Apostolska dela 10
1 V Cezareji je bil nek mož, imenovan Kornelij, stotnik čete, imenovana itálska četa,
There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
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.
[A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3 Okoli devete dnevne ure je v videnju jasno videl Božjega angela prihajati k njemu, rekoč mu: »Kornelij.«
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto 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.
And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 In sedaj pošlji može v Jopo in pokliči nekega Simona, katerega vzdevek je Peter.
And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 Ta prenočuje pri nekem strojarju Simonu, čigar hiša je ob morski obali. On ti bo povedal, kaj moraš storiti.«
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
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
And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 in ko jim je razglasil vse te stvari, jih je poslal v Jopo.
And when he had declared all [these] things unto 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.
On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 Postal pa je zelo lačen in bi želel jesti, toda medtem ko so pripravljali, je padel v zamaknjenje
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
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 saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 v katerem so bile vse vrste štirinožnih zemeljskih živali in divjih zveri in plazečih stvari ter perjad neba.
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 In do njega je prišel glas: »Vstani, Peter, zakolji in jej.«
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 Vendar je Peter rekel: »Ne tako, Gospod, kajti še nikoli nisem jedel česarkoli, kar je oskrunjeno ali nečisto.«
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 Glas pa mu je ponovno, drugič, rekel: »Kar je Bog očistil, tega ne imenuj oskrunjeno.«
And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
16 To se je zgodilo trikrat in posoda je bila ponovno sprejeta gor v nebo.
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
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 while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,
18 in zaklicali ter vprašali, ali je tam prenočeval Simon, ki je bil imenovan z vzdevkom Peter.
And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 Medtem ko je Peter premišljeval o videnju, mu je Duh rekel: »Glej, trije možje te iščejo.
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Vstani torej in se spusti ter pojdi z njimi in nič ne dvomi, kajti jaz sem jih poslal.«
Arise therefore, and get thee down, 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?«
Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause wherefore ye are 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.«
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
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.
Then called he them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 In naslednji dan so vstopili v Cezarejo. In Kornelij jih je pričakoval ter sklical skupaj svoje sorodnike in bližnje prijatelje.
And the morrow after they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 In ko je Peter vstopil, ga je srečal Kornelij in padel dol k njegovim stopalom ter ga oboževal.
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped [him].
26 Vendar ga je Peter dvignil, rekoč: »Vstani, tudi jaz sem človek.«
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 In medtem ko se je pogovarjal z njim, je vstopil ter našel mnoge, ki so bili zbrani skupaj.
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
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.
And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed 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 came I [unto you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent 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.
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 In rekel: ›Kornelij, tvoja molitev je uslišana in tvoje miloščine so v spominu v Božjih očeh.
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of 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 call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of [one] Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
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.«
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
34 Tedaj je Peter odprl svoja usta in rekel: »Resnično zaznavam, da se Bog ne ozira na osebe,
Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 temveč je v vsakem narodu pri njem sprejet, kdor se ga boji in dela pravično.
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 Besedo, ki jo je Bog poslal Izraelovim otrokom, ko je oznanjal mir po Jezusu Kristusu; (on je Gospod vsega),
The word which [God] sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by 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 word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judæa, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which 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.
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for 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.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Njega je Bog tretji dan obudil in ga javno prikazal,
Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
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 unto witnesses chosen before of God, [even] to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose 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 commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God [to be] the Judge of quick and dead.
43 Njemu vsi preroki dajejo pričevanje, da bo po njegovem imenu, kdorkoli veruje vanj, prejel odpuščanje grehov.«
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 Medtem ko je Peter še govoril te besede, je Sveti Duh padel na vse te, ki so slišali besedo.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
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.
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 Kajti slišali so jih govoriti z jeziki in poveličevati Boga. Potem je Peter odgovoril:
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 »Ali more kdorkoli prepovedati vodo, da ti, ki so enako kakor mi, prejeli Svetega Duha, ne bi bili krščeni?«
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 In naročil jim je, naj jih krstijo v Gospodovem imenu. Potem so ga prosili, naj ostane nekaj dni.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
