Acts 6
1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
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 twelve called the multitude of the disciples [unto them], and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve 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, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Zatorej bratje, poiščite med seboj sedem mož, na dobrem glasu, polnih Svetega Duha in modrosti, ki jim lahko določimo to opravilo.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
Toda mi se bomo predali v nenehno molitev in službo besede.«
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
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 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid [their] hands on them.
ki jih so postavili pred apostole. In ko so molili, so nanje položili svoje roke.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem 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 And Stephen, 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 certain of the synagogue, which is called [the synagogue] of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
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 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
Niso pa se mogli upirati modrosti in duhu, po katerem je govoril.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.
Tedaj so podkupili može, ki so rekli: »Slišali smo ga govoriti bogokletne besede zoper Mojzesa in zoper Boga.«
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon [him], and caught him, and brought [him] to the council,
In razvneli so ljudi in starešine ter pisarje in prišli nad njega in ga zgrabili ter ga privedli k vélikemu zboru
13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words 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 have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
kajti slišali smo ga govoriti, da bo ta Jezus Nazarečan uničil ta kraj in spremenil običaje, ki nam jih je izročil Mojzes.«
15 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been 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.
