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 man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort.
2 Ajhe mchamungu na amwabuduili K'yara ni nyumba jha muene jhioha ahomisi hela nyingi kwa bhayahudi na asokili kwa K'yara magono ghoha.
He was a devout man who feared God along with his entire household; he gave generously to those in need and always prayed to God.
3 Muda ghwa saa tisa gha pamusi, abhwene maono Malaika ghwa K'yara ihida kwa muene. Malaika akan'jobhela
About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God, who came in and said 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”.
Staring at him intently, Cornelius was afraid and said, “What is it, Lord?” The angel said to him, “Yoʋr prayers and charitable acts have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
5 Henu laghisiajhi bhanu kulota mji ghwa Yafa kundeta munu mmonga jhaikutibhwa Simoni ambaye pia ikutibhwa Petro.
Now send men to Joppa and have them bring back Simon, who is called Peter.
6 Itamana ni n'tengenesiajhi ghwa ngozi jhaikutibhwa Simoni ambajhe nyumba jha muene ijhele kando jha bahari.”
He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea.”
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.
When the angel who spoke to him went away, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
8 Kornelio akabhajobhela ghoha ghaghatokili ni kubhalaghisya Yafa.
After explaining everything to them, 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, as the men were traveling along and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about the sixth hour.
10 Na kabhele ajhele ni njala naalondeghe kulya khenu, lakini wakati bhanu bhiteleka kyakulya, akalasibhwa maono.
He became hungry and wanted to eat, and as they were preparing a meal, a trance fell upon him.
11 Akabhona anga lifunguiki ni khenu kiselela ni khenu fulani kama nghobho mbhaha jhiselela pasi pa ardhi mu kona syake syoha nne.
He saw heaven opened and an object like a large sheet coming down to him. It was tied at its four corners and was being lowered 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 it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, as well as wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
13 Kabhele sauti ikajobha kwa muene “Jhumukayi, Petro chinja ni bhola”.
Then a voice came 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, “Surely not, Lord! For I have never eaten anything that is defiled or unclean.”
15 Lakini sauti ikahida kwa muene kabhele kabhele mara jhe pili “Kyaakitakasili Mungu ghilondeka lepi kukikuta najisi wala kichafu”.
The voice came to him again a second time: “Do not regard as defiled what God has made clean.”
16 Ejhe jhatokili mara tatu ni khenu kela kikajha kitolibhu kabhele angani.
This happened three times, and then the object 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 greatly perplexed, pondering within himself what the vision he had seen might mean, behold, the men sent by Cornelius had asked for Simon's house and were standing at the gate.
18 Na bhakakuta ni kukotelesya kama Simoni ambajhe pia akutibhu Petro kama atameghe pala.
They called out and asked if Simon, who was called Peter, was staying there.
19 Wakati obhu Petr ibhwasya juu jha maono aghu, Roho akajobha nakhu, “Langayi bhanu bhadatu bhikulonda.
As Peter continued pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, some men are looking for yoʋ.
20 Jhumukayi na uselelayi pasi na ulotayi nabhu. Usitili kulota nabhu, kwa ndabha nibhalaghisi.”
Now get up, go downstairs, and go with them without any misgivings, for I have sent them.”
21 Petro akaselela pasi kwa bhene ni kujobha, “Nene ndo jhola jha mukandonda kwandajha kiki muhidili?”
So Peter went down to the men and said, “Behold, I am the one you are looking for. For what reason have you come?”
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.”
They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the entire Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for yoʋ to come to his house and to hear a message from yoʋ.”
23 Petro akabhakaribisya kujhingila mugati ni kutama pamonga ni muene, Lukhela bhakajhumuka bhakalota pamonga ni muene, ni bhalongomunu bhadebe kuhomela Yafa bhakalongosana naku.
So Peter invited them in and put them up for the night. The next day Peter went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Ligono lyalyafwatili bhahidili Kaisaria. Ni Kornelio akajha akabhalendela; na abhakutili ni bhalongo munu ni bharafiki zake bha karibu.
The following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
25 Wakati Petro ijhingila mugati Kornelio akamlaki ni kujhinama hadi pais mu magolo gha muene kwa kun'heshimu.
When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 Lakini Petro an'jhinuili ni kujobha “Jhemayi; ne mwene ne mwanadamu.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am just a man.”
27 Wakati Petro ilongela naku, alotili mgati abhwene bhanu bhabhonganiki pamonga.
As Peter talked with him, he went in and found many people 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.
Peter said to them, “You know that it is forbidden for a Jewish man to keep company with or associate with a foreigner, but God has shown me that I should call no one defiled or unclean.
29 Na ndo maana nihidili bila kubishila, bhonilaghisibhu kwa ndabha jha ejhu. Hene nibhakotayi kwandayakiki mwalaghisibhu kwandabha jha nene.”
That is why I came without objection when I was sent for. I ask then, what is the reason 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,
Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour. At the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing.
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.
The man said, ‘Cornelius, yoʋr prayer has been heard, and yoʋr charitable acts have been 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.
Therefore send to Joppa and ask for Simon, who is called Peter. He is staying by the sea in the house of a tanner named Simon. When he arrives, he will speak to yoʋ.’
33 Zingatilayi: N'sitari obho, “Nu muene pa ibeta kuhida ibeta kujobha namu,” bhujhelepi mu aandiku gha muandi.
So I sent for yoʋ at once, and yoʋ have done well by coming. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to hear all that yoʋ have been commanded by God.”
34 Ndipo Petro akajhajhula ndomo ghwa muene ni kujobha “Kweli, nikiera K'yara ibhwesya lepi kujha ni upendeleo.
Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “Now I truly understand that God shows no partiality,
35 Badala jhike khila taifa munu jhejhioha jha ikamwabudu ni kubhomba matendo gha haki ijhedekelibhwa kwa muene.
but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right 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-
You yourselves know the message he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching the good news of peace through 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.
the message that spread throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that 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.
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, who then went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because 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.
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a cross,
40 Munu ojho K'yara amfufuili ligono lya tatu ni kumbeka kumanyikana,
but God raised him up on the third day and allowed him to be seen,
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 by all the people, but by us, the witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 Atulaghisi kuhubiri kwa bhanu ni kushuhudila kujha mwamuzi ghwa bhabhajhe hai ni bhoha bhabhafuili.
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one who has been appointed by God as 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.”
All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives remission of sins through his name.”
44 Wakati Petro ijhendelela kujobha agha, Roho mtakatifu akabhajaza bhoha bhabhajhele bhip'elekesya ujumbe bhwa muene.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the message.
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.
All the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was being poured out even on the Gentiles.
46 Kwa kujha bhap'eliki abha bhamataifa bhilongela kwa lugha s'enge ni kumwabudu K'yara. Petro ajibili,
For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter responded,
47 “Ajhe munu jhejhioha jhaibhwesya kuzuila masi ili bhanu bhasibatisibhu, bhanu abha bhampokili Roho mtakatifu kama tete?”
“Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
48 Ndipo akabhaamuru bhabatisibhwayi kwa lihina lya Yesu Kristu. Baadaye bhakan'soka atama ni bhene kwa magono kadhaa.
So he gave orders to have them baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.
