Acts 6
1 And in those dayes, as the nomber of ye disciples grewe, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians towards ye Hebrewes, because their widowes were neglected in the dayly ministring.
In v tistih dneh, ko je bilo število učencev pomnoženo, je nastalo mrmranje Grkov zoper Hebrejce, ker so bile njihove vdove zapostavljene pri vsakodnevni oskrbi.
2 Then the twelue called the multitude of the disciples together, and sayd, It is not meete that we should leaue the worde of God to serue the tables.
Potem je dvanajsterica k sebi poklicala množico učencev in rekla: »To ni razlog, da bi opuščali Božjo besedo in stregli [pri] mizah.
3 Wherefore brethren, looke ye out among you seuen men of honest report, and full of the holy Ghost, and of wisedome, which we may appoint to this busines.
Zatorej bratje, poiščite med seboj sedem mož, na dobrem glasu, polnih Svetega Duha in modrosti, ki jim lahko določimo to opravilo.
4 And we will giue our selues continually to prayer, and to the ministration of the worde.
Toda mi se bomo predali v nenehno molitev in službo besede.«
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Steuen a man full of fayth and of the holy Ghost, and Philippe, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a Proselyte of Antiochia,
In ta beseda je ugajala vsej množici. In izbrali so Štefana, moža, polnega vere in Svetega Duha in Filipa in Prohorja in Nikánorja in Timona in Parmenája ter Nikolaja, spreobrnjenca iz Antiohije,
6 Which they set before the Apostles: and they prayed, and layed their hands on them.
ki jih so postavili pred apostole. In ko so molili, so nanje položili svoje roke.
7 And the worde of God increased, and the nomber of the disciples was multipled in Hierusalem greatly, and a great company of the Priests were obedient to the faith.
In Božja beseda je rasla in število učencev v Jeruzalemu se je silno pomnožilo in velika skupina duhovnikov je bila pokorna veri.
8 Now Steuen full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
In Štefan je, poln vere in moči, delal med ljudmi velike čudeže in čudežne moči.
9 Then there arose certaine of the Synagogue, which are called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, and disputed with Steuen.
Potem so vstali nekateri iz sinagoge, ki se je imenovala sinagoga Libertincev in Cirencev in Aleksandríncev in teh iz Kilikije ter iz Azije in so razpravljali s Štefanom.
10 But they were not able to resist the wisdome, and the Spirit by the which he spake.
Niso pa se mogli upirati modrosti in duhu, po katerem je govoril.
11 Then they suborned men, which saide, We haue heard him speake blasphemous wordes against Moses, and God.
Tedaj so podkupili može, ki so rekli: »Slišali smo ga govoriti bogokletne besede zoper Mojzesa in zoper Boga.«
12 Thus they mooued the people and the Elders, and the Scribes: and running vpon him, caught him, and brought him to the Councill,
In razvneli so ljudi in starešine ter pisarje in prišli nad njega in ga zgrabili ter ga privedli k vélikemu zboru
13 And set forth false witnesses, which sayd, This man ceasseth not to speake blasphemous wordes against this holy place, and the Law.
in postavili krive priče, ki so rekle: »Ta človek ne preneha govoriti bogokletnih besed proti temu svetemu prostoru in postavi,
14 For we haue heard him say, that this Iesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the ordinances, which Moses gaue vs.
kajti slišali smo ga govoriti, da bo ta Jezus Nazarečan uničil ta kraj in spremenil običaje, ki nam jih je izročil Mojzes.«
15 And as all that sate in the Councill, looked stedfastly on him, they saw his face as it had bene the face of an Angel.
In vsi, ki so sedeli v vélikem zboru, so neomajno zrli vanj in videli njegov obraz, kot bi bil obraz angela.
