Katwa Nono Katwa 10
1 Nene umong unit waduku nanya kagbirin Siseriya, nin lissan Konoliyus, kusoja kudyawa ligonzin na Italiya.
Now [there was] a certain man in Cæsarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
2 Awadi unit in biya kang, urika na nawadin dortu Kutelle nin kilari me vat; awa nizu anit na Yahudawa ikubu gbardang anin suzu inlira kiti Kutelle kolome liri.
a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
3 Kubi nikoro kutir nin wui, ayene kanang nanya namoro alau gono kadura Kutelle din cinu udak kitime. Gono kadure woroghe, “Konoloyus!”
He saw in a vision openly, as it were about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 Konoliyus yenje gono kadure fiu daghe aworo, “Inyaghari unit udya?” Gono kadure woroghe, “Nlirafe nin nimon ile na udin filluzunu akimon mun nghana kite nafo unizun lizzinu inbun Kutelle.
And he, fastening his eyes upon him, and being affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are gone up for a memorial before God.
5 Nene to anit udu kagbirin Joppa idak nin nit lissame Simon, urika na idin kitin yiccughe tutung Bitrus.
And now send men to Joppa, and fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 Nin Kutana lissame Simon, urika na kilari me din biu kurawa.”
he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side.
7 Na gono kadura Kutellen mala uliru ninghe, Koloniyus yiccila acin awaba kilarime, nin kusojako na kuwadi su Kutelle usujada nanya nasoja na iwa dighe katwa.
And when the angel that spake unto him was departed, he called two of his household-servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 Konoliyus belle nani vat nimon ilen na isu anin tonani udu u Joppa.
and having rehearsed all things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Nin liri liba nin kubi nikoro kutocin, na iwadi nanya ncin mine inin da kupo kippin, Bitrus ghana kulari kitene ati nlira.
Now on the morrow, as they were on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour:
10 Kupkon da anin yita ninsu li nimonmon, na anite wadi likanju nimoli, ayene amoro alau,
and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance;
11 anin yene kitenen puno kidowo nin nimonmon nafo kukuzunntolsu, imone gbardang nafo kukuzu ucin tolu kutiin, iwa tolti kunin nin nasari anasme.
and he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth:
12 Nanya kunin vat ninawan tene nabunu anas nin nimon ile na idin kurtu kutiin, a ayiin kitene kani.
wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven.
13 Liwui tunna li lirina ninghe: “Fita Bitrus, ubo uli.”
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.
14 Bitrus woro, “Na nanera ba, Cikilari; nan sa leu imon na idi nanzang sa dinon ba.”
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean.
15 Ama liwuiye daa kitime umba: “Ile imon na Kutelle nwesse yenju uwa woro idinin dinong.”
And a voice [came] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.
16 Na ayine ile imone so titat kiteene itunna ighantina kugbetue udu kitene kani.
And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven.
17 Nene na Bitrus nyene amoron nwui anin din kpilizu nyanghar adi, awa ba na Kaniliyos ntoo nani ida yisina kibulung ghe, na itirino kilari kaa na aduku.
Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
18 Inin yicila itirino sa Siman, ulenge na idin yicu ghe Bitrus, sosin kikane.
and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, were lodging there.
19 Na Bitrus se wa din kpilzu kitene na moron wui ye, Uruhu belin ghe, “Yene, anit atat nalime din piziru fi.
And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Fitaa utolu unin nyaa ligowe nan ghinu, na uwann nari unyiu ligowe nan ghinu, na uwan nari unyiu ligowe nan ghinu ba, bara nan too nani.”
But arise, and get thee down, and go with them, nothing doubting: for I have sent them.
21 Nani Bitrus se tolo kadase ade see anit aworo ani, “Mere ule na idin pizirughe. Inyangharin ndaa ninghinu?”
And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
22 I woro, “Unan buun ligozin nasoja likoolt nin lisa Kaniliyos, unit ulau nin lee na adin su Kutelle usujada, unitari ule na vat nmin na Yahudawa din liru litime, Kutelle wa tuu gono kadura me kilau ucindu kilari me, adan lanza kadura nnuzu kitife.”
And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned [of God] by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.
23 Bitrus se yicala ani ipiru nin nati isoo ligowe nan ghe. Ukurtunun kui ye afita anyaa ligowe nin ghe, nin nan nuwuna nnuzun Jopa na iwufu ghe.
So he called them in and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Nin Shantung kui me idaa Usizeriya. Kaniliyos wa din ncaa mine, awa dak ligowe nin likura a adindong asusut me.
And on the morrow they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and his near friends.
25 Kubi koo na Bitrus se npira, Kaniliyos tumuno na bunu fe atighe gongong.
And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 Ama Bitrus se fya ghe aworo, “Yisina; Meng wang litine unitari.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 Kubi koo na Bitrus wa din liru ninghe, a pira nanya a ssee anit gbardang sosin ligowe.
And as he talked with him, he went in, and findeth many come together:
28 Aworo ani, “Anun atimine yiru na ucaun Kuyahudawa munu liti nin, sa a doo kitin mong nnuzu mmong mmin. Ama Kutelle na dursoi na nwa yicila umong unit ananni sa unan dinong.
and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and [yet] unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean:
29 Un naren taa ndaa ba manyardang, na uwa tuu ndak. Bara nani ntirin fi uminin too ndak.”
wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me.
30 Kaniliyos woro, “Ayiri anas na ana kata kubi fo kone, Nwa din nlira kubi likure sa irum nya kilari ning; nnin yene, unit yisin nbun ning nin nimon iboo pas.
And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,
31 Aworo, 'Kaniliyos, Kutelle nlanza nlira fe, ile imon na udin filzinu ni kimon ntaa Kutelle koni nlizino ning fi.
and saith, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 Too umong udu Ujopa, iyicila fi umong unit unan lisa Simon, ule wang na idin yicighe Bitrus, kupopo ngau kuli.'
Send therefore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
33 Kube ntunna ntoo iyicila fi. Ucaun na udaa. Nene na vat bite di kikane nbun Kutelle, ti lanza vat nile imon na Cikilari na dursufi ubelin.”
Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord.
34 Bitrus puu no unuu me aworo, “Kidegene, Nyinno na Kutelle din feru ba.
And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 Nnani, nyan vat nmin Kutelle din sesu vat na nit ale na idin suu ghe usujada nin adadu alau.
but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.
36 Iyiru kadura kaa na ana tuu udu kiti nat Nisraila, kubi koo na awa belin uliru umang nyan Yesu Kristi, ulenge amere Cikilarin vat-
The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all)—
37 anun atimine yiru ile imon na ina su, ile na iwa se vat nyan Judiya, ucizinue Ngaliliya, nkatun Baptisma Nyuhana na awa belin;
that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judæa, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Imone kitenen Yesu Nnazaret, na Kutelle wa kusu ghe nin Ruhu Ulau nin na gang. Anyaa atinnang su kataa kacine nin shizinu na le na ibilis wa nodin nani, Kutelle wa di ligowe nin ghe.
[even] Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 Arik anan niyizi ibaari nvat nimon ile na anan nmin na Yahudawa nin Urushalima-Yesu ulele na iwa molu ghe, ibana ghe kitene ku ca.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree.
40 Unit ulele Kutelle fya ghe nya liri lin tat anakpa ghe anun nan yinin ghe,
Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
41 na nvat nanitere ba, ama udu nanit ashaida alenge na Kutelle wa fere nani nworsu-arik atibite, ale natiwa li tisono nan ghe kimal nfitu me nkul.
not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, [even] to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 Awa ti nari, tisu uwaazi kiti nanit, ti kunu ti bellin nani ulelere, Kutelle na fere, usughe ushara kiti na nan lai, nin na nan nkul.
And he charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he who is ordained of God [to be] the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 Viti mere vat, na anabawa wani ushaida, bara kogha na ayinna ninghe anan sere usurtu nanya kulapi unuzu lissa me.”
To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins.
44 A bitrus dutu nbellu nile imone Uruhu Ulau tolo kitene nati nalenge vat na iwa di nlanzu, uliru me.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word.
45 Anit alenge na inung wandi nanya na nan kalizu nacunu-vat nalenge na iwa dak ligowe nan Bitrus fiu kiffo nani bara ufillu Nruhu Ulau we wa tolu wang kitene na wurumi.
And they of the circumcision that believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
46 Bara iwa lanza Awurumi ane dinsu uliru nin ton tilem ugang izazina Kutelle. Bitrus kauwa a woro,
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 “Umong wasa anaza nin mmyen nworu na iwa shintin anit alelena isere Uruhu Ulau we umunu arike ku wangha?”
Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
48 Atunna ataa ishinto nani mmyen nanya lissan Yesu Kristi. Ifoghe acara aso ligowe nanghinu uduru among ayiri gbardang.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
