Imisebenzi 2
1 Kwathi selugcwalisekile usuku lwePentekoste, babendawonye bengqondonye bonke.
AND when the days of pentecost were fulfilled, while they were assembled all together,
2 Kwahle kwezwakala-ke umdumo ovela ezulwini onjengowokuvunguza komoya olamandla, njalo wagcwalisa indlu yonke ababehlezi kuyo,
there was suddenly from heaven the voice as of a mighty wind, and all that house in which they were sitting was filled with it;
3 kwasekubonakala kubo inlimi ezehlukanisiweyo kungathi ngezomlilo, zasezihlala phezu kwalowo lalowo wabo.
and tongues that were divided like fire appeared to them, and sat upon each one of them.
4 Basebegcwaliswa bonke ngoMoya oNgcwele, baqala ukukhuluma ngezinye indimi, njengalokhu uMoya wabanika ukuphumisela.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in several tongues as the Spirit gave them to speak.
5 Kwakuhlala-ke eJerusalema amaJuda, amadoda aqotho, avela kuso sonke isizwe salezo ezingaphansi kwezulu.
But there were men dwelling in Urishlem who feared Aloha; Jihudoyee, from all the peoples who are under heaven.
6 Kwathi sekulalo umdumo, ixuku labuthana ndawonye lasanganiseka, ngoba ngulowo lalowo wabezwa bekhuluma ngolimi lwakibo.
And when that voice was made, the whole people assembled and were perturbed, because every man of them heard as they spoke in their (several) tongues.
7 Basebemangala kakhulu bonke bababaza, bakhulumisana bathi: Khangelani, bonke laba abakhulumayo kayisibo abeGalili yini?
(And) they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another, These all who speak, behold, are they not Galiloyee?
8 Kungani, pho, thina sibezwa ngamunye wabo ngolimi lwakithi esazalwa lalo?
How hear we (then) each in his own tongue in which we were born?
9 AmaPathiya lamaMede lamaElamu, labahlali beMesopotamiya, labeJudiya labeKaphadosiya, abePontusi labeAsiya,
Parthoyee and Medoyee and Alanoyee, and they who dwell in the Place of Rivers, Jihudoyee and Kapadukoyee, and of the region of Pontos and of Asia;
10 abeFrigiya labePamfiliya, abeGibhithe labengxenye zeLibiya eduze leKurene, lezihambi ezingamaRoma, kokubili amaJuda labaphendukela kumaJuda,
and from the land of Phrygia and of Pamphylia and of Metsreen, and the regions of Lybi neighbouring upon Kyrine, and those who come from Rumi, Jihudoyee, and Proselytes,
11 amaKrete lamaArabhiya, siyabezwa bekhuluma ngendimi zakithi imisebenzi emikhulu kaNkulunkulu.
and from Krete and Arabia, behold, we hear them speaking in our tongues the wonders of Aloha.
12 Bonke basebemangala kakhulu badideka, bakhulumisana besithi: Lokhu kungaba yini?
But all of them were amazed and admired, saying one to another, Of whom is this thing?
13 Kodwa abanye bahleka usulu bathi: Basuthi iwayini elitsha.
But others mocked them, saying, These have drunk new wine, and are inebriate.
14 Kodwa uPetro emi labalitshumi lanye, waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe, wasesithi kubo: Madoda maJuda, lani lonke elihlala eJerusalema, kakwaziwe kini lokhu, njalo lilalelisise amazwi ami.
And afterwards arose Shemun Kipha with the eleven apostles, and lifted up his voice and said to them: Men, Jihudoyee, and all who dwell at Urishlem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words.
15 Ngoba laba kabadakwanga, njengoba lina licabanga; ngoba kulihola lesithathu losuku;
For not as you suppose are these drunken; for, behold, until now are three hours.
16 kodwa lokhu yikho okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi uJoweli:
But this is that spoken of by Joel the prophet:
17 Njalo kuzakuthi ensukwini zokucina, utsho uNkulunkulu, ngizathulula okoMoya wami phezu kwayo yonke inyama; lamadodana enu lamadodakazi enu azaprofetha, lamajaha enu abone imibono, labadala benu baphuphe amaphupho;
It shall be in the last days, saith Aloha, I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your youths shall see visions,
18 njalo laphezu kwenceku zami laphezu kwencekukazi zami ngalezonsuku ngizathulula okoMoya wami, njalo zizaprofetha.
And your elders shall dream dreams: And upon the servants and upon the handmaids Will I pour my Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.
19 Njalo ngizaveza izimangaliso ezulwini phezulu, lezibonakaliso emhlabeni phansi, igazi, lomlilo, leyezi lentuthu;
And I will give signs in heaven, And mighty (deeds) on earth; Blood and fire and clouds of smoke:
20 ilanga lizaphendulwa umnyama, lenyanga igazi, lungakafiki usuku lweNkosi olukhulu loludumisekayo;
The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before shall come the day of the Lord, great and fearful;
21 kuzakuthi, wonke obiza ibizo leNkosi uzasindiswa.
And every one who shall call the name Of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Madoda maIsrayeli, zwanini la amazwi: UJesu weNazaretha, umuntu ofakazelwe nguNkulunkulu phambi kwenu ngemisebenzi yamandla langezimangaliso langezibonakaliso, uNkulunkulu azenza ngaye phakathi kwenu, njengalokhu lisazi lani uqobo lwenu,
MEN, sons of Israel, hear these words; Jeshu Natsroya, the man who from Aloha appeared with you, with powers and mighty acts, which Aloha wrought among you by his hand, (even) as you know,
23 yena lo esenikelwe ngecebo elimisiweyo langokwazi okuphambili kukaNkulunkulu lamthatha, ngezandla zabangelamthetho lambethela lambulala;
This, who was separated thereunto by the foreknowledge and by the will of Aloha, you delivered into the hands of the wicked, and crucified and slew.
24 yena uNkulunkulu wamvusa, esethukulule inhlungu zokufa, ngoba kwakungelakwenzeka ukuthi abanjwe yikho.
But Aloha raised him, and loosed the bands of Shiul, because it was not possible that he should be holden in Shiul.
25 Ngoba uDavida uthi ngaye: Ngangibona iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, ukuze nginganyikinyeki;
For David said concerning him, I have foreseen my Lord at all time, Who is at my right hand that I should not be moved;
26 ngakho inhliziyo yami yajabula, lolimi lwami lwathokoza; ngitsho lenyama yami izahlala ethembeni;
Wherefore my heart is glad, And my glory rejoiceth: And also my body shall sojourn in hope;
27 ngoba kawuyikutshiya umphefumulo wami esihogweni, kawuyikunikela oNgcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Hadēs g86)
For thou wilt not leave my soul in Shiul, Nor give thy Saint to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Wangazisa indlela zempilo; uzangigcwalisa ngenjabulo ebusweni bakho.
Thou wilt reveal to me the way of life, Thou wilt fill me with joy with thy presence.
29 Madoda bazalwane, ake ngikhulume kini ngokusobala ngokhokho uDavida, ukuthi wafa njalo wangcwatshwa, lengcwaba lakhe likhona kithi kuze kube lamuhla.
Men, brethren, suffer me to speak openly with you concerning the chief-father David, that he is dead and also buried, and his sepulchre is with us till this day.
30 Ngakho, yena engumprofethi, ekwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wafunga ngesifungo kuye, ukuthi esithelweni sokhalo lwakhe ngokwenyama uzavusa uKristu, ukuze ahlale esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi,
For he was a prophet, and knew that the oath Aloha had sworn to him, Of the fruit of thy loins I will cause to sit upon thy throne:
31 ebonile ngaphambili wakhuluma ngokuvuka kukaKristu, ukuthi umphefumulo wakhe kawutshiywanga esihogweni, lenyama yakhe kayikubonanga ukubola. (Hadēs g86)
And he foresaw and spake concerning, the resurrection of the Meshiha, that He would not be left in Shiul, nor would his body see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 UJesu lo uNkulunkulu wamvusa, esingabafakazi balokhu thina sonke.
This Jeshu hath Aloha raised, and we all are his witnesses.
33 Ngakho ephakanyiswe ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, esemukele kuBaba isithembiso sikaMoya oNgcwele, uthulule lokhu elikubonayo lelikuzwayo khathesi.
And he it is who at the right hand of Aloha is exalted, and hath received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, and hath shed forth this gift, which, behold, you see and you hear.
34 Ngoba uDavida kenyukelanga emazulwini, kodwa yena uqobo lwakhe uthi: INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami,
For David hath not ascended into heaven, because he himself hath said, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand
35 ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho.
Until I place thine adversaries the stool of thy feet.
36 Ngakho indlu kaIsrayeli yonke kayazi isibili, ukuthi uNkulunkulu umenzile kokubili ukuba yiNkosi loKristu, uJesu lo elambethelayo lina.
Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know, that Lord and Meshiha hath Aloha made this Jeshu, whom you crucified.
37 Sebekuzwa lokhu bahlabeka enhliziyweni, basebesithi kuPetro lakwabanye abaphostoli: Madoda bazalwane, sizakwenzani?
AND when they heard, they were pierced in their heart, and said to Shemun and to the rest of the apostles, What shall we do, brethren?
38 UPetro wasesithi kubo: Phendukani, libhabhathizwe lonke ngamunye wenu ebizweni likaJesu Kristu ethethelelweni lwezono, njalo lizakwemukela isipho sikaMoya oNgcwele.
Shemun saith to them, Repent, and be baptized, every man of you, in the name of the Lord Jeshu, for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Ngoba isithembiso ngesenu, lesabantwana benu, lesabo bonke abakhatshana, bonke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezababizela kuyo.
For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all them who are afar off, whom Aloha himself shall call.
40 Langamanye amazwi amanengi wafakaza wakhuthaza wathi: Zisindiseni kulesisizukulwana esiphambeneyo.
And with many other words he testified to them and entreated of them, saying, Save (yourselves) from this perverse generation.
41 Ngakho abalemukelayo ilizwi lakhe ngokuthokoza babhabhathizwa; njalo ngalolosuku kwengezelelwa imiphefumulo engaba zinkulungwane ezintathu.
And some of them eagerly received his word and believed and were baptized, and there were added in that day as three thousand souls.
42 Basebephikelela ekufundiseni kwabaphostoli lebudlelwaneni, lekuhlephuleni isinkwa lemikhulekweni.
And they were faithful in the doctrine of the apostles, and participated in prayer and in the breaking of the eucharist.
43 Lokwesaba kwehlela phezu kwayo yonke imiphefumulo; njalo kwenziwa ngabaphostoli izimangaliso lezibonakaliso ezinengi.
And solemnity was on every soul; and many signs and mighty acts were done by the hand of the apostles in Urishlem.
44 Njalo bonke abakholwayo babendawonye, babelezinto zonke bezihlanganyela,
And all those who believed were together, and every thing they had was in common.
45 basebethengisa izinto lempahla zabo, basebesabelana bonke, njengokuswela komunye lomunye.
And they who had property sold it, and divided to each according to that which he needed.
46 Insuku ngensuku basebephikelela nganhliziyonye ethempelini, behlephula isinkwa izindlu ngezindlu, besidla ndawonye ngentokozo langenhliziyo emhlophe,
And every day they continued in the temple with one soul, and in the house they brake the bread, and took their food rejoicing and in the cleanness of their hearts,
47 bedumisa uNkulunkulu, bethandeka ebantwini bonke. LeNkosi yengezelela ebandleni insuku ngensuku labo abasindiswayo.
praising Aloha, (and) given (to be) in favour before all the people. And our Lord added daily them who were saved into the church.
