Apostolska dela 15
1 Neki ljudje, ki so prišli dol iz Judeje, pa so učili brate in govorili: »Razen če ne boste obrezani po Mojzesovem običaju, ne morete biti rešeni.«
Now some that came down from Judea, taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised according to the law of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 Ko sta imela torej Pavel in Barnaba z njimi ne majhno razhajanje mnenj ter se z njimi pričkala, so odločili, da naj bi glede tega vprašanja Pavel in Barnaba ter nekateri drugi izmed njih šli gor v Jeruzalem, k apostolom in starešinam.
A dissension therefore arising, and Paul and Barnabas having no small dispute with them, it was resolved that Paul and Barnabas, and some others, should go up to the apostles and elders at Jerusalem about this question.
3 In na njihovo pot spremljani s cerkvijo, so šli skozi Fenikijo in Samarijo in razglašali spreobrnitev poganov in vsem bratom so napravili veliko radost.
They therefore, being brought forward on their way by the church, passed through Phenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles: and they gave great joy to all the brethren.
4 In ko so prišli v Jeruzalem, so bili sprejeti od cerkve in od apostolov ter starešin in razglasili so vse stvari, ki jih je Bog z njimi storil.
And when they came to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they told them all that God had done by them.
5 Toda vstali so nekateri iz ločine farizejev, ki so verovali, rekoč: »Da jih je treba obrezati in jim naročiti, naj se držijo Mojzesove postave.«
But there rose up, said they, some of the sect of the pharisees that believed, saying, that it was necessary to circumcise them, and enjoin them to keep the law of Moses.
6 In apostoli in starešine so prišli skupaj, da preudarijo o tej besedi.
So the apostles and elders were assembled together to consider about this matter.
7 In ko je bilo mnogo razpravljanja, je vstal Peter ter jim rekel: »Možje in bratje, vi veste, kako to, da je Bog pred davnim časom naredil med nami izbiro, da naj bi pogani po mojih ustih slišali besedo evangelija in verovali.
And after much debate, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know that a good while ago, God, who was among us, chose that the Gentiles should hear by my mouth the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 In Bog, ki pozna srca, jim pričuje, ker jim daje Svetega Duha, prav tako kakor je storil nam
And God who knoweth the heart, bare witness to them, giving them the holy Spirit, as He had done also to us:
9 in ni naredil nobene razlike med nami ter njimi, ko je po veri očistil njihova srca.
and made no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
10 Zakaj torej zdaj skušate Boga, da nadenete na vrat učencev jarem, ki ga niti naši očetje niti mi nismo mogli nositi?
Now therefore why do ye tempt God, in imposing a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Ampak mi verujemo, da bomo rešeni po milosti Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, prav tako kakor oni.«
But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, in like manner as they.
12 Potem je vsa množica molčala in poslušala Barnaba in Pavla, ki sta razglašala, kakšne čudežne moči in čudeže je po njiju Bog storil med pogani.
And all the multitude kept silence, and gave attention to Barnabas and Paul, relating what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 In potem, ko so molčali, je Jakob odgovoril, rekoč: »Možje in bratje, prisluhnite mi.
And after they had done speaking, James rose up and said, Brethren, hearken unto me.
14 Simeon je povedal, kako je Bog najprej obiskal pogane, da vzame izmed njih ljudi za svoje ime.
---Simeon hath related, how God at first condescended to take out of the Gentiles a people to his name.
15 In k temu se ujemajo besede prerokov, kakor je pisano:
And to this agree the words of the prophets,
16 ›Po tem se bom vrnil in ponovno zgradil Davidovo šotorsko svetišče, ki je padlo in ruševine le-tega bom ponovno zgradil in jaz ga bom ponovno postavil,
as it is written, "After this will I return, and rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will repair its ruins, and set it up again.
17 da bi lahko preostanek ljudi iskal Gospoda in vsi pogani, nad katere je klicano moje ime, govori Gospod, ki dela vse te stvari.‹
That the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the nations, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord who doth all these things."
Now all his works are known unto God from the beginning of the world: (aiōn g165)
19 Zatorej je moja razsodba, da ne vznemirjamo teh, ki so se iz poganstva obrnili k Bogu,
wherefore my advice is, not to trouble those who from among the Gentiles are converted to God; but to write to them,
20 temveč, da jim napišemo, da se vzdržijo pred oskrunitvijo od malikov in pred prešuštvom in pred zadavljenimi stvarmi in pred krvjo.
that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 Kajti Mojzes ima od starih časov v vsakem mestu tiste, ki ga oznanjajo, beroč vsak šabatni dan v sinagogah.«
For Moses hath had from ancient times those that preach him in every city, and is still read in the synagogues every sabbath-day.
22 Tedaj je apostolom in starešinam s celotno cerkvijo to ugajalo, da s Pavlom in Barnabom pošljejo v Antiohijo izbrana moža iz svoje lastne skupine; namreč Juda, imenovanega z vzdevkom Bársaba in Sila, vodilna moža med brati.
Then it seemed good to the apostles, and elders, and the whole church, to send men chose from among themselves to Antioch along with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas sirnamed Barsabas, and Silas; leading men among the brethren:
23 In po njiju so napisali pisma na ta način: ›Apostoli, starešine in bratje pošiljamo pozdrave bratom, ki so izmed poganov v Antiohiji in Siriji ter Kilikiji,
and they wrote by their hand, as follows, The apostles and elders and brethren here to the Gentile brethren which are in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, send greeting.
24 ker smo slišali, da so vas nekateri, ki so odšli izmed nas, vznemirjali z besedami in spodkopavali vaše duše, rekoč: ›Vi morate biti obrezani in se držati postave, ‹ katerim nismo dali nobene takšne zapovedi.
Forasmuch as we have heard, that some who went out from us, have troubled you by their discourses, unsettling your minds, saying, ye must be circumcised, and keep the law; to whom we gave no such commission;
25 Nam, ki smo soglasno zbrani, se zdi dobro, da z našima ljubljenima Barnabom in Pavlom pošljemo k vam izbrana moža,
it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you, with our beloved brethren Barnabas and Paul,
26 moža, ki sta svoja življenja tvegala zaradi imena našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
who have exposed their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Poslali smo torej Juda in Sila, ki vam bosta iste stvari povedala ustno.
We have therefore sent with them Judas and Silas, to tell you the same things also by word of mouth.
28 Kajti Svetemu Duhu in nam se zdi dobro, da vam ne nalagamo večjega bremena kakor te potrebne stvari:
For it seemed good to the holy Spirit, and so to us, to lay no more burthen upon you than these necessary things.
29 da se vzdržite pred hrano, darovano malikom in pred krvjo in pred zadavljenimi stvarmi ter pred prešuštvom. Če sebe obvarujete pred njimi, boste storili v redu. Mnogo uspeha.‹
That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from fornication: from which ye will do well to keep yourselves. Farewel.
30 Torej ko so bili odposlani, so prišli v Antiohijo in ko so skupaj zbrali množico, so izročili poslanico,
Being thus dispatched they came to Antioch, and when they had assembled the brethren, they delivered the epistle.
31 katere so se, zaradi tolažbe, ko so jo brali, razveselili.
And when they had read it, they rejoiced at the consolation it brought.
32 Juda in Sila, ki sta bila tudi sama preroka, pa sta brate z mnogimi besedami spodbujala in jih krepila.
And Judas and Silas being prophets also themselves, exhorted and established: the brethren by many discourses.
33 In potem, ko sta se kratek čas mudila tam, sta od bratov v miru odšla k apostolom.
And after some time, they were dismissed with peace from the brethren to the apostles.
34 Vendar je Sili ugajalo, da še ostane tam.
But it seemed good to Silas to continue there: Paul also and Barnabas stayed at Antioch,
35 Tudi Pavel in Barnaba sta prav tako nadaljevala z mnogimi drugimi v Antiohiji in učila ter oznanjala Gospodovo besedo.
teaching and preaching, with many others likewise, the word of the Lord.
36 Nekaj dni kasneje je Pavel rekel Barnabu: »Pojdiva ponovno in obiščiva naše brate v vsakem mestu, kjer sva oznanjala Gospodovo besedo in poglejva, kako so.«
And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return and visit our brethren in every city, where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are.
37 In Barnaba se je odločil, da s seboj vzameta Janeza, katerega vzdevek je bil Marko.
And Barnabas proposed to take with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
38 Toda Pavlu se ni zdelo dobro z njima vzeti tistega, ki je iz Pamfilije odšel od njiju in z njima ni odšel na delo.
But Paul did not think proper to take him with them, who left them in Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 Spor med njima pa je bil tako oster, da sta se ločila narazen drug od drugega. In tako je Barnaba vzel Marka ter odjadral na Ciper,
And there was a sharp dispute, so that they separated from each other; and Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus: but Paul chose Silas and departed,
40 Pavel pa je izbral Sila in odšel, od bratov priporočen Božji milosti.
being recommended to the grace of God.
41 In odšel je skozi Sirijo in Kilikijo in krepil cerkve.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia confirming the churches.
