Acts 10
1 Now a certain man was in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the band called Italian,
kaisariyānagara itāliyākhyasainyāntargataḥ karṇīliyanāmā sēnāpatirāsīt
2 a devout man, and fearing God with all his house, and doing many charities for the people, and beseeching God always.
sa saparivārō bhakta īśvaraparāyaṇaścāsīt; lōkēbhyō bahūni dānādīni datvā nirantaram īśvarē prārthayāñcakrē|
3 He saw plainly in a vision about the ninth hour of the day, an agent of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
ēkadā tr̥tīyapraharavēlāyāṁ sa dr̥ṣṭavān īśvarasyaikō dūtaḥ saprakāśaṁ tatsamīpam āgatya kathitavān, hē karṇīliya|
4 And after gazing at him, and having become afraid, he said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy charities have come up for a memorial before God.
kintu sa taṁ dr̥ṣṭvā bhītō'kathayat, hē prabhō kiṁ? tadā tamavadat tava prārthanā dānādi ca sākṣisvarūpaṁ bhūtvēśvarasya gōcaramabhavat|
5 And now send men to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
idānīṁ yāphōnagaraṁ prati lōkān prēṣya samudratīrē śimōnnāmnaścarmmakārasya gr̥hē pravāsakārī pitaranāmnā vikhyātō yaḥ śimōn tam āhvāyaya;
6 This man lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is beside the seaside.
tasmāt tvayā yadyat karttavyaṁ tattat sa vadiṣyati|
7 And when the agent speaking to Cornelius departed, having called two of his housemen, and a devout soldier of those who personally served him,
ityupadiśya dūtē prasthitē sati karṇīliyaḥ svagr̥hasthānāṁ dāsānāṁ dvau janau nityaṁ svasaṅgināṁ sainyānām ēkāṁ bhaktasēnāñcāhūya
8 and after reporting all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
sakalamētaṁ vr̥ttāntaṁ vijñāpya yāphōnagaraṁ tān prāhiṇōt|
9 Now on the morrow, while those men were traveling and approaching the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.
parasmin dinē tē yātrāṁ kr̥tvā yadā nagarasya samīpa upātiṣṭhan, tadā pitarō dvitīyapraharavēlāyāṁ prārthayituṁ gr̥hapr̥ṣṭham ārōhat|
10 And he became very hungry and wanted to eat. But while those men prepared, a trance fell upon him.
ētasmin samayē kṣudhārttaḥ san kiñcid bhōktum aicchat kintu tēṣām annāsādanasamayē sa mūrcchitaḥ sannapatat|
11 And he sees heaven opened, and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet bound at four corners, and being lowered to the earth,
tatō mēghadvāraṁ muktaṁ caturbhiḥ kōṇai rlambitaṁ br̥hadvastramiva kiñcana bhājanam ākāśāt pr̥thivīm avārōhatīti dr̥ṣṭavān|
12 in which were all the four-footed things of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky.
tanmadhyē nānaprakārā grāmyavanyapaśavaḥ khēcarōrōgāmiprabhr̥tayō jantavaścāsan|
13 And a voice came to him, After rising, Peter, kill and eat.
anantaraṁ hē pitara utthāya hatvā bhuṁkṣva tampratīyaṁ gagaṇīyā vāṇī jātā|
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord, because I have never eaten anything profane or unclean.
tadā pitaraḥ pratyavadat, hē prabhō īdr̥śaṁ mā bhavatu, aham ētat kālaṁ yāvat niṣiddham aśuci vā dravyaṁ kiñcidapi na bhuktavān|
15 And a voice again for a second time, What God has cleansed, thou shall not make profane.
tataḥ punarapi tādr̥śī vihayasīyā vāṇī jātā yad īśvaraḥ śuci kr̥tavān tat tvaṁ niṣiddhaṁ na jānīhi|
16 And this happened thrice, and again the vessel was taken up into heaven.
itthaṁ triḥ sati tat pātraṁ punarākr̥ṣṭaṁ ākāśam agacchat|
17 Now while Peter was bewildered in himself whatever the vision which he saw might be, that lo, the men who were sent from Cornelius, having inquired the house of Simon, stood at the gate.
tataḥ paraṁ yad darśanaṁ prāptavān tasya kō bhāva ityatra pitarō manasā sandēgdhi, ētasmin samayē karṇīliyasya tē prēṣitā manuṣyā dvārasya sannidhāvupasthāya,
18 And after calling out they asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodges here.
śimōnō gr̥hamanvicchantaḥ sampr̥chyāhūya kathitavantaḥ pitaranāmnā vikhyātō yaḥ śimōn sa kimatra pravasati?
19 And while Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men seek thee.
yadā pitarastaddarśanasya bhāvaṁ manasāndōlayati tadātmā tamavadat, paśya trayō janāstvāṁ mr̥gayantē|
20 But after rising, go down, and go with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them.
tvam utthāyāvaruhya niḥsandēhaṁ taiḥ saha gaccha mayaiva tē prēṣitāḥ|
21 And having gone down to the men, Peter said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek. What is the cause for which ye are here?
tasmāt pitarō'varuhya karṇīliyaprēritalōkānāṁ nikaṭamāgatya kathitavān paśyata yūyaṁ yaṁ mr̥gayadhvē sa janōhaṁ, yūyaṁ kinnimittam āgatāḥ?
22 And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and being well testified by the whole nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy agent to summon thee to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.
tatastē pratyavadan karṇīliyanāmā śuddhasattva īśvaraparāyaṇō yihūdīyadēśasthānāṁ sarvvēṣāṁ sannidhau sukhyātyāpanna ēkaḥ sēnāpati rnijagr̥haṁ tvāmāhūya nētuṁ tvattaḥ kathā śrōtuñca pavitradūtēna samādiṣṭaḥ|
23 So, having invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brothers from Joppa went with him.
tadā pitarastānabhyantaraṁ nītvā tēṣāmātithyaṁ kr̥tavān, parē'hani taiḥ sārddhaṁ yātrāmakarōt, yāphōnivāsināṁ bhrātr̥ṇāṁ kiyantō janāśca tēna saha gatāḥ|
24 And on the morrow they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and close friends.
parasmin divasē kaisariyānagaramadhyapravēśasamayē karṇīliyō jñātibandhūn āhūyānīya tān apēkṣya sthitaḥ|
25 And when it came about for Peter to enter, Cornelius, having met him, after falling down at his feet, worshiped.
pitarē gr̥ha upasthitē karṇīliyastaṁ sākṣātkr̥tya caraṇayōḥ patitvā prāṇamat|
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, Stand up. I am also myself a man.
pitarastamutthāpya kathitavān, uttiṣṭhāhamapi mānuṣaḥ|
27 And as he conversed with him, he went in and found many who came together.
tadā karṇīliyēna sākam ālapan gr̥haṁ prāviśat tanmadhyē ca bahulōkānāṁ samāgamaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tān avadat,
28 And he said to them, Ye understand how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to fraternize or to visit with a foreign man, and yet God demonstrated to me not to call one man profane or unclean.
anyajātīyalōkaiḥ mahālapanaṁ vā tēṣāṁ gr̥hamadhyē pravēśanaṁ yihūdīyānāṁ niṣiddham astīti yūyam avagacchatha; kintu kamapi mānuṣam avyavahāryyam aśuciṁ vā jñātuṁ mama nōcitam iti paramēśvarō māṁ jñāpitavān|
29 And so I came without objection when summoned. I ask therefore for what matter ye summoned me.
iti hētōrāhvānaśravaṇamātrāt kāñcanāpattim akr̥tvā yuṣmākaṁ samīpam āgatōsmi; pr̥cchāmi yūyaṁ kinnimittaṁ mām āhūyata?
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour, and the ninth hour praying in my house. And behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel.
tadā karṇīliyaḥ kathitavān, adya catvāri dināni jātāni ētāvadvēlāṁ yāvad aham anāhāra āsan tatastr̥tīyapraharē sati gr̥hē prārthanasamayē tējōmayavastrabhr̥d ēkō janō mama samakṣaṁ tiṣṭhan ētāṁ kathām akathayat,
31 And he says, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy charities are remembered before God.
hē karṇīliya tvadīyā prārthanā īśvarasya karṇagōcarībhūtā tava dānādi ca sākṣisvarūpaṁ bhūtvā tasya dr̥ṣṭigōcaramabhavat|
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. This man lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, beside the sea, who, after coming, will speak to thee.
atō yāphōnagaraṁ prati lōkān prahitya tatra samudratīrē śimōnnāmnaḥ kasyaciccarmmakārasya gr̥hē pravāsakārī pitaranāmnā vikhyātō yaḥ śimōn tamāhūyaya; tataḥ sa āgatya tvām upadēkṣyati|
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou did well having come. Now therefore we are all present in the sight of God, to hear all the things commanded thee by God.
iti kāraṇāt tatkṣaṇāt tava nikaṭē lōkān prēṣitavān, tvamāgatavān iti bhadraṁ kr̥tavān| īśvarō yānyākhyānāni kathayitum ādiśat tāni śrōtuṁ vayaṁ sarvvē sāmpratam īśvarasya sākṣād upasthitāḥ smaḥ|
34 And having opened his mouth, Peter said, In truth, I am overwhelmed that God is not partial,
tadā pitara imāṁ kathāṁ kathayitum ārabdhavān, īśvarō manuṣyāṇām apakṣapātī san
35 but in every nation, he who fears him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to him.
yasya kasyacid dēśasya yō lōkāstasmādbhītvā satkarmma karōti sa tasya grāhyō bhavati, ētasya niścayam upalabdhavānaham|
36 The word that he sent forth to the sons of Israel, preaching good news, peace by Jesus Christ (this man is Lord of all),
sarvvēṣāṁ prabhu ryō yīśukhrīṣṭastēna īśvara isrāyēlvaṁśānāṁ nikaṭē susaṁvādaṁ prēṣya sammēlanasya yaṁ saṁvādaṁ prācārayat taṁ saṁvādaṁ yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
37 ye know, the word having occurred throughout the whole of Judea beginning from Galilee after the immersion that John preached-
yatō yōhanā majjanē pracāritē sati sa gālīladēśamārabhya samastayihūdīyadēśaṁ vyāpnōt;
38 Jesus of Nazareth-how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who passed through doing good, and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.
phalata īśvarēṇa pavitrēṇātmanā śaktyā cābhiṣiktō nāsaratīyayīśuḥ sthānē sthānē bhraman sukriyāṁ kurvvan śaitānā kliṣṭān sarvvalōkān svasthān akarōt, yata īśvarastasya sahāya āsīt;
39 And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, whom also they killed, having hung on a tree.
vayañca yihūdīyadēśē yirūśālamnagarē ca tēna kr̥tānāṁ sarvvēṣāṁ karmmaṇāṁ sākṣiṇō bhavāmaḥ| lōkāstaṁ kruśē viddhvā hatavantaḥ,
40 This man God raised up the third day, and granted him to become manifest,
kintu tr̥tīyadivasē īśvarastamutthāpya saprakāśam adarśayat|
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were previously chosen by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he arose from the dead.
sarvvalōkānāṁ nikaṭa iti na hi, kintu tasmin śmaśānādutthitē sati tēna sārddhaṁ bhōjanaṁ pānañca kr̥tavanta ētādr̥śā īśvarasya manōnītāḥ sākṣiṇō yē vayam asmākaṁ nikaṭē tamadarśayat|
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to solemnly testify that this is the man designated by God, judge of the living and the dead.
jīvitamr̥tōbhayalōkānāṁ vicāraṁ karttum īśvarō yaṁ niyuktavān sa ēva sa janaḥ, imāṁ kathāṁ pracārayituṁ tasmin pramāṇaṁ dātuñca sō'smān ājñāpayat|
43 To this man all the prophets testify, that every man who believes in him, to receive remission of sins through his name.
yastasmin viśvasiti sa tasya nāmnā pāpānmuktō bhaviṣyati tasmin sarvvē bhaviṣyadvādinōpi ētādr̥śaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadati|
44 While Peter still spoke these sayings, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
pitarasyaitatkathākathanakālē sarvvēṣāṁ śrōtr̥ṇāmupari pavitra ātmāvārōhat|
45 And the faithful men of circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because also on the Gentiles the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out.
tataḥ pitarēṇa sārddham āgatāstvakchēdinō viśvāsinō lōkā anyadēśīyēbhyaḥ pavitra ātmani dattē sati
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
tē nānājātīyabhāṣābhiḥ kathāṁ kathayanta īśvaraṁ praśaṁsanti, iti dr̥ṣṭvā śrutvā ca vismayam āpadyanta|
47 Can any man forbid the water for these not to be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also?
tadā pitaraḥ kathitavān, vayamiva yē pavitram ātmānaṁ prāptāstēṣāṁ jalamajjanaṁ kiṁ kōpi niṣēddhuṁ śaknōti?
48 And he commanded them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to remain some days.
tataḥ prabhō rnāmnā majjitā bhavatēti tānājñāpayat| anantaraṁ tē svaiḥ sārddhaṁ katipayadināni sthātuṁ prārthayanta|
