Cei 10
1 Kaiserea khaw awhkaw thlang pynoet, Kornelia ak mingnaak ce awm nawh, anih taw Italy qalkap zakhat ak ukkung na awm hy.
Now there was a certain man in Cesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion that called the Italian Band,
2 Anih taw a ipkhui kaw boeih ing Khawsa kqih unawh amik bawk thlangkhqi na awm uhy; ak voet ak hlauh thlangkhqi ce bawm khqi nawh Khawsa venawh ak cykcah poepa thlang na awm hy.
a man of piety, and one that feared God, with all his house; giving, also, much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
3 Hypoet awhtaw khawngkeng khawnoek pakthum a pha awh hatnaak ik-oeih hu hy. Khawsa ak khan ceityih ce law nawh a venawh, “Konelia!” tina hy.
He evidently saw, in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius!
4 Konelia ing ak kqih doena toek ceet hy. “Bawipa ikaw?” tinawh doet hy. Khan ceityih ing, “Nak cykcahnaak ingkaw khawdeng hahqahkhqi na do na dannaak ce Khawsa haiawh simpoenaak ham pha hawh hy.
And having fixed his eyes upon him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms are come up, as a memorial before God.
5 Piter tinawh amik khy Simon ce khy tlaih aham tuh Joppa khaw na thlang tyi lah.
And now send men to Joppa and bring hither Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 Anih ce mehvyn ak khquikung Simon a im awh awm hy, anih a im taw tuicunli a keng awh awm hy, tina hy.
he lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.
7 A venawh awi ak kqawnkung khan ceityih ce a ceh coengawh Konelia ing a tyihzawih thlang pakkhih ingkaw a tyihzawih awi ak ngai qalkap pynoet ce khy hy.
As soon as the messenger, who spoke to Cornelius, was gone, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, of them that waited upon him;
8 Ik-oeih a huh ingkaw ang zaak khqi boeih ce ak kqawn peek coengawh Joppa khaw na cekkhqi ce tyi hy.
and having related to them all these things, he sent them to Joppa.
9 A khawngawi nyn awh cet unawh khawk bau ami pha tawm khawnghyp awh lam na ce, Piter taw iptih na cykcah aham kai hy.
On the next day, while they were on their journey, and drew near the city, Peter went up to the top of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 Cawh ak phoen cawi nawh ai kawi pynoet oet ai aham ngaih hy, buh ami lawh peek li awh, huh saknaak ik-oeih ce hu hy.
And he was hungry, and would have taken a little refreshment; but while they were preparing, he fell into an ecstasy;
11 Khan ak awng qu ce hu nawh hi a kil pupthli awh khan nakawng ik-oeih anuk thlaak law peek ce hu hy.
and he saw heaven opened, and something descending like a great sheet, fastened at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Ce ak khuiawh ce khaw pupthli ak law qamsa soepkep ce awm nawh, dek awh ak cawlh ak tat ingkaw khan nakaw ak ding phakhqi awm awm hy.
in which there were all sorts of things, even four-footed animals of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air.
13 Cawh awi ing a venawh, “Piter tho, him nawhtaw ai,” tina hy.
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter, kill, and eat.
14 Piter ing, “Am ai hly nyng, Bawipa! Amak ciimcaih ingkaw tuih ak cu ikawm am ai khawi nyng,” tina hy.
But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eat anything which is common or unclean.
15 Awi ing a hih voeinaak awh, “Khawsa ing a ciim sak ce nang ing am ciim hy koeh ti,” tina hy.
And the voice said to him again, the second time, Those things which God has cleansed, do not you call common.
16 Vemyihna thum voei dy a awm coengawh, hi ce khawk khan na dawh pe hy.
And this was done three times, and the sheet was taken up again into heaven.
17 Piter ing cawhkaw ik-oeih a huh ce ikaw hy voei nu, tinawh ak poek huiawh, Konelia ak thlang tyihkhqi ing Simon a im ce hu unawh vawng chawmkeng awh ce dyi uhy.
While Peter was pondering in himself, what the vision, which he had seen, might import; behold, the men, who were sent from Cornelius, having inquired out the house of Simon, stood at the door;
18 Piter tinawh amik khy, Simon ce im awh ak awm nu tinawh doet uhy.
and calling, they asked, if Simon, whose surname was Peter, lodged there.
19 Piter ing a them huh ce anak poek huiawh, Myihla ing a venawh, “Simon, thlang pakthum ing nang ni sui uhy.
Now, as Peter was reflecting on this vision; the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men are inquiring for you:
20 Cedawngawh tho nawhtaw ipkai na nuk kqum lah. Cekkhqi hu awh bat aham koeh tawngaa, kai ing ni cekkhqi ce ka tyih law hy,” tina hy.
arise, therefore, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them.
21 Piter ce nuk kqum nawh cekkhqi venawh, “Nangmih ing nami sui ce kai ni. Ikaw cainaak ing nami aw?” tinak khqi hy.
Then Peter went down to the men, who were sent to him from Cornelius, and said, Behold, I am the man whom you seek; what is the cause of your coming?
22 Cekkhqi ing, “Kaimih ve qalkap zakhat ukkung Kornelia a im awhkawng law unyng. Anih taw thlakdyng ingkaw Khawsa ak kqih thlang na awm hy, cedawngawh Juda thlangkhqi boeih ing anih ve kqihchah uhy. Nang ak awihkqawn ngai aham khan ceityih ciim pynoet ing nang khy aham kqawn pehy,” tina uhy.
And they said, Cornelius, the centurion, a righteous man, who fears God, and has a character attested by all the Jewish people, has been instructed, by a holy messenger, to send for you to his house, and to hear words from you.
23 Cawh Piter ing cekkhqi ce ipkhui na khy nawh pah sak hy. Cedawngawh a khawngawi nyn awh tho nawh cekkhqi mi cet haih uhy, Joppa khaw awhkaw koeinaakhqi awm cet lawt uhy.
Having, therefore, called them in, he entertained them, and the next day set out with them: and some of the brethren, who were of Joppa, went with him.
24 A khawngawi nyn awh Kaiserea khaw ce pha uhy. Kornelia ing anih ce a na lamtoen nawh a cakaw paqengkhqi ingkaw a pyipawkhqi boeih ce kutoet na khy khqi hy.
And the next day they entered into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate friends.
25 Piter ce ipkhui na a lut awh, Kornelia ing do nawh a khawkung awh kqihchahnaak ing khuksym pehy.
Now, as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and prostrating himself at his feet, made obeisance.
26 Cehlai Piter ing thawh sak tlaih nawh “Kai awm thlanghqing lawt ni,” tina hy.
But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also am a man.
27 Awi anik kqawn coengawh Piter ce ipkhui na lut nawh cawh ipkhui na thlang khawzah ak awm ce hu hy.
And discoursing with him, he went in, and found many gathered together.
28 Cekkhqi venawh: “Juda thlang ingkaw Gentel thlang awm haih aham am ciim hy tice sim uhyk ti; cehlai u awm ciimcaih hy, am ciimcaih hy, niti kawi am ni tice Khawsa ing ni sim sak hy.
And he said to them, You know that it is unlawful for a man that is a Jew to join with, or to come into the house of, one of another nation; nevertheless, God has shown me that I am to call no man common or unclean.
29 Ce a dawngawh thlang na minik khy law sak awhkawng a oelh kana law nyng. Cehlai ni doet khqi nyng, ikaw ham nanu nami nik khy?” tinak khqi hy.
Wherefore, when I was sent for, I came without debate: I ask, therefore, on what account you have sent for me?
30 Cawh Korelia ing, “Ni hu hitphli awh ce, ve atym khawngkeng khawnoek pakthum awh ka mah a im awh cykcah nyng. Cawh hi ak vang soeih ak bai thlang pynoet ce ka haiawh dyi nawh,
And Cornelius said, Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright raiment,
31 ka venawh, “Kornelia, nak cyhcahnaak ce sim peekna awm nawh, thlang venawh na them peek awm Khawsa ing sim hawh hy.
and said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are remembered before God:
32 Ceamyihna awmsaw Joppa khaw na thlang tyi nawhtaw Piter ak mingnaak Simon ce khy sak. Anih ce tuicunli a kengawh ak awm, mehvyn ak khquikung, Simon a im awh khin na awm hy,” ni tina hy.
send, therefore, to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodges in the house of one Simon, a tanner, by the seaside; who, when he is come, shall speak to you.
33 Cedawngawh thlang tyi lawk tlang nyng, law tiksaw leek soeih hy. Tuh Bawipa ing kaimih a venawh anik kqawn sak khqi boeih ce ngai aham Khawsa haiawh cun law boeih unyng,” tina hy.
Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and you have done well in coming. Now, therefore, we are all here present before God, to hear all things which God has given to you in charge.
34 Cekcoengawh taw Piter ing awih kqawnnaak ce kqan hy, “Khawsa ing u a hai awm am toek hy tice tuh sim hawh nyng,
Then Peter, opening his mouth, said, Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons;
35 amah ak kqih ingkaw ak thymna bi ak sai qampum awhkaw thlang boeih ce do hy.
but, in every nation, he that fears him, and works of righteousness, is acceptable to him.
36 Israel thlangkhqi venawh Khawsa ing awi pehy, thlang boeih a boei, Jesu Khrih ak caming ngaihqepnaak awithang leek ak kqawn peek ce nangmih ing sim uhyk ti.
This is that message which he sent to the children of Israel; proclaiming the glad tidings of peace by Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37 Johan ing baptisma ak khypyi coengawh, Kalili qam awhkawng kqan nawh Judah qam pum awhkaw ik-oeih ak awm ce –
You know the report there was, through all Judea, which began from Galilee, after the immersion which John preached,
38 Khawsa ing Ciim Myihla thaawmnaak ing Nazareth Jesu a sypnaak akawng ingkaw Khawsa ingqawi a awm haih a dawngawh, qaaiche ak thaawmnaak ak kaiawh ak awmkhqi ce qoei sak nawh them leek a saikhqi ce sim uhyk ti.
concerning Jesus of Nazareth; how God anointed him 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 Judakhqi qam ingkaw Jerusalem khaw khuiawh a sai ik-oeihkhqi boeih ak simpyikung dyihthing na kaimih ve awm unyng. Anih ce thing awh tai unawh him uhy,
And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem: whom they slew, hanging him on a tree.
40 cehlai Khawsa ing anih ce thihnaak awhkawng am thum nyn awh thawh sak tlaih nawh thlang a huh awh dang sak hy.
This very person God raised up, on the third day, and granted him to become manifest;
41 Thlang boeih ing anih ce am hu hy, cehlai Khawsa amah ing ak tyh oepchoeh dyihthing na ak awm, thihnaak awhkawng a thawh coengawh amah ingqawi buh a an ak ai haih kaimih ing hu unyng.
not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who have eat and drunk with him after he arose from the dead.
42 Thlak hqing ingkaw thlak thi awideng aham anih doeng ni Khawsa ing a caksak hy, tice khypyi aham ingkaw sim sak aham kaimih ve awi ni pek khqi hy.
And he has given in charge to us to proclaim to the people, and to testify that it is he who is appointed by God, to be the judge of the living and the dead.
43 U awm amah ce ak cangnaak thlang boeih ing amah ang ming ak caming thawlh qeenkhaw ngainaak hu kaw, tice tawnghakhqi boeih ing anak kqawn hawh uhy,” tinak khqi hy.
To him all the prophets bear witness, that every one who believes on him, shall receive forgiveness of sins by his name.
44 Piter ing ve ak awikhqi ve ak kqawn li awh, awi ak zakhqi boeih ak khan awh Ciim Myihla ce law hy.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were hearing the word:
45 Gentelkhqik khan awh awm Ciim Myihla kutdo ce syp sihna a awm awh Piter ingkaw amik law haih chahhui ak qeet ak cangnaak thlangkhqi ce amik kawpoek kyi hy.
and they of the circumcision, who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished that the gift of the Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also:
46 Cekkhqi ing amsim awi na pau unawh, Khawsa a mim kyihcah ce a ming zaak awh a mingngaihna kyi hy. Cekcoengawh Piter ing,
for they heard them speaking in diverse languages, and glorifying God.
47 “U ing nu vekkhqi ve tui ing baptisma ama peek aham a kham peek thai kaw? Kaimih ing ka mi huh lawt amyihna a mingmih ingawm Ciim Myihla ve hu hawh lawt uhy,” tina hy.
Then Peter answered, Can any one forbid water, that these persons should not be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
48 Cekcoengawh cekkhqi ce Jesu Khrih ang ming ing baptisma huh aham awi pehy. Cekkhqi ce khawnghi iqyt nu awm pyi cang aham Piter a venawh thoeh uhy.
And he ordered them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. And they entreated him to continue with them several days.
