Acts 10
1 [There was] a man [who lived] in Caesarea [city] whose name was Cornelius. He was an officer who commanded 100 men in a large group of [Roman] soldiers from Italy.
Rome te sepai lamkai Cornelius atiu mikhat Caesarea ah ana chengin, ama chu Italia loi atiu sepai jalamkai ahi.
2 He always tried to do what would please God; he and his entire household [MTY] [were non-Jews who] habitually worshipped God. He sometimes gave money to help poor [Jewish] people, and he prayed to God regularly.
Amapa chu Pathen ngaisah tah le ainsung mi jouse toh Pathen gingmi ahin; migenthei ho hongphal tah-a pejing le Pathen henga taojing mi ahi.
3 [One day] at about three o’clock in the afternoon [Cornelius saw] a vision. He clearly saw an angel whom God [had sent]. The angel came into [his room] and said to him, “Cornelius!”
Nikhat nilhah lam nidan thum donin mu aneiyin athilmu achun Pathen vantil khat ahenga ahungin “Cornelius!” ahung tin ahi.
4 Cornelius stared at the angel and became terrified. Then he asked [fearfully], “Sir, what do you [(sg)] want?” The angel answered him, “You [(sg)] have pleased God because you have been praying [regularly to him] and you often give money to [help] poor people. [Those things have been] like a sacrifice [to God].
Chuin Cornelius chun kichatah-in aven, “Ipi ham Pakai,” tin adong tan ahi. Chule Vantil chun ahin donbut in, “Nataona le migenthei ho dinga nathilpeh ho chu Pathen in thilto bangin nasanpeh tai!
5 So, now command some men to go to Joppa and [tell them to] bring back a man named Simon whose other name is Peter.
Tun nangman mi themkhat solin lang Joppa-a um Simon Peter kitipa khu gakousah tan.
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
Ama twikhanglen panga Simon kiti savun sem mikhat in'ah aume,” ati.
7 When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had gone, Cornelius summoned two of his household servants and a soldier who served him, one who also worshipped God.
Chuin vantil in adalhah lhah in Cornelius chun ainsunga lhacha ni le akinbola pang jing Pathen ngaisah tah sepai ho lah a khat akouvin,
8 He explained to them everything [that the angel had said. Then] he told them to go to Joppa [to ask Peter to come to Caesarea].
Thilsoh jouse aseipeh jouvin amaho chu Joppa ah asol tan ahi.
9 About noon the next day those [three men] were traveling [along the road] and were coming near [Joppa. As they were approaching Joppa], Peter went up on the [flat] housetop to pray.
Ajing nikho in Cornelius thupoho khopi sung alhun ding konun Peter chu indan chunga tao dingin ahung kaldoh in hichu sun nidan som don ahi.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
Chule ama chu agilkel in, ahivangin aneh ding an asem laitah-un ama agaochangin,
11 (He saw heaven open/He saw an opening in the sky) and something like a large sheet was being lowered [to the ground]. [It was tied at] its four corners [with ropes].
Chuin vankot akihona lekha pheng lentah tobang khat aning lia ahung kikhai lhah amun,
12 Inside the sheet were all kinds of creatures. [These included animals and birds that the Mosaic laws forbade Jews to eat]. Some had four feet, others scurried across the ground, and others were wild birds.
Chuin hiche lekha pheng lentah tobang sunga chun ganhing namkim le tol'a vah ganhing chule chunga leng vacha ho aumun,
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
Chuin aw khat in ahenga ahin seiyin, “Peter, kipatdoh inlang chule kithan lang nen,” ati.
14 But Peter replied, “Lord, surely you [(sg)] do not [really want me to do that]! I have never eaten any [meat] that [our Jewish law says] is unacceptable to God or [something that we(exc)] must not eat!”
Chuin Peter in adonbut in, “Ahipoi Pakai, ajeh chu imatih chanin keiman Judate dan thu dungjuiya satheng lou le saboh kanekhapoi,” ati.
15 [Then Peter heard] [MTY] God talk to him a second time. He said, “[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!”
Ahivangin aw chun ahinsei kit-in, “Pathen in asuhtheng sa chu athenglou tidan,” ati.
16 [This happened] three [times, so Peter knew that he had to think carefully about what it might mean]. Immediately [after God had said that the third time], ([the] sheet [with the animals and birds] was the pulled back into heaven/[someone] pulled the sheet [with the animals and birds] up into the sky again).
chuti chun thumveijen kibang chet'in mu aneiyin chujouvin hetmanlou kah'in lekha pheng lentah tobang chu vana khai touvin aumtan ahi.
17 While Peter was trying to understand what that vision meant, the men who had been sent by Cornelius {whom Cornelius had sent} [arrived in Joppa. They asked people how to get to] Simon’s house. [So they found his house] and were standing outside the gate.
Chuin Peter chun gaova athilmu chu ipi kiseina ahidem tia lunggim tah-a ana umlaitah in Cornelius in ahin sol miho chun Simon in chu ahin holdoh-un, amaho chu kelkot ah ana dinguvin,
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
Amaho chun hiche laiya hi Simon Peter kiti mikhat cheng em tin adong-un ahi.
19 While Peter was still trying to understand [what] the vision [meant], [God’s] Spirit said to him, “Three men [are here who] want to see you.
Chuin Peter in gaova athilmu chu ipi ahidem tia ana gel jing laiyin Lhagao Thengin ahenga thu ahin seiyin, “Mithum tah in nangma nahol'e,
20 So get up and go downstairs and go with them! Do not think that you [(sg)] should not go with them [because of their being non-Jews], because I have sent them [here]!”
Kipatdoh in, kumsuh inlang amaho toh kilhon ding khu thase hih beh in, chule lungkham hih in ajeh chu keiman amaho khu kahin sol ahi,” ati.
21 So Peter went down to the men and said to them, “[Greetings!] I am [the man] you are looking for. Why have you come?”
Chuin Peter akum suh in amaho koma “Nahol-u mipa chu keima kahi, ipi dinga hung nahiu vem?” tin adong tan ahile,
22 One of them replied, “Cornelius, who is a [Roman] army officer, [sent us here]. He is a righteous man who worships God, and all of the Jewish people [HYP] [who know about him] say that he is a very good man. An angel (who was sent from God/whom God sent) said to him, ‘Tell some men to [go to Joppa to see Simon Peter and] bring him here, so that you [(sg)] can hear what he has to say.’”
Amahon adonbut-un, “Keiho hi Cornelius kiti Pathen gingtah mi chule Judaten ajabol-u Rome sepai jalamkai pa chun eihin sol-u ahin, chule nangma thusei hi ainsung mite toh angaithei nadinga vantil theng khat'in thu apeh bang banga nakouva hung kahiuve,” atiuvin ahi.
23 So Peter [said that he would go with them, and then he] invited them into [the house] and told them that they could stay [there that night]. Acts 10:23b-26 The next day Peter got ready and went with the men. Several of the believers from Joppa went with him.
Chuin Peter in amaho chu akoulut in a-in'ah jankhat agesah-in, ajing in Joppa a kona sopi themkhat toh akilhon tauvin ahi.
24 The day after that, they arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them. He had also invited his relatives and close friends [to come to his house, so they were there, too].
Ajing nikhon amaho Caesarea ahung lhung tauvin ahile Cornelius in a-insung mite le aloi agolho ana koukhomin ana ngah tauvin ahi.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
Chuin Peter insunga alut in ahile Cornelius chu akengbula abohkhup in chibai abohtan ahi.
26 But Peter [grasped Cornelius by the hand and] lifted him to his feet. He said, “Stand up! [Do not revere/worship me] I myself am only human, [like you]!”
Ahinlah Peter chun akai dingin, “Dingdoh in keijong nang banga mihem khat kahi bouve!” ati.
27 While he was talking to Cornelius, Peter [and the others] entered [a large room inside the house]. Peter saw that many people had gathered together [there].
Chuti chun amani akihoulim lim lhonin insunga mitampi kikhop khomna achun alut lhon in,
28 Then Peter said to them, “You all know that any [of us] Jews think we are disobeying [our Jewish] laws if we [(exc)] associate with a non-Jewish person or [if we even] visit him. However, God has shown me [in a vision] that I should not say about anyone that God will not accept him.
Chuin Peter in amaho henga chun, “Judah mikhat hitia chidang namdangte in'a alut hi Judah te chonna dan toh kitoh lou ahi naheuve, Ahin Pathen in koima aboh le athenglou tia kagel lou nadinga eimusah ahitai.
29 So when you sent [some men] to ask me to come [here], I came [right away. I] did not say that I could not go [with non-Jewish people. So, please tell me], why have you asked me to come [here]?”
Hijeh a chu lungthoi louhela eihin kou banga kahung jeng ahi. Tun ipi dinga neihin kou ham seitan,” ati.
30 Cornelius replied, “About this time four days ago I was praying [to God] in my house, [as I regularly do] at three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man whose clothes [shone] brightly stood in front of me,
Chuin Cornelius in adonbut in, “Nili masang, tuphat chet nilhah lang nidan thum donin ka insunga kataovin ahileh, hetman lou kah-in ka masang laitah a ponbanga kivon mikhat ka-anga ahung dingin;
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, when you [(sg)] have prayed, you have been heard by God {God has heard [when] you [(sg)] have prayed [to him]}. He has also noticed that you have [often] given money to [help] poor people, [and he is pleased with that].
Hitin ahin seiyin ahi, ‘Cornelius Pathen in nataona ajatan genthei ho dinga nathil pha bol jong amutai!
32 So now, send [messengers to go] to Joppa, [in order] to ask Simon whose other name is Peter to come [here]. He is staying near the ocean in a house that belongs to [another] man named Simon, who makes leather. [When Simon Peter comes, he will tell you a message from God].’
Tun nangman Joppa a mi solin lang, Simon Peter kiti mipa khu gakousah tan. Ama twikhanglen panga Simon kiti savun sempa in'ah aume’ ati.
33 So I immediately sent [some men who asked] you [(sg) to come here], and I [certainly] thank you for coming. Now we [(exc)] all are gathered [here, knowing that] God is with us, in order to hear all the things that the Lord [God] has commanded you [to say. So please speak to us].”
Hijeh a chu nangma kouva mi kahin sol ahin, nahung hi apha lheh jenge, chule tun Pakaiyin thu napehho ngaiding in hikoma Pathen angsunga ahin ibon chauvin iki khom tauve,” ati.
34 So Peter began to speak [MTY] to them. He said, “[Now] I understand that it is true that God does not favor only certain groups [of people].
Chuin Peter in adon but-in, “Pathen in mi lungset tum anei poi ti kichen tah in kamutai;
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
Ahin chitin namtin lah a koi hijongle Ama ginga thildih bolho chu ama dinga lahthei ahi.
36 [You know] the message that God sent to [us] Israelis. [He] proclaimed [to us the good news that he] would cause [people] to have peace [with him] because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. This [Jesus is Lord not only over us Israelis. He] is [also the] Lord [who rules] over all [people].
Chule hiche hi Israel chatea dinga kipana thupha ahi–Yeshua Christa mijouse Pakai vanga Pathen toh kichamna aum hi.
37 You know what [he] did throughout the land of Judea, beginning in Galilee. He began [to do those things] after John had been proclaiming [to people that they should turn away from their sinful behavior before] he baptized them.
John in twilut thudol ahin lhangsap pat a pat Galilee a kipan Judea gam pumpia ipi thilsoh em nanghon naheuve.
38 You know that God gave [MTY] his Holy Spirit to Jesus, [the Man] from Nazareth [town], and gave him the power [to do miracles. You also know] how Jesus went to many places, always doing good deeds and healing [people. Specifically], he was continually healing all the people whom the devil was causing to suffer. [Jesus was able to do those things] because God was always helping him.”
Chule Pathen in Nazareth Yeshua chu Lhagao Theng le thahatna-a thao anua chule Yeshua avalea thilpha abolho leh Pathen in aumpi jal'a satan suhgima umho aboldam chu nanghon naheuve.
39 “We [apostles] tell people about all the things that [we saw Jesus] do in Jerusalem and in the [rest of] Israel. [The leaders in Jerusalem] had him killed by being nailed to a cross.
Chule keiho solchahho hi Judah gam pumpi le Jerusalema athilbol ho jouse hettohsah kahiuve. Ama chu thingpel chunga akhaisang un athat tauve.
40 However, God caused him to become alive again on the third day [after he had died]. God [also] enabled [some of us(exc)] to see him [so that we would know that he was alive again].
Ahin Pathen in ama chu anithum nin akaithou vin aki phondohsah tan ahi.
41 God [did] not [let] all the [Jewish] people see him. Instead, he had chosen us [apostles] beforehand to see [Jesus after he became alive again], and to tell others [about him]. We [apostles are the people] who ate meals with him (after he had become alive [again]/after he had risen from the dead).
Hichu mijouse henga hilouvin, athu hettohsah dinga Pathen in ana lhendoh sa, athodoh jouva amatoh nekhom le donkhom keiho henga kiphong ahi.
42 God commanded us to preach to the people and tell them that Jesus is the one whom he has appointed to judge [everyone some day. He will judge all] those who will [still] be living and all those who will have died [by that time].
Chule Yeshua chu mihing le mithi ho jouse thutan ahi ti thudol hi hille ding le hettoh sah dinga keiho hi thu eipeh-u ahi.
43 All of the prophets [who wrote about the Messiah long ago] told [people] about him. [They wrote] that if people believe in the Messiah [MTY], God would forgive [them for] their sins, because of what [the Messiah would do] for them.”
Ama tahsan ho jouse Amin jal a achonset nau kingaidam ding ahi tia themgao ho jousen ahettoh sah-u chu ama chu ahi,” ati.
44 While Peter was still speaking those words, suddenly the Holy Spirit (came down on/began to control) all [those non-Jewish people] who were listening to the message.
Chuin Peter in thu hicheng asei jing laiyin athu ngaiho jouse chunga Lhagao Theng ahung chutan ahile,
45 The Jewish believers who had come with Peter [from Joppa] were amazed that [God] had generously given the Holy Spirit to the non-Jewish people, too.
Peter toh hung khom Judah mi atahsan ho chun chidang namdang te chunga jong Lhagao Theng akipeh chu kidang asalheh jengun ahi.
46 [The Jewish believers knew that God had done that] because they were hearing those people speaking languages [MTY] [that they had not learned] and telling how great God is.
Ijeh-inem itile amahon paochom paochoma thu aseiyuva Pathen avahchoi uchu ajah-u ahi.
47 Then Peter said [to the other Jewish believers who were there], “[God] has given them the Holy Spirit just like [he gave him] to us [Jewish believers], so (surely all of you would agree that [we(exc)] should baptize these people!/would any of you forbid that these people should be baptized?) [RHQ]”
Chuin Peter in adong un, “Eiho banga Lhagao Theng changa hiteho baptize chanlouna dinga twi kham theiya koi umam?” ati.
48 Then Peter told those [non-Jewish] people that they should be baptized [to show that they had believed] [MTY] in the [Lord] Jesus Christ. [So they baptized all of them. After they were baptized], they requested that Peter stay [with them] several days. [So Peter and the other Jewish believers did that].
Chuin aman Yeshua Christa mina baptize chang dingin amaho chu thu apetan, chujouvin Cornelius in amaho henga nikho phabep um ding'in alhotan ahi.
