⁹Mangwana mwace, mukhafamba iwo mbafika cifupi na nzinda, Pedhru akwira padzulu pa nyumba toera kuphembera, cifupi na ndzidzi wa masikati. ¹⁰Iye abva njala mbafuna kudya, mbwenye mukhakhunganya iwo cakudya, aphatwa na masomphenya, ¹¹mbaona kudzulu kwafungulwa, na cinthu ninga nguwo ikulu mbiabuluka, mbiatcitiswa pantsi na makona acie manai. ¹²M'kati mwace mukhali na pinyama pya miyendo minai pya mitundu yonsene, na pyakukwakwaira pya pantsi, na mbalame za m'mwamba.

¹⁴Mbwenye Pedhru alonga kuti: “Nkhabe tayu, Mbuya; thangwi nee ndadyapo cinthu cakuipa peno cakukhonda kucena.”

¹⁵Fala yabwera pontho kuna iye, kaciwiri: “Pidacenesa Ine, leka kupicemera pyakuipa.”

¹⁶Pyenepi pyacitika katatu, na mwakucimbiza nguwo ineyi yakwatwa kuenda kudzulu.

¹⁷Mukhadzudzumika Pedhru thangwi ya mabvekero a masomphenya anewa, mwakusandukira amuna adatumwa na Korneliyu, pidamala iwo kubvundza njira ya kunyumba kwa Simau, aima pansuwo, ¹⁸mbakhuwa mbabvundza khala Simau anacemerwa Pedhru akhali kumbo kweneko.

¹⁹Mukhanyerezera Pedhru pya masomphenya anewa, Nzimu Wakucena ampanga: “Amuna atatu ali kukusaka. ²⁰Lamuka, tcita pantsi, uende nawo mwakukhonda kupenula, thangwi ndine ndaatuma iwo.”

²¹Pedhru atcita kuna amuna anewa mbalonga kuti: “Ine ndine ule anamusaka imwe. Mwabwera thangwi yanji?”

²²Iwo atawira: “Korneliyu, nkulu wa anyankhondo dzana, munthu wakulungama, anagopa Baba wathu, wakulemedzwa na mbumba yonsene ya Ayuda, apangwa na anju wakucena toera kukucemeresa kunyumba kwace na kubva pinafuna imwe kulonga.” ²³Natenepo aacemera mbapita n'kati mbaatambira ninga alendo. Mangwana mwace abuluka pabodzi nawo, mbaperekwa na abale anango a ku Yopa.

²⁴Mangwana mwace apita mu Sezareya. Korneliyu, mbakhadikhira iwo, akhadagumanya acibale ace na axamwali ace a pantima. ²⁵Pidapita Pedhru, Korneliyu agumanana naye mbagwa pa miyendo yace mbamulambira. ²⁶Mbwenye Pedhru amulamusa, mbalonga kuti: “Lamuka! Inembo ndine munthu basi.” ²⁷Mukhalonga iye na Korneliyu, Pedhru apita n'kati mbagumana anthu azinji akhadagumanyikana. ²⁸Iye aapanga: “Imwe mwekha musadziwa kuti nkhabe tawirisika kwa Myuda kucita uxamwali peno kucedzera munthu wa dziko inango. Mbwenye Baba wathu andipangiza kuti ndikhonde kucemera munthu wiri na wiri kuti ngwakuipa peno ngwakukhonda kucena. ²⁹Natenepo, mudandicemeresa, ndabwera mwakukhonda kukhonda. Cincino, mwandicemeresa thangwi yanji?”

³⁰Korneliyu alonga kuti: “Ntsiku zinai zidapita, pa ndzidzi ninga uno, ora yacitatu ya masikati, ndikhaphembera n'nyumba mwanga, na mwakusandukira mamuna wakubvala nguwo zakung'azima aima pamaso panga, ³¹mbalonga kuti: ‘Korneliyu, phembero yako yabvekwa na miyoni yako kuna anyakutcerenga yakumbukwa pamaso pa Baba wathu. ³²Natenepo tuma anthu ku Yopa ucemerese Simau, anadziwika na dzina ya Pedhru. Iye ali kumbo kwa Simau nyakusasanya makanda, m'mphepete mwa bara.’ ³³Natenepo ndakucemeresani mwakucimbiza, pontho mwacita padidi kubwera. Cincino ife tonsene tiri pano pamaso pa Mulungu, toera kubva pyonsene pidakupangani Mbuya.”

³⁴Pedhru atoma kulonga: “Ndimo mwene ndisaona kuti Baba wathu nkhabe kuona nkhope za anthu, ³⁵mbwenye mu dziko iriyonsene, munthu onsene ule anan'gopa mbacita pyakulungama, ndi wakutambirika kuna Iye. ³⁶Iye atumiza fala yace kuna Aizarayeli, mbadziwisa Mphangwa Zadidi za ntendere kubulukira mwa Yezu Kirixtu—Iye ndi Mbuya wa pyonsene. ^c c v36 Pedhru asacemera Yezu kuti “Mbuya wa pyonsene” — Mwana adalamuka muli akufa asatonga pa madziko onsene, ndi thangwi yace Mphangwa Zadidi cincino zisafika kuna anthu a madziko anango. ³⁷Imwe mwekha musadziwa pidacitika mu Yudeya yonsene, mbipitoma ku Galileya pakumala ubatizo udadziwisa Juwau: ³⁸kuti Baba wathu adzodza Yezu wa ku Nazarete na Nzimu Wakucena na mphambvu, kuti iye akhafamba mbacita pyadidi na kuwangisa onsene akhatambudzwa na Dyabu, thangwi Baba wathu akhali pabodzi na iye. ^d d v38 Pano Anthu Atatu asaoneka pabodzi: Baba wathu asadzodza Yezu Mwana na Nzimu Wakucena na mphambvu. ³⁹Ife ndife mboni za pyonsene pidacita iye mu dziko ya Ayuda na mu Yerusalema—iwo ampha, mbanmanika pa muti, ⁴⁰mbwenye Baba wathu amulamusa pa ntsiku yacitatu mbancitisa kuoneka, ⁴¹nee kuna anthu onsene, mbwenye kuna ife, mboni zidasankhula Baba wathu kale, ife adadya na kumwa pabodzi na iye pakumala kwace kulamuka muli akufa. ⁴²Iye atipanga toera kumwaza mphangwa kuna anthu na kupereka umboni kuti: Baba wathu ansankhula iye toera kukhala ntongi wa anthu amaso na akufa. ⁴³Kuna iye aprofeta onsene asapereka umboni kuti munthu onsene anankhulupira anatambira kulekererwa kwa madawo kubulukira mu dzina yace.”

⁴⁴Mukhalonga Pedhru pinthu pyenepi, Nzimu Wakucena agwa pa onsene akhabva fala. ⁴⁵Akhulupiri akusidzidwa adabwera na Pedhru adzumatirwa thangwi muoni wa Nzimu Wakucena wathululirwa na pa anthu a madziko anango. ⁴⁶Thangwi iwo akhaabva mbalonga pilongero pyakusiyana-siyana na kusimba Baba wathu. Penepo Pedhru alonga kuti,

⁴⁷“Kodi pana munthu anakwanisa kukhondesa madzi toera kubatiza anthu awa, adatambira Nzimu Wakucena ninga ife?” ⁴⁸Iye atonga toera abatizwe mu dzina ya Yezu Kirixtu. Penepo iwo amphemba toera akhale nawo ntsiku zizinji.
