Hechos 10
1 HABIA un varon en Cesaréa, llamado Cornelio, centurion de la compañía que se llamaba la Italiana,
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2 Pio, y temeroso de Dios con toda su casa, y que hacia muchas limosnas al pueblo, y oraba á Dios siempre.
a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
3 Este vió en vision manifiestamente como á la hora nona del dia, que un ángel de Dios entraba á él, y le decia: Cornelio.
At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4 Y él, puestos en él los ojos, espantado, dijo ¿Qué es, Señor? Y díjole: Tus oraciones y tus limosnas han subido en memoria á la presencia de Dios.
He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
5 Envia pues ahora hombres á Joppe y haz venir á un Simon, que tiene por sobrenombre Pedro.
Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
6 Este posa en casa de un Simon, curtidor, que tiene su casa junta á la mar: él te dirá lo que te conviene hacer.
He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
7 E ido el ángel que hablaba con Cornelio, llama dos de sus criados, y un devoto soldado de los que le asistian:
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
8 A los cuales, despues de habérselo contado todo, les envió á Joppe.
Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Y el dia siguiente, yendo ellos su camino, y llegando cerca de la ciudad, Pedro subió á la azotéa á orar, cerca de la hora de sexta.
Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
10 Y aconteció que le vino una grande hambre, y quiso comer: pero mientras [se lo] disponian, sobrevínole un éxtasi,
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11 Y vió el cielo abierto, y que descendia un vaso, como un gran lienzo, que atado de los cuatro cabos, era bajado á la tierra;
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
12 En el cual habia de todos los animales cuadrúpedos de la tierra, y reptiles^, y aves del cielo.
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
13 Y le vino una voz: Levántate, Pedro, mata y come.
A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
14 Entónces Pedro dijo: Señor, no; porque ninguna cosa comun é inmunda he comido jamás.
But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
15 Y volvió la voz hacia él la segunda vez: Lo que Dios limpió no [lo] llamas tú comun.
A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
16 Y esto fué hecho por tres veces; y el vaso volvió á ser recogido en el cielo.
This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
17 Y estando Pedro dudando dentro de sí, qué seria la vision que habia visto, hé aquí los hombres que habian sido enviados por Cornelio, que preguntando por la casa de Simon, llegaron á la puerta.
Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
18 Y llamando, preguntaron si un Simon, que tenia por sobrenombre Pedro, posaba allí.
and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
19 Y estando Pedro pensando en la vision, le dijo el Espíritu: Hé aquí tres hombres te buscan.
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
20 Levántate pues, y desciende, y no dudes ir con ellos; porque yo los he enviado.
But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
21 Entónces Pedro descendiendo á los hombres que eran enviados por Cornelio, dijo: Hé aquí, yo soy el que buscais: ¿qué [es] la causa por que habeis venido?
Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
22 Y ellos dijeron: Cornelio, el centurion, varon justo, y temeroso de Dios, y que tiene testimonio de toda la nacion de los Judíos, ha recibido respuesta por un santo ángel, de hacerte venir á su casa, y oir de tí palabras.
They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
23 Entónces metiéndoles dentro, los hospedó: y al dia siguiente levantándose se fué con ellos; y le acompañaron algunos de los hermanos de Joppe.
So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Y al otro dia entraron en Cesaréa. Y Cornelio les estaba esperando, habiendo llamado sus parientes y los amigos más familiares.
On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25 Y como Pedro entró, salió Cornelio á recibirle; y derribándose á sus piés, adoró.
When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 Mas Pedro le levantó, diciendo: Levántate: yo mismo tambien soy hombre.
But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
27 Y hablando con él, entró, y halló á muchos que se habian juntado.
As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
28 Y les dijo: Vosotros sabeis que es abominable á un varon Judío juntarse ó llegarse á extranjero; mas me ha mostrado Dios, que á ningun hombre llame comun ó inmundo.
He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
29 Por lo cual llamado, he venido sin dudar. Así que pregunto, ¿por qué causa me habeis hecho venir?
Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
30 Entónces Cornelio dijo: Cuatro dias ha que á esta hora yo estaba ayuno; ya la hora de nona estando orando en mi casa, hé aquí un varon se puso delante de mí en vestido resplandeciente,
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 Y dijo: Cornelio, tu oracion es oida, y tus limosnas han venido en memoria en la presencia de Dios.
and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
32 Envia pues á Joppe, y haz venir á un Simon, que tiene por sobrenombre Pedro; este posa en casa de Simon, un curtidor, junto á la mar, el cual venido te hablará.
Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
33 Así que, luego envié á tí; y tú has hecho bien en venir. Ahora, pues, todos nosotros estamos aquí en la presencia de Dios para oir todo lo que Dios te ha mandado.
Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
34 Entónces Pedro, abriendo su boca, dijo: Por verdad hallo que Dios no hace acepcion de personas,
Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
35 Sino que de cualquier nacion, que le teme y obra justicia, se agrada.
but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36 Envió palabra [Dios] á los hijos de Israel, anunciando la paz por Jesu-Cristo: este es el Señor de todos.
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
37 Vosotros sabeis lo que fué divulgado por toda Judéa, comenzando desde Galiléa, despues del bautismo que Juan predicó,
you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 [Cuanto] á Jesus de Nazaret; como le ungió Dios de Espíritu Santo y de potencia: el cual anduvo haciendo bienes, y sanando todos los oprimídos del diablo: porque Dios era con él.
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 Y nosotros somos testigos de todas las cosas que hizo en la tierra de Judéa, y en Jerusalem; al cual mataron colgándole en un madero.
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
40 A este levantó Dios al tercer dia, é hizo que apareciese manifiesto,
God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
41 No á todo el pueblo, sino á los testigos que Dios ántes habia ordenado, [es á saber, ] á nosotros, que comimos y bebimos con él, despues que resucitó de los muertos.
not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 Y nos mandó que predicásemos al pueblo, y testificásemos: Que él es el que Dios ha puesto por Juez de vivos y muertos.
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 A este dan testimonio todos los profetas, de que todos los que en el creyeren, recibirán perdon de pecados por su nombre.
All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
44 Estando aun hablando Pedro estas palabras, el Espíritu Santo cayó sobre todos los que oian el sermon.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
45 Y se espantaron los fieles que eran de la circuncision que habian venido con Pedro, de que tambien sobre los Gentiles se derramase el don del Espíritu Santo.
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
46 Porque los oian que hablaban en lenguas, y que magnificaban á Dios. Entónces respondió Pedro:
For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47 ¿Puede alguno impedir el agua para que no sean bautizados estos que han recibido el Espíritu Santo tambien como nosotros?
“Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
48 Y les mandó bautizar en el nombre del Señor Jesus. Entónces le rogaron que se quedase [con ellos] por algunos dias.
He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
