Acts 10
1 [There was] a man [who lived] in Caesarea [city] whose name was Cornelius. He was an officer who commanded 100 men in a large group of [Roman] soldiers from Italy.
Ja Kesareassa oli mies, nimeltä Kornelius, sadanpäämies niin kutsutussa italialaisessa sotaväenosastossa.
2 He always tried to do what would please God; he and his entire household [MTY] [were non-Jews who] habitually worshipped God. He sometimes gave money to help poor [Jewish] people, and he prayed to God regularly.
Hän oli hurskas ja Jumalaa pelkääväinen, niinkuin koko hänen perhekuntansakin, ja antoi paljon almuja kansalle ja rukoili alati Jumalaa.
3 [One day] at about three o’clock in the afternoon [Cornelius saw] a vision. He clearly saw an angel whom God [had sent]. The angel came into [his room] and said to him, “Cornelius!”
Hän näki selvästi näyssä, noin yhdeksännellä hetkellä päivästä, Jumalan enkelin, joka tuli sisään hänen tykönsä ja sanoi hänelle: "Kornelius!"
4 Cornelius stared at the angel and became terrified. Then he asked [fearfully], “Sir, what do you [(sg)] want?” The angel answered him, “You [(sg)] have pleased God because you have been praying [regularly to him] and you often give money to [help] poor people. [Those things have been] like a sacrifice [to God].
Tämä loi katseensa häneen ja sanoi peljästyneenä: "Mikä on, Herra?" Enkeli sanoi hänelle: "Sinun rukouksesi ja almusi ovat tulleet muistoon Jumalan edessä.
5 So, now command some men to go to Joppa and [tell them to] bring back a man named Simon whose other name is Peter.
Niin lähetä nyt miehiä Joppeen noutamaan eräs Simon, jota myös Pietariksi kutsutaan;
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
hän majailee nahkuri Simonin luona, jonka talo on meren rannalla."
7 When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had gone, Cornelius summoned two of his household servants and a soldier who served him, one who also worshipped God.
Ja kun enkeli, joka Korneliusta puhutteli, oli mennyt pois, kutsui tämä kaksi palvelijaansa ja hurskaan sotamiehen uskollisimpiensa joukosta
8 He explained to them everything [that the angel had said. Then] he told them to go to Joppa [to ask Peter to come to Caesarea].
ja kertoi heille kaikki ja lähetti heidät Joppeen.
9 About noon the next day those [three men] were traveling [along the road] and were coming near [Joppa. As they were approaching Joppa], Peter went up on the [flat] housetop to pray.
Ja seuraavana päivänä, kun he olivat matkalla ja lähestyivät kaupunkia, nousi Pietari noin kuudennen hetken vaiheilla katolle rukoilemaan.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
Ja hänen tuli nälkä, ja hän halusi ruokaa. Mutta sitä valmistettaessa hän joutui hurmoksiin.
11 (He saw heaven open/He saw an opening in the sky) and something like a large sheet was being lowered [to the ground]. [It was tied at] its four corners [with ropes].
Ja hän näki taivaan avoinna ja tulevan alas astian, ikäänkuin suuren liinavaatteen, joka neljästä kulmastaan laskettiin maahan.
12 Inside the sheet were all kinds of creatures. [These included animals and birds that the Mosaic laws forbade Jews to eat]. Some had four feet, others scurried across the ground, and others were wild birds.
Ja siinä oli kaikkinaisia maan nelijalkaisia ja matelijoita ja taivaan lintuja.
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
Ja tuli ääni, joka sanoi hänelle: "Nouse, Pietari, teurasta ja syö".
14 But Peter replied, “Lord, surely you [(sg)] do not [really want me to do that]! I have never eaten any [meat] that [our Jewish law says] is unacceptable to God or [something that we(exc)] must not eat!”
Mutta Pietari sanoi: "En suinkaan, Herra; sillä en minä ole ikinä syönyt mitään epäpyhää enkä saastaista".
15 [Then Peter heard] [MTY] God talk to him a second time. He said, “[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!”
Ja taas ääni sanoi hänelle toistamiseen: "Minkä Jumala on puhdistanut, sitä älä sinä sano epäpyhäksi".
16 [This happened] three [times, so Peter knew that he had to think carefully about what it might mean]. Immediately [after God had said that the third time], ([the] sheet [with the animals and birds] was the pulled back into heaven/[someone] pulled the sheet [with the animals and birds] up into the sky again).
Tämä tapahtui kolme kertaa; sitten astia otettiin kohta ylös taivaaseen.
17 While Peter was trying to understand what that vision meant, the men who had been sent by Cornelius {whom Cornelius had sent} [arrived in Joppa. They asked people how to get to] Simon’s house. [So they found his house] and were standing outside the gate.
Ja kun Pietari oli epätietoinen siitä, mitä hänen näkemänsä näky mahtoi merkitä, niin katso, ne miehet, jotka Kornelius oli lähettänyt ja jotka kyselemällä olivat löytäneet Simonin talon, seisoivat portilla
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
ja tiedustelivat kuuluvalla äänellä, majailiko siellä Simon, jota myös Pietariksi kutsuttiin.
19 While Peter was still trying to understand [what] the vision [meant], [God’s] Spirit said to him, “Three men [are here who] want to see you.
Kun Pietari yhä mietti tuota näkyä, sanoi Henki hänelle: "Katso, kaksi miestä etsii sinua;
20 So get up and go downstairs and go with them! Do not think that you [(sg)] should not go with them [because of their being non-Jews], because I have sent them [here]!”
niin nouse nyt, astu alas ja mene arvelematta heidän kanssaan, sillä minä olen heidät lähettänyt".
21 So Peter went down to the men and said to them, “[Greetings!] I am [the man] you are looking for. Why have you come?”
Niin Pietari meni alas miesten tykö ja sanoi: "Katso, minä olen se, jota te etsitte; mitä varten te olette tulleet?"
22 One of them replied, “Cornelius, who is a [Roman] army officer, [sent us here]. He is a righteous man who worships God, and all of the Jewish people [HYP] [who know about him] say that he is a very good man. An angel (who was sent from God/whom God sent) said to him, ‘Tell some men to [go to Joppa to see Simon Peter and] bring him here, so that you [(sg)] can hear what he has to say.’”
He sanoivat: "Sadanpäämies Kornelius, hurskas ja Jumalaa pelkääväinen mies, josta koko Juudan kansa todistaa hyvää, on pyhältä enkeliltä ilmestyksessä saanut käskyn haettaa sinut kotiinsa ja kuulla, mitä sinulla on sanottavaa".
23 So Peter [said that he would go with them, and then he] invited them into [the house] and told them that they could stay [there that night]. Acts 10:23b-26 The next day Peter got ready and went with the men. Several of the believers from Joppa went with him.
Niin hän kutsui heidät sisään ja piti heitä vierainansa. Seuraavana päivänä Pietari nousi ja lähti heidän kanssaan, ja muutamat veljet Joppesta seurasivat hänen mukanaan.
24 The day after that, they arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them. He had also invited his relatives and close friends [to come to his house, so they were there, too].
Ja sen jälkeisenä päivänä he saapuivat Kesareaan; ja Kornelius odotti heitä ja oli kutsunut koolle sukulaisensa ja lähimmät ystävänsä.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
Ja kun Pietari oli astumassa sisään, meni Kornelius häntä vastaan, lankesi hänen jalkojensa juureen ja kumartui maahan.
26 But Peter [grasped Cornelius by the hand and] lifted him to his feet. He said, “Stand up! [Do not revere/worship me] I myself am only human, [like you]!”
Mutta Pietari nosti hänet ylös sanoen: "Nouse; minäkin olen ihminen".
27 While he was talking to Cornelius, Peter [and the others] entered [a large room inside the house]. Peter saw that many people had gathered together [there].
Ja puhellen hänen kanssaan hän meni sisään ja tapasi monta koolla.
28 Then Peter said to them, “You all know that any [of us] Jews think we are disobeying [our Jewish] laws if we [(exc)] associate with a non-Jewish person or [if we even] visit him. However, God has shown me [in a vision] that I should not say about anyone that God will not accept him.
Ja hän sanoi heille: "Te tiedätte, että on luvatonta juutalaisen miehen seurustella vierasheimoisen kanssa tai mennä hänen tykönsä; mutta minulle Jumala on osoittanut, etten saa sanoa ketään ihmistä epäpyhäksi enkä saastaiseksi.
29 So when you sent [some men] to ask me to come [here], I came [right away. I] did not say that I could not go [with non-Jewish people. So, please tell me], why have you asked me to come [here]?”
Sentähden minä vastaansanomatta tulinkin, kun minua noudettiin. Ja nyt minä kysyn: mitä varten te olette minut noutaneet?"
30 Cornelius replied, “About this time four days ago I was praying [to God] in my house, [as I regularly do] at three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man whose clothes [shone] brightly stood in front of me,
Ja Kornelius sanoi: "Neljä päivää sitten, juuri tähän aikaan päivästä, minä kotonani rukoilin tällä yhdeksännellä hetkellä, ja katso, edessäni seisoi mies loistavissa vaatteissa
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, when you [(sg)] have prayed, you have been heard by God {God has heard [when] you [(sg)] have prayed [to him]}. He has also noticed that you have [often] given money to [help] poor people, [and he is pleased with that].
ja sanoi: 'Kornelius, sinun rukouksesi on kuultu, ja sinun almusi ovat tulleet muistoon Jumalan edessä.
32 So now, send [messengers to go] to Joppa, [in order] to ask Simon whose other name is Peter to come [here]. He is staying near the ocean in a house that belongs to [another] man named Simon, who makes leather. [When Simon Peter comes, he will tell you a message from God].’
Niin lähetä nyt Joppeen ja kutsu tykösi Simon, jota myös Pietariksi kutsutaan; hän majailee nahkuri Simonin talossa meren rannalla.'
33 So I immediately sent [some men who asked] you [(sg) to come here], and I [certainly] thank you for coming. Now we [(exc)] all are gathered [here, knowing that] God is with us, in order to hear all the things that the Lord [God] has commanded you [to say. So please speak to us].”
Sentähden minä lähetin heti sinulle sanan, ja sinä teit hyvin, kun tulit. Nyt olemme siis tässä kaikki Jumalan edessä, kuullaksemme kaiken, mitä Herra on käskenyt sinun puhua."
34 So Peter began to speak [MTY] to them. He said, “[Now] I understand that it is true that God does not favor only certain groups [of people].
Niin Pietari avasi suunsa ja sanoi: "Nyt minä totisesti käsitän, ettei Jumala katso henkilöön,
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
vaan että jokaisessa kansassa se, joka häntä pelkää ja tekee vanhurskautta, on hänelle otollinen.
36 [You know] the message that God sent to [us] Israelis. [He] proclaimed [to us the good news that he] would cause [people] to have peace [with him] because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. This [Jesus is Lord not only over us Israelis. He] is [also the] Lord [who rules] over all [people].
Sen sanan, jonka hän lähetti Israelin lapsille, julistaen evankeliumia rauhasta Jeesuksessa Kristuksessa, joka on kaikkien Herra,
37 You know what [he] did throughout the land of Judea, beginning in Galilee. He began [to do those things] after John had been proclaiming [to people that they should turn away from their sinful behavior before] he baptized them.
sen sanan, joka lähtien Galileasta on levinnyt koko Juudeaan, sen kasteen jälkeen, jota Johannes saarnasi, sen te tiedätte;
38 You know that God gave [MTY] his Holy Spirit to Jesus, [the Man] from Nazareth [town], and gave him the power [to do miracles. You also know] how Jesus went to many places, always doing good deeds and healing [people. Specifically], he was continually healing all the people whom the devil was causing to suffer. [Jesus was able to do those things] because God was always helping him.”
te tiedätte, kuinka Jumala Pyhällä Hengellä ja voimalla oli voidellut Jeesuksen Nasaretilaisen, hänet, joka vaelsi ympäri ja teki hyvää ja paransi kaikki perkeleen valtaan joutuneet; sillä Jumala oli hänen kanssansa.
39 “We [apostles] tell people about all the things that [we saw Jesus] do in Jerusalem and in the [rest of] Israel. [The leaders in Jerusalem] had him killed by being nailed to a cross.
Ja me olemme kaiken sen todistajat, mitä hän teki juutalaisten maassa ja Jerusalemissa; ja hänet he ripustivat puuhun ja tappoivat.
40 However, God caused him to become alive again on the third day [after he had died]. God [also] enabled [some of us(exc)] to see him [so that we would know that he was alive again].
Hänet Jumala herätti kolmantena päivänä ja antoi hänen ilmestyä,
41 God [did] not [let] all the [Jewish] people see him. Instead, he had chosen us [apostles] beforehand to see [Jesus after he became alive again], and to tell others [about him]. We [apostles are the people] who ate meals with him (after he had become alive [again]/after he had risen from the dead).
ei kaikelle kansalle, vaan Jumalan ennen valitsemille todistajille, meille, jotka söimme ja joimme hänen kanssaan sen jälkeen, kuin hän oli kuolleista noussut.
42 God commanded us to preach to the people and tell them that Jesus is the one whom he has appointed to judge [everyone some day. He will judge all] those who will [still] be living and all those who will have died [by that time].
Ja hän käski meidän saarnata kansalle ja todistaa, että hän on se, jonka Jumala on asettanut elävien ja kuolleitten tuomariksi.
43 All of the prophets [who wrote about the Messiah long ago] told [people] about him. [They wrote] that if people believe in the Messiah [MTY], God would forgive [them for] their sins, because of what [the Messiah would do] for them.”
Hänestä kaikki profeetat todistavat, että jokainen, joka uskoo häneen, saa synnit anteeksi hänen nimensä kautta."
44 While Peter was still speaking those words, suddenly the Holy Spirit (came down on/began to control) all [those non-Jewish people] who were listening to the message.
Kun Pietari vielä näitä puhui, tuli Pyhä Henki kaikkien päälle, jotka puheen kuulivat.
45 The Jewish believers who had come with Peter [from Joppa] were amazed that [God] had generously given the Holy Spirit to the non-Jewish people, too.
Ja kaikki ne uskovaiset, jotka olivat ympärileikatut ja olivat tulleet Pietarin mukana, hämmästyivät sitä, että Pyhän Hengen lahja vuodatettiin pakanoihinkin,
46 [The Jewish believers knew that God had done that] because they were hearing those people speaking languages [MTY] [that they had not learned] and telling how great God is.
sillä he kuulivat heidän puhuvan kielillä ja ylistävän Jumalaa. Silloin Pietari vastasi:
47 Then Peter said [to the other Jewish believers who were there], “[God] has given them the Holy Spirit just like [he gave him] to us [Jewish believers], so (surely all of you would agree that [we(exc)] should baptize these people!/would any of you forbid that these people should be baptized?) [RHQ]”
"Ei kaiketi kukaan voi kieltää kastamasta vedellä näitä, jotka ovat saaneet Pyhän Hengen niinkuin mekin?"
48 Then Peter told those [non-Jewish] people that they should be baptized [to show that they had believed] [MTY] in the [Lord] Jesus Christ. [So they baptized all of them. After they were baptized], they requested that Peter stay [with them] several days. [So Peter and the other Jewish believers did that].
Ja hän käski kastaa heidät Jeesuksen Kristuksen nimeen. Silloin he pyysivät häntä viipymään siellä muutamia päiviä.
