Apostolska dela 28
1 In ko so bili rešeni, so potem izvedeli, da se otok imenuje Malta.
Our lives having been thus preserved, we discovered that the island was called Malta.
2 In barbarsko ljudstvo nam je pokazalo ne malo prijaznosti, kajti prižgali so ogenj in nas zaradi navzočega dežja in zaradi mraza, vse sprejeli.
The strange-speaking natives showed us remarkable kindness, for they lighted a fire and made us all welcome because of the pelting rain and the cold.
3 In ko je Pavel nabral sveženj vej in jih položil na ogenj, je zaradi vročine ven prišel gad in se oprijel njegove roke.
Now, when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and had thrown them on the fire, a viper, driven by the heat, came out and fastened itself on his hand.
4 In ko so barbari videli strupeno žival viseti na njegovi roki, so med seboj govorili: »Brez dvoma je ta človek morilec, čeprav je ušel morju, ki mu maščevanje vendar ne pusti živeti.«
When the natives saw the creature hanging to his hand, they said to one another, "Beyond doubt this man is a murderer, for, though saved from the sea, unerring Justice does not permit him to live."
5 On pa je žival otresel v ogenj in ni čutil nobene škode.
He, however, shook the reptile off into the fire and was unhurt.
6 Vendar so gledali, ko naj bi imel oteklino ali nenadoma padel mrtev. Toda potem, ko so dolgo časa gledali in so videli, da se mu ni zgodilo nič hudega, so spremenili svoja mišljenja in rekli, da je bil bog.
They expected him soon to swell with inflammation or suddenly fall down dead; but, after waiting a long time and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
7 V istih četrtih so bile posesti vodilnega moža otoka, katerega ime je bilo Publij, ki nas je sprejel in nas tri dni prijazno prenočeval.
Now in the same part of the island there were estates belonging to the Governor, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us to his house, and for three days generously made us his guests.
8 Pripetilo pa se je, da je Publijev oče ležal bolan zaradi vročice in zaradi krvave griže; h kateremu je vstopil Pavel in molil ter položil svoji roki nanj in ga ozdravil.
It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.
9 Torej ko se je to zgodilo, so prišli tudi drugi, ki so na otoku imeli bolezni in so bili ozdravljeni,
After this, all the other sick people in the island came and were cured.
10 ki so nas prav tako počastili z mnogimi častmi. In ko smo odšli, so nas obložili s takšnimi stvarmi, kot je bilo potrebno.
They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.
11 In po treh mesecih smo se vkrcali na ladjo iz Aleksandrije, ki je prezimila na otoku, katere znamenje sta bila Kastor in Poluks.
Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the 'Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.
12 In ko smo se izkrcali v Sirakuzi, smo se tam mudili tri dni.
At Syracuse we put in and stayed for two days.
13 In od tam smo šli po ovinkih ter prišli v Région. In po enem dnevu je zapihal južni veter in naslednji dan smo prišli v Putéole,
From there we came round and reached Rhegium; and a day later, a south wind sprang up which brought us by the evening of the next day to Puteoli.
14 kjer smo našli brate in želeli so, da ostanemo z njimi sedem dni; in tako smo odšli proti Rimu.
Here we found brethren, who invited us to remain with them for a week; and so we reached Rome.
15 In ko so bratje slišali o nas, so prišli od tam, da nas srečajo, prav do Apijevega trga in Treh Tavern. Ko jih je Pavel zagledal, se je zahvalil Bogu in se opogumil.
Meanwhile the brethren there, hearing of our movements, came as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Huts to meet us; and when Paul saw them he thanked God and felt encouraged.
16 In ko smo prišli v Rim, je stotnik jetnike izročil poveljniku straže, toda Pavlu je bilo dovoljeno, da prebiva sam zase z vojakom, ki ga je varoval.
Upon our arrival in Rome, Paul received permission to live by himself, guarded by a soldier.
17 In pripetilo se je, da je po treh dneh Pavel sklical skupaj judovske voditelje in ko so prišli skupaj, jim je rekel: »Možje in bratje, čeprav nisem ničesar zagrešil proti ljudem ali običajem naših očetov, sem bil vendarle jetnik, iz Jeruzalema izročen v roke Rimljanom.
After one complete day he invited the leading men among the Jews to meet him; and, when they were come together, he said to them, "As for me, brethren, although I had done nothing prejudicial to our people or contrary to the customs of our forefathers, I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the power of the Romans.
18 Ki so me po zaslišanju hoteli izpustiti, ker na meni ni bilo razloga za smrt.
They, after they had sharply questioned me, were willing to set me at liberty, because they found no offence in me for which I deserve to die.
19 Toda ko so Judje temu ugovarjali, sem se bil primoran sklicevati na cesarja, ne da bi moral obtoževati svoj narod.
But, at last, the opposition of the Jews compelled me to appeal to Caesar; not however that I had any charge to bring against my nation.
20 Zaradi tega razloga sem vas torej dal poklicati, da vas vidim in spregovorim z vami, zato ker sem s to verigo zvezan zaradi Izraelovega upanja.«
For these reasons, then, I have invited you here, that I might see you and speak to you; for it is for the sake of Him who is the hope of Israel that this chain hangs upon me."
21 In rekli so mu: »Glede tebe nismo prejeli niti pisem iz Judeje niti nobeden izmed bratov, ki je prišel, [te] ni naznanil ali škodljivo govoril o tebi.
"For our part," they replied, "we have not received any letters from Judaea about you, nor have any of our countrymen come here and reported or stated anything to your disadvantage.
22 Toda od tebe želimo slišati, kaj misliš; kajti glede te ločine vemo, da ji povsod ugovarjajo.«
But we should be glad to hear from you what it is that you believe; for as for this sect all we know is that it is everywhere spoken against."
23 In ko so mu določili dan, so mnogi prišli k njemu v njegovo stanovanje; katerim je od jutra do večera pojasnjeval in dokazoval Božje kraljestvo, jih prepričeval glede Jezusa, tako iz Mojzesove postave kakor iz prerokov.
So they arranged a day with him and came to him in considerable numbers at the house of the friends who were entertaining him. And then, with solemn earnestness, he explained to them the subject of the Kingdom of God, endeavouring from morning till evening to convince them about Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
24 In nekateri so verjeli besedam, ki so bile govorjene, nekateri pa niso verjeli.
Some were convinced; others refused to believe.
25 In ko se med seboj niso strinjali, so odšli, po tem, ko je Pavel spregovoril eno besedo: »Dobro je Sveti Duh govoril našim očetom po preroku Izaiju,
Unable to agree among themselves, they at last left him, but not before Paul had spoken a parting word to them, saying, "Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your forefathers through the Prophet Isaiah:
26 rekoč: ›Pojdi k tem ljudem in reci: ›S poslušanjem boste slišali, pa ne boste razumeli; in z gledanjem boste videli, pa ne zaznali;
"'Go to this people and tell them, you will hear and hear, and by no means understand; and will look and look, and by no means see.
27 kajti srce teh ljudi je otopelo in njihova ušesa so naglušna in svoje oči so zaprli, da ne bi videli s svojimi očmi in [da ne bi] slišali s svojimi ušesi in [da ne bi] razumeli s svojim srcem in [da ne bi] bili spreobrnjeni in [bi] jih jaz ozdravil.‹‹
For this people's mind has grown callous, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might cure them.'
28 Bodi vam torej znano, da je Božja rešitev duš poslana k poganom in da jo bodo poslušali.«
"Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation--God's salvation--has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed."
29 In ko je rekel te besede, so Judje odšli in med seboj imeli veliko razpravljanja.
30 In Pavel je celi dve leti prebival v lastni najeti hiši in sprejemal vse, ki so prihajali k njemu
After this Paul lived for fully two years in a hired house of his own, receiving all who came to see him.
31 ter z vso samozavestjo oznanjal Božje kraljestvo in učil te stvari, ki se tičejo Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in noben človek mu ni branil.
He announced the coming of the Kingdom of God, and taught concerning the Lord Jesus Christ without let or hindrance.
