Acts 11
1 And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;
Juudamaal elavad apostlid ja usklikud kuulsid, et ka teised rahvad olid Jumala sõna vastu võtnud.
2 and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,
Ja kui Peetrus tuli üles Jeruusalemma, riidlesid ümberlõigatud usklikud temaga:
3 saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.
„Sina oled läinud ümberlõikamata meeste juurde ja söönud koos nendega!“
4 But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying,
Siis Peetrus parandas nende arusaama ja seletas neile asja algusest peale:
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:
„Mina olin Joppe linnas palvetamas ja nägin otsekui enesest ära olles nägemust: seal laskus alla anum, nagu suur palverätik, mida nelja nurka pidi lasti alla taevast, ja see tuli otse minu juurde.
6 on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.
Ja kui ma seda tähelepanelikult vaatasin, nägin ma ilmamaa neljajalgseid loomi, metsloomi, roomajaid ja taeva linde.
7 And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.
Ja ma kuulsin ka häält mulle ütlemas: „Tõuse, Peetrus! Ohverda ja söö!“
8 And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.
Aga mina ütlesin: „Kindlasti mitte, Issand! Sest ma pole kunagi suu sisse võtnud midagi keelatut või roojast!“
9 And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
Siis vastas mulle teist korda hääl taevast: „Mida Jumal on puhtaks kuulutanud, seda sina ära pea roojaseks!“
10 And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;
See sündis kolm korda, ja kõik tõmmati jälle taevasse.
11 and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
Ja vaata, samal hetkel seisid maja ees need kolm meest, kes olid Kaisareast läkitatud minu juurde.
12 And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,
Vaim ütles mulle, et ma läheksin nendega kaasa kõhklemata. Minuga tulid ka need kuus venda ja me läksime selle mehe majja.
13 and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
Ja ta jutustas meile, kuidas ta oli näinud inglit oma majas seismas ja ütlemas: „Läkita neli inimest Joppesse Siimoni järele, keda kutsutakse Peetruseks.
14 who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
Ta toob sulle sõnumi, mille läbi sina ja kogu su pere saate päästetud.“
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.
Nii kui ma hakkasin rääkima, langes Püha Vaim nende peale nii nagu meiegi peale alguses.
16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.
Siis meenus mulle Issanda sõna, kuidas ta ütles: „Johannes ristis küll veega, aga teid ristitakse Püha Vaimuga.“
17 If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God?
Kui nüüd Jumal on andnud neile sama anni kui meilegi, kes me usume Issandasse Jeesusesse Kristusesse, kes olen siis mina, et Jumalat keelata?“
18 And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.
Seda kuuldes polnud neil enam vastuväiteid ja andsid Jumalale au, öeldes: „Siis on Jumal ka teistele rahvastele andnud meeleparanduse eluks!“
19 They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through [the country] to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.
Need, kes olid Stefanose pärast tekkinud tagakiusu ajal laiali pillutatud, käisid mööda maad Foiniikiani, Küprose saareni ja Antiookiani, kuulutades sõna ainult juutidele.
20 But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.
Nende hulgas oli ka Küprose ja Küreene mehi, need rääkisid pärast Antiookiasse jõudmist ka kreeklastele, kuulutades neile evangeeliumi Issandast Jeesusest.
21 And [the] Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
Issanda käsi oli nendega ning suur hulk uskus ja pöördus Issanda poole.
22 And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:
Aga jutt nendest jõudis Jeruusalemma koguduse kõrvu ja nad läkitasid Barnabase Antiookiasse.
23 who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;
Kui ta sinna jõudis ja Jumala armu nägi, sai ta rõõmsaks ja julgustas kõiki jääma oma südameis Issandale ustavaks.
24 for he was a good man and full of [the] Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd [of people] were added to the Lord.
Ta oli hea mees, täis Püha Vaimu ja usku. Ja palju inimesi toodi Issanda juurde.
25 And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.
Siis läks Barnabas Tarsosesse Saulust otsima,
26 And having found [him], he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
ja kui ta leidis tema, tõi ta Antiookiasse. Ja nad käisid terve aasta koos koguduses ja õpetasid suurt hulka rahvast. Ja Antiookias hakati jüngreid esimest korda nimetama kristlasteks.
27 Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch;
Neil päevil tuli prohveteid Jeruusalemmast alla Antiookiasse.
28 and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius.
Üks neist, Agabos nimi, tõusis püsti ja andis Vaimu läbi teada, et suur nälg on tulemas üle Rooma valduste. (Nõnda ka sündis keiser Klaudiuse valitsemise ajal.)
29 And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister [to them];
Siis iga jünger otsustas saata Juudamaal elavatele vendadele abi vastavalt oma võimalustele.
30 which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Seda nad tegidki, läkitades annetused Barnabase ja Sauluse kaudu koguduste vanematele.
