Acts 10
1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
Na rĩrĩ, kũu Kaisarea nĩ kwarĩ mũndũ wetagwo Korinelio, ũrĩa warĩ mũnene-wa-thigari-igana rĩmwe cia mbũtũ ĩrĩa yoĩkaine ta Mbũtũ ya Italia.
2 A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
Mũndũ ũcio na andũ othe a nyũmba yake nĩmeyamũrĩire Ngai na makamwĩtigagĩra; nake nĩaheanaga indo ciake na ũtaana kũrĩ andũ arĩa maarĩ abatari na nĩahooyaga Ngai kaingĩ.
3 This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him: Cornelius.
Mũthenya ũmwe ta thaa kenda cia mĩaraho-rĩ, akĩona kĩoneki. Akĩona mũraika wa Ngai wega, ũrĩa wokire harĩ we na akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Korinelio!”
4 And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
Korinelio akĩmũrora aiyũrĩtwo nĩ guoya, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ Mwathani?” Nake mũraika akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mahooya maku na indo iria ũheete andũ arĩa athĩĩni nĩikinyĩte igũrũ kũrĩ Ngai rĩrĩ iruta rĩa kũririkanwo.
5 And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
Na rĩrĩ, tũma andũ mathiĩ Jopa magĩĩre mũndũ wĩtagwo Simoni, na nowe wĩtagwo Petero.
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
Araikara gwa Simoni ũria mũtanduki wa njũũa, o ũrĩa nyũmba yake ĩrĩ rũtere-inĩ rwa iria.”
7 And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.
Rĩrĩa mũraika ũcio wamwarĩirie aathiire, Korinelio agĩĩta ndungata ciake igĩrĩ na mũthigari ũmwe weamũrĩire Ngai, na aarĩ ũmwe wa andũ arĩa maamũtungatagĩra.
8 To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
Akĩmeera ũrĩa wothe kwahanĩte agĩcooka akĩmatũma Jopa.
9 And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
Mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire ta thaa thita cia mũthenya marĩ njĩra-inĩ makuhĩrĩirie itũũra rĩu-rĩ, Petero akĩhaica nyũmba-igũrũ nĩgeetha akahooe Ngai.
10 And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
Nake akĩigua aahũũta na akĩbatario nĩ kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa, na rĩrĩa irio ciarugagwo-rĩ, akĩgocerera.
11 And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
Nake akĩona igũrũ rĩhingũrĩtwo na kĩndũ gĩatariĩ ta gĩtama kĩnene gĩkĩharũrũkio thĩ kĩnyiitĩtwo mĩthia ĩna.
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
Nakĩo kĩarĩ na nyamũ cia mĩthemba yothe ya iria irĩ magũrũ mana, o na nyamũ iria itaambaga thĩ, o na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ.
13 And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũgambo ũkĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Petero, ũkĩra. Thĩnja na ũrĩe.”
14 But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
Petero agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca, Mwathani! Ndirĩ ndarĩa kĩndũ gĩtarĩ kĩamũre, kana kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu.”
15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
Mũgambo ũkĩmwarĩria riita rĩa keerĩ ũkĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkanoige kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩrĩa Ngai atheretie atĩ ti kĩamũre.”
16 And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
Ũndũ ũyũ wekĩkire maita matatũ, na o rĩmwe gĩtama kĩu gĩgĩcookio na igũrũ.
17 Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon’s house, stood at the gate.
Na rĩrĩa Petero eeyũragia gĩtũmi gĩa kĩoneki kĩu oonete-rĩ, andũ arĩa maatũmĩtwo nĩ Korinelio makĩona harĩa nyũmba ya Simoni yarĩ, na makĩrũgama hau kĩhingo-inĩ.
18 And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
Magĩĩtana, makĩũria kana Simoni ũrĩa wĩtagwo Petero aaikaraga kũu.
19 And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
Na rĩrĩa Petero eeciiragia ũhoro wa kĩoneki kĩu, Roho akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Simoni, harĩ na andũ atatũ maragũcaria.
20 Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũkĩra ũikũrũke, ũthiĩ nao na ndũkagĩe na nganja nĩgũkorwo nĩ niĩ ndĩmatũmĩte.”
21 Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?
Petero agĩikũrũka, akĩĩra andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ mũndũ ũcio mũracaria. Mũũkĩte nĩkĩ?”
22 Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
Nao andũ acio magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tuumĩte gwa Korinelio, ũrĩa mũnene-wa-thigari-igana rĩmwe. Nĩ mũndũ mũthingu na mwĩtigĩri-Ngai, na nĩatĩĩtwo nĩ Ayahudi othe. Mũraika mũtheru aramwĩrire atũmane ũthiĩ gwake mũciĩ nĩgeetha aigue ũrĩa ũrenda kuuga.”
23 Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Petero akĩĩra andũ acio matoonye nyũmba matuĩke ageni aake. Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire Petero agĩthiĩ nao, na ariũ a Ithe witũ amwe kuuma Jopa magĩthiĩ nake.
24 And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
Naguo mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire magĩkinya Kaisarea. Korinelio agĩkorwo ametereire na eetĩte andũ a nyũmba yake na arata a hakuhĩ.
25 And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.
Na rĩrĩa Petero aatoonyaga nyũmba, Korinelio akĩmũtũnga na akĩĩgũithia magũrũ-inĩ make amwĩnyiihĩrie.
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
No Petero akĩmũũkĩria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rũgama, niĩ ndĩ o mũndũ o na niĩ.”
27 And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
O makĩaragia-rĩ, Petero agĩtoonya thĩinĩ na agĩkora gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa andũ.
28 And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ wega atĩ Mũyahudi ndetĩkĩrĩtio nĩ watho kũgwatanĩra na mũndũ wa Ndũrĩrĩ o na kana kũmũceerera. No Ngai nĩanyonetie atĩ ndiagĩrĩirwo nĩ kuuga atĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ti mwamũre kana atĩ arĩ na thaahu.
29 For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa ndĩratũmanĩirwo, ndĩrokire itegũkararia. Njĩtĩkĩria ngũũrie kĩrĩa kĩratũmire ũndũmanĩre?”
30 And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:
Nake Korinelio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Matukũ mana mahĩtũku, ndaarĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa ngĩhooya ithaa-inĩ ta rĩĩrĩ rĩa thaa kenda cia mĩaraho. Mũndũ warĩ na nguo ciahenagia akĩrũgama o rĩmwe mbere yakwa,
31 Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Korinelio, Ngai nĩaiguĩte mahooya maku, na nĩaririkanĩte iheo ciaku iria wanahe athĩĩni.
32 Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũmana Jopa wĩtĩrwo Simoni ũrĩa wĩtagwo Petero, nake nĩ mũgeni gwa Simoni ũrĩa mũtanduki wa njũũa, ũrĩa ũikaraga rũtere-inĩ rwa iria.’
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndagũtũmanĩire o hĩndĩ ĩyo, na nĩ weka wega nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka. Rĩu ithuĩ ithuothe tũrĩ haha mbere ya Ngai nĩgeetha tũthikĩrĩrie ũrĩa wothe Mwathani agwathĩte ũtwĩre.”
34 And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
Nake Petero akĩambĩrĩria kwaria, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Rĩu nĩndamenya kũna ũrĩa arĩ ma atĩ Ngai ndarĩ mũthutũkanio.
35 But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
no atĩ nĩetĩkagĩra andũ kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra na mageeka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
36 God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa Ngai aatũmĩire andũ a Isiraeli, akĩaria ũhoro mwega wa thayũ na ũndũ wa Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa arĩ we Mwathani wa andũ othe.
37 You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ ũrĩa gwekĩkire kũu Judea guothe, kwambĩrĩria Galili thuutha wa ũbatithio ũrĩa Johana aahunjagia,
38 Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
ũrĩa Ngai aaitĩrĩire Jesũ wa Nazarethi Roho Mũtheru o na hinya, na ũrĩa aathiiaga agĩĩkaga wega na akĩhonagia andũ arĩa maahatĩrĩirio nĩ hinya wa mũcukani, tondũ Ngai aarĩ hamwe nake.
39 And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.
“Ithuĩ tũrĩ aira a maũndũ marĩa mothe eekire thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wa Ayahudi o na Jerusalemu. Nĩmamũũragire na njĩra ya kũmwamba mũtĩ-igũrũ.
40 Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
No mũthenya wa gatatũ Ngai akĩmũriũkia kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ na agĩtũma onekane kũrĩ andũ.
41 Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;
We ndonirwo nĩ andũ othe, o tiga aira arĩa Ngai aathuurĩte: akĩonwo nĩ ithuĩ, o ithuĩ twarĩĩanĩire na tũkĩnyuuanĩra nake aarĩkia kũriũka kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.
Nĩatwathire tũhunjĩrie andũ na tũrute ũira atĩ we nĩ we Ngai aamũrire atuĩke mũtuanĩri-ciira wa andũ arĩa marĩ muoyo na arĩa makuĩte.
43 To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
Anabii othe nĩmaheanaga ũira wa ũhoro wake atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũkaamwĩtĩkia nĩakamũkĩra ũrekeri wa mehia na ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake.”
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
Na Petero o akĩaragia ciugo icio-rĩ, Roho Mũtheru agĩikũrũkĩra andũ arĩa othe maiguire ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo.
45 And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
Nao andũ arĩa meetĩkĩtie, a thiritũ ya arĩa maruaga, arĩa mokĩte na Petero makĩgega mona atĩ kĩheo kĩa Roho Mũtheru nĩgĩaitĩrĩirio andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ o nao.
46 For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩmamaiguire makĩaria na thiomi makĩgoocaga Ngai. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Petero akĩũria atĩrĩ,
47 Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
“Harĩ mũndũ ũngĩgiria andũ aya mabatithio na maaĩ? Andũ aya nĩmamũkĩra Roho Mũtheru o ta ithuĩ.”
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩathana mabatithio thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ Kristũ. Magĩcooka makĩũria Petero aikaranie nao ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mĩnini.
