Acts 4
1 [Meanwhile, in the temple courtyard, there were some] priests, the officer who was in charge of the temple police, and [also some] [SYN] Sadducee [sect members]. These men came to Peter and John while the two of them were speaking to the people.
А кад они говораху народу, наиђоше на њих свештеници и војвода црквени и садукеји;
2 These men were very angry, because the [two] apostles were teaching the people [about Jesus]. What they were telling the people was that because ([God caused Jesus to become alive again/God raised] Jesus [from the dead]), [God] would cause other people who had died to become alive again.
И расрдише се, што они уче људе и јављају у Исусу васкрсење из мртвих.
3 So those officials seized Peter and John. Then they put them in jail. [They had to wait] until the next day [to question Peter and John], because it was already evening [and it was contrary to their Jewish law to question people at night].
И дигоше на њих руке, и метнуше их у затвор до ујутру: јер већ беше вече.
4 However, many people who had heard the message [from Peter] believed [in Jesus]. (OR, But many people had [already] believed [in Jesus, because] they had heard the message [from Peter].) So the number of men [who believed in Jesus] increased to about five 5,000.
А од оних који слушаху реч многи вероваше, и постаде број људи око пет хиљада.
5 The next day [the supreme priest summoned] the [other] chief priests, the teachers of the [Jewish] laws, and the other members [of the Jewish Council, and they] gathered together [in one place] in Jerusalem.
А кад би ујутру, скупише се кнезови њихови и старешине и књижевници у Јерусалим,
6 Annas, [the former] supreme priest, Caiaphas [who was the new supreme priest], [two other former supreme priests whose names were] John and Alexander, and other men who were related to the supreme priest [were there].
А Ана поглавар свештенички и Кајафа и Јован и Александар и колико их год беше од рода свештеничког;
7 They [commanded guards to] bring Peter and John into the courtroom [MTY] and have them stand in front of them. [Then one of] the leaders questioned [the two of] them, saying, “Who [do you two claim] gave you the power [to heal this man]? And who authorized [MTY] you to do this [DOU]?”
И метнувши их на средину питаху: Каквом силом или у чије име учинисте ви ово?
8 So as the Holy Spirit completely controlled Peter, he said to them, “You [fellow Israelites] who rule us and [all of you other] elders, [listen]!
Тада Петар напунивши се Духа Светог рече им: Кнезови народни и старешине Израиљеве!
9 Today you are questioning us concerning our doing something good for a man who was crippled, and you asked us how he was healed.
Ако нас данас питате за добро дело које учинисмо болесном човеку те он оздрави:
10 So [we(exc) want] you and all [of our other] fellow Israelites to know this: It is because Jesus the Messiah [MTY] from Nazareth healed this man that he is able to stand here. [God considers that] it was you who nailed Jesus to a cross, but God caused him to become alive again.
Да је на знање свима вама и свему народу Израиљевом да у име Исуса Христа Назарећанина, ког ви распесте, ког Бог подиже из мртвих, стоји овај пред вама здрав.
11 [In the Psalms this was written about the Messiah: ] He is [like] [MET] the stone that was rejected by the builders {that the builders rejected}. But that stone became the most important stone in the building [that they were building]. [Jesus is that stone, and] you [are those builders who threw away the stone that was the most important one].
Ово је камен који ви зидари одбацисте, а постаде глава од угла: и нема ни у једном другом спасења;
12 So he alone can save us [MTY]. [God] has sent only one person [MTY] into the world who can save us [from the guilt of our sins, and that person is Jesus]!”
Јер нема другог имена под небом даног људима којим би се ми могли спасти.
13 The [Jewish leaders] realized that Peter and John (were not afraid [of them]/spoke boldly). They also learned that the two men were ordinary people who had not studied in schools. So the leaders were amazed, and they realized that these men had associated with Jesus.
А кад видеше слободу Петрову и Јованову, и знајући да су људи некњижевни и прости, дивљаху се, и знаху их да беху с Исусом.
14 They also saw the man who had been healed standing there with [the two of] them, so they were not able to say anything [to oppose Peter and John].
А видећи исцељеног човека где с њима стоји не могаху ништа противу рећи.
15 So the [Jewish leaders] commanded [guards] to take Peter, John, and the man outside of the room [where those leaders were meeting. After they did so], the leaders talked with each other [about Peter and John].
Онда им заповедише да изиђу напоље из савета, па питаху један другог
16 [Being frustrated, one after another], they said, “(There is really nothing that we can do to [punish] these [two] men!/How can we [(inc)] do anything to [punish] these [two] men?) [RHQ] Almost everyone [HYP] who is living in Jerusalem knows that they have done an amazing miracle, so we cannot tell people that it did not happen!
Говорећи: Шта ћете чинити овим људима? Јер велики знак што учинише они познат је свима који живе у Јерусалиму, и не можемо одрећи;
17 However, [we] must not allow other people to hear about [this miracle]. So we must tell these men that [we will punish them if they] continue to tell other people about this [MTY] man [who they say gave them the power to do it].”
Али да се даље не разилази по народу, да им оштро запретимо да више не говоре за име ово никоме.
18 So the Jewish leaders [commanded guards] to bring the two apostles [into that room again. After they did so], they [commanded] them both that they should never speak about Jesus, and they should not teach [anyone about him] [MTY] [again].
И дозвавши их заповедише им да ништа не спомињу нити да уче у име Исусово.
19 But Peter and John replied, “Would God think that it is right [for us two] to obey you and not [to obey] him? [We(exc) will let] you decide [which of those you think is proper].
Петар и Јован одговарајући рекоше им: Судите је ли право пред Богом да вас већма слушамо неголи Бога?
20 [But as for us, we cannot obey you]. We will not stop telling people about the things that we [(exc)] have seen [Jesus do] and what we have heard [him teach].”
Јер ми не можемо не говорити шта видесмо и чусмо.
21 Then the [Jewish leaders] again told [Peter and John] not to disobey them. But all the people [there] were praising God about what had happened [to the lame man. The leaders knew that only God could have enabled Peter and John] to miraculously heal the man, because the man was more than 40 years old [and he was lame when his mother bore him. They also knew that the people would become angry if they punished the two apostles]. So, because they could not decide how to punish Peter and John, [they finally] let them go.
А они запретивши им пустише их, не нашавши ништа како би их мучили, народа ради; јер сви хваљаху Бога за оно што се беше догодило.
Јер оном човеку беше више од четрдесет година на коме се догоди ово чудо здравља.
23 After Peter and John had been released, they went to the other believers and reported all that the chief priests and [other Jewish] elders had said to them.
А кад их отпустише, дођоше к својима, и јавише им шта рекоше главари свештенички и старешине.
24 When they heard that, they [all] agreed as they prayed to God, and [one of] them prayed, “O Lord! You [(sg)] made the sky, the earth and the oceans, and everything in them.
А они кад чуше, једнодушно подигоше глас к Богу и рекоше: Господе Боже, Ти који си створио небо и земљу и море и све што је у њима;
25 The Holy Spirit caused our ancestor, [King] David [MTY], who served you, to write these words: [It is ridiculous] [RHQ] that the non-Jews became angry and the Israelite people planned uselessly [to oppose God].
Који устима Давида слуге свог рече: Зашто се буне незнабошци, и народи измишљају празне речи?
26 The kings of the world prepared to fight [God’s Ruler], and the [other] rulers assembled together [with them] to oppose the Lord [God] and the one whom he had appointed [to be the Messiah].
Састаше се цареви земаљски, и кнезови се сабраше уједно на Господа и на Христа Његовог.
27 [Lord, we know that what you(sg) said long ago was true], because [King] Herod and the [governor], Pontius Pilate, and many other people, both non-Jews and Israelites, assembled together [here] in this city. [They] planned [to kill] Jesus, who devotedly served you [and] whom you appointed [MTY] [to be the Messiah].
Заиста се сабраше у овом граду на светог Сина Твог Исуса, ког си помазао, Ирод и понтијски Пилат с незнабошцима и с народом Израиљевим,
28 [Because] you [(sg)] are all-powerful, those people did [only] what you [SYN] allowed [them to do]. It was what you decided long ago would happen.”
Да учине шта рука Твоја и савет Твој напред одреди да буде.
29 “So now, Lord, listen to what they are saying about punishing us! Help us who serve you [(sg)] to very boldly speak messages from you [(sg) about Jesus]
И сад Господе! Погледај на њихове претње, и дај слугама својим да говоре са сваком слободом реч Твоју;
30 [Also], by your power [MTY] miraculously heal [sick people] and do other amazing miracles [SYN] that show people your power! Ask Jesus, who always serves you, [to give us the authority] [MTY] [to do such miracles]!”
И пружај руку своју на исцељивање и да знаци и чудеса буду именом светог Сина Твог Исуса.
31 When the believers had finished praying, the place where they were meeting shook. All of them were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of them}, with the result that they began to speak boldly the words that God [told them to speak].
И пошто се они помолише Богу затресе се место где беху сабрани, и напунише се сви Духа Светог, и говораху реч Божју са слободом.
32 The group of people who had believed [in Jesus] were completely agreed about what they thought and what they wanted/desired. Not one of them claimed that he [alone] owned anything. Instead, they shared with one another everything that they had.
А у народа који верова беше једно срце и једна душа; и ниједан не говораше за имање своје да је његово, него им све беше заједничко.
33 The apostles continued to tell others, very powerfully, [that God] had (caused the Lord Jesus to become alive again/raised the Lord Jesus from the dead). [People knew that God] was graciously helping all the believers.
И апостоли с великом силом сведочаху за васкрсење Господа Исуса Христа; и благодат велика беше на свима њима:
34 [Some of] the believers who owned land or houses would occasionally sell [some of] their property. Then they would bring [the money for what they sold]
Јер ниједан међу њима не беше сиромашан, јер колико их год беше који имаху њиве или куће, продаваху и доношаху новце што узимаху зато,
35 and they would present it to the apostles [MTY]. Then [the apostles] would give money to any [believer] who needed [it]. So no one among the believers was lacking anything.
И метаху пред ноге апостолима; и даваше се свакоме као што ко требаше.
36 [For example, there was] Joseph. [He was] a descendant of Levi [and he was born] on Cyprus [Island]. The apostles called him Barnabas; [in the Jewish language] that name means a person who [IDM] always encourages [others].
А Јосија, прозвани од апостола Варнава, које значи Син утехе, Левит родом из Кипра,
37 He sold one of his fields, and brought the money to the apostles [for them to distribute to other believers].
Он имаше њиву, и продавши је донесе новце и метну апостолима пред ноге.
