Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, 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 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
Reèe im: jeste li primili Duha svetoga kad ste vjerovali? A oni mu rekoše: nijesmo ni èuli da ima Duh sveti.
3 He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
A on im reèe: na što se dakle krstiste? A oni rekoše: na krštenje Jovanovo.
4 Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
A Pavle reèe: Jovan krsti krštenjem pokajanja, govoreæi narodu da vjeruju onoga koji æe za njim doæi, to jest, Hrista Isusa.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
A kad to èuše, krstiše se u ime Gospoda Isusa.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
A kad Pavle metnu ruke na njih, siðe Duh sveti na njih, i govorahu jezike i proricahu.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
A bijaše ljudi svega oko dvanaest.
8 He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.
I ušavši u zbornicu govoraše slobodno tri mjeseca uèeæi i uvjeravajuæi za carstvo Božije.
9 But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of 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 This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
I ovo je bivalo dvije godine, tako da svi koji življahu u Aziji, i Jevreji i Grci, èuše rijeè Gospoda Isusa.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
I Bog èinjaše ne mala èudesa rukama Pavlovijem,
12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
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 But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
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 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
A bijahu nekijeh sedam sinova Skeve Jevrejina, poglavara sveštenièkoga, koji ovo èinjahu.
15 The evil spirit answered, “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 The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and 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 This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. 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 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
I mnogi od onijeh što vjerovahu, dolažahu te se ispovijedahu i kazivahu šta su uèinili.
19 Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it 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 the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Tako zdravo rastijaše i nadvlaðivaše rijeè Gospodnja.
21 Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
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 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
I posla u Maæedoniju dvojicu od onijeh koji ga služahu, Timotija i Erasta; a on osta neko vrijeme u Aziji.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
A u ono vrijeme podiže se ne mala buna puta radi Gospodnjega,
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Jer nekakav zlatar, po imenu Dimitrije, koji graðaše Dijani srebrne crkvice i davaše majstorima ne mali posao,
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
On skupi ove i drugijeh ovakovijeh stvari majstore, i reèe: ljudi! vi znate da od ovoga posla mi imamo dobitak za svoje življenje;
26 You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with 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 Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
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 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
A kad oni ovo èuše, napuniše se gnjeva, i vikahu govoreæi: velika je Dijana Efeska!
29 The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
I sav se grad napuni bune: i navalivši jednodušno na zborište uhvatiše Gaja i Aristarha iz Maæedonije, drugove Pavlove.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
A kad Pavle šæaše da ide meðu narod, ne dadoše mu uèenici.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
A neki i od Azijskijeh poglavara koji mu bijahu prijatelji, poslaše k njemu svjetujuæi ga da ne izlazi na zborište.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.
Jedni pak vikahu jedno a drugi drugo; jer bijaše sabor smuæen, i najviše ih ne znadijahu zašto su se skupili.
33 They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
A jedni od naroda izvukoše Aleksandra, kad ga Jevreji izvedoše. A Aleksandar mahnuvši rukom šæaše da odgovori narodu.
34 But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
A kad ga poznaše da je Jevrejin, povikaše svi u glas, i vikahu oko dva sahata: velika je Dijana Efeska.
35 When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
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 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
Kad dakle to ne može niko odreæi, valja vi da budete mirni, i ništa naglo da ne èinite;
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Jer dovedoste ove ljude koji niti su crkvu Dijaninu pokrali, niti hule na vašu boginju.
38 If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
A Dimitrije i majstori koji su s njim ako imaju kakvu tužbu, imaju sudovi, i imaju namjesnici, neka tuže jedan drugoga.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Ako li što drugo ištete, neka se izvidi na pravoj skupštini.
40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”
Jer se bojimo da ne budemo tuženi za današnju bunu; a nijednoga uzroka nema kojijem bismo se mogli opravdati za ovu bunu.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
I ovo rekavši raspusti narod koji se bješe sabrao.
