1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Hata ilipotimia siku ya Pentekoste walikuwako wote mahali pamoja.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Kukaja ghafula toka mbinguni uvumi kama uvumi wa upepo wa nguvu ukienda kasi, ukaijaza nyumba yote waliyokuwa wameketi.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Kukawatokea ndimi zilizogawanyikana, kama ndimi za moto uliowakalia kila mmoja wao.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Wote wakajazwa Roho Mtakatifu, wakaanza kusema kwa lugha nyingine, kama Roho alivyowajalia kutamka.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
Na walikuwako Yerusalemu Wayahudi wakikaa, watu watauwa, watu wa kila taifa chini ya mbingu.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
Basi sauti hii iliposikiwa makutano walikutanika, wakashikwa na fadhaa, kwa kuwa kila mmoja aliwasikia wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans?
Wakashangaa wote, wakastaajabu wakiambiana, Tazama, hawa wote wasemao si Wagalilaya?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Imekuwaje basi sisi kusikia kila mtu lugha yetu tuliyozaliwa nayo?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
Warparthi na Wamedi na Waelami, nao wakaao Mesopotamia, Uyahudi na Kapadokia, Ponto na Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
Frigia na Pamfilia, Misri na pande za Libia karibu na Kirene, na wageni watokao Rumi, Wayahudi na waongofu,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
Wakrete na Waarabu; tunawasikia hawa wakisema kwa lugha zetu matendo makuu ya Mungu.
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
Wakashangaa wote wakaingiwa na shaka, wakiambiana, Maana yake nini mambo haya?
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
Wengine walidhihaki, wakisema, wamelewa kwa mvinyo mpya.
Peter's Explanation
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
Lakini Petro akasimama pamoja na wale kumi na mmoja, akapaza sauti yake, akawaambia, Enyi watu wa Uyahudi, na ninyi nyote mkaao Yerusalemu, lijueni jambo hili, mkasikilize maneno yangu.
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
Sivyo mnavyodhani; watu hawa hawakulewa, kwa maana ni saa tatu ya mchana;
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
lakini jambo hili ni lile lililonenwa kwa kinywa cha nabii Yoeli,
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,
I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh:
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see visions,
And your old men shall dream dreams:
Itakuwa siku za mwisho, asema Mungu, nitawamwagia watu wote Roho yangu, na wana wenu na binti zenu watatabiri; na vijana wenu wataona maono; na wazee wenu wataota ndoto.
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens
I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Naam, na siku zile nitawamwagia watumishi wangu wanaume na wanawake Roho yangu, nao watatabiri.
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above,
And signs in the earth beneath;
Blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Nami nitatoa ajabu katika mbingu juu, na ishara katika nchi chini, damu na moto, na mvuke wa moshi.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before that great and notable
Day of the Lord come:
Jua litageuka kuwa giza, na mwezi kuwa damu, kabla ya kuja ile siku ya Bwana iliyo kuu na iliyo dhahiri.
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Na itakuwa kila atakayeliitia jina la Bwana ataokolewa.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Enyi waume wa Israeli, sikilizeni maneno haya: Yesu wa Nazareti, mtu aliyedhihirishwa kwenu na Mungu kwa miujiza na ajabu na ishara, ambazo Mungu alizifanya kwa mkono wake kati yenu, kama ninyi wenyewe mnavyojua;
23 him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
mtu huyu alipotolewa kwa shauri la Mungu lililokusudiwa, na kwa kujua kwake tangu zamani, ninyi mkamsulibisha kwa mikono ya watu wabaya, mkamwua;
24 whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
ambaye Mungu alimfufua, akiufungua uchungu wa mauti, kwa sababu haikuwezekana ashikwe nao.
25 For David speaketh concerning him,
I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
Maana Daudi ataja habari zake, Nalimwona Bwana mbele yangu siku zote, Kwa kuwa yuko upande wa mkono wangu wa kuume, nisitikisike.
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Kwa hiyo moyo wangu ukapendezewa, ulimi wangu ukafurahi; Tena mwili wangu nao utakaa katika matumaini.
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Kwa maana hutaiacha roho yangu katika kuzimu; Wala hutamtoa Mtakatifu wako aone uharibifu.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life;
Thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
Umenijuvisha njia za uzima; Utanijaza furaha kwa uso wako.
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
Waume, ndugu zangu, mniwie radhi, niseme kwa ujasiri mbele yenu habari za baba yetu mkuu, Daudi, ya kuwa alifariki akazikwa, na kaburi lake liko kwetu hata leo.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
Basi kwa kuwa ni nabii, akijua ya kuwa Mungu amemwapia kwa kiapo, ya kwamba katika uzao wa viuno vyake atamketisha mmoja katika kiti chake cha enzi;
31 he seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
yeye mwenyewe akitangulia kuyaona haya, alitaja habari za kufufuka kwake Kristo, ya kwamba roho yake haikuachwa kuzimu, wala mwili wake haukuona uharibifu.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Yesu huyo Mungu alimfufua, na sisi sote tu mashahidi wake.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
Basi yeye, akiisha kupandishwa hata mkono wa kuume wa Mungu, na kupokea kwa Baba ile ahadi ya Roho Mtakatifu, amekimwaga kitu hiki mnachokiona sasa na kukisikia.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself,
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Maana Daudi hakupanda mbinguni; bali yeye mwenyewe anasema, Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu, Keti upande wa mkono wangu wa kuume.
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Hata nitakapowaweka adui zako chini ya miguu yako.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Basi nyumba yote ya Israeli na wajue yakini ya kwamba Mungu amemfanya Yesu huyo mliyemsulibisha kuwa Bwana na Kristo.
37 Now when they heard this , they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Walipoyasikia haya wakachomwa mioyo yao, wakamwambia Petro na mitume wengine, Tutendeje, ndugu zetu?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Petro akawaambia, Tubuni mkabatizwe kila mmoja kwa jina lake Yesu Kristo, mpate ondoleo la dhambi zenu, nanyi mtapokea kipawa cha Roho Mtakatifu.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Kwa kuwa ahadi hii ni kwa ajili yenu, na kwa watoto wenu, na kwa watu wote walio mbali, na kwa wote watakaoitwa na Bwana Mungu wetu wamjie.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Akawashuhudia kwa maneno mengine mengi sana na kuwaonya, akisema, Jiokoeni na kizazi hiki chenye ukaidi.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Nao waliolipokea neno lake wakabatizwa; na siku ile wakaongezeka watu wapata elfu tatu.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Wakawa wakidumu katika fundisho la mitume, na katika ushirika, na katika kuumega mkate, na katika kusali.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
Kila mtu akaingiwa na hofu; ajabu nyingi na ishara zikafanywa na mitume.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Na wote walioamini walikuwa mahali pamoja, na kuwa na vitu vyote shirika,
45 and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men , as every man had need.
wakiuza mali zao, na vitu vyao walivyokuwa navyo, na kuwagawia watu wote kama kila mtu alivyokuwa na haja.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
Na siku zote kwa moyo mmoja walidumu ndani ya hekalu, wakimega mkate nyumba kwa nyumba, na kushiriki chakula chao kwa furaha na kwa moyo mweupe,
47 praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
wakimsifu Mungu, na kuwapendeza watu wote. Bwana akalizidisha kanisa kila siku kwa wale waliokuwa wakiokolewa.
