Apostelenes gerninger 10

¹ Men en Mand i Kæsarea ved Navn Konelius, en Høvedsmand ved den Afdeling, som kaldes den italienske,

¹ Now there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort,

³ han så klarlig i et Syn omtrent ved den niende Time på Dagen en Guds Engel, som kom ind til ham og sagde til ham: "Kornelius!"

³ About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, “Cornelius!”

⁵ Og send nu nogle Mænd til Joppe, og lad hente en vis Simon med Tilnavn Peter.

⁵ Now dispatch some men to Joppa and send for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter;

⁷ Men da Engelen, som talte til ham, var gået bort, kaldte han to af sine Husfolk og en gudfrygtig Stridsmand af dem, som stadig vare om ham.

⁷ When the angel who was speaking to him had left, he summoned two of his servants and a devout soldier of those who were his personal attendants,

⁹ Men den næste Dag, da disse vare undervejs og nærmede sig til Byen, steg Peter op på Taget for at bede ved den sjette Time.

⁹ On the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray.

¹¹ og han så Himmelen åbnet og noget, der dalede ned, ligesom en stor Dug, der ved de fire Hjørner sænkedes ned på Jorden;

¹¹ and he *saw the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground,

¹³ Og en Røst lød til ham: "Stå op, Peter, slagt og spis!"

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

¹⁵ Og atter for anden Gang lød der en Røst til ham: "Hvad Gud har renset, holde du ikke for vanhelligt!"

¹⁵ Again a voice came to him a second time, “What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.”

¹⁷ Men medens Peter var tvivlrådig med sig selv om, hvad det Syn, som han havde set, måtte betyde, se, da havde de Mænd, som vare udsendte af Kornelius, opspurgt Simons Hus og stode for Porten.

¹⁷ Now while Peter was greatly perplexed in mind as to what the vision which he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions for Simon’s house, appeared at the gate;

¹⁹ Men idet Peter grublede over Synet, sagde Ånden til ham: "Se, der er tre Mænd, som søge efter dig;

¹⁹ While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

²¹ Så steg Peter ned til Mændene og sagde: "Se, jeg er den, som I søge efter; hvad er Årsagen, hvorfor I ere komne?"

²¹ Peter went down to the men and said, “Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for which you have come?”

²³ Da kaldte han dem ind og gav dem Herberge. Men den næste Dag stod han op og drog bort med dem, og nogle af Brødrene fra Joppe droge med ham.

²³ So he invited them in and gave them lodging.And on the next day he got up and went away with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

²⁵ Men da det nu skete, at Peter kom ind, gik Kornelius ham i Møde og faldt ned for hans Fødder og tilbad ham.

²⁵ When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him.

²⁷ Og under Samtale med ham gik han ind og fandt mange samlede.

²⁷ As he talked with him, he entered and *found many people assembled.

²⁹ Derfor kom jeg også uden Indvending, da jeg blev hentet; og jeg spørger eder da, af hvad Årsag I hentede mig?"

²⁹ That is why I came without even raising any objection when I was sent for. So I ask for what reason you have sent for me.”

³¹ og han sagde: Kornelius! din Bøn er hørt, og dine Almisser ere ihukommede for Gud.

³¹ and he *said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.

³³ Derfor sendte jeg straks Bud til dig, og du gjorde vel i at komme.

³³ So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here present before God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.”

³⁵ men i hvert Folk er den, som frygter ham og gør Retfærdighed, velkommen for ham;

³⁵ but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.

³⁷ I kende det, som er udgået over hele Judæa, idet det begyndte fra Galilæa, efter den Dåb, som Johannes prædikede,

³⁷ you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed.

³⁹ og vi ere Vidner om alt det, som han har gjort både i Jødernes Land og i Jerusalem, han, som de også sloge ihjel, idet de hængte ham på et Træ.

³⁹ We are witnesses of all the things He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross.

⁴¹ ikke for hele Folket, men for de Vidner, som vare forud udvalgte af Gud, for os, som spiste og drak med ham, efter at han var opstanden fra de døde.

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

⁴³ Ham give alle Profeterne det Vidnesbyrd, at enhver, som tror på ham, skal få Syndernes Forladelse ved hans Navn."

⁴³ Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”

⁴⁵ Og de troende af Omskærelsen, så mange, som vare komne med Peter, bleve meget forbavsede over, af den Helligånds Gave var bleven udgydt også over Hedningerne;

⁴⁵ All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

⁴⁷ Da svarede Peter: "Mon nogen kan formene disse Vandet; så de ikke skulde døbes, de, som dog havde fået den Helligånd lige så vel som vi?"

⁴⁷ “Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?”
