Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Nalyahafiha isiku elye Pentekoste, bhonti bhabhongene pandwemo.
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.
Gwahabhafumila ungulumo afume humwanya neshi ugwihala ehali. Gwamema munyumba yonti mwabhakheye.
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.
Zyahabhafumila emele neshi, zigabhanyishe nabhe pamwanya ya shila muntu (pitwe).
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].
Bhonti bhapata Umpepo Ufinjile bhahanda ayanje enjango ezyenje neshi Umpepo shasungwilwe umwene.
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.
Bhahali ayahudi bhabhakhalaga mu Yelusalemu bhabhaputaga bhabhafuma shila nsi pansi.
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.
Ungulumo gula nabhahunvwa abhantu bhahabhungana ahwenze atejelezye bhahabha ne wasiwasi shila muntu ahumnwizye bhayanga hunjango yakwe yuyo.
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].
bhonti bhahaswiga bhahaga ebha bhonti se bha hu Galilaya bhabha yanga epa?
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]
Yeenu ate tibhumvwa hunjango yetu yatapipwe nayo?
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 Waamedi na Waelamu, nebho bhabhakhala hu Mesopotamia, no Uyahudi, na Kapadokia, no hu Ponto nu hu 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.
hu Frigia, Pamfilia, no hu Misri, na hula hu Libya paka hu Kirene, na bhajenu bhonti bhabhafumile hu 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?”
Ayahudi na bhaongofu, Abhakrete bhonti tubhomvwa nazyo bhatambula embombo engosi Ungulubhi zyabhomba.”
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?”
Bhonti bhaswiga sebhahazyaganya mwitwe; hahanda abhuzanye bhene, “Eshi hwa huje yeenu?”
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!”
Lelo bhamo bhahatanila bhahaga, “Ebha bhakholilwe.”
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!
Lelo uPetro ahimilila pandwemo na bhala ilongo na woka nabhabhule huje mwe mubhantu mwenti mwa mukhala hu Yudea namwe mwenti mwamukhala epa pa Yerusalemu, muntejelezye enongwa zyane muzizingatizye humoyo genyu.
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!
Abhantu ebha sebhakholilwe neshi shamuibha, esala ezi saa tatu zyashampwiti.
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Lelo mumanye huje ezi zyazila zyazyayangwilwe no ukuwe uYoeli;
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].
Zyaibha ensiku ezya humalishilo; ayanga Ungulubhi, naibhitila Umpepo Ufinjile abhantu bhonti. Abhana bhenyu asahala na lendu bhaikuwa, abhana bhenyu bhailola embonesyo, na gogolo bhailota enjozi.
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.
Nantele abhomba mbombo bhane abhashe ehaibhitila Umpepo wane bhope bhaikuwa.
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].
Naibhalanga enswijizyo humwanya ne mbonesyo pansi pa dunia, idanda, umwoto, na tukusye elyosi.
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].
Ni sanya lyaigaluha hisi no mwezi abhe lidanda, salisele ahwinze isiku Igosi lya Ngulubhi.
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].}’”
ehaibha shila muntu yailikwizya itawa la Ngulubhi ayokoha.'
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].
Mubhantu mubhi Israeli, umvwi enongwa ezi: U Yesu wa hu Nazareti, Ungulubhi yabhasaluliye na hulete hulimwe ne mbombo engosi Ungulubhi zyabhombile ashilile hwa mwene, namwe mwazilolile namwe muzimenye zyonti zyabhombile-
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.
Lelo hunongwa ya mapango gakwe gapanjile afume hale nenjele zyakwe Ungulubhi, aje aihufumya humakhono ga bhantu aabhibhi ananzi, namwe mwahabuda,
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.”
Ungulubhi umwene ahazyusya ahayefwa enfwa muhati yakwe kwa sababu seyaweze hene aje enfwa etabhaale.
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].
U Daudi ayanjile ajile, 'Nahalolile Ugosi wane hwitagalila lyane, umwene ali hukhono gwane ulilo sembahwogope.
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]).
Umwoyo gwane gwahasungwa nu mele gwane gwasungwilwe. Gwope ubili gwane gwaikhala ni khone.
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)
Subhaguleshe umwoyo gwane gubhale hwazimu, nantele subhahuleshe ubhomba mbombo waho alole uvunzu. (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 umbunisizye idala elye womi; ubhandeshe ememe uluseshelo humaso gaho.'
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.
Bhaholo, bhane enjanje ezya ise wetu u Daudi: umwene afwiye asyelelwe nenkungwa yakwe ehweli hulite mpaka asanyunu eshi.
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].)
Umwene ali kuwe na amenye huje Ungulubhi alapile hundapo zyakwe huje ahaihubhiha umo umwana wakwe hwitengo lyakwe elye umwene.
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)
Eli alilolile shansele, nantele ayanjile huje aizyuha uYesu Kilisiti, 'sigalehwilwe hwazimu nu bili gwakwe sigagwavundile.' (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.
Unu uYesu - Ungulubhi azyusizye, nate tili bhaketi bhakwe.
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.
Eshi uYesu ali hukhono ulilo ugwa Ngulubhi, nantele ayejeleye ulaganyo ulwa Umpepo Ufinjile afume hwa Yise wakwe, asuhinye ululagano olu hulite neshi shamulola na hwumvwe.
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,
Umwene uDaudi sigalushile abhale humwanya, lelo ajile, 'OGOSI (Ungulubhi) wane ayanjile hwa Gosi wane,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
“khala hukhono gwane ulilo, mpaka nehaibhabheha elyakhalile na khanyena manama gaho.
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.”
Aisraeli bhonti bhamanye huje uYesu unu yabhabudile Ungulubhi abhishile aje abhe Gosi ashile Agosi bhonti abhamunsi.”
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]?”
Nabhumvwa isho enongwa zyabhalasa humwoyo gabho, bhabhabhuzya aPetro na bhamwabho tikhonzye wili eshi?”
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.
U Petro waga, “Mulambe mwoziwe, shila muntu hwitawa lya Yesu Kristi muposhele ulusajilo ulwe mbibhi zyenyu, namwe mubhaposhe Umpepo Ufinjile.
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]!”
Olu olulagano lwenyu na bhana bhenyu na bhantu bhabhali uhutali na bhaala bhonti bhabhaikwiziwa nu Ngulubhi aje bhinze.”
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]!”
Hunongwa ezya mwabho ajile hwi ponii na bhantu bhensiku ezi abhe mbibhi.”
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.
Abhantu bhazyeteha enongwa zila bhoziwa abhantu elfu zitatu ikanisa lyahonjelela.
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].
Bhahendelela adiile mumanyizyo zya atumwe bha Yesu bhali nu umoja, bhalyanga pandwimo na puute pandwimo.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Uwoga wahabhinjila abhantu ne mbombo ezyaswijizye zyahabhoneha Ungulubhi zyabhombile ashilile hwa tumwe bhakwe.
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.
Bhonti bhabhahitishie izu lya Ngulubhi bhahakhalaga pandwimo ne vintu vyabhali navyo vyali vya bhonti,
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.
evintu vyabhali navyo bhakazyaga bhagabhilaga shila muntu shahanzaga.
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.
Ensiku zyonti bhali nu mwoyo gumo mushibhanza, bhamensulaga amabumunda mukhaya nalye eshalye shobho nuluseshelo nu mwoyo ugolosu;
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].
bhalumbaga Ungulubhi bhakonde lwe na bhanti bhonti. Shila lisiku abhantu bhahonjelelelaga mushibhanza bhaala bhabhahokahaga.
