¹Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,

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

²a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.

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

³At about the ninth hour of the day 3:00 PM , he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, “Cornelius!”

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

⁴He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.

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.

⁵Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is surnamed Peter.

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

⁶He lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. TR adds “This one will tell you what it is necessary for you to do.” ”

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

⁷When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.

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

⁸Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

⁸sve im ispripovjedi i posla ih u Jopu.

⁹Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.

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

¹⁰He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.

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

¹¹He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,

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

¹²in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.

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

¹³A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”

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

¹⁴But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”

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

¹⁵A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”

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

¹⁶This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.

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

¹⁷Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,

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,

¹⁸and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.

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

¹⁹While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three Reading from TR and NU. MT omits “three” men seek you.

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

²⁰But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”

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

²¹Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”

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

²²They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”

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."

²³So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.

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

²⁴On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.

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

²⁵When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.

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

²⁶But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

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

²⁷As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

²⁷I razgovarajući s njime, uđe i nađe sabrane mnoge

²⁸He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

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.

²⁹Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”

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

³⁰Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour, and at the ninth hour, 3:00 P. M. I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

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

³¹and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.

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

³²Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’

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

³³Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

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!"

³⁴Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

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

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

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

³⁶The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—

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

³⁷you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

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

³⁸even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

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."

³⁹We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they also TR omits “also” killed, hanging him on a tree.

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

⁴⁰God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,

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

⁴¹not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

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

⁴²He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.

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

⁴³All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”

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

⁴⁴While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.

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

⁴⁵They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.

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

⁴⁶For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

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

⁴⁷“Can any man forbid the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?”

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

⁴⁸He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

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