Apostolska dela 8
1 Savel pa je bil privolil na njegovo smrt. In vstalo je ta dan veliko preganjanje zoper cerkev, ktera je bila v Jeruzalemu; in vsi so se razkropili po krajih Judejskih in Samarijskih, razen aposteljnov.
BUT Saul was delighted with his execution. Now on that very day commenced a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all, besides the apostles, were dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria.
2 Pokopali pa so Štefana možjé pobožni, in plakali so zeló za njim.
Then some pious men assembling, carried Stephen to his grave, and made great lamentation over him.
3 A Savel je zatiral cerkev, in hodil je po hišah, in vlačil je možé in žene, ter izdajal v ječo.
But Saul ravaged the church, entering into the houses, and dragging men and women, cast them into prison.
4 Tí pa, kteri so se bili razkropili, hodili so okrog, oznanjujoč besedo.
Those therefore who were dispersed, travelled through the country, preaching the word.
5 A Filip, ko jo prišel dol v mesto Samarijsko, oznanjeval jim je Kristusa.
But Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
6 In pazilo je ljudstvo enega duha na to, kar je Filip pravil, poslušajoč in gledajoč znamenja, ktera je delal.
And the multitudes with united minds were very attentive to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard him, and saw the miracles which he did.
7 Kajti duhovi nečisti so iz mnogih, kteri so jih imeli, vpijoč z močnim glasom, izhajali. In veliko mrtvoudnih in hromih je ozdravelo.
For the unclean spirits, roaring with great cries, came forth out of many who were possessed: and many who were paralytic and lame were healed.
8 In bila je velika radost v tem mestu.
And there was great joy in that city.
9 Bil je pa neki mož po imenu Simon, kteri je poprej čaral v mestu, in mamil ljudstvo Samarijsko, govoreč, da je on nekaj velikega;
But a certain man, named Simon, lived previously in that city, who practised magic, and astonished the nation of Samaria, giving out himself as an extraordinary great personage:
10 Kterega so vsi poslušali od najmanjega do največega, govoreč: Ta je vélika moč Božja.
to whom all gave heed from the small to the great, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 Poslušali so ga pa za to, ker jih je bil dolgo časa mamil s čarobnimi deli.
And to him they attended, because he had of a considerable time astonished them by his magical tricks.
12 Ko so pa verovali Filipu, kteri je oznanjeval, kar kraljestvo Božje in ime Jezusa Kristusa zadeva, krščevali so se možjé in žene.
But when they believed Philip, who preached the glad tidings of the things which related to the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised both men and women.
13 Tedaj je Simon tudi sam veroval; in krstivši se, držal se je Filipa. In videč znamenja in čudeže velike, kteri so se godili, strmel je.
Then Simon also himself believed: and being baptised, he attached himself to Philip, and beholding the signs and great miracles which were performed, he was astonished.
14 Slišavši pa aposteljni, kteri so bili v Jeruzalemu, da je sprejela Samarija besedo Božjo, pošljejo jim Petra in Janeza.
But when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 In ko sta prišla dol, molila sta za-nje, da bi prejeli Duha svetega.
who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (Kajti na nobenega od njih še ni bil prišel, nego bili so samo krščeni v ime Gospoda Jezusa.)
for as yet he had not fallen on any one of them: only they had been baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Tedaj sta pokladala roke na-nje, in prejemali so Duhu svetega.
Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 Videvši pa Simon, da se po pokladanji rok aposteljnov daje Duh sveti, prinese jima denarjev,
Now when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the apostles’ hands, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Govoreč: Dajta tudi meni to oblast, da, na kogarkoli položim roke, prejme Duha svetega.
saying, Confer on me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, they may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 Peter mu pa reče: Srebro tvoje naj s teboj vred pogine, da si pomislil, da se dar Božji more dobiti za denarje.
But Peter said unto him, May thy silver with thyself go into perdition, because thou hast imagined that the gift of God can be purchased with money.
21 Nimaš ga dela ne deleža v tej reči; kajti srce tvoje ni pravo pred Bogom.
There is for thee neither part nor lot in this word: for thy heart is not right before God.
22 Spokóri se torej od te hudobije svoje, in prosi Boga, da bi li se odpustila misel srca tvojega.
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if haply this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
23 Kajti vidim te, da si v grenkem žolči in zvezi krivice.
For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and the bond of iniquity.
24 Odgovarjajoč pa Simon, reče: Prosita vidva za-me Gospoda, da ne pride nič tega na mé, kar sta rekla.
Then Simon answering said, Pray ye for me unto the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me.
25 Ona tedaj, popričavši in govorivši besedo Gospodovo, vrnila sta se v Jeruzalem, in mnogim vasém Samarijanskim sta oznanila evangelj.
Then they, after bearing their testimony, and speaking the word of the Lord, returned towards Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Angelj pa Gospodov reče Filipu, govoreč: Vstani in pojdi proti poldnevu, na cesto, ktera peljá iz Jeruzalema dol v Gazo; ona je pusta.
Now the angel of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, on the road which leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza: it is a wilderness.
27 In vstavši, odšel je. In glej, mož iz Etijopije skopljenec, komornik Kandake Kraljice Etijopske, kteri je bil nad vsemi zakladi njenimi, in je bil prišel molit v Jeruzalem,
And he arose and went: and lo! an Ethiopian man, an eunuch, a person in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury; he had gone to worship unto Jerusalem,
28 Vračal se je, in sedeč na vozu svojem, prebiral je preroka Izaija.
and was returning, and sitting in his chariot, was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Duh pa reče Filipu: Pristopi in pridruži se temu vozu.
Then said the Spirit to Philip, Go up, and approach close to that chariot.
30 Pritekši pa Filip, sliši ga, da bere preroka Izaija, ter reče: Ali pa umeš, kar bereš?
Then Philip running up to him, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said, Well! but dost thou understand what thou art reading?
31 On pa reče: Kako bi mogel, če me kdo ne napoti? Ter zaprosi Filipa, naj vstopi in sede k njemu.
He replied, How indeed can I, except some person guide me in the way? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 Vrsta pa pisma, ktero je bral, bila je ta: Kakor ovca na zaklanje se je odpeljal, in kakor je jagnje pred tistim, kteri ga striže, brez glasú: tako ni odprl ust svojih.
The portion of scripture which he had been reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before him who sheareth it is dumb, so he opened not his mouth:
33 V ponižanji njegovem se je preklicala sodba njegova; a rod njegov kdo bo razložil? kajti življenje njegovo se bo vzelo od zemlje."
in his humiliation his judgment was taken away: but his generation who can describe? for his life was taken away from the earth.”
34 Odgovarjajoč pa skopljenec Filipu, reče: Prosim te, o kom govorí to prerok? o sebi, ali o kterem drugem?
Then the eunuch addressing himself to Philip, said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet thus speak? of himself, or of some other person?
35 Filip pa odpre usta svoja, in začenši od tega pisma, oznani mu Jezusa.
Then Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from that scripture, preached to him Jesus.
36 Ko sta pa šla po poti, prideta k nekej vodi: in skopljenec reče: Glej, voda! kaj brani krstiti mi se?
But as they went on the road, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, Here is water, what forbids my being baptised?
37 Filip pa reče: Če veruješ iz vsega srca, smeš. In odgovarjajoč, reče: Verujem, da je Jezus Kristus sin Božji.
And Philip said, If thou believest with the whole heart, it is allowable. Then he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 In ukaže voz ustaviti: in snideta oba v vodo, Filip in pa skopljenec: in krsti ga.
And he bid the carriage stop: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptised him.
39 Ko sta bila pa izšla iz vode, vzel je Duh Gospodov Filipa; in ni ga več videl skopljenec: šel je pa vesel svoj pot.
But when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: then he went on his way rejoicing.
40 A Filip se je našel v Azotu; in gredoč skozi, oznanjeval je evangelj vsem mestom, dokler ni prišel v Cezarejo.
But Philip found himself at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel in all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
