Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Torej ko sta šla skozi Amfípolo in Apolonijo sta prišla do Tesaloníke, kjer je bila judovska sinagoga.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
In kakor je bila njegova navada, je Pavel vstopil k njim in tri šabatne dneve z njimi razpravljal iz pisem,
3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”
razkrival in trdil, da je Kristus brezpogojno moral trpeti in ponovno vstati od mrtvih in da je ta Jezus, ki vam ga oznanjam, Kristus.
4 Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
In nekateri izmed njih so verovali in se družili s Pavlom in Silom, in velika množica izmed predanih Grkov ter ne malo izmed vodilnih žensk.
5 But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
Toda Judje, ki niso verovali, so prevzeti z zavistjo, vzeli k sebi neke ničvredne pajdaše iz prostaške sorte in zbrali skupino in po vsem mestu zanetili vstajo ter napadli Jazonovo hišo in si prizadevali, da ju privedejo k ljudstvu [dežele].
6 When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
Ko pa ju niso našli, so Jazona in neke brate odvlekli k vladarjem mesta ter kričali: »Tile, ki so obrnili svet na glavo, so prišli tudi sèm,
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
ki jih je sprejel Jazon, in vsi ti delajo nasprotno cesarjevim odlokom, rekoč, da obstaja drug kralj, nek Jezus.«
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
In vznemirili so množico in mestne vladarje, ko so slišali te stvari.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
In ko so od Jazona in od drugih prejeli varščino, so jih izpustili.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
In bratje so Pavla ter Sila takoj ponoči odposlali v Berójo. Ko sta prispela tja, sta odšla v judovsko sinagogo.
11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
Ti so bili plemenitejši, kakor tisti v Tesaloníki, ker so z vso prisebnostjo sprejeli besedo in dnevno preiskovali pisma, če so bile te stvari take.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Zato so mnogi izmed njih verovali, tudi častitljive ženske, ki so bile Grkinje in izmed mož ne malo.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
Toda ko so Judje iz Tesaloníke spoznali, da je Pavel Božjo besedo oznanjal v Beróji, so prišli tudi tja in razvneli množico.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
In potem so bratje Pavla takoj odposlali, da gre, kot bi bilo k morju, toda Sila in Timótej sta še vedno ostala tam.
15 But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
In ti, ki so spremljali Pavla, so ga privedli v Atene in ko so prejeli zapoved za Sila in Timóteja, naj z vso naglico prideta k njemu, so odšli.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Torej medtem ko je Pavel v Atenah čakal nanju, je bil njegov duh v njem razvnet, ko je videl mesto v celoti predano malikovanju.
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
Zato se je v sinagogi prerekal z Judi in s predanimi osebami in vsakodnevno na trgu s temi, ki so se srečevali z njim.
18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
Potem so mu ugovarjali neki filozofi izmed epikurejcev in izmed stoikov. In nekateri so rekli: »Kaj hoče povedati ta blebetavec?« Drugi nekako: »Zdi se, da je oznanjevalec tujih bogov, « ker jim je oznanjal Jezusa in vstajenje.
19 They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
In prijeli so ga ter ga privedli na Areopag, rekoč: »Ali lahko izvemo, kakšen je ta novi nauk, o katerem govoriš?«
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
Kajti v naša ušesa prinašaš nekatere čudne besede. Hočemo torej izvedeti, kaj te stvari pomenijo.
21 Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
(Kajti vsi Atenci in tujci, ki so bili tam, svojega časa niso porabljali za nič drugega, razen da so ali govorili ali poslušali kako novo stvar.)
22 Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
Tedaj je Pavel na sredi Marsovega hriba vstal in rekel: » Vi atenski možje, zaznavam, da ste v vseh stvareh preveč vraževerni.
23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
Kajti ko sem šel mimo in gledal vaše predmete čaščenja, sem našel oltar s tem napisom: NEPOZNANEMU BOGU. Katerega torej vi nevedno obožujete, tega vam jaz razglašam.
24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.
Bog, ki je naredil svet in vse stvari na njem, glede na to, da je on Gospodar neba in zemlje, ne prebiva v templjih, narejenimi z rokami,
25 He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.
tudi ni oboževan s človeškimi rokami, kakor da karkoli potrebuje, glede na to, da vsem daje življenje in dihanje in vse stvari
26 He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
in je iz ene krvi naredil vse narode ljudi, da prebivajo na vsem obličju zemlje in je vnaprej določil določene čase in meje njihovega prebivanja,
27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
da bi iskali Gospoda, če bi ga morda dotipali in ga našli, čeprav ni daleč od vsakega izmed nas.
28 ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
Kajti v njem živimo in se gibljemo in obstajamo, kakor so rekli celó nekateri izmed vaših lastnih pesnikov: ›Kajti tudi mi smo njegovo potomstvo.‹
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
Kot smo torej zagotovo potomstvo Boga, ne bi smeli misliti, da je Božanstvo podobno zlatu ali srebru ali kamnu, vrezanemu od umetnika in [s] človeško pripravo.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
In nad časi te nevednosti je Bog zamižal, toda sedaj povsod vsem ljudem zapoveduje, da se pokesajo,
31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”
kajti določil je dan, na katerega bo sodil svet v pravičnosti, po tem možu, ki ga je določil. O tem je dal zagotovilo vsem ljudem, ker ga je obudil od mrtvih.«
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
Ko pa so slišali o vstajenju mrtvih, so se nekateri posmehovali, drugi pa so rekli: »Oh tej zadevi te bomo ponovno poslušali.«
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Tako je Pavel odšel izmed njih.
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Vendar so se mu določeni možje trdno pridružili in verovali, med katerimi je bil Dionizij Areopagít in ženska, po imenu Dámaris in drugi z njima.
