Acts 24
1 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
A poslije pet dana siðe poglavar sveštenièki Ananija sa starješinama i s ritorom nekijem Tertulom, koji iziðoše pred sudiju protiv Pavla.
2 When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
A kad njega dozvaše, poèe Tertul tužiti ga govoreæi: što živimo pod tobom u velikom miru, i pravice koje se ovome narodu èine tvojijem promišljanjem,
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
U svakom dogaðaju i svuda, èestiti Filikse! primamo sa svakom zahvalnošæu.
4 But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
Ali da ti mnogo ne dosaðujem, molim te da nas ukratko poslušaš sa svojom krotošæu.
5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Jer naðosmo ovoga èovjeka da je kuga, i podiže bunu protiv sviju Jevreja po vasionom svijetu, i da je kolovoða jeresi Nazaretskoj;
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
Koji se usudi i crkvu poganiti; koga mi i uhvatismo, i šæasmo da mu sudimo po zakonu svojemu.
Ali doðe Lisija vojvoda, i ote ga iz našijeh ruku na veliku silu, i posla k tebi,
8 By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
Zapovjedivši i nama, koji ga tužimo, da idemo k tebi; a od njega možeš sam ispitavši doznati za sve ovo za što ga mi tužimo.
9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
A i Jevreji se složiše govoreæi da je ovo tako.
10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
A Pavle odgovori kad mu namaže sudija da govori: znajuæi od mnogo godina da si ti pravedni sudija ovome narodu, slobodno odgovaram za sebe:
11 seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
Ti možeš doznati da nema više od dvanaest dana kako ja iziðoh u Jerusalim da se pomolim Bogu,
12 In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
I niti me u crkvi naðoše da kome govorim, ili bunu da èinim u narodu, ni po zbornicama, ni u gradu,
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
Niti oni mogu posvjedoèiti šta tebi sad na mene govore.
14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
Ovo ti pak priznajem da u putu, koji ovi nazivaju jeres, tako služim Bogu otaèkome, vjerujuæi sve što je napisano u zakonu i u prorocima,
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
I imajuæi nadanje na Boga da æe biti vaskrsenije mrtvima, i pravednicima i grješnicima, koje i sami ovi èekaju.
16 In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
A za ovo se i ja trudim da imam èistu savjest svagda i pred Bogom i pred ljudima.
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
I poslije mnogo godina doðoh i donesoh milostinju narodu svome i prinose.
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
U tome me naðoše oèišæena u crkvi, ni s narodom, ni s vikom.
19 They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
A imaju i Jevreji neki iz Azije kojima je trebalo da doðu preda te, i da se tuže ako imaju što na me.
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
Ili ovi sami neka kažu, ako su našli na meni kakvu krivicu, kad sam stajao na skupštini,
21 unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
Osim jednoga ovoga glasa kojijem povikah stojeæi meðu njima: za vaskrsenije mrtvijeh dovedoste me danas na sud.
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
A kad Filiks èu ovo, odgodi im znajuæi vrlo dobro za ovaj put i reèe: kad doðe Lisija vojvoda, izvidjeæu vašu stvar.
23 He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
A kapetanu zapovjedi da se èuva Pavle, i da mu se oblakša, i nijednome od njegovijeh da se ne zabranjuje posluživati ga ili dolaziti k njemu.
24 After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
A poslije nekoliko dana doðe Filiks sa Drusilom ženom svojom, koja bješe Jevrejka, i dozva Pavla da èuje od njega vjeru u Hrista Isusa.
25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
A kad Pavle govoraše o pravdi i o èistoti i o sudu koji æe biti, uplaši se Filiks i odgovori: idi zasad; a kad uzimam kad, dozvaæu te.
26 Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
A uz to se i nadaše da æe mu Pavle dati novaca da bi ga pustio; zato ga i èesto dozivaše i razgovaraše se s njim.
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
A kad se navršiše dvije godine, izmijeni Filiksa Porkije Fist. A Filiks, hoteæi Jevrejima uèiniti na volju, ostavi Pavla u sužanjstvu.
