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.
Проживав же один чоловік у Кесарі́ї, на йме́ння Корни́лій, сотник по́лку, що звавсь Італійським.
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.
З усім домом своїм він побожний був та богобійний, подавав людям щедру ми́лостиню, і за́вжди Богові молився.
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!”
Явно він у видінні, десь коло години дев'ятої дня, бачив Ангола Божого, що до нього зійшов і промовив йому: „Корни́лію!“
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 поглянув на нього й жахнувся, й сказав: „Що, Господи?“Той же йому відказав: „Моли́тви твої й твоя ми́лостиня перед Богом згадалися.
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.
Тепер же пошли до Йоппі́ї людей, та й приклич Си́мона, що зветься Петром.
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
Він гостює в одно́го гарбарника Си́мона, що дім має при морі. Він скаже тобі, що́ ти 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.
Коли ж Ангол, що йому говорив, відійшов, той закликав двох із своїх слуг домо́вих, і вояка́ богобійного з тих, що служили при ньому,
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 розповів їм усе та й послав їх в Йоппі́ю.
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.
А наступного дня, як у дорозі були́ вони та наближа́лись до міста, Петро вийшов на го́рницю, щоб помолитись, о годині десь шостій.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
І став він голодний, і їсти схотів. Як йому ж готували, захо́плення на нього найшло,
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 бачить він небо відкрите, і якуюсь посу́дину, що схо́дила, немов простира́ло велике, яка, за чотири кінці прив'язана, спускалась додолу.
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.
У ній же знахо́дились чотириногі всілякі, і зе́мне гаддя, і небесні пташки́.
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
І голос почувся до нього: „Устань, заколи, Петре, і 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!”
А Петро відказав: „Жа́дним способом, Господи, — бо ніко́ли не їв я нічого оги́дного чи то 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]!”
І знов голос удруге до нього: „Що від Бога очи́щене, не вважай за оги́дне того́!“
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).
І це сталося тричі, і посу́дина знов була взята 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 Петро ж у собі бенте́жився, що́ б то значило те видіння, що бачив, то ось посланці́ від Корнилія, розпитавши про Си́монів дім, спинилися перед ворі́тьми,
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
і спиталися, крикнувши: „Чи то тут сидить Си́мон, що зветься Петро?“
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.
Як Петро ж над видінням роздумував, Дух промовив до нього: „Онде 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]!”
Але встань і зійди, і піди з ними без жодного су́мніву, бо то Я їх послав!“
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?”
І зійшовши Петро до тих му́жів, промовив: „Ось я той, що його ви шукаєте. З якої причини прийшли ви?“
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.’”
А вони відказали: „Сотник Корни́лій, муж праведний та богобійний, слави доброї в усього люду юдейського, святим а́нголом був у видінні наставлений, щоб до дому свого покли́кати тебе та послухати слів твоїх“.
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.
Тоді він покликав й гостинно прийняв їх. А другого дня він устав та й із ними пішов; також дехто з братів із Йоппі́ї пішли 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].
І назавтра прийшли вони до Кесарі́ї. А Корнилій чекав їх, рідню й близьких дру́зів покликавши.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
А як увіходив Петро, Корнилій зустрінув його, і до ніг йому впав і вклонився.
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]!”
Та Петро його підвів, промовляючи: „Устань, бо й сам я люди́на!“
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 знайшов багатьох, що зібралися,
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 промовив до них: „Ви знаєте, що не вільно юдеєві приставати й прихо́дити до чужани́ці. Та відкрив мені Бог, щоб я жодну люди́ну не мав за огидну чи то за нечисту.
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]?”
Тому я без вага́ння прибув, як покликано. Тож питаю я вас: З якої причини ви слали по 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,
А Корни́лій сказав: „Четвертого дня аж до цієї години я по́стив, а о дев'ятій годині молився я в домі своїм. І ото, перед мене став муж у блискучій одежі
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].
й сказав: „Корнилію, почута молитва твоя, і твої ми́лостині перед Богом згадалися.
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].’
Тож пошли до Йоппі́ї, і приклич Си́мона, що зветься Петром. Він гостює в гарба́рника Си́мона, у госпо́ді край моря, — він при́йде й розпові́сть 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].”
Я зараз по тебе послав, — ти добре зробив, що прийшов. Тож тепер перед Богом ми всі стоїмо́, щоб почути все те, що Господь наказав був тобі“.
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].
А Петро відкрив у́ста свої та й промовив: „Пізнаю́ я поправді, що „не дивиться Бог на обличчя“,
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
але в кожнім наро́ді приємний Йому, хто боїться Його й чинить праведність.
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].
Він слово послав для Ізраїлевих синів, благові́стячи мир через Ісуса Христа, що Госпо́дь Він усім.
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 справу, що по всій Юдеї була й зачала́сь з Галілеї, після хрищення, що Іван проповідував,
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.”
Ісуса, що був із Назаре́ту, як помазав Його Святим Духом і силою Бог. І ходив Він, добро чинячи й усіх уздоро́влюючи, кого поневолив диявол, бо Бог був із 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 свідки всьому, що́ Він учинив у Юдейському кра́ї та в Єрусалимі, — та вбили Його, на дереві повісивши.
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].
Але Бог воскресив Його третього дня, і дав Йому, щоб з'явився,
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 наро́дові, але наперед Богом вибраним свідкам, нам, що з Ним їли й пили, як воскрес Він із 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 Він нам звелів, щоб наро́дові ми проповідували та засві́дчили, що то Він є призначений Богом Суддя для живих і для мертвих.
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.”
Усі пророки свідку́ють про Нього, що кожен, хто вірує в Нього, одержить про́щення гріхів Його Йме́нням“.
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.
Як Петро говорив ще слова́ ці, зли́нув Святий Дух на всіх, хто слухав слова́.
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.
А обрі́зані віруючі, що з Петром прибули́, здивувалися дивом, що дар Духа Святого пролився також на пога́н!
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.
Бо чули вони, що мовами різними ті розмовляли та Бога звели́чували... Петро тоді відповів:
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 хто може заборонити христитись водою оцим, що оде́ржали Духа Святого, 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 охриститися їм у Йме́ння Ісуса Христа. Тоді просили його позостатися в них кілька днів.
