Acts 25
1 Festus, [who was now the governor] of the province, arrived in Caesarea, and three days later he went up to Jerusalem.
Fest torej, ko je bil prišel v deželo, izšel je črez tri dnî iz Cezareje v Jeruzalem.
2 In Jerusalem, the chief priests and [other] Jewish leaders formally told [Festus] about [the things that they said] that Paul [had done that were wrong].
In prišli so k njemu véliki duhovni in prvaki Judovski zoper Pavla, in prosili so ga,
3 They urgently asked Festus to do something for them. [They asked him to command soldiers] to bring Paul to Jerusalem, [so that Festus could put him on trial there]. But they were planning that some [of them] would hide [near the road] and wait [for Paul] and kill him when he was traveling [to Jerusalem].
Iskajoč milosti zoper njega, da bi ga poslal v Jeruzalem, in zalezovali so, da bi ga umorili na poti.
4 But Festus replied, “Paul is in Caesarea, and is being guarded {[soldiers] are guarding him} [there]. I myself will go down to Caesarea in a few days.
Fest pa odgovorí, da se Pavel varuje v Cezareji, in da on sam kmalu pojde tje.
5 Choose some of your leaders to go there with me. [While they are there], they can accuse Paul of the wrong things that you say that he has done.”
Kteri torej od vas morejo, reče, naj z menoj snidejo, in če je kakošna krivica na tem možu, naj ga tožijo.
6 After Festus had been [in Jerusalem] eight or ten days, he went back down to Caesarea. [Several of the Jewish leaders also went there]. The next day Festus [commanded] that Paul be brought {someone to bring Paul} to him [in the assembly hall] so that he could judge him.
In prebivši med njimi ne več kakor deset dnî, snide v Cezarejo, in drugi dan sede na sodišče, in ukaže Pavla pripeljati.
7 [After] Paul was brought to [the assembly hall], the Jewish [leaders] from Jerusalem gathered around him [to accuse him]. They told [Festus] that Paul had committed many crimes. But they could not prove [that Paul had done the things about which they accused him].
Ko ga pa pripeljejo, obstopijo ga Judje, kteri so prišli iz Jeruzalema, in prinašali so zoper Pavla mnoge in težke krivice, kterih niso mogli izkazati,
8 Then Paul [spoke] to defend himself. He said to Festus, “I have done nothing wrong against the laws of us [(exc)] Jews, and I have not disobeyed the rules concerning our Temple. I have also done nothing wrong against your government [MTY].”
Ko se je Pavel zagovarjal: Nič se nisem pregrešil ne zoper postavo Judovsko, ne zoper tempelj, ne zoper cesarja.
9 But Festus wanted to please the Jewish [leaders, so] he asked Paul, “Are you [(sg)] willing to go up to Jerusalem so that I can listen as these men accuse you [there]?”
Fest pa, hoteč Judom ugoditi, odgovorí Pavlu in reče: Hočeš iti gor v Jeruzalem, da te tam sodim za to?
10 But Paul [did not want to do that. So] he said [to Festus], “[No], I [am not willing to go to Jerusalem]! I am [now] standing before you, and you [(sg)] are the judge [whom the Roman] Emperor [MTY] [has authorized. This is the place] where I should be judged {where you should judge me}. I have not wronged the Jewish people [at all], as you know very well.
Pavel pa reče: Na cesarjevem sodišči stojim, kjer me je treba soditi; Judom nisem nobene krivice storil, kakor tudi ti dobro veš.
11 If I had done something bad [for which I] should be executed {[concerning which the law said that they] should execute me}, I would not plead [with them that they] not kill me. But none of these things about which they accuse me is [true, so] no one can [legally] surrender me to [these Jews]. So I formally request that the emperor [MTY] [should judge me at Rome].”
Kajti če sem kriv, in sem kaj smrti vrednega storil, ne branim se umreti; če pa nič tega ni, česar me dolžé, ne more me nihče njim izdati. Na cesarja se sklicujem.
12 Then after Festus conferred with the [men who regularly] advised him, he replied to Paul, “You [(sg)] have formally requested [that I should send you] to the emperor [in Rome. So I will arrange for] you to go there [in order that he can judge you].”
Tedaj Fest, pogovorivši se z zborom, reče: Na cesarja si se sklical, k cesarju pojdeš.
13 After several days, King [Herod] Agrippa arrived at Caesarea, along with [his younger sister] Bernice. They had come to [formally] welcome Festus [as the new Governor of the province].
Ko je pa minilo nekoliko dnî, prideta Agripa kralj in Bernika v Cezarejo pozdravljat Festa.
14 King Agrippa and Bernice stayed many days in Caesarea. While [they were] there, Festus told Agrippa about Paul. He said to the king, “There is a man here whom Felix kept in prison [while he was governor]. He left him [there when his time as governor ended].
Ko sta se pa več dnî tam mudila, pové Fest kralju zadevo Pavlovo, govoreč: Nekega moža je pustil Feliks v ječi,
15 When I went to Jerusalem, the chief priests and [the other] Jewish elders told me that this man had done many things [against their laws]. They asked me to condemn him [to be executed] {judge him [so that people could kill him]}.
Za voljo kterega so, ko sem bil v Jeruzalemu, prišli k meni véliki duhovni in starešine Judovski, proseč, naj ga obsodim;
16 But I told them that when someone has been accused [of a crime, we] Romans do not immediately (condemn that person/declare that person to be guilty). First, we [command] him to stand before the people who are accusing him and to say whether or not he has done those things. [After that, the judge will decide what to do with] him.
Kterim sem odgovoril, da ni navada pri Rimljanih, da bi se izdal kakošen človek na smrt; dokler obtoženi nima pred licem tožnikov, in ne prejme mesta, da se zagovarja za krivico.
17 So those Jews came [here to Caesarea] when I came. I did not delay. The day after [we(exc) arrived], after I sat down at the place where I make decisions, I [commanded] that Paul be brought {[soldiers] to bring Paul} into [the courtroom].
Ko so se torej tu sešli, sedel sem brez vsega odlašanja drugi dan na sodišče, in ukazal sem moža pripeljati;
18 The Jewish leaders did accuse him, but the things about which they accused him were not any of the [evil] crimes about which I thought [they would accuse him].
Kogar tožniki stoječ tam, niso nobene takošne krivice očitali, kakoršnih sem pričakoval jaz;
19 Instead, what they argued about with him were some teachings that [some] Jews believe [and others do not believe. They argued] about a man whose name was Jesus who had died, [but the man they were accusing, whose name is] Paul, kept saying, ‘Jesus is alive again.’
Nego nekošna vprašanja o svojej praznej veri so imeli zoper njega, in o nekošnem Jezusu, kteri je umrl, za kogar je Pavel trdil, da živí.
20 I did not know what questions to ask [them, and I did not know how to judge] concerning their dispute. So I asked Paul, ‘Are you [(sg)] willing to go [back] to Jerusalem and have the dispute [between you and these Jews] judged there {and [let me] judge there the dispute [between you and these Jews]}?’
Jaz pa, ne vedoč, kaj bi na to vprašanje odgovoril, rekel sem, ako bi hotel iti v Jeruzalem, in tam sojen biti za to,
21 But Paul answered, ‘[No]. I [am not willing to go to Jerusalem]!
Ko se je pa Pavel oglasil, da naj ga varujemo do Avgustove sodbe, ukazal sem ga varovati, dokler ga ne pošljem k cesarju.
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.”
Agripa pa Festu reče: Rad bi tudi jaz tega človeka slišal. On pa: Jutri, reče, ga boš slišal.
23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice came very ceremoniously to the assembly hall. Some [Roman] commanders and prominent men in [Caesarea] came with them. Then, Festus told an officer to bring Paul. So after the officer [went to the prison and] brought him,
Drugi dan pa, ko je prišel Agripa in Bernika z veliko slavo, in sta vstopila v sodnišnico, z jezerniki in najimenitnijimi mestnimi možmi, in je bil Fest ukazal, pripeljejo Pavla.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all [the rest of you] who are here, you see this man. Many [HYP] Jews in Jerusalem and also those here [in Caesarea] appealed to me, screaming that we [(exc)] should not let him live any longer.
In Fest reče: Agripa kralj, in vsi možjé, kteri ste tu z nami! vidite tega, za voljo kterega me je vsa množica Judov nadlegovala v Jeruzalemu in tu, kričeč, da ne sme več živeti.
25 But [when I asked them to tell me what he had done, and they told me], I found out that he had not done anything for which he should be executed {[anyone should] execute him}. However, he has asked that our emperor [should judge his case], so I have decided to send him to Rome.
Jaz pa, ko sem spoznal, da ni nič smrti vrednega storil, in se je tudi on sam sklical na cesarja, sklenil sem ga poslati;
26 But I do not know what specifically I should write to the emperor concerning him. That is why I have brought him here. I [want] you all [to hear him speak], and I especially want you [(sg)], King Agrippa, to hear him. Then, after we [(inc)] have questioned him, I may know what I should write [to the emperor about him].
Za kterega nimam kaj gotovega pisati gospodarju: za to sem ga pripeljal pred vas, in zlasti pred tebe, kralj Agripa, da bom, ko se izpraša, imel kaj pisati.
27 It seems to me [that it would be] unreasonable to send a prisoner [to the emperor in Rome without my] specifying the [things about which people] are accusing him.”
Kajti neumno mi se zdí poslati zvezanega, krivice pa njegove ne naznaniti.
