Acts 10
1 [There was] a man [who lived] in Caesarea [city] whose name was Cornelius. He was an officer who commanded 100 men in a large group of [Roman] soldiers from Italy.
Був же один чоловік у Кесариї, на ймя Корнелий, сотник із роти, званої Італийською,
2 He always tried to do what would please God; he and his entire household [MTY] [were non-Jews who] habitually worshipped God. He sometimes gave money to help poor [Jewish] people, and he prayed to God regularly.
побожний і богобоязливий з усїм домом своїм, подавав він багато милостинї народові, і молив ся всякого часу Богу.
3 [One day] at about three o’clock in the afternoon [Cornelius saw] a vision. He clearly saw an angel whom God [had sent]. The angel came into [his room] and said to him, “Cornelius!”
Видів же він у видінні ясно коло девятої години, як ангел Божий ввійшов до него й промовив йому: Корнелию!
4 Cornelius stared at the angel and became terrified. Then he asked [fearfully], “Sir, what do you [(sg)] want?” The angel answered him, “You [(sg)] have pleased God because you have been praying [regularly to him] and you often give money to [help] poor people. [Those things have been] like a sacrifice [to God].
Він же, глянувши на него, злякав ся, і каже: Чого, Господи? Рече ж йому: Молитви твої і милостинї твої спогадались перед Богом.
5 So, now command some men to go to Joppa and [tell them to] bring back a man named Simon whose other name is Peter.
Пішли ж тепер у Йоппию людей та приклич Симона, що прозиваєть ся Петром.
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
Він гостює в одного Симона кожемяки, що хата його над морем. Сей скаже тобі, що маєш робити.
7 When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had gone, Cornelius summoned two of his household servants and a soldier who served him, one who also worshipped God.
Як же пійшов ангел, що глаголав до Корнелия, покликавши він двох слуг своїх, та побожного воїна з тих, що стерегли його,
8 He explained to them everything [that the angel had said. Then] he told them to go to Joppa [to ask Peter to come to Caesarea].
і розказавши їм усе, післав їх у Йоппию.
9 About noon the next day those [three men] were traveling [along the road] and were coming near [Joppa. As they were approaching Joppa], Peter went up on the [flat] housetop to pray.
Назавтра ж, як буди в дорозї і наближались до города, зійшов Петр на кришу помолитись коло шестої години.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
Став же голодний і забажав їсти; як же готовили, найшло на него захопленнє,
11 (He saw heaven open/He saw an opening in the sky) and something like a large sheet was being lowered [to the ground]. [It was tied at] its four corners [with ropes].
і видить небо відчинене, і що сходить до него посудина якась, наче обрус великий, по чотиром кінцям звязаний і спускаючий ся на землю,
12 Inside the sheet were all kinds of creatures. [These included animals and birds that the Mosaic laws forbade Jews to eat]. Some had four feet, others scurried across the ground, and others were wild birds.
в котрому були всякі чотироногі землї, і зьвірі, і повзючі, і птиці небесні.
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
І роздав ся голос до него: Устань, Петре, заколи, та й їж.
14 But Peter replied, “Lord, surely you [(sg)] do not [really want me to do that]! I have never eaten any [meat] that [our Jewish law says] is unacceptable to God or [something that we(exc)] must not eat!”
Петр же каже: Нї, Господи, ніколи бо не їв я нічого поганого та нечистого.
15 [Then Peter heard] [MTY] God talk to him a second time. He said, “[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!”
А голос знов вдруге до него: Що Бог очистив, ти не погань.
16 [This happened] three [times, so Peter knew that he had to think carefully about what it might mean]. Immediately [after God had said that the third time], ([the] sheet [with the animals and birds] was the pulled back into heaven/[someone] pulled the sheet [with the animals and birds] up into the sky again).
Стало ся ж се тричі; і взято знов посудину на небо.
17 While Peter was trying to understand what that vision meant, the men who had been sent by Cornelius {whom Cornelius had sent} [arrived in Joppa. They asked people how to get to] Simon’s house. [So they found his house] and were standing outside the gate.
Як же сумнївав ся в собі Петр, що се за видїннє було, що видів, аж ось два чоловіки, послані від Корнелия, розпитавши про Симонову господу, стали коло воріт,
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
і покликнувши спитали: Чи тут гостює Симон, на прізвище Петр?
19 While Peter was still trying to understand [what] the vision [meant], [God’s] Spirit said to him, “Three men [are here who] want to see you.
Коли ж думав Петр про видїннє, рече йому Дух: Ось три чоловіки шукають тебе.
20 So get up and go downstairs and go with them! Do not think that you [(sg)] should not go with them [because of their being non-Jews], because I have sent them [here]!”
Уставши ж, зійди та йди з ними, не розбираючи; бо я післав їх.
21 So Peter went down to the men and said to them, “[Greetings!] I am [the man] you are looking for. Why have you come?”
Зійшовши ж Петр до чоловіків, посланих до него від Корнелия, рече: Ось я, кого шукаєте? Що за причина, для котрої прийшли?
22 One of them replied, “Cornelius, who is a [Roman] army officer, [sent us here]. He is a righteous man who worships God, and all of the Jewish people [HYP] [who know about him] say that he is a very good man. An angel (who was sent from God/whom God sent) said to him, ‘Tell some men to [go to Joppa to see Simon Peter and] bring him here, so that you [(sg)] can hear what he has to say.’”
Вони ж кажуть: Корнелий сотник, чоловік праведний, і богобоязливий, і доброї слави між усїм народом Жидівським, був наставлений від ангела сьвятого покликати тебе в господу свою і послухати словес від тебе.
23 So Peter [said that he would go with them, and then he] invited them into [the house] and told them that they could stay [there that night]. Acts 10:23b-26 The next day Peter got ready and went with the men. Several of the believers from Joppa went with him.
Закликавши ж їх, угостив. Назавтра ж вийшов Петр із ними, і деякі з братів з Йоппиї пійшли з ним.
24 The day after that, they arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them. He had also invited his relatives and close friends [to come to his house, so they were there, too].
А другого дня увійшли в Кесарию. Корнелий же дожидав їх, скликавши родину свою і близьких приятелїв.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
Як же стало ся, що ввійшов Петр, зустрівши його Корнелий, упав у ноги та й уклонив ся.
26 But Peter [grasped Cornelius by the hand and] lifted him to his feet. He said, “Stand up! [Do not revere/worship me] I myself am only human, [like you]!”
Петр же підвів його, говорячи: Встань; я таки же чоловік.
27 While he was talking to Cornelius, Peter [and the others] entered [a large room inside the house]. Peter saw that many people had gathered together [there].
І, розмовляючи з ним, увійшов, і знаходить многих, що посходились.
28 Then Peter said to them, “You all know that any [of us] Jews think we are disobeying [our Jewish] laws if we [(exc)] associate with a non-Jewish person or [if we even] visit him. However, God has shown me [in a vision] that I should not say about anyone that God will not accept him.
І рече до них: Ви знаєте, що не годить ся чоловікові Жидовинові приставати або приходити до чужоземцїв; та мені Бог показав, щоб нїкого поганином або нечистим чоловіком не звав.
29 So when you sent [some men] to ask me to come [here], I came [right away. I] did not say that I could not go [with non-Jewish people. So, please tell me], why have you asked me to come [here]?”
Тим я, не відмовляючись, прийшов покликаний. Питаю ж оце, для чого покликали мене?
30 Cornelius replied, “About this time four days ago I was praying [to God] in my house, [as I regularly do] at three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man whose clothes [shone] brightly stood in front of me,
І каже Корнелий; Четвертий день тому, як постив я аж до сієї години, а в девятій годині молив ся в дому моїм; і ось чоловік став передо мною в ясній одежї.
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, when you [(sg)] have prayed, you have been heard by God {God has heard [when] you [(sg)] have prayed [to him]}. He has also noticed that you have [often] given money to [help] poor people, [and he is pleased with that].
і рече: Корнелию, вислухана твоя молитва, і милостині твої згадано перед Богом.
32 So now, send [messengers to go] to Joppa, [in order] to ask Simon whose other name is Peter to come [here]. He is staying near the ocean in a house that belongs to [another] man named Simon, who makes leather. [When Simon Peter comes, he will tell you a message from God].’
Пішли ж в Йоппию та поклич Симона, що зветь ся Петром. Він гостює в господі в Симона кожемяки, над морем. Він, прийшовши, глаголати ме тобі.
33 So I immediately sent [some men who asked] you [(sg) to come here], and I [certainly] thank you for coming. Now we [(exc)] all are gathered [here, knowing that] God is with us, in order to hear all the things that the Lord [God] has commanded you [to say. So please speak to us].”
Зараз оце післав я до тебе, і добре зробив єси, прийшовши. Нинї ж усї ми перед Богом стоїмо, щоб слухати все, що звелено тобі від Бога.
34 So Peter began to speak [MTY] to them. He said, “[Now] I understand that it is true that God does not favor only certain groups [of people].
Відкривши ж Петр уста, рече: Поправдї постерегаю, що не на лице дивить ся Бог,
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
а в кожному народі, хто боїть ся Його, і робить правду, приятен Йому.
36 [You know] the message that God sent to [us] Israelis. [He] proclaimed [to us the good news that he] would cause [people] to have peace [with him] because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. This [Jesus is Lord not only over us Israelis. He] is [also the] Lord [who rules] over all [people].
Слово, що післав синам Ізраїлевим, благовіствуючи впокій через Ісуса Христа(се Господь усіх);
37 You know what [he] did throughout the land of Judea, beginning in Galilee. He began [to do those things] after John had been proclaiming [to people that they should turn away from their sinful behavior before] he baptized them.
ви знаєте слово, що було по всій Юдеї, почавши від Гадилеї після хрещення, що проповідував Йоан,
38 You know that God gave [MTY] his Holy Spirit to Jesus, [the Man] from Nazareth [town], and gave him the power [to do miracles. You also know] how Jesus went to many places, always doing good deeds and healing [people. Specifically], he was continually healing all the people whom the devil was causing to suffer. [Jesus was able to do those things] because God was always helping him.”
Про Ісуса з Назарета, як помазав Його Бог Духом сьвятим і силою, а котрий ходив, роблячи добро та сцїляючи всіх підневолених дияволом, бо Бог був з Ним.
39 “We [apostles] tell people about all the things that [we saw Jesus] do in Jerusalem and in the [rest of] Israel. [The leaders in Jerusalem] had him killed by being nailed to a cross.
І ми сьвідки всього, що Він розбив і в землї Жидівській, і в Єрусалимі; котрого убили й повісили на дереві.
40 However, God caused him to become alive again on the third day [after he had died]. God [also] enabled [some of us(exc)] to see him [so that we would know that he was alive again].
Сього, воскресив Бог третього дня, і дав Йому статись явним
41 God [did] not [let] all the [Jewish] people see him. Instead, he had chosen us [apostles] beforehand to see [Jesus after he became alive again], and to tell others [about him]. We [apostles are the people] who ate meals with him (after he had become alive [again]/after he had risen from the dead).
не всьому народові, а сьвідкам наперед вибраним від Бога, - нам, що їли й пили з Ним по воскресенню Його з мертвих.
42 God commanded us to preach to the people and tell them that Jesus is the one whom he has appointed to judge [everyone some day. He will judge all] those who will [still] be living and all those who will have died [by that time].
І повелїв нам проповідувати народові і сьвідкувати, що Він призначений від Бога суддею живим і мертвим.
43 All of the prophets [who wrote about the Messiah long ago] told [people] about him. [They wrote] that if people believe in the Messiah [MTY], God would forgive [them for] their sins, because of what [the Messiah would do] for them.”
Про Сього всї пророки сьвідкують, що всякий, хто вірує в Него, відпущеннє гріхів прийме через імя Його.
44 While Peter was still speaking those words, suddenly the Holy Spirit (came down on/began to control) all [those non-Jewish people] who were listening to the message.
Ще, як промовляв Петр слова сї, найшов Дух сьвятий на всіх, хто слухав його.
45 The Jewish believers who had come with Peter [from Joppa] were amazed that [God] had generously given the Holy Spirit to the non-Jewish people, too.
І здивувались ті, що були від обрізання, котрі прийшли з Петром. що й на поган дар сьвятого Духа вилив ся.
46 [The Jewish believers knew that God had done that] because they were hearing those people speaking languages [MTY] [that they had not learned] and telling how great God is.
Чули бо їх, що розмовляли мовами і величали Бога. Тоді озвав ся Петр:
47 Then Peter said [to the other Jewish believers who were there], “[God] has given them the Holy Spirit just like [he gave him] to us [Jewish believers], so (surely all of you would agree that [we(exc)] should baptize these people!/would any of you forbid that these people should be baptized?) [RHQ]”
Чи може хто боронити води, щоб оцім охреститись, котрі Духа сьвятого прийняли, як і ми?
48 Then Peter told those [non-Jewish] people that they should be baptized [to show that they had believed] [MTY] in the [Lord] Jesus Christ. [So they baptized all of them. After they were baptized], they requested that Peter stay [with them] several days. [So Peter and the other Jewish believers did that].
І звелів їм охреститись в імя Господнє. Тоді просили його, щоб пробув у них кілька днів.
