Matendo 2
1 Ilipofika siku ya Pentekoste, wote walikuwa pamoja sehemu moja.
And while fulfilling the day of Pentecost, they were all together at the same place.
2 Ghafla ikatokea muungurumo kutoka mbinguni kama upepo mkali. ukaijaza nyumba yote walimokuwa wameketi.
And suddenly there developed a sound from the sky as of a forceful wind moving, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
3 Hapo zikawatokea ndimi, kama ndimi za moto zimegawanyika, zikawa juu yao kila mmoja wao.
And there appeared to them dividing tongues, as of fire, and they settled upon each one of them.
4 Wao wote wakajazwa na Roho Mtakatifu na wakaanza kusema kwa lugha zingine, kama vile Roho alivyowajalia kusema.
And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to declare.
5 Sasa walikuwapo wayahudi waliokuwa wanaishi Yerusalemu, wacha Mungu, kutoka kila taifa chini ya mbingu.
Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6 Ngurumo hizi ziliposikiwa, kundi la watu likaja pamoja na wakiwa na wasiwasi kwa sababu kila mtu aliwasikia wakiongea kwa lugha yake mwenyewe.
And the sound of this that happened brought the multitude together. And it was bewildered because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 waliduwaa na kushangazwa, wao walisema, “Kweli, hawa wote wanaoongea siyo Wagalilaya?
And they were amazed and marveled, saying to each other, Behold, are not all these men who speak Galileans?
8 Kwa nini sisi tunawasikia, kila mmoja katika lugha tulizozaliwa nazo?
And how do we each hear our own language in which we were born?
9 Waparthia na Wamedi na Waelamu, na hao waishio Mesopotamia, Uyahudi, na Kapadokia, na katika Ponto na Asia,
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, and Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 katika Frigia, Pamfilia, katika Misri, na sehemu ya Libya hata Kirene, na wageni kutoka Rumi,
and Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya along Cyrene, and those Roman aliens, including Jews and proselytes,
11 Wayahudi na waongofu, Wakrete na Waarabu, tunawasikia wakizungumza katika lugha zetu kuhusu kazi za uweza wa Mungu.”
Cretes and Arabians. We hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.
12 Wote walikuwa wameduwaa na kutatanishwa; walisemezana wao kwa wao, “Hii ina maana gani?”
And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, others saying to others, Whatever does this intend to be?
13 Lakini wengine walidhihaki wakisema, “Hawa wamejazwa kwa mvinyo mpya.”
But others, mocking said, They are filled of wine.
14 Lakini Petro akasimama pamoja na wale kumi na mmoja, akapaza sauti, akawaambia, “Watu wa Yudea na wote mnaoishi hapa Yerusalemu, hili lijulikane kwenu, sikilizeni kwa makini maneno yangu.
But Peter having stood up with the eleven, raised his voice and spoke out to them, saying, Jewish men, and all who dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and listen to my sayings.
15 Watu hawa hawajalewa kama mnavyodhani, sababu saa hizi ni asubuhi saa tatu.
For these men are not drunken, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.
16 Lakini hili lilikuwa limesemwa kupitia kwa nabii Yoeli:
But this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 Itakuwa katika siku za mwisho; Mungu asema, nitamwaga Roho wangu kwa watu wote. Wana wenu na binti zenu watatoa unabii, vijana wenu wataona maono, na wazee wenu wataota ndoto.
And it will be in the last days, says God, I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your elders will dream dreams.
18 Vilevile juu ya watumishi wangu na watumishi wangu wa kike katika siku hizo, nitamwaga Roho wangu, nao watatabiri.
And also on my bondmen and on my bondmaids in those days I will pour out from my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 Nitaonesha maajabu juu angani na ishara chini duniani, damu, moto, na mafusho ya moshi.
And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 Na jua litabadilishwa kuwa giza na mwezi kuwa damu, kabla haijaja siku kuu na ya ajabu ya Bwana.
The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and wonderful day of the Lord comes.
21 itakuwa ya kwamba kila mmoja ambaye huliitia jina la Bwana ataokoka.'
And it will be, that every man, whoever may call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
22 Watu wa Israeli, sikieni maneno haya: Yesu wa Nazareti, mwanadamu aliyethibitishwa na Mungu kwenu kwa matendo ya uweza na maajabu, na ishara ambazo Mungu kupitia Yeye katikati yenu, kama ninyi wenyewe mnavyojua-
Men, Israelites, hear ye these words. Jesus the Nazarene, a man shown by God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know,
23 Kwa sababu ya mpango uliokusudiwa tangu mwanzo, na maarifa ya Mungu, alitolewa, na ninyi, kwa mikono ya watu wahalifu, mlimsulibisha na kumuua,
this man, having been designated (by the purpose and foreknowledge of God) a man delivered up, ye, having taken by lawless hands, killed, having crucified,
24 ambaye Mungu alimwinua, akauondoa uchungu wa mauti kwake, kwasababu haikuwezekana kwake kumilikiwa na huo.
whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
25 Hivyo Daudi anasema kuhusu yeye, 'Nilimwona Bwana daima mbele ya uso wangu, yeye yuko mkono wangu wa kulia hivyo basi sitasogezwa.
For David speaks for him: I beheld the Lord always before me, because he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved.
26 Kwa hiyo moyo wangu ulikuwa na furaha na ulimi wangu ulifurahishwa. Pia mwili wangu utaishi katika ujasiri.
Because of this my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad. And moreover my flesh will also rest in hope.
Because thou will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will thou give thy Holy man to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Wewe umedhihirisha kwangu njia za uzima; utanifanya nijae furaha mbele ya uso wako.'
Thou made known to me the paths of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
29 Ndugu, ninaweza kuzungumza kwenu kwa ujasiri kuhusu baba yetu Daudi: yeye alikufa na akazikwa, na kaburi lake liko pamoja nasi hata hivi leo.
Men, brothers, being permitted to speak to you with openness about the patriarch David, that he both perished and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day.
30 Hivyo, alikuwa nabii na alijua kuwa Mungu alishaapa kwa kiapo kwake, kwamba ataweka mmoja katika uzao wake kwenye kiti cha enzi.
Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, to raise the Christ from the fruit of his loins according to flesh to sit upon his throne.
31 Aliliona hili mapema, na akasema kuhusu ufufuo wa Kristo, 'wala alikuwa hakuachwa kuzimu, wala mwili wake haukuoza.' (Hadēs g86)
Having foreseen this, he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left behind in Hades, nor did his flesh see decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Huyu Yesu - Mungu alimfufua, ambaye sisi wote ni mashahidi.
This Jesus, God raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
33 Kwa hiyo, akiwa ameinuliwa katika mkono wa kuume wa Mungu, na akiwa amepokea ahadi ya Roho Mtakatifu kutoka kwa Baba, yeye amemimina hii ahadi, ambaye ninyi mnaona na kusikia.
Therefore, exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out this that ye now see and hear.
34 Kwani Daudi hakupaa kwenda mbinguni, lakini anasema, 'BWANA alisema kwa Bwana wangu,
For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand
35 “keti mkono wangu wa kulia, mpaka nitakapowafanya adui zako kigoda kwa ajili ya miguu yako.
until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
36 Kwa hiyo nyumba yote ya Israeli na ijue kwa hakika kwamba Mungu amemfanya Yeye kuwa Bwana na Kristo, huyu Yesu ambaye mlimsulibisha.”
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Sasa waliposikia hivyo, wakachomwa katika mioyo yao, wakamwambia Petro na mitume wengine, “Ndugu, tufanyeje?”
Now having heard this, they were pierced in the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, Men, brothers, what will we do?
38 Na Petro akawaambia, “Tubuni na Mbatizwe, kila mmoja wenu, katika jina la Yesu Kristo kwa ajili ya msamaha wa dhambi zenu, na mtapokea zawadi ya Roho Mtakatifu.
And Peter said to them, Repent ye, and be immersed each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Kwani kwenu ni ahadi na kwa watoto wenu na kwa wale wote walioko mbali, watu wengi kwa kadri Bwana Mungu wetu atakavyowaita.”
For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those in afar, as many as the Lord our God may call.
40 Kwa maneno mengi alishuhudia na kuwasihi; alisema, “Jiokoeni mtoke katika kizazi hiki kiovu.”
And with many more other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this crooked generation.
41 Ndipo wakayapokea maneno yake na wakabatizwa, hapo wakaongezeka katika siku hiyo kama nafsi elfu tatu.
Indeed therefore those who received his word gladly, were immersed. And there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
42 Wakaendelea katika mafundisho ya mitume na ushirikiano, katika kuumega mkate na katika maombi.
And they were continuing steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, and in fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and the prayers.
43 Hofu ikaja juu ya kila nafsi, na maajabu mengi na ishara zikafanyika kupitia mitume.
And fear developed in every soul. And many wonders and signs occurred through the apostles.
44 Wote walioamini walikuwa pamoja na kuwa na vitu vyao kwa pamoja,
And all who believed were together, and had all things common.
45 na waliuza vitu na milki zao na kugawanya kwa wote kulingana na hitaji la kila mmoja.
And they sold properties and possessions, and divided them to all, according as any man had need.
46 Hivyo siku baada ya siku waliendelea wakiwa na lengo moja katika hekalu, na walimega mkate kwenye kaya, na walishiriki chakula kwa furaha na unyenyekevu wa moyo;
And continuing steadfastly, daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of nourishment in gladness and evenness of heart,
47 walimsifu Mungu na wakiwa na kibali na watu wote. Bwana aliwaongeza siku kwa siku ambao walikuwa wakiokolewa.
praising God, and having favor with the whole populace. And the Lord was adding to the church daily those being saved.
