Acts 7
1 The high priest said, “Are these things so?”
Potem je véliki duhovnik rekel: »Ali so te stvari take?«
2 He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
In rekel je: »Možje, bratje in očetje, prisluhnite: ›Bog slave se je prikazal našemu očetu Abrahamu, ko je bil v Mezopotamiji, preden je prebival v Haránu
3 and said to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’
in mu rekel: ›Pojdi ven iz svoje dežele in iz svojega sorodstva ter pridi v deželo, ki ti jo bom pokazal.‹‹
4 Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land where you are now living.
Tedaj je prišel iz kaldejske dežele in prebival v Haránu; ko pa je bil njegov oče mrtev, se je od tam odpravil v to deželo, v kateri vi sedaj prebivate.
5 He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when he still had no child.
V njej pa mu ni dal nobene dediščine niti toliko ne, da nanjo postavi svoje stopalo, vendar je obljubil, da mu jo bo dal v posest in njegovemu semenu za njim, ko takrat še ni imel otroka.
6 God spoke in this way: that his offspring would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.
In Bog je govoril na ta način: ›Da naj bi njegovo seme začasno bivalo v tuji deželi in da naj bi jih privedli v suženjstvo ter štiristo let z njimi hudobno ravnali.
7 ‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that they will come out and serve me in this place.’
Narodu pa, pri katerem bodo suženjevali, bom sodil jaz, ‹ je rekel Bog: ›in potem bodo prišli ter mi služili na tem kraju.‹
8 He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
In dal mu je zavezo obrezovanja. In tako je Abraham zaplodil Izaka in ga osmi dan obrezal; in Izak je zaplodil Jakoba; in Jakob je zaplodil dvanajstere očake.
9 “The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him
In očaki so, prevzeti z zavistjo, Jožefa prodali v Egipt. Toda Bog je bil z njim
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
in ga osvobodil iz vseh njegovih stisk in mu dal naklonjenost ter modrost v očeh faraona, egiptovskega kralja in ga naredil za voditelja nad Egiptom ter vso svojo hišo.
11 Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.
Torej nad vso egiptovsko deželo in Kánaan je prišlo pomanjkanje in velika stiska in naši očetje niso našli hrane.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
Toda ko je Jakob slišal, da je bilo v Egiptu žito, je najprej odposlal naše očete.
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh.
In ob drugi priložnosti se je Jožef dal spoznati svojim bratom; in Jožefovo sorodstvo je bilo predstavljeno faraonu.
14 Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
Potem je Jožef odposlal in k sebi poklical svojega očeta Jakoba in vse njegovo sorodstvo, petinsedemdeset duš.
15 Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers;
Tako je Jakob odšel dol v Egipt ter umrl, on in naši očetje
16 and they were brought back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.
in bili so preneseni preko v Sihem in položeni v mavzolej, ki ga je Abraham kupil za vsoto denarja od sinov Hemórja, očeta iz Sihema.
17 “But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Toda ko se je približal obljubljeni čas, ki ga je Bog prisegel Abrahamu, so ljudje v Egiptu rasli in se množili,
18 until there arose a different king who didn’t know Joseph.
dokler ni vstal drug kralj, ki ni poznal Jožefa.
19 The same took advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to abandon their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.
Ta isti je z našim sorodstvom premeteno ravnal in hudobno tretiral naše očete, tako da so izpostavili svoje majhne otroke, z namenom, da ne bi živeli.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.
V tem času je bil rojen Mojzes, bil pa je silno lep in tri mesece so ga vzgajali v hiši njegovega očeta.
21 When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.
Ko pa je bil izpostavljen, ga je vzela faraonova hči in ga vzgojila za svojega lastnega sina.
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
In Mojzes je bil izučen v vsej egipčanski modrosti in mogočen je bil v besedah in dejanjih.
23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
Ko je bil star polnih štirideset let, je prišlo v njegovo srce, da obišče svoje brate, Izraelove otroke.
24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
In ko je videl enega izmed njih krivično trpeti, ga je branil in maščeval tega, ki je bil zatiran ter ubil Egipčana,
25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.
kajti domneval je, da bodo njegovi bratje razumeli, kako jih hoče Bog po njegovi roki osvoboditi. Toda niso razumeli.
26 “The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?’
In medtem ko so se prepirali, se jim je naslednji dan pokazal ter jih ponovno skušal pomiriti, rekoč: ›Možje, vi ste bratje; zakaj drug drugemu delate krivico?‹
27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
Toda tisti, ki je svojemu bližnjemu storil krivico, ga je odrinil proč, rekoč: ›Kdo te je naredil za vladarja in sodnika nad nami?
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
Ali me hočeš ubiti, kakor si včeraj storil Egipčanu?‹
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Ob tej besedi je Mojzes pobegnil in bil tujec v midjánski deželi, kjer je zaplodil dva sinova.
30 “When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
Ko pa je preteklo štirideset let, se mu je v divjini Sinajske gore prikazal Gospodov angel v plamenu gorečega grma.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,
Ko je Mojzes to videl, se je čudil prizoru. Ko pa se je približal, da bi to pogledal, je prišel do njega Gospodov glas,
32 ‘I am the God of your fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Moses trembled and dared not look.
rekoč: ›Jaz sem Bog tvojih očetov, Bog Abrahamov in Bog Izakov in Bog Jakobov.‹ Potem je Mojzes trepetal in si ni drznil pogledati.
33 The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
Nato mu je Gospod rekel: ›Sezuj si svoje čevlje s svojih stopal, kajti kraj, kjer stojiš, je sveta zemlja.
34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’
Videl sem, videl sem stisko svojih ljudi, ki so v Egiptu in slišal sem njihovo stokanje in sem prišel dol, da jih osvobodim. In sedaj pridi, poslal te bom v Egipt.‹
35 “This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Tega Mojzesa, ki so ga zavrnili, rekoč: ›Kdo te je naredil vladarja in sodnika?‹ istega je Bog poslal, da bi bil vladar in osvoboditelj po roki angela, ki se mu je prikazal v grmu.
36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
Potem ko je v egiptovski deželi in v Rdečem morju ter v divjini štirideset let prikazoval čudeže in znamenja, jih je privedel ven.
37 This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me.’
To je ta Mojzes, ki je Izraelovim otrokom rekel: ›Preroka vam bo Gospod, vaš Bog, obudil izmed vaših bratov, podobnega meni; njega boste poslušali.‹
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,
To je tisti, ki je bil v cerkvi v divjini z angelom, ki je govoril z njim na Sinajski gori in z našimi očeti; ki je prejel žive prerokbe, da jih izroči nam;
39 to whom our fathers wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
katerega naši očetje niso hoteli ubogati, temveč so ga pahnili od sebe in se v svojih srcih ponovno obrnili nazaj v Egipt,
40 saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
rekoč Aronu: ›Naredi nam bogove, da gredo pred nami, kajti glede tega Mojzesa, ki nas je privedel iz egiptovske dežele, ne vemo, kaj je nastalo iz njega.‹
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
In v tistih dneh so naredili tele in maliku darovali žrtev ter se veselili v delih svojih lastnih rok.
42 But God turned away and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Potem se je Bog obrnil in jih predal, da obožujejo vojsko neba; kakor je pisano v knjigi prerokov: ›Oh hiša Izraelova ali ste meni darovali zaklane živali in žrtve v obdobju štiridesetih let v divjini?
43 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship, so I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
Da, vzeli ste Molohov šotor in zvezdo svojega boga Rajfána, kipe, ki ste jih naredili, da bi jih oboževali; jaz pa vas bom odvedel onstran Babilona.‹
44 “Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
Naši očetje so imeli v divjini šotorsko svetišče pričevanja, kakor je določil on, govoreč Mojzesu, da naj ga naredi glede na videz, ki ga je videl.
45 which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations whom God drove out before the face of our fathers to the days of David,
Katerega so tudi naši očetje, ki so prišli kasneje, vnesli z Jezusom na posest poganov, ki jih je Bog pregnal izpred obličja naših očetov do Davidovih dni;
46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
ki je našel naklonjenost pred Bogom in si želel najti šotorsko svetišče za Jakobovega Boga.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Toda Salomon mu je zgradil hišo.
48 However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
Vendar Najvišji ne prebiva v templjih, zgrajenimi z rokami; kakor pravi prerok:
49 ‘heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?’ says the Lord. ‘Or what is the place of my rest?
›Nebesa so moj prestol in zemlja je moja pručka. Kakšno hišo mi hočete zgraditi?‹ govori Gospod: ›Ali kaj je prostor mojega počitka?
50 Didn’t my hand make all these things?’
Ali ni vse te stvari naredila moja roka?‹
51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
Vi trdovratni in neobrezani v srcu in ušesih, vi se vedno upirate Svetemu Duhu. Kakor so počeli vaši očetje, tako počnete vi.
52 Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
Katerega izmed prerokov vaši očetje niso preganjali? In umorili so te, ki so vnaprej kazali na prihod Pravičnega, katerega izdajalci in morilci ste bili sedaj vi,
53 You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”
ki ste po uredbi angelov prejeli postavo, pa se je niste držali.«
54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
Ko so slišali te besede, so bili zarezani do srca in s svojimi zobmi so škripali proti njemu.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Toda on je, poln Svetega Duha, neomajno gledal gor v nebesa in videl Božjo slavo ter Jezusa stati na Božji desnici.
56 and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
In rekel: »Glejte, nebesa vidim odprta in Sina človekovega stati na Božji desnici.«
57 But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.
Tedaj so z močnim glasom zakričali in zamašili svoja ušesa ter soglasno stekli nadenj
58 They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
in ga vrgli iz mesta ter ga kamnali. Priče pa so svoja oblačila položile k stopalom mladeniča, katerega ime je bilo Savel.
59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
In kamnali so Štefana, ki je klical k Bogu ter govoril: »Gospod Jezus, sprejmi mojega duha.«
60 He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
In pokleknil je ter z močnim glasom zaklical: »Gospod, tega greha jim ne položi na njihovo obtožnico.« In ko je to rekel, je zaspal.
