Acts 2
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all met together with one accord.
Siku ya Pentekoste ilipofika, waumini wote walikuwa wamekusanyika pamoja.
2 And suddenly there was a sound from heaven as of a strong rushing wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Ghafla, sauti ikasikika kutoka angani; sauti iliyokuwa kama ya upepo mkali, ikajaza ile nyumba yote walimokuwa wamekaa.
3 And there appeared unto them divided tongues, as it were of fire, and it sat upon each of them:
Kisha, vikatokea vitu vilivyoonekana kama ndimi za moto, vikagawanyika na kutua juu ya kila mmoja wao.
4 and they were all filled with the holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Wote wakajazwa Roho Mtakatifu, wakaanza kusema lugha mbalimbali kadiri Roho alivyowawezesha.
5 Now there were at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
Na huko Yerusalemu walikuwako Wayahudi, watu wamchao Mungu, waliotoka katika kila nchi duniani.
6 And when this rumor was spread, the multitude came together and were astonished; for every one heard them speaking in his own language.
Waliposikia sauti hiyo, kundi kubwa la watu lilikusanyika. Wote walishtuka sana kwani kila mmoja wao aliwasikia hao waumini wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe.
7 And they were all amazed and wondered, saying to one another, Behold, are not all these, that are speaking, Galileans?
Walistaajabu na kushangaa, wakisema, “Je, hawa wote tunaowasikia wakisema hivi, si wenyeji wa Galilaya?
8 and how do we every one hear them in our own native tongue?
Imekuwaje, basi, kwamba kila mmoja wetu anawasikia wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those that dwell in Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Capadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia,
Baadhi yetu ni Waparthi, Wamedi na Waelami; wengine ni wenyeji wa Mesopotamia, Yudea, Kapadokia, Ponto na Asia,
10 Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers from Rome, Jews and proselytes,
Frugia na Pamfulia, Misri na sehemu za Libya karibu na Kurene; wengine wetu ni wageni kutoka Roma,
11 Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.
Wayahudi na watu walioongokea dini ya Kiyahudi; wengine wametoka Krete na Arabia. Sisi sote tunasikia wakisema kwa lugha zetu wenyewe mambo makuu ya Mungu.”
12 And they were all amazed and in doubt, saying one to another, What can this mean?
Wote walishangaa na kufadhaika huku wakiulizana, “Hii ina maana gani?”
13 but others scoffing said, they are full of sweet wine.
Lakini wengine wakawadhihaki wakisema, “Watu hawa wamelewa divai mpya!”
14 But Peter standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and listen to my words:
Lakini Petro alisimama pamoja na wale kumi na mmoja akaanza kuwahutubia watu kwa sauti kubwa: “Ndugu Wayahudi nanyi nyote mnaokaa hapa Yerusalemu, sikilizeni kwa makini maneno yangu.
15 for these men are not drunk, as ye suppose; for it is but the third hour of the day.
Watu hawa hawakulewa kama mnavyodhani; mbona ni saa tatu tu asubuhi?
16 But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel,
Ukweli ni kwamba jambo hili ni lile alilosema nabii Yoeli:
17 "And it shall come to pass in the last days (saith God) that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Katika siku zile za mwisho, asema Bwana, nitawamiminia binadamu wote Roho wangu. Watoto wenu, wanaume kwa wanawake, watautangaza ujumbe wangu; vijana wenu wataona maono, na wazee wenu wataota ndoto.
18 yea and on my servants and on my handmaids, in those days, I will pour out of my Spirit, and they also shall prophesy.
Naam, hata watumishi wangu, wanaume kwa wanawake, nitawamiminia Roho wangu, siku zile, nao watautangaza ujumbe wangu.
19 And I will give prodigies in the heaven, and signs upon the earth; blood, and fire, and smoky vapour.
Nitatenda miujiza juu angani, na ishara chini duniani; kutakuwa na damu, moto na moshi mzito;
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and illustrious day of the Lord come.
jua litatiwa giza, na mwezi utakuwa mwekundu kama damu, kabla ya kutokea ile siku kuu na tukufu ya Bwana.
21 And whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved."
Hapo, yeyote atakayeomba kwa jina la Bwana, ataokolewa.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and prodigies, and signs, which God wrought by Him in the midst of you,
“Wananchi wa Israeli, sikilizeni maneno haya! Yesu wa Nazareti alikuwa mtu ambaye mamlaka yake ya kimungu yalithibitishwa kwenu kwa miujiza, maajabu na ishara Mungu alizofanya kati yenu kwa njia yake, kama mnavyojua.
23 (as ye yourselves also know, ) Him being given up by the determinate counsel and fore-knowlege of God ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.
Kufuatana na mpango wake mwenyewe Mungu alikwisha amua kwamba Yesu angetiwa mikononi mwenu; nanyi mkamuua kwa kuwaachia watu wabaya wamsulubishe.
24 Whom God hath raised up again, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
Lakini Mungu alimfufua kutoka wafu akamwokoa katika maumivu ya kifo kwa maana haingewezekana kabisa kifo kimfunge.
25 For David saith concerning Him, "I set the Lord always before me, for He is at my right hand, that I should not be moved: therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Maana Daudi alisema juu yake hivi: Nilimwona Bwana mbele yangu daima; yuko nami upande wangu wa kulia, na hivyo sitatikisika.
26 and my flesh shall rest in hope,
Kwa hiyo, moyo wangu ulifurahi; tena nilipiga vigelegele vya furaha. Mwili wangu utakaa katika tumaini;
27 that Thou wilt not leave my soul in the invisible state, nor suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
kwa kuwa hutaiacha roho yangu katika kuzimu, wala kumruhusu mtakatifu wako aoze. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; and Thou wilt fill me with joy by the light of thy countenance."
Umenionyesha njia za kuufikia uzima, kuwako kwako kwanijaza furaha!
29 Men and brethren, allow me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he is dead and buried, and his sepulchre is among us to this day.
“Ndugu zangu, napenda kuwaambieni waziwazi juu ya mambo yaliyompata Daudi, babu yetu. Yeye alikufa, akazikwa, tena kaburi lake liko papa hapa petu mpaka leo.
30 Therefore being a prophet; and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah, to sit on his throne;
Lakini kwa vile Daudi alikuwa nabii, alijua kuwa Mungu alimwapia kiapo kwamba atamtawaza mmoja wa uzawa wake kuwa mfalme mahali pake.
31 foreseeing this he spake of the resurrection of Christ, when he said, that his soul was not left in the invisible state, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
Daudi aliona kabla mambo yatakayofanywa na Mungu na hivyo akasema juu ya ufufuo wa Kristo wakati aliposema: Hakuachwa kuzimu, mwili wake haukuoza. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus hath God raised up from the dead, of which we all are witnesses.
Basi, Mungu alimfufua huyo Yesu na sisi sote ni mashahidi wa tukio hilo.
33 Therefore being exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the holy Spirit, He hath poured forth this gift, which ye now see and hear.
Yesu aliinuliwa juu mpaka upande wa kulia wa Mungu, akapokea kutoka kwa Baba ile zawadi aliyoahidi yaani Roho Mtakatifu; na mnachoona sasa na kusikia ni mmiminiko wa huyo Roho.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he himself says, "The Lord said to my Lord,
Maana Daudi mwenyewe, hakupanda mpaka mbinguni; ila yeye alisema: Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: Keti upande wangu wa kulia,
35 Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."
hadi nitakapowafanya adui zako kibao cha kukanyagia miguu yako.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made this very Jesus, whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.
“Watu wote wa Israeli wanapaswa kufahamu kwa hakika kwamba huyo Yesu mliyemsulubisha ninyi, ndiye huyo ambaye Mungu amemfanya kuwa Bwana na Kristo.”
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?
Basi, watu waliposikia hayo, walichomwa moyo, wakawauliza Petro na wale mitume wenzake: “Ndugu zetu, tufanye nini?”
38 And Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Spirit:
Petro akajibu, “Tubuni na kila mmoja wenu abatizwe kwa jina la Yesu Kristo ili mpate kuondolewa dhambi zenu na kupokea ile zawadi ya Roho Mtakatifu.
39 for the promise is to you and to your children, yea and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Maana, ahadi ile ilikuwa kwa ajili yenu, kwa ajili ya watoto wenu, kwa ajili ya wote wanaokaa mbali; na kwa ajili ya kila mtu ambaye Bwana Mungu wetu atamwita kwake.”
40 And with many other words did he press and exhort them, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
Kwa maneno mengine mengi, Petro alisisitiza na kuwahimiza watu akisema, “Jiokoeni katika kizazi hiki kiovu.”
41 They therefore that received his word with readiness were baptized: and in that same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Wengi waliyakubali maneno yake, wakabatizwa. Watu wapatao elfu tatu wakaongezeka katika kile kikundi siku hiyo.
42 And they continued stedfast in the apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Hawa wote waliendelea kujifunza kutoka kwa mitume, kuishi pamoja kidugu, kumega mkate na kusali.
43 And fear came upon all the people: and many miracles and signs were wrought by the apostles.
Miujiza na maajabu mengi yalifanyika kwa njia ya mitume hata kila mtu akajawa na hofu.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common.
Waumini wote waliendelea kuwa kitu kimoja na mali zao waligawana pamoja.
45 And they sold their possessions and goods, and distributed to all, according as any one had need.
Walikuwa wakiuza mali na vitu vyao kisha wakagawana fedha kadiri ya mahitaji ya kila mmoja.
46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
Waliendelea kukutana pamoja kila siku Hekaluni. Lakini wakati wa kumega mkate, walikutana katika nyumba zao na wakakishiriki chakula hicho kwa furaha na moyo mkunjufu.
47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Walimtukuza Mungu, wakapendwa na watu wote. Kila siku Bwana aliwaongezea idadi ya watu waliokuwa wakiokolewa.
