Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
1
And there was a certain man in Cesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a band called Italian,
2 a 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.
2
pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always,
3 At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius!"
3
he 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;'
4 He, 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.
4
and 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,
5 Now send men to Yafo, and get Shim`on, who is surnamed Kefa.
5
and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
6 He lodges with one Shim`on, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside."
6
this 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.'
7 When 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.
7
And 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,
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Yafo.
8
and having declared to them all things, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Kefa went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
9
And 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,
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
10
and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell upon him a trance,
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the eretz,
11
and 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,
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the eretz, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
12
in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven,
13 A voice came to him, "Rise, Kefa, kill and eat!"
13
and there came a voice unto him: `Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.'
14 But Kefa said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."
14
And Peter said, `Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;'
15 A voice came to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not make unholy."
15
and [there is] a voice again a second time unto him: `What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;'
16 This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.
16
and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven.
17 Now while Kefa 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 Shim`on's house, stood before the gate,
17
And 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,
18 and called and asked whether Shim`on, who was surnamed Kefa, was lodging there.
18
and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, doth lodge here?
19 While Kefa thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men seek you.
19
And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, `Lo, three men do seek thee;
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them."
20
but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them;'
21 Kefa went down to the men, and said, "Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?"
21
and 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?'
22 They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Yehudim, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.
22
And 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.'
23 So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day Kefa arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Yafo accompanied him.
23
Having 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,
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
24
and on the morrow they did enter into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends,
25 When it happened that Kefa entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
25
and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, did bow before [him];
26 But Kefa raised him up, saying, "Stand up! I myself am also a man."
26
and Peter raised him, saying, `Stand up; I also myself am a man;'
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
27
and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together.
28 He said to them, "You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Yehudi 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.
28
And 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;
29 Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?"
29
therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?'
30 Cornelius said, "Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour, and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
30
And 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,
31 and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
31
and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God;
32 Send therefore to Yafo, and summon Shim`on, who is surnamed Kefa. He lodges in the house of Shim`on a tanner, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.'
32
send, 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;
33 Therefore 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."
33
at 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.'
34 Kefa opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God doesn't show favoritism;
34
And Peter having opened his mouth, said, `Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
35
but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
36 The word which he sent to the children of Yisra'el, preaching good news of shalom by Yeshua the Messiah -- he is Lord of all --
36
the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news -- peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)
37 that spoken word you yourselves know, which was proclaimed throughout all Yehudah, beginning from the Galil, after the immersion which Yochanan preached;
37
ye -- ye have known; -- the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached;
38 even Yeshua of Natzeret, how God anointed him with the Ruach HaKodesh and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
38
Jesus 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;
39 We are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Yehudim, and in Yerushalayim; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
39
and 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.
40 God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,
40
`This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,
41 not 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.
41
not 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;
42 He charged 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
and 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 --
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins."
43
to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'
44 While Kefa was still speaking these words, the Ruach HaKodesh fell on all those who heard the word.
44
While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word,
45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Kefa, because the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh was also poured out on the Goyim.
45
and 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,
46 For they heard them speak with other languages and magnify God. Then Kefa answered,
46
for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
47 "Can any man forbid the water, that these who have received the Ruach HaKodesh as well as we should not be immersed?"
47
Then 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?'
48 He commanded them to be immersed in the name of Yeshua the Messiah. Then they asked him to stay some days.
48
he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days.
