Acts 6
1 Now in those days, as the disciples were multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution.
V te dní pa, ko so se učenci množili, vstane godrnjanje Grkov zoper Hebrejce, da se pri vsakdanjej delitvi njih vdove zanemarjajo.
2 So summoning the multitude of the disciples the twelve said: “It is not advantageous that we should forsake the Word of God to serve at tables.
In dvanajsteri pokličejo množico učencev, in rekó: To ne gre, da bi mi besedo Božjo opuščali, in oskrbljevali mize.
3 Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we will appoint over this need.
Ozrite se torej, bratje, po sedmih možéh poštenih izmed sebe, kteri so polni Duha svetega in modrosti, da jih postavimo nad tem opravilom;
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.”
A mi se bomo molitve in službe besede držali.
5 The statement pleased the whole multitude; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicholas, a proselyte from Antioch,
In ta beseda je bila vsej množici po godi; ter izvolijo Štefana, moža polnega vere in Duha svetega, in Filipa, in Prohora, in Nikanora, Timona in Parmena, in Nikolaja izpreobrnjenca iz Antijohije.
6 whom they set before the Apostles; and after praying they laid hands on them.
Te postavijo pred aposteljne; in molivši, položé na-nje roke.
7 Well the Word of God kept spreading, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem kept multiplying at a great rate, and a large company of the priests were obeying the faith.
In beseda Božja je rastla, in število učencev se je silno množilo v Jeruzalemu; tudi velika truma duhovnov je bila pokorna veri.
8 While Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.
Štefan pa, poln vere in moči, delal je čudeže in velika znamenja med ljudmi.
9 Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen.
In vstane jih nekaj iz shajališča, ktero se imenuje Libertinsko in Cirenejsko in Aleksandrinsko, in teh, kteri so bili iz Cilicije in Azije, in prepirali so se s Štefanom;
10 And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Ali niso se mogli upirati modrosti in Duhu, po kterem je govoril.
11 Then they instigated men to say, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
Tedaj podšuntajo možé, kteri naj bi rekli: Slišali smo ga govoriti kletvine zoper Mojzesa in Boga.
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders and the scribes; and coming upon him they seized him, and brought him in to the Sanhedrin;
Ter nadražijo ljudstvo in starešine in pismarje, in napadejo in zgrabijo ga, in pripeljejo v zbor,
13 and they put forward false witnesses who said: “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against the holy place and the law;
In postavijo krive priče, ktere so govorile: Ta človek ne neha govoriti kletvin zoper to sveto mesto in postavo.
14 for we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Natsorean will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses delivered to us.”
Slišali smo ga namreč, da pravi: Ta Jezus Nazarečan bo razdel to mesto, in premenil bo šege, ktere nam je izročil Mojzes.
15 All who sat in the council, looking intently at him, saw his face like the face of an angel.
In pogledavši na-nj vsi, kteri so sedeli v zboru, videli so obličje njegovo kakor obličje angelja.
