Apostolska dela 1
1 Prejšnje poročilo sem naredil, oh Teófil, o vsem, kar je Jezus začel, tako delati kakor učiti,
I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,
2 do dne, v katerem je bil vzet gor, potem ko je po Svetem Duhu dal zapovedi apostolom, ki jih je izbral;
Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:
3 katerim se je, po svojem trpljenju, tudi pokazal živega, z mnogimi nezmotljivimi dokazi, ki so jih gledali štirideset dni in govorili o stvareh, ki se nanašajo na Božje kraljestvo;
And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:
4 in ko je bil zbran skupaj z njimi, jim je zapovedal, da naj ne odidejo iz Jeruzalema, temveč čakajo na Očetovo obljubo: »Katero, « on pravi, »ste slišali od mene.
And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:
5 Kajti Janez je resnično krščeval z vodo, toda vi boste krščeni s Svetim Duhom, čez ne mnogo dni.«
For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.
6 Ko so torej prišli skupaj, so ga vprašali, rekoč: »Gospod, ali boš v tem času Izraelu ponovno obnovil kraljestvo?«
So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
7 In rekel jim je: »Ni za vas, da bi vedeli čase ali obdobja, ki jih je Oče postavil v svoji lastni oblasti.
And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.
8 Toda prejeli boste moč, po tem, ko Sveti Duh pride nad vas, in vi mi boste priče, tako v Jeruzalemu kakor po vsej Judeji in v Samariji ter do skrajnega dela zemlje.«
But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
9 In ko je govoril te besede, medtem ko so ga gledali, je bil vzet gor, in oblak ga je sprejel iz njihovega pogleda.
And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.
10 In medtem ko so neomajno gledali proti nebu, ko je šel gor, glej, sta poleg njih stala dva moža v belih oblekah,
And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,
11 ki sta prav tako rekla: »Vi, možje iz Galileje, zakaj stojite strmeč v nebo? Ta isti Jezus, ki je bil od vas vzet gor v nebesa, bo prišel tako, na podoben način, kakor ste ga videli iti v nebo.«
And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
12 Tedaj so se z gore, imenovane Oljska, ki je šabatni dan poti od Jeruzalema, vrnili v Jeruzalem.
Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 In ko so prišli vanj, so odšli gor v gornjo sobo, kjer so prebivali Peter in Jakob in Janez in Andrej, Filip in Tomaž, Bartolomej in Matej, Alfejev sin Jakob in Simon Gorečnik ter Jakobov brat Juda.
And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.
14 Vsi ti so soglasno vztrajali v molitvi in ponižni prošnji z ženskami in Marijo, Jezusovo materjo ter z njegovimi brati.
And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 In v tistih dneh je sredi učencev vstal Peter ter rekel (skupno število imen je bilo okoli sto dvajset):
And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,
16 »Možje in bratje, to pismo se je brezpogojno moralo izpolniti, ki ga je Sveti Duh po Davidovih ustih prej govoril glede Juda, ki je bil vodnik tem, ki so prijeli Jezusa.
My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,
17 Kajti bil je štet z nami in je dosegel delež te službe.
For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.
18 Torej ta človek je s krivično nagrado kupil polje in ko je padel z glavo naprej, se je po sredi razpočil in vsa njegova notranjost se je izlila ven.
(Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.
19 In to je bilo znano vsem jeruzalemskim prebivalcem, tako zelo, da se to polje v njihovem pravem jeziku imenuje Hakéldama, to se pravi: ›Njiva krvi.‹
And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)
20 Kajti pisano je v knjigi Psalmov: ›Naj bo njegovo prebivališče zapuščeno in naj noben človek ne prebiva v njem in njegovo duhovno nadzorništvo naj prevzame nekdo drug.‹
For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.
21 Zatorej izmed teh ljudi, ki so se z nami družili ves čas, ko je Gospod Jezus hodil med nami noter in ven,
For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 začenši od Janezovega krsta do tega istega dne, ko je bil od nas vzet gor, mora biti nekdo odrejen, da bo z nami priča njegovega vstajenja.«
Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.
23 In določili so dva, Jožefa, imenovanega Bársaba, ki je bil imenovan z vzdevkom Just ter Matija.
And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.
24 In molili so ter rekli: »Ti, Gospod, ki poznaš srca vseh ljudi, pokaži, katerega izmed teh dveh si izbral,
And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,
25 da lahko prevzame del te službe in apostolstva, od katerega je Juda s prestopkom odpadel, da bi lahko šel na svoj lasten kraj.«
To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.
26 In naznanili so svoje žrebe in žreb je padel na Matija in ta je bil prištet enajsterim apostolom.
And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
