Ngsäea Khut 10
1 Acunüng, Ketarih khawa Konelih ngming naki Romah cetca keptin veki, acun cun Itali yekap ngvai ami ti.
And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
2 Ani cun Pamhnam üng hlimtui lü, a ima vekie ami van naw Pamhnam kyühkie, mpyenkseki Judah khyange jah petmsawt lü aktäa ktaiyüki.
A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
3 Acuna, mhnüp mülam naji kthum bang üng, Pamhnama khankhawngsä mat law lü, “Konelih aw” ti lü ngkhü lawki cun angsing hmumkthehnak a hmuh.
This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him: Cornelius.
4 Acunüng, Konelih naw a kyühnak am bükteng lü, “Bawipa aw, ini?” a ti. Acunüng, ani naw, “Na ktaiyünak ja na petmsawte naw Pamhnam jesak se, Pamhnam naw na ktaiyünak ning msang khaia kyaki.
And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
5 “Tuhkbäih Jukpei mlüha khyang ja tüih lü khyang mat Sihmon Pita ngming naki jah khüsaka;
And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 savun pyangkia Sihmona veia kaiki ni, a im cun mliktui peia veki ni” a ti.
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
7 Acunüng, ngthuheipüikia khankhawngsä a ceh be ja, Konelih naw a mpya üngka nghngih ja, anglätse khüikie üngka Pamhnam üpnaki yekap mat khü lü;
And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.
8 ngthu a jah mtheh päng üng Jukpei mlüha a jah tüih.
To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
9 Angawi üng, ami ceh lam mlüh pei ami pha law hlü üng, Pita cun ktaiyü khaia im mkhyuma kaiki.
And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 A ei naw mcawi law se, bu ei law hlüki; cunsepi, a ei vai ami pawh k'um üng Mhnama mdannak a hmuh.
And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
11 Khankhaw nghmawng law lü jihnua mäiha kphyüa kitmaki mdeka kya lawse a hmuh.
And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
12 Acuna k'uma, khawmdek üng ngvak hükiea khisa avan ja khankhawa khae naküt vekie.
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
13 A veia kthai pha lawki cun, “Pita aw, tho law; ja hnim lü jah eia” a ti.
And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
14 Acunsepi, Pita naw, “Bawipa aw, acukba am kya; am ngcimcaiki ja mtüikheh i am ei khawi veng” a ti.
But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
15 Acunüng, Khana kthai naw anghnginaka, “Pamhnam naw a ngcimsak päng nang naw am ngcimcaiki käh tia” a ti.
And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
16 Acukba cia kthum vei ngdang law lü; acunüng acuna jiha mäih cun khankhawa a ju jäh law be.
And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17 Pita naw mdannak a hmuh cun asuilam am ksing lü ana ve k'um üng, Koneliha a tüiha khyange naw Sihmona a im ngthäh law u lü mkawt peia ngdüi lawki he.
Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon’s house, stood at the gate.
18 Sihmon Pita ngmingnaki khin cun, acua a pha ja am a pha ngpyang u lü ami ju kthäh.
And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 Acunüng, Pita naw mdannak a hmu cun, a ngaikyu hui üng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw a veia, “Ngaia, khyang kthum naw ning sui hü ve u.
And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20 Acunakyase, tho law lü ju kyuma, käh cücawn lü jah läka; anini cun keia jah tüih law ni” a ti.
Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Acunüng, Pita cun, acunea veia kyum lü ami veia, “Nami sui hü hin kei ni; ia phäha nami lawki ni?” a ti.
Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?
22 Amimi naw, “Konelih, yekap ngvai, khyang kdaw, Pamhnam kyühki, Judah khyange naküt üng ngming dawnak yaki naw a ima nang ning khü lü na ngthu pyen ngai khaia, Pamhnama khankhawngsä mat naw a mtheha kyaki” ami ti.
Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23 Pita naw, acuna khyange cun im k'uma ja luhpüi lü a jah khinnak. A ngawia Pita cun tho law lü ami veia cit se, Jukpei mlüha ka, jumeikie avange pi a veia cit hngakie.
Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.
24 Angawi be kce üng, Ketarih mlüha phakie. Acuia, Konelih naw a khyange ja a püie ja khü lü, anini cun ami jah na k'äih.
And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
25 Pita a pha law üng, Konelih naw ana dokham lü a khaw kunga mbawki.
And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.
26 Acunsepi, Pita naw ani cun mtho lü, “Ngdüia, kei pi nghngicima ni ka kya ve” a ti.
But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
27 A veia a ngthuhei maha va lut lü khyang khawha ana ve se a hmu.
And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 Ami veia, “Judah khyang naw khyangmjükce ngkhawtpüi lü ami veia a ceh hü vai käh nglawiki tia nami ksingki; acunsepi, ‘U pi am ngcim, phyawksak ve’ käh ka ti vaia, Pamhnam naw na mtheh pängki ni.
And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.
29 Acunakyase, na na khü law ja, käh dam lü ka lawkia kyaki. Acunakyase ka ning jah kthäh khai, “Ia phäha nami na khü lawki ni?” a ti.
For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?
30 Konelih naw, “Ahin kcün mhnüp kthum anghjawk üng, ka ima naji kthum üng ka ktaiyü k'um üng; khyang mat suisak bawk suisa lü, ka maa ngdüi lawki naw,
And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:
31 ‘Konelih aw, na ktaiyünak Pamhnam naw ngja ve, na petmsawt ja na bilawh naküt pi Pamhnam naw ksing ve.
Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 Acunakyase, Jukpei mlüha khyang tüi lü Sihmon, Pita ami ti cun, na veia khüa; ani cun mliktui pei, savun pyangki Sihmona ima kaiki ni’ a ti.
Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
33 Acunakyase, na veia khyang angxita ka tüih lawa kyaki; na law hin daw ve. Acunakyase, Bawipa naw ngthu aning mtheh naküt ngai khaia, atuh Pamhnama hmuha kami van hin üng kami veki” a ti.
Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.
34 Pita naw pyen lü, “Pamhnam naw, khyang naküt atänga jah mceiki tia akcanga ka ksingki;
And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
35 acunsepi, au pi amät hjawkhah lü akdaw pawhkia khyang mjü naküt cun mkhawihnga lü jah dokhamki.
But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
36 “Ani naw, acuna ngthu cun nami ksingki, acun hin Jesuh Khritaw üngkhyüh dim’yenaka thangkdaw Isarel veia a peta kyaki. ‘Jesuh cun khyang naküta Bawia kyaki’ tia nami ksingki.
God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
37 Johan naw Baptican khamnaka mawng ngthu a pyen käna, Kalile üngkhyüh cutei lü Isarel khaw naküt üng ngthu ngthang hükia münkse bilawhnake cun nangmi naw pi nami ksingki;
You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,

Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 Judahea khaw ja Jerusalem mlüh a jah bilawh naküt kami saksinaki; ani cun kutlamktung üng taih u lü, ami hnim.
And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.
40 Pamhnam naw amhnüp thum üng mtho be lü a ngdangsak,
Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
41 acunsepi, khyang naküta veia am kya lü, keimie kami saksi khaia Pamhnam naw a jah xü, thihnak üngkhyüh a thawh be käna amät am atänga eiaw yüm khaia a jah mtheh ni.
Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;
42 Acuna Bawipa cun akthie ja akxüng hea khana ngthumkhyah khaia Pamhnam naw a mcawna kyaki tia, khyangea veia sang hü khaiea, jah ksing hüsak khaiea, Pamhnam naw ngthu a jah pet.
And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.
43 A u pi, ani jumeiki naküt, a ngminga phäha a mkhyekatnak mhlätnak yah khai tia, ania mawng cun sahmae naküt naw ami sang khawi ni” a ti.
To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
44 Pita naw acuna ngthu a pyen hui üng, ngthu ngjakie naküta khana, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim pha lawki.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
45 Pitaa veia law hngakie Judah jumeiki khyange naw, khyangmjükceea khana pi Pamhnam naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim a pha lawsak hmu u lü cäikie.
And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
46 Käh ksinga ngthu am ngthuhei u lü Pamhnam mhlünmtai u se, ami jah ksinga phäha kyaki. Acunüng, Pita naw jah msang lü,
For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
47 “Hine, mimi mäiha Ngmüimkhya Ngcim yah hngakie cun tui üng Baptican am khan khaiea, u naw a jah khyawh ni?” ti lü,
Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
48 Jesuh Khritawa ngming am Baptican khan khaiea a jah mtheh. Acun käna Pita cun ami veia asäng ve khaia ami nghuinak.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.
