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

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

²And there came suddenly a sound out of heaven as of a violent impetuous blowing, and 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 to them parted tongues, 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 to them to speak forth.

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

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

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

⁶But the rumour of this having spread, the multitude came together and were confounded, because each one heard them speaking in his own dialect.

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

⁷And all were amazed and wondered, saying, Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galilaeans?

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

⁸and how do *we* hear [them] each in our own dialect in which we have been born,

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

⁹Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judaea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

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

¹⁰both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya which adjoin Cyrene, and the Romans sojourning [here], 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 own tongues the great things 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 in perplexity, saying one to another, What would this mean?

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

¹³But others mocking said, They are full of new wine.

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

¹⁴But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke forth to them, Men of Judaea, and all ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give heed to 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 full of wine, as *ye* suppose, for it is the third hour of the day;

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

¹⁶but this is that which was 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, [that] 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 elders shall dream with 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, even upon my bondmen and upon my bondwomen in those days will I pour out 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 give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

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

²⁰the sun shall be changed to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and gloriously appearing day of [the] Lord come.

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 upon the name of [the] Lord shall be saved.

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

²²Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazaraean, a man borne witness to by God to you by works of power and wonders and signs, which God wrought by him in your midst, as 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.

²³-- him, given up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, by [the] hand of lawless [men], have crucified and slain.

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

²⁴Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death, inasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held by its power;

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

²⁵for David says as to him, I foresaw the Lord continually before me, because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved.

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

²⁶Therefore has my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted; yea more, my flesh also shall dwell in hope,

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

²⁷for thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor wilt thou give thy gracious one to see corruption.

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

²⁸Thou hast made known to me [the] paths of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance.

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

²⁹Brethren, let it be allowed to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he has both died and been buried, and his monument is amongst 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 to him with an oath, of the fruit of his loins to set 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, seeing [it] before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen 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 has God raised up, whereof all *we* are witnesses.

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

³³Having therefore been exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which *ye* behold 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 has not ascended into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand

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

³⁵until I have put thine enemies [to be] the footstool of thy feet.

³⁵hadi nitakapowafanya adui zako kibao cha kukanyagia miguu yako.

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

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

³⁷And having heard [it] they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, What shall we do, brethren?

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

³⁸And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for remission of sins, and ye will 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 who [are] afar off, as many as [the] Lord our God may call.

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, Be saved from this perverse generation.

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

⁴¹Those then who had accepted his word were baptised; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

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

⁴²And they persevered in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles, in breaking of bread and prayers.

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

⁴³And fear was upon every soul, and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles' means.

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 sold their possessions and substance, and distributed them to all, according as any one might have need.

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

⁴⁶And every day, being constantly in the temple with one accord, and breaking bread in [the] house, they received their food with gladness and simplicity 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 favour with all the people; and the Lord added [to the assembly] daily those that were to be saved.

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