Apostolska dela 13

1 Bili so pa v cerkvi, ktera je bila v Antijohiji, nekteri preroki in učeniki: Barnaba in Simeon, ki se je imenoval Niger, in Lucij Cirenec, in Manahen, s Herodom četrtnikom odgojen, in Savel.

NOW there were at Antioch, according to the established church, prophets and teachers; such as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger the black, and Lucius a Cyrenian, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother, and Saul.

2 Ko so pa oni službo Gospodu opravljali in se postili, reče sveti Duh: Odločite mi Barnaba in Savla za delo, na ktero sem ju poklizal.

And as they were employed in the ministry, and kept a fast, the Holy Ghost said, Set apart for me now both Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

3 Tedaj, postivši se in molivši, položé roke na nju, ter ju odpusté.

Then having kept a fast and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them out.

4 Ta torej, poslana od Duha svetega, snideta v Selevcijo, in odtod se odpeljeta po morji na Ciper.

They then being sent forth indeed by the Holy Ghost, went down to Seleucia; and from thence sailed to Cyprus.

5 In ko sta prišla v Salamino, oznanjevala sta besedo Božjo po shajališčih Judovskih; imela sta pa tudi Janeza za služabnika.

And being at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had John also as their attendant.

6 In ko sta prešla otok noter do Pafa, najdeta nekega vražarja, lažnjivega preroka Juda, kteremu je bilo ime Barjezu,

Now as they travelled through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain person who professed magic, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:

7 In je bil z namestnikom Sergijem Pavlom, pametnim možem. Ta, poklicavši Barnaba in Savla, želel je slišati besedo Božjo.

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; he inviting to his house Barnabas and Saul, desired earnestly to hear the word of God.

8 Ali ustavljal jima se je Elima, vražar (tako namreč se tolmači ime njegovo), gledajoč, da bi namestnika odvrnil od vere.

But Elymas the magician (for such is his name when interpreted) opposed them, seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

9 Savel pa, ki se tudi Pavel imenuje, poln Duha svetega, pogledavši na-nj,

Then Saul (now Paul), filled with the Holy Ghost, and fixing his eyes upon him,

10 Reče: O polni vsake zvijače in vsake hudobije, sin hudičev, sovražnik vsake pravice! ali ne boš nehal prevračati pravih potov Gospodovih?

said, O thou full of all guile and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the strait ways of the Lord?

11 In sedaj, glej, roka Gospodova je zoper té, in slep boš in ne boš videl solnca do časa. In pri tej priči je padel na-nj mrak in tema, in tipajoč okoli, iskal je vodnika.

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, seeing the sun no more for a season. And instantly there fell on him a thick mist and darkness; and groping about he sought some to lead him by the hand.

12 Tedaj je namestnik, ko je videl, kaj se je zgodilo, veroval, in čudil se je nauku Gospodovemu.

Then when the proconsul saw what was done, he believed, being struck with the doctrine of the Lord.

13 Odpeljavši pa se iz Pafa Pavel in kteri so bili ž njim, pridejo v Pergo Pamfilijsko. Janez pa se loči od nju, in vrne se v Jeruzalem.

Hereupon sailing from Paphos, they who were about Paul came to Perga in Pamphylia: but John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

14 Ona pa, ko sta bila odšla iz Perge, prideta v Antijohijo Pisidijsko, in vnideta v sobotni dan v shajališče, in sedeta.

And they departed from Perga, and came to Antioch in Pisidia, and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, they sat down.

15 Po branji postave in prerokov pa pošljejo poglavarji shajališča k njima, govoreč: Moža brata! če je v vaju beseda tolažbe za ljudstvo, govorita.

Then after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogues sent to them, saying, Men and brethren, if ye are disposed to give a word of exhortation to the people, speak.

16 Vstavši torej Pavel, pomigne z roko, naj umolknejo, ter reče: Možjé Izraelci, in kteri se bojite Boga, poslušajte!

Then Paul arose, and waving his hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear me.

17 Bog naroda tega Izraelovega je izvolil očete naše, in povišal je ljudstvo, ko so prebivali v zemlji Egiptovskej, in s povzdigneno roko jih je izpeljal iž nje.

The God of this people Israel selected our fathers, and exalted the people during their abode in the land of Egypt, and with a mighty arm brought he them out of it.

18 In okoli štirideset let je potrpel ž njih šegami v puščavi.

And about the space of forty years he bore with their behaviour in the wilderness.

19 In pokončavši sedem narodov v zemlji Kanaanskej, razdelil jim je po kocki njih zemljo.

And destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he distributed their territory to them by lot.

20 In po tem, kakih štiri sto in petdeset let, dal jim je sodnike do Samuela preroka.

And after these things, during a space of about four hundred and fifty years, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

21 In odtlej so zahtevali kralja, in dal jim je Bog Savla sina Kisovega, moža iz rodú Benjaminovega, štirideset let.

And from that time they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.

22 In ko je bil tega zavrgel, obudil jim je Davida za kralja, kteremu je tudi rekel, pričevaje: "Našel sem Davida Jesejevega, moža po srcu svojem, kteri bo izpolnjeval vso voljo mojo."

And removing him, he raised up unto them David to be king; respecting whom also he spake testifying, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall perform all my intentions.”

23 Iž njegovega semena je Bog po obljubi obudil Izraelu zveličarja Jezusa,

From this man’s seed according to the promise hath God raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24 Ko je oznanil Janez pred prihodom njegovim krst pokore vsemu ljudstvu Izraelovemu.

John having preached before his first coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 Ko je pa Janez tek svoj dopolnjeval, govoril je: "Kdo menite, da sem jaz? Nisem jaz, nego glej, prišel bo za menoj, komur nisem vreden obutala odvezati z nog."

But as John was finishing his course, he said, Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not the Messiah. But, behold! he is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 Možjé bratje, sinovi rodú Abrahamovega, in kteri se med vami bojé Boga! vam se je poslala beseda tega življenja.

Men and brethren, children of the race of Abraham, and all among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27 Kajti tí, kteri prebivajo v Jeruzalemu, in njih poglavarji, ker tega niso poznali, odsodili so ga, in tako so glasove prerokov, kteri se vsako soboto beró, dopolnili;

For they who dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, being ignorant of him, and the words of the prophets that are read every sabbath-day, by condemning him have fulfilled them.

28 In nobene krivice smrtne niso našli, in prosili so Pilata, naj ga pogubí.

And though they found no cause of death in him, they besought Pilate that he might be killed.

29 In ko so dopolnili vse, kar je bilo pisano za njega, sneli so ga z lesa in položili v grob.

But when they had finished all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 A Bog ga je obudil iz mrtvih,

But God raised him from the dead:

31 In pokazoval se je več dnî tem, kteri so bili ž njim vred prišli iz Galileje v Jeruzalem, kteri so priče njegove pred ljudstvom.

and he was seen many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

32 In mi vam oznanjujemo obljubo, ktera se je obljubila očetom, da je to Bog izpolnil nam njih otrokom, obudivši Jezusa,

And we preach to you the promise made to our fathers;

33 Kakor je tudi v drugem psalmu pisano: "Sin moj si ti; jaz sem te danes rodil."

for this hath God fulfilled to their children, even to us, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, “Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.”

34 Da ga je pa obudil iz mrtvih, da se ne vrne več v trohnenje, rekel je tako: "Dal vam bom svetinjo Davidovo zvesto."

But that he raised him from the dead, no more in future to return to corruption, he hath thus spoken, “I will give you the holy things of David, which are sure.”

35 Za to pravi tudi na drugem mestu: "Ne boš dal, da bi svetnik tvoj videl trohnenje."

Wherefore also he saith in another place, “Thou wilt not permit thy Holy One to see corruption.”

36 Kajti David, ko je bil ob času svojem poslužil volji Božjej, zaspal je, in položili so ga k očetom njegovim, in videl je trohnenje.

For David indeed, after having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw corruption.

37 Ta pa, ki ga je Bog obudil, ni videl trohnenja.

But he, whom God raised up, saw no corruption.

38 Znano vam torej bodi, možjé bratje! da vam se po njem odpuščanje grehov oznanjuje;

Be it therefore known unto you, men and brethren, that through this man remission of sin is proclaimed to you:

39 In od vsega, od česar se v Mojzesovej postavi niste mogli opravičiti, opravičil se bo v tem vsak, kdor veruje.

and by this man shall every one who believeth be justified from all things, from which it was not possible that he should be justified by the law of Moses.

40 Glejte torej, da ne pride na vas, kar je rečeno v prerokih:

Take heed then, that this come not upon you, which is spoken by the prophets;

41 "Glejte, zaničevalci! in čudite se in izginite; kajti delo bom jaz storil v dnéh vaših, delo, kteremu ne boste verovali, če vam kdo pové."

“Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I do a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though one declare it unto you.”

42 Ko sta pa izšla iz shajališča Judovskega, prosili so ju pogani, naj bi jim drugo soboto govorila te besede.

But when the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles entreated that these words might be spoken to them the following sabbath.

43 In ko se je zbor razšel, odšlo je veliko Judov in pobožnih izpreobrnencev za Pavlom in Barnabom, ktera sta, govoreč jim, prigovarjala, naj ostanejo v milosti Božjej.

And when the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, exhorting them, persuaded them to abide stedfast in the grace of God.

44 A drugo soboto se je skoro vse mesto zbralo, da bi slišali besedo Božjo.

And on the next sabbath almost all the city thronged together to hear the word of God.

45 Videč pa Judje ljudstvo, napolnijo se nenavidnosti, in govorili so zoper to, kar je pravil Pavel, nasprotujoč in preklinjajoč.

But the Jews seeing the multitude, were filled with envy, and opposed the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.

46 Tedaj Pavel in Barnaba srčno rečeta: Vam se je morala najprej govoriti beseda Božja; ko jo pa zametujete, in se nevredne štejete večnega življenja, glej, obračava se do poganov. (aiōnios g166)

Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with undaunted boldness, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken unto you: but since ye have thrust it from you, and judged yourselves not worthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 Kajti tako nam je zapovedal Gospod: "Postavil sem te za luč poganom, da boš na zveličanje noter do kraja zemlje."

For so hath the Lord enjoined us, “I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou mightest be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth.”

48 Ko so pa pogani to slišali, veselili so se, in slavili so besedo Gospodovo, in verovali so, kolikor jih je bilo odločenih za večno življenje. (aiōnios g166)

Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and they believed, even as many as were ordained to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

49 In razširjala se je beseda Gospodova po vsej deželi.

So the word of the Lord was diffused through the whole region.

50 Judje pa nadražijo pobožne in poštene žene in prvake mestne, in zbudé preganjanje zoper Pavla in Barnaba, in izženó ju iz svojih krajev.

Then the Jews stirred up the devout women, and those who were respectable, and the principal persons of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.

51 A ona sta otresla prah z nog svojih na njih, in prišla sta v Ikonijo.

But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.

52 Učenci pa so so napolnjevali radosti in Duha svetega.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
