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.
Aliga alio munu mulebhe mu musi gwa kaisaria, lisina lyae atogwaga Kornelio, aliga ali munu mukulu owe chise cha abhaitalia.
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.
Aliga Ali munu mulengelesi no kumlamya Nyamuanga na inyumba yae yona; Aliga nasosha jimpilya nyafu ku bhayaudi no kusabhwa ku Nyamuanga nsiku jona.
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!”
Mu mwanya gwa saa mwenda ja mumwisi, nalola ebhilolo malaika wa Nyamuanga namujako. Malaika namubhwila, “Kornelio!
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].
Kornelio namulolela malaika na aliga no bhubha bhwafu mno naika ati,”chinu ni chinuki mukulu”? Malaika namubhwila “Okusabhwa kwao ne bhiyanwa bhyao bhinu ouyanaga abhataka bhyalinyile ingulu kuti bhwichukisho bhwo kubhao kwa Nyamuanga.”
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.
Mbe woli sila abhanu bhagende ku musi gwa Yafa no kumleta omunu umwi unu katogwa Simoni ne lindi kabhilikilwa Petro.
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
Ekae na unu kayasha jinjai katogwa Simoni unu inyumba yae ili kunjejekela ya inyanja.”
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.
Malaika unu aliga naika nage ejile asokao, Kornelio nabhabhilikila abhakosi bha mu nyumba yae bhabhili, no musilikale unu aliga namulyamya Nyamuanga mu bhasilikale bhanu bhaliga nibhamukolela.
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].
Mbe Kornelio abhabhwilie gona ganu gabhonekene no kubhasila Yafa.
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.
olusiku lunu lwalubhie kuti mwanya gwa saa mukaga bhali mulugendo Mbe nibhalebhelela mu musi, Mbe Petro nalinya ingulu mulusala najo okusabhwa.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
Mbe nabha no omweko nakena echinu cho kulya, nawe mu mwanya ogwo abhanu bhaliga nibhateka ebilyo nelesibwa ebhilolo,
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].
Nalola olwile nilwiguka nechinu chilebhe kuti ngubho nene ni ika emwalo ansi ku nsonde jayo jona enna.
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.
Mbe munda yacho bhyaliga bhilimo bhinu bhyafu bhya bhuli nyami jilimo jityanyi ja magulu gana na bhinu ebhikwesa ansi, na jinyonyi ja mulutumbha.
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
Obhulaka nibhwaika lindi ku mwene “imuka, Petro ubhage na ulye.”
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!”
Mbe nawe Petro naika,” atalikutyo Latabugenyi kulwo kubha nichaliga kulya chinu chona chona chinu chili chibhibhi na chijabhi.”
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]!”
Mbe nawe Obhulaka nibhuja ku mwene lindi lwa kabhili ati, “chinu osishe Nyamuanga wasinga chitoga chibhibhi amwi chijabhi.”
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).
Gunu gwabhonekene kwiya ngendo esatu, ne chinu echo nichigegwa lindi mulutumbha.
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.
No mwanya ogwo Petro nasusana no musasi ingulu ye bhilolo ebhyo bhili na bhugajulo -ki, nalola, abhanu bhanu bhaliga bhatumilwe na Kornelio nibhemelegulu imbhele ya lilango, nibhabhusha injila yo kuja mu nyumba.
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
Mbe nibhabhilikila no kubhusha alabha Simoni unu abhilikiywe Petro labha aliga ekae alia.
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.
Mu mwanya ogwo Petro anu aliga neganilisha ingulu ye bhilolo, Mwoyo naika nage,”Lola abhanu bhasatu abhakuyenja.
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]!”
Imuka wike emwalo na ugende nabho. Wasiga kubaya ugende nabho, kulwo kubha nibhatumile.”
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?”
Petro neka emwalo ku bhene no kwaika “Anye nanye uliya unu omuyenja. Kubhaki mwaja?”
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.’”
Nibhaika, “mukulu umwi wa bhasilikale lisina lyae Kornelio, ni munu we chimali na endele muno okumulamya Nyamuanga, na abhanu abhamwaika kisi mwiyanga lyona elya bhayaudi, nabhwilwa na malaika wa Nyamuanga okukutuma koleleki ugende ku nyumba yae, koleleki ugwe emisango okusoka kwawe”.
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.
Petro nabhafogesha okwingila munju no kwinyanja amwi nage. Katondo inu yalubhiye nemuka nagenda amwi nage, na bhaili batoto kusoka Yafa nibhabha amwi nage.
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].
olunaku lunu lwalubhie bhejile Kaisaria. Mbe Kornelio aliga abhategelee; na aliga abhabhilikie amwi na bhaili bhae na bhasani bhae abhayei.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
mu mwanya ogwo Petro engie munda, Kornelio namulamila no kumfukamila kukinga ansi ku magulu gae kwe chibhalo.
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]!”
. Mbe nawe Petro namwinamusha no kwaika “imelegulu; anye omwene nili mwana munu.”
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].
Mu mwanya ogwo Petro naika nage, engie munda nasanga abhanu bhekofyanyishe amwi.
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.
Nabhabhwila, “emwe abhene mu menyele ati chitali chilagilo cha bhayaudi ati bhabhe bhumwi no kulibhatilwa no munu unu atali we Yanga linu. Nawe Nyamuanga amalile okunyelesha anye ati kutanyi ile okumubhilikila omunu wona wona ati ni mubhibhi amwi mujabi.
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]?”
Niyo insonga nijile kubhambala uli, natumilwe kulwa injuno eyo. kulwejo nibhabhushe kulwaki mwatumilwe kulwa injuno yani.”
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,
Kornelio naika,”naku enna jinu jatulileo, mu mwanya kuti gunu naliga ninsabhwa mu mwanya gwa saa mwenda mu mwisi nili mu nyumba yani; nindola imbele yani omunu emeleguyu ali nebhifwalo bhyelu,
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].
Nambhwila, Kornelio lisabhwa lyao lyonguywe na Nyamuanga, ne migemu jao ku bhataka one bhwabhee bhwichukisho imbhele ya Nyamuanga.
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].’
Kulwejo nutume omunu aje Yafa ajo omubhilikila munu umwi unu kabhilikilwa Simoni aje kwawe, ne lindi katogwa Petro. Unu ekae ku munu unu kayasha Jinjai unu katogwa Simoni unu inyumba yae ili kumbali ya Inyanja.
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].”
komelesha: olugobho lunu,”mwenene akaja kaika nemwe”, lutalimo mu maandiko ga kala.
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].
Mbe Petro natanya omunwa gwae no kwaika,” Nchimali nekilisha ati Nyamuanga atakutula kubha na solole.
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
Kwibhyo ejibhonekana ati, bhuli Eyanga munu wona wona unu kamulamya no kukola ebhikolwa bhye kisi kekilisibhwa kumwene.
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].
Umenyele emisango jinu asosishe ku bhanu bha Israel, aliga nalasha emisango jo bhwana ejo mulembe gunu ogulabha ku Yesu Masiya unu ali Latabugenyi wa bona.
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.
Emwe abhene-la mumenyele, linu lyabhonekene mu Yudea yona na lyambhie Galilaya, bhejile bhamala obhubhatijo bhunu Yohana alasishe.
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.”
okulubhana ne misango ja Masiya Yesu lwa kutyo Nyamuanga amuteleyeko mafuta ga Mwoyo Mwelu kwa managa. Agendele nakola ebhye kisi no kwiulisha bhona bhanu bhaga nibhanyasibwa na shetani, kulwo kubha Nyamuanga aliga ali amwi nage.
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.
Eswe chili bhabhambhasi bha ganu gone ago akolele mu muchalo cha bhuyaudi na mu Yerusalemu - ati unu niwe Yesu unu bhetile no kumusunga kwiti.
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].
Omunu unu Nyamuanga amusuluye ku lusiku lwa kasatu no kumuyana okumenyekana,
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).
Atali ku bhanu bhona, nawe ni kubhabhambhasi bhanu bhasolelwe ku bhwambhilo na Nyamuanga - Eswe bhona, bhanu chalie nage no kunywa nage anu aliga achali kusuka okusoka mu bhafuye.
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].
Achilagilie okusimulila abhanu no kubhabhambalila ati unu niwe unu Nyamuanga amusolele kubha mulamusi wa bhaanga na bhafue.
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.”
mu mwene abhalagi bhona bhamubhambhalie, ati koleleki buli unu kekilisha mu mwene kabhona okwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi kwo kulabha mwisina lyae.”
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.
Mu mwanya ogwo Petro nagendelela okwaika ganu, Mwoyo Mwelu nabhejusha bhona bhanu bhaliga nibhategelesha emisango jae.
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.
Okulubhana no bhwafu bhwa bhanu bhalya abhekilisha bhanu bhasalilwe- bhona bhanu bhejile na Petro -nibhatang'anga'la kulwa insonga ye chiyanwa cha Mwoyo mwelu chinu chetiliywe ku bhanu bha Maanga.
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.
Kwo kubha bhonguywe abha Maanga nibhaika mu ndimi jindi no kumulamya Nyamuanga. Petro nasubhya,
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]”
“Alio omunu wona wona unu katula okuganya amanji koleleki abhanu bhasige kubhatibhwa, abhanu bhanu bhamulamiye Mwoyo Mwelu lweswe?”
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].
Mbe niwo nabhalagilila bhabhatijibhwe Mwisina lya Yesu masiya. Okumala nibhamusabhwa enyanje nabho nsiku nyafuo.
