Apostelenes gerninger 10
1 Men en Mand i Kæsarea ved Navn Konelius, en Høvedsmand ved den Afdeling, som kaldes den italienske,
NOW there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the cohort called the Italic,
2 en from Mand, der frygtede Gud tillige med hele sit Hus og gav Folket mange Almisser og altid bad til Gud,
a man of piety, and who feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
3 han så klarlig i et Syn omtrent ved den niende Time på Dagen en Guds Engel, som kom ind til ham og sagde til ham: "Kornelius!"
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 Men han stirrede på ham og blev forfærdet og sagde: "Hvad er det, Herre?" Han sagde til ham: "Dine Bønner og dine Almisser ere opstegne til Ihukommelse for Gud.
Then looking stedfastly on him, and being terrified, he said, What means this, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 Og send nu nogle Mænd til Joppe, og lad hente en vis Simon med Tilnavn Peter.
And now send men to Joppa, and inquire for Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 Han har Herberge hos en vis Simon, en Garver, hvis Hus er ved Havet."
he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is near the sea: this man will tell thee what thou must do.
7 Men da Engelen, som talte til ham, var gået bort, kaldte han to af sine Husfolk og en gudfrygtig Stridsmand af dem, som stadig vare om ham.
But when the angel departed who spake to Cornelius, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, persons who constantly were in attendance upon him;
8 Og han fortalte dem det alt sammen og sendte dem til Joppe.
and relating all things to them, sent them to Joppa.
9 Men den næste Dag, da disse vare undervejs og nærmede sig til Byen, steg Peter op på Taget for at bede ved den sjette Time.
Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth hour:
10 Og han blev meget hungrig og vilde have noget at spise; men medens de lavede det til, kom der en Henrykkelse over ham,
and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him.
11 og han så Himmelen åbnet og noget, der dalede ned, ligesom en stor Dug, der ved de fire Hjørner sænkedes ned på Jorden;
And he saw heaven opened, and there descended to him a certain vessel, as a great sheet with chains at the four corners, and resting upon the earth:
12 og i denne var der alle Jordens firføddede Dyr og krybende Dyr og Himmelens Fugle.
in which were all the quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and birds of the air.
13 Og en Røst lød til ham: "Stå op, Peter, slagt og spis!"
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; slay and eat.
14 Men Peter sagde: "Ingenlunde, Herre! thi aldrig har jeg spist noget vanhelligt og urent."
But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean.
15 Og atter for anden Gang lød der en Røst til ham: "Hvad Gud har renset, holde du ikke for vanhelligt!"
And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean.
16 Og dette skete tre Gange, og straks blev dugen igen optagen til Himmelen.
This was thrice repeated: and the vessel was again taken up into heaven.
17 Men medens Peter var tvivlrådig med sig selv om, hvad det Syn, som han havde set, måtte betyde, se, da havde de Mænd, som vare udsendte af Kornelius, opspurgt Simons Hus og stode for Porten.
But while Peter was perplexed in himself what was meant by the vision which he had seen, then, behold! the men which had been sent by Cornelius having inquired out the house of Simon, stood before the door,
18 Og de råbte og spurgte, om Simmon med Tilnavn Peter havde Herberge der.
and calling, asked if Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 Men idet Peter grublede over Synet, sagde Ånden til ham: "Se, der er tre Mænd, som søge efter dig;
But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee.
20 men stå op, stig ned, og drag med dem uden at tvivle; thi det er mig, som har sendt dem."
Arise then, and go down, and go with them, entertaining no doubt, for I have sent them.
21 Så steg Peter ned til Mændene og sagde: "Se, jeg er den, som I søge efter; hvad er Årsagen, hvorfor I ere komne?"
Then Peter went down to the men who were sent by Cornelius to him; and said, Lo! I am the person that ye ask for: what is the business on which ye are come hither?
22 Men de sagde: "Høvedsmanden Kornelius, en retfærdig og gudfrygtig Mand, som har godt Vidnesbyrd af hele Jødernes Folk, har at en hellig Engel fået Befaling fra Gud til at lade dig hente til sit Hus og høre, hvad du har at sige."
Then they said, Cornelius a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report with all the nation of the Jews, has been divinely admonished by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, to hear words from thee.
23 Da kaldte han dem ind og gav dem Herberge. Men den næste Dag stod han op og drog bort med dem, og nogle af Brødrene fra Joppe droge med ham.
Then inviting them in, he lodged them there. And the next morning Peter went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Og den følgende Dag kom de til Kæsarea. Men Kornelius ventede på dem og havde sammnenkaldt sine Frænder og nærmeste Venner.
And the next day they entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his relations and nearest friends.
25 Men da det nu skete, at Peter kom ind, gik Kornelius ham i Møde og faldt ned for hans Fødder og tilbad ham.
And as Peter was entering, Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, paid him homage.
26 Men Peter rejste ham op og sagde: "Stå op! også jeg er selv et Menneske."
But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also myself am a man.
27 Og under Samtale med ham gik han ind og fandt mange samlede.
And conversing with him, he entered, and found many assembled together.
28 Og han sagde til dem: "I vide, hvor utilbørligt det er for en jødisk Mand at omgås med eller komne til nogen, som er af et fremmede Folk; men mig har Gud vist, at jeg ikke skulde kalde noget Menneske vanhelligt eller urent.
And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean.
29 Derfor kom jeg også uden Indvending, da jeg blev hentet; og jeg spørger eder da, af hvad Årsag I hentede mig?"
Wherefore also without a word, I came when invited: I beg to know therefore for what purpose ye have sent for me?
30 Og Kornelius sagde: "For fire Dage siden fastede jeg indtil denne Time, og ved den niende Time bad jeg i mit Hus; og se, en Mand stod for mig i et strålende Klædebon,
Then Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and, lo! a man stood before me in shining apparel,
31 og han sagde: Kornelius! din Bøn er hørt, og dine Almisser ere ihukommede for Gud.
and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are remembered before God.
32 Send derfor Bud til Joppe og lad Simon med Tilnavn Peter kalde, til dig; han har Herberge i Garveren Simons Hus ved Havet; han skal tale til dig, når han kommer.
Send therefore to Joppa, and invite Simon, whose surname is Peter, to come to thee; he lodgeth in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea: who, when he is come will talk with thee.
33 Derfor sendte jeg straks Bud til dig, og du gjorde vel i at komme. Nu ere vi derfor alle til Stede for Guds Åsyn for at høre alt, hvad der er dig befalet af Herren."
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore are all we here present before God, to hear all things that are given in charge to thee from God.
34 Men Peter oplod Munden og sagde: "Jeg forstår i Sandhed, at Gud ikke anser Personer;
Then Peter opening his mouth, said, In truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons:
35 men i hvert Folk er den, som frygter ham og gør Retfærdighed, velkommen for ham;
but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.
36 det Ord, som han sendte til Israels Børn, da han forkyndte Fred ved Jesus Kristus: han er alles Herre.
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all, ) ye know:
37 I kende det, som er udgået over hele Judæa, idet det begyndte fra Galilæa, efter den Dåb, som Johannes prædikede,
even that which was the common talk through all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 det om Jesus fra Nazareth, hvorledes Gud salvede ham med den Helligånd og Kraft, han, som drog omkring og gjorde vel og helbredte alle, som vare overvældede af Djævelen; thi Gud var med ham;
respecting Jesus, who was of Nazareth, how God had anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were tyrannically oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 og vi ere Vidner om alt det, som han har gjort både i Jødernes Land og i Jerusalem, han, som de også sloge ihjel, idet de hængte ham på et Træ.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed suspending him on a tree:
40 Ham oprejste Gud på den tredje dag og gav ham at åbenbares,
him God raised up the third day, and ordained that he should be visibly manifested;
41 ikke for hele Folket, men for de Vidner, som vare forud udvalgte af Gud, for os, som spiste og drak med ham, efter at han var opstanden fra de døde.
not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he was arisen from the dead.
42 Og han har påbudt os at prædike for Folket og at vidne, at han er den af Gud bestemte Dommer over levende og døde.
And hath commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to bear our testimony that this is the person who is ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 Ham give alle Profeterne det Vidnesbyrd, at enhver, som tror på ham, skal få Syndernes Forladelse ved hans Navn."
To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins.
44 Medens Peter endnu talte disse Ord, faldt den Helligånd på alle dem, som hørte Ordet.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all who heard the discourse.
45 Og de troende af Omskærelsen, så mange, som vare komne med Peter, bleve meget forbavsede over, af den Helligånds Gave var bleven udgydt også over Hedningerne;
And they of the circumcision who were believers, as many as came with Peter, were amazed, because even on the Gentiles the gift of the holy Ghost was poured out.
46 thi de hørte dem tale i Tunger og ophøje Gud.
For they heard them speaking in different languages, and magnifying God. Then Peter addressed them,
47 Da svarede Peter: "Mon nogen kan formene disse Vandet; så de ikke skulde døbes, de, som dog havde fået den Helligånd lige så vel som vi?"
Can any one forbid the water for baptising these persons, who have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 Og han befalede, af de skulde døbes i Jesu Kristi Navn. Da bade de ham om at blive der nogle Dage.
So he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to tarry there some days.
