Acts 23
1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
In Pavel, pogledavši na zbor, reče: Možjé bratje! jaz sem z vso dobro vestjó živel pred Bogom do današnjega dné.
2 The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who 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 will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”
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 Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
Tisti pa, kteri so zraven stali, rekó: Vélikega duhovna Božjega preklinjaš?
5 Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
Pa reče Pavel: Nisem vedel, bratje, da je véliki duhoven; pisano je namreč: "Poglavarja naroda svojega ne preklinjaj."
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”
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 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd 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, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
Kajti Saduceji pravijo, da ni vstajanja, in tudi angelja in duha ne; a Farizeji trdijo oboje.
9 A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”
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 When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them 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 stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify 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 When it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until 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 people who had made this conspiracy.
Bilo jih je pa več kakor štirideset, kteri so se bili tako zakleli.
14 They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great curse to taste nothing until 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 with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
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 they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
Slišavši pa sin sestre Pavlove za to zalezovanje, pride in vnide v grad, in sporočí Pavlu.
17 Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell 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 commanding officer and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell 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 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
In jezernik ga prime za roko in odide na stran, in vpraševal je: Kaj je, kar mi imaš povedati?
20 He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning 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 Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from 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 commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
Tedaj jezernik mladeniča odpustí, naročivši mu, naj nikomur ne pové, da si mi to naznanil.
23 He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred men armed with spears, at 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 He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
In pripeljejo naj živino, da Pavla posadé in zdravega pripeljejo k Feliksu, poglavarju.
25 He wrote a letter like this:
In napiše pismo, ktero se je tako-le glasilo.
26 “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
Klavdij Lizija pozdravlja častitega poglavarja Feliksa.
27 “This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was 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 Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
Hoteč pa zvedeti vzrok, za kaj ga tožijo, peljal sem ga v njih zbor.
29 I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of 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 When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. 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 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Tedaj so vojaki, kakor jim se je bilo naročilo, Pavla vzeli in odpeljali po noči v Antipatrido.
32 But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
A drugi dan so se vrnili v grad, pustivši konjike, da so šli ž njim.
33 When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
Ti pa, ko so prišli v Cezarejo, oddali so pismo poglavarju, in postavili so Pavla pred-nj.
34 When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
Poglavar pa, ko je prebral in vprašal, iz ktere dežele da je, in je zvedel, da iz Cilicije:
35 “I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
Zaslišal te bom, reče, kedar tudi tožniki tvoji pridejo. In ukazal je, naj ga varujejo v dvoru Herodovem.
