Skutky Apoštolů 10
1 Muž pak nějaký byl v Cesarii, jménem Kornelius, setník, z zástupu, kterýž sloul Vlaský,
[There was] a man [who lived] in Caesarea [city] whose name was Cornelius. He was an officer who commanded 100 men in a large group of [Roman] soldiers from Italy.
2 Nábožný a bohobojný se vším domem svým, čině almužny mnohé lidu,
He always tried to do what would please God; he and his entire household [MTY] [were non-Jews who] habitually worshipped God. He sometimes gave money to help poor [Jewish] people, and he prayed to God regularly.
3 A modle se Bohu vždycky. Ten viděl u vidění zřetelně, jako v hodinu devátou na den, anděla Božího, an všel k němu, a řekl jemu: Kornéli.
[One day] at about three o’clock in the afternoon [Cornelius saw] a vision. He clearly saw an angel whom God [had sent]. The angel came into [his room] and said to him, “Cornelius!”
4 A on pilně popatřil naň, a zstrašiv se, řekl: Co chceš, Pane? I řekl jemu: Modlitby tvé a almužny tvé vstoupily na pamět před tváří Boží.
Cornelius stared at the angel and became terrified. Then he asked [fearfully], “Sir, what do you [(sg)] want?” The angel answered him, “You [(sg)] have pleased God because you have been praying [regularly to him] and you often give money to [help] poor people. [Those things have been] like a sacrifice [to God].
5 Protož nyní pošli muže některé do Joppen, a povolej Šimona, kterýž má příjmí Petr.
So, now command some men to go to Joppa and [tell them to] bring back a man named Simon whose other name is Peter.
6 Tenť hospodu má u nějakého Šimona koželuha, kterýž má dům u moře. Onť poví tobě, co bys měl činiti.
He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
7 A když odšel anděl, kterýž mluvil Korneliovi, zavolal dvou služebníků svých, a rytíře pobožného z těch, kteříž vždycky při něm byli,
When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had gone, Cornelius summoned two of his household servants and a soldier who served him, one who also worshipped God.
8 A pověděv jim všecko to, poslal je do Joppen.
He explained to them everything [that the angel had said. Then] he told them to go to Joppa [to ask Peter to come to Caesarea].
9 Nazejtří pak, když oni šli a přibližovali se k městu, všel Petr nahoru, aby se modlil, v hodinu šestou.
About noon the next day those [three men] were traveling [along the road] and were coming near [Joppa. As they were approaching Joppa], Peter went up on the [flat] housetop to pray.
10 A potom velice zlačněv, chtěl pojísti. Když pak oni strojili, připadlo na něj mysli vytržení.
He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
11 I uzřel nebe otevřené a sstupující k sobě nádobu jakous jako prostěradlo veliké, za čtyři rohy uvázané, ano se spouští na zem,
(He saw heaven open/He saw an opening in the sky) and something like a large sheet was being lowered [to the ground]. [It was tied at] its four corners [with ropes].
12 Na němž byla všeliká zemská hovada čtvernohá, a zvířata, a zeměplazové, i ptactvo nebeské.
Inside the sheet were all kinds of creatures. [These included animals and birds that the Mosaic laws forbade Jews to eat]. Some had four feet, others scurried across the ground, and others were wild birds.
13 I stal se hlas k němu: Vstaň, Petře, bij a jez.
Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
14 I řekl Petr: Nikoli, Pane, nebť jsem nikdy nejedl nic obecného anebo nečistého.
But Peter replied, “Lord, surely you [(sg)] do not [really want me to do that]! I have never eaten any [meat] that [our Jewish law says] is unacceptable to God or [something that we(exc)] must not eat!”
15 Tedy opět po druhé stal se hlas k němu: Cožť jest Bůh očistil, neměj ty toho za nečisté.
[Then Peter heard] [MTY] God talk to him a second time. He said, “[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!”
16 A to se stalo po třikrát. I vzato jest zase prostěradlo do nebe.
[This happened] three [times, so Peter knew that he had to think carefully about what it might mean]. Immediately [after God had said that the third time], ([the] sheet [with the animals and birds] was the pulled back into heaven/[someone] pulled the sheet [with the animals and birds] up into the sky again).
17 A když Petr sám u sebe rozjímal, co by znamenalo vidění to, kteréž viděl, aj muži ti, kteříž posláni byli od Kornelia, ptajíce se na dům Šimonův, stáli přede dveřmi.
While Peter was trying to understand what that vision meant, the men who had been sent by Cornelius {whom Cornelius had sent} [arrived in Joppa. They asked people how to get to] Simon’s house. [So they found his house] and were standing outside the gate.
18 A zavolavše kohosi, tázali se: Má-li zde hospodu Šimon, kterýž má příjmí Petr?
They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
19 A když Petr přemyšloval o tom vidění, řekl jemu Duch: Aj, muži tři hledají tebe.
While Peter was still trying to understand [what] the vision [meant], [God’s] Spirit said to him, “Three men [are here who] want to see you.
20 Protož vstana, sejdi dolů a jdi s nimi, nic nepochybuje; neboť jsem já je poslal.
So get up and go downstairs and go with them! Do not think that you [(sg)] should not go with them [because of their being non-Jews], because I have sent them [here]!”
21 Tedy sšed Petr k mužům, jenž posláni byli k němu od Kornelia, řekl: Aj, jáť jsem ten, kteréhož hledáte. Jaká jest příčina, pro niž jste přišli?
So Peter went down to the men and said to them, “[Greetings!] I am [the man] you are looking for. Why have you come?”
22 Oni pak řekli: Kornelius setník, muž spravedlivý a bohabojící, i svědectví dobré mající ode všeho národu Židovského, u vidění napomenut jest od anděla svatého, aby povolal tebe do domu svého a slyšel řeč od tebe.
One of them replied, “Cornelius, who is a [Roman] army officer, [sent us here]. He is a righteous man who worships God, and all of the Jewish people [HYP] [who know about him] say that he is a very good man. An angel (who was sent from God/whom God sent) said to him, ‘Tell some men to [go to Joppa to see Simon Peter and] bring him here, so that you [(sg)] can hear what he has to say.’”
23 Tedy zavolav jich do domu, přijal je do hospody. Druhého pak dne Petr šel s nimi, a někteří bratří z Joppen šli s ním.
So Peter [said that he would go with them, and then he] invited them into [the house] and told them that they could stay [there that night]. Acts 10:23b-26 The next day Peter got ready and went with the men. Several of the believers from Joppa went with him.
24 A nazejtří přišli do Cesaree. Kornelius pak očekával jich, svolav příbuzné své a přátely blízké.
The day after that, they arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them. He had also invited his relatives and close friends [to come to his house, so they were there, too].
25 I stalo se, když vcházel Petr, vyšel proti němu Kornelius, a padna k nohám jeho, klaněl se mu.
When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
26 Ale Petr pozdvihl ho, řka: Vstaň, všakť i já také člověk jsem.
But Peter [grasped Cornelius by the hand and] lifted him to his feet. He said, “Stand up! [Do not revere/worship me] I myself am only human, [like you]!”
27 A rozmlouvaje s ním, všel do domu, a nalezl mnoho těch, kteříž se byli sešli.
While he was talking to Cornelius, Peter [and the others] entered [a large room inside the house]. Peter saw that many people had gathered together [there].
28 I řekl k nim: Vy víte, že neslušné jest muži Židu připojiti se aneb přistoupiti k cizozemci, ale mně ukázal Bůh, abych žádného člověka nepravil obecným neb nečistým býti.
Then Peter said to them, “You all know that any [of us] Jews think we are disobeying [our Jewish] laws if we [(exc)] associate with a non-Jewish person or [if we even] visit him. However, God has shown me [in a vision] that I should not say about anyone that God will not accept him.
29 Protož bez odporu přišel jsem, povolán jsa. I ptám se vás, pro kterou příčinu poslali jste pro mne?
So when you sent [some men] to ask me to come [here], I came [right away. I] did not say that I could not go [with non-Jewish people. So, please tell me], why have you asked me to come [here]?”
30 A Kornelius řekl: Přede čtyřmi dny postil jsem se až do této hodiny, a v hodinu devátou modlil jsem se v domu svém. A aj, postavil se přede mnou muž v rouše bělostkvoucím,
Cornelius replied, “About this time four days ago I was praying [to God] in my house, [as I regularly do] at three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man whose clothes [shone] brightly stood in front of me,
31 A řekl: Kornéli, uslyšánať jest modlitba tvá a almužny tvé jsouť v paměti před tváří Boží.
and said, ‘Cornelius, when you [(sg)] have prayed, you have been heard by God {God has heard [when] you [(sg)] have prayed [to him]}. He has also noticed that you have [often] given money to [help] poor people, [and he is pleased with that].
32 Protož pošli do Joppen a povolej Šimona, kterýž slove Petr. Tenť má hospodu v domu Šimona koželuha u moře; on přijda, bude mluviti tobě.
So now, send [messengers to go] to Joppa, [in order] to ask Simon whose other name is Peter to come [here]. He is staying near the ocean in a house that belongs to [another] man named Simon, who makes leather. [When Simon Peter comes, he will tell you a message from God].’
33 Já pak hned jsem poslal k tobě, a ty jsi dobře učinil, žes přišel. Nyní tedy my všickni před obličejem Božím hotovi jsme slyšeti všecko, což jest koli přikázáno tobě od Boha.
So I immediately sent [some men who asked] you [(sg) to come here], and I [certainly] thank you for coming. Now we [(exc)] all are gathered [here, knowing that] God is with us, in order to hear all the things that the Lord [God] has commanded you [to say. So please speak to us].”
34 Tedy Petr otevřev ústa, řekl: V pravdě jsem shledal, že Bůh není přijimač osob.
So Peter began to speak [MTY] to them. He said, “[Now] I understand that it is true that God does not favor only certain groups [of people].
35 Ale v každém národu, kdož se ho bojí a činí spravedlnost, příjemný jest jemu;
Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
36 Jakž to oznámil synům Izraelským, zvěstuje pokoj skrze Ježíše Krista, jenž jest Pánem všeho.
[You know] the message that God sent to [us] Israelis. [He] proclaimed [to us the good news that he] would cause [people] to have peace [with him] because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. This [Jesus is Lord not only over us Israelis. He] is [also the] Lord [who rules] over all [people].
37 O čemž i vy sami víte, co se dálo po všem Židovstvu, počna od Galilee, po křtu, kterýž kázal Jan:
You know what [he] did throughout the land of Judea, beginning in Galilee. He began [to do those things] after John had been proclaiming [to people that they should turn away from their sinful behavior before] he baptized them.
38 Kterak Ježíše od Nazaréta pomazal Bůh Duchem svatým a mocí; kterýžto chodil, dobře čině, a uzdravuje všecky posedlé od ďábla; nebo Bůh s ním byl.
You know that God gave [MTY] his Holy Spirit to Jesus, [the Man] from Nazareth [town], and gave him the power [to do miracles. You also know] how Jesus went to many places, always doing good deeds and healing [people. Specifically], he was continually healing all the people whom the devil was causing to suffer. [Jesus was able to do those things] because God was always helping him.”
39 A my jsme svědkové všeho toho, což jest činil v krajině Judské a v Jeruzalémě. Kteréhožto zamordovali jsou, pověsivše na dřevě.
“We [apostles] tell people about all the things that [we saw Jesus] do in Jerusalem and in the [rest of] Israel. [The leaders in Jerusalem] had him killed by being nailed to a cross.
40 Toho Bůh vzkřísil třetího dne, a způsobil to, aby zjeven byl,
However, God caused him to become alive again on the third day [after he had died]. God [also] enabled [some of us(exc)] to see him [so that we would know that he was alive again].
41 Ne všemu lidu, ale svědkům prve k tomu zřízeným od Boha, nám, kteříž jsme s ním jedli a pili po jeho z mrtvých vstání.
God [did] not [let] all the [Jewish] people see him. Instead, he had chosen us [apostles] beforehand to see [Jesus after he became alive again], and to tell others [about him]. We [apostles are the people] who ate meals with him (after he had become alive [again]/after he had risen from the dead).
42 A přikázal nám kázati lidu a svědčiti, že on jest ten ustanovený od Boha soudce živých i mrtvých.
God commanded us to preach to the people and tell them that Jesus is the one whom he has appointed to judge [everyone some day. He will judge all] those who will [still] be living and all those who will have died [by that time].
43 Jemuť všickni proroci svědectví vydávají, že odpuštění hříchů vezme skrze jméno jeho všeliký, kdožkoli uvěřil by v něho.
All of the prophets [who wrote about the Messiah long ago] told [people] about him. [They wrote] that if people believe in the Messiah [MTY], God would forgive [them for] their sins, because of what [the Messiah would do] for them.”
44 A když ještě Petr mluvil slova tato, sstoupil Duch svatý na všecky, kteříž poslouchali slova Božího.
While Peter was still speaking those words, suddenly the Holy Spirit (came down on/began to control) all [those non-Jewish people] who were listening to the message.
45 I užasli se ti, jenž z obřezaných věřící byli, kteříž byli přišli s Petrem, že i na pohany dar Ducha svatého jest vylit.
The Jewish believers who had come with Peter [from Joppa] were amazed that [God] had generously given the Holy Spirit to the non-Jewish people, too.
46 Nebo slyšeli je, ani mluví jazyky rozličnými, a velebí Boha. Tedy odpověděl Petr:
[The Jewish believers knew that God had done that] because they were hearing those people speaking languages [MTY] [that they had not learned] and telling how great God is.
47 Zdali může kdo zabrániti vody, aby tito nebyli pokřtěni, kteříž Ducha svatého přijali jako i my?
Then Peter said [to the other Jewish believers who were there], “[God] has given them the Holy Spirit just like [he gave him] to us [Jewish believers], so (surely all of you would agree that [we(exc)] should baptize these people!/would any of you forbid that these people should be baptized?) [RHQ]”
48 A rozkázal je pokřtíti ve jménu Páně. I prosili ho, aby u nich pobyl za některý den.
Then Peter told those [non-Jewish] people that they should be baptized [to show that they had believed] [MTY] in the [Lord] Jesus Christ. [So they baptized all of them. After they were baptized], they requested that Peter stay [with them] several days. [So Peter and the other Jewish believers did that].
