Acts 2
1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
Ilipofika siku ya Pentekoste, wote walikuwa pamoja sehemu moja.
2 Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Ghafla ikatokea muungurumo kutoka mbinguni kama upepo mkali. ukaijaza nyumba yote walimokuwa wameketi.
3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
Hapo zikawatokea ndimi, kama ndimi za moto zimegawanyika, zikawa juu yao kila mmoja wao.
4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak out.
Wao wote wakajazwa na Roho Mtakatifu na wakaanza kusema kwa lugha zingine, kama vile Roho alivyowajalia kusema.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout people from every nation under the sky.
Sasa walikuwapo wayahudi waliokuwa wanaishi Yerusalemu, wacha Mungu, kutoka kila taifa chini ya mbingu.
6 When this sound was heard, the crowd came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
Ngurumo hizi ziliposikiwa, kundi la watu likaja pamoja na wakiwa na wasiwasi kwa sababu kila mtu aliwasikia wakiongea kwa lugha yake mwenyewe.
7 They were all amazed and marveled, saying, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
waliduwaa na kushangazwa, wao walisema, “Kweli, hawa wote wanaoongea siyo Wagalilaya?
8 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
Kwa nini sisi tunawasikia, kila mmoja katika lugha tulizozaliwa nazo?
9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
Waparthia na Wamedi na Waelamu, na hao waishio Mesopotamia, Uyahudi, na Kapadokia, na katika Ponto na Asia,
10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
katika Frigia, Pamfilia, katika Misri, na sehemu ya Libya hata Kirene, na wageni kutoka Rumi,
11 Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God."
Wayahudi na waongofu, Wakrete na Waarabu, tunawasikia wakizungumza katika lugha zetu kuhusu kazi za uweza wa Mungu.”
12 They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, "What does this mean?"
Wote walikuwa wameduwaa na kutatanishwa; walisemezana wao kwa wao, “Hii ina maana gani?”
13 Others, mocking, said, "They are filled with new wine."
Lakini wengine walidhihaki wakisema, “Hawa wamejazwa kwa mvinyo mpya.”
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, "You men of Judea, and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
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 drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is only nine in the morning.
Watu hawa hawajalewa kama mnavyodhani, sababu saa hizi ni asubuhi saa tatu.
16 But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
Lakini hili lilikuwa limesemwa kupitia kwa nabii Yoeli:
17 'And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
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 even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
Vilevile juu ya watumishi wangu na watumishi wangu wa kike katika siku hizo, nitamwaga Roho wangu, nao watatabiri.
19 And I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
Nitaonesha maajabu juu angani na ishara chini duniani, damu, moto, na mafusho ya moshi.
20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
Na jua litabadilishwa kuwa giza na mwezi kuwa damu, kabla haijaja siku kuu na ya ajabu ya Bwana.
21 And it will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'
itakuwa ya kwamba kila mmoja ambaye huliitia jina la Bwana ataokoka.'
22 "Men of Israel, hear these words. Jesus the Nazorean, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,
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, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
Kwa sababu ya mpango uliokusudiwa tangu mwanzo, na maarifa ya Mungu, alitolewa, na ninyi, kwa mikono ya watu wahalifu, mlimsulibisha na kumuua,
24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
ambaye Mungu alimwinua, akauondoa uchungu wa mauti kwake, kwasababu haikuwezekana kwake kumilikiwa na huo.
25 For David says concerning him, 'I saw the Lord always before me, for he 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 my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced, and moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;
Kwa hiyo moyo wangu ulikuwa na furaha na ulimi wangu ulifurahishwa. Pia mwili wangu utaishi katika ujasiri.
27 because you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
Hutaiacha nafsi yangu iende kuzimu, wala hutaruhusu Mtakatifu wako kuona uozo. (Hadēs g86)
28 You made known to me the paths of life. You will make me full of joy in your presence.'
Wewe umedhihirisha kwangu njia za uzima; utanifanya nijae furaha mbele ya uso wako.'
29 "Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to 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, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that one of his descendants would sit on his throne,
Hivyo, alikuwa nabii na alijua kuwa Mungu alishaapa kwa kiapo kwake, kwamba ataweka mmoja katika uzao wake kwenye kiti cha enzi.
31 he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left in Sheol, nor did his flesh see decay. (Hadēs g86)
Aliliona hili mapema, na akasema kuhusu ufufuo wa Kristo, 'wala alikuwa hakuachwa kuzimu, wala mwili wake haukuoza.' (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
Huyu Yesu - Mungu alimfufua, ambaye sisi wote ni mashahidi.
33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you see and hear.
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 David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit by my right hand,
Kwani Daudi hakupaa kwenda mbinguni, lakini anasema, 'BWANA alisema kwa Bwana wangu,
35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."'
“keti mkono wangu wa kulia, mpaka nitakapowafanya adui zako kigoda kwa ajili ya miguu yako.
36 "Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you 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 this, they were acutely distressed, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what should we do?"
Sasa waliposikia hivyo, wakachomwa katika mioyo yao, wakamwambia Petro na mitume wengine, “Ndugu, tufanyeje?”
38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
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 to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself."
Kwani kwenu ni ahadi na kwa watoto wenu na kwa wale wote walioko mbali, watu wengi kwa kadri Bwana Mungu wetu atakavyowaita.”
40 With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation."
Kwa maneno mengi alishuhudia na kuwasihi; alisema, “Jiokoeni mtoke katika kizazi hiki kiovu.”
41 Then those who received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
Ndipo wakayapokea maneno yake na wakabatizwa, hapo wakaongezeka katika siku hiyo kama nafsi elfu tatu.
42 They continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
Wakaendelea katika mafundisho ya mitume na ushirikiano, katika kuumega mkate na katika maombi.
43 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
Hofu ikaja juu ya kila nafsi, na maajabu mengi na ishara zikafanyika kupitia mitume.
44 All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
Wote walioamini walikuwa pamoja na kuwa na vitu vyao kwa pamoja,
45 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
na waliuza vitu na milki zao na kugawanya kwa wote kulingana na hitaji la kila mmoja.
46 Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness 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 praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
walimsifu Mungu na wakiwa na kibali na watu wote. Bwana aliwaongeza siku kwa siku ambao walikuwa wakiokolewa.
