Acts 10
1 Now a certain man was in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the band called Italian,
Nʼoge ahụ, o nwere otu nwoke bi na Sizaria, aha ya bụ Kọnelịọs. O bụ ọchịagha na-elekọta narị ndị agha si na mpaghara Itali.
2 a devout man, and fearing God with all his house, and doing many charities for the people, and beseeching God always.
Nwoke a na ezinaụlọ ya bụ ndị na-asọpụrụ ma na-atụkwa egwu Chineke. Ọ na-enyere ndị ogbenye aka na-ekpekwara Chineke mgbe niile.
3 He saw plainly in a vision about the ninth hour of the day, an agent of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
Otu ụbọchị, nʼihe dịka elekere atọ nke ehihie, ọ hụrụ ọhụ ebe otu mmụọ ozi nke Chineke bịakwutere ya sị ya, “Kọnelịọs!”
4 And after gazing at him, and having become afraid, he said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy charities have come up for a memorial before God.
Kọnelịọs lekwasịrị ya anya nʼegwu jụọ ya sị, “Onyenwe m, ọ bụ gịnị?” Ọ sịrị ya, “Ekpere gị na onyinye gị nye ndị ogbenye e rutela dịka ihe ncheta nʼihu Chineke.
5 And now send men to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
Ugbu a, zie ndị ikom ka ha gaa nʼobodo Jopa kpọta otu onye aha ya bụ Saimọn, onye a na-akpọkwa Pita.
6 This man lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is beside the seaside.
Ọ bụ ọbịa nʼụlọ otu nwoke a na-akpọ Saimọn, onye na-edozi akpụkpọ anụ. Onye ụlọ ya dị nʼakụkụ osimiri.”
7 And when the agent speaking to Cornelius departed, having called two of his housemen, and a devout soldier of those who personally served him,
Mgbe mmụọ ozi ahụ gwara ya okwu pụrụ, ọ kpọrọ ndị ohu ya abụọ na otu nʼime ndị agha na-eche ya nche nke na-atụkwa egwu Chineke.
8 and after reporting all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Mgbe ọ kọchara ha ihe niile, o zigara ha Jopa.
9 Now on the morrow, while those men were traveling and approaching the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.
Nʼechi ya, mgbe ha nọ nso nʼebe ahụ, nʼihe dịka elekere iri na abụọ nke ehihie, Pita rigooro nʼelu ụlọ ahụ ikpe ekpere.
10 And he became very hungry and wanted to eat. But while those men prepared, a trance fell upon him.
Agụụ bidoro ịgụ ya, ọ chọọ ihe ọ ga-eri. Ma mgbe a na-akwado nri, ọ hụrụ ọhụ.
11 And he sees heaven opened, and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet bound at four corners, and being lowered to the earth,
Ọ hụrụ ka eluigwe meghere, hụkwa ihe dịka akwa ọcha dị obosara nke e sitere nʼakụkụ anọ ya na-ewedata nʼala.
12 in which were all the four-footed things of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky.
Ihe dị nʼime ya: bụ ụmụ anụmanụ dị iche iche, ndị nwere ụkwụ anọ, ma anụ ndị na-akpụ akpụ nʼala na ụmụ nnụnụ nke igwe.
13 And a voice came to him, After rising, Peter, kill and eat.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ nụrụ olu na-asị, “Pita bilie, gbuo ma riekwa.”
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord, because I have never eaten anything profane or unclean.
Ma Pita sịrị, “Mba, Onyenwe m. Ọ dịbeghị mgbe m riri ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ maọbụ nke na-adịghị ọcha.”
15 And a voice again for a second time, What God has cleansed, thou shall not make profane.
Olu ahụ gwara ya nke ugboro abụọ, “Akpọla ihe ọbụla ihe rụrụ arụ bụ nke Chineke mere ka ọ dị ọcha.”
16 And this happened thrice, and again the vessel was taken up into heaven.
Ihe a mere ugboro atọ, ngwangwa, e weghachikwara ya nʼeluigwe.
17 Now while Peter was bewildered in himself whatever the vision which he saw might be, that lo, the men who were sent from Cornelius, having inquired the house of Simon, stood at the gate.
Mgbe Pita nọ na-atule ihe ọhụ ahụ pụtara bụ nke gbakwara ya gharịị, lee, ndị ikom ahụ Kọnelịọs zipụrụ abịarutela kwụsị nʼọnụ ụzọ, na-ajụ ebe ụlọ Saimọn dị.
18 And after calling out they asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodges here.
Ha kpọrọ oku ịjụ ma Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Pita ọ nọ nʼụlọ ahụ.
19 And while Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men seek thee.
Ka Pita nọrịị na-atụgharị uche nʼihe ọhụ ahụ pụtara, Mmụọ Nsọ gwara ya, “Lee, mmadụ atọ guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ugbu a. Ha chọkwara ịhụ gị.
20 But after rising, go down, and go with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them.
Bilie, rịda jekwuru ha ngwangwa, enwela obi abụọ ị soro ha gawa, nʼihi na ọ bụ m zitere ha.”
21 And having gone down to the men, Peter said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek. What is the cause for which ye are here?
Pita jekwuru ndị ikom ahụ, sị, “Ọ bụ m bụ onye unu na-achọ, gịnị ka unu na-achọrọ m?”
22 And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and being well testified by the whole nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy agent to summon thee to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.
Ha sịrị, “Ọ bụ Kọnelịọs onyeisi agha na-elekọta narị ndị agha zitere anyị. Ọ bụ onye ezi omume nke na-atụ egwu Chineke, bụrụkwa onye ndị Juu niile na-asọpụrụ. Mmụọ ozi dị nsọ gwara ya ka ọ kpọta gị nʼụlọ ya, ịnụ ihe i nwere ikwu.”
23 So, having invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brothers from Joppa went with him.
Ya mere, ọ kpọbatara ha nʼụlọ dịka ndị ọbịa. Echi ya, o biliri soro ha gawa, ụfọdụ ndị kwere ekwe na Jopa sokwara ya gaa.
24 And on the morrow they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and close friends.
Nʼụbọchị na-esota ya, ha bịaruru Sizaria. Kọnelịọs nọrịị na-eche ha, ya na ndị ezinaụlọ ya, na ndị ikwu na ibe ya, na ndị enyi ya ọ kpọrọ.
25 And when it came about for Peter to enter, Cornelius, having met him, after falling down at his feet, worshiped.
Mgbe Pita batara, Kọnelịọs zutere ya, daa nʼala nʼụkwụ ya, kpọọrọ ya isi nʼala.
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, Stand up. I am also myself a man.
Ma Pita selitara ya elu sị, “Bilie ọtọ, mụ onwe m bụkwa mmadụ.”
27 And as he conversed with him, he went in and found many who came together.
Mgbe ha na-ekwurịta okwu, ọ banyere nʼime ụlọ ma hụ igwe mmadụ ka ha zukọtara.
28 And he said to them, Ye understand how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to fraternize or to visit with a foreign man, and yet God demonstrated to me not to call one man profane or unclean.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Unu maara nke ọma na ọ bụ ihe megidere iwu na onye Juu na onye mba ọzọ ga-enwe mmekọrịta maọbụ gaa leta onye mba ọzọ. Ma Chineke ezila m na m ekwesighị ịkpọ mmadụ ọbụla onye rụrụ arụ maọbụ onye na-adịghị ọcha.
29 And so I came without objection when summoned. I ask therefore for what matter ye summoned me.
Nʼihi nke a, ọ bụ ya mere m jiri bịa mgbe akpọrọ m na-ajụghị ajụjụ. Ma ka m jụọ ugbu a ihe mere unu ji kpọọ m?”
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour, and the ninth hour praying in my house. And behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel.
Kọnelịọs sịrị, “Nʼụbọchị anọ gara aga, mgbe m nọ na-ekpe ekpere nʼoge ehihie nʼụlọ m, nʼihe dịka elekere atọ, na mberede, ahụrụ m nwoke yi uwe na-enwu ọcha ka o guzoro nʼihu m.
31 And he says, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy charities are remembered before God.
Ọ sịrị, Kọnelịọs, ‘Chineke anụla ekpere gị ma chetakwa onyinye ị na-enye ndị ogbenye.
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. This man lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, beside the sea, who, after coming, will speak to thee.
Ziga nʼobodo Jopa nʼụlọ otu nwoke a na-akpọ Saimọn, onye na-edozi akpụkpọ anụ. O bi nʼakụkụ osimiri.’ Nʼebe ahụ ha ga-ahụkwa otu onye ọbịa aha ya bụ Saimọn a na-akpọ Pita.
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou did well having come. Now therefore we are all present in the sight of God, to hear all the things commanded thee by God.
Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m ji mee ngwangwa zie ka a kpọọ gị. Ọ dị mma na ị bịara. Ugbu a, anyị niile ezukọtala nʼebe a nʼihu Chineke ịnụrụ ihe niile Onyenwe anyị chọrọ ka ị gwa anyị.”
34 And having opened his mouth, Peter said, In truth, I am overwhelmed that God is not partial,
Mgbe ahụ Pita meghere ọnụ ya sị, “Ugbu a, aghọtala m nʼezie na Chineke abụghị onye na-ele mmadụ anya nʼihu.
35 but in every nation, he who fears him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to him.
Kama nʼime mba ọbụla, onye ọbụla na-atụ egwu ya na onye na-arụ ọrụ ezi omume ka ọ na-anabata.
36 The word that he sent forth to the sons of Israel, preaching good news, peace by Jesus Christ (this man is Lord of all),
Unu maara ihe banyere oziọma ahụ o zigaara ndị Izrel niile, nke na-akọ akụkọ oziọma nke udo site na Jisọs Kraịst onye bụ Onyenwe anyị nʼihe niile.
37 ye know, the word having occurred throughout the whole of Judea beginning from Galilee after the immersion that John preached-
Okwu ahụ gbasara nʼala Judịa niile, malite na Galili mgbe Jọn kwusachara baptizim nke ya.
38 Jesus of Nazareth-how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who passed through doing good, and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.
Otu Chineke si were Mmụọ Nsọ na ike wụkwasị Jisọs onye Nazaret dịka mmanụ, na otu o si jegharịa na-eme mma na-agwọkwa ndị niile ekwensu na-emekpa ahụ, nʼihi na Chineke nọnyeere ya.
39 And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, whom also they killed, having hung on a tree.
“Anyị bụ ndị akaebe ihe niile o mere nʼala ndị Juu na nʼime Jerusalem. Ha gburu ya site nʼịkpọgide ya nʼelu obe.
40 This man God raised up the third day, and granted him to become manifest,
Ma Chineke mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilite mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị. E mekwara ka ndị mmadụ hụ ya anya.
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were previously chosen by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he arose from the dead.
Ọ bụghị mmadụ niile kama ọ bụ naanị anyị ndị Chineke họpụtara, dịka ndị akaebe, ndị soro ya rie ma ṅụọkwa mgbe o si nʼọnwụ bilie.
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to solemnly testify that this is the man designated by God, judge of the living and the dead.
O nyere anyị iwu ka anyị gaa zisaa oziọma nʼebe niile, ịkọwa na ọ bụ ya ka Chineke họpụtara ịbụ onye ikpe nke ndị dị ndụ na ndị nwụrụ anwụ.
43 To this man all the prophets testify, that every man who believes in him, to receive remission of sins through his name.
Ndị amụma niile gbara ama ihe banyere ya na onye ọbụla nke kweere na ya ga-enweta mgbaghara mmehie site nʼaha ya.”
44 While Peter still spoke these sayings, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
Mgbe Pita nọ na-ekwu okwu, Mmụọ Nsọ bịakwasịrị ndị niile nụrụ okwu a.
45 And the faithful men of circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because also on the Gentiles the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out.
Nke a juru ndị e biri ugwu nʼetiti ndị kwere ekwe soro Pita bịa anya otu e siri mee ka ndị mba ọzọ nata onyinye Mmụọ Nsọ ahụ.
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
Nʼihi na ha nụrụ ka ha na-ekwu okwu nʼasụsụ dị iche iche na-etokwa Chineke. Mgbe ahụ Pita jụrụ,
47 Can any man forbid the water for these not to be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also?
“Ọ dị onye pụrụ igbochi anyị ime ndị a baptizim. Ndị natara Mmụọ Nsọ dị ka anyị onwe anyị?”
48 And he commanded them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to remain some days.
Nʼihi nke a, o nyere iwu ka e mee ha baptizim nʼaha Jisọs Kraịst. Ha rịọrọ ya ka ọ nọnyere ha ụbọchị ole na ole.
