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.
Volt pedig Cézáreában egy Kornéliusz nevű férfi, százados, az úgynevezett itáliai seregből.
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.
Jámbor és istenfélő volt egész házanépével együtt, sok alamizsnát osztogatott a népnek, és szüntelen könyörgött Istenhez.
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!”
Látomásban világosan látta, a napnak kilencedik órája körül, hogy az Istennek angyala bement hozzá, és ezt mondta néki: „Kornéliusz!“
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].
Ő pedig szemeit reá függesztette, és megrémülve mondta: „Mi az, Uram?“Ő pedig ezt mondta neki: „Könyörgéseid és alamizsnáid felmentek Isten elé, és ő emlékszik rájuk.
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.
Most azért küldj Joppéba embereket, és hivasd magadhoz Simont, akit Péternek neveznek.
6 He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
Ő egy Simon nevű tímárnál van megszállva, akinek háza a tenger mellett van. Ő megmondja neked, mit kell cselekedned.“
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.
Amint pedig elment az angyal, aki Kornéliusszal beszélt, szólított a szolgái közül kettőt, és egy kegyes vitézt azok közül, akik rendelkezésére álltak.
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].
Elmondott nekik mindent, és elküldte őket Joppéba.
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.
Másnap pedig, miközben ők az úton mentek, és a városhoz közeledtek, felment Péter a háznak felső részére imádkozni hat óra tájban.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
Azonban megéhezett, és enni akart. Amíg pedig azok ételt készítettek, elragadtatás szállt reá,
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].
és látta, hogy az ég megnyílt, és leszállt hozzá valami edény, mint egy nagy lepedő, négy sarkánál fogva felkötve és leeresztve a földre.
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.
Mindenféle földi négylábú állat volt benne, vadak, csúszómászó állatok és égi madarak.
13 Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
És szózat szólt hozzá: „Kelj fel Péter, öld és egyél!“
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!”
Péter pedig ezt mondta: „Semmiképpen sem, Uram, mert sohasem ettem semmi közönségest, vagy tisztátalant.“
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]!”
Ismét szózat szólt hozzá, másodszor is: „Amiket az Isten megtisztított, te ne mondd tisztátalanoknak.“
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).
Ez pedig három ízben történt, és ismét felvitetett az edény az égbe.
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.
Amint pedig Péter magában tűnődött, hogy mi lehet az a látomás, amelyet látott, íme, azok a férfiak, akiket Kornéliusz küldött, kérdezősködtek Simon háza után, odaérkeztek a kapuhoz,
18 They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
bekiáltottak, és megkérdezték, vajon Simon, akit Péternek neveznek, ott van-e szálláson?
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.
És amíg Péter a látomás felől gondolkodott, ezt mondta neki a Lélek: „Íme három férfiú keres téged:
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]!”
nosza kelj fel, eredj le, és minden kételkedés nélkül menj el velük, mert én küldtem őket.“
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?”
Lement tehát Péter a férfiakhoz, akiket Kornéliusz küldött hozzá, és ezt mondta: „Íme, én vagyok, akit kerestek. Mi az, amiért jöttetek?“
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.’”
Ők pedig ezt mondták: „Kornéliusz századost, aki igaz és istenfélő férfiú, aki mellett a zsidók egész népe jó bizonyságot tesz, szent angyal megintette, hogy hívasson téged házához, és halljon tőled bizonyos dolgokról.“
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.
Erre behívta őket, és szállására fogadta. Másnap pedig elment Péter velük, és a joppébeli testvérek közül is néhányan elmentek vele együtt.
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].
Másnap eljutottak Cézáreába. Kornéliusz pedig várta őket, összegyűjtötte rokonait és jó barátait.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
Amint Péter bement, Kornéliusz elébe ment, lábaihoz borult, és imádni akarta.
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]!”
Péter azonban felemelte, s ezt mondta: „Kelj fel, én magam is ember vagyok!“
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].
És beszélgetve, bement vele, és sokakat talált ott összegyűlve.
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.
És ezt mondta nekik: „Ti tudjátok, hogy tilos zsidó embernek más nemzetbelivel barátkozni, vagy hozzámenni. De nékem az Isten megmutatta, hogy senkit se mondjak közönséges, vagy tisztátalan embernek.
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]?”
Ezért ellenkezés nélkül el is jöttem, miután meghívtak. Azt kérdezem tehát, mi okból hivattatok engem?“
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,
Kornéliusz ekkor ezt mondta: „Négy napja ebben az órában, kilenc órakor böjtöltem, és imádkoztam a házamban, és íme, egy férfiú állt meg előttem fényes ruhában,
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].
és ezt mondta: Kornéliusz, a te imádságod meghallgatásra talált, és a te alamizsnáidra emlékezett az Isten.
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].’
Küldj el azért Joppéba, és hívasd magadhoz Simont, akit Péternek neveznek. Ő Simon tímár házában van szálláson a tenger mellett, s miután eljön, szólni fog neked.
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].”
Ezért azonnal elküldtem hozzád, és te jól tetted, hogy eljöttél. Most azért mi mindnyájan az Isten előtt állunk, hogy meghallgassuk mindazokat, amiket Isten neked parancsolt.“
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].
Péter pedig megnyitotta száját, és ezt mondta: „Bizony látom, hogy nem személyválogató az Isten,
35 Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
hanem minden nemzetben kedves előtte, aki őt féli, és igazságot cselekszik.
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].
Ezt az igét, küldte Izrael fiainak, békességet hirdetve a Jézus Krisztus által. Ő a mindenség Ura!
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.
Ti ismeritek azt a dolgot, mely az egész Júdeában történt, Galileától kezdve, azután a keresztség után, melyet János prédikált,
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.”
a Názáreti Jézust, hogyan kente fel őt az Isten Szentlélekkel és hatalommal, aki szertejárt jót téve, és meggyógyítva mindenkit, akik az ördög hatalma alatt voltak, mert az Isten volt ő vele.
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.
És mi vagyunk bizonyságai mindazoknak, amiket mind a zsidók tartományában, mind Jeruzsálemben cselekedett. Őt azonban megölték, keresztfára feszítve,
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].
de az Isten feltámasztotta harmadnapon, és megadta neki, hogy nyilvánosan megjelenjen;
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).
de nem az egész népnek, hanem az Istentől eleve választott tanúknak: nekünk, akik együtt ettünk, és együtt ittunk vele, miután feltámadott halottaiból.
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].
És megparancsolta nekünk, hogy hirdessük a népnek, és tegyünk bizonyságot, hogy ő az Istentől rendelt bírája élőknek és holtaknak.
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.”
Róla tesznek bizonyságot a próféták mind, hogy az ő neve által bűneinek bocsánatát veszi mindenki, aki hisz ő benne.“
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.
Mikor még ezeket az igéket mondta Péter, leszállt a Szentlélek mindazokra, akik hallgatták e beszédet.
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.
Elálmélkodtak a zsidóságból való hívek, mindazok, akik Péterrel együtt mentek, hogy a pogányokra is kitöltetett a Szentlélek ajándéka.
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.
Mert hallották, hogy ők nyelveken szólnak, és magasztalják az Istent. Akkor ezt mondta Péter:
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]”
„Vajon megtagadhatja-e valaki a vizet ezektől, hogy megkeresztelkedjenek, akik ugyanúgy vették a Szentlelket, mint mi is?“
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].
És megparancsolta, hogy keresztelkedjenek meg az Úrnak nevében. Akkor kérték őt, hogy maradjon náluk néhány napig.
