< Acts 2 >

1 In the course of the Festival at the close of the Harvest the disciples had all met together,
Ligono la Pentekoste palahikili vamsadika voha vakonganiki pandu pamonga.
2 when suddenly there came from the heavens a noise like that of a strong wind rushing by; it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
Chighafula, lwami lukayuwanika kuhuma kunani ngati chimbungululu chivaha, chikamema nyumba yoha yevatamili.
3 Then there appeared tongues of what seemed to be flame, separating, so that one settled on each of them;
Kangi, vikahumila vindu vyevyawonikini ngati lulimi lwa motu, lukalekengana na kutula panani ya kila mmonga wavi.
4 and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with strange ‘tongues’ as the Spirit prompted their utterances.
Voha vakamemeswa Mpungu Msopi na kutumbula kujova luga ndalindali ngati Mpungu cheavahotwisi.
5 Now there were then staying in Jerusalem religious Jews from every country in the world;
Na ku Yelusalemu kwavi na Vayawudi, vandu vevakumtopesa Chapanga vevahumila kila likabila pamulima.
6 and, when this sound was heard, numbers of people collected, in the greatest excitement, because each of them heard the disciples speaking in his own language.
Pevayuwini lwami lula, msambi uvaha wa vandu ukakonganeka. Voha vakakenyemuka neju muni kila mmonga wavi avayuwini vandu vala vijova kwa luga yaki mwene.
7 They were utterly amazed, and kept asking in astonishment: “What! Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?
Vakavya na chinamtiti na kukangasa vakajova, “Wu, ava vetikuvayuwana, lepi vakolonjinji va ku Galilaya!
8 Then how is it that we each of us hear them in our own native language?
Hinu, yivi wuli, tete kuvayuwana kila mmonga ijova kwa luga yaki mwene?
9 Some of us are Parthians, some Medes, some Elamites; and some of us live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Roman Asia,
Pagati yitu vavi vandu kuhuma ku Paliti vangi ku Medi na vangi ku Elami na vangi vakolonjinji va Mesopotamia na Yudea na Kapodokia na Ponto na Asia,
10 in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the districts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; some of us are visitors from Rome,
Flugia na Pamfulia na Misili na vangi kuhuma Libiya papipi na Kulene na vangi vitu ndi vayehe kuhuma ku Loma,
11 either Jews by birth or converts, and some are Cretans and Arabians — yet we all alike hear them speaking in our own tongues of the great things that God has done.”
Vayawudi na vangalikuvya Vayawudi, nambu vilanda njila ya kumuyupa Chapanga ya Vayawudi, vangi vahumili ku Kilete na Alabia. Tavete tikuvayuwana vijova kwa luga zitu ndi matendu gakulu ga Chapanga.”
12 They were all utterly amazed and bewildered. “What does it mean?” they asked one another.
Voha vakakangasa na kuvagaya kuni vikotana, “Yeniyi mana yaki kiki?”
13 But there were some who said with a sneer: “They have had too much new wine.”
Nambu vangi vakavavevesa vakajova, “Vandu ava vagalili ugimbi!”
14 Then Peter, surrounded by the eleven other Apostles, stood up, and, raising his voice, addressed the crowd. “Men of Judea,” he began, “and all you who are staying in Jerusalem, let me tell you what this means. Mark well my words.
Kangi Petili akayima pamonga na vamitumi kumi na mmonga vala akatumbula kuvakokosela vandu. Valongo Vayawudi na mwavoha nyenye mwemwitama ku Yelusalemu, myuwanila malovi gangu.
15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose; for it is only now nine in the morning! No!
Lepi chemwihololela vandu ava vagalili muni ndi saa yidatu ya lukela.
16 This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel —
Nambu lijambu lenili ndi chakaka lelalongaliki na Yoeli mweavili mlota wa Chapanga.
17 ‘It shall come about in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour out my Spirit on all mankind; Your sons and your daughters shall become Prophets, Your young men shall see visions, And your old men dream dreams;
Bambu ijova, mumagono gala gamwishu, nikuvamemesa Mpungu wangu vandu voha, vana vinu vagosi na vadala yati vilota ulota wa Chapanga, vasongolo vinu yati vilola maono, na vagogo vinu yati vilota munjozi.
18 Yes, even on the slaves — for they are mine — both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit, And they shall become Prophets;
Ena, hati vatumisi vangu, voha vagosi na vadala, yati nikuvapela Mpungu wangu navene yati vilotela.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above, And signs on the earth below — Blood and fire and mist of smoke;
Yati nikita gachinamtiti kunani, na kukita milangisu pahi pamulima. Yati kwiva na ngasi, motu na lyohi litopanu.
20 The sun shall become darkness, And the moon blood-red, Before the Day of the Lord comes — that great and awful day.
Lilanga yati ligubikwa na chitita, na mwehi walavya mdung'u ngati ngasi, kwakona kuhumila ligono likulu la ukulu wa Bambu.
21 Then shall every one who invokes the Name of the Lord be saved.’
Mewawa mundu yoyoha mweiyupa kwa liina la Bambu yati isanguliwa.
22 Men of Israel, listen to what I am saying. Jesus of Nazareth, a man whose mission from God to you was proved by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God showed among you through him, as you know full well —
“Vandu va Isilaeli myuwanila! Yesu wa ku Nazaleti avi mundu, uhotola waki wa uchapanga walangisi kwinu kwa gachinamtiti na makangaso na milangisu. Chapanga yeahengili kwa nyenye kwa njila yaki, ngati mwavene chemwimanya.
23 He, I say, in accordance with God’s definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death.
Ndava ya mpangu waki mwene Chapanga, amali kuhamula kuvya Yesu agotolewa kwa nyenye, na mwavene mwamkomili kwa kuvaleka vandu vahakau vamkoma na kumvamba mu msalaba.
24 But God released him from the pangs of death and raised him to life, it being impossible for death to retain its hold upon him.
Nambu Chapanga amyukisi kuhuma kwa vevafwili, amsangwili kuhuma mu mvinisu wa lifwa, ndava muni yihotoleka lepi lifwa limkunga.
25 Indeed it was to him that David was referring when he said — ‘I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, For he stands at my right hand, that I should not be disquieted.
Muni Daudi ajovili aga kumvala mwene, ‘Namuwene Bambu palongolo yangu lukumbi lwoha, avi pamonga na nene upandi wa kulyelela, hati ninyugusika lepi.
26 Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; Yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;
Ndi muni mtima wangu waganisiwi, na kululuta kwa luheku. Hati higa yangu, yati yitama kwa kuhuvalila,
27 For thou wilt not abandon my soul to the Place of Death, Nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption. (Hadēs g86)
Ndava nakuuleka mpungu wangu kulitinda, wala kumlekekesa Msopi waku awola. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou have shown me the path to life, Thou wilt fill me with gladness in your presence.’
Unilangisi njila za wumi, ndava ya kuvya kwaku unimemisi luheku.’”
29 Brothers, I can speak to you the more confidently about the Patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.
“Valongo vangu, nigana kuvajovela hotohoto kumvala mambu gegampatili gogo witu Daudi. Mwene afwili na kuzikiwa na litinda laki livii kwitu mbaka lelu.
30 David, then, Prophet as he was, knowing that God ‘had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants upon his throne,’ looked into the future,
Nambu Daudi ndava avili mlota wa Chapanga amanyili kuvya Chapanga amlapakisi kwa lilaganu yati akumhagula mmonga wa chiveleku waki kuvya nkosi pahali paki.
31 and referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that ‘he had not been abandoned to the Place of Death, nor had his body undergone corruption.’ (Hadēs g86)
Daudi agaweni kwakona mambu aga gegihengeka na Chapanga, hinu akajova ndava ya kuyuka kwa Kilisitu, lukumbi peajovili, ‘Nakulekewa mu litinda la mbugu, higa yaki yawoli lepi.’ (Hadēs g86)
32 It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.
Chapanga amyukisi Yesu na tavoha tete ndi vetijova ndava ya lijambu lenilo.
33 And now that he has been exalted to the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, he has begun to pour out that gift, as you yourselves now see and hear.
Yesu peamali kukweswa na kuvikwa upandi wa kulyelela wa Chapanga ndi akapokela kuhuma kwa Dadi, Mpungu Msopi yula mweatiahidi, atimemimisi Mpungu wene. Chenicho ndi chetikuchiwona hinu na kuyuwana.
34 It was not David who went up into Heaven; for he himself says — ‘The Lord said to my master: “Sit on my right hand,
Muni Daudi nakukwela mbaka kunani kwa Chapanga, muni ngamwene ajovili, ‘Bambu amjovili Bambu wangu, tama upandi wangu wa kulyela,
35 Till I put your enemies as a footstool under thy feet.”’
mbaka penikuvavika makoko gaku kuvya chigoda cha kuvikila magendelu gaku.’”
36 So let the whole nation of Israel know beyond all doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ — this very Jesus whom you crucified.”
“Vandu voha va Isilaeli viganikiwa kumanya kwa uchakaka kuvya Yesu mwenuyo mwevamkomili na kumvamba mu msalaba, ndi Chapanga amviki kuvya Bambu na Kilisitu.”
37 When the people heard this, they were conscience-smitten, and said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles: “Brothers, what can we do?”
Hinu, vandu pavagayuwini genago, mitima yawavinili, vakavakota Petili na pamonga na vamitumi vayaki. “Valongo vitu tikita wuli?”
38 “Repent,” answered Peter, “and be baptized every one of you in the Faith of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Petili akavayangula, “Mumuwuyila Chapanga na kila mmonga winu abatiziwa kwa liina la Yesu Kilisitu, muni mulekekesewayi kubumdila Chapanga na kupokela njombi yila ya Mpungu Msopi.
39 For the promise is for you and for your children, and also for all those now far away, who may be called by the Lord our God.”
Muni lilaganu lila lavi ndava yinu na ndava ya vana vinu na ndava ya voha vevitama kutali ndava ya kila mundu mweikemiwa na Bambu Chapanga witu.”
40 With many other words Peter enforced his teaching, while the burden of his exhortations was — “Save yourselves from the perverse spirit of this age.”
Kwa malovi gangi gamahele, Petili avajovili hotohoto vandu “Vajisangula na chiveleku ichi chihakau.”
41 So those who accepted his teaching were baptized, and about three thousand people joined the disciples on that day alone.
Vamahele pagati yavi vagasadiki malovi ga Petili na kubatiziwa, na vandu vevayonjokisiki vavi ngati elufu zidatu ligono lenilo.
42 They devoted themselves to the teaching of the Apostles and to the Common Life of the Church, to the Breaking of the Bread and to the Prayers.
Venavo voha vayendalili kujiwula kuhuma kwa vamitumi na kutama pamonga cha lukolo, kulya pamonga na kumuyupa kwa Chapanga.
43 A deep impression was made upon every one, and many wonders and signs were done at the hands of the Apostles.
Gachinamtiti na makangaso gamahele gahengiki munjila ya vamitumi hati kila mmonga akakangaswa.
44 All who became believers in Christ held everything for the common use;
Vamsadika voha vayendalili kuvya chindu chimonga na vindu vyavi vatangatilanayi kwa pamonga.
45 they sold their property and their goods, and shared the proceeds among them all, according to their individual needs.
Vavi mukugulisa kila chindu pamonga na kangi kugavana mashonga kuwanangana ngati avi na la liganu la mmonga wavi.
46 Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the Temple Courts, and to the Breaking of Bread at their homes, while they partook of their food in simple-hearted gladness, praising God, and winning the good-will of all the people.
Kila ligono vayendalili kukonganeka pamonga Munyumba ya Chapanga. Mewa lukumbi lwa kulya vakonganiki pamonga munyumba zavi na vilya kwa luheku na mtima wa msopi.
47 And the Lord daily added to their company those who were in the path of Salvation.
Vakamulumbalila Chapanga, vakaganwa na vandu voha. Kila ligono Bambu akavayonjokesela mu msambi vandu vevasanguliwi.
