Apostolska dela 7
1 Tedaj reče véliki duhoven: Je li to tako?
“Are these allegations true?” the high priest asked.
2 On pa reče: Možjé bratje in očetje, poslušajte! Bog slave se je prikazal očetu našemu Abrahamu, ko je bil v Mezopotamiji, predno se je nastanil v Haranu,
“Brothers and fathers, listen to me!” Stephen replied. “God in his glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was living in Mesopotamia, before he moved to Haran.
3 In rekel mu je: "Izidi iz zemlje svoje, in od rodovine svoje, in pojdi v zemljo, ktero ti bom pokazal."
God told him, ‘Leave your country and your relatives, and go to the country that I'm going to show you.’
4 Tedaj je izšel iz zemlje Kaldejske, in nastanil se je v Haranu. In odtod, ko je bil oče njegov umrl, preselil ga je v zemljo, v kterej vi sedaj prebivate.
So he left the country of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran. After his father's death, God sent him here to this country where you now live.
5 In ni mu dal nasledstva v njej, ne za stopinjo noge; in obljubil jo je bil njemu dati v posest, in semenu njegovemu za njim, ko še ni imel sina.
God didn't give Abraham an inheritance here, not even one square foot. But God did promise Abraham that he would give him and his descendants possession of the land, even though he had no children.
6 Rekel pa je Bog tako: "Seme tvoje bo tuje v tujej zemlji, in podvrgli ga bodo sužnosti, in hudo bodo delali ž njim, štiri sto let.
God also told him that his descendants would live in a foreign country, and that they would be enslaved there, and would be mistreated for four hundred years.
7 In narod, kteremu bodo služili, sodil bom jaz," rekel je Bog; "in po tem bodo izšli, in služili bodo meni na tem mestu."
God said, ‘I will punish the nation that enslaves them. Eventually they will leave and come here to worship me.’
8 In dal mu je zavezo obreze; in tako je rodil Izaka, in obrezal ga je osmi dan; in Izak Jakoba, in Jakob dvanajstere očake.
God also gave Abraham the agreement regarding circumcision, and so when Isaac was born, Abraham circumcised him on the eighth day. Isaac was the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of the twelve patriarchs.
9 In očaki so iz nevošljivosti Jožefa prodali v Egipet; in bil je Bog ž njim.
The patriarchs, who were jealous of Joseph, sold him into slavery in Egypt. But God was with him,
10 In rešil ga je iz vseh nadlog njegovih, in dal mu je milost in modrost pred Faraonom kraljem Egiptovskim, in postavil ga je za poglavarja nad Egiptom in vso hišo svojo.
and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave him wisdom and helped him gain the favor of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and the royal household.
11 Prišla pa je lakota na vso zemljo Egiptovsko in Kanaansko, in velika nadloga; in niso našli živeža očaki naši.
Now a famine occurred throughout Egypt and Canaan. It caused terrible misery, and our forefathers had no food.
12 Slišavši pa Jakob, da je žita v Egiptu, poslal je prvikrat očake naše.
When Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt he sent our forefathers down on their first visit.
13 In v drugo so spoznali Jožefa bratje njegovi, in znana je postala Faraonu rodovina Jožefova.
During their second visit, Joseph revealed to his brothers who he was, and Pharaoh discovered Joseph's family background.
14 Poslavši pa Jožef, poklical je očeta svojega Jakoba, in vso rodovino svojo, pet in sedemdeset duš.
Joseph sent for his father and all his relatives—seventy-five in total.
15 In sešel je Jakob v Egipet, in umrl je on in očetje naši;
Jacob traveled to Egypt, and died there—as did our forefathers.
16 In prenesli so jih v Sihem, in položili v grob, kterega je kupil Abraham za ceno srebra od sinov Hemorja očeta Sihemovega.
Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought with silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
17 Ko se je pa bližal čas obljube, ktero je prisegel Bog Abrahamu, narastlo je ljudstvo in umnožilo se v Egiptu,
As the time approached regarding the promise that God had made to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt increased.
18 Dokler ni vstal drugi kralj, kteri ni poznal Jožefa.
A new king came to the throne in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph.
19 Ta je zvijaško storil z rodom našim, in zatrl je očete naše, da so morali izpostavljati otroke svoje, da ne živé.
He took advantage of our people and treated our ancestors badly, forcing them to abandon their babies so they would die.
20 V ta čas se je rodil Mojzes, in bil je prijeten Bogu: kteri je bil tri mesece rejen v hiši očeta svojega.
It was at this time that Moses was born. He was a handsome child, and for three months he was looked after in his father's home.
21 A ko je izpostavljen bil, vzela ga je hči Faraonova, in odgojila ga je sebi za sina.
When he had to be abandoned, Pharaoh's daughter rescued him and took care of him as her own son.
22 In naučil se je Mojzes vse modrosti Egiptovske; in bil je mogočen v besedah in v dejanjih.
Moses received instruction in all areas of Egyptian knowledge, and he became a powerful speaker and leader.
23 Ko je pa dopolnil štirideset let, prišlo mu je na misel obiskati brate svoje sinove Izraelove.
However, when he was forty years old, he decided to visit his relatives, the Israelites.
24 In ko je videl nekoga, da trpí krivico, obranil ga je, in maščeval je tega, kteri je krivico trpel, in ubil je Egipčana.
He saw one of them being mistreated, so he intervened to defend him. On behalf of the man he took revenge and killed the Egyptian.
25 Menil je pa, da bratje njegovi umejo, da jim po njegovej roki hoče dati Bog odrešenje ali oni niso razumeli.
Moses thought his fellow Israelites would see that God was rescuing them through him, but they didn't.
26 A drugi dan je prišel k njim, ko so se bojevali, in miril jih je, govoreč: "Možjé, vi ste bratje; po kaj delate krivico eden drugemu?"
The next day when he arrived, two Israelites were fighting one another. He tried to reconcile them and stop the fight. ‘Men! You are brothers!’ he told them. ‘Why are you attacking each other?’
27 Tisti pa, ki je delal krivico bližnjemu, odpahne ga, govoreč: Kdo te je postavil za poglavarja in sodnika nad nami?
But the man who had started the fight pushed Moses away. ‘Who put you in charge over us? Are you our judge now?’ he asked.
28 Ali me ti hočeš ubiti, kakor si ubil včeraj Egipčana?"
‘Are you going to kill me like you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Mojzes je pa pobegnil na to besedo, in bil je tujec v zemlji Madijamskej, kjer je rodil dva sina.
When he heard this, Moses ran away. He went and lived in exile in the land of Midian, where two sons were born to him.
30 In ko se je dopolnilo štirideset let, prikazal mu se je v puščavi gore Sinajske angelj Gospodov v plamenu gorečega grma.
Forty years later, in the desert of Mount Sinai, an angel appeared to him in the flames of a burning bush.
31 Mojzes pa, ko je to videl, začudil se je prikazni; in ko je pristopil, da bi pogledal, oglasil mu se je glas Gospodov:
When Moses saw this, he was amazed at the sight, and went over to take a closer look. The voice of the Lord spoke to him:
32 " Jaz sem Bog očetov tvojih, Bog Abrahamov in Bog Izakov in Bog Jakobov." Mojzes pa je strepetal, in ni upal pogledati.
‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.’ Moses shook with fear and didn't dare look up.
33 Reče pa mu Gospod: "Izuj obutalo z nog svojih; kajti mesto, na kterem stojiš, sveta je zemlja.
The Lord told him, ‘Take off your sandals, because where you are standing is holy ground.
34 Dobro sem videl stisko naroda svojega, ki je v Egiptu, in njih zdihovanje sem slišal; in sešel sem, da jih rešim. In sedaj pridi, poslal te bom v Egipet."
I have closely observed the suffering of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groans. I have come down to rescue them. Now come over here, for I'm sending you to Egypt.’
35 Tega Mojzesa, kteremu so se bili uprli, govoreč: "Kdo te je postavil za poglavarja in sodnika? tega je Bog za poglavarja in odrešenika poslal po roki angelja, kteri mu se je bil prikazal v grmu.
This was the same Moses that the people had rejected when they said, ‘Who made you a ruler and judge over us?’ God sent him to be both a ruler and a liberator, by means of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 Ta jih je izpeljal, delajoč čudeže in znamenja v zemlji Egiptovskej in Rdečem morji, in v puščavi štirideset let.
Moses led them out after performing miraculous signs in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and continued to do so in the desert for forty years.
37 Ta je tisti Mojzes, ki je rekel sinovom Izraelovim: "Preroka vam bo obudil Gospod Bog izmed bratov vaših, kakor mene; njega poslušajte."
This is the same Moses who promised the Israelites, ‘God will send you a prophet like me from among your people.’
38 Ta je tisti, ki je bil pri množici v puščavi z angeljem, kteri mu je govoril na gori Sinajskej, in z očeti našimi, kteri je prejel besede življenja, da jih nam dá;
Moses was with God's assembled people in the desert when the angel spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and there with our forefathers he received God's living word to give to us.
39 Kteremu niso hoteli pokorni biti očetje naši, nego so ga zavrgli, in obrnili srca svoja v Egipet,
He was the one our fathers wouldn't listen to. They rejected him and decided to return to Egypt.
40 Rekši Aronu: "Naredi nam bogove, kteri bodo hodili pred nami; kajti ta Mojzes, ki nas je izpeljal iz zemlje Egiptovske, ne vémo, kaj mu se je zgodilo."
They told Aaron, ‘Make gods for us to lead us, because we don't know what's happened to this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt.’
41 In vlili so tele tiste dni, in darovali so daritev maliku, in veselili so se del rok svojih.
Then they made an idol in the shape of a calf, sacrificed to it, and celebrated what they themselves had made!
42 In odvrnil se je Bog, in izdal jih je, naj služijo ozvezdju neba, kakor je pisano v bukvah prerokov: "Ali ste mi darovali zaklanice in daritve štirideset let v puščavi, hiša Izraelova?
So God gave up on them. He left them to their worship of the stars in the sky. This is what the prophets wrote, ‘Were you giving offerings or making sacrifices to me during the forty years in the desert, you Israelites?
43 In ponesli ste šator Molohov, in zvezdo boga svojega Remfana, podobe, ktere ste naredili, da ste jim se poklanjali; in preselil vas bom za Babilon."
No, you carried the Tabernacle of the god Moloch and the image of the god Rephan's star, images that you made so you could worship them. So I will banish you in exile beyond Babylon.’
44 Šator pričevanja so imeli očetje naši v puščavi, kakor jim je zapovedal ta, ki je rekel Mojzesu, naj ga naredí po podobi, ktero je videl;
Our ancestors had the Tabernacle of Testimony in the desert. God had told Moses how he should make it following the blueprint he had seen.
45 Kterega so tudi prejeli očetje naši, in ponesli z Jezusom, v posestvo poganov, ktere je izgnal Bog izpred obličja očetov naših, noter do dnî Davida;
Later on, our forefathers carried it with them when they went in with Joshua to occupy the land taken from the nations the Lord drove out before them. It stayed there until the time of David.
46 Kteri je milost našel pred Bogom, in je prosil, da bi našel prebivališče Bogu Jakobovemu.
David found favor with God and asked to make a more permanent home for the God of Jacob.
47 A Solomon mu je sezidal hišo.
But it was Solomon who built a Temple for him.
48 Ali Najviši ne prebiva v tempeljnih z rokami narejenih, kakor prerok pravi:
Of course the Almighty doesn't live in temples we make. As the prophet said,
49 "Nebo mi je stol, in zemlja podnožje nogam mojim. Kakošno hišo mi boste zidali? pravi Gospod. Ali ktero je mesto za počivanje moje?
‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth the place I put my feet. What kind of dwelling could you build for me?’ the Lord asks. ‘What bed could you make for me to rest in?
50 Ni li roka moja vsega tega naredila?"
Didn't I make everything?’
51 Trdovratni in neobrezanih src in ušes! vi se vedno Duhu svetemu upirate; kakor očetje vaši, tudi vi.
You arrogant, hard-hearted people! You never listen! You always fight against the Holy Spirit! You act just like your fathers did!
52 Kterega od prerokov niso pregnali očetje vaši? In pomorili so te, kteri so naprej oznanili prihod pravičnega, kakor izdajalci in ubijalci ste sedaj vi postali;
Was there ever a prophet your fathers didn't persecute? They killed those who prophesied about the coming of the one who is truly good and right. He is the one you betrayed and murdered—
53 Kteri ste prejeli postavo po naredbi angeljev, in je niste ohranili.
you who received the law by means of the angels, but refused to keep it.”
54 Ko so pa to slišali, togotili so se v srcih svojih, in škripali so z zobmí zoper njega.
When they heard this, the council members became mad with rage, and snarled at him, grinding their teeth.
55 On pa, poln Duha svetega, ozrè se na nebo, in ugleda slavo Božjo, in Jezusa, da stojí na desnici Božjej.
But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed up into heaven and saw God's glory, with Jesus standing at God's right hand.
56 In reče: Glej, vidim nebesa odprta, in sina človečjega, da stoji na desnici Božjej.
“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open, and the Son of Man standing at God's right hand.”
57 In zakričavši z močnim glasom, zataknejo ušesa svoja, in planejo ene misli na-nj.
But they held their hands over their ears and shouted as loudly as they could. They rushed together at him,
58 In izpahnivši ga ven iz mesta, pobijali so ga s kamenjem. In priče so položile oblačila svoja pred noge mladeniču, kteremu je bilo imel Savel.
dragged him out of the city, and began to stone him. His accusers laid their coats down beside a young man called Saul.
59 In pobijali so s kamenjem Štefana, kteri je klical in govoril: Gospod Jezus, sprejmi duh moj!
As they went on stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60 In pokleknivši, zavpije z močnim glasom: Gospod, ne postavi jim tega greha! In rekši to, zaspal je.
He kneeled down, calling out, “Lord, please don't hold this sin against them!” And after he said this, he died.
