Apostolska dela 10
1 V Cezareji je bil nek mož, imenovan Kornelij, stotnik čete, imenovana itálska četa,
Now there was a certain man at Cesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band: a pious man,
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.
and one that feared God, with all his house; giving also much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
3 Okoli devete dnevne ure je v videnju jasno videl Božjega angela prihajati k njemu, rekoč mu: »Kornelij.«
He evidently saw in a vision, 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 he looking earnestly at him, and being afraid, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up as 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 fetch hither one Simon, whose sirname 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 must 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
As soon as the angel, that spake to Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his domestic servants, and a devout soldier, that constantly attended him.
8 in ko jim je razglasil vse te stvari, jih je poslal v Jopo.
And when he had related all 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.
On the morrow, while they were on their journey, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the top of the house 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 was very hungry, and desired something to eat: but while they were getting it ready, he fell into a trance; and saw heaven opened,
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 some thing descending to him, like a great sheet tied 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.
in which were all kinds of four-footed creatures, 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 was a voice which said 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, By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing polluted or unclean.
15 Glas pa mu je ponovno, drugič, rekel: »Kar je Bog očistil, tega ne imenuj oskrunjeno.«
And the voice said to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, do not thou account polluted.
16 To se je zgodilo trikrat in posoda je bila ponovno sprejeta gor v nebo.
This was done thrice, and the vessel was taken 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 was doubting in himself what might be the meaning of the vision which he had seen, behold the men that were sent from Cornelius, having enquired for Simon's house, stood at the door;
18 in zaklicali ter vprašali, ali je tam prenočeval Simon, ki je bil imenovan z vzdevkom Peter.
and called, and asked, if Simon sirnamed Peter lodged there.
19 Medtem ko je Peter premišljeval o videnju, mu je Duh rekel: »Glej, trije možje te iščejo.
And as Peter was pondering upon the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold there are three men enquiring for thee:
20 Vstani torej in se spusti ter pojdi z njimi in nič ne dvomi, kajti jaz sem jih poslal.«
arise therefore and go down, and go along 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 that were sent to him from Cornelius, and said, Behold I am the person whom ye seek: what is the cause for which 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 righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of a good character among all the nation of the Jews, hath been warned from God by an holy angel, to send for thee to his house, and to hear what thou shalt say.
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 he invited them in, and entertained them that night. And on the morrow Peter set out with them; and some of the brethren 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 next day they came into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate friends.
25 In ko je Peter vstopil, ga je srečal Kornelij in padel dol k njegovim stopalom ter ga oboževal.
And as Peter came in, Cornelius met him, and falling down at his feet did him reverence.
26 Vendar ga je Peter dvignil, rekoč: »Vstani, tudi jaz sem človek.«
But Peter raised him up, saying, 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 was conversing with him, he went in, and found many assembled 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 unlawful it is for a man that is a Jew, to associate with or go to the house of one of another nation: but God hath shewn me, that I should not call any man polluted or unclean.
29 Zato sem brez ugovarjanja prišel k vam takoj, ko sem bil poklican. Sprašujem torej, zaradi kakšnega namena ste poslali pome?«
And therefore I came to you, when I was sent for, without demur. I ask therefore on what account ye 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 till this hour, and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, when behold a man stood before me in bright raiment,
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 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 call hither Simon, who is sirnamed Peter, (he lodgeth in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side, ) who when he cometh, will talk with 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 done well that thou art come. And now we are all here present before God, to hear all the things which God hath charged thee with to us.
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 acceptable to Him.
36 Besedo, ki jo je Bog poslal Izraelovim otrokom, ko je oznanjal mir po Jezusu Kristusu; (on je Gospod vsega),
According to the declaration which He made to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, who 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.
Ye know the report that was spread through all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached: concerning Jesus of Nazareth,
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 Him with the holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by 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 that He did, both in the country of Judea, and in the city of Jerusalem: whom notwithstanding they put to death, hanging Him on a tree.
40 Njega je Bog tretji dan obudil in ga javno prikazal,
Him God raised up the third day, and gave Him to be seen openly; not to all the people,
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.
but to witnesses before appointed by 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 who is appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the dead.
43 Njemu vsi preroki dajejo pričevanje, da bo po njegovem imenu, kdorkoli veruje vanj, prejel odpuščanje grehov.«
To Him do all the prophets bear witness, that whosoever believeth on Him shall receive the forgiveness of their sins through his name.
44 Medtem ko je Peter še govoril te besede, je Sveti Duh padel na vse te, ki so slišali besedo.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the holy Spirit fell upon all them that 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 those of the circumcision that were believers, who came with Peter, were astonished, that the gift of the holy Spirit was conferred upon the Gentiles also:
46 Kajti slišali so jih govoriti z jeziki in poveličevati Boga. Potem je Peter odgovoril:
for they heard them speaking in divers languages, and glorifying God.
47 »Ali more kdorkoli prepovedati vodo, da ti, ki so enako kakor mi, prejeli Svetega Duha, ne bi bili krščeni?«
Then said Peter, Can any one forbid water, that these persons should not be baptized, who have received the holy Spirit, 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 ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. And they desired him to stay there some days.
