¹U Cezareji bijaše neki čovjek imenom Kornelije, satnik takozvane italske čete,

¹But a certain man in Caesarea, -- by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic,

²pobožan i bogobojazan sa svim svojim domom. Dijelio je mnoge milostinje narodu i bez prestanka se molio Bogu.

²pious, and fearing God with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually,

³U viđenju negdje oko devete ure dana ugleda on jasno anđela Božjega gdje dolazi k njemu i veli mu: "Kornelije!"

³-- saw plainly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius.

⁴Zagleda se u nj pa mu prestrašen reče: "Što je, Gospodine?" A on njemu: "Molitve su tvoje i milostinje uzišle kao žrtva podsjetnica pred Boga.

⁴But he, having fixed his eyes upon him, and become full of fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have gone up for a memorial before God.

⁵Zato sada pošalji ljude u Jopu i dozovi Šimuna koji se zove Petar.

⁵And now send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter.

⁶On je gost u nekog Šimuna kožara čija je kuća uz more."

⁶He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.

⁷Čim ode anđeo koji mu je govorio, pozove on dvojicu slugu i jednoga pobožna, privržena vojnika,

⁷And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, having called two of his household and a pious soldier of those who were constantly with him,

⁸sve im ispripovjedi i posla ih u Jopu.

⁸and related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.

⁹Sutradan, dok su oni putovali i približavali se gradu, oko šeste ure uziđe Petar na krov moliti.

⁹And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour.

¹⁰Ogladnje i zaželje se jela. Dok mu pripremahu, pade on u zanos.

¹⁰And he became hungry and desired to eat. But as they were making ready an ecstasy came upon him:

¹¹Gleda on nebo rastvoreno i posudu neku poput velika platna: uleknuta s četiri okrajka, silazi na zemlju.

¹¹and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, [bound] by [the] four corners [and] let down to the earth;

¹²U njoj bijahu svakovrsni četveronošci, gmazovi zemaljski i ptice nebeske.

¹²in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven.

¹³I glas će mu neki: "Ustaj, Petre! Kolji i jedi!"

¹³And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.

¹⁴Petar odvrati: "Nipošto, Gospodine! Ta nikad još ne okusih ništa okaljano i nečisto".

¹⁴And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.

¹⁵A glas će mu opet, po drugi put: "Što Bog očisti, ti ne zovi okaljanim!"

¹⁵And [there was] a voice again the second time to him, What God has cleansed, do not *thou* make common.

¹⁶To se ponovi do triput, a onda je posuda ponesena na nebo.

¹⁶And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.

¹⁷Dok se Petar dvoumio što bi imalo značiti viđenje koje vidje, eto ljudi koje je poslao Kornelije: pošto se raspitaše za Šimunovu kuću, pojave se na vratima,

¹⁷And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

¹⁸zovnu te upitaju je li ondje ugošćen neki Šimun, nazvan Petar.

¹⁸and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.

¹⁹Dok je Petar sveudilj razmišljao o viđenju, reče mu Duh: "Evo, neka te trojica traže.

¹⁹But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;

²⁰De ustani, siđi i pođi s njima ne skanjujući se jer ja sam ih poslao."

²⁰but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because *I* have sent them.

²¹Petar siđe k ljudima i reče: "Evo me! Ja sam onaj kojega tražite! Zbog čega ste došli?"

²¹And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, *I* am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?

²²Oni odgovore: "Satnik Kornelije, muž pravedan i bogobojazan, za kojega svjedoči sav narod židovski, primi od svetog anđela naputak da te dozove u dom svoj i čuje od tebe riječi."

²²And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee.

²³Tada ih Petar pozva unutra i ugosti. Sutradan usta i krenu s njima; pratila ga neka braća iz Jope.

²³Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him.

²⁴Drugi dan stiže u Cezareju. Kornelije ih je čekao sazvavši rodbinu i prisne prijatelje.

²⁴And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends.

²⁵Kad je Petar ulazio, pohrli mu Kornelije u susret, padne mu k nogama i pokloni se.

²⁵And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.

²⁶Petar ga pridigne govoreći: "Ustani! I ja sam čovjek."

²⁶But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: *I* myself also am a man.

²⁷I razgovarajući s njime, uđe i nađe sabrane mnoge

²⁷And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.

²⁸te im reče: "Vi znate kako je Židovu zabranjeno družiti se sa strancem ili k njemu ulaziti, ali meni Bog pokaza da nikoga ne zovem okaljanim ili nečistim.

²⁸And he said to them, *Ye* know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to *me* God has shewn to call no man common or unclean.

²⁹Stoga, pozvan, i dođoh bez pogovora. Da čujemo dakle zbog čega me pozvaste!"

²⁹Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it. I inquire therefore for what reason ye have sent for me.

³⁰Kornelije reče: "Prije četiri dana baš u ovo doba, o devetoj uri, molio sam se u kući kad gle: čovjek neki u sjajnoj odjeći stane preda me

³⁰And Cornelius said, Four days ago I had been [fasting] unto this hour, and the ninth [I was] praying in my house, and lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

³¹i reče: 'Kornelije, uslišana ti je molitva i milostinje su tvoje spomenute pred Bogom!

³¹and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God.

³²Pošalji dakle u Jopu i dozovi Šimuna koji se zove Petar. On je gost u kući Šimuna kožara uz more.'

³²Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea [who when he is come will speak to thee].

³³Odmah sam dakle poslao k tebi, a ti si dobro učinio što si došao. Evo nas dakle sviju pred Bogom da čujemo sve što ti zapovjedi Gospodin!"

³³Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and *thou* hast well done in coming. Now therefore *we* are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

³⁴Petar tada prozbori i reče: "Sad uistinu shvaćam da Bog nije pristran,

³⁴And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,

³⁵nego - u svakom je narodu njemu mio onaj koji ga se boji i čini pravdu.

³⁵but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

³⁶Riječ posla sinovima Izraelovim navješćujući im evanđelje: mir po Isusu Kristu; on je Gospodar sviju.

³⁶The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (*he* is Lord of all things,)

³⁷Vi znate što se događalo po svoj Judeji, počevši od Galileje, nakon krštenja koje je propovijedao Ivan:

³⁷*ye* know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached --

³⁸kako Isusa iz Nazareta Bog pomaza Duhom Svetim i snagom, njega koji je, jer Bog bijaše s njime, prošao zemljom čineći dobro i ozdravljajući sve kojima bijaše ovladao đavao."

³⁸Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

³⁹"Mi smo svjedoci svega što on učini u zemlji judejskoj i Jeruzalemu. I njega smakoše, objesivši ga na drvo!

³⁹*We* also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.

⁴⁰Bog ga uskrisi treći dan i dade mu da se očituje -

⁴⁰This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,

⁴¹ne svemu narodu, nego svjedocima od Boga predodređenima - nama koji smo s njime zajedno jeli i pili pošto uskrsnu od mrtvih."

⁴¹not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, *us* who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead.

⁴²"On nam i naloži propovijedati narodu i svjedočiti: Ovo je onaj kojega Bog postavi sucem živih i mrtvih!"

⁴²And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that *he* it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead.

⁴³"Za nj svjedoče svi proroci: da tko god u nj vjeruje, po imenu njegovu prima oproštenje grijeha."

⁴³To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.

⁴⁴Dok je Petar još govorio te riječi, siđe Duh Sveti na sve koji su slušali tu besjedu.

⁴⁴While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.

⁴⁵A vjernici iz obrezanja, koji dođoše zajedno s Petrom, začudiše se što se i na pogane izlio dar Duha Svetoga.

⁴⁵And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out:

⁴⁶Jer čuli su ih govoriti drugim jezicima i veličati Boga. Tada Petar reče:

⁴⁶for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

⁴⁷"Može li tko uskratiti vodu da se ne krste ovi koji su primili Duha Svetoga kao i mi?"

⁴⁷Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]?

⁴⁸I zapovjedi da se krste u ime Isusa Krista. Tada ga zamole da ostane ondje nekoliko dana.

⁴⁸And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.
