Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, "You may speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
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, that I am to make my defense before you this day concerning all the things that I am accused by the Jews,
Srečnega se štejem, kralj Agripa, da se imam danes pred teboj zagovarjati za vse, česar me Judje dolžé:
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among Jews. Therefore I beg you 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 "Indeed, all Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;
Življenje torej moje od mladosti, kakošno je bilo od začetka med narodom mojim v Jeruzalemu, vedó vsi Judje,
5 having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest 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 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
In sedaj stojim pred sodbo za voljo upanja obljube, ktero je obljubil Bog očetom našim;
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O King.
Ktero dvanajsteri rodovi naši, služeč Bogu noč in dan, upajo doseči. Za voljo tega upanja sem, kralj Agripa! tožen od Judov.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you, if God does raise the dead?
Kaj? Neverjetno vam se zdí, da Bog mrtve obuja?
9 "In fact, I thought to myself that I ought to do many things against the name of Jesus the Nazorean.
Tudi jaz sem sicer menil, da moram zoper ime Jezusa Nazarečana veliko nasprotnega storiti;
10 This I also did in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote 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 Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign 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 traveled to Damascus with the 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 noon, O King, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled 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 When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'
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 "I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' "He said, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Jaz sem pa rekel: Kdo si, Gospod? On pa reče: Jaz sem Jezus, kterega ti preganjaš.
16 But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen me, and of the things which I will reveal to you;
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 you from the people, and from the non-Jewish people, to whom I send you,
In otél te bom od ljudstva in poganov, med ktere te sedaj pošiljam,
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith 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 "Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Za to, kralj Agripa! nisem bil nepokoren nebeškej prikazni,
20 but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the non-Jews, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of 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 this reason Jews seized me when I was in the temple, and tried to kill me.
Za tega voljo so me Judje v tempeljnu zgrabili in izkusili z rokami umoriti.
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said would happen,
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 how the Christ would suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to non-Jewish people."
Da bo Kristus trpel, in da bo, prvi iz vstajanja mrtvih, luč oznanjeval narodu in poganom.
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are crazy. Your great learning is driving you insane."
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 crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
On pa reče: Ne mešam se, vrli Fest, nego besede resnice in razumnosti govorim.
26 For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been 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, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe."
Veruješ, kralj Agripa, prerokom? Vém, da veruješ.
28 Agrippa said to Paul, "With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?"
Agripa pa Pavlu reče: Malo, pa me boš pregovoril, da Kristjan postanem.
29 Paul said, "I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for 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 The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
In ko je to izgovoril, vstane kralj in poglavar, in Bernika, in kteri so ž njimi sedeli;
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke one to another, saying, "This man does 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 Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."
Agripa pa Festu reče: Izpustil bi se lahko ta človek, da se ni sklical na cesarja.
