Acts 10
1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a cohort that is called Italian,
Men en Mand i Kæsarea ved Navn Konelius, en Høvedsmand ved den Afdeling, som kaldes den italienske,
2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, also doing many kind acts to the people, and always imploring God;
en from Mand, der frygtede Gud tillige med hele sit Hus og gav Folket mange Almisser og altid bad til Gud,
3 he saw in a vision openly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in to him, and saying to him, “Cornelius”;
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!"
4 and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your kind acts came up for a memorial before God,
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.
5 and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
Og send nu nogle Mænd til Joppe, og lad hente en vis Simon med Tilnavn Peter.
6 this one lodges with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one will speak to you what you must do.”
Han har Herberge hos en vis Simon, en Garver, hvis Hus er ved Havet."
7 And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his servants, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,
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.
8 and having expounded all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Og han fortalte dem det alt sammen og sendte dem til Joppe.
9 And on the next day, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour,
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.
10 and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell on him 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 he beholds Heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down on the earth,
og han så Himmelen åbnet og noget, der dalede ned, ligesom en stor Dug, der ved de fire Hjørner sænkedes ned på Jorden;
12 in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky,
og i denne var der alle Jordens firføddede Dyr og krybende Dyr og Himmelens Fugle.
13 and there came a voice to him: “Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.”
Og en Røst lød til ham: "Stå op, Peter, slagt og spis!"
14 And Peter said, “Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean”;
Men Peter sagde: "Ingenlunde, Herre! thi aldrig har jeg spist noget vanhelligt og urent."
15 and [there is] a voice again a second time to him: “What God cleansed, you do not declare common”;
Og atter for anden Gang lød der en Røst til ham: "Hvad Gud har renset, holde du ikke for vanhelligt!"
16 and this was done three times, and again was the vessel received up to Heaven.
Og dette skete tre Gange, og straks blev dugen igen optagen til Himmelen.
17 And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, behold, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
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.
18 and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, lodges here.
Og de råbte og spurgte, om Simmon med Tilnavn Peter havde Herberge der.
19 And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you;
Men idet Peter grublede over Synet, sagde Ånden til ham: "Se, der er tre Mænd, som søge efter dig;
20 but having risen, go down and go on with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them”;
men stå op, stig ned, og drag med dem uden at tvivle; thi det er mig, som har sendt dem."
21 and Peter having come down to the men who have been sent from Cornelius to him, said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek, what [is] the cause for which you are present?”
Så steg Peter ned til Mændene og sagde: "Se, jeg er den, som I søge efter; hvad er Årsagen, hvorfor I ere komne?"
22 And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for you, to his house, and to hear sayings from you.”
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."
23 Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the next day Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brothers from Joppa went with 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 on the next day they entered into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and near friends,
Og den følgende Dag kom de til Kæsarea. Men Kornelius ventede på dem og havde sammnenkaldt sine Frænder og nærmeste Venner.
25 and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, worshiped [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 and Peter raised him, saying, “Stand up; I am also a man myself”;
Men Peter rejste ham op og sagde: "Stå op! også jeg er selv et Menneske."
27 and talking with him he went in, and finds many having come together.
Og under Samtale med ham gik han ind og fandt mange samlede.
28 And he said to them, “You know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come to, one of another race, but God showed to me to call no man common or unclean;
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.
29 therefore also without contradicting I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter you sent for me?”
Derfor kom jeg også uden Indvending, da jeg blev hentet; og jeg spørger eder da, af hvad Årsag I hentede mig?"
30 And Cornelius said, “Four days ago until this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in radiant 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 strålende Klædebon,
31 and he said, Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your kind acts were remembered before God;
og han sagde: Kornelius! din Bøn er hørt, og dine Almisser ere ihukommede for Gud.
32 send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, will speak to you;
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.
33 at once, therefore, I sent to you; you also did well, having come; now, therefore, we are all present before God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
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."
34 And Peter having opened his mouth, said, “Of a truth, I perceive that God is not favoring by appearance,
Men Peter oplod Munden og sagde: "Jeg forstår i Sandhed, at Gud ikke anser Personer;
35 but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
men i hvert Folk er den, som frygter ham og gør Retfærdighed, velkommen for ham;
36 the word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news—peace through Jesus Christ (this One is Lord of all),
det Ord, som han sendte til Israels Børn, da han forkyndte Fred ved Jesus Kristus: han er alles Herre.
37 you have known the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the immersion that John preached;
I kende det, som er udgået over hele Judæa, idet det begyndte fra Galilæa, efter den Dåb, som Johannes prædikede,
38 Jesus who [is] from Nazareth—how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the Devil, because God was with Him;
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;
39 and we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem—whom they slew, having hanged [Him] on a tree.
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.
40 This One God raised up [on] the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
Ham oprejste Gud på den tredje dag og gav ham at åbenbares,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God—to us who ate with [Him], and drank with Him, after His rising out of 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 us to preach to the people, and to fully testify that it is He who has been ordained judge of living and dead by God—
Og han har påbudt os at prædike for Folket og at vidne, at han er den af Gud bestemte Dommer over levende og døde.
43 to this One do all the Prophets testify, that through His Name everyone that is believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”
Ham give alle Profeterne det Vidnesbyrd, at enhver, som tror på ham, skal få Syndernes Forladelse ved hans Navn."
44 While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy Spirit fell on all those hearing the word,
Medens Peter endnu talte disse Ord, faldt den Helligånd på alle dem, som hørte Ordet.
45 and those of circumcision [who were] believing were astonished—as many as came with Peter—because the gift of the Holy Spirit has also been poured out on the nations,
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;
46 for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
thi de hørte dem tale i Tunger og ophøje Gud.
47 Then Peter answered, “Is anyone able to forbid the water, that these may not be immersed, who received the Holy Spirit—even as us also?”
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?"
48 He commanded them to also be immersed in the Name of the LORD; then they implored him to remain certain days.
Og han befalede, af de skulde døbes i Jesu Kristi Navn. Da bade de ham om at blive der nogle Dage.
