Acts 16
1 Among other places Paul went to Derbe and Lystra. At the latter place they found a disciple, named Timothy, whose mother was a Jewish woman who was a believer, while his father was a Greek,
Potem je prišel v Derbe in Listro. In glej, tam je bil nek učenec, po imenu Timótej, sin neke ženske, ki je bila Judinja in je verovala, toda njegov oče je bil Grk,
2 and who was well spoken of by the followers of the Lord in Lystra and Iconium.
ki je bil pri bratih, ki so bili v Listri in Ikóniju, na dobrem glasu.
3 Wishing to take this man with him on his journey, Paul caused him to be circumcised out of consideration for the Jews in that region, for they all knew that his father had been a Greek.
Njega je Pavel hotel vzeti s seboj in vzel ga je ter ga obrezal zaradi Judov, ki so bili v teh četrtih, kajti vsi so vedeli, da je bil njegov oče Grk.
4 As they traveled from town to town, they gave the followers the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and church elders at Jerusalem, for them to observe.
In ko so šli skozi mesta, so jim izročali odloke, da se jih držijo, ki so bili odrejeni od apostolov in starešin, ki so bili v Jeruzalemu.
5 So the churches grew stronger in the faith, and increased in numbers from day to day.
In tako so bile cerkve utrjene v veri in so številčno dnevno naraščale.
6 They next went through the Phrygian district of Galatia, but were restrained by the Holy Spirit from delivering the message in Roman Asia.
Torej ko so šli skozi Frigijo in področje Galacije in jim je Sveti Duh prepovedal oznanjati besedo v Aziji,
7 When they reached the borders of Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
so potem, ko so prišli do Mízije, poskušali iti v Bitinijo, toda Duh jim ni dovolil.
8 Passing through Mysia, they went down to Troas;
In šli so mimo Mízije in se spustili do Troáde.
9 and there one night Paul saw a vision. A Macedonian was standing and appealing to him – ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’
Ponoči pa se je Pavlu prikazalo videnje: »Tam je stal Makedonec in ga prosil, rekoč: ›Pridi sem v Makedonijo in nam pomagaj.‹«
10 So, immediately after Paul had seen the vision, we looked for an opportunity to cross over to Macedonia, concluding that God had summoned us to tell the good news to the people there.
In po tem, ko je imel videnje, smo si takoj prizadevali iti v Makedonijo, ker smo brez dvoma sklepali, da nas je poklical Gospod, da jim oznanimo evangelij.
11 Accordingly we set sail from Troas, and ran before the wind to Samothrace, reaching Neapolis the next day.
Zato smo, ko smo dvignili sidro iz Troáde, prispeli z ravno smerjo v Samotrake in naslednjega dne v Neápolo
12 From there we made our way to Philippi, which is the principal city of that part of Macedonia, and also a Roman Settlement. In that city we spent several days.
in od tam v Filípe, ki je glavno mesto tega dela Makedonije ter [rimska] kolonija. In v tem mestu smo prebivali nekaj dni.
13 On the Sabbath we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and talked to the women who were gathered there.
In na šabat smo odšli iz mesta k bregu reke, kjer je bila običajno molitev in se usedli ter govorili ženskam, ki so tja zahajale.
14 Among them was a woman, named Lydia, belonging to Thyatira, a dealer in purple cloth, who was accustomed to join in the worship of God. The Lord touched this woman’s heart, so that she gave attention to the message delivered by Paul,
In neka ženska, po imenu Lidija, prodajalka škrlata, iz mesta Tiatira, ki je oboževala Boga, nas je poslušala, katere srce je Gospod odprl, da je prisluhnila besedam, ki jih je govoril Pavel.
15 and, when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us to become her guests. “Since you have shown your conviction,” she said, “that I really am a believer in the Lord, come and stay in my house.” And she insisted on our doing so.
In ko je bila krščena ona in njena družina, nas je rotila, rekoč: »Če ste me presodili, da sem zvesta Gospodu, pridite v mojo hišo in ostanite tam.« In primorala nas je.
16 One day, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, we were met by a girl possessed by a divining spirit, who made large profits for her masters by fortune-telling.
In pripetilo se je, ko smo šli k molitvi, da nas je srečala neka gospodična, obsedena z duhom vedeževanja, ki je z napovedovanjem usode prinašala veliko dobička svojim gospodarjem.
17 This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, calling, “These men are servants of the most high God, and they are bringing you news of a way to salvation.”
Ta je sledila Pavlu in nam ter vpila, rekoč: »Ti ljudje so služabniki Boga najvišjega, ki nam kažejo pot rešitve duš.«
18 She had been doing this for several days, when Paul, much vexed, turned and said to the spirit within her, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to leave her.” That very moment the spirit left her.
In to je počela mnogo dni. Toda Pavel se je užaloščen obrnil in duhu rekel: »Zapovedujem ti v imenu Jezusa Kristusa, da prideš iz nje.« In še isto uro je prišel ven.
19 When her masters saw that there was no hope of further profit from her, they seized Paul and Silas, dragged them into the public square to the authorities,
In ko so njeni gospodarji videli, da je izginilo upanje na njihov dobiček, so ujeli Pavla in Sila ter ju zvlekli na trg k vladarjem
20 and took them before the Magistrates. “These men are causing a great disturbance in our town,” they complained;
in ju privedli k oblastnikom, rekoč: »Ta moža, ki sta Juda, delata našemu mestu silne težave
21 “They are Jews, and they are teaching customs which it is not right for us, as Romans, to sanction or adopt.”
ter učita običaje, ki za nas, ki smo Rimljani, niso zakoniti za sprejetje niti za obeleževanje.«
22 The mob rose as one person against them, and the Magistrates stripped them of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
In množica je skupaj vstala proti njima in oblastniki so jima raztrgali njuna oblačila ter ukazali naj ju pretepejo.
23 After beating them severely, the Magistrates put them in prison, with orders to the jailer to keep them in safe custody.
In ko so nanju položili mnogo udarcev z bičem, so ju vrgli v ječo ter ječarju ukazali, naj ju varno straži.
24 On receiving so strict an order, the Governor put them into the inner cell, and secured their feet in the stocks.
Ta ju je, ker je prejel tak ukaz, pahnil v notranjo ječo in njuna stopala pričvrstil v kladi.
25 About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and while the prisoners were listening to them,
Ob polnoči pa sta Pavel in Sila molila ter pela hvalnice Bogu, jetniki pa so ju poslušali.
26 suddenly there was an earthquake of such violence that the jail was shaken to its foundations; all the doors flew open, and all the prisoners’ chains were loosened.
In nenadoma je bil močan potres, tako da so bili zamajani temelji ječe in takoj so se vsa vrata odprla in vezi vseh so bile odvezane.
27 Roused from his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, the Governor drew his sword intending to kill himself, in the belief that the prisoners had escaped.
In čuvaj ječe, ki se je prebudil iz svojega spanja in videl vrata ječe odprta, je izvlekel svoj meč in se hotel ubiti, ker je mislil, da so jetniki pobegnili.
28 But Paul called our loudly, “Do not harm yourself; we are all here.”
Toda Pavel je z močnim glasom zaklical, rekoč: »Ne stôri si ničesar hudega, kajti vsi smo tukaj.«
29 Calling for a light, the Governor rushed in, and flung himself trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.
Ta je potem zahteval luč in skočil noter in drhteč prišel ter padel dol pred Pavla in Sila
30 Then he led them out, and said, “What must I do to be saved?”
in ju privedel ven ter rekel: »Gospoda, kaj moram storiti, da bom rešen?«
31 “Believe in Jesus, our Lord,” they replied, “and you will be saved, you and your household too.”
In onadva sta rekla: »Veruj v Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in rešen boš ti in tvoja hiša.«
32 Then they spoke to him of God’s message, and to all his household as well.
In Gospodovo besedo sta govorila njemu in vsem, ki so bili v njegovi hiši.
33 And that very hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds, and he himself and everyone belonging to him were baptized without delay.
In še isto uro noči ju je vzel ter umil njune udarce in nemudoma je bil krščen on in vsi njegovi.
34 Afterward he took them up to his house and set before them something to eat, rejoicing that he, with all his household, had come to believe in God.
In ko ju je privedel v svojo hišo, je pred njiju postavil jed ter se veselil, ker je z vso svojo hišo veroval v Boga.
35 In the morning the Magistrates sent the guards with an order for the men to be discharged.
In ko je bil dan, so oblastniki poslali narednike, rekoč: »Izpusti tista človeka.«
36 The jailer told Paul of his instructions. “The Magistrates have sent an order for your discharge,” he said, “so you had better leave the place at once and go quietly away.”
In čuvaj ječe je te besede povedal Pavlu: »Oblastniki so poslali, naj vaju izpustim. Sedaj torej odidita in pojdita v miru.«
37 But Paul’s answer to them was, “They have flogged us in public without trial, though we are Roman citizens, and they have put us in prison, and now they are for sending us out secretly! No, indeed! Let them come and take us out themselves.”
Vendar jim je Pavel rekel: »Naju, ki sva Rimljana, so neobsojena javno pretepli in naju vrgli v ječo. In sedaj naju mečejo ven na skrivaj? Ne, resnično, temveč naj sami pridejo in naju spravijo ven.«
38 The guards reported his words to the Magistrates, who, on hearing that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, were alarmed,
In naredniki so te besede povedali oblastnikom in ko so slišali, da sta bila Rimljana, so se zbali.
39 and went to the prison, and did their best to conciliate them. Then they took them out, and begged them to leave the city.
In prišli so ter ju rotili in ju privedli ven ter od njiju želeli, da odideta iz mesta.
40 When Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to Lydia’s house, and, after they had seen the Lord’s followers, and encouraged them, they left the place.
In odšla sta iz ječe ter vstopila v Lidijino hišo; in ko sta videla brate, sta jih potolažila ter odšla.
