Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
Kaiserea khaw awhkaw thlang pynoet, Kornelia ak mingnaak ce awm nawh, anih taw Italy qalkap zakhat ak ukkung na awm hy.
2 devout and fearing God with all his household, both giving alms generously to the people and praying to God about everything.
Anih taw a ipkhui kaw boeih ing Khawsa kqih unawh amik bawk thlangkhqi na awm uhy; ak voet ak hlauh thlangkhqi ce bawm khqi nawh Khawsa venawh ak cykcah poepa thlang na awm hy.
3 About the ninth hour of the day, in a vision, he saw clearly an angel of God entering his presence and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
Hypoet awhtaw khawngkeng khawnoek pakthum a pha awh hatnaak ik-oeih hu hy. Khawsa ak khan ceityih ce law nawh a venawh, “Konelia!” tina hy.
4 Well, staring at him and being frightened he said, “What is it, Lord?” So he said to him: “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.
Konelia ing ak kqih doena toek ceet hy. “Bawipa ikaw?” tinawh doet hy. Khan ceityih ing, “Nak cykcahnaak ingkaw khawdeng hahqahkhqi na do na dannaak ce Khawsa haiawh simpoenaak ham pha hawh hy.
5 Now send men to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
Piter tinawh amik khy Simon ce khy tlaih aham tuh Joppa khaw na thlang tyi lah.
6 he is lodging with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
Anih ce mehvyn ak khquikung Simon a im awh awm hy, anih a im taw tuicunli a keng awh awm hy, tina hy.
7 So when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who were faithful to him,
A venawh awi ak kqawnkung khan ceityih ce a ceh coengawh Konelia ing a tyihzawih thlang pakkhih ingkaw a tyihzawih awi ak ngai qalkap pynoet ce khy hy.
8 and explaining everything to them he sent them to Joppa.
Ik-oeih a huh ingkaw ang zaak khqi boeih ce ak kqawn peek coengawh Joppa khaw na cekkhqi ce tyi hy.
9 Now on the next day, as they were traveling and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
A khawngawi nyn awh cet unawh khawk bau ami pha tawm khawnghyp awh lam na ce, Piter taw iptih na cykcah aham kai hy.
10 Well he became hungry and wanted to eat; but while they were preparing, a trance fell on him,
Cawh ak phoen cawi nawh ai kawi pynoet oet ai aham ngaih hy, buh ami lawh peek li awh, huh saknaak ik-oeih ce hu hy.
11 and he saw the heaven opened and a container like a great sheet descending to him—it was tied at the four corners and was being let down to the earth—
Khan ak awng qu ce hu nawh hi a kil pupthli awh khan nakawng ik-oeih anuk thlaak law peek ce hu hy.
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth (both wild animals and reptiles) and birds of the sky.
Ce ak khuiawh ce khaw pupthli ak law qamsa soepkep ce awm nawh, dek awh ak cawlh ak tat ingkaw khan nakaw ak ding phakhqi awm awm hy.
13 Then a voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!”
Cawh awi ing a venawh, “Piter tho, him nawhtaw ai,” tina hy.
14 But Peter said: “No way, Lord! Never have I eaten anything ‘common’ or unclean!”
Piter ing, “Am ai hly nyng, Bawipa! Amak ciimcaih ingkaw tuih ak cu ikawm am ai khawi nyng,” tina hy.
15 So the voice came to him a second time, “What (pl) God has made clean you must not call ‘common’!”
Awi ing a hih voeinaak awh, “Khawsa ing a ciim sak ce nang ing am ciim hy koeh ti,” tina hy.
16 Well this happened three times, and then the object was taken back up into the sky.
Vemyihna thum voei dy a awm coengawh, hi ce khawk khan na dawh pe hy.
17 Now as Peter was really perplexed within himself as to what the vision that he had seen might mean, well the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having inquired and found Simon's house, stood before the gate,
Piter ing cawhkaw ik-oeih a huh ce ikaw hy voei nu, tinawh ak poek huiawh, Konelia ak thlang tyihkhqi ing Simon a im ce hu unawh vawng chawmkeng awh ce dyi uhy.
18 and calling out they inquired whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was staying there as a guest.
Piter tinawh amik khy, Simon ce im awh ak awm nu tinawh doet uhy.
19 So as Peter was pondering the vision the Spirit said to him: “Listen, some men are looking for you;
Piter ing a them huh ce anak poek huiawh, Myihla ing a venawh, “Simon, thlang pakthum ing nang ni sui uhy.
20 so get up and go downstairs; and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.”
Cedawngawh tho nawhtaw ipkai na nuk kqum lah. Cekkhqi hu awh bat aham koeh tawngaa, kai ing ni cekkhqi ce ka tyih law hy,” tina hy.
21 So going down to the men Peter said: “Yes, I am the one you are looking for. For what reason have you come?”
Piter ce nuk kqum nawh cekkhqi venawh, “Nangmih ing nami sui ce kai ni. Ikaw cainaak ing nami aw?” tinak khqi hy.
22 So they said: “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by an angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.”
Cekkhqi ing, “Kaimih ve qalkap zakhat ukkung Kornelia a im awhkawng law unyng. Anih taw thlakdyng ingkaw Khawsa ak kqih thlang na awm hy, cedawngawh Juda thlangkhqi boeih ing anih ve kqihchah uhy. Nang ak awihkqawn ngai aham khan ceityih ciim pynoet ing nang khy aham kqawn pehy,” tina uhy.
23 So he invited them in and put them up. The next day Peter set out with them, also some of the brothers from Joppa went with him;
Cawh Piter ing cekkhqi ce ipkhui na khy nawh pah sak hy. Cedawngawh a khawngawi nyn awh tho nawh cekkhqi mi cet haih uhy, Joppa khaw awhkaw koeinaakhqi awm cet lawt uhy.
24 and the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and close friends.
A khawngawi nyn awh Kaiserea khaw ce pha uhy. Kornelia ing anih ce a na lamtoen nawh a cakaw paqengkhqi ingkaw a pyipawkhqi boeih ce kutoet na khy khqi hy.
25 So when Peter actually arrived, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet and worshiped.
Piter ce ipkhui na a lut awh, Kornelia ing do nawh a khawkung awh kqihchahnaak ing khuksym pehy.
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
Cehlai Piter ing thawh sak tlaih nawh “Kai awm thlanghqing lawt ni,” tina hy.
27 And conversing with him he went in and found many gathered there.
Awi anik kqawn coengawh Piter ce ipkhui na lut nawh cawh ipkhui na thlang khawzah ak awm ce hu hy.
28 Then he said to them: “You know how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to associate with or to approach a different race; but God has shown me that I should not call any man ‘common’ or unclean.
Cekkhqi venawh: “Juda thlang ingkaw Gentel thlang awm haih aham am ciim hy tice sim uhyk ti; cehlai u awm ciimcaih hy, am ciimcaih hy, niti kawi am ni tice Khawsa ing ni sim sak hy.
29 Therefore also I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. So I ask, for what reason did you send for me?”
Ce a dawngawh thlang na minik khy law sak awhkawng a oelh kana law nyng. Cehlai ni doet khqi nyng, ikaw ham nanu nami nik khy?” tinak khqi hy.
30 So Cornelius said: “I have been fasting during four days until this very hour; yes, it was the ninth hour, I was praying in my house when wow, a man stood before me in shining clothing
Cawh Korelia ing, “Ni hu hitphli awh ce, ve atym khawngkeng khawnoek pakthum awh ka mah a im awh cykcah nyng. Cawh hi ak vang soeih ak bai thlang pynoet ce ka haiawh dyi nawh,
31 and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms are remembered before God.
ka venawh, “Kornelia, nak cyhcahnaak ce sim peekna awm nawh, thlang venawh na them peek awm Khawsa ing sim hawh hy.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea; upon arriving he will speak to you.’
Ceamyihna awmsaw Joppa khaw na thlang tyi nawhtaw Piter ak mingnaak Simon ce khy sak. Anih ce tuicunli a kengawh ak awm, mehvyn ak khquikung, Simon a im awh khin na awm hy,” ni tina hy.
33 So I sent to you at once, and you did well to come. Now then, we are all present before God to hear all the things commanded you by God.”
Cedawngawh thlang tyi lawk tlang nyng, law tiksaw leek soeih hy. Tuh Bawipa ing kaimih a venawh anik kqawn sak khqi boeih ce ngai aham Khawsa haiawh cun law boeih unyng,” tina hy.
34 So opening his mouth Peter said: “Really, I comprehend that God is not One to show partiality,
Cekcoengawh taw Piter ing awih kqawnnaak ce kqan hy, “Khawsa ing u a hai awm am toek hy tice tuh sim hawh nyng,
35 but in every ethnic nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable to Him.
amah ak kqih ingkaw ak thymna bi ak sai qampum awhkaw thlang boeih ce do hy.
36 The word that He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—
Israel thlangkhqi venawh Khawsa ing awi pehy, thlang boeih a boei, Jesu Khrih ak caming ngaihqepnaak awithang leek ak kqawn peek ce nangmih ing sim uhyk ti.
37 that spoken word you know, that was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached:
Johan ing baptisma ak khypyi coengawh, Kalili qam awhkawng kqan nawh Judah qam pum awhkaw ik-oeih ak awm ce –
38 Jesus of Natsareth, how God anointed Him with Holy Spirit and power, who went about doing good and healing all those being oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him
Khawsa ing Ciim Myihla thaawmnaak ing Nazareth Jesu a sypnaak akawng ingkaw Khawsa ingqawi a awm haih a dawngawh, qaaiche ak thaawmnaak ak kaiawh ak awmkhqi ce qoei sak nawh them leek a saikhqi ce sim uhyk ti.
39 —yes, we are witnesses of all that He did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem—whom they also killed, hanging Him on a tree.
Judakhqi qam ingkaw Jerusalem khaw khuiawh a sai ik-oeihkhqi boeih ak simpyikung dyihthing na kaimih ve awm unyng. Anih ce thing awh tai unawh him uhy,
40 Him God raised on the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
cehlai Khawsa ing anih ce thihnaak awhkawng am thum nyn awh thawh sak tlaih nawh thlang a huh awh dang sak hy.
41 not to all the people but to witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with Him after He arose out from the dead.
Thlang boeih ing anih ce am hu hy, cehlai Khawsa amah ing ak tyh oepchoeh dyihthing na ak awm, thihnaak awhkawng a thawh coengawh amah ingqawi buh a an ak ai haih kaimih ing hu unyng.
42 And He ordered us to proclaim to the people, that is, to testify that He is the One who has been ordained by God as Judge of living and dead.
Thlak hqing ingkaw thlak thi awideng aham anih doeng ni Khawsa ing a caksak hy, tice khypyi aham ingkaw sim sak aham kaimih ve awi ni pek khqi hy.
43 To Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes into Him will receive forgiveness of sins.”
U awm amah ce ak cangnaak thlang boeih ing amah ang ming ak caming thawlh qeenkhaw ngainaak hu kaw, tice tawnghakhqi boeih ing anak kqawn hawh uhy,” tinak khqi hy.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were hearing the message.
Piter ing ve ak awikhqi ve ak kqawn li awh, awi ak zakhqi boeih ak khan awh Ciim Myihla ce law hy.
45 Well the believers of the circumcision [Jews] who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been poured out on the Gentiles,
Gentelkhqik khan awh awm Ciim Myihla kutdo ce syp sihna a awm awh Piter ingkaw amik law haih chahhui ak qeet ak cangnaak thlangkhqi ce amik kawpoek kyi hy.
46 in that they heard them speaking languages and magnifying God. Then Peter responded:
Cekkhqi ing amsim awi na pau unawh, Khawsa a mim kyihcah ce a ming zaak awh a mingngaihna kyi hy. Cekcoengawh Piter ing,
47 “Surely no one can forbid the water, can he, that these should not be baptized who received the Holy Spirit just like we did?”
“U ing nu vekkhqi ve tui ing baptisma ama peek aham a kham peek thai kaw? Kaimih ing ka mi huh lawt amyihna a mingmih ingawm Ciim Myihla ve hu hawh lawt uhy,” tina hy.
48 So he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
Cekcoengawh cekkhqi ce Jesu Khrih ang ming ing baptisma huh aham awi pehy. Cekkhqi ce khawnghi iqyt nu awm pyi cang aham Piter a venawh thoeh uhy.
