Acts 5
1 There was, however, a man named Ananias, who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property,
Toda nek človek, po imenu Hananija, je s Safíro, svojo ženo, prodal posestvo
2 and, with her connivance, kept back some of the proceeds. He brought only a part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
in zadržal del denarne vsote in tudi njegova žena je bila seznanjena s tem in prinesel je določen del ter ga položil k stopalom apostolov.
3 “Ananias,” Peter exclaimed, “how is it that Satan has so taken possession of your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit, and kept back a part of the money paid for the land?
Toda Peter je rekel: »Hananija, zakaj je Satan napolnil tvoje srce, da lažeš Svetemu Duhu in da zadržiš del vsote od zemljišča?
4 While it was unsold, was not it your own? And after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to people, but to God!”
Dokler je ostajalo ali ni bilo tvoje lastno? In potem, ko je bilo prodano ali ni bilo v tvoji lastni oblasti? Zakaj si v svojem srcu spočel to stvar? Nisi lagal ljudem, temveč Bogu.«
5 As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and everyone who heard of it was appalled.
In ko je Hananija slišal te besede, je padel dol ter izročil duha. In velik strah je prišel na vse tiste, ki so slišali te stvari.
6 The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.
Mladeniči pa so vstali, ga ovili in ga odnesli ven ter ga pokopali.
7 After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
In bilo je približno tri ure kasneje, ko je vstopila njegova žena, ki ni vedela, kaj se je bilo zgodilo.
8 “Is it true,” Peter asked, addressing her, “that you sold your land for such a sum?” “Yes,” she answered, “we did.”
In Peter jo je ogovoril: »Povej mi ali sta za toliko prodala zemljišče?« In ona je rekla: »Da, za toliko.«
9 Then Peter said, “How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.”
Tedaj ji je Peter rekel: »Kako je to, da sta se skupaj strinjala, da skušata Gospodovega Duha? Glej, stopala teh, ki so pokopala tvojega soproga, so pri vratih in odnesli te bodo ven.«
10 Instantly Sapphira fell down at Peter’s feet and expired. On coming in, the young men found her dead; so they carried her out and buried her by her husband’s side.
Potem je nemudoma padla ob njegovih stopalih in izročila duha. In vstopili so mladeniči ter jo našli mrtvo in ko so jo odnesli, so jo pokopali poleg njenega soproga.
11 The whole church and all who heard of these events were appalled.
In velik strah je prišel nad vso cerkev in nad vse, ki so slišali te stvari.
12 Many signs and wonders continued to occur among the people, through the instrumentality of the apostles, whose custom it was to meet all together in the Colonnade of Solomon;
Po rokah apostolov pa se je med ljudmi zgodilo mnogo znamenj in čudežev; (in vsi so bili s soglasjem v Salomonovem preddverju.
13 but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,
Od preostalih pa se jim noben človek ni drznil pridružiti, toda ljudje so jih poveličevali.
14 and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.
In še več vernikov je bilo dodanih h Gospodu, množice tako moških kakor žensk.)
15 The consequence was that people would bring out their sick even into the streets, and lay them on mattresses and mats, in the hope that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on someone of them.
Toliko, da so na ulice prinašali bolne in jih polagali na postelje ter ležišča, da bi lahko vsaj Petrova senca, ko je šel mimo, zasenčila nekatere izmed njih.
16 Besides this, the inhabitants of the towns around Jerusalem flocked into the city, bringing with them their sick and those who were troubled by foul spirits; and they were cured everyone.
Tudi ven iz mest naokoli Jeruzalema je prišla množica, ki je prinašala bolne ljudi in te, ki so bili nadlegovani z nečistimi duhovi; in vsi so bili ozdravljeni.
17 At this the high priest was roused to action, and he and all his supporters (who formed the party of the Sadducees), moved by jealousy,
Tedaj je vstal véliki duhovnik in vsi tisti, ki so bili z njim (kar je saducejska ločina) in izpolnjeni so bili z ogorčenjem
18 arrested the apostles, and had them placed in custody.
in svoje roke so položili na apostole ter jih vtaknili v skupno ječo.
19 An angel of the Lord, however, opened the prison doors at night and led them out.
Toda Gospodov angel je ponoči odprl vrata ječe in jih privedel naprej ter rekel:
20 “Go,” he said, “and stand in the Temple Courts, and tell the people the whole message of this new life.”
»Pojdite, stopíte in govorite ljudem v templju vse besede tega življenja.«
21 When they heard this, they went at daybreak into the Temple Courts, and began to teach. The high priest and his party, on their arrival, summoned the High Council, including all the leaders of the people among the Israelites, and sent to the jail to fetch the apostles.
In ko so to slišali, so zgodaj zjutraj vstopili v tempelj ter učili. Toda prišel je véliki duhovnik in tisti, ki so bili z njim in so sklicali skupaj véliki zbor in ves senat Izraelovih otrok in poslali k ječi, da bi jih privedli.
22 But, when the officers got there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported that,
Toda ko so prišli častniki in jih niso našli v ječi, so se vrnili ter povedali,
23 while they had found the goal barred securely and the guards posted at the doors, yet, on opening them, they had not found anyone inside.
rekoč: »Ječo smo resnično našli zaprto z vso varnostjo in čuvaje, ki so stali zunaj pred vrati, toda ko smo odprli, v njej nismo našli nobenega človeka.«
24 When the officer in charge at the Temple and the chief priests heard their story, they were perplexed about the apostles and as to what all this would lead to.
Torej ko so véliki duhovnik in tempeljski stotnik ter visoki duhovniki slišali te besede, so se bali k čému se bo to razvilo.
25 Presently, however, someone came and told them, that the men whom they had put in prison were actually standing in the Temple Courts, teaching the people.
Tedaj je nekdo prišel ter jim povedal, rekoč: »Glejte, možje, ki ste jih vtaknili v ječo, stojijo v templju in učijo ljudi.«
26 Then, the officer went with his men and fetched the apostles – without using violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people –
Tedaj je stotnik s častniki odšel in jih privedel brez nasilja, kajti bali so se ljudi, da jih ne bi kamnali.
27 and then brought them before the Council. The high priest demanded an explanation from them.
In ko so jih privedli, so jih postavili pred véliki zbor in véliki duhovnik jih je vprašal,
28 “We gave you strict orders,” he said, “not to teach in this name. Yet you have actually flooded Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to make us responsible for the death of this man.”
rekoč: »Ali vam nismo strogo zapovedali, da naj ne bi učili v tem imenu? In glejte, Jeruzalem ste napolnili s svojim naukom in nad nas nameravate privesti kri tega človeka.«
29 To this Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than people.
Potem so Peter in drugi apostoli odgovorili ter rekli: »Mi moramo bolj ubogati Boga kakor ljudi.
30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a cross.
Bog naših očetov je obudil Jezusa, ki ste ga vi usmrtili in obesili na les.
31 It is this Jesus whom God has exalted to his right hand, to be a guide and a Savior, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
Njega je Bog s svojo desnico povišal, da postane Princ in Odrešenik, da bi Izraelu dal kesanje in odpuščanje grehov.
32 And we are witness to the truth of this, and so is the Holy Spirit – the gift of God to those who obey him.”
In mi smo njegove priče o teh stvareh; in tako je tudi Sveti Duh, ki ga je Bog dal tistim, ki ga ubogajo.«
33 The members of the Council became frantic with rage on hearing this, and were for putting the apostles to death.
Ko so to slišali, so bili do srca zbodeni in se posvetovali, da jih ubijejo.
34 But Gamaliel, a Pharisee, who was a Doctor of the Law and who was held in universal respect, rose in the Council, and directed that the men should be taken out of court for a little while.
Potem je nekdo v vélikem zboru vstal, farizej, po imenu Gamáliel, učen mož postave, ugleden med vsemi ljudmi in velel, da jih za nekaj časa vržejo ven;
35 He then said, “People of Israel, take care as to what you intend to do with these men.
in jim rekel: »Vi, možje v Izraelu, pazite se, kaj nameravate storiti glede teh ljudi.
36 For not long ago Theudas appeared, professing to be somebody, and was joined by a body of some four hundred men. But he was killed; and all his followers scattered and dwindled away.
Kajti pred temi dnevi je vstal Tevdá, ki se je bahal, da je pomemben; kateremu so se pridružili številni ljudje, okoli štiristo; ki je bil umorjen, in vsi, kolikor se mu jih je pokoravalo, so bili razkropljeni in uničeni.
37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared at the time of the census, and induced people to follow him; yet he, too, perished and all his followers were dispersed.
Po tem možu je, v dneh obdavčenja, vstal Juda iz Galileje in za seboj potegnil mnogo ljudi; tudi on je umrl in vsi so bili razkropljeni, celó tako mnogi, kot so ga ubogali.
38 And, in this present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these men, but to leave them alone, for, if their designs and their work are merely of human origin, they will come to an end;
In sedaj vam povem: ›Zadržite se pred temi ljudmi in pustite jih pri miru. Kajti če je ta namera ali to delo od ljudi, se bo izjalovilo;
39 but, if they are of divine origin, you will be powerless to put an end to them – or else you may find yourselves fighting against God!”
toda če je to od Boga, tega ne morete premagati, da ne bi bili morda najdeni celo, da se borite zoper Boga.‹«
40 The Council followed his advice, and, calling the apostles in, had them flogged, and then, after cautioning them not to speak in the name of Jesus, set them free.
In strinjali so se z njim. Ko pa so poklicali apostole ter jih pretepli, so jim zapovedali, da naj ne govorijo v Jezusovem imenu in jih izpustili.
41 But the apostles left the Council, rejoicing that they had been thought worthy to suffer disgrace for that name;
In odšli so izpred prisotnosti vélikega zbora, veseli, da so bili spoznani za vredne trpeti sramoto zaradi njegovega imena.
42 and never for a single day, either in the Temple Courts or in private houses, did they cease to teach, or to tell the good news of Jesus, the Christ.
In niso prenehali v templju in v vsaki hiši vsak dan učiti ter oznanjati Jezusa Kristusa.
