Apostolska dela 24
1 Po petih dneh pa je prišel dol Hananija, véliki duhovnik, s starešinami in z nekim govornikom po imenu Tertúl, ki je voditelja poučil zoper Pavla.
And after five days, the high priest, Ananias, came with certain of the rulers, and an expert talker, one Tertullus; and they made a statement to Felix against Paul.
2 In ko je bil le-ta poklican, ga je Tertúl začel obtoževati, rekoč: »Glede na to, da po tebi uživamo veliko spokojnost in da so po tvoji previdnosti temu narodu storjena zelo plemenita dejanja,
And when he had been sent for, Tertullus, starting his statement, said, Because by you we are living in peace, and through your wisdom wrongs are put right for this nation,
3 to priznavamo vedno in na vseh krajih, najplemenitejši Feliks, z vso hvaležnostjo.
In all things and in all places we are conscious of our great debt to you, most noble Felix.
4 Vendar da te ne bom še bolj zadrževal, te prosim, da nam po svoji dobrotljivosti prisluhneš nekaj besed.
But, so that I may not make you tired, I make a request to you of your mercy, to give hearing to a short statement.
5 Kajti tega človeka smo spoznali [za] kužnega in povzročitelja upora med vsemi Judi po vsem svetu in kolovodja ločine Nazarečanov,
For this man, in our opinion, is a cause of trouble, a maker of attacks on the government among Jews through all the empire, and a chief mover in the society of the Nazarenes:
6 ki je poskušal oskruniti tudi tempelj; ki smo prijeli in hoteli soditi glede na našo postavo.
Who, in addition, was attempting to make the Temple unclean: whom we took,
7 Vendar je nad nas prišel vrhovni poveljnik Lizija in ga z veliko silo odvedel iz naših rok
8 in njegovim tožnikom velel, da pridejo k tebi; s čigar zasliševanjem si boš lahko pridobil spoznanje o vseh teh stvareh, česar ga obtožujemo.«
And from whom you will be able, by questioning him yourself, to get knowledge of all the things which we say against him.
9 In tudi Judje so soglašali, rekoč, da so bile te stvari takšne.
And the Jews were in agreement with his statement, saying that these things were so.
10 Nató je Pavel, potem ko mu je voditelj dal znamenje, da govori, odgovoril: »Ker vem, da si bil že mnogo let sodnik temu narodu, se še bolj vedro zagovarjam,
Then when the ruler had given him a sign to make his answer, Paul said, Because I have knowledge that you have been a judge over this nation for a number of years, I am glad to make my answer:
11 zato, da boš lahko razumel, da je šele dvanajst dni, odkar sem odšel gor v Jeruzalem, da bi oboževal.
Seeing that you are able to make certain of the fact that it is not more than twelve days from the time when I came up to Jerusalem for worship;
12 In niti me niso našli v templju razpravljati s katerimkoli človekom niti podpihovati množice, ne v sinagogah ne v mestu.
And they have not seen me in argument with any man in the Temple, or working up the feelings of the people, in the Synagogues or in the town:
13 Niti ne morejo dokazati besed, s katerimi me sedaj obtožujejo.
And they are not able to give facts in support of the things which they say against me now.
14 Toda to ti priznam, da po poti, ki ji pravijo kriva vera, na ta način obožujem Boga svojih očetov in verujem vse stvari, ki so zapisane v postavi in prerokih,
But this I will say openly to you, that I do give worship to the God of our fathers after that Way, which to them is not the true religion: but I have belief in all the things which are in the law and in the books of the prophets:
15 in upanje imam v Boga, ki ga tudi sami dopuščajo, da bo vstajenje mrtvih, tako pravičnih kakor nepravičnih.
Hoping in God for that which they themselves are looking for, that there will be a coming back from the dead for upright men and wrongdoers.
16 In v tem sebe vežbam, da imam vest nenehno povsem brez prestopka pred Bogom in pred ljudmi.
And in this, I do my best at all times to have no reason for shame before God or men.
17 Torej po mnogih letih sem prišel, da svojemu narodu prinesem miloščine in daritve.
Now after a number of years I came to give help and offerings to my nation:
18 Nakar so me neki Judje iz Azije našli v templju očiščenega, niti skupaj z množico niti s hrupom.
And having been made clean, I was in the Temple, but not with a great number of people, and not with noise: but there were certain Jews from Asia,
19 Ki bi morali biti tukaj pred teboj in ugovarjati, če bi imeli karkoli zoper mene.
And it would have been better if they had come here to make a statement, if they have anything against me.
20 Sicer naj ti isti tukaj povedo, če so našli na meni kakršnokoli zlo dejanje, medtem ko sem stal pred vélikim zborom,
Or let these men here present say what wrongdoing was seen in me when I was before the Sanhedrin,
21 razen, če je to zaradi tistega enega glasu, ko sem med njimi stal in vzkliknil: ›Gledé vstajenja mrtvih ste me danes poklicali na zaslišanje.‹«
But only this one thing which I said among them in a loud voice, I am this day being judged on the question of the coming back from the dead.
22 In ko je Feliks, ki je imel popolnejše spoznanje o tej poti, slišal te besede, jih je preložil ter rekel: »Ko bo prišel dol vrhovni poveljnik Lizija, bom spoznal vse o vaši zadevi.«
But Felix, who had a more detailed knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, When Lysias, the chief captain, comes down, I will give attention to your business.
23 In stotniku je ukazal, da varuje Pavla in mu pusti imeti prostost in da naj nikomur od njegovih znancev ne bi prepovedal streči ali priti k njemu.
And he gave orders to the captain to keep Paul under his control, and to let him have everything he had need of; and not to keep his friends from coming to see him.
24 In po nekaj dneh, ko je prišel Feliks s svojo ženo Druzílo, ki je bila Judinja, je poklical Pavla in ga poslušal glede vere v Kristusa.
But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was of the Jews by birth, and sent for Paul, and gave hearing to him about faith in Christ Jesus.
25 In ko je razpravljal o pravičnosti, zmernosti in sodbi, ki pride, je Feliks zatrepetal in odgovoril: »Za sedaj pojdi svojo pot. Ko bom imel primeren čas, te bom poklical.«
And while he was talking about righteousness and self-control and the judging which was to come, Felix had great fear and said, Go away for the present, and when the right time comes I will send for you.
26 Upal je tudi, da bi mu bil od Pavla dan denar, da bi ga lahko osvobodil, zaradi česar ga je pogosteje poklical in se posvetoval z njim.
For he was hoping that Paul would give him money: so he sent for him more frequently and had talk with him.
27 Toda po dveh letih pa je na Feliksovo mesto prišel Porkij Fest. Feliks pa, voljan ustreči Judom, je Pavla pustil zvezanega.
But after two years Porcius Festus took the place of Felix, who, desiring to have the approval of the Jews, kept Paul in chains.
