Matendu 10
1 Kuweriti na muntu yumu aku Kaisariya wamshema Korineliwu, jemidali gwa shikosi shimu shawashishema, “Shikosi sha Italiya.”
Now there was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort.
2 Kaweriti muntu muheri, yomberi pamuhera na kaya yakuwi yoseri yawamfatiti Mlungu, kaweriti kankutenda gavuwa kuwatanga wahushu wa Shiyawudi na kaweriti kankumluwa Mlungu nentu.
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 Paweriti saa tisa paliwala, kawoniti nakaka ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mlungu kingira mngati na kumgambira, “Korineliwu!”
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 “Kamkwenjulira masu lahoka ayu kwa lyoga, kamgambira, Kwana shishi, mtuwa?” Lihoka ayu kamgambira, “Mlungu kaziyanga sala na vijungu vyaku kwa wahushu wala hapeni kaliwaluwi.
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 Vinu guwatumi wantu Yopa wakamshemi muntu yumu wamshema Simoni, kwa litawu lyamonga Peteru.
Now send men to Joppa and have them bring back Simon, who is called Peter.
6 Yomberi muhenga munumba mwa mnyawa gwa lukuli wamshema Simoni, yakalikala pakwegera na litanda.”
He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea.”
7 Pakatakuliti aga, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi ulii kawuka, Korineliwu kawashemiti wandundami wawili wa numba na yumu gwa wanjagila wakuwi kaweriti kamguwira Mlungu,
When the angel who spoke to him went away, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
8 kamgambiziya goseri yagalawiriti, na kawatuma Yopa.
After explaining everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Shirawu yakuwi, wantu watatu pawaweriti wankali mumwanja na pakwegera kwingira Yopa, Peteru kakweniti pampindi pa shitwiku sha numba iweriti saa sita paliwala su kamluwa Mlungu.
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 Kiwiti na njala nentu na kafiriti kuliya shiboga, shiboga pashiweriti shankutandilwa, kalota.
He became hungry and wanted to eat, and as they were preparing a meal, a trance fell upon him.
11 Kawoniti mpindi zivungulwa na shintu handa lishuka likulu lisulusiwa pasi liweriti likolelwa wega zyakuwi msheshi.
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 Kuweriti na kila ntambu zya vigongolu, njoka na wambongu.
In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, as well as wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
13 Kapikanira liziwu limgambira, “Peteru, gwimuki gulikituli, guliyi!”
Then a voice came to him: “Rise, Peter, kill and eat.”
14 Kumbiti Peteru kankula, “ndala, Mtuwa, neni ndawalira ndiri shoseri shana uhumba na shifa ndiri kuliya”
But Peter said, “Surely not, Lord! For I have never eaten anything that is defiled or unclean.”
15 Liziwu lilii lipikanika kayi limgambira, “Naguvishema vihumba viboga, Mlungu kavipunga!”
The voice came to him again a second time: “Do not regard as defiled what God has made clean.”
16 Shitwatira ashi shitendikiti mala ntatu shakapanu lishuka lilii liwuziwa kunani kumpindi.
This happened three times, and then the object was taken up again into heaven.
17 Peteru pakaweriti kankulikangasha kuusu mana ya maonu aga yagaweriti kagawona, wantu walii wawatumitwi na Korineliwu, pawayambuliti kala njira ya kugenda kunumba ya Simoni, wasokiti pamlyangu gwa libambaza,
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 wakosiya, “handa kwana mhenga amu yawamshema Simoni Peteru.”
They called out and asked if Simon, who was called Peter, was staying there.
19 Peteru kaweriti kankali kankulihola kuvimana kuusu maonu, na panu Rohu kamgambira, “kwana wantu wankukusakula
As Peter continued pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, some men are looking for yoʋ.
20 Gusuluki kanongola na pota naguwera na lyoga kugenda pamuhera nawomberi kwa mana ndo neni yanuwatumiti.”
Now get up, go downstairs, and go with them without any misgivings, for I have sent them.”
21 Su, Peteru kasuluka pasi, kawagambira wantu walii, “Neni ndo yamnsakula. Mwizira shishi?”
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 Womberi wamwankula, “Mnjagira Korineliwu mweni ndo muntu mheri, mguwira Mlungu na kagohereka pawulongolu pa Wayawudi woseri, katutuma. Kagambirwa na ntumintumi gwa kumpindi mnanagala kakushemera ukaya kwakuwi su kapikaniri shisoweru shaguweri nashu sha kutakula.”
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 Peteru kawashemera mnumba, kawapanana pakugonja pashiru palii. Shirawu yakuwi, Peteru kanja mwanja pamuhera nawomberi, na wamonga wa walongu wa Yopa aku walikoliti nayomberi.
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 Lishaka lyalifatiti wayingiriti Kaisariya na aku Korineliwu kaweriti kankuwahepera pamuhera na walongu na waganja yakaweriti kawashemera.
The following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
25 Peteru pakaweriti kankuyingira, Korineliwu kalawiti kunja kumwanka, kasuntamala makukama pawulongolu pakuwi.
When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 Kumbiti Peteru kamgolosiya, kamgabira, “Gugoloki, kwa mana neni ndo muntu hera.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am just a man.”
27 Peteru kingira mnumba, pawaweriti kala wankuyowera na Korineliwu, wantu wavuwa waliwoniti amu.
As Peter talked with him, he went in and found many people gathered together.
28 Peteru kawagambira, “Mwenga muvimana handa Myawudi yoseri kabelwa na malagaliru gakuwi ga dini kuwera pamuhera na wantu wa maisi gamonga. Kumbiti Mlungu kang'ambira hapeni numholeri muntu yoseri kiwa mhumba awu kadoda.
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 shipindi pagumtumiti kwa neni, niziti pota kulema, nuwakosiyani, su kwa shishi gumtuma kwa neni.”
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 Korineliwu kalonga, “Mashaka matatu gapititi saa gambira ayi, saa tisa paliwala, neni panweriti nankumluwa Mlungu mnumba mwangu. Vumu, muntu yakaweriti kavala nguwu zing'ereng'eta kagolokiti kulongolu kwa neni,
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 Katakula, ‘Korineliwu! Mlungu kapikanira kuluwa kwaku na tambuku yaku kwa wahushu.
The man said, ‘Cornelius, yoʋr prayer has been heard, and yoʋr charitable acts have been remembered before God.
32 Gumtumi muntu Yopa kakamshemi muntu yawamshema Simoni Peteru, kwa litawu lyamonga Peteru, kawukaya kwa Simoni mnyawa gwa lukuli, yakalikala pakwegera na litanda.’
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 Hangu nukutumiriti ujumbi pota kushelewa, nagwenga gutenda viheri kwiza. Vinu, twenga twapawulongolu pa Mlungu, kupikinira kila shintu Mtuwa kankutugambira.”
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 Panu Peteru kanja kutakula, “Vinu nuvimana handa nakaka Mlungu kahera upendelewu.
Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “Now I truly understand that God shows no partiality,
35 Muntu yoseri yakamguwira Mlungu na kutenda yagamfiriziya Mlungu hakaweri gwa Mlungu.
but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
36 Awu ndo ujumbi ulii Mlungu yakawujegiti kwa wantu wa Israeli, pakabwera Shisoweru Shiwagira shashijega ponga kwa njira ya Yesu Kristu, yomberi ndo Mtuwa gwa woseri.
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 Mwenga muvimana shitwatira shashilawiriti muisi yoseri ya Yudeya kwanjira Galilaya pa ubatizu ulii yakawubweriti Yohani.
the message that spread throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John preached:
38 Muvimana Yesu gwa Nazareti na ntambu yakamsyaguliti kwa kummiminira Rohu Mnanagala na likakala. Mlungu kaweriti pamuhera nayomberi, yomberi kagenditi aku na aku pakatenda maheri na kuwaponiziya woseri yawaweriti wayingilwa na Mkondola, toziya Mlungu kaweriti na yomberi.
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 “Twenga ndo wapitawu wa vitwatira vyoseri vyakatenditi muisi ya Wayawudi na Muyerusalemu. Wamlagiti mlupingika.
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 Kumbiti Mlungu kamzyukisiyiti lishaka lya tatu, kamtenda kawoniki,
but God raised him up on the third day and allowed him to be seen,
41 wamwoniti wantu woseri ndiri, ira kwa walii Mlungu yakawasyaguliti kala waweri makapitawu wakuwi, yani twenga yatuliyiti na kulanda pamuhera nayomberi pakazyuka kala kulawa kwawahowiti.
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 Katugambiriti tubweri Visoweru viwagira kwa wantu woseri na kuwona handa yomberi ndo yakasyaguritwi na Mlungu kaweri Mtoza gwa yawawera wakomu na wahowiti.
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 Wambuyi woseri wayoweriti kuusu yomberi handa kila muntu yakamjimira hakamlekiziyi vidoda vyakuwi vyoseri kwa litawu lyakuwi.”
All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives remission of sins through his name.”
44 Shipindi Peteru pakaweriti kangali kankutakula visoweru avi, Rohu Mnanagala kawasulukiriti woseri wawaweriti wankupikanira ujumbi awu.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the message.
45 Wayawudi walii yawasokiti pamuhera na Peteru, walikangashiti kuwona Mlungu ntambu yakawamiminiriti shirupa sha Rohu Mnanagala wantu yawaweriti ndiri wayawudi,
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 mana yawapikaniriti pawayowera kwa likabira lihenga na pawamkwisa Mlungu. Peteru kalonga,
For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter responded,
47 “Wantu awa wawamyanga Rohu Mnanagala gambira twenga ntambu yatumyangiti. Hashi, kwana yoseri yakaweza kuwalewelera kubatizwa kwa mashi?”
“Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
48 Su, kawagambira wabatizwi kwa litawu lya Yesu Kristu. Shakapanu wamluwa kalikali nawomberi kwa mashaka madidini.
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.
