(每日读经 4/27) 使徒行传 Acts 10:1-23上 /附音频

10:1 在该撒利亚有一个人，名叫哥尼流，是那叫作义大利营的一个百夫长。

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

10:2 他是个虔诚人，同全家都敬畏神，多多周济百姓，常常祈求神。

Devout and one who feared God with all his household, giving many alms to the people and beseeching God continually.

10:3 有一天，约在午后三时，他在异象中，清楚看见神的一位使者来到他那里，对他说，哥尼流。

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

10:4 哥尼流定睛看他，惊怕说，主啊，什么事？天使对他说，你的祷告和你的周济，已经上达神面前，蒙记念了。

And he looked intently at him and became terrified and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

10:5 现在你要打发人往约帕去，请那称呼彼得的西门来；

And now send men to Joppa and send for a certain Simon, who is surnamed Peter;

10:6 这人在一个硝皮匠西门的家里作客，房子就在海边。

This man is lodging with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.

10:7 向他说话的天使走了以后，哥尼流叫了两个家仆，和常伺候他的一个虔诚兵来，

And when the angel who was speaking to him went away, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him;

10:8 把这一切事都述说给他们听，就打发他们往约帕去。

And relating all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.

10:9 第二天，他们行路将近那城的时候，约在正午，彼得上房顶去祷告。

And on the next day as they were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray around the sixth hour.

10:10 他觉得很饿，就想要吃。人正预备饭的时候，彼得魂游象外，

And he became very hungry and wanted to eat. And while they were preparing, a trance came upon him;

10:11 看见天开了，有一器皿降下，好像一块大布，系着四角，缒在地上，

And he beheld heaven opened, and a certain vessel like a great sheet descending, being let down by four corners onto the earth,

10:12 里面有地上各样四足的走兽和爬物，并天空的飞鸟。

In which were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth and birds of heaven.

10:13 又有声音向他说，彼得，起来，宰了吃！

And a voice came to him: Rise up, Peter; slay and eat!

10:14 彼得却说，主啊，绝对不可，因为一切凡俗并不洁之物，我从来没有吃过。

But Peter said, By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything common and unclean.

10:15 第二次又有声音向他说，神所洁净的，你不可当作俗物。

And a voice came to him again a second time: The things that God has cleansed, do not make common.

10:16 这样一连有三次，那器皿随即收回天上去了。

And this occurred three times; and immediately the vessel was taken up into heaven.

10:17 彼得自己里面正在极其困惑，不知所看见的异象是什么意思，看哪，哥尼流所差来的人，已经询问到西门的家，站在门外，

Now as Peter was utterly perplexed in himself as to what the vision which he had seen might be, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made diligent inquiry for Simon's house, stood at the gate.

10:18 喊着查问：有称呼彼得的西门在这里作客没有？

And they called out and inquired whether Simon, who is surnamed Peter, was lodging there.

10:19 彼得还反复思想那异象的时候，那灵对他说，看哪，有三个人来找你，

And while Peter was pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, there are three men seeking you.

10:20 起来，下去，和他们同往，不要疑惑，因为是我差他们来的。

But rise up, go down and go with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them.

10:21 于是彼得下到那些人那里，说，看哪，我就是你们所找的人，你们来这里是为什么缘故？

And Peter went down to the men and said, Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you have come?

10:22 他们说，百夫长哥尼流是个义人，敬畏神，为犹太全国所称赞，他蒙一位圣天使指示，叫他请你到他家里去，并听你的话。

And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God and is well attested to by the whole nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear words from you.

10:23 彼得就请他们进去，留他们住下。

So he called them in and lodged them.
