Acts 23
1 Then Paul, fixing a steady gaze on the Sanhedrin, said, "Brethren, it is with a perfectly clear conscience that I have discharged my duties before God up to this day."
In Pavel, pogledavši na zbor, reče: Možjé bratje! jaz sem z vso dobro vestjó živel pred Bogom do današnjega dné.
2 On hearing this the High Priest Ananias ordered those who were standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
Véliki duhoven Ananija pa ukaže tistim, kteri so pri njem stali, naj ga udarijo po ustih.
3 "Before long," exclaimed Paul, "God will strike you, you white-washed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me in accordance with the Law, and do you yourself actually break the Law by ordering 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 "Do you rail at God's High Priest?" cried the men who stood by him.
Tisti pa, kteri so zraven stali, rekó: Vélikega duhovna Božjega preklinjaš?
5 "I did not know, brethren," replied Paul, "that he was the High Priest; for it is written, 'Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of Thy people.'"
Pa reče Pavel: Nisem vedel, bratje, da je véliki duhoven; pisano je namreč: "Poglavarja naroda svojega ne preklinjaj."
6 Noticing, however, that the Sanhedrin consisted partly of Sadducees and partly of Pharisees, he called out loudly among them, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. It is because of my hope of a resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial."
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 These words of his caused an angry dispute between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly took different sides.
Ko je pa to rekel, nastane razpor med Farizeji in Saduceji, in množica se razdelí.
8 For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of both.
Kajti Saduceji pravijo, da ni vstajanja, in tudi angelja in duha ne; a Farizeji trdijo oboje.
9 So there arose a great uproar; and some of the Scribes belonging to the sect of the Pharisees sprang to their feet and fiercely contended, saying, "We find no harm in the man. What if a spirit has 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 But when the struggle was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by the people, ordered the troops to go down and take him from among them by force and bring him into the barracks.
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 The following night the Lord came and stood at Paul's side, and said, "Be of good courage, for as you have borne faithful witness about me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in 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 Now, when daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and solemnly swore not to eat or drink till they had 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 There were more than forty of them who bound themselves by this oath.
Bilo jih je pa več kakor štirideset, kteri so se bili tako zakleli.
14 They went to the High Priests and Elders and said to them, "We have bound ourselves under a heavy curse to take no food till we have killed 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 you and the Sanhedrin should make representations to the Tribune for him to bring him down to you, under the impression that you intend to inquire more minutely about him; and we are prepared to assassinate him before he comes near the place."
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 But Paul's sister's son heard of the intended attack upon him. So he came and went into the barracks and told Paul about it;
Slišavši pa sin sestre Pavlove za to zalezovanje, pride in vnide v grad, in sporočí Pavlu.
17 and Paul called one of the Captains and said, "Take this young man to the Tribune, for he has information to give him."
Poklicavši pa Pavel enega od stotnikov, reče: Tega mladeniča odpelji k jezerniku; kajti ima mu nekaj sporočiti.
18 So he took him and brought him to the Tribune, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me to him and begged me to bring this youth to you, because he has something to say to you."
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 Then the Tribune, taking him by the arm, withdrew out of the hearing of others and asked him, "What have you to tell me?"
In jezernik ga prime za roko in odide na stran, in vpraševal je: Kaj je, kar mi imaš povedati?
20 "The Jews," he replied, "have agreed to request you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin to-morrow for the purpose of making yourself more accurately acquainted with the case.
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 I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him; and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving that promise of you."
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 So the Tribune sent the youth home, cautioning him. "Do not let any one know that you have given me this information," he said.
Tedaj jezernik mladeniča odpustí, naročivši mu, naj nikomur ne pové, da si mi to naznanil.
23 Then, calling to him two of the Captains, he gave his orders. "Get ready two hundred men," he said, "to march to Caesarea, with seventy cavalry and two hundred light infantry, starting at nine o'clock to-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 He further told them to provide horses to mount Paul on, so as to bring him safely to Felix the Governor.
In pripeljejo naj živino, da Pavla posadé in zdravega pripeljejo k Feliksu, poglavarju.
25 He also wrote a letter of which these were the contents:
In napiše pismo, ktero se je tako-le glasilo.
26 "Claudius Lysias to his Excellency, Felix the Governor: all good wishes.
Klavdij Lizija pozdravlja častitega poglavarja Feliksa.
27 This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and they were on the point of killing him, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, for I had been informed that he was a Roman citizen.
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, wishing to know with certainty the offense of which they were accusing him, I brought him down into their Sanhedrin,
Hoteč pa zvedeti vzrok, za kaj ga tožijo, peljal sem ga v njih zbor.
29 and I discovered that the charge had to do with questions of their Law, but that he was accused of nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment.
In našel sem, da ga tožijo za vprašanja njih postave, da pa nima nobene krivice, za ktero bi bil vreden smrti ali vezî.
30 But now that I have received information of an intended attack upon him, I immediately send him to you, directing his accusers also to state before you the case they have against him."
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 So, in obedience to their orders, the soldiers took Paul and brought him by night as far as Antipatris.
Tedaj so vojaki, kakor jim se je bilo naročilo, Pavla vzeli in odpeljali po noči v Antipatrido.
32 The next day the infantry returned to the barracks, leaving the cavalry to proceed with him;
A drugi dan so se vrnili v grad, pustivši konjike, da so šli ž njim.
33 and, the cavalry having reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, they brought Paul also to him.
Ti pa, ko so prišli v Cezarejo, oddali so pismo poglavarju, in postavili so Pavla pred-nj.
34 Felix, after reading the letter, inquired from what province he was; and being told "from Cilicia,"
Poglavar pa, ko je prebral in vprašal, iz ktere dežele da je, in je zvedel, da iz Cilicije:
35 he said, "I will hear all you have to say, when your accusers also have come." And he ordered him to be detained in custody in Herod's Palace.
Zaslišal te bom, reče, kedar tudi tožniki tvoji pridejo. In ukazal je, naj ga varujejo v dvoru Herodovem.
