Atti degli Apostoli 10

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Vir autem quidam in Cae sarea nomine Cornelius, cen turio cohortis, quaedicitur Italica,	1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
2 religiosus et timens Deum cum omni domo sua, facienseleemosynas multas plebi et deprecans Deum semper,	2 A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
3 vidit in visu manifestequasi hora nona diei angelum Dei introeuntem ad se et dicentem sibi: “ Corneli”.	3 This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him: Cornelius.
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.	4 And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
5 Et nunc mitte viros in Ioppen et accersi Simonem quendam,qui cognominatur Petrus;	5 And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 hic hospitatur apud Simonem quendam coriarium, cuiest domus iuxta mare ”.	6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
7 Ut autem discessit angelus, qui loquebatur illi, cumvocasset duos domesticos suos et militem religiosum ex his, qui illi parebant,	7 And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.
8 et narrasset illis omnia, misit illos in Ioppen.	8 To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
9 Postera autem die, iter illis facientibus et appropinquantibus civitati,ascendit Petrus super tectum, ut oraret circa horam sextam.	9 And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 Et cum esuriret,voluit gustare; parantibus autem eis, cecidit super eum mentis excessus,	10 And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
11 etvidet caelum apertum et descendens vas quoddam velut linteum magnum quattuorinitiis submitti in terram,	11 And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
12 in quo erant omnia quadrupedia et serpentiaterrae et volatilia caeli.	12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
13 Et facta est vox ad eum: “ Surge, Petre, occideet manduca! ”.	13 And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
14 Ait autem Petrus: “ Nequaquam, Domine, quia numquammanducavi omne commune et immundum ”.	14 But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
15 Et vox iterum secundo ad eum: “Quae Deus purificavit, ne tu commune dixeris ”.	15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
16 Hoc autem factum est perter, et statim receptum est vas in caelum.	16 And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17 Et dum intra se haesitaret Petrusquidnam esset visio, quam vidisset, ecce viri, qui missi erant a Cornelio,inquirentes domum Simonis astiterunt ad ianuam	17 Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate.
18 et, cum vocassent,interrogabant si Simon, qui cognominatur Petrus, illic haberet hospitium.	18 And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 Petro autem cogitante de visione, dixit Spiritus ei: “ Ecce viri tres quaeruntte;	19 And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20 surge itaque et descende et vade cum eis nihil dubitans, quia ego misiillos ”.	20 Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Descendens autem Petrus ad viros dixit: “ Ecce ego sum, quemquaeritis; quae causa est, propter quam venistis? ”.	21 Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?
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 ”.	22 Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23 Invitans igitur eos recepit hospitio. Sequenti autem die, surgens profectus est cum eis, et quidam ex fratribus abIoppe comitati sunt eum.	23 Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.
24 Altera autem die introivit Caesaream; Cornelius veroexspectabat illos, convocatis cognatis suis et necessariis amicis.	24 And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
25 Et factumest, cum introisset Petrus, obvius ei Cornelius procidens ad pedes adoravit.	25 And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.
26 Petrus vero levavit eum dicens: “ Surge, et ego ipse homo sum ”.	26 But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
27 Etloquens cum illo intravit et invenit multos, qui convenerant;	27 And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 dixitque adillos: “ Vos scitis quomodo illicitum sit viro Iudaeo coniungi aut accedere adalienigenam. Et mihi ostendit Deus neminem communem aut immundum dicere hominem;	28 And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.
29 propter quod sine dubitatione veni accersitus. Interrogo ergo quam ob causamaccersistis me ”.	29 For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?
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	30 And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:
31 et ait: “Corneli, exaudita est oratio tua, et eleemosynae tuaecommemoratae sunt in conspectu Dei.	31 Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 Mitte ergo in Ioppen et accersi Simonem,qui cognominatur Petrus; hic hospitatur in domo Simonis coriarii iuxta mare”.	32 Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
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”.	33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.
34 Aperiens autem Petrus os dixit: “ In veritate comperio quoniam non estpersonarum acceptor Deus,	34 And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
35 sed in omni gente, qui timet eum et operaturiustitiam, acceptus est illi.	35 But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
36 Verbum misit filiis Israel evangelizans pacemper Iesum Christum; hic est omnium Dominus.	36 God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
37 Vos scitis quod factum est verbumper universam Iudaeam incipiens a Galilaea post baptismum, quod praedicavitIoannes:	37 You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
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.	38 Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 Et nos testes sumus omnium, quae fecit in regione Iudaeorum etIerusalem; quem et occiderunt suspendentes in ligno.	39 And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.
40 Hunc Deus suscitavittertia die et dedit eum manifestum fieri	40 Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
41 non omni populo, sed testibuspraeordinatis a Deo, nobis, qui manducavimus et bibimus cum illo postquamresurrexit a mortuis;	41 Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;
42 et praecepit nobis praedicare populo et testificariquia ipse est, qui constitutus est a Deo iudex vivorum et mortuorum.	42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.
43 Huicomnes Prophetae testimonium perhibent remissionem peccatorum accipere per nomeneius omnes, qui credunt in eum ”.	43 To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
44 Adhuc loquente Petro verba haec, cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super omnes, quiaudiebant verbum.	44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
45 Et obstupuerunt, qui ex circumcisione fideles, qui venerantcum Petro, quia et in nationes gratia Spiritus Sancti effusa est;	45 And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
46 audiebantenim illos loquentes linguis et magnificantes Deum. Tunc respondit Petrus:	46 For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
47 “ Numquid aquam quis prohibere potest, ut non baptizentur hi, qui SpiritumSanctum acceperunt sicut et nos? ”.	47 Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
48 Et iussit eos in nomine Iesu Christibaptizari. Tunc rogaverunt eum, ut maneret aliquot diebus.	48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.
