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

¹And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

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

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

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

³And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

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

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

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

⁵And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

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

⁶Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

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

⁷And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹¹Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

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

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

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

¹³Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

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.

¹⁴But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

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

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

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

¹⁶But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

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.

¹⁷And 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:

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

¹⁸And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

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

¹⁹And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

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

²⁰The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

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

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

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.

²²Ye 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:

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

²³Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

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

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

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

²⁵For 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:

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

²⁶Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

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

²⁷Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

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

²⁸Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

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.

²⁹Men 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.

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

³⁰Therefore 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;

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

³¹He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

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

³²This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

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.

³³Therefore 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.

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

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

³⁵hadi nitakapowafanya adui zako kibao cha kukanyagia miguu yako.

³⁵Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

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

³⁶Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

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

³⁷Now 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?

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.

³⁸Then 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.

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."

³⁹For 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.

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

⁴⁰And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

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

⁴¹Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁴⁵And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

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

⁴⁶And 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,

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

⁴⁷Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
