< 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.
Kwalyale umunhu jumonga muliaja ilya kaisaria, ilitavua lya mwene atambuluughwa Kornelio, alyale mbaha ghwa ipugha ikya va 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.
Alyale ikufunya kange alyale ikunsuma uNguluve mu nyumba ja mwene joni, alyahumisie indalama nyinga kuva Yahudi pe akale ikufunya kwa Nguluve ifighono fioni.
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!”
Unsiki ghwa lisala lya gubia lubale pamwisi, akasaghile inyisaghilo isa vanyamola va Nguluve vikwisa kwa mwene unya mola akambula 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 akamulola unyamola kange alyale nu ludwesi uluvaha kyongo akati “Ulu lwa Luke mbaha?” unyamola aka m'bula “Inyifunyo sako nu luvonolo lwako kuva kotofu sitoghile kukyanya ndavule ing'humbukilo.
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.
Lino vomole avanhu valute mulikaja ilya Yafakuuntwala umunhu jumo juno itambulua Simon juno itambulua Petro.
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
Ikukala nujuno itenda inguvu juno itambulua Simoni juno inyumba jamwene jili palubade pa misumbi.”
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.
Ye akyale unyamola juno alyale ijova nu mwene kuvuka, u Kornelio akavakemela avavomba mbombo munyumba ja mwene vavili, nu ns'sikali juno alyale ikunsuma u Nguluve pakate pava sikalisi vano valyale vikum'bombela imbombo.
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 alyavavulile ghoni ghanoghalyahumile kange akavomola ku 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.
Ikighono kino kikafwatile unsiki ughwa lekela lubale valyale musila kange vakale pipi mu likaja, u Petro akatogha kukyanya ku dari na kukufunya.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
Pe akale ni njala neke alyale ilonda ikinu ikyakulia, Looli unsiki ghuno avanhu viteleka ikyakulia, akavonesevua inyisaghilo,
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].
akavuvwene uvulanga vudindwike ni kyombo kikwika ni kinu kinge ndavule amenda amakome ghikwika pasi palihanga mumbale isamwene soni iine.
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.
Munkate mwa mwene mulyale ni fikano fyoni ifinyamaghulu ghane nafino fikwafula palihanga, ni fijuni ifyavulanga.
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
Pe ilisio likati wa mwene “sisimuka, PetroPetro hinja kange ulie”. Loli upero akati “Na lulianala, MUtwa ulwakuva
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!”
nanighelile kulia ikinu kyekyoni I'll ikivivi. Loli ilisio likisa kwa kwamwene kange
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]!”
ulwavuvili “Kino avalisie u Nguluve nungakiemelaghe vulamafu kange kivivi”.
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).
Ulu lulyahumile katatu, ni kyombo kila ilyatolilue kuvulanga kange.
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.
Unsiki ghuno u Petro alyahasing'ine vwimila vwa mbonekelo isio sihufia kiki, lolagha, avanhu vano vakomolilwe nu Kornelio vakima pavulongolo palilyango, vakaposiagha isila ijakuluta kunyumba.
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
Pe vakakemela nauposia ndavule u Simoni juno kange atambulwagha Petro ndavule kale ikukala Pala.
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.
Unsiki ughuo ghuno u Petro alyale isagha munyisaghilo isio, uMhepo akajova nu mwene “Lolagha avanhu vatatu vikukulonda.
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]!”
Sisimuka kange ghukale pasi pe ulutaghe navene. Nungoghopaghe kuluta navene, ulwakuva nivomwile.”
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 Akiva pasi kuvanave nakujova “Une nenenejuno mukunilonda. Nakii mwisile?”
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.’”
Vakati, “Akida jumo ilitavua lya mwene Kornelio, umunhu ughwa vugholofu pe ilonda kukusuma u Nguluve, kange avanhu viujova vunofu mukisina kyoni iya kiyahudi, avulilue nava nyamola avaava Nguluve kukuvomola need valute kunyumba ja mwene, neke apulike imola inofu kuhuma kuvanave.”
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 akavambilila vingile nkate napiukala palikimo nu mwene. Ilwakilavo jino jilyavingilile akasimuka akaluta palikimo nu mwene, na vanyalukolo vadebe kuhuma ku Yafa vakavingisaniagha naghwope.
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].
Ikighono kino kikavingilile vakisile ku Kaisaria. Naju Kornelio alyale iuvaghulila; kange akavakemelile paliimo avanyalukolo vamwene nava manyani vamwene vano valipipi.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
Unsiki ghuno u Petro akingila munkate, u Kornelio akamwambilila akafughama paasi pamaghulu gha mwene akamfughamila.
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]!”
Loli u Petro akamwamula akati “Isagha; une najune nelimunhu.”
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].
Unsiki ghuno u Petro akajovagha naghuope, akalutagha n'kate akavagha avanhu vakong'anile palikimo.
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.
Akavavula, “jumue mwevano mukagwile kuti ulu nalulaghilo lwa Kiyahudi kuhasing'ana nambe kughendelanilakughendelanila nu munhu ugwa kipelela iiki. Loli u Nguluve ansonile uneasy ulwakuti naninoghile kukunemela umunhu ghweni vulamafu nambe vunyali.
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]?”
Fyenambe nisile isila kikanika, pano nikomolilue vwimila vwa uluo. Neke nivaposie nakiki mukomolivue vwimila unhealthy.”
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 akati, “Ifighono fine fino fikakilile, amasiki ndavule agha nilyale nikufunya unsii ghwa kivalilo kya budika lubale pamwisi munkate munyumba jango; Nikalola pavulongolo palyune umunhu imile alyale namenda amavalafu,
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].
Akambulile “Kornelio inyifunyo sako sipulikike Kwan Nguluve, ni mbonolo sako kuva n'kontofu silikikumbukilo pavulongolo pa Nguluve.
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].’
Pa uluo omola umunhu ku Yafa akankemele umunhu jumbo juno ikemelua Simon ise kulyuve, juno kange itambulivua Petro. Juno ikukala kwajuno inosia ingwembe jumojumo juno itambulivua Simoni juno inyumba jamwene jilimulubale munyanja.
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].”
Gadilila: Ikidebe iki, “Ghwope iliva ikwisa ilijova numue,” namwale muvulembe vwa pakale.
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].
Pe u Petro aadindula umulomo ghwa mwene nakujova; “kyang'ani, nitika kuti u Nguluve nalinalo ulwa kuvaghana vamo.
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
Pauluo kila kisina umunhu ghweni junoikufunya nakuvomba isavwakyang'ani ikwitisivua kwamwene.
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].
Ujimanyile imola jino akajihumisie ku vanhu va Israeli, pano akapulisiagha imola inofu ija lutengano kukilila u Yesu kilisite juno ghwe Mutwa ghwa vooni-
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.
jumue mwevano mukagwile kind kikahumila, lino likahumile ku Yudea joni likatengulile ku Galilaya, ye lukilile ulwofugho luno u Yohana alupulisiagha. Lino likahumile likan'donyile u Yesu kilisite ndavule uNguluve alyam'ponisie amafuta nuMhepo Mwimike na kungufu.
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.”
Alyaghendile nakuvomba inofuinofu nakuvuvusia voni vano vakapumusivue nu Stefano, ulyakuva uNguluve alyale paliimo nu mwene.
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.
Usue tulivolesi ghwa ghoni agha ghano akaghavombile mu iisi sasa vuYahudivuYahudi namu Yerusalemu- uju ghwe Yesu juno valyam'budile na kukum'paghika mumpiki.
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].
Umunhu ujuo u Nguluve aliyah nsyusisie ikighono ikya vutatu na kukum'pala kumanyikika,
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).
nakwekuti ku vanhu voni, looli kuvolesi uvano vasalulivue nu Nguluve. -usue jusue, twevano tukalile tumwene na kunyua naghwope pano ye asyukile kuhuma uvufue.
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].
Atulaghile kudalikila na kukwolelela kuuti uju ghwejuno u Nguluve alyansaluile kuva mulamuli ghwa vumi na vafue.
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.”
Mwamwene avavili voni volelaghe lulyale Kati ghweni juno ikumwitika kyang'ani ujuo ikwupilagha ulusaghilo ulwa vahosi kuhumila litavua lyamwene.”
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.
Unsiki ghuno u Petrol akaghendelelagha kujova isi, u Mhepo Mwimike akavamemia voni vino vakapulikisyagha imola ija mwene.
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.
Avanhu vala vano valyahusike ni kipugha ikya vitiki vino valyavalya dumulivue- vala voni vano valisile nu Petro vaadeghagha vwimila vwa Mhepo Mwimike juno alyakung'ilue kuoni kuva panji.
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.
Ulwakuva valyapulike avapanji ava vijova ninjovele isinge na pikufunya kwa Nguluve. U Petro akamula,
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]”
“Kwale umunhu juno anoghile kusigha amalenga ulwakuuti avanhu value kukwofughua, Avanhu ava vamwupile uMhepo Mwimike ndavule usue?”
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].
Pe akalamula vofughue mulitavua lya Yesu kilisite. Pambele vakansuma ikale naghuope mufighono ndii.
