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.
Kaisaria lo Kornelias vnam nyi ako dooto, Hv Rom sipai rejiment gv kiapten bv rito, um “Italian rejiment” vla minto.
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.
Hv dormo nyi ako; hv okv ninyigv vpin mvnwng ngv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumnvjoonv go. Hv Jius nyi heema nvnga ka kaadur nvgo okv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumbwng nvgo.
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!”
Alu logo lo arium gv gunta aom rilo hv nyikrwgo kaato, hv pvbwngvrwngbv kaato Pwknvyarnv gv nyidogindung go aala okv ninyia minto, “Kornelias!”
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].
Hv nyidogindung nga busula kaadi chinchi to okv minto, “Tamsarnv, si oguv?” Nyidogindung ngv mirwkto, “Pwknvyarnv noogv kumnam okv jilakrumlak nama alvbv mvngdu, okv nam mirwk sudubv mvngdu.
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.
Okv vjak Joppa lo nyi meego vngmuto nyi daadwvrw rungnv go vkvgv aminv Saimon Pitar kv.
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
Hv apin mvnv Saimon vnam, svmasa agum lo naam doonv gvlo nyen bv rila doodu.”
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.
Vbvrikunamv nyidogindung ngv vnglintoku, okv Kornelias ninyigv naam gv nyira anyigo okv sipai ako, nyi dormo lo doonv ako, hogv akonv vv ninyigv atubogv lokv kaaria tarianvgo to.
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].
Hv ogugo ripvdw bunua mimpa toku okv bunua Joppa lo vngmu toku.
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.
Alu logo nvnga, bunu lamtv bv vngdungto okv Joppa gv nvchilo aari nga, donyitabv nga Pitar kumbv naam namwng aulo chaato.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
Hv kano toku okv ogugo dvnwng toku; vdwlo dvnam nga mvdung la ripv nga, hv nyikrwgo kaato.
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].
Hv nyidomooku gv agiya kokko dubv kaapato okv ogu ako vji jvbor bortvnv aingbv kaanv go atung tungpi nga kvlum tola sichingmooku bv oolu dubv kaapa toku.
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.
Hoka piakarnv svnwngsvmin nvgwng nvngv dooto, okv mootum pvta ngvka.
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
Vlvgo ninyia minto, “Pitar, gudungto; mvkitvla okv dvvto!”
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!”
Vbvrikunamv Pitar mirwksito, “Ahtu, vbv makv! Ngo oguguka darmanv okv darwk manv go dvka mapvnv.”
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]!”
Ninyia lvkodv vlvgo mindvto, “Pwknvyarnv gv darwk pvnvkv vnama no darwkmanv gubv miyoka.”
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).
So si lvom go rito, okv vbvrikunamv um nyidomooku bv naakur chaatoku.
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.
Pitar nyikrw kaanama lamrw palaku si ogugubvri vla mvngla doori lo, ho Kornelias gv vngmunam nyi mvnwng ngv Saimon gv naam am chintoku, okv bunu vdwv vjak agi peelv ho daknyato.
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
Bunu gokto okv tvvka nyato, “So si Saimon Pitar vnam nyen ako dopvre?”
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.
Pitar vjv gubv ninyigv nyikrw kaanama ogugubvri mvngla chindubv rito, Darwknv Dowv minto, “Tvvriato! soka ka nyi aom go nam makar kardu.
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]!”
Vkvlvgabv gudung toku okv pvkwng bv ito, bunua lvkobv vngdubv mvngram mabvkv ngo bunua kanam la vngmu pvnv.”
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?”
Vkvlvgabv Pitar itoku okv nyi vdwa minto, “Nonugv makar nam nyiv ngookv. Nonu ogu mvlwk pvnv?”
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.’”
“Kiapten nyigam Kornelias ngonuam kanam pvnv,” bunu mirwksito. “Hv alvnv nyi ako Pwknvyarnv ninyia kumnvjonv go okv Jius nyi mvnwng ngv ninyia kaibv mvngdv nyadunv. Pwknvyarnv gv nyidogindung ako ninyia minto ninyigv naam lo nam goktokv vla, vkvlvgabv noogv minama ninyia tvvmu dubv.”
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.
Pitar nyi vdwa arwngbv goklwkto okv bunua ho ayu miyayala yupmuto. Logo nvngaku hv gwngrapsingrap tokula okv bunugv lvkobv vngtoku; okv mvngjwngnv meego Joppa lokvka ninyia lvkobv vngming gvvtoku.
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].
Alu logo nvngaku hv Kaisaria lo vngchi toku, okaku ogolo Kornelias ninyia kaaria la, ninyigv agungaram vdwa lvkobv doobam la dooto kudw okv ajin vdwa ninyigv goknam dvdv nga lvkobv doobam toku.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
Pitar arwngbv aatv ringa, Kornelias ninyia kaarwk sito, okv ninyigv lvpalo gupba la okv ninyigv kaagia guplwkto.
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]!”
Vbvritola Pitar ninyia svdungto. Hv minto; “Dakrapto, Ngooka nyi ngvmabv.”
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].
Pitar Korneliasnyi gaam japmi sila hv naam arwng bv aatoku, ninyia hoka nyi achialvgo dopam dubv kaapato.
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.
Hv bunua minto, “Nonu atubongv alvbv chinsu pvnvpv ho Jentail vdwa lvkobv kaarwk okv ribam mabvkv vla Jius bunugv ridungsingdung lo mindu. Vbvritola Pwknvyarnv nga kaatamdo ho yvvnyiv darwkmanv jeka okv kasingkanyak jeka ngo alvmakv vla mare.
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]?”
Okv vkvlvgabv no vdwlo nyi kanamla ngo gvlo vngmuto, ngo oguguka ma vla mvngnam kamabv aapvnv. Ngo nam tvvkadu, vbvrikunamv, no ngo gvlo ogubv nyi kanam la vngmu pvnv?”
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,
Kornelias minto, “Soogv dw so vjak alu loum go vngro pvkua ho ngo atugv naam soka arium gv gunta aom baji lo kumdungla doosuto. Dvminmabv nyi go vji yapung tojinv gvvtola ngoogv habolo dakto
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].
okv minto: ‘Kornelias! Pwknvyarnv noogv kumnam am tvvpato okv noogv nyi am jinamrungnama kaapa duku.
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].’
Nyi go Joppa lo vngmuto ho ninyigv lvgabv aminv Saimon Pitar vnamgo. Hv Saimon apin mvnv, svmasa adarlo doonv gv naam lo nyen bv doopv.’
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].”

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].
Pitar japrap toku: “Vjv ngo mvngdw kunamv so si jvjv ngv Pwknvyarnv nyi mvnwng nga akin gubv mvngla ridunv.
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.

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].
Nonu chindu hv doina Israel nyi vdwlo jilwk kunama, mvnwng gv Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv Alvnv yunying nga japji kunama.
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.
Nonu chinyado Israel gv kvvdw mvnwng so kaibv dunamlamnam go rikunama, Galili lo riraptoku Jon gv baptisma gv lvgabv japjiro koching bv.
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.”

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.

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].

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).

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.”

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.

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.

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.
Ogulvgavbolo bunu bunua akusubv japdubv okv Pwknvyarnv gv kainama hartv dubv tvvnyato. Pitar japrapto:
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]”
“So nyi vdwsi Darwknv Dowa paapvku, ngonu gvka paakunam aingbv. Vbvrikunamv, nyigonv, bunua isi lo baptisma nama dubv mintor nyuji kunv?”
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].
