Acts 15
1 And certain men came down from Judaea and taught the brethren, [saying], Except ye be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Neki ljudje, ki so prišli dol iz Judeje, pa so učili brate in govorili: »Razen če ne boste obrezani po Mojzesovem običaju, ne morete biti rešeni.«
2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and questioning with them, [the brethren] appointed that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
Ko sta imela torej Pavel in Barnaba z njimi ne majhno razhajanje mnenj ter se z njimi pričkala, so odločili, da naj bi glede tega vprašanja Pavel in Barnaba ter nekateri drugi izmed njih šli gor v Jeruzalem, k apostolom in starešinam.
3 They therefore, being brought on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
In na njihovo pot spremljani s cerkvijo, so šli skozi Fenikijo in Samarijo in razglašali spreobrnitev poganov in vsem bratom so napravili veliko radost.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church and the apostles and the elders, and they rehearsed all things that God had done with them.
In ko so prišli v Jeruzalem, so bili sprejeti od cerkve in od apostolov ter starešin in razglasili so vse stvari, ki jih je Bog z njimi storil.
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, It is needful to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.
Toda vstali so nekateri iz ločine farizejev, ki so verovali, rekoč: »Da jih je treba obrezati in jim naročiti, naj se držijo Mojzesove postave.«
6 And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider of this matter.
In apostoli in starešine so prišli skupaj, da preudarijo o tej besedi.
7 And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
In ko je bilo mnogo razpravljanja, je vstal Peter ter jim rekel: »Možje in bratje, vi veste, kako to, da je Bog pred davnim časom naredil med nami izbiro, da naj bi pogani po mojih ustih slišali besedo evangelija in verovali.
8 And God, which knoweth the heart, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
In Bog, ki pozna srca, jim pričuje, ker jim daje Svetega Duha, prav tako kakor je storil nam
9 and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
in ni naredil nobene razlike med nami ter njimi, ko je po veri očistil njihova srca.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, that ye should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Zakaj torej zdaj skušate Boga, da nadenete na vrat učencev jarem, ki ga niti naši očetje niti mi nismo mogli nositi?
11 But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they.
Ampak mi verujemo, da bomo rešeni po milosti Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, prav tako kakor oni.«
12 And all the multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Potem je vsa množica molčala in poslušala Barnaba in Pavla, ki sta razglašala, kakšne čudežne moči in čudeže je po njiju Bog storil med pogani.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me:
In potem, ko so molčali, je Jakob odgovoril, rekoč: »Možje in bratje, prisluhnite mi.
14 Symeon hath rehearsed how first God did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Simeon je povedal, kako je Bog najprej obiskal pogane, da vzame izmed njih ljudi za svoje ime.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
In k temu se ujemajo besede prerokov, kakor je pisano:
16 After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:
›Po tem se bom vrnil in ponovno zgradil Davidovo šotorsko svetišče, ki je padlo in ruševine le-tega bom ponovno zgradil in jaz ga bom ponovno postavil,
17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,
da bi lahko preostanek ljudi iskal Gospoda in vsi pogani, nad katere je klicano moje ime, govori Gospod, ki dela vse te stvari.‹
Bogu so vsa njegova dela znana od začetka sveta. (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them which from among the Gentiles turn to God;
Zatorej je moja razsodba, da ne vznemirjamo teh, ki so se iz poganstva obrnili k Bogu,
20 but that we write unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
temveč, da jim napišemo, da se vzdržijo pred oskrunitvijo od malikov in pred prešuštvom in pred zadavljenimi stvarmi in pred krvjo.
21 For Moses from generations of old hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
Kajti Mojzes ima od starih časov v vsakem mestu tiste, ki ga oznanjajo, beroč vsak šabatni dan v sinagogah.«
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; [namely], Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
Tedaj je apostolom in starešinam s celotno cerkvijo to ugajalo, da s Pavlom in Barnabom pošljejo v Antiohijo izbrana moža iz svoje lastne skupine; namreč Juda, imenovanega z vzdevkom Bársaba in Sila, vodilna moža med brati.
23 and they wrote [thus] by them, The apostles and the elder brethren unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting:
In po njiju so napisali pisma na ta način: ›Apostoli, starešine in bratje pošiljamo pozdrave bratom, ki so izmed poganov v Antiohiji in Siriji ter Kilikiji,
24 Forasmuch as we have heard that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment;
ker smo slišali, da so vas nekateri, ki so odšli izmed nas, vznemirjali z besedami in spodkopavali vaše duše, rekoč: ›Vi morate biti obrezani in se držati postave, ‹ katerim nismo dali nobene takšne zapovedi.
25 it seemed good unto us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Nam, ki smo soglasno zbrani, se zdi dobro, da z našima ljubljenima Barnabom in Pavlom pošljemo k vam izbrana moža,
26 men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
moža, ki sta svoja življenja tvegala zaradi imena našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Poslali smo torej Juda in Sila, ki vam bosta iste stvari povedala ustno.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Kajti Svetemu Duhu in nam se zdi dobro, da vam ne nalagamo večjega bremena kakor te potrebne stvari:
29 that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well.
da se vzdržite pred hrano, darovano malikom in pred krvjo in pred zadavljenimi stvarmi ter pred prešuštvom. Če sebe obvarujete pred njimi, boste storili v redu. Mnogo uspeha.‹
30 So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.
Torej ko so bili odposlani, so prišli v Antiohijo in ko so skupaj zbrali množico, so izročili poslanico,
31 And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation.
katere so se, zaradi tolažbe, ko so jo brali, razveselili.
32 And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
Juda in Sila, ki sta bila tudi sama preroka, pa sta brate z mnogimi besedami spodbujala in jih krepila.
33 And after they had spent some time [there], they were dismissed in peace from the brethren unto those that had sent them forth.
In potem, ko sta se kratek čas mudila tam, sta od bratov v miru odšla k apostolom.
Vendar je Sili ugajalo, da še ostane tam.
35 But Paul and Barnabas tarried in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Tudi Pavel in Barnaba sta prav tako nadaljevala z mnogimi drugimi v Antiohiji in učila ter oznanjala Gospodovo besedo.
36 And after some days Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city wherein we proclaimed the word of the Lord, [and see] how they fare.
Nekaj dni kasneje je Pavel rekel Barnabu: »Pojdiva ponovno in obiščiva naše brate v vsakem mestu, kjer sva oznanjala Gospodovo besedo in poglejva, kako so.«
37 And Barnabas was minded to take with them John also, who was called Mark.
In Barnaba se je odločil, da s seboj vzameta Janeza, katerega vzdevek je bil Marko.
38 But Paul thought not good to take with them him who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
Toda Pavlu se ni zdelo dobro z njima vzeti tistega, ki je iz Pamfilije odšel od njiju in z njima ni odšel na delo.
39 And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted asunder one from the other, and Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away unto Cyprus;
Spor med njima pa je bil tako oster, da sta se ločila narazen drug od drugega. In tako je Barnaba vzel Marka ter odjadral na Ciper,
40 but Paul chose Silas, and went forth, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.
Pavel pa je izbral Sila in odšel, od bratov priporočen Božji milosti.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
In odšel je skozi Sirijo in Kilikijo in krepil cerkve.
