Acts 26
1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
Agripa pa Pavlu reče: Dopušča ti se, da sam zase govoriš. Tedaj se je Pavel zagovarjal, stegnivši roko:
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
Srečnega se štejem, kralj Agripa, da se imam danes pred teboj zagovarjati za vse, česar me Judje dolžé:
3 Especially [because I know] thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
Zlasti, ker vém, da poznaš vse šege in prepire, kteri so med Judi: za to te prosim, da bi me potrpežljivo poslušal.
4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
Življenje torej moje od mladosti, kakošno je bilo od začetka med narodom mojim v Jeruzalemu, vedó vsi Judje,
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Poznajoč me od začetka (če hočejo pričati), da sem po najostrejšej ločinki vere naše živel ko Farizej.
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
In sedaj stojim pred sodbo za voljo upanja obljube, ktero je obljubil Bog očetom našim;
7 Unto which [promise] our twelve tribes, instantly serving [God] day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
Ktero dvanajsteri rodovi naši, služeč Bogu noč in dan, upajo doseči. Za voljo tega upanja sem, kralj Agripa! tožen od Judov.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
Kaj? Neverjetno vam se zdí, da Bog mrtve obuja?
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Tudi jaz sem sicer menil, da moram zoper ime Jezusa Nazarečana veliko nasprotnega storiti;
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against [them].
Kar sem tudi storil v Jeruzalemu, in veliko svetih sem jaz v ječe zaprl, ko sem bil od vélikih duhovnov oblast prejel. In ko so jih morili, pristajal sem na sodbo.
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled [them] to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted [them] even unto strange cities.
In po vseh shajališčih sem jih pogosto mučil in silil preklinjati: in neizmerno sem divjal zoper nje, in preganjal sem jih tudi noter do vnanjih mest;
12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
In ko sem za tega voljo šel v Damask z oblastjo in dovoljenjem od vélikih duhovnov:
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
O poldne na potu sem videl, kralj, z neba luč svetlejšo od svetlobe solnčne, ktera je obsijala mene in tiste, kteri so bili z menoj.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
In ko smo vsi padli na zemljo, slišal sem glas, da mi pravi v Hebrejskem jeziku: Savel! Savel! kaj me preganjaš? Težko ti je proti ostnu brcati.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Jaz sem pa rekel: Kdo si, Gospod? On pa reče: Jaz sem Jezus, kterega ti preganjaš.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
Ali vstani in stopi na noge svoje; za to namreč sem ti se prikazal, da te naredim za služabnika in pričo tega, kar si videl, in tega, v čemer ti se bom pokazoval;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
In otél te bom od ljudstva in poganov, med ktere te sedaj pošiljam,
18 To open their eyes, [ and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Da jim odpreš očí, da se izpreobrnejo od teme k luči, in od oblasti satanove k Bogu: da prejmó odpuščanje grehov, in delež med svetimi po veri, ktera je v mene.
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
Za to, kralj Agripa! nisem bil nepokoren nebeškej prikazni,
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and [then] to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
Nego sem najprej tem, kteri so v Damasku in v Jeruzalemu, in po vsej deželi Judejskej, a po tem poganom oznanil, naj se spokoré in izpreobrnejo k Bogu, delajoč vredna dela pokore.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill [me].
Za tega voljo so me Judje v tempeljnu zgrabili in izkusili z rokami umoriti.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
Ali dobivši pomoč, ktera je od Boga, stojim do današnjega dné, in pričam malim in velikim, ne govoreč nič drugega nego, kar so govorili preroki, da se bo zgodilo, in Mojzes:
23 That Christ should suffer, [and] that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
Da bo Kristus trpel, in da bo, prvi iz vstajanja mrtvih, luč oznanjeval narodu in poganom.
24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
Ko je pa to odgovarjal, reče Fest z močnim glasom: Mešaš se, Pavel! Velika učenost tvoja ti jemlje um.
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
On pa reče: Ne mešam se, vrli Fest, nego besede resnice in razumnosti govorim.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
Saj vé za to kralj, pred kterim tudi svobodno govorim; ne verujem namreč, da bi mu bilo od tega kaj neznano: kajti to se ni godilo v kotu.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
Veruješ, kralj Agripa, prerokom? Vém, da veruješ.
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
Agripa pa Pavlu reče: Malo, pa me boš pregovoril, da Kristjan postanem.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
Pavel pa reče: Želel bi od Boga, da, bodi si malo ali veliko, da ne bi samo ti, nego tudi vsi, kteri poslušajo danes, takošni bili, karkošen sem tudi jaz, razen vezî teh.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
In ko je to izgovoril, vstane kralj in poglavar, in Bernika, in kteri so ž njimi sedeli;
31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
In ko so bili na stran odšli, razgovarjali so se, govoreč: Ta človek ni nič smrti ali vezî vrednega storil.
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cæsar.
Agripa pa Festu reče: Izpustil bi se lahko ta človek, da se ni sklical na cesarja.
