Mga Gawa 10
1 At may isang lalake nga sa Cesarea, na nagngangalang Cornelio, senturion ng pulutong na tinatawag na pulutong Italiano.
Now there was a certain man in the city of Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment.
2 Isang taong masipag sa kabanalan at matatakutin sa Dios siya at ang buong sangbahayan at naglimos ng marami sa mga tao, at laging nananalangin sa Dios.
He was a devout man, one who worshiped God with all his household; he gave much money to those in need, and he constantly prayed to God.
3 Nakita niyang maliwanag, sa isang pangitain, nang may oras na ikasiyam ng araw, na pumapasok na patungo sa kaniya ang isang anghel ng Dios, at nagsasabi sa kaniya, Cornelio.
About the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him. The angel said to him, “Cornelius!”
4 At siya, sa pagtitig niya sa kaniya, at sa pagkatakot niya, ay nagsabi, Ano ito, Panginoon? At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ang mga panalangin mo at ang iyong mga paglilimos ay nangapailanglang na isang alaala sa harapan ng Dios.
Cornelius stared at the angel and was very frightened and said, “What is it, sir?” The angel said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the poor have gone up as a memorial offering into God's presence.
5 At ngayo'y magsugo ka ng mga tao sa Joppe, at ipagsama mo yaong Simon, na may pamagat na Pedro;
Now send men to the city of Joppa to bring a man named Simon who is called Peter.
6 Siya'y nanunuluyan sa isa na Simong mangluluto ng balat, na ang kaniyang bahay ay nasa tabi ng dagat.
He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.”
7 At nang umalis ang anghel na sa kaniya'y nagsalita, ay tumawag siya ng dalawa sa kaniyang mga alila, at ng isang kawal na masipag sa kabanalan sa mga nagsisipaglingkod sa kaniyang parati;
When the angel who spoke to him had left, Cornelius called two of his house servants, and a devout soldier from among those who served him.
8 At nang maisaysay na sa kanila ang lahat ng mga bagay, sila'y sinugo niya sa Joppe.
Cornelius told them all that had happened and sent them to Joppa.
9 Nang kinabukasan nga samantalang sila'y patuloy sa kanilang paglalakad, at nang malapit na sa bayan, si Pedro ay umakyat sa ibabaw ng bahay upang manalangin, nang may oras na ikaanim;
Now on the next day at about the sixth hour, as they were on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray.
10 At siya'y nagutom at nagnais kumain: datapuwa't samantalang nangaghahanda sila, ay nawalan siya ng diwa;
He then became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the people were cooking some food, he was given a vision,
11 At nakita niyang bukas ang langit, at may isang sisidlang bumababa, gaya ng isang malapad na kumot, na nakabitin sa apat na panulok na bumababa sa lupa:
and he saw the sky open and a certain container descending, something like a large sheet coming down to the earth, let down by its four corners.
12 Na doo'y naroroon ang lahat ng uri ng mga hayop na may apat na paa at ang mga nagsisigapang sa lupa at ang mga ibon sa langit.
In it were all kinds of four-footed animals and things that crawled on the earth, and birds of the sky.
13 At dumating sa kaniya ang isang tinig, Magtindig ka, Pedro; magpatay ka at kumain.
Then a voice spoke to him: “Rise, Peter, kill and eat.”
14 Datapuwa't sinabi ni Pedro, Hindi maaari, Panginoon; sapagka't kailan ma'y hindi ako kumain ng anomang bagay na marumi at karumaldumal.
But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that was defiled and unclean.”
15 At muling dumating sa kaniya ang tinig sa ikalawa, Ang nilinis ng Dios, ay huwag mong ipalagay na marumi.
But the voice came to him again a second time: “What God has cleansed, do not call it defiled.”
16 At ito'y nangyaring makaitlo: at pagdaka'y binatak sa langit ang sisidlan.
This happened three times; then the container was immediately taken back up into the sky.
17 Samantalang natitilihang totoo si Pedro sa kaniyang sarili, kung ano ang kahulugan ng pangitaing kaniyang nakita, narito, ang mga taong sinugo ni Cornelio, nang maipagtanong ang bahay ni Simon, ay nangagsitayo sa harapan ng pintuan.
Now while Peter was very confused about what the vision that he had seen could mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius stood before the gate, after they had asked their way to the house.
18 At nangagsitawag at nangagtanong kung si Simon, na pinamagatang Pedro, ay nanunuluyan doon.
They called out and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was staying there.
19 At samantalang iniisip ni Pedro ang tungkol sa pangitain, ay sinabi sa kaniya ng Espiritu, Narito, hinahanap ka ng tatlong tao.
While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
20 Datapuwa't magtindig ka, at manaog ka, at sumama ka sa kanila, na huwag kang magalinlangan ng anoman: sapagka't sila'y aking sinugo.
Arise and go down and go with them. Do not hesitate to go with them, because I have sent them.”
21 At pinanaog ni Pedro ang mga tao, at sinabi, Narito, ako ang hinahanap ninyo: ano baga ang dahil ng inyong ipinarito?
So Peter went down to the men and said, “I am he whom you are seeking. Why have you come?”
22 At sinabi nila, Ang senturiong si Cornelio, na taong matuwid at matatakutin sa Dios, at may mabuting patotoo ng buong bansa ng mga Judio, ay pinagpaunawaan ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng isang banal na anghel na ikaw ay paparoonin sa kaniyang bahay, at upang makarinig sa iyo ng mga salita.
They said, “A centurion named Cornelius, a righteous man and one who worships God, and is well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was told by a holy angel of God to send for you to come to his house, so he could listen to a message from you.”
23 Kaya't sila'y pinapasok at pinatuloy sila. At nang kinabukasa'y nagbangon siya at umalis na kasama nila, at siya'y sinamahan ng ilang kapatid na mula sa Joppe.
So Peter invited them to come in and stay with him. On the next morning he got up and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 At nang kinabukasa'y nagsipasok sila sa Cesarea. At sila'y hinihintay ni Cornelio, na tinipon nito ang kaniyang kamaganakan at ang kaniyang mga kaibigang minamahal.
On the following day they came to Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them; he had called together his relatives and his close friends.
25 At nangyari, na pagpasok ni Pedro, ay sinalubong siya ni Cornelio, at nagpatirapa sa kaniyang paanan, at siya'y sinamba.
It came about that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet to worship him.
26 Datapuwa't itinindig siya ni Pedro, na sinasabi, Magtindig ka; ako man ay tao rin.
But Peter helped him up, saying, “Stand up! I too am a man.”
27 At sa pakikipagsalitaan niya sa kaniya, ay pumasok siya, at kaniyang naratnan ang maraming nangagkakatipon:
While Peter was talking with him, he went in and found many people gathered together.
28 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Nalalaman ninyo na hindi matuwid sa isang taong Judio na makisama lumapit sa isang taga ibang bansa; at gayon ma'y ipinakilala sa akin ng Dios, na sinomang tao'y huwag kong tawaging marumi o karumaldumal:
He said to them, “You yourselves know that it is not lawful for a Jewish man to associate with or to visit someone from another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man defiled or unclean.
29 Dahil din dito'y naparito akong hindi tumutol ng anoman, nang ako'y ipasundo. Itinatanong ko nga kung sa anong kadahilanan ipinasundo ninyo ako.
That is why I came without arguing, when I was sent for. So I ask you why you sent for me.”
30 At sinabi ni Cornelio, May apat nang araw, hanggang sa oras na ito, na aking ginaganap ang pananalangin sa oras na ikasiyam sa bahay ko; at narito, tumindig sa harapan ko ang isang lalake na may pananamit na nagniningning,
Cornelius said, “Four days ago at this very hour, I was praying at the ninth hour in my house; and see, a man stood before me in bright clothing.
31 At sinabi, Cornelio, dininig ang dalangin mo, at ang iyong mga paglilimos ay inaalaala sa paningin ng Dios.
He said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard by God, and your gifts to the poor have reminded God about you.
32 Magsugo ka nga sa Joppe, at ipatawag mo si Simon, na pinamagatang Pedro; siya'y nanunuluyan sa bahay ni Simong mangluluto ng balat, na nasa tabi ng dagat.
So send someone to Joppa, and call to you a man named Simon who is called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside.'
33 Pagdaka nga'y nagsugo ako sa iyo; at mabuti ang ginawa mo't naparito ka. Ngayon nga'y kaming lahat ay nangaririto sa paningin ng Dios, upang dinggin ang lahat ng mga bagay na sa iyo'y ipinagutos ng Panginoon.
So at once I sent for you. You are kind to have come. Now then, we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear everything that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”
34 At binuka ni Pedro ang kaniyang bibig, at sinabi, Tunay ngang natatalastas ko na hindi nagtatangi ang Dios ng mga tao:
Then Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly, I perceive that God does not take anyone's side.
35 Kundi sa bawa't bansa siya na may takot sa kaniya, at gumagawa ng katuwiran, ay kalugodlugod sa kaniya.
Instead, in every nation anyone who worships and does righteous deeds is acceptable to him.
36 Ang salita na kaniyang ipinadala sa mga anak ni Israel, na ipinangangaral ang evangelio ng kapayapaan sa pamamagitan ni Jesucristo (siya'y Panginoon ng lahat: )
You know the message that he sent to the people of Israel, when he announced good news about peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all—
37 Talastas ninyo ang salitang ito na nahayag sa buong Judea, magbuhat sa Galilea, pagkatapos ng bautismo na ipinangaral ni Juan;
you yourselves know the events that took place, which occurred throughout all Judea, beginning in Galilee, after the baptism that John announced;
38 Sa makatuwid baga'y si Jesus na taga Nazaret, kung paanong siya'y pinahiran ng Dios ng Espiritu Santo at ng kapangyarihan: na naglilibot na gumagawa ng mabuti, at nagpapagaling sa lahat ng mga pinahihirapan ng diablo; sapagka't sumasa kaniya ang Dios.
the events concerning Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 At mga saksi kami sa lahat ng mga bagay na ginawa niya sa lupain ng mga Judio, at sa Jerusalem; na siya nama'y kanilang pinatay, na siya'y ibinitin sa isang punong kahoy.
We are witnesses of all the things Jesus did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a tree,
40 Siya'y muling binuhay ng Dios nang ikatlong araw, at siya'y itinalagang mahayag.
but God raised him up on the third day and caused him to be seen,
41 Hindi sa buong bayan, kundi sa mga saksi na hinirang ng Dios nang una, sa makatuwid baga'y sa amin, na nagsikain at nagsiinom na kasalo niya, pagkatapos na siya'y muling mabuhay sa mga patay.
not by all the people, but to the witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 At sa ami'y ipinagbilin niya na magsipangaral kami sa bayan, at saksihan na siya ang itinalaga ng Dios na maging Hukom ng mga buhay at ng mga patay.
He commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify that this is the one who has been chosen by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 Siya ang pinatotohanan ng lahat ng mga propeta, na ang bawa't sumasampalataya sa kaniya ay magkakamit ng kapatawaran sa mga kasalanan sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang pangalan.
It is to him that all the prophets bear witness, so that everyone who believes in him shall receive forgiveness of sins through his name.”
44 Samantalang nagsasalita pa si Pedro ng mga salitang ito, ay bumaba ang Espiritu Santo sa lahat ng nangakikinig ng salita.
While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all of those who were listening to his message.
45 At silang sa pagtutuli na nagsisampalataya ay nangamanghang lahat na nagsiparoong kasama ni Pedro, sapagka't ibinuhos din naman sa mga Gentil ang kaloob na Espiritu Santo.
The people who belonged to the circumcision group of believers—all of those who came with Peter—were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out also on the Gentiles.
46 Sapagka't nangarinig nilang nangagsasalita ang mga ito ng mga wika, at nangagpupuri sa Dios. Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Pedro,
For they heard these Gentiles speak in other languages and praising God. Then Peter answered,
47 Mangyayari bagang hadlangan ng sinoman ang tubig, upang huwag mangabautismuhan itong mga nagsitanggap ng Espiritu Santo na gaya naman natin?
“Can anyone keep water from these people so they should not be baptized, these people who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?”
48 At inutusan niya sila na magsipagbautismo sa pangalan ni Jesucristo. Nang magkagayo'y kanilang ipinamanhik sa kaniya na matirang mga ilang araw.
Then he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay with them for several days.
