Acts 10
1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a cohort that is called Italian,
Acunüng, Ketarih khawa Konelih ngming naki Romah cetca keptin veki, acun cun Itali yekap ngvai ami ti.
2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, also doing many kind acts to the people, and always imploring God;
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 openly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to him, and saying to 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 he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your kind acts came 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 send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
“Tuhkbäih Jukpei mlüha khyang ja tüih lü khyang mat Sihmon Pita ngming naki jah khüsaka;
6 this one lodges with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one will speak to you what you must do.”
savun pyangkia Sihmona veia kaiki ni, a im cun mliktui peia veki ni” a ti.
7 And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his servants, and a pious soldier of those waiting 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 having expounded all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
ngthu a jah mtheh päng üng Jukpei mlüha a jah tüih.
9 And on the next day, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing near to the city, Peter went up on 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 wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell on him 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 he beholds Heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down on the earth,
Khankhaw nghmawng law lü jihnua mäiha kphyüa kitmaki mdeka kya lawse a hmuh.
12 in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky,
Acuna k'uma, khawmdek üng ngvak hükiea khisa avan ja khankhawa khae naküt vekie.
13 and there came a voice to him: “Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.”
A veia kthai pha lawki cun, “Pita aw, tho law; ja hnim lü jah eia” a ti.
14 And Peter said, “Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean”;
Acunsepi, Pita naw, “Bawipa aw, acukba am kya; am ngcimcaiki ja mtüikheh i am ei khawi veng” a ti.
15 and [there is] a voice again a second time to him: “What God cleansed, you do not declare common”;
Acunüng, Khana kthai naw anghnginaka, “Pamhnam naw a ngcimsak päng nang naw am ngcimcaiki käh tia” a ti.
16 and this was done three times, and again was the vessel received up to Heaven.
Acukba cia kthum vei ngdang law lü; acunüng acuna jiha mäih cun khankhawa a ju jäh law be.
17 And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, behold, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at 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 having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, lodges here.
Sihmon Pita ngmingnaki khin cun, acua a pha ja am a pha ngpyang u lü ami ju kthäh.
19 And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you;
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 but having risen, go down and go on with them, doubting nothing, because 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 and Peter having come down to the men who have been sent from Cornelius to him, said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek, what [is] the cause for which you are present?”
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, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for you, to his house, and to hear sayings from you.”
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 Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the next day Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brothers from Joppa went with 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 on the next day they entered into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives 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 it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, worshiped [him];
Pita a pha law üng, Konelih naw ana dokham lü a khaw kunga mbawki.
26 and Peter raised him, saying, “Stand up; I am also a man myself”;
Acunsepi, Pita naw ani cun mtho lü, “Ngdüia, kei pi nghngicima ni ka kya ve” a ti.
27 and talking with him he went in, and finds many having come together.
A veia a ngthuhei maha va lut lü khyang khawha ana ve se a hmu.
28 And he said to them, “You know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come to, one of another race, but God showed to me to call no 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 also without contradicting I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter you 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 until this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in radiant 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 he said, Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your kind acts were remembered before 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 for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, will speak to you;
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 at once, therefore, I sent to you; you also did well, having come; now, therefore, we are all present before God to hear all things that have been commanded you by 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 And Peter having opened his mouth, said, “Of a truth, I perceive that God is not favoring by appearance,
Pita naw pyen lü, “Pamhnam naw, khyang naküt atänga jah mceiki tia akcanga ka ksingki;
35 but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
acunsepi, au pi amät hjawkhah lü akdaw pawhkia khyang mjü naküt cun mkhawihnga lü jah dokhamki.
36 the word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news—peace through Jesus Christ (this One 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 you have known the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the immersion that 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 Jesus who [is] from Nazareth—how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the Devil, because 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 that He did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem—whom they slew, having hanged [Him] on a tree.
Judahea khaw ja Jerusalem mlüh a jah bilawh naküt kami saksinaki; ani cun kutlamktung üng taih u lü, ami hnim.
40 This One God raised up [on] the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
Pamhnam naw amhnüp thum üng mtho be lü a ngdangsak,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God—to us who ate with [Him], and drank with Him, after His rising out of 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 to the people, and to fully testify that it is He who has been ordained judge of living and dead by God—
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 this One do all the Prophets testify, that through His Name everyone that is believing in Him receives forgiveness 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 is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy Spirit fell on all those hearing the word,
Pita naw acuna ngthu a pyen hui üng, ngthu ngjakie naküta khana, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim pha lawki.
45 and those of circumcision [who were] believing were astonished—as many as came with Peter—because the gift of the Holy Spirit has also been poured out on the nations,
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 were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
Käh ksinga ngthu am ngthuhei u lü Pamhnam mhlünmtai u se, ami jah ksinga phäha kyaki. Acunüng, Pita naw jah msang lü,
47 Then Peter answered, “Is anyone able to forbid the water, that these may not be immersed, who received the Holy Spirit—even as us also?”
“Hine, mimi mäiha Ngmüimkhya Ngcim yah hngakie cun tui üng Baptican am khan khaiea, u naw a jah khyawh ni?” ti lü,
48 He commanded them to also be immersed in the Name of the LORD; then they implored him to remain certain days.
Jesuh Khritawa ngming am Baptican khan khaiea a jah mtheh. Acun käna Pita cun ami veia asäng ve khaia ami nghuinak.
