Acts 13
1 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
U antiohijskoj je Crkvi bilo proroka i učitelja: Barnaba, Šimun zvani Niger, Lucije Cirenac, Manahen, suothranjenik Heroda četverovlasnika, i Savao.
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
Dok su jednom obavljali službu Božju i postili, reče Duh Sveti: “De mi odlučite Barnabu i Savla za djelo na koje sam ih pozvao.”
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Onda su postili, molili, položili na njih ruke i otpustili ih.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Poslani od Svetoga Duha siđu u Seleuciju, a odande odjedre na Cipar.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
Kad se nađoše u Salamini, navješćivahu riječ Božju u židovskim sinagogama. Imali su i Ivana za poslužitelja.
6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
Pošto pak prođoše sav otok do Pafa, nađoše nekog vračara, nazoviproroka, Židova, imenom Barjesu.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
On bijaše uz namjesnika Sergija Pavla, čovjeka razborita. Sergije dozva Barnabu i Savla te zaiska čuti riječ Božju,
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
ali im se usprotivi Elim, Vračar - tako mu se ime prevodi - nastojeći odvratiti namjesnika od vjere.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
Savao pak, zvan i Pavao, pun Duha Svetoga, ošinu ga pogledom
10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
i reče: “Pun svake lukavosti i prevrtljivosti, sine đavolski, neprijatelju svake pravednosti, zar nikako da prestaneš iskrivljavati ravne putove Gospodnje?
11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Evo stoga sada ruke Gospodnje na tebi: oslijepljet ćeš i neko vrijeme nećeš gledati sunca!” Odmah pade na nj mrak i tama te on glavinjajući stade tražiti ruke vodilje.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Videći što se dogodilo, povjerova tada namjesnik, zanesen naukom Gospodnjim.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Pošto se Pavao i oni oko njega otisnuše od Pafa, stigoše u Pergu pamfilijsku. Ivan ih napusti te se vrati u Jeruzalem.
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
Oni pak krenuše iz Perge i stigoše u Antiohiju pizidijsku. U dan subotni ušli su u sinagogu i sjeli.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
Nakon čitanja Zakona i Proroka pošalju nadstojnici sinagoge k njima: “Braćo, rekoše, ima li u vas koja riječ utjehe za narod, govorite!”
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
Nato usta Pavao, dadne rukom znak i reče: “Izraelci i vi koji se Boga bojite, čujte!
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
Bog naroda ovoga, Izraela, izabra oce naše i uzdiže narod za boravka u zemlji egipatskoj te ga ispruženom rukom izvede iz nje.
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Oko četrdeset ga je godina na rukama nosio u pustinji
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
pa pošto zatre sedam naroda u zemlji kanaanskoj, ubaštini ga u zemlji njihovoj
20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
za kakve četiri stotine i pedeset godina. Nakon toga dade im suce - do Samuela proroka.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Onda zaiskaše kralja pa im Bog za četrdeset godina dade Šaula, sina Kiševa, iz plemena Benjaminova.
22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
Pošto svrgnu njega, podiže im za kralja Davida za kojega posvjedoči: Nađoh Davida, sina Jišajeva, čovjeka po svom srcu, koji će ispuniti sve moje želje.
23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
Iz njegova potomstva izvede Bog po svom obećanju Izraelu Spasitelja, Isusa.
24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
Pred njegovim je dolaskom Ivan propovijedao krštenje obraćenja svemu narodu izraelskomu.
25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
A kad je Ivan dovršavao svoju trku, govorio je: 'Nisam ja onaj za koga me vi držite. Nego za mnom evo dolazi onaj komu ja nisam dostojan odriješiti obuće na nogama.'”
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
“Braćo, sinovi roda Abrahamova, vi i oni koji se među vama Boga boje, nama je upravljena ova Riječ spasenja.
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Doista, žitelji Jeruzalema i glavari njihovi ne upoznaše njega ni riječi proročkih što se čitaju svake subote pa ih, osudivši ga, ispuniše.
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Premda ne nađoše nikakva razloga smrti, zatražiše od Pilata da ga smakne.
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
Pošto pak izvršiše sve što je o njemu napisano, skinuše ga s drveta i položiše u grob.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Ali Bog ga uskrisi od mrtvih.
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
On se mnogo dana ukazivao onima koji s njim bijahu uzašli iz Galileje u Jeruzalem. Oni su sada njegovi svjedoci pred narodom.”
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
“I mi vam navješćujemo evanđelje: obećanje dano ocima
33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
Bog je ispunio djeci, nama, uskrisivši Isusa, kao što je i pisano u Psalmu drugom: Ti si Sin moj, danas te rodih.
34 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
Da ga pak uskrisi od mrtvih te se on više nikad neće vratiti u trulež, rekao je ovime: Dat ću vama svetinje Davidove, pouzdane.
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Zato i na drugome mjestu kaže: Nećeš dati da Svetac tvoj ugleda truleži.
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
David doista, pošto u svom naraštaju posluži volji Božjoj, preminu, pridruži se ocima svojim i vidje trulež,
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
a Onaj koga Bog uskrisi ne vidje truleži.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
Neka vam dakle braćo, znano bude: po Ovome vam se navješćuje oproštenje grijeha!
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Po Ovome se tko god vjeruje, opravdava od svega od čega se po Mojsijevu zakonu niste mogli opravdati!
40 Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
Pazite da se ne zbude što je rečeno u Prorocima:
41 ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
Obazrite se, preziratelji, snebijte se i nestanite! Jer djelo činim u dane vaše, djelo u koje ne biste vjerovali da vam ga tko ispriča.”
42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Na izlasku su ih molili da im iduće subote o tome govore.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
A pošto se skup raspustio, mnogi Židovi i bogobojazne pridošlice pođoše za Pavlom i Barnabom koji su ih nagovarali ustrajati u milosti Božjoj.
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
Iduće se subote gotovo sav grad zgrnu čuti riječ Gospodnju.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
Kad su Židovi ugledali mnoštvo, puni zavisti psujući suprotstavljali su se onomu što je Pavao govorio.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of consummate (aiōnios g166) life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
Na to im Pavao i Barnaba smjelo rekoše: “Trebalo je da se najprije vama navijesti riječ Božja. Ali kad je odbacujete i sami sebe ne smatrate dostojnima života vječnoga, obraćamo se evo poganima. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
Jer ovako nam je zapovjedio Gospodin: Postavih te za svjetlost poganima, da budeš na spasenje do nakraj zemlje.
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to consummate (aiōnios g166) life believed.
Pogani koji su slušali radovali su se i slavili riječ Gospodnju te povjerovaše oni koji bijahu određeni za život vječni. (aiōnios g166)
49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Riječ se pak Gospodnja pronese po svoj onoj pokrajini.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
Ali Židovi potakoše ugledne bogobojazne žene i prvake gradske te zametnuše progon protiv Pavla i Barnabe pa ih izbaciše iz svoga kraja.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Oni pak stresu prašinu s nogu protiv njih pa odu u Ikonij.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
A učenici su se ispunjali radošću i Duhom Svetim.
