Matendu 10
1 Kuweriti na muntu yumu aku Kaisariya wamshema Korineliwu, jemidali gwa shikosi shimu shawashishema, “Shikosi sha Italiya.”
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2 Kaweriti muntu muheri, yomberi pamuhera na kaya yakuwi yoseri yawamfatiti Mlungu, kaweriti kankutenda gavuwa kuwatanga wahushu wa Shiyawudi na kaweriti kankumluwa Mlungu nentu.
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 Paweriti saa tisa paliwala, kawoniti nakaka ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mlungu kingira mngati na kumgambira, “Korineliwu!”
At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying 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.
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 Vinu guwatumi wantu Yopa wakamshemi muntu yumu wamshema Simoni, kwa litawu lyamonga Peteru.
Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also 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 seaside.
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 had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
8 kamgambiziya goseri yagalawiriti, na kawatuma Yopa.
Having explained 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.
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 Kiwiti na njala nentu na kafiriti kuliya shiboga, shiboga pashiweriti shankutandilwa, kalota.
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11 Kawoniti mpindi zivungulwa na shintu handa lishuka likulu lisulusiwa pasi liweriti likolelwa wega zyakuwi msheshi.
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
12 Kuweriti na kila ntambu zya vigongolu, njoka na wambongu.
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
13 Kapikanira liziwu limgambira, “Peteru, gwimuki gulikituli, guliyi!”
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, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
15 Liziwu lilii lipikanika kayi limgambira, “Naguvishema vihumba viboga, Mlungu kavipunga!”
A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
16 Shitwatira ashi shitendikiti mala ntatu shakapanu lishuka lilii liwuziwa kunani kumpindi.
This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up 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,
Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
18 Na wakosiya, “handa kwana mhenga amu yawamshema Simoni Peteru.”
and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
19 Peteru kaweriti kankali kankulihola kuvimana kuusu maonu, na panu Rohu kamgambira, “kwana wantu wankukusakula
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
20 Gusuluki kanongola na pota naguwera na lyoga kugenda pamuhera nawomberi kwa mana ndo neni yanuwatumiti.”
But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
21 Su, Peteru kasuluka pasi, kawagambira wantu walii, “Neni ndo yamnsakula. Mwizira shishi?”
Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why 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 man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
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 he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out 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.
On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25 Peteru pakaweriti kankuyingira, Korineliwu kalawiti kunja kumwanka, kasuntamala makukama pawulongolu pakuwi.
When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down 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 myself am also a man.”
27 Peteru kingira mnumba, pawaweriti kala wankuyowera na Korineliwu, wantu wavuwa waliwoniti amu.
As he talked with him, he went in and found many 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.
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 shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
29 Na shipindi pagumtumiti kwa neni, niziti pota kulema, nuwakosiyani, su kwa shishi gumtuma kwa neni.”
Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send 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; and at the ninth hour, I prayed 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.
and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
32 Gumtumi muntu Yopa kakamshemi muntu yawamshema Simoni Peteru, kwa litawu lyamonga Peteru, kawukaya kwa Simoni mnyawa gwa lukuli, yakalikala pakwegera na litanda.’
Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
33 Hangu nukutumiriti ujumbi pota kushelewa, nagwenga gutenda viheri kwiza. Vinu, twenga twapawulongolu pa Mlungu, kupikinira kila shintu Mtuwa kankutugambira.”
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 God.”
34 Panu Peteru kanja kutakula, “Vinu nuvimana handa nakaka Mlungu kahera upendelewu.
Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
35 Muntu yoseri yakamguwira Mlungu na kutenda yagamfiriziya Mlungu hakaweri gwa Mlungu.
but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness 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.
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
37 Mwenga muvimana shitwatira shashilawiriti muisi yoseri ya Yudeya kwanjira Galilaya pa ubatizu ulii yakawubweriti Yohani.
you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which 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 with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for 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; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
40 Kumbiti Mlungu kamzyukisiyiti lishaka lya tatu, kamtenda kawoniki,
God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
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 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 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 this is he who is appointed by God as the 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 through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
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 on all those who heard the word.
45 Wayawudi walii yawasokiti pamuhera na Peteru, walikangashiti kuwona Mlungu ntambu yakawamiminiriti shirupa sha Rohu Mnanagala wantu yawaweriti ndiri wayawudi,
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 Gentiles.
46 mana yawapikaniriti pawayowera kwa likabira lihenga na pawamkwisa Mlungu. Peteru kalonga,
For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47 “Wantu awa wawamyanga Rohu Mnanagala gambira twenga ntambu yatumyangiti. Hashi, kwana yoseri yakaweza kuwalewelera kubatizwa kwa mashi?”
“Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
48 Su, kawagambira wabatizwi kwa litawu lya Yesu Kristu. Shakapanu wamluwa kalikali nawomberi kwa mashaka madidini.
He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
