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 Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
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 who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
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!”
At about three in the afternoon, he clearly saw in a vision 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.
He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, "What is it, Lord?" He said to him, "Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone 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.
Now send men to Joppa, and bring one 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 seaside."
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 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.
Having explained everything 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.
Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
10 E iyon a vu wa aluta wa ikpe wu rhi, ama niwa ndji ba basia sron biri, a si toh tsro too ra,
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, 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.
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
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 kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, crawling creatures and birds of the sky.
13 E lan ri a tre niwu ndi, “Lukri Bitrus, wuu ni tan.”
A voice came 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, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."
A voice came to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call 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.”
This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up 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 very perplexed within himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, look, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before 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, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging 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 pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look, three men seek you.
20 Lu grji huba hi, na ti ngri ni huba na, nitu a hi me mi tonba.”
But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; 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 went down to the men, and said, "Look, I am the one whom you seek. Why have you 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.
They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say."
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.
So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day he arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers 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.
On the next day he entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his 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.
When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
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 myself am also 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 went in and found many gathered 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.
He said to them, "You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy 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 also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why 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.
Cornelius said, "Four days ago until this hour, at three in the afternoon, I was praying in my house, and look, 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 gifts to the needy are remembered 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 Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'
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 sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by the Lord."
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, "Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
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 who fears him and works 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 children of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus (the) Messiah—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 spoken word you yourselves know, which was proclaimed 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.
even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who 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,
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also killed by hanging on a tree.
40 ama Irji a nzulu ni vi wu tra nda du ba toou,
God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,
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 chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank 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.
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is the one who is 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.”
All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins."
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 still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who 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.
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the non-Jewish people.
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 in other 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 anyone withhold the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?"
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.
He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus (the) Messiah. Then they asked him to stay some days.
