Acts 10

There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

Ητο δε τις ανθρωπος εν Καισαρεια ονοματι Κορνηλιος, εκατονταρχος εκ του ταγματος του λεγομενου Ιταλικου,

A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

ευσεβης και φοβουμενος τον Θεον μετα παντος του οικου αυτου, οστις και εκαμνεν ελεημοσυνας εις τον λαον πολλας και εδεετο του Θεου διαπαντος

He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

ουτος ειδε φανερα δι οραματος περι την εννατην ωραν της ημερας αγγελον του Θεου, οτι εισηλθε προς αυτον και ειπε προς αυτον Κορνηλιε.

And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

Ο δε ατενισας εις αυτον και εμφοβος γενομενος, ειπε Τι ειναι, Κυριε; Και ειπε προς αυτον Αι προσευχαι σου και αι ελεημοσυναι σου ανεβησαν εις μνημοσυνον σου ενωπιον του Θεου.

And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

Και τωρα πεμψον εις Ιοππην ανθρωπους και προσκαλεσον τον Σιμωνα, οστις επονομαζεται Πετρος

He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

ουτος ξενιζεται παρα τινι Σιμωνι βυρσοδεψη, εχοντι οικιαν πλησιον της θαλασσης. Ουτος θελει σοι λαλησει τι πρεπει να καμνης.

And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;

Καθως δε ανεχωρησεν ο αγγελος ο λαλων προς τον Κορνηλιον, εφωναξε δυο εκ των υπηρετων αυτου και ενα στρατιωτην ευσεβη εκ των διαμενοντων παντοτε πλησιον αυτου,

And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

και διηγηθεις προς αυτους τα παντα, απεστειλεν αυτους εις την Ιοππην.

On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

Τη δε επαυριον, ενω εκεινοι ωδοιπορουν και επλησιαζον εις την πολιν, ανεβη ο Πετρος εις το δωμα δια να προσευχηθη περι την εκτην ωραν.

And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

Και πεινασας ηθελε να φαγη ενω δε ητοιμαζον, επηλθεν επ αυτον εκστασις,

And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

και θεωρει τον ουρανον ανεωγμενον και καταβαινον επ αυτον σκευος τι ως σινδονα μεγαλην, το οποιον ητο δεδεμενον απο των τεσσαρων ακρων και κατεβιβαζετο επι την γην,

Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

εντος του οποιου υπηρχον παντα τα τετραποδα της γης και τα θηρια και τα ερπετα και τα πετεινα του ουρανου.

And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

Και εγεινε φωνη προς αυτον Σηκωθεις, Πετρε, σφαξον και φαγε

But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

Ο δε Πετρος ειπε Μη γενοιτο, Κυριε διοτι ουδεποτε εφαγον ουδεν βεβηλον η ακαθαρτον.

And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

Και παλιν εκ δευτερου εγεινε φωνη προς αυτον Οσα ο Θεος εκαθαρισε, συ μη λεγε βεβηλα.

This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

Εγεινε δε τουτο τρις, και παλιν ανεληφθη το σκευος εις τον ουρανον.

Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

Ενω δε ο Πετρος ητο εν απορια καθ εαυτον τι εσημαινε το οραμα, το οποιον ειδεν, ιδου, οι ανθρωποι οι απεσταλμενοι παρα του Κορνηλιου ερωτησαντες και μαθοντες την οικιαν του Σιμωνος εφθασαν εις την πυλην,

And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

και φωναξαντες ηρωτων αν ο Σιμων ο επονομαζομενος Πετρος ξενιζεται ενταυθα.

While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

Και ενω ο Πετρος διελογιζετο περι του οραματος, ειπε προς αυτον το Πνευμα Ιδου, τρεις ανθρωποι σε ζητουσι

Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

σηκωθεις λοιπον καταβηθι και υπαγε μετ αυτων, μηδολως δισταζων, διοτι εγω απεστειλα αυτους.

Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

Καταβας δε ο Πετρος προς τους ανθρωπους τους απεσταλμενους προς αυτον απο του Κορνηλιου, ειπεν Ιδου, εγω ειμαι εκεινος τον οποιον ζητειτε τις η αιτια δια την οποιαν ηλθετε;

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

Οι δε ειπον Κορνηλιος ο εκατονταρχος, ανηρ δικαιος και φοβουμενος τον Θεον και μαρτυρουμενος υπο ολου του εθνους των Ιουδαιων, διεταχθη θεοθεν υπο αγιου αγγελου να σε προσκαλεση εις τον οικον αυτου και να ακουση λογους παρα σου.

Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

Προσκαλεσας λοιπον αυτους εσω, εφιλοξενησε. Τη δε επαυριον εξηλθεν ο Πετρος μετ αυτων, και τινες των αδελφων των απο της Ιοππης υπηγον μετ αυτον,

And the morrow after they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

και τη επαυριον εισηλθον εις την Καισαρειαν. Ο δε Κορνηλιος περιεμενεν αυτους, συγκαλεσας τους συγγενεις αυτου και τους οικειους φιλους.

And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

Ως δε εισηλθεν ο Πετρος, ελθων ο Κορνηλιος εις συναντησιν αυτου, επεσεν εις τους ποδας αυτου και προσεκυνησεν.

But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

Αλλ ο Πετρος εσηκωσεν αυτον, λεγων Σηκωθητι και εγω αυτος ανθρωπος ειμαι.

And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

Και συνομιλων μετ αυτου εισηλθε και ευρισκει συνηγμενους πολλους,

And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

και ειπε προς αυτους Σεις εξευρετε οτι ειναι ασυγχωρητον εις ανθρωπον Ιουδαιον να συναναστρεφηται η να πλησιαζη εις αλλοφυλον ο Θεος ομως εδειξεν εις εμε να μη λεγω μηδενα ανθρωπον βεβηλον η ακαθαρτον

Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

οθεν και προσκληθεις ηλθον χωρις αντιλογιας. Ερωτω λοιπον δια τινα λογον με προσεκαλεσατε;

And 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,

Και ο Κορνηλιος ειπε Απο τεσσαρων ημερων ημην νηστευων μεχρι της ωρας ταυτης, και την εννατην ωραν προσηυχομην εν τω οικω μου και ιδου, εσταθη ενωπιον μου ανηρ με ενδυματα λαμπρα,

And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

και λεγει Κορνηλιε, εισηκουσθη η προσευχη σου και αι ελεημοσυναι σου εμνημονευθησαν ενωπιον του Θεου.

Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

Πεμψον λοιπον εις Ιοππην και προσκαλεσον τον Σιμωνα, οστις επονομαζεται Πετρος ουτος ξενιζεται εν τη οικια Σιμωνος του βυρσοδεψου πλησιον της θαλασσης οστις ελθων θελει σοι λαλησει.

Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

Ευθυς λοιπον επεμψα προς σε, και συ εκαμες καλα οτι ηλθες. Τωρα λοιπον ημεις παντες παρισταμεθα ενωπιον του Θεου, δια να ακουσωμεν παντα οσα προσεταχθησαν εις σε υπο του Θεου.

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Τοτε ο Πετρος ανοιξας το στομα ειπεν Επ αληθειας γνωριζω οτι δεν ειναι προσωποληπτης ο Θεος,

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

αλλ εν παντι εθνει, οστις φοβειται αυτον και εργαζεται δικαιοσυνην, ειναι δεκτος εις αυτον.

The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

Τον λογον, τον οποιον απεστειλε προς τους υιους Ισραηλ ευαγγελιζομενος ειρηνην δια Ιησου Χριστου ουτος ειναι ο Κυριος παντων

That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judæa, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

τον λογον τουτον σεις εξευρετε, οστις εκηρυχθη καθ ολην την Ιουδαιαν, αρχισας απο της Γαλιλαιας, μετα το βαπτισμα, το οποιον εκηρυξεν ο Ιωαννης,

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

πως ο Θεος εχρισε τον Ιησουν τον απο Ναζαρετ με Πνευμα Αγιον και με δυναμιν, οστις διηλθεν ευεργετων και θεραπευων παντας τους καταδυναστευομενους υπο του διαβολου, διοτι ο Θεος ητο μετ αυτου

And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

και ημεις ειμεθα μαρτυρες παντων οσα εκαμε και εν τη γη των Ιουδαιων και εν Ιερουσαλημ τον οποιον εφονευσαν κρεμασαντες επι ξυλου.

Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

Τουτον ο Θεος ανεστησε την τριτην ημεραν και εκαμεν αυτον να εμφανισθη

Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

ουχι εις παντα τον λαον, αλλ εις μαρτυρας τους προδιωρισμενους υπο του Θεου, εις ημας, οιτινες συνεφαγομεν και συνεπιομεν μετ αυτου, αφου ανεστη εκ νεκρων

And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

και παρηγγειλεν εις ημας να κηρυξωμεν προς τον λαον και να μαρτυρησωμεν οτι αυτος ειναι ο ωρισμενος υπο του Θεου κριτης ζωντων και νεκρων.

To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

Εις τουτον παντες οι προφηται μαρτυρουσιν, οτι δια του ονοματος αυτου θελει λαβει αφεσιν αμαρτιων πας ο πιστευων εις αυτον.

While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

Ενω ετι ελαλει ο Πετρος τους λογους τουτους, επηλθε το Πνευμα το Αγιον επι παντας τους ακουοντας τον λογον.

And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Και εξεπλαγησαν οι εκ περιτομης πιστοι, οσοι ηλθον μετα του Πετρου, οτι η δωρεα του Αγιου Πνευματος εξεχυθη και επι τα εθνη

For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

διοτι ηκουον αυτους λαλουντας γλωσσας και μεγαλυνοντας τον Θεον. Τοτε απεκριθη ο Πετρος

Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

Μηπως δυναται τις να εμποδιση το υδωρ, ωστε να μη βαπτισθωσιν ουτοι, οιτινες ελαβον το Πνευμα το Αγιον καθως και ημεις;

And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Και προσεταξεν αυτους να βαπτισθωσιν εις το ονομα του Κυριου. Τοτε παρεκαλεσαν αυτον να διαμεινη ημερας τινας.
