Apostolska dela 13

1 Torej v cerkvi, ki je bila v Antiohiji, so bili določeni preroki in učitelji, kot Barnaba in Simeon, ki so ga imenovali Niger in Lukij iz Cirene in Manaén, ki je bil vzgojen s Herodom, vladarjem četrtinskega dela province ter Savel.

NOW there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 Medtem ko so služili Gospodu in se postili, je Sveti Duh rekel: »Oddvojite mi Barnaba in Savla za delo, kamor sem ju poklical.«

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

3 In ko so se postili ter molili in svoje roke položili nanju, so ju odposlali.

And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

4 Tako sta, odposlana po Svetem Duhu, odšla v Selevkíjo in od tam sta odjadrala na Ciper.

So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

5 In ko sta bila v Salamini, sta v judovskih sinagogah oznanjala Božjo besedo in za svojo službo sta imela tudi Janeza.

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

6 In ko sta šla prek otoka do Pafosa, sta našla nekega čarodeja, lažnega preroka, Juda, katerega ime je bilo Barjezus,

And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:

7 ki je bil z namestnikom dežele, Sergijem Pavlom, razsodnim človekom, ki je dal poklicati Barnaba in Savla ter želel slišati Božjo besedo.

Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

8 Toda čarodej Elíma (kajti takšno je po razlagi njegovo ime), se jima je zoperstavil ter si prizadeval namestnika odvrniti od vere.

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

9 Potem je Savel (ki se imenuje tudi Pavel), izpolnjen s Svetim Duhom, svoje oči uprl vanj

Then Saul, (who also is called Paul, ) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

10 in rekel: »Oh poln vseh premetenosti in vseh vragolij, ti hudičev otrok, ti sovražnik vse pravičnosti, ali ne boš prenehal izkrivljati Gospodovih ravnih poti?

And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 In sedaj glej, Gospodova roka je nad teboj in oslepel boš ter za nekaj časa ne boš videl sonca.« In takoj sta padla nanj zamegljenost in tema in krožil je ter iskal nekoga, da ga vodi za roko.

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

12 Potem je namestnik, ko je videl, kaj se je zgodilo, veroval in bil osupel nad Gospodovim naukom.

Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

13 Torej ko so Pavel in njegova skupina odpluli iz Pafosa, so prišli v Pergo v Pamfiliji. Janez pa se je ločil od njiju in se vrnil v Jeruzalem.

Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

14 Toda ko sta se odpravila iz Perge, sta prišla v Antiohijo v Pizidiji in na šabatni dan odšla v sinagogo ter se usedla.

But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

15 Po branju postave in prerokov pa so predstojniki sinagoge poslali ponju, rekoč: » Vidva moža in brata, če imata kako spodbudno besedo za ljudi, povejta.«

And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

16 Tedaj je Pavel vstal in s svojo roko dal znamenje ter rekel: »Možje Izraelci in vi, ki se bojite Boga, poslušajte.

Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

17 Bog teh ljudi iz Izraela je izbral naše očete in povišal ljudi, ko so kot tujci prebivali v egiptovski deželi in jih s povzdignjenim laktom privedel ven iz nje.

The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

18 In približno okoli štirideset let je prenašal njihovo obnašanje v divjini.

And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

19 In ko je v kánaanski deželi uničil sedem narodov, jim je njihovo deželo razdelil z žrebom.

And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

20 Nató pa jim je dajal sodnike za približno štiristo petdeset let, do preroka Samuela.

And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

21 In zatem so zahtevali kralja in Bog jim je dal Savla, Kiševega sina, moža iz Benjaminovega rodu, za približno štirideset let.

And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

22 In ko ga je odstranil, jim je dvignil Davida, da bi bil njihov kralj, ki mu je dal tudi pričevanje ter rekel: ›Našel sem Davida, Jesejevega sina, moža po svojem lastnem srcu, ki bo izpolnil vso mojo voljo.‹

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

23 Iz semena tega človeka je Bog, glede na svojo obljubo, Izraelu obudil Odrešenika, Jezusa,

Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24 ko je pred njegovim prihodom Janez oznanjal krst kesanja vsem ljudem iz Izraela.

When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 In ko je Janez izpolnil svoj tek, je rekel: ›Kdo mislite, da sem jaz? Jaz nisem on. Toda glejte, za menoj prihaja nekdo, čigar čevljev z njegovih stopal nisem vreden odvezati.‹

And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 Možje in bratje, otroci Abrahamove rase ter kdorkoli se med vami boji Boga, vam je poslana beseda te rešitve duš.

Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27 Kajti tisti, ki prebivajo v Jeruzalemu in njihovi vladarji, ker niso spoznali njega niti glasov prerokov, ki se berejo vsak šabatni dan, so jih izpolnili z njegovo obsodbo.

For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 In čeprav na njem niso našli nobenega razloga za smrt, so od Pilata zahtevali, da naj bi bil umorjen.

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29 In ko so izpolnili vse, kar je bilo pisano o njem, so ga sneli z lesa ter ga položili v mavzolej.

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 Toda Bog ga je obudil od mrtvih,

But God raised him from the dead:

31 in mnogo dni so ga videli tisti, ki so prišli z njim iz Galileje v Jeruzalem, ki so njegove priče ljudem.

And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32 In mi vam razodevamo vesele novice, kako je to obljubo, ki je bila narejena očetom,

And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33 Bog izpolnil nam, njihovim otrokom, v tem, da je ponovno dvignil Jezusa, kakor je tudi pisano v drugem psalmu: ›Ti si moj Sin, danes sem te rodil.‹

God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 In glede na to, da ga je obudil od mrtvih, sedaj ni več vrnitve k trohnenju, je rekel na ta način: ›Dal vam bom zanesljive Davidove milosti.‹

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35 Zato tudi pravi v še enem psalmu: ›Svojemu Svetemu ne boš dal videti trohnenja.‹

Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36 Kajti David je, potem ko je po Božji volji služil svojemu lastnemu rodu, zaspal in bil položen k svojim očetom ter videl trohnenje,

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37 toda ta, ki ga je Bog ponovno obudil, ni videl trohnenja.

But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

38 Naj bo torej znano vam, možje in bratje, da se vam po tem človeku oznanjuje odpuščanje grehov,

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39 in po njem ste vsi, ki verujete, opravičeni vseh stvari, od katerih niste mogli biti opravičeni po Mojzesovi postavi.

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40 Pazite se torej, da ne pride nad vas to, o čemer je govora v prerokih:

Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41 ›Glejte, vi prezirljivci in čudite se ter izginite, kajti v vaših dneh delam delo, delo katerega nikakor ne boste verovali, četudi vam ga človek razodene.‹«

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

42 In ko so Judje odšli iz sinagoge, so pogani prosili, da bi jim bile te besede lahko oznanjene naslednjo šabat.

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

43 Torej ko je bila skupnost razpuščena, so mnogi izmed Judov in religioznih spreobrnjencev sledili Pavlu in Barnabu, ki sta jim govorila in jih prepričevala naj nadaljujejo v Božji milosti.

Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44 Naslednji šabatni dan pa je prišlo skupaj skoraj celotno mesto, da sliši Božjo besedo.

And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

45 Toda ko so Judje videli množice, so bili izpolnjeni z zavistjo in ugovarjali ter preklinjali in govorili proti tem stvarem, ki jih je govoril Pavel.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

46 Tedaj sta Pavel in Barnaba postala pogumna in rekla: »Potrebno je bilo, da bi se Božja beseda najprej spregovorila vam, toda ker ste jo postavili proč od sebe in sebe sodite nevredne večnega življenja, glejte, se obračava k poganom. (aiōnios g166)

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 Kajti tako nam je ukazal Gospod, rekoč: ›Postavil sem te, da bi bil svetloba poganom, da naj bi bil za rešitev duš do koncev zemlje.‹«

For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

48 In ko so pogani to slišali, so bili veseli in slavili Gospodovo besedo; in kolikor jih je bilo odrejenih za večno življenje, je verovalo. (aiōnios g166)

And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)

49 In Gospodova beseda je bila razglašena po vsem celotnem področju.

And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

50 Toda Judje so razvneli predane in častitljive ženske ter vodilne može mesta ter dvignili preganjanje zoper Pavla in Barnaba ter ju izgnali iz svojih krajev.

But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

51 Vendar sta proti njim otresla prah s svojih stopal in prišla v Ikónij.

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

52 Učenci pa so bili izpolnjeni z radostjo in s Svetim Duhom.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
