Acts 10
1 Now [there was] a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, 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, who 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 openly, as it were about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto 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, fastening his eyes upon him, and being affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are gone 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 fetch one Simon, who is surnamed 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.
savun pyangkia Sihmona veia kaiki ni, a im cun mliktui peia veki ni” a ti.
7 And when the angel that spake unto him 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 having rehearsed all things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
ngthu a jah mtheh päng üng Jukpei mlüha a jah tüih.
9 Now on the morrow, as they were 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 hungry, and desired to eat: 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 he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth:
Khankhaw nghmawng law lü jihnua mäiha kphyüa kitmaki mdeka kya lawse a hmuh.
12 wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and fowls of the heaven.
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 anything that is common and unclean.
Acunsepi, Pita naw, “Bawipa aw, acukba am kya; am ngcimcaiki ja mtüikheh i am ei khawi veng” a ti.
15 And a voice [came] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.
Acunüng, Khana kthai naw anghnginaka, “Pamhnam naw a ngcimsak päng nang naw am ngcimcaiki käh tia” a ti.
16 And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven.
Acukba cia kthum vei ngdang law lü; acunüng acuna jiha mäih cun khankhawa a ju jäh law be.
17 Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, 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 lodging there.
Sihmon Pita ngmingnaki khin cun, acua a pha ja am a pha ngpyang u lü ami ju kthäh.
19 And 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 But arise, and get thee down, and go with them, nothing doubting: 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 And Peter went down to the men, 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 a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned [of God] by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from 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 So he called them in and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the 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 on the morrow they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and his 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 when it came to pass that Peter entered, 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 raised 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 findeth many come together:
A veia a ngthuhei maha va lut lü khyang khawha ana ve se a hmu.
28 and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and [yet] unto me hath God shewed 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 wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye 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 keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,
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 saith, 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 unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
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 Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord.
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 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 acceptable to him.
acunsepi, au pi amät hjawkhah lü akdaw pawhkia khyang mjü naküt cun mkhawihnga lü jah dokhamki.
36 The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of 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 saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judaea, beginning 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 [even] Jesus of Nazareth, how that God anointed him 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 country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging 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 Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
Pamhnam naw amhnüp thum üng mtho be lü a ngdangsak,
41 not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were 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 charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he which is 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 bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on 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 amazed, 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 the 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 Jesus Christ. 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.
