Matendu 2
1 Ligono la Pentekoste palahikili vamsadika voha vakonganiki pandu pamonga.
When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers were in the same place with one accord.
2 Chighafula, lwami lukayuwanika kuhuma kunani ngati chimbungululu chivaha, chikamema nyumba yoha yevatamili.
Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Kangi, vikahumila vindu vyevyawonikini ngati lulimi lwa motu, lukalekengana na kutula panani ya kila mmonga wavi.
Divided tongues that looked like fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.
4 Voha vakamemeswa Mpungu Msopi na kutumbula kujova luga ndalindali ngati Mpungu cheavahotwisi.
Then they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Na ku Yelusalemu kwavi na Vayawudi, vandu vevakumtopesa Chapanga vevahumila kila likabila pamulima.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven dwelling in Jerusalem.
6 Pevayuwini lwami lula, msambi uvaha wa vandu ukakonganeka. Voha vakakenyemuka neju muni kila mmonga wavi avayuwini vandu vala vijova kwa luga yaki mwene.
When this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and they were bewildered because each one of them heard his own language being spoken.
7 Vakavya na chinamtiti na kukangasa vakajova, “Wu, ava vetikuvayuwana, lepi vakolonjinji va ku Galilaya!
They were all astonished and amazed, saying to one another, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 Hinu, yivi wuli, tete kuvayuwana kila mmonga ijova kwa luga yaki mwene?
How then do we each hear them in our own native languages?
9 Pagati yitu vavi vandu kuhuma ku Paliti vangi ku Medi na vangi ku Elami na vangi vakolonjinji va Mesopotamia na Yudea na Kapodokia na Ponto na Asia,
Parthians, Medes, Elamites; those who dwell in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Flugia na Pamfulia na Misili na vangi kuhuma Libiya papipi na Kulene na vangi vitu ndi vayehe kuhuma ku Loma,
Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya that are near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism),
11 Vayawudi na vangalikuvya Vayawudi, nambu vilanda njila ya kumuyupa Chapanga ya Vayawudi, vangi vahumili ku Kilete na Alabia. Tavete tikuvayuwana vijova kwa luga zitu ndi matendu gakulu ga Chapanga.”
Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking about the mighty acts of God in our own tongues.”
12 Voha vakakangasa na kuvagaya kuni vikotana, “Yeniyi mana yaki kiki?”
And they were all amazed and greatly perplexed, saying to one another, “What could this mean?”
13 Nambu vangi vakavavevesa vakajova, “Vandu ava vagalili ugimbi!”
But others scoffed at the believers, saying, “They are filled with new wine.”
14 Kangi Petili akayima pamonga na vamitumi kumi na mmonga vala akatumbula kuvakokosela vandu. Valongo Vayawudi na mwavoha nyenye mwemwitama ku Yelusalemu, myuwanila malovi gangu.
Then Peter stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and declared to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.
15 Lepi chemwihololela vandu ava vagalili muni ndi saa yidatu ya lukela.
These men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day.
16 Nambu lijambu lenili ndi chakaka lelalongaliki na Yoeli mweavili mlota wa Chapanga.
But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 Bambu ijova, mumagono gala gamwishu, nikuvamemesa Mpungu wangu vandu voha, vana vinu vagosi na vadala yati vilota ulota wa Chapanga, vasongolo vinu yati vilola maono, na vagogo vinu yati vilota munjozi.
‘In the last days, says God, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
18 Ena, hati vatumisi vangu, voha vagosi na vadala, yati nikuvapela Mpungu wangu navene yati vilotela.
Even upon my male and female servants I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19 Yati nikita gachinamtiti kunani, na kukita milangisu pahi pamulima. Yati kwiva na ngasi, motu na lyohi litopanu.
I will perform wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below: blood, fire, and mist of smoke.
20 Lilanga yati ligubikwa na chitita, na mwehi walavya mdung'u ngati ngasi, kwakona kuhumila ligono likulu la ukulu wa Bambu.
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 Mewawa mundu yoyoha mweiyupa kwa liina la Bambu yati isanguliwa.
And everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 “Vandu va Isilaeli myuwanila! Yesu wa ku Nazaleti avi mundu, uhotola waki wa uchapanga walangisi kwinu kwa gachinamtiti na makangaso na milangisu. Chapanga yeahengili kwa nyenye kwa njila yaki, ngati mwavene chemwimanya.
“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did through him in your midst, just as you yourselves well know,
23 Ndava ya mpangu waki mwene Chapanga, amali kuhamula kuvya Yesu agotolewa kwa nyenye, na mwavene mwamkomili kwa kuvaleka vandu vahakau vamkoma na kumvamba mu msalaba.
this man, who was delivered up by the deliberate plan and foreknowledge of God, you took and put to death, having him nailed to the cross by the hands of lawless men.
24 Nambu Chapanga amyukisi kuhuma kwa vevafwili, amsangwili kuhuma mu mvinisu wa lifwa, ndava muni yihotoleka lepi lifwa limkunga.
But God raised him up, releasing him from the pangs of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
25 Muni Daudi ajovili aga kumvala mwene, ‘Namuwene Bambu palongolo yangu lukumbi lwoha, avi pamonga na nene upandi wa kulyelela, hati ninyugusika lepi.
For David says about him, ‘I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.
26 Ndi muni mtima wangu waganisiwi, na kululuta kwa luheku. Hati higa yangu, yati yitama kwa kuhuvalila,
Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced; moreover, my flesh will dwell in hope.
For yoʋ will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will yoʋ let yoʋr Holy One see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Unilangisi njila za wumi, ndava ya kuvya kwaku unimemisi luheku.’”
Yoʋ have made known to me the paths of life; yoʋ will fill me with joy by yoʋr presence.’
29 “Valongo vangu, nigana kuvajovela hotohoto kumvala mambu gegampatili gogo witu Daudi. Mwene afwili na kuzikiwa na litinda laki livii kwitu mbaka lelu.
“Brothers, I can say to you with confidence concerning our patriarch David that he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 Nambu Daudi ndava avili mlota wa Chapanga amanyili kuvya Chapanga amlapakisi kwa lilaganu yati akumhagula mmonga wa chiveleku waki kuvya nkosi pahali paki.
So then, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn an oath to him that from among his descendants, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
31 Daudi agaweni kwakona mambu aga gegihengeka na Chapanga, hinu akajova ndava ya kuyuka kwa Kilisitu, lukumbi peajovili, ‘Nakulekewa mu litinda la mbugu, higa yaki yawoli lepi.’ (Hadēs g86)
David foresaw what would happen and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, saying that his soul was not abandoned to Hades and that his flesh did not see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Chapanga amyukisi Yesu na tavoha tete ndi vetijova ndava ya lijambu lenilo.
This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
33 Yesu peamali kukweswa na kuvikwa upandi wa kulyelela wa Chapanga ndi akapokela kuhuma kwa Dadi, Mpungu Msopi yula mweatiahidi, atimemimisi Mpungu wene. Chenicho ndi chetikuchiwona hinu na kuyuwana.
Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you now see and hear.
34 Muni Daudi nakukwela mbaka kunani kwa Chapanga, muni ngamwene ajovili, ‘Bambu amjovili Bambu wangu, tama upandi wangu wa kulyela,
For David did not ascend to heaven, but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand
35 mbaka penikuvavika makoko gaku kuvya chigoda cha kuvikila magendelu gaku.’”
until I make yoʋr enemies a footstool for yoʋr feet.”’
36 “Vandu voha va Isilaeli viganikiwa kumanya kwa uchakaka kuvya Yesu mwenuyo mwevamkomili na kumvamba mu msalaba, ndi Chapanga amviki kuvya Bambu na Kilisitu.”
Therefore, let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 Hinu, vandu pavagayuwini genago, mitima yawavinili, vakavakota Petili na pamonga na vamitumi vayaki. “Valongo vitu tikita wuli?”
When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38 Petili akavayangula, “Mumuwuyila Chapanga na kila mmonga winu abatiziwa kwa liina la Yesu Kilisitu, muni mulekekesewayi kubumdila Chapanga na kupokela njombi yila ya Mpungu Msopi.
Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Muni lilaganu lila lavi ndava yinu na ndava ya vana vinu na ndava ya voha vevitama kutali ndava ya kila mundu mweikemiwa na Bambu Chapanga witu.”
For this promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God calls to himself.”
40 Kwa malovi gangi gamahele, Petili avajovili hotohoto vandu “Vajisangula na chiveleku ichi chihakau.”
With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation.”
41 Vamahele pagati yavi vagasadiki malovi ga Petili na kubatiziwa, na vandu vevayonjokisiki vavi ngati elufu zidatu ligono lenilo.
Then those who gladly received his word were baptized, and about three thousand souls were added on that day.
42 Venavo voha vayendalili kujiwula kuhuma kwa vamitumi na kutama pamonga cha lukolo, kulya pamonga na kumuyupa kwa Chapanga.
And they devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
43 Gachinamtiti na makangaso gamahele gahengiki munjila ya vamitumi hati kila mmonga akakangaswa.
A sense of awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles.
44 Vamsadika voha vayendalili kuvya chindu chimonga na vindu vyavi vatangatilanayi kwa pamonga.
All who believed were together and had all things in common.
45 Vavi mukugulisa kila chindu pamonga na kangi kugavana mashonga kuwanangana ngati avi na la liganu la mmonga wavi.
They were selling their possessions and belongings, and distributing the proceeds to all, as anyone had need.
46 Kila ligono vayendalili kukonganeka pamonga Munyumba ya Chapanga. Mewa lukumbi lwa kulya vakonganiki pamonga munyumba zavi na vilya kwa luheku na mtima wa msopi.
Day by day as they continued meeting together with one accord in the temple courts and breaking bread from house to house, they shared food together with gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 Vakamulumbalila Chapanga, vakaganwa na vandu voha. Kila ligono Bambu akavayonjokesela mu msambi vandu vevasanguliwi.
praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
