Acts 10
1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.
Caesarea khua ah Cornelius a kici khat om hi, ama sia Italy ngalkap hon, a kici ngalkap zakhat uk ngalkapmang a hihi,
2 He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.
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.
3 One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
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.
4 Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
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.
5 Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.
Tu in mihing pawlkhat Joppa ah paisak in, Simon Peter kici pa samsak tan.
6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
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.
7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
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;
8 He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.
Hi thu te theampo a son zawkciang in, Joppa ah paisak hi.
9 The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
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:
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
Peter sia a ngilkial mama a, an ne nuam napi: an neak tu a vawt laitak in mangmu hi.
11 He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
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:
12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.
A sung ah peang li nei nganhing a tatuam, sapi te, a bokvak te le van a leang vacim te om hi.
13 Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”
Aw khat in ama tung ah, Peter awng; tho in, ngo in a, ne in, ci hi.
14 “No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
Ahihang Peter in, hi ngawl hi, Topa awng; banghangziam cile a nin le a thiangtho ngawl te ne ngei ngawl khi hi, ci hi.
15 The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
Pathian in a thianthosak te nin hi ci heak in, taciang tua aw in a nivei na son thua hi.
16 This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.
Hisia thumvei dong tabang in vawt hi: taciang tua na koina sia van ah ki lato kik hi.
17 While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.
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.
18 They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.
Taciang a sap zawkciang in, Peter a kici Simon sia hiak ah hong tung ziam, ci in dong uh hi.
19 As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
Peter in tua mangmuna thu a ngaisut laitak in, Thaa in, en in, mihing thum in nang hong zong hi.
20 So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”
Tua ahikom tho in a, tuaksuk in, bangma lungmang heak in, banghangziam cile amate sia keima i sawl a hihi, ci hi.
21 So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
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.
22 “Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
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.
23 So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
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.
24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
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.
25 As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.
Peter a tum ciang in, Cornelius in muak a, a peang ah kun in bia hi.
26 But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
Ahihang Peter in ama kaito a, ding in; keima zong mihing ma khi hi, ci hi.
27 As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.
Peter in a paupui kawm in innsung ah tum uh ha, a pai tam mama mu hi.
28 He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.
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.
29 So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”
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.
30 Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me
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,
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.
Cornelius awng, Pathian in na thungetna hong za zo hi, mizawng te na hu nate ciamte hi.
32 Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’
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.
33 So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”
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.
34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,
Tua zawkciang in Peter in a kam hong a, Pathian sia mi doidan nei ngawl hi, a ci thuman sia ka he hi:
35 but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.
Ahihang Ama a zakta te le thutanna a vawt minam peuma sia Pathian in sang hi.
36 He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
Na theampo i Topa: Jesus Christ tungtawn in a ki pualak kilemna thu sia Pathian in Israel te kung ah paisak hi:
37 You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:
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;
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
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.
39 We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,
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:
40 God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—
Pathian in Ama sia ni thum ni ciang in thokiksak a, a kilang in lak hi;
41 not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
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.
42 And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.
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.
43 All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
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.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.
Peter in hi thu te a son laitak in Pathian thu a za te tung ah Tha Thiangtho hong theng hi.
45 All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
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.
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,
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,
47 “Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”
Koma bangma in Tha Thiangtho a sang te tuiphumna sang ngawl tu in, khatpo in tui a khak thei tu ziam? ci hi.
48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
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.
