1 Te vaengah Kaiserea kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Kornelius, Italian caem la a khue khuikah rhalboei te om.
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
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 devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed 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.
At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to 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.
He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
5 Te dongah Joppa la hlang pahoi tueih lamtah Simon Peter la a khue hlang pakhat te tah laeh.
Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
6 Anih te tuipuei kaengkah im aka om maehpho Simon taengah pah lah ko,” a ti nah.
He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
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.
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
8 Amih te a soep la a uen phoeiah Joppa la a tueih.
Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
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.
Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
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.
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
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.
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
12 A khuiah diklai kah rhamsa boeih neh rhulcai khaw, vaan kah vaa khaw om.
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
13 Te vaengah, “Peter thoo, ngawn lamtah ca,” tila anih taengla ol halo pah.
A voice came to him, “Rise, 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, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or 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.
A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
16 Te tlam te voei thum a om phoeiah tah hno te vaan la vil a loh.
This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received 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 while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made enquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
18 Te vaengah pang uh tih, “Peter la a khue Simon te pah mai a he,” a ti uh.
and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
19 Peter khaw mangthui dongkah te a poek li vaengah Mueihla loh, “Hlang pathum loh nang n'toem uh ke.
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
20 Thoo, suntla lamtah boelhkhoeh kolla amih taengah cet laeh. Kai long ni amih kan tueih,” a ti nah.
But arise, get 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.
Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you 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.
They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
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.
So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa 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.
On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25 Peter ham pha tih a kun vaengah amah te Kornelius loh a doe. A kho kungah a bakop thil tih a bawk.
When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 Tedae Peter loh anih te a thoh tih, “Thoo, kai kamah khaw hlang van ni,” a ti nah.
But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
27 Anih te a voek tih a kun vaengah muep a tingtun uh a hmuh.
As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered 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.
He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy 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.
Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send 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,
Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
31 Kornelius, na thangthuinah te ka hnatun uh tih na doedannah loh Pathen hmaiah a poek coeng.
and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered 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 Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
33 Te dongah amih te nang taengla tlek kan tueih. Nang long khaw a thenla 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.
Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
34 Te dongah Peter loh a ka a ong tih, “Pathen loh tangyahnah a khueh pawt te oltak la ka pom coeng.
Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favouritism;
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 who fears him and works righteousness 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.
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, proclaiming good news of peace by Yeshua the Messiah—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 yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the immersion which Yochanan preached;

how God anointed Yeshua of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who 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.
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the countryside of Judea and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
40 Anih te Pathen loh a thum hnin ah a thoh tih a phoe sak la om coeng.
God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
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 who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose 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.
He commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and 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.
All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
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 still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who 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.
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
46 Amih kah ol a thui uh te a yaak uh vaengah Pathen te a oep uh.
For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
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.
“Can anyone forbid these people from being immersed with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
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.
He commanded them to be immersed in the name of Yeshua the Messiah. Then they asked him to stay some days.
