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

¹Sas ando Caesarea iek manush kai busholas Cornelius, wo sas baro mashkar le Romanonge ketani, mothonas lenge le ketani le Italianonge.

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

²Kodo manush pachalaspe ando Del, ai pachalas o mui le Devlesko ai vi leski familia, wo zhutilas but le chorhe manushen, ai rhugilaspe ka Del sagda.

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.

³Kal trin pala miazutso dikhlia iazhno ek vizion, ek angelo le Devlesko avilo leste ando kher, ai mothol leske, "Cornelius."

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.

⁴Ai dikhlia pe leste darasa, ai phendia, "So si, Devla?" Ai o angelo phendia leske, "O Del ashundia che rhugimata ai dikhlia ke zhutisardian le chorhen ai diape goji pe tute.

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

⁵Trade akana manushen ando Joppa te anen le Simonos kai akharel les Petri.

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

⁶Wo beshel le manushensa kai bushol Simon, wo kerel buchi morchaki, ai lesko kher pashai maria; wo phenel tuke so te keres."

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;

⁷Kana o angelo kai dia lesa duma gelotar, o Cornelius akhardia duie slugen, ai ek ketana kai kerelas leski buchi ai kai pachalaspe ando Del.

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

⁸Ai kana phendia lenge so kerdilia, tradia le ando Joppa.

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:

⁹Pe terharin, sar zhanas pa drom, ai sar pashonas pasha foro, o Petri anklisto po kher kal desh u dui te rhugilpe.

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

¹⁰Bokhailo, ai mangelas te xal, zhi kai lasharenas leske te xal, dikhlia ek vizion.

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:

¹¹Dikhlia o cheri sar phuterdilo, ai vari so hulelas tele, sar ek bari selia kai sas phangli katar le shtar koltsuria, kai hulelas ai bufliolas pe phuv;

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

¹²Ai andre sas but failuria zhigeni shtar punrhensa, ai sapa, shuporli (chorhe zhigeni), ai but fialuria chiriklia.

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

¹³Ai ek glaso mothol leske, Wushti, Petri, Mudar, ai xa,"

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

¹⁴Numa o Petri phendia, "Nichi, Devla, ke shoxar chi xalem vari so kai si bi vuzho vai marime."

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

¹⁵Ai o glaso mai phendia leske, "So O Del vuzhardo, na dikh tu sar te avino marime."

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

¹⁶Ai o trio data phendia leske, ai strazo kodola diela anklisti opre ando cheri.

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,

¹⁷O Petri delaspe goji so znachil kodia vizion kai dikhlia, eta le trin manush kai sas tradine katar o Cornelius phushenas te arakhen kai sas o kher le Simonosko, ai won vorta angla o wudar sas.

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

¹⁸Ai phushle zurales te sas kotse kai beshel o Simon kai akharen les Petri.

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

¹⁹O Petri delaspe goji pe vizion, ai O Swunto Duxo phendia leske, "Ashun, si katse trin manush kai roden tu.

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

²⁰Wushti opre, ai huli tele ai zha lensa, ke me tradem le.

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

²¹O Petri hulisto tele ai phendia kodole manushenge kai avile katar o Cornelius, "Me sim kodo kai roden, ai phenen lenge sostar avilian?"

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.

²²Won phenen, "O Cornelius tradia ame, o baro ketanengo, kodo manush lasholo, rhugilpe ka Del, ai sa le Zhiduvuria lazhan lestar, ek angelo le Devlesko phendia leske te ingeras tu leste, te ashunel so si tu te mothos leske."

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.

²³O Petri phendia lenge te aven andre, ai te beshen kodia riat.Pe terharin gelotar lensa, uni andal phral le Joppeske gele lensa.

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

²⁴Aresle ando Caesarea pe terharin, o Cornelius azhukerelas le peske niamonsa ai peske vortachensa.

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

²⁵Sar delas te del andre o Petri ando kher, o Cornelius gelo angla leste, ai shudiape ka leske punrhe, ai bandilo tele pe phuv angle leste.

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

²⁶Numa o Petri vazdia les opre ai phendia, "Wushti opre, ke i me sim manush."

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

²⁷Sar divinilas lesa, dine ando kher, kotse arakhlia bute manushen.

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:

²⁸Ai phendia lenge, "Zhanen, nai slobodo te phirel ieke streinosa vai te zhal leste; numa O Del sikadia mange te na dikhav chi ieke manush sar marime vai bi vuzho.

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

²⁹Anda kodia kana akhardian ma, avilem vi te mothav vari so, numa manglemas te zhanav sostar kerdian ma te avav?"

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,

³⁰O Cornelius phendia, "De shtar dies palpale kana postivas; kal trin pala miazutso rhugivas ma ando murho kher, ai eta, ek manush kai sas pe leste tsalia kai strefianas avilo angla mande,

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

³¹ai phendia, "Cornelius, O Del ashundia cho rhugimos, ai diape goji ka mishtimos kai kerdian le chorhenge.

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.

³²Trade, vari kas ando Joppa, ai an le Simonos, kai akharen les Petri; wo beshel ando kher le Simonosko kai kerel buchi morchaki pashai maria.

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.

³³Wo, kana avela, del duma tuke. Strazo tradem vari kas karing tute, ai mishto kerdian kai avilian. Akana savorhe sam angla Del, te ashunas so godi O Del phendia tuke te phenes amenge."

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

³⁴Antunchi o Petri phendia, "Chachimasa akana zhanav ke O Del nai leske mai drago iek manush de sar aver.

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

³⁵Numa swako manush ande vari savi vitsa te avela, ai pachala le Devlesko mui, ai kerel so si vorta.

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

³⁶Drago lo le Devleske. Tradia e vorba kal shave le Zhidovonge, ai andia lenge e pacha katar O Jesus Kristo, kai so O Del savorhenge.

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

³⁷Zhanen so kerdilia ande sa e Judea, ai kai kerde ande Galilee, mai anglal pala bolimos kai phendia o Iovano.

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.

³⁸Zhanen sar O Del shordia pesko Swunto Duxo ai peski putiera po Jesus andai Nazareth, kai zhalas than thanestar ai kerelas mishtimos, ai sastiarelas kodolen kai sas telai putiera le bengeske; ke O Del lesa sas.

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.

³⁹Ame sam marturia ande sa godi kerdia ando them le Zhidovon, ai ande Jerusalem; mudarde les kana karfosarde les po trushul.

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

⁴⁰Numa O Del zhuvindisardia les o trito dies, ai manglia te sikadiol.

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.

⁴¹Na sa le manushenge, numa le marturia kai sas alome mai anglal katar O Del, ame kai xaliam ai piliam lesa palal o zhuvindimos andal mule.

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.

⁴²Ai O Kristo dia ame ordina te das duma pa Del le narodoske, ai te mothas ke wo si kai sas thodino katar O Del te avel kritsinitori pel zhuvinde ai pal mule.

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

⁴³Sa le profeturia mothon pa leste, ke kon godi pachalpe anda leste, avena lenge bezexa iertime ando lesko anav."

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

⁴⁴Sar o Petri divinilas, O Swunto Duxo hulisto pe sa kodola kai ashunenas kodo divano.

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.

⁴⁵Ai le shave le Devleske kai avile sas le Petresa chudisaile, ke dikhle kai O Swunto Duxo hulisto vi pe le Nai Zhiduvuria.

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

⁴⁶Ke ashunenas len sar denas duma anda kolaver shiba, ai naisinas le Devles. Antunchi o Petri phendia,

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

⁴⁷"Sai aterdiaras kadale manushen te aven bolde ando pai. Akana kai hulisto O Swunto Duxo pe lende sar amende?

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

⁴⁸Ai dia ordina te bolen le ando anav le Devlesko." Ai porme mangle lestar te beshel lensa trin shtar dies.
