Caeltueih 10
1 Te vaengah Kaiserea kah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Kornelius, Italian caem la a khue khuikah rhalboei te om.
And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a cohort that is called Italian,
2 Anih te cuep tih a imko boeih loh Pathen a rhih. Pilnam taengah doedannah muep a saii tih Pathen taengah a yoeyah la thangthui.
pious, and fearing God with all his house, also doing many kind acts to the people, and always imploring God;
3 Hnin at tah khonoek pako tluk vaengah a mangthui ah a hmuh. Te vaengah Pathen kah puencawn te anih taengla kun tih, “Kornelius,” a ti nah.
he saw in a vision openly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to him, and saying to him, “Cornelius”;
4 Anih te a hmaitang vaengah lakueng ngaiha la om tih, “Balae aka om Boeipa,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te, “Na thangthuinah neh na doedannah loh Pathen hmaiah kutmuei la cet coeng.
and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your kind acts came up for a memorial before God,
5 Te dongah Joppa la hlang pahoi tueih lamtah Simon Peter la a khue hlang pakhat te tah laeh.
and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
6 Anih te tuipuei kaengkah im aka om maehpho Simon taengah pah lah ko,” a ti nah.
this one lodges with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one will speak to you what you must do.”
7 Anih aka voek puencawn te a caeh van phoeiah tah imkhut rhoi neh amah aka khuituk rhoek khuikah aka cuep rhalkap te a khue.
And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his servants, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,
8 Amih te a soep la a uen phoeiah Joppa la a tueih.
and having expounded all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 A vuen ah amih te cet uh tih kho a yoei thuem kah khonoek parhuk tluk vaengah Peter tah thangthui ham imphu la yoeng.
And on the next day, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour,
10 Te vaengah a pongnaeng la om tih caak ten ham khaw a ngaih. Tedae a tawn uh vaengah anih te amih taengah mueimang a om pah.
and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell on him a trance,
11 Te vaengah vaan ke ong uh tih hno pakhat loh a kil pali neh himbai len bangla ha suntla tih diklai la a colh te a hmuh.
and he beholds Heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down on the earth,
12 A khuiah diklai kah rhamsa boeih neh rhulcai khaw, vaan kah vaa khaw om.
in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky,
13 Te vaengah, “Peter thoo, ngawn lamtah ca,” tila anih taengla ol halo pah.
and there came a voice to him: “Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.”
14 Tedae Peter loh, “Moenih, Boeipa, tanghnong tangaih neh rhalawt la aka om boeih he ka caak moenih,” a ti nah.
And Peter said, “Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean”;
15 Tedae anih te a pabae kah ol bal loh, “Pathen loh a cim sak tangtae te nang loh poeih boeh,” a ti nah.
and [there is] a voice again a second time to him: “What God cleansed, you do not declare common”;
16 Te tlam te voei thum a om phoeiah tah hno te vaan la vil a loh.
and this was done three times, and again was the vessel received up to Heaven.
17 Te dongah mangthui a hmuh te metlam a om poek eh tila Peter loh a khuiah khobing. Te vaengah Kornelius loh a tueih tih Simon im aka toem hlang rhoek khaw vongka ah pakcak ha pai uh.
And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, behold, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
18 Te vaengah pang uh tih, “Peter la a khue Simon te pah mai a he,” a ti uh.
and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, lodges here.
19 Peter khaw mangthui dongkah te a poek li vaengah Mueihla loh, “Hlang pathum loh nang n'toem uh ke.
And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you;
20 Thoo, suntla lamtah boelhkhoeh kolla amih taengah cet laeh. Kai long ni amih kan tueih,” a ti nah.
but having risen, go down and go on with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them”;
21 A suntlak phoeiah hlang rhoek te Peter loh, “Na toem uh te kai ni he. Mebang paelnaehnah nen nim na pai uh te,” a ti nah.
and Peter having come down to the men who have been sent from Cornelius to him, said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek, what [is] the cause for which you are present?”
22 Te dongah amih loh, “Rhalboei Kornelius he hlang dueng la om tih Pathen a rhih dongah Judah namtu boeih long khaw a oep. Nang te amah im la tah tih nang lamkah olka hnatun sak ham hlangcim kah puencawn loh a mangthui coeng,” a ti uh.
And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for you, to his house, and to hear sayings from you.”
23 Te dongah amih te a khue tih a pah sak. A vuen ah tah thoo tih amih taengla cet. Te vaengah Joppa lamkah manuca hlangvang rhoek loh anih te a puei uh.
Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the next day Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brothers from Joppa went with him,
24 A vuen patoeng bal vaengah Kaiserea la kun. Amih te Kornelius loh a lamso tih ana om coeng dongah a huiko neh paya tangkik te a hueh thil.
and on the next day they entered into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and near friends,
25 Peter ham pha tih a kun vaengah amah te Kornelius loh a doe. A kho kungah a bakop thil tih a bawk.
and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, worshiped [him];
26 Tedae Peter loh anih te a thoh tih, “Thoo, kai kamah khaw hlang van ni,” a ti nah.
and Peter raised him, saying, “Stand up; I am also a man myself”;
27 Anih te a voek tih a kun vaengah muep a tingtun uh a hmuh.
and talking with him he went in, and finds many having come together.
28 Amih taengah khaw, “Judah hlang taengah kap tih kholong a paan vaengah a lolh la muep a om te na hmat uh. Tedae hlang te tanghnong neh rhalawt ti nah pawt ham Pathen loh kai n'tueng coeng.
And he said to them, “You know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come to, one of another race, but God showed to me to call no man common or unclean;
29 Te dongah kai aka tah taengla hawt ka lo van. Tedae kan dawt mai eh mebang kawng nen lae kai nan tah uh,” a ti nah.
therefore also without contradicting I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter you sent for me?”
30 Te vaengah Kornelius loh, “Tahae duela hnin li khuiah khonoek pako kah thangthui neh ka im ah ka om. Te vaengah hlang pakhat loh a himbai cim thik la kai hmaiah pakcak pai tih,
And Cornelius said, “Four days ago until this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in radiant clothing,
31 Kornelius, na thangthuinah te ka hnatun uh tih na doedannah loh Pathen hmaiah a poek coeng.
and he said, Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your kind acts were remembered before God;
32 Te dongah Joppa la hlang tueih lamtah, Peter la a khue Simon te khue laeh. Anih te tuipuei kah maehpho Simon im ah pah,’ a ti.
send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, will speak to you;
33 Te dongah amih te nang taengla tlek kan tueih. Nang long khaw a thenla na saii tih, na pawk coeng. Boeipa loh nang ng'uen boeih te yaak hamla kaimih boeih loh Pathen hmaiah ka phoe uh van coeng,” a ti nah.
at once, therefore, I sent to you; you also did well, having come; now, therefore, we are all present before God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
34 Te dongah Peter loh a ka a ong tih, “Pathen loh tangyahnah a khueh pawt te oltak la ka pom coeng.
And Peter having opened his mouth, said, “Of a truth, I perceive that God is not favoring by appearance,
35 Tedae namtom boeih khuiah amah aka rhih tih duengnah aka saii rhoek tah amah kah a uem la om.
but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
36 Ol te Israel ca rhoek taengah a tah tih Jesuh Khrih rhangneh rhoepnah a phong. Anih tah a cungkuem kah Boeipa la a om te na ming uh.
the word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news—peace through Jesus Christ (this One is Lord of all),
37 Judea tom ah olthang he om coeng. Johan loh a hoe Baptistma hnukah Galilee lamloh a tong coeng.
you have known the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the immersion that John preached;
38 Nazareth lamkah Jesuh te Pathen loh Mueihla Cim neh thaomnah neh a koelh. Anih tah tlangnaem tlangphai la pongpa tih Pathen loh anih taengah a om puei dongah rhaithae kah a phaep rhoek khaw boeih a hoeih sak.
Jesus who [is] from Nazareth—how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the Devil, because God was with Him;
39 Te dongah kaimih tah a cungkuem kah laipai rhoek ni. Te te Judah kho neh Jerusalem ah khaw a saii. Tedae amah te a ngawn uh tih thing dongah a hoei uh.
and we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem—whom they slew, having hanged [Him] on a tree.
40 Anih te Pathen loh a thum hnin ah a thoh tih a phoe sak la om coeng.
This One God raised up [on] the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
41 Pilnam boeih taengah pawt tih Pathen kah a hmoel laipai rhoek taengah phoe coeng. Duek lamkah a thoh phoeiah anih loh mamih m'vael puei tih mamih loh anih n'ok puei uh.
not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God—to us who ate with [Him], and drank with Him, after His rising out of the dead;
42 Hlang duek hlang hing kah laitloekkung la Pathen loh anih a hmoel te pilnam taengah hoe tih uen ham mamih ng'uen.
and He commanded us to preach to the people, and to fully testify that it is He who has been ordained judge of living and dead by God—
43 Tonghma rhoek boeih loh anih te a oep. Amah aka tangnah boeih tah a ming neh tholh khodawkngainah a dang,” a ti nah.
to this One do all the Prophets testify, that through His Name everyone that is believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
44 Peter kah a thui ol te a pangthuem vaengah ol aka hnatun rhoek boeih khaw Mueihla Cim loh a tlak thil.
While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy Spirit fell on all those hearing the word,
45 Namtom rhoek te Cim Mueihla kah kutdoe loh a suntlak thil van vaengah, yahvinrhetnah neh uepom Peter aka puei boeih khaw limlum uh.
and those of circumcision [who were] believing were astonished—as many as came with Peter—because the gift of the Holy Spirit has also been poured out on the nations,
46 Amih kah ol a thui uh te a yaak uh vaengah Pathen te a oep uh.
for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
47 Te dongah Peter loh, “Kaimih van bangla Mueihla Cim aka dang amih he nuem pawt ham u long khaw tui hloh thai mahpawh,” a ti.
Then Peter answered, “Is anyone able to forbid the water, that these may not be immersed, who received the Holy Spirit—even as us also?”
48 Te dongah amih te Jesuh Khrih ming ah nuem ham a uen. Te phoeiah khohnin a yol khaw om ham anih te a hloep uh.
He commanded them to also be immersed in the Name of the LORD; then they implored him to remain certain days.
