¹A bol nejaký muž v Cezárei, menom Kornelius, stotník z čaty, zvanej Italskej,

¹And there was a certain man in Cesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a band called Italian,

²nábožný a bojaci sa Boha s celým svojím domom, ktorý dával ľudu mnoho almužien

²pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always,

³a vždy sa modlieval Bohu. Ten videl zreteľne vo videní vodne, okolo deviatej hodiny anjela Božieho, že vošiel k nemu a povedal mu: Kornelius!

³he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, `Cornelius;`

⁴A on pozrel upreným hlasom na neho a povedal, prestrašený: Čo je Pane? A on mu povedal: Tvoje modlitby a tvoje almužny vstúpily na pamäť pred Bohom.

⁴and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, `What is it, Lord?` And he said to him, `Thy prayers and thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God,

⁵A tak teraz pošli mužov do Joppy a zavolaj Šimona, ktorý má prímeno Peter.

⁵and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

⁶Ten pohostíni u nejakého Šimona, koželuha, ktorý má dom pri mori, ten ti povie, čo máš robiť.

⁶this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one shall speak to thee what it behoveth thee to do.`

⁷A jako odišiel anjel, ktorý hovoril Korneliovi, Kornelius zavolal dvoch zo svojich čeľadínov a jedného pobožného vojaka z tých, ktorí sa ho pridŕžali,

⁷And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,

⁸a keď im porozprával všetko, poslal ich do Joppy.

⁸and having declared to them all things, he sent them to Joppa.

⁹A druhého dňa, keď oni išli a blížili sa k mestu, vyšiel Peter na postrešie domu pomodliť sa, okolo šiestej hodiny.

⁹And on the morrow, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour,

¹⁰A veľmi zlačnel a chcel jesť. A kým oni hotovili, pripadlo na neho vytrženie,

¹⁰and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell upon him a trance,

¹¹a videl nebo otvorené, a že sostupuje na neho jakási nádoba jako veliký obrus, uviazaný za štyri rohy a spúšťajúci sa na zem,

¹¹and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down upon the earth,

¹²v ktorom boly všelijaké štvornohé zvieratá zemské i divá zver i zemeplazy i nebeské vtáctvo:

¹²in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven,

¹³A prehovoril k nemu hlas: Vstaň, Petre, bi a jedz!

¹³and there came a voice unto him: `Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.`

¹⁴A Peter povedal: nijakým činom, Pane, lebo som nikdy nejedol ničoho obecného alebo nečistého.

¹⁴And Peter said, `Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;`

¹⁵A hlas mu zase povedal po druhé: Toho, čo Bôh očistil, ty nemaj za nečisté!

¹⁵and [there is] a voice again a second time unto him: `What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;`

¹⁶A to sa stalo po tri razy, a nádoba bola zase hneď vzatá hore do neba.

¹⁶and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven.

¹⁷A kým bol Peter sám v sebe v rozpakoch a rozmýšľal, čo má znamenať videnie, ktoré videl, tu hľa, mužovia, poslaní od Kornelia, dopýtajúc sa na dom Šimona zastáli pri bráne.

¹⁷And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, lo, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,

¹⁸A zavolali a pýtali sa, či tam pohostíni Šimon, s prímenom Peter?

¹⁸and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, doth lodge here?

¹⁹A keď rozmýšľal Peter o videní, povedal mu Duch: Hľa, traja mužovia ťa hľadajú.

¹⁹And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, `Lo, three men do seek thee;

²⁰Ale vstaň, sídi a iď s nimi a nič nepochybuj, pretože som ich ja poslal.

²⁰but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them;`

²¹Keď potom sišiel Peter za mužmi, ktorí boli poslaní k nemu od Kornelia, povedal: Hľa, ja som ten, ktorého hľadáte. Jaká je to príčina, pre ktorú ste prišli?

²¹and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, `Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what [is] the cause for which ye are present?`

²²A oni povedali: Stotník Kornelius, muž, spravedlivý a bohabojný a ktorému dáva celý židovský národ dobré svedoctvo, dostal vo videní rozkaz od svätého anjela, aby ťa povolal do svojho domu a počul slová od teba.

²²And they said, `Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.`

²³Vtedy ich zavolal do vnútra a pohostil. A na druhý deň vstal Peter a vyšiel s nimi, a išli s ním aj niektorí z bratov z Joppy.

²³Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him,

²⁴A druhého dňa vošli do Cezáree, a Kornelius ich očakával, keď bol svolal k sebe svojich príbuzných a blízkych priateľov.

²⁴and on the morrow they did enter into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends,

²⁵A keď už bol vošiel Peter, a keď sa s ním stretol Kornelius, Kornelius padol k jeho nohám a klaňal sa.

²⁵and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, did bow before [him];

²⁶Ale Peter ho pozdvihol a povedal: Vstaň, veď i ja sám som človek.

²⁶and Peter raised him, saying, `Stand up; I also myself am a man;`

²⁷A shovárajúc sa s ním vošiel dnu a našiel mnohých, ktorí sa boli sišli.

²⁷and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together.

²⁸A povedal im: Vy viete, jako neslušné je človeku Židovi pripojiť sa alebo pristúpiť k človekovi z iného národa. Ale mne ukázal Bôh, aby som nehovoril o niktorom človekovi, že je obecný alebo nečistý.

²⁸And he said unto them, `Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean;

²⁹Preto som aj súc povolaný prišiel bez odporu. A tak sa pýtam, pre ktorú príčinu ste poslali pre mňa?

²⁹therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?`

³⁰A Kornelius povedal: Pred štyrmi dňami som sa postil až do tejto hodiny a v deviatu hodinu som sa modlil vo svojom dome. A tu hľa, razom sa postavil predo mnou muž vo skvelom rúchu bielom

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

³¹a povedal: Kornelius, tvoja modlitba je vyslyšaná, a tvoje almužny sa spomenuly pred Bohom.

³¹and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God;

³²Pošli tedy do Joppy a povolaj Šimona, ktorý má prímeno Peter; býva v dome koželuha Šimona, pri mori, ktorý, keď prijde, rozpovie ti všetko.

³²send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee;

³³nuž tak som naskutku poslal k tebe, a ty si dobre urobil, že si prišiel. A tak teraz sme tu my všetci pred tvárou Božou, aby sme počuli všetko, čo ti je nariadené od Pána.

³³at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.`

³⁴Vtedy otvoril Peter ústa a povedal: V pravde poznávam, že Bôh nehľadí na osobu,

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

³⁵ale že v každom národe ten, kto sa ho bojí a činí spravedlivosť, je príjemný jemu.

³⁵but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;

³⁶Slovo, ktoré poslal Bôh synom Izraelovým zvestujúc pokoj skrze Ježiša Krista - a on je Pánom všetkého -,

³⁶the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news — peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)

³⁷vy viete o tom, čo sa dialo po celom Judsku počnúc od Galilee po krste, ktorý hlásal Ján,

³⁷ye — ye have known; — the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached;

³⁸o Ježišovi z Nazareta, jako ho pomazal Bôh Svätým Duchom a mocou, ktorý prešiel zem dobre činiac a uzdravujúc všetkých, ktorí boli premožení od diabla a držaní v jeho moci, pretože bol s ním Bôh.

³⁸Jesus who [is] from Nazareth — how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him;

³⁹A my sme svedkami všetkého, čo činil ako v krajine Židov, tak i v Jeruzaleme, ktorého i zabili povesiac ho na drevo.

³⁹and we — we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, — whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree.

⁴⁰Toho Bôh vzkriesil tretieho dňa a dal mu, aby sa zjavil,

⁴⁰`This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,

⁴¹nie všetkému ľudu, ale svedkom, vopred vyvoleným od Boha, nám, ktorí sme s ním jedli a pili po jeho vstaní z mŕtvych.

⁴¹not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God — to us who did eat with [him], and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead;

⁴²A prikázal nám, aby sme hlásali ľudu a dôrazne svedčili, že on je tým od Boha určeným sudcom živých aj mŕtvych.

⁴²and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead —

⁴³Jemu vydávajú svedoctvo všetci proroci, že odpustenie hriechov dostane skrze jeho meno každý, kto verí v neho.

⁴³to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.`

⁴⁴A kým Peter ešte hovoril tieto slová, sostúpil Svätý Duch na všetkých, ktorí počúvali slovo.

⁴⁴While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word,

⁴⁵Vtedy užasli všetci veriaci z obriezky, ktorí boli prišli s Petrom, že i na pohanov je vyliaty dar Svätého Ducha;

⁴⁵and those of the circumcision believing were astonished — as many as came with Peter — because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out,

⁴⁶lebo ich počuli hovoriť jazykmi a velebiť Boha. Vtedy odpovedal Peter:

⁴⁶for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.

⁴⁷Či potom môže niekto zabrániť vode, aby títo neboli pokrstení, ktorí prijali Svätého Ducha jako aj my?

⁴⁷Then answered Peter, `The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive — even as also we?`

⁴⁸A rozkázal ich pokrstiť v mene Pána Ježiša Krista. Vtedy ho prosili, žeby zostal u nich niekoľko dní.

⁴⁸he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days.
