1Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
1Caesarea vangpui ah Kornelia, tiah kawk ih kami maeto oh, anih loe Italy misatuh kami cumvaito ukkung ah oh moe,
2a 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.
2anih hoi a imthung takoh boih loe Sithaw zii kami, bokhaih bangah angpaek kami ah oh o, anih loe amtang kaminawk hanah hmuenmae paek khue ai ah, Sithaw khae lawkthui toepsoep kami ah oh.
3At 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!”
3Atue thumto phak naah, anih mah hnuksakhaih hmuen maeto a hnuk, Sithaw ih van kami angzoh moe, anih khaeah, Kornelia, tiah a naa.
4He, 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.
4Kornelia mah anih to khet naah zit moe, Angraeng, tih maw? tiah a naa. Anih mah Kornelia khaeah, Na lawkthuihaih hoi amtang kaminawk hanah na paqumh ih hmuen loe, panoek poe hanah Sithaw hmaa angzoh tahang boeh.
5Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
5Vaihi Joppa vangpui ah kami patoeh ah loe Piter, tiah kawk ih, Simon to kawk ah:
6He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
6anih loe moihin huikung Simon im ah oh, anih ih im loe tuipui taengah oh: anih mah na sak han koi hmuen to na thui tih, tiah a naa.
7When 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.
7Anih khaeah lok kathui van kami to tacawt pacoengah, Kornelia mah a tamna hnik hoi Sithaw tanghaih tawn misatuh kami maeto a kawk moe;
8Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
8a hnuk ih hmuen hoi a thaih ih hmuennawk to a thuih pae boih pacoengah, nihcae to Joppa vangpui ah patoeh.
9Now 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.
9Khawnbangah loe nihcae kholong caeh amsak o, Joppa vangpui to a phak o tom boeh, Piter loe lawkthuih hanah atue tarukto naah im ranui asom ah dawh tahang:
10He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
10anih loe zok amthlam parai pongah, buhcaak han koeh boeh: buhcaak hanah patoem pae o naah, hnuksakhaih to a hnuk,
11He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
11kam-ong van to a hnuk, anih khae krah tathuk, takii palito kaom kahni anih khaeah long ah khrah tathuk hmuen to a hnuk.
12in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
12To kahni pongah loe khok palito kaom congca moinawk to oh, long ah kaom moisannawk, long ah kavak hmuennawk hoi van ah kazawk tavaanawk doeh oh.
13A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
13To naah anih khaeah lok maeto angzoh moe, Piter angthawk ah; bop ah loe, caa ah, tiah a naa.
14But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
14Toe Piter mah, Angcoeng thai ai, Angraeng; caak vai ai ih hmuen, to tih ai boeh loe ciimcai ai hmuen roe ka caa vai ai, tiah a naa.
15A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
15Vai hnetto haih ih lok mah anih khaeah, Sithaw mah ciimsak tangcae ih hmuen to ciimcai ai, tiah na thuih han om ai, tiah a naa.
16This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
16To tiah vaithumto amtueng; to pacoengah loe to hmuen to van ah lak tahang let.
17Now 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,
17Piter mah to tiah hnuk ih hmuen loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw vai, tiah a poek li naah, khenah, Kornerlia mah patoeh ih kaminawk mah Simon ih im to pakrong o, khongkha hma ah angdoet o moe,
18and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
18Piter, tiah kawk ih Simon to haeah oh maw? tiah a dueng o.
19While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
19Piter mah a hnuk ih hmuen to poek li naah, Muithla mah anih khaeah, Khenah, kami long thumto mah nang ang pakrong o, tiah a naa.
20But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
20To pongah angthawk ah, anghum tathuk ah loe, nihcae hoi nawnto caeh ah, palunghaenghaih tawn hmah, kai mah ni nihcae to kang patoeh, tiah a naa.
21Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
21Piter loe anghum tathuk moe, Kornelia mah patoeh ih kaminawk khaeah; khenah, na pakrong o ih kami loe kai hae ni: tih sak han ih maw nang zoh o? tiah a naa.
22They 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.”
22Nihcae mah, Kami katoeng, Sithaw zii kami, Judah kaminawk boih mah saiqat o ih misatuh cumvaito ukkung Kornerlia mah, nang to angmah im ah kawk moe, na thuih ih lok to tahngaih hanah, Sithaw mah kaciim van kami maeto rang hoiah lok a thuih pae, tiah a naa o.
23So 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.
23To naah Piter mah nihcae to imthung ah kawk moe, anghaksak. Khawnbangah Piter loe nihcae hoi nawnto caeh, Joppa vangpui ah kaom nawkamya thoemtonawk doeh anih hnukah bang o.
24On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
24Khawnbangah Caesarea vangpui thungah akun o. Kornerlia loe angmah ih canawk hoi kangzong ampuinawk to kawk moe, nihcae to zing o.
25When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
25Piter imthung ah akun naah, Kornerlia mah anih to dawt moe, a khokkung ah tabok hoiah anih to bok.
26But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
26Toe Piter mah anih to pathawk, angthawk ah, kai doeh kami maeto toeng ni, tiah a naa.
27As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
27Lok apaeh hoi pacoengah, Piter loe imthung ah akun, to naah pop parai amkhueng kaminawk to a hnuk.
28He 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.
28Peter mah nihcae khaeah, minawk kalah hoi angkom moe, nawnto oh hae Judah kaminawk ih atawk na ai ni, tito na panoek o; toe kawbaktih kami khaeah doeh nang loe na ciimcai ai, nam hnong aak, tiah thuih han ai ah, Sithaw mah hmuen ang patuek boeh.
29Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
29To pongah kai nang kawk o naah, angaekhaih tidoeh om ai ah nangcae khaeah kang zoh: tih han ih maw kai haeah nang kawk o? tiah lokdueng han ka koeh, tiah a naa.
30Cornelius 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
30To naah Kornerlia mah, Kalaem tangcae ni palito, vaihi tue thuem, atue takawtto naah, buhzah hoiah kaimah im ah lawk ka thuih; khenah, kampha kahni angkhuk kami maeto ka hma ah angdoet moe,
31and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
31kai khaeah, Kornerlia, lawk na thuihaih lok to thaih boeh, amtang kaminawk han na paqumh ih hmuennawk doeh Sithaw mah panoek boeh.
32Send 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.’
32To pongah Joppa vangpui ah kami to patoeh ah loe, Piter, tiah ahmin kaom Simon to kawk ah; anih loe tuipui taengah kaom moihin sahkung, Simon im ah toemh: anih phak naah, nang hanah lokthui tih, tiah ang naa.
33Therefore 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.”
33To pongah kami kang patoeh roep; haeah nang zoh hae paroeai hoih. To pongah Sithaw mah ang paek ih hmuennawk boih tahngaih hanah, kaicae loe vaihi Sithaw hmaa ah kang cuu o, tiah a naa.
34Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
34To pacoengah Piter mah lokthuih amtong, Sithaw loe mi kawbaktih ih mikhmai doeh khen ai, tiah thuih ih lok loe amsoem, tito vaihi ka panoek boeh;
35but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
35toe zithaih tawn kami hoi toenghaih sah prae kaminawk boih to anih mah talawk.
36The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
36Sithaw mah Israel caanawk khaeah patoeh ih lok mah, Jesu Kri rang hoiah monghaih lok to thuih: (anih loe kaminawk boih ih Angraeng ah oh:)
37you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
37Johan mah tuinuemhaih lok thuih pacoengah, Kalili prae hoiah amtong moe, Judea prae boih ah thuih ih to tamthang lok to na panoek o boeh;
38how 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.
38Sithaw mah anih to oh thuih pongah, Sithaw mah Kacai Muithla hoi thacakhaih hoiah Nazareth Jesu to situi bawh, anih loe kahoih hmuennawk to sak moe, taqawk mah pacaekthlaek ih kaminawk doeh ngan a tuisak, tito na panoek o.
39We 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.
39Kaicae loe anih mah Judah prae hoi Jerusalem ah sak ih hmuenawk boih hnukung ah ka oh o; Anih to thinglam pongah takhing o moe, hum o:
40God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
40Toe Sithaw mah ni thumto pacoengah Anih to pathawk let, Anih to kamnoek ah amtuengsak boeh;
41not 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.
41Anih loe kaminawk boih khaeah amtueng ai, toe duekhaih thung hoi angthawk let pacoengah, angmah hoi buh nawnto kacaa Sithaw angmah qoih coek ih hnukungah kaom, kaicae khaeah ni amtueng.
42He 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.
42Sithaw mah Anih hanah kadueh hoi kahing kaminawk lokcaekhaih to paek boeh, tiah kaminawk khaeah thuih moe, panoeksak hanah, kaicae khaeah lok ang paek.
43All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
43Mi kawbaktih doeh anih tang kami loe angmah ih ahmin rang hoiah zae tahmenhaih to hnu tih, tiah tahmaanawk boih mah thuih o boeh.
44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
44Piter mah hae loknawk thuih li naah, lok thaih kaminawk boih nuiah Kacai Muithla to krak tathuk.
45They 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.
45Gentel kaminawk nuiah doeh Kacai Muithla tangqum to kraih pae toeng boeh pongah, Piter hoi nawnto angzo tangzat hin aat tangcaanawk loe dawnrai o.
46For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
46Nihcae mah kalah loknawk to apaeh o moe, Sithaw pakoeh o boeh, tito nihcae mah thaih o. To pacoengah Piter mah,
47“Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
47tuinuemhaih paek han ai ah, mi mah maw hae kaminawk hae pakaa thai tih? Kaicae mah talawk ih baktih toengah, nihcae mah doeh Kacai Muithla to talawk o toeng boeh, tiah a naa.
48He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
48To pongah nihcae to Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah tuinuem hanah a thuih pae. To pacoengah nihcae mah Piter khaeah, ni nazetto thungah maw loe cam rae hanah, tahmenhaih hnik o.
