Acts 21
1 When, at last, we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran in a straight course to Cos; the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
In pripetilo se je, da potem, ko smo odšli od njih in odrinili, smo z ravno smerjo prispeli na Kos in naslednji dan na Rodos in od tam v Pátaro,
2 Finding a ship bound for Phoenicia, we went on board and put to sea.
in ko smo našli ladjo, ki je jadrala preko do Fenikije, smo se vkrcali in odpotovali.
3 After sighting Cyprus and leaving that island on our left, we continued our voyage to Syria and put in at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
Torej ko smo odkrili Ciper, smo ga pustili na levi roki in odjadrali v Sirijo ter pristali v Tiru, kajti tam je ladja iztovorila svoj tovor.
4 Having searched for the disciples and found them, we stayed at Tyre for seven days; and, taught by the Spirit, they repeatedly urged Paul not to proceed to Jerusalem.
In ko smo našli učence, smo tam ostali sedem dni. Ti so Pavlu po Duhu povedali, da naj ne bi šel gor v Jeruzalem.
5 When, however, our time was up, we left and went on our way, all the disciples and their wives and children coming to see us off. Then, after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
In ko smo te dneve dovršili, smo se odpravili in odšli [po] naši poti. In na našo pot so nas vsi pospremili z ženami in otroki, dokler nismo bili izven mesta, in pokleknili smo na obali ter molili.
6 we took leave of one another; and we went on board, while they returned home.
In ko smo se poslovili drug od drugega, smo se odpeljali z ladjo, oni pa so se ponovno vrnili domov.
7 As for us, our voyage was over when having sailed from Tyre we reached Ptolemais. here we inquired after the welfare of the brethren, and remained a day with them.
In ko smo dokončali naše potovanje iz Tira, smo prišli v Ptolemáido in pozdravili brate in en dan ostali z njimi.
8 On the morrow we left Ptolemais and went on to Caesarea, where we came to the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
In naslednji dan smo mi, ki smo bili iz Pavlove skupine, odšli ter prišli v Cezarejo in vstopili v hišo evangelista Filipa, ki je bil eden izmed sedmih; in ostali z njim.
9 Now Philip had four unmarried daughters who were prophetesses;
In isti mož je imel štiri hčere, device, ki so prerokovale.
10 and during our somewhat lengthy stay a Prophet of the name of Agabus came down from Judaea.
In ko smo se tam mudili mnogo dni, je prišel dol iz Judeje nek prerok, po imenu Agab.
11 When he arrived he took Paul's loincloth, and bound his own feet and arms with it, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the owner of this loincloth, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'"
In ko je prišel k nam, je vzel Pavlov pas ter si zvezal svoje lastne roke in stopala ter rekel: »Tako govori Sveti Duh: ›Tako bodo Judje v Jeruzalemu zvezali moža, ki ima v lasti ta pas in ga izročili v roke poganom.‹«
12 As soon as we heard these words, both we and the brethren at Caesarea entreated Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
In ko smo slišali te stvari, smo ga rotili, tako mi kakor tudi tisti iz tega kraja, naj ne hodi gor v Jeruzalem.
13 His reply was, "What can you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief? Why, as for me, I am ready not only to go to Jerusalem and be put in chains, but even to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus."
Potem je Pavel odgovoril: »Kaj mislite, da jokate in da mi lomite moje srce? Pripravljen sem ne samo biti zvezan, temveč v Jeruzalemu tudi umreti za ime Gospoda Jezusa.«
14 So when he was not to be dissuaded, we ceased remonstrating with him and said, "The Lord's will be done!"
In ko ni želel biti pregovorjen, smo prenehali, rekoč: »Zgôdi se Gospodova volja.«
15 A few days afterwards we loaded our baggage-cattle and continued our journey to Jerusalem.
In po teh dneh smo vzeli svojo prtljago in odšli gor v Jeruzalem.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also joined our party, and brought with them Mnason, a Cyprian, one of the early disciples, at whose house we were to lodge.
Z nami so šli tja tudi nekateri učenci iz Cezareje in s seboj so privedli nekega Mnazona iz Cipra, starega učenca, pri katerem naj bi prenočili.
17 At length we reached Jerusalem, and there the brethren gave us a hearty welcome.
In ko smo prišli v Jeruzalem, so nas bratje veselo sprejeli.
18 On the following day we went with Paul to call on James, and all the Elders of the Church came also.
In naslednji dan je Pavel z nami odšel k Jakobu in prisotne so bile vse starešine.
19 After exchanging friendly greetings, Paul told in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his instrumentality.
In ko jih je pozdravil, je podrobno pojasnil, kakšne stvari je Bog po njegovi službi storil med pogani.
20 And they, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God. Then they said, "You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith, and they are all zealous upholders of the Law.
In ko so to slišali, so slavili Gospoda in mu rekli: »Vidiš, brat, kako mnogo tisočev Judov je tukaj, ki verujejo, in vsi so goreči za postavo,
21 Now what they have been repeatedly told about you is that you teach all the Jews among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, and that you forbid them to circumcise their children or observe old-established customs.
o tebi pa so obveščeni, da vse Jude, ki so med pogani, učiš, da zapustijo Mojzesa, rekoč, da jim ni treba obrezati njihovih otrok niti živeti po običajih.
22 What then ought you to do? They are sure to hear that you have come to Jerusalem;
Kaj je to torej? Množica mora brezpogojno priti skupaj, kajti slišali bodo, da si prišel.
23 so do this which we now tell you. We have four men here who have a vow resting on them.
Pravimo ti, stôri torej tole: ›Imamo štiri može, ki imajo na sebi zaobljubo;
24 Associate with these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads. Then everybody will know that there is no truth in these stories about you, but that in your own actions you yourself scrupulously obey the Law.
vzemi jih in se z njimi očisti in naj bodo tvoji stroški, da si bodo lahko obrili svoje glave, in vsi bodo lahko spoznali, da te stvari, o katerih so bili glede tebe obveščeni, niso nič, temveč da tudi sam živiš redno in se držiš postave.‹
25 But as for the Gentiles who have accepted the faith, we have communicated to them our decision that they are carefully to abstain from anything sacrificed to an idol, from blood, from what is strangled, and from fornication."
Kar zadeva pogane, ki verujejo, smo pisali in sklenili, da [naj] ne obeležujejo nobene takšne stvari, razen samo, da se varujejo pred stvarmi darovanim malikom in pred krvjo in pred zadavljenim in pred prešuštvom.«
26 So Paul associated with the men; and the next day, having purified himself with them, he went into the Temple, giving every one to understand that the days of their purification were finished, and there he remained until the sacrifice for each of them was offered.
Tedaj je Pavel vzel može in naslednji dan, ko se je očistil, je z njimi vstopil v tempelj, da naznani dovršitev dni očiščevanja, dokler se ne bi za vsakega izmed njih darovala daritev.
27 But, when the seven days were nearly over, the Jews from the province of Asia, having seen Paul in the Temple, set about rousing the fury of all the people against him.
In ko se je sedem dni skoraj dokončalo, so Judje, ki so bili iz Azije, ko so ga zagledali v templju, razvneli vso množico in nanj položili roke
28 They laid hands on him, crying out, "Men of Israel, help! help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the Jewish people and the Law and this place. And besides, he has even brought Gentiles into the Temple and has desecrated this holy place."
ter vzklikali: »Možje Izraelci, pomagajte: ›To je človek, ki povsod vse može uči proti ljudem in postavi ter temu kraju, in razen tega je tudi Grke privedel v tempelj in oskrunil ta sveti prostor.‹«
29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and imagined that Paul had brought him into the Temple.)
(Kajti prej so v mestu videli z njim Efežana Trofima, za katerega so domnevali, da ga je Pavel privedel v tempelj.)
30 The excitement spread through the whole city, and the people rushed in crowds to the Temple, and there laid hold of Paul and began to drag him out; and the Temple gates were immediately closed.
In vse mesto je bilo razdraženo in ljudje so tekli skupaj in prijeli so Pavla ter ga odvlekli iz templja in nemudoma so bila vrata zaprta.
31 But while they were trying to kill Paul, word was taken up to the Tribune in command of the battalion, that all Jerusalem was in a ferment.
In medtem ko so ga poskušali ubiti, so prišle k vrhovnemu poveljniku čete novice, da je bil ves Jeruzalem v vstaji.
32 He instantly sent for a few soldiers and their officers, and came down among the people with all speed. At the sight of the Tribune and the troops they ceased beating Paul.
Ki je takoj vzel vojake in stotnike ter stekel dol k njim. In ko so zagledali vrhovnega poveljnika in vojake, so Pavla prenehali pretepati.
33 Then the Tribune, making his way to him, arrested him, and, having ordered him to be secured with two chains, proceeded to ask who he was and what he had been doing.
Tedaj se je približal vrhovni poveljnik in ga prijel ter mu ukazal, naj bo zvezan z dvema verigama in zahteval je kdo je bil in kaj je storil.
34 Some of the crowd shouted one accusation against Paul and some another, until, as the uproar made it impossible for the truth to be ascertained with certainty, the Tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
In nekateri so med množico vpili eno stvar, nekateri drugo in ko ni mogel zanesljivo izvedeti gotovosti za hrup, je ukazal, da ga s seboj vzamejo v grad.
35 When Paul was going up the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;
In ko je prišel na stopnice, je bilo tako, da so ga zaradi nasilja množice nesli vojaki.
36 for the whole mass of the people pressed on in the rear, shouting, "Away with him!"
Kajti množica ljudi je sledila za njimi in kričala: »Proč z njim.«
37 When he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the Tribune, "May I speak to you?" "Do you know Greek?" the Tribune asked.
In ko naj bi bil Pavel odveden v grad, je vrhovnemu poveljniku rekel: »Ti smem spregovoriti?« Ki je rekel: »Znaš govoriti grško?
38 "Are you not the Egyptian who some years ago excited the riot of the 4,000 cut-throats, and led them out into the Desert?"
Ali nisi ti tisti Egipčan, ki je pred temi dnevi naredil vstajo in v divjino odvedel štiri tisoč mož, ki so bili morilci?«
39 "I am a Jew," replied Paul, "belonging to Tarsus in Cilicia, and am a citizen of no unimportant city. Give me leave, I pray you, to speak to the people."
Vendar je Pavel rekel: »Jaz sem človek, ki sem Jud iz Tarza, mesta v Kilikiji, meščan ne nepomembnega mesta, in rotim te, dovoli mi, da spregovorim ljudem.«
40 So with his permission Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people to be quiet; and when there was perfect silence he addressed them in Hebrew.
In ko mu je dal dovoljenje, je Pavel stal na stopnicah in z roko dal znamenje ljudem. In ko je nastala velika tišina, jim je spregovoril v hebrejskem jeziku, rekoč:
