Acts 10
1 In Caesarea lived a man named Cornelius who was a Roman centurion of the Italian battalion.
Caesarea khuo mi inkhat a riming Cornelius an ti, “Rom râlmi pâl raza-ruoipu a oma” maha Italy râlmi an ti ngâi.
2 He was a religious man who, together with everyone in his household, had great reverence for God. He gave generously to the poor, and prayed regularly to God.
Ama hah Pathien biek mi ania, ama leh a insûng mingei nâm anrêngin Pathien lei biek ngâi an ni. Judangei lâia inriengngei sanin asân ranak a song ngâia, Pathien kôma khom chubai a tho bang ngâia.
3 At about 3 p.m. one day he had a vision in which he saw very clearly an angel of God who came to him and called to him, “Cornelius!”
Sûnkhat chu chonûk dâr thumin inlârna inthârlak a mua, Pathien vântîrton inkhat a kôm ahong lûta, “Cornelius!” a hong tia.
4 Frightened, Cornelius stared at him and asked, “What do you want, Lord?” “God has paid attention to your prayers, and recognized your generosity to the poor,” he told Cornelius.
Cornelius'n ama hah a en ngita, a chia, “Pu mahi imo?” a tia. Vântîrtonin a thuona nu chubaithona le nu lungkhamna sinngei hah Pathien'n a râisânna nang a thuon rang ke ani zoi.
5 “Now send some men to Joppa, and fetch Simon, also called Peter,
Atûn Joppa khuoa mi tîr inla, mi inkhat a riming Simon Peter an ti hah hong min koi roh.
6 who is staying at Simon the tanner's house down by the sea-shore.”
Savun sin ngâipu Simon ina a tunga, a in chu tuikhanglien panga aom a tia.
7 When the angel who had spoken to him had left, Cornelius called in two of his house-servants and a soldier of his personal guard, a religious man.
Hanchu vântîrton hah a rot suole, Cornelius'n a tîrlâmngei mi inik le râlmi inkhat, Pathien biek ngâi a tîrlâma a mang ngâi a koia.
8 After he'd explained to them all that had happened he sent them to Joppa.
A mu le a riet murdi a ril zoiin chu Joppa khuoa se rangin a tîra.
9 The next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up onto the top of the house to pray. It was about noon,
Anangtûka an sea, Joppa khuo kôl an tungin chu, Peter hah chubaitho rangin sûna inchunga a kala.
10 and he was getting hungry, wanting to eat. But while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance, and
A von a châm sabaka, bunêk rang a nuoma hannisenla nêk rang a mintuo lâitakin inlârna a mua.
11 he saw heaven opened. He saw something coming down that looked like a large sheet held by its four corners, being lowered onto the earth.
Invân in-ongin puon lienpa arikil minlia inthung invân renga nuoia juong chum a mua.
12 Inside were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds.
Ha sûng han sa ake minli jât tamtakngei le rama vângei an omna, a rôpa intolngâi ngei.
13 He heard a voice say, “Get up Peter, kill and eat!”
A kôm han rôlin, Peter, “Inthoi roh; that inla sâk roh!” a tia.
14 But Peter replied, “Certainly not, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is impure and unclean.”
Hannisenla Peter'n “Pumapa nimak! ânthiengloi le porinche ite sâk ngâi mu ung” a tia.
15 He heard the voice speak again, “Don't you call unclean what God has made clean!”
Rôl han avêlin a kôma, “Pathien'n ânthieng zoi a ti hih nangman ite ânthiengloiin mindon no roh,” a ti nôka.
16 This happened three times, and then the sheet was quickly taken back into heaven.
Ha anghan, voithum ajuong oma, masuole chu invân tieng lâk paiin a om nôk zoi.
17 While Peter was puzzling over what the vision he'd seen really meant, the men sent by Cornelius had found out where Simon's house was and were standing at the gate.
Hanchu, Peter'n inlârna a mu hah a mindonna chang riet loiin a om lâitak han, Cornelius mi tîr ngei hah Simon in rekelin mokot kôla an lên dinga.
18 They called out, asking whether Simon, also called Peter, was staying there.
Mahin Simon Peter a tung mo? tiin an rekela.
19 While Peter was still wondering about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Look, there are three men looking for you.
Peter'n inlârna ai mu hah a mindon lâitakin, Ratha'n a kôma, “Rangâi roh! Mi inthumin nang an rok.
20 Get up, go downstairs, and go with them. Don't worry at all because I'm the one who sent them.”
Masikin inthok inla chum roh, ite kamâm loiin jûi ngei roh, anni hah ko hongtîr ngei ke” a tia.
21 So Peter went downstairs to meet the men. “I'm the one you're looking for,” he said. “Why are you here?”
Masikin Peter hah a chuma, an kôm han, nin rokpu hah “Keima ki ni, imo nin hongna abi?” a tia.
22 “We come from Cornelius, a good, religious man who has reverence for God and is widely respected among the Jewish people,” they replied. “A holy angel instructed him to send for you to come to his house so he can hear what you have to tell him.”
Anni han, “Râlmi raza ruoipu Cornelius mi hongtîr ani. Ama hah mi sa Pathien biek ngâi mi le Juda mi murdi'n mirit an tho ngâi mi ania. Pathien vântîrtonin nangma hah a ina koi rangin a tipea, no chongril rangâi rangin” an tia.
23 So he invited them in and they stayed there. The next day he got up and left with them. Some of the brothers from Joppa went with them too.
Ha mingei hah a koi lût ngeia, a min riek ngeia. Anangtûka ânthoka anni ngei leh, Joppa khuo iempu senkhat ngei le munkhatin an sea.
24 The following day they arrived in Caesarea where Cornelius was waiting for them with his relatives and close friends whom he'd called together.
Anangtûk nôka chu Caesarea khuo an tung zoia, Cornelius han a sûngsuokngei le a ruolngei a koibûma, Peter ngei an lei ngâk chiena.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.
Hanchu Peter ava lût rangtôn Cornelius'n a lei dônna, a ke bula khûkinbilin chubai a mûka.
26 But Peter pulled him back up, telling him, “Stand up! I'm only a man!”
Aniatachu Peter'n ama hah a kaithoia, “Inding roh, kei khom miriem dên ke ki ni,” a tia.
27 Peter spoke with Cornelius, and then went on in where he found many other people waiting for him.
A kôm chong pumin insûnga a lûta, mi tamtak intûp ngei hah ava mua.
28 He said to them, “You certainly know that it's not permitted for a Jew to be associated with or to visit foreigners. But God has shown me that it's not for me to call anyone impure or unclean.
An kôm han, “Juda mîn, Juda mi niloi pan rang le inloppui rangin Juda balamin phal mak ti nangni rengin nin riet. Hannirese, tute inthiengloi le annima ke be loina rangin Pathien'n mi min mu ani.
29 That's why I came without any argument when I was sent for. So now I want to know the reason why you sent for me.”
Masika han mi nin hong min koia han, ite makhal viet loiin ko hong kelen ani. Masik han nangni ki rekel imo mi nin hong koina bi?” a tia.
30 “Four days ago, at about this time—three in the afternoon—I was praying in my house,” Cornelius explained. “Suddenly I saw a man standing in front of me, dressed in clothes that shone brightly.
Cornelius'n a kôma, “Atûn zora tena hin sûnthum ani zoi. Chonûk dâr thum vêlin ki ina chubai ko thoa; harenghan mi inkhat puon chêk invo ka makunga a juong indinga.
31 He told me, ‘Cornelius, your prayers have been heard, and God has recognized your generosity to the poor.
‘Cornelius! Pathien'n nu chubaithona a riet zoi, nu lungkhamna sin ngei khom a riettit.
32 Send someone to Joppa for Simon Peter. He's staying at Simon the tanner's house, down by the sea-shore.’
Masikin Joppa khuoa mi tîr inla Simon Peter hong min koi roh, ama hah tuikhanglien panga savun sin ngâipu Simon ina a tung ani’ a tia.
33 So immediately I sent for you, and it was good of you to come. That's why we're all here, meeting together before God, ready to hear everything the Lord has told you.”
Male han no kôm mi ko hongtîr kelena; no hong hih râisân aom sabak. Pumapa'n chongril ranga nang a pêk riet rangin atûn hin Pathien mitmu'n kin rêngin kin om ani hi,” a tia.
34 Peter replied, “I'm totally convinced that God has no favorites.
Peter a hong chonga hi anghin a tia: “Pathien'n jâttin le namtin in-angsara a en ti ki riet minthâr zoi.
35 In every nation God accepts those who respect him, and do what is good and right.
Namtin lâia tukhom ama iema sin asa thopu murdi chu ama khôk thei mi anni ngâi.
36 You know the message he sent to Israel, sharing the good news of peace that comes from Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
Ama'n, mi murdi Pumapa, Jisua Khrista han Israel mingei kôma rangin inchamna râisânna Thurchi Sa chu a juong mintunga.
37 You know that this good news spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee, following John's call to baptism.
John'n Baptis roi a ril suole Galilee ram renga a phuta, Judea ram pumpuia a roi a chongril hah nin lei rieta.
38 It's about Jesus of Nazareth—how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went around doing good, healing all those who were under the devil's control, for God was with him.
Nazareth Jisua chu Pathien'n Ratha Inthieng le sinthotheinân min silin, Pathien han a ompui tita, sin sa thoa muntina a chai lâihan Diabol dûkmintong murdi ngei a mindama.
39 We can testify to all that he did in Judea and Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross.
Judea ram le Jerusalema a sintho murdi rietpuipungei kin ni, ama hah Khrosa jêmdelin an that ani.
40 But God raised him back to life on the third day, and had him appear,
Hanniresea, Pathien'n sûnthum suole a kaithoia mu theiin ânlâra,
41 not to everyone, but to those witnesses chosen by God—including us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
mitin mitmua chu inlâr maka, Pathien'n a rietpuipu ranga a lei thang keini ngei vai hin kin mu, ânthoinôk suole han Ama lehan kin sâkin kin nêk suom ngâi ani.
42 He gave us the responsibility of publicly telling this to the people, to testify that he is the one God chose as the Judge of the living and the dead.
Male hah thurchisa ril rang le Ama hah mi ring le mithi chunga roijêkpu'n Pathien'n a phun ti mi murdi min riet rangin chong mi pêk ani.
43 He is the one all the prophets spoke about, that everyone who trusts in him will receive forgiveness through his name.”
Dêipungei murdi khomin ama iem murdi'n a riming sikin an sietnangei ngâidam nîng an tih,” tiin an lei ril ngâi a tia.
44 While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on all of them who were listening to the message.
Peter chong a la ril bang lâiin, a chongril rangâi murdi chunga Ratha Inthieng ajuong chuma.
45 The Jewish believers who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the foreigners.
Juda iempungei Joppa khuo renga Peter hong jûipungei han Ratha Inthieng neinun pêk Jentailngei chunga khom ivur ani ti an rieta an kamâm oka.
46 They heard them speaking in tongues, glorifying God.
Chong rietloia chongrilin le Pathien roiinpuina minpâkin an rieta, Peter'n a thuona,
47 Then Peter asked, “Is anybody going to prevent them being baptized in water, since they have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
“Hi mingei hi kin chang anga Ratha Inthieng an chang ania, tuia baptis chang rangin tumo khap thei ngei ranga?” a tia.
48 He gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they pleaded with him to spend some time with them.
Masikin Jisua Khrista riminga baptis chang rang chong a pêk ngeia. Hanchu anni kôm han sûn tômte la châm rangin an ngêna.
