¹When we had escaped, then they NU reads “we” learned that the island was called Malta.

¹In ko smo se bili oteli, smo spoznali, da se otok imenuje Melita.

²The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

²Divjaki pa so nam izkazovali ne majhno ljudomilost: zažgali so namreč grmado in sprejeli so nas vse zavoljo dežja, ki je šel, in zavoljo mraza.

³But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

³Ko pa nabere Pavel kup hoste in jo dene na ogenj, se priplazi gad vsled vročine in se mu obesi na roko.

⁴When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”

⁴Ko pa vidijo divjaki, da mu visi zver na roki, govore med seboj: Gotovo je ta človek ubijalec, ki ga, otetega iz morja, pravica maščevalka ne pusti živeti.

⁵However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.

⁵Toda on otrese zver na ogenj, in nič hudega se mu ni zgodilo.

⁶But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

⁶Oni so pa čakali, da oteče ali se hkratu zgrudi in umre. Ko so pa dolgo čakali in videli, da se mu nič hudega ne zgodi, so premenili svoje misli in so dejali, da je bog.

⁷Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.

⁷Okoli tega kraja pa so bile pristave poglavarja otoka, Publija po imenu, ki nas je sprejel in tri dni prijazno gostil.

⁸It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.

⁸Zgodi se pa, da je oče Publijev ležal bolan za mrzlico in grižo: k temu gre Pavel in moleč položi nanj roke in ga ozdravi.

⁹Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.

⁹In ko se je to zgodilo, so prihajali z otoka tudi drugi, ki so imeli bolezni, in so bili ozdravljeni.

¹⁰They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.

¹⁰Ti so nam tudi izkazovali mnogotere časti, in ko smo odhajali, so nam naložili, kar je bilo potreba.

¹¹After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was “The Twin Brothers.”

¹¹A po treh mesecih smo se odpeljali na aleksandrijski ladji, ki je bila prezimila na otoku in je imela znamenje Dvojčkov.

¹²Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.

¹²In pripeljali smo se v Sirakuz in ostali tu tri dni.

¹³From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,

¹³Odtod smo se okoli peljali in dospeli v Regijo, in ko je en dan potem potegnil jug, smo prišli drugi dan v Puteole.

¹⁴where we found brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.

¹⁴Tu smo našli bratov, in prosili so nas, naj bi pri njih prebili sedem dni; in tako smo prišli v Rim.

¹⁵From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage.

¹⁵In odtod, ko so bratje slišali za nas, so nam prišli naproti do Apijevega trga in do Treh krčem; in ko jih je videl Pavel, je zahvalil Boga in se napolnil zaupanja.

¹⁶When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

¹⁶Ko smo pa prišli v Rim, [je izročil stotnik jetnike poveljniku cesarske straže, a] Pavlu se je dovolilo prebivati, kjer sam hoče, z vojakom, ki ga je varoval.

¹⁷It happened that after three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

¹⁷Zgodi se pa po treh dneh, da skliče Pavel prvake Judov. In ko so se sešli, jim je rekel: Možje bratje! dasi jaz ničesar nisem storil zoper naše ljudstvo ali šege očetovske, vendar so me zvezanega iz Jeruzalema izdali v roke Rimljanom.

¹⁸who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.

¹⁸Ti so me, ko so me bili zaslišali, hoteli izpustiti, zato ker ni bilo nobene smrtne krivice na meni.

¹⁹But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.

¹⁹Ko so pa Judje ugovarjali, sem bil prisiljen, sklicati se na cesarja, ne kakor da bi imel narod svoj za kaj tožiti.

²⁰For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”

²⁰Zavoljo tega razloga torej sem vas poklical, da bi vas videl in z vami govoril; zakaj zaradi upanja Izraelovega sem vkovan v to verigo.

²¹They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.

²¹Oni mu pa reko: Mi nismo ne pisem zastran tebe prejeli iz Judeje in tudi nobeden izmed bratov ni prišel, da bi sporočil ali govoril kaj hudega o tebi.

²²But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”

²²Želimo pa slišati od tebe, kaj misliš; kajti za to ločino nam je znano, da ji povsod ugovarjajo.

²³When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.

²³In ko so mu odločili dan, jih je mnogo prišlo k njemu v stanovanje; in jim je razlagal vse ter pričeval o kraljestvu Božjem in jim služil k veri v to, kar se tiče Jezusa, iz postave Mojzesove in prorokov, od zore do mraka.

²⁴Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

²⁴In nekateri so verovali temu, kar jim je pravil, a nekateri niso verovali.

²⁵When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to our fathers,

²⁵In ker niso bili složni med seboj, so odhajali, ko je rekel Pavel to eno besedo: Dobro je povedal sveti Duh po Izaiju proroku očetom vašim,

²⁶saying, ‘Go to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.

²⁶rekoč: „Pojdi k temu ljudstvu in reci: S sluhom boste slišali, a ne boste umeli, in z očmi boste gledali, a ne boste videli.

²⁷For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’ Isaiah 6:9-10

²⁷Kajti okamenelo je srce temu ljudstvu, in z ušesi težko slišijo, in oči so si zatisnili: da ne bi kako z očmi videli in z ušesi slišali in s srcem umeli in se spreobrnili, ter bi jih ozdravil“.

²⁸“Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen.”

²⁸Bodi vam torej znano, da je poganom poslano to zveličanje Božje; oni bodo tudi poslušali. [

²⁹When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.

²⁹In ko je to povedal, so odšli Judje, in so imeli mnogo prepira med seboj.]

³⁰Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,

³⁰On pa je ostal celi dve leti v svojem najetem stanovanju in je sprejemal vse, ki so k njemu prihajali,oznanjujoč kraljestvo Božje in učeč to, kar je Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, z vso srčnostjo, in nihče mu ni branil.

³¹preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

³¹oznanjujoč kraljestvo Božje in učeč to, kar je Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, z vso srčnostjo, in nihče mu ni branil.
