Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
| ܒܩܤܪܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܘܤ ܡܢ ܤܦܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܐܝܛܠܝܩܐ |
2 a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
| ܘܙܕܝܩ ܗܘܐ ܘܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܘܒܝܬܗ ܟܠܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܙܕܩܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܒܥܡܐ ܘܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ |
3 At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
| ܗܢܐ ܚܙܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܠܐܦܝ ܬܫܥ ܫܥܝܢ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܕܥܠ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܐ |
4 He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
| ܘܗܘ ܚܪ ܒܗ ܘܕܚܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܨܠܘܬܟ ܘܙܕܩܬܟ ܤܠܩ ܠܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ |
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
| ܘܗܫܐ ܫܕܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܝܘܦܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܐ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܟܐܦܐ |
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
| ܗܐ ܫܪܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܘܪܤܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ |
7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
| ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܩܪܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܘܦܠܚܐ ܚܕ ܕܕܚܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܬܕܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ |
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
| ܘܐܫܬܥܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܐ ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܝܘܦܐ |
9 Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
| ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܪܕܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܩܪܝܒܝܢ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܤܠܩ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܐܓܪܐ ܕܢܨܠܐ ܒܫܬ ܫܥܝܢ |
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
| ܘܟܦܢ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܠܥܤ ܘܟܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܡܬܩܢܝܢ ܠܗ ܢܦܠ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܬܡܗܐ |
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
| ܘܚܙܐ ܫܡܝܐ ܟܕ ܦܬܝܚܝܢ ܘܡܐܢܐ ܚܕ ܟܕ ܐܤܝܪ ܒܐܪܒܥ ܩܪܢܢ ܘܕܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܬܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܫܐܒ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ |
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
| ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܪܒܥܬ ܪܓܠܐ ܘܪܚܫܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ |
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
| ܘܩܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܕܐܡܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܘܡ ܟܘܤ ܘܐܟܘܠ |
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
| ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܚܤ ܡܪܝ ܕܡܡܬܘܡ ܠܐ ܐܟܠܬ ܟܠ ܕܡܤܝܒ ܘܛܡܐ |
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
| ܘܬܘܒ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܩܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܟܝ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܤܝܒ |
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
| ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܬ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܘܐܬܥܠܝ ܠܗ ܡܐܢܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ |
17 Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
| ܘܟܕ ܡܬܕܡܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܕܡܢܘ ܚܙܘܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܡܛܝܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܫܬܕܪܘ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܘܤ ܘܫܐܠܘ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܫܪܐ ܒܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܬܘ ܘܩܡܘ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܕܪܬܐ |
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
| ܘܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܬܡܢ ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܪܟܐ ܫܪܐ |
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
| ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܪܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܗܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܠܟ |
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
| ܩܘܡ ܚܘܬ ܘܙܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܬܦܠܓ ܪܥܝܢܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܫܕܪܬ ܐܢܘܢ |
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܚܬ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܬܝܬܘܢ |
22 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܘܤ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܟܐܢܐ ܕܕܚܠ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܤܗܕ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܬܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܡܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܢܫܕܪ ܢܥܠܟ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܢܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܐ ܡܢܟ |
23 So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
| ܘܐܥܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܩܒܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܪ ܕܫܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܩܡ ܠܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܘܢܦܩ ܐܙܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܥܡܗ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܐܚܐ ܕܝܘܦܐ |
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
| ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܥܠ ܠܩܤܪܝܐ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܡܩܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܡܟܢܫܝܢ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܛܘܗܡܗ ܘܐܦ ܪܚܡܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ |
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
| ܘܟܕ ܥܐܠ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܪܥܗ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܘܤ ܘܢܦܠ ܤܓܕ ܠܪܓܠܘܗܝ |
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
| ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܩܝܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܘܡ ܠܟ ܘܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܢܐ |
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
| ܘܟܕ ܡܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܥܠ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܬܡܢ |
28 He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܦܤ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܢܩܦ ܠܐܢܫܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܪ ܫܪܒܬܗ ܘܠܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܘܝܢܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܕܛܡܐ ܐܘ ܡܤܝܒ |
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܥܬܝܕܐܝܬ ܐܬܝܬ ܟܕ ܫܕܪܬܘܢ ܒܬܪܝ ܒܪܡ ܡܫܐܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܫܕܪܬܘܢ ܒܬܪܝ |
30 Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܘܤ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܨܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܘܒܬܫܥ ܫܥܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܨܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܒܝܬܝ ܩܡ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܩܕܡܝ ܟܕ ܠܒܝܫ ܚܘܪܐ |
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܨܠܘܬܟ ܘܠܙܕܩܬܟ ܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ |
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
| ܒܪܡ ܫܕܪ ܠܝܘܦܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܐ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܐ ܫܪܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܘܪܤܝܐ ܕܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ ܘܗܘ ܢܐܬܐ ܢܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ |
33 Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
| ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܫܕܪܬ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܢܬ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕܬ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܘܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܟܠܢ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܘܨܒܝܢܢ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܦܩܕ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ |
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
| ܦܬܚ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܐܕܪܟܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܢܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ |
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
| ܐܠܐ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܕܚܠ ܡܢܗ ܘܦܠܚ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܗܘ ܠܘܬܗ |
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
| ܡܠܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܫܕܪ ܠܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܘܤܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܘܫܝܢܐ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܢܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܟܠ |
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
| ܘܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܗܘܬ ܒܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܕܐܩܦܬ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܒܬܪ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܐܟܪܙ ܝܘܚܢܢ |
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
| ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܢ ܢܨܪܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܫܚܗ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܒܚܝܠܐ ܘܗܘܝܘ ܕܡܬܟܪܟ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܐܤܐ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܢܟܝܘ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗ |
39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
| ܘܚܢܢ ܤܗܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ ܘܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܬܠܐܘܗܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܥܠ ܩܝܤܐ ܘܩܛܠܘܗܝ |
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
| ܘܠܗ ܐܩܝܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܘܝܗܒܗ ܕܢܬܚܙܐ ܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ |
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
| ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܓܒܝܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܤܗܕܐ ܕܐܟܠܢ ܥܡܗ ܘܐܫܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܩܝܡܬܗ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ |
42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
| ܘܦܩܕܢ ܕܢܟܪܙ ܘܢܤܗܕ ܠܥܡܐ ܕܗܢܘ ܕܐܬܦܪܫ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܘܕܡܝܬܐ |
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
| ܘܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܤܗܕܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܟܠܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܫܡܗ ܢܩܒܠ ܫܘܒܩܢ ܚܛܗܐ |
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
| ܘܟܕ ܗܘ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܐܓܢܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܠܬܐ |
45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
| ܘܬܡܗܘ ܘܬܗܪܘ ܐܚܐ ܓܙܝܪܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܘ ܥܡܗ ܕܐܦ ܥܠ ܥܡܡܐ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܐܫܬܦܥܬ |
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
| ܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܒܠܫܢ ܠܫܢ ܘܡܘܪܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ |
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
| ܕܠܡܐ ܡܝܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܫ ܟܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܥܡܕܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܗܐ ܩܒܠܘ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܚܢܢ |
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܦܩܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܥܡܕܘܢ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܒܥܘ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܩܘܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ |
