Wiawia 10
1 OL amen mi Jajarea ad a Korneliuj, me jaumaj en pwin en jaunpei eu, me ad a men Italien,
Now there was a certain man in the city of Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment.
2 Me lelapok o majak Kot ianaki toun im a karoj, me poden kijakij on aramaj, o kapakap on Kot anjau karoj.
He was a devout man, one who worshiped God with all his household; he gave much money to those in need, and he constantly prayed to God.
3 A majani ni kajanjal eu tounlan en Kot amen, me pwara don i ni klok jilu, majani on i: Korneliuj!
About the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him. The angel said to him, “Cornelius!”
4 A kankakil i o majakadar, potoan on: Main, dakot? A kotin majani on i: Om kapakap akan o koleir leler wajailen Kot.
Cornelius stared at the angel and was very frightened and said, “What is it, sir?” The angel said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the poor have gone up as a memorial offering into God's presence.
5 Koe ari kadar won lope ol akai, ukedo Jimon, me pil ad a Petruj,
Now send men to the city of Joppa to bring a man named Simon who is called Peter.
6 Me kin kairu ren Jimon jaun wia kil en man, me im a jal on jed;
He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.”
7 A tounlan o, me kotin mama jani on i, lao kotilar, ap ekeredo na ladu riamen o jaunpei lelapok amen, me kin mi re a anjau karoj.
When the angel who spoke to him had left, Cornelius called two of his house servants, and a devout soldier from among those who served him.
8 A lao majani on irail mepukat karoj, ap kadar ir alan lope.
Cornelius told them all that had happened and sent them to Joppa.
9 A mandan ran o ni ar japa japalwei o koren ion kanim o, Petruj ap kotila pon im o, pwen kapakap impan klok eijokriau.
Now on the next day at about the sixth hour, as they were on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray.
10 Ap men jakadar o a pan jak. A ni ar kaonopadan i, ap majani kajanjal eu:
He then became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the people were cooking some food, he was given a vision,
11 A kilaner nanlan a ritidar o ed eu likamata tein pwainok kalaimun kokodi, me imwi kan pukopuk pena o pwilidi on nani pwel.
and he saw the sky open and a certain container descending, something like a large sheet coming down to the earth, let down by its four corners.
12 Jon en man en jappa karoj mi lole, me kin aluki pa, o me laualo, o man korop kai, o manpir en pan lan.
In it were all kinds of four-footed animals and things that crawled on the earth, and birds of the sky.
13 O nil eu peidi don i majanier: Petruj, paurida, kamela o mana!
Then a voice spoke to him: “Rise, Peter, kill and eat.”
14 A Petruj potoan on: Kaidin Main, pwe i kaikenta mana me mal kot, de me jamin.
But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that was defiled and unclean.”
15 A nil o majani on i kariapak: Meakot, me Kot kamakelekeladar koe der mamaleki!
But the voice came to him again a second time: “What God has cleansed, do not call it defiled.”
16 Mepukat wiauier pan jilepak! Ed o ap kapuredalan nanlan.
This happened three times; then the container was immediately taken back up into the sky.
17 A Petruj ni a kotin ponepon kidar wewe en kajanjal o, me a majanier, kilan, ol oko me paka darado jan ren Korneliuj, ap rapaki im en Jimon o uda pan wanim o,
Now while Peter was very confused about what the vision that he had seen could mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius stood before the gate, after they had asked their way to the house.
18 O likilikwir pepeidok, ma Jimon, me pil mar a Petruj kotikot waja o.
They called out and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was staying there.
19 A Petruj ni a kotin madamadaua duen kajanjal o, Nen ap kotin majani on i: Kilan ol jilimen raparapa kin uk.
While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
20 Uda o kodiwei ian irail o jo peikajal, pwe Nai me kadar irail do.
Arise and go down and go with them. Do not hesitate to go with them, because I have sent them.”
21 Petruj ap kodilan ren ol oko, majani: Kilan, iet nai, me komail raparapaki. Da karepen omail kodo?
So Peter went down to the men and said, “I am he whom you are seeking. Why have you come?”
22 Irail inda: Korneliuj jaumaj en jaunpei amen, ol pun amen, me majak Kot, o kalok mau ren Juj akan karoj, me manier jan ren tounlan jaraui en Kot amen, en poron don komui, en kotido nan tanpaj a, pwen mani jan komui majan akan.
They said, “A centurion named Cornelius, a righteous man and one who worships God, and is well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was told by a holy angel of God to send for you to come to his house, so he could listen to a message from you.”
23 I ari kajamo ir Ion o kinte kin irail er. A mandan ran o a kotin ian ir wei; o jaulan en lope kai pil ian i.
So Peter invited them to come in and stay with him. On the next morning he got up and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 A mandan ran o re leler Jajarea. A Korneliuj kapokon pena jau i o kompokepa kan ap auiaui irail.
On the following day they came to Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them; he had called together his relatives and his close friends.
25 A Petruj lao pedelon on, Korneliuj ap tu on i o pupedi on ni aluwilu a o kaudok on i.
It came about that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet to worship him.
26 A Petruj kauada i indada: Uda, pwe nai pil aramaj amen.
But Peter helped him up, saying, “Stand up! I too am a man.”
27 A ni ara majan pena, ap pedelon on, diaradar me toto momod pena.
While Peter was talking with him, he went in and found many people gathered together.
28 I ari majani on irail: Komail aja, me a jota inen, ol en Juj amen en pat on men liki amen de kola re a. A Kot kotin kajale on ia, i ender mamaleki de jauteki amen aramaj.
He said to them, “You yourselves know that it is not lawful for a Jewish man to associate with or to visit someone from another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man defiled or unclean.
29 I me i koki do o jo peikajal ni ar idok ia. Ari, i men kalelapok, da karep en omail eker ia do?
That is why I came without arguing, when I was sent for. So I ask you why you sent for me.”
30 Korneliuj ap majaniada: Mon pon pa pon nai kaijejol lel auer wet. A ni klok duau i kapakap nan im ai. A kilan, ol amen me kot mo i, mi nan likau linalin,
Cornelius said, “Four days ago at this very hour, I was praying at the ninth hour in my house; and see, a man stood before me in bright clothing.
31 O majani: Korneliuj, om kapakap me pwaida, o om koleir leler kupur en Kot.
He said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard by God, and your gifts to the poor have reminded God about you.
32 Ari, ilakilan lope, pwe Jimon me pil ad a Petruj, en kodo. A kaikairu nan im en Jimon jaun wia kil en man, me jal on jed. A lao pwarado, a pan padapadaki uk.
So send someone to Joppa, and call to you a man named Simon who is called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside.'
33 Nai ari pitipit ilakilan komui, a meid mau omui pwarador. Ari iet kit karoj janjal mon Kot, pwe jen ron meakan, me Kot majani on komui.
So at once I sent for you. You are kind to have come. Now then, we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear everything that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”
34 Petruj ap kotiki pajan jilan I indada: Melel, i ajaer, me Kot jota kin kotin lipilipiliki aramaj,
Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly, I perceive that God does not take anyone's side.
35 A nan jap karoj meamen majak i o wiawia me pun, nan i me konekon re a.
Instead, in every nation anyone who worships and does righteous deeds is acceptable to him.
36 Majan o me a kotin kadara don men Ijrael, en kaire kin irail popol ren Iejuj Krijtuj. (Nan i me Kaun pan meakaroj).
You know the message that he sent to the people of Israel, when he announced good news about peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all—
37 Komail aja majan me kalok jili me tapidar nan Kalilaa lel ludaa pon murin paptaij, me loanej wiada padak due.
you yourselves know the events that took place, which occurred throughout all Judea, beginning in Galilee, after the baptism that John announced;
38 Duen en Kot a kotin keiekier Iejuj en Najaret Nen jaraui o manaman, me kotin kakan jili wiawia mau o kakeladar me tanwar en tewil, pwe Kot kotin ieian i.
the events concerning Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 A kit karoj me jaunkadede en meakaroj, me a kotin wiadar nan jap en Juj akan o pil Ierujalem, me re pajuredi on nin tuka o kamatalar.
We are witnesses of all the things Jesus did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a tree,
40 Nan i me Kot kotin kaiajadar ni ran kajilu o kajaleda i.
but God raised him up on the third day and caused him to be seen,
41 Kaidin on aramaj karoj, pwe on jaunkadede kai, me pilipildar ren Kot, kit me ian I jak o urak murin a iajadar jan ren me melar akan.
not by all the people, but to the witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 I ari majani on kit, jen padapadak on aramaj o kadede melel, me i, me Kot kotin piladar, pwen Jaunkapun pan me maur o me melar akan.
He commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify that this is the one who has been chosen by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 A jaukop karoj kin kadede duen i, me dip en ir karoj, me pojon i, pan lapwada pweki mar a.
It is to him that all the prophets bear witness, so that everyone who believes in him shall receive forgiveness of sins through his name.”
44 A ni Petruj kotikida majan pukat Nen jaraui ap moredi pon karoj, me roneron padak o.
While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all of those who were listening to his message.
45 A me pojon akan, kijan jirkomjaij, karoj me ian Petruj pwarador, puriamuiki, me Nen jaraui pil moredi pon men liki kan.
The people who belonged to the circumcision group of believers—all of those who came with Peter—were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out also on the Gentiles.
46 Pwe re ronadar ar lokaia kida nil toror kapina Kot. Petruj ap majanier:
For they heard these Gentiles speak in other languages and praising God. Then Peter answered,
47 Ij me pan inapwriedi pil, me mepukat ender paptaijela, pwe re aleer Nen jaraui dueta kitail?
“Can anyone keep water from these people so they should not be baptized, these people who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?”
48 I ari majani, me ren paptaijela ni mar en Iejuj Krijtuj. Irail ap poeki, a en mimieta re’rail ran akai.
Then he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay with them for several days.
