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.
Futhermore there was a certaine man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a captaine 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 deuoute man, and one that feared God with all his housholde, which gaue much almes to the people, and prayed God continually.
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 sawe in a vision euidently (about the ninth houre of the day) an Angel of God comming in to him, and saying vnto 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.
But when hee looked on him, hee was afrayd, and sayd, What is it, Lord? and he sayd vnto him, Thy prayers and thine almes are come vp into remembrance 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.
Nowe therefore send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
6 Ani son ni ndji wu tindu ntan wa ba yo ndi Siman, wa ikoma he ni nyu kpama teku'a
Hee lodgeth with one Simon a Tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to doe.
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.
And when the Angel which spake vnto Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his seruants, and a souldier that feared God, one of them that waited on him,
8 Cornelius a hla bawu wawu kpewa a si zren niwu'a nda ton ba hi ni Joppa.
And tolde them all things, and sent them to Ioppa.
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.
On the morow as they went on their iourney, and drew neere vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixt houre.
10 E iyon a vu wa aluta wa ikpe wu rhi, ama niwa ndji ba basia sron biri, a si toh tsro too ra,
Then waxed hee an hungred, and would haue eaten: but while they made some thing 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 hee sawe heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had bene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and was let downe to the earth.
12 Ni mi ma innma kanka wu mriza nza baba biwa ba nnha ni meme, baba chinche bi bwa ni shulu.
Wherein were all maner of foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
13 E lan ri a tre niwu ndi, “Lukri Bitrus, wuu ni tan.”
And there came a voyce to him, Arise, Peter: kill, and eate.
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 sayd, Not so, Lord: for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is polluted, or vncleane.
And the voyce spake vnto him againe the second time, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
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 so done thrise: and the vessell was drawen vp againe into heauen.
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.
Nowe while Peter douted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, meant, beholde, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had inquired for Simons house, and stoode at the gate,
18 Ba d'bu yo nda mye ka Siman, wa ba yo ndi Bitrus ngame, ni son niki.
And called, and asked, whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were 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.
And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit sayde vnto him, Beholde, three men seeke thee.
20 Lu grji huba hi, na ti ngri ni huba na, nitu a hi me mi tonba.”
Arise therefore, and get thee downe, and goe with them, and doute nothing: For I haue 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?”
Then Peter went downe to the men, which were sent vnto him from Cornelius, and sayd, Beholde, I am he whome ye seeke: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
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.
And they sayd, Cornelius the captaine, a iust man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Iewes, was warned from heauen by an holy Angel, to send for thee into his house, and to heare thy wordes.
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 called he them in, and lodged them, and the next day, Peter went foorth with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa 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 the day after, they entred into Cesarea. Nowe Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsemen, and special 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 it came to passe as Peter came in, that Cornelius met him, and fell downe at his feete, and worshipped him.
26 Ama Bitrus a tiwo nzu lu nda tre ndi, “Lunde kri! Mi ndji too wu.”
But Peter tooke him vp, saying, Stand vp: for euen I my selfe am a man.
27 Niwa Bitrus si tre niwu, a ri hi ka to ndji gbugbuwu ba zontu ki si gben.
And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were 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 sayd vnto them, Ye know that it is an vnlawfull thing for a man that is a Iewe, to company, or come vnto one of another nation: but God hath shewed me, that I should not call any man polluted, or vncleane.
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?”
Therefore came I vnto you without saying nay, when I was sent for. I aske therefore, for what intent haue ye 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.
Then Cornelius sayd, Foure dayes agoe, about this houre, I fasted, and at the ninth houre I prayed in mine house, and beholde, 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 sayd, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almes are had in remembrance in the sight of 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 Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter (he is lodged in the house of Simon a Tanner by the sea side) who when he commeth, shall speake vnto thee.
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 /.
Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done to come. Nowe therefore are we all here present before God, to heare all things that are commanded thee of God.
34 Niki Bitrus a bwu nyu ma nda tre ndi, Njanji, miti too ndi Irji na chutinkan na.
Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayd, Of a trueth I perceiue, that God is no accepter 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 euery nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousnesse, is accepted with 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 -
Ye know the worde which God hath sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Iesus Christ, which 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;
Euen the worde which came through all Iudea, beginning in Galile, after the baptisme which Iohn 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.
To wit, howe God anointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the deuill: 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 things which he did both in the land of the Iewes, and in Hierusalem, whom they slewe, hanging him on a tree.
40 ama Irji a nzulu ni vi wu tra nda du ba toou,
Him God raysed vp the third day, and caused that he was shewed openly:
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 vnto the witnesses chosen before of God, euen to vs which did eate and drinke with him, after he arose 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 vs to preach vnto the people, and to testifie, that it is he that is ordained of God a iudge of quicke and 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 also giue all the Prophets witnesse, that through his Name all that beleeue in him, shall receiue remission of sinnes.
44 Niwa Bitrus a risi tre kpi biyi, Ruhu Tsatsra a ku nhi tu wawumba, wa basia sren ton ni tre ma.
While Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy Ghost fell on al them which 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.
So they of the circumcision which beleeued, were astonied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was powred out the gift of the holy Ghost.
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 speake with tongues, and magnifie God. Then answered Peter,
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 man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which haue receiued the holy Ghost, 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.
So he commanded them to be baptized in the Name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tary certaine dayes.
