Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Torej ko je Fest prišel v provinco, se je po treh dneh povzpel iz Cezareje v Jeruzalem.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
Potem sta ga véliki duhovnik in judovski voditelj poučila zoper Pavla in ga rotila
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
ter zoper njega želela naklonjenosti, da bi ga dal poslati v Jeruzalem, prežeč na poti, da ga ubijejo.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Toda Fest je odgovoril, da naj bo Pavel čuvan v Cezareji in da bo sam v kratkem odšel tja.
5 “Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
»Naj torej tisti, « je rekel, »ki so med vami zmožni, odidejo z menoj dol in tega moža obtožijo, če je v njem kakršnakoli zlobnost.«
6 When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
In ko se je med njimi mudil več kot deset dni, je odšel dol v Cezarejo; in naslednji dan je sedeč na sodnem stolu zapovedal, naj pripeljejo Pavla.
7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
In ko je ta prišel, so naokoli stali Judje, ki so prišli dol iz Jeruzalema in zoper Pavla vložili mnoge in boleče ovadbe, ki jih niso mogli dokazati.
8 while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”
Medtem se je zagovarjal: »Niti zoper judovsko postavo, niti zoper tempelj, niti zoper cesarja nisem čisto nič zagrešil.«
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”
Toda Fest je, voljan ustreči Judom, Pavlu odgovoril in rekel: »Hočeš iti gor v Jeruzalem in biti tam, pred menoj, sojen o teh stvareh?«
10 But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
Potem je Pavel rekel: »Pred cesarskim sodnim stolom stojim, kjer moram biti sojen. Judom nisem storil nobene krivice, kakor ti zelo dobro veš.
11 For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
Kajti če sem prestopnik ali sem zagrešil karkoli vrednega smrti, se ne branim umreti, toda če ni nobene od teh stvari, za katere me ti tožijo, me noben človek ne more izročiti njim. Na cesarja se sklicujem.«
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
Tedaj je Fest, ko se je posvetoval z zborom, odgovoril: »Na cesarja si se skliceval? K cesarju pojdeš.«
13 Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
In po nekaj dneh sta v Cezarejo prišla kralj Agripa in Bereníka, da pozdravita Festa.
14 As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
In ko sta bila tam mnogo dni, je Fest kralju razodel Pavlovo zadevo, rekoč: »Tukaj je nek mož, ki ga je Feliks pustil v vezeh,
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
o katerem so me, ko sem bil v Jeruzalemu, visoki duhovniki in judovski starešine obvestili, ker so proti njemu želeli imeti sodbo.
16 I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.
Katerim sem odgovoril: ›Rimljani nimajo navade kateregakoli človeka izročiti, da umre, preden se ta, ki je obtožen, ne sooči s tožniki in ima dovoljenje, da se brani glede zločina, vloženega zoper njega.‹
17 When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.
Torej ko so prišli sèm, sem brez kakršnegakoli odlašanja naslednji dan sédel na sodni stol in ukazal, da moža privedejo.
18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
Proti kateremu, ko so tožniki vstali, niso prinesli nobene obtožbe o takšnih stvareh, kakor sem predpostavljal,
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
temveč so imeli zoper njega neka vprašanja o njihovem lastnem praznoverju in o nekem Jezusu, ki je bil mrtev, o katerem je Pavel trdil, da živi.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
In ker sem dvomil o takšnem načinu zaslišanj, sem ga vprašal, ali bi odšel v Jeruzalem in bi bil tam sojen o teh stvareh.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”
Toda ko se je Pavel skliceval, da se zadrži za Avgustovo zaslišanje, sem ukazal, da ga stražijo, dokler ga ne pošljem k cesarju.«
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
Potem je Agripa rekel Festu: »Tudi sam bi rad slišal tega človeka.« »Naslednji dan, « je rekel, »ga boš slišal.«
23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
In naslednji dan, ko sta z velikim pompom prišla Agripa in Bereníka in vstopila na kraj zaslišanja z vrhovnimi poveljniki ter glavnimi možmi mesta, je bil na Festovo zapoved priveden Pavel.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
In Fest je rekel: »Kralj Agripa in vsi ljudje, ki ste z nami tukaj prisotni, vidite tega človeka, glede katerega se je vsa množica Judov pogajala z menoj, tako v Jeruzalemu kakor tudi tukaj in kričala, da ne bi smel več živeti.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,
Toda ko sem spoznal, da ni zagrešil ničesar vrednega smrti in da se je on sam skliceval na Avgusta, sem določil, da ga pošljem.
26 of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.
O katerem ne vem nobene zanesljive stvari, da napišem svojemu gospodu. In zato sem ga privedel pred vas in zlasti predte, oh kralj Agripa, da bi po zaslišanju lahko imel kaj napisati.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
Kajti zdi se mi nerazumno poslati jetnika in istočasno ne naznaniti zločinov, vloženih zoper njega.«
