Acts 23

1 Having looked intently then Paul at the Council he said; Men brothers, I myself in all conscience good have lived as a citizen to God unto this day.

In ko je Pavel iskreno gledal véliki zbor, je rekel: »Možje in bratje, do danes sem živel po vsej dobri vesti pred Bogom.«

2 Then the high priest Ananias commanded to those standing by him to strike of him the mouth.

Véliki duhovnik Hananija pa je ukazal tem, ki so stali poleg, da ga udarijo po ustih.

3 Then Paul to him said; To strike you is about God, wall whitewashed! And you yourself do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating law you command me to be struck?

Potem mu je Pavel rekel: »Bog bo udaril tebe, ti pobeljeni zid, kajti sediš, da mi sodiš po postavi, velevaš pa, da sem udarjen v nasprotju s postavo?«

4 Those who now standing by said; The high priest of God do you insult?

In ti, ki so stali poleg, so rekli: »Ti zasramuješ Božjega vélikega duhovnika?«

5 Was saying then Paul; Not I had known, brothers, that he is high priest; it has been written for (that *no*) [The] ruler of the people of you not you will speak evil [of].’

Potem je Pavel rekel: »Nisem vedel, bratje, da je véliki duhovnik, kajti pisano je: ›O vladarju svojih ljudi ne boš govoril hudobno.‹«

6 Having known then Paul that the one part consists of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees (he was crying out *N(k)O*) in the Council; Men brothers, I myself a Pharisee am, [the] son (of Pharisees; *N(K)O*) concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged.

Toda ko je Pavel zaznal, da jih je bilo v vélikem zboru en del saducejev, drugi pa farizeji, je v zboru vzkliknil: »Možje in bratje, jaz sem farizej, sin farizeja; zaradi upanja in vstajenja mrtvih sem poklican na zaslišanje.«

7 This then of him (saying *N(k)(o)*) arose a dissension between the Pharisees and (of the *k*) Sadducees, and was divided the crowd.

In ko je tako rekel, je med farizeji in saduceji nastalo nesoglasje, in množica je bila razdeljena.

8 Sadducees indeed for say not there to be resurrection (neither [to be] *N(k)O*) angel nor [to be] spirit; Pharisees however confess both.

Kajti saduceji pravijo, da ni vstajenja niti angela niti duha, toda farizeji oboje priznavajo.

9 Arose then a clamor great; and having risen up (some *NO*) (of the scribes *N(k)O*) of the party of the Pharisees they were contending saying; No [thing] evil we find in man this; What if now a spirit has spoken to him or an angel (Surely we shall be fighting God? *K*)

In nastalo je veliko vpitje. In pisarji, ki so bili iz farizejskega dela, so vstali ter se prepirali, rekoč: »Na tem človeku ne najdemo nobenega zla, temveč če mu je govoril duh ali angel, se ne bojujmo proti Bogu.«

10 great then (is becoming *N(k)O*) dissension, (having feared *N(k)O*) the commander lest may be torn to pieces Paul by them he commanded the troop (having gone down *NK(o)*) (and *k*) to take by force him from midst of them, to bring [him] then into the barracks.

In ko je nastalo veliko nesoglasje, je vrhovni poveljnik, ker se je bal, da ne bi Pavla raztrgali na koščke, ukazal vojakom, da gredo dol in ga na silo vzamejo izmed njih ter ga privedejo v grad.

11 But on the following night having stood by him the Lord said; Take courage (Paul; *k*) as for you have fully testified about Me at Jerusalem, thus you it behooves also in Rome to testify.

In naslednjo noč je poleg njega stal Gospod ter rekel: »Bodi dobre volje, Pavel, kajti kakor si pričeval o meni v Jeruzalemu, tako moraš pričevati tudi v Rimu.«

12 When it was becoming then day having made a conspiracy (the Jews *N(k)O*) put under an oath themselves declaring neither to eat nor to drink until that they may kill Paul.

In ko je bil dan, so se nekateri izmed Judov zbrali skupaj ter se pod prekletstvom zavezali, rekoč, da ne bodo niti jedli niti pili, dokler Pavla ne ubijejo.

13 There were now more than forty this plot (having made; *N(k)O*)

In bilo jih je več kot štirideset, ki so sklenili to zaroto.

14 who having come to the chief priests and to the elders said; With an oath we have bound ourselves nothing to eat until that we may kill Paul.

In prišli so k visokim duhovnikom in starešinam ter rekli: »Mi smo se pod velikim prekletstvom zavezali, da ne bomo ničesar jedli, dokler Pavla ne umorimo.«

15 Now therefore you yourselves do make a report to the commander along with the Council, so that (tomorrow *K*) he may bring down him (to *N(k)O*) you as being about to examine more earnestly the [things] about him; we ourselves then before drawing near of him ready we are to execute him.

Zdaj torej z vélikim zborom naznanite vrhovnemu poveljniku, da ga naslednji dan privede dol k vam, kot da glede njega zahtevate nekaj bolj podrobnega, mi pa smo pripravljeni, da ga ubijemo, preden pride blizu.

16 Having heard however the son of the sister of Paul (of the ambush, *N(k)O*) having come near and having entered into the barracks he reported [it] to Paul.

In ko je sin Pavlove sestre slišal o njihovem prežanju, je odšel in vstopil v grad ter povedal Pavlu.

17 Having called to [him] then Paul one of the centurions he was saying; young man this (do take *NK(o)*) to the commander; he has for to report something to him.

Potem je Pavel k sebi poklical enega izmed stotnikov in rekel: »Spremite tega mladeniča k vrhovnemu poveljniku, kajti povedati mu ima neko stvar.«

18 The [one] indeed therefore having taken him he brought [him] to the commander and he says; The prisoner Paul having called to me he asked [me] this (young man *N(k)O*) to lead to you having something to say to you.

Tedaj ga je ta vzel in ga spremil k vrhovnemu poveljniku in rekel: »Jetnik Pavel me je poklical k sebi in me prosil, da tega mladeniča spremim k tebi, ki ti ima nekaj povedati.«

19 Having taken hold then of the hand of him the commander and having withdrawn in private he was inquiring: What is it that you have to report to me?

Potem ga je vrhovni poveljnik prijel za roko in odšel z njim stran na samo ter ga vprašal: »Kaj je to, kar mi imaš povedati?«

20 He said then that The Jews have agreed to ask you that tomorrow Paul you may bring down into the Council as (it being about *N(K)(O)*) something more earnestly to inquire about him.

In rekel je: »Judje so se strinjali, da od tebe zahtevajo, da jim naslednji dan privedeš Pavla dol v véliki zbor, kakor da bodo od njega zahtevali nekaj bolj podrobnega.

21 You yourself therefore not may be persuaded by them, Lie in wait indeed for him of them men more than forty, who was put under an oath themselves neither to eat nor to drink until that they may execute him and now they are ready awaiting the from you promise.

Ampak ne ukloni se jim, kajti nanj preži izmed njih več kot štirideset mož, ki so se s prisego zavezali, da ne bodo niti jedli niti pili, dokler ga ne ubijejo. In sedaj so pripravljeni, ker od tebe pričakujejo obljubo.«

22 Indeed therefore [the] commander dismissed the (young man *N(k)O*) having instructed [him] No one to tell that these things you reported to me.

Tako je potem vrhovni poveljnik pustil mladeniču oditi in mu naročil: » Glej, da nobenemu človeku ne poveš, da si mi razodel te besede.«

23 And having called to [him] two certain of the centurions he said; do prepare soldiers two hundred so that they may go as far as Caesarea and horsemen seventy and spearmen two hundred for [the] third hour of the night,

In k sebi je poklical dva stotnika, rekoč: »Pripravita dvesto vojakov in sedemdeset konjenikov in dvesto suličarjev, da gredo ob tretji nočni uri v Cezarejo,

24 Mounts then providing so that having set upon [them] Paul they may bring [him] safely to Felix the governor;

in priskrbite jim živali, da bodo lahko Pavla posadili nanje in ga varno privedite k voditelju Feliksu.«

25 having written a letter (having *N(k)O*) form this:

In napisal je pismo na ta način:

26 Claudius Lysias To the most excellent governor Felix Greeting.

›Klavdij Lizija pošilja pozdrav nadvse odličnemu voditelju Feliksu.

27 man this having been seized by the Jews and being about to be executed by them, having come up with the troop I rescued (him *k*) having learned that a Roman he is;

Tega moža so Judje prijeli in bi ga bili ubili. Potem sem prišel z vojsko in ko sem izvedel, da je bil Rimljan, sem ga rešil.

28 Resolving (then to know *N(k)O*) the charge on account of which they were accusing him I brought down (him *k*) to the council of them;

In ko sem hotel izvedel razlog, zakaj so ga obtožili, sem ga privedel v njihov véliki zbor.

29 whom I found being accused concerning questions of the law of them, not however [of anything] worthy of death or of chains having accusation.

O njem sem zaznal, da je obtožen vprašanj iz svoje postave, toda k njegovi obtožbi ni položenega ničesar vrednega smrti ali ujetništva.

30 When was being disclosed then to me a plot that against the man (to be about to *k*) going to happen (by the Jews *K*) (at once *NK(O)*) I sent [him] to you having instructed also to the accusers to speak the [things] against him before you. (Farewell! *KO*)

In ko mi je bilo povedano, kako Judje prežijo na tega človeka, sem ga nemudoma poslal k tebi in tudi njegovim tožnikom sem dal zapoved, da pred teboj povedo, kar so imeli zoper njega. Zbogom.‹

31 Indeed therefore [the] soldiers according to that ordered them having taken Paul brought [him] through (*k*) night to Antipatris.

Potem so vojaki, kakor jim je bilo ukazano, vzeli Pavla in ga ponoči privedli do Antipatríde.

32 On the now next day having allowed the horsemen (to go *N(k)O*) with him they returned to the barracks;

Naslednji dan so konjenike pustili, da gredo z njim in se vrnili h gradu.

33 who having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor presented also Paul to him.

Ki so, ko so prišli v Cezarejo in poslanico izročili voditelju, predenj izročili tudi Pavla.

34 Having read [it] then (governor *k*) and having asked from what province he is and having learned that from Cilicia [he is],

In ko je voditelj pismo prebral, je vprašal, iz katere province je. In ko je razumel, da je bil iz Kilikije,

35 I will hear fully you, he was saying, when also the accusers of you may have arrived. (having commanded *N(k)O*) (then *k*) in the Praetorium of Herod to be guarded him.

je rekel: »Poslušal te bom, ko pridejo tudi tvoji tožniki.« In ukazal ga je zadržati v Herodovi sodni dvorani.
