Acts 17
1 And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews.
Torej ko sta šla skozi Amfípolo in Apolonijo sta prišla do Tesaloníke, kjer je bila judovska sinagoga.
2 And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures,
In kakor je bila njegova navada, je Pavel vstopil k njim in tri šabatne dneve z njimi razpravljal iz pisem,
3 opening and laying down that the Christ must have suffered and risen up from among the dead, and that this is the Christ, Jesus whom I announce to you.
razkrival in trdil, da je Kristus brezpogojno moral trpeti in ponovno vstati od mrtvih in da je ta Jezus, ki vam ga oznanjam, Kristus.
4 And some of them believed, and joined themselves to Paul and Silas, and of the Greeks who worshipped, a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
In nekateri izmed njih so verovali in se družili s Pavlom in Silom, in velika množica izmed predanih Grkov ter ne malo izmed vodilnih žensk.
5 But the Jews having been stirred up to jealousy, and taken to [themselves] certain wicked men of the lowest rabble, and having got a crowd together, set the city in confusion; and having beset the house of Jason sought to bring them out to the people;
Toda Judje, ki niso verovali, so prevzeti z zavistjo, vzeli k sebi neke ničvredne pajdaše iz prostaške sorte in zbrali skupino in po vsem mestu zanetili vstajo ter napadli Jazonovo hišo in si prizadevali, da ju privedejo k ljudstvu [dežele].
6 and not having found them, dragged Jason and certain brethren before the politarchs, crying out, These [men] that have set the world in tumult, are come here also,
Ko pa ju niso našli, so Jazona in neke brate odvlekli k vladarjem mesta ter kričali: »Tile, ki so obrnili svet na glavo, so prišli tudi sèm,
7 whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus.
ki jih je sprejel Jazon, in vsi ti delajo nasprotno cesarjevim odlokom, rekoč, da obstaja drug kralj, nek Jezus.«
8 And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things.
In vznemirili so množico in mestne vladarje, ko so slišali te stvari.
9 And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.
In ko so od Jazona in od drugih prejeli varščino, so jih izpustili.
10 But the brethren immediately sent away, in the night, Paul and Silas to Berea; who, being arrived, went away into the synagogue of the Jews.
In bratje so Pavla ter Sila takoj ponoči odposlali v Berójo. Ko sta prispela tja, sta odšla v judovsko sinagogo.
11 And these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, receiving the word with all readiness of mind, daily searching the scriptures if these things were so.
Ti so bili plemenitejši, kakor tisti v Tesaloníki, ker so z vso prisebnostjo sprejeli besedo in dnevno preiskovali pisma, če so bile te stvari take.
12 Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.
Zato so mnogi izmed njih verovali, tudi častitljive ženske, ki so bile Grkinje in izmed mož ne malo.
13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was announced in Berea also by Paul, they came there also, stirring up the crowds.
Toda ko so Judje iz Tesaloníke spoznali, da je Pavel Božjo besedo oznanjal v Beróji, so prišli tudi tja in razvneli množico.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.
In potem so bratje Pavla takoj odposlali, da gre, kot bi bilo k morju, toda Sila in Timótej sta še vedno ostala tam.
15 But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and, having received a commandment to Silas and Timotheus, that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.
In ti, ki so spremljali Pavla, so ga privedli v Atene in ko so prejeli zapoved za Sila in Timóteja, naj z vso naglico prideta k njemu, so odšli.
16 But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up to idolatry.
Torej medtem ko je Pavel v Atenah čakal nanju, je bil njegov duh v njem razvnet, ko je videl mesto v celoti predano malikovanju.
17 He reasoned therefore in the synagogue with the Jews, and those who worshipped, and in the market-place every day with those he met with.
Zato se je v sinagogi prerekal z Judi in s predanimi osebami in vsakodnevno na trgu s temi, ki so se srečevali z njim.
18 But some also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers attacked him. And some said, What would this chatterer say? and some, He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons, because he announced the glad tidings of Jesus and the resurrection [to them].
Potem so mu ugovarjali neki filozofi izmed epikurejcev in izmed stoikov. In nekateri so rekli: »Kaj hoče povedati ta blebetavec?« Drugi nekako: »Zdi se, da je oznanjevalec tujih bogov, « ker jim je oznanjal Jezusa in vstajenje.
19 And having taken hold on him they brought [him] to Areopagus, saying, Might we know what this new doctrine which is spoken by thee [is]?
In prijeli so ga ter ga privedli na Areopag, rekoč: »Ali lahko izvemo, kakšen je ta novi nauk, o katerem govoriš?«
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We wish therefore to know what these things may mean.
Kajti v naša ušesa prinašaš nekatere čudne besede. Hočemo torej izvedeti, kaj te stvari pomenijo.
21 Now all [the] Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news.
(Kajti vsi Atenci in tujci, ki so bili tam, svojega časa niso porabljali za nič drugega, razen da so ali govorili ali poslušali kako novo stvar.)
22 And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;
Tedaj je Pavel na sredi Marsovega hriba vstal in rekel: » Vi atenski možje, zaznavam, da ste v vseh stvareh preveč vraževerni.
23 for, passing through and beholding your shrines, I found also an altar on which was inscribed, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye reverence, not knowing [him], him I announce to you.
Kajti ko sem šel mimo in gledal vaše predmete čaščenja, sem našel oltar s tem napisom: NEPOZNANEMU BOGU. Katerega torej vi nevedno obožujete, tega vam jaz razglašam.
24 The God who has made the world and all things which are in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
Bog, ki je naredil svet in vse stvari na njem, glede na to, da je on Gospodar neba in zemlje, ne prebiva v templjih, narejenimi z rokami,
25 nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;
tudi ni oboževan s človeškimi rokami, kakor da karkoli potrebuje, glede na to, da vsem daje življenje in dihanje in vse stvari
26 and has made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained times and the boundaries of their dwelling,
in je iz ene krvi naredil vse narode ljudi, da prebivajo na vsem obličju zemlje in je vnaprej določil določene čase in meje njihovega prebivanja,
27 that they may seek God; if indeed they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one of us:
da bi iskali Gospoda, če bi ga morda dotipali in ga našli, čeprav ni daleč od vsakega izmed nas.
28 for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.
Kajti v njem živimo in se gibljemo in obstajamo, kakor so rekli celó nekateri izmed vaših lastnih pesnikov: ›Kajti tudi mi smo njegovo potomstvo.‹
29 Being therefore [the] offspring of God, we ought not to think that which is divine to be like gold or silver or stone, [the] graven form of man's art and imagination.
Kot smo torej zagotovo potomstvo Boga, ne bi smeli misliti, da je Božanstvo podobno zlatu ali srebru ali kamnu, vrezanemu od umetnika in [s] človeško pripravo.
30 God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,
In nad časi te nevednosti je Bog zamižal, toda sedaj povsod vsem ljudem zapoveduje, da se pokesajo,
31 because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by [the] man whom he has appointed, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raised him from among [the] dead.
kajti določil je dan, na katerega bo sodil svet v pravičnosti, po tem možu, ki ga je določil. O tem je dal zagotovilo vsem ljudem, ker ga je obudil od mrtvih.«
32 And when they heard [of the] resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.
Ko pa so slišali o vstajenju mrtvih, so se nekateri posmehovali, drugi pa so rekli: »Oh tej zadevi te bomo ponovno poslušali.«
33 Thus Paul went out of their midst.
Tako je Pavel odšel izmed njih.
34 But some men joining themselves to him believed; among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.
Vendar so se mu določeni možje trdno pridružili in verovali, med katerimi je bil Dionizij Areopagít in ženska, po imenu Dámaris in drugi z njima.
