Apostolska dela 1
1 Prejšnje poročilo sem naredil, oh Teófil, o vsem, kar je Jezus začel, tako delati kakor učiti,
THE former treatise, Theophilus, I composed, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 do dne, v katerem je bil vzet gor, potem ko je po Svetem Duhu dal zapovedi apostolom, ki jih je izbral;
until that day, when having given a charge to his apostles through the Holy Ghost, whom he had chosen, he was taken up:
3 katerim se je, po svojem trpljenju, tudi pokazal živega, z mnogimi nezmotljivimi dokazi, ki so jih gledali štirideset dni in govorili o stvareh, ki se nanašajo na Božje kraljestvo;
to whom also he had shewed himself alive, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, during forty days being frequently seen by them, and speaking of the things which relate to the kingdom of God:
4 in ko je bil zbran skupaj z njimi, jim je zapovedal, da naj ne odidejo iz Jeruzalema, temveč čakajo na Očetovo obljubo: »Katero, « on pravi, »ste slišali od mene.
and assembling them together, commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye have heard from me.
5 Kajti Janez je resnično krščeval z vodo, toda vi boste krščeni s Svetim Duhom, čez ne mnogo dni.«
For John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost not many days after the present.
6 Ko so torej prišli skupaj, so ga vprašali, rekoč: »Gospod, ali boš v tem času Izraelu ponovno obnovil kraljestvo?«
They then accordingly assembling together, asked him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time reestablish the kingdom of Israel?
7 In rekel jim je: »Ni za vas, da bi vedeli čase ali obdobja, ki jih je Oče postavil v svoji lastni oblasti.
But he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times and the seasons, which the Father hath reserved under his own authority.
8 Toda prejeli boste moč, po tem, ko Sveti Duh pride nad vas, in vi mi boste priče, tako v Jeruzalemu kakor po vsej Judeji in v Samariji ter do skrajnega dela zemlje.«
But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses for me, both in Jerusalem, and throughout all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the extremity of the earth.
9 In ko je govoril te besede, medtem ko so ga gledali, je bil vzet gor, in oblak ga je sprejel iz njihovega pogleda.
And as he was speaking these things, while they were looking upon him, he was taken up; and a cloud enveloping him hid him from their eyes.
10 In medtem ko so neomajno gledali proti nebu, ko je šel gor, glej, sta poleg njih stala dva moža v belih oblekah,
And as they looked up earnestly into the heaven, while he was passing, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 ki sta prav tako rekla: »Vi, možje iz Galileje, zakaj stojite strmeč v nebo? Ta isti Jezus, ki je bil od vas vzet gor v nebesa, bo prišel tako, na podoben način, kakor ste ga videli iti v nebo.«
who also said to them, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in the same manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Tedaj so se z gore, imenovane Oljska, ki je šabatni dan poti od Jeruzalema, vrnili v Jeruzalem.
Then they returned unto Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, about a sabbath-day’s journey distant.
13 In ko so prišli vanj, so odšli gor v gornjo sobo, kjer so prebivali Peter in Jakob in Janez in Andrej, Filip in Tomaž, Bartolomej in Matej, Alfejev sin Jakob in Simon Gorečnik ter Jakobov brat Juda.
And when they had arrived, they went up to an upper room, where abode Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealous, and Jude brother to James.
14 Vsi ti so soglasno vztrajali v molitvi in ponižni prošnji z ženskami in Marijo, Jezusovo materjo ter z njegovimi brati.
These all persevered unanimously in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 In v tistih dneh je sredi učencev vstal Peter ter rekel (skupno število imen je bilo okoli sto dvajset):
And in those days arose Peter in the midst of the disciples, and said, (there was a number of persons together, about an hundred and twenty, )
16 »Možje in bratje, to pismo se je brezpogojno moralo izpolniti, ki ga je Sveti Duh po Davidovih ustih prej govoril glede Juda, ki je bil vodnik tem, ki so prijeli Jezusa.
Men and brethren, it must needs be that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost delivered before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the conductor of those who seized on Jesus.
17 Kajti bil je štet z nami in je dosegel delež te službe.
For he was reckoned of our number, and had obtained an appointment to this ministry.
18 Torej ta človek je s krivično nagrado kupil polje in ko je padel z glavo naprej, se je po sredi razpočil in vsa njegova notranjost se je izlila ven.
This man indeed accordingly purchased a spot of ground with the wages of iniquity; and projected forward, he burst in the midst, and all his bowels fell out.
19 In to je bilo znano vsem jeruzalemskim prebivalcem, tako zelo, da se to polje v njihovem pravem jeziku imenuje Hakéldama, to se pravi: ›Njiva krvi.‹
And it was a fact known to all who dwelt at Jerusalem; so that this field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, The field of blood.
20 Kajti pisano je v knjigi Psalmov: ›Naj bo njegovo prebivališče zapuščeno in naj noben človek ne prebiva v njem in njegovo duhovno nadzorništvo naj prevzame nekdo drug.‹
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let there be no man to dwell in it: and his office, as bishop, let another take.
21 Zatorej izmed teh ljudi, ki so se z nami družili ves čas, ko je Gospod Jezus hodil med nami noter in ven,
Wherefore from among the men who have associated with us always during the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 začenši od Janezovega krsta do tega istega dne, ko je bil od nas vzet gor, mora biti nekdo odrejen, da bo z nami priča njegovega vstajenja.«
beginning from his baptism by John, until the day in which he was taken up from us, must there be chosen with us a witness of his resurrection, even one of these.
23 In določili so dva, Jožefa, imenovanega Bársaba, ki je bil imenovan z vzdevkom Just ter Matija.
So they appointed two persons, Joseph called Barsabas, whose sirname was Justus, and Matthias.
24 In molili so ter rekli: »Ti, Gospod, ki poznaš srca vseh ljudi, pokaži, katerega izmed teh dveh si izbral,
And joining in prayer, they said, Do thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, point out the one of these two which thou hast chosen,
25 da lahko prevzame del te službe in apostolstva, od katerega je Juda s prestopkom odpadel, da bi lahko šel na svoj lasten kraj.«
to take a part in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, to go to his own place.
26 In naznanili so svoje žrebe in žreb je padel na Matija in ta je bil prištet enajsterim apostolom.
And they drew lots for them and the lot fell to Matthias and he was by unanimous suffrage numbered with the eleven apostles.
