Acts 18
1 After these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
Po teh stvareh je Pavel odšel iz Aten in prišel v Korint
2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to them,
in našel nekega Juda po imenu Ákvila, rojenega v Pontu, [ki je] s svojo ženo Prískilo nedavno prišel iz Italije; (zato ker je Klavdij vsem Judom ukazal oditi iz Rima) in prišel k njima.
3 and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
In ker je bil iste obrti, je ostal z njima in delal, kajti po njunem poklicu sta bila izdelovalca šotorov.
4 So Paul reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath. He persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
In vsak šabat je razpravljal v sinagogi in pregovarjal Jude ter Grke.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit to testify to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
In ko sta iz Makedonije prišla Sila in Timótej, je bil Pavel v duhu gnan in Judom pričeval, da Jezus je bil Kristus.
6 When the Jews opposed and insulted him, Paul shook out his garment at them and said to them, “May your blood be upon your own heads; I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
In ko so nasprotovali samim sebi in izrekali bogokletje, je otresel svoje oblačilo ter jim rekel: »Vaša kri naj bo na vaših lastnih glavah. Jaz sem čist. Odslej bom šel k poganom.«
7 Then he left from there and went to the house of Titius Justus, a man who worshiped God. His house was next to the synagogue.
In odšel je od tam ter vstopil v hišo nekega moža, po imenu Just, nekoga, ki je oboževal Boga, čigar hiša je bila tik poleg shodnice.
8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all those who lived in his house; and many of the Corinthians who heard about it believed and were baptized.
In Krisp, glavni predstojnik sinagoge, je z vso svojo hišo veroval v Gospoda in mnogi izmed Korinčanov so ob poslušanju verovali in bili so krščeni.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent.
Potem je ponoči v videnju Pavlu govoril Gospod: »Ne boj se, temveč govori in ne molči,
10 For I am with you, and no one will try to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
kajti jaz sem s teboj in nihče se ne bo spravil nadte, da te poškoduje, kajti v tem mestu imam veliko ljudi.«
11 Paul lived there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
In tam je nadaljeval leto in šest mesecev ter med njimi učil Božjo besedo.
12 But when Gallio became governor of Achaia, the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat;
In ko je bil namestnik Ahaje Galíon, so Judje proti Pavlu soglasno naredili upor in ga privedli k sodnemu stolu,
13 they said, “This man persuades people to worship God contrary to the law.”
rekoč: »Ta pregovarja ljudi, da obožujejo Boga v nasprotju s postavo.«
14 Yet when Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “You Jews, if indeed it were a matter of wrong or a crime, it would be reasonable to deal with you.
In ko je Pavel že skoraj odprl svoja usta, je Galíon rekel Judom: »Če bi bil razlog krivična zadeva ali zlobna nespodobnost, oh vi Judje, bi vas bil voljan prenašati.
15 But since these are questions about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I do not wish to be a judge of these matters.”
Toda če je to vprašanje besed in imen in vaše postave, vi glejte na to, kajti v teh zadevah ne bom sodnik.«
16 Gallio made them leave the judgment seat.
In spodil jih je od sodnega stola.
17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio did not care what they did.
Tedaj so vsi Grki prijeli Sosténa, glavnega predstojnika sinagoge in ga pretepli pred sodnim stolom. Galíon pa se ni zmenil za nobeno od teh stvari.
18 Paul, after staying there for many more days, left the brothers and sailed for Syria with Priscilla and Aquila. Before he left the seaport, Cenchrea, he had his hair cut off because of a vow he had taken.
In Pavel je po tem ostal tam še dolgo časa in se nató poslovil od bratov ter od tam odjadral v Sirijo in z njim Prískila in Ákvila, ko je v Kenhrejah ostrigel svojo glavo, kajti imel je zaobljubo.
19 When they came to Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
In prišel je v Efez ter ju pustil tam, toda on sam je vstopil v sinagogo in razpravljal z Judi.
20 When they asked Paul to stay a longer time, he declined.
Ko so ga prosili, da ostane z njimi dlje časa, ni privolil,
21 But taking his leave of them, he said, “I will return again to you if it is God's will.” He then set sail from Ephesus.
temveč se je poslovil, rekoč: »Vsekakor moram ta praznik, ki prihaja, praznovati v Jeruzalemu. Toda ponovno se bom vrnil k vam, če Bog hoče.« In odjadral je iz Efeza.
22 When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the Jerusalem church and then went down to Antioch.
In ko je pristal v Cezareji in šel gor ter pozdravil cerkev, je odšel dol v Antiohijo.
23 After having spent some time there, Paul departed and went through the regions of Galatia and Phrygia and strengthened all the disciples.
In potem, ko je tam preživel nekaj časa, je odšel in se po vrsti odpravil preko vse dežele Galačanov in Frigije ter krepil vse učence.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, came to Ephesus. He was eloquent in speech and mighty in the scriptures.
In v Efez je prišel nek Jud, po imenu Apolo, rojen v Aleksandriji, zgovoren človek in mogočen v pismih.
25 Apollos had been instructed in the teachings of the Lord. Being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, but he knew only the baptism of John.
Ta človek je bil poučen o Gospodovi poti. Ker pa je bil v duhu goreč, je govoril in marljivo učil stvari o Gospodu, poznavajoč samo Janezov krst.
26 Apollos began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
In v sinagogi je začel pogumno govoriti. Ko sta ga Prískila in Ákvila slišala, sta ga vzela k sebi in mu podrobneje pojasnila Božjo pot.
27 When he desired to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples in Achaia to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who believed by grace.
In ko je bil pripravljen, da odide v Ahajo, so bratje pisali in spodbudili učence, da ga sprejmejo. Ko je prišel, je mnogo pomagal tem, ki so po milosti verovali,
28 Apollos powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, showing by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
kajti mogočno je prepričeval Jude in to javno in s pismi dokazoval, da je Jezus bil Kristus.
