Katwa Nono Katwa 10
1 Nene umong unit waduku nanya kagbirin Siseriya, nin lissan Konoliyus, kusoja kudyawa ligonzin na Italiya.
Now a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, 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, giving much alms to the people, and praying 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!”
saw in a vision plainly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to 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, looking steadily at him, and becoming affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have come 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 call for 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 seaside.
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 spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him,
8 Konoliyus belle nani vat nimon ilen na isu anin tonani udu u Joppa.
and having told them every thing 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.
On the morrow, as they were on their journey, and were drawing near the city, Peter went up on 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 very hungry and wished to eat; but while they were making ready, a trance came upon him,
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 beheld heaven opened, and a sort of vessel descending, as it were a large sheet having cords at the four corners, and let down 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 the four-footed beasts and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the air.
13 Liwui tunna li lirina ninghe: “Fita Bitrus, ubo uli.”
And there came a voice to him, Arise, Peter; slay, 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 common and unclean.
15 Ama liwuiye daa kitime umba: “Ile imon na Kutelle nwesse yenju uwa woro idinin dinong.”
And a voice came to him again, the second time, That which God hath cleansed, call not thou common.
16 Na ayine ile imone so titat kiteene itunna ighantina kugbetue udu kitene kani.
This was done three times; and the vessel was immediately taken 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 doubting within himself what the vision which he had seen meant, lo! the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate;
18 Inin yicila itirino sa Siman, ulenge na idin yicu ghe Bitrus, sosin kikane.
and they called, and asked whether Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged 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 was meditating on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking 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 go down, and go with them, without scruple; 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 are seeking; for what cause have ye 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 of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee to 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.
Then 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 the morrow after, he came into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 Kubi koo na Bitrus se npira, Kaniliyos tumuno na bunu fe atighe gongong.
And as Peter came in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and did him reverence.
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 while talking with him, he went in, and found many who had 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 to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a Jew to keep company with one of another nation, or to come near him; but God showed me 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 I came without objection, when sent for. I ask therefore, for what reason did ye send 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, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour was praying in my house; and lo! a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 Aworo, 'Kaniliyos, Kutelle nlanza nlira fe, ile imon na udin filzinu ni kimon ntaa Kutelle koni nlizino ning fi.
and said, Cornelius, thy prayer hath been heard, and thine alms have been remembered before 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 for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea-side; and he, when he cometh, will speak to thee.
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.”
I therefore sent to thee immediately; and thou hast done well in coming here. Now therefore we are all present before God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee from 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 not a 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 to the sons of Israel, publishing glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ; he is Lord of all men.
37 anun atimine yiru ile imon na ina su, ile na iwa se vat nyan Judiya, ucizinue Ngaliliya, nkatun Baptisma Nyuhana na awa belin;
Ye yourselves know what was spoken of through the whole of Judaea, 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.
relating to Jesus of Nazareth, that God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were overpowered by 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 they also slew by hanging him on a cross.
40 Unit ulele Kutelle fya ghe nya liri lin tat anakpa ghe anun nan yinin ghe,
Him God raised up on the third day, and caused him to be manifested,
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 to witnesses before appointed by God, to ourselves, 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 commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who hath been appointed by God to be 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 all the prophets bear witness, that through his name every one that believeth in him shall receive forgiveness of sins.
44 A bitrus dutu nbellu nile imone Uruhu Ulau tolo kitene nati nalenge vat na iwa di nlanzu, uliru me.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all 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 those of the circumcision who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished 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 speaking with tongues, and magnifying 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 one forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?
48 Atunna ataa ishinto nani mmyen nanya lissan Yesu Kristi. Ifoghe acara aso ligowe nanghinu uduru among ayiri gbardang.
And he commanded that they should be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to remain some days.
