Acts 10
1 But a certain man in Caesarea, — by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic,
Te vaengah Kaiserea kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Kornelius, Italian caem la a khue khuikah rhalboei te om.
2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually,
Anih te cuep tih a imko boeih loh Pathen a rhih. Pilnam taengah doedannah muep a saii tih Pathen taengah a yoeyah la thangthui.
3 — saw plainly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
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.
4 But he, having fixed his eyes upon him, and become full of fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have gone up for a memorial before God.
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.
5 And now send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
Te dongah Joppa la hlang pahoi tueih lamtah Simon Peter la a khue hlang pakhat te tah laeh.
6 He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
Anih te tuipuei kaengkah im aka om maehpho Simon taengah pah lah ko,” a ti nah.
7 And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, having called two of his household and a pious soldier of those who were constantly with him,
Anih aka voek puencawn te a caeh van phoeiah tah imkhut rhoi neh amah aka khuituk rhoek khuikah aka cuep rhalkap te a khue.
8 and related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Amih te a soep la a uen phoeiah Joppa la a tueih.
9 And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
A vuen ah amih te cet uh tih kho a yoei thuem kah khonoek parhuk tluk vaengah Peter tah thangthui ham imphu la yoeng.
10 And he became hungry and desired to eat. But as they were making ready an ecstasy came upon him:
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.
11 and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, [bound] by [the] four corners [and] let down to the earth;
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.
12 in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven.
A khuiah diklai kah rhamsa boeih neh rhulcai khaw, vaan kah vaa khaw om.
13 And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.
Te vaengah, “Peter thoo, ngawn lamtah ca,” tila anih taengla ol halo pah.
14 And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.
Tedae Peter loh, “Moenih, Boeipa, tanghnong tangaih neh rhalawt la aka om boeih he ka caak moenih,” a ti nah.
15 And [there was] a voice again the second time to him, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
Tedae anih te a pabae kah ol bal loh, “Pathen loh a cim sak tangtae te nang loh poeih boeh,” a ti nah.
16 And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.
Te tlam te voei thum a om phoeiah tah hno te vaan la vil a loh.
17 And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
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.
18 and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.
Te vaengah pang uh tih, “Peter la a khue Simon te pah mai a he,” a ti uh.
19 But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;
Peter khaw mangthui dongkah te a poek li vaengah Mueihla loh, “Hlang pathum loh nang n'toem uh ke.
20 but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them.
Thoo, suntla lamtah boelhkhoeh kolla amih taengah cet laeh. Kai long ni amih kan tueih,” a ti nah.
21 And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?
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.
22 And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee.
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.
23 Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him.
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.
24 And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends.
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.
25 And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.
Peter ham pha tih a kun vaengah amah te Kornelius loh a doe. A kho kungah a bakop thil tih a bawk.
26 But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: I myself also am a man.
Tedae Peter loh anih te a thoh tih, “Thoo, kai kamah khaw hlang van ni,” a ti nah.
27 And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.
Anih te a voek tih a kun vaengah muep a tingtun uh a hmuh.
28 And he said to them, Ye know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to me God has shewn to call no man common or unclean.
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.
29 Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it. I inquire therefore for what reason ye have sent for me.
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.
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I had been [fasting] unto this hour, and the ninth [I was] praying in my house, and lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
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,
31 and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God.
Kornelius, na thangthuinah te ka hnatun uh tih na doedannah loh Pathen hmaiah a poek coeng.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea [who when he is come will speak to thee].
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.
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast well done in coming. Now therefore we are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
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.
34 And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
Te dongah Peter loh a ka a ong tih, “Pathen loh tangyahnah a khueh pawt te oltak la ka pom coeng.
35 but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
Tedae namtom boeih khuiah amah aka rhih tih duengnah aka saii rhoek tah amah kah a uem la om.
36 The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all things, )
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.
37 ye know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached —
Judea tom ah olthang he om coeng. Johan loh a hoe Baptistma hnukah Galilee lamloh a tong coeng.
38 Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
Nazareth lamkah Jesuh te Pathen loh Mueihla Cim neh thaomnah neh a koelh. Anih tah tlangnaem tlangphai la pongpa tih Pathen loh anih taengah a om puei dongah rhaithae kah a phaep rhoek khaw boeih a hoeih sak.
39 We also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.
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.
40 This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,
Anih te Pathen loh a thum hnin ah a thoh tih a phoe sak la om coeng.
41 not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, us who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead.
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.
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead.
Hlang duek hlang hing kah laitloekkung la Pathen loh anih a hmoel te pilnam taengah hoe tih uen ham mamih ng'uen.
43 To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.
Tonghma rhoek boeih loh anih te a oep. Amah aka tangnah boeih tah a ming neh tholh khodawkngainah a dang,” a ti nah.
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.
Peter kah a thui ol te a pangthuem vaengah ol aka hnatun rhoek boeih khaw Mueihla Cim loh a tlak thil.
45 And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out:
Namtom rhoek te Cim Mueihla kah kutdoe loh a suntlak thil van vaengah, yahvinrhetnah neh uepom Peter aka puei boeih khaw limlum uh.
46 for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
Amih kah ol a thui uh te a yaak uh vaengah Pathen te a oep uh.
47 Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]?
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.
48 And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.
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.
