Acts 4
1 But, as they were speaking unto the people, the High-priests and the Captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
Dok su oni još govorili narodu, priđu im svećenici, hramski zapovjednik i saduceji,
2 Being tired out because of their teaching the people, and announcing, in Jesus, the resurrection from among the dead;
ozlovoljeni što uče narod i navješćuju - u Isusu - uskrsnuće od mrtvih;
3 And they thrust on them their hands, and put them in custody for the morrow, for it was evening, already.
pograbe ih i bace u tamnicu do sutra jer već bijaše večer.
4 Howbeit, many of them that heard the word, believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand.
Ipak mnogi od onih koji su čuli Riječ, povjerovaše te broj vjernika poraste nekako do pet tisuća.
5 And it came to pass, upon the morrow, that there were gathered together of them, the rulers and the elders and the scribes, in Jerusalem;
Sutradan se sastadoše u Jeruzalemu glavari, starješine i pismoznanci -
6 Also Annas, the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent; —
i veliki svećenik Ana, i Kajfa, i Ivan, i Aleksandar, i svi od roda velikosvećeničkoga.
7 And, setting them in the midst, they began to enquire—In what manner of power, or in what manner of name, did, ye, do this?
Izvedoše apostole preda se pa ih stadoše ispitivati: “Kojom snagom ili po kojem imenu vi to učiniste?”
8 Then Peter, filled with Holy Spirit, said unto them—Ye rulers of the people, and elders!
Onda Petar pun Duha Svetoga reče: “Glavari narodni i starješine!
9 If, we, this day, are to be examined for doing good to a sick man, —in whom, this, man hath been made well,
Zar mi danas odgovaramo zbog dobra djela učinjena bolesnu čovjeku? Po kome je ovaj spašen?
10 Be it known unto you all, and unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, —whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole.
Neka bude znano svima vama i svemu narodu Izraelovu: po imenu Isusa Krista Nazarećanina, kojega ste vi raspeli, a kojega Bog uskrisi od mrtvih! Po njemu ovaj stoji pred vama zdrav!
11 This, is the stone, set at nought by you the builders, which became the head of the corner;
On je onaj kamen koji vi graditelji odbaciste, ali koji postade kamen zaglavni.
12 And there is in no one else, salvation, for, neither is there any other name, under heaven, which hath been set forth among men, in which we must needs be saved.
I nema ni u kome drugom spasenja. Nema uistinu pod nebom drugoga imena dana ljudima po kojemu se možemo spasiti.”
13 And, looking at Peter’s boldness of speech, and John’s, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus;
Kad vidješe neustrašivost Petrovu i Ivanovu, a znajući da su to ljudi nepismeni i neuki, bijahu u čudu; znali su ih, da bijahu s Isusom, ali
14 Seeing, the man also standing, with them, even the [man] who had been cured, they had nothing wherewith to contradict.
videći gdje s njima stoji izliječeni čovjek, nisu mogli ništa protusloviti.
15 Howbeit, ordering them to go forth outside the high-council, they began to confer one with another,
Stoga zapovjediše da izađu iz vijećnice pa stadoše raspravljati:
16 Saying—What are we to do with these men? For, indeed, that a notable sign hath come to pass through their means, unto all who are dwelling in Jerusalem, is manifest, and we cannot deny [it]!
“Što ćemo s tim ljudima? Ta učinili su očit znak, poznat svim Jeruzalemcima, ne možemo ga nijekati;
17 Nevertheless, lest it further spread abroad among the people, let us charge them with threats, to be no more speaking upon this name, to any soul of man.
ali da se još više ne razglasi u narod, zaprijetimo im da nikomu živom o tom Imenu više ne govore.”
18 And, calling them, they gave them the sweeping charge, —not to be sounding aloud, nor even to be teaching, upon the name of Jesus.
Pozvaše ih i zapovjediše im da podnipošto ne zbore niti naučavaju u ime Isusovo.
19 But, Peter and John, answering, said unto them—Whether it be right in presence of God, unto you, to be hearkening, rather than unto God, judge!
Ali im Petar i Ivan odgovoriše: “Sudite je li pred Bogom pravo slušati radije vas nego Boga.
20 For, we, cannot but be speaking the things which we have seen and heard.
Mi doista ne možemo ne govoriti što vidjesmo i čusmo.”
21 They, however, further charging them with threats, let them go, finding nothing as to how they might chastise them, on account of the people; because, all, were glorifying God for that which had come to pass; —
Ali oni ne našavši kako da ih kazne, opet im zaprijete pa ih otpuste poradi naroda jer su svi slavili Boga zbog onoga što se dogodilo.
22 For, more than forty years old, was the man, upon whom had taken place, this healing sign.
Jer čovjeku na kom se dogodi čudo ozdravljenja bijaše više od četrdeset godina.
23 But, when they had been let go, they came unto their own [friends], and told as many things as, unto them, the High-priests and Elders, had said.
Otpušteni, odoše svojima i javiše što im rekoše veliki svećenici i starješine.
24 And, they, having heard, with one accord, uplifted voice unto God, and said—O Sovereign! Thou, art he that made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are herein:
Kad su oni to čuli, jednodušno podigoše glas k Bogu i rekoše: “Gospodine, ti si stvorio nebo i zemlju i more i sve što je u njima!
25 Who, by our father, through means of the Holy Spirit, even by the mouth of David thy servant, said—Unto what end did nations rage, and, peoples, busy themselves with empty things?
Ti si na usta oca našega, sluge svoga Davida, po Duhu Svetom rekao: Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?
26 The kings of the earth stationed themselves, and, the rulers, were gathered together, with one intent, against the Lord, and against his Christ.
Ustaju kraljevi zemaljski, Knezovi se rotÄe protiv Gospodina i protiv Pomazanika njegova.
27 For they were gathered together, of a truth, in this city, against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, —both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with them of the nations, and peoples of Israel; —
RotÄe se, uistinu, u ovome gradu na svetog Slugu tvoga Isusa, kog pomaza, rotÄe se Herod i Poncije Pilat zajedno s narodima i pucima izraelskim
28 To do whatsoever, thy hand and thy counsel, marked out beforehand to come to pass.
da učine što tvoja ruka i tvoja volja predodredi da se zbude.
29 As to the present things, then, O Lord, —look upon their threats, and grant unto thy servants, with all freedom of utterance, to be speaking thy word,
I evo sada, Gospodine, promotri prijetnje njihove i daj slugama svojim sa svom smjelošću navješćivati riječ tvoju!
30 By stretching forth thy hand for healing, and by the coming to pass of both signs and wonders, through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.
Pruži ruku svoju da bude ozdravljenja, znamenja i čudesa po imenu svetoga Sluge tvoga Isusa.”
31 And, when they had made supplication, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were filled, one and all, with the Holy Spirit, and began speaking the word of God with freedom of utterance.
I pošto se pomoliše, potrese se mjesto gdje bijahu sabrani, i svi se napuniše Duha Svetoga te stanu navješćivati riječ Božju smjelo.
32 And, the throng of them that believed, had one heart and soul, and not so much as one was saying that, aught of his goods, was, his own, but they had all things common.
U mnoštva onih što prigrliše vjeru bijaše jedno srce i jedna duša. I nijedan od njih nije svojim zvao ništa od onoga što je imao, nego im sve bijaše zajedničko.
33 And, with great power, were the apostles giving forth their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; great favour also was upon them all.
Apostoli pak velikom silom davahu svjedočanstvo o uskrsnuću Gospodina Isusa i svi uživahu veliku naklonost.
34 For there was not so much as anyone, lacking, among them; for, as many as were possessors of lands or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the things that were being sold,
Doista, nitko među njima nije oskudijevao jer koji bi god posjedovali zemljišta ili kuće, prodavali bi ih i utržak donosili
35 And laying them at the feet of the Apostles, while on the other hand they were distributing unto each one, in so far as any one had, need.
i stavljali pred noge apostolima. A dijelilo se svakomu koliko je trebao.
36 And, Joseph, who had been surnamed Barnabas by the Apostles, which is to be translated Son of Exhortation, —a Levite, a Cyprian by nation,
A Josip, od apostola prozvan Barnaba, što znači Sin utjehe, levit, rodom Cipranin,
37 Having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the feet of the Apostles.
posjedovaše jednu njivu; proda je pa donese novac i postavi pred noge apostolima.
