Imisebenzi 10
1 Kwakukhona eKesariya indoda ethile ngebizo nguKorneliyu, induna yekhulu yebutho elithiwa ngeleIthaliya,
Kwajhele ni munu fulani mu mji ghwa Kaisaria, lihina lya muene Kornelio, ajhele mbaha ghwa kikosi kya kiitalia.
2 eqotho lemesabayo uNkulunkulu kanye lendlu yayo yonke, eyenza imisebenzi yomusa eminengi ebantwini, ikhuleka njalonjalo kuNkulunkulu;
Ajhe mchamungu na amwabuduili K'yara ni nyumba jha muene jhioha ahomisi hela nyingi kwa bhayahudi na asokili kwa K'yara magono ghoha.
3 yabona embonweni ngokucacileyo, ngokungaba lihola lesificamunwemunye losuku, ingilosi kaNkulunkulu ingena kuyo, yasisithi kuyo: Korneliyu!
Muda ghwa saa tisa gha pamusi, abhwene maono Malaika ghwa K'yara ihida kwa muene. Malaika akan'jobhela
4 Waseyijolozela efikelwa yikwesaba wathi: Kuyini, Nkosi? Yasisithi kuye: Imikhuleko yakho lezipho zakho kubayanga kwenyuke kwaba yisikhumbuzo phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
“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”.
5 Khathesi-ke thuma amadoda eJopha, ubize uSimoni othiwa futhi nguPetro;
Henu laghisiajhi bhanu kulota mji ghwa Yafa kundeta munu mmonga jhaikutibhwa Simoni ambaye pia ikutibhwa Petro.
6 yena ungenisile kuSimoni othile umtshuki wezikhumba, ondlu yakhe iselwandle; yena uzakutshela ofanele ukwenze.
Itamana ni n'tengenesiajhi ghwa ngozi jhaikutibhwa Simoni ambajhe nyumba jha muene ijhele kando jha bahari.”
7 Kwathi ingilosi ebikhuluma loKorneliyu isihambile, wabiza ababili kwabendlu yakhe, lowebutho oqotho kulabo ababemlinda,
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.
8 njalo eselandisile konke kubo, wabathuma eJopha.
Kornelio akabhajobhela ghoha ghaghatokili ni kubhalaghisya Yafa.
9 Njalo kusisa bona besahamba sebesondela emzini, uPetro wenyukela phezu kophahla lwendlu ukuyakhuleka, okungaba lihola lesithupha;
Ligono lyalyafwatili muda ghwa saa sita bho bhajhe munjela na bhikaribila ku mjini Petro akakuela panani pa darini kus'oka.
10 waselamba kakhulu, wafuna ukudla; kwathi bona besamlungisela, ukuhlehliswa kwengqondo kwamehlela,
Na kabhele ajhele ni njala naalondeghe kulya khenu, lakini wakati bhanu bhiteleka kyakulya, akalasibhwa maono.
11 wasebona izulu livulekile, lesitsha esithile sehlela kuye, njengelembu elikhulu, libotshwe ngamasondo amane, lisehliselwa emhlabeni;
Akabhona anga lifunguiki ni khenu kiselela ni khenu fulani kama nghobho mbhaha jhiselela pasi pa ardhi mu kona syake syoha nne.
12 okwakukhona kulo izidalwa zonke ezilenyawo ezine zomhlaba lezeganga lezihuquzelayo lenyoni zezulu.
Mugati mwake kwajhele ni aina syoha sya bhanyama bhenye magolo mancheche na bhabhiboya panani pa ardhi, ni fidege fya anga.
13 Kwasekufika ilizwi kuye lathi: Sukuma, Petro, hlaba udle.
Kabhele sauti ikajobha kwa muene “Jhumukayi, Petro chinja ni bhola”.
14 Kodwa uPetro wathi: Hatshi bo, Nkosi; ngoba kangizake ngidle loba yini engahlambulukanga kumbe engcolileyo.
Lakini Petro akajobha “Naha lepi, Bwana kwandabha nibhwayilepi kulya khenu kyokyoha najisi na kichafu.
15 Ilizwi laphinda ngokwesibili kuye: Izinto uNkulunkulu azihlambululileyo, wena ungatsho ukuthi kazihlambulukanga.
Lakini sauti ikahida kwa muene kabhele kabhele mara jhe pili “Kyaakitakasili Mungu ghilondeka lepi kukikuta najisi wala kichafu”.
16 Njalo lokhu kwenzeka kwaze kwaba kathathu; lesitsha sabuya saphakanyiselwa ezulwini.
Ejhe jhatokili mara tatu ni khenu kela kikajha kitolibhu kabhele angani.
17 Kwathi uPetro esadidekile ngaphakathi kwakhe ukuthi ngabe uyini umbono awubonileyo, njalo khangela, amadoda ayethunywe evela kuKorneliyu, esebuzile indlu kaSimoni, ema esangweni,
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.
18 esememezile abuza ukuthi uSimoni, othiwa futhi nguPetro, ungenisile lapha yini.
Na bhakakuta ni kukotelesya kama Simoni ambajhe pia akutibhu Petro kama atameghe pala.
19 Kwathi uPetro esanakana ngombono, uMoya wathi kuye: Khangela, amadoda amathathu ayakudinga.
Wakati obhu Petr ibhwasya juu jha maono aghu, Roho akajobha nakhu, “Langayi bhanu bhadatu bhikulonda.
20 Ngakho sukuma wehle, uhambe lawo, ungathandabuzi; ngoba yimi engiwathumileyo.
Jhumukayi na uselelayi pasi na ulotayi nabhu. Usitili kulota nabhu, kwa ndabha nibhalaghisi.”
21 UPetro wasesehlela emadodeni avela kuKorneliyu ayethunywe kuye, wathi: Khangelani, yimi elimdingayo; yisizatho bani elize ngaso?
Petro akaselela pasi kwa bhene ni kujobha, “Nene ndo jhola jha mukandonda kwandajha kiki muhidili?”
22 Basebesithi: UKorneliyu induna yekhulu, indoda elungileyo lemesabayo uNkulunkulu, efakazelwa yisizwe sonke samaJuda, walayelwa nguNkulunkulu ngengilosi engcwele ukuthi akubizele endlini yakhe, njalo ezwe amazwi kuwe.
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.”
23 Ngakho esebabizele phakathi wabangenisa. Njalo kusisa uPetro waphuma wahamba labo, labanye babazalwane ababeseJopha bahamba laye.
Petro akabhakaribisya kujhingila mugati ni kutama pamonga ni muene, Lukhela bhakajhumuka bhakalota pamonga ni muene, ni bhalongomunu bhadebe kuhomela Yafa bhakalongosana naku.
24 Ngosuku olulandelayo basebengena eKesariya. LoKorneliyu wayebalindele, esebizele ndawonye izihlobo zakhe labangane abazwana laye.
Ligono lyalyafwatili bhahidili Kaisaria. Ni Kornelio akajha akabhalendela; na abhakutili ni bhalongo munu ni bharafiki zake bha karibu.
25 Kwathi sekwenzakele ukuthi uPetro angene, uKorneliyu wamhlangabeza, ewela enyaweni zakhe, wamkhonza.
Wakati Petro ijhingila mugati Kornelio akamlaki ni kujhinama hadi pais mu magolo gha muene kwa kun'heshimu.
26 Kodwa uPetro emphakamisa, wathi: Sukuma; lami ngokwami ngingumuntu.
Lakini Petro an'jhinuili ni kujobha “Jhemayi; ne mwene ne mwanadamu.”
27 Njalo esakhuluma layo wangena, wafica abanengi bebuthene,
Wakati Petro ilongela naku, alotili mgati abhwene bhanu bhabhonganiki pamonga.
28 wasesithi kubo: Lina liyazi ukuthi kakuvunyelwa emuntwini ongumJuda ukuhlangana kumbe ukuya emuntwini wesinye isizwe; kodwa uNkulunkulu ungitshengisile ukuthi ngingabizi muntu ngokuthi kahlambulukanga kumbe ungcolile;
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.
29 ngakho-ke ngizile ngingaphikisanga nxa ngibizwa. Ngakho ngiyabuza, ukuthi ungibizele sizatho bani?
Na ndo maana nihidili bila kubishila, bhonilaghisibhu kwa ndabha jha ejhu. Hene nibhakotayi kwandayakiki mwalaghisibhu kwandabha jha nene.”
30 UKorneliyu wasesithi: Ngensuku ezine ezidlulileyo kuze kube yilelihola ngangizila ukudla, ngehola lesificamunwemunye ngangikhuleka endlini yami; njalo khangela, indoda yema phambi kwami yembethe isembatho esikhazimulayo,
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,
31 yasisithi: Korneliyu, umkhuleko wakho uzwakele, lemisebenzi yakho yomusa ikhunjulwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Akan'jobhela “Kornelio maombi gha jhobhi ghap'elibhu ni K'yara, ni zawadi sya jhobhi kwa maskini sijhele sya ukumbusho mbele sya K'yara.
32 Ngakho thumela eJopha, ubusubiza uSimoni othiwa futhi nguPetro; yena ungenisile endlini kaSimoni umtshuki wezikhumba ngaselwandle; ozakuthi angabuya akutshele.
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.
33 Ngakho ngahle ngathumela kuwe; njalo wena wenze kuhle ukuthi ufike. Ngakho khathesi sesikhona sonke phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuze sizwe konke okulayelwe nguNkulunkulu.
Zingatilayi: N'sitari obho, “Nu muene pa ibeta kuhida ibeta kujobha namu,” bhujhelepi mu aandiku gha muandi.
34 Kwathi uPetro evula umlomo, wathi: Ngeqiniso ngiyaqedisisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu kayisuye umkhangeli wobuso bomuntu;
Ndipo Petro akajhajhula ndomo ghwa muene ni kujobha “Kweli, nikiera K'yara ibhwesya lepi kujha ni upendeleo.
35 kodwa kuso sonke isizwe yena omesabayo lowenza ukulunga, uyemukeleka kuye.
Badala jhike khila taifa munu jhejhioha jha ikamwabudu ni kubhomba matendo gha haki ijhedekelibhwa kwa muene.
36 Ilizwi alithumela kubantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngevangeli etshumayela ukuthula ngoJesu Kristu (yena uyiNkosi yabo bonke).
Umanyi ujumbe bhwa abhupisi kwa bhana bha Israeli, bho itangasya habari sinofu sya amani kup'etela Yesu Kristu ambajhe ni Bwana ghwa bhoha-
37 Lina liyalazi ilizwi elamenyezelwa eJudiya yonke, kusukela eGalili, emva kobhabhathizo uJohane alutshumayelayo;
Mwejhomo mumanyili litukio lya litokili, ambalyo litokili Yudea jhioha na lyajhandili Galilaya, baada jha ubatizo ambabho Yohana alangasili.
38 uJesu weNazaretha, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamgcoba njani ngoMoya oNgcwele langamandla, owabhoda esenza okulungileyo njalo esilisa bonke labo abacindezelwe ngudiyabhola, ngoba uNkulunkulu wayelaye.
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.
39 Lathi singabafakazi bezinto zonke azenzayo elizweni lamaJuda leJerusalema; abambulala bamphanyeka esihlahleni.
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.
40 Yena uNkulunkulu wamvusa ngosuku lwesithathu, wasemnika ukuze abonakale,
Munu ojho K'yara amfufuili ligono lya tatu ni kumbeka kumanyikana,
41 kungeyisikho kubo bonke abantu, kodwa kubafakazi ababekhethwe ngaphambili nguNkulunkulu, kithi, esadla sanatha kanye laye emva kokuvuka kwakhe kwabafileyo.
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.
42 Wasesilaya ukuthi sitshumayele ebantwini, sifakaze ukuthi nguye omiswe nguNkulunkulu ukuba nguMehluli wabaphilayo labafileyo.
Atulaghisi kuhubiri kwa bhanu ni kushuhudila kujha mwamuzi ghwa bhabhajhe hai ni bhoha bhabhafuili.
43 Ngaye bonke abaprofethi bafakaza, ukuthi wonke okholwa kuye uzakwemukela uthethelelo lwezono ngebizo lakhe.
Kwa muene manabii bhoha bhashuhudilayi, ili kwamba khila jha iamini kwa muene apokelayi msamaha ghwa dhambi kup'etela lihina lya muene.”
44 Kwathi uPetro esakhuluma lawomazwi, uMoya oyiNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo bonke abalizwayo ilizwi.
Wakati Petro ijhendelela kujobha agha, Roho mtakatifu akabhajaza bhoha bhabhajhele bhip'elekesya ujumbe bhwa muene.
45 Labokusoka abakholwayo basanganiseka, bonke ababefike loPetro, ukuthi isipho sikaMoya oNgcwele sathululelwa laphezu kwabezizwe;
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.
46 ngoba babezwa bekhuluma ngendimi, bekhulisa uNkulunkulu. Khona uPetro waphendula wathi:
Kwa kujha bhap'eliki abha bhamataifa bhilongela kwa lugha s'enge ni kumwabudu K'yara. Petro ajibili,
47 Ukhona yini ongala lamanzi, ukuthi laba bangabhabhathizwa, abemukele uMoya oyiNgcwele lanjengathi?
“Ajhe munu jhejhioha jhaibhwesya kuzuila masi ili bhanu bhasibatisibhu, bhanu abha bhampokili Roho mtakatifu kama tete?”
48 Waselaya ukuthi babhabhathizwe ebizweni leNkosi. Basebemcela ukuthi ahlale insuku ezithile.
Ndipo akabhaamuru bhabatisibhwayi kwa lihina lya Yesu Kristu. Baadaye bhakan'soka atama ni bhene kwa magono kadhaa.
