Itendi 10
1 Ku Kaishalia bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo bhashemwaga a Koloneli, bhakulungwa bha manjola bha shikundi shimo shashemwaga, “Shikundi sha Shiitalia.”
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2 Pubhaaliji bhandu bhanguja, bhenebho na likaja lyabho bhatendaga kwaajogopanga a Nnungu, bhatendaga kwaajangutilanga bhalaga bha Shiyaudi na bhatendaga juga Nnungu mobha gowe.
a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
3 Lyubha limo malanga ga ligulo bhashinkummona malaika nng'agamii alikwajiila nikwaalugulila, “A Koloneli!”
At about three in the afternoon, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius."
4 A Koloneli gubhankolondolesheye meyo akuno bhalijogopa, gubhammalanjile, “Shipali nndi Mmakulungwa?” Malaika jwa a Nnungu jula akwaabhalanjilaga, “A Nnungu bhapilikene kujuga kwenu na mbepei yenu kubhalaga wala bhakailibhala.
He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, "What is it, Lord?" He said to him, "Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
5 Bhai nnaino, mwaatumanje bhandu ku Yapa bhakaashemanje bhandu bhamo bhaashemwa a Shimoni, kwa lina lina, a Petili.
Now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon who is surnamed Peter.
6 Bhenebho mubhali nnyumba ja a Shimoni bhabhamba mapende, nyumba jabho pujili tome na bhaali.”
He lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside."
7 Malaika jwa a Nnungu abhelekete nabho akajabhuleje, a Koloneli gubhaashemilenje bhatumishi bhabhili bha nnyumba jabho naka linjola jumo aaliji mundu jwa kwaajogopa a Nnungu,
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
8 gubhaalugulilenje gowe gakoposhele, gubhaatumilenje ku Yapa.
Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Malabhi gakwe, bhandunji bhatatu bhala bhalinginji mmwanja, tome naika ku Yapa, a Petili gubhakwelile kunani kushipagala sha nyumba mui kujuga Nnungu.
Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
10 Gushaapoteshe shibhanga, nilokolila kulya. Akuno shalya shilitelekwa gubhaondweshe niagamila.
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11 Gubhabhakubhweni kunnungu kuugwishe na shindu mbuti nkwamba gwa nkulungwa ulituluywa ukamwilwe mmapepe gakwe ganansheshe.
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
12 Munkwambamo bhashinkupagwanga bhannyama bha mikumbi jowe, bhannyama bha makongono nsheshe na bhannyama bhaatambalanga pai na ijuni ya kunani.
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, crawling creatures and birds of the sky.
13 Gubhapilikene lilobhe lilikwalugulila, “A Petili nnjinushe nng'inje, ntaune!”
A voice came to him, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
14 A Petili gubhajangwile, “Ntape, Mmakulungwa, nne nganabhe paya shindu shoshowe sha nyata eu shangali sha mmbone.”
But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."
15 Lilobhe lila likupilikanikaga kabhili lilikwaabhalanjila, “Nnaisheme ya nyata indu ibhaikonjeleye a Nnungu!”
A voice came to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean."
16 Gene malobhego gakubhujilaga patatu, kungai nkwamba gula guukweshiywe kubhuja kunani kunnungu.
This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.
17 A Petili bhalikanganigwa ga malombolelo ga yene agamii ibhaibhwene ila, bhandunji bhatumilwenje na a Koloneli bhala, bhakajibhonanjeje nyumba ja a Shimoni, gubhapite jimangana pa nnango,
Now while Peter was very perplexed within himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, look, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate,
18 gubhabhushiyenje kwa utiya, “Bhuli, mwenemo bhapali bhajeni bhaashemwa a Shimoni Petili?”
and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.
19 A Petili bhalinkuganishiya ga agamii ila, Mbumu akwaalugulilaga, “Mpilikane! Bhashipagwanga bhandunji bhatatu bhanakunnoleyanga.
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look, three men seek you.
20 Shangu ntulushe na wala nnakole nnjishi kulongana nabhonji pabha naatumilenje nne.”
But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them."
21 Bhai a Petili gubhaatulushilenje bhandunji bhala gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Junkunnoleyangajo ni nne. Nng'ikenje kutenda nndi?”
And Peter went down to the men, and said, "Look, I am the one whom you seek. Why have you come?"
22 Gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhakulungwa bha manjola a Koloneli, bhandu bha ukonjelo, bhakwaajogopa a Nnungu na bhaakulupalika na bhayaudi bhowe bhashikutulajila. Bhashibhalanjilwa naka malaika kuti bhansheme nnjende kunngwabho bhapilikane malobhe gushimwaabhalanjile.”
They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say."
23 A Petili bhakwaashemelangaga nnyumba, nibha ujeni gwabho shene shilosho. Malabhi gakwe, a Petili na bhandunji bhala gubhatandwibhenje mwanja na bhandunji bhana bha ku Yapa gubhalongene nabhonji.
So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day he arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Lyubha lya bhili lyakwe gubhaikengenenje ku Kaishalia na kweneko a Koloneli bhali na ashaalongo ajabhonji na ashaambwiga ajabho bhubhaashemilenje bhatendaga kwaalindililanga.
On the next day he entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25 A Petili pubhajinjilaga nnyumba, a Koloneli gubhapite kwaposhela, nigubhaatindibhalile mpaka pai.
When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 Ikabheje a Petili gubhaajinwile, bhalikwalugulila, “Nnjime, pabha nne namundu nnjenu.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up. I myself am also a man."
27 A Petili gubhapundile bheleketa na a Koloneli, bhakajinjileje nnyumba gubhaimenenje bhandunji bhabhagwinji.
And as he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
28 A Petili gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mmanganya mmumanyinji kuti Nnyaudi jojowe jula ashilimbiywa na malajilo ga dini jakwe kukundikana eu kwaowelanga bhandunji bha ilambo ina. Ikabheje a Nnungu bhashineya ngunansheme jwa nyata.
He said to them, "You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.
29 Kwa lyene ligongolyo nkanjemanjeje nangabhika nnjishi kwiya. Bhai, ngunakummuyanga, shinjemelenje nndi?”
Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?"
30 A Koloneli gubhashite, “Mobha gatatu gapitilego gene malanga pegano, shaa tisha ja ligulo, natendagajuga Nnungu kukati jangu. Shangupe, gunimmweni mundu anyimile mmujo jangu awete nngubho yamelemeta,
Cornelius said, "Four days ago until this hour, at three in the afternoon, I was praying in my house, and look, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 gwashite, ‘A Koloneli! Kujuga kwenu na mbepei inkwapanganga bhalaga iposhelwe kwa a Nnungu.
and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
32 Muntume mundu ku Yapa akaasheme bhandu bhamo bhashemwa Shimoni, kwa lina lina, a Petili, mubhali nnyumba ja a Shimoni bhabhamba mapende tome na bhaali.’
Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'
33 Shangupe nashinkutumila ntenga, na mwe nshitenda shambone kwiya. Nnaino putuli pano mmujo ja a Nnungu, tupilikanishiye shoshowe shibhantumile Bhakulungwa ntubhalanjilesho.”
Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by the Lord."
34 Penepo a Petili gubhatandwibhe kubheleketa, “Nnaino nimumanyi kuti a Nnungu bhangali luagu.
And Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
35 Ikabhe mundu jojowe jwa kila shilambo akwaajogopa a Nnungu nitenda ya mmbone, bhanakumposhela.
but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36 Gweguno ni ntenga gubhapeleshe a Nnungu kubhandu bha ku Ishilaeli, bhalilunguya ngani ja mmbone ja ulele ja a Yeshu Kilishitu bhali Bhakulungwa bha bhowe.
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
37 Mmanganyanji nshimanyinji shikoposhele nshilambo sha Yudea, kutandubhila ku Galilaya ukapiteje ubhatisho gubhalungwiye a Yowana.
that spoken word you yourselves know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Kabhili mmumanyinji ga a Nnungu shibhashite kwaagula a Yeshu bha ku Nashaleti kwa kwaapa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo na mashili. Na a Yeshu bhatendaga kwenda mmbali yowe bhalitenda ya mmbone na lamya bhowe bhabhonelwangaga naka Lishetani, pabha a Nnungu pubhaaliji pamo na bhenebho.”
even 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 “Uwe ni tubhaakong'ondela bha gowe gubhatendile nshilambo sha Bhayaudi na ku Yelushalemu. Gubhaabhulegenje kwa kwaakomela munshalabha.
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also killed by hanging on a tree.
40 Ikabheje lyubha lya tatu a Nnungu gubhaayushiye na gubhailangwiye,
God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,
41 nngabha kubhandu bhowe, ikabhe kubhene bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu bhabhanganje bhaakong'ondela bhabho, yani uwe twaalile na nng'wa nabho bhakayusheje kukopoka kubhawilenje.
not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 Bhashikutulajila kulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone kubhandu bhowe na kukong'ondela kuti bhalabho ni bhaagwilwe na a Nnungu kubha bhaukumula bha bhakotonji na bhawilenje.
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is the one who is appointed by God as the judge of the living and the dead.
43 Ashinkulondola bhowe bha a Nnungu bhatashiyenje ga bhenebho kuti, kila mundu shabhakulupalile shaleshelelwe yambi yakwe yowe kwa lina lyabho.”
All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins."
44 A Petili bhakanabhe pumula kubheleketa, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo gwabhatulushilenje bhowe bhapilikanishiyangaga gene malobhego.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
45 Bhaakulupalilanga bha Shiyaudi bhalongenenje na a Petili kukopoka ku Yapa gubhakanganigwenje, pabha a Nnungu bhashikwaagumbayanga upo ya Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi.
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the non-Jewish people.
46 Pabha bhashinkwaapilikananga bhalibheleketanga luga inape bhalikwaakuyanga a Nnungu. Penepo a Petili gubhashite,
For they heard them speaking in other tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47 “Abha bhandunjibha bhamposhelenje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo malinga shitumposhele uwe. Bhuli, apali jojowe shakombole kwaibhililanga bhanabhatishwanje mmashi?”
"Can anyone withhold the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?"
48 Bhai, gubhaamulishe bhabhatishwanje kwa lina lya a Yeshu Kilishitu. Gubhaajujilenje a Petili bhatame nabhonji mobha gashoko.
He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
