Acts 3
1 And Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, [which is] the ninth [hour];
Siku moja Petro na Yohana walikuwa wanapanda kwenda Hekaluni kusali yapata saa tisa alasiri.
2 and a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they placed every day at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were going into the temple;
Basi palikuwa na mtu mmoja aliyekuwa kiwete tangu kuzaliwa. Alichukuliwa na kuwekwa kwenye lango la Hekalu liitwalo Zuri, kila siku ili aombe msaada kwa watu wanaoingia Hekaluni.
3 who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms.
Huyu mtu alipowaona Petro na Yohana wakikaribia kuingia Hekaluni, akawaomba wampe sadaka.
4 And Peter, looking stedfastly upon him with John, said, Look on us.
Wakamkazia macho, kisha Petro akamwambia, “Tutazame sisi.”
5 And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
Hivyo yule mtu akawatazama, akitazamia kupata kitu kutoka kwao.
6 But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and walk.
Ndipo Petro akamwambia, “Sina fedha wala dhahabu, lakini nilicho nacho ndicho nikupacho. Kwa jina la Yesu Kristo wa Nazareti, tembea!”
7 And having taken hold of him [by] the right hand he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones were made strong.
Petro akamshika yule mtu kwa mkono wa kuume akamwinua, mara nyayo zake na vifundo vya miguu yake vikapata nguvu.
8 And leaping up he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Akaruka juu na kusimama, akaanza kutembea. Kisha akaingia Hekaluni pamoja na Petro na Yohana, huku akitembea na kurukaruka na kumsifu Mungu.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God;
Watu wote walipomwona akitembea na kumsifu Mungu,
10 and they recognised him, that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
wakamtambua kuwa ni yule mtu aliyekuwa akiketi nje ya Hekalu penye lango liitwalo Zuri akiomba msaada, nao wakajawa na mshangao, wakastaajabu juu ya yale yaliyomtukia.
11 And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
Aliyeponywa alipokuwa akiambatana na Petro na Yohana, watu wote walishangaa mno, wakaja wakiwakimbilia pale ukumbi wa Solomoni.
12 And Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety made him to walk?
Petro alipoona watu wamekusanyika akawaambia, “Enyi Waisraeli, kwa nini mnastaajabu kuhusu jambo hili? Mbona mnatukazia macho kwa mshangao kana kwamba ni kwa uwezo wetu au utakatifu wetu tumemfanya mtu huyu kutembea?
13 The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged that he should be let go.
Mungu wa Abrahamu na Isaki na Yakobo, Mungu wa baba zetu amemtukuza Mwanawe Yesu, ambaye ninyi mlimtoa ahukumiwe kifo na mkamkana mbele ya Pilato, ingawa yeye alikuwa ameamua kumwachia aende zake.
14 But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man [that was] a murderer should be granted to you;
Ninyi mlimkataa huyo Mtakatifu na Mwenye Haki mkaomba mpewe yule muuaji.
15 but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among [the] dead, whereof we are witnesses.
Hivyo mkamuua aliye chanzo cha uzima, lakini Mungu akamfufua kutoka kwa wafu. Sisi tu mashahidi wa mambo haya.
16 And, by faith in his name, his name has made this [man] strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith which is by him has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all.
Kwa imani katika jina la Yesu, huyu mtu mnayemwona na kumfahamu ametiwa nguvu. Ni kwa jina la Yesu na imani itokayo kwake ambayo imemponya kabisa huyu mtu, kama ninyi wote mnavyoona.
17 And now, brethren, I know that ye did it in ignorance, as also your rulers;
“Sasa ndugu zangu, najua ya kuwa ninyi mlitenda bila kujua, kama walivyofanya viongozi wenu.
18 but God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
Lakini kwa njia hii Mungu alitimiza kile ambacho alikuwa ametabiri kwa vinywa vya manabii wake wote, kwamba Kristo atateswa.
19 Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from [the] presence of the Lord,
Tubuni basi mkamgeukie Mungu, dhambi zenu zifutwe, ili zipate kuja nyakati za kuburudishwa kwa kuwepo kwake Bwana,
20 and he may send Jesus Christ, who was foreordained for you,
naye apate kumtuma Kristo, ambaye ameteuliwa kwa ajili yenu, yaani Yesu.
21 whom heaven indeed must receive till [the] times of [the] restoring of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began. (aiōn g165)
Ilimpasa mbingu zimpokee mpaka wakati wa kufanywa upya kila kitu, kama Mungu alivyoahidi zamani kupitia kwa vinywa vya manabii wake watakatifu. (aiōn g165)
22 Moses indeed said, A prophet shall [the] Lord your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to you.
Kwa maana Mose alisema, ‘Bwana Mungu wenu atawainulia nabii kama mimi kutoka miongoni mwa ndugu zenu. Itawapasa kumtii huyo kwa kila jambo atakalowaambia.
23 And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.
Mtu yeyote ambaye hatamsikiliza huyo nabii, atatupiliwa mbali kabisa na watu wake.’
24 And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession after [him], as many as have spoken, have announced also these days.
“Naam, manabii wote tangu Samweli na waliokuja baada yake, wote walitabiri kuhusu siku hizi.
25 Ye are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God appointed to our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Ninyi ndio wana wa manabii na wa Agano ambalo Mungu alifanya na baba zenu, akimwambia Abrahamu, ‘Kupitia kwa uzao wako, watu wote wa ulimwengu watabarikiwa.’
26 To you first God, having raised up his servant, has sent him, blessing you in turning each one [of you] from your wickedness.
Mungu alipomfufua Yesu Mwanawe, alimtuma kwenu kwanza, ili awabariki kwa kumgeuza kila mmoja wenu kutoka njia yake mbaya.”
