< Acts 10 >

1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
Awo mu kibuga Kayisaliya mwalimu omusajja omuserikale, erinnya lye Koluneeriyo, eyakuliranga ekitongole ky’abaserikale ekikumi ekyayitibwanga Ekitaliano.
2 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.
Yali ayagala nnyo Katonda era ng’amusaamu nnyo ekitiibwa, ye n’ab’omu maka ge bonna, ng’agabira nnyo abaavu, era ng’asaba Katonda bulijjo.
3 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!”
Lwali lumu ku ssaawa nga mwenda ez’olweggulo, n’ayolesebwa, n’alabira ddala malayika wa Katonda ng’ajja gy’ali, n’amuyita nti, “Koluneeriyo!”
4 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.
Koluneeriyo n’amutunuulira enkaliriza ng’atidde nnyo. N’amubuuza nti, “Mukama wange, ogamba ki?” Malayika n’amuddamu nti, “Katonda awulidde okusaba kwo era alabye nga bw’ogabira abaavu bw’atyo n’akujjukira.
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
Kale nno, tuma basajja bo e Yopa bakimeyo omuntu erinnya lye Simooni era ayitibwa Peetero ajje akukyalire.
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
Abeera wa Simooni omuwazi w’amaliba, era enju ye eri ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.”
7 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.
Malayika yali yaakagenda, Koluneeriyo n’ayita abaweereza be babiri n’omuserikale atya Katonda, omu ku baweereza,
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
n’abannyonnyola byonna ebibaddewo, n’abatuma e Yopa.
9 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.
Ku lunaku olwaddirira bwe baali basemberera ekibuga, essaawa zaali ziwera nga mukaaga ez’omu ttuntu, Peetero n’alinnya waggulu ku kasolya k’ennyumba akaali akatereevu, okusaba.
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
Yali ali eyo enjala n’emuluma, naye bwe baali bamuteekerateekera ekyokulya embeera ye n’ewaanyisibwa n’ayolesebwa.
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
N’alaba eggulu nga libikkuse, ekintu ekifaanana ng’essuuka ennene ennyo, nga kinywezebbwa ku nsonda zaakyo ennya, nga kikka wansi ku ttaka.
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
Kyalimu ebisolo ebirina amagulu ana byonna, n’ebyewalula byonna eby’oku nsi n’ennyonyi zonna ez’omu bbanga.
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
Awo n’awulira eddoboozi nga ligamba nti, “Peetero, situka osale, olye!”
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
Peetero n’addamu nti, “Nedda, Mukama wange, kubanga siryanga ku kintu kya muzizo oba ekitali kirongoofu.”
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
Eddoboozi ne liddamu okwogera naye omulundi ogwokubiri nti, “Ekyo Katonda ky’amaze okulongoosa tokiyitanga ekitali kirongoofu.”
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
Ne kiba bwe kityo emirundi esatu, amangwago ekintu ekyo ekiri ng’essuuka ne kizzibwayo mu ggulu.
17 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,
Peetero n’abeera awo ng’asamaaliridde. Ne yeebuuza amakulu g’okwolesebwa okwo, ne yeebuuza ne ky’asaana okukola, byonna nga bimusobedde. Mu kiseera ekyo ababaka abaatumibwa Koluneeriyo, ennyumba baali baakagizuula era nga bayimiridde wabweru ku luggi
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
nga babuuza obanga awo Simooni ayitibwa Peetero we yabeeranga.
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
Awo Peetero bwe yali ng’akyebuuza eby’okwolesebwa okwo, Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’amugamba nti, “Laba, abasajja basatu bakunoonya.
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
Situka okke wansi ogende nabo awatali kulwa kubanga nze mbatumye.”
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
Bw’atyo Peetero n’akka wansi, n’agamba abasajja abaatumibwa nti, “Ye nze gwe munoonya. Kiki ekibaleese?”
22 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.”
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Koluneeriyo omukulu w’ekitongole y’atutumye. Musajja mwegendereza, atya Katonda era Abayudaaya bonna bamussaamu ekitiibwa. Yalabikirwa malayika wa Katonda n’amugamba akuyite ojje mu nnyumba ye omutegeeze Katonda by’ayagala akole.”
23 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.
Awo Peetero n’abayingiza mu nnyumba ne basulawo ekiro ekyo. Enkeera n’agenda n’abo ng’awerekerwako abooluganda abamu ab’omu Yopa.
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
Ku lunaku olwaddirira Peetero n’atuuka e Kayisaliya. Yasanga Koluneeriyo amulindiridde, ng’ali ne baganda be ne mikwano gye be yayita balabe Peetero.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
Peetero bwe yayingira mu nnyumba, Koluneeriyo n’agwa wansi mu maaso ge n’amusinza.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
Naye Peetero n’amuyimusa n’amugamba nti, “Golokoka! Nange ndi muntu buntu.”
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
N’agolokoka ne boogeramu, ne bayingira munda mu kisenge abalala bangi mwe baali bakuŋŋaanidde.
28 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 should not call any man unholy or unclean.
Awo Peetero n’abagamba nti, “Mumanyi nga mu mateeka gaffe ag’Ekiyudaaya, ffe tetuyingira mu maka g’Abamawanga. Naye Katonda yandaze mu kwolesebwa nga sisaanira kuddayo kuyisa muntu yenna ng’atali mulongoofu.
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
Noolwekyo olwantumira nange ne nsitukiramu. Kale, ompitidde nsonga ki?”
30 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
Awo Koluneeriyo n’addamu nti, “Ennaku nnya eziyise, nnali mu nnyumba yange nga nsaba mu ssaawa nga bwe ziti omwenda ez’olweggulo. Amangwago omusajja n’ayimirira mu maaso gange ng’ayambadde engoye ezitemagana.
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
N’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Koluneeriyo, Katonda awulidde okusaba kwo, era ajjukidde ebirabo byo by’ogabira abaavu.
32 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.’
Kale nno, tuma e Yopa, oyite Simooni ayitibwa Peetero, eyakyala mu maka ga Simooni omuwazi w’amaliba ali ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.’
33 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.”
Bwe ntyo ne nkutumira mangu, era naawe n’okola bulungi n’ojjirawo. Kaakano ffenna tuli wano mu maaso ga Katonda nga tulindirira okuwulira ky’akutumye okutubuulira!”
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
Awo Peetero n’agamba nti, “Kaakano ntegeeredde ddala nga Katonda tasosola mu bantu,
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
wabula ayaniriza abantu bonna ab’omu mawanga gonna kasita baba nga bamutya era nga bakola by’asiima.
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
Kino kye kigambo kye yaweereza abaana ba Isirayiri ng’ababuulira emirembe mu Yesu Kristo, Mukama wa bonna.
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Mumanyi ebyabaawo mu Buyudaaya mwonna okusookera mu Ggaliraaya oluvannyuma lw’okubatizibwa Yokaana kwe yabuulira.
38 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.
Era mumanyi bulungi Yesu Omunnazaaleesi nga Katonda bwe yamufukako amafuta ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’amaanyi, eyatambula ng’agenda akola ebirungi, ng’awonya abaanyigirizibwanga Setaani, kubanga Katonda yali naye.
39 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.
“Ffe bajulirwa ab’ebyo byonna bye yakola mu nsi y’Abayudaaya ne mu Yerusaalemi, gye yattirwa ku musaalaba.
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
Oyo Katonda yamuzuukiza ku lunaku olwokusatu era n’amulaga eri abantu.
41 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.
Teyalabibwa bantu bonna, wabula abajulirwa Katonda be yali amaze okulonda, be baffe abaalya naye, ne tunywa naye ng’amaze okuzuukira mu bafu.
42 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.
N’atutuma okubuulira abantu Enjiri nga tujulira nti Yesu y’oyo, Katonda gwe yalonda okubeera omulamuzi w’abantu bonna, abalamu n’abafu.
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
Era ne bannabbi bonna bamuweera obujulirwa nti buli amukkiriza asonyiyibwa ebibi mu linnya lye.”
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
Awo Peetero bwe yali akyayogera ebigambo ebyo, Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’akka ku abo bonna abali bawuliriza ekigambo!
45 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.
Abakkiriza abakomole bangi abaawerekera ku Peetero ne beewuunya nnyo okulaba ng’ekirabo kya Mwoyo Mutukuvu kifukibbwa ne ku baamawanga.
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
Kubanga baabawulira nga boogera mu nnimi endala nga batendereza Katonda. Awo Peetero n’agamba nti,
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
“Waliwo ayinza okuziyiza abantu bano okubatizibwa n’amazzi abafunye Mwoyo Mutukuvu nga ffe bwe twamufuna?”
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
Bw’atyo n’alagira babatizibwe mu linnya lya Yesu Kristo. Ne basaba Peetero agira abeera nabo okumala ennaku ntonotono.
