Apostolska dela 9
1 Savel pa, ki je še vedno izdihoval grožnje in poboj zoper Gospodove učence, je odšel k vélikemu duhovniku
But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 in si od njega izprosil pisem za shodnice v Damasku, da če najde kogarkoli od te poti, bodisi moške ali ženske, bi jih lahko zvezane privedel v Jeruzalem.
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Medtem ko je potoval, se je približal Damasku in nenadoma je naokoli njega zasvetila svetloba iz nebes
As he travelled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4 in padel je na tla ter zaslišal glas, ki mu je rekel: »Savel, Savel, zakaj me preganjaš?«
He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5 On pa je rekel: »Kdo si ti, Gospod?« In Gospod je rekel: »Jaz sem Jezus, ki ga ti preganjaš. Zate je to težko, da se upiraš bodicam.«
He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
6 In ta je trepetajoč in osupel rekel: »Gospod, kaj hočeš, da storim?« In Gospod mu je rekel: »Vstani in pojdi v mesto in povedano ti bo, kaj moraš storiti.«
But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
7 Možje, ki so potovali z njim, pa so stali brez besed, ker so poslušali glas, vendar niso videli nobenega človeka.
The men who travelled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
8 In Savel se je dvignil s tal in ko so bile njegove oči odprte, ni videl nobenega človeka, ampak so ga vodili za roko in ga privedli v Damask.
Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
9 In tri dni je bil brez vida in ni ne jedel, ne pil.
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10 V Damasku pa je bil nek učenec, po imenu Hananija in njemu je Gospod v videnju rekel: »Hananija.« In ta je rekel: »Glej, jaz sem tu, Gospod.«
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
11 In Gospod mu je rekel: »Vstani in pojdi v ulico, ki se imenuje Ravna in v Judovi hiši povprašaj za nekoga, ki se imenuje Savel iz Tarza; kajti glej, on moli
The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
12 in v videnju je videl moža, imenovanega Hananija, ki je vstopil in nanj položil svojo roko, da bi lahko prejel svoj vid.«
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
13 Potem je Hananija odgovoril: »Gospod, od mnogih sem slišal o tem človeku, koliko zla je storil tvojim svetim v Jeruzalemu
But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
14 in tukaj ima od visokih duhovnikov oblast, da zveže vse, ki kličejo tvoje ime.«
Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
15 Toda Gospod mu je rekel: »Odpravi se, kajti on mi je izbrana posoda, da ponese moje ime pred pogane in kralje in Izraelove otroke,
But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 kajti pokazal mu bom, kako velike stvari mora trpeti zaradi mojega imena.«
For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
17 In Hananija je odšel svojo pot ter vstopil v hišo in ko je svoje roke položil nanj, je rekel: »Brat Savel, Gospod, celó Jezus, ki se ti je prikazal na poti, ko si prihajal, me je poslal, da lahko prejmeš svoj vid in izpolnjen boš s Svetim Duhom.«
Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 In takoj so z njegovih oči padle, kot bi bile luskine, in nemudoma je prejel vid in vstal ter bil krščen.
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptised.
19 In ko je prejel hrano, je bil okrepljen. Potem je bil Savel nekaj dni z učenci, ki so bili v Damasku.
He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 In nemudoma je v sinagogah oznanjal Kristusa, da je on Božji Sin.
Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
21 Toda vsi, ki so ga slišali, so bili osupli in rekli: »Ali ni to tisti, ki je uničil tiste, ki so se v Jeruzalemu sklicevali na to ime in je prišel sèm zaradi tega namena, da bi jih lahko zvezane privedel k visokim duhovnikom?«
All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”
22 Toda Savel je še bolj narasel v moči in zbegal Jude, ki so prebivali v Damasku ter dokazoval, da je ta pravi Kristus.
But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 In potem, ko so bili izpolnjeni mnogi dnevi, so se Judje posvetovali, da ga ubijejo,
When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
24 toda njihovo prežanje v zasedi je bilo sporočeno Savlu. In noč in dan so stražili velika vrata, da ga ubijejo.
but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
25 Potem so ga učenci ponoči vzeli in ga v košari spustili dol ob obzidju.
but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 In ko je Savel prišel v Jeruzalem, se je poskusil pridružiti učencem, toda vsi so se ga bali in niso verjeli, da je bil učenec.
When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 Vendar ga je Barnaba vzel in ga privedel k apostolom ter jim razodel, kako je na poti videl Gospoda in da mu je govoril ter kako je v Damasku pogumno oznanjal v Jezusovem imenu.
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 In bil je z njimi in prihajal in odhajal iz Jeruzalema.
He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
29 In pogumno je govoril v imenu Gospoda Jezusa ter se prerekal proti Grkom, toda oni so ga poskušali umoriti.
preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30 Nakar, ko so bratje [to] izvedeli, so ga odvedli dol v Cezarejo in ga poslali v Tarz.
When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 Potem so imele cerkve po vsej celotni Judeji in Galileji ter Samariji mir in se izgrajevale, in ker so živele v strahu Gospodovem ter v tolažbi Svetega Duha, so bile pomnožene.
So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 In pripetilo se je, ko je Peter potoval po vseh celotnih okoliših, [da] je prišel tudi dol k svetim, ki so prebivali v Lidi.
As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
33 In tam je našel nekega moža, po imenu Enéj, ki se je osem let držal svoje postelje in je bil bolan zaradi paralize.
There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralysed.
34 In Peter mu je rekel: »Enéj, Jezus Kristus te celostno ozdravlja. Vstani in postelji svojo posteljo.« In ta je takoj vstal.
Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
35 In vsi tisti, ki so prebivali v Lidi in Šarónu, so ga videli ter se obrnili h Gospodu.
All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 Torej v Jopi je bila neka učenka, po imenu Tabíta, kar se po razlagi imenuje Gazela. Ta ženska je bila polna dobrih del in dejanj miloščine, ki jih je storila.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
37 In pripetilo se je v tistih dneh, da je bila bolna in je umrla. Ko so jo umili, so jo položili v zgornjo sobo.
In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38 Ker pa je bila Lida blizu Jope in so učenci slišali, da je bil tam Peter, so k njemu poslali dva moža, ki sta ga prosila, da ne bi odlašal priti k njim.
As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
39 Potem je Peter vstal in odšel z njima. Ko je prišel, so ga odvedli v zgornjo sobo, in vse vdove so jokaje stale poleg njega in kazale plašče ter obleke, ki jih je naredila Gazela, dokler je bila z njimi.
Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 Vendar jih je Peter vse vrgel ven ter pokleknil in molil, in ko se je obrnil k telesu, je rekel: »Tabíta, vstani.« In odprla je svoje oči, in ko je zagledala Petra, se je usedla.
Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 In dal ji je svojo roko ter jo dvignil. In ko je poklical svete ter vdove, jo je izročil živo.
He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 In to se je razvedelo po vsej celotni Jopi in mnogi so verovali v Gospoda.
This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 In pripetilo se je, da je mnogo dni ostal v Jopi pri nekem strojarju Simonu.
He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
