Ndu Manzaniba 10
1 Nikima, ndji ri a he nimi gbu Kaisairiya, wa nde ma hi Koneliyus, ana ninkon soja derhi ri, wa ba ta yo ndi Regiment wu Italiya.
Now there was a certain man in Cæsarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 Ana ndji wa towu, wa ata klu sissri Irji baba bi ko ma wawu, nda ta nu ndji biya zaka ma, nda ni bre Iri chachu.
a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who did many acts of charity to the people, and prayed to God always.
3 Mla ni nton wu tya wu irhi, a mla to ni ra Maleka Irji si'a grji si ye niwu. Maleka a hla niwu ndi, “Cornelius!”
He distinctly saw, in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 Cornelius a nzu ya Maleka u sissri a vu wa a lu tre ndi, “Wayi hi ngye, ninkon mu?” Maleka a hlawu ndi, “Bre me mba zaka me ba hon hi ni ton mren ndindi ni shishi Irji.
And having looked steadily on him, he was afraid, and said: What is it, Lord? He said to him: Your prayers and your charitable deeds have come up for a memorial before God.
5 Zizan ton ndji me bari hi ni gbu Joppa du ba hi yo ndji wa ba yo ndema ndi Bitrus, du wuba ye niwa.
And now send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
6 Ani son ni ndji wu tindu ntan wa ba yo ndi Siman, wa ikoma he ni nyu kpama teku'a
he lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
7 Niwa Maleka wa tre niwu a hi kpama, Cornelius a yo mri ko ma harhi mba soja ri wa ani toh wo tre ma'a.
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier, one of those who waited on him,
8 Cornelius a hla bawu wawu kpewa a si zren niwu'a nda ton ba hi ni Joppa.
and having made known all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Zizan ni nton wu tanne wa ahuri kima, ba sia zren ni ti weiwiere ni mi gbu, Bitrus a hon hi kasi bre ni ko tu nka.
And on the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and were drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 E iyon a vu wa aluta wa ikpe wu rhi, ama niwa ndji ba basia sron biri, a si toh tsro too ra,
And he became very hungry, and desired to eat; but while they were making ready, he fell into a trance;
11 wa atoh shulu bwu, nda toh nklan kpe si grji, ikpe a rju ngma ibla wa asi grji ni ye ni meme, wa ba vuu nji ni ton nza ma nda siwu si grji.
and he saw heaven opened, and some vessel, like a great sheet, descending, bound by the four corners, and let down to the earth.
12 Ni mi ma innma kanka wu mriza nza baba biwa ba nnha ni meme, baba chinche bi bwa ni shulu.
In this were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the air.
13 E lan ri a tre niwu ndi, “Lukri Bitrus, wuu ni tan.”
And there came a voice to him: Rise, Peter, kill and eat.
14 Bitrus a tre ndi “Ana to ki na, Bachi; Rjhimu, mina tan kpe wa a he ni rjhina nda na kpanya ni shishi Irji na.
But Peter said: By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing common or unclean.
And the voice came to him again a second time: What God has cleansed, you must not call common.
16 Ama ilan ala kma tre niwu nkpuwu ha ngari ndi “Kpe wa Irji ngla ti sa'a, na yo ndi a he ni Irji na.”
This was done the third time; and the vessel was taken up again into heaven.
17 Niwa kpeyi ari si kpa Bitrus tsi shishi nitu ko ka a hi ngye tu kpe wa a toh nimi ra ma, niki, har hi, ndji wa Cornelius a ton ba'a ba ye ki ni nyu kikle nkontra nitu bana mye u ba tsro ba nkon wa ba hu zu ye ni ko'a.
Now, while Peter was perplexed within himself about the meaning of the vision which he had seen, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood before the gate.
18 Ba d'bu yo nda mye ka Siman, wa ba yo ndi Bitrus ngame, ni son niki.
And they called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 Niwa Bitrus a rhisi rhimren nitu ra wa ato'a, Ruhu a hlawu ndi, “Toomba, ndji tra asi waw/chiche nha nvunvu bi sen bari ba nha andi/ndji haarhi basi waw.
While Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold, three men ask for you:
20 Lu grji huba hi, na ti ngri ni huba na, nitu a hi me mi tonba.”
arise then, and go down, and go with them without hesitation, for I have sent them.
21 Nikima, Bitrus a grji hi ni ndji ba nda tre ndi, “A hi meyi wa bisi wa'a. A ngye njiyi ye?”
And Peter came down to the men, and said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause of your coming?
22 Ba tre ndi, kikle soja wu ya ndji derhi ri wa ba yo ndema ndi Cornelius, ndji wu tsatsra zren, nda ni ti sissri Irji, wa ndji Yahudawa ni gbungblu wawu ba tre ndindi nitu ma, Maleka Irji a nji tre rhi ni Irji niwu ndi du ton ba hi yoo hi ni koma, nitu du wo tre wa a toon niwu.
They replied: Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that fears God, and of good report among the whole nation of the Jews, was instructed by a holy angel to call you to his house, and to hear words from you.
23 Niki Bitrus a yoba ri ye niwu. Niwa ble nhran, a lu huba, baba mri vayi bari wa ba ka ngo ni bawu hi ni Joppa.
Then he called them in, and lodged them. On the morrow he arose, and went with them; and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Nivi wa a hukima, ba ye ri ni Caesarea. Cornelius a sia gbanba, ana yo mlama baba kpukpan bi weiweire du ba ye zon tu ki.
And on the next day, they entered Cæsarea And Cornelius was expecting them, and had called together his relatives and near friends.
25 A he niwa Bitrus a ri'a, Cornelius a rju ye too nda kri kukru ni gbarhu ma ni meme nda ni nzuhon.
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and did him homage.
26 Ama Bitrus a tiwo nzu lu nda tre ndi, “Lunde kri! Mi ndji too wu.”
But Peter raised him up, saying: Stand up; I also am a man.
27 Niwa Bitrus si tre niwu, a ri hi ka to ndji gbugbuwu ba zontu ki si gben.
And; conversing with him, he went in, and found many that had come together.
28 A tre niba ndi, “Biyi me bita ndi ana he nitu nkon du ndji wu Yahudawa du zontu nitu kpe mba du zren tsri hini bi kora na. Ama Irji tsro me ndi du mina yo ndrjo ndi a vu meme rjhi wa a kpaa ti meme wawu na.
And he said to them: You know that it is unlawful for a Jew to associate with one of another nation, or to go into his house. But God has showed me that I must not call any man common or unclean.
29 Kimayi sa dume grji ye hamma ni sen nyu, niwa wu ton ba ye yome'a, zizan mi myeu, a ngye du wu yome?”
For this reason, when I was sent for, I came without making objection. I ask, therefore, for what purpose have you sent for me?
30 Cornelius a tre ndi, ivi nza wa ki kaba yo gon ye ni ton towa, mi sia bre Irji ni nton wu tiya ni komu, mle mi toh ndji ri a wrhu kri ni shishi mu, ni nklon ma wa asia zan.
And Cornelius replied: Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and, at the ninth hour, I was praying in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 A hla nimu ndi, Cornelius, Irji wo bre me, e sadaka me a du Rji tika niwuu.
and said: Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your deeds of charity are remembered before God.
32 Nikima, ton ndji ri hi ni Joppa, nda hi yo ndji wa ba yo ndema ndi Sima, wa ba yoo Bitrus. A ni son ni ko ndji wu tindu ntan wa ba yondi Siman, weiweire ni kpa teku'a. / Chiche vunvu bi sen bari ba sa nha ndi / Anita ye, a ni tre niwu./
Send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea; who, when he comes, will speak to you.
33 Mle, hama ni ti ngri, mi ton ba ka yo. Abi wa wuye'a zizan, wawu umbu khiki ni shishi Irji ni duta wo wawu kpe wa Bachi ton du ye hla tawu'a,” /Hamma ni tre ndi / Bachi a tru du ye tre / chiche vunvu bi sen bari ba yondi / Irji a tru du ye hla ndi /.
Therefore, I immediately sent to you; and you have done well in coming. Now, therefore, we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are given in charge to you by God.
34 Niki Bitrus a bwu nyu ma nda tre ndi, Njanji, miti too ndi Irji na chutinkan na.
And Peter opened his mouth, and said: In truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons;
35 Nitu ki, ni gbungblu wa konha rhi, ndji wa ani ti sissri ma nda ni hu nkon tsatsra ndindi, ani kpaw.
but, in every nation, he that fears him and works righteousness is accepted by him.
36 Bi to tre ma wa a ton hi ni ndji bi Israila, niwa a bwu hla ndindi tre nitu son pian wa a ye zu ni Yesu Kristi, wandi wawu yi hi Bachi nitu ko nha -
The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all, )
37 biyi kimbi bi toh kpi wa ba zren kagon Judiya wawu, rhi ni Galili wa a hu gon batisma wa Yohana a guchi bwu tsro;
that word, you know, which was published through the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the immersion that John preached;
38 ikpe wa a zren nitu Yesu ba Nazaret, niwa Irji a chu tinka ni lulu Ruhu Tsatsra mba gbengble. A zren si ti kpi bi ndindi nda ni nu sikpa ni biwa brjhi a vu ba lo'a, nitu Irji a he niwu.
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit, and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
39 Ki biwa ki to zren kpi biyi ni shishi mbu, kpi wa Yesu ati, ni gbungblu Yahudawa mba ni Urushelima. Ba klo wuu ni tu kunkro,
And we are witnesses of all that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew by hanging him on a tree.
40 ama Irji a nzulu ni vi wu tra nda du ba toou,
Him God raised up the third day, and caused him to appear,
41 ana ndji wawu na, ama ni biwa Irji ana mla guchi chu ni mi biwa bana toh ni shishi mba, ni mi mbu wa ki ri ni so niwu, hu lunde ni qu.
not to all the people, but to witnesses who were before appointed by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him, after he rose from the dead.
42 A yo tre gbangban ni tawu ni du ta dbu hla ni ndji ni mla hla ndi wawuyi Irji chuu du ga tre ni bi vri mba biwa ba qu ye.
And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that this is he who has been appointed by God as the judge of the living and the dead.
43 Ahi ni wawuhi, anabi wawu ba vu bla, ni du ko nha wa a kpanyeme niwu ani kpa wruhle latre ma ni nde Ma.”
To him all the prophets bear testimony, that whoever believes on him shall receive remission of sins through his name.
44 Niwa Bitrus a risi tre kpi biyi, Ruhu Tsatsra a ku nhi tu wawumba, wa basia sren ton ni tre ma.
While Peter was speaking these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all that heard the word.
45 Ndji biwa bana he ni igrjhi bi hanbru ni mi bi wa kpanyme, wawu ndji wa ba hu gon Bitrus ye'a, ba bwu nyu yo hwo, nitu wa ruhu Tsatsra a ku kra nitu bi kora ngame.
And the believers that were of the circumcision, as many as had come with Peter, were astonished, because on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit:
46 Ba wo bi kora ba basia tre ni lmen kanka nda ni nzu nde Irji hon. Niki, Bitrus a kma sa ndi,
for they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God. Then Peter answered:
47 “A nha ni zu du ndji biyi du ba kpa batisma wu ma, ndji biyi wa ba kpa Ruhu Tsatsra ye too kita ngame'a?
Can any one forbid the water, that these should not be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
48 Mle a yo tre ni gbangban nitu duba ti batisma ni bawu ni nde Yesu Kristi. Hu kima, ba bre du son wu vi fon bran ni ba.
And he commanded them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. Then they besought him to remain some days.
