Acts 24
1 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
Po petih dneh pa je prišel dol Hananija, véliki duhovnik, s starešinami in z nekim govornikom po imenu Tertúl, ki je voditelja poučil zoper Pavla.
2 When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that by your foresight reforms are coming to this nation,
In ko je bil le-ta poklican, ga je Tertúl začel obtoževati, rekoč: »Glede na to, da po tebi uživamo veliko spokojnost in da so po tvoji previdnosti temu narodu storjena zelo plemenita dejanja,
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
to priznavamo vedno in na vseh krajih, najplemenitejši Feliks, z vso hvaležnostjo.
4 But, that I do not delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
Vendar da te ne bom še bolj zadrževal, te prosim, da nam po svoji dobrotljivosti prisluhneš nekaj besed.
5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Kajti tega človeka smo spoznali [za] kužnega in povzročitelja upora med vsemi Judi po vsem svetu in kolovodja ločine Nazarečanov,
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. And we would have judged him according to our law,
ki je poskušal oskruniti tudi tempelj; ki smo prijeli in hoteli soditi glede na našo postavo.
7 but the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
Vendar je nad nas prišel vrhovni poveljnik Lizija in ga z veliko silo odvedel iz naših rok
8 commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."
in njegovim tožnikom velel, da pridejo k tebi; s čigar zasliševanjem si boš lahko pridobil spoznanje o vseh teh stvareh, česar ga obtožujemo.«
9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
In tudi Judje so soglašali, rekoč, da so bile te stvari takšne.
10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, "Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
Nató je Pavel, potem ko mu je voditelj dal znamenje, da govori, odgovoril: »Ker vem, da si bil že mnogo let sodnik temu narodu, se še bolj vedro zagovarjam,
11 seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
zato, da boš lahko razumel, da je šele dvanajst dni, odkar sem odšel gor v Jeruzalem, da bi oboževal.
12 In the temple they did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.
In niti me niso našli v templju razpravljati s katerimkoli človekom niti podpihovati množice, ne v sinagogah ne v mestu.
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
Niti ne morejo dokazati besed, s katerimi me sedaj obtožujejo.
14 But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the Law, and which are written in the Prophets;
Toda to ti priznam, da po poti, ki ji pravijo kriva vera, na ta način obožujem Boga svojih očetov in verujem vse stvari, ki so zapisane v postavi in prerokih,
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection, both of the just and unjust.
in upanje imam v Boga, ki ga tudi sami dopuščajo, da bo vstajenje mrtvih, tako pravičnih kakor nepravičnih.
16 This being so, I also do my best to always have a clear conscience toward God and people.
In v tem sebe vežbam, da imam vest nenehno povsem brez prestopka pred Bogom in pred ljudmi.
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
Torej po mnogih letih sem prišel, da svojemu narodu prinesem miloščine in daritve.
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
Nakar so me neki Judje iz Azije našli v templju očiščenega, niti skupaj z množico niti s hrupom.
19 They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.
Ki bi morali biti tukaj pred teboj in ugovarjati, če bi imeli karkoli zoper mene.
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
Sicer naj ti isti tukaj povedo, če so našli na meni kakršnokoli zlo dejanje, medtem ko sem stal pred vélikim zborom,
21 unless it is for this one thing that I shouted out standing among them, 'Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today.'"
razen, če je to zaradi tistega enega glasu, ko sem med njimi stal in vzkliknil: ›Gledé vstajenja mrtvih ste me danes poklicali na zaslišanje.‹«
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, "When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case."
In ko je Feliks, ki je imel popolnejše spoznanje o tej poti, slišal te besede, jih je preložil ter rekel: »Ko bo prišel dol vrhovni poveljnik Lizija, bom spoznal vse o vaši zadevi.«
23 He ordered the centurion that he should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
In stotniku je ukazal, da varuje Pavla in mu pusti imeti prostost in da naj nikomur od njegovih znancev ne bi prepovedal streči ali priti k njemu.
24 But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was Jewish, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Messiah Jesus.
In po nekaj dneh, ko je prišel Feliks s svojo ženo Druzílo, ki je bila Judinja, je poklical Pavla in ga poslušal glede vere v Kristusa.
25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, "Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you."
In ko je razpravljal o pravičnosti, zmernosti in sodbi, ki pride, je Feliks zatrepetal in odgovoril: »Za sedaj pojdi svojo pot. Ko bom imel primeren čas, te bom poklical.«
26 Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him.
Upal je tudi, da bi mu bil od Pavla dan denar, da bi ga lahko osvobodil, zaradi česar ga je pogosteje poklical in se posvetoval z njim.
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
Toda po dveh letih pa je na Feliksovo mesto prišel Porkij Fest. Feliks pa, voljan ustreči Judom, je Pavla pustil zvezanega.
