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.
Leleꞌ naa, hambu soldꞌadꞌu Roma esa, naran Kornelis. Ana leo mia kota Kaisarea. Kornelis ia, dadꞌi malangga mia soldꞌadꞌu natun esa. Ara mia dodꞌooꞌ, mia Italia rema.
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.
Kornelis no basa ume isi nara rala nara hii-nau neu Lamatualain. Te atahori Roma hetar nda onaꞌ naa sa. Kornelis tulu-fali atahori hata-taaꞌ, ma ana hii hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain.
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!”
Faiꞌ sa, mbei ma liiꞌ telu bobꞌo na, onaꞌ a nalamein. Ana nita relo-relo Lamatualain ate Na esa mia sorga noꞌe nae, “Kornelis!”
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].
Kornelis nita e, de namatau seli. Ana natane nae, “Taꞌo bee, malangga?” Ate naa nataa nae, “Lamatualain rena hule-oꞌe ma, ma nasanedꞌa rala malole ma neu atahori hata-taaꞌ ra. Ana o mete-seꞌu nggo boe.
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.
De ia naa, denu atahori esa kota Yope neu fo noꞌe nendi atahori esa, naran Simon Petrus.
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
Ana numban sia ume esa sia tasi suu na, no tukan nameu banda rouꞌ sa, naran Simon.”
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.
Lamatualain ate Na mia sorga olaꞌ basa ma, ana lao hela Kornelis. De Kornelis noꞌe mana tao-ues nara rua no soldꞌadꞌu na esa. Soldꞌadꞌu naa, rala na o hii-nau neu Lamatualain boe.
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].
Kornelis dui basa naa ra, ma denu se risiꞌ kota Yope.
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.
Mbila reorendu na ma, Kornelis dedenu nara rae deka Yope ena. Leleꞌ naa, Petrus neu hule-oꞌe mia Simon ume nambeleon ataꞌ.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
Ana hule-oꞌe te namedꞌa ndoe. Ana nahati atahori ra tao nanaat mei ata neu. Leleꞌ ana hule-oꞌe ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu e onaꞌ ana nalamein.
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].
Onaꞌ lalai a sii, ma teme loa-naruꞌ sa sou, doko-doko sia buku ka haaꞌ ra. Teme loa-naruꞌ naa, loe nema.
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.
Sia temeꞌ naa, nita banda mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Hambu banda ei haaꞌ, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, ma mbuiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ.
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
Ana rena haraꞌ esa denu e nae, “Petrus! Fela leo! Hala banda ra fo mua!”
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!”
Te Petrus nataa nae, “Nda bisa sa Lamatuaꞌ! Afiꞌ taꞌo naa! Au nda feꞌe ua ita banda mataꞌ naa ra sa! Hai atahori Yahudi ra miluli banda naa ra!”
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]!”
Te hara-liiꞌ naa olaꞌ baliꞌ nae, “Mete ma Lamatualain nae saa meumareꞌ, naa afiꞌ mae manggenggeoꞌ!”
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).
Temeꞌ naa sou lao telu ma Petrus o rena hara-liiꞌ lao telu boe, aiboiꞌ ma temeꞌ a nenebotiꞌ baliꞌ lalai ata neu.
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.
Petrus feꞌe dudꞌuꞌa neu-nema nae nahine meit naa sosoa na, te Kornelis ana dedenu nara losa Simon ume na ena. Ara rii-rii sia lelesu mataꞌ ena.
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
Ara roꞌe tenu umeꞌ a de ratane rae, “Hai sangga fuiꞌ esa numban sia ume ia. Naran Simon Petrus. Amaꞌ nahine e, do?”
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.
Petrus feꞌe dudꞌuꞌa saa fo nitaꞌ naa sosoan ma, Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na nafadꞌe e nae, “We, Petrus. Atahori sia raeꞌ, rema sangga nggo.
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]!”
Onda fo tungga se leo. Afiꞌ mumutau. Mae sira nda atahori Yahudi sa, ho afiꞌ melu-mudu se mae atahori manggenggeoꞌ, tungga atahori Yahudi ra adat na. Te Au, mana denu se rema haꞌi nggo.”
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?”
Basa ma, Petrus onda de neu nandaa no se. Natane nae, “Au ia, fo hei sanggaꞌ a. Hei parlu sa?”
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.’”
Ara rataa rae, “Malangga soldꞌadꞌu Roma esa denu hai ima. Ana malangga mia soldꞌadꞌu natun esa. Rala na ndos, ma hii-nau neu Lamatualain. Atahori Yahudi naeꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ malole na ena. Feꞌe afis sa, Lamatualain ate Na mia sorga denu hai malangga ma noꞌe amaꞌ muu sia ume na. Ana nae rena mia amaꞌ.”
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.
Petrus rena nala ma, noꞌe se sungguꞌ tetembaꞌ naa sia naa. Fetu na ma, ara fela de Petrus lao no se. Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori Na hira sia Yope, o reu ramaloloꞌ ro se boe.
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].
Tetembaꞌ naa ara sungguꞌ sia dalaꞌ. Mbilaꞌ neu dei de ara losa Kaisarea. Ara losa Kornelis ume na, te ana nahati se ena. Ana naꞌabꞌubꞌue nala bobꞌonggi nara ma nonoo nara sia naa.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
Petrus nae ume rala neu ma, Kornelis nelaꞌ neu, sendeꞌ lululangga na, fo beꞌutee neu e.
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]!”
Te Petrus nafefela e nae, “Aꞌa! Rii-rii leo. Afiꞌ beꞌutee neu au. Te au ia, atahori onaꞌ aꞌa boe.”
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].
Kornelis rena taꞌo naa ma, ana nambariiꞌ. Boe ma ruꞌa se ola-olaꞌ fo rae ume rala reu. Petrus mete neu ma, nita atahori hetar raꞌabꞌubꞌue sia naa, rahani e.
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.
Ana mete ndule se, ma olaꞌ nae, “Toronoo nggare. Hei bubꞌuluꞌ hai atahori Yahudi ra adat ma. Hai nda miꞌibꞌue mo atahori feaꞌ ra sa. Saa fai, masoꞌ ume nara rala. Te Lamatualain natudꞌu au nae, mete ma Eni olaꞌ nae saa meumareꞌ, au afiꞌ ae naa manggenggeoꞌ. De ia naa, au nda melumudꞌu atahori feaꞌ ra sa ena. Au musi tao se onaꞌ bobꞌonggi nggara.
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]?”
Naa de, hei moꞌe ma, au uma neuꞌ ena. Au nda nemba-nemba sa, huu Lamatualain nafadꞌe basa au ena. Te hei mifadꞌe sobꞌa dei! Hei parlu saa mia au?”
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,
Kornelis dui basa-bꞌasaꞌ e nae, “Fai haa mana laoꞌ naa, bobꞌo na, au hule oꞌe mia ume ngga. Aiboiꞌ ma, touꞌ esa ririi mia mata ngga. Bua na makahahadoꞌ.
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].
Ana noꞌe au nae, ‘Kornelis! Lamatualain rena basa hule-oꞌe ma ena, ma nasanedꞌa rala malole ma neu atahori hata-taaꞌ ra.
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].’
De ia naa, denu atahori risiꞌ kota Yope fo roꞌe atahori sa, naran, Simon Petrus. Ana numban ume esa sia tasi suu na, sia tukan nameu banda rouꞌ esa, nara na Simon boe.’
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].”
Naa de, au denu atahori reu roꞌe amaꞌ. Hai moꞌe makasi, huu amaꞌ nema. De ia naa, hai miꞌibꞌue, mae rena saa fo Lamatualain denu amaꞌ nafadꞌe hai.”
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].
Basa ma Petrus olaꞌ nae, “Ia naa, au feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ Lamatualain mete-seꞌu basa atahori ona esaꞌ. Nda pili-tadꞌa nae atahori Yahudi, do atahori nda Yahudi sa.
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
Mete ma atahori mia leo bee-bꞌee o rala na ndos, ma ana hii hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain, ma tungga Lamatualain hiihii-nanau Na, atahori naa tao namahoꞌo Lamatualain rala Na.
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].
Hei bubꞌuluꞌ saa fo Lamatualain nafadꞌe neu hai atahori Israꞌel ra, nae Eni haitua Atahori fo Eni dudꞌu basa eniꞌ a maꞌahulu na, naeni Yesus. Yesus naa, mate fo nadameꞌ atahori no Lamatualain. Ma Ana dadꞌi Malangga neu basa atahori ra.
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.
Hei o rena saa mana dadꞌiꞌ sia nusa Yudea. Dudꞌuit na eniꞌ a Yohanis nafadꞌe atahori ra nae, ara musi raloeꞌ mia salaꞌ nara. Boe ma ara musi sarani, fo dadꞌi bukti sira dame ro Lamatualain ena.
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.”
Lamatualain fee Dula-dale Meumare Na neu Yesus, atahori Nasaret naa. Ana o fee koasa Na neu E boe. De Yesus neu sia kambo-kamboꞌ, fo tao dala maloleꞌ fee atahori ra. Ana o tulu-fali atahori fo nitu ra malangga na tao naꞌasususaꞌ ra. Ana tao taꞌo naa, huu Lamatualain no E nakandooꞌ a.
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.
Hai ia ra, mita mo mata mara, saa fo ana tao mia Yerusalem, ma ndule atahori Yahudi ra nusa na. Te onaꞌ naa o, atahori ra feꞌe mbaku risa E mia hau ngganggeꞌ losa mate.
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].
Ana mate tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ, te finiesan ma, Lamatualain fee Ne nasodꞌa baliꞌ. Ana natudꞌu Ao na fo atahori rahine rae Ana nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena.
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).
Te nda basa atahori rita E sa, akaꞌ a hai. Ana nasodꞌa baliꞌ ma, hai mia-minu mo E. Ma Lamatualain o dudꞌu hai fo mifadꞌe Yesus Dudꞌui Malole Na neu basa atahori sia bee-bꞌee.
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].
Lamatualain denu hai mi mifadꞌe relo-relo soꞌal Atahori fo Ana dudꞌu eniꞌ a maꞌahulu na, naeni Yesus. Lamatualain o soꞌu E dadꞌi mana maꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat fo naꞌetuꞌ seka nasodꞌa nakandoo no Lamatualain, ma seka hokoꞌ. Ana o naꞌetuꞌ atahori mates ma atahori masodꞌaꞌ ra dedꞌeat nara boe.
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.”
Mia dalahulu na neu, Lamatualain mana ola-ola Nara dudꞌu Yesus ia, rae sudꞌiꞌ a se namahere neu E, dei fo Lamatualain simbo se, ma fee ambon neu sala nara.”
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.
Petrus feꞌe olaꞌ naꞌo naa, aiboiꞌ ma Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na masoꞌ basa atahori mana renaꞌ ra.
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.
Petrus nonoo Yahudi nara mana rema ro e mia Yope, ara o risiꞌ Kornelis ume na sia kota Kaisarea. Ara rita atahori hetar simbo Lamatualain Dula-dale Na ma, ara titindindi, huu feꞌe rita Lamatualain fee Dula-dale Na neu atahori nda Yahudi sa.
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.
Ara rena atahori mia Kornelis ume na olaꞌ dedꞌeat mataꞌ-mataꞌ ma koa-kio Lamatualain. Basa ma Petrus olaꞌ no nonoo nara nae,
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]”
“Hei mete neuꞌ ena! Atahori ia ra simbo Lamatualain Dula-dale Na onaꞌ hita boe. De ia naa, ata sarani se leo. Te esa nda ai saꞌ boe.”
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].
De Petrus denu nonoo nara fo sarani Kornelis no atahori naa ra, fo ara masoꞌ dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori Nara. Basa ma, ara roꞌe Petrus leo no sira fai hira fai, dei de feꞌe fee ne baliꞌ Yerusalem neu.
