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.
In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 Toda neverni Judje so razvneli pogane in hudobno vplivali na njihovo mišljenje proti bratom.
But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
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.
Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Vendar je bila množica iz mesta razdeljena; del je držal z Judi, del pa z apostoli.
But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part 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,
When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6 sta bila o tem obveščena in pobegnila v Listro in Derbo, mesti v Likaoniji in k področju, ki leži naokoli
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 in tam oznanjala evangelij.
There they preached the Good News.
8 In v Listri je sedel nek mož, nemočen v svojih stopalih, pohabljen že od maternice svoje matere, ki nikoli ni hodil.
At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Isti je slišal Pavla govoriti. Ta je neomajno zrl vanj in zaznavajoč, da je imel vero, da bi bil ozdravljen,
He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 je z močnim glasom rekel: »Stopi pokonci na svoja stopala.« In poskočil je in hodil.
said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leapt up 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.«
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
12 In Barnaba so imenovali Jupitra, Pavla pa Merkurja, ker je bil glavni govornik.
They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Potem je Jupitrov svečenik, ki je bil pred njihovim mestom, k velikim vratom privedel vola in vence in z množico želel opraviti žrtvovanje.
The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
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 of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, 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,
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
16 ki je v prejšnjih časih prenašal vse narode, da hodijo po svojih lastnih poteh.
who in the generations gone by allowed all the 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.«
Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 In s temi besedami sta komaj zadržala množico, da jima ni opravila žrtvovanja.
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a 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.
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was 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 rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 In ko sta temu mestu oznanila evangelij ter mnoge učila, sta se ponovno vrnila v Listro in v Ikónij in Antiohijo
When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, 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 disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
23 In ko sta jim v vsaki cerkvi odredila starešine ter molila s postom, sta jih priporočila Gospodu, ki so mu verovali.
When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
24 In potem, ko sta prepotovala skozi vso Pizidijo, sta prišla v Pamfilijo.
They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 In ko sta besedo oznanila v Pergi, sta odšla dol v Atálejo
When they had 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.
From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
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.
When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 In tam sta z učenci ostala dolgo časa.
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
