Acts 2 (NMM) · Opened

1Siku ya Pentekoste ilipowadia, waumini wote walikuwa mahali pamoja.When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

2Ghafula, sauti kama mvumo mkubwa wa upepo mkali ikatoka mbinguni, ikaijaza nyumba yote walimokuwa wameketi.Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3Zikatokea ndimi kama za moto zilizogawanyika na kutua juu ya kila mmoja wao.They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

4Wote wakajazwa na Roho Mtakatifu wa Mungu, wakaanza kunena kwa lugha nyingine, kama Roho alivyowajalia.And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

5Basi walikuwako Yerusalemu Wayahudi wanaomcha Mungu kutoka kila taifa chini ya mbingu.Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

6Waliposikia sauti hii, umati wa watu walikusanyika pamoja wakistaajabu, kwa sababu kila mmoja wao aliwasikia wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe.And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

7Wakiwa wameshangaa na kustaajabu, wakauliza, “Je, hawa wote wanaozungumza si Wagalilaya?Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

8Imekuwaje basi kila mmoja wetu anawasikia wakinena kwa lugha yake ya kuzaliwa?How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

9Wapathi, Wamedi, Waelami, wakazi wa Mesopotamia, Yudea, Kapadokia, Ponto na jimbo la Asia,Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10Frigia, Pamfilia, Misri na pande za Libia karibu na Kirene, na wageni kutoka RumiPhrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,

11(Wayahudi na wale walioongokea dini ya Kiyahudi), Wakrete na Waarabu: sote tunawasikia watu hawa wakisema mambo makuu ya ajabu ya Mungu katika lugha zetu wenyewe.”both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

12Wakiwa wameshangaa na kufadhaika wakaulizana, “Ni nini maana ya mambo haya?”Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13Lakini wengine wakawadhihaki wakasema, “Hawa wamelewa kwa divai!”But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

14Ndipo Petro akasimama pamoja na wale mitume kumi na mmoja, akapaza sauti yake na kuhutubia umati ule wa watu, akasema: “Wayahudi wenzangu na nyote mnaoishi Yerusalemu, nisikilizeni kwa makini, ili jambo hili lijulikane kwenu.Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.

15Hakika watu hawa hawajalewa kama mnavyodhania, kwa kuwa sasa ni saa tatu asubuhi!These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!

16La, hili ni jambo lililotabiriwa na nabii Yoeli, akisema:No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17“ ‘Katika siku za mwisho, asema Mungu, nitamimina Roho wangu juu ya wote wenye mwili. Wana wenu wa kiume na wa kike watatabiri, vijana wenu wataona maono, na wazee wenu wataota ndoto.‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

18Hata juu ya watumishi wangu, wanaume kwa wanawake, katika siku zile nitamimina Roho wangu, nao watatabiri.Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

19Nami nitaonesha maajabu juu mbinguni, na ishara chini duniani: damu, moto, na mawimbi ya moshi.I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

20Jua litakuwa giza na mwezi utakuwa mwekundu kama damu, kabla ya kuja siku ile kuu ya Mwenyezi Mungu iliyo tukufu.The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

21Na kila mtu atakayeliitia jina la Mwenyezi Mungu, ataokolewa.’And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

22“Enyi Waisraeli, sikilizeni maneno haya nisemayo: Isa Al-Nasiri alikuwa mtu aliyethibitishwa kwenu na Mungu kwa miujiza, maajabu na ishara, ambayo Mungu alitenda miongoni mwenu kupitia kwake, kama ninyi wenyewe mjuavyo.Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.

23Baada ya huyu mtu kutolewa kwenu kwa mpango wa Mungu uliokusudiwa kwa kujua kwake Mungu tangu zamani, ninyi mlimuua kwa kumsulubisha msalabani, kwa mikono ya watu waovu.He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.

24Lakini Mungu alimfufua kutoka kwa wafu akamwondolea uchungu wa mauti, kwa sababu haikuwezekana yeye kushikiliwa na nguvu za mauti.But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep Him in its grip.

25Kwa maana Daudi asema hivi kumhusu: “ ‘Nilimwona Bwana mbele yangu daima. Kwa sababu yuko mkono wangu wa kuume, sitatikisika.David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

26Kwa hiyo moyo wangu unafurahia, na ulimi wangu unashangilia; mwili wangu nao utapumzika kwa tumaini.Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

27Kwa maana hutaniacha kaburini, wala hutamwacha Aliye Mtakatifu wako kuona uharibifu.because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

28Umenionesha njia za uzima, utanijaza na furaha mbele zako.’You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

29“Ndugu zangu Waisraeli, nataka niwaambie kwa uhakika kwamba baba yetu wa zamani Daudi alikufa na kuzikwa, nalo kaburi lake lipo hapa hadi leo.Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

30Lakini alikuwa nabii na alijua ya kuwa Mungu alikuwa amemwahidi kwa kiapo, kwamba angemweka mmoja wa wazao wake penye kiti chake cha utawala.But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.

31Daudi, akiona mambo yaliyo mbele, akanena kuhusu kufufuka kwa Al-Masihi, kwamba hakuachwa kaburini, wala mwili wake haukuona uharibifu.Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

32Mungu alimfufua huyu Isa, na sisi sote ni mashahidi wa jambo hilo.God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

33Basi yeye ametukuzwa hadi mkono wa kuume wa Mungu, na amepokea kutoka kwa Baba ahadi ya Roho Mtakatifu wa Mungu, naye amemimina kile mnachoona sasa na kusikia.Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

34Kwa kuwa Daudi hakupaa kwenda mbinguni, lakini anasema, “ ‘Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: “Keti mkono wangu wa kuume,For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

35hadi nitakapowaweka adui zako chini ya miguu yako.” ’until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

36“Kwa hiyo Israeli wote na wajue jambo hili kwa uhakika kwamba: Mungu amemfanya huyu Isa, ambaye ninyi mlimsulubisha, kuwa Bwana na Al-Masihi.”Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

37Watu waliposikia maneno haya yakawachoma mioyo yao, wakawauliza Petro na wale mitume wengine, “Ndugu zetu tufanye nini?”When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

38Petro akawajibu, “Tubuni, mkabatizwe kila mmoja wenu kwa jina la Isa Al-Masihi, ili mpate kusamehewa dhambi zenu, nanyi mtapokea kipawa cha Roho wa Mungu.Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39Kwa kuwa ahadi hii ni kwa ajili yenu na watoto wenu, na kwa wote walio mbali, na kila mtu ambaye Bwana Mungu wetu atamwita amjie.”This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

40Petro akawaonya kwa maneno mengine mengi na kuwasihi akisema, “Jiepusheni na kizazi hiki kilichopotoka.”With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”

41Wale wote waliopokea ujumbe wa Petro kwa furaha wakabatizwa, na siku ile waliongezeka watu wapatao elfu tatu.Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

42Nao wakadumu katika mafundisho ya mitume, katika ushirika, katika kumega mkate na katika kusali.They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

43Kila mtu akaingiwa na hofu ya Mungu, nayo miujiza mingi na ishara zikafanywa na mitume.A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.

44Waumini wote walikuwa mahali pamoja, nao wakashirikiana katika mambo yote.All the believers were together and had everything in common.

45Waliuza mali yao na vitu walivyokuwa navyo, kila mtu akagawiwa kadiri ya mahitaji yake.Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

46Siku zote kwa moyo mmoja walikutana ndani ya ukumbi wa Hekalu, wakimega mkate nyumba kwa nyumba, wakila chakula chao kwa furaha na moyo mweupe,With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,

47wakimsifu Mungu na kuwapendeza watu wote. Kila siku Bwana akaliongeza kundi la waumini wa Isa wale waliokuwa wakiokolewa.praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
