Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
Kaiserea khaw awhkaw thlang pynoet, Kornelia ak mingnaak ce awm nawh, anih taw Italy qalkap zakhat ak ukkung na awm hy.
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.
Anih taw a ipkhui kaw boeih ing Khawsa kqih unawh amik bawk thlangkhqi na awm uhy; ak voet ak hlauh thlangkhqi ce bawm khqi nawh Khawsa venawh ak cykcah poepa thlang na awm hy.
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!”
Hypoet awhtaw khawngkeng khawnoek pakthum a pha awh hatnaak ik-oeih hu hy. Khawsa ak khan ceityih ce law nawh a venawh, “Konelia!” tina hy.
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.
Konelia ing ak kqih doena toek ceet hy. “Bawipa ikaw?” tinawh doet hy. Khan ceityih ing, “Nak cykcahnaak ingkaw khawdeng hahqahkhqi na do na dannaak ce Khawsa haiawh simpoenaak ham pha hawh hy.
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
Piter tinawh amik khy Simon ce khy tlaih aham tuh Joppa khaw na thlang tyi lah.
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
Anih ce mehvyn ak khquikung Simon a im awh awm hy, anih a im taw tuicunli a keng awh awm hy, tina hy.
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.
A venawh awi ak kqawnkung khan ceityih ce a ceh coengawh Konelia ing a tyihzawih thlang pakkhih ingkaw a tyihzawih awi ak ngai qalkap pynoet ce khy hy.
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Ik-oeih a huh ingkaw ang zaak khqi boeih ce ak kqawn peek coengawh Joppa khaw na cekkhqi ce tyi hy.
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.
A khawngawi nyn awh cet unawh khawk bau ami pha tawm khawnghyp awh lam na ce, Piter taw iptih na cykcah aham kai hy.
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
Cawh ak phoen cawi nawh ai kawi pynoet oet ai aham ngaih hy, buh ami lawh peek li awh, huh saknaak ik-oeih ce hu hy.
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
Khan ak awng qu ce hu nawh hi a kil pupthli awh khan nakawng ik-oeih anuk thlaak law peek ce hu hy.
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
Ce ak khuiawh ce khaw pupthli ak law qamsa soepkep ce awm nawh, dek awh ak cawlh ak tat ingkaw khan nakaw ak ding phakhqi awm awm hy.
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
Cawh awi ing a venawh, “Piter tho, him nawhtaw ai,” tina hy.
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
Piter ing, “Am ai hly nyng, Bawipa! Amak ciimcaih ingkaw tuih ak cu ikawm am ai khawi nyng,” tina hy.
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
Awi ing a hih voeinaak awh, “Khawsa ing a ciim sak ce nang ing am ciim hy koeh ti,” tina hy.
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
Vemyihna thum voei dy a awm coengawh, hi ce khawk khan na dawh pe hy.
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,
Piter ing cawhkaw ik-oeih a huh ce ikaw hy voei nu, tinawh ak poek huiawh, Konelia ak thlang tyihkhqi ing Simon a im ce hu unawh vawng chawmkeng awh ce dyi uhy.
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
Piter tinawh amik khy, Simon ce im awh ak awm nu tinawh doet uhy.
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
Piter ing a them huh ce anak poek huiawh, Myihla ing a venawh, “Simon, thlang pakthum ing nang ni sui uhy.
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
Cedawngawh tho nawhtaw ipkai na nuk kqum lah. Cekkhqi hu awh bat aham koeh tawngaa, kai ing ni cekkhqi ce ka tyih law hy,” tina hy.
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
Piter ce nuk kqum nawh cekkhqi venawh, “Nangmih ing nami sui ce kai ni. Ikaw cainaak ing nami aw?” tinak khqi hy.
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.”
Cekkhqi ing, “Kaimih ve qalkap zakhat ukkung Kornelia a im awhkawng law unyng. Anih taw thlakdyng ingkaw Khawsa ak kqih thlang na awm hy, cedawngawh Juda thlangkhqi boeih ing anih ve kqihchah uhy. Nang ak awihkqawn ngai aham khan ceityih ciim pynoet ing nang khy aham kqawn pehy,” tina uhy.
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.
Cawh Piter ing cekkhqi ce ipkhui na khy nawh pah sak hy. Cedawngawh a khawngawi nyn awh tho nawh cekkhqi mi cet haih uhy, Joppa khaw awhkaw koeinaakhqi awm cet lawt uhy.
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
A khawngawi nyn awh Kaiserea khaw ce pha uhy. Kornelia ing anih ce a na lamtoen nawh a cakaw paqengkhqi ingkaw a pyipawkhqi boeih ce kutoet na khy khqi hy.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
Piter ce ipkhui na a lut awh, Kornelia ing do nawh a khawkung awh kqihchahnaak ing khuksym pehy.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
Cehlai Piter ing thawh sak tlaih nawh “Kai awm thlanghqing lawt ni,” tina hy.
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
Awi anik kqawn coengawh Piter ce ipkhui na lut nawh cawh ipkhui na thlang khawzah ak awm ce hu hy.
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.
Cekkhqi venawh: “Juda thlang ingkaw Gentel thlang awm haih aham am ciim hy tice sim uhyk ti; cehlai u awm ciimcaih hy, am ciimcaih hy, niti kawi am ni tice Khawsa ing ni sim sak hy.
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
Ce a dawngawh thlang na minik khy law sak awhkawng a oelh kana law nyng. Cehlai ni doet khqi nyng, ikaw ham nanu nami nik khy?” tinak khqi hy.
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
Cawh Korelia ing, “Ni hu hitphli awh ce, ve atym khawngkeng khawnoek pakthum awh ka mah a im awh cykcah nyng. Cawh hi ak vang soeih ak bai thlang pynoet ce ka haiawh dyi nawh,
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
ka venawh, “Kornelia, nak cyhcahnaak ce sim peekna awm nawh, thlang venawh na them peek awm Khawsa ing sim hawh hy.
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.’
Ceamyihna awmsaw Joppa khaw na thlang tyi nawhtaw Piter ak mingnaak Simon ce khy sak. Anih ce tuicunli a kengawh ak awm, mehvyn ak khquikung, Simon a im awh khin na awm hy,” ni tina hy.
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.”
Cedawngawh thlang tyi lawk tlang nyng, law tiksaw leek soeih hy. Tuh Bawipa ing kaimih a venawh anik kqawn sak khqi boeih ce ngai aham Khawsa haiawh cun law boeih unyng,” tina hy.
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
Cekcoengawh taw Piter ing awih kqawnnaak ce kqan hy, “Khawsa ing u a hai awm am toek hy tice tuh sim hawh nyng,
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
Israel thlangkhqi venawh Khawsa ing awi pehy, thlang boeih a boei, Jesu Khrih ak caming ngaihqepnaak awithang leek ak kqawn peek ce nangmih ing sim uhyk ti.
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Johan ing baptisma ak khypyi coengawh, Kalili qam awhkawng kqan nawh Judah qam pum awhkaw ik-oeih ak awm ce –
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.
Khawsa ing Ciim Myihla thaawmnaak ing Nazareth Jesu a sypnaak akawng ingkaw Khawsa ingqawi a awm haih a dawngawh, qaaiche ak thaawmnaak ak kaiawh ak awmkhqi ce qoei sak nawh them leek a saikhqi ce sim uhyk ti.
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.
Judakhqi qam ingkaw Jerusalem khaw khuiawh a sai ik-oeihkhqi boeih ak simpyikung dyihthing na kaimih ve awm unyng. Anih ce thing awh tai unawh him uhy,
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
cehlai Khawsa ing anih ce thihnaak awhkawng am thum nyn awh thawh sak tlaih nawh thlang a huh awh dang sak hy.
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.
Thlang boeih ing anih ce am hu hy, cehlai Khawsa amah ing ak tyh oepchoeh dyihthing na ak awm, thihnaak awhkawng a thawh coengawh amah ingqawi buh a an ak ai haih kaimih ing hu unyng.
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.
Thlak hqing ingkaw thlak thi awideng aham anih doeng ni Khawsa ing a caksak hy, tice khypyi aham ingkaw sim sak aham kaimih ve awi ni pek khqi hy.
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
U awm amah ce ak cangnaak thlang boeih ing amah ang ming ak caming thawlh qeenkhaw ngainaak hu kaw, tice tawnghakhqi boeih ing anak kqawn hawh uhy,” tinak khqi hy.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
Piter ing ve ak awikhqi ve ak kqawn li awh, awi ak zakhqi boeih ak khan awh Ciim Myihla ce law hy.
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.
Gentelkhqik khan awh awm Ciim Myihla kutdo ce syp sihna a awm awh Piter ingkaw amik law haih chahhui ak qeet ak cangnaak thlangkhqi ce amik kawpoek kyi hy.
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
Cekkhqi ing amsim awi na pau unawh, Khawsa a mim kyihcah ce a ming zaak awh a mingngaihna kyi hy. Cekcoengawh Piter ing,
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
“U ing nu vekkhqi ve tui ing baptisma ama peek aham a kham peek thai kaw? Kaimih ing ka mi huh lawt amyihna a mingmih ingawm Ciim Myihla ve hu hawh lawt uhy,” tina hy.
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
Cekcoengawh cekkhqi ce Jesu Khrih ang ming ing baptisma huh aham awi pehy. Cekkhqi ce khawnghi iqyt nu awm pyi cang aham Piter a venawh thoeh uhy.
