Ntendo nia itumi 10
1 Ai ukoli nu muntu nua kitungaa mu kisali nika ku Kaisaria, lina nilakwe ai witangwaa Kornelio, ai mukulu wi idale nila Kiitalia.
NOW there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the cohort called the Italic,
2 Ai watulaa mukulya Itunda hangi ai umukuiye Itunda ni ito nilakwe lihi; ai upumilye mpia idu ku Ayahudi hangi ai ulompile kung'wa Itunda mahiku ihi.
a man of piety, and who feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
3 Matungo a saa kenda nia mung'wi, akihenga muloto Malaika nuang'wa Itunda upembilye kitalakwe. uMalaika akamutambuila, “Kornelio!
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 uKornelio akamugoza u malaika hangi ai ukete u woa ukulu nangaluu akaligitya “Iki ki ntuni mukulu?” uMalaika akamutambuila “Malompi ako ni masongelyo ako ku aula yanakilaa migulya anga ukimbukiilyi mu umoli nuang'wa Itunda.”
Then looking stedfastly on him, and being terrified, he said, What means this, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 Itungili lagiilya i antu alongole ikisali nika Yafa kumuleta muntu ung'wi nuitangwaa Simioni naiza witangwa ga ni Petro.
And now send men to Joppa, and inquire for Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 Wikiie hangi munonia ndili nuitangwaa Simioni naiza ito nilakwe likoli mpelo a luzi.”
he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is near the sea: this man will tell thee what thou must do.
7 Ze yakilaa uMalaika nai watula ukuligitya nu ng'wenso kuhega, uKornelio akaitanga i anyamulimo ni a mito nilakwe abiili, nu a asikali nai watulaa ukumukulya Itunda pa kati a asikali nai atulaa akumuaiilya.
But when the angel departed who spake to Cornelius, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, persons who constantly were in attendance upon him;
8 uKornelio ai uatambuie ihi nai apumie nu kualagiilya ku Yafa.
and relating all things to them, sent them to Joppa.
9 Luhiku nai lutyatile itungo nila saa mutandatu aze amoli mu nzila hangi ahumbeela mu kisali, uPetro akanankila migulya mu kitala kulompa.
Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth hour:
10 Ga ni hangi akatula ni nzala nu kusiga i kintu ka kulya, kuiti itungo i antu akuluga indya, akalagiilwa muloto,
and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him.
11 akihenga ilunde laluguka ni kiseme kikusima ni kintu kituunga anga ng'wenda mukulu ukusima pihi mu mahalu mu nkigo niakwe yihi inne.
And he saw heaven opened, and there descended to him a certain vessel, as a great sheet with chains at the four corners, and resting upon the earth:
12 Mukati akwe ai ikoli mpyani yihi nia ikali ni ikete migulu inne nizi ni yagulaa migulya a mahalu, ni nyunyi nia milunde.
in which were all the quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and birds of the air.
13 Hangi luli lukaligitya kitalakwe, “Uka, Petro sinza nu nkulya.”
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; slay and eat.
14 Kuiti uPetro akaligitya “Shanga iti, Mukulu ku nsoko nkili nkaye kulya kintu kihi ni kizumi hangi kishapu.
But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean.
15 Kuiti u luli lukapembya kitalakwe hangi ku nkua akabiili “Nukeilye Itunda leka kukitanga kizumi ang'wi ki shapu.”
And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean.
16 Iki ai kipumie nkua itaatu, ni kiseme iko kikatula kaholwaa hangi milunde.
This was thrice repeated: and the vessel was again taken up into heaven.
17 Ni matungo uPetro aze ukoli mu uhalinkanilwa migulya a muloto nuanso ndogoelyo akwe ntuni, Goza, antu nai atulaa alagiigwe nu Kornelio akimika ntongeela a mumpita, azekolya i nzila a kulongola mu ito.
But while Peter was perplexed in himself what was meant by the vision which he had seen, then, behold! the men which had been sent by Cornelius having inquired out the house of Simon, stood before the door,
18 Hangi akitanga nu ku kolya anga ize uSimioni nuitangwaa ga ni Petro anga ize ai watulaa wkiie pang'wanso.
and calling, asked if Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 Itungo nilanso uPetro nai watulaa ukusiga migulya a uwo u muloto, Ng'wau Ng'welu akaligitya nu ng'wenso,
But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee.
20 “Uka hangi usime pihi nu kulongola ni enso. Leka kitumba kulongola ni enso, ku nsoko nialagiiye.”
Arise then, and go down, and go with them, entertaining no doubt, for I have sent them.
21 uPetro akasima pihi kitalao nu kuligitya, “Unene yuyo ni mukumuduma. Ku niki mupembilye?”
Then Peter went down to the men who were sent by Cornelius to him; and said, Lo! I am the person that ye ask for: what is the business on which ye are come hither?
22 Akaligitya, “Akida ung'wi i lina nilakwe Kornelio, muntu nua tai ane hangi wilowaa kumukulya Itunda, ni antu imutambulaa ikende mu ingu wihi nua Ayahudi, utambuiwe nu malaika nuang'wa Itunda ku ulagiilya iti ulongole mi ito nilakwe, iti wije u lukani kupuma kitalako.”
Then they said, Cornelius a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report with all the nation of the Jews, has been divinely admonished by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, to hear words from thee.
23 uPetro aka asingiilya kingila mukati nu kikie palung'wi nu ng'wenso. Kidau dau nai kityatile akauka akalongola palung'wi ni enso, ni anya ndugu asheenyu kupuma ku Yafa akityata nu ng'wenso.
Then inviting them in, he lodged them there. And the next morning Peter went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Luhiku nai lutyatile ai azile ku Kaisaria. Nu Kornelio ai ukoli ualindiie; hangi ai watulaa waitanga palung'wi anya ndugu akwe ni ahumba uya akwe nia pakupi.
And the next day they entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his relations and nearest friends.
25 Matungo uPetro nai ukingila mukati, uKornelio akamusingiilya nu kutuna kupika pihi mu migulu akwe ku ikulyo.
And as Peter was entering, Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, paid him homage.
26 Kuiti uPetro akamunyansula nu kuligitya “Imike; ga nu nene mukola ingi ni bina adamu.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also myself am a man.
27 Matungo uPetro aze ukoli ukitambuila nu ng'wenso, ai ulongoe mu ito akahanga i antu ilundiila palung'wi.
And conversing with him, he entered, and found many assembled together.
28 Aka aila, Unyenye akola mulingile kina shanga ilagiilyo nila Ayahudi kihanguila ang'wi kugendeelwa nu muntu niiza shanga nua ingu uwu. Kuiti Itunda undagiie unene kina shanga ntakiwe kumitanga muntu wihi ingi muzung'waa ang'wi mushapu.
And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean.
29 Hangi yiyo ndogoelyo mpembilye bila kikungumya, nai ndagiigwe ku nsoko a iko. Kululo numukolye ku niki mulagiigwe ku nsoko ane.”
Wherefore also without a word, I came when invited: I beg to know therefore for what purpose ye have sent for me?
30 uKornelio akaligitya, “Mahiku anne nakiile, itungo anga lili aza nkoli kulompa itungo nila saa kenda mung'wi mukati ito nilane; Nihenga ntogeela ane muntu wimikile ukete ni ang'wenda elu.
Then Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and, lo! a man stood before me in shining apparel,
31 Akantambuila. “Kornelio malompi ako igigwa nu Itunda, ni masongelyo ako ku aula yatulaa ukimbukiilyi ntongeela ang'wa Itunda.
and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are remembered before God.
32 Kululo lagiilya muntu ku Yafa nu kumitanga muntu ung'wi nuitangwaa Simioni waze kitalako, naiza hangi witangwaa Petro. naizaa wikiie ku muzipya ndili ung'wi nuitangwaa Simioni naiza ito nilakwe likoli mu mpelo a luzi.
Send therefore to Joppa, and invite Simon, whose surname is Peter, to come to thee; he lodgeth in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea: who, when he is come will talk with thee.
33 (Komaniilya; U lukiili ulu, Nu ng'wenso nuikapemya ukuligitya nu nyenye,” umutule mu ukilisigwa nua kali.)
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore are all we here present before God, to hear all things that are given in charge to thee from God.
34 Uugwa uPetro akalugula u mulomo nuakwe nuku ligitya “Tai, nahuiila kina Itunda shanga uhumile kutula nu ukuili.
Then Peter opening his mouth, said, In truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons:
35 Badala akwe, kila ingu u muntu wihi nuimukulyaa nu kituma i ntendo nia tai ane ugombekile kitalakwe.
but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.
36 Ulingile u lukani nai u upimilye ku antu a Isreli, nai watulaa ukutanantya lukani nu lukende nula ulyuuku kukiila Yesu Kristo naiza Mukulu nua ihi -
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all, ) ye know:
37 nu nyenye akola mulingile i kintu nai kipumie, naiza kipumie ku Yudea ihi hangi ai landiiye ku Galilaya, ze yzkilaa u wogigwa naza uYohana ai utanantilye.
even that which was the common talk through all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 i kintu nai katulaa kimutule uYesu Kristo iti Itunda nai umuikie i makuta ku Ng'wau Ng'welu nu ku ngulu. Ai ulongoe nukituma u ukende nu kuaguna ihi naiagigwe nu mulugu, ku nsoko Itunda ai watulaa palung'wi nu ng'wenso.
respecting Jesus, who was of Nazareth, how God had anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were tyrannically oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 Usese ingi akuiili a makani ihi nai witumile mi ihi nia Uyahudi nu mu Yerusalemu- uyu ingi Yesu nai amubulagile nu kumutumbika mikota.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed suspending him on a tree:
40 Uyu muntu wang'wa Itunda nai umiukilye luhiku nula kataatu nu kuminkiilya kukumuka, shanga ku antu ihi, kuiti ku akuiili nai aholanigwe ze ikili ni Itunda.
him God raised up the third day, and ordained that he should be visibly manifested;
41 -usese akola, nai kalyaa nu ng'wenso nu kung'waa nu ng'wenso ze yakilaa kiuka kupuma ku ashi.
not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he was arisen from the dead.
42 Ukulagiiye kutanantya ku antu nu ku kuiila kina uyu yuyo naiza Itunda ai umuholanilye kutula mulamuli nua nia panga nawa niakule.
And hath commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to bear our testimony that this is the person who is ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 Mu ng'wenso anyakidagu ihi akuiile, iti kina kila nukuhuiila mu ng'wenso ukusingiilya ulekelwa nua mulandu kukiila i lina nilakwe.”
To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins.
44 Matungo uPetro ulongolekile kuligitya aya, Ng'wau Ng'welu akaizulya ihi nai atulaa akutegeelya u lukani nulakwe.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all who heard the discourse.
45 Antu awo niatulikile ni idale nila ahuiili nai atawe ikidamu- awo ihi nai azile nu Petro- ai akuiwe, ku nsoko a kipegwa nika Ng'wau Ng'welu nai uhunuwe ga nuku anyaingu.
And they of the circumcision who were believers, as many as came with Peter, were amazed, because even on the Gentiles the gift of the holy Ghost was poured out.
46 Ku nsoko ai igule awa anyaingu akutambula ku ntambu ingiiza nu kumukulya Itunda. uPetro akasukiilya.
For they heard them speaking in different languages, and magnifying God. Then Peter addressed them,
47 “Ukoli muntu wihi uhumile kugilya i mazi iti i antu aleke kogigwa, Antu awa amusingiilya uNg'wau Ng'welu anga usese?”
Can any one forbid the water for baptising these persons, who have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 Uugwa akalagiilya ogigwe ku lina nilang'wa Yesu Kristo. Panya mbele akamulompa wikiie nienso ku mahiku kituunga.
So he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to tarry there some days.
