Orekma 10
1 Oasr sie mwet muta in acn Caesarea, inel pa Cornelius, ac el sie mwet leum lun un solse lun acn Rome, su pangpang “Un Mwet Mweun lun Acn Italy.”
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, the captain of the Italian band of the army;
2 El sie mwet akfulatye God, na el ac sou lal nufon alu nu sin God. Yohk pac kasru ma el oru nu sin mwet Jew ma sukasrup, ac el sikalani na in pre nu sin God.
A serious-minded man, fearing God with all his family; he gave much money to the poor, and made prayer to God at all times.
3 Sahp ac ao tolu tafun len tok sie len ah, el liye sie aruruma na kalem, ac el liye sie lipufan lun God tuku nu yorol su fahk, “Cornelius!”
He saw in a vision, clearly, at about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of the Lord coming to him and saying to him, Cornelius!
4 Ke el suiya lipufan sac el sangeng, ac el fahk, “Leum, mea se?” Ac lipufan sac fahk, “God El insewowo ke pre lom ac orekma kulang kom oru uh, ac El akola in topuk kom.
And he, looking on him in fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your offerings have come up to God, and he has kept them in mind.
5 Inge, supwala kutu mwet an nu Joppa, nu yurin sie mwet su inel pa Simon Peter.
Now send men to Joppa, and get one Simon, named Peter,
6 El muta yurin sie mwet pangpang Simon, sie mwet orekma ke kulun kosro, ac lohm sel oan wekof uh.”
Who is living with Simon, a leather-worker, whose house is by the sea.
7 Tukun lipufan sac som, na Cornelius el pangonma luo mwet kulansap in lohm sel ah, oayapa sie mwet mweun su akfulatye God ac su el lulalfongi yohk.
And when the angel who said these words to him had gone away, he sent for two of his house-servants, and a God-fearing man of the army, one of those who were waiting on him at all times;
8 El fahkang nu seltal ma sikyak uh, ac supwaltalla nu Joppa.
And having given them an account of everything, he sent them to Joppa.
9 In len tok ah ke elos som ac apkuran nu Joppa, Peter el fanyak nu ke mangon lohm sac ke akuran infulwen len elan tuh pre.
Now the day after, when they were on their journey and were near the town, Peter went up to the top of the house for prayer, about the sixth hour:
10 El masrinsralla ac ke nal kutu mongo. Ke srakna akoeyuk mongo uh, el liye sie aruruma.
And he was in need of food: but while they were getting it ready, a deep sleep came on him;
11 El liye kusrao ikakla, ac ma se koeyukla lucng me oana luman sie kaot na lulap, kukla ke sruwasrik akosr kac ah nu faclu.
And he saw the heavens opening, and a vessel coming down, like a great cloth let down on the earth,
12 Ma oan loac uh pa kain in kosro ac ma orakrak nukewa, oayapa won lemnak.
In which were all sorts of beasts and birds.
13 Pusra se fahk nu sel, “Peter, tuyak! Uni ma inge ac kang.”
And a voice came to him, saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
14 Ac Peter el fahk, “Leum, nga tia ku! Nga soenna kang kutena ma su tia nasnas ku oal nu sik uh.”
But Peter said, No, Lord; for I have never taken food which is common or unclean.
15 Na pusra sac sifilpa fahk nu sel, “Nimet kom nunku mu kutena ma ac sufal in mongo, God El fin fahk mu ku in mongo.”
And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
16 Ouiya se inge sikyak pacl tolu, na kaot sac folokyak nu inkusrao.
And this was done three times: and then the vessel was taken back into heaven.
17 Ke Peter el srakna suk lah mea kalmen aruruma se inge, na mwet ma Cornelius el tuh supu ah konauk lohm sel Simon, ac inge eltal tu ke mutunoa.
Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,
18 Eltal pangyak ac siyuk, “Oasr mwet se pangpang Simon Peter lohm uh?”
To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.
19 Peter el srakna suk lah mea kalmen aruruma sac, ke Ngun Mutal fahk nu sel, “Liye, mwet tolu pa suk kom inge.
And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.
20 Ke ma inge, kom akola ac tufoki welultal som. Nimet fosrnga — nga pa supwaltalma uh.”
Go down, then, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.
21 Ouinge Peter el tufoki nu ten ac fahk nu seltal, “Nga pa mwet se komtal suk an. Mea sripen tuku lowos an?”
And Peter went down to the men, and said, I am the man you are looking for: why have you come?
22 Na eltal fahk, “Captain Cornelius el supwekut. El mwet na wowo se, ac el alu nu sin God, ac mwet Jew nukewa arulana akfulatyal. Lipufan se lun God fahkang nu sel mu elan sapma suli kom nu in lohm sel ah, tuh el fah ku in lohng ma kom ac fahk uh.”
And they said, Cornelius, a captain, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by all the nation of the Jews, had word from God by an angel to send for you to his house, and to give hearing to your words.
23 Peter el solauk mwet uh nu in lohm uh, ac eltal motulla we ke fong sac. Len tok ah, el akola ac welultal som; ac kutu sin mwet lulalfongi in acn Joppa wi pac som.
So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.
24 Len se toko ah el sun acn Caesarea, yen Cornelius el muta soanel we, wi pac sou lal ac mwet kawuk ma el solama ah.
And the day after that, they came to Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having got together his relations and his near friends.
25 Ke Peter el akola in utyak, Cornelius el osun nu sel, faksufi ac alu nu sel.
And when Peter came in, Cornelius came to him and, falling down at his feet, gave him worship.
26 Tuh Peter el tulokunulak ac fahk nu sel, “Tuyak. Mwet se na pa nga.”
But Peter, lifting him up, said, Get up, for I am a man as you are.
27 Peter el kaskas na nu sel Cornelius ke eltal utyak nu in lohm uh, ac el konauk lah mwet puspis toeni we.
And saying these words, he went in, and saw that a great number of people had come together;
28 Peter el fahk nu selos, “Kowos arulana etu lah alu lun mwet Jew uh tia lela mwet lalos in aengani ku fahsr nu yurin mwet ke mutunfacl saya uh. Tusruktu God El akkalemye nu sik nga in tia pangon mu kutu mwet uh tia nasnas ku sufal nga in aengani yoro.
And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:
29 Pwanang ke kowos sapma nu sik uh, nga tia alolo in tuku. Tuh nga ke siyuk suwos lah efu kowos ku suliyu?”
And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?
30 Cornelius el fahk, “Sahp ac pacl se pacna inge ke len tolu somla, pa nga tuh pre in lohm sik ah ke ao tolu tafun len tok. Na in kitin pacl ah na mwet se sikme nu sik. El nukum nuknuk na saromrom ac tu ye mutuk
And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,
31 ac fahk, ‘Cornelius! God El lohng tari pre lom, ac El liye orekma in pakoten lom.
Who said, Cornelius, your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your offerings are kept in his memory.
32 Supwala sie mwet ah nu Joppa nu sin mwet se su inel pa Simon Peter. El muta in lohm sin sie mwet orekma ke kulun kosro, su pangpang Simon, su lohm sel oan wekof uh.’
Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.
33 Na pa nga tuh sapot suli kom in pacl sacna, ac kom arulana kulang lah kom tuku. Inge kut nukewa tukeni inse inge ye mutun God, ac akola in lohng ma nukewa ma God El ac sap kom in fahk nu sesr uh.”
So, straight away, I sent for you; and you have done well to come. And now, we are all present before God, ready to give attention to all the things which the Lord has given you to say.
34 Peter el mutawauk in sramsram ac fahk, “Inge nga akilen lah pwayena God El oru mwet nukewa oana sie.
Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:
35 Kutena mwet su sangeng sel ac oru ma suwohs, God El insewowo sel, el finne tuhn fuka ku mwet oya.
But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.
36 God El supwama kas lal nu sin mwet Israel, in fahkak Pweng Wo ke misla ma tuku ke Jesus Christ, su Leum fin mwet nukewa.
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all) —
37 Kowos etu ke ouiya pwengpeng se ma sikyak in acn Judea nufon, mutawauk in acn Galilee tukun John el fahkak mwe luti lal ke baptais ah.
That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,
38 Kowos etu pac kacl Jesus lun Nazareth, ac ke God El sang Ngun Mutal ac ku lulap nu sel. El tuh forfor in acn nukewa ac oru ma wo, ac akkeyalos nukewa su oan ye ku lun Devil, mweyen God El welul.
About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.
39 Kut mwet loh ke ma nukewa ma el tuh oru in Jerusalem ac in facl lun mwet Jew. Na elos unilya ke elos srupsrulak fin sakseng soko.
And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they put to death, hanging him on a tree.
40 Tuh God El akmoulyalak liki misa tukun len se aktolu, ac oru tuh elan sifilpa sikyak nu sin mwet uh —
On the third day God gave him back to life, and let him be seen,
41 tia nu sin mwet nukewa, a nu sesr mukena, su God El nuna sulela tuh kut in orek loh kac. Aok, kut tuh welul mongo ac nim tukun el moulyak ah.
Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.
42 Ac el sapkin nu sesr in luti ke Wosasu nu sin mwet uh, ac in fahkak lah el pa God El srisrngiya in tuh nununku mwet moul ac mwet misa.
And he gave us orders to give news of this to the people, and to give public witness that this is he whom God has made judge of the living and the dead.
43 Mwet palu nukewa tuh fahkak kacl. Elos fahk lah mwet nukewa su lulalfongi kacl ac fah eis nunak munas ke ma koluk lalos ke ku lun inel.”
To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.
44 Ke Peter el srakna sramsram, na Ngun Mutal putati nu fin mwet nukewa ma lohng luti lal ah.
While Peter was saying these words, the Holy Spirit came on all those who were hearing the word.
45 Mwet lulalfongi sin mwet Jew su welul Peter tuku Joppa me elos arulana lut lah God El sang mwe kite lal ke Ngun Mutal nu sin mwet pegan pac.
And the Jews of the faith, who had come with Peter, were full of wonder, because the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles,
46 Mweyen elos lohng ke mwet inge sramsram ke pusra ma siena liki kas lalos, ac kaksakin fulatlana lun God. Na Peter el kasak ac fahk,
And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God. Then Peter said,
47 “Mwet inge elos eis Ngun Mutal oana ke kut tuh eis ah. Ke ouinge uh, ya oasr mwet ac ku in ikolya elos in tia baptaisla ke kof?”
Will any man say that these may not have baptism who have been given the Holy Spirit as we have?
48 Na el sap in baptaisiyukla elos inen Jesus Christ. Tukun ma inge, elos siyuk sel elan mutawin yorolos ke kutu len.
And he gave orders for them to have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they kept him with them for some days.
