Acts 2

1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

1 Siku ya Pentekoste ilipowadia, waamini wote walikuwa mahali pamoja.

2 Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

2 Ghafula sauti kama mvumo mkubwa wa upepo mkali uliotoka mbinguni ukaijaza nyumba yote walimokuwa wameketi.

3 They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

3 Zikatokea ndimi kama za moto zilizogawanyika na kukaa juu ya kila mmoja wao.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

4 Wote wakajazwa na Roho Mtakatifu, wakaanza kunena kwa lugha nyingine, kama Roho alivyowajalia.

5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

5 Basi walikuwepo Yerusalemu Wayahudi wanaomcha Mungu kutoka kila taifa chini ya mbingu.

6 And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

6 Waliposikia sauti hii, umati wa watu ulikusanyika pamoja wakistaajabu, kwa sababu kila mmoja wao aliwasikia wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe.

7 Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

7 Wakiwa wameshangaa na kustaajabu wakauliza, “Je, hawa wote wanaozungumza si Wagalilaya?

8 How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

8 Imekuwaje basi kila mmoja wetu anawasikia wakinena kwa lugha yake ya kuzaliwa?

9 Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

9 Wapathi, Wamedi, Waelami, wakazi wa Mesopotamia, Uyahudi, Kapadokia, Ponto na Asia,

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,

10 Frigia, Pamfilia, Misri na pande za Libya karibu na Kirene na wageni kutoka Rumi,

11 both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

11 Wayahudi na waongofu, Wakrete na Waarabu, sote tunawasikia watu hawa wakisema mambo makuu ya ajabu ya Mungu katika lugha zetu wenyewe.”

12 Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

12 Wakiwa wameshangaa na kufadhaika wakaulizana, “Ni nini maana ya mambo haya?”

13 But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

13 Lakini wengine wakawadhihaki wakasema, “Hawa wamelewa divai!”

14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.

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.

15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!

15 Hakika watu hawa hawakulewa kama mnavyodhania, kwa kuwa sasa ni saa tatu asubuhi!

16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

16 La, hili ni jambo lililotabiriwa na nabii Yoeli, akisema:

17 ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

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.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

18 Hata juu ya watumishi wangu, wanaume kwa wanawake, katika siku zile nitamimina Roho wangu, nao watatabiri.

19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

19 Nami nitaonyesha maajabu juu mbinguni, na ishara chini duniani: damu, moto, na mawimbi ya moshi.

20 The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

20 Jua litakuwa giza na mwezi utakuwa mwekundu kama damu, kabla ya kuja siku ile kuu ya Bwana iliyo tukufu.

21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

21 Na kila mtu atakayeliitia jina la Bwana, ataokolewa.’

22 Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.

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.

23 He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.

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.

24 But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep Him in its grip.

24 Lakini Mungu alimfufua kutoka kwa wafu akamwondolea uchungu wa mauti, kwa sababu haikuwezekana yeye kushikiliwa na nguvu za mauti.

25 David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

25 Kwa maana Daudi asema kumhusu yeye: “ ‘Nalimwona Bwana mbele yangu daima. Kwa sababu yuko mkono wangu wa kuume, sitatikisika.

26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

26 Kwa hiyo moyo wangu unafurahia, na ulimi wangu unashangilia; mwili wangu nao utapumzika kwa tumaini.

27 because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

27 Kwa maana hutaniacha kaburini, wala hutamwacha Aliye Mtakatifu wako kuona uharibifu.

28 You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

28 Umenionyesha njia za uzima, utanijaza na furaha mbele zako.’

29 Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

29 “Ndugu zangu Waisraeli, nataka niwaambie kwa uhakika kwamba baba yetu Daudi alikufa na kuzikwa, nalo kaburi lake lipo hapa mpaka leo.

30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.

30 Lakini alikuwa nabii na alijua ya kuwa Mungu alikuwa amemwahidi kwa kiapo kwamba angemweka mmoja wa wazao wake penye kiti chake cha enzi.

31 Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

31 Daudi, akiona mambo yaliyoko mbele, akanena juu ya kufufuka kwa Kristo, kwamba hakuachwa kaburini, wala mwili wake haukuona uharibifu.

32 God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

32 Mungu alimfufua huyu Yesu na sisi sote ni mashahidi wa jambo hilo.

33 Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

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.

34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

34 Kwa kuwa Daudi hakupaa kwenda mbinguni, lakini anasema, “ ‘Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: “Keti mkono wangu wa kuume,

35 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

35 hadi nitakapowaweka adui zako chini ya miguu yako.”’

36 Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

36 “Kwa hiyo Israeli wote na wajue jambo hili kwa uhakika kwamba: Mungu amemfanya huyu Yesu, ambaye ninyi mlimsulubisha, kuwa Bwana na Kristo.”

37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

37 Watu waliposikia maneno haya yakawachoma mioyo yao, wakawauliza Petro na wale mitume wengine, “Ndugu zetu tufanye nini?”

38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

38 Petro akawajibu, “Tubuni, mkabatizwe kila mmoja wenu kwa jina la Yesu Kristo, ili mpate kusamehewa dhambi zenu, nanyi mtapokea kipawa cha Roho Mtakatifu.

39 This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

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.”

40 With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”

40 Petro akawaonya kwa maneno mengine mengi na kuwasihi akisema, “Jiepusheni na kizazi hiki kilichopotoka.”

41 Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

41 Wale wote waliopokea ujumbe wa Petro kwa furaha wakabatizwa na siku ile waliongezeka watu wapatao 3,000.

42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

42 Nao wakawa wanadumu katika mafundisho ya mitume, katika ushirika, katika kumega mkate na katika kusali.

43 A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.

43 Kila mtu akaingiwa na hofu ya Mungu, nayo miujiza mingi na ishara zikafanywa na mitume.

44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.

44 Walioamini wote walikuwa mahali pamoja, nao walikuwa na kila kitu shirika.

45 Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

45 Waliuza mali zao na vitu walivyokuwa navyo, kila mtu akagawiwa kadiri ya mahitaji yake.

46 With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,

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,

47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

47 wakimsifu Mungu na kuwapendeza watu wote. Kila siku Bwana akaliongeza kanisa wale waliokuwa wakiokolewa.
