Acts 15
1 And certain ones, descending from Judea, were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot 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 made no small uprising against them, they decided that Paul and Barnabas, and some from the opposing side, should go up to the Apostles and priests in Jerusalem concerning 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 Therefore, being led by the church, they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy among all the brothers.
A oni onda spremljeni od crkve, prolažahu kroz Finikiju i Samariju kazujuæi obraæanje neznabožaca, i èinjahu veliku radost svoj braæi.
4 And when they had arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the Apostles and the elders, reporting what great things 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 from the sect of the Pharisees, those who were believers, rose up saying, “It is necessary for them to be circumcised and to be instructed 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 And the Apostles and elders came together to take care of this matter.
A apostoli i starješine sabraše se da izvide ovu rijeè.
7 And after a great contention had taken place, Peter rose up and said to them: “Noble brothers, you know that, in recent days, God has chosen from among us, by my mouth, Gentiles to hear the word of the Gospel and to 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 And God, who knows hearts, offered testimony, by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as to us.
I Bog, koji poznaje srca, posvjedoèi im i dade im Duha svetoga kao i nama,
9 And he distinguished nothing between us and them, purifying 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 to impose a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been 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 by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe in order to be saved, in the same manner also as them.”
Nego vjerujemo da æemo se spasti blagodaæu Gospoda Isusa Hrista kao i oni.
12 Then the entire multitude was silent. And they were listening to Barnabas and Paul, describing what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
Onda umuèe sve mnoštvo, i slušahu Varnavu i Pavla koji pripovijedahu kolike znake i èudesa uèini Bog u neznabošcima preko njih.
13 And after they had been silent, James responded by saying: “Noble brothers, listen to me.
A kad oni umukoše, odgovori Jakov govoreæi: ljudi braæo! poslušajte mene.
14 Simon has explained in what manner God first visited, so as to take from the Gentiles a people to his name.
Simon kaza kako Bog najprije pohodi i primi iz neznabožaca narod k imenu svojemu.
15 And the words of the Prophets are in agreement with this, just as it was written:
I s ovijem se udaraju rijeèi proroka, kao što je napisano:
16 ‘After these things, I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down. And I will rebuild its ruins, and I will raise it up,
Potom æu se vratiti, i sazidaæu dom Davidov, koji je pao, i njegove razvaline popraviæu, i podignuæu ga,
17 so that the rest of men may seek the Lord, along with all the nations over whom my name has been invoked, says the Lord, who does 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 Because of this, I judge that those who were converted to God from among the Gentiles are not to be disturbed,
Zato ja velim da se ne dira u neznabošce koji se obraæaju k Bogu;
20 but instead that we write to them, that they should keep themselves from the defilement of idols, and from fornication, and from whatever has been suffocated, 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 ancient times, has had in each city those who preach him in the synagogues, where he is read on every Sabbath.”
Jer Mojsije ima od starijeh vremena u svijem gradovima koji ga propovijedaju, i po zbornicama èita se svake subote.
22 Then it pleased the Apostles and elders, with the whole Church, to choose men from among them, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, and Judas, who was surnamed Barsabbas, and Silas, preeminent 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 what was written by their own hands: “The Apostles and elders, brothers, to those who are at Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, brothers from the Gentiles, 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 Since we have heard that some, going out from among us, have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, 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 pleased us, being assembled as one, to choose men and to send them to you, with our most 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 handed over their lives on behalf of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
S ljudima koji su predali duše svoje za ime Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista.
27 Therefore, we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, with the spoken word, reaffirm to you the same things.
Poslasmo dakle Judu i Silu, koji æe to i rijeèima kazati.
28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose no further burden upon you, other 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 immolated to idols, and from blood, and from what has been suffocated, and from fornication. You will do well to keep yourselves from these things. 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 And so, having been dismissed, they went down to Antioch. And gathering the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.
A kad ih opremiše, doðoše u Antiohiju, i sabravši narod predaše poslanicu.
31 And when they had read it, they were gladdened by this consolation.
A kad proèitaše, obradovaše se utjesi.
32 But Judas and Silas, being also prophets themselves, consoled the brothers with many words, and they were strengthened.
A Juda i Sila, koji i proroci bijahu, mnogijem rijeèima utješiše braæu i utvrdiše.
33 Then, after spending some more time there, they were dismissed with peace, by the brothers, to those who had sent them.
I pošto biše onamo neko vrijeme, otpustiše ih braæa s mirom k apostolima.
34 But it seemed good to Silas to remain there. So Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
No Sila naðe za dobro da ostane onamo, a Juda se vrati u Jerusalim.
35 And Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, with many others, teaching and evangelizing the Word of the Lord.
A Pavle i Varnava življahu u Antiohiji i uèahu i propovijedahu rijeè Gospodnju s mnogima drugijem.
36 Then, after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return to visit the brothers throughout all the cities in which we have preached the Word of the Lord, to see how they are.”
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 And Barnabas wanted to take John, who was surnamed Mark, with them also.
A Varnava šæaše da uzmu sa sobom Jovana prozvanoga Marka.
38 But Paul was saying that he ought not to be received, since he withdrew from them at Pamphylia, and he had not gone with them in 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 And there occurred a dissension, to such an extent that they departed from one another. And Barnabas, indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
Tako postade raspra da se oni razdvojiše, i Varnava uzevši Marka otplovi u Kipar.
40 Yet truly, Paul, choosing Silas, set out, being delivered by the brothers to the grace of God.
A Pavle izbravši Silu iziðe predan blagodati Božijoj od braæe.
41 And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the Churches, instructing them to keep the precepts of the Apostles and the elders.
I prolažaše kroz Siriju i Kilikiju utvrðujuæi crkve.
