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.”
And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
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 religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
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!”
This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto 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, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
5 Inge, supwala kutu mwet an nu Joppa, nu yurin sie mwet su inel pa Simon Peter.
And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 El muta yurin sie mwet pangpang Simon, sie mwet orekma ke kulun kosro, ac lohm sel oan wekof uh.”
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
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 spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.
8 El fahkang nu seltal ma sikyak uh, ac supwaltalla nu Joppa.
To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
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.
And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 El masrinsralla ac ke nal kutu mongo. Ke srakna akoeyuk mongo uh, el liye sie aruruma.
And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
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 heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
12 Ma oan loac uh pa kain in kosro ac ma orakrak nukewa, oayapa won lemnak.
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
13 Pusra se fahk nu sel, “Peter, tuyak! Uni ma inge ac kang.”
And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
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: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and 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 spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
16 Ouiya se inge sikyak pacl tolu, na kaot sac folokyak nu inkusrao.
And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up 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, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon’s house, stood at the gate.
18 Eltal pangyak ac siyuk, “Oasr mwet se pangpang Simon Peter lohm uh?”
And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged 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 as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20 Ke ma inge, kom akola ac tufoki welultal som. Nimet fosrnga — nga pa supwaltalma uh.”
Arise, therefore, get thee down 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?”
Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are 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.”
Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
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.
Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied 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 morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
25 Ke Peter el akola in utyak, Cornelius el osun nu sel, faksufi ac alu nu sel.
And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.
26 Tuh Peter el tulokunulak ac fahk nu sel, “Tuyak. Mwet se na pa nga.”
But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
27 Peter el kaskas na nu sel Cornelius ke eltal utyak nu in lohm uh, ac el konauk lah mwet puspis toeni we.
And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were 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 know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man 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?”
For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent 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 ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:
31 ac fahk, ‘Cornelius! God El lohng tari pre lom, ac El liye orekma in pakoten lom.
Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
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 therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
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.”
Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.
34 Peter el mutawauk in sramsram ac fahk, “Inge nga akilen lah pwayena God El oru mwet nukewa oana sie.
And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a 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, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable 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.
God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he 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.
You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
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.
Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, 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 things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.
40 Tuh God El akmoulyalak liki misa tukun len se aktolu, ac oru tuh elan sifilpa sikyak nu sin mwet uh —
Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
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 to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again 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 commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of 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 testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
44 Ke Peter el srakna sramsram, na Ngun Mutal putati nu fin mwet nukewa ma lohng luti lal ah.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard 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 faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
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,
For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
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?”
Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
48 Na el sap in baptaisiyukla elos inen Jesus Christ. Tukun ma inge, elos siyuk sel elan mutawin yorolos ke kutu len.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.
