Acts 28
1 After we [(exc)] had arrived safely [on the shore], we learned that it was an island called Malta.
In ko so bili rešeni, so potem izvedeli, da se otok imenuje Malta.
2 The people who lived there received us kindly. They lit a fire and invited us to come and warm ourselves, because it was raining and it was cold.
In barbarsko ljudstvo nam je pokazalo ne malo prijaznosti, kajti prižgali so ogenj in nas zaradi navzočega dežja in zaradi mraza, vse sprejeli.
3 Paul gathered some sticks and put them on the fire. But [among those sticks was] a snake that had come out [from the fire to escape] from the heat, and it fastened itself on Paul’s hand.
In ko je Pavel nabral sveženj vej in jih položil na ogenj, je zaradi vročine ven prišel gad in se oprijel njegove roke.
4 [The islanders knew that the snake was poisonous, so] when they saw it hanging from Paul’s hand, they said to each other, “Probably this man has murdered someone. Although he has escaped from being drowned, [the god] ([who] pays [people back/who punishes people]) for their [MTY] sins will cause him to die.”
In ko so barbari videli strupeno žival viseti na njegovi roki, so med seboj govorili: »Brez dvoma je ta človek morilec, čeprav je ušel morju, ki mu maščevanje vendar ne pusti živeti.«
5 But Paul simply shook the snake off into the fire, and nothing happened to him.
On pa je žival otresel v ogenj in ni čutil nobene škode.
6 The people were expecting that Paul’s body would soon swell up or that he would suddenly fall down and die. But after they had waited a long time, they saw [that the snake] had not harmed him [at all]. So then the people changed their minds and said [to one another], “This man is not a murderer! Probably he is a god!”
Vendar so gledali, ko naj bi imel oteklino ali nenadoma padel mrtev. Toda potem, ko so dolgo časa gledali in so videli, da se mu ni zgodilo nič hudega, so spremenili svoja mišljenja in rekli, da je bil bog.
7 Near where the people had made the fire, there were some fields that belonged to a man whose name was Publius. He was the chief official on the island. He invited us to [come and stay in] his home. He took care of us for three days.
V istih četrtih so bile posesti vodilnega moža otoka, katerega ime je bilo Publij, ki nas je sprejel in nas tri dni prijazno prenočeval.
8 [At that time] Publius’ father had a fever and dysentery, and he was lying [in bed]. So Paul visited him and prayed [for him. Then] Paul placed his hands on him and healed him.
Pripetilo pa se je, da je Publijev oče ležal bolan zaradi vročice in zaradi krvave griže; h kateremu je vstopil Pavel in molil ter položil svoji roki nanj in ga ozdravil.
9 After Paul had done that, the other people on the island who were sick came [to him] and [he] healed them, too.
Torej ko se je to zgodilo, so prišli tudi drugi, ki so na otoku imeli bolezni in so bili ozdravljeni,
10 They brought us gifts and [showed in other ways that] they greatly respected us. When we were [ready] to leave [three months later], they brought us food and other things that we would need [for the trip].
ki so nas prav tako počastili z mnogimi častmi. In ko smo odšli, so nas obložili s takšnimi stvarmi, kot je bilo potrebno.
11 After [we had stayed there] three months, we [got on] a ship [that was going to Italy and] sailed away. The ship had been in [a harbor on] the island during the months when there are many storms. It had come from Alexandria [city]. On the front of the ship there were carved images of the twin gods [whose names were Castor and Pollux].
In po treh mesecih smo se vkrcali na ladjo iz Aleksandrije, ki je prezimila na otoku, katere znamenje sta bila Kastor in Poluks.
12 We [sailed from the island and] arrived at Syracuse [city on Sicily island] and stayed there three days.
In ko smo se izkrcali v Sirakuzi, smo se tam mudili tri dni.
13 Then we traveled on by ship and arrived at Rhegium [port in Italy]. The next day, the wind was blowing from behind us, [so we sailed along fast]. The day after that, we reached Puteoli [town, where we left the ship].
In od tam smo šli po ovinkih ter prišli v Région. In po enem dnevu je zapihal južni veter in naslednji dan smo prišli v Putéole,
14 In Puteoli we met some believers who invited us to stay with them for a week. [After visiting them], we [left there and started to travel by land] to Rome.
kjer smo našli brate in želeli so, da ostanemo z njimi sedem dni; in tako smo odšli proti Rimu.
15 [A group of] believers [who lived in Rome] had heard that we [(exc) were coming]. So they came out [from Rome] to meet us. [Some of] them met us at [the town called] ‘The Market on Appian [Road’, ] and others met us at [the town called] ‘The Three Inns’. When Paul saw those believers, he thanked God and was encouraged.
In ko so bratje slišali o nas, so prišli od tam, da nas srečajo, prav do Apijevega trga in Treh Tavern. Ko jih je Pavel zagledal, se je zahvalil Bogu in se opogumil.
16 After we [(exc)] arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted {[a Roman official who was responsible for guarding Paul] permitted Paul} to live [in a house] by himself. But [there was always] a soldier there to guard him.
In ko smo prišli v Rim, je stotnik jetnike izročil poveljniku straže, toda Pavlu je bilo dovoljeno, da prebiva sam zase z vojakom, ki ga je varoval.
17 After [Paul had been there] three days, he sent a message to the Jewish leaders [to come and talk with him. So] they came, and Paul said to them, “My fellow Jews, although I have not opposed our people nor spoken against the customs of our ancestors, [our leaders] in Jerusalem [seized] [MTY] [me. But before they could kill me, a Roman commander rescued me and later sent me] to Caesarea for Roman [authorities/officials to put me on trial].
In pripetilo se je, da je po treh dneh Pavel sklical skupaj judovske voditelje in ko so prišli skupaj, jim je rekel: »Možje in bratje, čeprav nisem ničesar zagrešil proti ljudem ali običajem naših očetov, sem bil vendarle jetnik, iz Jeruzalema izročen v roke Rimljanom.
18 The Roman authorities/officials questioned me and wanted to release me, because I had not done any [bad] thing for which I should be executed {they should kill me}.
Ki so me po zaslišanju hoteli izpustiti, ker na meni ni bilo razloga za smrt.
19 But when the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there opposed [what the Roman authorities wanted to do], I had to formally request that the Emperor [judge me here in Rome]. But my reason for doing that was not that I wanted to accuse our leaders about anything.
Toda ko so Judje temu ugovarjali, sem se bil primoran sklicevati na cesarja, ne da bi moral obtoževati svoj narod.
20 So I have requested you [to come] here so that I can tell you why I am a prisoner. It is because I believe in [MTY] our Messiah, the one [God long ago promised to send] to us [(inc)] Jews.”
Zaradi tega razloga sem vas torej dal poklicati, da vas vidim in spregovorim z vami, zato ker sem s to verigo zvezan zaradi Izraelovega upanja.«
21 Then [the Jewish leaders] said, “We [(exc)] have not received any letters from [our fellow Jews] in Judea about you. Also, none of our fellow Jews who have arrived [here from Judea] has said anything bad about you.
In rekli so mu: »Glede tebe nismo prejeli niti pisem iz Judeje niti nobeden izmed bratov, ki je prišel, [te] ni naznanil ali škodljivo govoril o tebi.
22 But we [(exc)] want to hear what you [(sg)] think about this [Christian] sect/group, because we know that in many places [HYP] bad things are being said {people are saying bad things} about it.”
Toda od tebe želimo slišati, kaj misliš; kajti glede te ločine vemo, da ji povsod ugovarjajo.«
23 So they [talked with Paul and decided that they would come back on another day to hear him. When that day arrived], those Jews came back to the place where Paul was staying, and they brought more Jews with them. Paul talked to them from morning until evening. He talked to them about how God wants to rule [people’s lives] [MET]. He tried to convince them that Jesus [is the Messiah] by reminding them what Moses and the other prophets had written [MTY].
In ko so mu določili dan, so mnogi prišli k njemu v njegovo stanovanje; katerim je od jutra do večera pojasnjeval in dokazoval Božje kraljestvo, jih prepričeval glede Jezusa, tako iz Mojzesove postave kakor iz prerokov.
24 Some of those Jews believed that what was said [by Paul] {what [Paul] said} about Jesus [was true], but others did not believe [that it was true].
In nekateri so verjeli besedam, ki so bile govorjene, nekateri pa niso verjeli.
25 So they began to argue with one another. [Paul realized that some of them did not want to listen to him, so] when they were about to leave, he said, “The Holy Spirit said something to your/our(incl) ancestors. He spoke these words to Isaiah the prophet, [and what he said is also true about you]:
In ko se med seboj niso strinjali, so odšli, po tem, ko je Pavel spregovoril eno besedo: »Dobro je Sveti Duh govoril našim očetom po preroku Izaiju,
26 Go to your fellow Israelites and tell them, ‘You repeatedly listen [to the message of God], but you never understand [what God is saying]. You repeatedly look at and see [the things that God is doing], but you never understand [what they mean].
rekoč: ›Pojdi k tem ljudem in reci: ›S poslušanjem boste slišali, pa ne boste razumeli; in z gledanjem boste videli, pa ne zaznali;
27 God also said to the prophet, These people do not understand, because they have become stubborn. They have ears, but they do not understand what they hear, and they have closed their eyes [because they do not want to see]. If they wanted to obey what I say to them, they might understand what they see [me doing] and what they hear [me saying]. Then they might turn from their sinful behavior and I would save them.’
kajti srce teh ljudi je otopelo in njihova ušesa so naglušna in svoje oči so zaprli, da ne bi videli s svojimi očmi in [da ne bi] slišali s svojimi ušesi in [da ne bi] razumeli s svojim srcem in [da ne bi] bili spreobrnjeni in [bi] jih jaz ozdravil.‹‹
28 [That is what God said to the prophet Isaiah about our ancestors. But you Jews today do not want to believe God’s message]. Therefore, I am telling you that [God] has sent to the non-Jews this message about how he saves people, and they will listen [and accept it]!”
Bodi vam torej znano, da je Božja rešitev duš poslana k poganom in da jo bodo poslušali.«
In ko je rekel te besede, so Judje odšli in med seboj imeli veliko razpravljanja.
30 For two whole years Paul stayed [there] in a house that he rented. Many people came to see him, and he received them all gladly [and talked with them].
In Pavel je celi dve leti prebival v lastni najeti hiši in sprejemal vse, ki so prihajali k njemu
31 He preached [and taught people] about how God could rule [their lives] [MET] and taught them about the Lord Jesus Christ. He did that without being afraid, and no one tried to stop him.
ter z vso samozavestjo oznanjal Božje kraljestvo in učil te stvari, ki se tičejo Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in noben človek mu ni branil.
