10Ayan ji na uza̱ ɗom iya̱m ro pa̱ o ri. Ma ka̱ anung mpək iya̱m-nrì á na na te, uza̱ ya iya̱m ka̱ ashe alár.He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

11Uza̱ ya apaɓur bol iya̱m ro wa inan ìlukwan iga ndan izər ma re i fər i vang apambin ka̱ aranchwan pa̱ neɗən.He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

12Ɓu ya nkpaktak izhé ka̱ ashishe, ká̱ iga kpán ka̱ afu, ká̱ inyil.It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.

19UBiturus uwa ka̱ anung nkat amar ka̱ apal ishi alár va̱ ta te, aRuhu-Inan là á na pa̱, <<Onəm ma ta̱ pa̱ oshaɗən ka̱ nram ɓu.As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”

23Te uBiturus ka̱m oza̱ tar ashe nzhi ka̱. Uza̱ na atak nra óza̱. Ìpin fa kpa̱k te, uza̱ ga nzəng ka̱ oza̱. Ogənan ro ka̱ ashe aYafa oza̱ ga nzəng ka̱ na.So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.

25Ka̱ ntar ashe nzhi na uBiturus ɓa tar byet te, uKarnilus ɓa gwang na. Uza̱ ru ka̱ mbin wop na.As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.

26Te uBiturus nak na wong là á na pa̱, <<Wong, mmami unəm wà kpa wa njiɓu.>>But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

27UBiturus ka̱ nla nnap ka̱ na ɓa tar ashe te, uza̱ ya onəm ɓut pa̱ makmak.As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.

28Te uza̱ là óza̱ pa̱, <<O nyinyi ká̱ ishi wo pa̱ a yəyər pa̱ uYahudi a gwang ishi ka̱ onəm va̱ oYahudi ka̱t. Ko ngga nzhi oza̱ te, a yər na yər. Kang Inan nyám á mi chit pa̱ kang mà wór unəm pa̱ uga nnəm-jan ka̱t.He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.

29A nak te, ma re nre kà̱ mi te, n yang ka̱t. N ɗom pa̱ ń fe. Iza̱ o wór mi ka̱ yà?>>So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”

Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”

34UBiturus ɗa̱mshi izər ta̱ uza̱ là óza̱ pa̱, <<Nnandər n ya chit pa̱ Inan i tap onəm ka̱t.Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,

37O fe iya̱m va̱ fe lyanshin ka̱ ashe mbin aYahudiya a ɓan ka̱ mbin aGalili ka̱ nɗyang ka̱ apal ishi abaptisima va̱ uYohana nəm.You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:

38Iya̱m va ka̱ apal ishi aYesu Unəm ga aNazarat, ká̱ asa̱l va̱ Inan na aRuhu Nəna̱n a na ká̱ ichumchum, ka̱ nva̱ uza̱ pak inok nranggang ka̱ atak pa̱ ɗongɗong uza̱ i nəm iya̱m inəna̱n, uza̱ i tan onəm va kpaktak uShetan ka̱ nɗak oza̱. Uza̱ nəm iya̱m va̱ ta̱ ka̱kul pa̱ Inan uwa ya nzəng ka̱ na.how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

40ká̱ nnà te, Inan won ka̱ na ka̱ atak ikú ka̱ nva̱n nra pa̱ shaɗən. Uza̱ nak ma ya na ya.God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—

44UBiturus ka̱ anung nnap-nlà te, aRuhu-Nəna̱n vang ka̱ apal ishi nkpaktak oza̱ va̱ ka̱ nfe nnap-nləla.While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.

46Ka̱kul oza̱ fe oza̱ ka̱ nla nnap ka̱ achu agafak i na aɗəngchi íNan. Te uBiturus là pa̱,For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,

47<<Uda kur ndan pa̱ ma nəm abaptisima ónəm va̱ ta ka̱ ndəng yà? Ka̱kul oza̱ ka̱m imwa aRuhu-Nəna̱n chit na kpa wa njiyi.>>“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”
