¹Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

¹In šla sta skozi Amfipol in Apolonijo in prišla v Solun, kjer je bila shodnica Judov.

²Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

²In Pavel gre po svoji navadi k njim in se razgovarja ž njimi tri sobote na podlagi pisem,

³explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”

³razodevajoč in dokazujoč, da je moral Kristus trpeti in vstati iz mrtvih, in da ‚ta Jezus, ki ga vam jaz oznanjujem, je Kristus‘.

⁴Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

⁴In nekateri izmed njih so se dali prepričati in so se pridružili Pavlu in Sili, tudi pobožnih Grkov velika množica in imenitnih žen ne malo.

⁵But the unpersuaded Jews took along TR reads “And the Jews who were unpersuaded, becoming envious and taking along” instead of “But the unpersuaded Jews took along” some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.

⁵Ali Jude je zavist prevzela, in ko so privzeli nekaj hudobnih mož izmed druhali in zbrali trumo, so napravili vstajo v mestu. In obstopijo hišo Jazonovo in ju iščejo, da bi ju pripeljali pred ljudstvo.

⁶When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

⁶Ko pa ju niso našli, privlečejo Jazona in nekatere brate pred mestne poglavarje, vpijoč: Ti, ki ves svet narobe prevračajo, ti so tudi sem prišli,

⁷whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”

⁷in Jazon jih je sprejel; in ti vsi delajo zoper cesarjeve postave, govoreč, da je drug kralj, namreč Jezus.

⁸The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.

⁸Tako vznemirijo ljudstvo in mestne poglavarje, ki so to poslušali.

⁹When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

⁹A ko so prejeli zadoščenje od Jazona in drugih, so jih pustili.

¹⁰The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

¹⁰Bratje pa naglo po noči odpravijo Pavla in Sila v Berejo. Ko prideta tja, gresta v shodnico Judov.

¹¹Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

¹¹Ti so bili blažji od Solunčanov; ti so sprejeli besedo z vsem poželenjem in so vsak dan preiskovali pisma, če je temu tako.

¹²Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.

¹²In tako jih je veliko izmed njih sprejelo vero, tudi odličnih grških žen in mož ne malo.

¹³But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.

¹³Ko so pa Judje v Solunu zvedeli, da oznanjuje Pavel besedo Božjo tudi v Bereji, pridejo tudi tja, da nahujskajo in vznemirijo ljudstvo.

¹⁴Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

¹⁴Ali bratje so tedaj Pavla naglo odpravili, da je šel v primorje; a Sila in Timotej sta ostala tam.

¹⁵But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

¹⁵Ti pa, ki so Pavla spremljali, so ga pripeljali do Aten; in ko so prejeli sporočilo od Sila in Timoteja, naj bi kar najhitreje prišla k njemu, so se vrnili.

¹⁶Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

¹⁶Ko ju je pa Pavel čakal v Atenah, se togoti duh njegov v njem, ko vidi, da je mesto polno malikov.

¹⁷So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.

¹⁷Razgovarja se torej v shodnici z Judi in pobožnimi ter na trgu vsak dan s tistimi, na katere se je nameril.

¹⁸Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also TR omits “also” were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

¹⁸A tudi nekateri izmed epikurejskih in stoiških modrijanov so se prepirali ž njim; in nekateri so govorili: Kaj hoče ta kvasač povedati? A drugi: Zdi se, da je oznanjevalec tujih bogov - ker jim je oznanjeval evangelij o Jezusu in vstajenju.

¹⁹They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?

¹⁹In ga vzemo in odpeljejo na Areopag [T. j. Arejev (Martov) grič, sodišče in občno shajališče.], govoreč: Moremo li zvedeti, kakšen je ta novi nauk, ki ga ti oznanjuješ?

²⁰For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”

²⁰Kajti nekaj čudnega nam prinašaš v ušesa; zato hočemo zvedeti, kaj če to biti.

²¹Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

²¹Vsi Atenčani in tujci, ki so tam bivali, niso pa za nič drugega tolikanj marali, nego pripovedovati ali poslušati kaj novega.

²²Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

²²Ustopivši se pa sredi Areopaga, reče Pavel: Možje Atenčani, po vsem vidim, da ste nekako prebogaboječi.

²³For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.

²³Ko sem se namreč izprehajal po mestu in ogledoval svetišča vaša, sem našel tudi oltar, ki je na njem bilo napisano: Nepoznanemu Bogu. Kar torej častite, dasi tega ne poznate, to vam jaz oznanjujem.

²⁴The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands,

²⁴Bog, ki je ustvaril svet in vse, kar je na njem, on, ki je neba in zemlje Gospodar, ne prebiva v svetiščih, ki so z rokami narejena;

²⁵neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

²⁵tudi se mu ne streže s človeškimi rokami, kakor da bi česa potreboval, ko sam daje vsem življenje in dihanje in vse;

²⁶He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁶in je naredil, da iz ene krvi ves rod človeški prebiva po vsem licu zemlje, določivši odmenjene čase in meje njih prebivanju:

²⁷that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

²⁷da bi iskali Boga, ne bi ga li kako otipali in našli, ko vendar ni daleč nobenemu od nas.

²⁸‘For in him we live, and move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁸Zakaj v njem živimo in se gibljemo in smo, kakor so tudi nekateri vaših pesnikov rekli: Saj tudi rodu njegovega smo.

²⁹Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

²⁹Ker smo torej Božjega rodu, ne smemo misliti, da je božanstvo podobno zlatu ali srebru ali kamenu, obdelanemu po umetelnosti in iznajdljivosti človeški.

³⁰The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

³⁰Bog torej ukazuje sedaj, ne ozirajoč se na čase nevednosti, vsem ljudem povsod, naj se izpokore;

³¹because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

³¹zato ker je določil dan, ob katerem bo sodil vesoljni svet v pravičnosti po možu, ki ga je za to odločil, podavši vero vsem s tem, da ga je obudil iz mrtvih.

³²Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

³²Ko so pa slišali o vstajenju mrtvih, so se nekateri posmehovali, a drugi so rekli: O tem te bomo v drugič slišali.

³³Thus Paul went out from among them.

³³In tako je Pavel odšel izmed njih.A nekateri možje so se mu pridružili in sprejeli vero; med njimi je bil tudi Dionizij Areopagit in žena po imenu Damara, in drugi ž njima.

³⁴But certain men joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

³⁴A nekateri možje so se mu pridružili in sprejeli vero; med njimi je bil tudi Dionizij Areopagit in žena po imenu Damara, in drugi ž njima.
