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

¹And there was a certain man in Cesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a band called Italian,

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.

²pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always,

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

³he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, `Cornelius;`

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.

⁴and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, `What is it, Lord?` And he said to him, `Thy prayers and thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God,

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

⁵and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

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

⁶this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one shall speak to thee what it behoveth thee to do.`

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.

⁷And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,

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

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

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

⁹And on the morrow, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour,

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

¹⁰and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell upon him a trance,

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;

¹¹and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down upon the earth,

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

¹²in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven,

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

¹³and there came a voice unto him: `Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.`

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

¹⁴And Peter said, `Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;`

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

¹⁵and [there is] a voice again a second time unto him: `What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;`

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

¹⁶and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven.

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.

¹⁷And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, lo, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

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

¹⁸and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, doth lodge here?

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

¹⁹And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, `Lo, three men do seek thee;

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

²⁰but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them;`

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

²¹and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, `Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what [is] the cause for which ye are present?`

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."

²²And they said, `Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.`

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

²³Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him,

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

²⁴and on the morrow they did enter into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends,

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.

²⁵and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, did bow before [him];

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

²⁶and Peter raised him, saying, `Stand up; I also myself am a man;`

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

²⁷and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together.

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.

²⁸And he said unto them, `Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean;

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

²⁹therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?`

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,

³⁰And Cornelius said, `Four days ago till this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

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

³¹and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God;

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.

³²send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee;

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."

³³at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.`

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

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

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

³⁵but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;

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.

³⁶the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news — peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)

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

³⁷ye — ye have known; — the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached;

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.

³⁸Jesus who [is] from Nazareth — how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him;

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

³⁹and we — we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, — whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree.

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

⁴⁰`This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,

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.

⁴¹not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God — to us who did eat with [him], and did drink with him, after his rising out of 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.

⁴²and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead —

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

⁴³to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.`

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

⁴⁴While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word,

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

⁴⁵and those of the circumcision believing were astonished — as many as came with Peter — because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out,

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

⁴⁶for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.

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

⁴⁷Then answered Peter, `The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive — even as also we?`

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

⁴⁸he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days.
