< Acts 19 >

1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,
Zgodí se pa, ko je bil Apolo v Korintu, da Pavel, prehodivši gorenje strani, pride v Efez; in ko je našel nekaj učencev,
2 he said to them, Did ye receive [the] Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they [said] to him, We did not even hear if [the] Holy Spirit was [come].
Reče jim: Ali ste prejeli Duha svetega, ko ste postali verni? Oni mu pa rekó: Saj še slišali nismo, da je sveti Duh.
3 And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John.
In reče jim: Na kaj torej ste se krstili? Oni pa rekó: Na krst Janezov.
4 And Paul said, John indeed baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.
Pavel pa reče: Janez je krstil s krstom spokore, govoreč ljudstvu, da naj verujejo v tega, kteri bo za njim prišel, to je v Kristusa Jezusa.
5 And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.
Ko so pa to slišali, krstili so se v ime Gospoda Jezusa.
6 And Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
In ko je položil Pavel roke na-nje, prišel je sveti Duh na-nje, in govorili so jezike in prerokovali.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Bilo je pa vseh móž kakih dvanajst.
8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading [the things] concerning the kingdom of God.
In ko je prišel v shajališče, govoril je srčno, tri mesece prepirajoč se in učeč o kraljestvu Božjem.
9 But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
Ko so bili pa nekteri otrpneli in niso hoteli pokorni biti, hudo govoreč o potu Gospodovem pred množico, odstopil je od njih, in odločil je učence, in učil je vsak dan v šoli nekega Tirana.
10 And this took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
In to se je godilo dve leti, tako, da so vsi, kteri so prebivali v Aziji, slišali besedo Gospoda Jezusa, Judje in Grki.
11 And God wrought no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
In čudeže ne majhne je delal Bog po rokah Pavlovih;
12 so that even napkins or aprons were brought from his body [and put] upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out.
Tako, da so na bolnike pokladali potne prte od života njegovega in opasnike, in puščale so jih bolezni, in duhovi hudobni so izhajali iž njih.
13 And certain of the Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.
In izkušali so nekteri izmed Judov, kteri so okrog hodili in hudiče rotili, klicati na tiste, kteri so imeli duhove hudobne, ime Gospoda Jezusa, govoreč: Zaklinjamo vas pri Jezusu, kterega Pavel oznanjuje.
14 And there were certain [men], seven sons of Sceva, Jewish high priest, who were doing this.
Bilo je pa nekih sedem sinov Skeve Juda, vélikega duhovna, kteri so to delali.
15 But the wicked spirit answering said to them, Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but ye, who are ye?
Odgovarjajoč pa duh hudobni, reče: Jezusa poznam, in Pavla vém; vi pa, kdo ste?
16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, and having mastered both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
In skočivši človek, v kterem je bil duh hudobni, na-nje, premagal jih je, in zdelal jih je tako, da so nagi in ranjeni ubežali iz tiste hiše.
17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who inhabited Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
To je pa prišlo na znanje vsem Judom in Grkom, kteri so prebivali v Efezu; in obšel jih je strah vse, in poveličevalo se je ime Gospoda Jezusa.
18 And many of those that believed came confessing and declaring their deeds.
In mnogo teh, kteri so verovali, dohajalo je in izpovedovali so se, in razodevali so dela svoja.
19 And many of those that practised curious arts brought their books [of charms] and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
A mnogi tistih, kteri so uganjali vraže, znesli so bukve, in sežgali so jih pred vsemi; in ko so preudarili njih ceno, našli so, da so veljale petdeset tisoči srebrnikov.
20 Thus with might the word of the Lord increased and prevailed.
Tako krepko je beseda Božja rastla in utrjevala se.
21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome also.
A ko se je to dopolnilo, nameni Pavel v duhu, da prehodivši Macedonijo in Ahajo, pojde v Jeruzalem, in reče: Po tem, ko bom tam, moram tudi Rim videti.
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those ministering to him, Timotheus and Erastus, he remained himself awhile in Asia.
In poslal je v Macedonijo dva od tistih, kteri so mu služili, Timoteja in Erasta; a sam je ostal nekaj časa v Aziji.
23 And there took place at that time no small disturbance about the way.
Vstal je pa v ta čas ne majhen hrup za voljo pota Gospodovega.
24 For a certain [man] by name Demetrius, a silver-beater, making silver temples of Artemis, brought no small gain to the artisans;
Neki Demetrij namreč po imenu, srebrar, ki je delal Dijani srebrne cerkvice, dajal je umetnikom ne malo dela;
25 whom having brought together, and those who wrought in such things, he said, Men, ye know that our well-living arises from this work,
In sklicavši te, in druge takošne delalce, reče: Možjé! véste, da imamo od tega dela zaslužek svoj;
26 and ye see and hear that this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great crowd, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying that they are no gods which are made with hands.
In vidite in slišite, da ne samo v Efezu, nego skoro po vsej Aziji je ta Pavel veliko ljudstva pregovoril in odvrnil, govoreč, da bogovi, kteri so z rokami narejeni, niso bogovi.
27 Now not only there is danger for us that our business come into discredit, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the whole of Asia and the world reveres.
Ni pa samo to v nevarnosti, da bo delo naše na nič prišlo, nego tudi vélike boginje Dijane tempelj se bo za nič štel, in poginilo bo veličastvo te, ktero vsa Azija in ves svet častí.
28 And having heard [this], and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
Ko so pa to slišali, napolnijo se jeze, in kričali so, govoreč: Velika je Dijana Efežanov!
29 And the [whole] city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
In napolni se vse mesto zmešnjave; in zaženó se enodušno na gledališče, in zgrabijo Gaja in Aristarha, Macedonca tovariša Pavlova.
30 But Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples suffered him not;
Ko je pa Pavel hotel vniti med ljudstvo, niso mu pustili.
31 and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre.
Pa tudi nekteri od Azijskih poglavarjev, kteri so mu bili prijatelji, poslali so k njemu, in prosili so ga, naj se ne podá v gledališče.
32 Different persons therefore cried out some different thing; for the assembly was tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come together.
Vpili so pa eni to, drugi drugo; kajti bil je zbor poln zmešnjave, in največ jih je bilo med njimi, kteri niso vedeli, po kaj so se sešli.
33 But from among the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defence to the people.
A nekteri izmed ljudstva so izvlekli Aleksandra, ko so ga Judje naprej tiščali; Aleksander pa zamahme z rokó, da naj umolknejo, in hotel je ljudstvu odgovoriti.
34 But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
Ko so pa spoznali, da je Jud, vzdignejo vsi en glas, in vpili so kaki dve uri: Velika je Dijana Efežanov!
35 And the townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven?
Pisar pa, ko je ljudstvo upokojil, reče: Možjé Efežani! kdo pa je človek, kteri ne vé, da mesto Efežanov častí véliko boginjo Dijano in od Jupiterja padlo podobo?
36 These things therefore being undeniable, it is necessary that ye should be calm and do nothing headlong.
Ker se torej to ne more tajiti, treba je, da se umirite, in ne delate nič naglo.
37 For ye have brought these men, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your goddess.
Kajti pripeljali ste te ljudí, kteri niso ne tempeljna oropali, ne boginje vaše preklinjali.
38 If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who [are] with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
Če imajo pa Demetrij in umetniki, kteri so ž njim, tožbo zoper koga, sodnije so, in namestniki so; naj tožijo eden drugega.
39 But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Če pa kaj drugega iščete, obravnalo se bo v postavnem zboru.
40 For also we are in danger to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
Kajti v nevarnosti smo, da bomo zatoženi za voljo današnjega punta, ko nimamo nobenega vzroka, s kterim bi mogli odgovor dati za ta hrup.
41 And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
In rekši to, razpustil je zbor.
