¹Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

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

²Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like 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.

³Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.

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

⁴They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

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

⁵Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

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

⁶When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone 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.

⁷They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?

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

⁸How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?

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

⁹Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

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

¹⁰Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors 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 languages 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."

¹²They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, “What does this mean?”

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

¹³Others, 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 spoke out to them, “You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen 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 aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day about 9:00 AM .

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

¹⁶But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

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

¹⁷‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will 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.

¹⁸Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

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

¹⁹I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

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

²⁰The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

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

²¹It will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ Joel 2:28-32

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

²²“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you 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 determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

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 freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

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

²⁵For David says concerning him, ‘I saw 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 will dwell in hope;

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

²⁷because you will not leave my soul in Hades or, Hell , neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

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

²⁸You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’ Psalm 16:8-11

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

²⁹“Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to 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.

³⁰Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on 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 spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul left in Hades or, Hell , nor did his flesh see decay.

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

³²This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.

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

³³Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now 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 didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand,

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

³⁵until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’ Psalm 110:1

³⁵hadi nitakapowafanya adui zako kibao cha kukanyagia miguu yako.

³⁶“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you 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 cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

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

³⁸Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you 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 the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

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."

⁴⁰With 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."

⁴¹Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

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

⁴²They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

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

⁴³Fear came on 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.

⁴⁴All who believed were together, and had all things in common.

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

⁴⁵They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

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

⁴⁶Day by day, continuing steadfastly 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. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.

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