Acts 10
1 Futhermore there was a certaine man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a captaine of the band called the Italian band,
Men en Mand i Kæsarea ved Navn Kornelius, en Høvedsmand ved den Afdeling, som kaldes den italienske,
2 A deuoute man, and one that feared God with all his housholde, which gaue much almes to the people, and prayed God continually.
en from Mand, der frygtede Gud tillige med hele sit Hus og gav Folket mange Almisser og altid bad til Gud,
3 He sawe in a vision euidently (about the ninth houre of the day) an Angel of God comming in to him, and saying vnto him, Cornelius.
han saa klarlig i et Syn omtrent ved den niende Time paa Dagen en Guds Engel, som kom ind til ham og sagde til ham: „Kornelius!‟
4 But when hee looked on him, hee was afrayd, and sayd, What is it, Lord? and he sayd vnto him, Thy prayers and thine almes are come vp into remembrance before God.
Men han stirrede paa 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.
5 Nowe therefore send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
Og send nu nogle Mænd til Joppe, og lad hente en vis Simon med Tilnavn Peter.
6 Hee lodgeth with one Simon a Tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to doe.
Han har Herberge hos en vis Simon, en Garver, hvis Hus er ved Havet.‟
7 And when the Angel which spake vnto Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his seruants, and a souldier that feared God, one of them that waited on him,
Men da Engelen, som talte til ham, var gaaet bort, kaldte han to af sine Husfolk og en gudfrygtig Stridsmand af dem, som stadigt vare om ham.
8 And tolde them all things, and sent them to Ioppa.
Og han fortalte dem det alt sammen og sendte dem til Joppe.
9 On the morow as they went on their iourney, and drew neere vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixt houre.
Men den næste Dag, da disse vare undervejs og nærmede sig til Byen, steg Peter op paa Taget for at bede ved den sjette Time.
10 Then waxed hee an hungred, and would haue eaten: but while they made some thing ready, he fell into a trance.
Og han blev meget hungrig og vilde have noget at spise; men medens de lavede det til, kom der en Henrykkelse over ham,
11 And hee sawe heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had bene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and was let downe to the earth.
og han saa Himmelen aabnet og noget, der dalede ned, ligesom en stor Dug, der ved de fire Hjørner sænkedes ned paa Jorden;
12 Wherein were all maner of foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
og i denne var der alle Jordens firføddede Dyr og krybende Dyr og Himmelens Fugle.
13 And there came a voyce to him, Arise, Peter: kill, and eate.
Og en Røst lød til ham: „Staa op, Peter, slagt og spis!‟
14 But Peter sayd, Not so, Lord: for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is polluted, or vncleane.
Men Peter sagde: „Ingenlunde, Herre! thi aldrig har jeg spist noget vanhelligt og urent.‟
15 And the voyce spake vnto him againe the second time, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
Og atter for anden Gang lød der en Røst til ham: „Hvad Gud har renset, holde du ikke for vanhelligt!‟
16 This was so done thrise: and the vessell was drawen vp againe into heauen.
Og dette skete tre Gange, og straks blev Dugen igen optagen til Himmelen.
17 Nowe while Peter douted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, meant, beholde, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had inquired for Simons house, and stoode at the gate,
Men medens Peter var tvivlraadig med sig selv om, hvad det Syn, som han havde set, maatte betyde, se, da havde de Mænd, som vare udsendte af Kornelius, opspurgt Simons Hus og stode for Porten.
18 And called, and asked, whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
Og de raabte og spurgte, om Simon med Tilnavn Peter havde Herberge der.
19 And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit sayde vnto him, Beholde, three men seeke thee.
Men idet Peter grublede over Synet, sagde Aanden til ham: „Se, der er tre Mænd, som søge efter dig;
20 Arise therefore, and get thee downe, and goe with them, and doute nothing: For I haue sent them.
men staa op, stig ned, og drag med dem uden at tvivle; thi det er mig, som har sendt dem.‟
21 Then Peter went downe to the men, which were sent vnto him from Cornelius, and sayd, Beholde, I am he whome ye seeke: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
Saa steg Peter ned til Mændene og sagde: „Se, jeg er den, som I søge efter; hvad er Aarsagen, hvorfor I ere komne?‟
22 And they sayd, Cornelius the captaine, a iust man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Iewes, was warned from heauen by an holy Angel, to send for thee into his house, and to heare thy wordes.
Men de sagde: „Høvedsmanden Kornelius, en retfærdig og gudfrygtig Mand, som har godt Vidnesbyrd af hele Jødernes Folk, har af en hellig Engel faaet Befaling fra Gud til at lade dig hente til sit Hus og høre, hvad du har at sige.‟
23 Then called he them in, and lodged them, and the next day, Peter went foorth with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accompanied him.
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.
24 And the day after, they entred into Cesarea. Nowe Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsemen, and special friends.
Og den følgende Dag kom de til Kæsarea. Men Kornelius ventede paa dem og havde sammenkaldt sine Frænder og nærmeste Venner.
25 And it came to passe as Peter came in, that Cornelius met him, and fell downe at his feete, and worshipped him.
Men da det nu skete, at Peter kom ind, gik Kornelius ham i Møde og faldt ned for hans Fødder og tilbad ham.
26 But Peter tooke him vp, saying, Stand vp: for euen I my selfe am a man.
Men Peter rejste ham op og sagde: „Staa op! ogsaa jeg er selv et Menneske.‟
27 And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were come together.
Og under Samtale med ham gik han ind og fandt mange samlede.
28 And he sayd vnto them, Ye know that it is an vnlawfull thing for a man that is a Iewe, to company, or come vnto one of another nation: but God hath shewed me, that I should not call any man polluted, or vncleane.
Og han sagde til dem: „I vide, hvor utilbørligt det er for en jødisk Mand at omgaas med eller komme til nogen, som er af et fremmed Folk; men mig har Gud vist, at jeg ikke skulde kalde noget Menneske vanhelligt eller urent.
29 Therefore came I vnto you without saying nay, when I was sent for. I aske therefore, for what intent haue ye sent for me?
Derfor kom jeg ogsaa uden Indvending, da jeg blev hentet; og jeg spørger eder da, af hvad Aarsag I hentede mig?‟
30 Then Cornelius sayd, Foure dayes agoe, about this houre, I fasted, and at the ninth houre I prayed in mine house, and beholde, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
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 straalende Klædebon,
31 And sayd, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almes are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
og han sagde: Kornelius! din Bøn er hørt, og dine Almisser ere ihukommede for Gud.
32 Send therefore to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter (he is lodged in the house of Simon a Tanner by the sea side) who when he commeth, shall speake vnto thee.
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, naar han kommer.
33 Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done to come. Nowe therefore are we all here present before God, to heare all things that are commanded thee of God.
Derfor sendte jeg straks Bud til dig, og du gjorde vel i at komme. Nu ere vi derfor alle til Stede for Guds Aasyn for at høre alt, hvad der er dig befalet af Herren.‟
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayd, Of a trueth I perceiue, that God is no accepter of persons.
Men Peter oplod Munden og sagde: „Jeg forstaar i Sandhed, at Gud ikke anser Personer;
35 But in euery nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousnesse, is accepted with him.
men i hvert Folk er den, som frygter ham og gør Retfærdighed, velkommen for ham;
36 Ye know the worde which God hath sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Iesus Christ, which is Lord of all:
— det Ord, som han sendte til Israels Børn, da han forkyndte Fred ved Jesus Kristus: han er alles Herre.
37 Euen the worde which came through all Iudea, beginning in Galile, after the baptisme which Iohn preached.
I kende det, som er udgaaet over hele Judæa, idet det begyndte fra Galilæa, efter den Daab, som Johannes prædikede,
38 To wit, howe God anointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the deuill: for God was with him.
det om Jesus fra Nazareth, hvorledes Gud salvede ham med den Helligaand og Kraft, han, som drog omkring og gjorde vel og helbredte alle, som vare overvældede af Djævelen; thi Gud var med ham;
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Iewes, and in Hierusalem, whom they slewe, hanging him on a tree.
og vi ere Vidner om alt det, som han har gjort baade i Jødernes Land og i Jerusalem, han, som de ogsaa sloge ihjel, idet de hængte ham paa et Træ.
40 Him God raysed vp the third day, and caused that he was shewed openly:
Ham oprejste Gud paa den tredje Dag og gav ham at aabenbares,
41 Not to all the people, but vnto the witnesses chosen before of God, euen to vs which did eate and drinke with him, after he arose from the dead.
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.
42 And he commanded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testifie, that it is he that is ordained of God a iudge of quicke and dead.
Og han har paabudt os at prædike for Folket og at vidne, at han er den af Gud bestemte Dommer over levende og døde.
43 To him also giue all the Prophets witnesse, that through his Name all that beleeue in him, shall receiue remission of sinnes.
Ham give alle Profeterne det Vidnesbyrd, at enhver, som tror paa ham, skal faa Syndernes Forladelse ved hans Navn.‟
44 While Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy Ghost fell on al them which heard the word.
Medens Peter endnu talte disse Ord, faldt den Helligaand paa alle dem, som hørte Ordet.
45 So they of the circumcision which beleeued, were astonied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was powred out the gift of the holy Ghost.
Og de troende af Omskærelsen, saa mange, som vare komne med Peter, bleve meget forbavsede over, at den Helligaands Gave var bleven udgydt ogsaa over Hedningerne;
46 For they heard them speake with tongues, and magnifie God. Then answered Peter,
thi de hørte dem tale i Tunger og ophøje Gud.
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which haue receiued the holy Ghost, as well as we?
Da svarede Peter: „Mon nogen kan formene disse Vandet, saa de ikke skulde døbes, de, som dog have faaet den Helligaand lige saa vel som vi?‟
48 So he commanded them to be baptized in the Name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tary certaine dayes.
Og han befalede, at de skulde døbes i Jesu Kristi Navn. Da bade de ham om at blive der nogle Dage.
