Acts 10
1 There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
Acunüng, Ketarih khawa Konelih ngming naki Romah cetca keptin veki, acun cun Itali yekap ngvai ami ti.
2 [A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
Ani cun Pamhnam üng hlimtui lü, a ima vekie ami van naw Pamhnam kyühkie, mpyenkseki Judah khyange jah petmsawt lü aktäa ktaiyüki.
3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
Acuna, mhnüp mülam naji kthum bang üng, Pamhnama khankhawngsä mat law lü, “Konelih aw” ti lü ngkhü lawki cun angsing hmumkthehnak a hmuh.
4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
Acunüng, Konelih naw a kyühnak am bükteng lü, “Bawipa aw, ini?” a ti. Acunüng, ani naw, “Na ktaiyünak ja na petmsawte naw Pamhnam jesak se, Pamhnam naw na ktaiyünak ning msang khaia kyaki.
5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter:
“Tuhkbäih Jukpei mlüha khyang ja tüih lü khyang mat Sihmon Pita ngming naki jah khüsaka;
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
savun pyangkia Sihmona veia kaiki ni, a im cun mliktui peia veki ni” a ti.
7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
Acunüng, ngthuheipüikia khankhawngsä a ceh be ja, Konelih naw a mpya üngka nghngih ja, anglätse khüikie üngka Pamhnam üpnaki yekap mat khü lü;
8 And when he had declared all [these] things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
ngthu a jah mtheh päng üng Jukpei mlüha a jah tüih.
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
Angawi üng, ami ceh lam mlüh pei ami pha law hlü üng, Pita cun ktaiyü khaia im mkhyuma kaiki.
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
A ei naw mcawi law se, bu ei law hlüki; cunsepi, a ei vai ami pawh k'um üng Mhnama mdannak a hmuh.
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
Khankhaw nghmawng law lü jihnua mäiha kphyüa kitmaki mdeka kya lawse a hmuh.
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Acuna k'uma, khawmdek üng ngvak hükiea khisa avan ja khankhawa khae naküt vekie.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
A veia kthai pha lawki cun, “Pita aw, tho law; ja hnim lü jah eia” a ti.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
Acunsepi, Pita naw, “Bawipa aw, acukba am kya; am ngcimcaiki ja mtüikheh i am ei khawi veng” a ti.
15 And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Acunüng, Khana kthai naw anghnginaka, “Pamhnam naw a ngcimsak päng nang naw am ngcimcaiki käh tia” a ti.
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
Acukba cia kthum vei ngdang law lü; acunüng acuna jiha mäih cun khankhawa a ju jäh law be.
17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,
Pita naw mdannak a hmuh cun asuilam am ksing lü ana ve k'um üng, Koneliha a tüiha khyange naw Sihmona a im ngthäh law u lü mkawt peia ngdüi lawki he.
18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
Sihmon Pita ngmingnaki khin cun, acua a pha ja am a pha ngpyang u lü ami ju kthäh.
19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
Acunüng, Pita naw mdannak a hmu cun, a ngaikyu hui üng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw a veia, “Ngaia, khyang kthum naw ning sui hü ve u.
20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
Acunakyase, tho law lü ju kyuma, käh cücawn lü jah läka; anini cun keia jah tüih law ni” a ti.
21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause wherefore ye are come?
Acunüng, Pita cun, acunea veia kyum lü ami veia, “Nami sui hü hin kei ni; ia phäha nami lawki ni?” a ti.
22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
Amimi naw, “Konelih, yekap ngvai, khyang kdaw, Pamhnam kyühki, Judah khyange naküt üng ngming dawnak yaki naw a ima nang ning khü lü na ngthu pyen ngai khaia, Pamhnama khankhawngsä mat naw a mtheha kyaki” ami ti.
23 Then called he them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
Pita naw, acuna khyange cun im k'uma ja luhpüi lü a jah khinnak. A ngawia Pita cun tho law lü ami veia cit se, Jukpei mlüha ka, jumeikie avange pi a veia cit hngakie.
24 And the morrow after they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
Angawi be kce üng, Ketarih mlüha phakie. Acuia, Konelih naw a khyange ja a püie ja khü lü, anini cun ami jah na k'äih.
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped [him].
Pita a pha law üng, Konelih naw ana dokham lü a khaw kunga mbawki.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
Acunsepi, Pita naw ani cun mtho lü, “Ngdüia, kei pi nghngicima ni ka kya ve” a ti.
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
A veia a ngthuhei maha va lut lü khyang khawha ana ve se a hmu.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
Ami veia, “Judah khyang naw khyangmjükce ngkhawtpüi lü ami veia a ceh hü vai käh nglawiki tia nami ksingki; acunsepi, ‘U pi am ngcim, phyawksak ve’ käh ka ti vaia, Pamhnam naw na mtheh pängki ni.
29 Therefore came I [unto you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
Acunakyase, na na khü law ja, käh dam lü ka lawkia kyaki. Acunakyase ka ning jah kthäh khai, “Ia phäha nami na khü lawki ni?” a ti.
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
Konelih naw, “Ahin kcün mhnüp kthum anghjawk üng, ka ima naji kthum üng ka ktaiyü k'um üng; khyang mat suisak bawk suisa lü, ka maa ngdüi lawki naw,
31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
‘Konelih aw, na ktaiyünak Pamhnam naw ngja ve, na petmsawt ja na bilawh naküt pi Pamhnam naw ksing ve.
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of [one] Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
Acunakyase, Jukpei mlüha khyang tüi lü Sihmon, Pita ami ti cun, na veia khüa; ani cun mliktui pei, savun pyangki Sihmona ima kaiki ni’ a ti.
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
Acunakyase, na veia khyang angxita ka tüih lawa kyaki; na law hin daw ve. Acunakyase, Bawipa naw ngthu aning mtheh naküt ngai khaia, atuh Pamhnama hmuha kami van hin üng kami veki” a ti.
34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Pita naw pyen lü, “Pamhnam naw, khyang naküt atänga jah mceiki tia akcanga ka ksingki;
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
acunsepi, au pi amät hjawkhah lü akdaw pawhkia khyang mjü naküt cun mkhawihnga lü jah dokhamki.
36 The word which [God] sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all: )
“Ani naw, acuna ngthu cun nami ksingki, acun hin Jesuh Khritaw üngkhyüh dim’yenaka thangkdaw Isarel veia a peta kyaki. ‘Jesuh cun khyang naküta Bawia kyaki’ tia nami ksingki.
37 That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judæa, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Johan naw Baptican khamnaka mawng ngthu a pyen käna, Kalile üngkhyüh cutei lü Isarel khaw naküt üng ngthu ngthang hükia münkse bilawhnake cun nangmi naw pi nami ksingki;
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Nazaret Jesuha mawng ta ania khana Pamhnam naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ja johit am a besak; ani cun Pamhnama veia vekia kyase, khyanga khana akdaw pawh lü khawyaia jah khuimkhae naküt jah mdaw be lü cit hüki.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
Judahea khaw ja Jerusalem mlüh a jah bilawh naküt kami saksinaki; ani cun kutlamktung üng taih u lü, ami hnim.
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
Pamhnam naw amhnüp thum üng mtho be lü a ngdangsak,
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, [even] to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
acunsepi, khyang naküta veia am kya lü, keimie kami saksi khaia Pamhnam naw a jah xü, thihnak üngkhyüh a thawh be käna amät am atänga eiaw yüm khaia a jah mtheh ni.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God [to be] the Judge of quick and dead.
Acuna Bawipa cun akthie ja akxüng hea khana ngthumkhyah khaia Pamhnam naw a mcawna kyaki tia, khyangea veia sang hü khaiea, jah ksing hüsak khaiea, Pamhnam naw ngthu a jah pet.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
A u pi, ani jumeiki naküt, a ngminga phäha a mkhyekatnak mhlätnak yah khai tia, ania mawng cun sahmae naküt naw ami sang khawi ni” a ti.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
Pita naw acuna ngthu a pyen hui üng, ngthu ngjakie naküta khana, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim pha lawki.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Pitaa veia law hngakie Judah jumeiki khyange naw, khyangmjükceea khana pi Pamhnam naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim a pha lawsak hmu u lü cäikie.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Käh ksinga ngthu am ngthuhei u lü Pamhnam mhlünmtai u se, ami jah ksinga phäha kyaki. Acunüng, Pita naw jah msang lü,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
“Hine, mimi mäiha Ngmüimkhya Ngcim yah hngakie cun tui üng Baptican am khan khaiea, u naw a jah khyawh ni?” ti lü,
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Jesuh Khritawa ngming am Baptican khan khaiea a jah mtheh. Acun käna Pita cun ami veia asäng ve khaia ami nghuinak.
