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

¹Bil je pa neki mož v Cezareji, po imenu Kornelij, stotnik čete, ki se je imenovala Laška,

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.

²pobožen in bogaboječ z vso hišo svojo, ki je dajal veliko miloščine ljudem in je molil k Bogu neprenehoma.

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!”

³Ta je videl v prikazni razločno, okoli devete ure po dnevi, angela Božjega, da je prišel k njemu in mu rekel: Kornelij!

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.

⁴On pa pogleda nanj, se preplaši in reče: Kaj je, Gospod? On pa mu veli: Molitve tvoje in miloščine tvoje so prišle v spomin pred Bogom.

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

⁵In sedaj pošlji v Jopo mož in pokliči Simona, ki ima priimek Peter.

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 gostuje pri nekem Simonu strojarju, čigar hiša je pri morju.

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.

⁷Ko pa odide angel, ki je govoril ž njim, pokliče dva domačih svojih in pobožnega vojaka izmed teh, ki so mu vedno služili,

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

⁸in razloživši jim vse, jih pošlje v Jopo.

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.

⁹A drugi dan, ko so ti bili na potu in so se mestu bližali, gre Peter na streho molit, okoli šeste ure.

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

¹⁰Postane pa lačen in hoče kaj zaužiti; ko pa pripravljajo, se zamakne

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

¹¹in ugleda nebo odprto in da prihaja navzdol nekaka posoda kakor velik prt, in se za četvere vogle spušča na zemljo;

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

¹²v njej so bili raznovrstni četveronožci in zveri in golazen zemlje in ptice nebeške.

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

¹³In veli mu glas: Vstani, Peter, kolji in jej!

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

¹⁴Peter pa reče: Nikakor ne, Gospod, kajti nikoli še nisem jedel kaj nagnusnega ali nečistega.

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

¹⁵In glas mu zopet v drugič veli: Kar je Bog očistil, ne imej ti za nečisto.

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

¹⁶To pa se je zgodilo trikrat; in takoj je bila posoda vzeta gori v 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,

¹⁷Ko pa je Peter sam pri sebi preudarjal, kaj bi neki pomenila ta prikazen, ki jo je videl, glej, možje, ki jih je bil poslal Kornelij, so izprašali hišo Simonovo in so stali pred vrati.

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

¹⁸In pokličejo ter vprašajo, če Simon, s priimkom Peter, tu gostuje.

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

¹⁹Medtem pa, ko Peter še premišljuje o prikazni, mu veli Duh: Glej, trije možje te iščejo.

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

²⁰Vstani torej, stopi doli in pojdi ž njimi brez pomišljevanja; zakaj jaz sem jih poslal.

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

²¹In Peter gre doli k možem in jim reče: Glejte, jaz sem, ki ga iščete. Kaj je vzrok, da ste prišli?

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 pa reko: Kornelij stotnik, mož pravičen in bogaboječ, ki je na dobrem glasu pri vsem ljudstvu judovskem, je prejel povelje od svetega angela, naj te pokliče v hišo svojo, da sliši besede od tebe.

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.

²³Pokliče jih torej noter in vzame pod streho. A drugi dan vstane in odide ž njimi, in nekaj bratov iz Jope gre ž njim.

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

²⁴In drugega dne pridejo v Cezarejo. A Kornelij jih je pričakoval, ko je bil sklical sorodnike svoje in bližnje prijatelje.

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

²⁵In zgodi se, ko gre Peter noter, da mu pride Kornelij naproti in mu pade k nogam ter ga moli.

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

²⁶Peter pa ga vzdigne, rekoč: Vstani! Tudi jaz sem človek.

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

²⁷In razgovarjaje se ž njim, stopi noter in jih najde veliko zbranih,

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.

²⁸in jim reče: Vi veste, da ni dovoljeno Judu, družiti se ali hoditi k ljudem drugega naroda; a meni je Bog pokazal, naj ne imenujem nikogar nagnusnega ali nečistega.

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

²⁹Zato sem tudi brez ugovora prišel, ko sem bil poklican. Vprašam torej, iz katerega vzroka ste poslali pome?

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,

³⁰In Kornelij reče: Pred štirimi dnevi do te ure sem molil ob devetih v hiši svoji; in glej, mož se postavi pred menoj v svetlem oblačilu in veli:

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

³¹Kornelij, uslišana je molitev tvoja in miloščine tvoje so v spominu 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.’

³²Pošlji torej v Jopo in pokliči Simona s priimkom Peter; on gostuje v hiši Simona strojarja pri morju.

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.”

³³Zato sem precej poslal k tebi, in ti si prav storil, da so prišel. Sedaj torej smo vsi mi tu pred obličjem Božjim, da slišimo vse, kar ti je ukazano od Gospoda.

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

³⁴Tedaj odpre Peter usta in reče: V resnici spoznavam, da Bog ne gleda na lice,

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

³⁵temuč v vsakem narodu mu je prijeten, kdor se ga boji in dela pravično;

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

³⁶po besedi, ki jo je poslal sinovom Izraelovim, oznanjujoč blagovestje o miru po Jezusu Kristusu – ta je vsem Gospod!

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

³⁷Vi veste, kaj se je godilo po Judeji, počenši od Galileje, po krstu, ki ga je oznanjeval Janez,

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.

³⁸veste o Jezusu Kristusu iz Nazareta, kako ga je pomazilil Bog s svetim Duhom in z močjo; ki je hodil okrog, deleč dobrote in ozdravljajoč vse, ki so bili obvladani od hudiča, ker je bil Bog ž njim.

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.

³⁹In mi smo priče vsemu, kar je storil v deželi Judov in v Jeruzalemu; ki so ga tudi na les obesili in umorili.

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

⁴⁰Tega je Bog obudil tretji dan in dal, da so ga videli,

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 vse ljudstvo, nego priče, poprej izvoljene od Boga, mi, ki smo ž njim jedli in pili, potem ko je bil vstal iz 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.

⁴²In on nam je ukazal, naj propovedujemo ljudstvu in pričamo, da je on od Boga postavljeni sodnik živih in mrtvih.

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

⁴³Temu pričajo vsi proroki, da prejme po imenu njegovem odpuščenje grehov vsak, kdor veruje vanj.

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

⁴⁴Ko je Peter še govoril te besede, pride sveti Duh na vse, ki so poslušali besedo.

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.

⁴⁵In zavzemo se verniki iz obreze, ki so bili prišli s Petrom, da se je tudi na pogane izlil dar svetega Duha;

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

⁴⁶kajti slišali so jih govoriti jezike in poveličevati Boga. Tedaj izpregovori Peter:

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

⁴⁷Ali more kdo zabraniti vodo, da se ne bi krstili ti, ki so prejeli svetega Duha, kakor tudi mi?In ukaže jih krstiti v imenu Jezusa Kristusa. Tedaj ga zaprosijo, naj ostane pri njih nekoliko dni.

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

⁴⁸In ukaže jih krstiti v imenu Jezusa Kristusa. Tedaj ga zaprosijo, naj ostane pri njih nekoliko dni.
