Matendo 2
1 Siku ya Pentekoste ilipofika, waumini wote walikuwa wamekusanyika pamoja.
And while fulfilling the day of Pentecost, they were all together at the same place.
2 Ghafla, sauti ikasikika kutoka angani; sauti iliyokuwa kama ya upepo mkali, ikajaza ile nyumba yote walimokuwa wamekaa.
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 Kisha, vikatokea vitu vilivyoonekana kama ndimi za moto, vikagawanyika na kutua juu ya kila mmoja wao.
And there appeared to them dividing tongues, as of fire, and they settled upon each one of them.
4 Wote wakajazwa Roho Mtakatifu, wakaanza kusema lugha mbalimbali kadiri Roho alivyowawezesha.
And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to declare.
5 Na huko Yerusalemu walikuwako Wayahudi, watu wamchao Mungu, waliotoka katika kila nchi duniani.
Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6 Waliposikia sauti hiyo, kundi kubwa la watu lilikusanyika. Wote walishtuka sana kwani kila mmoja wao aliwasikia hao waumini wakisema 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 Walistaajabu na kushangaa, wakisema, “Je, hawa wote tunaowasikia wakisema hivi, si wenyeji wa Galilaya?
And they were amazed and marveled, saying to each other, Behold, are not all these men who speak Galileans?
8 Imekuwaje, basi, kwamba kila mmoja wetu anawasikia wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe?
And how do we each hear our own language in which we were born?
9 Baadhi yetu ni Waparthi, Wamedi na Waelami; wengine ni wenyeji wa Mesopotamia, Yudea, Kapadokia, Ponto na Asia,
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, and Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Frugia na Pamfulia, Misri na sehemu za Libya karibu na Kurene; wengine wetu ni wageni kutoka Roma,
and Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya along Cyrene, and those Roman aliens, including Jews and proselytes,
11 Wayahudi na watu walioongokea dini ya Kiyahudi; wengine wametoka Krete na Arabia. Sisi sote tunasikia wakisema kwa lugha zetu wenyewe mambo makuu ya Mungu.”
Cretes and Arabians. We hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.
12 Wote walishangaa na kufadhaika huku wakiulizana, “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 wakawadhihaki wakisema, “Watu hawa wamelewa divai mpya!”
But others, mocking said, They are filled of wine.
14 Lakini Petro alisimama pamoja na wale kumi na mmoja akaanza kuwahutubia watu kwa sauti kubwa: “Ndugu Wayahudi nanyi nyote mnaokaa hapa Yerusalemu, 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 hawakulewa kama mnavyodhani; mbona ni saa tatu tu asubuhi?
For these men are not drunken, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.
16 Ukweli ni kwamba jambo hili ni lile alilosema nabii Yoeli:
But this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 Katika siku zile za mwisho, asema Bwana, nitawamiminia binadamu wote Roho wangu. Watoto wenu, wanaume kwa wanawake, watautangaza ujumbe wangu; 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 Naam, hata watumishi wangu, wanaume kwa wanawake, nitawamiminia Roho wangu, siku zile, nao watautangaza ujumbe wangu.
And also on my bondmen and on my bondmaids in those days I will pour out from my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 Nitatenda miujiza juu angani, na ishara chini duniani; kutakuwa na damu, moto na moshi mzito;
And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 jua litatiwa giza, na mwezi utakuwa mwekundu kama damu, kabla ya kutokea ile siku kuu na tukufu 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 Hapo, yeyote atakayeomba kwa jina la Bwana, ataokolewa.
And it will be, that every man, whoever may call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
22 “Wananchi wa Israeli, sikilizeni maneno haya! Yesu wa Nazareti alikuwa mtu ambaye mamlaka yake ya kimungu yalithibitishwa kwenu kwa miujiza, maajabu na ishara Mungu alizofanya kati yenu kwa njia yake, kama 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 Kufuatana na mpango wake mwenyewe Mungu alikwisha amua kwamba Yesu angetiwa mikononi mwenu; nanyi mkamuua kwa kuwaachia watu wabaya wamsulubishe.
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 Lakini Mungu alimfufua kutoka wafu akamwokoa katika maumivu ya kifo kwa maana haingewezekana kabisa kifo kimfunge.
whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
25 Maana Daudi alisema juu yake hivi: Nilimwona Bwana mbele yangu daima; yuko nami upande wangu wa kulia, na hivyo sitatikisika.
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 ulifurahi; tena nilipiga vigelegele vya furaha. Mwili wangu utakaa katika tumaini;
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 Umenionyesha njia za kuufikia uzima, kuwako kwako kwanijaza furaha!
Thou made known to me the paths of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
29 “Ndugu zangu, napenda kuwaambieni waziwazi juu ya mambo yaliyompata Daudi, babu yetu. Yeye alikufa, akazikwa, tena kaburi lake liko papa hapa petu mpaka 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 Lakini kwa vile Daudi alikuwa nabii, alijua kuwa Mungu alimwapia kiapo kwamba atamtawaza mmoja wa uzawa wake kuwa mfalme mahali pake.
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 Daudi aliona kabla mambo yatakayofanywa na Mungu na hivyo akasema juu ya ufufuo wa Kristo wakati aliposema: Hakuachwa kuzimu, 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 Basi, Mungu alimfufua huyo Yesu na sisi sote ni mashahidi wa tukio hilo.
This Jesus, God raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
33 Yesu aliinuliwa juu mpaka upande wa kulia wa Mungu, akapokea kutoka kwa Baba ile zawadi aliyoahidi yaani Roho Mtakatifu; na mnachoona sasa na kusikia ni mmiminiko wa huyo Roho.
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 Maana Daudi mwenyewe, hakupanda mpaka mbinguni; ila yeye alisema: Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: Keti upande wangu wa kulia,
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 hadi nitakapowafanya adui zako kibao cha kukanyagia miguu yako.
until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
36 “Watu wote wa Israeli wanapaswa kufahamu kwa hakika kwamba huyo Yesu mliyemsulubisha ninyi, ndiye huyo ambaye Mungu amemfanya kuwa Bwana na Kristo.”
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Basi, watu waliposikia hayo, walichomwa moyo, wakawauliza Petro na wale mitume wenzake: “Ndugu zetu, tufanye nini?”
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 Petro akajibu, “Tubuni na kila mmoja wenu abatizwe kwa jina la Yesu Kristo ili mpate kuondolewa dhambi zenu na kupokea ile 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 Maana, ahadi ile ilikuwa kwa ajili yenu, kwa ajili ya watoto wenu, kwa ajili ya wote wanaokaa mbali; na kwa ajili ya kila mtu ambaye Bwana Mungu wetu atamwita kwake.”
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 mengine mengi, Petro alisisitiza na kuwahimiza watu akisema, “Jiokoeni katika kizazi hiki kiovu.”
And with many more other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this crooked generation.
41 Wengi waliyakubali maneno yake, wakabatizwa. Watu wapatao elfu tatu wakaongezeka katika kile kikundi siku hiyo.
Indeed therefore those who received his word gladly, were immersed. And there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
42 Hawa wote waliendelea kujifunza kutoka kwa mitume, kuishi pamoja kidugu, kumega mkate na kusali.
And they were continuing steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, and in fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and the prayers.
43 Miujiza na maajabu mengi yalifanyika kwa njia ya mitume hata kila mtu akajawa na hofu.
And fear developed in every soul. And many wonders and signs occurred through the apostles.
44 Waumini wote waliendelea kuwa kitu kimoja na mali zao waligawana pamoja.
And all who believed were together, and had all things common.
45 Walikuwa wakiuza mali na vitu vyao kisha wakagawana fedha kadiri ya mahitaji ya kila mmoja.
And they sold properties and possessions, and divided them to all, according as any man had need.
46 Waliendelea kukutana pamoja kila siku Hekaluni. Lakini wakati wa kumega mkate, walikutana katika nyumba zao na wakakishiriki chakula hicho kwa furaha na moyo mkunjufu.
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 Walimtukuza Mungu, wakapendwa na watu wote. Kila siku Bwana aliwaongezea idadi ya watu waliokuwa wakiokolewa.
praising God, and having favor with the whole populace. And the Lord was adding to the church daily those being saved.
