Matendo ga Mitume 2
1 Paikite lisoba lya Pentekoste, bote babile pamope sehemu imo.
And, when the day of pentecost was filling up [the number of days] they were all together with one intent; —
2 Ghafla lyapitike limbonga boka kunani kati mbepo kale, ngautweliya nyumba yote mwababile batami.
When there came suddenly out of heaven a sound, just as of a mighty rushing wind, —and it filled all the house where they were sitting;
3 Hapo kabapitya lulimi, kati lulimi lwa mwoto zatigawanyika, ibile nnani yabe kila yumo wabe.
And there appeared unto them—parting asunder—tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them;
4 Bembe bote batwelilwe na Roho Mtakatifu na batumbwile baya kwa lugha yenge, kati yelo Roho atibajalia longela.
And they were all filled with Holy Spirit, and began to be speaking with other kinds of tongues just as the Spirit was giving unto them to be sounding forth.
5 Babile Ayahudi babatamage Yerusalemu bandu ba Nnongo, boka kila litaifa pae ya kumaunde.
Now there were in Jerusalem sojourning Jews, reverent men from every nation who were under heaven;
6 Nundumo paziwowanike, likundi lya bandu liisile pamope na babile ni wasiwasi kwa sababu kila mundu bayowine bakilongela kwa lugha yake mwene.
And this sound occurring the throng came together and was thrown into confusion, because each one severally heard in his own language them who were speaking;
7 Batisangala muno, bembe kababaya, “Kweli aba bote balongela Baagalilaya kwaa?
Yea they were beside themselves and did marvel, saying—Lo! are not all these who are speaking Galilaeans?
8 Kwa mwanja namani twayowine, kila yumo katika lugha tubelekilwe nayo?
How then do, we, hear each one in our own language in which we were born?
9 Waparthia na Bamedi na Baelamu, na bembe batama Mesopotamia, Uyahudi, na Kapadokia, na katika Ponto na Asia,
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judaea also and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 katika Frigia, Pamfilia, katika Misri, na sehemu ya Libya hata Kirene, na ageni boka Rumi,
Phrygia also and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of the Libya that is towards Cyrene, and the sojourning Romans, —both Jews and proselytes,
11 Ayahudi na baongofu, Bakrete na Baarabu, twayowa bakilongela katika lugha yitu kuhusu kazi ya uweza wa Nnongo.”
Cretans and Arabians, we do hear them speaking in our own tongues the magnificent things of God.
12 Bote babile batishangala na tatanishwa; balongela bembe, “Ayee ibile na maana gani?”
But they were all beside themselves and were utterly at a loss, saying one to another—What doth this please to be?
13 Lakini benge batidhihaki kababaya, “Aba banywile mvinyo wa ayambe.”
While, others, in mockery were saying—With sweet wine, are they drunken!
14 Lakini Petro ayemi pamope na balo komi na jimo, ngabendya kaabakiya, “Bandu ba Yudea na bote mwatama pano Yerusalemu, lee liyowanike kwinu, muliyowe kwa makini maneno gango.
But, taking his stand, Peter with the eleven lifted up his voice, and sounded out unto them—Ye men of Judaea, and all ye who are sojourning in Jerusalem! Let, this, unto you be known, and give ear unto my declarations; —
15 Bandu aga batangite kwaa kati yamugawaza, kwa sababu ayee nga bwamba wa saa tatu.
For not, as, ye, suppose, are these men drunken, for it is the third hour of the day; —
16 Lakini lee libile latilongelwa pitya kwa nabii Yoeli.
But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel—
17 Yalowa katika masoba ga mwisho, Nnongo abaya, napengana Roho bango kwa bandu bote. Bana binu na alombo binu balowa piya unabii, anchembe binu balola maono, na apindo binu walowa lota ndoto.
And it shall be, in the last days saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and, your young men, visions shall see and, your elders, in dreams shall dream, —
18 Nyonyonyo nnani ya batumishi bango ba kale katika masoba ago, naapekaniya Roho wango, bembe balowa tabiri.
And, even upon my men-servants and upon my maid-servants in those days, will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy;
19 Nalowa kuwabonekeya maajabu nnani ya'anga na ishara pae ya dunia, myai, mwoto na mapundisho ga lyoi.
And I will set forth wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath, —blood and fire and vapour of smoke:
20 Liumu lalowa badilishwa na kuwa libendo na mwei kuwa myai, kabla kuisa kwa lisoba likolo na ya ajabu ya Ngwana.
The sun, shall be turned into darkness and, the moon, into blood, —before the coming of the day of the Lord, the great and manifest [day];
21 Yalowa pangika ya kwanza kila yumo ywabile alikema lina lya Ngwana alowa lopolelwa.'
And it shall be—Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
22 Bandu ba Israeli, mugayowe maneno aga: Yesu wa Nazareti, mundu ywathibitishwa na Nnongo kwinu kwa matendo ga uweza na maajabu, na ishara ambazo Nnongo pitya ywembe katikati yinu, mana mwenga mwabene mutangite.
Ye men of Israel! hear these words: —Jesus the Nazarene, a man pointed out of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did through him in your midst, just as ye yourselves know,
23 Kwa sababu ya mpango waukusidiwa tangu mwanzo, na maarif ga Nnongo apiyilwe na mwenga, kwa maboko ga bandu baarifu, mwatikunsulubisha na kumulaga.
The same, by the marked out counsel and foreknowledge of God given up, through the hands of lawless men, suspending, ye slew,
24 Ywabile Nnongo atikundondobeya, aboyele uchungu wa kiwo chake, kwa sababu iwezekana kwaa kwake kumilikiwa nabo.
Whom, God, raised up, loosing the pangs of death, inasmuch as it was, not possible, for him to continue held fast by it.
25 Nga nyo Daudi abaya kuhusu ywembe, “Nimweni Ngwana daima nnongi ya minyo bango, ywembe abile luboko lwangi lwa mmaliyo nga nyoo bai nasogezwa kwaa.
For, David, saith concerning him—I foresaw the Lord before me continually, because he is, on my right hand, that I may not be shaken;
26 Kwa eyo mwoyo wango ubile na puraha na lulimi lwango watipuraishwa. Yega yango kae walowa tama katika ujasiri.
For this reason, was my heart made glad and my tongue exulted, —ye further, even my flesh, shall encamp on hope:
Because thou wilt not abandon my soul unto hades, neither wilt thou give thy man of lovingkindness to see corruption; (Hadēs g86)
28 Wenga utijidhihirisha kwango ndela ya ukoto, walowa nipanga nijae puraha nnongi ya minyo gako.'
Thou madest known unto me paths of life, thou wilt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.
29 Mwalongo, naweza longela kwinu kwa ujasiri kuhusu tate bitu Daudi, ywembe awile na sikwa, na kaburi lyake libile pamope ni twenga hata nambeambe.
Brethren! it is, allowable, to say with freedom of speech unto you, concerning the patriarch David, —that he both died and was buried, and, his tomb, is among us until this day.
30 Nga nyo abile nabii na atangite kuwa Nnongo atilapa kwa kilapo sake, panga alowa beka yumo katika ubeleki wake katika iteo sa enzi.
Being then, a prophet, and knowing that, with an oath, God had sworn unto him, of the fruit of his loins, to seat on his throne,
31 Alibweni lee mapema, na abayite kuhusu ufufuo wa Kristo,'wala abile alekwa kwaa kuzimu (Hadēs g86)
With foresight, spake he concerning the resurrection of the Christ—that neither was he abandoned unto hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Ayoo Yesu-Nnongo atimfufua, ambaye twenga twabote ni mashahida.
The same Jesus, hath God raised up, whereof, all we, are witnesses!
33 Kwa eyo, abile atiinulilwa katika luboko lwa kummalyo ba Nnongo, na abile atimpokya ahadi ya Roho Mtakatifu boka kwa Tate, Ywembe atimimina ahadi yee, ambaye mwenga mwabona na kuyowa.
By the right hand of God, therefore, having been exalted, also, the promise of the Holy Spirit, having received from the Father, He hath poured out this which, yourselves, do see and hear.
34 Mana Daudi angolwike kwaa yendya kumaunde, lakini abaya,'NGWANA abaya kwa Ngwana wango.
For, David, hath not ascended into the heavens; but he saith, himself, —Said the Lord unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
35 “Tama luboko lwango lwa kummalyo, mpaka panibapanga maadui bako kigoda kwa ajili ya magolo gako.
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Kwa eyo nymba yote ya Israeli na itange kwa hakika panga Nnongo abapangite ywembe kuwa Ngwana na Kristo, yolo Yesu ambaye mwatimsulubisha.”
Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know: that, both Lord and Christ, hath God made him, even the same Jesus whom, ye, crucified!
37 Pabayowine nyoo, basonywi katika mioyo yabe, kabammakiya Petro na mitume yenge, “Mwalongo, tupange namani?”
And, when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles—What are we to do, brethren?
38 Na Petro kaabakiya, “Muipange toba na Mbatizwe, kila yumo winu, katika lina lya Yesu Kristo kwa ajili ya msamaha wa sambi yinu, na mwalowa pokya zawadi ya Roho Mtakatifu.
And Peter [said] unto them—Repent ye, and let each one of you be immersed, in the name of Jesus Christ, into the remission of your sins, —and ye shall receive the free-gift of the Holy Spirit;
39 Mana kwinu ni ahadi na kwa bana binu na kwa balo bote babile kutalu, bandu banyansima kwa kadri Ngwana Nnongo witu paakema.”
For, unto you, is the promise, and unto your children, —and unto all them who are afar off: as many soever as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
40 Kwa maneno ganyansima ashuhudia na kubasihi, “Muilopwe boka katika ibeleko yee kiovu.”
And, with many different words, bare he frail witness, and went on exhorting them saying—Be saved from this perverse generation!
41 Nga kabapokii maneno gake na kaabatiza, hapo kabaongezeka katika lisoba lee kati nafsi elfu tatu.
They, therefore, who welcomed his word, were immersed; and there were added, on that day, about three thousand souls.
42 Kabayendelya katika mapundisho ya mitume na ushirikiano, katika kuumega mkate na katika maombi.
And they went on to give constant attention—unto the teaching of the apostles, and unto the fellowship, unto the breaking of bread, and unto the prayers.
43 Hofu yaisa nnani ya kila nafsi, na maajabu ganyansima na ishara zapangika pitya mitume.
And there came on every soul, fear, and, many wonders and signs, through means of the apostles, were coming to pass.
44 Bote baaminiya babile pamope na kuwa na ilebe yabembe pamope,
And, all who believed, with one accord, began to hold all things common;
45 na bapemeya ilebe na milki yabe na kugawanya kwa bote lingana na hitaji lya kila yumo.
and, their possessions and goods, were they selling and distributing them unto all, in so far as anyone had need.
46 Nga nyoo lisoba baada ya lisoba kabayendelea babile na lengo limo katika hekalu, na batiumega mkate mu'nyumba, na batishiriki chakulya kwa puraha na unyenyekevu wa mwoyo;
And, daily giving attendance with one intent in the temple and, at home, breaking bread, they were partaking of food with exultation and singleness of heart;
47 Batimsifu Nnongo na babile na kibali na bandu bote. Ngwana atibaongeza lisoba kwa lisoba ambao babile batilopolwa.
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And, the Lord, was adding them who were being saved, daily, together.
