Acts 17
1 And, travelling through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews;
Torej ko sta šla skozi Amfípolo in Apolonijo sta prišla do Tesaloníke, kjer je bila judovska sinagoga.
2 and, according to Paul’s custom, he went in unto them, and, for three sabbaths, reasoned with them from the Scriptures, —
In kakor je bila njegova navada, je Pavel vstopil k njim in tri šabatne dneve z njimi razpravljal iz pisem,
3 opening up, and setting forth, that it was needful for, the Christ, to suffer, and to arise from among the dead; and [saying], This, is the Christ, —Jesus, whom, I, am declaring unto you.
razkrival in trdil, da je Kristus brezpogojno moral trpeti in ponovno vstati od mrtvih in da je ta Jezus, ki vam ga oznanjam, Kristus.
4 And, some from among them, were persuaded, and cast in their lot with Paul and Silas; also, of the devout Greeks, a great throng, and, of the chief women, not a few.
In nekateri izmed njih so verovali in se družili s Pavlom in Silom, in velika množica izmed predanih Grkov ter ne malo izmed vodilnih žensk.
5 But the Jews, being, jealous, and taking unto themselves certain wicked men, of the rabble, and making a riot, were setting the city in an uproar; and, besieging the house of Jason, were seeking to lead them forth unto the populace, —
Toda Judje, ki niso verovali, so prevzeti z zavistjo, vzeli k sebi neke ničvredne pajdaše iz prostaške sorte in zbrali skupino in po vsem mestu zanetili vstajo ter napadli Jazonovo hišo in si prizadevali, da ju privedejo k ljudstvu [dežele].
6 and, not finding them, they began dragging Jason and certain brethren unto the city-rulers, shouting—They who have thrown the inhabited earth into confusion, the same, hither also, are come, —
Ko pa ju niso našli, so Jazona in neke brate odvlekli k vladarjem mesta ter kričali: »Tile, ki so obrnili svet na glavo, so prišli tudi sèm,
7 unto whom Jason hath given welcome; and, these all, contrary to the decrees of Caesar, are acting, —saying that there is another king, Jesus.
ki jih je sprejel Jazon, in vsi ti delajo nasprotno cesarjevim odlokom, rekoč, da obstaja drug kralj, nek Jezus.«
8 And they troubled the multitude and the city-rulers, when they heard these things;
In vznemirili so množico in mestne vladarje, ko so slišali te stvari.
9 and, taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
In ko so od Jazona in od drugih prejeli varščino, so jih izpustili.
10 But, the brethren, straightway, during the night, sent away both Paul and Silas unto Beroea, who, indeed, arriving, unto the synagogue of the Jews, went off;
In bratje so Pavla ter Sila takoj ponoči odposlali v Berójo. Ko sta prispela tja, sta odšla v judovsko sinagogo.
11 and, these, were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they welcomed the word with all readiness of mind, daily, searching the Scriptures, —whether these things could be so.
Ti so bili plemenitejši, kakor tisti v Tesaloníki, ker so z vso prisebnostjo sprejeli besedo in dnevno preiskovali pisma, če so bile te stvari take.
12 Many, therefore, from among them, believed, and, of the Grecian women of the higher class, and of men, not a few.
Zato so mnogi izmed njih verovali, tudi častitljive ženske, ki so bile Grkinje in izmed mož ne malo.
13 But, when the Jews from Thessalonica came to know that, in Beroea also, had the word of God been declared by Paul, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitudes.
Toda ko so Judje iz Tesaloníke spoznali, da je Pavel Božjo besedo oznanjal v Beróji, so prišli tudi tja in razvneli množico.
14 Howbeit, then, immediately, the brethren sent away, Paul, to be journeying as far as unto the sea; and both Silas and Timothy stayed behind, there.
In potem so bratje Pavla takoj odposlali, da gre, kot bi bilo k morju, toda Sila in Timótej sta še vedno ostala tam.
15 But, they who were conducting Paul, brought him as far as Athens, and, receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy, that with, all possible speed, they would come unto him, they departed.
In ti, ki so spremljali Pavla, so ga privedli v Atene in ko so prejeli zapoved za Sila in Timóteja, naj z vso naglico prideta k njemu, so odšli.
16 But, while, in Athens, Paul was expecting them, his spirit within him was being urged on, seeing how the city was given to idols.
Torej medtem ko je Pavel v Atenah čakal nanju, je bil njegov duh v njem razvnet, ko je videl mesto v celoti predano malikovanju.
17 So then, he began reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them who worshipped; and, in the market-place, every day, with them who happened to be at hand.
Zato se je v sinagogi prerekal z Judi in s predanimi osebami in vsakodnevno na trgu s temi, ki so se srečevali z njim.
18 But, certain both of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were encountering him; and some were saying—What might this picker-up-of-scraps wish to be saying? And, others—Of foreign demons, he seemeth to be a declarer: because, of Jesus and the Resurrection, he was announcing the joyful tidings.
Potem so mu ugovarjali neki filozofi izmed epikurejcev in izmed stoikov. In nekateri so rekli: »Kaj hoče povedati ta blebetavec?« Drugi nekako: »Zdi se, da je oznanjevalec tujih bogov, « ker jim je oznanjal Jezusa in vstajenje.
19 And so, laying hold of him, they brought him up, to the Hill of Mars, saying—Can we get to know what this new teaching is, which, by thee, is being spoken.
In prijeli so ga ter ga privedli na Areopag, rekoč: »Ali lahko izvemo, kakšen je ta novi nauk, o katerem govoriš?«
20 For, certain foreign things, art thou bringing into our hearing: We are minded to get to know, therefore, what these things please to be!
Kajti v naša ušesa prinašaš nekatere čudne besede. Hočemo torej izvedeti, kaj te stvari pomenijo.
21 Now, all Athenians and the sojourning foreigners, unto nothing else, were devoting their leisure, than to be telling or hearing, something newer.
(Kajti vsi Atenci in tujci, ki so bili tam, svojega časa niso porabljali za nič drugega, razen da so ali govorili ali poslušali kako novo stvar.)
22 And Paul taking his stand in the midst of the Hill of Mars, said—Ye men of Athens! In every way, how unusually reverent of the demons ye are, I perceive.
Tedaj je Pavel na sredi Marsovega hriba vstal in rekel: » Vi atenski možje, zaznavam, da ste v vseh stvareh preveč vraževerni.
23 For, passing through, and carefully observing your objects of devotion, I found an altar also, in which was inscribed—Unto an Unknown God. What, therefore, not knowing, ye reverence, the same, do, I, declare unto you.
Kajti ko sem šel mimo in gledal vaše predmete čaščenja, sem našel oltar s tem napisom: NEPOZNANEMU BOGU. Katerega torej vi nevedno obožujete, tega vam jaz razglašam.
24 The God that made the world and all things that are therein, the same, being, Lord, of heaven and earth, not in hand-made shrines, doth dwell,
Bog, ki je naredil svet in vse stvari na njem, glede na to, da je on Gospodar neba in zemlje, ne prebiva v templjih, narejenimi z rokami,
25 nor, by human hands, is waited upon, as though in want of anything, himself, giving unto all life and breath and all things;
tudi ni oboževan s človeškimi rokami, kakor da karkoli potrebuje, glede na to, da vsem daje življenje in dihanje in vse stvari
26 he made also, of one, every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, —marking out fitting opportunities, and the bounds of their dwelling place,
in je iz ene krvi naredil vse narode ljudi, da prebivajo na vsem obličju zemlje in je vnaprej določil določene čase in meje njihovega prebivanja,
27 that they might be seeking God—if, after all, indeed, they might feel after him and find him, —although, in truth, he is already not far from any one of us.
da bi iskali Gospoda, če bi ga morda dotipali in ga našli, čeprav ni daleč od vsakega izmed nas.
28 For, in him, we live and move and are: as, even some of your own poets, have said—For, his offspring also, we are.
Kajti v njem živimo in se gibljemo in obstajamo, kakor so rekli celó nekateri izmed vaših lastnih pesnikov: ›Kajti tudi mi smo njegovo potomstvo.‹
29 Being, then, offspring, of God, we ought not to be supposing that, unto gold or silver or stone, graven by art and device of man, the Divine, is like.
Kot smo torej zagotovo potomstvo Boga, ne bi smeli misliti, da je Božanstvo podobno zlatu ali srebru ali kamnu, vrezanemu od umetnika in [s] človeško pripravo.
30 The times of ignorance, therefore, overlooking, God, as things now are, is charging all men everywhere to repent,
In nad časi te nevednosti je Bog zamižal, toda sedaj povsod vsem ljudem zapoveduje, da se pokesajo,
31 inasmuch as he hath appointed a day, in which he is about to be judging the habitable earth in righteousness, by a man whom he hath pointed out, —offering faith unto all, by raising him from among the dead?
kajti določil je dan, na katerega bo sodil svet v pravičnosti, po tem možu, ki ga je določil. O tem je dal zagotovilo vsem ljudem, ker ga je obudil od mrtvih.«
32 Now, when they heard of raising the dead, some, indeed, began to mock, while, others, said—We will hear thee, concerning this, even again.
Ko pa so slišali o vstajenju mrtvih, so se nekateri posmehovali, drugi pa so rekli: »Oh tej zadevi te bomo ponovno poslušali.«
33 Thus, Paul, came forth out of their midst.
Tako je Pavel odšel izmed njih.
34 But, certain persons, joining themselves unto him, believed; among whom were even Dionysius the Mars-hill judge, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.
Vendar so se mu določeni možje trdno pridružili in verovali, med katerimi je bil Dionizij Areopagít in ženska, po imenu Dámaris in drugi z njima.
