Apostolska dela 4
1 In medtem ko sta govorila ljudem, so nadnju prišli duhovniki in tempeljski stotnik ter saduceji,
[Meanwhile, in the temple courtyard, there were some] priests, the officer who was in charge of the temple police, and [also some] [SYN] Sadducee [sect members]. These men came to Peter and John while the two of them were speaking to the people.
2 ki so bili užaloščeni, da sta učila ljudi in oznanjala vstajenje od mrtvih po Jezusu.
These men were very angry, because the [two] apostles were teaching the people [about Jesus]. What they were telling the people was that because ([God caused Jesus to become alive again/God raised] Jesus [from the dead]), [God] would cause other people who had died to become alive again.
3 In nanju so položili roke ter ju zadržali do naslednjega dne, kajti sedaj je bil večer.
So those officials seized Peter and John. Then they put them in jail. [They had to wait] until the next day [to question Peter and John], because it was already evening [and it was contrary to their Jewish law to question people at night].
4 Vendar so mnogi izmed teh, ki so slišali besedo, verovali; in število ljudi je bilo okoli pet tisoč.
However, many people who had heard the message [from Peter] believed [in Jesus]. (OR, But many people had [already] believed [in Jesus, because] they had heard the message [from Peter].) So the number of men [who believed in Jesus] increased to about five 5,000.
5 In pripetilo se je naslednji dan, da so se njihovi vladarji in starešine in pisarji
The next day [the supreme priest summoned] the [other] chief priests, the teachers of the [Jewish] laws, and the other members [of the Jewish Council, and they] gathered together [in one place] in Jerusalem.
6 in Hana, véliki duhovnik in Kajfa in Janez in Aleksander in kolikor jih je bilo iz sorodstva vélikega duhovnika, skupaj zbrali v Jeruzalemu.
Annas, [the former] supreme priest, Caiaphas [who was the new supreme priest], [two other former supreme priests whose names were] John and Alexander, and other men who were related to the supreme priest [were there].
7 In ko so ju postavili medse, so vprašali: »S kakšno močjo ali s čigavim imenom sta to naredila?«
They [commanded guards to] bring Peter and John into the courtroom [MTY] and have them stand in front of them. [Then one of] the leaders questioned [the two of] them, saying, “Who [do you two claim] gave you the power [to heal this man]? And who authorized [MTY] you to do this [DOU]?”
8 Tedaj jim je Peter, izpolnjen s Svetim Duhom, rekel: »Vi vladarji ljudi in starešine v Izraelu,
So as the Holy Spirit completely controlled Peter, he said to them, “You [fellow Israelites] who rule us and [all of you other] elders, [listen]!
9 če sva ta dan zasliševana o dobrem delu, storjenem nemočnemu človeku, na kakšen način je bil on ozdravljen;
Today you are questioning us concerning our doing something good for a man who was crippled, and you asked us how he was healed.
10 bodi znano vam vsem in vsem ljudem v Izraelu, da v imenu Jezusa Kristusa iz Nazareta, ki ste ga križali, ki ga je Bog obudil od mrtvih, celó po njem ta človek sedaj tukaj pred vami stoji ozdravljen.
So [we(exc) want] you and all [of our other] fellow Israelites to know this: It is because Jesus the Messiah [MTY] from Nazareth healed this man that he is able to stand here. [God considers that] it was you who nailed Jesus to a cross, but God caused him to become alive again.
11 To je kamen, ki je bil zaničevan od vas graditeljev, ki je postal glava vogalu.
[In the Psalms this was written about the Messiah: ] He is [like] [MET] the stone that was rejected by the builders {that the builders rejected}. But that stone became the most important stone in the building [that they were building]. [Jesus is that stone, and] you [are those builders who threw away the stone that was the most important one].
12 Niti ni rešitve duš v nikomer drugem, kajti pod nebom med ljudmi ni dano drugega imena, s katerim moremo biti rešeni.«
So he alone can save us [MTY]. [God] has sent only one person [MTY] into the world who can save us [from the guilt of our sins, and that person is Jesus]!”
13 Torej ko so videli Petrov in Janezov pogum ter zaznali, da sta bila neizobražena in nepoučena človeka, so se čudili; in o njiju so spoznali, da sta bila z Jezusom.
The [Jewish leaders] realized that Peter and John (were not afraid [of them]/spoke boldly). They also learned that the two men were ordinary people who had not studied in schools. So the leaders were amazed, and they realized that these men had associated with Jesus.
14 In ko so gledali moža, ki je bil ozdravljen, stati z njimi, proti temu niso mogli reči ničesar.
They also saw the man who had been healed standing there with [the two of] them, so they were not able to say anything [to oppose Peter and John].
15 Toda ko so jima zapovedali, da se odstranita od vélikega zbora, so se med seboj posvetovali,
So the [Jewish leaders] commanded [guards] to take Peter, John, and the man outside of the room [where those leaders were meeting. After they did so], the leaders talked with each other [about Peter and John].
16 rekoč: »Kaj naj storimo tema možema? Kajti ta zares opazen čudež, storjen po njima, je očiten vsem tistim, ki prebivajo v Jeruzalemu; in tega ne moremo zanikati.
[Being frustrated, one after another], they said, “(There is really nothing that we can do to [punish] these [two] men!/How can we [(inc)] do anything to [punish] these [two] men?) [RHQ] Almost everyone [HYP] who is living in Jerusalem knows that they have done an amazing miracle, so we cannot tell people that it did not happen!
17 Toda da se to ne razširi naprej med ljudmi, jima strogo zagrozimo, da odslej nobenemu človeku ne govorita v tem imenu.«
However, [we] must not allow other people to hear about [this miracle]. So we must tell these men that [we will punish them if they] continue to tell other people about this [MTY] man [who they say gave them the power to do it].”
18 In poklicali so ju ter jima zapovedali sploh ne govoriti niti učiti v Jezusovem imenu.
So the Jewish leaders [commanded guards] to bring the two apostles [into that room again. After they did so], they [commanded] them both that they should never speak about Jesus, and they should not teach [anyone about him] [MTY] [again].
19 Toda Peter in Janez sta odgovorila in jim rekla: »Sami presodite, ali je v Božjih očeh bolj pravilno poslušati vas kakor Boga.
But Peter and John replied, “Would God think that it is right [for us two] to obey you and not [to obey] him? [We(exc) will let] you decide [which of those you think is proper].
20 Kajti midva ne moreva, da ne bi govorila stvari, ki sva jih videla in slišala.«
[But as for us, we cannot obey you]. We will not stop telling people about the things that we [(exc)] have seen [Jesus do] and what we have heard [him teach].”
21 Torej ko so jima še naprej grozili, so ju izpustili zaradi ljudi, ker niso našli ničesar, da bi ju lahko kaznovali, kajti vsi ljudje so slavili Boga za to, kar je bilo storjeno.
Then the [Jewish leaders] again told [Peter and John] not to disobey them. But all the people [there] were praising God about what had happened [to the lame man. The leaders knew that only God could have enabled Peter and John] to miraculously heal the man, because the man was more than 40 years old [and he was lame when his mother bore him. They also knew that the people would become angry if they punished the two apostles]. So, because they could not decide how to punish Peter and John, [they finally] let them go.
22 Kajti mož, na katerem se je prikazal ta čudež ozdravljenja, je bil star več kot štirideset let.
23 In ko sta bila izpuščena, sta odšla k svoji lastni druščini ter poročala o vsem, kar so jima visoki duhovniki in starešine rekli.
After Peter and John had been released, they went to the other believers and reported all that the chief priests and [other Jewish] elders had said to them.
24 In ko so oni to slišali, so svoje glasove soglasno povzdignili k Bogu ter rekli: »Gospod, ti si Bog, ki je naredil nebo in zemljo in morje ter vse, kar je v njih,
When they heard that, they [all] agreed as they prayed to God, and [one of] them prayed, “O Lord! You [(sg)] made the sky, the earth and the oceans, and everything in them.
25 ki si po ustih svojega služabnika Davida rekel: ›Zakaj besnijo pogani in si ljudje domišljajo prazne stvari?
The Holy Spirit caused our ancestor, [King] David [MTY], who served you, to write these words: [It is ridiculous] [RHQ] that the non-Jews became angry and the Israelite people planned uselessly [to oppose God].
26 Kralji zemlje so vstali in vladarji so bili skupaj zbrani zoper Gospoda in zoper njegovega Kristusa.‹
The kings of the world prepared to fight [God’s Ruler], and the [other] rulers assembled together [with them] to oppose the Lord [God] and the one whom he had appointed [to be the Messiah].
27 Kajti resnično so se proti tvojemu svetemu otroku Jezusu, ki si ga ti mazilil, skupaj zbrali tako Herod kakor Poncij Pilat s pogani in Izraelovi ljudje,
[Lord, we know that what you(sg) said long ago was true], because [King] Herod and the [governor], Pontius Pilate, and many other people, both non-Jews and Israelites, assembled together [here] in this city. [They] planned [to kill] Jesus, who devotedly served you [and] whom you appointed [MTY] [to be the Messiah].
28 da storijo, karkoli je tvoja roka in tvoja namera poprej določila, da se stori.
[Because] you [(sg)] are all-powerful, those people did [only] what you [SYN] allowed [them to do]. It was what you decided long ago would happen.”
29 In sedaj, Gospod, glej njihove grožnje in zagotovi svojim služabnikom, da bodo lahko z vsem pogumom govorili tvojo besedo,
“So now, Lord, listen to what they are saying about punishing us! Help us who serve you [(sg)] to very boldly speak messages from you [(sg) about Jesus]
30 z iztegnitvijo svoje roke, da ozdravlja; in da bodo znamenja in čudeži lahko storjeni z imenom tvojega svetega otroka Jezusa.«
[Also], by your power [MTY] miraculously heal [sick people] and do other amazing miracles [SYN] that show people your power! Ask Jesus, who always serves you, [to give us the authority] [MTY] [to do such miracles]!”
31 In ko so molili, se je zatresel kraj, kjer so bili skupaj zbrani; in vsi so bili izpolnjeni s Svetim Duhom in s pogumom so govorili Božjo besedo.
When the believers had finished praying, the place where they were meeting shook. All of them were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of them}, with the result that they began to speak boldly the words that God [told them to speak].
32 Množica teh, ki so verovali, pa je bila enega srca in ene duše; niti nobeden izmed njih ni rekel, da je bilo karkoli od stvari, ki jih je imel v lasti, njegovo, temveč so vse stvari imeli skupne.
The group of people who had believed [in Jesus] were completely agreed about what they thought and what they wanted/desired. Not one of them claimed that he [alone] owned anything. Instead, they shared with one another everything that they had.
33 Apostoli pa so z veliko močjo podajali pričevanje o vstajenju Gospoda Jezusa, in nad njimi vsemi je bila velika milost.
The apostles continued to tell others, very powerfully, [that God] had (caused the Lord Jesus to become alive again/raised the Lord Jesus from the dead). [People knew that God] was graciously helping all the believers.
34 Niti ni bilo med njimi nikogar, ki bi trpel pomanjkanje, kajti kolikor jih je bilo lastnikov zemljišč ali hiš, so jih prodali in prinesli vrednost stvari, ki so bile prodane
[Some of] the believers who owned land or houses would occasionally sell [some of] their property. Then they would bring [the money for what they sold]
35 in jih polagali k stopalom apostolov in narejena je bila porazdelitev vsakemu človeku glede na njegovo potrebo.
and they would present it to the apostles [MTY]. Then [the apostles] would give money to any [believer] who needed [it]. So no one among the believers was lacking anything.
36 In Jožef, ki je bil po apostolih imenovan z vzdevkom Barnaba (kar je prevedeno: ›Sin tolažbe‹), Lévijevec in iz dežele Cipra,
[For example, there was] Joseph. [He was] a descendant of Levi [and he was born] on Cyprus [Island]. The apostles called him Barnabas; [in the Jewish language] that name means a person who [IDM] always encourages [others].
37 je imel zemljo, jo prodal in prinesel denar ter ga položil k stopalom apostolov.
He sold one of his fields, and brought the money to the apostles [for them to distribute to other believers].
