Acts 2
1 And on the day of Pentecost they were all together in one place.
Siku ya Pentekoste ilipofika, waumini wote walikuwa wamekusanyika pamoja.
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;
Ghafla, sauti ikasikika kutoka angani; sauti iliyokuwa kama ya upepo mkali, ikajaza ile nyumba yote walimokuwa wamekaa.
3 and there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributing themselves; and one sat upon each of them.
Kisha, vikatokea vitu vilivyoonekana kama ndimi za moto, vikagawanyika na kutua juu ya kila mmoja wao.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Wote wakajazwa Roho Mtakatifu, wakaanza kusema lugha mbalimbali kadiri Roho alivyowawezesha.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
Na huko Yerusalemu walikuwako Wayahudi, watu wamchao Mungu, waliotoka katika kila nchi duniani.
6 And when this sound took place, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every one heard them speaking in his own language.
Waliposikia sauti hiyo, kundi kubwa la watu lilikusanyika. Wote walishtuka sana kwani kila mmoja wao aliwasikia hao waumini wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe.
7 And they were amazed, and marveled, saying, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans?
Walistaajabu na kushangaa, wakisema, “Je, hawa wote tunaowasikia wakisema hivi, si wenyeji wa Galilaya?
8 and how is it that we every one hear them in our own language, wherein we were born?
Imekuwaje, basi, kwamba kila mmoja wetu anawasikia wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Baadhi yetu ni Waparthi, Wamedi na Waelami; wengine ni wenyeji wa Mesopotamia, Yudea, Kapadokia, Ponto na Asia,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and Romans who sojourn here, both Jews and Proselytes,
Frugia na Pamfulia, Misri na sehemu za Libya karibu na Kurene; wengine wetu ni wageni kutoka Roma,
11 Cretans and Arabians—how is it that we hear them speaking in our tongues the wonderful works of God?
Wayahudi na watu walioongokea dini ya Kiyahudi; wengine wametoka Krete na Arabia. Sisi sote tunasikia wakisema kwa lugha zetu wenyewe mambo makuu ya Mungu.”
12 And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What can this mean?
Wote walishangaa na kufadhaika huku wakiulizana, “Hii ina maana gani?”
13 Others making sport of it, said, They are full of new wine.
Lakini wengine wakawadhihaki wakisema, “Watu hawa wamelewa divai mpya!”
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.
Lakini Petro alisimama pamoja na wale kumi na mmoja akaanza kuwahutubia watu kwa sauti kubwa: “Ndugu Wayahudi nanyi nyote mnaokaa hapa Yerusalemu, sikilizeni kwa makini maneno yangu.
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; for it is the third hour of the day;
Watu hawa hawakulewa kama mnavyodhani; mbona ni saa tatu tu asubuhi?
16 but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel,
Ukweli ni kwamba jambo hili ni lile alilosema nabii Yoeli:
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;
Katika siku zile za mwisho, asema Bwana, nitawamiminia binadamu wote Roho wangu. Watoto wenu, wanaume kwa wanawake, watautangaza ujumbe wangu; vijana wenu wataona maono, na wazee wenu wataota ndoto.
18 and even on my servants, and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
Naam, hata watumishi wangu, wanaume kwa wanawake, nitawamiminia Roho wangu, siku zile, nao watautangaza ujumbe wangu.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
Nitatenda miujiza juu angani, na ishara chini duniani; kutakuwa na damu, moto na moshi mzito;
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.
jua litatiwa giza, na mwezi utakuwa mwekundu kama damu, kabla ya kutokea ile siku kuu na tukufu ya Bwana.
21 And it shall be that every one that calleth on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Hapo, yeyote atakayeomba kwa jina la Bwana, ataokolewa.
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, —
“Wananchi wa Israeli, sikilizeni maneno haya! Yesu wa Nazareti alikuwa mtu ambaye mamlaka yake ya kimungu yalithibitishwa kwenu kwa miujiza, maajabu na ishara Mungu alizofanya kati yenu kwa njia yake, kama mnavyojua.
23 this man, being delivered up by the settled purpose and foreknowledge of God, ye, by the hand of godless men, crucified and slew.
Kufuatana na mpango wake mwenyewe Mungu alikwisha amua kwamba Yesu angetiwa mikononi mwenu; nanyi mkamuua kwa kuwaachia watu wabaya wamsulubishe.
24 But God raised him up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
Lakini Mungu alimfufua kutoka wafu akamwokoa katika maumivu ya kifo kwa maana haingewezekana kabisa kifo kimfunge.
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.
Maana Daudi alisema juu yake hivi: Nilimwona Bwana mbele yangu daima; yuko nami upande wangu wa kulia, na hivyo sitatikisika.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue exulted; moreover also, my flesh shall dwell in hope;
Kwa hiyo, moyo wangu ulifurahi; tena nilipiga vigelegele vya furaha. Mwili wangu utakaa katika tumaini;
27 because thou wilt not abandon my soul to the underworld, nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
kwa kuwa hutaiacha roho yangu katika kuzimu, wala kumruhusu mtakatifu wako aoze. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance.”
Umenionyesha njia za kuufikia uzima, kuwako kwako kwanijaza furaha!
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.
“Ndugu zangu, napenda kuwaambieni waziwazi juu ya mambo yaliyompata Daudi, babu yetu. Yeye alikufa, akazikwa, tena kaburi lake liko papa hapa petu mpaka leo.
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,
Lakini kwa vile Daudi alikuwa nabii, alijua kuwa Mungu alimwapia kiapo kwamba atamtawaza mmoja wa uzawa wake kuwa mfalme mahali pake.
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)
Daudi aliona kabla mambo yatakayofanywa na Mungu na hivyo akasema juu ya ufufuo wa Kristo wakati aliposema: Hakuachwa kuzimu, mwili wake haukuoza. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Basi, Mungu alimfufua huyo Yesu na sisi sote ni mashahidi wa tukio hilo.
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.
Yesu aliinuliwa juu mpaka upande wa kulia wa Mungu, akapokea kutoka kwa Baba ile zawadi aliyoahidi yaani Roho Mtakatifu; na mnachoona sasa na kusikia ni mmiminiko wa huyo Roho.
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,
Maana Daudi mwenyewe, hakupanda mpaka mbinguni; ila yeye alisema: Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: Keti upande wangu wa kulia,
35 until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
hadi nitakapowafanya adui zako kibao cha kukanyagia miguu yako.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.
“Watu wote wa Israeli wanapaswa kufahamu kwa hakika kwamba huyo Yesu mliyemsulubisha ninyi, ndiye huyo ambaye Mungu amemfanya kuwa Bwana na Kristo.”
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?
Basi, watu waliposikia hayo, walichomwa moyo, wakawauliza Petro na wale mitume wenzake: “Ndugu zetu, tufanye nini?”
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.
Petro akajibu, “Tubuni na kila mmoja wenu abatizwe kwa jina la Yesu Kristo ili mpate kuondolewa dhambi zenu na kupokea ile zawadi ya Roho Mtakatifu.
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.
Maana, ahadi ile ilikuwa kwa ajili yenu, kwa ajili ya watoto wenu, kwa ajili ya wote wanaokaa mbali; na kwa ajili ya kila mtu ambaye Bwana Mungu wetu atamwita kwake.”
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
Kwa maneno mengine mengi, Petro alisisitiza na kuwahimiza watu akisema, “Jiokoeni katika kizazi hiki kiovu.”
41 They therefore received his word, and were baptized; and there were added on that day about three thousand souls.
Wengi waliyakubali maneno yake, wakabatizwa. Watu wapatao elfu tatu wakaongezeka katika kile kikundi siku hiyo.
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.
Hawa wote waliendelea kujifunza kutoka kwa mitume, kuishi pamoja kidugu, kumega mkate na kusali.
43 And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were wrought through the apostles.
Miujiza na maajabu mengi yalifanyika kwa njia ya mitume hata kila mtu akajawa na hofu.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Waumini wote waliendelea kuwa kitu kimoja na mali zao waligawana pamoja.
45 and they sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as any one had need.
Walikuwa wakiuza mali na vitu vyao kisha wakagawana fedha kadiri ya mahitaji ya kila mmoja.
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,
Waliendelea kukutana pamoja kila siku Hekaluni. Lakini wakati wa kumega mkate, walikutana katika nyumba zao na wakakishiriki chakula hicho kwa furaha na moyo mkunjufu.
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.
Walimtukuza Mungu, wakapendwa na watu wote. Kila siku Bwana aliwaongezea idadi ya watu waliokuwa wakiokolewa.
