Mitendo 10
1 Linu kubena mukwame ya ba kuhala mu muleneñi wa Sesalia, Kornile che zina, mukulwana wa Masole yi ba kusumpwa Italiya.
At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.
2 I bali mukwame, zumwi ya bakulapela Ireeza ni be nzubo yakwe; aba hi masheleñi mangi ku bantu ba Majuda mi inako yonse a bakulapela Ireeza.
He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.
3 Chi ku ba kuatumela inako ya bulobañwi ye zuba, a ba boni hande mumpono iñeloi lye Ireeza nilikeza kwali. Iñeloi ni lyati kwali, “Kornele;”
One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
4 Kornele ni chadunamena iñeloi imi abatite hahulu ni chati, “Chinzi fumwangu?” Iñeloi ni lyati kwali, “Intapelo zako ni mpo zako kuba saliwaneli ziba yendi kwiwulu sina kuzeza za chitabelo che Ireeza.
Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
5 Linu utume bakwame ku muleneñi wa Jopa kukaleta mukwame we zina lya Simone yo sumpwa Pitrosi.
Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.
6 Wikele ni yo suha madalo yo sumpwa Simoni, uzo inzubo yakwe yina hembali yelizo lyewate.”
He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
7 Linu iñeloi liba kuwamba kwali ni chilyayenda, Kornele ni cha sumpa bahikana bobele benzubo yakwe, ne sole liba kulapela Ireeza mukati kamasole nabo babali kumusebeleza.
When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
8 Kornele ni cha bawambila zonse zintu ziba chitahali mi ni chabatuma kwa Jopa.
He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.
9 Linu mwizuba lichilila chibakuatumela inako ya busilela, sina hababena mumusipili wabo mi babena hafuhi ni muleneñi, Pitrosi ni chayenda kunzubo ya kwiulu kuka lapela.
The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
10 Mi haho ni chafwa inzala mi ni chasaka chimwi chintu cha kulya, kono bantu babakwete kwihika zilyo, ni cha hewa impono,
He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
11 linu na bona iwulu nili yaluka ni chibya chimi chi bakuswana sina ijira ikando li ba kusuuka hansi, ne liiza cha makona one.
He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
12 Mulili kubena mifuta yonse ya zinyolozi zina matende one ni zimwi zintu zi kokoba hansi, ni zizuni za mwiulu.
It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.
13 'Linu Inzwi ni lya wamba kwali. “Buuke, Pitrosi, wi haye mi ulye.”
Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”
14 Kono Pitrosi nati, “Kahena njo bulyo; Simwine; Chokuti kena ni bali chimwi chi sajolwele ni china ikwe.”
“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15 Kono inzwi ni lyeza kwali hape lwa bubeli: “Cha bajolozi Ireeza, kanji uchisumpi kusa jolola.”
The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
16 Izi zibatendahali totatwe; linu chibya hahobulyo ni chabozwa kwiwulu.
This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.
17 Linu Pitrosi haba kuchi lyangene kuamana ni impono ya baboni kuti italusanzi, mubone, bakwame babatumwa kwa Kornele ba bazimene kumulyango, habamana kubuza inzila yabo iya kunzubo. mi ni chibasumpa ni kubuza kapa Simoni, Ya ba kusumpwa hape kuti nji Pitrosi
While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.
18 Imi ni vahuweleza Simone, yava ku sumpwa Pitrosi, kwa ba kuikala.
They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.
19 Pitrosi ha ba sikwete kuhupula kuamana ni impono, Luhuho ni lwa wamba kwali, “Bone, bakwame botatwe bakwete bakulola.
As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
20 Uzimane mi uyende hansi mi uyende nabo. Kanji uhakanyehi ku yenda nabo, kakuti naba tuma,”
So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”
21 Cwale Pitrosi ni chayenda hansi ku bakwame imi ni chati, “Ime zunu ye mukwete kusaka. Chinzi ha mwakeza?”
So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
22 Ni chibati, “Mulauli wa masole wezina lya Kornele, mukwame yo lukite mi yo lapela Ireeza, imi uwambwa kunkanda ya Majuda, aba wambilwa kwi iñeloi lijolola lye Ireeza kutuminwa kwako kuti uyende kunzubo yakwe, ili kuti akateke kumulaezo uzwa kwako.”
“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
23 Linu Pitrosi chabamema kuti benjile mukati ze bekale naye. Izuba lichilila ni chazima ni kuyenda nabo, imi ni bamwi bakwake bazwa mwa Jopa ni chi bamusindikiza.
So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
24 Izuba lichilila ba bakezi kwa Sesarea. Kornile a babalindile, a basumpi hamwina bazalwa ni bo ni balikani bakwe.
The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
25 Kubezi kutendahala kuti linu Pitrosi chengila, Kornele ni cha musanganya imi abafukami hamatende akwe ku mulapela.
As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.
26 Kono Pitrosi chamutusa, nawamba, “Zime! name bulyo ni muntu.”
But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
27 Haho Pitrosi aba kuwamba naye, ni chayenda mukati mi ni chawana bantu bangi ne bakungene hamwina.
As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.
28 Ni chati kubali, “Inwe mubene mwizi kuti kahena mulao kuti muntu wa Majuda a li kopanye kapa apotela zumwi yozwelela kumushobo ungi. Kono Ireeza a banitondezi kuti kanji ni sumpi muntu zuhi no zuhi kuti kajolwele.
He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.
29 Nji bakalyo ha na keza kusena kukanana, ha ni batuminwa. Linu ni mibuza chinzi ha mwa ni tumina.”
So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”
30 Kornele ni chati, “Mazuba one abamani chehola iswana na yoyi, Ni bakulapela, chehola yabulobanwi munzubo yangu; mi ni chinabona, mukwame na zimene habusu bwangu muzizwato zibenya.
Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me
31 Ni chati, 'Kornele, intapelo yako iba zuweki kwe Ireeza, imi impo zako kubabotana zi ba zezisi Ireeza kuamana na we.
and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.
32 Linu, utume muntu kwa Jopa, aka kusumpile mukwame we zina lya Simone yo supwa Pitrosi.
Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’
33 Wikala munzubo ya yo suha madalo wezina lya Simone, wikala hafuhi ni mbali lyewate.
So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”
34 Linu Pitrosi che yalula kaholo kakwe mi ni chati, “Cheniti, ni lemuha kuti Ireeza kahindi zumwi che nketululo.
Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,
35 Chobulyo, Mu mushobo ni mushobo ni zumwi ni zumwi yo lumbeka ni kuchita inkezo zilukite u amuhelwa kwali.
but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.
36 Mwizi iñusa lya batumine kubantu ba Isilaele, haba lemusa ze iñusa lye inzwi iloto kuamana ni nkozo chakuya cha Jesu Kreste, ili iye Simwine wa bonse -
He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37 inwe mubene mwizi ikezo zi bachitahali, ziba tendahali munkanda yonse ya Judeya, kutangila mwa Galileya, kuzwa ku nkolobezo ya balemusi Joani;
You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:
38 inkezo ziamana ni Jesu wa Nazareta, ka mo Ireeza mwaba musingili oli cha Moya ujolola ni cha maata. Aba yendi kuamana ni kuchita bulotu ni kuhoza bonse ba bakakatizwe kwa diabulosi, kokuti Ireeza abena naye.
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
39 Tumpaki ya zintu zonseza ba tendi munkanda zonse za Majuda ni mwa Jerusalema - uzu Jesu iye ye babehai, kumuhanzika ha chikuni.
We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,
40 Uzu mukwame uzo Ireeza a bamubusi mwizuba la butatu ni kumuha kuti ezibekane,
God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—
41 isiñí kubantu bonse, kono ku mpaki ziba ketwa kumatangilo che Ireeza- iswe tubene, babalyi, ni kuñywa naye amana kubuka kubafwile.
not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
42 Aba tulaeli kukutaza ku bantu ni kupaka kuti uzu njiyena ybva ketwa kwe Ireeza ku va muatuli wabahala ni bafwile.
And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.
43 Njikwakwe kuti ba polofita bonse babe impaki, kokuti yense yo zumina kwali a tambule inswalelo ya zive che zina lya kwe.”
All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
44 Haho Pitrosi nasikwete kuwamba izi zintu, Luhuho Lujolola ni lwa wila ku zumwi ni zumwi kwabo baba kutekeleze kwi ñusa lyakwe.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.
45 Bantu baba kuwila ku chikwata chi wila kumupato ilichikwata chizumine- Bonse abo babakezi ni Pitrosi- babakomoketwe, mukuti impo ya Luhuho Lujola lbetilwa vulyo niku chisi chingi.
All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
46 Mukuti, babazuwi aba basiangi, ni bawamba cha mishobo ingi ni kulumbeka Ireeza.
For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,
47 Linu Pitrosi ni chetaba, “Kana kwinazumwi uwola kukanisa menzi kwabo bantu kuti kanji ba kolobezwa, aba bantu ba ba amuheli Luhuho Lunjola sina motubatendeli swe?”
“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”
48 Linu naba laela kuti ba kolobezwe mwi zina lya Jesu kreste. Ni ba mukumbila kwi kala nabo chamazuba mangizana.
So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
