Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Lwejire lwakinga olusiku lwa Pentekoste, bhona bhaliga bhali amwi orubhara lumwi.
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
Mbefura nisokerera echirumo okusoka mwiguru ko muyaga musito, ngwijusha inyumba yona omwo yaga bheyanjire.
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
Ao njibhasokerera jindimi, kuti ndimi jo muriro jitagene, njibha inguru yebhwe ku bhuli umwi webhwe.
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
Abhene bhona nibhejushwa no Mwoyo Mweru na mbamba okwaika kwa jinyaika jindi, lwa kutyo Omwoyo abhasakiye okwaika.
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
Mbe bhaga bhalio abhayaudi abho bhaga bhekaye Yerusalemu, musige Nyamuanga, okusoka bhuli amaanga emwaro ya liguru.
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
Obhuraka obhwo bhwejire bhwongwa, likofyanya lya bhanu ndija amwi na bhali no bhubha kwo kubha bhuli munu abhonguwe mbaroma kwa inyaika yaye omwene.
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
Bhasamire no kutang'ang'ara, abhene mbaika, “Chimali, bhanu bhona abharoma bhatali bhagalilaya?
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
Okubhaki eswe echibhongwa, bhuli umwi mu nyaika ejo chebhuwe najo?
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
Waparthia na Wamedi na Waelamu, nabho bhekaye Mesopotamia, Uyahudi, na Kapadokia, na Ponto na Asia,
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
Frigia, Pamfilia, Misiri, no rubhara lwa Libya nolo Kirene, na bhagenyi okusoka Rumi,
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
Abhayaudi na Bhaongofu, Wakrete na Waarabu, echibhongwa mbaroma mu nyaika jeswe inguru ye mirimu jo bhuturo bhwa Nyamuanga.”
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
Bhona bhaliga bhasamire na bhatasombokewe; bhaikene abhene kwa bhene, “Inu ina nsonga ki?”
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
Nawe abhandi nibhagaya mbaika, “Bhanu bhejusibhwe kwo bhwarwa bhuyaya.”
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
Nawe Petro nemereguru amwi na bhaliya ekumi na umwi, naika kwo bhuraka bhunene, nabhabhwira, “Abhanu bha Yuda na bhona abho mwikaye anu Yerusalemu, linu limenyekane kwemwe, mutegereshe nekeneke emisango jani.
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
Abhanu bhanu bhatatamirire lwa kutyo omwitogera, kwo kubha oryanu ni katondo sae satu.
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Nawe linu yaga ryaikirwe okurabha kwo muragi Yoeli:
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
Eibha kutyo mu nsiku jo bhutero; Nyamuanga kaika, enitira Omwoyo gwani ku bhanu bhona. Abhasigaji bhemwe na bhayarakaji bhemwe abhasosha obhunabii, abhana bhemwe abharora amaono, na bhakaruka bhemwe abharota ebhiroto.
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
Kutyo kutyo inguru ya bhakosi bhani na bhakosi bhani bhe chigasi mu nsiku ejo, enitira Omwoyo gwani, abhene abhatabiri.
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
Eneresha ebhikorwa inguru mu rwire ne bhibharikisho emwaro munsi, amanyinga, omuriro, na mafusho ga ingesi.
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
Na lisubha eliyindurwa okubha bhusute no kwesi okubha manyinga, ichali kuja olusiku orukuru no rwo kutangasha rwo Mukama.
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
Eibha ya kutya bhuli umwi oyo kabhirikira lisina ryo Mukama kaguruhurwa.'
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
Abhanu bha Israeli, mutegereshe emisango jinu: Yesu wa Nazareti, omunu oyo ekirisibhwe na Nyamuanga kwemwe kwe bhikorwa bhyo bhuturo ne bhiruguro, ne bhibharikisho, ebhyo Nyamuanga okuturira omwene agati yemwe, lwa kutyo emwe abhene mumenyere.
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
Ku njuno yo mupango ogwo gwaga gupangirwe okusoka kubhwambiro, no bhumenyi bhwa Nyamuanga, asosibhwe, nemwe, kwa mabhoko ga bhanu abhanyamuke, mumubhamba no kumwita,
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
oyo Nyamuanga amwimusishe, nabhusoshao obhusungu bhwo rufu ku mwene, kwo kubha itatulikene okubha norwo.
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
Kutyo Daudi kaika inguru yo mwene, 'Namulorere Omukama chimwi imbele yo bhusu bhwani, omwene ali mu kubhoko kwani kwo bhuryo mbe kutyo ntakwirisibhwa.
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
Kutyo omutima gwani gwaga guli no bhukondelerwa no rulimi rwani rwakonderesibhwe. No mubhili gwani ogwikara kutyo mu bhuigi.
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
Utakusiga omutima gwani gugende kujimu, norwo utakwikirisha omwalu wao alore obhubhole. (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
Awe unyoresishe jinjira jo bhuanga; ounkora nijule obhukondelerwa imbele yo bhusu bhwao.'
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
Bhaili, enitura okuroma kwemwe kwo bhuigi inguru ya lata weswe Daudi: omwene afuye na mbamusika, ne chituro chaye chili amwi neswe norwo lelo linu.
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
Kutyo, aliga ali omuragi na amenyere ati Nyamuanga alalaiye kwe chilairo chaye, ati katula oumwi ku rwibhuro rwaye ku chitebhe cho bhukama.
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
Alilorere linu kuchabhona, na naika inguru yo bhusuruko bhwa Masia, 'norwo atasigirwe kujimu, norwo omubhili gwaye gutabhorere.' (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
Yesu unu - Nyamuanga amwiruye, oyo eswe bhona chili bhabhambasi.
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
Ku rwejo, abheye emusibhwe inguru mu kubhoko kwo bhuryo kwa Nyamuanga, na alamiye iahadi yo Mwoyo Omweru okusoka kwa Latabhugenyi, omwene eturuye iahadi inu, oyo emwe omurora no kungwa.
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
Kwo kubha Daudi atagurukile okugenda mwiguru, nawe kaika, 'OMUKAMA naika ku Mukama wani,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
“iyanja mukubhoko kwani kwo bhuryo, mpaka ao nirabhakora abhabhibhi bhao kubhe singiro ku maguru gao.
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
Ku rwejo inyumba yona ya Israeli na imenye chimwi ati Nyamuanga amukorere omwene kubha Mukama na Kristo, Yesu unu oyo mwabhambile.”
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
Mbe bhejile bhongwa kutyo, mbasomwa emitima jebhwe, mbamubhwira Petro na jintumwa abhandi, “Bhaili, chikole kutiki?”
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
Na Petro nabhabhwira, “Muungame na mubhatijibhwe, bhuli umwi wemwe, mwi sina lya Yesu Kristo korereki musasilwe ebhiyeno bhyemwe, no mulamila izawadi yo Mwoyo Omweru.
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
Kwo kubha kwemwe ni ahadi na kubhana bhemwe na kwa bhona abho bhali arera, abhanu bhanfu lwa kutyo Omukama Nyamuanga weswe kabhabhirikila.”
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
Kwa magambo manfu abhabhwiliye no kubhakomelesha; aikile, “Mwijunile musoke mu rwibhulo lunu oruyaga.”
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
Nio mbaramila amagambo gaye mbabhatijibhwa, ao mbeyongesha ku lusiku orwo kuti bhanu bhiumbi bhisatu.
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
Mbagenderera mumeigisho ga jintumwa no bhumwi, mwirya lyo mukate na mu maombi.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Obhubha mbuja inguru ya bhuli munu, ne bhikorwa bhyanfu ne bhibharikisho mbikorwa okulabha ku ntumwa.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
Bhona abho bhekirisishe bhaliga bhali amwi no kubha ne bhinu bhyebhwe amwi,
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
na bhagusishe ebhinu na jinsambu jebhwe no kugabha ku bhona okwingana na lya bhuli umwi.
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
Kutyo olusiku kwo lusiku bhagendeleye bhali no bhulamusi bhumwi mwi hekalu, na mbarya omukate mu musi, na mbarya ebhiryo kwo kukondererwa no kwimamya mu mutima;
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
mbamusima Nyamuanga na bhali ne chibharikisho na abhanu bhona. Omukama abhongeshaga olusiku kwo lusiku kwabho bherurwaga.
