Imbombo zya Atume 2
1 Nalyahafiha isiku elye Pentekoste, bhonti bhabhongene pandwemo.
In the course of the Festival at the close of the Harvest the disciples had all met together,
2 Gwahabhafumila ungulumo afume humwanya neshi ugwihala ehali. Gwamema munyumba yonti mwabhakheye.
when suddenly there came from the heavens a noise like a strong wind rushing by; it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
3 Zyahabhafumila emele neshi, zigabhanyishe nabhe pamwanya ya shila muntu (pitwe).
Then there appeared tongues of what seemed to be flame, separating, so that one settled on each of them;
4 Bhonti bhapata Umpepo Ufinjile bhahanda ayanje enjango ezyenje neshi Umpepo shasungwilwe umwene.
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit prompted their utterances.
5 Bhahali ayahudi bhabhakhalaga mu Yelusalemu bhabhaputaga bhabhafuma shila nsi pansi.
Now there were then staying in Jerusalem religious Jews from every country in the world;
6 Ungulumo gula nabhahunvwa abhantu bhahabhungana ahwenze atejelezye bhahabha ne wasiwasi shila muntu ahumnwizye bhayanga hunjango yakwe yuyo.
and, when this sound was heard, numbers of people collected, in the greatest excitement, because each of them heard the disciples speaking in his own language.
7 bhonti bhahaswiga bhahaga ebha bhonti se bha hu Galilaya bhabha yanga epa?
They were utterly amazed, and kept asking in astonishment, “What! Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
8 Yeenu ate tibhumvwa hunjango yetu yatapipwe nayo?
Then how is it that we each of us hear them in our own language?
9 Waparthia na Waamedi na Waelamu, nebho bhabhakhala hu Mesopotamia, no Uyahudi, na Kapadokia, no hu Ponto nu hu Asia,
Some of us are Parthians, some Medes, some Elamites; and some of us live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Roman Asia,
10 hu Frigia, Pamfilia, no hu Misri, na hula hu Libya paka hu Kirene, na bhajenu bhonti bhabhafumile hu Rumi,
in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the districts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; some of us are visitors from Rome,
11 Ayahudi na bhaongofu, Abhakrete bhonti tubhomvwa nazyo bhatambula embombo engosi Ungulubhi zyabhomba.”
either Jews by birth or converts, and some are Cretans and Arabians – yet we all alike hear them speaking in our own languages of the great things that God has done.”
12 Bhonti bhaswiga sebhahazyaganya mwitwe; hahanda abhuzanye bhene, “Eshi hwa huje yeenu?”
They were all utterly amazed and bewildered. “What does it mean?” they asked one another.
13 Lelo bhamo bhahatanila bhahaga, “Ebha bhakholilwe.”
But there were some who said with a sneer, “They have had too much new wine.”
14 Lelo uPetro ahimilila pandwemo na bhala ilongo na woka nabhabhule huje mwe mubhantu mwenti mwa mukhala hu Yudea namwe mwenti mwamukhala epa pa Yerusalemu, muntejelezye enongwa zyane muzizingatizye humoyo genyu.
Then Peter, surrounded by the eleven other apostles, stood up, and, raising his voice, addressed the crowd. “People of Judea,” he began, “and all you who are staying in Jerusalem, let me tell you what this means. Mark well my words.
15 Abhantu ebha sebhakholilwe neshi shamuibha, esala ezi saa tatu zyashampwiti.
These people are not drunk, as you suppose; for it is only now nine in the morning! No!
16 Lelo mumanye huje ezi zyazila zyazyayangwilwe no ukuwe uYoeli;
This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel –
17 Zyaibha ensiku ezya humalishilo; ayanga Ungulubhi, naibhitila Umpepo Ufinjile abhantu bhonti. Abhana bhenyu asahala na lendu bhaikuwa, abhana bhenyu bhailola embonesyo, na gogolo bhailota enjozi.
‘It will come about in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; your sons and your daughters will become prophets, your young men will see visions, and your old men dream dreams;
18 Nantele abhomba mbombo bhane abhashe ehaibhitila Umpepo wane bhope bhaikuwa.
yes, even on the slaves – for they are mine – both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit, and they will become prophets;
19 Naibhalanga enswijizyo humwanya ne mbonesyo pansi pa dunia, idanda, umwoto, na tukusye elyosi.
and I will show wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth below – blood and fire and mist of smoke;
20 Ni sanya lyaigaluha hisi no mwezi abhe lidanda, salisele ahwinze isiku Igosi lya Ngulubhi.
the sun will become darkness, and the moon blood-red, before the day of the Lord comes – that great and awful day.
21 ehaibha shila muntu yailikwizya itawa la Ngulubhi ayokoha.'
Then will everyone who invokes the name of the Lord be saved.’
22 Mubhantu mubhi Israeli, umvwi enongwa ezi: U Yesu wa hu Nazareti, Ungulubhi yabhasaluliye na hulete hulimwe ne mbombo engosi Ungulubhi zyabhombile ashilile hwa mwene, namwe mwazilolile namwe muzimenye zyonti zyabhombile-
People of Israel, listen to what I am saying. Jesus of Nazareth, a man whose mission from God to you was proved by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God showed among you through him, as you know full well –
23 Lelo hunongwa ya mapango gakwe gapanjile afume hale nenjele zyakwe Ungulubhi, aje aihufumya humakhono ga bhantu aabhibhi ananzi, namwe mwahabuda,
he, I say, in accordance with God’s definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death.
24 Ungulubhi umwene ahazyusya ahayefwa enfwa muhati yakwe kwa sababu seyaweze hene aje enfwa etabhaale.
But God released him from the pangs of death and raised him to life, it being impossible for death to retain its hold on him.
25 U Daudi ayanjile ajile, 'Nahalolile Ugosi wane hwitagalila lyane, umwene ali hukhono gwane ulilo sembahwogope.
Indeed he was the one David was referring to when he said – ‘I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, for he stands at my right hand, so that I should not be disquieted.
26 Umwoyo gwane gwahasungwa nu mele gwane gwasungwilwe. Gwope ubili gwane gwaikhala ni khone.
Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;
27 Subhaguleshe umwoyo gwane gubhale hwazimu, nantele subhahuleshe ubhomba mbombo waho alole uvunzu. (Hadēs g86)
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Awe umbunisizye idala elye womi; ubhandeshe ememe uluseshelo humaso gaho.'
You have shown me the path to life, you will fill me with gladness in your presence.’
29 Bhaholo, bhane enjanje ezya ise wetu u Daudi: umwene afwiye asyelelwe nenkungwa yakwe ehweli hulite mpaka asanyunu eshi.
Friends, I can speak to you the more confidently about the patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.
30 Umwene ali kuwe na amenye huje Ungulubhi alapile hundapo zyakwe huje ahaihubhiha umo umwana wakwe hwitengo lyakwe elye umwene.
David, then, prophet as he was, knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants on his throne, looked into the future,
31 Eli alilolile shansele, nantele ayanjile huje aizyuha uYesu Kilisiti, 'sigalehwilwe hwazimu nu bili gwakwe sigagwavundile.' (Hadēs g86)
and referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that he had not been abandoned to Hades, nor had his body undergone corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Unu uYesu - Ungulubhi azyusizye, nate tili bhaketi bhakwe.
It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.
33 Eshi uYesu ali hukhono ulilo ugwa Ngulubhi, nantele ayejeleye ulaganyo ulwa Umpepo Ufinjile afume hwa Yise wakwe, asuhinye ululagano olu hulite neshi shamulola na hwumvwe.
And now that he has been exalted to the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, he has begun to pour out that gift, as you yourselves now see and hear.
34 Umwene uDaudi sigalushile abhale humwanya, lelo ajile, 'OGOSI (Ungulubhi) wane ayanjile hwa Gosi wane,
It was not David who went up into heaven; for he himself says – ‘The Lord said to my master, “Sit on my right hand,
35 “khala hukhono gwane ulilo, mpaka nehaibhabheha elyakhalile na khanyena manama gaho.
Until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.”’
36 Aisraeli bhonti bhamanye huje uYesu unu yabhabudile Ungulubhi abhishile aje abhe Gosi ashile Agosi bhonti abhamunsi.”
So let the whole nation of Israel know beyond all doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ – this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 Nabhumvwa isho enongwa zyabhalasa humwoyo gabho, bhabhabhuzya aPetro na bhamwabho tikhonzye wili eshi?”
When the people heard this, they were conscience-smitten, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Friends, what can we do?”
38 U Petro waga, “Mulambe mwoziwe, shila muntu hwitawa lya Yesu Kristi muposhele ulusajilo ulwe mbibhi zyenyu, namwe mubhaposhe Umpepo Ufinjile.
“Repent,” answered Peter, “and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Olu olulagano lwenyu na bhana bhenyu na bhantu bhabhali uhutali na bhaala bhonti bhabhaikwiziwa nu Ngulubhi aje bhinze.”
For the promise is for you and for your children, and also for all those now far away, who may be called by the Lord our God.”
40 Hunongwa ezya mwabho ajile hwi ponii na bhantu bhensiku ezi abhe mbibhi.”
Peter spoke to them for a long time using many other arguments and pleaded with them – “Save yourselves from the perverse spirit of this age.”
41 Abhantu bhazyeteha enongwa zila bhoziwa abhantu elfu zitatu ikanisa lyahonjelela.
So those who accepted his teaching were baptized, and about three thousand people joined the disciples on that day alone.
42 Bhahendelela adiile mumanyizyo zya atumwe bha Yesu bhali nu umoja, bhalyanga pandwimo na puute pandwimo.
They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the Common life of the church, to the breaking of the bread and to the Prayers.
43 Uwoga wahabhinjila abhantu ne mbombo ezyaswijizye zyahabhoneha Ungulubhi zyabhombile ashilile hwa tumwe bhakwe.
A deep impression was made on everyone, and many wonders and signs were done at the hands of the apostles.
44 Bhonti bhabhahitishie izu lya Ngulubhi bhahakhalaga pandwimo ne vintu vyabhali navyo vyali vya bhonti,
All who became believers in Christ held everything for the common use;
45 evintu vyabhali navyo bhakazyaga bhagabhilaga shila muntu shahanzaga.
they sold their property and their goods, and shared the proceeds among them all, according to their individual needs.
46 Ensiku zyonti bhali nu mwoyo gumo mushibhanza, bhamensulaga amabumunda mukhaya nalye eshalye shobho nuluseshelo nu mwoyo ugolosu;
Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the Temple Courts, and to the breaking of bread at their homes, while they partook of their food in simple-hearted gladness, praising God, and winning the goodwill of all the people.
47 bhalumbaga Ungulubhi bhakonde lwe na bhanti bhonti. Shila lisiku abhantu bhahonjelelelaga mushibhanza bhaala bhabhahokahaga.
And the Lord daily added to their company those who were in the path of salvation.
