¹Now [there was] a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],

¹Huan, Kaisaria khua ah mi khat a min Kornelia a om a; Itali pawl a chih uh, huai pawla sepaih zaheutupa ahi a,

²a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.

²Pathian limsakmi ahi a, a inkuanpihte tengteng toh Pathian laudan a siam uhi, mite kiangah thil tampi a pe jela, Pathian kiangah leng a thum gige hi.

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

³Hiai miin sun dak kuana khawng dingin manglam bangin chiantakin Pathian angel khat a kianga luta, Kornelia, chiin, a mu a.

⁴And he, fastening his eyes upon him, and being affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are gone up for a memorial before God.

⁴Huan, Korneliain amah a naen kilkela, a lau a, Toupa, bang ahia? a chi a. Huan, aman, a kiangah, Na thumnate leh na thilpiak thute theih gigena dingin Pathian maah a tungtouta.

⁵And now send men to Joppa, and fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:

⁵Tunah Joppa khua ah mi sawl inla, mi khat Simon Peter a chih uh, va pi sak in;

⁶he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side.

⁶savun bawlpa Simon kiangah a tunga, a in tuipi geiah a om, a chi a.

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

⁷Huan, angel a houpihpa a pai takin, Korneliain a sikhate laka mi nih leh a nek bawl gigete laka Pathian limsak sepaih khat a sam a,

⁸and having rehearsed all things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

⁸huan, thu tengteng a kiang ua a hilh khitin Joppa khua ah a sawlta hi.

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

⁹Huan, a jinga a pai lai un, kho kiang a tun kuan un, Peter tuh thum dingin, dak gukna khawngin, in tungah a kahtou a;

¹⁰and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance;

¹⁰Huan, a gil a hongkiala, annek a utta a; himahleh nekding a bawl lai un mengmu bangin a hongom a.

¹¹and he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth:

¹¹Huan, van kihongin, banghiam bawm, puan liantak bang, a ning lia khiha, lei a luai khiain a mu a.

¹²wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven.

¹²Huai sungah leitunga khelinei chi chih leh, gamsa leh, ganhing bokvak, tungleng vasa chi chihte a om ua.

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

¹³Huan, a kiangah awin, Peter, thou inla gou inla, ne in, a honchi a.

¹⁴But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean.

¹⁴Himahleh, Peterin, Toupa hi lou e; sianglou leh nin bangmah himhim ka ne ngeikei, a chi a.

¹⁵And a voice [came] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

¹⁵Huan awin, a nihveinain, Pathianin a hihsiangthousa nang sianglou chi ken, a chi a.

¹⁶And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven.

¹⁶Huchi bang ngenin thumvei a hongoma; huan, bawm tuh vana khaitouhin a om nawnta hi.

¹⁷Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate,

¹⁷Huan, Peterin mengmu banga a muh theisiamlou a, a buai lain, Kornelia mi sawlten Simon in a nakankheta ua.

¹⁸and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, were lodging there.

¹⁸Kongkhak bulah a nading ua, a sam ua, Simon, Peter a chih uh, huaia a tun leh tun louh a nadong uhi.

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

¹⁹Huan, Peterin mengmu banga a muh a ngaihtuah lain, Khain a kiangah, Ngai in, mi thumin a hongzong uh.

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

²⁰Huchiin, thou inla, kum inla, bangmah ginglel louin amau jui in; amau ka sawl ahi uh, a chi a.

²¹And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

²¹Huchiin Peter tuh huai mite kiangah a hoh sukta a, a kiang uah, Ngai un na zon uh ka hi; bang ahia na hongna uh? chi a.

²²And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned [of God] by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.

²²Huan, amau, Angel siangthou khatin, Kornelia sepaih zaheutupa, mi diktak, Pathian laudansiam, Juda nam tengteng laka mi hoih kiangah, na thugen a jakna din, a in ah nangmah sam dingin, a hih hi, a chi ua.

²³So he called them in and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

²³Huchiin mite tuh a sam luta, a giaksakta hi. Huan, a jingin Peter a thou a, a kiang uah a paia, Joppa khuaa mi unau kuate hiam leng a kiang uah a pai sam uhi.

²⁴And on the morrow they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and his near friends.

²⁴Huan, a jing nawnin Kaisaria khua ah a lutta ua. Huan, Korneliain, a sanggamte leh a lawm deihpente samkhawmin, amau a na ngak nilouh a.

²⁵And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

²⁵Huan, Peter a honglut dek laitakin Korneliain a nadawna, a khebula khupbohin, Pathian chibai buk bangin a buk a.

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

²⁶Himahleh, Peterin amah a kaithou a, ding in, kei leng mihing ka hi, a chi a.

²⁷And as he talked with him, he went in, and findeth many come together:

²⁷Huan, a kiangah thu gen kawmin a luta, mi tampi omkhawm a vamu hi.

²⁸and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and [yet] unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean:

²⁸Huan, a kiang uah, Juda mi nam dang toh kithuah leh pai a sianlouh dan noun a thei ua; himahleh, kuamah sianglou leh nin ka chih ding ahi kei chih Pathianin a hontheisak ahi.

²⁹wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me.

²⁹Huaijiakin na hongsap takin sellouin ka hongpai ahi. Huchiin ka hondong ahi, bangdia honsam na hi ua le? a chi a.

³⁰And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,

³⁰Huan, Korneliain, Ni li ahita, tu hun bangtanin, ka in ah, dak kuana hun thumna ah ka thuma; huan, ngai in, puan vaktak silhin mi khat ka maah a hong dinga,

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

³¹Kornelia, na thumna jakin a omta, mi kianga na thilpiakte leng Pathianin a theigige hi.

³²Send therefore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.

³²Huaijiakin, Joppa khua ah mi sawl inla, Simon, Peter a chih uh, na kiangah samin; amah tuh tuipi gei ah savun bawlpa Simon ina tungahi, a chi a.

³³Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord.

³³Huaijiakin na kiangah mi ka honsawl pah ahi; na hong a hoih ahi. Huchiin Toupan thu a honpiak peuhmah thei dingin tun ah Pathian mitmuhin i vek un hiaiah i om hi, a chi a.

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

³⁴Huan, Peterin a gena, Pathianin mi deihsak tuam a neikei chih, diktakin ka thei hi;

³⁵but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.

³⁵ahihhangin, nam chih lakah kuapeuh amah kihtakdansiama, diktaka gamta peuhmah, a pahtak mi ahi naknak uhi.

³⁶The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all.) --

³⁶Aman tuh khamuanna Tanchin Hoih Jesu Kris kama genin, Israel suante kiangah thu a khaka (Jesu tuh mi tengteng Toupa ahi a),

³⁷that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

³⁷Johanin a tangkou pihpih baptisma nungin, thu, Galili gam akipan a hongthang pana, Judia gam tengteng ah a thangsuaka, noumau leng na thei uhi;

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

³⁸Nazaret Jesu tungtang thu, huchia Pathianin amah Kha Siangthou leh thilhihtheihna a a vuh dan, amah tuh mi tunga hih hoih leh diabol gawt tengteng hihdamin a vialvak vaka, Pathian a kianga a om jiakin.

³⁹And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree.

³⁹Judate gamah leh Jerusalem khua a a thilhih tengteng theihpih te ka hi uhi, amah lah sing dawnah khaiin a hihlumta ua.

⁴⁰Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,

⁴⁰Pathianin nithum niin a kaithou nawna, chiantakin a kitheisak hi,

⁴¹not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, [even] to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

⁴¹ahihhangin mi tengteng kiangah ahi keia, Pathianin theihpih dia a seh kholhte kiang kia ah ahi koute, misi lak akipan a thohnawn nunga a kianga nea dawnte kiangah.

⁴²And he charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he who is ordained of God [to be] the Judge of the living and the dead.

⁴²Amah tuh misi leh mihingte tunga Vaihawmpa dia Pathian seh ahi chih, mi kianga tangkoupih leh theisak dingin Pathianin thu a honpia hi.

⁴³To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins.

⁴³Kuapeuhmah amah gingta tuh a min jiakin khelhnate ngaihdamin a om ding uh chih hiai a tanchin tuh jawlnei tengtengin a natheihsaksak uh ahi, a chi a.

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

⁴⁴Huan, Peterin huai thu a gen laitakin thu zate tengteng tungah Kha Siangthou a hongtungta hi.

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

⁴⁵Huan, Zeksumte laka a gingtate Peter honjui peuhmahin Kha Siangthou piak Jentelte tungah leng buak ahih jiakin lamdang a sa mahmah uhi.

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

⁴⁶Pau theihlouha thu genin Pathian phatin a za ngal ua.

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

⁴⁷Huan, Peterin a phuanga, hiai mite, eimah banga Kha Siangthou tang sam, baptis nadingin tuizat kuaman a kham thei dia hia? a chi a.Huchiin, Jesu Kris mina baptisma tan ding thu a pia a. Huan khitin ni bangzah hiam tam dingin a khou uh.

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

⁴⁸Huchiin, Jesu Kris mina baptisma tan ding thu a pia a. Huan khitin ni bangzah hiam tam dingin a khou uh.
