Acts 10
1 Now a Captain of the Italian Regiment, named Cornelius, was quartered at Caesarea.
Lino kwakali umwi mwalumi wamuchisi chaku Sizaliya, wakali kutegwa Kkoneliyasi, mwendelezi wabasilumamba balimwaanda baku Itali.
2 He was religious and God-fearing--and so was every member of his household. He was also liberal in his charities to the people, and continually offered prayer to God.
Wakali mwalumi ulipede, akuyoowa Leza antomwe abang'anda yakwe, wakali kupa mali kulibabo bakali kubula, alimwi wakali kukomba God lyoonse.
3 About three o'clock one afternoon he had a vision, and distinctly saw an angel of God enter his house, who called him by name, saying, "Cornelius!"
Achindi chamahola ali musanu aane kuseni, wakabona chilengano chamungelo wa Leza kaza kulinguwe. Mungelo wakati, “Kkoneliyasi!”
4 Looking steadily at him, and being much alarmed, he said, "What do you want, Sir?" "Your prayers and charities," he replied, "have gone up and have been recorded before God.
Kkoneliyasi wakalangisisya mungelo alimwi chakuyowa kapati wasikuti, “Uwambanzi, yomwalumi?” Mungelo wakati kulinguwe, “Inkombyo abwabi bwako kubafwaba zyasika kujulu mbuli chipo chaku yeeyegwa mubuliwo bwa Leza.
5 And now send to Jaffa and fetch Simon, surnamed Peter.
Lino tuma balumi kuchisi chaku Jopa bakandetele mwalumi utegwa Sayimoni utegwa Pita.
6 He is staying as a guest with Simon, a tanner, who has a house close to the sea."
Ukkala amusuki uwuzikidwe kuti Sayimoni, ulaang'anda ili afwifwi ankomwe yalwizi.”
7 So when the angel who had been speaking to him was gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a God-fearing soldier who was in constant attendance on him,
Eelyo mungelo wakaambula kulinguwe nakeenda, Kkoneliyasi wakayita babeleki bakwe bobile bamuunzi, alimwi asilumamba umwi wakali pedelede akati kabonse bakali kumubelekela.
8 and, after telling them everything, he sent them to Jaffa.
Kkoneliyasi waka baambila zyoonse zyakachitika mpawo wabatuma kuti bayinke ku Jopa.
9 The next day, while they were still on their journey and were getting near the town, about noon Peter went up on the house-top to pray.
Lino mubuzuba bwakatobela achiindi chamahoola alimusanu alimwi, kabachili mulwendo lwabo alimwi kabali babafwifwi achisi, Pita wakatanta mung'anda yamujulu kuyokomba.
10 He had become unusually hungry and wished for food; but, while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance.
Mpawo wakaba enzala kayanda kulya chimwi nchanga ulalya, pesi bantu bakachili kujika chakulya, wakapegwa chilengano,
11 The sky had opened to his view, and what seemed to be an enormous sail was descending, being let down to the earth by ropes at the four corners.
alimwi wakabona julu lijulikide mpawo achibikilo chakalibonia, chakali mbuli mucheka mupati kuyobuseluka kuuza enyika kuujisi mabazu awo aane.
12 In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles and birds,
Mulinguwo kwakali banyama bamisyobo yoonse bakali amawulu aane azinyama ziyavula anyika, alimwi abayuni bawuluka mujulu.
13 and a voice came to him which said, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
Eelyo kwakasika ijwi kuli Pita lyasikuti, “Buka, ujaye alimwi
14 "On no account, Lord," he replied; "for I have never yet eaten anything unholy and impure."
uulye.” Pesi Pita wakati, “Peepe, Mwami; nkambo takwe nindakalyide chintu chisofwede pe alimwi chitasalali.”
15 Again a second time a voice was heard which said, "What God has purified, you must not regard as unholy."
Pesi ijwi lyakamusikila lubo kachibili lyasikuti: “Echo Mwami Leza nchakasalazya, toyelede pe kuchaamba kuti chilisofwede.”
16 This was said three times, and immediately the sail was drawn up out of sight.
Eezi zyakachitika tutatu; eelyo chibikilo chakabwedezegwa lubo kujulu.
17 While Peter was greatly perplexed as to the meaning of the vision which he had seen, just then the men sent by Cornelius, having by inquiry found out Simon's house,
Eelyo Pita naka chili kuzilikila chilengano nchakabona kuti chakali kwambanzi, amubone, balumi aabo bakatumidwe a Kkoneliyasi bakalimvwi amulyango, kabali kubuzya inzila iya kung'anda.
18 had come to the door and had called the servant, and were asking, "Is Simon, surnamed Peter, staying here?"
Bakasompezya mpawo babuzya naa Sayimoni uutegwa Pita, wakali kukkala mpawo na.
19 And Peter was still earnestly thinking over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, "Three men are now inquiring for you.
Awo Pita nakachili kuyeeya azyechilengano, Muuya wakamba kuti kulinguwe, “Langa, balumi batatu balikuyandula nduwe.
20 Rise, go down, and go with them without any misgivings; for it is I who have sent them to you."
Buka useluke uyende aabo. Uta doneki pe kweenda abo, nkambo ndili batumide.”
21 So Peter went down and said to the men, "I am the Simon you are inquiring for. What is the reason of your coming?"
Elyo Pita wakaseluka wayinka kubalumi wakubaambila kuti, “Ndendime oyo ngumulokuyandula. Mwazidaanzi?”
22 Their reply was, "Cornelius, a Captain, an upright and God-fearing man, of whom the whole Jewish nation speaks well, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and listen to what you have to say."
Bakati, “Mwendelezi wabasilumamba balimwaanda, utegwa Kkoneliyasi, mwalumi musalali oyo uyowa Leza, alimwi oyo wamba abubotu kunyika yoonse yama Juda, wakapegwa mulumbe kuzwa kuli Leza mukwinda mumungelo usalala oyo wakapa kuti tutumwe kuti webo ubole kung'anda yakwe, kuti akaswilile mulumbe kuzwa kulinduwe.”
23 Upon hearing this, Peter invited them in, and gave them a lodging. The next day he set out with them, some of the brethren from Jaffa going with him,
Lino Pita wakabayita kuti baze bazokkale amwi. Mubuzuba bwakatobela, wakabuka mpawo winka ambabo, alimwi bamwi babunyina bazwa ku Jopa bakamusindikila.
24 and the day after that they reached Caesarea. There Cornelius was awaiting their arrival, and had invited all his relatives and intimate friends to be present.
Mubuzuba butobela bakasika ku Sizaliya. Kkoneliyasi wakali balindide; wakali watamba baluzubo lwakwe antoomwe abenzinyina baafwifwi.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him, and threw himself at his feet to do him homage.
Awo Pita wakanjila, Kkoneliyasi wakamutambula mpawo wawida aansi amawulu akwe, wakomba.
26 But Peter lifted him up. "Stand up," he said; "I myself also am but a man."
Pesi Pita wakamubusya wamba kuti, “Buka! Ambebo ndili muntu biyo.”
27 So Peter went in and conversed with him, and found a large company assembled.
Eelyo Pita naakachili kwambula anguwe, wakanjila mpawo wajana bantu bakali bungene aamwi.
28 He said to them, "You know better than most that a Jew is strictly forbidden to associate with a Gentile or visit him; but God has taught me to call no one unholy or unclean.
Wakabambila kuti, “Inywe lwanu mulizizi kuti takuzumininwi pe kuti mwalumi mu Juda ayenzyanie amwenzu nikuba kumuswaya. Pesi Mwami Leza wakanditondezya kuti nsyelede pe kwamba muntu naba umwi kuti uli sofweede nikuba kumwamba kuti ngu simatombe.
29 So for this reason, when sent for, I came without raising any objection. I therefore ask why you sent for me."
Nchenchicho nchindakaza kanditakazyi pe, nimwakandiita. Pesi ndibuzya nchimwakandiitila.”
30 "Just at this hour, three days ago," replied Cornelius, "I was offering afternoon prayer in my house, when suddenly a man in shining raiment stood in front of me,
Kkoneliyasi wakamba kuti, “Musule amazuba aane muhola ndilyo eli, ndakali kukomba muhola lyamusanu aane mung'anda yangu; Amubone, mwalumi wakayima kunembo lyangu kasamide chibaki chabayima.
31 who said, "'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been put on record before God.
Wakaamba kuti, “Kkoneliyasi, nkombyo yako yamvwigwa a Leza, abululami bwako bwayeeyezya Mwami Leza atala anduwe.
32 Send therefore to Jaffa, and invite Simon, surnamed Peter, to come here. He is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, close to the sea.'
Lino tuma umwi ayinke ku Jopa, akakwitile mwali utegwa Sayimoni ulezina litegwa Pita. Ukkala mung'anda yamusuki wazikwiiye wiitwa kuti Sayimoni, kumbali lyankomwe yalwizi.' mpawo mpawawo ndakakutumina bantu. Kulangunukide kuti uze.
33 "Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and I thank you heartily for having come. That is why all of us are now assembled here in God's presence, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to say."
Lino obuno, toonse mpotuli ano kunembo lya Leza kuti tumvwe zyonse nzimwaka layililwa kuzwa ku Mwami.”
34 Then Peter began to speak. "I clearly see," he said, "that God makes no distinctions between one man and another;
Mpawo Pita wakamba kuti, “Chakasimpe, Ndakabona kuti Leza talangi chiimo.
35 but that in every nation those who fear Him and live good lives are acceptable to Him.
Anukuti, Munyika imwi ayimwi kufumbwa umuyoowa akuchita bululami ulatambulika kuli nguwe.
36 The Message which He sent to the descendants of Israel, when He announced the Good News of peace through Jesus Christ--He is Lord of all--that Message you cannot but know;
Mulilizi ijwi ndyakatumizya kubantu baku Izilayeli, awo nakali kwambuula makani mabotu alumuuno mukwinda muli Jesu Kkilisito, Mwami wazyonse -
37 the story, I mean, which has spread through the length and breadth of Judaea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed.
inywe ilwanu mulizizi zyakachitika, zyakaba munyika yoonse yamu Judiya, kazitangunina mu Galili, Joni nakazwa kwambula azyalubbizyo;
38 It tells how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, so that He went about everywhere doing acts of kindness, and curing all who were being continually oppressed by the Devil--for God was with Jesus.
ezyo zyakali atala a Jesu waku Nazaleta, kuti mbobuli Leza mbwakamunanika a Muuya Uusalala antomwe anguzu. Wakayita zintu zibotu akuponesya abo boonse bakali kutamizigwa aba siluuni a satani, nkambo Leza wakali anguwe.
39 "And we are witnesses as to all that He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. But they even put Him to death, by crucifixion.
Tuli bakamboni bazintu zyonse eezyo zyakachitwa a Jesu, munyika yama Juda alimwi amu Jelusalema. Bakamujaya mpawo bamulengelezya amusamu,
40 That same Jesus God raised to life on the third day, and permitted Him to appear unmistakably,
pesi Mwami Leza wakamubusya mubuzuba bwatatu akumuchita kuti abonwe,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses--men previously chosen by God--namely, to us, who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
pepe kubantu boonse, pesi kuti kubakamboni abo bakasalidwe kale a Mwami Leza - andiswe andiswe nitwakalya anguwe kali wabuka kuzwa kubafu
42 And He has commanded us to preach to the people and solemnly declare that this is He who has been appointed by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.
Wakatwambila kuti tukabambile bantu alimwi akwambisya kuti oyu ngonguwe wakasalidwe a Mwami Leza kuti abe mubetesi wabachipona abakafwa.
43 To Him all the Prophets bear witness, and testify that through His name all who believe in Him receive the forgiveness of their sins."
Nkulinguwe nkukwakaba kuti basinsimi bonse bambule majwi mayingi azyakwe, kuchitila kuti boonse bamusyobo ma bakatambule lulekelelo lwazibi zyabo mukwinda muzina lyakwe.”
44 While Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the Message.
Eelyo Pita nakachili kwambuula zintu ezi zyonse, Muuya Uusalala wakaba selukila abo boonse bakali kuswilizya nzyakali kwambula.
45 And all the Jewish believers who had come with Peter were astonished that on the Gentiles also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out.
Abo bantu boonse bakali munkamu yabakali palwidwe abakali basyomi - boonse bakazide a Pita - bakagamba, nkambo Muuya Uusalala wakabasikila abalabo bamaasi mpawonya awo.
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling the majesty of God. Then Peter said,
Nkambo bakamvwa bamaasi abalabo kabaambula mumilaka imbi kabalumbayizya Mwami Leza. Mpawo Pita wakasandula wasikuti,
47 "Can any one forbid the use of water, and object to these persons being baptized--men who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?"
“Mpalina muntu uunga ulakasya meenda kuti bantu batabbizigwi pe, aaba bantu batambula Muuya Uusalala antomwe andiswe?”
48 And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for a time.
Lino wakalayilila kuti babbizigwe muzina lya Jesu Kkilisito. Eelyo bakamukumbila kuti bakkale amwi kwamazuba mingi.
