Acts 11
1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
Juudamaal elavad apostlid ja usklikud kuulsid, et ka teised rahvad olid Jumala sõna vastu võtnud.
2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were 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 didst eat with them.
„Sina oled läinud ümberlõikamata meeste juurde ja söönud koos nendega!“
4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
Siis Peetrus parandas nende arusaama ja seletas neile asja algusest peale:
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; 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 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Ja kui ma seda tähelepanelikult vaatasin, nägin ma ilmamaa neljajalgseid loomi, metsloomi, roomajaid ja taeva linde.
7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
Ja ma kuulsin ka häält mulle ütlemas: „Tõuse, Peetrus! Ohverda ja söö!“
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
Aga mina ütlesin: „Kindlasti mitte, Issand! Sest ma pole kunagi suu sisse võtnud midagi keelatut või roojast!“
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Siis vastas mulle teist korda hääl taevast: „Mida Jumal on puhtaks kuulutanud, seda sina ära pea roojaseks!“
10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
See sündis kolm korda, ja kõik tõmmati jälle taevasse.
11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.
Ja vaata, samal hetkel seisid maja ees need kolm meest, kes olid Kaisareast läkitatud minu juurde.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:
Vaim ütles mulle, et ma läheksin nendega kaasa kõhklemata. Minuga tulid ka need kuus venda ja me läksime selle mehe majja.
13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is 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 tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
Ta toob sulle sõnumi, mille läbi sina ja kogu su pere saate päästetud.“
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
Nii kui ma hakkasin rääkima, langes Püha Vaim nende peale nii nagu meiegi peale alguses.
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Siis meenus mulle Issanda sõna, kuidas ta ütles: „Johannes ristis küll veega, aga teid ristitakse Püha Vaimuga.“
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand 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 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
Seda kuuldes polnud neil enam vastuväiteid ja andsid Jumalale au, öeldes: „Siis on Jumal ka teistele rahvastele andnud meeleparanduse eluks!“
19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
Need, kes olid Stefanose pärast tekkinud tagakiusu ajal laiali pillutatud, käisid mööda maad Foiniikiani, Küprose saareni ja Antiookiani, kuulutades sõna ainult juutidele.
20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching 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 hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
Issanda käsi oli nendega ning suur hulk uskus ja pöördus Issanda poole.
22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the Assembly which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
Aga jutt nendest jõudis Jeruusalemma koguduse kõrvu ja nad läkitasid Barnabase Antiookiasse.
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto 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 Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
Ta oli hea mees, täis Püha Vaimu ja usku. Ja palju inimesi toodi Issanda juurde.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
Siis läks Barnabas Tarsosesse Saulust otsima,
26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they gathered themselves together with the Assembly, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first 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 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
Neil päevil tuli prohveteid Jeruusalemmast alla Antiookiasse.
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cæsar.
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 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judæa:
Siis iga jünger otsustas saata Juudamaal elavatele vendadele abi vastavalt oma võimalustele.
30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Seda nad tegidki, läkitades annetused Barnabase ja Sauluse kaudu koguduste vanematele.
