< Acts 2 >

1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Bho jhifikili ligono lya Pentekoste, bhoha bhajhele pamonga sehemu jhimonga.
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.
Ghafla bwatokili muungurumo kuhomela kumbinguni kama mp'ongo n'kali.
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.
Ukameme mu nyumba jhioha mwa bhatamili. Apo syabhatokili ndimi kama ndimi sya muoto sigabhwanyiki, sikajha panani pa bhene kwa khila mmonga.
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].
Bhene bhoha bhakamemesibhwa ni Roho mtakatifu na bhakayanda kujobha kwa lugha s'enge, kama vile Roho mtakatifu kya abhajalili kujobha.
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.
Henu, bhahele bhayahudi bhabatameghe Yerusalemu, Bhacha K'yara kuhoma kila taifa pasi pa mbingu.
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.
Ngurumo e'se bho sipelekibhu, likundi lya bhanu bhakahida pamonga ni bhakajha ni wasiwasi kwandabha khila munu abhapeliki bhilongela kwa kila munu ni lugha jha muene.
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].
Bhaduele ni kusyangasibhwa, bhene bhajobhili, “Kweli abha bhoha bhilongela bha Galilaya lepi mbona?
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]
Kwa ndaya kiki tete tukabhap'heleka, kila mmonga ku lugha sya tuhogoliki nasu?
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.
Bhapartia ni Bhamedi ni Bhaelamu, niabhu bhabitama Mesopotamia, Uyahudi, ni Kapodokia ni mu Ponto ni 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.
ku Frigia, Pamfilia, ku Misri ni sehemu jha Libya hata Kerene, nibhahesya kuh'omelaRumi,
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?”
Bhayahudi ni Bhaongofu Bhakrete ni Bhaarabu, tukabhap'eleka bhilongela kwa lugha sya tete kuhusu mbombo sya uweza bhwa K'yara.”
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?”
Bhoha bhaduele ni kutatanisibhwa; bhajobhesene bhene kwa bhene, “Ejhe ijhe ni maana gani?”
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!”
Lakini bhangi bhadhihakili bhakajobha, “Abha bhajasibhu kwa mvinyo mpya.”
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!
Lakini Petro akjhema pamonga ni bhala kumi na moja, akakwesya sauti, akajobha, “Bhanu bha Yudea na bhoha bha mwitema apa Yerusalemu, e'le limanyikanayi kwa muenga, mup'elekesiajhi kwa makini malobi gha nene.
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!
Bhanu abha bhagalilepi kama kya mwidhanila kwa ndabha henu lukhela saa tatu
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Lakini lyajhele limalikujobhibhwa kup'etela nabii 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].
Ibetakujha katika magono ghwa kumuishu, K'yara ijobha nibeta kujihitisya Roho bha jhoni kwa bhanu bhoha. Bhana bhinu ni bhali bhinu bhibeta kuhomesya unabii, Bhasoni golo bhibeta kulola maono, ni bhaseya bhinu bhibeta kulota ndoto.
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.
Felafela juu jha bhatumishi bhangu nibhatumishi bhangu bhadala katika magono aghu, nibeta kujhatisya Roho bha jhoni, na bhene bhibeta kutabiri.
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].
Nibeta kulasya maajabu kunani ni ishara pasi pa duniani, damu, muoto, ni mafusho gha liosi.
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].
Nilijobha libeta kubadilisibhwa kujha ngisi ni mwesi kujha damu, kabla jhakuhida ligono libhaha ni lya ajabu jha Bwana.
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].}’”
Ibeta kujha kila mmonga ambajhe akalikuta lihina lya Bwana ibeta kuokoka.
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].
Bhanu bha Israeli, mup'elekayi malobhi agha. Yesu gha Nazareti mwanadamu jha athibitishibhu ni K'yara kwa muenga kwa matendo gha uweza ni maajabu, ni ishara ambasyo K'yara kup'etela muene katikati jha muenga, kama mwejhomu kya mumanyili.
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.
Kwa ndabha jha mpango ambajho ghwa kusudidibhu kuh'omela kubhuandu. Ni maarifa gha K'yara abhosibhu, ni muenga, kwa mabhobho gha bhanu bhahalifu, mwan'sulubishji ni kun'koma,
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.”
ambajhe K'yara an'jhiuili, akaubhosya uchungu bhwa mauti kwa muene, kwa ndabha jhabhwesekene lepi kwa muene kumilikibhwa ni obhu.
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].
Hivyo Daudi ijobha kuhusu muene, nana bwene Bwana daima mbele jha mihu ghanghu, muene ajhele kibhoko kyangu kya kulia hivyo basi nibetalepi kuhegelesibhwa.
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]).
Kwa hiyo muoyo bhwa nene bhwa hobhwiki ni lumilu lwa nene ghwafurahishibhu. Pia mbele bhwangu wibeta kuishi mu bhujasiri.
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)
Wibetalepi kujhileka nafsi jha nene jhilotayi kuzimu, wala wibetalepi kuruhusu mtakatifu ghwa jhobhi kulola uozo. (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].”
Bhebhe udhihirishi kwa nene jhele jha uzima; wibeta kunibhomba nijhela ni furaha pamihu pa jhobhi.
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.
Ndongo, nibhwesya kulongela kwa muenga kwa bhujasiri kuhusu dadi hitu Daudi: muene lijhele pamonga natu hadi lelu.
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].)
Hivyo, ajhele nabii na amanyili kujha k'yara amalikupaa kwa kiapo kya muene, kwamba ibeta kubheka mmonga katika uzao bhwa muene pa kiti kya enzi.
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)
Alibhwene e'le manyata ni kujobha kuhusu ufufuo bhwa Kristu, wala alekibhulepi kuzimu, wala mbele ghwa muene ghwa bholi lepi. (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 Ojho - K'yara amfufuili ambajhe twebhoha mashahidi.
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.
Henu bho ajhinulibhu ku kibhoko kya kuume kya K'yara ni kupokela ahadi jha Roho mtakatifu kuh'omela kwa Dad, muene amimi ni ahadi ejhe, ambajhe muenga mwilola ni kup'eleka.
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,
Kwani Daudi apai lepi kulota kumbinguni, lakini ijobha, 'BWANA ajobhili kwa Bwana ghwa nene,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
“tamayi kibhoko kyangu kya kulia, mpaka panibeta kubhabhomba maadui bha jhobhi kigoda kwa ndabha jha magolo gha jhobhi.
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.”
Kwa hiyo nyumba jhioha jha Israeli na imananyayi kwa hakika kwamba K'yara ambombili muene kujha Bwana ni Kristu, Ojho Yesu ambajhe mwan'sulubisi.”
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]?”
Henu bho bhap'eliki nahu, bhahomibhu mu miteema gha bhene bhakan'jobhela Petro ni mitume bhangi, “Ndongo, tuketabhuli?
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.
Ni Petro atabhajobhela, “Mutubuayi na mubatisibhwayi, khila mmonga bhinu, kwa lihina lya Yesu Kristu kwa ndabha jha msamaha ghwa dhambi sya muenga na mwibeta kupokela zawadi jha Roho mtakatifu.
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]!”
kwani kwa jhomo ndo ahadi ni kwa bhana bhinu ni kwa bhala bhoha bhabhahe kutali, bhanu bhingi na kwa kadri Bwana K'yara ghwelu pa ibeta kubhakuta.”
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 malobhi mingi ashuhudili ni kubhasihi ajobhili, “mwikiokolayi mbokayi mukizazi e'le kiovu.”
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.
(ndipo bhakaghepokela malobhi gha muene ni kubatisibhwa, hapo bhakajhongeseka mu ligono e'le kama nafsi elfu tatu.
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].
Bhakayendelela ni mafundisu gha mitume ni ushirikiano, katika kuumetula n'kate ni 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.
Hofu ikahida juu jha khila nafsi ni maajabu ghamehele ni ishara sikabhombibhwa kup'etela mitume.
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.
bhohe bhabhakyeri'ri pamonga ni kujha ni fenu fya bhene kwa pamonga,
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 bhahemelisi fenu ni miliki sya bhene ni kugabhwanya kwa bhoha kul'engana ni hitaji lya khila mmonga.
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.
Hivyo ligono baada jha ligono bhajhendilili bhakajha ni lengo limonga mu hekalu, na bhametuili n'kate mu kaya, na bhashirki kya kulya kwa furaha ni unyenyekevu bhwa miteema.
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].
Bhan'sifili K'yara na bhajhele ni kibali ni bhanu bhoha. Bwana abhajhongisi ligono kwa ligono ambabho bhajhele bhiokoliwa.
