When the day of Pentecost was fully come, and they were all together in the same place,
2 Amangwago okuwuuma, nga kuli ng’empewo ey’amaanyi ennyo ekunta, ne kuva mu ggulu, ne kujjula mu nnyumba yonna mwe baali batudde.
there came suddenly from the sky a sound like the onrush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 Ku buli omu ne kutuulako ennimi ng’ez’omuliro.
There appeared to them tongues, like flame, distributing themselves, one resting upon the head of each one,
4 Bonna ne bajjuzibwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu, ne batandika okwogera ennimi ez’enjawulo nga Mwoyo Mutukuvu bwe yabasobozesa.
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit was giving them utterance.
5 Waaliwo Abayudaaya bangi abatya Katonda abaali bazze mu Yerusaalemi nga bavudde mu buli ggwanga wansi w’eggulu.
Now there were, staying in Jerusalem. devout Jews from many and distant lands.
6 Bwe baawulira okuwuuma okwo, ekibiina kinene ne kikuŋŋaana, ne beewuunya okuwulira nga buli muntu awulira olulimi lw’ewaabwe.
So when this noise was heard, the crowd gathered in bewilderment because each man heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Ne bawuniikirira ne beewuunya ne bagamba nti, “Bano bonna aboogera si Bagaliraaya?
The were beside themselves with wonder. "Are not these Galileans who are speaking?" they exclaimed.
8 Kale lwaki tuwulira buli muntu olulimi lw’ewaffe gye twazaalibwa?
"Then how is it that each one of us hears them speak his own mother tongue?
9 Tubawulira nga boogera eby’amagero bya Katonda mu nnimi ez’Abapaazi, n’Abameedi, n’Abeeramiti, n’ez’abalala abava e Mesopotamiya, ne Buyudaaya, ne Kapadokiya, mu Ponto ne mu Asiya,
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judea, in Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
10 ne mu Fulugiya ne mu Panfuliya, n’abamu abava mu Misiri, n’ensi za Libiya okuliraana Kuleene, n’abagenyi Abaruumi,
in Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the district of Lybia around Cretans and Arabians,
11 Abayudaaya, n’abakyuka ne basoma Ekiyudaaya, n’Abakuleete n’Abawalabu.”
we all hear these men telling in our own tongue what great things God has done."
12 Bonna ne beewuunya nga bawuniikiridde, ne bagambagana nti, “Kino kitegeeza ki?”
All were astonished and bewildered and kept saying to one another, "What can this mean?"
13 Naye abalala ne baseka busesi nga bagamba nti, “Banywedde mwenge musu!”
But others were saying with jeer, "These men are full of sweet wine."
14 Awo Peetero n’asituka n’abatume ekkumi n’omu, n’asitula ku ddoboozi n’ayogera eri ekibiina, n’abagamba nti, “Abasajja Abayudaaya, nammwe mwenna ababeera mu Yerusaalemi, mutegeere bino era mumpulirize.
Then Peter, with the Eleven, stood up and addresses them in a loud voice. "Men of Judea and dwellers in Jerusalem, have no doubt about this matter, but listen to what I say.
15 Abantu bano tebatamidde nga bwe mulowooza, kubanga essaawa ziri ssatu ez’enkya!
"These men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only nine o’clock in the morning.
16 Naye kino kye kyayogerwako nnabbi Yoweeri nti,
"No, this is what the prophet Joel predicted.
17 “‘Olulituuka mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma, bw’ayogera Katonda, ndifuka Omwoyo wange ku balina omubiri bonna. Batabani bammwe ne bawala bammwe baliwa obunnabbi; n’abavubuka bammwe balyolesebwa, n’abakadde baliroota ebirooto.
"In the last days, God says, it shall come to pass that I will pour out my Spirit upon all mankind; "Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams;
18 Mu biro ebyo ndifuka Omwoyo wange, ku baweereza bange abasajja n’abakazi; baliwa obunnabbi.
upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days, will I pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 Era ndikola ebyamagero mu ggulu waggulu, n’obubonero ku nsi wansi, omusaayi n’omuliro n’ekikoomi eky’omukka.
In the sky above I will show marvels, And signs in the earth beneath; Blood and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 Enjuba erifuuka ekizikiza, n’omwezi gulimyuka ng’omusaayi, olunaku lwa Mukama olukulu era olw’ekitiibwa nga terunnatuuka.
Into darkness shall the sun be turned, And into blood the moon, Ere the day of the Lord come, that great and terrible day.
21 Na buli muntu alikoowoola erinnya lya Mukama, alirokolebwa.’
And every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
22 “Abasajja Abayisirayiri, muwulirize ebigambo bino! Yesu Omunnazaaleesi omuntu Katonda gwe yakakasa gye muli n’ebyamagero eby’ekitalo, Katonda bye yamukozesanga ng’ali mu mmwe, nga mwenna bwe mumanyi.
"Men of Israel, listen to these words. Jesus the Nazarene, a man accredited to you by God, through mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, as you yourselves know;
23 Naye ng’enteekateeka ya Katonda bwe yali, omuntu oyo yaweebwayo mu mikono gy’abantu abatagoberera mateeka, ne mumutta nga mumukomeredde ku musaalaba.
him, delivered up by the settled purpose and fore-knowledge of God, you crucified and killed at the hands of lawless men;
24 Kyokka Katonda yamuzuukiza ng’asaanyizaawo obulumi bw’okufa, kubanga okufa tekwayinza kumunyweza.
but God has raised him to life, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for death to hold him.
25 Kubanga Dawudi amwogerako nti, “‘Nalaba nga Mukama ali nange bulijjo, kubanga ali ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, nneme okusagaasagana.
For David says of him. "I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is at my right hand lest I be shaken.
26 Noolwekyo omutima gwange kyeguvudde gusanyuka, n’olulimi lwange ne lukutendereza. Era n’omubiri gwange gunaabeeranga mu ssuubi.
"Therefore my heart is glad, my tongue exults, my very body also shall pitch its tent in hope.
"For thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, Nor give up thy Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Wandaga amakubo g’obulamu, era olinzijuza essanyu nga ndi mu maaso go.’
"Thou hast made known to me the paths of life, Thou wilt fill me with gladness in thy presence.
29 “Abasajja abooluganda, nnyinza okwogera n’obuvumu gye muli ku bifa ku jjajjaffe Dawudi nga yafa n’aziikibwa, era n’amalaalo ge weegali ne kaakano.
"Men and brothers, I can speak plainly to you concerning the patriarch David, because he not only died and was buried, but his tomb is among us even to this very day.
30 Naye Dawudi yali nnabbi, n’amanya nga Katonda yamulayirira ekirayiro, nti mu bibala eby’omu ntumbwe ze mwe muliva alituula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwe,
"Because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath that of the fruit of his loins he would set one on his throne,
31 bwe yakiraba olubereberye nayogera ku kuzuukira kwa Kristo nga teyalekebwa magombe so nga n’omubiri gwe tegwavunda. (Hadēs g86)
"he, foreseeing this, spoke of the resurrection of Christ that neither was he left in Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Yesu oyo Katonda yamuzuukiza, era ffe ffenna tuli bajulirwa.
This Jesus God has raised up, of this we are all witnesses.
33 Awo bwe yagulumizibwa n’alaga ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda, n’aweebwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu eyamusuubizibwa Kitaffe, n’alyoka atuwa kino nammwe kye mwerabiddeko era kye mwewuliriddeko.
Since he is by the mighty hand of God exalted, and has received from his Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured forth this which you now see and hear.
34 Kubanga Dawudi teyalinnya mu ggulu, naye agamba nti, “‘Mukama yagamba Mukama wange nti, “Tuula ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo,
For David did not ascend into heaven; but he himself said, "The Lord said to my Lord Sit thou on my right hand
35 okutuusa lwe ndifuula abalabe bo entebe y’ebigere byo.”’
"Until I make thine enemies A footstool under thy feet.
36 “Noolwekyo ennyumba yonna eya Isirayiri, bamanyire ddala nti oyo Yesu gwe mwakomerera ku musaalaba, Katonda yamufuula Mukama era Kristo!”
"Therefore let the whole House of Israel know assuredly that Gods has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you have crucified."
37 Awo bwe baawuulira ebigambo ebyo, emitima ne gibaluma, ne bagamba Peetero n’abatume abalala, nti, “Abooluganda, kiki kye tusaanidde okukola?”
When they heard these words they were stung to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles. "Men and brothers, what shall we do?"
38 Peetero n’abagamba nti, “Mwenenye, buli omu ku mmwe abatizibwe mu linnya lya Yesu Kristo musonyiyibwe ebibi byammwe, olwo nammwe mujja kufuna ekirabo ekya Mwoyo Mutukuvu.
"Repent," answered Peter, "and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Kubanga ekisuubizo kiri eri mmwe n’eri abaana bammwe, n’eri bonna abali mu nsi ezeewala abalikoowoola Mukama Katonda waffe.”
"For the promise belongs to you and to your children and to all who are afar off, whomever the Lord may call."
40 Awo Peetero n’abategeeza mu bigambo ebirala bingi n’ababuulira ng’agamba nti mulokolebwe okuva mu mulembe guno ogwakyama.
With many other words he continued to bear testimony, and kept entreating them, saying, "Save yourselves from this perverse generation."
41 Awo abo abakkiriza ebigambo bye ne babatizibwa ku lunaku olwo ne beeyongerako ng’enkumi ssatu.
Then those who welcomed his message were baptized, and in that day about three thousand souls were added to them;
42 Ne banyiikiranga okuyigirizibwa kw’abatume ne mu kussekimu, ne mu kumenya omugaati era ne mu kusaba.
and they stedfastly continued in the teaching of the apostles, and in the fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers.
43 Buli muntu n’ajjula okutya era ebyamagero bingi n’obubonero bungi ne bikolebwanga abatume.
And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were wrought by the apostles.
44 Abakkiriza ne bakuŋŋaananga bulijjo mu kifo kimu, ne baba nga bassa kimu mu byonna.
And all the believers were together, and had all things in common.
45 Eby’obugagga byabwe n’ebintu bye baalina ne babitunda ne bagabira buli muntu ng’okwetaaga kwe bwe kwabanga.
They would sell their lands and other property, and distribute the proceeds among all, just as any one from time had need.
46 Ne banyiikiranga okukuŋŋaananga mu Yeekaalu buli lunaku, era ne bakuŋŋaananga ne mu maka gaabwe nju ku nju okumenya omugaati, ne baliiranga wamu emmere yaabwe n’essanyu lingi n’omutima ogutalina bukuusa,
Day after day they continued stedfastly with one accord in the Temple; and breaking bread together in their own homes, they continued to eat their food with gladness and an undivided heart,
47 nga batendereza Katonda, era nga basiimibwa abantu bonna. Mukama n’abongerangako bulijjo abaalokolebwanga.
praising God, and looked on with favor by all the people. Meanwhile the Lord kept adding to them daily those that were being saved.
