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.
After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, took leave of them, and departed to go into 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 had 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 spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined 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.
He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus of Beroea; Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; Gaius of Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
5 Ti, ki so šli pred nami, so nas pričakali v Troádi.
But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at 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.
We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, 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.
On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and continued his speech until midnight.
8 V zgornji sobi, kjer so bili skupaj zbrani, pa je bilo mnogo svetilk.
There were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together.
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.
A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.
10 In Pavel je odšel dol, se zgrudil nanj, ga objel ter rekel: »Ne vznemirjajte se, kajti njegovo življenje je v njem.«
Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Do not be troubled, for 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.
When he had gone up, and had broken bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.
12 In mladeniča so privedli živega in bili so ne malo potolaženi.
They brought the boy in 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.
But we who went ahead to the ship set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.
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 came to Mitylene.
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, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we landed at Samos, and the day after 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.
For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 In iz Mileta je poslal v Efez in poklical starešine cerkve.
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself the elders of the church.
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
When they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,
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, with many tears, and with trials which 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 hold back from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and 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.
testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
22 In sedaj glejte, grem v Jeruzalem, zvezan v duhu in ne poznam stvari, ki me bodo tam doletele,
And now, look, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what 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 testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait 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.
But I make my life an account of nothing precious to myself, so that I may finish my race, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to 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.
"And now, look, I know that you all, among whom I went about proclaiming the Kingdom, will see my face no more.
26 Zaradi tega vam danes dajem izjavo, da sem čist pred krvjo vseh ljudi.
Therefore I testify to you today that I am innocent of everyone's blood,
27 Kajti nisem se izogibal, da vam oznanim vso Božjo namero.
for I did not hold back from declaring to you the whole plan 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.
Watch out for yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of 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.
For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter 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.
Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse 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 watch, remembering that for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish everyone night and day 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.
Now I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33 Nisem hlepel po nikogaršnjem srebru ali zlatu ali obleki.
I coveted no one'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 served my necessities, and 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 all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words 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 spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 In vsi so bridko jokali in se oklenili Pavlovega vratu ter ga poljubljali
They all wept a lot, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed 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 which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
