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.
THERE was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 Aliga Ali munu mulengelesi no kumlamya Nyamuanga na inyumba yae yona; Aliga nasosha jimpilya nyafu ku bhayaudi no kusabhwa ku Nyamuanga nsiku jona.
A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3 Mu mwanya gwa saa mwenda ja mumwisi, nalola ebhilolo malaika wa Nyamuanga namujako. Malaika namubhwila, “Kornelio!
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto 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.”
And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 Mbe woli sila abhanu bhagende ku musi gwa Yafa no kumleta omunu umwi unu katogwa Simoni ne lindi kabhilikilwa Petro.
And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 Ekae na unu kayasha jinjai katogwa Simoni unu inyumba yae ili kunjejekela ya inyanja.”
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
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.
And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 Mbe Kornelio abhabhwilie gona ganu gabhonekene no kubhasila Yafa.
And when he had declared all these things unto them, 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.
On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 Mbe nabha no omweko nakena echinu cho kulya, nawe mu mwanya ogwo abhanu bhaliga nibhateka ebilyo nelesibwa ebhilolo,
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 Nalola olwile nilwiguka nechinu chilebhe kuti ngubho nene ni ika emwalo ansi ku nsonde jayo jona enna.
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to 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.
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 Obhulaka nibhwaika lindi ku mwene “imuka, Petro ubhage na ulye.”
And there came a voice to him, Rise, 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 said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 Mbe nawe Obhulaka nibhuja ku mwene lindi lwa kabhili ati, “chinu osishe Nyamuanga wasinga chitoga chibhibhi amwi chijabhi.”
And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 Gunu gwabhonekene kwiya ngendo esatu, ne chinu echo nichigegwa lindi mulutumbha.
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again 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.
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,
18 Mbe nibhabhilikila no kubhusha alabha Simoni unu abhilikiywe Petro labha aliga ekae alia.
And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 Mu mwanya ogwo Petro anu aliga neganilisha ingulu ye bhilolo, Mwoyo naika nage,”Lola abhanu bhasatu abhakuyenja.
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Imuka wike emwalo na ugende nabho. Wasiga kubaya ugende nabho, kulwo kubha nibhatumile.”
Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Petro neka emwalo ku bhene no kwaika “Anye nanye uliya unu omuyenja. Kubhaki mwaja?”
Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
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”.
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23 Petro nabhafogesha okwingila munju no kwinyanja amwi nage. Katondo inu yalubhiye nemuka nagenda amwi nage, na bhaili batoto kusoka Yafa nibhabha amwi nage.
Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 olunaku lunu lwalubhie bhejile Kaisaria. Mbe Kornelio aliga abhategelee; na aliga abhabhilikie amwi na bhaili bhae na bhasani bhae abhayei.
And the morrow after they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 mu mwanya ogwo Petro engie munda, Kornelio namulamila no kumfukamila kukinga ansi ku magulu gae kwe chibhalo.
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 . Mbe nawe Petro namwinamusha no kwaika “imelegulu; anye omwene nili mwana munu.”
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 Mu mwanya ogwo Petro naika nage, engie munda nasanga abhanu bhekofyanyishe amwi.
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
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.
And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 Niyo insonga nijile kubhambala uli, natumilwe kulwa injuno eyo. kulwejo nibhabhushe kulwaki mwatumilwe kulwa injuno yani.”
Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have 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,
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 Nambhwila, Kornelio lisabhwa lyao lyonguywe na Nyamuanga, ne migemu jao ku bhataka one bhwabhee bhwichukisho imbhele ya Nyamuanga.
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
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 therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
33 komelesha: olugobho lunu,”mwenene akaja kaika nemwe”, lutalimo mu maandiko ga kala.
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
34 Mbe Petro natanya omunwa gwae no kwaika,” Nchimali nekilisha ati Nyamuanga atakutula kubha na solole.
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 Kwibhyo ejibhonekana ati, bhuli Eyanga munu wona wona unu kamulamya no kukola ebhikolwa bhye kisi kekilisibhwa kumwene.
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
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.
The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all: )
37 Emwe abhene-la mumenyele, linu lyabhonekene mu Yudea yona na lyambhie Galilaya, bhejile bhamala obhubhatijo bhunu Yohana alasishe.
That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judæa, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
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.
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; 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.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Omunu unu Nyamuanga amusuluye ku lusiku lwa kasatu no kumuyana okumenyekana,
Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
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 all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink 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.
And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 mu mwene abhalagi bhona bhamubhambhalie, ati koleleki buli unu kekilisha mu mwene kabhona okwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi kwo kulabha mwisina lyae.”
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 Mu mwanya ogwo Petro nagendelela okwaika ganu, Mwoyo Mwelu nabhejusha bhona bhanu bhaliga nibhategelesha emisango jae.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
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.
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 Kwo kubha bhonguywe abha Maanga nibhaika mu ndimi jindi no kumulamya Nyamuanga. Petro nasubhya,
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 “Alio omunu wona wona unu katula okuganya amanji koleleki abhanu bhasige kubhatibhwa, abhanu bhanu bhamulamiye Mwoyo Mwelu lweswe?”
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 Mbe niwo nabhalagilila bhabhatijibhwe Mwisina lya Yesu masiya. Okumala nibhamusabhwa enyanje nabho nsiku nyafuo.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
