Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."
Neki ljudje, ki so prišli dol iz Judeje, pa so učili brate in govorili: »Razen če ne boste obrezani po Mojzesovem običaju, ne morete biti rešeni.«
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Ko sta imela torej Pavel in Barnaba z njimi ne majhno razhajanje mnenj ter se z njimi pričkala, so odločili, da naj bi glede tega vprašanja Pavel in Barnaba ter nekateri drugi izmed njih šli gor v Jeruzalem, k apostolom in starešinam.
3 They, being sent on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the non-Jewish people. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
In na njihovo pot spremljani s cerkvijo, so šli skozi Fenikijo in Samarijo in razglašali spreobrnitev poganov in vsem bratom so napravili veliko radost.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all things that God had done with them.
In ko so prišli v Jeruzalem, so bili sprejeti od cerkve in od apostolov ter starešin in razglasili so vse stvari, ki jih je Bog z njimi storil.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses."
Toda vstali so nekateri iz ločine farizejev, ki so verovali, rekoč: »Da jih je treba obrezati in jim naročiti, naj se držijo Mojzesove postave.«
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
In apostoli in starešine so prišli skupaj, da preudarijo o tej besedi.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
In ko je bilo mnogo razpravljanja, je vstal Peter ter jim rekel: »Možje in bratje, vi veste, kako to, da je Bog pred davnim časom naredil med nami izbiro, da naj bi pogani po mojih ustih slišali besedo evangelija in verovali.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them by giving the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
In Bog, ki pozna srca, jim pričuje, ker jim daje Svetega Duha, prav tako kakor je storil nam
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
in ni naredil nobene razlike med nami ter njimi, ko je po veri očistil njihova srca.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Zakaj torej zdaj skušate Boga, da nadenete na vrat učencev jarem, ki ga niti naši očetje niti mi nismo mogli nositi?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are."
Ampak mi verujemo, da bomo rešeni po milosti Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, prav tako kakor oni.«
12 And all the people kept quiet, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Potem je vsa množica molčala in poslušala Barnaba in Pavla, ki sta razglašala, kakšne čudežne moči in čudeže je po njiju Bog storil med pogani.
13 After they were silent, James answered, "Brothers, listen to me.
In potem, ko so molčali, je Jakob odgovoril, rekoč: »Možje in bratje, prisluhnite mi.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them a people for his name.
Simeon je povedal, kako je Bog najprej obiskal pogane, da vzame izmed njih ljudi za svoje ime.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
In k temu se ujemajo besede prerokov, kakor je pisano:
16 'After these things I will return; and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,
›Po tem se bom vrnil in ponovno zgradil Davidovo šotorsko svetišče, ki je padlo in ruševine le-tega bom ponovno zgradil in jaz ga bom ponovno postavil,
17 that the rest of humanity may seek after the Lord, and all the nations who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things
da bi lahko preostanek ljudi iskal Gospoda in vsi pogani, nad katere je klicano moje ime, govori Gospod, ki dela vse te stvari.‹
19 "Therefore my judgment is that we do not trouble those from among the non-Jewish people who turn to God,
Zatorej je moja razsodba, da ne vznemirjamo teh, ki so se iz poganstva obrnili k Bogu,
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things defiled by idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
temveč, da jim napišemo, da se vzdržijo pred oskrunitvijo od malikov in pred prešuštvom in pred zadavljenimi stvarmi in pred krvjo.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who proclaim him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."
Kajti Mojzes ima od starih časov v vsakem mestu tiste, ki ga oznanjajo, beroč vsak šabatni dan v sinagogah.«
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Tedaj je apostolom in starešinam s celotno cerkvijo to ugajalo, da s Pavlom in Barnabom pošljejo v Antiohijo izbrana moža iz svoje lastne skupine; namreč Juda, imenovanega z vzdevkom Bársaba in Sila, vodilna moža med brati.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: "The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers who are in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
In po njiju so napisali pisma na ta način: ›Apostoli, starešine in bratje pošiljamo pozdrave bratom, ki so izmed poganov v Antiohiji in Siriji ter Kilikiji,
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, to whom we gave no commandment;
ker smo slišali, da so vas nekateri, ki so odšli izmed nas, vznemirjali z besedami in spodkopavali vaše duše, rekoč: ›Vi morate biti obrezani in se držati postave, ‹ katerim nismo dali nobene takšne zapovedi.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Nam, ki smo soglasno zbrani, se zdi dobro, da z našima ljubljenima Barnabom in Pavlom pošljemo k vam izbrana moža,
26 who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
moža, ki sta svoja življenja tvegala zaradi imena našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Poslali smo torej Juda in Sila, ki vam bosta iste stvari povedala ustno.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Kajti Svetemu Duhu in nam se zdi dobro, da vam ne nalagamo večjega bremena kakor te potrebne stvari:
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell."
da se vzdržite pred hrano, darovano malikom in pred krvjo in pred zadavljenimi stvarmi ter pred prešuštvom. Če sebe obvarujete pred njimi, boste storili v redu. Mnogo uspeha.‹
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
Torej ko so bili odposlani, so prišli v Antiohijo in ko so skupaj zbrali množico, so izročili poslanico,
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
katere so se, zaradi tolažbe, ko so jo brali, razveselili.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words, and strengthened them.
Juda in Sila, ki sta bila tudi sama preroka, pa sta brate z mnogimi besedami spodbujala in jih krepila.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were sent back with greetings from the brothers to those that had sent them forth.
In potem, ko sta se kratek čas mudila tam, sta od bratov v miru odšla k apostolom.
34 However, Silas decided to remain there.
Vendar je Sili ugajalo, da še ostane tam.
35 And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Tudi Pavel in Barnaba sta prav tako nadaljevala z mnogimi drugimi v Antiohiji in učila ter oznanjala Gospodovo besedo.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing."
Nekaj dni kasneje je Pavel rekel Barnabu: »Pojdiva ponovno in obiščiva naše brate v vsakem mestu, kjer sva oznanjala Gospodovo besedo in poglejva, kako so.«
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
In Barnaba se je odločil, da s seboj vzameta Janeza, katerega vzdevek je bil Marko.
38 But Paul did not think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to do the work.
Toda Pavlu se ni zdelo dobro z njima vzeti tistega, ki je iz Pamfilije odšel od njiju in z njima ni odšel na delo.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,
Spor med njima pa je bil tako oster, da sta se ločila narazen drug od drugega. In tako je Barnaba vzel Marka ter odjadral na Ciper,
40 but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
Pavel pa je izbral Sila in odšel, od bratov priporočen Božji milosti.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
In odšel je skozi Sirijo in Kilikijo in krepil cerkve.
