< 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 with one accord in one place.
2 Na o rĩmwe mũgambo ta wa rũhuho rũnene rũkũhurutana na hinya ũgĩũka kuuma igũrũ, ũkĩiyũra nyũmba yothe ĩrĩa maaikarĩte.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty 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 to them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat on each 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 there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Rĩrĩa maiguire mũgambo ũcio, gĩkundi kĩa andũ gĩgĩcookanĩrĩra kĩgegete, tondũ o mũndũ aamaiguaga makĩaria na rũthiomi rwake kĩũmbe.
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 Nao makĩgega mũno, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Githĩ andũ aya othe maraaria ti andũ a Galili?
And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mũndũ o mũndũ witũ amaigue makĩaria na rũthiomi rwa kũrĩa aaciarĩirwo?
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein 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 the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 na Firigia, na Pamufilia, na Misiri, na mĩena ya Libia ĩrĩa ĩrĩ gũkuhĩ na Kurene, na ageni a kuuma Roma,
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, 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!”
Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 Mamakĩte na makagega makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩ kuuga atĩa?”
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What means this?
13 Amwe ao, o na kũrĩ ũguo, nĩmamathirĩkirie, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩkũrĩĩo marĩĩtwo nĩ ndibei.”
Others mocking said, These men are full of new 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.
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, You men of Judaea, and all you that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and listen to 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, seeing it is but 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 was 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 of my Spirit on 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 on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; 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 show wonders in heaven above, and signs in 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 and notable day of the Lord come:
21 Na nĩgũgakinya atĩrĩ, atĩ mũndũ wothe ũgaakaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani nĩakahonokio.’
And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on 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.
You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the middle of you, as you yourselves also 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, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 No Ngai akĩmũriũkia kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, akĩmuohora ruo-inĩ rwa gĩkuũ, tondũ gũtingĩahotekire atũũre anyiitĩtwo nĩkĩo.
Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held of 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 speaks concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro yakwa nĩnjanjamũku, naruo rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũgakena; o naguo mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩũgũtũũra ũrĩ na mwĩhoko,
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 tondũ ndũkandiganĩria mbĩrĩra-inĩ, o na kana ũreke ũrĩa waku Mũtheru abuthe. (Hadēs g86)
Because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Nĩũũmenyithĩtie njĩra cia muoyo; nĩũkanjiyũria gĩkeno ndĩ harĩa ũrĩ.’
You have made known to me the ways of life; you shall make me full of joy with your 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 and brothers, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us to 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 had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his 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)
He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Ngai nĩariũkĩtie Jesũ ũcio, na ithuĩ ithuothe tũrĩ aira a ũhoro ũcio.
This Jesus has God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
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 being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now 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 is not ascended into the heavens: but he says himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit you on my right hand,
35 o nginya rĩrĩa ngaatua thũ ciaku gaturwa ka makinya maku.”’
Until I make your foes your footstool.
36 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe a Isiraeli nĩmamenye atĩrĩ: Ngai nĩ atuĩte Jesũ, o ũcio mwambire, Mwathani na Kristũ.”
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made the same Jesus, whom you have 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?”
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brothers, what shall 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.
Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
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 to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall 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, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Andũ arĩa meetĩkĩrire ndũmĩrĩri yake makĩbatithio, na mũthenya ũcio makĩongerereka andũ ta ngiri ithatũ.
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls.
42 Nao nĩmerutĩire kũgwatĩria ũrutani wa atũmwo, na ngwatanĩro-inĩ, na ũhoro-inĩ wa kwenyũrana mũgate, na kũhooya.
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 Andũ othe makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya, nao atũmwo magĩĩka morirũ maingĩ, na makĩringa ciama.
And fear came on every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 Andũ arĩa othe meetĩkĩtie maarĩ hamwe, na nĩmagwatanagĩra indo ciothe.
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 Makĩendia ithaka ciao na indo ciao, makaheaga mũndũ o wothe kũringana na bata wake.
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man 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 they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness 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 with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
