Acts 10
1 Now a Captain of the Italian Regiment, named Cornelius, was quartered at Caesarea.
Pamuji wa Kaisalia kwavili na mundu mmonga liina laki Kolineli, mwene avi mkulu wa manjolinjoli va chikundi chechikemelewa “Msambi wa Italia.”
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.
Mwene avi mundu mbwina, mwene pamonga na lukolo lwaki voha vamuyupayi Chapanga. Ahengayi mambu gamahele ga kuvatangatila vangangu va Vayawudi na kumuyupa Chapanga magono goha.
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!"
Ligono limonga lukumbi lwa saa tisa ya muhi awene maono hotohoto, Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akumbwelela na kumjovela, “Kolineli!”
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.
Kolineli akamlolokesa takataka cha wogohi Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga yula, ndi akamkota “Chivii kyani Bambu?” Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akamyangula, “Chapanga ayuwini kumuyupa kwaku na aganisiwi na kuvatangatila kwaku vangangu ndi akukumbwiki.
5 And now send to Jaffa and fetch Simon, surnamed Peter.
Hinu, uvatumayi vandu ku Yopa vakamtola mundu mmonga liina laki Simoni. Ndi mewa ikemelewa Petili.
6 He is staying as a guest with Simon, a tanner, who has a house close to the sea."
Mwene ndi myehe munyumba ya Simoni, mundu mweitendelekela vindu vya chikumba. Nyumba yaki yivii pamuhana ya nyanja.”
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,
Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga yula peawukili, Kolineli akavakemela vatumisi vavili va nyumba na mmonga wa manjolinjoli vaki mweakumyidakila Chapanga.
8 and, after telling them everything, he sent them to Jaffa.
Peavadandaulili mambu goha gegahumalili, akavatuma ku Yopa.
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.
Chilau yaki, lukumbi lwa saa sita ya muhi, vandu avo vadatu mulugendu lwavi, papipi kuhika ku Yopa, Petili akakwela kunani ya nyumba kumuyupa Chapanga.
10 He had become unusually hungry and wished for food; but, while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance.
Njala yamvinili, akanogela kulya. Nambu chakulya pachatendelekewayi mwene akalola maono.
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.
Awene kunani kwa Chapanga kudinduliwi na chindu ngati shuka yivaha yihuluswa pahi, kuni yikamuliwi pandi zoha mcheche za mulima.
12 In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles and birds,
Na mugati ya shuka yila mwavi hinyama ndalindali, hinyama ya magendelu mcheche na hinyama yeyilandala pamulima na videge vyevimbululuka.
13 and a voice came to him which said, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
Akayuwana lwami lukumjovela, “Petili, yimuka hinja na ulyayi.”
14 "On no account, Lord," he replied; "for I have never yet eaten anything unholy and impure."
Nambu Petili akamyangula, “Lepi Bambu! Nene katu niwonjili lepi chindu chochoha changayidakiliwa kulya.”
15 Again a second time a voice was heard which said, "What God has purified, you must not regard as unholy."
Nambu lwami lula lukamuyila kavili, “Lukamjovela vindu vyeaviyidakiliwi na Chapanga kulya, kotoka kuvikelamela vihakau.”
16 This was said three times, and immediately the sail was drawn up out of sight.
Lijambu lila lahengiki mala zidatu, kangi shuka yivaha yila yikawuyiswa kanyata kunani kwa Chapanga.
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,
Petili peavi akona ikangasa maono gala mana yaki kyani, hinu vandu vala vevatumwili na Kolineli pevamanyiswi nyumba ya Simoni, vakahika pamlyangu.
18 had come to the door and had called the servant, and were asking, "Is Simon, surnamed Peter, staying here?"
Vakahodisa kwa lwami, “Vakakota kuvya kuna myehe mweitama apa ikemiwa Simoni Petili?”
19 And Peter was still earnestly thinking over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, "Three men are now inquiring for you.
Petili pealinga kuhololela mana ya maono gala, Mpungu Msopi akamjovela, “Yuwanila! Vavi vandu vadatu vakukulonda.
20 Rise, go down, and go with them without any misgivings; for it is I who have sent them to you."
Huluka kanyata na ulongosana nawu kuhamba changali mtahu, muni nene ndi mwenivatumili.”
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?"
Hinu, Petili akahuluka pahi, akavajovela vandu vala, “Mwemukunilonda ndi nene. Ndava kyani munibwelili?”
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."
Vene vakamyangula, atitumili “Kolineli mkulu wa manjolinjoli, mundu mbwina, mweakumuyupa Chapanga, itopeswa na Vayawudi. Ajoviwi na mtumu wa Kunani kwa Chapanga akumgongolela kunyumba yaki, muni ayuwana chochoha chila cheukumjovela.”
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,
Petili akavakemela mugati mula, akavapela pandu pa kugona kilu yila. Chilau yaki, Petili akatumbula lugendu pamonga nawu. Vamsadika vangi vevatamayi ku Yopa vakalongosana.
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.
Ndi pamalau yaki vakahika pamuji wa Kaisalia. Kolineli avi mukuvalindila mwene na vanalukolo lwaki pamonga na vankozi veavagongolili.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him, and threw himself at his feet to do him homage.
Petili peavi mukuyingila Kolineli akahamba kumkumbatila cha uganu, akamfugamila mumagendelu gaki akamgundamila.
26 But Peter lifted him up. "Stand up," he said; "I myself also am but a man."
Nambu Petili akamuyinula, akamjovela, “Yima, muni nene namundu ngati veve.”
27 So Peter went in and conversed with him, and found a large company assembled.
Petili na Kolineli viyingila mugati, kuni vilongela ndi vavakolili vandu vamahele vakonganiki.
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.
Petili akavajovela, “Mwavene mmanyi hotohoto, kuvya Myawudi abesiwi na malagizu kwa njila ya kumuyupa Chapanga yaki kutangatilana na mundu angali kuvya Myawudi, amala kumgendela nambu Chapanga anilangisi nene kuvya nakuyidakiliwa kumkemela mundu yoyoha iganikiwa lepi amala mhakau.
29 So for this reason, when sent for, I came without raising any objection. I therefore ask why you sent for me."
Ndava ya yeniyo, pamwakanikemili nibweli changali mtahu. Hinu munijovela munikemelili kyani?”
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,
Kolineli akayangula, “Magono gadatu gamumbele, lukumbi lwa saa tisa ya muhi, nene navi muchumba changu kumuyupa Chapanga. Chigafula namuwene mundu mweawalili nyula zezing'asima neju, ayimili palongolo yangu,
31 who said, "'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been put on record before God.
anijovili, Kolineli! Chapanga ayuwini chewiyupa pamonga na teta zaku kwa vangangu.
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.'
Hinu uvatuma vandu vahamba ku Yopa, vakamkemela mundu mmonga liina laki Simoni mweikemelewa mewa Petili. Mwenuyo avili kunyumba ya Simoni, mundu mweitendelekela vindu vya chikumba, nyumba yaki yivii pamumhana ya nyanja.
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."
Ndi kanyata navatumili vajumbi kwaku, wamwene ukitili chabwina kubwela. Tavoha apa tivii palongolo ya Chapanga, ndava ya kukuyuwanila chindu chochoha cheakulagizi Bambu utijovela.”
34 Then Peter began to speak. "I clearly see," he said, "that God makes no distinctions between one man and another;
Kangi Petili akatumbula kujova, “Hinu nimanyili kuvya Chapanga ibagula lepi.
35 but that in every nation those who fear Him and live good lives are acceptable to Him.
Nambu mundu yeyoha mumulima mweiyupa na kuhenga gakumganisa Chapanga yati iyidakiliwa namwene.
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;
Umanyili ujumbi wula Chapanga weavapelekili vandu va ku Isilaeli, ikokosa Lilovi la Bwina lelileta uteke kwa njila ya Yesu Kilisitu mwene ndi Bambu wa voha.
37 the story, I mean, which has spread through the length and breadth of Judaea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed.
Mwavene mumanyili lijambu lelahumalili pamulima woha wa Vayawudi kutumbula ku Galilaya Yohani peamali kukokosa ndava ya ubatizu.
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.
Mwimanya kuvya Chapanga cheamhagwili Yesu wa ku Nazaleti, ndi akammemesa Mpungu Msopi na kumpela makakala. Chapanga avi pamonga nayu, mwene ahambili kila pandu kuhenga gabwina na kuvalamisa vandu voha vevang'aiswi na Setani.
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.
Tavete tagawene mambu goha geagahengili pamulima wa Vayawudi na muji wa ku Yelusalemu. Vamkomili na kumvamba munjila ya msalaba.
40 That same Jesus God raised to life on the third day, and permitted Him to appear unmistakably,
Nambu Chapanga amyukisi pagamaliki magono gadatu kuhuma kwa vevafwili. Akaloleka hotohoto,
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.
awonikini lepi kwa vandu voha, nambu kwa tete ndu tetamali kuhaguliwi na Chapanga kuvya vetagawene. Ndi tete vetalili na kunywelela pamonga nayu peamali kuyuka kwaki.
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.
Atilagazili kuvakokosela vandu voha Lilovi la Bwina na kuvajovela kuvya mwene ndi mweahaguliwi na Chapanga, kuvya mhamula wa vandu vevavili mumi na vandu vevafwili.
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."
Vamlota voha va Chapanga vijova ndava yaki kuvya mundu yoyoha mweakumsadika Yesu, yati ilekekeswa kumbudila Chapanga, paliina laki.”
44 While Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the Message.
Petili pavi akona ilongela malovi ago, Mpungu Msopi akavahelelela vandu voha vevayuwanila ujumbi wula.
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.
Vayawudi vamsadika vevabweli pamonga na Petili kuhuma ku Yopa, vakangisi kulola Chapanga avamemisi njombi ya Mpungu Msopi vandu vangali Vayawudi.
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling the majesty of God. Then Peter said,
Muni vavayuwini vilongela kwa muluga za chiyehe kuni vakumulumbalila Chapanga. Kangi Petili akajova,
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?"
“Vandu ava vampokili Mpungu Msopi ngati tete. Wu, avi mundu yoyoha, mweakuvabesa vakotoka kubatiziwa na manji?”
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.
Ndi akalagiza vabatiziwa kwa uhotola wa Yesu Kilisitu, kangi vakamuyupa Petili atama nawu magono nunuyu.
