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.
But, a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called 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, doing many alms unto the people, and supplicating 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!”
Saw, in a vision, manifestly, as if about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God, coming in unto him, and saying unto 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 steadfastly at him, and becoming full of fear, said—What is it, Lord? And he said unto him—Thy prayers and thine alms, 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, therefore, send men unto Joppa, and fetch 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
The same is a guest 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.
And, when the messenger who had been speaking with him had departed, calling two of the domestics, and a devout soldier of them that constantly attended him,
8 Cornelius a hla bawu wawu kpewa a si zren niwu'a nda ton ba hi ni Joppa.
And relating everything unto them, he sent them off unto 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 morrow, as those men were journeying, and, unto the city, drawing near, Peter went up on the housetop 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,
But he became hungry, and wished to eat, —and, while they were making ready, there came upon him 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 beholdeth heaven opened, and, corning down, a kind of vessel, like a large linen cloth, by its four corners, being let down upon 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 the quadrupeds and creeping things of earth and birds of heaven.
13 E lan ri a tre niwu ndi, “Lukri Bitrus, wuu ni tan.”
And there came a voice unto him—Rise, 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.
But Peter said—By no means, Lord! because, at no time, have I eaten anything common or unclean.
And a voice [came] again, a second time, unto him—What things, God, hath cleansed, be not, thou, making 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.”
Now, this, took place thrice; and, straightway, was the vessel taken 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.
And, as within himself Peter was doubting what the vision which he had seen might mean, lo! the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having sought out 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, calling, enquired whether, Simon who was surnamed Peter, was there being entertained.
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, as Peter was pondering over the vision, the Spirit said—Lo! two men, seeking thee.
20 Lu grji huba hi, na ti ngri ni huba na, nitu a hi me mi tonba.”
But rise, go down, and be journeying with them, nothing, doubting; 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, going down unto the men, said—Lo! I, am he whom ye are seeking: What is the cause, for which 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 said—Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well-attested by the whole nation of the Jews, hath been divinely instructed by a holy messenger to send for thee unto his house, and to hear words from 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.
Inviting them in, therefore, he entertained them; but, on the morrow, he rose up and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren who were from Joppa went 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 morrow, he entered into Caesarea. And, Cornelius, was expecting them, having called together his kinsfolk and intimate 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 about that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and, falling at his feet, did homage.
26 Ama Bitrus a tiwo nzu lu nda tre ndi, “Lunde kri! Mi ndji too wu.”
But, Peter, raised him up, saying—Arise! I also myself, 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 findeth many 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 said unto the—Ye, well know, how unlawful it is, for, a Jew, to be joining himself or coming in unto one of another race. And yet, unto me, hath God pointed out that I should be calling no 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?”
Wherefore, even without gainsaying, came I when sent for. I ask, therefore, for what reason 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.
And Cornelius said—Four days ago, counting unto this very hour, I was keeping, the ninth hour, as one of prayer, in my house. And lo! 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 saith—Cornelius! thy prayer hath 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./
Send, therefore, unto Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter. The same is being entertained in the house of one Simon a 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 /.
Immediately, therefore, I sent unto thee: Thou, also hast, well, done in coming. Now, therefore, all we, before God are present, to hear all things that have been enjoined upon thee by 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—Of a truth, I find 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 feareth him and worketh righteousness, is acceptable unto 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 -
As touching the word he hath sent unto the sons of Israel, announcing the glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ—the same, 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;
Ye yourselves, know what hath come to pass throughout the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the immersion which John proclaimed, respecting Jesus who was of Nazareth: —
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 him with Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the adversary, because, 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 also, are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the country of the Jews and Jerusalem; whom they even slew by suspending upon a tree; —
40 ama Irji a nzulu ni vi wu tra nda du ba toou,
The same, God raised up on the third day, and gave him to become, 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 unto all the people, but unto witnesses who had been fore-appointed by God, unto us, who, indeed, did eat and drink with him after his rising from among 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 charged us to proclaim unto the people, and bear full witness, that—This, is he that hath been marked out by God to be judge of living 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.”
Unto the same, do all the prophets bear witness, That, remission of sins, is to be received through his name, by every one that believeth on him.
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 yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were 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, of the circumcision, who had come with Peter, were amazed, —in that, upon the nations also, the free-gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out;
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 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?
Surely then, the water, can no man forbid, that these should not be immersed, —seeing that, the Holy Spirit, they have received, 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 in the name of Jesus Christ to be immersed. Then, requested they him, to abide still some days.
