Orekma 10
1 Oasr sie mwet muta in acn Caesarea, inel pa Cornelius, ac el sie mwet leum lun un solse lun acn Rome, su pangpang “Un Mwet Mweun lun Acn Italy.”
Now there was at Caesarea a man named Cornelius, a captain in the Italian regiment.
2 El sie mwet akfulatye God, na el ac sou lal nufon alu nu sin God. Yohk pac kasru ma el oru nu sin mwet Jew ma sukasrup, ac el sikalani na in pre nu sin God.
He was a devout man and God-fearing, and so were all his household. He gave many alms to the people, and constantly prayed to God.
3 Sahp ac ao tolu tafun len tok sie len ah, el liye sie aruruma na kalem, ac el liye sie lipufan lun God tuku nu yorol su fahk, “Cornelius!”
About three o’clock one afternoon he had a vision, and distinctly saw an angel of God enter his house and say to him, "Cornelius."
4 Ke el suiya lipufan sac el sangeng, ac el fahk, “Leum, mea se?” Ac lipufan sac fahk, “God El insewowo ke pre lom ac orekma kulang kom oru uh, ac El akola in topuk kom.
He stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, Lord?" "Your prayers and your alms have risen for a memorial before God," answered the angel;
5 Inge, supwala kutu mwet an nu Joppa, nu yurin sie mwet su inel pa Simon Peter.
"and now send men to Joppa and fetch one Simon, who is called Peter.
6 El muta yurin sie mwet pangpang Simon, sie mwet orekma ke kulun kosro, ac lohm sel oan wekof uh.”
"He is staying as a guest with Simon, a tanner, whose house is near the sea."
7 Tukun lipufan sac som, na Cornelius el pangonma luo mwet kulansap in lohm sel ah, oayapa sie mwet mweun su akfulatye God ac su el lulalfongi yohk.
And after the angel who was speaking to him was gone, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier who was in constant attendance upon him,
8 El fahkang nu seltal ma sikyak uh, ac supwaltalla nu Joppa.
and after telling them everything, he sent them to Joppa.
9 In len tok ah ke elos som ac apkuran nu Joppa, Peter el fanyak nu ke mangon lohm sac ke akuran infulwen len elan tuh pre.
The next day, while they were still on their way and were approaching the town, about noon, Peter went up to the housetop to pray.
10 El masrinsralla ac ke nal kutu mongo. Ke srakna akoeyuk mongo uh, el liye sie aruruma.
He had become very hungry and longed for food; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance.
11 El liye kusrao ikakla, ac ma se koeyukla lucng me oana luman sie kaot na lulap, kukla ke sruwasrik akosr kac ah nu faclu.
He beheld the sky opened, and a vessel descending like an enormous sail let down to earth by four corners.
12 Ma oan loac uh pa kain in kosro ac ma orakrak nukewa, oayapa won lemnak.
In it were all kinds of quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and wild birds.
13 Pusra se fahk nu sel, “Peter, tuyak! Uni ma inge ac kang.”
A voice came to him, saying, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
14 Ac Peter el fahk, “Leum, nga tia ku! Nga soenna kang kutena ma su tia nasnas ku oal nu sik uh.”
"Not so, my Lord," answered Peter, "for I have never yet eaten anything common and unclean."
15 Na pusra sac sifilpa fahk nu sel, “Nimet kom nunku mu kutena ma ac sufal in mongo, God El fin fahk mu ku in mongo.”
And again a second time came to him a voice, saying, "What God has cleansed you must not call common."
16 Ouiya se inge sikyak pacl tolu, na kaot sac folokyak nu inkusrao.
This happened three times; and immediately the sail was drawn up into the sky.
17 Ke Peter el srakna suk lah mea kalmen aruruma se inge, na mwet ma Cornelius el tuh supu ah konauk lohm sel Simon, ac inge eltal tu ke mutunoa.
Now while Peter was greatly perplexed to know what the vision which he had been sent by Cornelius, and had made inquiries for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
18 Eltal pangyak ac siyuk, “Oasr mwet se pangpang Simon Peter lohm uh?”
and called and asked whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.
19 Peter el srakna suk lah mea kalmen aruruma sac, ke Ngun Mutal fahk nu sel, “Liye, mwet tolu pa suk kom inge.
So the Spirit said to Peter, who was still pondering over the vision.
20 Ke ma inge, kom akola ac tufoki welultal som. Nimet fosrnga — nga pa supwaltalma uh.”
"Three men are now looking for you. Rise, go down and go with them, nothing doubting; for it is I who have sent them."
21 Ouinge Peter el tufoki nu ten ac fahk nu seltal, “Nga pa mwet se komtal suk an. Mea sripen tuku lowos an?”
So Peter went down to the men and said. "I am the man you are looking for. What is the reason of your coming?"
22 Na eltal fahk, “Captain Cornelius el supwekut. El mwet na wowo se, ac el alu nu sin God, ac mwet Jew nukewa arulana akfulatyal. Lipufan se lun God fahkang nu sel mu elan sapma suli kom nu in lohm sel ah, tuh el fah ku in lohng ma kom ac fahk uh.”
"Cornelius," they answered, "a captain, a devout man, and God- fearing, of whom the whole, Jewish nation speaks well, was instructed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to listen to your message."
23 Peter el solauk mwet uh nu in lohm uh, ac eltal motulla we ke fong sac. Len tok ah, el akola ac welultal som; ac kutu sin mwet lulalfongi in acn Joppa wi pac som.
So he invited them in and gave them lodging. The next day he rose, and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied them;
24 Len se toko ah el sun acn Caesarea, yen Cornelius el muta soanel we, wi pac sou lal ac mwet kawuk ma el solama ah.
and the day after that they reached Caesarea. There Cornelius was waiting for them, and had brought together all his relatives and intimate friends.
25 Ke Peter el akola in utyak, Cornelius el osun nu sel, faksufi ac alu nu sel.
When Peter entered the house Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him;
26 Tuh Peter el tulokunulak ac fahk nu sel, “Tuyak. Mwet se na pa nga.”
but Peter lifted him up. "Stand up," he said, "I am only a man, myself."
27 Peter el kaskas na nu sel Cornelius ke eltal utyak nu in lohm uh, ac el konauk lah mwet puspis toeni we.
And as he talked with him, he went in and found a large company assembled.
28 Peter el fahk nu selos, “Kowos arulana etu lah alu lun mwet Jew uh tia lela mwet lalos in aengani ku fahsr nu yurin mwet ke mutunfacl saya uh. Tusruktu God El akkalemye nu sik nga in tia pangon mu kutu mwet uh tia nasnas ku sufal nga in aengani yoro.
To them he said. "You know, yourselves, that it is illegal for a Jew to associate with or to visit one of another nation; but God has taught me that I should not call any man common or unclean. For this reason, when sent for, I came without demur.
29 Pwanang ke kowos sapma nu sik uh, nga tia alolo in tuku. Tuh nga ke siyuk suwos lah efu kowos ku suliyu?”
"I ask therefore why you sent for me."
30 Cornelius el fahk, “Sahp ac pacl se pacna inge ke len tolu somla, pa nga tuh pre in lohm sik ah ke ao tolu tafun len tok. Na in kitin pacl ah na mwet se sikme nu sik. El nukum nuknuk na saromrom ac tu ye mutuk
Cornelius answered. "Three days ago, at this very hour, I was praying in my house at three o’clock in the afternoon, when suddenly a man in a shining robe stood by me,
31 ac fahk, ‘Cornelius! God El lohng tari pre lom, ac El liye orekma in pakoten lom.
and said. "‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 Supwala sie mwet ah nu Joppa nu sin mwet se su inel pa Simon Peter. El muta in lohm sin sie mwet orekma ke kulun kosro, su pangpang Simon, su lohm sel oan wekof uh.’
"‘So send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. He is lodging with Simon the tanner, in a house by the seaside.’
33 Na pa nga tuh sapot suli kom in pacl sacna, ac kom arulana kulang lah kom tuku. Inge kut nukewa tukeni inse inge ye mutun God, ac akola in lohng ma nukewa ma God El ac sap kom in fahk nu sesr uh.”
"So I sent for you without delay, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to speak."
34 Peter el mutawauk in sramsram ac fahk, “Inge nga akilen lah pwayena God El oru mwet nukewa oana sie.
Then Peter began to speak. "Of a truth I begin to see quite plainly that God is no respecter of persons;
35 Kutena mwet su sangeng sel ac oru ma suwohs, God El insewowo sel, el finne tuhn fuka ku mwet oya.
"but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36 God El supwama kas lal nu sin mwet Israel, in fahkak Pweng Wo ke misla ma tuku ke Jesus Christ, su Leum fin mwet nukewa.
"You cannot but know the message which he sent to the descendants of Israel, when he preached the gospel of peace by Jesus Christ who is Lord of all;
37 Kowos etu ke ouiya pwengpeng se ma sikyak in acn Judea nufon, mutawauk in acn Galilee tukun John el fahkak mwe luti lal ke baptais ah.
"you know the message spread throughout all Judea, beginning in Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Kowos etu pac kacl Jesus lun Nazareth, ac ke God El sang Ngun Mutal ac ku lulap nu sel. El tuh forfor in acn nukewa ac oru ma wo, ac akkeyalos nukewa su oan ye ku lun Devil, mweyen God El welul.
"how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about everywhere doing good, and curing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
39 Kut mwet loh ke ma nukewa ma el tuh oru in Jerusalem ac in facl lun mwet Jew. Na elos unilya ke elos srupsrulak fin sakseng soko.
"And we were witnesses of all that he did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him, hanging him on a tree.
40 Tuh God El akmoulyalak liki misa tukun len se aktolu, ac oru tuh elan sifilpa sikyak nu sin mwet uh —
"But him God raised up on the third day, and permitted him to be made manifest,
41 tia nu sin mwet nukewa, a nu sesr mukena, su God El nuna sulela tuh kut in orek loh kac. Aok, kut tuh welul mongo ac nim tukun el moulyak ah.
"not to all the people, but to witnesses - men previously chosen by God - that is, to us, who ate and drank with him after he had risen from the dead;
42 Ac el sapkin nu sesr in luti ke Wosasu nu sin mwet uh, ac in fahkak lah el pa God El srisrngiya in tuh nununku mwet moul ac mwet misa.
"when he charged us to preach to the people, and to testify that this was he whom God ordained to be the judge of the living and of the dead.
43 Mwet palu nukewa tuh fahkak kacl. Elos fahk lah mwet nukewa su lulalfongi kacl ac fah eis nunak munas ke ma koluk lalos ke ku lun inel.”
"To him all the prophets bear witness, testifying that through his name every one that believes on him will receive remission of sins."
44 Ke Peter el srakna sramsram, na Ngun Mutal putati nu fin mwet nukewa ma lohng luti lal ah.
While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the message.
45 Mwet lulalfongi sin mwet Jew su welul Peter tuku Joppa me elos arulana lut lah God El sang mwe kite lal ke Ngun Mutal nu sin mwet pegan pac.
And all the Jewish believers who had accompanied Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
46 Mweyen elos lohng ke mwet inge sramsram ke pusra ma siena liki kas lalos, ac kaksakin fulatlana lun God. Na Peter el kasak ac fahk,
For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
47 “Mwet inge elos eis Ngun Mutal oana ke kut tuh eis ah. Ke ouinge uh, ya oasr mwet ac ku in ikolya elos in tia baptaisla ke kof?”
Then Peter said, "Can any one refuse water for the baptism of these men who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?"
48 Na el sap in baptaisiyukla elos inen Jesus Christ. Tukun ma inge, elos siyuk sel elan mutawin yorolos ke kutu len.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for a time.
