Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through the cities of Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to the city of Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
In šla sta skozi Amfipolj in Apolonijo, in prišla sta v Solun, kjer je bilo shajališče Judovsko.
2 Paul, as his custom was, went to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures.
In Pavel vnide po navadi k njim, in razgovarjal se je ž njimi tri sobote iz pisem,
3 He was opening the scriptures and explaining that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead. He said, “This Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Christ.”
Razkladajoč in dokazujoč, da je bilo treba, da je Kristus trpel in vstal od mrtvih, in da ta Jezus, kterega vam jaz oznanjujem, je Kristus.
4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, including a large number of devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women.
In nekteri od njih so verovali, in pridružili so se Pavlu in Silu, in od pobožnih Grkov velika množica, in imenitnih žen ne malo.
5 But the unbelieving Jews, being moved with jealousy, took certain wicked men from the marketplace, gathered a crowd together, and set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they wanted to bring Paul and Silas out to the people.
Ali trdovratni Judje so zavidali, in privzemši nekaj hudobnih móž izmed drhali, in zbravši trumo, nadražili so mesto; in obstopili so hišo Jazonovo, in iskali so ju, da bi ju izpeljali pred ljudstvo.
6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain other brothers before the officials of the city, crying, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also.
Ko ju pa niso našli, povlečejo Jazona in nektere brate pred starešine mestne, vpijoč: Ti, ki so ves svet razdražili, ti so tudi sèm prišli;
7 These men whom Jason has welcomed act against the decrees of Caesar; they say that there is another king—Jesus.”
Ktere je sprejel Jazon; in ti vsi delajo zoper cesarjeve zapovedi govoreč, da je nekdo drugi kralj, Jezus.
8 The crowd and the officials of the city were disturbed when they heard these things.
In razdražili so ljudstvo in starešine mestne, kteri so to poslušali.
9 But after the officials made Jason and the rest pay money as security, then they let them go.
In ko so bili prejeli zadostenje od Jazona in drugih, pustili so jih.
10 That night the brothers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Bratje pa naglo po noči odpravijo Pavla in Sila v Berejo; in ko tje prideta, odideta v shajališče Judovsko.
11 Now these people were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
Ti so bili pa blagosrčniji od Solunskih; ti so sprejeli besedo z vsem poželenjem, in vsak dan so preiskovali pisma, če je to tako.
12 Therefore many of them believed, including some influential Greek women and many men.
In tako jih je veliko od njih verovalo, in poštenih Grških žen in móž ne malo.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God at Berea, they went there and stirred up and troubled the crowds.
Ko so pa Judje Solunski zvedeli, da tudi v Bereji oznanjuje Pavel besedo Božjo, pridejo tudi tje, in vzdignejo ljudstvo.
14 Then immediately, the brothers sent Paul to go to the sea, but Silas and Timothy stayed there.
Ali bratje so tedaj Pavla naglo odpravili, da je šel v primorje; a Sila in Timotej sta ostala tam.
15 Those who were leading Paul took him as far as the city of Athens. As they left Paul there, they received from him instructions for Silas and Timothy to come to him as quickly as possible.
Ti pa, kteri so bili Pavla spremili, pripeljali so ga do Aten; in ko so prejeli sporočilo do Sila in Timoteja, naj bi kar najhitreje prišla k njemu, vrnili so se.
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Ko ju je pa Pavel v Atenah čakal, vname se duh njegov v njem, ko je videl, da je mesto malikovanju udano;
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and others who worshiped God, as well as in the marketplace with those who happened to be there.
In razgovarjal se je v shajališči z Judi in pobožnimi, in na trgu vsak dan s tistimi, na ktere je naletel.
18 But also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. Some said, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be one who calls people to follow strange gods,” because he was proclaiming Jesus and the resurrection.
Nekteri od Epikurejskih in Stojskih modrijanov so so pa prepirali ž njim; in eni so govorili: Kaj hoče ta kvasé povedati? a drugi: Zdi se, da je oznanjevalec tujih bogov: ker jim je Jezusa in vstajanje oznanjeval.
19 They took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know this new teaching which you were speaking?
In vzemó ga in odpeljejo na Areopag, govoreč: Moremo li zvedeti, kakošen je ta novi nauk, kterega ti oznanjuješ?
20 For you bring some strange things to our ears. Therefore, we want to know what these things mean.”
Kajti nekaj novega nam nosiš v ušesa; za to hočemo zvedeti, kaj če to biti.
21 (Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing but either telling or listening about something new.)
(Vsi Atenjani pa in tujci, kteri so prihajali, niso imeli drugega opraviti, nego kaj novega pripovedovati ali poslušati.)
22 So Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I see that you are very religious in every way.
Pavel pa, vstopivši se sredi Areopaga, reče: Možjé Atenjani! po vsem vas vidim, da ste nekako preverni.
23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found an altar with this inscription, “To an Unknown God.” What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.
Ko sem namreč prehajal in ogledoval svetišča vaša, našel sem tudi oltar, na kterem je bilo napisano: Nepoznanemu bogu. Kogar torej častite, da si ravno ga ne poznate, tega vam jaz oznanjujem.
24 The God who made the world and everything in it, since he is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples built with hands.
Bog, kteri je ustvaril svet in vse, kar je v njem, ta, ki je gospodar neba in zemlje, ne prebiva v tempeljnih, kteri so z rokami narejeni;
25 Neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives people life and breath and everything else.
In ne streže mu se s človeškimi rokami, kakor da bi česa potreboval, ko sam daje vsem življenje in dihanje in vse;
26 From one man he made every nation of people to live on the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons and the boundaries of their living areas,
In je ustvaril iz ene krví ves rod človeški, da prebiva po vsem licu zemlje, in je odločil odmenjene čase in meje njih prebivanja:
27 so that they should search for God and perhaps they may feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us.
Da bi iskali Gospoda, ne bi li ga kako otipali ali našli; da si ravno ni daleč od nobenega od nas.
28 For in him we live and move and have our being, just as one of your own poets has said, 'For we also are his offspring.'
Kajti v njem živimo in se gibljemo in smo; kakor so tudi nekteri pesnikov vaših rekli: "Kajti tudi rodú njegovega smo."
29 Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the qualities of deity are like gold, or silver, or stone—images created by the art and imagination of man.
Ker smo torej Božjega rodú, ne smemo misliti, da je božanstvo enako zlatu ali srebru ali kamenu, izrezanemu po umetnosti in izmišljenji človekovem.
30 Therefore God overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent.
Bog torej, ne gledajoč na čase nevednosti, oznanjuje sedaj vsem ljudém povsodi, naj delajo pokoro;
31 This is because he has set a day when he will judge the world in righteousness by the man he has chosen. God has given proof of this man to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
Zato, ker je postavil dan, ko bo sodil ves svet po pravici, po možu, kterega je odločil, podavši vero vsem s tem, da ga je obudil od mrtvih.
32 Now when the men of Athens heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked Paul; but others said, “We will listen to you again about this matter.”
Ko so pa slišali vstajanje mrtvih, nekteri so se posmehovati, a drugi so rekli: O tem te bomo drugoč slišali.
33 After that, Paul left them.
In tako je odšel Pavel izmed njih.
34 But certain men joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
A nekteri možjé so mu se pridružili in so verovali; med kterimi je bil Dionizij Areopagitski, in žena po imenu Damara, in drugi ž njima.
