Acts 10 (KDC2014)

1Kukala na munhu imoja mwiisi ya Kaisalia yakemigwe Kolinelio, kalala mkulu wa kibumbila cha wakalizi gana wa Kilumi kikemigwe, “Kibumbila cha Italia.”At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.

2Kakala munhu yomdumba Mulungu, heyo na wanhu wose wa mulubuga lwake wamgwaa ukulu Mulungu. Vivija kasang'hana ng'hani kuwataza wanhu wakiwa na kakala yompula Mulungu siku zose.He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.

3Siku dimoja saa tisa imisi, Mulungu kamulagusila kinhu, kamona msenga wa kuulanga wa Mulungu kamwizila kamulongela, “Kolinelio!”One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

4Kolinelio kamulola bunhuu msenga ayo wa kuulanga kwa bwembwe kamulongela, “Go mkulu, kuna choni?” Msenga wa kuulanga kamwidika, “Mulungu kanogelwa kumpula kwako na sang'hano ya kuwataza wakiwa, nayo hakusemwa bule.Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.

5Watume wanhu sambi baha, wachole Yopa kwa munhu imoja yokemigwa Simoni Petulo.Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.

6Heyo mgeni mna ikae ya munhu yokemigwa Simoni, muwamba ng'hwembe, kokala behi ya Bahali.”He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

7Abaho msenga ayo wa kuulanga kasegela, Kolinelio kawakema wasang'hanaji zake wabili na mkalizi wake imoja wa iwasang'hanaji zake, yomdumba Mulungu.When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.

8Kawalongela kija kilawilile, abaho kawatuma wachole Yopa.He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.

9Siku diyagwe viwakalile mnzila behi na Yopa, imisi Petulo kachola kudigati da uchanha kumpula Mulungu.The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

10Kona nzala na kalonda kuja kinhu chochose, lujo vilukalile lotandigwa, Mulungu kamulagusila kinhu.He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

11Kona ulanga ugubuka na kona kinhu kamba mgolole mkulu uwambigwe mhande zake nne wohumulusigwa hasi.He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

12Mgati yake kukala na wanyama wose na wang'onyo wotambala na ndege.It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.

13Kahulika sauti yomulongela, “Petulo, lamuka uchinje uje!”Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”

14Lakini Petulo kalonga, “Aka, Mndewa, sinakuja bule kinhu kigomigwe hebu kihile.”“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15Sauti imulongela kabili, “Sekeuvikeme viha vinhu viyatendile Mulungu vinoge.”The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

16Mbuli ino ilawilila miyanza midatu, abaho kinhu acho kigaligwa kuulanga.This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.

17Petulo viyakalile kokanganya fambulo da kinhu acho, wanhu watumigwe na Kolinelio wavika hana ing'anda ya Simoni, na wakala wemile haulongozi wa ulwivi.While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.

18Wakema, wauza, “Vino hano hana mgeni yoyose yokemigwa Simoni Petulo?”They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.

19Petulo kakala yang'hali yogelegeza fambulo da kinhu acho, baho Loho Yang'alile kamulongela, “Tegeleza! Kuna wanhu wadatu wokuzahila.As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

20Avo sekeunyawenyawe, itande uchole nao, kwavija niye iyo niwatumile.”So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”

21Avo Petulo kahumuluka kawalongela wanhu wao, “Niye iyo yumumzahila. Muwinza choni?”So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”

22Wamwidika, “Mkulu Kolinelio katutuma. Munhu ayo kanoga na komdumba Mulungu na katogoligwa ng'hani na Wayahudi. Msenga yang'alile wa kuulanga kamulongela yakugoneke gweye ukayake. Muladi yahulike chondaulonge.”“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”

23Petulo kawagoneka wanhu awo kumwake, ikilo acho kawagwaa hanhu ha kuwasa. Imitondo yake kaitanda kachola nao na wanhu wayagwe wamtogole Yesu kulawa Yopa wachola nayo.So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.

24Imitondo yake wavika mwiisi ya Kaisalia. Kolinelio kakala kowabeta, hamoja na ndugu na mbwiga zake wa behi yawagoneke.The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

25Petulo viyakalile behi kuvika, Kolinelio kenuka kamcholela, kagwa kingubanguba kamtambikila.As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.

26Petulo kamwinula, kamulongela, “Inuka, niye mwenyego na munhu kamba gweye.”But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

27Petulo kagendelela kulonga na Kolinelio viyakalile kokwingila mng'anda, mumo kawavika wanhu wengi waiting'hana.As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.

28Petulo kawalongela, “Mweye wenyego mujuwa goya kamba Muyahudi kagomigwa na malagizo gake sekeyamtembelele hebu kuilumba na munhu hali Muyahudi. Lakini Mulungu kandagusila sekenimkeme munhu yoyose keha hebu hafaya.He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.

29Na viundagize, silemile bule niza, avo nokuuza kabili kung'hemela choni?”So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”

30Kolinelio kalonga, “Siku ndatu zibitile mna isaa kamba ino, saa tisa imisi, ng'hala nimpula Mulungu mng'anda yangu. Bahaja munhu yavalile viwalo vizelu chuwee, kema haulongozi wangu,Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me

31kalonga, ‘Kolinelio! Mulungu kahulika viumpulile na kazitogola sang'hano zako za kuwataza wanhu wakiwa.and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.

32Mtume munhu yachole Yopa kwa munhu yokemigwa Simoni Petulo. Kokala mwiikae ya Simoni muwamba ng'hwembe, kokala behi na Bahali.’Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’

33Avo bahaja niwatuma wanhu kumwako, na kutenda goya viwizile. Sambi wose twabaha haulongozi wa Mulungu, tobetela kuhulika mbuli yoyose yakulagize Mndewa ulonge.”So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”

34Baho Petulo kasonga kulonga, “Sambi nojuwa kweli Mulungu hambagula munhu yoyose.Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,

35Wose womgwaa ukulu na kutenda ganogile kowatogola, hatonga wolawa isi gani.but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.

36Muujuwa usenga uyaugalile kwa wanhu wa Izilaeli, kuwapetela wanhu Mbuli Inogile igala tindiwalo kubitila Yesu Kilisito yeli Mndewa wa wanhu wose.He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

37Muzijuwa mbuli ng'hulu zitendeke mwiisi yose ya Wayahudi, kusongela Galilaya, Yohana viyamalile kuwapetela wanhu usenga wake wa ubatizo.You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:

38Mumjuwa Mulungu viyamsagule Yesu wa Nazaleti kwa kumgwaa Loho Yang'alile na udahi. Kila hanhu hayacholile katenda ganogile na kuwahonya wanhu wose wakalile mmakono ga Mwenembago, kwavija Mulungu kakala nayo.how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

39Tweye tuchona kila kinhu kiyatendile mwiisi ya Wayahudi na Yelusalemu. Abaho wamkoma kwa kumuwamba mumsalaba.We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,

40Lakini siku ya kadatu Mulungu kamzilibula kulawa kwa wafile na kamtenda yaoneke,God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—

41siyo kwa kila munhu, lakini kwa waja wazonile mbuli azo, wasaguligwe mwaka na Mulungu, wao tweye tudile na kung'wa hamoja nayo viyazilibuke kulawa kwa wafile.not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.

42Katulagiza tuwapetela wanhu Mbuli Inogile na kuwalongela kamba Yesu iyo yasaguligwe na Mulungu kuwatagusa wanhu wagima na wafile.And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.

43Watula ndagu wose wa Mulungu walonga mbuli yake, walonga wanhu wose womtogola nzambi zao zogeligwa kumgongo kwa udahi wa twaga da Yesu.”All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”

44Petulo viyakalile yang'hali yolonga, Loho Yang'alile kawahumulukila wanhu wose wakalile womtegeleza.While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.

45Wayahudi wamtogole Yesu wezile kulawa Yopa hamoja na Petulo wakanganya viwone Mulungu vivija kawagwaa wanhu haweli Wayahudi nhunza ya Loho Yang'alile.All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

46Kwavija wawahulika wolonga kwa ulonzi wa sambi na kuutogola ukulu wa Mulungu. Petulo kawalongela,For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,

47“Wanhu wano wambokela Loho Yang'alile, kamba vitumbokele tweye. Vino munhu yoyose kodaha kuwagomesa sekewabatizigwe kwa mazi?”“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”

48Avo kalagiza wabatizigwe kwa twaga da Yesu Kilisito. Abaho wampula yakale nao kwa siku ndodo.So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
