Matendo ya Mitume 10
1 Kwajhele ni munu fulani mu mji ghwa Kaisaria, lihina lya muene Kornelio, ajhele mbaha ghwa kikosi kya kiitalia.
Now there was a certain man in Cesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion that called the Italian Band,
2 Ajhe mchamungu na amwabuduili K'yara ni nyumba jha muene jhioha ahomisi hela nyingi kwa bhayahudi na asokili kwa K'yara magono ghoha.
a man of piety, and one that feared God, with all his house; giving, also, much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
3 Muda ghwa saa tisa gha pamusi, abhwene maono Malaika ghwa K'yara ihida kwa muene. Malaika akan'jobhela
He evidently saw, in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius!
4 “Kornelio! Kornelio akandanga malaika na ajhele ni hofu mbaha sana akajobha “Ejhe ndo kiki n'kolo?” Malaika akan'jobhela “Maombi gha jhobhi ni zawadi sya jhobhi kwa maskini sikwelili kunani kama kumbukumbu mu uwepo bhwa K'yara”.
And having fixed his eyes upon him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms are come up, as a memorial before God.
5 Henu laghisiajhi bhanu kulota mji ghwa Yafa kundeta munu mmonga jhaikutibhwa Simoni ambaye pia ikutibhwa Petro.
And now send men to Joppa and bring hither Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 Itamana ni n'tengenesiajhi ghwa ngozi jhaikutibhwa Simoni ambajhe nyumba jha muene ijhele kando jha bahari.”
he lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.
7 Baada jha Malaika jha ajobheghe nu muene kubhoka, kornelio akabhakuta bhatumishi bha panyumba jha muene bhabhele ni askari jha amwabudueghe K'yara kati jha maaskari bhabhan'tumikileghe.
As soon as the messenger, who spoke to Cornelius, was gone, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, of them that waited upon him;
8 Kornelio akabhajobhela ghoha ghaghatokili ni kubhalaghisya Yafa.
and having related to them all these things, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Ligono lyalyafwatili muda ghwa saa sita bho bhajhe munjela na bhikaribila ku mjini Petro akakuela panani pa darini kus'oka.
On the next day, while they were on their journey, and drew near the city, Peter went up to the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 Na kabhele ajhele ni njala naalondeghe kulya khenu, lakini wakati bhanu bhiteleka kyakulya, akalasibhwa maono.
And he was hungry, and would have taken a little refreshment; but while they were preparing, he fell into an ecstasy;
11 Akabhona anga lifunguiki ni khenu kiselela ni khenu fulani kama nghobho mbhaha jhiselela pasi pa ardhi mu kona syake syoha nne.
and he saw heaven opened, and something descending like a great sheet, fastened at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Mugati mwake kwajhele ni aina syoha sya bhanyama bhenye magolo mancheche na bhabhiboya panani pa ardhi, ni fidege fya anga.
in which there were all sorts of things, even four-footed animals of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air.
13 Kabhele sauti ikajobha kwa muene “Jhumukayi, Petro chinja ni bhola”.
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter, kill, and eat.
14 Lakini Petro akajobha “Naha lepi, Bwana kwandabha nibhwayilepi kulya khenu kyokyoha najisi na kichafu.
But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eat anything which is common or unclean.
15 Lakini sauti ikahida kwa muene kabhele kabhele mara jhe pili “Kyaakitakasili Mungu ghilondeka lepi kukikuta najisi wala kichafu”.
And the voice said to him again, the second time, Those things which God has cleansed, do not you call common.
16 Ejhe jhatokili mara tatu ni khenu kela kikajha kitolibhu kabhele angani.
And this was done three times, and the sheet was taken up again into heaven.
17 Ni Petro bho ajhele katika hali jha kuchanganyikibhwa juu jha maono aghu ghimaanisha kiki, Langayi, bhanu bhabhatumibhu ni Kornelio bhakajhema palongolo ndiangu, bhakajha bhikota jhela jha kulota mu nyumba.
While Peter was pondering in himself, what the vision, which he had seen, might import; behold, the men, who were sent from Cornelius, having inquired out the house of Simon, stood at the door;
18 Na bhakakuta ni kukotelesya kama Simoni ambajhe pia akutibhu Petro kama atameghe pala.
and calling, they asked, if Simon, whose surname was Peter, lodged there.
19 Wakati obhu Petr ibhwasya juu jha maono aghu, Roho akajobha nakhu, “Langayi bhanu bhadatu bhikulonda.
Now, as Peter was reflecting on this vision; the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men are inquiring for you:
20 Jhumukayi na uselelayi pasi na ulotayi nabhu. Usitili kulota nabhu, kwa ndabha nibhalaghisi.”
arise, therefore, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them.
21 Petro akaselela pasi kwa bhene ni kujobha, “Nene ndo jhola jha mukandonda kwandajha kiki muhidili?”
Then Peter went down to the men, who were sent to him from Cornelius, and said, Behold, I am the man whom you seek; what is the cause of your coming?
22 Bhakajobha, “Akida mmongalihina lya muene Kornelio, munu ghwa haki ni kugana kumwabudu K'yara ni bhanu bhakan'jobha kinofu mu litaifa lyoha lya kiyahudi, ajobhibhu ni malaika ghwa K'yara kukulaghisya ili kulota ku nyumba jha mene, ili ap'elekayi ujumbe kuhomela kwa bhebhe.”
And they said, Cornelius, the centurion, a righteous man, who fears God, and has a character attested by all the Jewish people, has been instructed, by a holy messenger, to send for you to his house, and to hear words from you.
23 Petro akabhakaribisya kujhingila mugati ni kutama pamonga ni muene, Lukhela bhakajhumuka bhakalota pamonga ni muene, ni bhalongomunu bhadebe kuhomela Yafa bhakalongosana naku.
Having, therefore, called them in, he entertained them, and the next day set out with them: and some of the brethren, who were of Joppa, went with him.
24 Ligono lyalyafwatili bhahidili Kaisaria. Ni Kornelio akajha akabhalendela; na abhakutili ni bhalongo munu ni bharafiki zake bha karibu.
And the next day they entered into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate friends.
25 Wakati Petro ijhingila mugati Kornelio akamlaki ni kujhinama hadi pais mu magolo gha muene kwa kun'heshimu.
Now, as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and prostrating himself at his feet, made obeisance.
26 Lakini Petro an'jhinuili ni kujobha “Jhemayi; ne mwene ne mwanadamu.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also am a man.
27 Wakati Petro ilongela naku, alotili mgati abhwene bhanu bhabhonganiki pamonga.
And discoursing with him, he went in, and found many gathered together.
28 Akabhajobhela, “Mwejhomu mumanyili kujha sheria lepi jha kiyahudi kushirikiana au kugendibhwa ni munu ambajhe wa taifa e'le lepi. Lakini K'yara andasi nene kujha nilondeka lepi kun'kuta munu jhejhioha ndo najisi au n'chafu.
And he said to them, You know that it is unlawful for a man that is a Jew to join with, or to come into the house of, one of another nation; nevertheless, God has shown me that I am to call no man common or unclean.
29 Na ndo maana nihidili bila kubishila, bhonilaghisibhu kwa ndabha jha ejhu. Hene nibhakotayi kwandayakiki mwalaghisibhu kwandabha jha nene.”
Wherefore, when I was sent for, I came without debate: I ask, therefore, on what account you have sent for me?
30 Kornelio akajobha, “Magono mancheche gha ghalotili, wakati kama obho nikajha nis'oka muda ghwa saa tisa pamusi mugati mu nyumba jha nene; Nabhwene palongolo pa nene munu ajhemili ajhe ni maguanda mabhalafu,
And Cornelius said, Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright raiment,
31 Akan'jobhela “Kornelio maombi gha jhobhi ghap'elibhu ni K'yara, ni zawadi sya jhobhi kwa maskini sijhele sya ukumbusho mbele sya K'yara.
and said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are remembered before God:
32 Kwa hiyo laghisiajhi munu Yafa na akan'kutayi munu mmonga jhaikutibhwa Simoni ahidayi kwa bhebhe, ambajhe ikutibhwa Petro ambajhe iishi kwa n'tengenesya ngozi mmonga jhaikutibhwa Simoni ambajhe nyumba jha muene ijhele pembeni mwa bahari.
send, therefore, to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodges in the house of one Simon, a tanner, by the seaside; who, when he is come, shall speak to you.
33 Zingatilayi: N'sitari obho, “Nu muene pa ibeta kuhida ibeta kujobha namu,” bhujhelepi mu aandiku gha muandi.
Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and you have done well in coming. Now, therefore, we are all here present before God, to hear all things which God has given to you in charge.
34 Ndipo Petro akajhajhula ndomo ghwa muene ni kujobha “Kweli, nikiera K'yara ibhwesya lepi kujha ni upendeleo.
Then Peter, opening his mouth, said, Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons;
35 Badala jhike khila taifa munu jhejhioha jha ikamwabudu ni kubhomba matendo gha haki ijhedekelibhwa kwa muene.
but, in every nation, he that fears him, and works of righteousness, is acceptable to him.
36 Umanyi ujumbe bhwa abhupisi kwa bhana bha Israeli, bho itangasya habari sinofu sya amani kup'etela Yesu Kristu ambajhe ni Bwana ghwa bhoha-
This is that message which he sent to the children of Israel; proclaiming the glad tidings of peace by Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37 Mwejhomo mumanyili litukio lya litokili, ambalyo litokili Yudea jhioha na lyajhandili Galilaya, baada jha ubatizo ambabho Yohana alangasili.
You know the report there was, through all Judea, which began from Galilee, after the immersion which John preached,
38 Yukio lya limhusueghe Yesu Kristu jinsi K'yara kya an'sopili mafuta kwa Roho mtakatifu ni kwa nghofu. Alotili kubhomba manofu ni kupongesya bhoha bhabhatesibhu ni ibilisi kwa kujha K'yara ajhele pamonga na bhene.
concerning Jesus of Nazareth; how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit, and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
39 Tete ndo mashahidi bha mambo ghoha gha aghabhombili mu nchi sya uyahudi ni mu Yerusalemu- ojho ndo Yesu jhabhan'komili ni kun'tondeka pa libehe.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem: whom they slew, hanging him on a tree.
40 Munu ojho K'yara amfufuili ligono lya tatu ni kumbeka kumanyikana,
This very person God raised up, on the third day, and granted him to become manifest;
41 tete kwa bhanu bhoha, lakini kwa mashahidi bhabhachagulibhu kabla ni K'yara - tete twebhene, jha twalili naku ni kunywa naku baada jha kufufuka kuhoma kwa bhafu.
not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who have eat and drunk with him after he arose from the dead.
42 Atulaghisi kuhubiri kwa bhanu ni kushuhudila kujha mwamuzi ghwa bhabhajhe hai ni bhoha bhabhafuili.
And he has given in charge to us to proclaim to the people, and to testify that it is he who is appointed by God, to be the judge of the living and the dead.
43 Kwa muene manabii bhoha bhashuhudilayi, ili kwamba khila jha iamini kwa muene apokelayi msamaha ghwa dhambi kup'etela lihina lya muene.”
To him all the prophets bear witness, that every one who believes on him, shall receive forgiveness of sins by his name.
44 Wakati Petro ijhendelela kujobha agha, Roho mtakatifu akabhajaza bhoha bhabhajhele bhip'elekesya ujumbe bhwa muene.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were hearing the word:
45 Bhanu bhala bha bhihusika ni kikundi kya bhaamini bhabhatahiribhu- bhoha bhabhahidili ni Petro- bhasyangesibhu, kwa ndabha jha karama jha Roho mtakatifu jhaamwagibhu pia kwa bhamataifa.
and they of the circumcision, who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished that the gift of the Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also:
46 Kwa kujha bhap'eliki abha bhamataifa bhilongela kwa lugha s'enge ni kumwabudu K'yara. Petro ajibili,
for they heard them speaking in diverse languages, and glorifying God.
47 “Ajhe munu jhejhioha jhaibhwesya kuzuila masi ili bhanu bhasibatisibhu, bhanu abha bhampokili Roho mtakatifu kama tete?”
Then Peter answered, Can any one forbid water, that these persons should not be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
48 Ndipo akabhaamuru bhabatisibhwayi kwa lihina lya Yesu Kristu. Baadaye bhakan'soka atama ni bhene kwa magono kadhaa.
And he ordered them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. And they entreated him to continue with them several days.
