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.
SO after five days Ananias the high-priest went down with the elders, and a certain rhetorician, Tertullus, who made their appearance before the governor 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 he being summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Since by thee we enjoy so much peace, and such noble acts are happily performed for this nation by thy provident administration,
3 to priznavamo vedno in na vseh krajih, najplemenitejši Feliks, z vso hvaležnostjo.
always and in all places we acknowledge it, most excellent Felix, with all gratitude.
4 Vendar da te ne bom še bolj zadrževal, te prosim, da nam po svoji dobrotljivosti prisluhneš nekaj besed.
Now that I may not be unnecessarily tedious to thee, I entreat thee to hear us briefly with thy wonted candour.
5 Kajti tega človeka smo spoznali [za] kužnega in povzročitelja upora med vsemi Judi po vsem svetu in kolovodja ločine Nazarečanov,
For we found this fellow a pest to society, and exciting sedition among all the Jews throughout the whole world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazareans:
6 ki je poskušal oskruniti tudi tempelj; ki smo prijeli in hoteli soditi glede na našo postavo.
who even attempted to profane the temple: we seized him therefore, and intended to judge him according to our own law.
7 Vendar je nad nas prišel vrhovni poveljnik Lizija in ga z veliko silo odvedel iz naših rok
But Lysias the tribune came, and with great violence took him out of our hands,
8 in njegovim tožnikom velel, da pridejo k tebi; s čigar zasliševanjem si boš lahko pridobil spoznanje o vseh teh stvareh, česar ga obtožujemo.«
commanding his accusers to appear before thee: whereby thou mayest thyself be able after examination to know the certainty of those things whereof we accuse him.
9 In tudi Judje so soglašali, rekoč, da so bile te stvari takšne.
Then the Jews also joined in affirming, 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,
But Paul (the governor having made him a sign to speak) replied, Knowing that for so many years thou hast been the judge of this nation, I with the more confidence offer my defence respecting the matters which concern me:
11 zato, da boš lahko razumel, da je šele dvanajst dni, odkar sem odšel gor v Jeruzalem, da bi oboževal.
as thou mayest be ascertained, that it is not more than twelve days ago since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
12 In niti me niso našli v templju razpravljati s katerimkoli človekom niti podpihovati množice, ne v sinagogah ne v mestu.
And neither in the temple found they me disputing with any man, nor raising any sedition among the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 Niti ne morejo dokazati besed, s katerimi me sedaj obtožujejo.
neither can they produce any proof of the facts of which they accuse me.
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 confess to thee, that after the way which they call a sect, so worship I the God of our ancestors, believing all things that are written in the law, and in the prophets:
15 in upanje imam v Boga, ki ga tudi sami dopuščajo, da bo vstajenje mrtvih, tako pravičnih kakor nepravičnih.
and having hope in God, the same which they also profess to look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust.
16 In v tem sebe vežbam, da imam vest nenehno povsem brez prestopka pred Bogom in pred ljudmi.
For this cause indeed I exert my utmost care to keep my conscience ever unoffending towards God and towards man.
17 Torej po mnogih letih sem prišel, da svojemu narodu prinesem miloščine in daritve.
Now after many years absence I was returned bringing alms to my countrymen, and oblations to the temple.
18 Nakar so me neki Judje iz Azije našli v templju očiščenega, niti skupaj z množico niti s hrupom.
In the discharge of which offices certain Jews of Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with a multitude, nor with any tumult.
19 Ki bi morali biti tukaj pred teboj in ugovarjati, če bi imeli karkoli zoper mene.
Who ought to have appeared before thee, and prefer their accusation, if they had any thing 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 the persons themselves here present say, if they found any thing criminal in me, when I stood before the sanhedrim,
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.‹«
except for this one sentence, which I uttered aloud when I was standing among them, For the resurrection of the dead am I this day judged by you.
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.«
When Felix then heard these things he put them off, (for he knew very exactly all that related to that way, ) saying, When Lysias the tribune is come down, I will inquire thoroughly into the matters between you.
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 commanded the centurion that Paul should be safe kept, yet have no close confinement, and not to hinder any of his friends from supplying his wants, or visiting 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.
Now after some days, Felix returning with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
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 as he discoursed of righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment which is ready to be revealed, Felix being greatly terrified, replied, Go, for the present, I will some time hence take another opportunity of calling for thee.
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.
Indeed he had also entertained hope that money would be given him by Paul, in order to release him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and conversed 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 when two years were ended, Felix had Portius Festus appointed for his successor: and willing to curry favour with the Jews, Felix left Paul in chains.
