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.
Ahali umuntu umo hunsi ya hu Kaisaria, itawa ali yu Kornelio, ali gosi weshipuga eshe Kiitalia.
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.
Ali muntu wa Ngulubhi na afumiaga esadaka zinyinji abhapelaga abhantu, aputaga hwa Ngulubhi ensiku zyonti.
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!”
Yahali saa tisa ezya pasanya ahalola embonesyo ahalola umalaika ahwenza hwa mwene ula umalaika wabhuula u “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].
U Kornelio wamwenya tee ula umalaika, wayeta tee waga huliyenu gosi? Umalaika waga esadaka zyaho ne mpuuto zyaho zifishile hwa Ngulubhi na zilizyahwizushe.”
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.
Bhatume abhantu hu Yafa bhakwizye uPetro.
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
Akhala hwa Simoni yalinganya ensunga enyumba yakwe eli munsenje ye bahari.”
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.
Ula umalaika nawasogola, u Kornelio wabhakwizya aboyi bhakwe bhabhili nu sikari umo yaputaga nawo nahubhombele embombo.
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].
U Kornelio wabhabhuula zyonti zyazilolile wabhatuma hu 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.
Nabhaapulamila afishe hujini, u Petro wazubha hwigulu apuute.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
Nantele enzala yalumile tee nabhali ateleshe walola embonesyo,
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].
walola emwanya eyigushe walola ahantu hali neshumwenda hahwiha pansi ne nshenje zine.
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.
Muhati yakwe vyahali evintu vyonti evyomi vyaviliwa manama gane, ne vyavihwavula nevyaviluha humwanya.
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
Wumnvwa izu liyanga lyaga Petro sinza 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!”
U Petro waga sigaembwahile alya evintu evichafu.
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]!”
U Petro wumvwa nantele ulwabhili izu liyiga vyazijozizye Ungulubhi uganje ayanje huje vibhibhi.
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).
Eli lyabhombisha hatatu hala ahombo hazubha humwanya nantele.
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.
U Petro nasibha embonesyo izyo, abhantu bhabhatumwilwe nu Kornelio bhabhabhafishile bhemeleye mundyango bhabhuzilizya enyumba yali uPetro.
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
Bhabhuuzilizya aje uSimoni yahwetwa Petro nkakhala omu.
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.
U Petro pali seebhe embonesyo zila Umpepo Ufinjile wabhuula huja abhantu bhatatu bhahuhwanza hwonze.
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]!”
Bhuha iha panji ulongozanye nabho embatumile weene leha ahwogope.”
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?”
U Petro wabhaga bhimiliye wabhabhuzya mwenzeye yeenu? Nene nemunanza?”
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.’”
Atitumile umuntu umo gosi weshipuga muntu puuti, abhuulelwe nu malaika aje ubhale akhaya yakwe ayumvwe zyuli nazyo.”
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.
U Petro wabhakaribisya munyumba, shampwiti yakwe bhasogola bhonti, u Petro wabega abhantu abhahu Yafa bhashe bhalongozanya nawo.
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].
Shandabho yakwe bhafiha hu Kaisaria. Bhamwaga uKornelio abhaguulila abhunginye ajirani bhakwe na bhaala bhonti bha munyumba yakwe.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
U Petro nawafiha u Kornelio wabhala huposhe waundamila mmanama gakwe abhonesye huje atinishe.
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]!”
U Petro wabhusya waga ane nanee endi muntu neshiawe.”
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].
U Petro naliyanje nawe ayinjila anyumba wega abhantu bhabhungine bhabhinji.
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.
Wabhabhuula huje amwe mwemwe mulolile huje ate namwe setisangana. Lelo Ungulubhi andamiye aje usahabhakwizye abhantu bhembozizye ane aje bhachafu.
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]?”
Ndiyo maana ewenzele eshi muyanje zyamunkwizizizye.”
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,
U Kornelio wagamula waga ensiku zine zyashilile esala neshi ezi nalipuute munyumba yane, umuntu winza akwite amenda amazelu,
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].
Wambula waga “Kornelio empuuto zyaho ne sadaka zyaho zifishile humwanya hwa Ngulubhi nazili zyahwizushe hwa mwene.
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].’
Eshi tuma umuntu hu Yafa ukwizya uSimoni yahwitwa Petro akhala hwa muntu yahwitwa Simoni yalinganya ensunga enyumba yakwe eli munshenje ye bahari.
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].”
Nabhahwinze umwene abhayanje namwe.
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].
U Petro wayanga waga lyoli neteha huje Ungulubhi siga ali no upendeleo.
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
Umuntu yayonto yahumwitiha umwene wope Ungulubhi ahumweteha umuntu uyo.
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].
Enongwa zyayangaga na bha Israeli zyali zya bhantu abhe mataifa gonti ashilile hwa Yesu Kilisti-
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.
namwe bhayo mumenye lyalya fumiye hu Yudea hwonti na lyahandiye hu Galilaya u Yohana nawatangazya ahwoziwe.
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.”
Lila lyalyabhombehaga nu Yesu Ungulubhi apishe amafuta aga Umpepo Ufinjile ni khone abhalaga aponile abhantu bhabhayembaga nu shetani Ungulubhi ali pandwemo nawo.
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.
Ate tilibhaketi bha mambo gonti gagabhombishe hunsi zya Uyahudi na hu Yerusalemu-unu uYesu yabhabudile na hulembezye mwikwi.
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 umuntu Ungulubhi azyusizye isiku elyatatu na manyihane,
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).
siga hwa bhantu bhonti umwene abhonishe hwa abhantu bhakwe bhabhasaluye, ate tetalyanga nawo na mwele nawo nawazyuha afume hwa bhafwe.
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].
Atilajizizye alumbilile hwa bhantu bhonti aje unu yabhehwelwe nu Ngulubhi aja abhe gamulanyi wa bhafwe na bhomi.
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.”
Na akuwe bhakuwilwe, huje shila muntu yaihumwitiha aisajilwa embibhi zyakwe ashilile hwitawa lyakwe.”
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.
U Petro nahendelelaga ayanje Umpepo Ufinjile wabhinjila abhonti bhabhali munyumba mula bhabhatejelezyaga.
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.
Bhaala bhahenzele nu Petro bhabhatahiriwe- bhaswijile tee huje bhope amataifa(apagani) Ungulubhi abhapeela Umpepo Ufinjile.
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.
Bhabhahumvwizye bhayanga injango ezyenje na hulumbilile Ungulubhi. U Petro waga,
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]”
“Ahweli umuntu yayonti yabhajiye akhane aje abhantu bhasahoziwe bhabhaposhiye Umpepo Ufinjile neshi ate?”
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].
U Petro wabhabhuula huje bhoziwe hwitawa lya Yesu Kilisti. Pamande bhalaabha uPetro huje akhale na bhene hunsiku kazaa.
