Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
I neki sišavši iz Judeje uèahu braæu: ako se ne obrežete po obièaju Mojsijevu, ne možete se spasti.
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
A kad posta raspra, i Pavle i Varnava ne malo se prepiraše s njima, odrediše da Pavle i Varnava i drugi neki od njih idu gore k apostolima i starješinama u Jerusalim za ovo pitanje.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
A oni onda spremljeni od crkve, prolažahu kroz Finikiju i Samariju kazujuæi obraæanje neznabožaca, i èinjahu veliku radost svoj braæi.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
A kad doðoše u Jerusalim, primi ih crkva i apostoli i starješine, i kazaše sve što uèini Bog s njima, i kako otvori neznabošcima vrata vjere.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Onda ustaše neki od jeresi farisejske koji bijahu vjerovali, i govorahu da ih valja obrezati, i zapovjediti da drže zakon Mojsijev.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
A apostoli i starješine sabraše se da izvide ovu rijeè.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
I po mnogom vijeæanju usta Petar i reèe: ljudi braæo! vi znate da Bog od prvijeh dana izabra izmeðu nas da iz mojijeh usta èuju neznabošci rijeè jevanðelja i da vjeruju.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
I Bog, koji poznaje srca, posvjedoèi im i dade im Duha svetoga kao i nama,
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
I ne postavi nikakve razlike meðu nama i njima, oèistivši vjerom srca njihova.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Sad dakle šta kušate Boga, i hoæete da metnete uèenicima jaram na vrat, kojega ni ocevi naši ni mi mogosmo ponijeti?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Nego vjerujemo da æemo se spasti blagodaæu Gospoda Isusa Hrista kao i oni.
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Onda umuèe sve mnoštvo, i slušahu Varnavu i Pavla koji pripovijedahu kolike znake i èudesa uèini Bog u neznabošcima preko njih.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
A kad oni umukoše, odgovori Jakov govoreæi: ljudi braæo! poslušajte mene.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simon kaza kako Bog najprije pohodi i primi iz neznabožaca narod k imenu svojemu.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
I s ovijem se udaraju rijeèi proroka, kao što je napisano:
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
Potom æu se vratiti, i sazidaæu dom Davidov, koji je pao, i njegove razvaline popraviæu, i podignuæu ga,
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
Da potraže Gospoda ostali ljudi i svi narodi u kojima se ime moje spomenu, govori Gospod koji tvori sve ovo.
Bogu su poznata od postanja svijeta sva djela njegova; (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
Zato ja velim da se ne dira u neznabošce koji se obraæaju k Bogu;
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Nego da im se zapovjedi da se èuvaju od priloga idolskijeh i od kurvarstva i od udavljenoga i od krvi, i što njima nije milo drugima da ne èine.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Jer Mojsije ima od starijeh vremena u svijem gradovima koji ga propovijedaju, i po zbornicama èita se svake subote.
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Tada naðoše za dobro apostoli i starješine sa svom crkvom da izberu izmeðu sebe dvojicu i da pošlju u Antiohiju s Pavlom i Varnavom, Judu koji se zvaše Varsava, i Silu, ljude znamenite meðu braæom.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
I napisaše rukama svojima ovo: Apostoli i starješine i braæa pozdravljaju braæu koja su po Antiohiji i Siriji i Kilikiji što su od neznabožaca.
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
Buduæi da mi èusmo da neki od nas izišavši smetoše vas rijeèima, i raslabiše duše vaše govoreæi vam da se obrezujete i da držite zakon, kojima mi ne zapovjedismo;
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Zato naðosmo za dobro mi jednodušno sabrani izbrane ljude poslati vama s ljubaznijem našijem Varnavom i Pavlom,
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
S ljudima koji su predali duše svoje za ime Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Poslasmo dakle Judu i Silu, koji æe to i rijeèima kazati.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Jer naðe za dobro sveti Duh i mi da nikakvijeh tegoba više ne meæemo na vas osim ovijeh potrebnijeh:
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
Da se èuvate od priloga idolskijeh i od krvi i od udavljenoga i od kurvarstva, i što neæete da se èini vama ne èinite drugima; od èega ako se èuvate, dobro æete èiniti. Budite zdravi.
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
A kad ih opremiše, doðoše u Antiohiju, i sabravši narod predaše poslanicu.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
A kad proèitaše, obradovaše se utjesi.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
A Juda i Sila, koji i proroci bijahu, mnogijem rijeèima utješiše braæu i utvrdiše.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
I pošto biše onamo neko vrijeme, otpustiše ih braæa s mirom k apostolima.
No Sila naðe za dobro da ostane onamo, a Juda se vrati u Jerusalim.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
A Pavle i Varnava življahu u Antiohiji i uèahu i propovijedahu rijeè Gospodnju s mnogima drugijem.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
A poslije nekoliko dana reèe Pavle Varnavi: hajde da se vratimo i da obiðemo braæu po svijem gradovima po kojima propovijedasmo rijeè Gospodnju kako žive.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
A Varnava šæaše da uzmu sa sobom Jovana prozvanoga Marka.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
Pavle pak govoraše: onoga koji nas je odustao u Pamfiliji i nije išao s nama na djelo na koje smo bili odreðeni, da ne uzimamo sa sobom.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Tako postade raspra da se oni razdvojiše, i Varnava uzevši Marka otplovi u Kipar.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
A Pavle izbravši Silu iziðe predan blagodati Božijoj od braæe.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
I prolažaše kroz Siriju i Kilikiju utvrðujuæi crkve.
