Apostolska dela 21
1 In pripetilo se je, da potem, ko smo odšli od njih in odrinili, smo z ravno smerjo prispeli na Kos in naslednji dan na Rodos in od tam v Pátaro,
AND tearing ourselves away from them, when we had set sail, we came in a direct course to Coos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
2 in ko smo našli ladjo, ki je jadrala preko do Fenikije, smo se vkrcali in odpotovali.
And finding a ship passing over to Phenice, we went on board and set sail:
3 Torej ko smo odkrili Ciper, smo ga pustili na levi roki in odjadrali v Sirijo ter pristali v Tiru, kajti tam je ladja iztovorila svoj tovor.
and coming in sight of Cyprus, and leaving it on the left, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.
4 In ko smo našli učence, smo tam ostali sedem dni. Ti so Pavlu po Duhu povedali, da naj ne bi šel gor v Jeruzalem.
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: and they said to Paul, by the Spirit, that he should not go up unto Jerusalem.
5 In ko smo te dneve dovršili, smo se odpravili in odšli [po] naši poti. In na našo pot so nas vsi pospremili z ženami in otroki, dokler nismo bili izven mesta, in pokleknili smo na obali ter molili.
But when we had stayed out those days, we departed, and went on our journey, all of them attending us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the sea shore, we joined in prayer;
6 In ko smo se poslovili drug od drugega, smo se odpeljali z ladjo, oni pa so se ponovno vrnili domov.
and embracing one another, we went on ship-board, and they returned to their own homes,
7 In ko smo dokončali naše potovanje iz Tira, smo prišli v Ptolemáido in pozdravili brate in en dan ostali z njimi.
So completing our voyage, we arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and saluting the brethren, tarried with them one day.
8 In naslednji dan smo mi, ki smo bili iz Pavlove skupine, odšli ter prišli v Cezarejo in vstopili v hišo evangelista Filipa, ki je bil eden izmed sedmih; in ostali z njim.
And on the morrow we who were Paul’s companions departed with him, and went to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist (who was one of the seven deacons), we abode with him.
9 In isti mož je imel štiri hčere, device, ki so prerokovale.
Now this man had four maiden daughters endued with the gift of prophecy.
10 In ko smo se tam mudili mnogo dni, je prišel dol iz Judeje nek prerok, po imenu Agab.
And as we tarried there several days, there came down a certain prophet from Judea named Agabus.
11 In ko je prišel k nam, je vzel Pavlov pas ter si zvezal svoje lastne roke in stopala ter rekel: »Tako govori Sveti Duh: ›Tako bodo Judje v Jeruzalemu zvezali moža, ki ima v lasti ta pas in ga izročili v roke poganom.‹«
And coming to us, he took Paul’s girdle, and binding both his own hands and feet together, said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, The man, whose girdle this is, shall the Jews bind in like manner at Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 In ko smo slišali te stvari, smo ga rotili, tako mi kakor tudi tisti iz tega kraja, naj ne hodi gor v Jeruzalem.
Then when we heard these things, both we and all who were in the place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Potem je Pavel odgovoril: »Kaj mislite, da jokate in da mi lomite moje srce? Pripravljen sem ne samo biti zvezan, temveč v Jeruzalemu tudi umreti za ime Gospoda Jezusa.«
But Paul replied, Why do ye thus―weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 In ko ni želel biti pregovorjen, smo prenehali, rekoč: »Zgôdi se Gospodova volja.«
And when he could not be persuaded, we desisted, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 In po teh dneh smo vzeli svojo prtljago in odšli gor v Jeruzalem.
Then after those days, packing up our baggage, we went up to Jerusalem:
16 Z nami so šli tja tudi nekateri učenci iz Cezareje in s seboj so privedli nekega Mnazona iz Cipra, starega učenca, pri katerem naj bi prenočili.
and there went also with us some disciples from Caesarea, bringing one Mnason a Cyprian, an ancient disciple, at whose house we were to lodge.
17 In ko smo prišli v Jeruzalem, so nas bratje veselo sprejeli.
And when we arrived at Jerusalem, the brethren received us with delight.
18 In naslednji dan je Pavel z nami odšel k Jakobu in prisotne so bile vse starešine.
And on the morrow Paul went in with us unto James: and all the presbyters were present.
19 In ko jih je pozdravil, je podrobno pojasnil, kakšne stvari je Bog po njegovi službi storil med pogani.
And after embracing them, he related every particular of the things which God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 In ko so to slišali, so slavili Gospoda in mu rekli: »Vidiš, brat, kako mnogo tisočev Judov je tukaj, ki verujejo, in vsi so goreči za postavo,
And they, when they heard it, glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed; and they are all zealots for the law:
21 o tebi pa so obveščeni, da vse Jude, ki so med pogani, učiš, da zapustijo Mojzesa, rekoč, da jim ni treba obrezati njihovih otrok niti živeti po običajih.
And they have been informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews, who are among the Gentiles, apostacy from Moses, saying, That they should not circumcise the children, nor walk after the usual practices.
22 Kaj je to torej? Množica mora brezpogojno priti skupaj, kajti slišali bodo, da si prišel.
What then is to be done? The multitude must certainly be assembled; for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Pravimo ti, stôri torej tole: ›Imamo štiri može, ki imajo na sebi zaobljubo;
Do this therefore which we say to thee: we have four men, who have a vow upon themselves;
24 vzemi jih in se z njimi očisti in naj bodo tvoji stroški, da si bodo lahko obrili svoje glave, in vsi bodo lahko spoznali, da te stvari, o katerih so bili glede tebe obveščeni, niso nič, temveč da tudi sam živiš redno in se držiš postave.‹
them take with thee, be purified with them, and be at the same expence as they, that they may shave their heads: and all men will know that there is no truth in the things reported of thee, but that thou thyself walkest orderly and observest the law.
25 Kar zadeva pogane, ki verujejo, smo pisali in sklenili, da [naj] ne obeležujejo nobene takšne stvari, razen samo, da se varujejo pred stvarmi darovanim malikom in pred krvjo in pred zadavljenim in pred prešuštvom.«
Concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we have already written, deciding that they should observe no such thing, except that they should guard themselves from idol sacrifices, and blood, and what is strangled, and from whoredom.
26 Tedaj je Pavel vzel može in naslednji dan, ko se je očistil, je z njimi vstopil v tempelj, da naznani dovršitev dni očiščevanja, dokler se ne bi za vsakega izmed njih darovala daritev.
Then Paul took the men, and the following day being purified with them, he entered into the temple, declaring when the days of their purification would be completed, in order whereunto an oblation was to be offered for every one of them.
27 In ko se je sedem dni skoraj dokončalo, so Judje, ki so bili iz Azije, ko so ga zagledali v templju, razvneli vso množico in nanj položili roke
But as the seven days were now drawing to their period, some Jews from Asia seeing him in the temple, excited all the populace to tumult, and laid hands upon him,
28 ter vzklikali: »Možje Izraelci, pomagajte: ›To je človek, ki povsod vse može uči proti ljudem in postavi ter temu kraju, in razen tega je tudi Grke privedel v tempelj in oskrunil ta sveti prostor.‹«
crying out, Men of Israel, help! This is the man, who, by his preaching, sets all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: yea and more still, hath brought Greeks into the temple, and defiled this holy place:
29 (Kajti prej so v mestu videli z njim Efežana Trofima, za katerega so domnevali, da ga je Pavel privedel v tempelj.)
(for they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they imagined that Paul had introduced into the temple.)
30 In vse mesto je bilo razdraženo in ljudje so tekli skupaj in prijeli so Pavla ter ga odvlekli iz templja in nemudoma so bila vrata zaprta.
And the whole city was in motion, and there was a concourse of people assembled: and laying hands on Paul, they dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were shut.
31 In medtem ko so ga poskušali ubiti, so prišle k vrhovnemu poveljniku čete novice, da je bil ves Jeruzalem v vstaji.
And as they were attempting to murder him, the report reached the military tribune of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
32 Ki je takoj vzel vojake in stotnike ter stekel dol k njim. In ko so zagledali vrhovnega poveljnika in vojake, so Pavla prenehali pretepati.
Who instantly taking soldiers and centurions ran down unto them: and when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they left off beating Paul.
33 Tedaj se je približal vrhovni poveljnik in ga prijel ter mu ukazal, naj bo zvezan z dvema verigama in zahteval je kdo je bil in kaj je storil.
Then the tribune approaching him, laid hold on him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and asked who he was, and what he had done.
34 In nekateri so med množico vpili eno stvar, nekateri drugo in ko ni mogel zanesljivo izvedeti gotovosti za hrup, je ukazal, da ga s seboj vzamejo v grad.
Then some among the multitude bellowed out one thing, and some another: so unable to know the certainty of the case because of the tumult, he ordered him to be brought into the fortress.
35 In ko je prišel na stopnice, je bilo tako, da so ga zaradi nasilja množice nesli vojaki.
But when he was on the stairs, it happened that he was borne up by the soldiers, because of the press of the crowd.
36 Kajti množica ljudi je sledila za njimi in kričala: »Proč z njim.«
For a multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him!
37 In ko naj bi bil Pavel odveden v grad, je vrhovnemu poveljniku rekel: »Ti smem spregovoriti?« Ki je rekel: »Znaš govoriti grško?
And when he was just ready to be carried into the fortress, Paul said to the military tribune, May I be permitted to speak a word to thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
38 Ali nisi ti tisti Egipčan, ki je pred temi dnevi naredil vstajo in v divjino odvedel štiri tisoč mož, ki so bili morilci?«
Art not thou certainly that Egyptian who some time since raised a sedition, and led out into the desert four thousand cutthroats?
39 Vendar je Pavel rekel: »Jaz sem človek, ki sem Jud iz Tarza, mesta v Kilikiji, meščan ne nepomembnega mesta, in rotim te, dovoli mi, da spregovorim ljudem.«
But Paul replied, I am indeed a Jew, a man of Tarsus, of Cilicia, a citizen of no contemptible city: and, I entreat thee, permit me to speak to the people.
40 In ko mu je dal dovoljenje, je Pavel stal na stopnicah in z roko dal znamenje ljudem. In ko je nastala velika tišina, jim je spregovoril v hebrejskem jeziku, rekoč:
So having his permission, Paul standing on the stairs, waved his hand to the people. And profound silence being obtained, he spake to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
