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.
And a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian,
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.
devout, and fearing God with all his house, and doing many alms to the people, and praying 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!”
saw openly in a vision about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming 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 he looking upon him, and being afraid, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayer and thine alms 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 a certain Simon, who is called Peter:
6 Ani son ni ndji wu tindu ntan wa ba yo ndi Siman, wa ikoma he ni nyu kpama teku'a
he is lodging with a certain 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.
And when the angel speaking to him went away, calling two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually;
8 Cornelius a hla bawu wawu kpewa a si zren niwu'a nda ton ba hi ni Joppa.
and having related all things to them, he sent them away 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 following day, they traveling, and drawing nigh the city, Peter went up on the house 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 hungry, and wished to eat: but they getting it ready, an ecstasy came on him,
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 the heaven open, and a certain vessel like a great sheet came down, and resting upon the earth with four rope ends:
12 Ni mi ma innma kanka wu mriza nza baba biwa ba nnha ni meme, baba chinche bi bwa ni shulu.
in which were all quadrupeds, and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the heaven.
13 E lan ri a tre niwu ndi, “Lukri Bitrus, wuu ni tan.”
And a voice came to him, Arising, Peter, slay, 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.
And Peter said, By no means, Lord, because I never was in the habit of eating anything unconsecrated and unclean.
And the voice again the second time came to him, Whatsoever things God has cleansed, do not count unclean;
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.”
and this took place the third time; and immediately the vessel was received up into the 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.
And while Peter was at a loss within himself, as to what the vision he saw might be, behold, the men having been sent by Cornelius, making inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
18 Ba d'bu yo nda mye ka Siman, wa ba yo ndi Bitrus ngame, ni son niki.
and having called, they were asking, if Simon, called Peter, lodges 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 Peter meditating concerning the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking thee;
20 Lu grji huba hi, na ti ngri ni huba na, nitu a hi me mi tonba.”
but rising up, come down, and go with them, doubting nothing: because 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 having come down to the men, said, Behold, I am he whom you are seeking: what is the cause on account of which you are present?
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 said, Cornelius the centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, and being of good report by all the nation of the Jews, was warned by a holy angel to send for thee to come into his house, and to hear words with thee.
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 having called them in, he lodged them. And on the following day, rising up he went out with them, and certain ones of the brethren, who were from Joppa went along with 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 following day they came into Caesarea; and Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his own 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 when it came to pass that Peter was coming in, Cornelius meeting him, falling down at his feet, worshiped.
26 Ama Bitrus a tiwo nzu lu nda tre ndi, “Lunde kri! Mi ndji too wu.”
And 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 came in, and finds many having 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 how it is an unlawful thing for a Jewish man to associate with, or come to one of another nation; and God has shown me not to call any man unconsecrated 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?”
Therefore indeed, being sent for, I came unhesitatingly. Then I make inquiry for what word did you send 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 said, From the fourth day until this hour, indeed the ninth, I was praying in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in shining apparel,
31 A hla nimu ndi, Cornelius, Irji wo bre me, e sadaka me a du Rji tika niwuu.
and says, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thine alms have been 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./
Therefore send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is called Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner by the sea.
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 I immediately sent for thee; and thou hast done well being present. Now therefore we are all present before God, to hear all things which have been commanded thee of the Lord.
34 Niki Bitrus a bwu nyu ma nda tre ndi, Njanji, miti too ndi Irji na chutinkan na.
And Peter, opening his mouth, said, In truth I apprehend 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 the one fearing him, and working righteousness, is acceptable to 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 through 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;
This word you know, which was throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which 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.
Jesus, the one from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Ghost and power: who went about doing good, and healing all oppressed by the devil: because God is 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 in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they even slew, hanging him on the wood.
40 ama Irji a nzulu ni vi wu tra nda du ba toou,
God raised him on the third day, and gave him to be made manifest;
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 the witnesses having been chosen of God, to us, who ate and drank along 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 us to preach to the people, and to witness that He is the One ordained of God 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.”
And to Him give all the prophets witness, that every one believing on him receives the 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.
Peter yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all those hearing 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 faithful ones who were of the circumcision, so many as came along with Peter, were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Ghost was poured out on the Gentiles also;
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 were hearing them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
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?
Then Peter responded, Whether is any one able to forbid the water, that these shall not be baptized, whosoever received the Holy Ghost as we indeed?
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 baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to tarry some days.
