Acts 6
1 But in those days, the disciples multiplying in number, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews because their widows were overlooked in the daily ministration.
A u ove dane, kad se umnožiše uèenici, podigoše Grci viku na Jevreje što se njihove udovice zaboravljahu kad se dijeljaše hrana svaki dan.
2 And the twelve, having called the multitude of the disciples to [them], said, It is not right that we, leaving the word of God, should serve tables.
Onda dvanaestorica dozvavši mnoštvo uèenika, rekoše: nije prilièno nama da ostavimo rijeè Božiju pa da služimo oko trpeza.
3 Look out therefore, brethren, from among yourselves seven men, well reported of, full of [the] [Holy] Spirit and wisdom, whom we will establish over this business:
Naðite dakle, braæo, meðu sobom sedam poštenijeh ljudi, punijeh Duha svetoga i premudrosti, koje æemo postaviti nad ovijem poslom.
4 but we will give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word.
A mi æemo u molitvi i u službi rijeèi ostati.
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and [the] Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch,
I ova rijeè bi ugodna svemu narodu. I izbraše Stefana, èovjeka napunjena vjere i Duha svetoga, i Filipa, i Prohora, i Nikanora, i Timona, i Parmena, i Nikolu pokrštenjaka iz Antiohije.
6 whom they set before the apostles; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Ove postaviše pred apostole, i oni pomolivši se Bogu metnuše ruke na njih.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was very greatly multiplied, and a great crowd of the priests obeyed the faith.
I rijeè Božija rastijaše, i množaše se vrlo broj uèenika u Jerusalimu. I sveštenici mnogi pokoravahu se vjeri.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought wonders and great signs among the people.
A Stefan pun vjere i sile èinjaše znake i èudesa velika meðu ljudima.
9 And there arose up certain of those of the synagogue called of freedmen, and of Cyrenians, and of Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
Tada ustaše neki iz zbornice koja se zove Liveræanska i Kirinaèka i Aleksandrijnaèka i onijeh koji bijahu iz Kilikije i Azije, i prepirahu se sa Stefanom.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
I ne mogahu protivu stati premudrosti i Duhu kojijem govoraše.
11 Then they suborned men, saying, We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.
Tada podgovoriše ljude te kazaše: èusmo ga gdje huli na Mojsija i na Boga.
12 And they roused the people, and the elders, and the scribes. And coming upon [him] they seized him and brought [him] to the council.
I pobuniše narod i starješine i književnike, i napadoše i uhvatiše ga, i dovedoše ga na sabor.
13 And they set false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against the holy place and the law;
I izvedoše lažne svjedoke koji govorahu: ovaj èovjek ne prestaje huliti na ovo sveto mjesto i na zakon.
14 for we have heard him saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us.
Jer ga èusmo gdje govori: ovaj Isus Nazareæanin razvaliæe ovo mjesto, i izmijeniæe obièaje koje nam ostavi Mojsije.
15 And all who sat in the council, looking fixedly on him, saw his face as [the] face of an angel.
I pogledavši na nj svi koji sjeðahu na saboru vidješe lice njegovo kao lice anðela.
