Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
A Fist onda primivši vlast poslije tri dana iziðe iz Æesarije u Jerusalim.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
Onda glavari sveštenièki i starješine Jevrejske tužiše mu se na Pavla, i moljahu ga,
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
Ištuæi milosti protiv njega, da ga pošlje u Jerusalim; i nareðivahu zasjedu da ga ubiju na putu.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
A Fist odgovori da se Pavle èuva u Æesariji, a i on æe sam skoro onamo da ide:
5 “Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
Koji dakle mogu od vas, reèe, neka idu sa mnom, i ako ima kakva krivica na tom èovjeku neka ga tuže.
6 When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
A pošto bi u njih ne više od deset dana, siðe u Æesariju, i sjutradan sjedavši na sudijnsku stolicu zapovjedi da dovedu Pavla.
7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
A kad ga dovedoše, stadoše unaokolo Jevreji koji bijahu došli iz Jerusalima, i mnoge i teške krivice iznošahu na Pavla, kojijeh ne mogahu posvjedoèiti,
8 while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”
Kad se on odgovaraše: niti zakonu Jevrejskome, ni crkvi, ni æesaru što sagriješih.
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”
Ali Fist, hoteæi Jevrejima uèiniti na volju, odgovori Pavlu i reèe: hoæeš da ideš gore u Jerusalim i ondje da ti sudim za to?
10 But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
A Pavle reèe: ja stojim na sudu æesarevu, ovdje treba da mi se sudi: Jevrejima ništa nijesam skrivio, kao što i ti najbolje znaš.
11 For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
Ako li sam skrivio, ili uèinio što što zaslužuje smrt, ne marim umrijeti; ako li pak ništa nema na meni šta ovi na mene potvoraju, niko me ne može njima predati. Æesaru idem.
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
Tada Fist, pogovorivši sa savjetnicima, odgovori: æesaru reèe da hoæeš: æesaru æeš poæi.
13 Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
A pošto proðe nekoliko dana, Agripa car i Vernikija siðoše u Æesariju da pohode Fista.
14 As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
I buduæi da ondje mnogo dana ostaše, kaza Fist caru za Pavla govoreæi: èovjeka jednoga ostavio je Filiks u tamnici,
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Za kojega, kad ja bijah u Jerusalimu, iziðoše preda me glavari sveštenièki i starješine Jevrejske moleæi da ga osudim.
16 I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.
Ja im odgovorih da nije obièaj u Rimljana da se prije pokloni kakav èovjek na smrt dok se optuženi ne suoèi s onima koji ga tuže, i ne primi mjesto da odgovara za svoju krivicu.
17 When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.
A kad se oni ovdje sastaše, nikakvoga odlaganja ne uèinih, i sjutradan sjedavši na sudijnsku stolicu zapovjedih da dovedu èovjeka.
18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
A oko njega stavši suparnici ni jedne krivice koje ja mišljah ne iznesoše.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Nego imahu protiv njega nekakva pitanja o svojemu sujevjerju, i o nekakvom Isusu, koji je umro pa Pavle govoraše da je živ.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
A ja ne znajuæi u ovome poslu šta æu èiniti, rekoh bi li htio iæi u Jerusalim i onamo da mu se sudi za ovo.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”
A kad Pavle reèe da ga èuvamo do suda Avgustova, zapovjedih da ga èuvaju dokle ga pošljem k æesaru.
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
A Agripa reèe Fistu: i ja bih rad èuti toga èovjeka. A on reèe: sjutra æeš ga èuti.
23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
Sjutradan pak, kad Agripa i Vernikija doðoše s velikijem ponosom, i uðoše u sudnicu s vojvodama i sa starješinama onoga grada, i kad zapovjedi Fist, dovedoše Pavla.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
I reèe Fist: Agripa care! i svi koji ste s nama! Vidite ovoga za kojega mi sve mnoštvo Jevreja dosaðivaše i u Jerusalimu i ovdje, vièuæi da ne valja da on više živi.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,
A ja doznavši da on ništa nije uèinio što zaslužuje smrt, a i on sam reèe da æe da ide k svijetlome æesaru, namislih da ga pošljem.
26 of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.
Za kojega nemam šta upravo pisati gospodaru. Zato ga i dovedoh pred vas, a osobito preda te, Agripa care, da bih, pošto bude ispitivanje, imao šta pisati.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
Jer mi se èini ludo sužnja poslati, a krivice njegove ne javiti.
