At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.
2 ས སཔརིཝཱརོ བྷཀྟ ཨཱིཤྭརཔརཱཡཎཤྩཱསཱིཏ྄; ལོཀེབྷྱོ བཧཱུནི དཱནཱདཱིནི དཏྭཱ ནིརནྟརམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརེ པྲཱརྠཡཱཉྩཀྲེ།
He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.

One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
4 ཀིནྟུ ས ཏཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ བྷཱིཏོ྅ཀཐཡཏ྄, ཧེ པྲབྷོ ཀིཾ? ཏདཱ ཏམཝདཏ྄ ཏཝ པྲཱརྠནཱ དཱནཱདི ཙ སཱཀྵིསྭརཱུཔཾ བྷཱུཏྭེཤྭརསྱ གོཙརམབྷཝཏ྄།
Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.

Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.
6 ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཏྭཡཱ ཡདྱཏ྄ ཀརྟྟཝྱཾ ཏཏྟཏ྄ ས ཝདིཥྱཏི།
He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
7 ཨིཏྱུཔདིཤྱ དཱུཏེ པྲསྠིཏེ སཏི ཀརྞཱིལིཡཿ སྭགྲྀཧསྠཱནཱཾ དཱསཱནཱཾ དྭཽ ཛནཽ ནིཏྱཾ སྭསངྒིནཱཾ སཻནྱཱནཱམ྄ ཨེཀཱཾ བྷཀྟསེནཱཉྩཱཧཱུཡ
When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
8 སཀལམེཏཾ ཝྲྀཏྟཱནྟཾ ཝིཛྙཱཔྱ ཡཱཕོནགརཾ ཏཱན྄ པྲཱཧིཎོཏ྄།
He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.
9 པརསྨིན྄ དིནེ ཏེ ཡཱཏྲཱཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཡདཱ ནགརསྱ སམཱིཔ ཨུཔཱཏིཥྛན྄, ཏདཱ པིཏརོ དྭིཏཱིཡཔྲཧརཝེལཱཡཱཾ པྲཱརྠཡིཏུཾ གྲྀཧཔྲྀཥྛམ྄ ཨཱརོཧཏ྄།
The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
10 ཨེཏསྨིན྄ སམཡེ ཀྵུདྷཱརྟྟཿ སན྄ ཀིཉྩིད྄ བྷོཀྟུམ྄ ཨཻཙྪཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ ཏེཥཱམ྄ ཨནྣཱསཱདནསམཡེ ས མཱུརྩྪིཏཿ སནྣཔཏཏ྄།
He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
11 ཏཏོ མེགྷདྭཱརཾ མུཀྟཾ ཙཏུརྦྷིཿ ཀོཎཻ རླམྦིཏཾ བྲྀཧདྭསྟྲམིཝ ཀིཉྩན བྷཱཛནམ྄ ཨཱཀཱཤཱཏ྄ པྲྀཐིཝཱིམ྄ ཨཝཱརོཧཏཱིཏི དྲྀཥྚཝཱན྄།
He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
12 ཏནྨདྷྱེ ནཱནཔྲཀཱརཱ གྲཱམྱཝནྱཔཤཝཿ ཁེཙརོརོགཱམིཔྲབྷྲྀཏཡོ ཛནྟཝཤྩཱསན྄།
It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.
13 ཨནནྟརཾ ཧེ པིཏར ཨུཏྠཱཡ ཧཏྭཱ བྷུཾཀྵྭ ཏམྤྲཏཱིཡཾ གགཎཱིཡཱ ཝཱཎཱི ཛཱཏཱ།
Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”
14 ཏདཱ པིཏརཿ པྲཏྱཝདཏ྄, ཧེ པྲབྷོ ཨཱིདྲྀཤཾ མཱ བྷཝཏུ, ཨཧམ྄ ཨེཏཏ྄ ཀཱལཾ ཡཱཝཏ྄ ནིཥིདྡྷམ྄ ཨཤུཙི ཝཱ དྲཝྱཾ ཀིཉྩིདཔི ན བྷུཀྟཝཱན྄།
“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15 ཏཏཿ པུནརཔི ཏཱདྲྀཤཱི ཝིཧཡསཱིཡཱ ཝཱཎཱི ཛཱཏཱ ཡད྄ ཨཱིཤྭརཿ ཤུཙི ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄ ཏཏ྄ ཏྭཾ ནིཥིདྡྷཾ ན ཛཱནཱིཧི།
The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
16 ཨིཏྠཾ ཏྲིཿ སཏི ཏཏ྄ པཱཏྲཾ པུནརཱཀྲྀཥྚཾ ཨཱཀཱཤམ྄ ཨགཙྪཏ྄།
This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.
17 ཏཏཿ པརཾ ཡད྄ དརྴནཾ པྲཱཔྟཝཱན྄ ཏསྱ ཀོ བྷཱཝ ཨིཏྱཏྲ པིཏརོ མནསཱ སནྡེགྡྷི, ཨེཏསྨིན྄ སམཡེ ཀརྞཱིལིཡསྱ ཏེ པྲེཥིཏཱ མནུཥྱཱ དྭཱརསྱ སནྣིདྷཱཝུཔསྠཱཡ,
While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.
18 ཤིམོནོ གྲྀཧམནྭིཙྪནྟཿ སམྤྲྀཚྱཱཧཱུཡ ཀཐིཏཝནྟཿ པིཏརནཱམྣཱ ཝིཁྱཱཏོ ཡཿ ཤིམོན྄ ས ཀིམཏྲ པྲཝསཏི?
They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.
19 ཡདཱ པིཏརསྟདྡརྴནསྱ བྷཱཝཾ མནསཱནྡོལཡཏི ཏདཱཏྨཱ ཏམཝདཏ྄, པཤྱ ཏྲཡོ ཛནཱསྟྭཱཾ མྲྀགཡནྟེ།
As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
20 ཏྭམ྄ ཨུཏྠཱཡཱཝརུཧྱ ནིཿསནྡེཧཾ ཏཻཿ སཧ གཙྪ མཡཻཝ ཏེ པྲེཥིཏཱཿ།
So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”
21 ཏསྨཱཏ྄ པིཏརོ྅ཝརུཧྱ ཀརྞཱིལིཡཔྲེརིཏལོཀཱནཱཾ ནིཀཊམཱགཏྱ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ པཤྱཏ ཡཱུཡཾ ཡཾ མྲྀགཡདྷྭེ ས ཛནོཧཾ, ཡཱུཡཾ ཀིནྣིམིཏྟམ྄ ཨཱགཏཱཿ?
So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
22 ཏཏསྟེ པྲཏྱཝདན྄ ཀརྞཱིལིཡནཱམཱ ཤུདྡྷསཏྟྭ ཨཱིཤྭརཔརཱཡཎོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡདེཤསྠཱནཱཾ སཪྻྭེཥཱཾ སནྣིདྷཽ སུཁྱཱཏྱཱཔནྣ ཨེཀཿ སེནཱཔཏི རྣིཛགྲྀཧཾ ཏྭཱམཱཧཱུཡ ནེཏུཾ ཏྭཏྟཿ ཀཐཱ ཤྲོཏུཉྩ པཝིཏྲདཱུཏེན སམཱདིཥྚཿ།
“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
23 ཏདཱ པིཏརསྟཱནབྷྱནྟརཾ ནཱིཏྭཱ ཏེཥཱམཱཏིཐྱཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄, པརེ྅ཧནི ཏཻཿ སཱརྡྡྷཾ ཡཱཏྲཱམཀརོཏ྄, ཡཱཕོནིཝཱསིནཱཾ བྷྲཱཏྲྀཎཱཾ ཀིཡནྟོ ཛནཱཤྩ ཏེན སཧ གཏཱཿ།
So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
24 པརསྨིན྄ དིཝསེ ཀཻསརིཡཱནགརམདྷྱཔྲཝེཤསམཡེ ཀརྞཱིལིཡོ ཛྙཱཏིབནྡྷཱུན྄ ཨཱཧཱུཡཱནཱིཡ ཏཱན྄ ཨཔེཀྵྱ སྠིཏཿ།
The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
25 པིཏརེ གྲྀཧ ཨུཔསྠིཏེ ཀརྞཱིལིཡསྟཾ སཱཀྵཱཏྐྲྀཏྱ ཙརཎཡོཿ པཏིཏྭཱ པྲཱཎམཏ྄།
As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.
26 པིཏརསྟམུཏྠཱཔྱ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄, ཨུཏྟིཥྛཱཧམཔི མཱནུཥཿ།
But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
27 ཏདཱ ཀརྞཱིལིཡེན སཱཀམ྄ ཨཱལཔན྄ གྲྀཧཾ པྲཱཝིཤཏ྄ ཏནྨདྷྱེ ཙ བཧུལོཀཱནཱཾ སམཱགམཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ ཏཱན྄ ཨཝདཏ྄,
As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.
28 ཨནྱཛཱཏཱིཡལོཀཻཿ མཧཱལཔནཾ ཝཱ ཏེཥཱཾ གྲྀཧམདྷྱེ པྲཝེཤནཾ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ ནིཥིདྡྷམ྄ ཨསྟཱིཏི ཡཱུཡམ྄ ཨཝགཙྪཐ; ཀིནྟུ ཀམཔི མཱནུཥམ྄ ཨཝྱཝཧཱཪྻྱམ྄ ཨཤུཙིཾ ཝཱ ཛྙཱཏུཾ མམ ནོཙིཏམ྄ ཨིཏི པརམེཤྭརོ མཱཾ ཛྙཱཔིཏཝཱན྄།
He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.
29 ཨིཏི ཧེཏོརཱཧྭཱནཤྲཝཎམཱཏྲཱཏ྄ ཀཱཉྩནཱཔཏྟིམ྄ ཨཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱགཏོསྨི; པྲྀཙྪཱམི ཡཱུཡཾ ཀིནྣིམིཏྟཾ མཱམ྄ ཨཱཧཱུཡཏ?
So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”
30 ཏདཱ ཀརྞཱིལིཡཿ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄, ཨདྱ ཙཏྭཱརི དིནཱནི ཛཱཏཱནི ཨེཏཱཝདྭེལཱཾ ཡཱཝད྄ ཨཧམ྄ ཨནཱཧཱར ཨཱསན྄ ཏཏསྟྲྀཏཱིཡཔྲཧརེ སཏི གྲྀཧེ པྲཱརྠནསམཡེ ཏེཛོམཡཝསྟྲབྷྲྀད྄ ཨེཀོ ཛནོ མམ སམཀྵཾ ཏིཥྛན྄ ཨེཏཱཾ ཀཐཱམ྄ ཨཀཐཡཏ྄,
Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me

and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.

Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’
33 ཨིཏི ཀཱརཎཱཏ྄ ཏཏྐྵཎཱཏ྄ ཏཝ ནིཀཊེ ལོཀཱན྄ པྲེཥིཏཝཱན྄, ཏྭམཱགཏཝཱན྄ ཨིཏི བྷདྲཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄། ཨཱིཤྭརོ ཡཱནྱཱཁྱཱནཱནི ཀཐཡིཏུམ྄ ཨཱདིཤཏ྄ ཏཱནི ཤྲོཏུཾ ཝཡཾ སཪྻྭེ སཱམྤྲཏམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ སཱཀྵཱད྄ ཨུཔསྠིཏཱཿ སྨཿ།
So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”
34 ཏདཱ པིཏར ཨིམཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡིཏུམ྄ ཨཱརབྡྷཝཱན྄, ཨཱིཤྭརོ མནུཥྱཱཎཱམ྄ ཨཔཀྵཔཱཏཱི སན྄
Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,

He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,
40 ཀིནྟུ ཏྲྀཏཱིཡདིཝསེ ཨཱིཤྭརསྟམུཏྠཱཔྱ སཔྲཀཱཤམ྄ ཨདརྴཡཏ྄།
God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—

not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.

And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.

All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.

All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,

“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”

So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
