Acts 9
1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest
Savel pa, kteri je še dihtel pretenje in smrt zoper učence Gospodove, pristopi k vélikemu duhovnu,
2 and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
In izprosi od njega pisem v Damask do shajališč, da če najde koga od tega pota, bodi si možé ali žene, da jih zvezane pripelje v Jeruzalem.
3 As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
A ko je bil na poti, zgodí se, da se je bližal Damasku: in nagloma ga obsije svetloba z neba.
4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
In padši na zemljo, zasliši glas, da mu pravi: Savel, Savel, kaj me preganjaš?
5 “Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.
Pa reče: Kdo si, Gospod? A Gospod reče: Jaz sem Jezus, kterega ti preganjaš; težko ti je proti ostnu brcati.
6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
In trepetaje in strmeč, reče: Gospod! Kaj hočeš, da naj storím? In Gospod mu reče: Vstani in vnidi v mesto, in tam ti se bo povedalo, kaj ti je treba storiti.
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.
Možjé pa, kteri so ž njim šli, ustavili so se, in strmeli so, ko so glas sicer slišali, pa nikogar niso videli.
8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
In vstal je Savel od tâl; in z odprtimi očmí svojimi ni nikogar videl. Tedaj ga primejo za roko in pripeljejo v Damask.
9 For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.
In tri dní ni videl, in ni jedel ne pil.
10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
Bil je pa neki učenec v Damasku po imenu Ananija; in reče mu Gospod v prikazni: Ananija! On pa reče: Glej me, Gospod!
11 “Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
A Gospod njemu: Vstani in pojdi v ulico, ktera se imenuje Ravna, in vprašaj v hiši Judovej po imenu Savla, Taršana. Kajti glej, moli,
12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
In videl je v prikazni moža po imenu Ananija, da je vstopil in položil na-nj roko, da spregleda.
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
Ananija pa odgovorí: Gospod! slišal sem od mnogih za tega moža, koliko hudega je storil svetim tvojim v Jeruzalemu.
14 And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”
In tu ima oblast od vélikih duhovnov vezati vse, kteri kličejo ime tvoje.
15 “Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.
Pa mu Gospod reče: Pojdi; kajti posoda izvoljena mi je on, da ponese ime moje pred pogane in kralje, in sinove Izraelove.
16 I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”
Jaz namreč mu bom pokazal, koliko mu je treba za ime moje pretrpeti.
17 So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
In Ananija odide, in vnide v hišo, in položivši na-nj roke, reče: Savel brat! Gospod me je poslal, Jezus, kteri ti se je prikazal na poti, po kterej si šel, da spregledaš in se napolniš Duha svetega.
18 At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,
In precej so odpadle od očî njegovih kakor luskinje, in spregledal je precej, in vstavši, krstil se je;
19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
In vzemši jedí, okrepčal se je. Bil je pa Savel z učenci, kteri so bili v Damasku, nekaj dnî,
20 Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”
In precej je po shajališčih oznanjeval Jezusa, da je on sin Božji.
21 All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
In zavzemali so se vsi, kteri so poslušali, in govorili so: Ni li ta tisti, ki je pregnal v Jeruzalemu te, kteri so klicali to ime, in je za to sem prišel, da jih povezane popelje vélikim duhovnom?
22 But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
Savel pa je če dalje močneji prihajal, in osramotoval je Jude, kteri so prebivali v Damasku, dokazujoč, da je ta Kristus.
23 After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,
Ko je pa minolo dosti dní, posvetujejo se Judje, da bi ga umorili.
24 but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.
Ali Savel zvé njih zalezovanje. In stražili so pri vratih noč in dan, da bi ga umorili.
25 One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.
Ali učenci ga vzemó po noči, in spusté po zidu, po vrvi v koši.
26 When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Ko je pa prišel Savel v Jeruzalem, izkusil se je pridružiti učencem; ali vsi so se ga bali, ker niso verjeli, da je učenec.
27 Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who spoke to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.
Barnaba ga pa vzeme in pripelje k aposteljnom, in razloží jim, kako je bil na poti videl Gospoda, in da je ž njim govoril, in kako je v Damasku srčno oznanjeval ime Jezusovo.
28 So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
In prebival je ž njimi v Jeruzalemu; in srčno je oznanjeval ime Gospoda Jezusa.
29 He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.
In govoril je in se prepiral z Grki; a oni so gledali, da bi ga umorili.
30 When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
Zvedevši pa to bratje, odpeljejo ga dol v Cezarejo, in pošljejo ga v Tars.
31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced a time of peace. It grew in strength and numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.
In cerkve po vsej Judeji in Galileji in Samariji so imele mir, in utrjevale so se, in hodile so v strahu Gospodovem, in umnoževale so se s tolažbo Duha svetega.
32 As Peter traveled throughout the area, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.
Zgodí se pa, da Peter, ko je obiskoval vse, pride tudi k svetim, kteri so prebivali v Lidi.
33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.
In tu najde nekega človeka Eneja po imenu, kteri je uže osem let ležal na odru, in je bil mrtvouden.
34 “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up,
In reče mu Peter: Eneja! Jezus Kristus te uzdravlja; vstani in postelji si sam. In precej je vstal.
35 and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
In videli so ga vsi, kteri so prebivali v Lidi in Saronu, in izpreobrnili so se h Gospodu.
36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated as Dorcas), who was always occupied with works of kindness and charity.
A v Jopi je bila neka učenka po imenu Tabita (ktera se, če raztolmačiš, imenuje Srna); ta je bila polna dobrih del in miloščin, ktere je dajala.
37 At that time, however, she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upper room.
Zgodilo pa se je v te dni, da je zbolela in umrla; in omivši jo, položili so jo v vrhnjo izbo.
38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”
Ker je pa Lida blizu Jope, in so učenci slišali, da je Peter v njej, pošljejo dva moža k njemu, proseč, naj ne odlaša priti do njih.
39 So Peter got up and went with them. On his arrival, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
Vstavši pa Peter, odide ž njima; in ko pride, odpeljejo ga v vrhnjo izbo, in obstopijo ga vse vdove, jokajoč in pokazujoč suknje in oblačila, ktera jim je delala Srna, dokler je bila ž njimi.
40 Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
Izgnavši pa vse ven Peter, poklekne in moli; in obrnivši se k truplu, reče: Tabita, vstani! In ona odpre očí svoje; in ko ugleda Petra, sede.
41 Peter took her by the hand and helped her up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive.
In podavši jej roko, vzdigne jo; in poklicavši svete in vdove, pokaže jo živo.
42 This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
In razglasí se po vsej Jopi, in veliko jih je verovalo v Gospoda.
43 And Peter stayed for several days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Zgodí pa se, da je dosti dnî prebil v Jopi pri nekem Simonu strojarji.
