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.
And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Pokopali pa so Štefana možjé pobožni, in plakali so zeló za njim.
And devout men carried Stephen [to his burial], 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.
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and hauling men and women committed [them] to prison.
4 Tí pa, kteri so se bili razkropili, hodili so okrog, oznanjujoč besedo.
Therefore they that were dispersed went every where preaching the word.
5 A Filip, ko jo prišel dol v mesto Samarijsko, oznanjeval jim je Kristusa.
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them.
6 In pazilo je ljudstvo enega duha na to, kar je Filip pravil, poslušajoč in gledajoč znamenja, ktera je delal.
And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he performed.
7 Kajti duhovi nečisti so iz mnogih, kteri so jih imeli, vpijoč z močnim glasom, izhajali. In veliko mrtvoudnih in hromih je ozdravelo.
For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed: and many taken with palsies, and that were 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 there was a certain man called Simon, who before in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
10 Kterega so vsi poslušali od najmanjega do največega, govoreč: Ta je vélika moč Božja.
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, 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 had regard, because that for a long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
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, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized 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 himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14 Slišavši pa aposteljni, kteri so bili v Jeruzalemu, da je sprejela Samarija besedo Božjo, pošljejo jim Petra in Janeza.
Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John:
15 In ko sta prišla dol, molila sta za-nje, da bi prejeli Duha svetega.
Who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit:
16 (Kajti na nobenega od njih še ni bil prišel, nego bili so samo krščeni v ime Gospoda Jezusa.)
(For as yet he had fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Tedaj sta pokladala roke na-nje, in prejemali so Duhu svetega.
Then they laid [their] hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 Videvši pa Simon, da se po pokladanji rok aposteljnov daje Duh sveti, prinese jima denarjev,
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
19 Govoreč: Dajta tudi meni to oblast, da, na kogarkoli položim roke, prejme Duha svetega.
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.
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 to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Nimaš ga dela ne deleža v tej reči; kajti srce tvoje ni pravo pred Bogom.
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of 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 God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
23 Kajti vidim te, da si v grenkem žolči in zvezi krivice.
For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and [in] 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 answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25 Ona tedaj, popričavši in govorivši besedo Gospodovo, vrnila sta se v Jeruzalem, in mnogim vasém Samarijanskim sta oznanila evangelj.
And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to 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.
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert.
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 behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
28 Vračal se je, in sedeč na vozu svojem, prebiral je preroka Izaija.
Was returning; and sitting in his chariot, read Isaiah the prophet.
29 Duh pa reče Filipu: Pristopi in pridruži se temu vozu.
Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot.
30 Pritekši pa Filip, sliši ga, da bere preroka Izaija, ter reče: Ali pa umeš, kar bereš?
And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 On pa reče: Kako bi mogel, če me kdo ne napoti? Ter zaprosi Filipa, naj vstopi in sede k njemu.
And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would 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 place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, 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: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 Odgovarjajoč pa skopljenec Filipu, reče: Prosim te, o kom govorí to prerok? o sebi, ali o kterem drugem?
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Filip pa odpre usta svoja, in začenši od tega pisma, oznani mu Jezusa.
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and 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?
And as they went on [their] way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
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 all thy heart, thou mayest. And 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 commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized 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.
And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and 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 was found at Azotus: and passing through, he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.
