Acts 10
1 Now there was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort.
Na Sezarea, ezalaki na moto moko oyo kombo na ye ezalaki « Kornei; » azalaki mokonzi ya basoda oyo babengamaka « mampinga ya Itali. »
2 He was a devout man who feared God along with his entire household; he gave generously to those in need and always prayed to God.
Kornei elongo na bato nyonso ya libota na ye bazalaki komipesa na makambo ya Nzambe mpe kotosa Nzambe; azalaki kosunga bato oyo bazalaki kati na bosenga ya ndenge na ndenge mpe kosambela Nzambe tango nyonso.
3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God, who came in and said to him, “Cornelius!”
Mokolo moko, na ngonga pene ya misato sima na midi, azwaki emoniseli; amonaki na polele anjelu moko ya Nzambe koya epai na ye mpe koloba na ye: — Kornei!
4 Staring at him intently, Cornelius was afraid and said, “What is it, Lord?” The angel said to him, “Yoʋr prayers and charitable acts have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
Kornei atalaki ye na somo mpe atunaki: — Nkolo, likambo nini? Anjelu azongisaki: — Mabondeli na yo mpe masungi oyo opesaka epai ya babola emati liboso ya Nzambe, mpe akanisi yango.
5 Now send men to Joppa and have them bring back Simon, who is called Peter.
Sik’oyo, tinda bato, na Jafa, mpo bakende kobenga Simona oyo kombo na ye mosusu ezali « Petelo; »
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea.”
azali kovanda lokola mopaya kati na ndako ya Simona, mobongisi baposo ya banyama, oyo ndako na ye ezali pene ya ebale monene.
7 When the angel who spoke to him went away, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
Tango kaka anjelu oyo asololaki na ye akendeki, Kornei abengaki basali mibale kati na basali na ye, mpe soda moko oyo azalaki komipesa na makambo ya Nzambe, kati na basoda oyo bazalaki kosalela ye.
8 After explaining everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Ayebisaki bango makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki ye mpe atindaki bango na Jafa.
9 On the next day, as the men were traveling along and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about the sixth hour.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, na ngonga pene ya midi, wana bato oyo Kornei atindaki bazalaki nanu na nzela mpe bakomaki pene ya Jafa, Petelo amataki na veranda oyo ezalaki na likolo ya ndako mpo na kosambela.
10 He became hungry and wanted to eat, and as they were preparing a meal, a trance fell upon him.
Ayokaki nzala mpe azalaki na posa ya kolia, mpe wana bazalaki nanu kobongisela ye bilei, akweyaki na Molimo.
11 He saw heaven opened and an object like a large sheet coming down to him. It was tied at its four corners and was being lowered to the earth.
Amonaki Likolo efungwami, mpe eloko moko lokola elamba monene basimba na basonge na yango minei ezali kokita na mabele.
12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, as well as wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
Kati na yango, ezalaki na lolenge nyonso ya banyama ya mabele, oyo ezali na makolo minei; ya banyama oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe ya bandeke ya likolo.
13 Then a voice came to him: “Rise, Peter, kill and eat.”
Bongo mongongo moko elobaki na ye: — Petelo, telema. Boma mpe lia.
14 But Peter said, “Surely not, Lord! For I have never eaten anything that is defiled or unclean.”
Petelo azongisaki: — Te, Nkolo! Natikala nanu kolia te eloko ya mbindo to ya bosoto.
15 The voice came to him again a second time: “Do not regard as defiled what God has made clean.”
Mongongo yango elobaki na ye, mpo na mbala ya mibale: — Eloko nyonso oyo Nzambe akomisi peto, yo, komona yango mbindo te!
16 This happened three times, and then the object was taken up again into heaven.
Esalemaki bongo mbala misato, mpe eloko yango elimwaki kati na Likolo.
17 While Peter was greatly perplexed, pondering within himself what the vision he had seen might mean, behold, the men sent by Cornelius had asked for Simon's house and were standing at the gate.
Petelo akamwaki mingi mpe akomaki komituna ndimbola ya emoniseli oyo awuti kozwa. Kaka na tango yango, batindami ya Kornei bamonaki ndako ya Simona, oyo bazalaki koluka, mpe batelemaki na ekuke.
18 They called out and asked if Simon, who was called Peter, was staying there.
Babelelaki mpe batunaki soki ezali kuna nde Simona avandaka, Simona oyo kombo na ye mosusu ezali « Petelo. »
19 As Peter continued pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, some men are looking for yoʋ.
Wana Petelo azalaki kaka komitungisa mpo na emoniseli oyo awuti kozwa, Molimo alobaki na ye: — Simona, bato misato bazali koluka yo.
20 Now get up, go downstairs, and go with them without any misgivings, for I have sent them.”
Telema mpe kita. Kende elongo na bango, kotia tembe te, pamba te ngai nde natindi bango.
21 So Peter went down to the men and said, “Behold, I am the one you are looking for. For what reason have you come?”
Petelo akitaki mpe alobaki na bato yango: — Ngai oyo! Ezali ngai nde bozali koluka. Boyei mpo na nini?
22 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the entire Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for yoʋ to come to his house and to hear a message from yoʋ.”
Bato yango bazongisaki: — Towuti epai ya Kornei, mokonzi ya basoda; azali moto ya sembo mpe atosaka Nzambe, mpe Bayuda nyonso bazali kotatola bolamu na tina na ye. Anjelu ya bule ayebisaki ye ete abengisa yo kati na ndako na ye mpo ete ayoka makambo oyo ozali na yango ya koloba na ye.
23 So Peter invited them in and put them up for the night. The next day Peter went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
Petelo akotisaki bango na ndako mpe apesaki bango esika ya kolala. Mokolo oyo elandaki, Petelo akendeki elongo na bango, mpe ndambo ya bandimi balandaki ye wuta na Jafa.
24 The following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
Sima na mokolo moko, bakomaki na Sezarea. Kornei azalaki kozela bango, mpe abengisaki bato ya libota na ye mpe balingami na ye mpo ete bazala lisanga.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.
Tango Petelo alingaki kokota na ndako, Kornei apusanaki pene na ye, amibwakaki na makolo na ye mpo na kogumbamela ye.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am just a man.”
Kasi Petelo atelemisaki ye; alobaki: — Telema! Ngai mpe nazali kaka moto.
27 As Peter talked with him, he went in and found many people gathered together.
Wana bazalaki kosolola, Petelo akotaki na ndako mpe akutaki bato ebele basangani.
28 Peter said to them, “You know that it is forbidden for a Jewish man to keep company with or associate with a foreigner, but God has shown me that I should call no one defiled or unclean.
Alobaki na bango: — Boyebi malamu ete mibeko na biso epekisa Moyuda kosangana na Mopagano to kokende kotala Mopagano; kasi Nzambe alakisi ngai ete nasengeli te komona moto moko mbindo to bosoto.
29 That is why I came without objection when I was sent for. I ask then, what is the reason you have sent for me?”
Yango wana, tango botindaki bato kobenga ngai, natunaki ata motuna moko te mpo na koya. Sik’oyo, nakoki koyeba tina nini bobengeli ngai?
30 Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour. At the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing.
Kornei azongisaki: — Eleki mikolo misato, na ngonga lokola oyo, ngonga ya misato sima na midi, nazalaki kosambela kati na ndako na ngai. Mbala moko, moto moko alata bilamba ya kongenga makasi atelemaki liboso na ngai
31 The man said, ‘Cornelius, yoʋr prayer has been heard, and yoʋr charitable acts have been remembered before God.
mpe alobaki: « Kornei, Nzambe ayoki mabondeli na yo mpe akanisi masungi oyo opesaka epai ya babola.
32 Therefore send to Joppa and ask for Simon, who is called Peter. He is staying by the sea in the house of a tanner named Simon. When he arrives, he will speak to yoʋ.’
Tinda bato, na Jafa, mpo bakende kobenga Simona oyo kombo na ye mosusu ezali Petelo; azali kovanda lokola mopaya kati na ndako ya Simona, mobongisi baposo ya banyama, oyo ndako na ye ezali pene ya ebale monene. »
33 So I sent for yoʋ at once, and yoʋ have done well by coming. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to hear all that yoʋ have been commanded by God.”
Yango wana, natindaki bato noki-noki epai na yo, mpe osali malamu ndenge oyei. Sik’oyo, biso nyonso tozali awa liboso ya Nzambe mpo na koyoka nyonso oyo Nkolo atindi yo koyebisa biso.
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “Now I truly understand that God shows no partiality,
Petelo azwaki maloba mpe alobaki: — Sik’oyo, nasosoli solo ete Nzambe atalaka bilongi te,
35 but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
kasi andimaka bato ya bikolo nyonso, oyo batosaka Ye mpe basalaka makambo ya sembo.
36 You yourselves know the message he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all,
Atindaki Liloba na Ye epai ya bana ya Isalaele mpo na kosakola Sango Malamu ya kimia, na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto oyo azali Nkolo ya bato nyonso.
37 the message that spread throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John preached:
Boyebi makambo oyo esalemaki na Yuda mobimba, kobanda na Galile, sima na libatisi oyo Yoane ateyaki:
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, who then went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.
ndenge nini Nzambe atondisaki Yesu ya Nazareti na Molimo Mosantu mpe na nguya, mpe ndenge nini atambolaki bipai na bipai mpo na kosala bolamu mpe kobikisa bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na se ya nguya ya Satana, pamba te Nzambe azalaki elongo na Ye.
39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a cross,
Biso, tozali batatoli ya makambo nyonso oyo Yesu asalaki kati na mokili ya Bayuda mpe kati na Yelusalemi. Babomaki Ye mpe babakaki Ye na ekulusu,
40 but God raised him up on the third day and allowed him to be seen,
kasi Nzambe asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi, na mokolo ya misato, mpe asalaki ete amonana lisusu.
41 not by all the people, but by us, the witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
Amonanaki na bato nyonso te, kasi na batatoli oyo Nzambe apona wuta kala, na biso oyo toliaki mpe tomelaki elongo na Ye, sima na Ye kosekwa kati na bakufi.
42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one who has been appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead.
Apesaki biso mitindo ya koteya bato mpe kotatola ete Ye nde Nzambe apona lokola Mosambisi ya bato ya bomoi mpe bakufi.
43 All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives remission of sins through his name.”
Basakoli nyonso batatolaki na tina na Ye ete moto nyonso oyo akondimela Ye akozwa bolimbisi ya masumu na nzela ya Kombo na Ye.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the message.
Wana Petelo azalaki nanu koloba, Molimo Mosantu akitelaki bato nyonso oyo bazalaki koyoka Liloba.
45 All the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was being poured out even on the Gentiles.
Bandimi oyo bazalaki bakatama ngenga, oyo bayaki elongo na Petelo wuta na Jafa, bakamwaki mingi komona ete Nzambe asopi likabo ya Molimo Mosantu epai ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya.
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter responded,
Pamba te bayokaki bango koloba na nkota mosusu mpe kokumisa Nzambe. Bongo Petelo alobaki:
47 “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
— Solo, moto moko te akoki koboya ete bazwa libatisi ya mayi. Bazwi Molimo Mosantu ndenge kaka biso tozwaki.
48 So he gave orders to have them baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.
Boye, Petelo apesaki mitindo ete babatisa bango na Kombo na Yesu-Klisto. Bongo, basengaki na Petelo ete avanda elongo na bango mpo na mwa mikolo.
