Acts 23
1 And Paul looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day.
In Pavel, pogledavši na zbor, reče: Možjé bratje! jaz sem z vso dobro vestjó živel pred Bogom do današnjega dné.
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Véliki duhoven Ananija pa ukaže tistim, kteri so pri njem stali, naj ga udarijo po ustih.
3 Then Paul said to him: God shall strike thee, thou whited wall. For sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and contrary to the law commandest me to be struck?
Tedaj mu Pavel reče: Udaril te bo Bog, stena pobeljena! in ti sediš, da bi me sodil po postavi, in zoper postavo me veliš bíti?
4 And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
Tisti pa, kteri so zraven stali, rekó: Vélikega duhovna Božjega preklinjaš?
5 And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people.
Pa reče Pavel: Nisem vedel, bratje, da je véliki duhoven; pisano je namreč: "Poglavarja naroda svojega ne preklinjaj."
6 And Paul knowing that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Vedoč pa Pavel, da je eden del Saducejev, a drugi Farizejev, zavpije v zboru: Možjé bratje, jaz sem Farizej, sin Farizejev; za voljo upanja in vstajanja mrtvih sem na sodbi.
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
Ko je pa to rekel, nastane razpor med Farizeji in Saduceji, in množica se razdelí.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Kajti Saduceji pravijo, da ni vstajanja, in tudi angelja in duha ne; a Farizeji trdijo oboje.
9 And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
In vstata je velika krika; in vstavši pismarji od strani Farizejske, pobijali so, govoreč: Nič hudega ne nahajamo na tem človeku; če mu je pa duh govoril ali angelj, ne nasprotujmo Bogu.
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
Ko je pa vstal razpor velik, bal se je jezernik, da ne bi Pavla raztrgali, ter ukaže, naj snidejo vojaki in ga potegnejo izmed njih, in odpeljejo v grad.
11 And the night following the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
Drugo noč pa pristopi Gospod k njemu, in reče: Ne boj se, Pavel! kajti kakor si v Jeruzalemu pričal za-me, tako moraš tudi v Rimu pričati.
12 And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat, nor drink, till they killed Paul.
Ko se je pa zdanilo, zbere se nekaj Judov, in zaroté se, govoreč, da ne bodo ne jedli ne pili, dokler ne ubijejo Pavla.
13 And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
Bilo jih je pa več kakor štirideset, kteri so se bili tako zakleli.
14 Who came to the chief priests and the ancients, and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul.
Ti pristopijo k vélikim duhovnom in starešinam, in rekó: S prisego smo se zakleli, da ne bomo ničesar okusili, dokler Pavla ne ubijemo.
15 Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him.
Sedaj torej vi z zborom naznanite jezerniku, naj ga pripelje jutri k vam, kakor da bi hoteli kaj natančnijega zvedeti za njegove zadeve; a mi smo pripravljeni, da ga ubijemo, predno se približa.
16 Which when Paul’s sister’s son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.
Slišavši pa sin sestre Pavlove za to zalezovanje, pride in vnide v grad, in sporočí Pavlu.
17 And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune, for he hath some thing to tell him.
Poklicavši pa Pavel enega od stotnikov, reče: Tega mladeniča odpelji k jezerniku; kajti ima mu nekaj sporočiti.
18 And he taking him, brought him to the tribune, and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee.
On ga torej vzeme in pripelje k jezerniku, in reče: Jetnik Pavel me je poklical in prosil, naj tega mladeniča popeljem k tebi, kteri ima nekaj s teboj govoriti.
19 And the tribune taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately, and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me?
In jezernik ga prime za roko in odide na stran, in vpraševal je: Kaj je, kar mi imaš povedati?
20 And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring forth Paul tomorrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him.
Pa reče: Judje so se dogovorili, da te bodo prosili, da bi jutri pripeljal Pavla v zbor, kakor da bi hoteli kaj natančnijega izprašati za-nj.
21 But do not thou give credit to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat, nor to drink, till they have killed him: and they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee.
Ti jih pa ne poslušaj; kajti zalezuje ga izmed njih več kakor štirideset móž, kteri so se zarotili, da ne bodo ne jedli ne pili, dokler ga ne umoré; in sedaj so pripravljeni, in čakajo tvojega odgovora.
22 The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.
Tedaj jezernik mladeniča odpustí, naročivši mu, naj nikomur ne pové, da si mi to naznanil.
23 Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen for the third hour of the night:
In poklicavši dva stotnika, reče: Pripravita dve sto vojakov, da pojdejo do Cezareje, in sedemdeset konjikov, in dve sto strelcev, po tretjej uri nočí;
24 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
In pripeljejo naj živino, da Pavla posadé in zdravega pripeljejo k Feliksu, poglavarju.
25 (For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him, and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner:
In napiše pismo, ktero se je tako-le glasilo.
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
Klavdij Lizija pozdravlja častitega poglavarja Feliksa.
27 This man being taken by the Jews, and ready to be killed by them, I rescued coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman:
Tega moža so Judje zgrabili, in hoteli so ga umoriti; ali prišel sem z vojsko, in otél sem ga, ko sem zvedel, da je Rimljan.
28 And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
Hoteč pa zvedeti vzrok, za kaj ga tožijo, peljal sem ga v njih zbor.
29 Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.
In našel sem, da ga tožijo za vprašanja njih postave, da pa nima nobene krivice, za ktero bi bil vreden smrti ali vezî.
30 And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell.
Ko mi se je pa naznanil naklep, kterega so kovali Judje zoper tega moža, poslal sem precej k tebi sporočivši tudi tožnikom, naj pred teboj povedó, kar imajo zoper njega. Zdrav!
31 Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
Tedaj so vojaki, kakor jim se je bilo naročilo, Pavla vzeli in odpeljali po noči v Antipatrido.
32 And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
A drugi dan so se vrnili v grad, pustivši konjike, da so šli ž njim.
33 Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
Ti pa, ko so prišli v Cezarejo, oddali so pismo poglavarju, in postavili so Pavla pred-nj.
34 And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
Poglavar pa, ko je prebral in vprašal, iz ktere dežele da je, in je zvedel, da iz Cilicije:
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
Zaslišal te bom, reče, kedar tudi tožniki tvoji pridejo. In ukazal je, naj ga varujejo v dvoru Herodovem.
