< Acts 2 >

1 And on the day of Pentecost they were all together in one place.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũthenya wa Bendegothito wakinyire-rĩ, acio othe magĩkorwo maarĩ handũ hamwe.
2 And suddenly there came out of heaven a sound, as of a rushing mighty wind; and it filled the whole house where they were sitting;
Na o rĩmwe mũgambo ta wa rũhuho rũnene rũkũhurutana na hinya ũgĩũka kuuma igũrũ, ũkĩiyũra nyũmba yothe ĩrĩa maaikarĩte.
3 and there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributing themselves; and one sat upon each of them.
Makĩona kĩndũ gĩatariĩ ta nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki iria ciagayũkanĩte igĩikara igũrũ rĩa mũndũ o mũndũ.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Othe makĩiyũrio Roho Mũtheru na makĩambĩrĩria kwaria na thiomi ingĩ o ta ũrĩa Roho aamahotithirie.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
Na rĩrĩ, kũu Jerusalemu nĩ gwaikaraga Ayahudi etigĩri Ngai kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ.
6 And when this sound took place, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every one heard them speaking in his own language.
Rĩrĩa maiguire mũgambo ũcio, gĩkundi kĩa andũ gĩgĩcookanĩrĩra kĩgegete, tondũ o mũndũ aamaiguaga makĩaria na rũthiomi rwake kĩũmbe.
7 And they were amazed, and marveled, saying, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans?
Nao makĩgega mũno, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Githĩ andũ aya othe maraaria ti andũ a Galili?
8 and how is it that we every one hear them in our own language, wherein we were born?
Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mũndũ o mũndũ witũ amaigue makĩaria na rũthiomi rwa kũrĩa aaciarĩirwo?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Andũ a Parithi, na a Media, na a Elamu; o na andũ arĩa matũũraga Mesopotamia, na Judea, na Kapadokia, na Ponto, na Asia,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and Romans who sojourn here, both Jews and Proselytes,
na Firigia, na Pamufilia, na Misiri, na mĩena ya Libia ĩrĩa ĩrĩ gũkuhĩ na Kurene, na ageni a kuuma Roma,
11 Cretans and Arabians—how is it that we hear them speaking in our tongues the wonderful works of God?
(Ayahudi hamwe na andũ arĩa meegarũrĩte magatuĩka Ayahudi); na andũ a Kirete, na a Arabia, tũramaigua makĩaria na thiomi ciitũ ũhoro wa magegania ma Ngai!”
12 And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What can this mean?
Mamakĩte na makagega makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩ kuuga atĩa?”
13 Others making sport of it, said, They are full of new wine.
Amwe ao, o na kũrĩ ũguo, nĩmamathirĩkirie, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩkũrĩĩo marĩĩtwo nĩ ndibei.”
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Men of Judea, and all that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Petero akĩrũgama hamwe na arĩa ikũmi na ũmwe, akĩanĩrĩra na akĩarĩria gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ andũ aitũ Ayahudi o na inyuĩ inyuothe mũtũũraga Jerusalemu, rekei ndĩmũtaarĩrie ũhoro ũyũ; thikĩrĩriai wega ũrĩa nguuga.
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; for it is the third hour of the day;
Andũ aya ti arĩĩu, ta ũrĩa mũreciiria. Rĩu nĩ thaa ithatũ tu cia rũciinĩ!
16 but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel,
Aca gũtitariĩ ta ũguo, ũhoro ũyũ nĩguo warĩtio nĩ mũnabii Joeli, akiuga atĩrĩ:
17 “It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams;
“‘Ngai ekuuga atĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ ma kũrigĩrĩria nĩngaitĩrĩria andũ othe Roho wakwa. Ariũ na aarĩ anyu nĩmakarathaga mohoro, Aanake anyu nĩmakonaga cioneki, nao athuuri anyu marootage irooto.
18 and even on my servants, and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
O na ningĩ nĩngaitĩrĩria ndungata ciakwa cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja Roho wakwa matukũ-inĩ macio, nacio nĩikarathaga mohoro.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
Nĩngonania morirũ kũu igũrũ matu-inĩ, na nyonanie ciama gũkũ thĩ, cia thakame, na cia mwaki, na cia ndogo ĩkwambata.
20 the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the day of the Lord cometh, the great and notable day.
Riũa nĩrĩkagarũrwo rĩtuĩke nduma, naguo mweri ũtuĩke ta thakame, mbere ya mũthenya ũcio mũnene wa Mwathani ũrĩa ũrĩ riiri gũkinya.
21 And it shall be that every one that calleth on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Na nĩgũgakinya atĩrĩ, atĩ mũndũ wothe ũgaakaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani nĩakahonokio.’
22 Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God to you by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God wrought by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know, —
“Inyuĩ andũ aya a Isiraeli, thikĩrĩriai ũhoro ũyũ: Jesũ wa Nazarethi aarĩ mũndũ waheanĩtwo nĩ Ngai kũrĩ inyuĩ na ũndũ wa ciama, na morirũ, na cionereria, iria Ngai aaringire gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu agereire harĩ we, o ta ũrĩa inyuĩ ene mũũĩ.
23 this man, being delivered up by the settled purpose and foreknowledge of God, ye, by the hand of godless men, crucified and slew.
Mũndũ ũyũ aaneanirwo moko-inĩ manyu, kũringana na ũrĩa Ngai aatuĩte na ũrĩa aamenyete o mbere; na inyuĩ, mũteithĩrĩirio nĩ andũ arĩa aaganu, mũkĩmũũraga na njĩra ya kũmwambithia mũtharaba-inĩ.
24 But God raised him up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
No Ngai akĩmũriũkia kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, akĩmuohora ruo-inĩ rwa gĩkuũ, tondũ gũtingĩahotekire atũũre anyiitĩtwo nĩkĩo.
25 For David saith concerning him, “I saw the Lord always before me; because he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
Tondũ Daudi oigire atĩrĩ ũhoro wake: “‘Nĩndonaga Mwathani arĩ mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe. Tondũ arĩ guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo-rĩ, ndingĩenyenyeka.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue exulted; moreover also, my flesh shall dwell in hope;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro yakwa nĩnjanjamũku, naruo rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũgakena; o naguo mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩũgũtũũra ũrĩ na mwĩhoko,
27 because thou wilt not abandon my soul to the underworld, nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
tondũ ndũkandiganĩria mbĩrĩra-inĩ, o na kana ũreke ũrĩa waku Mũtheru abuthe. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance.”
Nĩũũmenyithĩtie njĩra cia muoyo; nĩũkanjiyũria gĩkeno ndĩ harĩa ũrĩ.’
29 Brethren, I may speak to you with freedom of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us to this day.
“Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, no ndĩmwĩre ndĩ na ũũmĩrĩru atĩ ithe witũ Daudi nĩakuire na agĩthikwo, na mbĩrĩra yake ĩrĩ o gũkũ nginya ũmũthĩ ũyũ.
30 Being then a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath that he would set one sprung from his loins upon his throne,
Nowe aarĩ mũnabii na nĩamenyete atĩ Ngai nĩamwĩrire na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩagaikarĩria ũmwe wa rũciaro rwake gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
31 he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that neither was he abandoned to the underworld, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
Nĩ ũndũ nĩamenyete ũhoro ũcio mbere, nĩaririe ũhoro wa kũriũka gwa Kristũ, atĩ ndaatiganĩirio mbĩrĩra-inĩ, o na kana mwĩrĩ wake ũkĩbutha. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Ngai nĩariũkĩtie Jesũ ũcio, na ithuĩ ithuothe tũrĩ aira a ũhoro ũcio.
33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye both see and hear.
Kuona atĩ nĩatũũgĩrĩtio guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ngai, na nĩamũkĩrire kĩĩranĩro kĩa Roho Mũtheru kuuma kũrĩ Ithe, nake nĩatũitĩrĩirie Roho ta ũrĩa mũrona rĩu na mũkaigua.
34 For David did not ascend into the heavens; but he himself saith, The Lord said to my lord, “Sit thou on my right hand,
Nĩgũkorwo Daudi ndaambatire agĩthiĩ igũrũ, no nĩoigire atĩrĩ, “‘Mwathani nĩeerire Mwathani wakwa atĩrĩ: “Ikara guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo,
35 until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
o nginya rĩrĩa ngaatua thũ ciaku gaturwa ka makinya maku.”’
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe a Isiraeli nĩmamenye atĩrĩ: Ngai nĩ atuĩte Jesũ, o ũcio mwambire, Mwathani na Kristũ.”
37 And when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what must we do?
Rĩrĩa andũ maiguire ũhoro ũcio, ũkĩmatheeca ngoro, makĩũria Petero na atũmwo acio angĩ atĩrĩ, “Ariũ a Baba, twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa?”
38 But Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized to the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Nake Petero akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwĩrirei na mũbatithio mũndũ o mũndũ thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ Kristũ, nĩguo mũrekerwo mehia manyu. Na inyuĩ nĩ mũkwamũkĩra kĩheo kĩa Roho Mũtheru.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Kĩĩranĩro gĩkĩ nĩ kĩanyu na ciana cianyu, na andũ arĩa othe marĩ kũraya, na andũ arĩa othe Mwathani Ngai witũ ageeta moke harĩ we.”
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
Akĩmataara na ciugo ingĩ nyingĩ, akĩmakaanagia; na akĩmathaitha, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhonokiei kuuma kũrĩ rũciaro rũrũ ruogomu.”
41 They therefore received his word, and were baptized; and there were added on that day about three thousand souls.
Andũ arĩa meetĩkĩrire ndũmĩrĩri yake makĩbatithio, na mũthenya ũcio makĩongerereka andũ ta ngiri ithatũ.
42 And they were constantly attending on the teaching of the apostles, and the imparting [[of their substance]], the breaking of bread, and the prayers.
Nao nĩmerutĩire kũgwatĩria ũrutani wa atũmwo, na ngwatanĩro-inĩ, na ũhoro-inĩ wa kwenyũrana mũgate, na kũhooya.
43 And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were wrought through the apostles.
Andũ othe makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya, nao atũmwo magĩĩka morirũ maingĩ, na makĩringa ciama.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Andũ arĩa othe meetĩkĩtie maarĩ hamwe, na nĩmagwatanagĩra indo ciothe.
45 and they sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as any one had need.
Makĩendia ithaka ciao na indo ciao, makaheaga mũndũ o wothe kũringana na bata wake.
46 And attending daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread in a private house, they partook of their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
O mũthenya nĩmagomanaga hekarũ-inĩ. Nĩmenyũraga mũgate marĩ mĩciĩ-inĩ yao, na makarĩĩanĩra marĩ na gĩkeno, na marĩ na ngoro theru,
47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were in the way of salvation.
makagoocaga Ngai, na magetĩkĩrĩka kũrĩ andũ othe. Nake Mwathani nĩongagĩrĩra thiritũ-inĩ yao andũ arĩa maahonokaga o mũthenya.
