Apostolska dela 17
1 Torej ko sta šla skozi Amfípolo in Apolonijo sta prišla do Tesaloníke, kjer je bila judovska sinagoga.
And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 In kakor je bila njegova navada, je Pavel vstopil k njim in tri šabatne dneve z njimi razpravljal iz pisem,
And Paul, according to his custom, went in to them, and, for three sabbath-days, he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3 razkrival in trdil, da je Kristus brezpogojno moral trpeti in ponovno vstati od mrtvih in da je ta Jezus, ki vam ga oznanjam, Kristus.
explaining and affirming that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead; and that this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.
4 In nekateri izmed njih so verovali in se družili s Pavlom in Silom, in velika množica izmed predanih Grkov ter ne malo izmed vodilnih žensk.
And some of them believed, and associated themselves with Paul and Silas; of the devout Greeks, a great multitude, and of the chief women, not a few.
5 Toda Judje, ki niso verovali, so prevzeti z zavistjo, vzeli k sebi neke ničvredne pajdaše iz prostaške sorte in zbrali skupino in po vsem mestu zanetili vstajo ter napadli Jazonovo hišo in si prizadevali, da ju privedejo k ljudstvu [dežele].
But the unbelieving Jews, taking with them some evil men, who were loungers about the markets, and collecting a mob, set the city in an uproar; and having assaulted the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
6 Ko pa ju niso našli, so Jazona in neke brate odvlekli k vladarjem mesta ter kričali: »Tile, ki so obrnili svet na glavo, so prišli tudi sèm,
But not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying out: These men, who have thrown the world into confusion, have come hither also;
7 ki jih je sprejel Jazon, in vsi ti delajo nasprotno cesarjevim odlokom, rekoč, da obstaja drug kralj, nek Jezus.«
whom Jason has received into his house: and they all act in opposition to the decrees of Cæsar, saying, That there is another king, Jesus.
8 In vznemirili so množico in mestne vladarje, ko so slišali te stvari.
And the multitude, and the rulers of the city, were troubled when they heard these things.
9 In ko so od Jazona in od drugih prejeli varščino, so jih izpustili.
And they took security of Jason, and of the others, and let them go.
10 In bratje so Pavla ter Sila takoj ponoči odposlali v Berójo. Ko sta prispela tja, sta odšla v judovsko sinagogo.
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea; and when they had come, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 Ti so bili plemenitejši, kakor tisti v Tesaloníki, ker so z vso prisebnostjo sprejeli besedo in dnevno preiskovali pisma, če so bile te stvari take.
These were of a better disposition than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
12 Zato so mnogi izmed njih verovali, tudi častitljive ženske, ki so bile Grkinje in izmed mož ne malo.
Therefore, many of them believed; both of influential women, who were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
13 Toda ko so Judje iz Tesaloníke spoznali, da je Pavel Božjo besedo oznanjal v Beróji, so prišli tudi tja in razvneli množico.
But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul in Berea also, they came thither, and excited the multitude.
14 In potem so bratje Pavla takoj odposlali, da gre, kot bi bilo k morju, toda Sila in Timótej sta še vedno ostala tam.
Then the brethren immediately sent Paul away, to go as if to the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
15 In ti, ki so spremljali Pavla, so ga privedli v Atene in ko so prejeli zapoved za Sila in Timóteja, naj z vso naglico prideta k njemu, so odšli.
And those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and having received a commandment for Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
16 Torej medtem ko je Pavel v Atenah čakal nanju, je bil njegov duh v njem razvnet, ko je videl mesto v celoti predano malikovanju.
Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, when he saw the city full of idols.
17 Zato se je v sinagogi prerekal z Judi in s predanimi osebami in vsakodnevno na trgu s temi, ki so se srečevali z njim.
Accordingly, he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and devout persons, and in the market daily, with those who chanced to meet him.
18 Potem so mu ugovarjali neki filozofi izmed epikurejcev in izmed stoikov. In nekateri so rekli: »Kaj hoče povedati ta blebetavec?« Drugi nekako: »Zdi se, da je oznanjevalec tujih bogov, « ker jim je oznanjal Jezusa in vstajenje.
And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers disputed with him; and some said: What can this babbler possibly wish to say? Others said: He seems to be a proclaimer of strange demons: for he preached to them Jesus and the Resurrection.
19 In prijeli so ga ter ga privedli na Areopag, rekoč: »Ali lahko izvemo, kakšen je ta novi nauk, o katerem govoriš?«
And they took him, and brought him to Mars hill, saying: Are we able to understand what this new teaching is, which is announced by you?
20 Kajti v naša ušesa prinašaš nekatere čudne besede. Hočemo torej izvedeti, kaj te stvari pomenijo.
For you bring some strange things to our ears: we wish to understand then what these things mean.
21 (Kajti vsi Atenci in tujci, ki so bili tam, svojega časa niso porabljali za nič drugega, razen da so ali govorili ali poslušali kako novo stvar.)
For all the Athenians and resident strangers have leisure for nothing else than to tell or to hear some new thing.
22 Tedaj je Pavel na sredi Marsovega hriba vstal in rekel: » Vi atenski možje, zaznavam, da ste v vseh stvareh preveč vraževerni.
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars hill, and said: Men of Athens, I perceive that in all respects your reverence for demons excels that of other men.
23 Kajti ko sem šel mimo in gledal vaše predmete čaščenja, sem našel oltar s tem napisom: NEPOZNANEMU BOGU. Katerega torej vi nevedno obožujete, tega vam jaz razglašam.
For as I was passing through, and looking attentively at the objects of your worship, I dis covered also an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him I make known to you.
24 Bog, ki je naredil svet in vse stvari na njem, glede na to, da je on Gospodar neba in zemlje, ne prebiva v templjih, narejenimi z rokami,
God, who made the world, and all things that are in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;
25 tudi ni oboževan s človeškimi rokami, kakor da karkoli potrebuje, glede na to, da vsem daje življenje in dihanje in vse stvari
nor is he ministered to by the hands of men, as if he needed any thing: for he himself gives to all life, and breath, and all things:
26 in je iz ene krvi naredil vse narode ljudi, da prebivajo na vsem obličju zemlje in je vnaprej določil določene čase in meje njihovega prebivanja,
and he has made from one blood every nation of men, that they might dwell on all the face of the earth, having marked out their appointed times, and the bounds of their dwelling:
27 da bi iskali Gospoda, če bi ga morda dotipali in ga našli, čeprav ni daleč od vsakega izmed nas.
that they might seek for God, if perhaps they would feel after him, and find him, although, indeed, he is not far from every one of us.
28 Kajti v njem živimo in se gibljemo in obstajamo, kakor so rekli celó nekateri izmed vaših lastnih pesnikov: ›Kajti tudi mi smo njegovo potomstvo.‹
For in him we live, and move, and have our being: as also some of your own poets have said: For we his offspring are.
29 Kot smo torej zagotovo potomstvo Boga, ne bi smeli misliti, da je Božanstvo podobno zlatu ali srebru ali kamnu, vrezanemu od umetnika in [s] človeško pripravo.
Therefore, being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhood is like gold, or silver, or stone, sculptured by art and the device of man.
30 In nad časi te nevednosti je Bog zamižal, toda sedaj povsod vsem ljudem zapoveduje, da se pokesajo,
Yet the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now, he commands all men everywhere to repent:
31 kajti določil je dan, na katerega bo sodil svet v pravičnosti, po tem možu, ki ga je določil. O tem je dal zagotovilo vsem ljudem, ker ga je obudil od mrtvih.«
because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world, in righteousness, by the man whom he has chosen, giving to all assurance of this, by having raised him from the dead.
32 Ko pa so slišali o vstajenju mrtvih, so se nekateri posmehovali, drugi pa so rekli: »Oh tej zadevi te bomo ponovno poslušali.«
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; others said: We will hear you again concerning this matter.
33 Tako je Pavel odšel izmed njih.
And so Paul departed from among them.
34 Vendar so se mu določeni možje trdno pridružili in verovali, med katerimi je bil Dionizij Areopagít in ženska, po imenu Dámaris in drugi z njima.
But certain men associated with him, and believed; among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
