¹Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,

¹Quicuan jun li cuînk aran Cesarea aj Cornelio xc'aba'. A'an li nataklan sa' xbêneb jun ch'ûtal chi soldado aj Italia neque'xye re.

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.

²Li cuînk a'an quixxucua ru li Dios jo'queb ajcui' chixjunileb li cuanqueb sa' li rochoch. Châbil xna'leb ut junelic natijoc chiru li Dios ut junelic naxtenk'aheb li neba'.

³At about the ninth hour of the day 3:00 PM , he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, “Cornelius!”

³Sa' jun li cutan sa' oxib ôr tana re ecuu laj Cornelio quiril sa' visión nak qui-oc jun li ángel riq'uin ut quixye re: -At Cornelio, chan.

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.

⁴Laj Cornelio tâxucuak nak quiril li ángel ut quixye: -C'a'ru tâcuaj tinbânu, Kâcua'.- Li ángel quixye: -Li Dios xrabi lâ tij. Nacuulac chiru li c'a'ru nacabânu re xtenk'anquileb li neba'.

⁵Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is surnamed Peter.

⁵Anakcuan tinye âcue takla cuib oxibakeb li cuînk aran Jope chixc'ambal chak li cuînk aj Simón xc'aba'. Aj Pedro nayeman ajcui' re.

⁶He lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. TR adds “This one will tell you what it is necessary for you to do.” ”

⁶A'an tâyehok âcue c'a'ru us tâbânu. A'an yô chi hilânc sa' rochoch laj Simón laj yîbom tz'ûm. Li rochoch cuan chire li palau, chan li ángel.

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.

⁷Nak ac x-el li ángel riq'uin, laj Cornelio quixbok cuib lix môs cuînk ut quixbok ajcui' jun reheb lix soldado li naxxucua ru li Dios.

⁸Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

⁸Quixserak'i reheb chixjunileb li quiyehe' re xban li ángel ut quixtaklaheb Jope re nak te'xc'am chak laj Pedro.

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.

⁹Cuulajak chic ac cuulaqueb na re sa' li tenamit Jope nak laj Pedro quitake' sa' xca' tasal li cab chi tijoc. Ca'ch'in na chic mâ cua'leb.

¹⁰He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.

¹⁰Quichal xtz'ocajic ut quiraj raj ru cua'ac. Abanan toj yôqueb chixyîbanquil lix tzacaêmk. Nak toj yô chiroybeninquil lix tzacaêmk, quiril jun li visión.

¹¹He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,

¹¹Quiril nak teto li choxa ut chanchan jun nimla saki t'icr yô chak chi cubec. Pixbil sa' xcâ pac'alil lix xuc li t'icr ut yô chak chi cubec sa' ruchich'och'.

¹²in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.

¹²Chi sa' li t'icr a'an cuanqueb chak nabal pây ru li xul xcomoneb li neque'cuan sa' ruchich'och'. Cuanqueb cuan cuib rokeb ut cuib ruk', cuanqueb xcomoneb li c'anti' ut cuanqueb xcomoneb li xul li neque'rupupic chiru choxa.

¹³A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”

¹³Ut quirabi jun xyâb cux quixye re: -At Pedro, chap âcue li xul a'in. Tâcamsi ut tâtiu, chan.

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

¹⁴Laj Pedro quixye: -Inc'a', Kâcua'. Mâ jun sut xintzaca c'a'ak re ru li naxye sa' li chak'rab nak inc'a' us xtzacanquil, chan.

¹⁵A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”

¹⁵Ut quixye cui'chic li yô chi âtinac: -Lâat inc'a' naru nacac'oxla nak inc'a' us tâtzaca li c'a'ru xye li Dios nak us tâtzaca, chan.

¹⁶This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.

¹⁶Oxib sut quiyehe' re chi jo'can ut chirix a'an quixoque li nimla t'icr a'an ut quic'ame' cui'chic sa' choxa.

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,

¹⁷Laj Pedro toj yô ajcui' chixc'oxlanquil c'a'ru xyâlal li quic'utbesîc chiru nak que'cuulac li cuînk li que'taklâc xban laj Cornelio. Cuanqueb chire li cab ut yôqueb chixpatz'bal bar cuan li rochoch laj Simón.

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

¹⁸Que'xpatz' ma aran cuan chi hilânc laj Simón li neque'xye aj Pedro re.

¹⁹While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three Reading from TR and NU. MT omits “three” men seek you.

¹⁹Laj Pedro toj yô ajcui' chixc'oxlanquil c'a'ru xyâlal li visión li quiril nak li Santil Musik'ej quixye re: -Oxib li cuînk xe'chal châsic'bal.

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

²⁰Ayu, cuben ut âtinaheb chak. Matc'oxlac chi xic chirixeb xban nak lâin xintaklan chak reheb, chan.

²¹Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”

²¹Jo'can nak laj Pedro quicube ut quixye reheb li cuînk: -Cue'quin. Lâin laj Simón Pedro li niquinêsic'. ¿C'a'ru xc'amoc chak êre toj arin ut c'a'ru têraj cuiq'uin? chan.

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.”

²²Eb a'an que'xye: -Laj Cornelio li capitán xtaklan chak ke. A'an jun cuînk tîc xch'ôl ut naxxucua ru li Dios. Chixjunileb laj judío neque'xq'ue sa' xnak' ruheb. Jun x-ángel li Dios quixc'utbesi rib chiru ut quixye re nak tatxbok sa' rochoch re nak târûk târabi li c'a'ru tâye re, chanqueb re.

²³So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.

²³Laj Pedro quirocsiheb ut que'xnumsi li k'ojyîn sa' li cab a'an. Sa' li cutan jun chic laj Pedro cô chirixeb. Ut cuib oxib laj pâbanel re Jope que'côeb chirix.

²⁴On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.

²⁴Jo' cuulajak chic que'cuulac Cesarea ut laj Cornelio yô chiroybeninquileb rochbeneb li rech'alal ut eb li tz'akal ramîg li quixbok riq'uin.

²⁵When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.

²⁵Nak laj Pedro quicuulac sa' li rochoch, laj Cornelio qui-el chixc'ulbal. Quixcuik'ib rib chiru re xlok'oninquil.

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

²⁶Abanan laj Pedro quixye re: -Cuaclin. Minâlok'oni lâin xban nak lâin yal cuînkin jo' lâat, chan.

²⁷As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

²⁷Yô chi âtinac riq'uin laj Cornelio nak yôqueb chi oc sa' li cab. Nak que'oc, que'xtau nabaleb ac ch'utch'ûqueb sa' li cab.

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.

²⁸Laj Pedro quixye reheb: -Lâex nequenau nak lix chak'rabeb laj judío naxye nak inc'a' naru takajunaji kib riq'uineb li mâcua'eb aj judío chi moco târûk to-oc sa' rochocheb. Abanan xc'ut chicuu li Kâcua' Dios nak mâ jun li cristian tintz'ektâna chi moco tinye nak inc'a' us âtinac riq'uineb.

²⁹Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

²⁹Jo'can nak inc'a' xink'etk'eti cuib chi châlc nak xine'xbok chak. Ye cue c'a'ut nak xatakla inbokbal, chan.

³⁰Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour, and at the ninth hour, 3:00 P. M. I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

³⁰Quichak'oc laj Cornelio ut quixye: -Câhib cutan anakcuan jo'ca'in ajcui' hônal nak yôquin chi ayunic ut chi tijoc sa' li cuochoch. Oxib ôr re ecuu quixc'utbesi rib chicuu jun li cuînk nalemtz'un li rak'.

³¹and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.

³¹Quixye cue, "At Cornelio, li Dios quirabi lâ tij. Nacuulac chiru li c'a'ru nacabânu re xtenk'anquileb li neba'.

³²Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’

³²Takla xc'ambal laj Simón Pedro li cuan aran Jope. Yô chi hilânc sa' li rochoch laj Simón laj yîbom tz'ûm. Li rochoch a'an cuan chire li palau. Nak tâc'ulûnk laj Pedro, tixch'olob châcuu lix yâlal," chan cue li ángel.

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.”

³³Jo'can nak xintakla âc'ambal sa' junpât. Ut lâat xabânu usilal ke. Xatc'ulun. Anakcuan ut chikajunilo cuanco arin chiru li Dios chirabinquil chixjunil li c'a'ru tâye ke li xye chak âcue li Dios, chan laj Cornelio re laj Pedro.

³⁴Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

³⁴Quixtiquib âtinac laj Pedro ut quixye: -Anakcuan xinq'ue retal chi tz'akal nak li Dios inc'a' naxsic' ru li ani naxra.

³⁵but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

³⁵Li ani naxxucua ru li Dios ut naxbânu li tîquilal a' yal bar xtenamit, li jun a'an narahe' xban li Dios.

³⁶The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—

³⁶Lâex nequenau nak li Dios quixtakla resil li colba-ib reheb laj Israel. Li colba-ib, a'an li naq'uehoc tuktûquil usilal sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo. Ut li Jesucristo, a'an li Kâcua', ut nim xcuanquil sa' xbên chixjunil.

³⁷you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

³⁷Lâex nequenau c'a'ru quic'ulman sa' chixjunil li tenamit Judea. Quiticla aran Galilea nak ac xch'olobâc resil li cubi ha' xban laj Juan.

³⁸even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him 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.

³⁸Ac êrabiom resil li Jesucristo aj Nazaret. Li Dios quixq'ue li Santil Musik'ej re, ut quixq'ue xcuanquil. A'an quibêc yalak bar chixbânunquil li usilal ut chixq'uirtesinquileb li tacuasinbileb xban laj tza xban nak li Dios cuan riq'uin.

³⁹We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they also TR omits “also” killed, hanging him on a tree.

³⁹Lâo quikil riq'uin ku chixjunil li c'a'ru quixbânu li Jesús aran Judea ut Jerusalén. Abanan eb a'an que'xcamsi chiru cruz.

⁴⁰God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,

⁴⁰Ut li Dios quixcuaclesi cui'chic chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak sa' rox li cutan. Ut mokon li Jesús quixc'utbesi rib chiku.

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.

⁴¹Inc'a' quixc'utbesi rib chiruheb chixjunileb. Ca'aj cui' chiruheb li quisiq'ue' ruheb junxil xban li Dios. Lâo cocua'ac ut co-uc'ac riq'uin nak ac xcuacli cui'chic chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak.

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.

⁴²Ut coxtakla chixch'olobanquil xyâlal ut chixjulticanquil chiruheb li tenamit nak a'an q'uebil xban li Dios chi rakoc âtin sa' xbêneb chixjunileb, li yo'yôqueb jo' ajcui' li camenakeb.

⁴³All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”

⁴³A'an a'in li Jesús li que'xye chak resil chixjunileb li profeta junxil. Que'xye nak sa' xc'aba' a'an tâcuyek' xmâqueb chixjunileb li neque'pâban re.

⁴⁴While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.

⁴⁴Toj yô ajcui' chi âtinac laj Pedro nak que'xc'ul li Santil Musik'ej chixjunileb li yôqueb chi abînc re li râtin li Dios li yô chixyebal.

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.

⁴⁵Eb laj pâbanel aj judío, li que'chal chirix laj Pedro, que'sach xch'ôl chirilbal nak li Dios quixq'ue li Santil Musik'ej reheb li mâcua'eb aj judío. Gentiles nayeman ajcui' reheb.

⁴⁶For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

⁴⁶Que'rabi nak yôqueb chi âtinac sa' jalan âtinobâl ut yôqueb chixnimanquil ru li Dios.

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

⁴⁷Ut laj Pedro quixye: -¿Ma cuan ta bi' junak inc'a' tâajok nak te'cubek' xha'eb a'in li xe'c'uluc re li Santil Musik'ej, jo' nak xkac'ul lâo? chan.Ut quixtakla xcubsinquil xha'eb sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo. Ut eb a'an que'xtz'âma chiru laj Pedro nak tâcanâk cuib oxibak cutan chic riq'uineb.

⁴⁸He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

⁴⁸Ut quixtakla xcubsinquil xha'eb sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo. Ut eb a'an que'xtz'âma chiru laj Pedro nak tâcanâk cuib oxibak cutan chic riq'uineb.
