Acts of the Apostles 10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort,	1 Vir autem quidam in Cae sarea nomine Cornelius, cen turio cohortis, quaedicitur Italica,
2 a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms liberally to the people, and prayed constantly to God.	2 religiosus et timens Deum cum omni domo sua, facienseleemosynas multas plebi et deprecans Deum semper,
3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, "Cornelius."	3 vidit in visu manifestequasi hora nona diei angelum Dei introeuntem ad se et dicentem sibi: “ Corneli”.
4 And he stared at him in terror, and said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.	4 At ille intuens eum et timore correptus dixit: “ Quid est, domine? ”.Dixit autem illi: “ Orationes tuae et eleemosynae tuae ascenderunt in memoriamin conspectu Dei.
5 And now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon who is called Peter;	5 Et nunc mitte viros in Ioppen et accersi Simonem quendam,qui cognominatur Petrus;
6 he is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside."	6 hic hospitatur apud Simonem quendam coriarium, cuiest domus iuxta mare ”.
7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those that waited on him,	7 Ut autem discessit angelus, qui loquebatur illi, cumvocasset duos domesticos suos et militem religiosum ex his, qui illi parebant,
8 and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.	8 et narrasset illis omnia, misit illos in Ioppen.
9 The next day, as they were on their journey and coming near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.	9 Postera autem die, iter illis facientibus et appropinquantibus civitati,ascendit Petrus super tectum, ut oraret circa horam sextam.
10 And he became hungry and desired something to eat; but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance	10 Et cum esuriret,voluit gustare; parantibus autem eis, cecidit super eum mentis excessus,
11 and saw the heaven opened, and something descending, like a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth.	11 etvidet caelum apertum et descendens vas quoddam velut linteum magnum quattuorinitiis submitti in terram,
12 In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air.	12 in quo erant omnia quadrupedia et serpentiaterrae et volatilia caeli.
13 And there came a voice to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat."	13 Et facta est vox ad eum: “ Surge, Petre, occideet manduca! ”.
14 But Peter said, "No, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."	14 Ait autem Petrus: “ Nequaquam, Domine, quia numquammanducavi omne commune et immundum ”.
15 And the voice came to him again a second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call common."	15 Et vox iterum secundo ad eum: “Quae Deus purificavit, ne tu commune dixeris ”.
16 This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.	16 Hoc autem factum est perter, et statim receptum est vas in caelum.
17 Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate	17 Et dum intra se haesitaret Petrusquidnam esset visio, quam vidisset, ecce viri, qui missi erant a Cornelio,inquirentes domum Simonis astiterunt ad ianuam
18 and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there.	18 et, cum vocassent,interrogabant si Simon, qui cognominatur Petrus, illic haberet hospitium.
19 And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you.	19 Petro autem cogitante de visione, dixit Spiritus ei: “ Ecce viri tres quaeruntte;
20 Rise and go down, and accompany them without hesitation; for I have sent them."	20 surge itaque et descende et vade cum eis nihil dubitans, quia ego misiillos ”.
21 And Peter went down to the men and said, "I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for your coming?"	21 Descendens autem Petrus ad viros dixit: “ Ecce ego sum, quemquaeritis; quae causa est, propter quam venistis? ”.
22 And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear what you have to say."	22 Qui dixerunt: “Cornelius centurio, vir iustus et timens Deum et testimonium habens ab universagente Iudaeorum, responsum accepit ab angelo sancto accersire te in domum suamet audire verba abs te ”.
23 So he called them in to be his guests. The next day he rose and went off with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.	23 Invitans igitur eos recepit hospitio. Sequenti autem die, surgens profectus est cum eis, et quidam ex fratribus abIoppe comitati sunt eum.
24 And on the following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his kinsmen and close friends.	24 Altera autem die introivit Caesaream; Cornelius veroexspectabat illos, convocatis cognatis suis et necessariis amicis.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.	25 Et factumest, cum introisset Petrus, obvius ei Cornelius procidens ad pedes adoravit.
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am a man."	26 Petrus vero levavit eum dicens: “ Surge, et ego ipse homo sum ”.
27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered;	27 Etloquens cum illo intravit et invenit multos, qui convenerant;
28 and he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit any one of another nation; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.	28 dixitque adillos: “ Vos scitis quomodo illicitum sit viro Iudaeo coniungi aut accedere adalienigenam. Et mihi ostendit Deus neminem communem aut immundum dicere hominem;
29 So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent for me."	29 propter quod sine dubitatione veni accersitus. Interrogo ergo quam ob causamaccersistis me ”.
30 And Cornelius said, "Four days ago, about this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,	30 Et Cornelius ait: “ A nudius quarta die usque in hanchoram orans eram hora nona in domo mea, et ecce vir stetit ante me in vestecandida
31 saying, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.	31 et ait: “Corneli, exaudita est oratio tua, et eleemosynae tuaecommemoratae sunt in conspectu Dei.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter; he is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'	32 Mitte ergo in Ioppen et accersi Simonem,qui cognominatur Petrus; hic hospitatur in domo Simonis coriarii iuxta mare”.
33 So I sent to you at once, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord."	33 Confestim igitur misi ad te, et tu bene fecisti veniendo. Nunc ergo omnes nosin conspectu Dei adsumus audire omnia, quaecumque tibi praecepta sunt a Domino”.
34 And Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality,	34 Aperiens autem Petrus os dixit: “ In veritate comperio quoniam non estpersonarum acceptor Deus,
35 but in every nation any one who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.	35 sed in omni gente, qui timet eum et operaturiustitiam, acceptus est illi.
36 You know the word which he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all),	36 Verbum misit filiis Israel evangelizans pacemper Iesum Christum; hic est omnium Dominus.
37 the word which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:	37 Vos scitis quod factum est verbumper universam Iudaeam incipiens a Galilaea post baptismum, quod praedicavitIoannes:
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.	38 Iesum a Nazareth, quomodo unxit eum Deus Spiritu Sancto et virtute,qui pertransivit benefaciendo et sanando omnes oppressos a Diabolo, quoniam Deuserat cum illo.
39 And we are witnesses to all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree;	39 Et nos testes sumus omnium, quae fecit in regione Iudaeorum etIerusalem; quem et occiderunt suspendentes in ligno.
40 but God raised him on the third day and made him manifest;	40 Hunc Deus suscitavittertia die et dedit eum manifestum fieri
41 not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.	41 non omni populo, sed testibuspraeordinatis a Deo, nobis, qui manducavimus et bibimus cum illo postquamresurrexit a mortuis;
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the one ordained by God to be judge of the living and the dead.	42 et praecepit nobis praedicare populo et testificariquia ipse est, qui constitutus est a Deo iudex vivorum et mortuorum.
43 To him all the prophets bear witness that every one who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."	43 Huicomnes Prophetae testimonium perhibent remissionem peccatorum accipere per nomeneius omnes, qui credunt in eum ”.
44 While Peter was still saying this, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.	44 Adhuc loquente Petro verba haec, cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super omnes, quiaudiebant verbum.
45 And the believers from among the circumcised who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.	45 Et obstupuerunt, qui ex circumcisione fideles, qui venerantcum Petro, quia et in nationes gratia Spiritus Sancti effusa est;
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,	46 audiebantenim illos loquentes linguis et magnificantes Deum. Tunc respondit Petrus:
47 "Can any one forbid water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?"	47 “ Numquid aquam quis prohibere potest, ut non baptizentur hi, qui SpiritumSanctum acceperunt sicut et nos? ”.
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.	48 Et iussit eos in nomine Iesu Christibaptizari. Tunc rogaverunt eum, ut maneret aliquot diebus.
