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, saa tisa alasiri, Petro na Yohane walikuwa wanakwenda Hekaluni, wakati wa sala.
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;
Na pale karibu na mlango wa Hekalu uitwao “Mlango Mzuri”, palikuwa na mtu mmoja, kiwete tangu kuzaliwa. Watu walimbeba huyo mtu kila siku na kumweka hapo ili aombe chochote kwa wale waliokuwa wakiingia Hekaluni.
3 who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms.
Alipowaona Petro na Yohane wakiingia Hekaluni, aliwaomba wampe chochote.
4 And Peter, looking stedfastly upon him with John, said, Look on us.
Petro na Yohane walimkodolea macho, naye Petro akamwambia, “Tutazame!”
5 And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
Naye akawageukia, 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.
Kisha Petro akamwambia, “Sina fedha wala dhahabu lakini kile nilicho nacho nitakupa. 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.
Halafu, akamshika mkono wa kulia, akamwinua. Papo hapo miguu na magoti yake yakapata nguvu.
8 And leaping up he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Akaruka, akasimama na kuanza kutembea. Halafu akaingia pamoja nao Hekaluni, akitembea na kurukaruka huku akimtukuza Mungu.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God;
Watu wote waliokuwa hapo walimwona 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.
Walipomtambua kuwa ndiye yule aliyekuwa anaombaomba karibu na ule “Mlango Mzuri” wa Hekalu, wakashangaa mno hata wasiweze kuelewa yaliyompata.
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.
Watu wote, wakiwa na mshangao mkubwa wakaanza kukimbilia mahali palipoitwa “Ukumbi wa Solomoni,” ambapo yule mtu alikuwa bado anaandamana na Petro na Yohane.
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?
Basi, Petro alipowaona watu hao akawaambia, “Wananchi wa Israeli, kwa nini mnashangazwa na jambo hili? Mbona mnatukodolea macho kana kwamba ni kwa nguvu zetu au utakatifu wetu sisi wenyewe tumemfanya mtu huyu aweze 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, Isaka na Yakobo, Mungu wa baba zetu amemtukuza Yesu mtumishi wake. Yeye ndiye yuleyule mliyemtia mikononi mwa wakuu na kumkataa mbele ya Pilato hata baada ya Pilato kuamua kumwacha huru.
14 But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man [that was] a murderer should be granted to you;
Alikuwa mtakatifu na mwema; lakini ninyi mlimkataa, mkataka mtu mwingine aliyekuwa muuaji afunguliwe.
15 but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among [the] dead, whereof we are witnesses.
Basi, mlimuua yule ambaye ni chanzo cha uzima. Lakini Mungu alimfufua, na sisi ni mashahidi wa tukio hilo.
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.
Jina la Yesu na imani katika jina hilo ndivyo vilivyompa nguvu mtu huyu mnayemwona na kumfahamu. Imani kwa Yesu ndiyo iliyomponya kabisa mtu huyu kama mnavyoona nyote.
17 And now, brethren, I know that ye did it in ignorance, as also your rulers;
“Sasa ndugu zangu, nafahamu kwamba ninyi na wakuu wenu mlitenda hayo kwa sababu ya kutojua kwenu.
18 but God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
Lakini ndivyo Mungu alivyotimiza yale aliyotangaza zamani kwa njia ya manabii wote, kwamba ilikuwa lazima Kristo wake ateseke.
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,
Basi, tubuni mkamrudie Mungu ili afute dhambi zenu.
20 and he may send Jesus Christ, who was foreordained for you,
Fanyeni hivyo ili Bwana awape nyakati za kuburudika rohoni na kuwaletea yule Kristo aliyemteua ambaye ndiye 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)
Ni lazima yeye abaki huko mbinguni mpaka utakapofika wakati wa kurekebishwa vitu vyote, kama Mungu alivyosema kwa njia ya manabii wake watakatifu wa tangu zamani. (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 atawapelekeeni nabii kama mimi kutoka kati yenu ninyi wenyewe.
23 And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.
Yeyote yule ambaye hatamsikiliza nabii huyo atatengwa mbali na watu wa Mungu na kuangamizwa.
24 And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession after [him], as many as have spoken, have announced also these days.
Manabii wote, kuanzia Samweli na wale waliomfuata, walitangaza habari za mambo haya ambayo yamekuwa yakitendeka 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.
Ahadi zile Mungu alizotoa kwa njia ya manabii ni kwa ajili yenu; na mnashiriki lile agano Mungu alilofanya na babu zenu, kama alivyomwambia Abrahamu: Kwa njia ya wazawa wako, jamaa zote za dunia zitabarikiwa.
26 To you first God, having raised up his servant, has sent him, blessing you in turning each one [of you] from your wickedness.
Basi, ilikuwa kwa ajili yenu kwanza kwamba Mungu alimfufua mtumishi wake, alimtuma awabariki kwa kumfanya kila mmoja wenu aachane kabisa na maovu yake.”
