Katwa Nono Katwa 10
1 Nene umong unit waduku nanya kagbirin Siseriya, nin lissan Konoliyus, kusoja kudyawa ligonzin na Italiya.
Now a Captain of the Italian Regiment, named Cornelius, was quartered at Caesarea.
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.
He was religious and God-fearing--and so was every member of his household. He was also liberal in his charities to the people, and continually offered prayer to God.
3 Kubi nikoro kutir nin wui, ayene kanang nanya namoro alau gono kadura Kutelle din cinu udak kitime. Gono kadure woroghe, “Konoloyus!”
About three o'clock one afternoon he had a vision, and distinctly saw an angel of God enter his house, who called him by name, saying, "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.
Looking steadily at him, and being much alarmed, he said, "What do you want, Sir?" "Your prayers and charities," he replied, "have gone up and have been recorded before God.
5 Nene to anit udu kagbirin Joppa idak nin nit lissame Simon, urika na idin kitin yiccughe tutung Bitrus.
And now send to Jaffa and fetch Simon, surnamed Peter.
6 Nin Kutana lissame Simon, urika na kilari me din biu kurawa.”
He is staying as a guest with Simon, a tanner, who has a house close to the sea."
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.
So when the angel who had been speaking to him was gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a God-fearing soldier who was in constant attendance on him,
8 Konoliyus belle nani vat nimon ilen na isu anin tonani udu u Joppa.
and, after telling them everything, he sent them to Jaffa.
9 Nin liri liba nin kubi nikoro kutocin, na iwadi nanya ncin mine inin da kupo kippin, Bitrus ghana kulari kitene ati nlira.
The next day, while they were still on their journey and were getting near the town, about noon Peter went up on the house-top to pray.
10 Kupkon da anin yita ninsu li nimonmon, na anite wadi likanju nimoli, ayene amoro alau,
He had become unusually hungry and wished for food; but, while they were preparing it, 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.
The sky had opened to his view, and what seemed to be an enormous sail was descending, being let down to the earth by ropes at the four corners.
12 Nanya kunin vat ninawan tene nabunu anas nin nimon ile na idin kurtu kutiin, a ayiin kitene kani.
In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles and birds,
13 Liwui tunna li lirina ninghe: “Fita Bitrus, ubo uli.”
and a voice came to him which said, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
14 Bitrus woro, “Na nanera ba, Cikilari; nan sa leu imon na idi nanzang sa dinon ba.”
"On no account, Lord," he replied; "for I have never yet eaten anything unholy and impure."
15 Ama liwuiye daa kitime umba: “Ile imon na Kutelle nwesse yenju uwa woro idinin dinong.”
Again a second time a voice was heard which said, "What God has purified, you must not regard as unholy."
16 Na ayine ile imone so titat kiteene itunna ighantina kugbetue udu kitene kani.
This was said three times, and immediately the sail was drawn up out of sight.
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.
While Peter was greatly perplexed as to the meaning of the vision which he had seen, just then the men sent by Cornelius, having by inquiry found out Simon's house,
18 Inin yicila itirino sa Siman, ulenge na idin yicu ghe Bitrus, sosin kikane.
had come to the door and had called the servant, and were asking, "Is Simon, surnamed Peter, staying here?"
19 Na Bitrus se wa din kpilzu kitene na moron wui ye, Uruhu belin ghe, “Yene, anit atat nalime din piziru fi.
And Peter was still earnestly thinking over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, "Three men are now inquiring for you.
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.”
Rise, go down, and go with them without any misgivings; for it is I who have sent them to you."
21 Nani Bitrus se tolo kadase ade see anit aworo ani, “Mere ule na idin pizirughe. Inyangharin ndaa ninghinu?”
So Peter went down and said to the men, "I am the Simon you are inquiring for. What is the reason of your coming?"
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.”
Their reply was, "Cornelius, a Captain, an upright and God-fearing man, of whom the whole Jewish nation speaks well, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and listen to what you have to say."
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.
Upon hearing this, Peter invited them in, and gave them a lodging. The next day he set out with them, some of the brethren from Jaffa going with him,
24 Nin Shantung kui me idaa Usizeriya. Kaniliyos wa din ncaa mine, awa dak ligowe nin likura a adindong asusut me.
and the day after that they reached Caesarea. There Cornelius was awaiting their arrival, and had invited all his relatives and intimate friends to be present.
25 Kubi koo na Bitrus se npira, Kaniliyos tumuno na bunu fe atighe gongong.
When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him, and threw himself at his feet to do him homage.
26 Ama Bitrus se fya ghe aworo, “Yisina; Meng wang litine unitari.”
But Peter lifted him up. "Stand up," he said; "I myself also am but a man."
27 Kubi koo na Bitrus wa din liru ninghe, a pira nanya a ssee anit gbardang sosin ligowe.
So Peter went in and conversed with him, and found a large company assembled.
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.
He said to them, "You know better than most that a Jew is strictly forbidden to associate with a Gentile or visit him; but God has taught me to call no one unholy or unclean.
29 Un naren taa ndaa ba manyardang, na uwa tuu ndak. Bara nani ntirin fi uminin too ndak.”
So for this reason, when sent for, I came without raising any objection. I therefore ask why you 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.
"Just at this hour, three days ago," replied Cornelius, "I was offering afternoon prayer in my house, when suddenly a man in shining raiment stood in front of me,
31 Aworo, 'Kaniliyos, Kutelle nlanza nlira fe, ile imon na udin filzinu ni kimon ntaa Kutelle koni nlizino ning fi.
who said, "'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been put on record 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 Jaffa, and invite Simon, surnamed Peter, to come here. He is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, close to the sea.'
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.”
"Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and I thank you heartily for having come. That is why all of us are now assembled here in God's presence, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to say."
34 Bitrus puu no unuu me aworo, “Kidegene, Nyinno na Kutelle din feru ba.
Then Peter began to speak. "I clearly see," he said, "that God makes no distinctions between one man and another;
35 Nnani, nyan vat nmin Kutelle din sesu vat na nit ale na idin suu ghe usujada nin adadu alau.
but that in every nation those who fear Him and live good lives are 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 Message which He sent to the descendants of Israel, when He announced the Good News of peace through Jesus Christ--He is Lord of all--that Message you cannot but know;
37 anun atimine yiru ile imon na ina su, ile na iwa se vat nyan Judiya, ucizinue Ngaliliya, nkatun Baptisma Nyuhana na awa belin;
the story, I mean, which has spread through the length and breadth of Judaea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed.
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.
It tells how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, so that He went about everywhere doing acts of kindness, and curing all who were being continually oppressed by the Devil--for God was with Jesus.
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 as to all that He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. But they even put Him to death, by crucifixion.
40 Unit ulele Kutelle fya ghe nya liri lin tat anakpa ghe anun nan yinin ghe,
That same Jesus God raised to life on the third day, and permitted Him to appear unmistakably,
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--men previously chosen by God--namely, 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 has commanded us to preach to the people and solemnly declare that this is He who has been appointed by 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 all the Prophets bear witness, and testify that through His name all who believe in Him receive the forgiveness of their sins."
44 A bitrus dutu nbellu nile imone Uruhu Ulau tolo kitene nati nalenge vat na iwa di nlanzu, uliru me.
While Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the Message.
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 all the Jewish believers who had come with Peter were astonished that on the Gentiles also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out.
46 Bara iwa lanza Awurumi ane dinsu uliru nin ton tilem ugang izazina Kutelle. Bitrus kauwa a woro,
For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling the majesty of God. Then Peter said,
47 “Umong wasa anaza nin mmyen nworu na iwa shintin anit alelena isere Uruhu Ulau we umunu arike ku wangha?”
"Can any one forbid the use of water, and object to these persons being baptized--men who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?"
48 Atunna ataa ishinto nani mmyen nanya lissan Yesu Kristi. Ifoghe acara aso ligowe nanghinu uduru among ayiri gbardang.
And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for a time.
