Matendo ya Mitume 10
1 Kwajhele ni munu fulani mu mji ghwa Kaisaria, lihina lya muene Kornelio, ajhele mbaha ghwa kikosi kya kiitalia.
NOW there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the cohort called the Italic,
2 Ajhe mchamungu na amwabuduili K'yara ni nyumba jha muene jhioha ahomisi hela nyingi kwa bhayahudi na asokili kwa K'yara magono ghoha.
a man of piety, and who feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
3 Muda ghwa saa tisa gha pamusi, abhwene maono Malaika ghwa K'yara ihida kwa muene. Malaika akan'jobhela
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 “Kornelio! Kornelio akandanga malaika na ajhele ni hofu mbaha sana akajobha “Ejhe ndo kiki n'kolo?” Malaika akan'jobhela “Maombi gha jhobhi ni zawadi sya jhobhi kwa maskini sikwelili kunani kama kumbukumbu mu uwepo bhwa K'yara”.
Then looking stedfastly on him, and being terrified, he said, What means this, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 Henu laghisiajhi bhanu kulota mji ghwa Yafa kundeta munu mmonga jhaikutibhwa Simoni ambaye pia ikutibhwa Petro.
And now send men to Joppa, and inquire for Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 Itamana ni n'tengenesiajhi ghwa ngozi jhaikutibhwa Simoni ambajhe nyumba jha muene ijhele kando jha bahari.”
he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is near the sea: this man will tell thee what thou must do.
7 Baada jha Malaika jha ajobheghe nu muene kubhoka, kornelio akabhakuta bhatumishi bha panyumba jha muene bhabhele ni askari jha amwabudueghe K'yara kati jha maaskari bhabhan'tumikileghe.
But when the angel departed who spake to Cornelius, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, persons who constantly were in attendance upon him;
8 Kornelio akabhajobhela ghoha ghaghatokili ni kubhalaghisya Yafa.
and relating all things to them, sent them to Joppa.
9 Ligono lyalyafwatili muda ghwa saa sita bho bhajhe munjela na bhikaribila ku mjini Petro akakuela panani pa darini kus'oka.
Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth hour:
10 Na kabhele ajhele ni njala naalondeghe kulya khenu, lakini wakati bhanu bhiteleka kyakulya, akalasibhwa maono.
and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him.
11 Akabhona anga lifunguiki ni khenu kiselela ni khenu fulani kama nghobho mbhaha jhiselela pasi pa ardhi mu kona syake syoha nne.
And he saw heaven opened, and there descended to him a certain vessel, as a great sheet with chains at the four corners, and resting upon the earth:
12 Mugati mwake kwajhele ni aina syoha sya bhanyama bhenye magolo mancheche na bhabhiboya panani pa ardhi, ni fidege fya anga.
in which were all the quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and birds of the air.
13 Kabhele sauti ikajobha kwa muene “Jhumukayi, Petro chinja ni bhola”.
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; slay and eat.
14 Lakini Petro akajobha “Naha lepi, Bwana kwandabha nibhwayilepi kulya khenu kyokyoha najisi na kichafu.
But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean.
15 Lakini sauti ikahida kwa muene kabhele kabhele mara jhe pili “Kyaakitakasili Mungu ghilondeka lepi kukikuta najisi wala kichafu”.
And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean.
16 Ejhe jhatokili mara tatu ni khenu kela kikajha kitolibhu kabhele angani.
This was thrice repeated: and the vessel was again taken up into heaven.
17 Ni Petro bho ajhele katika hali jha kuchanganyikibhwa juu jha maono aghu ghimaanisha kiki, Langayi, bhanu bhabhatumibhu ni Kornelio bhakajhema palongolo ndiangu, bhakajha bhikota jhela jha kulota mu nyumba.
But while Peter was perplexed in himself what was meant by the vision which he had seen, then, behold! the men which had been sent by Cornelius having inquired out the house of Simon, stood before the door,
18 Na bhakakuta ni kukotelesya kama Simoni ambajhe pia akutibhu Petro kama atameghe pala.
and calling, asked if Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 Wakati obhu Petr ibhwasya juu jha maono aghu, Roho akajobha nakhu, “Langayi bhanu bhadatu bhikulonda.
But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee.
20 Jhumukayi na uselelayi pasi na ulotayi nabhu. Usitili kulota nabhu, kwa ndabha nibhalaghisi.”
Arise then, and go down, and go with them, entertaining no doubt, for I have sent them.
21 Petro akaselela pasi kwa bhene ni kujobha, “Nene ndo jhola jha mukandonda kwandajha kiki muhidili?”
Then Peter went down to the men who were sent by Cornelius to him; and said, Lo! I am the person that ye ask for: what is the business on which ye are come hither?
22 Bhakajobha, “Akida mmongalihina lya muene Kornelio, munu ghwa haki ni kugana kumwabudu K'yara ni bhanu bhakan'jobha kinofu mu litaifa lyoha lya kiyahudi, ajobhibhu ni malaika ghwa K'yara kukulaghisya ili kulota ku nyumba jha mene, ili ap'elekayi ujumbe kuhomela kwa bhebhe.”
Then they said, Cornelius a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report with all the nation of the Jews, has been divinely admonished by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, to hear words from thee.
23 Petro akabhakaribisya kujhingila mugati ni kutama pamonga ni muene, Lukhela bhakajhumuka bhakalota pamonga ni muene, ni bhalongomunu bhadebe kuhomela Yafa bhakalongosana naku.
Then inviting them in, he lodged them there. And the next morning Peter went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Ligono lyalyafwatili bhahidili Kaisaria. Ni Kornelio akajha akabhalendela; na abhakutili ni bhalongo munu ni bharafiki zake bha karibu.
And the next day they entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his relations and nearest friends.
25 Wakati Petro ijhingila mugati Kornelio akamlaki ni kujhinama hadi pais mu magolo gha muene kwa kun'heshimu.
And as Peter was entering, Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, paid him homage.
26 Lakini Petro an'jhinuili ni kujobha “Jhemayi; ne mwene ne mwanadamu.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also myself am a man.
27 Wakati Petro ilongela naku, alotili mgati abhwene bhanu bhabhonganiki pamonga.
And conversing with him, he entered, and found many assembled together.
28 Akabhajobhela, “Mwejhomu mumanyili kujha sheria lepi jha kiyahudi kushirikiana au kugendibhwa ni munu ambajhe wa taifa e'le lepi. Lakini K'yara andasi nene kujha nilondeka lepi kun'kuta munu jhejhioha ndo najisi au n'chafu.
And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean.
29 Na ndo maana nihidili bila kubishila, bhonilaghisibhu kwa ndabha jha ejhu. Hene nibhakotayi kwandayakiki mwalaghisibhu kwandabha jha nene.”
Wherefore also without a word, I came when invited: I beg to know therefore for what purpose ye have sent for me?
30 Kornelio akajobha, “Magono mancheche gha ghalotili, wakati kama obho nikajha nis'oka muda ghwa saa tisa pamusi mugati mu nyumba jha nene; Nabhwene palongolo pa nene munu ajhemili ajhe ni maguanda mabhalafu,
Then Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and, lo! a man stood before me in shining apparel,
31 Akan'jobhela “Kornelio maombi gha jhobhi ghap'elibhu ni K'yara, ni zawadi sya jhobhi kwa maskini sijhele sya ukumbusho mbele sya K'yara.
and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are remembered before God.
32 Kwa hiyo laghisiajhi munu Yafa na akan'kutayi munu mmonga jhaikutibhwa Simoni ahidayi kwa bhebhe, ambajhe ikutibhwa Petro ambajhe iishi kwa n'tengenesya ngozi mmonga jhaikutibhwa Simoni ambajhe nyumba jha muene ijhele pembeni mwa bahari.
Send therefore to Joppa, and invite Simon, whose surname is Peter, to come to thee; he lodgeth in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea: who, when he is come will talk with thee.
33 Zingatilayi: N'sitari obho, “Nu muene pa ibeta kuhida ibeta kujobha namu,” bhujhelepi mu aandiku gha muandi.
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore are all we here present before God, to hear all things that are given in charge to thee from God.
34 Ndipo Petro akajhajhula ndomo ghwa muene ni kujobha “Kweli, nikiera K'yara ibhwesya lepi kujha ni upendeleo.
Then Peter opening his mouth, said, In truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons:
35 Badala jhike khila taifa munu jhejhioha jha ikamwabudu ni kubhomba matendo gha haki ijhedekelibhwa kwa muene.
but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.
36 Umanyi ujumbe bhwa abhupisi kwa bhana bha Israeli, bho itangasya habari sinofu sya amani kup'etela Yesu Kristu ambajhe ni Bwana ghwa bhoha-
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all, ) ye know:
37 Mwejhomo mumanyili litukio lya litokili, ambalyo litokili Yudea jhioha na lyajhandili Galilaya, baada jha ubatizo ambabho Yohana alangasili.
even that which was the common talk through all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Yukio lya limhusueghe Yesu Kristu jinsi K'yara kya an'sopili mafuta kwa Roho mtakatifu ni kwa nghofu. Alotili kubhomba manofu ni kupongesya bhoha bhabhatesibhu ni ibilisi kwa kujha K'yara ajhele pamonga na bhene.
respecting Jesus, who was of Nazareth, how God had anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were tyrannically oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 Tete ndo mashahidi bha mambo ghoha gha aghabhombili mu nchi sya uyahudi ni mu Yerusalemu- ojho ndo Yesu jhabhan'komili ni kun'tondeka pa libehe.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed suspending him on a tree:
40 Munu ojho K'yara amfufuili ligono lya tatu ni kumbeka kumanyikana,
him God raised up the third day, and ordained that he should be visibly manifested;
41 tete kwa bhanu bhoha, lakini kwa mashahidi bhabhachagulibhu kabla ni K'yara - tete twebhene, jha twalili naku ni kunywa naku baada jha kufufuka kuhoma kwa bhafu.
not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he was arisen from the dead.
42 Atulaghisi kuhubiri kwa bhanu ni kushuhudila kujha mwamuzi ghwa bhabhajhe hai ni bhoha bhabhafuili.
And hath commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to bear our testimony that this is the person who is ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 Kwa muene manabii bhoha bhashuhudilayi, ili kwamba khila jha iamini kwa muene apokelayi msamaha ghwa dhambi kup'etela lihina lya muene.”
To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins.
44 Wakati Petro ijhendelela kujobha agha, Roho mtakatifu akabhajaza bhoha bhabhajhele bhip'elekesya ujumbe bhwa muene.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all who heard the discourse.
45 Bhanu bhala bha bhihusika ni kikundi kya bhaamini bhabhatahiribhu- bhoha bhabhahidili ni Petro- bhasyangesibhu, kwa ndabha jha karama jha Roho mtakatifu jhaamwagibhu pia kwa bhamataifa.
And they of the circumcision who were believers, as many as came with Peter, were amazed, because even on the Gentiles the gift of the holy Ghost was poured out.
46 Kwa kujha bhap'eliki abha bhamataifa bhilongela kwa lugha s'enge ni kumwabudu K'yara. Petro ajibili,
For they heard them speaking in different languages, and magnifying God. Then Peter addressed them,
47 “Ajhe munu jhejhioha jhaibhwesya kuzuila masi ili bhanu bhasibatisibhu, bhanu abha bhampokili Roho mtakatifu kama tete?”
Can any one forbid the water for baptising these persons, who have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 Ndipo akabhaamuru bhabatisibhwayi kwa lihina lya Yesu Kristu. Baadaye bhakan'soka atama ni bhene kwa magono kadhaa.
So he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to tarry there some days.
