Matendo 2
1 Siku ya Pentekoste ilipowadia, waamini wote walikuwa mahali pamoja.
Whe the fyftith daye was come they were all with one accorde togeder in one place.
2 Ghafula sauti kama mvumo mkubwa wa upepo mkali uliotoka mbinguni ukaijaza nyumba yote walimokuwa wameketi.
And sodenly ther cam a sounde from heaven as it had bene the comminge of a myghty wynde and it filled all the housse where they sate.
3 Zikatokea ndimi kama za moto zilizogawanyika na kukaa juu ya kila mmoja wao.
And ther appered vnto them cloven tonges lyke as they had bene fyre and it sate vpon eache of them:
4 Wote wakajazwa na Roho Mtakatifu, wakaanza kunena kwa lugha nyingine, kama Roho alivyowajalia.
and they were all filled with the holy goost and beganne to speake with other tonges even as the sprete gave them vtteraunce.
5 Basi walikuwepo Yerusalemu Wayahudi wanaomcha Mungu kutoka kila taifa chini ya mbingu.
And ther were dwellinge at Ierusalem Iewes devoute men which were of all nacions vnder heaven.
6 Waliposikia sauti hii, umati wa watu ulikusanyika pamoja wakistaajabu, kwa sababu kila mmoja wao aliwasikia wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe.
When this was noysed aboute the multitude came to gether and were astonyed because that every man hearde the speake his awne touge.
7 Wakiwa wameshangaa na kustaajabu wakauliza, “Je, hawa wote wanaozungumza si Wagalilaya?
They wondred all and marveyled sayinge amoge them selves: Beholde are not all these which speake of Galile?
8 Imekuwaje basi kila mmoja wetu anawasikia wakinena kwa lugha yake ya kuzaliwa?
And how heare we every man his awne touge wherein we were boren?
9 Wapathi, Wamedi, Waelami, wakazi wa Mesopotamia, Uyahudi, Kapadokia, Ponto na Asia,
Parthians Medes and Elamytes and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia of Iury and of Capadocia of Ponthus and Asia
10 Frigia, Pamfilia, Misri na pande za Libya karibu na Kirene na wageni kutoka Rumi,
Phrigia Pamphilia and of Egypte and of the parties of Libia which is besyde Syrene and straungers of Rome Iewes and convertes
11 Wayahudi na waongofu, Wakrete na Waarabu, sote tunawasikia watu hawa wakisema mambo makuu ya ajabu ya Mungu katika lugha zetu wenyewe.”
Grekes and Arabians: we have herde them speake with oure awne tonges the greate workes of God.
12 Wakiwa wameshangaa na kufadhaika wakaulizana, “Ni nini maana ya mambo haya?”
They were all amased and wondred sayinge one to another: what meaneth this?
13 Lakini wengine wakawadhihaki wakasema, “Hawa wamelewa divai!”
Other mocked the sayinge: they are full of newe wyne.
14 Ndipo Petro akasimama pamoja na wale mitume kumi na mmoja, akainua sauti yake na kuhutubia ule umati wa watu, akasema: “Wayahudi wenzangu na ninyi nyote mkaao Yerusalemu, jueni jambo hili mkanisikilize.
But Peter stepped forth with the eleve and lift vp his voyce and sayde vnto them: Ye men of Iewrye and all ye that inhabite Ierusalem: be this knowe vnto you and with youre eares heare my wordes.
15 Hakika watu hawa hawakulewa kama mnavyodhania, kwa kuwa sasa ni saa tatu asubuhi!
These are not dronken as ye suppose: for it is yet but the thyrde houre of ye daye.
16 La, hili ni jambo lililotabiriwa na nabii Yoeli, akisema:
But this is that which was spoken by ye Prophete Iohel:
17 “‘Katika siku za mwisho, asema Mungu, nitamimina Roho wangu juu ya wote wenye mwili. Wana wenu na binti zenu watatabiri, vijana wenu wataona maono, na wazee wenu wataota ndoto.
It shalbe in the last dayes sayth God: of my sprete I will powre out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes and youre doughters shall prophesy and youre yoge men shall se visions and youre olde me shall dreme dremes.
18 Hata juu ya watumishi wangu, wanaume kwa wanawake, katika siku zile nitamimina Roho wangu, nao watatabiri.
And on my servauts and on my honde maydens I will powre out of my sprete in those dayes and they shall prophesye.
19 Nami nitaonyesha maajabu juu mbinguni, na ishara chini duniani: damu, moto, na mawimbi ya moshi.
And I will shewe wonders in heaven a bove and tokens in the erth benethe bloud and fyre and the vapour of smoke.
20 Jua litakuwa giza na mwezi utakuwa mwekundu kama damu, kabla ya kuja siku ile kuu ya Bwana iliyo tukufu.
The sunne shalbe turned into darknes and the mone into bloud before that greate and notable daye of the Lorde come.
21 Na kila mtu atakayeliitia jina la Bwana, ataokolewa.’
And it shalbe that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lorde shalbe saved.
22 “Enyi Waisraeli, sikilizeni maneno haya nisemayo: Yesu wa Nazareti alikuwa mtu aliyethibitishwa kwenu na Mungu kwa miujiza, maajabu na ishara, ambayo Mungu alitenda miongoni mwenu kupitia kwake, kama ninyi wenyewe mjuavyo.
Ye men of Israel heare these wordes. Iesus of Nazareth a ma approved of God amoge you with myracles wondres and signes which God dyd by him in ye myddes of you as ye youre selves knowe:
23 Huyu mtu akiisha kutolewa kwa shauri la Mungu lililokusudiwa kwa kujua kwake Mungu tangu zamani, ninyi, kwa mikono ya watu wabaya, mlimuua kwa kumgongomea msalabani.
him have ye taken by the hondes of vnrightewes persones after he was delivered by the determinat counsell and foreknoweledge of God and have crucified and slayne:
24 Lakini Mungu alimfufua kutoka kwa wafu akamwondolea uchungu wa mauti, kwa sababu haikuwezekana yeye kushikiliwa na nguvu za mauti.
whom God hath raysed vp and lowsed the sorowes of deeth because it was vnpossible that he shuld be holden of it.
25 Kwa maana Daudi asema kumhusu yeye: “‘Nalimwona Bwana mbele yangu daima. Kwa sababu yuko mkono wangu wa kuume, sitatikisika.
For David speaketh of him: Afore honde I sawe God alwayes before me: For he is on my ryght honde that I shuld not be moved.
26 Kwa hiyo moyo wangu unafurahia, na ulimi wangu unashangilia; mwili wangu nao utapumzika kwa tumaini.
Therfore dyd my hert reioyce and my tonge was glad. Moreover also my flesshe shall rest in hope
because thou wilt not leve my soul in hell nether wilt suffre thyne holye to se corrupcio. (Hadēs g86)
28 Umenionyesha njia za uzima, utanijaza na furaha mbele zako.’
Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe and shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce.
29 “Ndugu zangu Waisraeli, nataka niwaambie kwa uhakika kwamba baba yetu Daudi alikufa na kuzikwa, nalo kaburi lake lipo hapa mpaka leo.
Men and brethren let me frely speake vnto you of the partriarke David: For he is both deed and buryed and his sepulcre remayneth with vs vnto this daye.
30 Lakini alikuwa nabii na alijua ya kuwa Mungu alikuwa amemwahidi kwa kiapo kwamba angemweka mmoja wa wazao wake penye kiti chake cha enzi.
Therfore seinge he was a Prophet and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him that the frute of his loynes shuld sit on his seat (in that Christ shulde ryse agayne in the flesshe)
31 Daudi, akiona mambo yaliyoko mbele, akanena juu ya kufufuka kwa Kristo, kwamba hakuachwa kaburini, wala mwili wake haukuona uharibifu. (Hadēs g86)
he sawe before: and spake in the resurreccion of Christ that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether his flesse shuld se corrupcio. (Hadēs g86)
32 Mungu alimfufua huyu Yesu na sisi sote ni mashahidi wa jambo hilo.
This Iesus hath God raysyd vp wherof we all are witnesses.
33 Basi ikiwa yeye ametukuzwa kwa mkono wa kuume wa Mungu, amepokea kutoka kwa Baba ahadi ya Roho Mtakatifu, naye amemimina kile mnachoona sasa na kusikia.
Sence now that he by the right honde of God exalted is and hath receaved of the father the promyse of the holy goost he hath sheed forthe that which ye nowe se and heare.
34 Kwa kuwa Daudi hakupaa kwenda mbinguni, lakini anasema, “‘Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: “Keti mkono wangu wa kuume,
For David is not ascendyd into heave: but he sayde. The Lorde sayde to my Lorde sit on my right honde
35 hadi nitakapowaweka adui zako chini ya miguu yako.”’
vntill I make thy fooes thy fote stole.
36 “Kwa hiyo Israeli wote na wajue jambo hili kwa uhakika kwamba: Mungu amemfanya huyu Yesu, ambaye ninyi mlimsulubisha, kuwa Bwana na Kristo.”
So therfore let all the housse of Israel knowe for a suerty yt God hath made ye same Iesus whom ye have crucified lorde and Christ.
37 Watu waliposikia maneno haya yakawachoma mioyo yao, wakawauliza Petro na wale mitume wengine, “Ndugu zetu tufanye nini?”
When they hearde this they were pricked in their hertes and sayd vnto Peter and vnto the other Apostles: Ye men and brethre what shall we do?
38 Petro akawajibu, “Tubuni, mkabatizwe kila mmoja wenu kwa jina la Yesu Kristo, ili mpate kusamehewa dhambi zenu, nanyi mtapokea kipawa cha Roho Mtakatifu.
Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receave the gyfte of the holy goost.
39 Kwa kuwa ahadi hii ni kwa ajili yenu na watoto wenu, na kwa wote walio mbali, na kila mtu ambaye Bwana Mungu wetu atamwita amjie.”
For ye promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldre and to all that are afarre even as many as ye Lorde oure God shall call.
40 Petro akawaonya kwa maneno mengine mengi na kuwasihi akisema, “Jiepusheni na kizazi hiki kilichopotoka.”
And with many other wordes bare he witnes and exhorted them sayinge: Save youre selves from this vntowarde generacion.
41 Wale wote waliopokea ujumbe wa Petro kwa furaha wakabatizwa na siku ile waliongezeka watu wapatao 3,000.
Then they that gladly receaved his preachynge were baptised: and the same daye ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules.
42 Nao wakawa wanadumu katika mafundisho ya mitume, katika ushirika, katika kumega mkate na katika kusali.
And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felloushippe and in breakinge of breed and in prayer.
43 Kila mtu akaingiwa na hofu ya Mungu, nayo miujiza mingi na ishara zikafanywa na mitume.
And feare came over every soule. And many wondres and signes were shewed by the Apostles.
44 Walioamini wote walikuwa mahali pamoja, nao walikuwa na kila kitu shirika.
And all that beleved kept them selves to gedder and had all thinges comen
45 Waliuza mali zao na vitu walivyokuwa navyo, kila mtu akagawiwa kadiri ya mahitaji yake.
and solde their possessions and goodes and departed them to all men as every man had nede.
46 Siku zote kwa moyo mmoja walikutana ndani ya ukumbi wa Hekalu, wakimega mkate nyumba kwa nyumba, wakila chakula chao kwa furaha na moyo mweupe,
And they continued dayly with one acorde in the teple and brake breed in every housse and dyd eate their meate to gedder with gladnes and singlenes of hert
47 wakimsifu Mungu na kuwapendeza watu wote. Kila siku Bwana akaliongeza kanisa wale waliokuwa wakiokolewa.
praysinge God and had faveour with all the people. And the Lorde added to ye congregacion dayly soche as shuld be saved.
