¹And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place.

¹Siku ya Pentekoste ilipofika, waumini wote walikuwa wamekusanyika pamoja.

²And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

²Ghafla, sauti ikasikika kutoka angani; sauti iliyokuwa kama ya upepo mkali, ikajaza ile nyumba yote walimokuwa wamekaa.

³And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.

³Kisha, vikatokea vitu vilivyoonekana kama ndimi za moto, vikagawanyika na kutua juu ya kila mmoja wao.

⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

⁴Wote wakajazwa Roho Mtakatifu, wakaanza kusema lugha mbalimbali kadiri Roho alivyowawezesha.

⁵Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.

⁵Na huko Yerusalemu walikuwako Wayahudi, watu wamchao Mungu, waliotoka katika kila nchi duniani.

⁶And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language.

⁶Waliposikia sauti hiyo, kundi kubwa la watu lilikusanyika. Wote walishtuka sana kwani kila mmoja wao aliwasikia hao waumini wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe.

⁷And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilaeans?

⁷Walistaajabu na kushangaa, wakisema, "Je, hawa wote tunaowasikia wakisema hivi, si wenyeji wa Galilaya?

⁸And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born?

⁸Imekuwaje, basi, kwamba kila mmoja wetu anawasikia wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe?

⁹Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,

⁹Baadhi yetu ni Waparthi, Wamedi na Waelami; wengine ni wenyeji wa Mesopotamia, Yudea, Kapadokia, Ponto na Asia,

¹⁰in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

¹⁰Frugia na Pamfulia, Misri na sehemu za Libya karibu na Kurene; wengine wetu ni wageni kutoka Roma,

¹¹Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God.

¹¹Wayahudi na watu walioongokea dini ya Kiyahudi; wengine wametoka Krete na Arabia. Sisi sote tunasikia wakisema kwa lugha zetu wenyewe mambo makuu ya Mungu."

¹²And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

¹²Wote walishangaa na kufadhaika huku wakiulizana, "Hii ina maana gani?"

¹³But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.

¹³Lakini wengine wakawadhihaki wakisema, "Watu hawa wamelewa divai mpya!"

¹⁴But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, [saying], Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words.

¹⁴Lakini 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.

¹⁵For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day.

¹⁵Watu hawa hawakulewa kama mnavyodhani; mbona ni saa tatu tu asubuhi?

¹⁶but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁶Ukweli ni kwamba jambo hili ni lile alilosema nabii Yoeli:

¹⁷And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth 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:

¹⁷Katika 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.

¹⁸Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.

¹⁸Naam, hata watumishi wangu, wanaume kwa wanawake, nitawamiminia Roho wangu, siku zile, nao watautangaza ujumbe wangu.

¹⁹And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:

¹⁹Nitatenda miujiza juu angani, na ishara chini duniani; kutakuwa na damu, moto na moshi mzito;

²⁰The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable [day].

²⁰jua litatiwa giza, na mwezi utakuwa mwekundu kama damu, kabla ya kutokea ile siku kuu na tukufu ya Bwana.

²¹And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

²¹Hapo, yeyote atakayeomba kwa jina la Bwana, ataokolewa.

²²Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know;

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.

²³him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay:

²³Kufuatana na mpango wake mwenyewe Mungu alikwisha amua kwamba Yesu angetiwa mikononi mwenu; nanyi mkamuua kwa kuwaachia watu wabaya wamsulubishe.

²⁴whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

²⁴Lakini Mungu alimfufua kutoka wafu akamwokoa katika maumivu ya kifo kwa maana haingewezekana kabisa kifo kimfunge.

²⁵For David saith concerning him, I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

²⁵Maana Daudi alisema juu yake hivi: Nilimwona Bwana mbele yangu daima; yuko nami upande wangu wa kulia, na hivyo sitatikisika.

²⁶Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:

²⁶Kwa hiyo, moyo wangu ulifurahi; tena nilipiga vigelegele vya furaha. Mwili wangu utakaa katika tumaini;

²⁷Because thou wilt not leave my soul unto Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption.

²⁷kwa kuwa hutaiacha roho yangu katika kuzimu, wala kumruhusu mtakatifu wako aoze.

²⁸Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.

²⁸Umenionyesha njia za kuufikia uzima, kuwako kwako kwanijaza furaha!

²⁹Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day.

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.

³⁰Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set [one] upon his throne;

³⁰Lakini kwa vile Daudi alikuwa nabii, alijua kuwa Mungu alimwapia kiapo kwamba atamtawaza mmoja wa uzawa wake kuwa mfalme mahali pake.

³¹he foreseeing [this] spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left unto Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

³¹Daudi aliona kabla mambo yatakayofanywa na Mungu na hivyo akasema juu ya ufufuo wa Kristo wakati aliposema: Hakuachwa kuzimu, mwili wake haukuoza.

³²This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses.

³²Basi, Mungu alimfufua huyo Yesu na sisi sote ni mashahidi wa tukio hilo.

³³Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear.

³³Yesu 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.

³⁴For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

³⁴Maana Daudi mwenyewe, hakupanda mpaka mbinguni; ila yeye alisema: Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: Keti upande wangu wa kulia,

³⁵Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

³⁵hadi nitakapowafanya adui zako kibao cha kukanyagia miguu yako.

³⁶Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.

³⁶"Watu wote wa Israeli wanapaswa kufahamu kwa hakika kwamba huyo Yesu mliyemsulubisha ninyi, ndiye huyo ambaye Mungu amemfanya kuwa Bwana na Kristo."

³⁷Now when they heard [this,] they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

³⁷Basi, watu waliposikia hayo, walichomwa moyo, wakawauliza Petro na wale mitume wenzake: "Ndugu zetu, tufanye nini?"

³⁸And Peter [said] unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸Petro akajibu, "Tubuni na kila mmoja wenu abatizwe kwa jina la Yesu Kristo ili mpate kuondolewa dhambi zenu na kupokea ile zawadi ya Roho Mtakatifu.

³⁹For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.

³⁹Maana, 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."

⁴⁰And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation.

⁴⁰Kwa maneno mengine mengi, Petro alisisitiza na kuwahimiza watu akisema, "Jiokoeni katika kizazi hiki kiovu."

⁴¹They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added [unto them] in that day about three thousand souls.

⁴¹Wengi waliyakubali maneno yake, wakabatizwa. Watu wapatao elfu tatu wakaongezeka katika kile kikundi siku hiyo.

⁴²And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers.

⁴²Hawa wote waliendelea kujifunza kutoka kwa mitume, kuishi pamoja kidugu, kumega mkate na kusali.

⁴³And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴³Miujiza na maajabu mengi yalifanyika kwa njia ya mitume hata kila mtu akajawa na hofu.

⁴⁴And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

⁴⁴Waumini wote waliendelea kuwa kitu kimoja na mali zao waligawana pamoja.

⁴⁵and they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need.

⁴⁵Walikuwa wakiuza mali na vitu vyao kisha wakagawana fedha kadiri ya mahitaji ya kila mmoja.

⁴⁶And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,

⁴⁶Waliendelea kukutana pamoja kila siku Hekaluni. Lakini wakati wa kumega mkate, walikutana katika nyumba zao na wakakishiriki chakula hicho kwa furaha na moyo mkunjufu.

⁴⁷praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved.

⁴⁷Walimtukuza Mungu, wakapendwa na watu wote. Kila siku Bwana aliwaongezea idadi ya watu waliokuwa wakiokolewa.
