Apostolska dela 20
1 In potem, ko je vstaja prenehala, je Pavel k sebi poklical učence ter jih objel in odšel, češ da gre v Makedonijo.
Now after the uproar had ended, Paul summoned the disciples, took leave of them, and set out for Macedonia.
2 In ko je odšel preko teh krajev in jim dal mnogo spodbude, je prišel v Grčijo
When he had gone through those parts and encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
3 in tam je ostal tri mesece. In ko so Judje prežali nanj, ko je že skoraj odplul v Sirijo, se je namenil vrniti preko Makedonije.
When he had stayed three months, as he was about to set sail for Syria, the Jews made a plot against him, so he decided to return through Macedonia.
4 In v Azijo so ga spremljali Sópater iz Beróje; in iz Tesaloníke Aristarh in Sekúndus; in Gaj iz Derbe in Timótej; in iz Azije Tihik in Trofim.
Now Sopater of Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia were going to accompany him as far as Asia;
5 Ti, ki so šli pred nami, so nas pričakali v Troádi.
so having gone on ahead, these men were waiting for us in Troas.
6 In po dneh nekvašenega kruha smo odjadrali iz Filípov in v petih dneh prišli k tem v Troádo, kjer smo ostali sedem dni.
But it was after the Days of Unleavened Bread that we sailed from Philippi, and in five days we joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
7 In na prvi dan tedna, ko so učenci prišli skupaj k lomljenju kruha, jim je Pavel oznanjal, pripravljen, da jutri odide; in svoj govor nadaljeval do polnoči.
Now on the first day of the week, the disciples being assembled to break bread, Paul started addressing them, and because he intended to leave the next day he continued his message until midnight.
8 V zgornji sobi, kjer so bili skupaj zbrani, pa je bilo mnogo svetilk.
There were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled.
9 In na oknu je sedel nek mladenič, po imenu Evtih, ki je padel v globoko spanje. In medtem ko je Pavel dolgo pridigal, se je pogreznil v spanje in padel dol z [najvišjega], tretjega nadstropja in pobran je bil mrtev.
Well a certain young man named Eutychus sat in a window and was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul kept on talking; when he was overcome by the sleep he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
10 In Pavel je odšel dol, se zgrudil nanj, ga objel ter rekel: »Ne vznemirjajte se, kajti njegovo življenje je v njem.«
So Paul went down, threw himself on him and embracing him said, “Do not be distressed, because his life is in him!”
11 Ko je torej ponovno prišel gor in prelomil kruh in jedel ter še dolgo časa govoril, celó do svita, je tako odšel.
Then he went back up and broke bread, ate, and kept on speaking until daybreak—that is how he left!
12 In mladeniča so privedli živega in bili so ne malo potolaženi.
(On their part, they led the boy away alive, and were greatly comforted.)
13 In šli smo naprej k ladji in odjadrali do Asosa. Tam smo nameravali sprejeti Pavla, kajti tako je določil, ker je nameraval iti peš.
As for us, we went to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there—so it had been arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.
14 In ko se je z nami srečal pri Asosu, smo ga sprejeli in prišli v Mitiléno.
When he met us at Assos we took him aboard and went on to Mityline.
15 In od tam smo odjadrali in naslednji dan prišli nasproti Hiosu. In naslednji dan smo prispeli v Samos in ostali v Trogilu. In naslednji dan smo prišli v Milet.
Sailing from there, the next day we arrived opposite Chios, and the day after we crossed over to Samos and stopped in Trogylium; the following day we came to Miletus.
16 Kajti Pavel se je odločil, da jadra mimo Efeza, ker v Aziji ni želel porabiti časa, kajti hitel je, če bi mu bilo mogoče, da bo na binkoštni dan v Jeruzalemu.
(Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, to avoid being detained in Asia, because he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost, if he possibly could.)
17 In iz Mileta je poslal v Efez in poklical starešine cerkve.
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and summoned the elders of the congregation.
18 In ko so prišli k njemu, jim je rekel: »Od prvega dne, ko sem prišel v Azijo, veste, na kakšen način sem bil z vami v vseh obdobjih
So when they had come to him he said to them: “You yourselves know, from the first day that I arrived in Asia, how I lived the whole time I was with you,
19 in služil Gospodu z vso ponižnostjo mišljenja ter z mnogimi solzami in preizkušnjami, ki so me doletele med prežanjem Judov,
serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, the ones that happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
20 in kako nisem ničesar zamolčal, kar vam je bilo koristno, temveč sem vam pokazal in vas javno učil ter od hiše do hiše
how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
21 pričeval obojim, tako Judom kakor tudi Grkom, kesanje pred Bogom in vero v našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
solemnly proclaiming to both Jews and Greeks the repentance toward God and the faith into our Lord Jesus.
22 In sedaj glejte, grem v Jeruzalem, zvezan v duhu in ne poznam stvari, ki me bodo tam doletele,
Now then, I am going to Jerusalem bound in my spirit, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,
23 razen da Sveti Duh v vsakem mestu pričuje, rekoč, da me čakajo vezi in stiske.
except that the Holy Spirit keeps warning me in every city, saying that fetters and afflictions are just waiting for me.
24 Toda nobena od teh besed me ne gane niti ne cenim svojega življenja dragocenega sebi, tako da bom lahko dokončal svoj tek z radostjo in službo, ki sem jo prejel od Gospoda Jezusa, da pričujem evangelij o Božji milosti.
However none of this moves me, nor do I regard my life as valuable to myself, just so that I may complete my course with joy, even the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly proclaim the Good News of the grace of God.
25 In sedaj glejte, vem, da vi vsi, med katere sem odšel in oznanjal Božje kraljestvo, ne boste več videli mojega obraza.
“Furthermore, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the Kingdom of God will ever see my face again.
26 Zaradi tega vam danes dajem izjavo, da sem čist pred krvjo vseh ljudi.
Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all;
27 Kajti nisem se izogibal, da vam oznanim vso Božjo namero.
because I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28 Zatorej pazite nase in na ves trop, nad katerim vas je Sveti Duh naredil nadzornike, da pasete Božjo cerkev, ki jo je pridobil s svojo lastno krvjo.
So take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as overseers, to shepherd the congregation of the Lord and God which He purchased with His own blood.
29 Kajti vem to, da bodo po mojem odhodu vstopili med vas nadležni volkovi, ki ne bodo prizanašali tropu.
Because I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Prav tako bodo izmed vas vstali možje, ki bodo govorili sprevržene besede, da učence odtegnejo za seboj.
Yes, men will rise up from among you yourselves, speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Torej čujte in se spomnite, da v obdobju treh let, ponoči in podnevi, nisem prenehal s solzami vsakogar svariti.
Therefore be alert, remembering that during three years, night and day, I never stopped admonishing each one, with tears.
32 In sedaj, bratje, vas priporočam Bogu in besedi njegove milosti, ki je zmožna, da vas izgradi in da vam da dediščino med vsemi temi, ki so posvečeni.
“And so now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.
33 Nisem hlepel po nikogaršnjem srebru ali zlatu ali obleki.
I have not coveted anyone's silver or gold or clothing.
34 Da, tudi vi sami veste, da so te roke služile mojim potrebam in tem, ki so bili z menoj.
You yourselves know that these hands have supplied my own needs, and of those who were with me.
35 Pokazal sem vam vse stvari, da moramo s takšnim trudom podpirati slabotne in se spominjati besed Gospoda Jezusa, kako je rekel: ›Bolj blagoslovljeno je dajati kakor prejemati.‹ «
In every way I showed you that working hard like this it is necessary to help the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
36 In ko je tako govoril, je pokleknil in z njimi vsemi molil.
When he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 In vsi so bridko jokali in se oklenili Pavlovega vratu ter ga poljubljali
Then they all wept freely, and falling on Paul's neck kept kissing him,
38 in žalovali predvsem zaradi vseh besed, ki jih je govoril, da naj ne bi več videli njegovega obraza. In pospremili so ga k ladji.
sorrowing most of all because of the word that he had spoken, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
