Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
Zgodí se pa, ko je bil Apolo v Korintu, da Pavel, prehodivši gorenje strani, pride v Efez; in ko je našel nekaj učencev,
2 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
Reče jim: Ali ste prejeli Duha svetega, ko ste postali verni? Oni mu pa rekó: Saj še slišali nismo, da je sveti Duh.
3 He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
In reče jim: Na kaj torej ste se krstili? Oni pa rekó: Na krst Janezov.
4 Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
Pavel pa reče: Janez je krstil s krstom spokore, govoreč ljudstvu, da naj verujejo v tega, kteri bo za njim prišel, to je v Kristusa Jezusa.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Ko so pa to slišali, krstili so se v ime Gospoda Jezusa.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
In ko je položil Pavel roke na-nje, prišel je sveti Duh na-nje, in govorili so jezike in prerokovali.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
Bilo je pa vseh móž kakih dvanajst.
8 He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.
In ko je prišel v shajališče, govoril je srčno, tri mesece prepirajoč se in učeč o kraljestvu Božjem.
9 But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
Ko so bili pa nekteri otrpneli in niso hoteli pokorni biti, hudo govoreč o potu Gospodovem pred množico, odstopil je od njih, in odločil je učence, in učil je vsak dan v šoli nekega Tirana.
10 This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
In to se je godilo dve leti, tako, da so vsi, kteri so prebivali v Aziji, slišali besedo Gospoda Jezusa, Judje in Grki.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
In čudeže ne majhne je delal Bog po rokah Pavlovih;
12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
Tako, da so na bolnike pokladali potne prte od života njegovega in opasnike, in puščale so jih bolezni, in duhovi hudobni so izhajali iž njih.
13 But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
In izkušali so nekteri izmed Judov, kteri so okrog hodili in hudiče rotili, klicati na tiste, kteri so imeli duhove hudobne, ime Gospoda Jezusa, govoreč: Zaklinjamo vas pri Jezusu, kterega Pavel oznanjuje.
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Bilo je pa nekih sedem sinov Skeve Juda, vélikega duhovna, kteri so to delali.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
Odgovarjajoč pa duh hudobni, reče: Jezusa poznam, in Pavla vém; vi pa, kdo ste?
16 The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
In skočivši človek, v kterem je bil duh hudobni, na-nje, premagal jih je, in zdelal jih je tako, da so nagi in ranjeni ubežali iz tiste hiše.
17 This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
To je pa prišlo na znanje vsem Judom in Grkom, kteri so prebivali v Efezu; in obšel jih je strah vse, in poveličevalo se je ime Gospoda Jezusa.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
In mnogo teh, kteri so verovali, dohajalo je in izpovedovali so se, in razodevali so dela svoja.
19 Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
A mnogi tistih, kteri so uganjali vraže, znesli so bukve, in sežgali so jih pred vsemi; in ko so preudarili njih ceno, našli so, da so veljale petdeset tisoči srebrnikov.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Tako krepko je beseda Božja rastla in utrjevala se.
21 Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
A ko se je to dopolnilo, nameni Pavel v duhu, da prehodivši Macedonijo in Ahajo, pojde v Jeruzalem, in reče: Po tem, ko bom tam, moram tudi Rim videti.
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
In poslal je v Macedonijo dva od tistih, kteri so mu služili, Timoteja in Erasta; a sam je ostal nekaj časa v Aziji.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Vstal je pa v ta čas ne majhen hrup za voljo pota Gospodovega.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Neki Demetrij namreč po imenu, srebrar, ki je delal Dijani srebrne cerkvice, dajal je umetnikom ne malo dela;
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
In sklicavši te, in druge takošne delalce, reče: Možjé! véste, da imamo od tega dela zaslužek svoj;
26 You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.
In vidite in slišite, da ne samo v Efezu, nego skoro po vsej Aziji je ta Pavel veliko ljudstva pregovoril in odvrnil, govoreč, da bogovi, kteri so z rokami narejeni, niso bogovi.
27 Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
Ni pa samo to v nevarnosti, da bo delo naše na nič prišlo, nego tudi vélike boginje Dijane tempelj se bo za nič štel, in poginilo bo veličastvo te, ktero vsa Azija in ves svet častí.
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Ko so pa to slišali, napolnijo se jeze, in kričali so, govoreč: Velika je Dijana Efežanov!
29 The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
In napolni se vse mesto zmešnjave; in zaženó se enodušno na gledališče, in zgrabijo Gaja in Aristarha, Macedonca tovariša Pavlova.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
Ko je pa Pavel hotel vniti med ljudstvo, niso mu pustili.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
Pa tudi nekteri od Azijskih poglavarjev, kteri so mu bili prijatelji, poslali so k njemu, in prosili so ga, naj se ne podá v gledališče.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.
Vpili so pa eni to, drugi drugo; kajti bil je zbor poln zmešnjave, in največ jih je bilo med njimi, kteri niso vedeli, po kaj so se sešli.
33 They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
A nekteri izmed ljudstva so izvlekli Aleksandra, ko so ga Judje naprej tiščali; Aleksander pa zamahme z rokó, da naj umolknejo, in hotel je ljudstvu odgovoriti.
34 But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Ko so pa spoznali, da je Jud, vzdignejo vsi en glas, in vpili so kaki dve uri: Velika je Dijana Efežanov!
35 When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
Pisar pa, ko je ljudstvo upokojil, reče: Možjé Efežani! kdo pa je človek, kteri ne vé, da mesto Efežanov častí véliko boginjo Dijano in od Jupiterja padlo podobo?
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
Ker se torej to ne more tajiti, treba je, da se umirite, in ne delate nič naglo.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Kajti pripeljali ste te ljudí, kteri niso ne tempeljna oropali, ne boginje vaše preklinjali.
38 If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
Če imajo pa Demetrij in umetniki, kteri so ž njim, tožbo zoper koga, sodnije so, in namestniki so; naj tožijo eden drugega.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Če pa kaj drugega iščete, obravnalo se bo v postavnem zboru.
40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”
Kajti v nevarnosti smo, da bomo zatoženi za voljo današnjega punta, ko nimamo nobenega vzroka, s kterim bi mogli odgovor dati za ta hrup.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
In rekši to, razpustil je zbor.
