Acts 21
1 When we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran before the wind to Cos; the next day we came to Rhodes, and from there to Patara,
In pripetilo se je, da potem, ko smo odšli od njih in odrinili, smo z ravno smerjo prispeli na Kos in naslednji dan na Rodos in od tam v Pátaro,
2 where we found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, and went on board and set sail.
in ko smo našli ladjo, ki je jadrala preko do Fenikije, smo se vkrcali in odpotovali.
3 After sighting Cyprus and leaving it on the left, we sailed to Syria, and put into Tyre, where the ship was to discharge her cargo.
Torej ko smo odkrili Ciper, smo ga pustili na levi roki in odjadrali v Sirijo ter pristali v Tiru, kajti tam je ladja iztovorila svoj tovor.
4 There we found the disciples and stayed a week with them. Speaking under the influence of the Spirit, they warned Paul not to set foot in Jerusalem.
In ko smo našli učence, smo tam ostali sedem dni. Ti so Pavlu po Duhu povedali, da naj ne bi šel gor v Jeruzalem.
5 However, when we had come to the end of our visit, we went on our way, all the disciples with their wives and children escorting us out of the city. We knelt down on the beach, and prayed,
In ko smo te dneve dovršili, smo se odpravili in odšli [po] naši poti. In na našo pot so nas vsi pospremili z ženami in otroki, dokler nismo bili izven mesta, in pokleknili smo na obali ter molili.
6 and then said goodbye to one another; after which we went on board, and they returned home.
In ko smo se poslovili drug od drugega, smo se odpeljali z ladjo, oni pa so se ponovno vrnili domov.
7 After we had made the run from Tyre, we landed at Ptolemais, and exchanged greetings with the followers there, and spent a day with them.
In ko smo dokončali naše potovanje iz Tira, smo prišli v Ptolemáido in pozdravili brate in en dan ostali z njimi.
8 The next day we left, and reached Caesarea, where we went to the house of Philip, the missionary, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him.
In naslednji dan smo mi, ki smo bili iz Pavlove skupine, odšli ter prišli v Cezarejo in vstopili v hišo evangelista Filipa, ki je bil eden izmed sedmih; in ostali z njim.
9 He had four unmarried daughters, who had the gift of prophecy.
In isti mož je imel štiri hčere, device, ki so prerokovale.
10 During our visit, which lasted several days, a prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judea.
In ko smo se tam mudili mnogo dni, je prišel dol iz Judeje nek prerok, po imenu Agab.
11 He came to see us, and, taking Paul’s belt, and binding his own feet and hands with it, said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says – ‘The man to whom this belt belongs will be bound like this by the religious authorities in Jerusalem, and they will give him up to the Gentiles’.”
In ko je prišel k nam, je vzel Pavlov pas ter si zvezal svoje lastne roke in stopala ter rekel: »Tako govori Sveti Duh: ›Tako bodo Judje v Jeruzalemu zvezali moža, ki ima v lasti ta pas in ga izročili v roke poganom.‹«
12 When we heard that, we and the people of the place began to entreat Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
In ko smo slišali te stvari, smo ga rotili, tako mi kakor tudi tisti iz tega kraja, naj ne hodi gor v Jeruzalem.
13 It was then that Paul made the reply, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart like this? For my part, I am ready not only to be bound, but even to suffer death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Potem je Pavel odgovoril: »Kaj mislite, da jokate in da mi lomite moje srce? Pripravljen sem ne samo biti zvezan, temveč v Jeruzalemu tudi umreti za ime Gospoda Jezusa.«
14 So, as he would not be persuaded, we said no more to him, only adding – “The Lord’s will be done.”
In ko ni želel biti pregovorjen, smo prenehali, rekoč: »Zgôdi se Gospodova volja.«
15 At the end of our visit, we made our preparations, and started on our way up to Jerusalem.
In po teh dneh smo vzeli svojo prtljago in odšli gor v Jeruzalem.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, and brought Mnason with them, a Cypriot disciple of long standing, with whom we were to stay.
Z nami so šli tja tudi nekateri učenci iz Cezareje in s seboj so privedli nekega Mnazona iz Cipra, starega učenca, pri katerem naj bi prenočili.
17 On our arrival at Jerusalem, the followers of the Lord there gave us a hearty welcome;
In ko smo prišli v Jeruzalem, so nas bratje veselo sprejeli.
18 and the next day Paul went with us to see James, and all the church elders were present.
In naslednji dan je Pavel z nami odšel k Jakobu in prisotne so bile vse starešine.
19 After greeting them, Paul related in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his efforts;
In ko jih je pozdravil, je podrobno pojasnil, kakšne stvari je Bog po njegovi službi storil med pogani.
20 and, when they had heard it, they began praising God, and said to Paul: “You see, brother, that those of our people who have become believers in Christ may be numbered by tens of thousands, and they are all naturally earnest in upholding the Jewish Law.
In ko so to slišali, so slavili Gospoda in mu rekli: »Vidiš, brat, kako mnogo tisočev Judov je tukaj, ki verujejo, in vsi so goreči za postavo,
21 Now they have heard it said about you, that you teach all of our people in foreign countries to forsake Moses, for you tell them not to circumcise their children or even to observe Jewish customs.
o tebi pa so obveščeni, da vse Jude, ki so med pogani, učiš, da zapustijo Mojzesa, rekoč, da jim ni treba obrezati njihovih otrok niti živeti po običajih.
22 Well now, as they are certain to hear of your arrival, do what we are going to suggest.
Kaj je to torej? Množica mora brezpogojno priti skupaj, kajti slišali bodo, da si prišel.
23 We have four men here, who have of their own accord put themselves under a vow.
Pravimo ti, stôri torej tole: ›Imamo štiri može, ki imajo na sebi zaobljubo;
24 Join these men, share their purification, and bear their expenses, so that they may shave their heads; and then all will see that there is no truth in what they have been told about you, but that, on the contrary, you yourself rule your life in obedience to the Jewish Law.
vzemi jih in se z njimi očisti in naj bodo tvoji stroški, da si bodo lahko obrili svoje glave, in vsi bodo lahko spoznali, da te stvari, o katerih so bili glede tebe obveščeni, niso nič, temveč da tudi sam živiš redno in se držiš postave.‹
25 As to the Gentiles who have become believers in Christ, we have sent our decision that they should avoid food offered to idols, and blood, and the flesh of strangled animals, and impurity.”
Kar zadeva pogane, ki verujejo, smo pisali in sklenili, da [naj] ne obeležujejo nobene takšne stvari, razen samo, da se varujejo pred stvarmi darovanim malikom in pred krvjo in pred zadavljenim in pred prešuštvom.«
26 Paul joined the men, and the next day shared their purification, and went into the Temple, and gave notice of the expiration of the period of purification when the usual offering should have been made on behalf of each of them.
Tedaj je Pavel vzel može in naslednji dan, ko se je očistil, je z njimi vstopil v tempelj, da naznani dovršitev dni očiščevanja, dokler se ne bi za vsakega izmed njih darovala daritev.
27 But, just as the seven days were drawing to a close, some of the Jewish people from Roman Asia caught sight of Paul in the Temple, and caused great excitement among all the people present, by seizing Paul and shouting,
In ko se je sedem dni skoraj dokončalo, so Judje, ki so bili iz Azije, ko so ga zagledali v templju, razvneli vso množico in nanj položili roke
28 “People of Israel! Help! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people, our Law, and this place; and, what is more, he has actually brought Greeks into the Temple and defiled this sacred place.”
ter vzklikali: »Možje Izraelci, pomagajte: ›To je človek, ki povsod vse može uči proti ljudem in postavi ter temu kraju, in razen tega je tudi Grke privedel v tempelj in oskrunil ta sveti prostor.‹«
29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in Paul’s company in the city, and were under the belief that Paul had taken him into the Temple.)
(Kajti prej so v mestu videli z njim Efežana Trofima, za katerega so domnevali, da ga je Pavel privedel v tempelj.)
30 The whole city was stirred, and the people quickly collected, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the Temple, when the doors were immediately shut.
In vse mesto je bilo razdraženo in ljudje so tekli skupaj in prijeli so Pavla ter ga odvlekli iz templja in nemudoma so bila vrata zaprta.
31 They were bent on killing him, when it was reported to the officer commanding the garrison, that all Jerusalem was in commotion.
In medtem ko so ga poskušali ubiti, so prišle k vrhovnemu poveljniku čete novice, da je bil ves Jeruzalem v vstaji.
32 He instantly got together some officers and soldiers, and charged down on the crowd, who, when they saw the commanding officer and his soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
Ki je takoj vzel vojake in stotnike ter stekel dol k njim. In ko so zagledali vrhovnega poveljnika in vojake, so Pavla prenehali pretepati.
33 Then he went up to Paul, arrested him, ordered him to be doubly chained, and proceeded to inquire who he was, and what he had been doing.
Tedaj se je približal vrhovni poveljnik in ga prijel ter mu ukazal, naj bo zvezan z dvema verigama in zahteval je kdo je bil in kaj je storil.
34 Some of the crowd said one thing, and some another; and, as he could get no definite reply because of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks.
In nekateri so med množico vpili eno stvar, nekateri drugo in ko ni mogel zanesljivo izvedeti gotovosti za hrup, je ukazal, da ga s seboj vzamejo v grad.
35 When Paul reached the steps, he was actually being carried by the soldiers, owing to the violence of the mob;
In ko je prišel na stopnice, je bilo tako, da so ga zaradi nasilja množice nesli vojaki.
36 for the people were following in a mass, shouting out, “Kill him!”
Kajti množica ljudi je sledila za njimi in kričala: »Proč z njim.«
37 Just as he was about to be taken into the Fort, Paul said to the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” “Do you know Greek?” asked the commanding officer.
In ko naj bi bil Pavel odveden v grad, je vrhovnemu poveljniku rekel: »Ti smem spregovoriti?« Ki je rekel: »Znaš govoriti grško?
38 “Aren’t you, then, the Egyptian who some time ago raised an insurrection and led the four thousand Bandits out into the wilderness?”
Ali nisi ti tisti Egipčan, ki je pred temi dnevi naredil vstajo in v divjino odvedel štiri tisoč mož, ki so bili morilci?«
39 “No,” said Paul, “I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a city of some note. I beg you to give me permission to speak to the people.”
Vendar je Pavel rekel: »Jaz sem človek, ki sem Jud iz Tarza, mesta v Kilikiji, meščan ne nepomembnega mesta, in rotim te, dovoli mi, da spregovorim ljudem.«
40 The commanding officer gave his permission, and Paul, standing on the steps, made signs with his hand to the people, and, when comparative silence had been obtained, he said to them in Hebrew:
In ko mu je dal dovoljenje, je Pavel stal na stopnicah in z roko dal znamenje ljudem. In ko je nastala velika tišina, jim je spregovoril v hebrejskem jeziku, rekoč:
