Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
Dogodi se pak, kad bješe Apolos u Korintu, da Pavle prolažaše gornje zemlje, i doðe u Efes, i našavši neke uèenike
2 And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.
Reèe im: jeste li primili Duha svetoga kad ste vjerovali? A oni mu rekoše: nijesmo ni èuli da ima Duh sveti.
3 And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John’s baptism.
A on im reèe: na što se dakle krstiste? A oni rekoše: na krštenje Jovanovo.
4 Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.
A Pavle reèe: Jovan krsti krštenjem pokajanja, govoreæi narodu da vjeruju onoga koji æe za njim doæi, to jest, Hrista Isusa.
5 Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
A kad to èuše, krstiše se u ime Gospoda Isusa.
6 And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
A kad Pavle metnu ruke na njih, siðe Duh sveti na njih, i govorahu jezike i proricahu.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
A bijaše ljudi svega oko dvanaest.
8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.
I ušavši u zbornicu govoraše slobodno tri mjeseca uèeæi i uvjeravajuæi za carstvo Božije.
9 But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
I kad neki bijahu otvrdnuli i svaðahu se huleæi na put Gospodnji pred narodom, otstupi od njih i odluèi uèenike, pa se prepiraše svaki dan u školi nekoga Tirana.
10 And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.
I ovo je bivalo dvije godine, tako da svi koji življahu u Aziji, i Jevreji i Grci, èuše rijeè Gospoda Isusa.
11 And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.
I Bog èinjaše ne mala èudesa rukama Pavlovijem,
12 So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the wicked spirits went out of them.
Tako da su i èalme i ubrušèiæe znojave od tijela njegova nosili na bolesnike, i oni se iscjeljivahu od bolesti, i duhovi zli izlažahu iz njih.
13 Now some also of the Jewish exorcists who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.
I poèeše neki od Jevreja, koji se skitahu i zaklinjahu ðavole, spominjati nad onima u kojima bijahu zli duhovi ime Gospoda Isusa govoreæi: zaklinjemo vas Isusom koga Pavle propovijeda.
14 And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.
A bijahu nekijeh sedam sinova Skeve Jevrejina, poglavara sveštenièkoga, koji ovo èinjahu.
15 But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?
A duh zli odgovarajuæi reèe: Isusa poznajem, i Pavla znam; ali vi ko ste?
16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them, and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
I skoèivši na njih èovjek u kome bješe zli duh nadvlada ih, i pritište ih poda se tako da goli i izranjeni utekoše iz one kuæe.
17 And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
I ovo doznadoše svi koji življahu u Efesu, i Jevreji i Grci; i uðe strah u sve njih, i velièaše se ime Gospoda Isusa.
18 And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.
I mnogi od onijeh što vjerovahu, dolažahu te se ispovijedahu i kazivahu šta su uèinili.
19 And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
A mnogi od onijeh koji èarahu, sabravši knjige svoje spaljivahu ih pred svima; i proraèuniše i naðoše da su vrijedele pedeset hiljada groša.
20 So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.
Tako zdravo rastijaše i nadvlaðivaše rijeè Gospodnja.
21 And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.
I kad se ovo svrši, namisli Pavle da proðe preko Maæedonije i Ahaje, i da ide u Jerusalim, i reèe: pošto budem tamo, valja mi i Rim vidjeti.
22 And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
I posla u Maæedoniju dvojicu od onijeh koji ga služahu, Timotija i Erasta; a on osta neko vrijeme u Aziji.
23 Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.
A u ono vrijeme podiže se ne mala buna puta radi Gospodnjega,
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
Jer nekakav zlatar, po imenu Dimitrije, koji graðaše Dijani srebrne crkvice i davaše majstorima ne mali posao,
25 Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;
On skupi ove i drugijeh ovakovijeh stvari majstore, i reèe: ljudi! vi znate da od ovoga posla mi imamo dobitak za svoje življenje;
26 And you see and hear, that this Paul by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: They are not gods which are made by hands.
I vidite i èujete da ne samo u Efesu nego gotovo po svoj Aziji ovaj Pavle odvrati narod mnogi, govoreæi: to nijesu bogovi što se rukama èovjeèijim grade.
27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing; yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
I ne samo što æe ova nesreæa doæi na naš zanat da ne prolazi, nego se neæe mariti ni za crkvu velike boginje Dijane, i propašæe velièanstvo one koju sva Azija i vasioni svijet poštuje.
28 Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
A kad oni ovo èuše, napuniše se gnjeva, i vikahu govoreæi: velika je Dijana Efeska!
29 And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
I sav se grad napuni bune: i navalivši jednodušno na zborište uhvatiše Gaja i Aristarha iz Maæedonije, drugove Pavlove.
30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
A kad Pavle šæaše da ide meðu narod, ne dadoše mu uèenici.
31 And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
A neki i od Azijskijeh poglavara koji mu bijahu prijatelji, poslaše k njemu svjetujuæi ga da ne izlazi na zborište.
32 Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.
Jedni pak vikahu jedno a drugi drugo; jer bijaše sabor smuæen, i najviše ih ne znadijahu zašto su se skupili.
33 And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction.
A jedni od naroda izvukoše Aleksandra, kad ga Jevreji izvedoše. A Aleksandar mahnuvši rukom šæaše da odgovori narodu.
34 But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
A kad ga poznaše da je Jevrejin, povikaše svi u glas, i vikahu oko dva sahata: velika je Dijana Efeska.
35 And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of Jupiter’s offspring.
A pisar utišavši narod reèe: ljudi Efesci! Ko je taj èovjek koji ne zna da grad Efes slavi veliku boginju Dijanu i njezin kip nebeski?
36 For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Kad dakle to ne može niko odreæi, valja vi da budete mirni, i ništa naglo da ne èinite;
37 For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.
Jer dovedoste ove ljude koji niti su crkvu Dijaninu pokrali, niti hule na vašu boginju.
38 But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
A Dimitrije i majstori koji su s njim ako imaju kakvu tužbu, imaju sudovi, i imaju namjesnici, neka tuže jedan drugoga.
39 And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.
Ako li što drugo ištete, neka se izvidi na pravoj skupštini.
40 For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse.
Jer se bojimo da ne budemo tuženi za današnju bunu; a nijednoga uzroka nema kojijem bismo se mogli opravdati za ovu bunu.
41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
I ovo rekavši raspusti narod koji se bješe sabrao.
