of my Spirite vpon al flesh, and your sonnes, and your daughters shall prophecie, and your yong men shall see visions, and your old men shall dreame dreames.
Itakuwa katika siku za mwisho; Mungu asema, nitamwaga Roho wangu kwa watu wote. Wana wenu na binti zenu watatoa unabii, vijana wenu wataona maono, na wazee wenu wataota ndoto.
18 And on my seruauntes, and on mine handmaides I will powre out of my Spirite in those daies, and they shall prophecie.
Vilevile juu ya watumishi wangu na watumishi wangu wa kike katika siku hizo, nitamwaga Roho wangu, nao watatabiri.
19 And I wil shew wonders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and the vapour of smoke.
Nitaonesha maajabu juu angani na ishara chini duniani, damu, moto, na mafusho ya moshi.
20 The Sunne shalbe turned into darkenesse, and the moone into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.
Na jua litabadilishwa kuwa giza na mwezi kuwa damu, kabla haijaja siku kuu na ya ajabu ya Bwana.
21 And it shalbe, that whosoeuer shall call on the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued.
itakuwa ya kwamba kila mmoja ambaye huliitia jina la Bwana ataokoka.'
22 Yee men of Israel, heare these woordes, JESUS of Nazareth, a man approued of God among you with great workes, and wonders, and signes, which God did by him in the middes of you, as yee your selues also knowe:
Watu wa Israeli, sikieni maneno haya: Yesu wa Nazareti, mwanadamu aliyethibitishwa na Mungu kwenu kwa matendo ya uweza na maajabu, na ishara ambazo Mungu kupitia Yeye katikati yenu, kama ninyi wenyewe mnavyojua-
23 Him, I say, being deliuered by the determinate counsell, and foreknowledge of God, after you had taken, with wicked handes you haue crucified and slaine.
Kwa sababu ya mpango uliokusudiwa tangu mwanzo, na maarifa ya Mungu, alitolewa, na ninyi, kwa mikono ya watu wahalifu, mlimsulibisha na kumuua,
24 Whome God hath raised vp, and loosed the sorrowes of death, because it was vnpossible that he should be holden of it.
ambaye Mungu alimwinua, akauondoa uchungu wa mauti kwake, kwasababu haikuwezekana kwake kumilikiwa na huo.
25 For Dauid sayeth concerning him, I beheld the Lord alwaies before me: for hee is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken.
Hivyo Daudi anasema kuhusu yeye, 'Nilimwona Bwana daima mbele ya uso wangu, yeye yuko mkono wangu wa kulia hivyo basi sitasogezwa.
26 Therefore did mine heart reioyce, and my tongue was glad, and moreouer also my flesh shall rest in hope,
Kwa hiyo moyo wangu ulikuwa na furaha na ulimi wangu ulifurahishwa. Pia mwili wangu utaishi katika ujasiri.
27 Because thou wilt not leaue my soule in graue, neither wilt suffer thine Holy one to see corruption. (Hadēs )
Hutaiacha nafsi yangu iende kuzimu, wala hutaruhusu Mtakatifu wako kuona uozo. (Hadēs )
28 Thou hast shewed me the waies of life, and shalt make me full of ioy with thy countenance.
Wewe umedhihirisha kwangu njia za uzima; utanifanya nijae furaha mbele ya uso wako.'
29 Men and brethren, I may boldly speake vnto you of the Patriarke Dauid, that hee is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with vs vnto this day.
Ndugu, ninaweza kuzungumza kwenu kwa ujasiri kuhusu baba yetu Daudi: yeye alikufa na akazikwa, na kaburi lake liko pamoja nasi hata hivi leo.
30 Therefore, seeing hee was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that of the fruite of his loynes hee woulde raise vp Christ concerning the flesh, to set him vpon his throne,
Hivyo, alikuwa nabii na alijua kuwa Mungu alishaapa kwa kiapo kwake, kwamba ataweka mmoja katika uzao wake kwenye kiti cha enzi.
31 Hee knowing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soule shoulde not bee left in graue, neither his flesh shoulde see corruption. (Hadēs )
Aliliona hili mapema, na akasema kuhusu ufufuo wa Kristo, 'wala alikuwa hakuachwa kuzimu, wala mwili wake haukuoza.' (Hadēs )
32 This Iesus hath God raised vp, whereof we all are witnesses.
Huyu Yesu - Mungu alimfufua, ambaye sisi wote ni mashahidi.
33 Since then that he by the right hande of God hath bene exalted, and hath receiued of his Father the promise of the holy Ghost, hee hath shed foorth this which yee nowe see and heare.
Kwa hiyo, akiwa ameinuliwa katika mkono wa kuume wa Mungu, na akiwa amepokea ahadi ya Roho Mtakatifu kutoka kwa Baba, yeye amemimina hii ahadi, ambaye ninyi mnaona na kusikia.
34 For Dauid is not ascended into heauen, but he sayth, The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hande,
Kwani Daudi hakupaa kwenda mbinguni, lakini anasema, 'BWANA alisema kwa Bwana wangu,
35 Vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
“keti mkono wangu wa kulia, mpaka nitakapowafanya adui zako kigoda kwa ajili ya miguu yako.
36 Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a suretie, that God hath made him both Lord, and Christ, this Iesus, I say, whome yee haue crucified.
Kwa hiyo nyumba yote ya Israeli na ijue kwa hakika kwamba Mungu amemfanya Yeye kuwa Bwana na Kristo, huyu Yesu ambaye mlimsulibisha.”
37 Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their heartes, and said vnto Peter and the other Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we doe?
Sasa waliposikia hivyo, wakachomwa katika mioyo yao, wakamwambia Petro na mitume wengine, “Ndugu, tufanyeje?”
38 Then Peter said vnto them, Amend your liues, and bee baptized euery one of you in the Name of Iesus Christ for the remission of sinnes: and ye shall receiue the gift of the holy Ghost.
Na Petro akawaambia, “Tubuni na Mbatizwe, kila mmoja wenu, katika jina la Yesu Kristo kwa ajili ya msamaha wa dhambi zenu, na mtapokea zawadi ya Roho Mtakatifu.
39 For the promise is made vnto you, and to your children, and to all that are a farre off, euen as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Kwani kwenu ni ahadi na kwa watoto wenu na kwa wale wote walioko mbali, watu wengi kwa kadri Bwana Mungu wetu atakavyowaita.”
40 And with many other words he besought and exhorted them, saying, Saue your selues from this froward generation.
Kwa maneno mengi alishuhudia na kuwasihi; alisema, “Jiokoeni mtoke katika kizazi hiki kiovu.”
41 Then they that gladly receiued his word, were baptized: and the same day there were added to the Church about three thousand soules.
Ndipo wakayapokea maneno yake na wakabatizwa, hapo wakaongezeka katika siku hiyo kama nafsi elfu tatu.
42 And they continued in the Apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and prayers.
Wakaendelea katika mafundisho ya mitume na ushirikiano, katika kuumega mkate na katika maombi.
43 And feare came vpon euery soule: and many wonders and signes were done by ye Apostles.
Hofu ikaja juu ya kila nafsi, na maajabu mengi na ishara zikafanyika kupitia mitume.
44 And all that beleeued, were in one place, and had all things common.
Wote walioamini walikuwa pamoja na kuwa na vitu vyao kwa pamoja,
45 And they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all me, as euery one had need.
na waliuza vitu na milki zao na kugawanya kwa wote kulingana na hitaji la kila mmoja.
46 And they continued dayly with one accord in the Temple, and breaking bread at home, did eate their meate together with gladnesse and singlenesse of heart,
Hivyo siku baada ya siku waliendelea wakiwa na lengo moja katika hekalu, na walimega mkate kwenye kaya, na walishiriki chakula kwa furaha na unyenyekevu wa moyo;
47 Praysing God, and had fauour with all the people: and the Lord added to the Church from day to day, such as should be saued.
walimsifu Mungu na wakiwa na kibali na watu wote. Bwana aliwaongeza siku kwa siku ambao walikuwa wakiokolewa.
