Djela apostolska 16
1 Stiže tako u Derbu i Listru. Ondje, gle, bijaše učenik neki imenom Timotej, sin neke pokrštene Židovke i oca Grka.
And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess which believed; but his father was a Greek.
2 Uživao je dobar glas među braćom u Listri i Ikoniju.
The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Pavao htjede da on pođe s njime pa ga uze i obreza zbog Židova koji bijahu u onim mjestima. Jer svi su znali da mu je otac Grk.
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 I kako su prolazili gradovima, predavali su im za opsluživanje odredbe koje su apostoli i starješine utvrdili u Jeruzalemu.
And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
5 Tako se Crkve učvršćivahu u vjeri i broj im se danomice povećavao.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Prođoše Frigiju i galacijski kraj jer ih je Duh Sveti spriječio propovijedati riječ u Aziji.
And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia;
7 Kad su došli do Mizije, htjedoše u Bitiniju, ali im ne dopusti Duh Isusov.
and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;
8 Onda prođoše Miziju i siđoše u Troadu.
and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Noću je Pavao imao viđenje: Makedonac neki stajaše i zaklinjaše ga: “Prijeđi u Makedoniju i pomozi nam!”
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 Nakon viđenja nastojasmo odmah otputovati u Makedoniju, uvjereni da nas Bog zove navješćivati im evanđelje.
And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Otplovismo iz Troade i zaputismo se ravno u Samotraku pa sutradan u Neapol,
Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 a odande u naseobinu Filipe - grad prvog dijela Makedonije. U tom se gradu zadržasmo nekoliko dana.
and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.
13 U dan subotni iziđosmo izvan gradskih vrata k rijeci, gdje smo mislili da će biti bogomolja. Sjedosmo i stadosmo govoriti okupljenim ženama.
And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which were come together.
14 Slušala je tako i neka bogobojazna žena imenom Lidija, prodavačica grimiza iz grada Tijatire. Gospodin joj otvori srce, te ona prihvati što je Pavao govorio.
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.
15 Pošto se pak krsti ona i njezin dom, zamoli: “Ako smatrate da sam vjerna Gospodinu, uđite u moj dom i ostanite u njemu.” I prisili nas.
And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
16 Jednom nas na putu u bogomolju sretne neka ropkinja koja je imala duha vračarskoga i gatajući donosila veliku dobit svojim gospodarima.
And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
17 Pošla je za Pavlom i za nama te vikala: “Ovi su ljudi sluge Boga Svevišnjega; navješćuju vam put spasenja.”
The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, which proclaim unto you the way of salvation.
18 To je činila mnogo dana. Pavlu to napokon dodija pa se okrenu i reče duhu: “Zapovijedam ti u ime Isusa Krista: iziđi iz nje!” I iziđe toga časa.
And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 Kad njezini gospodari vidješe da im nesta nade u dobit, pograbiše Pavla i Silu te ih odvukoše na trg pred glavare.
But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,
20 Privedoše ih pretorima i rekoše: “Ovi ljudi uznemiruju naš grad. Židovi su
and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 te šire običaje kojih mi Rimljani ne smijemo ni prihvatiti ni držati.”
and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.
22 Nato svjetina nahrupi na njih, a pretori trgoše s njih odijelo i zapovjediše da se išibaju.
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.
23 Pošto ih izudaraše, bace ih u tamnicu i zapovjede tamničaru da ih pomno čuva.
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 Primivši takvu zapovijed, uze ih on i baci u nutarnju tamnicu, a noge im stavi u klade.
who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Oko ponoći su Pavao i Sila molili pjevajući hvalu Bogu, a uznici ih slušali.
But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
26 Odjednom nasta potres velik te se poljuljaše temelji zatvora, umah se otvoriše sva vrata, i svima spadoše okovi.
and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.
27 Tamničar se prenu oda sna pa kad ugleda tamnička vrata otvorena, trgnu mač i samo što se ne ubi misleći da su uznici pobjegli.
And the jailor being roused out of sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Ali Pavao povika iza glasa: “Ne čini sebi nikakva zla! Svi smo ovdje!”
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Onaj nato zaiska svjetlo, uleti i dršćući baci se pred Pavla i Silu;
And he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 izvede ih i upita: “Gospodo, što mi je činiti da se spasim?”
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 Oni će mu: “Vjeruj u Gospodina Isusa i spasit ćeš se - ti i dom tvoj!”
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
32 Onda navijestiše riječ Gospodnju njemu i svima u domu njegovu.
And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.
33 Te iste noćne ure uze ih, opra im rane pa se odmah krsti - on i svi njegovi.
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
34 Onda ih uvede u dom, prostre stol te se zajedno sa svim domom obradova što je povjerovao Bogu.
And he brought them up into his house, and set meat before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
35 Kad se razdani, poslaše pretori liktore s porukom: “Pusti te ljude!”
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 Tamničar to priopći Pavlu: “Pretori, reče, poručiše da vas pustim. Iziđite dakle sad i pođite u miru!”
And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.
37 Nato im Pavao odvrati: “Javno su nas neosuđene išibali, nas rimske građane, i bacili u tamnicu. A sada da nas potajno izbace? Nipošto, nego neka oni sami dođu i izvedu nas!”
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
38 Liktori to jave pretorima. Oni su se uplašili kada doznaše da su Rimljani.
And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans;
39 Zato dođu da ih nagovore pa ih izvedu i zamole da odu iz grada.
and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.
40 Izišavši iz tamnice, oni pođu k Lidiji, pogledaju i obodre braću pa odu.
And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
