Sawltakte 10
1 Caesarea khua ah Cornelius a kici khat om hi, ama sia Italy ngalkap hon, a kici ngalkap zakhat uk ngalkapmang a hihi,
Now there was a certain man in Cesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion that called the Italian Band,
2 Ama sia biakna sang ah a kipia khat hi a, a innkuan bup taw Pathian zakta, mizawng te huna tampi pia a, tatsat ngawl in Pathian tung ah thu a ngen pa a hihi.
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 Nitak nai thum kiim pawl in a thiangtak in a mangmuna sung ah, Pathian vantungmi khat a kung ah hongpai a, Cornelius, ci in sam hi.
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 Tua vantungmi laukawm in en a, bang thu ziam, Topa? ci hi. Vantungmi in, na thungetna te le mizawngte na hu nate Pathian mai ah theng a, Pathian in hong ciamte hi.
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 Tu in mihing pawlkhat Joppa ah paisak in, Simon Peter kici pa samsak tan.
And now send men to Joppa and bring hither Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 Ama sia tuipi hui ah a teang savun vawt Simon inn ah zintung hi: hi Simon inn sia tuihui ah om a, ama in na vawt tu a kiphu te hong son tu hi, ci hi.
he lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.
7 Cornelius a paupui vantungmi a heakkik zawkciang in, a naseam ni le biakna sang ki pia a, tatsat ngawl in ama a cing ngalkap khat sam hi;
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 Hi thu te theampo a son zawkciang in, Joppa ah paisak hi.
and having related to them all these things, he sent them to Joppa.
9 A zingciang in, amate khual a haw uh laitak, Joppa a thet dektak uh ciang, Peter sia sun nai sawmleni kiim pawl in, inn tung ah thungen tu in kato hi:
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 Peter sia a ngilkial mama a, an ne nuam napi: an neak tu a vawt laitak in mangmu hi.
And he was hungry, and would have taken a little refreshment; but while they were preparing, he fell into an ecstasy;
11 Van kihong a, puan a ki pheak kingli nei a lian mama na koina taw akibang khat leitung ama kung ah hong ki khiasuk mu hi:
and he saw heaven opened, and something descending like a great sheet, fastened at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 A sung ah peang li nei nganhing a tatuam, sapi te, a bokvak te le van a leang vacim te om hi.
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 Aw khat in ama tung ah, Peter awng; tho in, ngo in a, ne in, ci hi.
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter, kill, and eat.
14 Ahihang Peter in, hi ngawl hi, Topa awng; banghangziam cile a nin le a thiangtho ngawl te ne ngei ngawl khi hi, ci hi.
But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eat anything which is common or unclean.
15 Pathian in a thianthosak te nin hi ci heak in, taciang tua aw in a nivei na son thua hi.
And the voice said to him again, the second time, Those things which God has cleansed, do not you call common.
16 Hisia thumvei dong tabang in vawt hi: taciang tua na koina sia van ah ki lato kik hi.
And this was done three times, and the sheet was taken up again into heaven.
17 Peter in hi mangmuna a mu sia a khiakna a lungman laitak in, en vun, Cornelius kung pan a paisak te in Simon inn zong in kongbiang mai ah ding uh hi.
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 Taciang a sap zawkciang in, Peter a kici Simon sia hiak ah hong tung ziam, ci in dong uh hi.
and calling, they asked, if Simon, whose surname was Peter, lodged there.
19 Peter in tua mangmuna thu a ngaisut laitak in, Thaa in, en in, mihing thum in nang hong zong hi.
Now, as Peter was reflecting on this vision; the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men are inquiring for you:
20 Tua ahikom tho in a, tuaksuk in, bangma lungmang heak in, banghangziam cile amate sia keima i sawl a hihi, ci hi.
arise, therefore, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them.
21 Tua zawkciang in Peter sia Cornelius i sawl te kung ah tuaksuk a, en vun, na zon uh sia keima khi hi: banghang in hongpai nu ziam? ci hi.
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 Amate in, ngalkap zakhat uk ngalkap mangpa, mi thutang, Pathian a zakta le Judah minam theampo sung ah minpha, Cornelius in Pathian kung pan kidop piakna thu theng a, a thiangtho vantungmi in ama inn ah hongsawl tu hi, taciang na thu ngai tu hi, ci hi.
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 Tua zawkciang in Peter in amate sia innsung ah sam a, zan taam hi. Taciang a zingciang in Peter sia amate taw pai khawm a, Joppa ah suapui te in zong zui uh hi.
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 zingciang in amate sia Caesarea ah tum uh hi. Taciang Cornelius in a mealheak te le a lawmte kaikhawm khol in ngak tek uh hi.
And the next day they entered into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate friends.
25 Peter a tum ciang in, Cornelius in muak a, a peang ah kun in bia hi.
Now, as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and prostrating himself at his feet, made obeisance.
26 Ahihang Peter in ama kaito a, ding in; keima zong mihing ma khi hi, ci hi.
But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also am a man.
27 Peter in a paupui kawm in innsung ah tum uh ha, a pai tam mama mu hi.
And discoursing with him, he went in, and found many gathered together.
28 Peter in amate tung ah, Judah mi khat mi namdang te taw ki thawl tu, a hibale, a kung ah pai tu sia ngeina om ngawl hi, ci na he tek uh hi; ahihang khatpo sia a nin, a hibale, a thiangtho ngawl, kici ngawl tu in Pathian in hong lak zo hi.
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 Tua ahikom note kung ah hong sawl pociang, nial ngawl in kongpai hi: tua ahikom bang deina atu in hong sam nu ziam? ci kong dong hi, ci hi.
Wherefore, when I was sent for, I came without debate: I ask, therefore, on what account you have sent for me?
30 Taciang Cornelius in, a bosa ni li lai in hi hun ciang dong an ka tang a; nitak nai thum ciang in ka innsung ah thungen khi hi, taciang, en in, puan pak sil mikhat ka mai ah hong ding a,
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 Cornelius awng, Pathian in na thungetna hong za zo hi, mizawng te na hu nate ciamte hi.
and said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are remembered before God:
32 Tua ahikom Peter a kici Simon sia hiak ah sam tu in Joppa ah mi sawl in; ama sia tuihui ah savun vawtpa Simon inn ah tung hi: taciang hongpai ciang in ama in thu hong hil tu hi, ci hong son hi.
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 Tua ahikom tasia pociang in na kung ah mi hongpaisak khi hi; taciang nongpai man in pha hi. Tua ahikom tu in Pathian kung pan na thupiak theampo ngai tu in, ka vekpi in hi mun Pathian mai ah om khawm khu hi, ci hi.
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 Tua zawkciang in Peter in a kam hong a, Pathian sia mi doidan nei ngawl hi, a ci thuman sia ka he hi:
Then Peter, opening his mouth, said, Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons;
35 Ahihang Ama a zakta te le thutanna a vawt minam peuma sia Pathian in sang hi.
but, in every nation, he that fears him, and works of righteousness, is acceptable to him.
36 Na theampo i Topa: Jesus Christ tungtawn in a ki pualak kilemna thu sia Pathian in Israel te kung ah paisak hi:
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 Tua thu ka sonna sia note in na he uh a, tuiphumna a man ciang in John in pualak hi, taciang Galilee pan kipan a, Judah ngamsung theampo ah tangko hi;
You know the report there was, through all Judea, which began from Galilee, after the immersion which John preached,
38 Nazareth mi Jesus sia Pathian in Tha Thiangtho le vangletna taw sathau buak hi: napha vawt in pai a, doai i nencip te theampo damsak hi; banghangziam cile Ama sia Pathian in ompui hi.
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 Kote sia Jerusalem pan kipan in Judah ngamsung ah a vawt theampo sung ah, a tetti te ka hi uh hi; amate in Jesus sia that uh a, thing tung ah khai uh hi:
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 Pathian in Ama sia ni thum ni ciang in thokiksak a, a kilang in lak hi;
This very person God raised up, on the third day, and granted him to become manifest;
41 Mi theampo tung ah hi ngawl in, Pathian mai ah tealsa tetti te, thina pan a thawkkik zawkciang in Ama taw a ne le a dawn khawm kote tung ah hong lak hi.
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 Taciang midang te tung ah phuang tu le Ama sia mihing le mithi te thukhen tu in Pathian in nasep a piak a hihi, ci tettipang tu in thu hong pia hi.
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 Kamsang theampo in ama huvau son siat uh hi. Ama a umte theampo mihing sim in ama min vangletna taw a mawna uh ki maisak tu hi ci in son uh hi, ci hi.
To him all the prophets bear witness, that every one who believes on him, shall receive forgiveness of sins by his name.
44 Peter in hi thu te a son laitak in Pathian thu a za te tung ah Tha Thiangtho hong theng hi.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were hearing the word:
45 Taciang Peter taw hongpai te theampo, vunteap tanna a um te in lamdangsa mama uh hi, banghangziam cile Gentile te tung ah zong Tha Thiangtho letsong buak hi.
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 Banghangziam cile amate in, kam tatuam in a pau uh za uh hi. Taciang Pathian pok uh hi. Tua zawkcang in Peter in zo kik a,
for they heard them speaking in diverse languages, and glorifying God.
47 Koma bangma in Tha Thiangtho a sang te tuiphumna sang ngawl tu in, khatpo in tui a khak thei tu ziam? ci hi.
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 Taciang Peter in Topa min taw tuiphumna sang tu in thupia hi. Tua zawkciang in amate in Peter kung ah ni tampi taam tu in ngen uh hi.
And he ordered them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. And they entreated him to continue with them several days.
