Acts 24
1 AND after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
Črez pet dnî pa snide véliki duhoven Ananija s starešinami in govornikom nekim Tertulom; in ti pridejo pred poglavarja zoper Pavla.
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
Ko je bil pa poklican, začne tožiti Tertul, govoreč:
3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
Da imamo veliko mirú po tebi, in pravice in sreče, ktero se narodu temu godé po tvojej previdnosti, vselej in povsodi, častiti Feliks! sprejemamo z vso hvaležnostjo.
4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
Ali da te ne bom dalje nadlegoval, prosim, da bi nas poslušal ob kratkem po svojej dobroti.
5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
Našli smo namreč tega človeka, da je kuga, in budí punt zoper vse Jude po vsem svetu, in je vodnik ločinki Nazaretskej,
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
Kteri je izkusil tudi tempelj oskruniti; kterega smo tudi zgrabili in po svojej postavi hoteli soditi;
7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
Ali prišel je Lizija jezernik, ter ga je z veliko silo iz rok naših odpeljal,
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
Ukazavši tožnikom njegovim, naj gremo k tebi; od njega boš mogel sam, ko izprašaš, vse to zvedeti, za kar ga mi tožimo.
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
Pritrdili pa so tudi Judje, govoreč, da je to tako.
10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
Pavel pa odgovorí, ko mu je poglavar namignil, da naj govorí: Ker vém, da si veliko let sèm sodnik temu narodu, odgovarjal bom to, kar se mene tiče, toliko srčneje:
11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
Ko lahko zvéš, da ni več, kakor dvanajst dnî, kar sem prišel molit v Jeruzalem.
12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
In niso me našli v tempeljnu, da bi se bil s kom prepiral ali da bi bil napravljal hrup med ljudstvom, ne po shajališčih, ne po mestu;
13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
In tudi izkazati ne morejo, za kar me sedaj tožijo.
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
To ti pa priznavam, da po poti, ktero imenujejo ločinko, tako služim Boga očakov, verovaje vse, kar je po postavi in v prerokih pisano,
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
Upanje imajoč na Boga, kterega tudi oni sami čakajo, da bo vstajanje mrtvim, pravičnim in nepravičnim.
16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
V tem si pa sam prizadevam, da bi brezmadežno vest imel pred Bogom in ljudmí vsegdar.
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
Črez več pa let sem prišel miloščino delit narodu svojemu in daritve;
18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
Pri tem so me našli očiščenega v tempeljnu, ne z ljudstvom ne s hrupom, neki Judje iz Azije,
19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
Kteri bi imeli predte priti in tožiti, če kaj imajo zoper mene.
20 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
Ali naj ti sami povedó, če so našli krivico na meni, ko sem stal pred zborom;
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
Razen za voljo tega edinega glasú, s kterim sem zavpil, stoječ med njimi: Za voljo vstajanja mrtvih me sodite danes.
22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
Slišavši pa to Feliks, odloží jim, na tanko vedoč, kar ta pot zadeva, in reče: Kedar Lizija jezernik snide, razsodil bom vašo stvar.
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
In ukazal je stotniku, da se ima Pavel varovati, in da naj se nikomur od njegovih ne brani streči mu ali dohajati k njemu.
24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
A črez nekaj dnî pride Feliks z Družilo ženo svojo, ktera je bila Judinja, in pokliče Pavla, in slišal ga je o veri v Kristusa.
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
Ko je pa govoril on o pravici in zdržljivosti in prihodnjej sodbi, uplaši se Feliks, in odgovorí: Za sedaj pojdi; a kedar bom prigoden čas imel, poklical te bom.
26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
Zraven se je pa tudi nadejal, da mu bo Pavel dal denarja, da bi ga izpustil; za to ga je tudi pogostoma klical in se razgovarjal ž njim.
27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
Ko ste se pa izpolnili dve leti, prejme Feliks nastopnika Porcija Festa; hoteč pa Feliks Judom ugoditi, pustil je Pavla zvezanega.
