Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
In šla sta skozi Amfipolj in Apolonijo, in prišla sta v Solun, kjer je bilo shajališče Judovsko.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
In Pavel vnide po navadi k njim, in razgovarjal se je ž njimi tri sobote 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.”
Razkladajoč in dokazujoč, da je bilo treba, da je Kristus trpel in vstal od mrtvih, in da ta Jezus, kterega vam jaz oznanjujem, je 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 nekteri od njih so verovali, in pridružili so se Pavlu in Silu, in od pobožnih Grkov velika množica, in imenitnih žen ne malo.
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.
Ali trdovratni Judje so zavidali, in privzemši nekaj hudobnih móž izmed drhali, in zbravši trumo, nadražili so mesto; in obstopili so hišo Jazonovo, in iskali so ju, da bi ju izpeljali pred ljudstvo.
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 ju pa niso našli, povlečejo Jazona in nektere brate pred starešine mestne, vpijoč: Ti, ki so ves svet razdražili, ti so tudi sèm prišli;
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
Ktere je sprejel Jazon; in ti vsi delajo zoper cesarjeve zapovedi govoreč, da je nekdo drugi kralj, Jezus.
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
In razdražili so ljudstvo in starešine mestne, kteri so to poslušali.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
In ko so bili prejeli zadostenje od Jazona in drugih, pustili so jih.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Bratje pa naglo po noči odpravijo Pavla in Sila v Berejo; in ko tje prideta, odideta v shajališče Judovsko.
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 pa blagosrčniji od Solunskih; ti so sprejeli besedo z vsem poželenjem, in vsak dan so preiskovali pisma, če je to tako.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
In tako jih je veliko od njih verovalo, in poštenih Grških žen in móž 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.
Ko so pa Judje Solunski zvedeli, da tudi v Bereji oznanjuje Pavel besedo Božjo, pridejo tudi tje, in vzdignejo ljudstvo.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
Ali bratje so tedaj Pavla naglo odpravili, da je šel v primorje; a Sila in Timotej sta 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.
Ti pa, kteri so bili Pavla spremili, pripeljali so ga do Aten; in ko so prejeli sporočilo do Sila in Timoteja, naj bi kar najhitreje prišla k njemu, vrnili so se.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Ko ju je pa Pavel v Atenah čakal, vname se duh njegov v njem, ko je videl, da je mesto malikovanju udano;
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.
In razgovarjal se je v shajališči z Judi in pobožnimi, in na trgu vsak dan s tistimi, na ktere je naletel.
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.
Nekteri od Epikurejskih in Stojskih modrijanov so so pa prepirali ž njim; in eni so govorili: Kaj hoče ta kvasé povedati? a drugi: Zdi se, da je oznanjevalec tujih bogov: ker jim je Jezusa in vstajanje oznanjeval.
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 vzemó ga in odpeljejo na Areopag, govoreč: Moremo li zvedeti, kakošen je ta novi nauk, kterega ti oznanjuješ?
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
Kajti nekaj novega nam nosiš v ušesa; za to hočemo zvedeti, kaj če to biti.
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.
(Vsi Atenjani pa in tujci, kteri so prihajali, niso imeli drugega opraviti, nego kaj novega pripovedovati ali poslušati.)
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.
Pavel pa, vstopivši se sredi Areopaga, reče: Možjé Atenjani! po vsem vas vidim, da ste nekako preverni.
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.
Ko sem namreč prehajal in ogledoval svetišča vaša, našel sem tudi oltar, na kterem je bilo napisano: Nepoznanemu bogu. Kogar torej častite, da si ravno ga ne poznate, tega vam jaz oznanjujem.
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, kteri je ustvaril svet in vse, kar je v njem, ta, ki je gospodar neba in zemlje, ne prebiva v tempeljnih, kteri so z rokami narejeni;
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.
In ne streže mu se s človeškimi rokami, kakor da bi česa potreboval, ko sam daje vsem življenje in dihanje in vse;
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 ustvaril iz ene krví ves rod človeški, da prebiva po vsem licu zemlje, in je odločil odmenjene čase in meje njih 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, ne bi li ga kako otipali ali našli; da si ravno ni daleč od nobenega od 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 smo; kakor so tudi nekteri pesnikov vaših rekli: "Kajti tudi rodú njegovega smo."
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.
Ker smo torej Božjega rodú, ne smemo misliti, da je božanstvo enako zlatu ali srebru ali kamenu, izrezanemu po umetnosti in izmišljenji človekovem.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Bog torej, ne gledajoč na čase nevednosti, oznanjuje sedaj vsem ljudém povsodi, naj delajo pokoro;
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.”
Zato, ker je postavil dan, ko bo sodil ves svet po pravici, po možu, kterega je odločil, podavši vero vsem s tem, da 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 so pa slišali vstajanje mrtvih, nekteri so se posmehovati, a drugi so rekli: O tem te bomo drugoč slišali.
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
In tako je odšel Pavel izmed njih.
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
A nekteri možjé so mu se pridružili in so verovali; med kterimi je bil Dionizij Areopagitski, in žena po imenu Damara, in drugi ž njima.
