Acts 11

1 And the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard that also the nations did receive the word of God,

Apostoli in bratje, ki so bili v Judeji, pa so slišali, da so tudi pogani sprejeli Božjo besedo.

2 and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him,

In ko je Peter prišel gor v Jeruzalem, so se tisti, ki so bili iz obreze, pričkali z njim,

3 saying — 'Unto men uncircumcised thou didst go in, and didst eat with them!'

rekoč: »Odšel si k neobrezanim ljudem in jedel z njimi.«

4 And Peter having begun, did expound to them in order saying,

Toda Peter jim je zadevo ponovil od začetka in jim jo po vrsti pojasnil, rekoč:

5 'I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto me;

»Bil sem v mestu Jopa in molil in v zamaknjenju sem videl videnje: ›Neka posoda se je spuščala, kot bi bil to velik prt, s štirimi vogali spuščan dol iz neba in ta je prišel celó do mene.

6 at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven;

Na katerem sem, ko sem [vanj] uprl svoje oči, opazoval in zagledal štirinožne zemeljske živali in divje zveri in plazeče stvari ter perjad neba.

7 and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;

In zaslišal sem glas, ki mi je rekel: ›Vstani, Peter, zakolji in jej.‹‹

8 and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth;

Vendar sem rekel: ›Ne tako, Gospod, kajti v moja usta nikoli ni vstopilo nič oskrunjenega ali nečistega.‹

9 and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou — declare not thou common.

Toda glas iz neba mi je ponovno odgovoril: ›Kar je Bog očistil, tega ne imenuj oskrunjeno.‹

10 'And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven,

To pa se je zgodilo trikrat in vse je bilo ponovno dvignjeno v nebo.

11 and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea unto me,

In glej, takoj so bili tam trije možje, poslani k meni iz Cezareje, [ki so] že prišli k hiši, kjer sem bil.

12 and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man,

In Duh mi je zaukazal, naj grem z njimi, ne da bi kaj dvomil. Poleg tega me je spremljalo teh šest bratov in vstopili smo v moževo hišo

13 he declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

in razložil nam je, kako je v svoji hiši videl angela, ki je stal ter mu rekel: ›Pošlji može v Jopo in pokliči Simona, katerega vzdevek je Peter,

14 who shall speak sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

ki ti bo povedal besede, po katerih boš rešen ti in vsa tvoja hiša.‹

15 'And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning,

In ko sem začel govoriti, je nanje padel Sveti Duh, kakor v začetku na nas.

16 and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit;

Potem sem se spomnil Gospodove besede, kako je rekel: ›Janez je zares krščeval z vodo, toda vi boste krščeni s Svetim Duhom.‹

17 if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I — how was I able to withstand God?'

Torej jim je tedaj Bog dal podoben dar, kakor ga je dal nam, ki smo verovali v Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa. Kaj sem bil jaz, da bi se mogel zoperstaviti Bogu?«

18 And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, 'Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'

Ko so slišali te stvari, so molčali in slavili Boga, rekoč: »Torej je Bog tudi poganom zagotovil kesanje v življenje.«

19 Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;

Torej tisti, ki so bili razkropljeni naokoli zaradi preganjanja, ki je nastalo okoli Štefana, so potovali prav do Fenikije in Cipra in Antiohije in nikomur niso oznanjali besede, razen samo Judom.

20 and there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the Hellenists, proclaiming good news — the Lord Jesus,

Nekateri izmed teh pa so bili možje s Cipra in Cirene, ki so, ko so prišli v Antiohijo, govorili Grkom ter oznanjali Gospoda Jezusa.

21 and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.

In Gospodova roka je bila z njimi, in veliko število [jih] je verovalo ter se spreobrnilo h Gospodu.

22 And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through unto Antioch,

Potem so besede o teh stvareh prišle do ušes cerkve, ki je bila v Jeruzalemu, in poslali so naprej Barnaba, da bi šel prav do Antiohije.

23 who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the Lord,

Kateri, ko je prišel in videl Božjo milost, je bil vesel in vse spodbujal, da bi se s srčnim namenom trdno držali Gospoda.

24 because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.

Kajti bil je dober človek ter poln Svetega Duha in vere. In mnogo ljudi je bilo dodanih h Gospodu.

25 And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,

Potem se je Barnaba odpravil v Tarz, da poišče Savla,

26 and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they a whole year did assemble together in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, the disciples also were divinely called first in Antioch Christians.

in ko ga je našel, ga je privedel v Antiohijo. In pripetilo se je, da sta se celo leto zbirala s cerkvijo ter učila mnogo ljudi. In učenci so bili v Antiohiji prvič imenovani kristjani.

27 And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,

In v teh dneh so prišli preroki iz Jeruzalema v Antiohijo.

28 and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world — which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar —

In vstal je nekdo, po imenu Agab ter po Duhu kazal, da naj bi bilo veliko pomanjkanje po vsem celotnem svetu, ki se je zgodilo v dneh cesarja Klavdija.

29 and the disciples, according as any one was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministration to the brethren dwelling in Judea,

Potem so bili učenci, vsak mož glede na svojo zmožnost, odločeni, da pošljejo pomoč bratom, ki prebivajo v Judeji,

30 which also they did, having sent unto the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

kar so tudi storili in to po Barnabovih ter Savlovih rokah poslali starešinam.
