< Acts 10 >
1 [There was] a man [who lived] in Caesarea [city] whose name was Cornelius. He was an officer who commanded 100 men in a large group of [Roman] soldiers from Italy.
Urunu ma rani ani pen nu kaisariya niza nimeme Karniliyas, una je uma soja nan nigo sa atisa Italiya.
2 He always tried to do what would please God; he and his entire household [MTY] [were non-Jews who] habitually worshipped God. He sometimes gave money to help poor [Jewish] people, and he prayed to God regularly.
Unu me makunna biyyau ba Asere, mi nan na hanna ameme wa tarsi Asere, mazi ma benki Ayahudawa ini kirfi gbardang, ama wuzi biringara ko ya uwui.
3 [One day] at about three o’clock in the afternoon [Cornelius saw] a vision. He clearly saw an angel whom God [had sent]. The angel came into [his room] and said to him, “Cornelius!”
Uhana uganiya azumo kataru innu winjoro, abezime anyimo atiro tibi bibeu ba Asere ba ē ahira ameme bibeu me ba gunme, ''Karniliyas.''
4 Cornelius stared at the angel and became terrified. Then he asked [fearfully], “Sir, what do you [(sg)] want?” The angel answered him, “You [(sg)] have pleased God because you have been praying [regularly to him] and you often give money to [help] poor people. [Those things have been] like a sacrifice [to God].
Karniliyas ma riki bibeu bu gomo Asere aje ani hunzi, magu, ''nyanini izi una kura?'' Bibeu bi kadura ba gun me, ''biringara bu weme nan nu ningizi anabu aweme wa benki azesere, imum irengizi ahira ugomo Asere.''
5 So, now command some men to go to Joppa and [tell them to] bring back a man named Simon whose other name is Peter.
''Ana me tuma anabu, uhan anipin nu yafa waka ayen desa atisa me sminu sa, a tisa me Bitrus.''
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
Ma ciki nigo nan saminu, desa akura ameme aciki ani kira nuraba.
7 When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had gone, Cornelius summoned two of his household servants and a soldier who served him, one who also worshipped God.
Sa bibeu me ba buki tize nan me madusa, Kaniliyas ma tit anwa re, anyimo arere akura ameme, nanu soja u inde unu tarsa Asere anyimo ama soja me sawa wuzi me katuma.
8 He explained to them everything [that the angel had said. Then] he told them to go to Joppa [to ask Peter to come to Caesarea].
Karniliyas bukiwe vat imumbe sa awuzi manno ma tumiwe uyafa.
9 About noon the next day those [three men] were traveling [along the road] and were coming near [Joppa. As they were approaching Joppa], Peter went up on the [flat] housetop to pray.
A amura uhana azumo anu tasi (inna atii uwui) wazin tanu sa wa hana mamu nan nipin me, Bitrus ma nyene ahira akunta barki mawu biringara.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
Mano makunna ikomo, mazinu nyara imumare, mazin nu unyara imare sa madi rii, uganiya me aye wazin nu sira imare.
11 (He saw heaven open/He saw an opening in the sky) and something like a large sheet was being lowered [to the ground]. [It was tied at] its four corners [with ropes].
Manno mā iri masa mazesere ma pokino ma iri iremum ituzo kasi iso, ire mum kasi ugudom udandang uzin nu tuzo anyimo unee, azin nu tuzo ini tikira kanazi.
12 Inside the sheet were all kinds of creatures. [These included animals and birds that the Mosaic laws forbade Jews to eat]. Some had four feet, others scurried across the ground, and others were wild birds.
Anyimo a ini vat bibar bara binama ya-iro iti buna tinazi nan anu hungoapuru adize nan ni nyin ya zesere.
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
Ine ini nigmirang nabuki tize nan me, ''hira, Bitrus, uweki u-rii.''
14 But Peter replied, “Lord, surely you [(sg)] do not [really want me to do that]! I have never eaten any [meat] that [our Jewish law says] is unacceptable to God or [something that we(exc)] must not eat!”
Bitrus magu, ''ane ani ba, ugomo Asere, mi inriza imum izenzen ba nani imim imadini ba.''
15 [Then Peter heard] [MTY] God talk to him a second time. He said, “[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!”
Ine ini nigmirang na kuri ni ē me; ''u-aye ukure, imumbe sa ugomo Asere ma kpico ini, kati ititi ini imum izenzen ba.''
16 [This happened] three [times, so Peter knew that he had to think carefully about what it might mean]. Immediately [after God had said that the third time], ([the] sheet [with the animals and birds] was the pulled back into heaven/[someone] pulled the sheet [with the animals and birds] up into the sky again).
Iginome yakem kataru; abineme aziki isome uhana anyimo azesere.
17 While Peter was trying to understand what that vision meant, the men who had been sent by Cornelius {whom Cornelius had sent} [arrived in Joppa. They asked people how to get to] Simon’s house. [So they found his house] and were standing outside the gate.
Uganiya me sa Bitrus mazi bidi bidi anyimo ati rome sa ma iri ma iri anabu sa Karniliyas matumi we wa turi ana tukum akura me, sawa iki una uhana akura me.
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
Wanno wa isi ana kura me wa ikiwe nani saminu desa atisa me Bitrus a ma rāa abini me.
19 While Peter was still trying to understand [what] the vision [meant], [God’s] Spirit said to him, “Three men [are here who] want to see you.
Uganiya sa Bitrus maizn nu basa iriba usuro utiro me sa ma wuzi, bibeu ba Asere bagun me, ''ira anawa taru wazin nu nyara uwe.''
20 So get up and go downstairs and go with them! Do not think that you [(sg)] should not go with them [because of their being non-Jews], because I have sent them [here]!”
Hira utuu udusa nigo nan we. Kati udi ba dusa nigo nan we, ''barki mimani matuma we.''
21 So Peter went down to the men and said to them, “[Greetings!] I am [the man] you are looking for. Why have you come?”
Bitrus matuu maha ahira anabu magu, ''mimani desa izinnu nyara me, nyanizi ya ayeni?''
22 One of them replied, “Cornelius, who is a [Roman] army officer, [sent us here]. He is a righteous man who worships God, and all of the Jewish people [HYP] [who know about him] say that he is a very good man. An angel (who was sent from God/whom God sent) said to him, ‘Tell some men to [go to Joppa to see Simon Peter and] bring him here, so that you [(sg)] can hear what he has to say.’”
Wanno wagu, ''unaje uma soja mani nizame Karniliyas una kadura kani matarsa ugomo Asere, mazin nu rusa uririn vat anyimo ayahudawa me mani desa bibeu birere ba Asere batu mi me agi ma ē ma kunna kadura ahira ameme.''
23 So Peter [said that he would go with them, and then he] invited them into [the house] and told them that they could stay [there that night]. Acts 10:23b-26 The next day Peter got ready and went with the men. Several of the believers from Joppa went with him.
Biturs titi we wa ē wa cukuno nigome nan we. Anu henu me sa wa rani uyafa waka tibime.
24 The day after that, they arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them. He had also invited his relatives and close friends [to come to his house, so they were there, too].
Innu sana ahira ukure sawa ribe ukaisariya, Karniliyas me ma nyargi we; Manno ma kiti anu henu umeme nan na roni ameme amamu.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
Ya cukuno uganiya sa Bitrus ma ribe, Karniliyas ma gurna nan me manno ma tunguno ma nonziko me.
26 But Peter [grasped Cornelius by the hand and] lifted him to his feet. He said, “Stand up! [Do not revere/worship me] I myself am only human, [like you]!”
Bitrus manno ma hirza me, ''magun me hira utonno unubo mani kasi hu.''
27 While he was talking to Cornelius, Peter [and the others] entered [a large room inside the house]. Peter saw that many people had gathered together [there].
Uganiya me sa Bitrus mazin tize nan me, ma ribe ahira ameme makem anabu gbardang wa orno ahira inde.
28 Then Peter said to them, “You all know that any [of us] Jews think we are disobeying [our Jewish] laws if we [(exc)] associate with a non-Jewish person or [if we even] visit him. However, God has shown me [in a vision] that I should not say about anyone that God will not accept him.
Manno magun we, ''shi ina acce asheme irusa daki ya wuna urii unu wa yahudawa ma uzi nironi nani maka iso uye nani nire nikura sas. Ugomo Asere magun me kati iireni nan na namadini nani unu zenzen.
29 So when you sent [some men] to ask me to come [here], I came [right away. I] did not say that I could not go [with non-Jewish people. So, please tell me], why have you asked me to come [here]?”
Ine ini ya wuna ma aye azome mataraba, uganiya me sa ya titi mi ma ikiwe barki anime ma iko shi nyanizi yatu ma ahira am agi in ē.''
30 Cornelius replied, “About this time four days ago I was praying [to God] in my house, [as I regularly do] at three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man whose clothes [shone] brightly stood in front of me,
Karniliyas magu, ''tiye ti nazi sata aka rep uganiya uginome, inze biringara uhana (azuma kataru) akura am, manno ma iri aye maturi in tirunga ti lau.
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, when you [(sg)] have prayed, you have been heard by God {God has heard [when] you [(sg)] have prayed [to him]}. He has also noticed that you have [often] given money to [help] poor people, [and he is pleased with that].
Magun Karniliyas Asere ma kunna biringara buwe me, ubengizi wanabu wa una ugomo Asere ma ringin hu.
32 So now, send [messengers to go] to Joppa, [in order] to ask Simon whose other name is Peter to come [here]. He is staying near the ocean in a house that belongs to [another] man named Simon, who makes leather. [When Simon Peter comes, he will tell you a message from God].’
Barki anime tuma uye uyafa, maka titawe unani za ni saminu desa atisa me Bitrus. Ma ciki akura asaminu, sa arani ani kira nuraba.
33 So I immediately sent [some men who asked] you [(sg) to come here], and I [certainly] thank you for coming. Now we [(exc)] all are gathered [here, knowing that] God is with us, in order to hear all the things that the Lord [God] has commanded you [to say. So please speak to us].”
(Inka ma aye madi buki tize nan hu.)
34 So Peter began to speak [MTY] to them. He said, “[Now] I understand that it is true that God does not favor only certain groups [of people].
Bitrus mā poki anyo ameme magu, ''kadure, kani ugomo Asere ma beziz uhar zina ba.
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
Usuro anime, anyimo anabo vat unu tarsa Asere nan desa ma wuza imum iriri imumu ukaba Asere.
36 [You know] the message that God sent to [us] Israelis. [He] proclaimed [to us the good news that he] would cause [people] to have peace [with him] because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. This [Jesus is Lord not only over us Israelis. He] is [also the] Lord [who rules] over all [people].
Shi irusan kadura me sa ma tumi anu isra'ila, uganiya sama bu abanga ariri, unata iriba ahira a Yeso, desa memani ugomo Asere vat.
37 You know what [he] did throughout the land of Judea, beginning in Galilee. He began [to do those things] after John had been proclaiming [to people that they should turn away from their sinful behavior before] he baptized them.
Shi inna ace ashime irusa, abanga aginome, sa awuzi anyimo Ayahudawa ani ugalili, uganiya me sa Yahya mabuki abanga u zorso anabo.
38 You know that God gave [MTY] his Holy Spirit to Jesus, [the Man] from Nazareth [town], and gave him the power [to do miracles. You also know] how Jesus went to many places, always doing good deeds and healing [people. Specifically], he was continually healing all the people whom the devil was causing to suffer. [Jesus was able to do those things] because God was always helping him.”
Abanga a Yeso unu nozari, ane ani ugomo Asere ma inki me sas nan bibeu ba Asere ubezi. Makuri mareje innu wuza imum iriri nan nu hamza andesa bibeu bi zenzen ba tirzi we, barki Asere mazi nigo nan me.
39 “We [apostles] tell people about all the things that [we saw Jesus] do in Jerusalem and in the [rest of] Israel. [The leaders in Jerusalem] had him killed by being nailed to a cross.
Haru anu bezi wani, usuro u timumu tige sa mā wuzi vat amanyanga ma yahudawa nan na anyimo urshalima, mimani Yeso sa wā hume, usuro ukotiko ume azesere utiti.
40 However, God caused him to become alive again on the third day [after he had died]. God [also] enabled [some of us(exc)] to see him [so that we would know that he was alive again].
Unu gino me, Asere ahirza me, u wui utaru ugomo Asere mā buki anabu Yeso ma hira.
41 God [did] not [let] all the [Jewish] people see him. Instead, he had chosen us [apostles] beforehand to see [Jesus after he became alive again], and to tell others [about him]. We [apostles are the people] who ate meals with him (after he had become alive [again]/after he had risen from the dead).
Azo usuro vat anabu, usuro andesa ugomo Asere mamu zaukawe dati haru acce aru, andesa tare ti sii nigo nan me uganiya me sa ahirza me anyimo icau.
42 God commanded us to preach to the people and tell them that Jesus is the one whom he has appointed to judge [everyone some day. He will judge all] those who will [still] be living and all those who will have died [by that time].
Ma hem haru tibu anabu tize tumeme, tikuri tirusi memani Asere azauka me, ma wuzi we tize tini kabbo usuro andesa wa vengize nan nadesa wazi mu kizi.
43 All of the prophets [who wrote about the Messiah long ago] told [people] about him. [They wrote] that if people believe in the Messiah [MTY], God would forgive [them for] their sins, because of what [the Messiah would do] for them.”
Usuro ahira ame vat anu kurizizo uyize wa bezi, urusa umeme barki vat desa manya kadure ahira ameme madi kem ukpico umadini usuro uni za nu meme.
44 While Peter was still speaking those words, suddenly the Holy Spirit (came down on/began to control) all [those non-Jewish people] who were listening to the message.
Uganiya sa Bitrus mazin tize abanga atimumum tigino me, bibeu bu gomo Asere batuu ahira andesa wazinnu kunna tize tumeme.
45 The Jewish believers who had come with Peter [from Joppa] were amazed that [God] had generously given the Holy Spirit to the non-Jewish people, too.
Anabu sa wa rani anyimo ani gura nanu tarsa utize, ta Asere sa wa hem inni gbari vat andesa wa ē nigo nan Bitrus wa iri imum ibiyau, barki ukem ubibeu ba Asere sa ba-tuu anyimo anabu.
46 [The Jewish believers knew that God had done that] because they were hearing those people speaking languages [MTY] [that they had not learned] and telling how great God is.
Barki wa kunna anabu wazin tize in are lem wanno wa nonziko ugomo Asere. Bitrus manno makabirka.
47 Then Peter said [to the other Jewish believers who were there], “[God] has given them the Holy Spirit just like [he gave him] to us [Jewish believers], so (surely all of you would agree that [we(exc)] should baptize these people!/would any of you forbid that these people should be baptized?) [RHQ]”
''Nani uye marani sa madi karti azoro anabo in gmei, barki we wakaba bibeu ba ASere kasi haru.''
48 Then Peter told those [non-Jewish] people that they should be baptized [to show that they had believed] [MTY] in the [Lord] Jesus Christ. [So they baptized all of them. After they were baptized], they requested that Peter stay [with them] several days. [So Peter and the other Jewish believers did that].
Manno mabuki azorowe anyimo aniza ni Yeso. Wanno wagun me ma cukuno nan we uhana tire tiye.
