Acts 10
1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in the regiment known as the ‘Italian Regiment,’
V Cezareji je bil nek mož, imenovan Kornelij, stotnik čete, imenovana itálska četa,
2 A religious man and one who reverenced God, with all his household. He was liberal in his charities to the people, and prayed to God constantly.
predan mož in nekdo, ki se je z vso svojo hišo bal Boga, ki je ljudem dajal veliko miloščine in vedno molil k Bogu.
3 One afternoon, about three o’clock, he distinctly saw in a vision an angel from God come to him, and call him by name.
Okoli devete dnevne ure je v videnju jasno videl Božjega angela prihajati k njemu, rekoč mu: »Kornelij.«
4 Cornelius fixed his eyes on him and, in great alarm, said, “What is it, Lord?” “Your prayers and your charities,” the angel answered, “have been an acceptable offering to God.
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.
5 And now, send messengers to Joppa and fetch a man called Simon, who is also known as Peter.
In sedaj pošlji može v Jopo in pokliči nekega Simona, katerega vzdevek je Peter.
6 He is lodging with a tanner named Simon, who has a house near the sea.”
Ta prenočuje pri nekem strojarju Simonu, čigar hiša je ob morski obali. On ti bo povedal, kaj moraš storiti.«
7 When the angel, who had spoken to him, had gone, Cornelius called two servants and a religious soldier, who was one of his constant attendants,
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
8 and, after telling them the whole story, sent them to Joppa.
in ko jim je razglasil vse te stvari, jih je poslal v Jopo.
9 On the next day, while these men were on their way, just as they were nearing the town, Peter went up on the housetop about midday to pray.
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.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat; but while it was being prepared, he fell into a trance,
Postal pa je zelo lačen in bi želel jesti, toda medtem ko so pripravljali, je padel v zamaknjenje
11 and saw that the heavens were open, and that something like a great sail was descending, let down by its four corners towards the earth.
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,
12 In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles, and birds.
v katerem so bile vse vrste štirinožnih zemeljskih živali in divjih zveri in plazečih stvari ter perjad neba.
13 Then he was aware of a voice which said – “Stand up, Peter, kill something, and eat.”
In do njega je prišel glas: »Vstani, Peter, zakolji in jej.«
14 “No, Lord, I cannot,” answered Peter, “for I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”
Vendar je Peter rekel: »Ne tako, Gospod, kajti še nikoli nisem jedel česarkoli, kar je oskrunjeno ali nečisto.«
15 Again he was aware of a voice which said – “What God has pronounced clean, do not regard as defiled.”
Glas pa mu je ponovno, drugič, rekel: »Kar je Bog očistil, tega ne imenuj oskrunjeno.«
16 This happened three times, and then suddenly it was all taken up into the heavens.
To se je zgodilo trikrat in posoda je bila ponovno sprejeta gor v nebo.
17 While Peter was still perplexed as to the meaning of the vision that he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius, having enquired the way to Simon’s house, came up to the gate,
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
18 and called out and asked if the Simon, who was also known as Peter, was lodging there.
in zaklicali ter vprašali, ali je tam prenočeval Simon, ki je bil imenovan z vzdevkom Peter.
19 Peter was still pondering over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, “There are two men looking for you at this moment.
Medtem ko je Peter premišljeval o videnju, mu je Duh rekel: »Glej, trije možje te iščejo.
20 Go down at once and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”
Vstani torej in se spusti ter pojdi z njimi in nič ne dvomi, kajti jaz sem jih poslal.«
21 Peter went down to the men and said, “I am the person you are looking for. What is your reason for coming?”
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?«
22 The men replied, “Our centurion, Cornelius, a pious man who reverences God and is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, has been instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to listen to what you have to say.”
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.«
23 So Peter invited them in and entertained them. The next day he lost no time in setting out with them, accompanied by some of the Lord’s followers from Joppa;
Potem jih je poklical noter in jih prenočil. In naslednji dan je Peter z njimi odšel, spremljali pa so ga neki bratje iz Jope.
24 and the day following he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them, and had invited his relatives and intimate friends to meet them.
In naslednji dan so vstopili v Cezarejo. In Kornelij jih je pričakoval ter sklical skupaj svoje sorodnike in bližnje prijatelje.
25 So, when Peter entered the city, Cornelius met him, and, throwing himself at Peter’s feet, bowed to the ground.
In ko je Peter vstopil, ga je srečal Kornelij in padel dol k njegovim stopalom ter ga oboževal.
26 Peter, however, lifted him up, saying as he did so, “Stand up, I am only human like yourself.”
Vendar ga je Peter dvignil, rekoč: »Vstani, tudi jaz sem človek.«
27 Talking with him as he went, Peter entered the house, where he found a large gathering of people, to whom he said,
In medtem ko se je pogovarjal z njim, je vstopil ter našel mnoge, ki so bili zbrani skupaj.
28 “You are doubtless aware that it is forbidden for a Jew to be intimate with a foreigner, or even to enter his house; and yet God has shown me that I ought not to call anyone defiled or unclean.
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.
29 That was why I came, when I was sent for, without raising any objection. And now I ask your reason for sending for me.”
Zato sem brez ugovarjanja prišel k vam takoj, ko sem bil poklican. Sprašujem torej, zaradi kakšnega namena ste poslali pome?«
30 “Just three days ago this very hour,” Cornelius said, “I was in my house, saying the Afternoon Prayers, when a man in dazzling clothing suddenly stood before me.
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.
31 ‘Cornelius,’ he said, ‘your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been accepted, by God.
In rekel: ›Kornelij, tvoja molitev je uslišana in tvoje miloščine so v spominu v Božjih očeh.
32 Therefore send to Joppa, and invite the Simon, who is also known as Peter, to come here. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea.’
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.‹
33 Accordingly I sent to you at once, and you have been so good as to come. And now we are all here in the presence of God, to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”
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.«
34 Then Peter began. “I see, beyond all doubt,” he said, “that God does not show partiality,
Tedaj je Peter odprl svoja usta in rekel: »Resnično zaznavam, da se Bog ne ozira na osebe,
35 but that in every nation he who reverences him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
temveč je v vsakem narodu pri njem sprejet, kdor se ga boji in dela pravično.
36 God has sent his message to the Israelites and told them, through Jesus Christ, the good news of peace – and Jesus is Lord of all!
Besedo, ki jo je Bog poslal Izraelovim otrokom, ko je oznanjal mir po Jezusu Kristusu; (on je Gospod vsega),
37 You yourselves know the story which spread through all Judea, how, beginning form Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed –
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.
38 the story, I mean, of Jesus of Nazareth, and how God consecrated him his Christ by enduing him with the Holy Spirit and with power; and how he went about doing good and curing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
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.
39 We are ourselves, too, witnesses to all that he did in Judea and in Jerusalem; yet they put him to death by hanging him on a cross!
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.
40 This Jesus God raised on the third day, and enabled him to appear,
Njega je Bog tretji dan obudil in ga javno prikazal,
41 not indeed to everyone, but to witnesses chosen beforehand by God – to us, who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.
ne vsem ljudem, temveč od Boga vnaprej izbranim pričam, celó nam, ki smo z njim jedli in pili potem, ko je vstal od mrtvih.
42 Further, God charged us to proclaim to the people, and solemnly affirm, that it is Jesus who has been appointed by God judge of the living and the dead.
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.
43 To him it is that all the prophets bear witness, when they say that everyone who believes in him receives through his name forgiveness of sins.”
Njemu vsi preroki dajejo pričevanje, da bo po njegovem imenu, kdorkoli veruje vanj, prejel odpuščanje grehov.«
44 Before Peter had finished saying these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the message.
Medtem ko je Peter še govoril te besede, je Sveti Duh padel na vse te, ki so slišali besedo.
45 Those converts from Judaism, who had come with Peter, were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been bestowed even on the Gentiles;
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.
46 for they heard them speaking in different languages and extolling God. At this Peter asked,
Kajti slišali so jih govoriti z jeziki in poveličevati Boga. Potem je Peter odgovoril:
47 “Can anyone refuse the water for the baptism of these people, now that they have received the Holy Spirit as we did ourselves?”
»Ali more kdorkoli prepovedati vodo, da ti, ki so enako kakor mi, prejeli Svetega Duha, ne bi bili krščeni?«
48 And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ; after which they asked him to stay there a few days longer.
In naročil jim je, naj jih krstijo v Gospodovem imenu. Potem so ga prosili, naj ostane nekaj dni.
