Acts 3
1 Nowe Peter and Iohn went vp together into the Temple, at the ninth houre of prayer.
Siku moja, saa tisa alasiri, Petro na Yohane walikuwa wanakwenda Hekaluni, wakati wa sala.
2 And a certaine man which was a creeple from his mothers wombe, was caried, whom they layde dayly at the gate of the Temple called Beautifull, to aske almes of them that entred into ye Temple.
Na pale karibu na mlango wa Hekalu uitwao “Mlango Mzuri”, palikuwa na mtu mmoja, kiwete tangu kuzaliwa. Watu walimbeba huyo mtu kila siku na kumweka hapo ili aombe chochote kwa wale waliokuwa wakiingia Hekaluni.
3 Who seeing Peter and Iohn, that they would enter into the Temple, desired to receiue an almes.
Alipowaona Petro na Yohane wakiingia Hekaluni, aliwaomba wampe chochote.
4 And Peter earnestly beholding him with Iohn, said, Looke on vs.
Petro na Yohane walimkodolea macho, naye Petro akamwambia, “Tutazame!”
5 And hee gaue heede vnto them, trusting to receiue some thing of them.
Naye akawageukia, akitazamia kupata kitu kutoka kwao.
6 Then said Peter, Siluer and gold haue I none, but such as I haue, that giue I thee: In the Name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth, rise vp and walke.
Kisha Petro akamwambia, “Sina fedha wala dhahabu lakini kile nilicho nacho nitakupa. Kwa jina la Yesu Kristo wa Nazareti, tembea!”
7 And hee tooke him by the right hand, and lift him vp, and immediately his feete and ankle bones receiued strength.
Halafu, akamshika mkono wa kulia, akamwinua. Papo hapo miguu na magoti yake yakapata nguvu.
8 And he leaped vp, stoode, and walked, and entred with them into the Temple, walking and leaping, and praysing God.
Akaruka, akasimama na kuanza kutembea. Halafu akaingia pamoja nao Hekaluni, akitembea na kurukaruka huku akimtukuza Mungu.
9 And all the people sawe him walke, and praysing God.
Watu wote waliokuwa hapo walimwona akitembea na kumsifu Mungu.
10 And they knewe him, that it was he which sate for the almes at the Beautifull gate of the Temple: and they were amased, and sore astonied at that, which was come vnto him.
Walipomtambua kuwa ndiye yule aliyekuwa anaombaomba karibu na ule “Mlango Mzuri” wa Hekalu, wakashangaa mno hata wasiweze kuelewa yaliyompata.
11 And as the creeple which was healed, held Peter and Iohn, all the people ranne amased vnto them in the porch which is called Salomons.
Watu wote, wakiwa na mshangao mkubwa wakaanza kukimbilia mahali palipoitwa “Ukumbi wa Solomoni,” ambapo yule mtu alikuwa bado anaandamana na Petro na Yohane.
12 So when Peter saw it, he answered vnto the people, Ye me of Israel, why marueile ye at this? or why looke ye so stedfastly on vs, as though by our owne power or godlines, we had made this man go?
Basi, Petro alipowaona watu hao akawaambia, “Wananchi wa Israeli, kwa nini mnashangazwa na jambo hili? Mbona mnatukodolea macho kana kwamba ni kwa nguvu zetu au utakatifu wetu sisi wenyewe tumemfanya mtu huyu aweze kutembea?
13 The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Iacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his Sonne Iesus, whom ye betrayed, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had iudged him to be deliuered.
Mungu wa Abrahamu, Isaka na Yakobo, Mungu wa baba zetu amemtukuza Yesu mtumishi wake. Yeye ndiye yuleyule mliyemtia mikononi mwa wakuu na kumkataa mbele ya Pilato hata baada ya Pilato kuamua kumwacha huru.
14 But ye denied the Holy one and the Iust, and desired a murtherer to be giuen you,
Alikuwa mtakatifu na mwema; lakini ninyi mlimkataa, mkataka mtu mwingine aliyekuwa muuaji afunguliwe.
15 And killed the Lord of life, whome God hath raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.
Basi, mlimuua yule ambaye ni chanzo cha uzima. Lakini Mungu alimfufua, na sisi ni mashahidi wa tukio hilo.
16 And his Name hath made this man sound, whom ye see, and know, through faith in his Name: and the faith which is by him, hath giuen to him this perfite health of his whole body in the presence of you all.
Jina la Yesu na imani katika jina hilo ndivyo vilivyompa nguvu mtu huyu mnayemwona na kumfahamu. Imani kwa Yesu ndiyo iliyomponya kabisa mtu huyu kama mnavyoona nyote.
17 And now brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your gouernours.
“Sasa ndugu zangu, nafahamu kwamba ninyi na wakuu wenu mlitenda hayo kwa sababu ya kutojua kwenu.
18 But those thinges which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his Prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath thus fulfilled.
Lakini ndivyo Mungu alivyotimiza yale aliyotangaza zamani kwa njia ya manabii wote, kwamba ilikuwa lazima Kristo wake ateseke.
19 Amend your liues therefore, and turne, that your sinnes may be put away, whe the time of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Basi, tubuni mkamrudie Mungu ili afute dhambi zenu.
20 And he shall sende Iesus Christ, which before was preached vnto you,
Fanyeni hivyo ili Bwana awape nyakati za kuburudika rohoni na kuwaletea yule Kristo aliyemteua ambaye ndiye Yesu.
21 Whome the heauen must containe vntill the time that all thinges be restored, which God had spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world began. (aiōn g165)
Ni lazima yeye abaki huko mbinguni mpaka utakapofika wakati wa kurekebishwa vitu vyote, kama Mungu alivyosema kwa njia ya manabii wake watakatifu wa tangu zamani. (aiōn g165)
22 For Moses said vnto the Fathers, The Lord your God shall raise vp vnto you a Prophet, euen of your brethren, like vnto me: ye shall heare him in all things, whatsoeuer he shall say vnto you.
Kwa maana Mose alisema, Bwana Mungu wenu atawapelekeeni nabii kama mimi kutoka kati yenu ninyi wenyewe.
23 For it shalbe that euery person which shall not heare that Prophet, shall be destroyed out of the people.
Yeyote yule ambaye hatamsikiliza nabii huyo atatengwa mbali na watu wa Mungu na kuangamizwa.
24 Also all the Prophets from Samuel, and thencefoorth as many as haue spoken, haue likewise foretolde of these dayes.
Manabii wote, kuanzia Samweli na wale waliomfuata, walitangaza habari za mambo haya ambayo yamekuwa yakitendeka siku hizi.
25 Ye are the children of the Prophets, and of the couenant, which God hath made vnto our fathers, saying to Abraham, Euen in thy seede shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Ahadi zile Mungu alizotoa kwa njia ya manabii ni kwa ajili yenu; na mnashiriki lile agano Mungu alilofanya na babu zenu, kama alivyomwambia Abrahamu: Kwa njia ya wazawa wako, jamaa zote za dunia zitabarikiwa.
26 First vnto you hath God raysed vp his Sonne Iesus, and him hee hath sent to blesse you, in turning euery one of you from your iniquities.
Basi, ilikuwa kwa ajili yenu kwanza kwamba Mungu alimfufua mtumishi wake, alimtuma awabariki kwa kumfanya kila mmoja wenu aachane kabisa na maovu yake.”
