At the Gate of the Temple
1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour .
Basi Petro na Yohana walikuwa wakikwea pamoja kwenda hekaluni, saa ya kusali, saa tisa.
2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
Na mtu mmoja aliyekuwa kiwete toka tumboni mwa mamaye alichukuliwa na watu, ambaye walimweka kila siku katika mlango wa hekalu uitwao Mzuri, ili aombe sadaka kwa watu waingiao ndani ya hekalu.
3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
Mtu huyu akiwaona Petro na Yohana wakiingia hekaluni aliomba apewe sadaka.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
Na Petro, akimkazia macho, pamoja na Yohana, akasema, Tutazame sisi.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
Akawaangalia, akitaraji kupata kitu kwao.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
Lakini Petro akasema, Mimi sina fedha, wala dhahabu, lakini nilicho nacho ndicho nikupacho. Kwa jina la Yesu Kristo wa Nazareti, simama uende.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
Akamshika mkono wa kuume, akamwinua, mara nyayo zake na vifundo vya miguu yake vikatiwa nguvu.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Akaondoka upesi akasimama, akaanza kwenda; akaingia ndani ya hekalu pamoja nao, akienda, akiruka-ruka, na kumsifu Mungu.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
Watu wote wakamwona akienda, akimsifu Mungu.
10 and they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
Wakamtambua, ya kuwa yeye ndiye aliyekuwa akiketi na kuomba sadaka penye mlango Mzuri wa hekalu; wakajaa ushangao wakastaajabia mambo yale yaliyompata.
11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
Basi alipokuwa akiwashika Petro na Yohana, watu wote wakawakusanyikia mbio katika tao lile lililoitwa tao la Sulemani, wakishangaa sana.
Peter's Answer
12 And when Peter saw it , he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
Hata Petro alipoyaona haya akawajibu wale watu, Enyi Waisraeli, mbona mnastaajabia haya, au mbona mnatukazia macho sisi, kana kwamba tumemfanya huyu aende kwa nguvu zetu sisi, au kwa utauwa wetu sisi?
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
Mungu wa Ibrahimu na wa Isaka na wa Yakobo, Mungu wa baba zetu, amemtukuza mtumishi wake Yesu, ambaye ninyi mlimsaliti na kumkana mbele ya Pilato, alipokuwa ametoa hukumu yake afunguliwe.
14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
Bali ninyi mlimkana yule Mtakatifu, yule Mwenye haki, mkataka mpewe mwuaji;
15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
mkamwua yule Mkuu wa uzima, ambaye Mungu amemfufua katika wafu; na sisi tu mashahidi wake.
16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
Na kwa imani katika jina lake, jina lake limemtia nguvu mtu huyu mnayemwona na kumjua; na imani ile iliyo kwake yeye imempatia huyu uzima huu mkamilifu mbele yenu ninyi nyote.
17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it , as did also your rulers.
Basi sasa, ndugu, najua ya kuwa mliyatenda haya kwa kutokujua kwenu, kama na wakuu wenu walivyotenda.
18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
Lakini mambo yale aliyohubiri Mungu tangu zamani kwa kinywa cha manabii wake wote, ya kwamba Kristo wake atateswa, ameyatimiza hivyo.
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Tubuni basi, mrejee, ili dhambi zenu zifutwe, zipate kuja nyakati za kuburudishwa kwa kuwako kwake Bwana;
20 and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
apate kumtuma Kristo Yesu mliyewekewa tangu zamani;
21 whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
ambaye ilimpasa kupokewa mbinguni hata zije zamani za kufanywa upya vitu vyote, zilizonenwa na Mungu kwa kinywa cha manabii wake watakatifu tokea mwanzo wa ulimwengu.
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
Kwa maana Musa kweli alisema ya kwamba, Bwana Mungu wenu atawainulieni nabii, katika ndugu zenu, kama mimi; msikieni yeye katika mambo yote atakayonena nanyi.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Na itakuwa ya kwamba kila mtu asiyemsikiliza nabii huyo ataangamizwa na kutengwa na watu wake.
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
Naam, na manabii wote tangu Samweli na wale waliokuja baada yake, wote walionena, walihubiri habari za siku hizi.
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Ninyi mmekuwa watoto wa manabii na wa maagano yale, ambayo Mungu aliagana na baba zenu, akimwambia Ibrahimu, Katika uzao wako kabila zote za ulimwengu zitabarikiwa.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Mungu, akiisha kumfufua mtumishi wake Yesu, alimtuma kwenu ninyi kwanza, ili kuwabarikia kwa kumwepusha kila mmoja wenu na maovu yake.
