Acts 18
1 On leaving Athens, Paul next went to Corinth.
Po teh stvareh je Pavel odšel iz Aten in prišel v Korint
2 There he met a Jew of the name of Aquila, from Pontus, who, with his wife Priscilla, had lately come from Italy, in consequence of the order which had been issued by the Emperor Claudius for all Jews to leave Rome. Paul paid them a visit,
in našel nekega Juda po imenu Ákvila, rojenega v Pontu, [ki je] s svojo ženo Prískilo nedavno prišel iz Italije; (zato ker je Klavdij vsem Judom ukazal oditi iz Rima) in prišel k njima.
3 and, since their trade was the same as his, he stayed and worked with them – their trade was tent-making.
In ker je bil iste obrti, je ostal z njima in delal, kajti po njunem poklicu sta bila izdelovalca šotorov.
4 Every Sabbath Paul gave addresses in the synagogue, trying to convince both Jews and Greeks.
In vsak šabat je razpravljal v sinagogi in pregovarjal Jude ter Grke.
5 But, when Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to delivering the message, earnestly maintaining before the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
In ko sta iz Makedonije prišla Sila in Timótej, je bil Pavel v duhu gnan in Judom pričeval, da Jezus je bil Kristus.
6 However, as they set themselves against him and became abusive, Paul shook his clothes in protest and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads. My conscience is clear. From this time forward I will go to the Gentiles.”
In ko so nasprotovali samim sebi in izrekali bogokletje, je otresel svoje oblačilo ter jim rekel: »Vaša kri naj bo na vaših lastnih glavah. Jaz sem čist. Odslej bom šel k poganom.«
7 So he left, and went to the house of a certain Titius Justus, who had been accustomed to join in the worship of God, and whose house was next door to the synagogue.
In odšel je od tam ter vstopil v hišo nekega moža, po imenu Just, nekoga, ki je oboževal Boga, čigar hiša je bila tik poleg shodnice.
8 Crispus, the synagogue leader, came to believe in the Lord, and so did all his household; and many of the Corinthians, as they listened to Paul, became believers in Christ and were baptized.
In Krisp, glavni predstojnik sinagoge, je z vso svojo hišo veroval v Gospoda in mnogi izmed Korinčanov so ob poslušanju verovali in bili so krščeni.
9 One night the Lord said to Paul, in a vision, “Have no fear, but continue to speak, and refuse to be silenced;
Potem je ponoči v videnju Pavlu govoril Gospod: »Ne boj se, temveč govori in ne molči,
10 for I am with you, and no one will do you harm, for I have many people in this city.”
kajti jaz sem s teboj in nihče se ne bo spravil nadte, da te poškoduje, kajti v tem mestu imam veliko ljudi.«
11 So he settled there for a year and a half, and taught God’s message among the people.
In tam je nadaljeval leto in šest mesecev ter med njimi učil Božjo besedo.
12 While Gallio was governor of Greece, some of the Jewish leaders made a combined attack on Paul, and brought him before the Governor’s Bench,
In ko je bil namestnik Ahaje Galíon, so Judje proti Pavlu soglasno naredili upor in ga privedli k sodnemu stolu,
13 charging him with persuading people to worship God in a way forbidden by the Law.
rekoč: »Ta pregovarja ljudi, da obožujejo Boga v nasprotju s postavo.«
14 Just as Paul was on the point of speaking, Gallio said to them, “If this were a case of misdemeanor or some serious crime, there would be some reason for my listening patiently to you;
In ko je Pavel že skoraj odprl svoja usta, je Galíon rekel Judom: »Če bi bil razlog krivična zadeva ali zlobna nespodobnost, oh vi Judje, bi vas bil voljan prenašati.
15 but, since it is a dispute about words, and names, and your own Law, you must see to it yourselves. I do not choose to be a judge in such matters.”
Toda če je to vprašanje besed in imen in vaše postave, vi glejte na to, kajti v teh zadevah ne bom sodnik.«
16 Saying this, he drove them back from the Bench.
In spodil jih je od sodnega stola.
17 Then they all set on Sosthenes, the synagogue leader, and beat him in front of the Bench, but Gallio did not trouble himself about any of these things.
Tedaj so vsi Grki prijeli Sosténa, glavnega predstojnika sinagoge in ga pretepli pred sodnim stolom. Galíon pa se ni zmenil za nobeno od teh stvari.
18 Paul remained there some time after this, and then took leave of the followers, and sailed to Syria with Priscilla and Aquila, but not before his head had been shaved at Cenchreae, because he was under a vow.
In Pavel je po tem ostal tam še dolgo časa in se nató poslovil od bratov ter od tam odjadral v Sirijo in z njim Prískila in Ákvila, ko je v Kenhrejah ostrigel svojo glavo, kajti imel je zaobljubo.
19 They put into Ephesus, and there Paul, leaving his companions, went into the synagogue and addressed the Jews.
In prišel je v Efez ter ju pustil tam, toda on sam je vstopil v sinagogo in razpravljal z Judi.
20 When they asked him to prolong his stay, he declined, saying however,
Ko so ga prosili, da ostane z njimi dlje časa, ni privolil,
21 as he took his leave, “I will come back again to you, please God,” and then set sail from Ephesus.
temveč se je poslovil, rekoč: »Vsekakor moram ta praznik, ki prihaja, praznovati v Jeruzalemu. Toda ponovno se bom vrnil k vam, če Bog hoče.« In odjadral je iz Efeza.
22 On reaching Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and exchanged greetings with the church, and then went down to Antioch.
In ko je pristal v Cezareji in šel gor ter pozdravil cerkev, je odšel dol v Antiohijo.
23 After making some stay in Antioch, he set out on a tour through the Phrygian district of Galatia, strengthening the faith of all the disciples as he went.
In potem, ko je tam preživel nekaj časa, je odšel in se po vrsti odpravil preko vse dežele Galačanov in Frigije ter krepil vse učence.
24 Meanwhile there had come to Ephesus an Alexandrian Jew, named Apollos, an eloquent man, who was well-versed in the scriptures.
In v Efez je prišel nek Jud, po imenu Apolo, rojen v Aleksandriji, zgovoren človek in mogočen v pismih.
25 He had been well-instructed in the Way of the Lord, and with burning zeal he spoke of, and taught carefully, the facts about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John’s.
Ta človek je bil poučen o Gospodovi poti. Ker pa je bil v duhu goreč, je govoril in marljivo učil stvari o Gospodu, poznavajoč samo Janezov krst.
26 This man began to speak out fearlessly in the synagogue; and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained the Way of God to him more carefully still.
In v sinagogi je začel pogumno govoriti. Ko sta ga Prískila in Ákvila slišala, sta ga vzela k sebi in mu podrobneje pojasnila Božjo pot.
27 When he wanted to cross to Greece, the followers furthered his plans, and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival he proved of great assistance to those who had, through the loving kindness of God, become believers in Christ,
In ko je bil pripravljen, da odide v Ahajo, so bratje pisali in spodbudili učence, da ga sprejmejo. Ko je prišel, je mnogo pomagal tem, ki so po milosti verovali,
28 for he vigorously confuted the Jews, publicly proving by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
kajti mogočno je prepričeval Jude in to javno in s pismi dokazoval, da je Jezus bil Kristus.
