Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
kaisariyAnagara itAliyAkhyasainyAntargataH karNIliyanAmA senApatirAsIt
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.
sa saparivAro bhakta IshvaraparAyaNashchAsIt; lokebhyo bahUni dAnAdIni datvA nirantaram Ishvare prArthayA nchakre|
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!”
ekadA tR^itIyapraharavelAyAM sa dR^iShTavAn Ishvarasyaiko dUtaH saprakAshaM tatsamIpam Agatya kathitavAn, he karNIliya|
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.
kintu sa taM dR^iShTvA bhIto. akathayat, he prabho kiM? tadA tamavadat tava prArthanA dAnAdi cha sAkShisvarUpaM bhUtveshvarasya gocharamabhavat|
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
idAnIM yAphonagaraM prati lokAn preShya samudratIre shimonnAmnashcharmmakArasya gR^ihe pravAsakArI pitaranAmnA vikhyAto yaH shimon tam AhvAyaya;
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
tasmAt tvayA yadyat karttavyaM tattat sa vadiShyati|
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.
ityupadishya dUte prasthite sati karNIliyaH svagR^ihasthAnAM dAsAnAM dvau janau nityaM svasa NginAM sainyAnAm ekAM bhaktasenA nchAhUya
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

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.
parasmin dine te yAtrAM kR^itvA yadA nagarasya samIpa upAtiShThan, tadA pitaro dvitIyapraharavelAyAM prArthayituM gR^ihapR^iShTham Arohat|
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
etasmin samaye kShudhArttaH san ki nchid bhoktum aichChat kintu teShAm annAsAdanasamaye sa mUrchChitaH sannapatat|
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
tato meghadvAraM muktaM chaturbhiH koNai rlambitaM bR^ihadvastramiva ki nchana bhAjanam AkAshAt pR^ithivIm avArohatIti dR^iShTavAn|
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
tanmadhye nAnaprakArA grAmyavanyapashavaH khecharorogAmiprabhR^itayo jantavashchAsan|
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
anantaraM he pitara utthAya hatvA bhuMkShva tampratIyaM gagaNIyA vANI jAtA|
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
tadA pitaraH pratyavadat, he prabho IdR^ishaM mA bhavatu, aham etat kAlaM yAvat niShiddham ashuchi vA dravyaM ki nchidapi na bhuktavAn|
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
tataH punarapi tAdR^ishI vihayasIyA vANI jAtA yad IshvaraH shuchi kR^itavAn tat tvaM niShiddhaM na jAnIhi|
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
itthaM triH sati tat pAtraM punarAkR^iShTaM AkAsham agachChat|
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,
tataH paraM yad darshanaM prAptavAn tasya ko bhAva ityatra pitaro manasA sandegdhi, etasmin samaye karNIliyasya te preShitA manuShyA dvArasya sannidhAvupasthAya,
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
shimono gR^ihamanvichChantaH sampR^iChyAhUya kathitavantaH pitaranAmnA vikhyAto yaH shimon sa kimatra pravasati?
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
yadA pitarastaddarshanasya bhAvaM manasAndolayati tadAtmA tamavadat, pashya trayo janAstvAM mR^igayante|
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
tvam utthAyAvaruhya niHsandehaM taiH saha gachCha mayaiva te preShitAH|
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
tasmAt pitaro. avaruhya karNIliyapreritalokAnAM nikaTamAgatya kathitavAn pashyata yUyaM yaM mR^igayadhve sa janohaM, yUyaM kinnimittam AgatAH?
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.”
tataste pratyavadan karNIliyanAmA shuddhasattva IshvaraparAyaNo yihUdIyadeshasthAnAM sarvveShAM sannidhau sukhyAtyApanna ekaH senApati rnijagR^ihaM tvAmAhUya netuM tvattaH kathA shrotu ncha pavitradUtena samAdiShTaH|
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.
tadA pitarastAnabhyantaraM nItvA teShAmAtithyaM kR^itavAn, pare. ahani taiH sArddhaM yAtrAmakarot, yAphonivAsinAM bhrAtR^iNAM kiyanto janAshcha tena saha gatAH|
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
parasmin divase kaisariyAnagaramadhyapraveshasamaye karNIliyo j nAtibandhUn AhUyAnIya tAn apekShya sthitaH|
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
pitare gR^iha upasthite karNIliyastaM sAkShAtkR^itya charaNayoH patitvA prANamat|
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
pitarastamutthApya kathitavAn, uttiShThAhamapi mAnuShaH|
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
tadA karNIliyena sAkam Alapan gR^ihaM prAvishat tanmadhye cha bahulokAnAM samAgamaM dR^iShTvA tAn avadat,
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.
anyajAtIyalokaiH mahAlapanaM vA teShAM gR^ihamadhye praveshanaM yihUdIyAnAM niShiddham astIti yUyam avagachChatha; kintu kamapi mAnuSham avyavahAryyam ashuchiM vA j nAtuM mama nochitam iti parameshvaro mAM j nApitavAn|
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
iti hetorAhvAnashravaNamAtrAt kA nchanApattim akR^itvA yuShmAkaM samIpam Agatosmi; pR^ichChAmi yUyaM kinnimittaM mAm AhUyata?
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
tadA karNIliyaH kathitavAn, adya chatvAri dinAni jAtAni etAvadvelAM yAvad aham anAhAra Asan tatastR^itIyaprahare sati gR^ihe prArthanasamaye tejomayavastrabhR^id eko jano mama samakShaM tiShThan etAM kathAm akathayat,
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
he karNIliya tvadIyA prArthanA Ishvarasya karNagocharIbhUtA tava dAnAdi cha sAkShisvarUpaM bhUtvA tasya dR^iShTigocharamabhavat|
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.’
ato yAphonagaraM prati lokAn prahitya tatra samudratIre shimonnAmnaH kasyachichcharmmakArasya gR^ihe pravAsakArI pitaranAmnA vikhyAto yaH shimon tamAhUyaya; tataH sa Agatya tvAm upadekShyati|
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.”

34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
tadA pitara imAM kathAM kathayitum ArabdhavAn, Ishvaro manuShyANAm apakShapAtI san
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
yasya kasyachid deshasya yo lokAstasmAdbhItvA satkarmma karoti sa tasya grAhyo bhavati, etasya nishchayam upalabdhavAnaham|
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
sarvveShAM prabhu ryo yIshukhrIShTastena Ishvara isrAyelvaMshAnAM nikaTe susaMvAdaM preShya sammelanasya yaM saMvAdaM prAchArayat taM saMvAdaM yUyaM shrutavantaH|
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
yato yohanA majjane prachArite sati sa gAlIladeshamArabhya samastayihUdIyadeshaM vyApnot;
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.

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.

40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
kintu tR^itIyadivase IshvarastamutthApya saprakAsham adarshayat|
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.

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.

43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
yastasmin vishvasiti sa tasya nAmnA pApAnmukto bhaviShyati tasmin sarvve bhaviShyadvAdinopi etAdR^ishaM sAkShyaM dadati|
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
pitarasyaitatkathAkathanakAle sarvveShAM shrotR^iNAmupari pavitra AtmAvArohat|
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.
tataH pitareNa sArddham AgatAstvakChedino vishvAsino lokA anyadeshIyebhyaH pavitra Atmani datte sati
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
te nAnAjAtIyabhAShAbhiH kathAM kathayanta IshvaraM prashaMsanti, iti dR^iShTvA shrutvA cha vismayam Apadyanta|
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
tadA pitaraH kathitavAn, vayamiva ye pavitram AtmAnaM prAptAsteShAM jalamajjanaM kiM kopi niSheddhuM shaknoti?
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
