Apostolska dela 8
1 In Savel je privolil v njegovo smrt. In ob tistem času je bilo tam veliko preganjanje zoper cerkev, ki je bila v Jeruzalemu; in vsi, razen apostolov, so bili razkropljeni povsod po vseh področjih Judeje in Samarije.
And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 In predani možje so Štefana odnesli k njegovemu pokopu ter za njim pripravili veliko objokovanje.
And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 Toda Savel je napravil veliko opustošenje cerkve, ko je vstopal v vsako hišo in vlačil [ven] moške in ženske ter jih zapiral v ječo.
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 Zaradi tega so tisti, ki so bili razkropljeni naokoli, odšli povsod in oznanjali besedo.
Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. (logos)
5 Potem je Filip odšel dol v samarijsko mesto in jim oznanil Kristusa.
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 In množica je soglasno dala pozornost tem stvarem, ki jih je Filip govoril in poslušala ter gledala čudeže, ki jih je delal.
And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 Kajti nečisti duhovi so kričê, z močnim glasom prihajali iz mnogih, ki so bili z njimi obsedeni. In mnogi prevzeti s paralizo ter tisti, ki so bili hromi, so bili ozdravljeni.
For unclean spirits, (pneuma) crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 In v tistem mestu je bila velika radost.
And there was great joy in that city.
9 Vendar je bil tam nek mož, imenovan Simon, ki je poprej v istem mestu uporabljal čaranje in privlačil pogane iz Samarije ter objavljal, da je bil on sam nekaj velikega,
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which in time past in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
10 ki so mu vsi posvetili pozornost, od najmanjših do največjih, rekoč: »Ta mož je velika Božja moč.«
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 In ozirali so se nanj, zato ker jih je že dolgo časa privlačil s svojimi čarodejstvi.
And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12 Toda ko so verovali Filipu, ki je oznanjal besede glede Božjega kraljestva in ime Jezusa Kristusa, so bili krščeni, tako moški kakor ženske.
But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Potem je tudi sam Simon veroval; in ko je bil krščen, je ostal s Filipom in se čudil ter gledal čudeže in znamenja, ki so bila storjena.
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14 Ko so torej apostoli, ki so bili v Jeruzalemu, slišali, da je Samarija sprejela Božjo besedo, so jim poslali Petra in Janeza,
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word (logos) of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 ki sta, ko sta prišla dol, molila zanje, da bi mogli prejeti Svetega Duha
Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: (pneuma)
16 (kajti do takrat še ni padel na nobenega izmed njih. Bili so samo krščeni v imenu Gospoda Jezusa.)
(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Tedaj sta nanje polagala svoje roke in prejemali so Svetega Duha.
Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
18 In ko je Simon videl, da je bil Sveti Duh dan po polaganju rok apostolov, jima je ponudil denar,
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit (pneuma) was given, he offered them money,
19 rekoč: »Dajta tudi meni to moč, da na kogarkoli položim roke, bo lahko prejel Svetega Duha.«
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
20 Vendar mu je Peter rekel: »Tvoj denar naj propade s teboj, ker si pomislil, da se Božji dar lahko kupi z denarjem.
But Peter said unto him, Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Ti nimaš niti vloge niti deleža v tej stvari, kajti tvoje srce ni iskreno v Božjih očeh.
You have neither part nor lot in this matter: (logos) for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Pokesaj se torej od te svoje zlobnosti in prosi Boga, če ti bo mogoče lahko odpuščena misel tvojega srca.
Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
23 Kajti zaznavam, da si v žolču grenkobe in v vezi krivičnosti.«
For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Potem je Simon odgovoril in rekel: »Prosita zame h Gospodu, da nobena izmed teh stvari, ki sta jih govorila, ne pride nadme.«
Then answered Simon, and said, Pray all of you to the LORD for me, that none of these things which all of you have spoken come upon me.
25 In onadva, ko sta pričevala in oznanila Gospodovo besedo, sta se vrnila v Jeruzalem ter v mnogih vaseh Samarije oznanila evangelij.
And they, when they had testified and preached the word (logos) of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Gospodov angel pa je spregovoril Filipu, rekoč: »Vstani in pojdi proti jugu, na pot, ki gre dol iz Jeruzalema v Gazo, ki je zapuščena.«
And the angel of the Lord spoke unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goes down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27 In vstal je ter odšel. In glej, človek iz Etiopije, evnuh z veliko oblastjo pod Kandáko, kraljico Etiopijcev, ki je imel skrb za vso njeno zakladnico in je prišel v Jeruzalem, da bi oboževal,
And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem in order to worship,
28 se je vračal in sedé na svoji kočiji bral preroka Izaija.
Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Isaiah the prophet.
29 Potem je Duh rekel Filipu: »Pojdi poleg in se pridruži tej kočiji.«
Then the Spirit (pneuma) said unto Philip, Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.
30 In Filip je stekel tja k njemu in ga slišal brati preroka Izaija ter rekel: »Razumeš, kaj bereš?«
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understand you what you read?
31 In rekel je: »Kako bi lahko, razen če me ne bi vodil nek človek?« In prosil je Filipa, da pride gor in se usede z njim.
And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 Mesto iz pisma, ki ga je bral, je bilo to: ›Odveden je bil kakor ovca h klanju; in kakor je jagnje pred svojim strižcem nemo, tako on ni odprl svojih ust.
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 V njegovem ponižanju je bila njegova sodba odstranjena in kdo bo razglašal njegov rod? Kajti njegovo življenje je vzeto z zemlje.‹
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 In evnuh je odgovoril Filipu ter rekel: »Prosim te, o kom govori to prerok? O sebi ali nekem drugem človeku?«
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Potem je Filip odprl svoja usta in začel pri istem pismu in mu oznanil Jezusa.
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 In medtem ko sta nadaljevala po njuni poti, sta prišla do neke vode, in evnuh je rekel: »Poglej, tukaj je voda, kaj mi preprečuje biti krščen?«
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what does hinder me to be baptized?
37 In Filip je rekel: »Če veruješ z vsem svojim srcem, smeš.« In ta je odgovoril ter rekel: »Verujem, da je Jezus Kristus Božji Sin.«
And Philip said, If you believe with all of your heart, you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 In velel je kočiji, da se ustavi. In skupaj sta odšla dol v vodo, tako Filip kakor evnuh; in ga je krstil.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 In ko sta se povzpela iz vode, je Gospodov Duh Filipa vzel, da ga evnuh ni več videl in ta je radosten odšel na svojo pot.
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit (pneuma) of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Toda Filip se je znašel pri Ašdódu. In ko je potoval skozi, je v vseh mestih oznanjal, dokler ni prišel do Cezareje.
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
