Acts 1
1 The first account which I drew up, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught from the very first,
Prejšnje poročilo sem naredil, oh Teófil, o vsem, kar je Jezus začel, tako delati kakor učiti,
2 down to that day on which he was taken up to heaven, after he had, by the help of the Holy Spirit, given instructions to the apostles whom he had chosen.
do dne, v katerem je bil vzet gor, potem ko je po Svetem Duhu dal zapovedi apostolom, ki jih je izbral;
3 With abundant proofs, he showed himself to them, still living, after his death; appearing to them from time to time during forty days, and speaking of all that related to the kingdom of God.
katerim se je, po svojem trpljenju, tudi pokazal živega, z mnogimi nezmotljivimi dokazi, ki so jih gledali štirideset dni in govorili o stvareh, ki se nanašajo na Božje kraljestvo;
4 And once, when he had gathered them together, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the fulfillment of the Father’s promise – “that promise,” he said, “of which you have heard me speak;
in ko je bil zbran skupaj z njimi, jim je zapovedal, da naj ne odidejo iz Jeruzalema, temveč čakajo na Očetovo obljubo: »Katero, « on pravi, »ste slišali od mene.
5 for, while John baptized with water, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit before many days have passed.”
Kajti Janez je resnično krščeval z vodo, toda vi boste krščeni s Svetim Duhom, čez ne mnogo dni.«
6 So, when the apostles had met together, they asked Jesus this question – “Master, is this the time when you intend to re-establish the kingdom for Israel?”
Ko so torej prišli skupaj, so ga vprašali, rekoč: »Gospod, ali boš v tem času Izraelu ponovno obnovil kraljestvo?«
7 His answer was, “It is not for you to know times or hours, for the Father has reserved these for his own decision;
In rekel jim je: »Ni za vas, da bi vedeli čase ali obdobja, ki jih je Oče postavil v svoji lastni oblasti.
8 but you will receive power, when the Holy Spirit will have descended on you, and will be witnesses for me not only in Jerusalem, but throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Toda prejeli boste moč, po tem, ko Sveti Duh pride nad vas, in vi mi boste priče, tako v Jeruzalemu kakor po vsej Judeji in v Samariji ter do skrajnega dela zemlje.«
9 No sooner had Jesus said this than he was caught up before their eyes, and a cloud received him from their sight.
In ko je govoril te besede, medtem ko so ga gledali, je bil vzet gor, in oblak ga je sprejel iz njihovega pogleda.
10 While they were still gazing up into the heavens, as he went, suddenly two men, clothed in white, stood beside them,
In medtem ko so neomajno gledali proti nebu, ko je šel gor, glej, sta poleg njih stala dva moža v belih oblekah,
11 and said, “People of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up into the heavens? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into the heavens, will come in the same way in which you have seen him go into the heavens.”
ki sta prav tako rekla: »Vi, možje iz Galileje, zakaj stojite strmeč v nebo? Ta isti Jezus, ki je bil od vas vzet gor v nebesa, bo prišel tako, na podoben način, kakor ste ga videli iti v nebo.«
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called Olivet, which is about three quarters of a mile from the city.
Tedaj so se z gore, imenovane Oljska, ki je šabatni dan poti od Jeruzalema, vrnili v Jeruzalem.
13 When they reached Jerusalem, they went to the upstairs room, where they were staying. There were there Peter, John, James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
In ko so prišli vanj, so odšli gor v gornjo sobo, kjer so prebivali Peter in Jakob in Janez in Andrej, Filip in Tomaž, Bartolomej in Matej, Alfejev sin Jakob in Simon Gorečnik ter Jakobov brat Juda.
14 They all united in devoting themselves to prayer, and so did some women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Vsi ti so soglasno vztrajali v molitvi in ponižni prošnji z ženskami in Marijo, Jezusovo materjo ter z njegovimi brati.
15 About this time, at a meeting of the Lord’s followers, when there were about a hundred and twenty present, Peter rose to speak.
In v tistih dneh je sredi učencev vstal Peter ter rekel (skupno število imen je bilo okoli sto dvajset):
16 “Friends,” he said, “it was necessary that the prediction of scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit made by the lips of David about Judas, who acted as guide to the men who arrested Jesus,
»Možje in bratje, to pismo se je brezpogojno moralo izpolniti, ki ga je Sveti Duh po Davidovih ustih prej govoril glede Juda, ki je bil vodnik tem, ki so prijeli Jezusa.
17 for he was one of our number and had his part allotted him in this work of ours.”
Kajti bil je štet z nami in je dosegel delež te službe.
18 (This man had bought a piece of land with the price of his treachery; and, falling heavily, his body had burst open, and all his bowels protruded.
Torej ta človek je s krivično nagrado kupil polje in ko je padel z glavo naprej, se je po sredi razpočil in vsa njegova notranjost se je izlila ven.
19 This became known to everyone living in Jerusalem, so that the field came to be called, in their language, ‘Akeldama,’ which means the ‘Field of Blood.’)
In to je bilo znano vsem jeruzalemskim prebivalcem, tako zelo, da se to polje v njihovem pravem jeziku imenuje Hakéldama, to se pravi: ›Njiva krvi.‹
20 “For in the book of Psalms,” Peter continued, “it is said – ‘Let his home become desolate, and let no one live in it’; and also – ‘His office let another take.’
Kajti pisano je v knjigi Psalmov: ›Naj bo njegovo prebivališče zapuščeno in naj noben človek ne prebiva v njem in njegovo duhovno nadzorništvo naj prevzame nekdo drug.‹
21 Therefore, from among the men who have been with us all the time that Jesus, our Master, went in and out among us –
Zatorej izmed teh ljudi, ki so se z nami družili ves čas, ko je Gospod Jezus hodil med nami noter in ven,
22 from his baptism by John down to that day on which he was taken from us – someone must be found to join us as a witness of his resurrection.”
začenši od Janezovega krsta do tega istega dne, ko je bil od nas vzet gor, mora biti nekdo odrejen, da bo z nami priča njegovega vstajenja.«
23 So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias;
In določili so dva, Jožefa, imenovanega Bársaba, ki je bil imenovan z vzdevkom Just ter Matija.
24 and they offered this prayer – “Lord, who reads all hearts, show which of these two men you have chosen
In molili so ter rekli: »Ti, Gospod, ki poznaš srca vseh ljudi, pokaži, katerega izmed teh dveh si izbral,
25 to take the place in this apostolic work, which Judas has abandoned, to go to his proper place.”
da lahko prevzame del te službe in apostolstva, od katerega je Juda s prestopkom odpadel, da bi lahko šel na svoj lasten kraj.«
26 Then they drew lots between them; and, the lot having fallen to Matthias, he was added to the number of the eleven apostles.
In naznanili so svoje žrebe in žreb je padel na Matija in ta je bil prištet enajsterim apostolom.
