¹Now the apostles and the brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

¹Zaslišijo pa apostoli in bratje, ki so bivali po Judeji, da so tudi pogani sprejeli besedo Božjo.

²When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

²Ko pa je prišel Peter v Jeruzalem, so se prepirali ž njim, ki so bili iz obreze,

³saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”

³in so dejali: K možem neobrezanim si šel in si jedel ž njimi!

⁴But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

⁴Peter pa začne in jim razloži vse po vrsti, govoreč:

⁵“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

⁵Molil sem v mestu Jopi, in zamaknjen vidim prikazen: nekaka posoda, kakor velik prt, gre navzdol in se za štiri vogle spušča z neba, in pride do mene.

⁶When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

⁶In ko pogledam vanjo, opazim in ugledam četveronožce in zver in golazen zemlje in ptice nebeške.

⁷I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

⁷Zaslišim pa tudi glas, da mi pravi: Vstani, Peter, kolji in jej!

⁸But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

⁸In rečem: Nikakor ne, Gospod, kajti nič nagnusnega ali nečistega ni nikoli prišlo v usta moja.

⁹But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

⁹Odgovori mi pa glas z neba v drugič: Kar je Bog očistil, ne imej ti za nečisto.

¹⁰This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹⁰To pa se je zgodilo trikrat, in zopet je bilo vse vzeto v nebo.

¹¹Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

¹¹In glej, v tem trenutku stoje trije možje pred hišo, v kateri sem bil, poslani k meni iz Cezareje.

¹²The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

¹²In Duh mi veli, naj grem ž njimi brez pomišljevanja. Šlo je pa z menoj tudi tehle šest bratov, in vstopili smo v hišo moževo.

¹³He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,

¹³In povedal nam je, kako je videl angela v hiši svoji, da je pristopil in rekel: Pošlji v Jopo in pokliči Simona s priimkom Peter,

¹⁴who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

¹⁴ki ti bo govoril besede, po katerih boš zveličan ti in vsa hiša tvoja.

¹⁵As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

¹⁵Ko pa jim začnem govoriti, pride sveti Duh nanje, kakor na nas v začetku.

¹⁶I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’

¹⁶Tu sem se spomnil besede Gospodove, kakor je povedal: Janez sicer je krstil z vodo, ali vi boste krščeni s svetim Duhom.

¹⁷If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”

¹⁷Ko jim je torej dal Bog prav ta dar kakor tudi nam, ko smo sprejeli vero v Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa: kdo pa sem bil jaz, da bi jaz mogel Bogu zabraniti?

¹⁸When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

¹⁸Ko so pa to slišali, so se pomirili, in slavili so Boga, rekoč: Torej tudi poganom je Bog dal izpokorjenje za življenje!

¹⁹They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

¹⁹Tisti pa, ki so se razkropili po stiski, ki je bila nastala spričo Štefana, so prehodili vse kraje prav do Fenicije in Cipra in Antiohije, nikomur ne oznanjujoč besede Božje, razen samo Judom.

²⁰But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, A Hellenist is someone who keeps Greek customs and culture. preaching the Lord Jesus.

²⁰Bili so pa nekateri izmed njih Ciprani in Cirenci, ki so, prišedši v Antiohijo, govorili tudi Grkom in oznanjevali evangelij Gospoda Jezusa.

²¹The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

²¹In roka Gospodova je bila ž njimi; in veliko število se jih je, sprejemši vero, izpreobrnilo h Gospodu.

²²The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,

²²In glas o njih pride do ušes cerkvi, ki je bila v Jeruzalemu: in odpošljejo Barnaba, naj gre v Antiohijo.

²³who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

²³Ko pride ta in vidi milost Božjo, se razveseli in opominja vse, naj s stanovitnim srcem vztrajajo pri Gospodu.

²⁴For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.

²⁴Bil je namreč dober mož in poln svetega Duha in vere. In veliko ljudstva se tu pridruži Gospodu.

²⁵Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.

²⁵Barnaba pa odide v Tars iskat Savla; in ko ga je našel, ga pripelje v Antiohijo.

²⁶When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

²⁶Zgodi se pa, da sta bila celo leto pri zborovanjih v cerkvi in sta učila precejšnjo množico, in da so učenci najprvo v Antiohiji bili imenovani Kristjani.

²⁷Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

²⁷V tej dneh so pa prišli iz Jeruzalema proroki v Antiohijo.

²⁸One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.

²⁸In vstane eden izmed njih, po imenu Agab, ter oznani po Duhu, da nastane velika lakota po vsem svetu, ki je tudi prišla za Klavdija cesarja.

²⁹As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

²⁹Tedaj sklenejo učenci, vsak po zmožnosti svoji, poslati v pomoč bratom, ki so prebivali v Judeji;to so tudi storili, poslavši starejšinam po roki Barnabovi in Savlovi.

³⁰which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

³⁰to so tudi storili, poslavši starejšinam po roki Barnabovi in Savlovi.
