¹There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

¹Hi ngata Kaisarea, ria hadua tomane, hanga' -na Kornelius. Kornelius tohe'ei, pangka' -na kapitee to mpohawai' ha'atu tantara to Roma hi rala hampo'emaa' to rahanga' "Tantara Italia."

²A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

²Bela-i to Yahudi, aga mengkoru mpu'u-i hi Pue' Ala, pai' hira' hantinaa-ra mepue' hi Alata'ala. Wori' doi nawai' -raka to Yahudi to kabu, pai' tida-i mosampaya hi Alata'ala.

³He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

³Rala-na ha'eo, ba jaa tolu libe eo wae, mopangila-i Kornelius. Hi rala pangila-na toe, monoto lia nahilo hadua mala'eka Pue' mehupa' pai' mpokio' -i, na'uli': "Kornelius!"

⁴And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

⁴Me'eka' -i Kornelius mponaa mala'eka toei. Metompoi' -i: "Napa-die Pue'?" Na'uli' mala'eka toei: "Goe' -i Alata'ala mpo'epe posampaya-nu, pai' na'inca kamanara-nu mpotulungi tokabu.

⁵And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

⁵Wae-pi, hubui tauna hilou hi Yope mpali' hadua tauna to rahanga' Simon Petrus, pai' kio' -i tumai.

⁶He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

⁶Po'ohaa' -na mohu' hi wiwi' tahi', hi tomi hadua topobago rewa kuliba, Simon wo'o hanga' -na."

⁷And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;

⁷Kamalai-na mala'eka to mpololitai-i toe, Kornelius mpokio' rodua pahawaa' -na pai' hadua tantara sarumakaa-na. Tantara sarumakaa-na toe, to mengkoru wo'o-i-hawo hi Pue' Ala.

⁸And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

⁸Kornelius mpo'uli' -raka napa to lako' nahilo we'i hi rala pangila-na, pai' nahubui-ra hilou hi Yope mpopali' Petrus.

⁹On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

⁹Kamepulo-na, bula-ra hi lengko ohea-pidi to rahubui toera, kamohu' -ra hi Yope, Petrus wo'o-hawo ngkahe' hilou hi pengkawinaraa to hi lolo tomi to molempe ata' -na, hilou mosampaya.

¹⁰And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

¹⁰Neo' tebua' -mi eo-na, mo'oro' -imi doko' ngkoni'. Jadi', bula-na mpeka'au kataha' koni', muu-mule' ria pangila-na.

¹¹And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

¹¹Hi rala pangila-na toe, mpohilo-i langi' tebea pai' ria to hewa kumu' to mowela' ratoe hi opo' huno-na pai' ra'ulu tumai hi tana'.

¹²Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

¹²Hi rala kumu' to ra'ulu toe, mparanyalaa binata, ria omea: to opo' witi' -na, to menyolo, hante danci wo'o.

¹³And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

¹³Oti toe, na'epe Petrus ria to mpololitai-i, na'uli' -ki: "Ee Petrus! Mai-moko, sumale' -ramo binata toera lau, pai' nukoni'."

¹⁴But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

¹⁴Na'uli' Petrus: "Uma-e' Pue'! Ko'ia ria kukoni' to rapalii' ba to ra'uli' babo' ntuku' ada agama-kai."

¹⁵And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

¹⁵Na'uli' tena topololita toei mpo'uli' -ki Petrus: "Napa to na'uli' Alata'ala lompe', neo' nu'uli' iko babo'."

¹⁶This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

¹⁶Pangila toe tolu ngkani nahilo, pai' oti toe, te'ore' nculii' -mi kumu' toe hilou hi langi'.

¹⁷Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

¹⁷Ngkai ree, ingu' -imi Petrus mpopekiri ba napa batua-na pangila to lako' nahilo toe. Bula-na mopekiri-pidi, rata-ramo suro Kornelius hi ngata Yope. Mepekune' -ra hi pue' ngata kahiapa-na tomi Simon. Ratudo' -raka tomi to rapali' pai' hilou-ramo mokore hi wobo' wala,

¹⁸And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

¹⁸pai' -ra mepekune', ra'uli': "Ba ria hi rehe'i hadua torata to rahanga' Simon Petrus?"

¹⁹While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

¹⁹Bula-na mopekiri-pidi Petrus, Inoha' Tomoroli' mpo'uli' -ki hewa toi: "Epe pe'! Ria tolu tauna tumai mpali' -ko.

²⁰Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

²⁰Pesahui mana'u. Neo' morara' nono-nu mpotuku' -ra, apa' Aku' -hana to mpohubui-ra."

²¹Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

²¹Jadi', pana'u-nami Petrus ngkai tomi pai' na'uli' -raka to lako' rata toera: "Aku' -mile to nipali' -e. Napa-di to nipali' -kae?"

²²And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

²²Ratompoi': "Kai' tohe'i, napowiwi Kapitee Kornelius. Hi'a toe, tauna to monoa' ingku-na. Mengkoru-i hi Alata'ala, pai' -i rabila' hawe'ea to Yahudi. Hadua mala'eka Pue' mpohubui-i mpokio' -ko hilou hi tomi-na, bona na'epe ba napa to nu'uli' -ki."

²³Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

²³Petrus mpo'uli' -raka suro Kornelius toera: "Turu rei-tamo ulu hamengi." Turu mpu'u-ramo hamengi hi ree. Kamepulo-na, me'ongko' mpu'u-imi Petrus mpotuku' -ra hilou hi ngata Kaisarea. Pai' ria wo'o ba hangkuja dua ompi' hampepangalaa' ngkai Yope hilou dohe-ra.

²⁴And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

²⁴Hamengi-ra hi lengko ohea pai' lako' rata-rada hi Kaisarea. Karata-ra hi ria, mpolia' morumpu-ramo Kornelius hante posantina-na mpopea Petrus. Ria wo'o tongki-na pai' bale-na to nakio' morumpu hi tomi-na.

²⁵And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

²⁵Jadi', karata-na Petrus hi tomi Kornelius, mehompo-imi Kornelius ngkai tomi hilou mpotomu-i. Motingkua' -i hi nyanyoa Petrus mponyompa-i.

²⁶But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

²⁶Aga Petrus mpotagi-i, na'ore' -i nculii' pai' na'uli' -ki: "Neo' -hawo wae! Mokore-moko. Aku' manusia' wo'o-a-wadi-kuwo, hewa iko."

²⁷And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

²⁷Bula-na Petrus mpololitai-i, mesua' -ramo hi rala tomi. Nahilo-hawo Petrus, wori' -mi tauna himuhu.

²⁸And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

²⁸Na'uli' Petrus mpo'uli' -raka: "Ni'inca moto-le, ntuku' atura agama-kai, kai' to Yahudi uma ma'ala mposigalo-kokoi tauna to bela-koi to Yahudi ba mesua' hi rala tomi-ni. Aga Alata'ala mpakanoto-ka hi rala pangila-ku wengi, ka'uma-na ria manusia' to babo' ntuku' ada agama ba to rapalii' mposigalo-raka.

²⁹Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

²⁹Toe pai' kanikio' -ku tumai, uma-a leba' motance. Jadi', hewa toe lau, doko' ku'inca ba napa pai' nikio' -a tumai."

³⁰And 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,

³⁰Na'uli' Kornelius: "Tolu mengi to liu, ba hewa jaa toe-mi lau, bula-ku mosampaya hi tomi-ku jaa tolu libe eo, ria ncorobaa hadua tomane mokore hi nyanyoa-ku. Pohea-na meringkila' -damo.

³¹And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

³¹Na'uli' tauna toei mpo'uli' -ka: `Kornelius, Alata'ala mpo'epe posampaya-nu pai' na'inca kamanara-nu.

³²Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

³²Wae-pi, hubui tauna hilou hi ngata Yope mpokio' tauna to rahanga' Simon Petrus. Po'ohaa' -na mohu' hi wiwi' tahi', hi tomi Simon topobago rewa kuliba.'

³³Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

³³Toe pai' kupesahui mpotuma tauna tilou mpokio' -ko. Hiaa' lompe' mpu'u nono-nu, baa' he'i-madakoe. Jadi' hewa toe lau, morumpu-makai hi rehe'i natiroi Alata'ala, doko' mpo'epe hawe'ea to nahubui-koko Alata'ala mpo'uli' -kakai."

³⁴Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

³⁴Na'uli' Petrus: "Wae lau monoto mpu'u-mi ku'inca, Alata'ala uma mpelence tauna.

³⁵But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

³⁵Hema-hema to mengkoru hi Hi'a pai' to monoa' kehi-ra, bate natarima-ra, pai' uma napoposisala ba to'apa-ra.

³⁶The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

³⁶Toi-mi kareba to naparata Alata'ala hi kai' to Yahudi, kareba to mpakanoto ohea-na bona posidaia' Alata'ala hante manusia' ma'ala jadi' lompe' nculii' hante petolo' -na Yesus Kristus. Yesus toei, Pue' hawe'ea manusia'.

³⁷That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

³⁷Tantu ni'inca moto-mi kajadia' to jadi' hobo' hi tana' to Yahudi. Pontepu'ua-na hi Galilea ka'oti-na Yohanes mponiu' tauna to medea ngkai jeko' -ra.

³⁸How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

³⁸Ni'inca wo'o tutura Yesus to Nazaret. Alata'ala mpopelihi-i pai' mpowai' -i Inoha' Tomoroli' pai' baraka'. Hiapa pomakoa' -na hi tana' to Yahudi, nababehi to lompe', pai' napaka'uri' hawe'ea tauna to nakuasai Magau' Anudaa', apa' Alata'ala mpodohei-i.

³⁹And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

³⁹Kai' tohe'i-mi to mpohilo hawe'ea to nababehi hi tana' to Yahudi duu' rata hi ngata Yerusalem. Ka'omea-na, rapatehi-i, rapaku' hi kaju parika'.

⁴⁰Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

⁴⁰Aga hi eo katolu-na, Alata'ala mpotuwu' -i nculii' pai' mpopohiloi-i hi manusia'.

⁴¹Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

⁴¹Aga uma hi hawe'ea tauna, muntu' hi kai' to napelihi ami' -mi Alata'ala jadi' sabi' -na. Ka'oti-na Yesus tuwu' nculii', nginu pai' ngkoni' moto-kai dohe-na.

⁴²And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

⁴²Nahubui-kai mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi hawe'ea tauna, pai' mposabii' Kahi'a-na mpu'u-mi to napelihi Alata'ala jadi' Topobotuhi hi hawe'ea manusia', lompe' to tuwu' -pidi lompe' to mate-mi.

⁴³To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

⁴³Hawe'ea nabi owi mpotompo'wiwi-i, ra'uli': hema-hema to mepangala' hi Yesus, jeko' -ra ra'ampungi sabana petolo' -na."

⁴⁴While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

⁴⁴Bula-na mololita-pidi Petrus, hompo-mi Inoha' Tomoroli' mpokahompoi hawe'ea tauna to mpo'epe lolita-na.

⁴⁵And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

⁴⁵Konce omea-ramo to Yahudi topepangala' hi Yesus to mpodohei Petrus ngkai Yope, apa' tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi mporata Inoha' Tomoroli' wo'o-ramo-rawo.

⁴⁶For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

⁴⁶Monoto-mi kamporata-ra Inoha' Tomoroli', apa' mololita-ra hante basa to nawai' -raka Inoha' Tomoroli', mpo'une' -une' Alata'ala. Ngkai ree, na'uli' -mi Petrus:

⁴⁷Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

⁴⁷"Hilo pe'. Tauna toera lau, mporata-ramo Inoha' Tomoroli' hibalia hewa to jadi' hi kita'. Jadi', hema-koi to daho' mpotagi-ra? Bate kana raniu' wo'o-ramo-rawo jadi' topetuku' Yesus!"

⁴⁸And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

⁴⁸Toe pai' Petrus mpohubui-ra hira' Kornelius bona raniu' mpokahangai' hanga' Yesus Kristus. Oti toe, Kornelius pai' doo-na merapi' hi Petrus bona mo'oha' -i ulu dohe-ra ba hangkuja mengi.
