Apostolska dela 14
1 Pripetilo pa se je v Ikóniju, da sta oba skupaj odšla v judovsko sinagogo in tako govorila, da je velika množica, tako Judov kakor tudi Grkov, verovala.
NOW it came to pass at Iconium, that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spake in such a manner, as that a vast multitude both of the Jews and Greek proselytes believed.
2 Toda neverni Judje so razvneli pogane in hudobno vplivali na njihovo mišljenje proti bratom.
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up, and maliciously prejudiced the spirits of the Gentiles against the brethren.
3 Ostala sta torej dolgo časa in pogumno govorila v Gospodu, ki je dal pričevanje k besedi svoje milosti in zagotovil, da so se po njunih rokah dogajala znamenja in čudeži.
A long space therefore continued they there speaking boldly in the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, and granted signs and miracles to be wrought by their hands.
4 Vendar je bila množica iz mesta razdeljena; del je držal z Judi, del pa z apostoli.
So the multitude was divided: some indeed were with the Jews, but others with the apostles.
5 In ko je bil storjen napad, ki so ga sprožili tako pogani kakor tudi Judje s svojimi vladarji, da z njima kruto ravnajo in da ju kamnajo,
And when there was a strong effort made both by the Gentiles and Jews with their rulers to ill-treat and stone them,
6 sta bila o tem obveščena in pobegnila v Listro in Derbo, mesti v Likaoniji in k področju, ki leži naokoli
conscious of their danger, they fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the circum-jacent country:
7 in tam oznanjala evangelij.
and there they preached the gospel.
8 In v Listri je sedel nek mož, nemočen v svojih stopalih, pohabljen že od maternice svoje matere, ki nikoli ni hodil.
And there was a certain man at Lystra, who having lost the use of his feet was sitting, being lame from his mother’s womb, and who had never been able to walk:
9 Isti je slišal Pavla govoriti. Ta je neomajno zrl vanj in zaznavajoč, da je imel vero, da bi bil ozdravljen,
this person heard Paul speaking; who fixing his eyes on him, and discovering that he had faith to be healed,
10 je z močnim glasom rekel: »Stopi pokonci na svoja stopala.« In poskočil je in hodil.
said with a loud voice, Stand up firm on thy feet! And he leaped and walked.
11 In ko je množica videla, kaj je Pavel storil, so povzdignili svoje glasove, rekoč v likaonskem jeziku: »K nam dol sta prišla bogova v človeški podobi.«
But when the multitudes beheld what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, in the dialect of Lycaonia, saying, The gods in the form of mortals are come down to us.
12 In Barnaba so imenovali Jupitra, Pavla pa Merkurja, ker je bil glavni govornik.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he principally led the discourse.
13 Potem je Jupitrov svečenik, ki je bil pred njihovim mestom, k velikim vratom privedel vola in vence in z množico želel opraviti žrtvovanje.
Then the priest of Jupiter, who was the presiding deity of their city, brought bulls and garlands unto the gates of the city, and intended to offer a sacrifice with the people.
14 Nakar, ko sta apostola Barnaba in Pavel to slišala, sta razparala svoja oblačila in stekla med množico, vzklikajoč
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard it, they rent their garments, and rushed into the crowd, crying out,
15 in govoreč: »Možje, zakaj počnete te stvari? Tudi midva sva z vami človeka podobnih strasti in oznanjava vam, da naj bi se od teh ničevosti obrnili k živemu Bogu, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo in morje ter vse stvari, ki so v njih,
and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We too are mortals subject to the same infirmities with you; preaching to you the gospel, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things which are therein:
16 ki je v prejšnjih časih prenašal vse narode, da hodijo po svojih lastnih poteh.
who in the past generations hath suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Vendar sebe ni pustil brez pričevanja, ker je delal dobro in nam dajal dež z neba ter rodovitna obdobja in naša srca napolnjeval s hrano in veseljem.«
Although indeed he left not himself untestified of, doing us good, giving us from heaven showers, and fruitful seasons, replenishing our hearts with food and gladness.
18 In s temi besedami sta komaj zadržala množico, da jima ni opravila žrtvovanja.
And thus speaking, scarce restrained they the multitudes from offering the sacrifice to them.
19 In tja so prišli neki Judje iz Antiohije in Ikónija, ki so pregovorili množico in ko so kamnali Pavla, so ga izvlekli iz mesta, ker so mislili, da je bil mrtev.
Then came the Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and gaining over the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
20 Vendar ko so ga obkrožili učenci, je vstal ter prišel v mesto in naslednji dan z Barnabom odšel v Derbo.
But as the disciples stood around him, he arose, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he departed with Barnabas for Derbe.
21 In ko sta temu mestu oznanila evangelij ter mnoge učila, sta se ponovno vrnila v Listro in v Ikónij in Antiohijo
And after preaching the gospel in that city, and bringing many to become disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch;
22 ter krepila duše učencev in jih spodbujala, naj nadaljujejo v veri in da moramo skozi veliko stisko vstopiti v Božje kraljestvo.
strengthening the souls of the brethren, exhorting them to abide firm in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must pass into the kingdom of heaven.
23 In ko sta jim v vsaki cerkvi odredila starešine ter molila s postom, sta jih priporočila Gospodu, ki so mu verovali.
Then appointing them presbyters in every city, by prayer with fastings they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
24 In potem, ko sta prepotovala skozi vso Pizidijo, sta prišla v Pamfilijo.
Then passing through Pisidia, they came unto Pamphylia.
25 In ko sta besedo oznanila v Pergi, sta odšla dol v Atálejo
And having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia:
26 in od tam sta odjadrala v Antiohijo, od koder sta bila priporočena Božji milosti za delo, ki sta ga izvršila.
and thence sailed for Antioch, from whence they had been commended to the grace of God for the service which they had performed.
27 In ko sta prišla in so skupaj zbrali cerkev, sta jim ponovila vse, kar je Bog z njima storil in kako je odprl vrata vere k poganom.
So when they arrived they called the church together, and related what great things God had done by them, and that he had opened to the heathen the door of faith.
28 In tam sta z učenci ostala dolgo časa.
And there they abode no inconsiderable time with the disciples.
