¹And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

¹In pridejo nekateri iz Judeje in uče brate: Če se ne obrežete po šegi Mojzesovi, se ne morete zveličati.

²When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

²Ko je torej nastal razpor in sta se Pavel in Barnaba nemalo prepirala ž njimi, sklenejo, da naj gredo Pavel in Barnaba in nekateri drugi izmed njih gori k apostolom in starejšinam v Jeruzalem zaradi tega vprašanja.

³And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

³Ko jih je torej cerkev spremila, so šli skozi Fenicijo in Samarijo, pripovedujoč izpreobrnjenje poganov, in so s tem napravljali veliko radost vsem bratom.

⁴And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

⁴Ko so pa dospeli v Jeruzalem, so jih ljubeznivo sprejeli cerkev in apostoli in starejšine, in sporočili so, koliko reči je Bog ž njimi storil.

⁵But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

⁵Ali vstane jih nekaj od ločine farizejev, ki so bili vero sprejeli, in reko: Obrezovati se morajo, in naročiti se mora, naj izpolnjujejo postavo Mojzesovo.

⁶And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.

⁶In apostoli in starejšine se zbero, da presodijo to reč.

⁷And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

⁷Ko so se pa že mnogo prepirali, vstane Peter in jim reče: Možje in bratje! Vi veste, da je od prvih dni Bog med vami izbral, da bi po mojih ustih slišali pogani besedo evangelija in sprejeli vero.

⁸And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

⁸In Bog, ki pozna srca, je izpričal zanje, davši jim svetega Duha, kakor tudi nam,

⁹And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

⁹in nobenega razločka ni postavil med nami in njimi, ko je po veri očistil njih srca.

¹⁰Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

¹⁰Sedaj torej, kaj izkušate Boga, da nakladate učencem jarem na vrat, ki ga ne očetje naši, ne mi nismo mogli prenašati?

¹¹But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

¹¹Temuč verujemo, da se po milosti Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa zveličamo prav tako, kakor tudi oni.

¹²Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

¹²Vsa množica pa umolkne; in poslušajo Barnaba in Pavla, ki pripovedujeta, kolika znamenja in čudeže je Bog storil po njiju med pogani.

¹³And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

¹³Ko sta pa umolknila, izpregovori Jakob in reče: Možje in bratje, čujte me!

¹⁴Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

¹⁴Simon je povedal, kako je Bog najprvo obiskal pogane, da bi izmed njih prejel ljudstvo imenu svojemu.

¹⁵And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

¹⁵In s tem se ujemajo besede prorokov, kakor je pisano:

¹⁶After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

¹⁶„Potem se vrnem in zopet zgradim dom Davidov, ki je padel: in razvaline njegove zopet sezidam in ga postavim,

¹⁷That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

¹⁷da ljudje, ki ostanejo, poiščejo Gospoda in vsi pogani, ki se je nad njimi klicalo ime moje:

¹⁸Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

¹⁸pravi Gospod, ki to, od vekomaj znano, izvršuje“.

¹⁹Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

¹⁹Zato sodim jaz, naj se ne nadlegujejo ti, ki se izmed poganov izpreobrnejo k Bogu;

²⁰But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

²⁰ali naj se jim piše, da naj se zdržujejo ognušenja z maliki in nečistosti in zadavljenega in krvi.

²¹For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

²¹Kajti Mojzes jih ima od starodavnih časov dosti po vseh mestih, ki ga oznanjujejo, ko se vsako soboto njegova postava čita po shodnicah.

²²Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:

²²Tedaj so apostoli in starejšine z vso cerkvijo sklenili izvoliti može izmed sebe in poslati v Antiohijo s Pavlom in Barnabom: Juda, s priimkom Barsaba, in Sila, ki sta bila voditelja med brati.

²³And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.

²³In poslali so po njih to pismo: apostoli in starejšine in bratje pozdravljajo brate izmed poganov, ki so po Antiohiji in Siriji in Ciliciji.

²⁴Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

²⁴Slišali smo, da so nekateri izmed nas izšli in so vas zbegali s svojim govorjenjem in zmotili duše vaše, katerim nismo ničesar naročili;

²⁵It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

²⁵zato smo sklenili, ene misli zbrani, izvoliti može in poslati k vam z ljubljenima našima Barnabom in Pavlom,

²⁶Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁶človekoma, ki sta žrtvovala življenje svoje za ime Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa.

²⁷We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

²⁷Poslali smo torej Juda in Sila, ki bosta tudi sama ustno isto povedala.

²⁸For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

²⁸Vzvidelo se je namreč svetemu Duhu in nam, nobenega bremena vam več ne nakladati, razen teh potrebnih reči:

²⁹That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

²⁹da se zdržujte malikom darovanega in krvi in zadavljenega in nečistosti. Če se boste tega varovali, boste prav delali. Zdravi!

³⁰So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

³⁰Poslanci so torej, ko so jih bili odpravili, prišli v Antiohijo; pa zbero množico in izroče pismo.

³¹Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

³¹Ko so ga pa prebrali, so se razveselili te tolažbe.

³²And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

³²A Juda in Sila, ki sta bila tudi proroka, sta tolažila in utrjevala brate z mnogimi besedami.

³³And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.

³³In ko sta nekaj časa tu prebila, so ju odpustili bratje v miru k tem, ki so ju bili poslali. [

³⁴Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

³⁴Sklenil je pa Sila tam ostati.]

³⁵Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

³⁵A Pavel in Barnaba sta se pomudila v Antiohiji in sta učila in oznanjevala besedo Gospodovo še z mnogimi drugimi.

³⁶And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do.

³⁶Čez nekoliko dni pa reče Pavel Barnabu: Vrniva se in obiščiva brate po vseh mestih, ki sva v njih oznanila besedo Gospodovo, da vidiva, kako se jim godi.

³⁷And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.

³⁷Barnaba je pa hotel, da bi vzela s seboj tudi Janeza, ki se je imenoval Marko.

³⁸But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

³⁸Pavlu pa se je bolje zdelo, da tega, ki se je ločil od njiju v Pamfiliji in ni šel ž njima na delo, ne bi jemala s seboj.

³⁹And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

³⁹In nastane razpor, tako da se ločita drug od drugega, in Barnaba vzame Marka in se odpelje po morju na Ciper.

⁴⁰And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

⁴⁰A Pavel si izbere Sila in odpotuje, priporočen milosti Božji od bratov.In hodil je po Siriji in Ciliciji in je utrjeval cerkve.

⁴¹And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.

⁴¹In hodil je po Siriji in Ciliciji in je utrjeval cerkve.
