Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
Acunüng, Ketarih khawa Konelih ngming naki Romah cetca keptin veki, acun cun Itali yekap ngvai ami ti.
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.
Ani cun Pamhnam üng hlimtui lü, a ima vekie ami van naw Pamhnam kyühkie, mpyenkseki Judah khyange jah petmsawt lü aktäa ktaiyüki.
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!”
Acuna, mhnüp mülam naji kthum bang üng, Pamhnama khankhawngsä mat law lü, “Konelih aw” ti lü ngkhü lawki cun angsing hmumkthehnak a hmuh.
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.
Acunüng, Konelih naw a kyühnak am bükteng lü, “Bawipa aw, ini?” a ti. Acunüng, ani naw, “Na ktaiyünak ja na petmsawte naw Pamhnam jesak se, Pamhnam naw na ktaiyünak ning msang khaia kyaki.
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
“Tuhkbäih Jukpei mlüha khyang ja tüih lü khyang mat Sihmon Pita ngming naki jah khüsaka;
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
savun pyangkia Sihmona veia kaiki ni, a im cun mliktui peia veki ni” a ti.
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.
Acunüng, ngthuheipüikia khankhawngsä a ceh be ja, Konelih naw a mpya üngka nghngih ja, anglätse khüikie üngka Pamhnam üpnaki yekap mat khü lü;
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
ngthu a jah mtheh päng üng Jukpei mlüha a jah tüih.
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.
Angawi üng, ami ceh lam mlüh pei ami pha law hlü üng, Pita cun ktaiyü khaia im mkhyuma kaiki.
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
A ei naw mcawi law se, bu ei law hlüki; cunsepi, a ei vai ami pawh k'um üng Mhnama mdannak a hmuh.
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
Khankhaw nghmawng law lü jihnua mäiha kphyüa kitmaki mdeka kya lawse a hmuh.
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
Acuna k'uma, khawmdek üng ngvak hükiea khisa avan ja khankhawa khae naküt vekie.
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
A veia kthai pha lawki cun, “Pita aw, tho law; ja hnim lü jah eia” a ti.
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
Acunsepi, Pita naw, “Bawipa aw, acukba am kya; am ngcimcaiki ja mtüikheh i am ei khawi veng” a ti.
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
Acunüng, Khana kthai naw anghnginaka, “Pamhnam naw a ngcimsak päng nang naw am ngcimcaiki käh tia” a ti.
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
Acukba cia kthum vei ngdang law lü; acunüng acuna jiha mäih cun khankhawa a ju jäh law be.
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,
Pita naw mdannak a hmuh cun asuilam am ksing lü ana ve k'um üng, Koneliha a tüiha khyange naw Sihmona a im ngthäh law u lü mkawt peia ngdüi lawki he.
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
Sihmon Pita ngmingnaki khin cun, acua a pha ja am a pha ngpyang u lü ami ju kthäh.
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
Acunüng, Pita naw mdannak a hmu cun, a ngaikyu hui üng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw a veia, “Ngaia, khyang kthum naw ning sui hü ve u.
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
Acunakyase, tho law lü ju kyuma, käh cücawn lü jah läka; anini cun keia jah tüih law ni” a ti.
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
Acunüng, Pita cun, acunea veia kyum lü ami veia, “Nami sui hü hin kei ni; ia phäha nami lawki ni?” a ti.
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.”
Amimi naw, “Konelih, yekap ngvai, khyang kdaw, Pamhnam kyühki, Judah khyange naküt üng ngming dawnak yaki naw a ima nang ning khü lü na ngthu pyen ngai khaia, Pamhnama khankhawngsä mat naw a mtheha kyaki” ami ti.
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.
Pita naw, acuna khyange cun im k'uma ja luhpüi lü a jah khinnak. A ngawia Pita cun tho law lü ami veia cit se, Jukpei mlüha ka, jumeikie avange pi a veia cit hngakie.
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
Angawi be kce üng, Ketarih mlüha phakie. Acuia, Konelih naw a khyange ja a püie ja khü lü, anini cun ami jah na k'äih.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
Pita a pha law üng, Konelih naw ana dokham lü a khaw kunga mbawki.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
Acunsepi, Pita naw ani cun mtho lü, “Ngdüia, kei pi nghngicima ni ka kya ve” a ti.
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
A veia a ngthuhei maha va lut lü khyang khawha ana ve se a hmu.
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 should not call any man unholy or unclean.
Ami veia, “Judah khyang naw khyangmjükce ngkhawtpüi lü ami veia a ceh hü vai käh nglawiki tia nami ksingki; acunsepi, ‘U pi am ngcim, phyawksak ve’ käh ka ti vaia, Pamhnam naw na mtheh pängki ni.
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
Acunakyase, na na khü law ja, käh dam lü ka lawkia kyaki. Acunakyase ka ning jah kthäh khai, “Ia phäha nami na khü lawki ni?” a ti.
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
Konelih naw, “Ahin kcün mhnüp kthum anghjawk üng, ka ima naji kthum üng ka ktaiyü k'um üng; khyang mat suisak bawk suisa lü, ka maa ngdüi lawki naw,
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
‘Konelih aw, na ktaiyünak Pamhnam naw ngja ve, na petmsawt ja na bilawh naküt pi Pamhnam naw ksing ve.
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.’
Acunakyase, Jukpei mlüha khyang tüi lü Sihmon, Pita ami ti cun, na veia khüa; ani cun mliktui pei, savun pyangki Sihmona ima kaiki ni’ a ti.
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.”
Acunakyase, na veia khyang angxita ka tüih lawa kyaki; na law hin daw ve. Acunakyase, Bawipa naw ngthu aning mtheh naküt ngai khaia, atuh Pamhnama hmuha kami van hin üng kami veki” a ti.
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
Pita naw pyen lü, “Pamhnam naw, khyang naküt atänga jah mceiki tia akcanga ka ksingki;
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
acunsepi, au pi amät hjawkhah lü akdaw pawhkia khyang mjü naküt cun mkhawihnga lü jah dokhamki.
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
“Ani naw, acuna ngthu cun nami ksingki, acun hin Jesuh Khritaw üngkhyüh dim’yenaka thangkdaw Isarel veia a peta kyaki. ‘Jesuh cun khyang naküta Bawia kyaki’ tia nami ksingki.
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Johan naw Baptican khamnaka mawng ngthu a pyen käna, Kalile üngkhyüh cutei lü Isarel khaw naküt üng ngthu ngthang hükia münkse bilawhnake cun nangmi naw pi nami ksingki;
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.
Nazaret Jesuha mawng ta ania khana Pamhnam naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ja johit am a besak; ani cun Pamhnama veia vekia kyase, khyanga khana akdaw pawh lü khawyaia jah khuimkhae naküt jah mdaw be lü cit hüki.
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.
Judahea khaw ja Jerusalem mlüh a jah bilawh naküt kami saksinaki; ani cun kutlamktung üng taih u lü, ami hnim.
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
Pamhnam naw amhnüp thum üng mtho be lü a ngdangsak,
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.
acunsepi, khyang naküta veia am kya lü, keimie kami saksi khaia Pamhnam naw a jah xü, thihnak üngkhyüh a thawh be käna amät am atänga eiaw yüm khaia a jah mtheh ni.
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.
Acuna Bawipa cun akthie ja akxüng hea khana ngthumkhyah khaia Pamhnam naw a mcawna kyaki tia, khyangea veia sang hü khaiea, jah ksing hüsak khaiea, Pamhnam naw ngthu a jah pet.
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
A u pi, ani jumeiki naküt, a ngminga phäha a mkhyekatnak mhlätnak yah khai tia, ania mawng cun sahmae naküt naw ami sang khawi ni” a ti.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
Pita naw acuna ngthu a pyen hui üng, ngthu ngjakie naküta khana, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim pha lawki.
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.
Pitaa veia law hngakie Judah jumeiki khyange naw, khyangmjükceea khana pi Pamhnam naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim a pha lawsak hmu u lü cäikie.
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
Käh ksinga ngthu am ngthuhei u lü Pamhnam mhlünmtai u se, ami jah ksinga phäha kyaki. Acunüng, Pita naw jah msang lü,
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
“Hine, mimi mäiha Ngmüimkhya Ngcim yah hngakie cun tui üng Baptican am khan khaiea, u naw a jah khyawh ni?” ti lü,
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
Jesuh Khritawa ngming am Baptican khan khaiea a jah mtheh. Acun käna Pita cun ami veia asäng ve khaia ami nghuinak.
