Masengo 10
1 Ni jwapali mundu ku Kaisalia liina lyakwe che Konolio, chilongola jwa mpingo wa ŵangondo mia moja waukuŵilanjikwa “Mpingo wa Italia.”
And a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian,
2 Jweleju pamo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jao wose ŵajogopaga Akunnungu, nombejo ŵakamwisye ŵakulaga ni kupopela moŵa gose.
devout, and fearing God with all his house, and doing many alms to the people, and praying to God always;
3 Mpela saa tisa ja muusi ŵammweni pangasisika katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Akunnungu mu yakwiwona achaichililaga ni kwasalila, “Che Konolio!”
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 Che Konolio ŵankolondolele katumetume jo ali ni lipamba, ni kummusya, “Kwana chichi Ambuje?” Katumetume jo ŵanjanjile che Konolio, “Akunnungu apochele mapopelo ni sadaka syenu kwa ŵakulaga, ni sooni ngasanliŵalila kose.
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 Sambano, mwalajisye ŵandu ku Yopa akammilanje mundu liina lyakwe che Simoni, pane akummilanga che Petulo.
And now send men to Joppa, and call for a certain Simon, who is called Peter:
6 Jwelejo akutama ku che Simoni jwakukolosya mapende, nyuumba jakwe jili mungulugulu mbwani.”
he is lodging with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
7 Ajula katumetume jwa kwinani jwaŵechete maloŵe go paŵatyosile, che Konolio ŵaaŵilasile ŵakutumichila ŵakwe ŵaŵili pamo ni jumo jwa ŵangondo ŵakwe juŵantumichilaga, juŵaliji jwakwajogopa Akunnungu,
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 Ŵaasalile yose iyakopochele, ni kwalajisya ku Yopa.
and having related all things to them, he sent them away to Joppa.
9 Malaŵi jakwe lyuŵa lili pa ntwe, ŵandu ŵatatu wo ali chiŵela mu ulendo, achiŵandichilaga ku Yopa che Petulo ŵakwesile penani pa nyuumba kukupopela.
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 Ni jakwete sala, ŵasachile chakulya. Paŵankulumichisyaga chakulya, ŵaiweni yakwiwona.
And he became hungry, and wished to eat: but they getting it ready, an ecstasy came on him,
11 Ni ŵakuweni kwinani kweugule ni chindu chisau shuka jejikulungwa jili jeŵambe mmalombo gakwe gancheche chili nkutuluswa.
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 Mwelemo mwaliji mwana inyama inayose yana makongolo gancheche ni inyama yaikukwaŵa ni ijuni ya kwiunde.
in which were all quadrupeds, and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the heaven.
13 Nipele, ŵalipilikene liloŵe lichasalilaga, “Che Petulo njimuche, nsikite nlye.”
And a voice came to him, Arising, Peter, slay, and eat.
14 Nambo che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ngwamba, Ambuje, uneji nganilye chindu chachili chose chekanye kuligwa atamuno chakusakala.”
And Peter said, By no means, Lord, because I never was in the habit of eating anything unconsecrated and unclean.
15 Liloŵe lila lyapikaniche sooni lichasalilaga, “Indu yaiswejesye Akunnungu nkaiŵilanga yakusakala!”
And the voice again the second time came to him, Whatsoever things God has cleansed, do not count unclean;
16 Chelechi chakwasalila che Petulo nsikite nlye ŵasalilwe katatu, ni papopo shuka jila janyakulikwe kwinani.
and this took place the third time; and immediately the vessel was received up into the heaven.
17 Che Petulo paŵaliji nkusimonga nkati malumbo ga yakwiwona yaiweni yo, ŵandu ŵaŵalajiswe ni che Konolio ŵala, ali amasile kuuchilichisya, ŵaiche pa nyuumba ji che Simoni jwakukolosya mapende, ni kwima pannango,
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 ni ŵapoposile ni kuusya, “Ana mwelemu kwana jwannendo jwakuŵilanjikwa che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa che Petulo?”
and having called, they were asking, if Simon, called Peter, lodges there.
19 Ni che Petulo paŵaliji nkuganisya yankati yakwiwona ila. Papopo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵasalile, “Che Simoni, Kwana ŵandu ŵatatu pelepa akunsosa.
And Peter meditating concerning the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking thee;
20 Ntuluche chitema pe ni sooni nkaliusyausya kulongana pamo nawo pakuŵa une ni junaatumile.”
but rising up, come down, and go with them, doubting nothing: because I have sent them.
21 Nipele, che Petulo ŵatulwiche ni kwasalila ŵandu wo, “Uneji ndili jwelejo junkunsosa. Ana nkusosa chichi pelepa?”
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 Ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Atutumile che Konolio jwankulu jwa ŵangondo, mundu jwakuŵalanjikwa umboni wambone, jwakwajogopa Akunnungu ni kuchimbichikwa ni Ŵayahudi wose. Ŵasalilwe ni katumetume jwa kwinani kuti ambilanje alakwe kumangwakwe kuti apilikanile chinkusaka kuŵecheta.”
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 Che Petulo ŵaaŵilasile ajinjilanje nkati, ŵapele pagona. Malaŵi jakwe, che Petulo ŵatandite ulendo pamo ni ŵanyawo, ni ŵandu ŵane ŵakwakulupilila Che Yesu ŵa ku Yopa ŵalongene nawo.
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 Lyuŵa lyaaŵili lyakwe ŵaiche ku Kaisalia, kweleko che Konolio ŵaalaliche achalongo achinjakwe ni achambusangagwe, ni ŵaliji nkwalindilila ŵanyawo.
And on the following day they came into Caesarea; and Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his own relatives and near friends.
25 Nipele che Petulo paŵajinjilaga nkati, che Konolio ŵakopweche paasa kukwachingamila, ŵatindiŵele paujo pa che Petulo ni kwakotamila.
And when it came to pass that Peter was coming in, Cornelius meeting him, falling down at his feet, worshiped.
26 Nambo che Petulo ŵanjimiche ni kunsalila, “Njime pakuŵa none jwakwe ndili mundu mpela alakwe.”
And Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I also am a man.
27 Che Petulo ŵapundile kukunguluka ni che Konolio ali nkwinjila nkati ni ŵasimene ŵandu ŵajinji asongangene.
And conversing with him, he came in, and finds many having come together;
28 Che Petulo ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti malajisyo ga dini jetu ja Chiyahudi gakutukanya kukamulangana atamuno kwajimajimila ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Nambo Akunnungu aamanyisye uneji kuti ninanganichisye mundu jwalijose kuti ali jwangaswejeswa atamuno jwakusakala.
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 Kwa ligongo lyo pamumilasile nganiingana kwika. Nipele, ngummusya kwaligongo chi mumilasile?”
Therefore indeed, being sent for, I came unhesitatingly. Then I make inquiry for what word did you send for me?
30 Che Konolio ŵajanjile, “Gapite moŵa gatatu mpela saa jijiji ja saa tisa, naliji nkupopela mu nyuumba jangu. Chisisimuchile nammweni mundu jwawasile iwalo yeswela mbee ajimi paujo pangu,
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 ni ŵatite, ‘Che Konolio! Akunnungu akupilikene kupopela kwenu ni akusikumbuchila sadaka simwapele ŵakulaga.
and says, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thine alms have been remembered before God.
32 Nipele muntume mundu ku Yopa akammilanje mundu liina lyakwe che Simoni, pane akummilanga che Petulo, jweleju akutama ku che Simoni jwakukolosya mapende, nyuumba jakwe jili mungulugulu mbwani.’
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 Nipele, chitema pe naatumile ŵandu kukwenu, nomwe ntesile yambone pa kwika. Sambano uweji wose tuli paujo pa Akunnungu, kupilikanila chachili chose chantumile Ambuje kusala.”
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 Pelepo che Petulo ŵatandite kuŵecheta achitiji, “Sambano ngumanyilila kuti isyene Akunnungu nganakola lusagu.
And Peter, opening his mouth, said, In truth I apprehend that God is no respecter of persons:
35 Nambo mundu jwa chilambo chachili chose, jwakwajogopa Akunnungu ni kupanganya yaili yambone paujo pao, akukundikwa nawo.
but in every nation the one fearing him, and working righteousness, is acceptable to him;
36 Ŵanyamwe nkuumanyilila utenga uŵaupeleche Akunnungu kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli, achijenesyaga Ngani Jambone jajikwikanawo chitendewele kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito, ŵaali Ambuje ŵa wose.
the word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ: he is Lord of all.
37 Ŵanyamwe nkulimanyilila alila lilyatyochele mchilambo chose cha Ŵayahudi, chitandile ku Galilaya, che Yohana paŵamasile kulalichila utenga wa ubatiso.
This word you know, which was throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Nkumanyilila iŵatite Akunnungu pakunsagula Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti kwa kwatuluchisya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni machili. Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaliji pamo nawo, nipele ŵaliji nkwendajenda akuno ni akunokuno achitendaga yambone ni kwalamya wose ŵaŵakamwilwe ni Ibilisi.
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 Noweji tuli ŵaumboni wa yose iŵatesile mmusi wa Ŵayahudi ni mu Yelusalemu. Ŵambuleje kwa kwaŵamba pansalaba,
And we are witnesses in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they even slew, hanging him on the wood.
40 nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye pa lyuŵa lyaatatu ni kwatenda awoneche pangasisika.
God raised him on the third day, and gave him to be made manifest;
41 Nganawoneka kwa ŵandu wose, nambo kwa aŵala ŵaumboni ŵaŵasagwile Akunnungu, yaani uweji utwalile ni kung'wa pamo nawo, paŵamasile kusyuka.
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 Ni ŵatulajisye tulalichile Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu wose ni kuŵalanga umboni kuti Che Yesu ni ŵaŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kuti ŵaalamule ŵajumi ni ŵawe.
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 Ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu wose ŵasasile umboni nkati ŵelewo kuti mu liina lyao, jwalijose jwakwakulupilila chalecheleswe sambi syakwe syose.”
And to Him give all the prophets witness, that every one believing on him receives the remission of sins through His name.
44 Che Petulo paŵaŵechetaga maloŵe go, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵatuluchile ŵanawose ŵaŵaupilikanilaga utenga wao.
Peter yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all those hearing the word.
45 Ni Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakulupilile ŵaŵapechesye che Petulo kutyochela ku Yopa ŵala ŵasimosile kuwona kuti Akunnungu ŵatuluchisye ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
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 Pakuŵa ŵaapilikene achiŵechetaga iŵecheto yakusimosya paŵakusyaga Akunnungu. Pelepo che Petulo ŵatite,
for they were hearing them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
47 “Ŵandu ŵa apochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu mpela uweji itutite pakupochela. Ana kwana mundu jwalijose juchakombole kwakanya kuti anabatiswe ni meesi?”
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 Nipele, ŵalamwile kuti abatiswe kwa liina li Che Yesu Kilisito. Nipele ŵandu ŵala ŵaachondelele che Petulo kuti atame nawo moŵa gampepe.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to tarry some days.
