Acts 10
1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a cohort that is called Italian,
Lino kwakali umwi mwalumi wamuchisi chaku Sizaliya, wakali kutegwa Kkoneliyasi, mwendelezi wabasilumamba balimwaanda baku Itali.
2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, also doing many kind acts to the people, and always imploring God;
Wakali mwalumi ulipede, akuyoowa Leza antomwe abang'anda yakwe, wakali kupa mali kulibabo bakali kubula, alimwi wakali kukomba God lyoonse.
3 he saw in a vision openly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to him, and saying to him, “Cornelius”;
Achindi chamahola ali musanu aane kuseni, wakabona chilengano chamungelo wa Leza kaza kulinguwe. Mungelo wakati, “Kkoneliyasi!”
4 and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your kind acts came up for a memorial before God,
Kkoneliyasi wakalangisisya mungelo alimwi chakuyowa kapati wasikuti, “Uwambanzi, yomwalumi?” Mungelo wakati kulinguwe, “Inkombyo abwabi bwako kubafwaba zyasika kujulu mbuli chipo chaku yeeyegwa mubuliwo bwa Leza.
5 and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
Lino tuma balumi kuchisi chaku Jopa bakandetele mwalumi utegwa Sayimoni utegwa Pita.
6 this one lodges with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one will speak to you what you must do.”
Ukkala amusuki uwuzikidwe kuti Sayimoni, ulaang'anda ili afwifwi ankomwe yalwizi.”
7 And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his servants, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,
Eelyo mungelo wakaambula kulinguwe nakeenda, Kkoneliyasi wakayita babeleki bakwe bobile bamuunzi, alimwi asilumamba umwi wakali pedelede akati kabonse bakali kumubelekela.
8 and having expounded all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Kkoneliyasi waka baambila zyoonse zyakachitika mpawo wabatuma kuti bayinke ku Jopa.
9 And on the next day, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour,
Lino mubuzuba bwakatobela achiindi chamahoola alimusanu alimwi, kabachili mulwendo lwabo alimwi kabali babafwifwi achisi, Pita wakatanta mung'anda yamujulu kuyokomba.
10 and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell on him a trance,
Mpawo wakaba enzala kayanda kulya chimwi nchanga ulalya, pesi bantu bakachili kujika chakulya, wakapegwa chilengano,
11 and he beholds Heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down on the earth,
alimwi wakabona julu lijulikide mpawo achibikilo chakalibonia, chakali mbuli mucheka mupati kuyobuseluka kuuza enyika kuujisi mabazu awo aane.
12 in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky,
Mulinguwo kwakali banyama bamisyobo yoonse bakali amawulu aane azinyama ziyavula anyika, alimwi abayuni bawuluka mujulu.
13 and there came a voice to him: “Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.”
Eelyo kwakasika ijwi kuli Pita lyasikuti, “Buka, ujaye alimwi
14 And Peter said, “Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean”;
uulye.” Pesi Pita wakati, “Peepe, Mwami; nkambo takwe nindakalyide chintu chisofwede pe alimwi chitasalali.”
15 and [there is] a voice again a second time to him: “What God cleansed, you do not declare common”;
Pesi ijwi lyakamusikila lubo kachibili lyasikuti: “Echo Mwami Leza nchakasalazya, toyelede pe kuchaamba kuti chilisofwede.”
16 and this was done three times, and again was the vessel received up to Heaven.
Eezi zyakachitika tutatu; eelyo chibikilo chakabwedezegwa lubo kujulu.
17 And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, behold, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
Eelyo Pita naka chili kuzilikila chilengano nchakabona kuti chakali kwambanzi, amubone, balumi aabo bakatumidwe a Kkoneliyasi bakalimvwi amulyango, kabali kubuzya inzila iya kung'anda.
18 and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, lodges here.
Bakasompezya mpawo babuzya naa Sayimoni uutegwa Pita, wakali kukkala mpawo na.
19 And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you;
Awo Pita nakachili kuyeeya azyechilengano, Muuya wakamba kuti kulinguwe, “Langa, balumi batatu balikuyandula nduwe.
20 but having risen, go down and go on with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them”;
Buka useluke uyende aabo. Uta doneki pe kweenda abo, nkambo ndili batumide.”
21 and Peter having come down to the men who have been sent from Cornelius to him, said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek, what [is] the cause for which you are present?”
Elyo Pita wakaseluka wayinka kubalumi wakubaambila kuti, “Ndendime oyo ngumulokuyandula. Mwazidaanzi?”
22 And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for you, to his house, and to hear sayings from you.”
Bakati, “Mwendelezi wabasilumamba balimwaanda, utegwa Kkoneliyasi, mwalumi musalali oyo uyowa Leza, alimwi oyo wamba abubotu kunyika yoonse yama Juda, wakapegwa mulumbe kuzwa kuli Leza mukwinda mumungelo usalala oyo wakapa kuti tutumwe kuti webo ubole kung'anda yakwe, kuti akaswilile mulumbe kuzwa kulinduwe.”
23 Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the next day Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brothers from Joppa went with him,
Lino Pita wakabayita kuti baze bazokkale amwi. Mubuzuba bwakatobela, wakabuka mpawo winka ambabo, alimwi bamwi babunyina bazwa ku Jopa bakamusindikila.
24 and on the next day they entered into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and near friends,
Mubuzuba butobela bakasika ku Sizaliya. Kkoneliyasi wakali balindide; wakali watamba baluzubo lwakwe antoomwe abenzinyina baafwifwi.
25 and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, worshiped [him];
Awo Pita wakanjila, Kkoneliyasi wakamutambula mpawo wawida aansi amawulu akwe, wakomba.
26 and Peter raised him, saying, “Stand up; I am also a man myself”;
Pesi Pita wakamubusya wamba kuti, “Buka! Ambebo ndili muntu biyo.”
27 and talking with him he went in, and finds many having come together.
Eelyo Pita naakachili kwambula anguwe, wakanjila mpawo wajana bantu bakali bungene aamwi.
28 And he said to them, “You know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come to, one of another race, but God showed to me to call no man common or unclean;
Wakabambila kuti, “Inywe lwanu mulizizi kuti takuzumininwi pe kuti mwalumi mu Juda ayenzyanie amwenzu nikuba kumuswaya. Pesi Mwami Leza wakanditondezya kuti nsyelede pe kwamba muntu naba umwi kuti uli sofweede nikuba kumwamba kuti ngu simatombe.
29 therefore also without contradicting I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter you sent for me?”
Nchenchicho nchindakaza kanditakazyi pe, nimwakandiita. Pesi ndibuzya nchimwakandiitila.”
30 And Cornelius said, “Four days ago until this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in radiant clothing,
Kkoneliyasi wakamba kuti, “Musule amazuba aane muhola ndilyo eli, ndakali kukomba muhola lyamusanu aane mung'anda yangu; Amubone, mwalumi wakayima kunembo lyangu kasamide chibaki chabayima.
31 and he said, Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your kind acts were remembered before God;
Wakaamba kuti, “Kkoneliyasi, nkombyo yako yamvwigwa a Leza, abululami bwako bwayeeyezya Mwami Leza atala anduwe.
32 send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, will speak to you;
Lino tuma umwi ayinke ku Jopa, akakwitile mwali utegwa Sayimoni ulezina litegwa Pita. Ukkala mung'anda yamusuki wazikwiiye wiitwa kuti Sayimoni, kumbali lyankomwe yalwizi.' mpawo mpawawo ndakakutumina bantu. Kulangunukide kuti uze.
33 at once, therefore, I sent to you; you also did well, having come; now, therefore, we are all present before God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
Lino obuno, toonse mpotuli ano kunembo lya Leza kuti tumvwe zyonse nzimwaka layililwa kuzwa ku Mwami.”
34 And Peter having opened his mouth, said, “Of a truth, I perceive that God is not favoring by appearance,
Mpawo Pita wakamba kuti, “Chakasimpe, Ndakabona kuti Leza talangi chiimo.
35 but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
Anukuti, Munyika imwi ayimwi kufumbwa umuyoowa akuchita bululami ulatambulika kuli nguwe.
36 the word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news—peace through Jesus Christ (this One is Lord of all),
Mulilizi ijwi ndyakatumizya kubantu baku Izilayeli, awo nakali kwambuula makani mabotu alumuuno mukwinda muli Jesu Kkilisito, Mwami wazyonse -
37 you have known the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the immersion that John preached;
inywe ilwanu mulizizi zyakachitika, zyakaba munyika yoonse yamu Judiya, kazitangunina mu Galili, Joni nakazwa kwambula azyalubbizyo;
38 Jesus who [is] from Nazareth—how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the Devil, because God was with Him;
ezyo zyakali atala a Jesu waku Nazaleta, kuti mbobuli Leza mbwakamunanika a Muuya Uusalala antomwe anguzu. Wakayita zintu zibotu akuponesya abo boonse bakali kutamizigwa aba siluuni a satani, nkambo Leza wakali anguwe.
39 and we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem—whom they slew, having hanged [Him] on a tree.
Tuli bakamboni bazintu zyonse eezyo zyakachitwa a Jesu, munyika yama Juda alimwi amu Jelusalema. Bakamujaya mpawo bamulengelezya amusamu,
40 This One God raised up [on] the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
pesi Mwami Leza wakamubusya mubuzuba bwatatu akumuchita kuti abonwe,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God—to us who ate with [Him], and drank with Him, after His rising out of the dead;
pepe kubantu boonse, pesi kuti kubakamboni abo bakasalidwe kale a Mwami Leza - andiswe andiswe nitwakalya anguwe kali wabuka kuzwa kubafu
42 and He commanded us to preach to the people, and to fully testify that it is He who has been ordained judge of living and dead by God—
Wakatwambila kuti tukabambile bantu alimwi akwambisya kuti oyu ngonguwe wakasalidwe a Mwami Leza kuti abe mubetesi wabachipona abakafwa.
43 to this One do all the Prophets testify, that through His Name everyone that is believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
Nkulinguwe nkukwakaba kuti basinsimi bonse bambule majwi mayingi azyakwe, kuchitila kuti boonse bamusyobo ma bakatambule lulekelelo lwazibi zyabo mukwinda muzina lyakwe.”
44 While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy Spirit fell on all those hearing the word,
Eelyo Pita nakachili kwambuula zintu ezi zyonse, Muuya Uusalala wakaba selukila abo boonse bakali kuswilizya nzyakali kwambula.
45 and those of circumcision [who were] believing were astonished—as many as came with Peter—because the gift of the Holy Spirit has also been poured out on the nations,
Abo bantu boonse bakali munkamu yabakali palwidwe abakali basyomi - boonse bakazide a Pita - bakagamba, nkambo Muuya Uusalala wakabasikila abalabo bamaasi mpawonya awo.
46 for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
Nkambo bakamvwa bamaasi abalabo kabaambula mumilaka imbi kabalumbayizya Mwami Leza. Mpawo Pita wakasandula wasikuti,
47 Then Peter answered, “Is anyone able to forbid the water, that these may not be immersed, who received the Holy Spirit—even as us also?”
“Mpalina muntu uunga ulakasya meenda kuti bantu batabbizigwi pe, aaba bantu batambula Muuya Uusalala antomwe andiswe?”
48 He commanded them to also be immersed in the Name of the LORD; then they implored him to remain certain days.
Lino wakalayilila kuti babbizigwe muzina lya Jesu Kkilisito. Eelyo bakamukumbila kuti bakkale amwi kwamazuba mingi.
