Acts 10
1 Futhermore there was a certaine man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a captaine of the band called the Italian band,
kaisariyānagara itāliyākhyasainyāntargataḥ karṇīliyanāmā senāpatirāsīt
2 A deuoute man, and one that feared God with all his housholde, which gaue much almes to the people, and prayed God continually.
sa saparivāro bhakta īśvaraparāyaṇaścāsīt; lokebhyo bahūni dānādīni datvā nirantaram īśvare prārthayāñcakre|
3 He sawe in a vision euidently (about the ninth houre of the day) an Angel of God comming in to him, and saying vnto him, Cornelius.
ekadā tṛtīyapraharavelāyāṁ sa dṛṣṭavān īśvarasyaiko dūtaḥ saprakāśaṁ tatsamīpam āgatya kathitavān, he karṇīliya|
4 But when hee looked on him, hee was afrayd, and sayd, What is it, Lord? and he sayd vnto him, Thy prayers and thine almes are come vp into remembrance before God.
kintu sa taṁ dṛṣṭvā bhīto'kathayat, he prabho kiṁ? tadā tamavadat tava prārthanā dānādi ca sākṣisvarūpaṁ bhūtveśvarasya gocaramabhavat|
5 Nowe therefore send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
idānīṁ yāphonagaraṁ prati lokān preṣya samudratīre śimonnāmnaścarmmakārasya gṛhe pravāsakārī pitaranāmnā vikhyāto yaḥ śimon tam āhvāyaya;
6 Hee lodgeth with one Simon a Tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to doe.
tasmāt tvayā yadyat karttavyaṁ tattat sa vadiṣyati|
7 And when the Angel which spake vnto Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his seruants, and a souldier that feared God, one of them that waited on him,
ityupadiśya dūte prasthite sati karṇīliyaḥ svagṛhasthānāṁ dāsānāṁ dvau janau nityaṁ svasaṅgināṁ sainyānām ekāṁ bhaktasenāñcāhūya
8 And tolde them all things, and sent them to Ioppa.
sakalametaṁ vṛttāntaṁ vijñāpya yāphonagaraṁ tān prāhiṇot|
9 On the morow as they went on their iourney, and drew neere vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixt houre.
parasmin dine te yātrāṁ kṛtvā yadā nagarasya samīpa upātiṣṭhan, tadā pitaro dvitīyapraharavelāyāṁ prārthayituṁ gṛhapṛṣṭham ārohat|
10 Then waxed hee an hungred, and would haue eaten: but while they made some thing ready, he fell into a trance.
etasmin samaye kṣudhārttaḥ san kiñcid bhoktum aicchat kintu teṣām annāsādanasamaye sa mūrcchitaḥ sannapatat|
11 And hee sawe heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had bene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and was let downe to the earth.
tato meghadvāraṁ muktaṁ caturbhiḥ koṇai rlambitaṁ bṛhadvastramiva kiñcana bhājanam ākāśāt pṛthivīm avārohatīti dṛṣṭavān|
12 Wherein were all maner of foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
tanmadhye nānaprakārā grāmyavanyapaśavaḥ khecarorogāmiprabhṛtayo jantavaścāsan|
13 And there came a voyce to him, Arise, Peter: kill, and eate.
anantaraṁ he pitara utthāya hatvā bhuṁkṣva tampratīyaṁ gagaṇīyā vāṇī jātā|
14 But Peter sayd, Not so, Lord: for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is polluted, or vncleane.
tadā pitaraḥ pratyavadat, he prabho īdṛśaṁ mā bhavatu, aham etat kālaṁ yāvat niṣiddham aśuci vā dravyaṁ kiñcidapi na bhuktavān|
15 And the voyce spake vnto him againe the second time, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
tataḥ punarapi tādṛśī vihayasīyā vāṇī jātā yad īśvaraḥ śuci kṛtavān tat tvaṁ niṣiddhaṁ na jānīhi|
16 This was so done thrise: and the vessell was drawen vp againe into heauen.
itthaṁ triḥ sati tat pātraṁ punarākṛṣṭaṁ ākāśam agacchat|
17 Nowe while Peter douted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, meant, beholde, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had inquired for Simons house, and stoode at the gate,
tataḥ paraṁ yad darśanaṁ prāptavān tasya ko bhāva ityatra pitaro manasā sandegdhi, etasmin samaye karṇīliyasya te preṣitā manuṣyā dvārasya sannidhāvupasthāya,
18 And called, and asked, whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
śimono gṛhamanvicchantaḥ sampṛchyāhūya kathitavantaḥ pitaranāmnā vikhyāto yaḥ śimon sa kimatra pravasati?
19 And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit sayde vnto him, Beholde, three men seeke thee.
yadā pitarastaddarśanasya bhāvaṁ manasāndolayati tadātmā tamavadat, paśya trayo janāstvāṁ mṛgayante|
20 Arise therefore, and get thee downe, and goe with them, and doute nothing: For I haue sent them.
tvam utthāyāvaruhya niḥsandehaṁ taiḥ saha gaccha mayaiva te preṣitāḥ|
21 Then Peter went downe to the men, which were sent vnto him from Cornelius, and sayd, Beholde, I am he whome ye seeke: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
tasmāt pitaro'varuhya karṇīliyapreritalokānāṁ nikaṭamāgatya kathitavān paśyata yūyaṁ yaṁ mṛgayadhve sa janohaṁ, yūyaṁ kinnimittam āgatāḥ?
22 And they sayd, Cornelius the captaine, a iust man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Iewes, was warned from heauen by an holy Angel, to send for thee into his house, and to heare thy wordes.
tataste pratyavadan karṇīliyanāmā śuddhasattva īśvaraparāyaṇo yihūdīyadeśasthānāṁ sarvveṣāṁ sannidhau sukhyātyāpanna ekaḥ senāpati rnijagṛhaṁ tvāmāhūya netuṁ tvattaḥ kathā śrotuñca pavitradūtena samādiṣṭaḥ|
23 Then called he them in, and lodged them, and the next day, Peter went foorth with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accompanied him.
tadā pitarastānabhyantaraṁ nītvā teṣāmātithyaṁ kṛtavān, pare'hani taiḥ sārddhaṁ yātrāmakarot, yāphonivāsināṁ bhrātṛṇāṁ kiyanto janāśca tena saha gatāḥ|
24 And the day after, they entred into Cesarea. Nowe Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsemen, and special friends.
parasmin divase kaisariyānagaramadhyapraveśasamaye karṇīliyo jñātibandhūn āhūyānīya tān apekṣya sthitaḥ|
25 And it came to passe as Peter came in, that Cornelius met him, and fell downe at his feete, and worshipped him.
pitare gṛha upasthite karṇīliyastaṁ sākṣātkṛtya caraṇayoḥ patitvā prāṇamat|
26 But Peter tooke him vp, saying, Stand vp: for euen I my selfe am a man.
pitarastamutthāpya kathitavān, uttiṣṭhāhamapi mānuṣaḥ|
27 And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were come together.
tadā karṇīliyena sākam ālapan gṛhaṁ prāviśat tanmadhye ca bahulokānāṁ samāgamaṁ dṛṣṭvā tān avadat,
28 And he sayd vnto them, Ye know that it is an vnlawfull thing for a man that is a Iewe, to company, or come vnto one of another nation: but God hath shewed me, that I should not call any man polluted, or vncleane.
anyajātīyalokaiḥ mahālapanaṁ vā teṣāṁ gṛhamadhye praveśanaṁ yihūdīyānāṁ niṣiddham astīti yūyam avagacchatha; kintu kamapi mānuṣam avyavahāryyam aśuciṁ vā jñātuṁ mama nocitam iti parameśvaro māṁ jñāpitavān|
29 Therefore came I vnto you without saying nay, when I was sent for. I aske therefore, for what intent haue ye sent for me?
iti hetorāhvānaśravaṇamātrāt kāñcanāpattim akṛtvā yuṣmākaṁ samīpam āgatosmi; pṛcchāmi yūyaṁ kinnimittaṁ mām āhūyata?
30 Then Cornelius sayd, Foure dayes agoe, about this houre, I fasted, and at the ninth houre I prayed in mine house, and beholde, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
tadā karṇīliyaḥ kathitavān, adya catvāri dināni jātāni etāvadvelāṁ yāvad aham anāhāra āsan tatastṛtīyaprahare sati gṛhe prārthanasamaye tejomayavastrabhṛd eko jano mama samakṣaṁ tiṣṭhan etāṁ kathām akathayat,
31 And sayd, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almes are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
he karṇīliya tvadīyā prārthanā īśvarasya karṇagocarībhūtā tava dānādi ca sākṣisvarūpaṁ bhūtvā tasya dṛṣṭigocaramabhavat|
32 Send therefore to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter (he is lodged in the house of Simon a Tanner by the sea side) who when he commeth, shall speake vnto thee.
ato yāphonagaraṁ prati lokān prahitya tatra samudratīre śimonnāmnaḥ kasyaciccarmmakārasya gṛhe pravāsakārī pitaranāmnā vikhyāto yaḥ śimon tamāhūyaya; tataḥ sa āgatya tvām upadekṣyati|
33 Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done to come. Nowe therefore are we all here present before God, to heare all things that are commanded thee of God.
iti kāraṇāt tatkṣaṇāt tava nikaṭe lokān preṣitavān, tvamāgatavān iti bhadraṁ kṛtavān| īśvaro yānyākhyānāni kathayitum ādiśat tāni śrotuṁ vayaṁ sarvve sāmpratam īśvarasya sākṣād upasthitāḥ smaḥ|
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayd, Of a trueth I perceiue, that God is no accepter of persons.
tadā pitara imāṁ kathāṁ kathayitum ārabdhavān, īśvaro manuṣyāṇām apakṣapātī san
35 But in euery nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousnesse, is accepted with him.
yasya kasyacid deśasya yo lokāstasmādbhītvā satkarmma karoti sa tasya grāhyo bhavati, etasya niścayam upalabdhavānaham|
36 Ye know the worde which God hath sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Iesus Christ, which is Lord of all:
sarvveṣāṁ prabhu ryo yīśukhrīṣṭastena īśvara isrāyelvaṁśānāṁ nikaṭe susaṁvādaṁ preṣya sammelanasya yaṁ saṁvādaṁ prācārayat taṁ saṁvādaṁ yūyaṁ śrutavantaḥ|
37 Euen the worde which came through all Iudea, beginning in Galile, after the baptisme which Iohn preached.
yato yohanā majjane pracārite sati sa gālīladeśamārabhya samastayihūdīyadeśaṁ vyāpnot;
38 To wit, howe God anointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the deuill: for God was with him.
phalata īśvareṇa pavitreṇātmanā śaktyā cābhiṣikto nāsaratīyayīśuḥ sthāne sthāne bhraman sukriyāṁ kurvvan śaitānā kliṣṭān sarvvalokān svasthān akarot, yata īśvarastasya sahāya āsīt;
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Iewes, and in Hierusalem, whom they slewe, hanging him on a tree.
vayañca yihūdīyadeśe yirūśālamnagare ca tena kṛtānāṁ sarvveṣāṁ karmmaṇāṁ sākṣiṇo bhavāmaḥ| lokāstaṁ kruśe viddhvā hatavantaḥ,
40 Him God raysed vp the third day, and caused that he was shewed openly:
kintu tṛtīyadivase īśvarastamutthāpya saprakāśam adarśayat|
41 Not to all the people, but vnto the witnesses chosen before of God, euen to vs which did eate and drinke with him, after he arose from the dead.
sarvvalokānāṁ nikaṭa iti na hi, kintu tasmin śmaśānādutthite sati tena sārddhaṁ bhojanaṁ pānañca kṛtavanta etādṛśā īśvarasya manonītāḥ sākṣiṇo ye vayam asmākaṁ nikaṭe tamadarśayat|
42 And he commanded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testifie, that it is he that is ordained of God a iudge of quicke and dead.
jīvitamṛtobhayalokānāṁ vicāraṁ karttum īśvaro yaṁ niyuktavān sa eva sa janaḥ, imāṁ kathāṁ pracārayituṁ tasmin pramāṇaṁ dātuñca so'smān ājñāpayat|
43 To him also giue all the Prophets witnesse, that through his Name all that beleeue in him, shall receiue remission of sinnes.
yastasmin viśvasiti sa tasya nāmnā pāpānmukto bhaviṣyati tasmin sarvve bhaviṣyadvādinopi etādṛśaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadati|
44 While Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy Ghost fell on al them which heard the word.
pitarasyaitatkathākathanakāle sarvveṣāṁ śrotṛṇāmupari pavitra ātmāvārohat|
45 So they of the circumcision which beleeued, were astonied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was powred out the gift of the holy Ghost.
tataḥ pitareṇa sārddham āgatāstvakchedino viśvāsino lokā anyadeśīyebhyaḥ pavitra ātmani datte sati
46 For they heard them speake with tongues, and magnifie God. Then answered Peter,
te nānājātīyabhāṣābhiḥ kathāṁ kathayanta īśvaraṁ praśaṁsanti, iti dṛṣṭvā śrutvā ca vismayam āpadyanta|
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which haue receiued the holy Ghost, as well as we?
tadā pitaraḥ kathitavān, vayamiva ye pavitram ātmānaṁ prāptāsteṣāṁ jalamajjanaṁ kiṁ kopi niṣeddhuṁ śaknoti?
48 So he commanded them to be baptized in the Name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tary certaine dayes.
tataḥ prabho rnāmnā majjitā bhavateti tānājñāpayat| anantaraṁ te svaiḥ sārddhaṁ katipayadināni sthātuṁ prārthayanta|
