Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 10
1 Aliga alio munu mulebhe mu musi gwa kaisaria, lisina lyae atogwaga Kornelio, aliga ali munu mukulu owe chise cha abhaitalia.
In Caesarea lived a man named Cornelius who was a Roman centurion of the Italian battalion.
2 Aliga Ali munu mulengelesi no kumlamya Nyamuanga na inyumba yae yona; Aliga nasosha jimpilya nyafu ku bhayaudi no kusabhwa ku Nyamuanga nsiku jona.
He was a religious man who, together with everyone in his household, had great reverence for God. He gave generously to the poor, and prayed regularly to God.
3 Mu mwanya gwa saa mwenda ja mumwisi, nalola ebhilolo malaika wa Nyamuanga namujako. Malaika namubhwila, “Kornelio!
At about 3 p.m. one day he had a vision in which he saw very clearly an angel of God who came to him and called to him, “Cornelius!”
4 Kornelio namulolela malaika na aliga no bhubha bhwafu mno naika ati,”chinu ni chinuki mukulu”? Malaika namubhwila “Okusabhwa kwao ne bhiyanwa bhyao bhinu ouyanaga abhataka bhyalinyile ingulu kuti bhwichukisho bhwo kubhao kwa Nyamuanga.”
Frightened, Cornelius stared at him and asked, “What do you want, Lord?” “God has paid attention to your prayers, and recognized your generosity to the poor,” he told Cornelius.
5 Mbe woli sila abhanu bhagende ku musi gwa Yafa no kumleta omunu umwi unu katogwa Simoni ne lindi kabhilikilwa Petro.
“Now send some men to Joppa, and fetch Simon, also called Peter,
6 Ekae na unu kayasha jinjai katogwa Simoni unu inyumba yae ili kunjejekela ya inyanja.”
who is staying at Simon the tanner's house down by the sea-shore.”
7 Malaika unu aliga naika nage ejile asokao, Kornelio nabhabhilikila abhakosi bha mu nyumba yae bhabhili, no musilikale unu aliga namulyamya Nyamuanga mu bhasilikale bhanu bhaliga nibhamukolela.
When the angel who had spoken to him had left, Cornelius called in two of his house-servants and a soldier of his personal guard, a religious man.
8 Mbe Kornelio abhabhwilie gona ganu gabhonekene no kubhasila Yafa.
After he'd explained to them all that had happened he sent them to Joppa.
9 olusiku lunu lwalubhie kuti mwanya gwa saa mukaga bhali mulugendo Mbe nibhalebhelela mu musi, Mbe Petro nalinya ingulu mulusala najo okusabhwa.
The next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up onto the top of the house to pray. It was about noon,
10 Mbe nabha no omweko nakena echinu cho kulya, nawe mu mwanya ogwo abhanu bhaliga nibhateka ebilyo nelesibwa ebhilolo,
and he was getting hungry, wanting to eat. But while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance, and
11 Nalola olwile nilwiguka nechinu chilebhe kuti ngubho nene ni ika emwalo ansi ku nsonde jayo jona enna.
he saw heaven opened. He saw something coming down that looked like a large sheet held by its four corners, being lowered onto the earth.
12 Mbe munda yacho bhyaliga bhilimo bhinu bhyafu bhya bhuli nyami jilimo jityanyi ja magulu gana na bhinu ebhikwesa ansi, na jinyonyi ja mulutumbha.
Inside were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds.
13 Obhulaka nibhwaika lindi ku mwene “imuka, Petro ubhage na ulye.”
He heard a voice say, “Get up Peter, kill and eat!”
14 Mbe nawe Petro naika,” atalikutyo Latabugenyi kulwo kubha nichaliga kulya chinu chona chona chinu chili chibhibhi na chijabhi.”
But Peter replied, “Certainly not, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is impure and unclean.”
15 Mbe nawe Obhulaka nibhuja ku mwene lindi lwa kabhili ati, “chinu osishe Nyamuanga wasinga chitoga chibhibhi amwi chijabhi.”
He heard the voice speak again, “Don't you call unclean what God has made clean!”
16 Gunu gwabhonekene kwiya ngendo esatu, ne chinu echo nichigegwa lindi mulutumbha.
This happened three times, and then the sheet was quickly taken back into heaven.
17 No mwanya ogwo Petro nasusana no musasi ingulu ye bhilolo ebhyo bhili na bhugajulo -ki, nalola, abhanu bhanu bhaliga bhatumilwe na Kornelio nibhemelegulu imbhele ya lilango, nibhabhusha injila yo kuja mu nyumba.
While Peter was puzzling over what the vision he'd seen really meant, the men sent by Cornelius had found out where Simon's house was and were standing at the gate.
18 Mbe nibhabhilikila no kubhusha alabha Simoni unu abhilikiywe Petro labha aliga ekae alia.
They called out, asking whether Simon, also called Peter, was staying there.
19 Mu mwanya ogwo Petro anu aliga neganilisha ingulu ye bhilolo, Mwoyo naika nage,”Lola abhanu bhasatu abhakuyenja.
While Peter was still wondering about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Look, there are three men looking for you.
20 Imuka wike emwalo na ugende nabho. Wasiga kubaya ugende nabho, kulwo kubha nibhatumile.”
Get up, go downstairs, and go with them. Don't worry at all because I'm the one who sent them.”
21 Petro neka emwalo ku bhene no kwaika “Anye nanye uliya unu omuyenja. Kubhaki mwaja?”
So Peter went downstairs to meet the men. “I'm the one you're looking for,” he said. “Why are you here?”
22 Nibhaika, “mukulu umwi wa bhasilikale lisina lyae Kornelio, ni munu we chimali na endele muno okumulamya Nyamuanga, na abhanu abhamwaika kisi mwiyanga lyona elya bhayaudi, nabhwilwa na malaika wa Nyamuanga okukutuma koleleki ugende ku nyumba yae, koleleki ugwe emisango okusoka kwawe”.
“We come from Cornelius, a good, religious man who has reverence for God and is widely respected among the Jewish people,” they replied. “A holy angel instructed him to send for you to come to his house so he can hear what you have to tell him.”
23 Petro nabhafogesha okwingila munju no kwinyanja amwi nage. Katondo inu yalubhiye nemuka nagenda amwi nage, na bhaili batoto kusoka Yafa nibhabha amwi nage.
So he invited them in and they stayed there. The next day he got up and left with them. Some of the brothers from Joppa went with them too.
24 olunaku lunu lwalubhie bhejile Kaisaria. Mbe Kornelio aliga abhategelee; na aliga abhabhilikie amwi na bhaili bhae na bhasani bhae abhayei.
The following day they arrived in Caesarea where Cornelius was waiting for them with his relatives and close friends whom he'd called together.
25 mu mwanya ogwo Petro engie munda, Kornelio namulamila no kumfukamila kukinga ansi ku magulu gae kwe chibhalo.
When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.
26 . Mbe nawe Petro namwinamusha no kwaika “imelegulu; anye omwene nili mwana munu.”
But Peter pulled him back up, telling him, “Stand up! I'm only a man!”
27 Mu mwanya ogwo Petro naika nage, engie munda nasanga abhanu bhekofyanyishe amwi.
Peter spoke with Cornelius, and then went on in where he found many other people waiting for him.
28 Nabhabhwila, “emwe abhene mu menyele ati chitali chilagilo cha bhayaudi ati bhabhe bhumwi no kulibhatilwa no munu unu atali we Yanga linu. Nawe Nyamuanga amalile okunyelesha anye ati kutanyi ile okumubhilikila omunu wona wona ati ni mubhibhi amwi mujabi.
He said to them, “You certainly know that it's not permitted for a Jew to be associated with or to visit foreigners. But God has shown me that it's not for me to call anyone impure or unclean.
29 Niyo insonga nijile kubhambala uli, natumilwe kulwa injuno eyo. kulwejo nibhabhushe kulwaki mwatumilwe kulwa injuno yani.”
That's why I came without any argument when I was sent for. So now I want to know the reason why you sent for me.”
30 Kornelio naika,”naku enna jinu jatulileo, mu mwanya kuti gunu naliga ninsabhwa mu mwanya gwa saa mwenda mu mwisi nili mu nyumba yani; nindola imbele yani omunu emeleguyu ali nebhifwalo bhyelu,
“Four days ago, at about this time—three in the afternoon—I was praying in my house,” Cornelius explained. “Suddenly I saw a man standing in front of me, dressed in clothes that shone brightly.
31 Nambhwila, Kornelio lisabhwa lyao lyonguywe na Nyamuanga, ne migemu jao ku bhataka one bhwabhee bhwichukisho imbhele ya Nyamuanga.
He told me, ‘Cornelius, your prayers have been heard, and God has recognized your generosity to the poor.
32 Kulwejo nutume omunu aje Yafa ajo omubhilikila munu umwi unu kabhilikilwa Simoni aje kwawe, ne lindi katogwa Petro. Unu ekae ku munu unu kayasha Jinjai unu katogwa Simoni unu inyumba yae ili kumbali ya Inyanja.
Send someone to Joppa for Simon Peter. He's staying at Simon the tanner's house, down by the sea-shore.’
33 komelesha: olugobho lunu,”mwenene akaja kaika nemwe”, lutalimo mu maandiko ga kala.
So immediately I sent for you, and it was good of you to come. That's why we're all here, meeting together before God, ready to hear everything the Lord has told you.”
34 Mbe Petro natanya omunwa gwae no kwaika,” Nchimali nekilisha ati Nyamuanga atakutula kubha na solole.
Peter replied, “I'm totally convinced that God has no favorites.
35 Kwibhyo ejibhonekana ati, bhuli Eyanga munu wona wona unu kamulamya no kukola ebhikolwa bhye kisi kekilisibhwa kumwene.
In every nation God accepts those who respect him, and do what is good and right.
36 Umenyele emisango jinu asosishe ku bhanu bha Israel, aliga nalasha emisango jo bhwana ejo mulembe gunu ogulabha ku Yesu Masiya unu ali Latabugenyi wa bona.
You know the message he sent to Israel, sharing the good news of peace that comes from Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37 Emwe abhene-la mumenyele, linu lyabhonekene mu Yudea yona na lyambhie Galilaya, bhejile bhamala obhubhatijo bhunu Yohana alasishe.
You know that this good news spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee, following John's call to baptism.
38 okulubhana ne misango ja Masiya Yesu lwa kutyo Nyamuanga amuteleyeko mafuta ga Mwoyo Mwelu kwa managa. Agendele nakola ebhye kisi no kwiulisha bhona bhanu bhaga nibhanyasibwa na shetani, kulwo kubha Nyamuanga aliga ali amwi nage.
It's about Jesus of Nazareth—how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went around doing good, healing all those who were under the devil's control, for God was with him.
39 Eswe chili bhabhambhasi bha ganu gone ago akolele mu muchalo cha bhuyaudi na mu Yerusalemu - ati unu niwe Yesu unu bhetile no kumusunga kwiti.
We can testify to all that he did in Judea and Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross.
40 Omunu unu Nyamuanga amusuluye ku lusiku lwa kasatu no kumuyana okumenyekana,
But God raised him back to life on the third day, and had him appear,
41 Atali ku bhanu bhona, nawe ni kubhabhambhasi bhanu bhasolelwe ku bhwambhilo na Nyamuanga - Eswe bhona, bhanu chalie nage no kunywa nage anu aliga achali kusuka okusoka mu bhafuye.
not to everyone, but to those witnesses chosen by God—including us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 Achilagilie okusimulila abhanu no kubhabhambalila ati unu niwe unu Nyamuanga amusolele kubha mulamusi wa bhaanga na bhafue.
He gave us the responsibility of publicly telling this to the people, to testify that he is the one God chose as the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 mu mwene abhalagi bhona bhamubhambhalie, ati koleleki buli unu kekilisha mu mwene kabhona okwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi kwo kulabha mwisina lyae.”
He is the one all the prophets spoke about, that everyone who trusts in him will receive forgiveness through his name.”
44 Mu mwanya ogwo Petro nagendelela okwaika ganu, Mwoyo Mwelu nabhejusha bhona bhanu bhaliga nibhategelesha emisango jae.
While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on all of them who were listening to the message.
45 Okulubhana no bhwafu bhwa bhanu bhalya abhekilisha bhanu bhasalilwe- bhona bhanu bhejile na Petro -nibhatang'anga'la kulwa insonga ye chiyanwa cha Mwoyo mwelu chinu chetiliywe ku bhanu bha Maanga.
The Jewish believers who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the foreigners.
46 Kwo kubha bhonguywe abha Maanga nibhaika mu ndimi jindi no kumulamya Nyamuanga. Petro nasubhya,
They heard them speaking in tongues, glorifying God.
47 “Alio omunu wona wona unu katula okuganya amanji koleleki abhanu bhasige kubhatibhwa, abhanu bhanu bhamulamiye Mwoyo Mwelu lweswe?”
Then Peter asked, “Is anybody going to prevent them being baptized in water, since they have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
48 Mbe niwo nabhalagilila bhabhatijibhwe Mwisina lya Yesu masiya. Okumala nibhamusabhwa enyanje nabho nsiku nyafuo.
He gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they pleaded with him to spend some time with them.
