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

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 who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.

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.

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!”

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.” ”

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹³A voice came 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 or unclean.”

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

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

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

¹⁶This was done three times, and immediately 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 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,

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, was lodging there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers 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.

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

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

²⁵When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped 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 am also a man.”

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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,

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 said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered 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 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.’

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.

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.”

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."

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

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

³⁵but in every nation he who fears him and works 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 to the children of Israel, preaching good news 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.

³⁷you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

⁴³All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will 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 was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.

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

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.

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 speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

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

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

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

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

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