Acts 2
1 Now when the day of Shavu`ot had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Kwathi selugcwalisekile usuku lwePentekoste, babendawonye bengqondonye bonke.
2 Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Kwahle kwezwakala-ke umdumo ovela ezulwini onjengowokuvunguza komoya olamandla, njalo wagcwalisa indlu yonke ababehlezi kuyo,
3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
kwasekubonakala kubo inlimi ezehlukanisiweyo kungathi ngezomlilo, zasezihlala phezu kwalowo lalowo wabo.
4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
Basebegcwaliswa bonke ngoMoya oNgcwele, baqala ukukhuluma ngezinye indimi, njengalokhu uMoya wabanika ukuphumisela.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
Kwakuhlala-ke eJerusalema amaJuda, amadoda aqotho, avela kuso sonke isizwe salezo ezingaphansi kwezulu.
6 When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
Kwathi sekulalo umdumo, ixuku labuthana ndawonye lasanganiseka, ngoba ngulowo lalowo wabezwa bekhuluma ngolimi lwakibo.
7 They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?
Basebemangala kakhulu bonke bababaza, bakhulumisana bathi: Khangelani, bonke laba abakhulumayo kayisibo abeGalili yini?
8 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
Kungani, pho, thina sibezwa ngamunye wabo ngolimi lwakithi esazalwa lalo?
9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
AmaPathiya lamaMede lamaElamu, labahlali beMesopotamiya, labeJudiya labeKaphadosiya, abePontusi labeAsiya,
10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
abeFrigiya labePamfiliya, abeGibhithe labengxenye zeLibiya eduze leKurene, lezihambi ezingamaRoma, kokubili amaJuda labaphendukela kumaJuda,
11 Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
amaKrete lamaArabhiya, siyabezwa bekhuluma ngendimi zakithi imisebenzi emikhulu kaNkulunkulu.
12 They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
Bonke basebemangala kakhulu badideka, bakhulumisana besithi: Lokhu kungaba yini?
13 Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
Kodwa abanye bahleka usulu bathi: Basuthi iwayini elitsha.
14 But Peter, standing up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
Kodwa uPetro emi labalitshumi lanye, waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe, wasesithi kubo: Madoda maJuda, lani lonke elihlala eJerusalema, kakwaziwe kini lokhu, njalo lilalelisise amazwi ami.
15 For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.
Ngoba laba kabadakwanga, njengoba lina licabanga; ngoba kulihola lesithathu losuku;
16 But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
kodwa lokhu yikho okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi uJoweli:
17 ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
Njalo kuzakuthi ensukwini zokucina, utsho uNkulunkulu, ngizathulula okoMoya wami phezu kwayo yonke inyama; lamadodana enu lamadodakazi enu azaprofetha, lamajaha enu abone imibono, labadala benu baphuphe amaphupho;
18 Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
njalo laphezu kwenceku zami laphezu kwencekukazi zami ngalezonsuku ngizathulula okoMoya wami, njalo zizaprofetha.
19 I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
Njalo ngizaveza izimangaliso ezulwini phezulu, lezibonakaliso emhlabeni phansi, igazi, lomlilo, leyezi lentuthu;
20 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
ilanga lizaphendulwa umnyama, lenyanga igazi, lungakafiki usuku lweNkosi olukhulu loludumisekayo;
21 It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
kuzakuthi, wonke obiza ibizo leNkosi uzasindiswa.
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words! Yeshua of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, even as you yourselves know,
Madoda maIsrayeli, zwanini la amazwi: UJesu weNazaretha, umuntu ofakazelwe nguNkulunkulu phambi kwenu ngemisebenzi yamandla langezimangaliso langezibonakaliso, uNkulunkulu azenza ngaye phakathi kwenu, njengalokhu lisazi lani uqobo lwenu,
23 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
yena lo esenikelwe ngecebo elimisiweyo langokwazi okuphambili kukaNkulunkulu lamthatha, ngezandla zabangelamthetho lambethela lambulala;
24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
yena uNkulunkulu wamvusa, esethukulule inhlungu zokufa, ngoba kwakungelakwenzeka ukuthi abanjwe yikho.
25 For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
Ngoba uDavida uthi ngaye: Ngangibona iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, ukuze nginganyikinyeki;
26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
ngakho inhliziyo yami yajabula, lolimi lwami lwathokoza; ngitsho lenyama yami izahlala ethembeni;
27 because you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
ngoba kawuyikutshiya umphefumulo wami esihogweni, kawuyikunikela oNgcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Hadēs g86)
28 You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
Wangazisa indlela zempilo; uzangigcwalisa ngenjabulo ebusweni bakho.
29 “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
Madoda bazalwane, ake ngikhulume kini ngokusobala ngokhokho uDavida, ukuthi wafa njalo wangcwatshwa, lengcwaba lakhe likhona kithi kuze kube lamuhla.
30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne,
Ngakho, yena engumprofethi, ekwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wafunga ngesifungo kuye, ukuthi esithelweni sokhalo lwakhe ngokwenyama uzavusa uKristu, ukuze ahlale esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi,
31 he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul wasn’t left in Sheol, and his flesh didn’t see decay. (Hadēs g86)
ebonile ngaphambili wakhuluma ngokuvuka kukaKristu, ukuthi umphefumulo wakhe kawutshiywanga esihogweni, lenyama yakhe kayikubonanga ukubola. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Yeshua God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
UJesu lo uNkulunkulu wamvusa, esingabafakazi balokhu thina sonke.
33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear.
Ngakho ephakanyiswe ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, esemukele kuBaba isithembiso sikaMoya oNgcwele, uthulule lokhu elikubonayo lelikuzwayo khathesi.
34 For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand
Ngoba uDavida kenyukelanga emazulwini, kodwa yena uqobo lwakhe uthi: INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami,
35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho.
36 “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Yeshua whom you crucified.”
Ngakho indlu kaIsrayeli yonke kayazi isibili, ukuthi uNkulunkulu umenzile kokubili ukuba yiNkosi loKristu, uJesu lo elambethelayo lina.
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the emissaries, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
Sebekuzwa lokhu bahlabeka enhliziyweni, basebesithi kuPetro lakwabanye abaphostoli: Madoda bazalwane, sizakwenzani?
38 Peter said to them, “Repent and be immersed, every one of you, in the name of Yeshua the Messiah for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
UPetro wasesithi kubo: Phendukani, libhabhathizwe lonke ngamunye wenu ebizweni likaJesu Kristu ethethelelweni lwezono, njalo lizakwemukela isipho sikaMoya oNgcwele.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”
Ngoba isithembiso ngesenu, lesabantwana benu, lesabo bonke abakhatshana, bonke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezababizela kuyo.
40 With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
Langamanye amazwi amanengi wafakaza wakhuthaza wathi: Zisindiseni kulesisizukulwana esiphambeneyo.
41 Then those who gladly received his word were immersed. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
Ngakho abalemukelayo ilizwi lakhe ngokuthokoza babhabhathizwa; njalo ngalolosuku kwengezelelwa imiphefumulo engaba zinkulungwane ezintathu.
42 They continued steadfastly in the emissaries’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
Basebephikelela ekufundiseni kwabaphostoli lebudlelwaneni, lekuhlephuleni isinkwa lemikhulekweni.
43 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the emissaries.
Lokwesaba kwehlela phezu kwayo yonke imiphefumulo; njalo kwenziwa ngabaphostoli izimangaliso lezibonakaliso ezinengi.
44 All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
Njalo bonke abakholwayo babendawonye, babelezinto zonke bezihlanganyela,
45 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
basebethengisa izinto lempahla zabo, basebesabelana bonke, njengokuswela komunye lomunye.
46 Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
Insuku ngensuku basebephikelela nganhliziyonye ethempelini, behlephula isinkwa izindlu ngezindlu, besidla ndawonye ngentokozo langenhliziyo emhlophe,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
bedumisa uNkulunkulu, bethandeka ebantwini bonke. LeNkosi yengezelela ebandleni insuku ngensuku labo abasindiswayo.
