Masengo 10
1 Ni jwapali mundu ku Kaisalia liina lyakwe che Konolio, chilongola jwa mpingo wa ŵangondo mia moja waukuŵilanjikwa “Mpingo wa Italia.”
There was a certain man in Cesarea, called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
2 Jweleju pamo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jao wose ŵajogopaga Akunnungu, nombejo ŵakamwisye ŵakulaga ni kupopela moŵa gose.
[A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
3 Mpela saa tisa ja muusi ŵammweni pangasisika katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Akunnungu mu yakwiwona achaichililaga ni kwasalila, “Che Konolio!”
He saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in 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 when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are 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 [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 Jwelejo akutama ku che Simoni jwakukolosya mapende, nyuumba jakwe jili mungulugulu mbwani.”
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side: he will tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
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 who spoke to Cornelius had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 Ŵaasalile yose iyakopochele, ni kwalajisya ku Yopa.
And when he had declared all [these] things to them, he sent them 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.
On the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and drew nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour:
10 Ni jakwete sala, ŵasachile chakulya. Paŵankulumichisyaga chakulya, ŵaiweni yakwiwona.
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 Ni ŵakuweni kwinani kweugule ni chindu chisau shuka jejikulungwa jili jeŵambe mmalombo gakwe gancheche chili nkutuluswa.
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Mwelemo mwaliji mwana inyama inayose yana makongolo gancheche ni inyama yaikukwaŵa ni ijuni ya kwiunde.
In which were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.
13 Nipele, ŵalipilikene liloŵe lichasalilaga, “Che Petulo njimuche, nsikite nlye.”
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 Nambo che Petulo ŵajanjile, “Ngwamba, Ambuje, uneji nganilye chindu chachili chose chekanye kuligwa atamuno chakusakala.”
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 Liloŵe lila lyapikaniche sooni lichasalilaga, “Indu yaiswejesye Akunnungu nkaiŵilanga yakusakala!”
And the voice [spoke] to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
16 Chelechi chakwasalila che Petulo nsikite nlye ŵasalilwe katatu, ni papopo shuka jila janyakulikwe kwinani.
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received again into 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,
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and were standing before the gate,
18 ni ŵapoposile ni kuusya, “Ana mwelemu kwana jwannendo jwakuŵilanjikwa che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa che Petulo?”
And called, and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 Ni che Petulo paŵaliji nkuganisya yankati yakwiwona ila. Papopo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵasalile, “Che Simoni, Kwana ŵandu ŵatatu pelepa akunsosa.
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Ntuluche chitema pe ni sooni nkaliusyausya kulongana pamo nawo pakuŵa une ni junaatumile.”
Arise therefore, and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Nipele, che Petulo ŵatulwiche ni kwasalila ŵandu wo, “Uneji ndili jwelejo junkunsosa. Ana nkusosa chichi pelepa?”
Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause for which ye have come?
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 just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from 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 he called them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Lyuŵa lyaaŵili lyakwe ŵaiche ku Kaisalia, kweleko che Konolio ŵaalaliche achalongo achinjakwe ni achambusangagwe, ni ŵaliji nkwalindilila ŵanyawo.
And on the morrow they entered into Cesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 Nipele che Petulo paŵajinjilaga nkati, che Konolio ŵakopweche paasa kukwachingamila, ŵatindiŵele paujo pa che Petulo ni kwakotamila.
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped [him].
26 Nambo che Petulo ŵanjimiche ni kunsalila, “Njime pakuŵa none jwakwe ndili mundu mpela alakwe.”
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up: I myself also am a man.
27 Che Petulo ŵapundile kukunguluka ni che Konolio ali nkwinjila nkati ni ŵasimene ŵandu ŵajinji asongangene.
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that had 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, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 Kwa ligongo lyo pamumilasile nganiingana kwika. Nipele, ngummusya kwaligongo chi mumilasile?”
Therefore I came [to you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent 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, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 ni ŵatite, ‘Che Konolio! Akunnungu akupilikene kupopela kwenu ni akusikumbuchila sadaka simwapele ŵakulaga.
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of 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.’
Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodgeth in the house of [one] Simon a tanner, by the sea-side: who, when he cometh, will speak to thee.
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.”
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou hast come. Now therefore we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee from God.
34 Pelepo che Petulo ŵatandite kuŵecheta achitiji, “Sambano ngumanyilila kuti isyene Akunnungu nganakola lusagu.
Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, In truth I perceive 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 he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with 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 [God] sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by 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.
That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began 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.
That God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
39 Noweji tuli ŵaumboni wa yose iŵatesile mmusi wa Ŵayahudi ni mu Yelusalemu. Ŵambuleje kwa kwaŵamba pansalaba,
And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree.
40 nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye pa lyuŵa lyaatatu ni kwatenda awoneche pangasisika.
Him God raised the third day, and showed him openly;
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 witnesses chosen before by God, [even] to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose 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 testify that it is he who was ordained by God [to be] 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.”
To him give all the prophets testimony, that through his name whoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 Che Petulo paŵaŵechetaga maloŵe go, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵatuluchile ŵanawose ŵaŵaupilikanilaga utenga wao.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them who heard 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 they of the circumcision who believed, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
46 Pakuŵa ŵaapilikene achiŵechetaga iŵecheto yakusimosya paŵakusyaga Akunnungu. Pelepo che Petulo ŵatite,
For they heard them speak in languages and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 “Ŵandu ŵa apochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu mpela uweji itutite pakupochela. Ana kwana mundu jwalijose juchakombole kwakanya kuti anabatiswe ni meesi?”
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
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 the Lord. Then they requested him to tarry certain days.
