Apostolska dela 10
1 V Cezareji je bil nek mož, imenovan Kornelij, stotnik čete, imenovana itálska četa,
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2 predan mož in nekdo, ki se je z vso svojo hišo bal Boga, ki je ljudem dajal veliko miloščine in vedno molil k Bogu.
devout and fearing God with all his household, both giving alms generously to the people and praying to God about everything.
3 Okoli devete dnevne ure je v videnju jasno videl Božjega angela prihajati k njemu, rekoč mu: »Kornelij.«
About the ninth hour of the day, in a vision, he saw clearly an angel of God entering his presence and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4 In ko je pogledal nanj, je bil prestrašen in rekel: »Kaj je, Gospod?« On pa mu je rekel: »Tvoje molitve in tvoje miloščine so prišle gor v spomin pred Boga.
Well, staring at him and being frightened he said, “What is it, Lord?” So he said to him: “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.
5 In sedaj pošlji može v Jopo in pokliči nekega Simona, katerega vzdevek je Peter.
Now send men to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
6 Ta prenočuje pri nekem strojarju Simonu, čigar hiša je ob morski obali. On ti bo povedal, kaj moraš storiti.«
he is lodging with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
7 In ko je angel, ki je govoril Korneliju, odšel, je ta poklical dva izmed svojih hišnih služabnikov in predanega vojaka izmed teh, ki so nenehno čakali nanj
So when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who were faithful to him,
8 in ko jim je razglasil vse te stvari, jih je poslal v Jopo.
and explaining everything to them he sent them to Joppa.
9 Naslednji dan, ko so odšli na svoje potovanje in se približali mestu, se je Peter okoli šeste ure povzpel na hišno streho, da bi molil.
Now on the next day, as they were traveling and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
10 Postal pa je zelo lačen in bi želel jesti, toda medtem ko so pripravljali, je padel v zamaknjenje
Well he became hungry and wanted to eat; but while they were preparing, a trance fell on him,
11 in videl odprto nebo ter nekakšno posodo spuščati se k njemu, kot bi bil to velik pleten prt s štirimi vogali in se spuščal k zemlji,
and he saw the heaven opened and a container like a great sheet descending to him—it was tied at the four corners and was being let down to the earth—
12 v katerem so bile vse vrste štirinožnih zemeljskih živali in divjih zveri in plazečih stvari ter perjad neba.
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth (both wild animals and reptiles) and birds of the sky.
13 In do njega je prišel glas: »Vstani, Peter, zakolji in jej.«
Then a voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!”
14 Vendar je Peter rekel: »Ne tako, Gospod, kajti še nikoli nisem jedel česarkoli, kar je oskrunjeno ali nečisto.«
But Peter said: “No way, Lord! Never have I eaten anything ‘common’ or unclean!”
15 Glas pa mu je ponovno, drugič, rekel: »Kar je Bog očistil, tega ne imenuj oskrunjeno.«
So the voice came to him a second time, “What (pl) God has made clean you must not call ‘common’!”
16 To se je zgodilo trikrat in posoda je bila ponovno sprejeta gor v nebo.
Well this happened three times, and then the object was taken back up into the sky.
17 Torej medtem ko je bil Peter v sebi zaskrbljen, kaj bi to videnje, ki ga je videl, lahko pomenilo, glej, so možje, ki so bili poslani od Kornelija, povprašali po Simonovi hiši in stali pred velikimi vrati
Now as Peter was really perplexed within himself as to what the vision that he had seen might mean, well the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having inquired and found Simon's house, stood before the gate,
18 in zaklicali ter vprašali, ali je tam prenočeval Simon, ki je bil imenovan z vzdevkom Peter.
and calling out they inquired whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was staying there as a guest.
19 Medtem ko je Peter premišljeval o videnju, mu je Duh rekel: »Glej, trije možje te iščejo.
So as Peter was pondering the vision the Spirit said to him: “Listen, some men are looking for you;
20 Vstani torej in se spusti ter pojdi z njimi in nič ne dvomi, kajti jaz sem jih poslal.«
so get up and go downstairs; and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.”
21 Potem je Peter odšel dol k možem, ki so bili k njemu poslani od Kornelija in rekel: »Glejte, jaz sem ta, ki ga iščete. Kakšen je razlog, zaradi česar ste prišli?«
So going down to the men Peter said: “Yes, I am the one you are looking for. For what reason have you come?”
22 In rekli so: »Stotnik Kornelij, pravičen mož in nekdo, ki se boji Boga ter je na dobrem glasu med vsem judovskim narodom, je bil po svetem angelu od Boga obveščen, da pošlje v to hišo pote in da od tebe sliši besede.«
So they said: “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by an angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.”
23 Potem jih je poklical noter in jih prenočil. In naslednji dan je Peter z njimi odšel, spremljali pa so ga neki bratje iz Jope.
So he invited them in and put them up. The next day Peter set out with them, also some of the brothers from Joppa went with him;
24 In naslednji dan so vstopili v Cezarejo. In Kornelij jih je pričakoval ter sklical skupaj svoje sorodnike in bližnje prijatelje.
and the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and close friends.
25 In ko je Peter vstopil, ga je srečal Kornelij in padel dol k njegovim stopalom ter ga oboževal.
So when Peter actually arrived, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet and worshiped.
26 Vendar ga je Peter dvignil, rekoč: »Vstani, tudi jaz sem človek.«
But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
27 In medtem ko se je pogovarjal z njim, je vstopil ter našel mnoge, ki so bili zbrani skupaj.
And conversing with him he went in and found many gathered there.
28 In rekel jim je: »Vi veste, da je to nezakonita stvar za človeka, ki je Jud, da se druži ali pride k nekomu iz drugega naroda. Toda Bog mi je pokazal, da naj nobenega človeka ne imenujem oskrunjenega ali nečistega.
Then he said to them: “You know how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to associate with or to approach a different race; but God has shown me that I should not call any man ‘common’ or unclean.
29 Zato sem brez ugovarjanja prišel k vam takoj, ko sem bil poklican. Sprašujem torej, zaradi kakšnega namena ste poslali pome?«
Therefore also I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. So I ask, for what reason did you send for me?”
30 In Kornelij je rekel: »Pred štirimi dnevi sem se postil do te ure. In ob deveti uri sem v svoji hiši molil in glej, pred menoj je stal mož v svetlem oblačilu.
So Cornelius said: “I have been fasting during four days until this very hour; yes, it was the ninth hour, I was praying in my house when wow, a man stood before me in shining clothing
31 In rekel: ›Kornelij, tvoja molitev je uslišana in tvoje miloščine so v spominu v Božjih očeh.
and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms are remembered before God.
32 Pošlji torej v Jopo in pokliči sèm Simona, katerega vzdevek je Peter. Nastanjen je ob morski obali, v hiši nekega strojarja Simona. Ko ta pride, ti bo spregovoril.‹
Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea; upon arriving he will speak to you.’
33 Takoj sem torej poslal pote in dobro si storil, da si prišel. Sedaj smo torej mi vsi tukaj zbrani pred Bogom, da slišimo vse stvari, ki so ti zapovedane od Boga.«
So I sent to you at once, and you did well to come. Now then, we are all present before God to hear all the things commanded you by God.”
34 Tedaj je Peter odprl svoja usta in rekel: »Resnično zaznavam, da se Bog ne ozira na osebe,
So opening his mouth Peter said: “Really, I comprehend that God is not One to show partiality,
35 temveč je v vsakem narodu pri njem sprejet, kdor se ga boji in dela pravično.
but in every ethnic nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable to Him.
36 Besedo, ki jo je Bog poslal Izraelovim otrokom, ko je oznanjal mir po Jezusu Kristusu; (on je Gospod vsega),
The word that He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—
37 to besedo, pravim, vi poznate, ki je bila razglašena po vsej celotni Judeji in se začela iz Galileje, po krstu, ki ga je oznanjal Janez.
that spoken word you know, that was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached:
38 Kako je Bog s Svetim Duhom in z močjo mazilil Jezusa iz Nazareta, ki je hodil okoli, delal dobro in ozdravljal vse, ki so bili zatirani od hudiča, kajti Bog je bil z njim.
Jesus of Natsareth, how God anointed Him with Holy Spirit and power, who went about doing good and healing all those being oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him
39 In mi smo priče vseh stvari, ki jih je storil, tako v judovski deželi kakor v Jeruzalemu, ki so ga umorili in obesili na križ.
—yes, we are witnesses of all that He did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem—whom they also killed, hanging Him on a tree.
40 Njega je Bog tretji dan obudil in ga javno prikazal,
Him God raised on the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
41 ne vsem ljudem, temveč od Boga vnaprej izbranim pričam, celó nam, ki smo z njim jedli in pili potem, ko je vstal od mrtvih.
not to all the people but to witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with Him after He arose out from the dead.
42 In naročil nam je, naj oznanjamo ljudem in naj pričujemo, da je on tisti, ki je bil od Boga odrejen, da bo Sodnik živih in mrtvih.
And He ordered us to proclaim to the people, that is, to testify that He is the One who has been ordained by God as Judge of living and dead.
43 Njemu vsi preroki dajejo pričevanje, da bo po njegovem imenu, kdorkoli veruje vanj, prejel odpuščanje grehov.«
To Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes into Him will receive forgiveness of sins.”
44 Medtem ko je Peter še govoril te besede, je Sveti Duh padel na vse te, ki so slišali besedo.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were hearing the message.
45 In tisti iz obreze, ki so verovali, so bili osupli, kolikor jih je prišlo s Petrom, zato ker je bil dar Svetega Duha izlit tudi na pogane.
Well the believers of the circumcision [Jews] who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been poured out on the Gentiles,
46 Kajti slišali so jih govoriti z jeziki in poveličevati Boga. Potem je Peter odgovoril:
in that they heard them speaking languages and magnifying God. Then Peter responded:
47 »Ali more kdorkoli prepovedati vodo, da ti, ki so enako kakor mi, prejeli Svetega Duha, ne bi bili krščeni?«
“Surely no one can forbid the water, can he, that these should not be baptized who received the Holy Spirit just like we did?”
48 In naročil jim je, naj jih krstijo v Gospodovem imenu. Potem so ga prosili, naj ostane nekaj dni.
So he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
