Acts 15
1 Then some men arrived from Judea who started teaching the believers, “Unless you're circumcised according to the rules set down by Moses, you can't be saved.”
Neki ljudje, ki so prišli dol iz Judeje, pa so učili brate in govorili: »Razen če ne boste obrezani po Mojzesovem običaju, ne morete biti rešeni.«
2 Paul and Barnabas had many arguments and debates with them. So Paul and Barnabas and some others were appointed to go to Jerusalem and talk to the apostles and leaders there about this issue.
Ko sta imela torej Pavel in Barnaba z njimi ne majhno razhajanje mnenj ter se z njimi pričkala, so odločili, da naj bi glede tega vprašanja Pavel in Barnaba ter nekateri drugi izmed njih šli gor v Jeruzalem, k apostolom in starešinam.
3 The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they explained how foreigners were being converted, which made all the believers very happy.
In na njihovo pot spremljani s cerkvijo, so šli skozi Fenikijo in Samarijo in razglašali spreobrnitev poganov in vsem bratom so napravili veliko radost.
4 When they arrived in Jerusalem they were welcomed by the church members, the apostles, and the elders. They explained everything God had done through them.
In ko so prišli v Jeruzalem, so bili sprejeti od cerkve in od apostolov ter starešin in razglasili so vse stvari, ki jih je Bog z njimi storil.
5 But they were opposed by some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisee faction. They said, “These converts have to be circumcised, and instructed to observe the law of Moses.”
Toda vstali so nekateri iz ločine farizejev, ki so verovali, rekoč: »Da jih je treba obrezati in jim naročiti, naj se držijo Mojzesove postave.«
6 The apostles and elders met together to discuss the issue.
In apostoli in starešine so prišli skupaj, da preudarijo o tej besedi.
7 After much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that some time ago God chose me from among you so that the foreigners could hear the message of good news and trust in Jesus.
In ko je bilo mnogo razpravljanja, je vstal Peter ter jim rekel: »Možje in bratje, vi veste, kako to, da je Bog pred davnim časom naredil med nami izbiro, da naj bi pogani po mojih ustih slišali besedo evangelija in verovali.
8 God, who knows thewhat we're thinking, has shown that he accepts them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us.
In Bog, ki pozna srca, jim pričuje, ker jim daje Svetega Duha, prav tako kakor je storil nam
9 He doesn't make any distinction between us and them—he cleansed their thoughts as they trusted in him.
in ni naredil nobene razlike med nami ter njimi, ko je po veri očistil njihova srca.
10 So why do you want to oppose God and put a burden on the believers that our fathers weren't able to bear, and we can't either?
Zakaj torej zdaj skušate Boga, da nadenete na vrat učencev jarem, ki ga niti naši očetje niti mi nismo mogli nositi?
11 We're convinced that we're saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way they are.”
Ampak mi verujemo, da bomo rešeni po milosti Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, prav tako kakor oni.«
12 Everyone listened attentively to Barnabas and Paul as they explained the miraculous signs that God had performed through them among the foreigners.
Potem je vsa množica molčala in poslušala Barnaba in Pavla, ki sta razglašala, kakšne čudežne moči in čudeže je po njiju Bog storil med pogani.
13 After they had finished speaking, James spoke up, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.
In potem, ko so molčali, je Jakob odgovoril, rekoč: »Možje in bratje, prisluhnite mi.
14 Simon has described how God first revealed his concern for the foreigners by taking from them a people committed to him.
Simeon je povedal, kako je Bog najprej obiskal pogane, da vzame izmed njih ljudi za svoje ime.
15 This is in accordance with the words of the prophets, as it's written,
In k temu se ujemajo besede prerokov, kakor je pisano:
16 ‘In the future I will return, and I will rebuild the fallen house of David; I will rebuild its ruins and set it straight.
›Po tem se bom vrnil in ponovno zgradil Davidovo šotorsko svetišče, ki je padlo in ruševine le-tega bom ponovno zgradil in jaz ga bom ponovno postavil,
17 I will do this so that those who are left may come to the Lord, including the foreigners who call on my name.
da bi lahko preostanek ljudi iskal Gospoda in vsi pogani, nad katere je klicano moje ime, govori Gospod, ki dela vse te stvari.‹
Bogu so vsa njegova dela znana od začetka sveta. (aiōn g165)
19 So my decision is that we shouldn't make it difficult for foreigners who turn to God.
Zatorej je moja razsodba, da ne vznemirjamo teh, ki so se iz poganstva obrnili k Bogu,
20 We should write to them and tell them to avoid food sacrificed to idols, sexual immorality, meat of animals that have been strangled, and from consuming blood.
temveč, da jim napišemo, da se vzdržijo pred oskrunitvijo od malikov in pred prešuštvom in pred zadavljenimi stvarmi in pred krvjo.
21 For the law of Moses has been taught in every town for a long, long time—it's read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Kajti Mojzes ima od starih časov v vsakem mestu tiste, ki ga oznanjajo, beroč vsak šabatni dan v sinagogah.«
22 Then the apostles and elders, together with the whole church, decided it would be good to choose some representatives and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas, leaders among the brothers,
Tedaj je apostolom in starešinam s celotno cerkvijo to ugajalo, da s Pavlom in Barnabom pošljejo v Antiohijo izbrana moža iz svoje lastne skupine; namreč Juda, imenovanega z vzdevkom Bársaba in Sila, vodilna moža med brati.
23 and sent them with this letter: “Greetings from us, the apostles and elders and brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
In po njiju so napisali pisma na ta način: ›Apostoli, starešine in bratje pošiljamo pozdrave bratom, ki so izmed poganov v Antiohiji in Siriji ter Kilikiji,
24 We have heard that some from our group have confused you with their teachings, causing you trouble. We certainly didn't tell them to do this!
ker smo slišali, da so vas nekateri, ki so odšli izmed nas, vznemirjali z besedami in spodkopavali vaše duše, rekoč: ›Vi morate biti obrezani in se držati postave, ‹ katerim nismo dali nobene takšne zapovedi.
25 So we have agreed to choose some representatives and send them to you together with our much-loved brothers Barnabas and Paul,
Nam, ki smo soglasno zbrani, se zdi dobro, da z našima ljubljenima Barnabom in Pavlom pošljemo k vam izbrana moža,
26 who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
moža, ki sta svoja življenja tvegala zaradi imena našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
27 So we are sending to you Judas and Silas who can verbally confirm what we're saying.
Poslali smo torej Juda in Sila, ki vam bosta iste stvari povedala ustno.
28 It seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any heavier burden than these important requirements.
Kajti Svetemu Duhu in nam se zdi dobro, da vam ne nalagamo večjega bremena kakor te potrebne stvari:
29 You should avoid: anything sacrificed to idols; blood; meat from strangled animals; and sexual immorality. You will do well to observe these requirements. God bless you.”
da se vzdržite pred hrano, darovano malikom in pred krvjo in pred zadavljenimi stvarmi ter pred prešuštvom. Če sebe obvarujete pred njimi, boste storili v redu. Mnogo uspeha.‹
30 The men were sent on their way to Antioch. When they arrived they called everybody together and delivered the letter.
Torej ko so bili odposlani, so prišli v Antiohijo in ko so skupaj zbrali množico, so izročili poslanico,
31 After they had read it, the people were so happy for the encouraging message.
katere so se, zaradi tolažbe, ko so jo brali, razveselili.
32 Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, encouraged the brothers, explaining many things, and strengthening them.
Juda in Sila, ki sta bila tudi sama preroka, pa sta brate z mnogimi besedami spodbujala in jih krepila.
33 After spending some time there they were sent back by the brothers with their blessing to the believers in Jerusalem.
In potem, ko sta se kratek čas mudila tam, sta od bratov v miru odšla k apostolom.
Vendar je Sili ugajalo, da še ostane tam.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of God along with many others.
Tudi Pavel in Barnaba sta prav tako nadaljevala z mnogimi drugimi v Antiohiji in učila ter oznanjala Gospodovo besedo.
36 Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit the believers in every town where we shared the word of the Lord, and see how they're doing.”
Nekaj dni kasneje je Pavel rekel Barnabu: »Pojdiva ponovno in obiščiva naše brate v vsakem mestu, kjer sva oznanjala Gospodovo besedo in poglejva, kako so.«
37 Barnabas planned to take along John Mark too.
In Barnaba se je odločil, da s seboj vzameta Janeza, katerega vzdevek je bil Marko.
38 But Paul didn't think it was a good idea to take him with them, since he'd left them in Pamphylia and hadn't continued working with them.
Toda Pavlu se ni zdelo dobro z njima vzeti tistega, ki je iz Pamfilije odšel od njiju in z njima ni odšel na delo.
39 They had such a strong disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed to Cyprus.
Spor med njima pa je bil tako oster, da sta se ločila narazen drug od drugega. In tako je Barnaba vzel Marka ter odjadral na Ciper,
40 Paul chose Silas, and as they left, the believers committed them to the grace of the Lord.
Pavel pa je izbral Sila in odšel, od bratov priporočen Božji milosti.
41 Paul traveled through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the churches there.
In odšel je skozi Sirijo in Kilikijo in krepil cerkve.
