Caeltueih 10
1 Te vaengah Kaiserea kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Kornelius, Italian caem la a khue khuikah rhalboei te om.
And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
2 Anih te cuep tih a imko boeih loh Pathen a rhih. Pilnam taengah doedannah muep a saii tih Pathen taengah a yoeyah la thangthui.
A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
3 Hnin at tah khonoek pako tluk vaengah a mangthui ah a hmuh. Te vaengah Pathen kah puencawn te anih taengla kun tih, “Kornelius,” a ti nah.
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 Anih te a hmaitang vaengah lakueng ngaiha la om tih, “Balae aka om Boeipa,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te, “Na thangthuinah neh na doedannah loh Pathen hmaiah kutmuei la cet coeng.
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 Te dongah Joppa la hlang pahoi tueih lamtah Simon Peter la a khue hlang pakhat te tah laeh.
And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 Anih te tuipuei kaengkah im aka om maehpho Simon taengah pah lah ko,” a ti nah.
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
7 Anih aka voek puencawn te a caeh van phoeiah tah imkhut rhoi neh amah aka khuituk rhoek khuikah aka cuep rhalkap te a khue.
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 Amih te a soep la a uen phoeiah Joppa la a tueih.
To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
9 A vuen ah amih te cet uh tih kho a yoei thuem kah khonoek parhuk tluk vaengah Peter tah thangthui ham imphu la yoeng.
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 Te vaengah a pongnaeng la om tih caak ten ham khaw a ngaih. Tedae a tawn uh vaengah anih te amih taengah mueimang a om pah.
And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
11 Te vaengah vaan ke ong uh tih hno pakhat loh a kil pali neh himbai len bangla ha suntla tih diklai la a colh te 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 A khuiah diklai kah rhamsa boeih neh rhulcai khaw, vaan kah vaa khaw om.
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
13 Te vaengah, “Peter thoo, ngawn lamtah ca,” tila anih taengla ol halo pah.
And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
14 Tedae Peter loh, “Moenih, Boeipa, tanghnong tangaih neh rhalawt la aka om boeih he ka caak moenih,” a ti nah.
But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
15 Tedae anih te a pabae kah ol bal loh, “Pathen loh a cim sak tangtae te nang loh poeih boeh,” a ti nah.
And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
16 Te tlam te voei thum a om phoeiah tah hno te vaan la vil a loh.
And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17 Te dongah mangthui a hmuh te metlam a om poek eh tila Peter loh a khuiah khobing. Te vaengah Kornelius loh a tueih tih Simon im aka toem hlang rhoek khaw vongka ah pakcak ha pai uh.
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 Te vaengah pang uh tih, “Peter la a khue Simon te pah mai a he,” a ti uh.
And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 Peter khaw mangthui dongkah te a poek li vaengah Mueihla loh, “Hlang pathum loh nang n'toem uh ke.
And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20 Thoo, suntla lamtah boelhkhoeh kolla amih taengah cet laeh. Kai long ni amih kan tueih,” a ti nah.
Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 A suntlak phoeiah hlang rhoek te Peter loh, “Na toem uh te kai ni he. Mebang paelnaehnah nen nim na pai uh te,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah amih loh, “Rhalboei Kornelius he hlang dueng la om tih Pathen a rhih dongah Judah namtu boeih long khaw a oep. Nang te amah im la tah tih nang lamkah olka hnatun sak ham hlangcim kah puencawn loh a mangthui coeng,” a ti uh.
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 Te dongah amih te a khue tih a pah sak. A vuen ah tah thoo tih amih taengla cet. Te vaengah Joppa lamkah manuca hlangvang rhoek loh anih te a puei uh.
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 A vuen patoeng bal vaengah Kaiserea la kun. Amih te Kornelius loh a lamso tih ana om coeng dongah a huiko neh paya tangkik te a hueh thil.
And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
25 Peter ham pha tih a kun vaengah amah te Kornelius loh a doe. A kho kungah a bakop thil tih a bawk.
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 Tedae Peter loh anih te a thoh tih, “Thoo, kai kamah khaw hlang van ni,” a ti nah.
But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
27 Anih te a voek tih a kun vaengah muep a tingtun uh a hmuh.
And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 Amih taengah khaw, “Judah hlang taengah kap tih kholong a paan vaengah a lolh la muep a om te na hmat uh. Tedae hlang te tanghnong neh rhalawt ti nah pawt ham Pathen loh kai n'tueng coeng.
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 Te dongah kai aka tah taengla hawt ka lo van. Tedae kan dawt mai eh mebang kawng nen lae kai nan tah uh,” a ti nah.
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 Te vaengah Kornelius loh, “Tahae duela hnin li khuiah khonoek pako kah thangthui neh ka im ah ka om. Te vaengah hlang pakhat loh a himbai cim thik la kai hmaiah pakcak pai tih,
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 Kornelius, na thangthuinah te ka hnatun uh tih na doedannah loh Pathen hmaiah a poek coeng.
Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 Te dongah Joppa la hlang tueih lamtah, Peter la a khue Simon te khue laeh. Anih te tuipuei kah maehpho Simon im ah pah,’ 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 Te dongah amih te nang taengla tlek kan tueih. Nang long khaw a then la na saii tih, na pawk coeng. Boeipa loh nang ng'uen boeih te yaak hamla kaimih boeih loh Pathen hmaiah ka phoe uh van coeng,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah Peter loh a ka a ong tih, “Pathen loh tangyahnah a khueh pawt te oltak la ka pom coeng.
And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
35 Tedae namtom boeih khuiah amah aka rhih tih duengnah aka saii rhoek tah amah kah a uem la om.
But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
36 Ol te Israel ca rhoek taengah a tah tih Jesuh Khrih rhangneh rhoepnah a phong. Anih tah a cungkuem kah Boeipa la a om te na ming uh.
God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
37 Judea tom ah olthang he om coeng. Johan loh a hoe Baptistma hnukah Galilee lamloh a tong coeng.
You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
38 Nazareth lamkah Jesuh te Pathen loh Mueihla Cim neh thaomnah neh a koelh. Anih tah tlangnaem tlangphai la pongpa tih Pathen loh anih taengah a om puei dongah rhaithae kah a phaep rhoek khaw boeih a hoeih sak.
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 Te dongah kaimih tah a cungkuem kah laipai rhoek ni. Te te Judah kho neh Jerusalem ah khaw a saii. Tedae amah te a ngawn uh tih thing dongah a hoei uh.
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 Anih te Pathen loh a thum hnin ah a thoh tih a phoe sak la om coeng.
Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
41 Pilnam boeih taengah pawt tih Pathen kah a hmoel laipai rhoek taengah phoe coeng. Duek lamkah a thoh phoeiah anih loh mamih m'vael puei tih mamih loh anih n'ok puei uh.
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 Hlang duek hlang hing kah laitloekkung la Pathen loh anih a hmoel te pilnam taengah hoe tih uen ham mamih ng'uen.
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 Tonghma rhoek boeih loh anih te a oep. Amah aka tangnah boeih tah a ming neh tholh khodawkngainah a dang,” a ti nah.
To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
44 Peter kah a thui ol te a pangthuem vaengah ol aka hnatun rhoek boeih khaw Mueihla Cim loh a tlak thil.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
45 Namtom rhoek te Cim Mueihla kah kutdoe loh a suntlak thil van vaengah, yahvinrhetnah neh uepom Peter aka puei boeih khaw limlum uh.
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 Amih kah ol a thui uh te a yaak uh vaengah Pathen te a oep uh.
For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
47 Te dongah Peter loh, “Kaimih van bangla Mueihla Cim aka dang amih he nuem pawt ham u long khaw tui hloh thai mahpawh,” a ti.
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 Te dongah amih te Jesuh Khrih ming ah nuem ham a uen. Te phoeiah khohnin a yol khaw om ham anih te a hloep uh.
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.
