Apostolska dela 24
1 Črez pet dnî pa snide véliki duhoven Ananija s starešinami in govornikom nekim Tertulom; in ti pridejo pred poglavarja zoper Pavla.
And after five days, Ananias the chief priest came down with the elders and a certain orator, Tertullus; and they informed the governor against Paul.
2 Ko je bil pa poklican, začne tožiti Tertul, govoreč:
And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying:
3 Da imamo veliko mirú po tebi, in pravice in sreče, ktero se narodu temu godé po tvojej previdnosti, vselej in povsodi, častiti Feliks! sprejemamo z vso hvaležnostjo.
Since through you we enjoy great quietness, and since whatever has been undertaken for this nation has been conducted to a successful issue by your foresight at all times and in all places, we accept it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Ali da te ne bom dalje nadlegoval, prosim, da bi nas poslušal ob kratkem po svojej dobroti.
But that I may not detain you longer, I beseech you to hear us, in your clemency, a few words.
5 Našli smo namreč tega človeka, da je kuga, in budí punt zoper vse Jude po vsem svetu, in je vodnik ločinki Nazaretskej,
For we have found this man a pest and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6 Kteri je izkusil tudi tempelj oskruniti; kterega smo tudi zgrabili in po svojej postavi hoteli soditi;
He also attempted to profane the temple; and we took him, and wished to judge him according to our law.
7 Ali prišel je Lizija jezernik, ter ga je z veliko silo iz rok naših odpeljal,
But Lysias the officer came, and, with much violence, took him out of our hands,
8 Ukazavši tožnikom njegovim, naj gremo k tebi; od njega boš mogel sam, ko izprašaš, vse to zvedeti, za kar ga mi tožimo.
and commanded his accusers to come before you. From him you may be able yourself, by examination, to gain a knowledge of all these tilings of which we accuse him.
9 Pritrdili pa so tudi Judje, govoreč, da je to tako.
And the Jews united in accusing him, saying that these things were so.
10 Pavel pa odgovorí, ko mu je poglavar namignil, da naj govorí: Ker vém, da si veliko let sèm sodnik temu narodu, odgovarjal bom to, kar se mene tiče, toliko srčneje:
Then Paul, after the governor had nodded to him to speak, answered: Knowing that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I do the more cheerfully offer a defense for myself:
11 Ko lahko zvéš, da ni več, kakor dvanajst dnî, kar sem prišel molit v Jeruzalem.
for you can understand that there are not more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
12 In niso me našli v tempeljnu, da bi se bil s kom prepiral ali da bi bil napravljal hrup med ljudstvom, ne po shajališčih, ne po mestu;
And they found me neither disputing with any one in the temple, nor exciting the multitude in the synagogue, or in the city:
13 In tudi izkazati ne morejo, za kar me sedaj tožijo.
nor are they able to prove the things of which they now accuse me.
14 To ti pa priznavam, da po poti, ktero imenujejo ločinko, tako služim Boga očakov, verovaje vse, kar je po postavi in v prerokih pisano,
But this I confess to you, that after the way which they call sect, so do I worship the God of my fathers; believing all things that are written in the law and in the prophets;
15 Upanje imajoč na Boga, kterega tudi oni sami čakajo, da bo vstajanje mrtvim, pravičnim in nepravičnim.
having hope in God, which they themselves also admit, that I there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust.
16 V tem si pa sam prizadevam, da bi brezmadežno vest imel pred Bogom in ljudmí vsegdar.
And I do exercise myself in this, always to have a conscience void of offense toward God and man.
17 Črez več pa let sem prišel miloščino delit narodu svojemu in daritve;
But, after many years, I came to bring charitable gifts to my nation, and offerings.
18 Pri tem so me našli očiščenega v tempeljnu, ne z ljudstvom ne s hrupom, neki Judje iz Azije,
While engaged in these things, certain Jews from Asia found me fulfilling my vow of abstinence in the temple, not with a multitude, nor with tumult.
19 Kteri bi imeli predte priti in tožiti, če kaj imajo zoper mene.
These ought to be here before you, and bring their charge, if they have any, against me.
20 Ali naj ti sami povedó, če so našli krivico na meni, ko sem stal pred zborom;
Or let these persons here say, what offensive conduct they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrim,
21 Razen za voljo tega edinega glasú, s kterim sem zavpil, stoječ med njimi: Za voljo vstajanja mrtvih me sodite danes.
except in this one expression, which I uttered while standing among them: With respect to the resurrection I of the dead, I am judged by you this day.
22 Slišavši pa to Feliks, odloží jim, na tanko vedoč, kar ta pot zadeva, in reče: Kedar Lizija jezernik snide, razsodil bom vašo stvar.
But Felix, having a more accurate knowledge of this way, put them off, and said: When Lysias the officer comes down, I will inquire fully into your matters.
23 In ukazal je stotniku, da se ima Pavel varovati, in da naj se nikomur od njegovih ne brani streči mu ali dohajati k njemu.
And he commanded the centurion to keep him under guard, and to relax the rigor of his confinement, and to forbid no one of his friends to minister or to come to him.
24 A črez nekaj dnî pride Feliks z Družilo ženo svojo, ktera je bila Judinja, in pokliče Pavla, in slišal ga je o veri v Kristusa.
And, after some days, Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess; and he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 Ko je pa govoril on o pravici in zdržljivosti in prihodnjej sodbi, uplaši se Feliks, in odgovorí: Za sedaj pojdi; a kedar bom prigoden čas imel, poklical te bom.
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered: For the present withdraw; when I have a convenient season, I will call for you.
26 Zraven se je pa tudi nadejal, da mu bo Pavel dal denarja, da bi ga izpustil; za to ga je tudi pogostoma klical in se razgovarjal ž njim.
He hoped, at the same time, that money would have been given him by Paul, to release him. For this reason, he sent for him very frequently, and conversed with him.
27 Ko ste se pa izpolnili dve leti, prejme Feliks nastopnika Porcija Festa; hoteč pa Feliks Judom ugoditi, pustil je Pavla zvezanega.
But, after two years, Felix received Portius Festus as his successor; and Felix, wishing to confer a favor on the Jews, left Paul bound.
