Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Cesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion that called the Italian Band,
Awo mu kibuga Kayisaliya mwalimu omusajja omuserikale, erinnya lye Koluneeriyo, eyakuliranga ekitongole ky’abaserikale ekikumi ekyayitibwanga Ekitaliano.
2 a man of piety, and one that feared God, with all his house; giving, also, much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
Yali ayagala nnyo Katonda era ng’amusaamu nnyo ekitiibwa, ye n’ab’omu maka ge bonna, ng’agabira nnyo abaavu, era ng’asaba Katonda bulijjo.
3 He evidently saw, in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius!
Lwali lumu ku ssaawa nga mwenda ez’olweggulo, n’ayolesebwa, n’alabira ddala malayika wa Katonda ng’ajja gy’ali, n’amuyita nti, “Koluneeriyo!”
4 And having fixed his eyes upon him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms are come up, as a memorial before God.
Koluneeriyo n’amutunuulira enkaliriza ng’atidde nnyo. N’amubuuza nti, “Mukama wange, ogamba ki?” Malayika n’amuddamu nti, “Katonda awulidde okusaba kwo era alabye nga bw’ogabira abaavu bw’atyo n’akujjukira.
5 And now send men to Joppa and bring hither Simon, whose surname is Peter:
Kale nno, tuma basajja bo e Yopa bakimeyo omuntu erinnya lye Simooni era ayitibwa Peetero ajje akukyalire.
6 he lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.
Abeera wa Simooni omuwazi w’amaliba, era enju ye eri ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.”
7 As soon as the messenger, who spoke to Cornelius, was gone, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, of them that waited upon him;
Malayika yali yaakagenda, Koluneeriyo n’ayita abaweereza be babiri n’omuserikale atya Katonda, omu ku baweereza,
8 and having related to them all these things, he sent them to Joppa.
n’abannyonnyola byonna ebibaddewo, n’abatuma e Yopa.
9 On the next day, while they were on their journey, and drew near the city, Peter went up to the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
Ku lunaku olwaddirira bwe baali basemberera ekibuga, essaawa zaali ziwera nga mukaaga ez’omu ttuntu, Peetero n’alinnya waggulu ku kasolya k’ennyumba akaali akatereevu, okusaba.
10 And he was hungry, and would have taken a little refreshment; but while they were preparing, he fell into an ecstasy;
Yali ali eyo enjala n’emuluma, naye bwe baali bamuteekerateekera ekyokulya embeera ye n’ewaanyisibwa n’ayolesebwa.
11 and he saw heaven opened, and something descending like a great sheet, fastened at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
N’alaba eggulu nga libikkuse, ekintu ekifaanana ng’essuuka ennene ennyo, nga kinywezebbwa ku nsonda zaakyo ennya, nga kikka wansi ku ttaka.
12 in which there were all sorts of things, even four-footed animals of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air.
Kyalimu ebisolo ebirina amagulu ana byonna, n’ebyewalula byonna eby’oku nsi n’ennyonyi zonna ez’omu bbanga.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter, kill, and eat.
Awo n’awulira eddoboozi nga ligamba nti, “Peetero, situka osale, olye!”
14 But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eat anything which is common or unclean.
Peetero n’addamu nti, “Nedda, Mukama wange, kubanga siryanga ku kintu kya muzizo oba ekitali kirongoofu.”
15 And the voice said to him again, the second time, Those things which God has cleansed, do not you call common.
Eddoboozi ne liddamu okwogera naye omulundi ogwokubiri nti, “Ekyo Katonda ky’amaze okulongoosa tokiyitanga ekitali kirongoofu.”
16 And this was done three times, and the sheet was taken up again into heaven.
Ne kiba bwe kityo emirundi esatu, amangwago ekintu ekyo ekiri ng’essuuka ne kizzibwayo mu ggulu.
17 While Peter was pondering in himself, what the vision, which he had seen, might import; behold, the men, who were sent from Cornelius, having inquired out the house of Simon, stood at the door;
Peetero n’abeera awo ng’asamaaliridde. Ne yeebuuza amakulu g’okwolesebwa okwo, ne yeebuuza ne ky’asaana okukola, byonna nga bimusobedde. Mu kiseera ekyo ababaka abaatumibwa Koluneeriyo, ennyumba baali baakagizuula era nga bayimiridde wabweru ku luggi
18 and calling, they asked, if Simon, whose surname was Peter, lodged there.
nga babuuza obanga awo Simooni ayitibwa Peetero we yabeeranga.
19 Now, as Peter was reflecting on this vision; the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men are inquiring for you:
Awo Peetero bwe yali ng’akyebuuza eby’okwolesebwa okwo, Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’amugamba nti, “Laba, abasajja basatu bakunoonya.
20 arise, therefore, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them.
Situka okke wansi ogende nabo awatali kulwa kubanga nze mbatumye.”
21 Then Peter went down to the men, who were sent to him from Cornelius, and said, Behold, I am the man whom you seek; what is the cause of your coming?
Bw’atyo Peetero n’akka wansi, n’agamba abasajja abaatumibwa nti, “Ye nze gwe munoonya. Kiki ekibaleese?”
22 And they said, Cornelius, the centurion, a righteous man, who fears God, and has a character attested by all the Jewish people, has been instructed, by a holy messenger, to send for you to his house, and to hear words from you.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Koluneeriyo omukulu w’ekitongole y’atutumye. Musajja mwegendereza, atya Katonda era Abayudaaya bonna bamussaamu ekitiibwa. Yalabikirwa malayika wa Katonda n’amugamba akuyite ojje mu nnyumba ye omutegeeze Katonda by’ayagala akole.”
23 Having, therefore, called them in, he entertained them, and the next day set out with them: and some of the brethren, who were of Joppa, went with him.
Awo Peetero n’abayingiza mu nnyumba ne basulawo ekiro ekyo. Enkeera n’agenda n’abo ng’awerekerwako abooluganda abamu ab’omu Yopa.
24 And the next day they entered into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate friends.
Ku lunaku olwaddirira Peetero n’atuuka e Kayisaliya. Yasanga Koluneeriyo amulindiridde, ng’ali ne baganda be ne mikwano gye be yayita balabe Peetero.
25 Now, as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and prostrating himself at his feet, made obeisance.
Peetero bwe yayingira mu nnyumba, Koluneeriyo n’agwa wansi mu maaso ge n’amusinza.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also am a man.
Naye Peetero n’amuyimusa n’amugamba nti, “Golokoka! Nange ndi muntu buntu.”
27 And discoursing with him, he went in, and found many gathered together.
N’agolokoka ne boogeramu, ne bayingira munda mu kisenge abalala bangi mwe baali bakuŋŋaanidde.
28 And he said to them, You know that it is unlawful for a man that is a Jew to join with, or to come into the house of, one of another nation; nevertheless, God has shown me that I am to call no man common or unclean.
Awo Peetero n’abagamba nti, “Mumanyi nga mu mateeka gaffe ag’Ekiyudaaya, ffe tetuyingira mu maka g’Abamawanga. Naye Katonda yandaze mu kwolesebwa nga sisaanira kuddayo kuyisa muntu yenna ng’atali mulongoofu.
29 Wherefore, when I was sent for, I came without debate: I ask, therefore, on what account you have sent for me?
Noolwekyo olwantumira nange ne nsitukiramu. Kale, ompitidde nsonga ki?”
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright raiment,
Awo Koluneeriyo n’addamu nti, “Ennaku nnya eziyise, nnali mu nnyumba yange nga nsaba mu ssaawa nga bwe ziti omwenda ez’olweggulo. Amangwago omusajja n’ayimirira mu maaso gange ng’ayambadde engoye ezitemagana.
31 and said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are remembered before God:
N’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Koluneeriyo, Katonda awulidde okusaba kwo, era ajjukidde ebirabo byo by’ogabira abaavu.
32 send, therefore, to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodges in the house of one Simon, a tanner, by the seaside; who, when he is come, shall speak to you.
Kale nno, tuma e Yopa, oyite Simooni ayitibwa Peetero, eyakyala mu maka ga Simooni omuwazi w’amaliba ali ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.’
33 Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and you have done well in coming. Now, therefore, we are all here present before God, to hear all things which God has given to you in charge.
Bwe ntyo ne nkutumira mangu, era naawe n’okola bulungi n’ojjirawo. Kaakano ffenna tuli wano mu maaso ga Katonda nga tulindirira okuwulira ky’akutumye okutubuulira!”
34 Then Peter, opening his mouth, said, Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons;
Awo Peetero n’agamba nti, “Kaakano ntegeeredde ddala nga Katonda tasosola mu bantu,
35 but, in every nation, he that fears him, and works of righteousness, is acceptable to him.
wabula ayaniriza abantu bonna ab’omu mawanga gonna kasita baba nga bamutya era nga bakola by’asiima.
36 This is that message which he sent to the children of Israel; proclaiming the glad tidings of peace by Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
Kino kye kigambo kye yaweereza abaana ba Isirayiri ng’ababuulira emirembe mu Yesu Kristo, Mukama wa bonna.
37 You know the report there was, through all Judea, which began from Galilee, after the immersion which John preached,
Mumanyi ebyabaawo mu Buyudaaya mwonna okusookera mu Ggaliraaya oluvannyuma lw’okubatizibwa Yokaana kwe yabuulira.
38 concerning Jesus of Nazareth; how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit, and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
Era mumanyi bulungi Yesu Omunnazaaleesi nga Katonda bwe yamufukako amafuta ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’amaanyi, eyatambula ng’agenda akola ebirungi, ng’awonya abaanyigirizibwanga Setaani, kubanga Katonda yali naye.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem: whom they slew, hanging him on a tree.
“Ffe bajulirwa ab’ebyo byonna bye yakola mu nsi y’Abayudaaya ne mu Yerusaalemi, gye yattirwa ku musaalaba.
40 This very person God raised up, on the third day, and granted him to become manifest;
Oyo Katonda yamuzuukiza ku lunaku olwokusatu era n’amulaga eri abantu.
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who have eat and drunk with him after he arose from the dead.
Teyalabibwa bantu bonna, wabula abajulirwa Katonda be yali amaze okulonda, be baffe abaalya naye, ne tunywa naye ng’amaze okuzuukira mu bafu.
42 And he has given in charge to us to proclaim to the people, and to testify that it is he who is appointed by God, to be the judge of the living and the dead.
N’atutuma okubuulira abantu Enjiri nga tujulira nti Yesu y’oyo, Katonda gwe yalonda okubeera omulamuzi w’abantu bonna, abalamu n’abafu.
43 To him all the prophets bear witness, that every one who believes on him, shall receive forgiveness of sins by his name.
Era ne bannabbi bonna bamuweera obujulirwa nti buli amukkiriza asonyiyibwa ebibi mu linnya lye.”
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were hearing the word:
Awo Peetero bwe yali akyayogera ebigambo ebyo, Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’akka ku abo bonna abali bawuliriza ekigambo!
45 and they of the circumcision, who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished that the gift of the Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also:
Abakkiriza abakomole bangi abaawerekera ku Peetero ne beewuunya nnyo okulaba ng’ekirabo kya Mwoyo Mutukuvu kifukibbwa ne ku baamawanga.
46 for they heard them speaking in diverse languages, and glorifying God.
Kubanga baabawulira nga boogera mu nnimi endala nga batendereza Katonda. Awo Peetero n’agamba nti,
47 Then Peter answered, Can any one forbid water, that these persons should not be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
“Waliwo ayinza okuziyiza abantu bano okubatizibwa n’amazzi abafunye Mwoyo Mutukuvu nga ffe bwe twamufuna?”
48 And he ordered them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. And they entreated him to continue with them several days.
Bw’atyo n’alagira babatizibwe mu linnya lya Yesu Kristo. Ne basaba Peetero agira abeera nabo okumala ennaku ntonotono.
