Acts 10
1 But a certain man in Caesarea, — by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic,
kaisariyānagara itāliyākhyasainyāntargataḥ karṇīliyanāmā sēnāpatirāsīt
2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually,
sa saparivārō bhakta īśvaraparāyaṇaścāsīt; lōkēbhyō bahūni dānādīni datvā nirantaram īśvarē prārthayāñcakrē|
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.
ēkadā tr̥tīyapraharavēlāyāṁ sa dr̥ṣṭavān īśvarasyaikō dūtaḥ saprakāśaṁ tatsamīpam āgatya kathitavān, hē karṇīliya|
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.
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 fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
idānīṁ yāphōnagaraṁ prati lōkān prēṣya samudratīrē śimōnnāmnaścarmmakārasya gr̥hē pravāsakārī pitaranāmnā vikhyātō yaḥ śimōn tam āhvāyaya;
6 He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
tasmāt tvayā yadyat karttavyaṁ tattat sa vadiṣyati|
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,
ityupadiśya dūtē prasthitē sati karṇīliyaḥ svagr̥hasthānāṁ dāsānāṁ dvau janau nityaṁ svasaṅgināṁ sainyānām ēkāṁ bhaktasēnāñcāhūya
8 and related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
sakalamētaṁ vr̥ttāntaṁ vijñāpya yāphōnagaraṁ tān prāhiṇōt|
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.
parasmin dinē tē yātrāṁ kr̥tvā yadā nagarasya samīpa upātiṣṭhan, tadā pitarō dvitīyapraharavēlāyāṁ prārthayituṁ gr̥hapr̥ṣṭham ārōhat|
10 And he became hungry and desired to eat. But as they were making ready an ecstasy came upon him:
ētasmin samayē kṣudhārttaḥ san kiñcid bhōktum aicchat kintu tēṣām annāsādanasamayē sa mūrcchitaḥ sannapatat|
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;
tatō mēghadvāraṁ muktaṁ caturbhiḥ kōṇai rlambitaṁ br̥hadvastramiva kiñcana bhājanam ākāśāt pr̥thivīm avārōhatīti dr̥ṣṭavān|
12 in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven.
tanmadhyē nānaprakārā grāmyavanyapaśavaḥ khēcarōrōgāmiprabhr̥tayō jantavaścāsan|
13 And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.
anantaraṁ hē pitara utthāya hatvā bhuṁkṣva tampratīyaṁ gagaṇīyā vāṇī jātā|
14 And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.
tadā pitaraḥ pratyavadat, hē prabhō īdr̥śaṁ mā bhavatu, aham ētat kālaṁ yāvat niṣiddham aśuci vā dravyaṁ kiñcidapi na bhuktavān|
15 And [there was] a voice again the second time to him, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
tataḥ punarapi tādr̥śī vihayasīyā vāṇī jātā yad īśvaraḥ śuci kr̥tavān tat tvaṁ niṣiddhaṁ na jānīhi|
16 And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.
itthaṁ triḥ sati tat pātraṁ punarākr̥ṣṭaṁ ākāśam agacchat|
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,
tataḥ paraṁ yad darśanaṁ prāptavān tasya kō bhāva ityatra pitarō manasā sandēgdhi, ētasmin samayē karṇīliyasya tē prēṣitā manuṣyā dvārasya sannidhāvupasthāya,
18 and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.
śimōnō gr̥hamanvicchantaḥ sampr̥chyāhūya kathitavantaḥ pitaranāmnā vikhyātō yaḥ śimōn sa kimatra pravasati?
19 But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;
yadā pitarastaddarśanasya bhāvaṁ manasāndōlayati tadātmā tamavadat, paśya trayō janāstvāṁ mr̥gayantē|
20 but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them.
tvam utthāyāvaruhya niḥsandēhaṁ taiḥ saha gaccha mayaiva tē prēṣitāḥ|
21 And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?
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 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.
tatastē pratyavadan karṇīliyanāmā śuddhasattva īśvaraparāyaṇō yihūdīyadēśasthānāṁ sarvvēṣāṁ sannidhau sukhyātyāpanna ēkaḥ sēnāpati rnijagr̥haṁ tvāmāhūya nētuṁ tvattaḥ kathā śrōtuñca pavitradūtēna samādiṣṭaḥ|
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.
tadā pitarastānabhyantaraṁ nītvā tēṣāmātithyaṁ kr̥tavān, parē'hani taiḥ sārddhaṁ yātrāmakarōt, yāphōnivāsināṁ bhrātr̥ṇāṁ kiyantō janāśca tēna saha gatāḥ|
24 And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends.
parasmin divasē kaisariyānagaramadhyapravēśasamayē karṇīliyō jñātibandhūn āhūyānīya tān apēkṣya sthitaḥ|
25 And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.
pitarē gr̥ha upasthitē karṇīliyastaṁ sākṣātkr̥tya caraṇayōḥ patitvā prāṇamat|
26 But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: I myself also am a man.
pitarastamutthāpya kathitavān, uttiṣṭhāhamapi mānuṣaḥ|
27 And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.
tadā karṇīliyēna sākam ālapan gr̥haṁ prāviśat tanmadhyē ca bahulōkānāṁ samāgamaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tān avadat,
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.
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 Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it. I inquire therefore for what reason ye have sent for me.
iti hētōrāhvānaśravaṇamātrāt kāñcanāpattim akr̥tvā yuṣmākaṁ samīpam āgatōsmi; pr̥cchāmi yūyaṁ kinnimittaṁ mām āhūyata?
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,
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 said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God.
hē karṇīliya tvadīyā prārthanā īśvarasya karṇagōcarībhūtā tava dānādi ca sākṣisvarūpaṁ bhūtvā tasya dr̥ṣṭigōcaramabhavat|
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].
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 hast well done in coming. Now therefore we are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of 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 Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
tadā pitara imāṁ kathāṁ kathayitum ārabdhavān, īśvarō manuṣyāṇām apakṣapātī san
35 but in every nation he that 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 which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all things, )
sarvvēṣāṁ prabhu ryō yīśukhrīṣṭastēna īśvara isrāyēlvaṁśānāṁ nikaṭē susaṁvādaṁ prēṣya sammēlanasya yaṁ saṁvādaṁ prācārayat taṁ saṁvādaṁ yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
37 ye know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached —
yatō yōhanā majjanē pracāritē sati sa gālīladēśamārabhya samastayihūdīyadēśaṁ vyāpnōt;
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.
phalata īśvarēṇa pavitrēṇātmanā śaktyā cābhiṣiktō nāsaratīyayīśuḥ sthānē sthānē bhraman sukriyāṁ kurvvan śaitānā kliṣṭān sarvvalōkān svasthān akarōt, yata īśvarastasya sahāya āsīt;
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.
vayañca yihūdīyadēśē yirūśālamnagarē ca tēna kr̥tānāṁ sarvvēṣāṁ karmmaṇāṁ sākṣiṇō bhavāmaḥ| lōkāstaṁ kruśē viddhvā hatavantaḥ,
40 This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,
kintu tr̥tīyadivasē īśvarastamutthāpya saprakāśam adarśayat|
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.
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 testify that he it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead.
jīvitamr̥tōbhayalōkānāṁ vicāraṁ karttum īśvarō yaṁ niyuktavān sa ēva sa janaḥ, imāṁ kathāṁ pracārayituṁ tasmin pramāṇaṁ dātuñca sō'smān ājñāpayat|
43 To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.
yastasmin viśvasiti sa tasya nāmnā pāpānmuktō bhaviṣyati tasmin sarvvē bhaviṣyadvādinōpi ētādr̥śaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadati|
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.
pitarasyaitatkathākathanakālē sarvvēṣāṁ śrōtr̥ṇāmupari pavitra ātmāvārōhat|
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:
tataḥ pitarēṇa sārddham āgatāstvakchēdinō viśvāsinō lōkā anyadēśīyēbhyaḥ pavitra ātmani dattē sati
46 for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
tē nānājātīyabhāṣābhiḥ kathāṁ kathayanta īśvaraṁ praśaṁsanti, iti dr̥ṣṭvā śrutvā ca vismayam āpadyanta|
47 Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]?
tadā pitaraḥ kathitavān, vayamiva yē pavitram ātmānaṁ prāptāstēṣāṁ jalamajjanaṁ kiṁ kōpi niṣēddhuṁ śaknōti?
48 And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.
tataḥ prabhō rnāmnā majjitā bhavatēti tānājñāpayat| anantaraṁ tē svaiḥ sārddhaṁ katipayadināni sthātuṁ prārthayanta|
