< Atũmwo 2 >

1 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũthenya wa Bendegothito wakinyire-rĩ, acio othe magĩkorwo maarĩ handũ hamwe.
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all of one accord in the same place.
2 Na o rĩmwe mũgambo ta wa rũhuho rũnene rũkũhurutana na hinya ũgĩũka kuuma igũrũ, ũkĩiyũra nyũmba yothe ĩrĩa maaikarĩte.
And suddenly there was a sound from heaven as of a mighty, rushing wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 Makĩona kĩndũ gĩatariĩ ta nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki iria ciagayũkanĩte igĩikara igũrũ rĩa mũndũ o mũndũ.
And there appeared unto them divided tongues, as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them;
4 Othe makĩiyũrio Roho Mũtheru na makĩambĩrĩria kwaria na thiomi ingĩ o ta ũrĩa Roho aamahotithirie.
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Na rĩrĩ, kũu Jerusalemu nĩ gwaikaraga Ayahudi etigĩri Ngai kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ.
And Jews were dwelling at Jerusalem, devout men from every nation, of those under the heaven;
6 Rĩrĩa maiguire mũgambo ũcio, gĩkundi kĩa andũ gĩgĩcookanĩrĩra kĩgegete, tondũ o mũndũ aamaiguaga makĩaria na rũthiomi rwake kĩũmbe.
and this report prevailing, the multitude came together and was confounded, because they were hearing them speaking each one in his own dialect.
7 Nao makĩgega mũno, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Githĩ andũ aya othe maraaria ti andũ a Galili?
And they were all astounded and marveled, saying, Are not all these who are speaking, Galileans?
8 Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mũndũ o mũndũ witũ amaigue makĩaria na rũthiomi rwa kũrĩa aaciarĩirwo?
And how do we hear each one in our own dialect in which we were born,
9 Andũ a Parithi, na a Media, na a Elamu; o na andũ arĩa matũũraga Mesopotamia, na Judea, na Kapadokia, na Ponto, na Asia,
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those inhabiting Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 na Firigia, na Pamufilia, na Misiri, na mĩena ya Libia ĩrĩa ĩrĩ gũkuhĩ na Kurene, na ageni a kuuma Roma,
indeed Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the regions of Libya which is beyond Cyrene, and Roman sojourners, both Jews and proselytes,
11 (Ayahudi hamwe na andũ arĩa meegarũrĩte magatuĩka Ayahudi); na andũ a Kirete, na a Arabia, tũramaigua makĩaria na thiomi ciitũ ũhoro wa magegania ma Ngai!”
Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking the mighty works of God in our own languages.
12 Mamakĩte na makagega makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩ kuuga atĩa?”
And all were astounded and bewildered, saying one to another, What does this wish to be?
13 Amwe ao, o na kũrĩ ũguo, nĩmamathirĩkirie, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩkũrĩĩo marĩĩtwo nĩ ndibei.”
And others mocking, continued to say, that these people are full of fermented wine.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Petero akĩrũgama hamwe na arĩa ikũmi na ũmwe, akĩanĩrĩra na akĩarĩria gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ andũ aitũ Ayahudi o na inyuĩ inyuothe mũtũũraga Jerusalemu, rekei ndĩmũtaarĩrie ũhoro ũyũ; thikĩrĩriai wega ũrĩa nguuga.
And Peter standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke to them: Judean men and all ye dwelling at Jerusalem, let this be known unto you, and know my words.
15 Andũ aya ti arĩĩu, ta ũrĩa mũreciiria. Rĩu nĩ thaa ithatũ tu cia rũciinĩ!
For these are not drunken, as you suppose; for it is the third hour of the day;
16 Aca gũtitariĩ ta ũguo, ũhoro ũyũ nĩguo warĩtio nĩ mũnabii Joeli, akiuga atĩrĩ:
but this is that which has been spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 “‘Ngai ekuuga atĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ ma kũrigĩrĩria nĩngaitĩrĩria andũ othe Roho wakwa. Ariũ na aarĩ anyu nĩmakarathaga mohoro, Aanake anyu nĩmakonaga cioneki, nao athuuri anyu marootage irooto.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out from 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;
18 O na ningĩ nĩngaitĩrĩria ndungata ciakwa cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja Roho wakwa matukũ-inĩ macio, nacio nĩikarathaga mohoro.
and upon my servants and my handmaidens I will pour out of my Spirit on those days, and they shall prophesy.
19 Nĩngonania morirũ kũu igũrũ matu-inĩ, na nyonanie ciama gũkũ thĩ, cia thakame, na cia mwaki, na cia ndogo ĩkwambata.
And I will give wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 Riũa nĩrĩkagarũrwo rĩtuĩke nduma, naguo mweri ũtuĩke ta thakame, mbere ya mũthenya ũcio mũnene wa Mwathani ũrĩa ũrĩ riiri gũkinya.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great day of the Lord shall come.
21 Na nĩgũgakinya atĩrĩ, atĩ mũndũ wothe ũgaakaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani nĩakahonokio.’
And it shall come to pass, that every one who may call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 “Inyuĩ andũ aya a Isiraeli, thikĩrĩriai ũhoro ũyũ: Jesũ wa Nazarethi aarĩ mũndũ waheanĩtwo nĩ Ngai kũrĩ inyuĩ na ũndũ wa ciama, na morirũ, na cionereria, iria Ngai aaringire gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu agereire harĩ we, o ta ũrĩa inyuĩ ene mũũĩ.
Israelitish men, hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man having been demonstrated unto you from God by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did through Him in your midst, as yourselves know;
23 Mũndũ ũyũ aaneanirwo moko-inĩ manyu, kũringana na ũrĩa Ngai aatuĩte na ũrĩa aamenyete o mbere; na inyuĩ, mũteithĩrĩirio nĩ andũ arĩa aaganu, mũkĩmũũraga na njĩra ya kũmwambithia mũtharaba-inĩ.
Him by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, having been delivered, you having nailed up, slew through the hand of lawless men;
24 No Ngai akĩmũriũkia kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, akĩmuohora ruo-inĩ rwa gĩkuũ, tondũ gũtingĩahotekire atũũre anyiitĩtwo nĩkĩo.
whom God raised up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was impossible that he should be held by it.
25 Tondũ Daudi oigire atĩrĩ ũhoro wake: “‘Nĩndonaga Mwathani arĩ mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe. Tondũ arĩ guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo-rĩ, ndingĩenyenyeka.
For David says in reference to him, I foresaw my Lord always before me, because he is on my right hand, in order that I may not be moved.
26 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro yakwa nĩnjanjamũku, naruo rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũgakena; o naguo mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩũgũtũũra ũrĩ na mwĩhoko,
Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue was glad, and my flesh shall indeed still rest in hope,
27 tondũ ndũkandiganĩria mbĩrĩra-inĩ, o na kana ũreke ũrĩa waku Mũtheru abuthe. (Hadēs g86)
because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Nĩũũmenyithĩtie njĩra cia muoyo; nĩũkanjiyũria gĩkeno ndĩ harĩa ũrĩ.’
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with gladness with thy countenance.
29 “Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, no ndĩmwĩre ndĩ na ũũmĩrĩru atĩ ithe witũ Daudi nĩakuire na agĩthikwo, na mbĩrĩra yake ĩrĩ o gũkũ nginya ũmũthĩ ũyũ.
Men, brethren, it is lawful to speak to you with boldness concerning the patriarch David, because he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Nowe aarĩ mũnabii na nĩamenyete atĩ Ngai nĩamwĩrire na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩagaikarĩria ũmwe wa rũciaro rwake gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
Therefore being a prophet and knowing that God swore with an oath, that from the fruit of his loins One should sit upon the throne;
31 Nĩ ũndũ nĩamenyete ũhoro ũcio mbere, nĩaririe ũhoro wa kũriũka gwa Kristũ, atĩ ndaatiganĩirio mbĩrĩra-inĩ, o na kana mwĩrĩ wake ũkĩbutha. (Hadēs g86)
foreseeing he spoke concerning the resurrection of Christ, that He was not left in Hades, neither did His flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Ngai nĩariũkĩtie Jesũ ũcio, na ithuĩ ithuothe tũrĩ aira a ũhoro ũcio.
This Jesus God raised up, whose witnesses we are.
33 Kuona atĩ nĩatũũgĩrĩtio guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ngai, na nĩamũkĩrire kĩĩranĩro kĩa Roho Mũtheru kuuma kũrĩ Ithe, nake nĩatũitĩrĩirie Roho ta ũrĩa mũrona rĩu na mũkaigua.
Therefore on the right hand of God exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, has poured out this which you both see and hear.
34 Nĩgũkorwo Daudi ndaambatire agĩthiĩ igũrũ, no nĩoigire atĩrĩ, “‘Mwathani nĩeerire Mwathani wakwa atĩrĩ: “Ikara guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo,
For David hath not ascended into the heavens, but he says, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 o nginya rĩrĩa ngaatua thũ ciaku gaturwa ka makinya maku.”’
until I may make thy enemies the footstool of thy feet.
36 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe a Isiraeli nĩmamenye atĩrĩ: Ngai nĩ atuĩte Jesũ, o ũcio mwambire, Mwathani na Kristũ.”
Then let all the house of Israel assuredly know that God hath made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Rĩrĩa andũ maiguire ũhoro ũcio, ũkĩmatheeca ngoro, makĩũria Petero na atũmwo acio angĩ atĩrĩ, “Ariũ a Baba, twagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩka atĩa?”
And hearing, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, Men, brethren, what must we do?
38 Nake Petero akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwĩrirei na mũbatithio mũndũ o mũndũ thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ Kristũ, nĩguo mũrekerwo mehia manyu. Na inyuĩ nĩ mũkwamũkĩra kĩheo kĩa Roho Mũtheru.
And Peter said to them, Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Kĩĩranĩro gĩkĩ nĩ kĩanyu na ciana cianyu, na andũ arĩa othe marĩ kũraya, na andũ arĩa othe Mwathani Ngai witũ ageeta moke harĩ we.”
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all who are afar off, so many as the Lord our God may call.
40 Akĩmataara na ciugo ingĩ nyingĩ, akĩmakaanagia; na akĩmathaitha, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhonokiei kuuma kũrĩ rũciaro rũrũ ruogomu.”
And with many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying, Be saved from this wicked generation.
41 Andũ arĩa meetĩkĩrire ndũmĩrĩri yake makĩbatithio, na mũthenya ũcio makĩongerereka andũ ta ngiri ithatũ.
Then indeed having received his word they were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added unto them;
42 Nao nĩmerutĩire kũgwatĩria ũrutani wa atũmwo, na ngwatanĩro-inĩ, na ũhoro-inĩ wa kwenyũrana mũgate, na kũhooya.
and they were persevering in the teaching of the apostles and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 Andũ othe makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya, nao atũmwo magĩĩka morirũ maingĩ, na makĩringa ciama.
And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were wrought by the apostles in Jerusalem; and there was a great fear upon all.
44 Andũ arĩa othe meetĩkĩtie maarĩ hamwe, na nĩmagwatanagĩra indo ciothe.
And all those who believed were together and had all things common,
45 Makĩendia ithaka ciao na indo ciao, makaheaga mũndũ o wothe kũringana na bata wake.
and they sold their possessions and personalities, and divided the same unto all, as each one had need.
46 O mũthenya nĩmagomanaga hekarũ-inĩ. Nĩmenyũraga mũgate marĩ mĩciĩ-inĩ yao, na makarĩĩanĩra marĩ na gĩkeno, na marĩ na ngoro theru,
And daily of one accord in the temple they were persevering; and breaking bread from house to house, they received their food with gladness and purity of heart,
47 makagoocaga Ngai, na magetĩkĩrĩka kũrĩ andũ othe. Nake Mwathani nĩongagĩrĩra thiritũ-inĩ yao andũ arĩa maahonokaga o mũthenya.
praising God, and having favor unto all the people. And the Lord was daily adding to them those who were being saved.
