Matendo ga Mitume 10
1 Pabile na mundu pulani katika mji wa Kaisaria, lina lyake akemelwa Kornelio, abile nkolo wa kikosi sa Baitalia.
Now there was a certain man at Cesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band: a pious man,
2 Abile ancha Nnongo na atimwabudu Nnongo na nyumba yake yoti; atitoa mbanje yanansima kwa Ayahudi na aloba kwa Nnongo masoba gote.
and one that feared God, with all his house; giving also much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
3 Muda wa saa tisa ya mutwekati, abweni maono malaika wa Nnongo kambakiya, “Kornelio!
He evidently saw in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius!
4 Kornelio kamlolekeya malaika na abile na hofu ngolo muno kabaya “Ayee nga namani nkolo?” Malaika kammakiya Maombi ni sadaka yako kwa maskini zimepanda nnani kati kumbukumbu mu'uwepo wa Nnongo.”
and he looking earnestly at him, and being afraid, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up as a memorial before God.
5 Nambeambe ubatume bandu yendya mji wa Yafa kunneta mundu yumo ywakemelwa Simoni ywabile ukemelwa Petro.
And now send men to Joppa, and fetch hither one Simon, whose sirname is Peter.
6 Atama na nchenga ngozi ywakemelwa Simoni ambaye nyumba yake ibile kando ya bahari.”
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side: he shall tell thee what thou must do.
7 Baada ya malaika ywabaya ni ywembe kuboka, Kornelio abakema batumishi ba mu'nyumba yaker abele, na askari ywatimwabudu Nnongo kati ya askari babile bamtumikya.
As soon as the angel, that spake to Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his domestic servants, and a devout soldier, that constantly attended him.
8 Kornelio kaabakiya gote yapangike na kabatuma Yafa.
And when he had related all to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Lisoba lya nyaibele saa sita babile mundela na babile papipi na mji, Petro kapanda nnani mu'dari loba.
On the morrow, while they were on their journey, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 Na abile na njala na apala kilebe cha kulya, lakini muda bandu bateleka chakulya, kabonekeya maono,
And he was very hungry, and desired something to eat: but while they were getting it ready, he fell into a trance; and saw heaven opened,
11 Abweni anga liyongoliwe na chombo chatiuluka na kilebe fulani kati ngobo kolo yatiuluka pae pa'nnema katika kona zote ncheche.
and some thing descending to him, like a great sheet tied at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Nkati yake pabile na aina yoti ya anyama babile na magolo ncheche na batambaa nnani ya nnema, na iyuni ba angani.
in which were all kinds of four-footed creatures, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 Lilobe lyabaya kwake, “amka, Petro chinja na ulyee.”
And there was a voice which said to him, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.
14 Lakini Petro kabaya “nga nyoo kwaa, Ngwana kwa sababu nalowa lyaa kwaa kilebe chochte kinajisi na kichapu.
But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing polluted or unclean.
15 Lakini lilobe lyaisa kwake kae kwa mara yana ibele “Chaakitakasa Nnongo kana ukikeme najisi wala kichafu.”
And the voice said to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, do not thou account polluted.
16 Ayee ipangika mara tatu, na chelo chombo chatitolwa kae angani.
This was done thrice, and the vessel was taken up again into heaven.
17 Palyo petro abile katika hali ya changanyikiwa nnani ya ago maono yatimaanisha namani, Linga bandu batumilwe na Kornelio bayemi nnongi ya
Now while Peter was doubting in himself what might be the meaning of the vision which he had seen, behold the men that were sent from Cornelius, having enquired for Simon's house, stood at the door;
18 nnango, kannaluya ndela ya kuyenda mu'nyumba. Bakema na kunnaluya mana Simoni ywakemelwa Petro atama palo.
and called, and asked, if Simon sirnamed Peter lodged there.
19 Muda woo Petro abile awasa nnani ya ago maono, Roho kabaya na ywembe, “Linga bandu atatu bakupala.
And as Peter was pondering upon the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold there are three men enquiring for thee:
20 Amka na uuluke pae na uyende nakwe. Uyogope kwaa yenda nabembe, kwa mana niatumile.”
arise therefore and go down, and go along with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.
21 Petro atiuluka pae kwao na baya “Nenga nga yolo mwamumpala. kwa mwanja namani muisile?”
Then Peter went down to the men that were sent to him from Cornelius, and said, Behold I am the person whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye are come?
22 Babaya, “Akida yumo lina lyake Kornelio, mundu wa haki na hupenda kumwabudu Nnongo, na bandu ubaya vema katika litaifa lyote lya Ayahudi, abakilwe na malaika ba Nnongo kututuma twenga ili kuyenda mu'nyumba yake, ili ayowe ujumbe boka kwako.”
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of a good character among all the nation of the Jews, hath been warned from God by an holy angel, to send for thee to his house, and to hear what thou shalt say.
23 Petro kabakaribisha jingya mu'nyumba na tama pamope nakwe. Bwamba ya lisoba lyanaibele atiyumuka kayenda pamope nakwe, na alongo achache boka Yafa batikengamana naywembe.
Then he invited them in, and entertained them that night. And on the morrow Peter set out with them; and some of the brethren from Joppa went with him.
24 Baikite Kaisalia lisoba lyanaibele. Na Kornelio abile atibalenda abakema pamope alongo bake na mbwiga bake ba karibu.
And the next day they came into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate friends.
25 Petro pajingii mu'nyumba, Kornelio atikumlaki na kuinama mpaka pae mu'magolo gake kwa kumweshimu.
And as Peter came in, Cornelius met him, and falling down at his feet did him reverence.
26 Lakini Petro kamwinua no baya “Yema; nenga namwene na mundu kae.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, I myself also am a man.
27 Palyo Petro atilongela naywembe, atiyenda mu'nyumba kaakuta bandu batikusanyika pamope.
And as he was conversing with him, he went in, and found many assembled together.
28 Kaamakiya, “Mwenga mwabene mutangite panga ibile kwaa saliya ya kiyahudi shirikiana na tembeleana na mundu ywabile kwaa wa taifa lee. Lakini Nnongo kanibonekeya nenga kuwa nipalika kwaa kumwita mundu yeyote najisi au mchafu.
And he said unto them, Ye know how unlawful it is for a man that is a Jew, to associate with or go to the house of one of another nation: but God hath shewn me, that I should not call any man polluted or unclean.
29 Nga nyoo niisile bila kubisha, panitumilwe kwa ajili yelo. Kwa eyo naanaluya kwa mwanja namani mwatumilwe kwa ajili yango?”
And therefore I came to you, when I was sent for, without demur. I ask therefore on what account ye sent for me.
30 Kornelio kabaya, “Masoba ncheche ganchogo bka leno, muda kati wolo nibile naloba muda wa saa tisa mutwekati mu'nyumba yango: Nibweni nnongi yango mundu ayemi abile na ngobo nyuepe,
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour, and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, when behold a man stood before me in bright raiment,
31 Kanibakiya “Kornelio maombi gako gatiyowanika na Nnongo, na sadaka zako kwa maskini zibile kati ukumbusho nnongi ya Nnongo.
and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are remembered before God.
32 Kwa eyo batume bandu Yafa na bankeme mundu yumo ywakemelwa Simoni aise kwako, ambaye ukemwa Petro, ambaye atama kwa ywachenga ngozi yumo ywakemelwa Simon ambae nyumba yake ibile pembeni ya libahari.
Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, who is sirnamed Peter, (he lodgeth in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side, ) who when he cometh, will talk with thee.
33 Zingatia mtari wolo, “Ni ywembe paaisa alowa baya nimwenga” ubile kwaa mu'maandiko ga kale.
Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast done well that thou art come. And now we are all here present before God, to hear all the things which God hath charged thee with to us.
34 Petro ayongoli nkano wake no baya, “Kweli, naaminiya kuwa Nnongo aweza kwaa kuwa na upendeleo.
Then Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 Badala yake, kila taifa mundu yeyote ywamwabudia na kupanga matendo ga haki anakubalika kwake.
but in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to Him.
36 Uutangite ujumbe ulioutoa kwa bandu ba Israeli. abile akitangaza habari njema ya amani pitya Yesu Kristo ywabile ni Ngwana wa bote.
According to the declaration which He made to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37 mwenga mwabene mutangite tukio lyalipangite, ambalo lipangite Yudea yote na litumbwile Galilaya, baada ya ubatizo ambao Yohana atiutangaza.
Ye know the report that was spread through all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached: concerning Jesus of Nazareth,
38 likowe lyalibile linamuhusu Yesu Kristo jinsi Nnongo atimtia mauta kwa Roho Mtakatifu na kwa nguvu. Apangite mema na kuponya bote bateswile na ibilisi, kwa mana Nnongo abile pamope naywembe.
how God anointed Him with the holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil: for God was with Him.
39 Twenga ni mashaidi ba makowe yote yaapangite katika nchi ya Uyahudi na katika Yerusalemu-ayoo ni Yesu ywamulaga na kuntundika mu'nkongo.
And we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the country of Judea, and in the city of Jerusalem: whom notwithstanding they put to death, hanging Him on a tree.
40 Ayoo mundu Nnongo atikumfufua lisoba lya tatu na kumpeya kuyowanika.
Him God raised up the third day, and gave Him to be seen openly; not to all the people,
41 Kwa bandu bote kwaa, lakini twenga twabene, twalya naywembe na nywaa niywembe baada ya kufufuka boka mu kiwo.
but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with Him, after He rose from the dead.
42 Atituagiza kuhubiri kwa bandu na kushuhudia kuwa ayoo nga Nnongo ywamchawile kuwa mwamuzi wa babile akoto na babile mu'kiwo.
And He commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is He who is appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the dead.
43 Katika ywembe manabii bote bashuhudie, ili panga kila ywaaminiye katika ywembe alowa pokya msamaha wa sambi pitya lina lyake.
To Him do all the prophets bear witness, that whosoever believeth on Him shall receive the forgiveness of their sins through his name.
44 Palyo Petro kayendelya longela nyoo, Roho Mtakatifu kaatweliya bote babile bauyowine ujumbe wake.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the holy Spirit fell upon all them that heard the word.
45 Bandu balo bahusika na likundi lya baaminiya babile atahiriwa-balo bote baisile na Petro-batishangala, kwa sababu ya karama ya Roho Mtakatifu ywatimwagwa kwa mataifa.
And those of the circumcision that were believers, who came with Peter, were astonished, that the gift of the holy Spirit was conferred upon the Gentiles also:
46 Kwa kuwa bayowine aba bamataifa balongela kwa lugha yenge na kumwabudu Nnongo. Petro kayangwa,
for they heard them speaking in divers languages, and glorifying God.
47 “Abile mundu yoyote ywaweza kuzuia maji ili bandu babatizwe kwaa. Bandu aba batimpokya Roho Mtakatifu kati twenga?”
Then said Peter, Can any one forbid water, that these persons should not be baptized, who have received the holy Spirit, as well as we?
48 Nga kabaamuru babatize kwa lina lya Yesu Kristo. Baadaye banobite atame nabo kwa masoba kadhaa.
And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. And they desired him to stay there some days.
