Acts 28
1 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
И кад изиђоше срећно из лађе, тада разумеше да се острво зове Мелит.
2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
А дивљаци чињаху нам не малу љубав, јер наложише огањ и примише нас све због дажда који иђаше, и због зиме.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.
А Павле зграбивши гомилу грања наложи на огањ, и изишавши змија од врућине скочи му на руку.
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”
И кад видеше дивљаци змију где виси о руци његовој, говораху један другом: Јамачно је овај човек крвник, ког избављеног од мора суд Божји не остави да живи.
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.
А он отресавши змију у огањ не би му ништа зло.
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
А они чекаху да он отече или уједанпут да падне мртав. А кад задуго чекаше, и видеше да му ништа зло не би, променише се, и говораху да је он бог.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.
А наоколо око оног места беху села поглавара од острва по имену Поплија, који нас прими и угости љубазно три дана.
8 The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
А догоди се да отац Поплијев лежаше од грознице и од срдобоље, коме ушавши Павле помоли се Богу и метну руке своје на њ и исцели га.
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
А кад то би, долажаху и други који беху болесни на острву оном, и исцељиваху се.
10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
И поштоваху нас великим частима; и кад пођосмо, спремише нам што је од потребе.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
А после три месеца одвезосмо се на лађи александријској, која је била презимила на острву, и беху на њој написани Диоскури.
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
И допловивши у Сиракузу остасмо онде три дана.
13 From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
А оданде отпловивши дођосмо у Ригију; и после једног дана кад дуну југ, дођосмо други дан у Потиоле.
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
Онде нађемо браћу, и они нас замоле те останемо код њих седам дана; и тако пођосмо у Рим.
15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
И оданде чувши браћа за нас изиђоше нам на сусрет све до Апијева пазара и три крчме. И кад их виде Павле, даде хвалу Богу, и ослободи се.
16 When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
А кад дођосмо у Рим, капетан предаде сужње војводи. Али се Павлу допусти да живи где хоће с војником који га чуваше.
17 After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
А после три дана Павле сазва старешине јеврејске. И кад се они скупише, говораше им: Људи браћо! Ја ништа не учиних противно народу или обичајима отачким; и Јерусалимљани предаше ме као сужња у руке Римљанима,
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
Који извидевши за мене хтеше да ме пусте, јер се не нађе на мени ниједна смртна кривица.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
Али кад Јудејци говораху насупрот, натера ме невоља да се иштем пред ћесара, не као да бих свој народ имао шта тужити.
20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Тога ради узрока замолих вас да се видимо и да се разговоримо; јер наде ради Израиљеве окован сам у ово гвожђе.
21 They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
А они му рекоше: Ми нити примисмо писма за те из Јудеје; нити дође ко од браће да јави или да говори шта зло за тебе.
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
Него молимо да чујемо од тебе шта мислиш; јер нам је познато за ову јерес да јој се свуда насупрот говори.
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
И одредивши му дан дођоше к њему у гостионицу многи; којима казиваше сведочећи царство Божје и уверавајући их за Исуса из закона Мојсијевог и из пророка од јутра до самог мрака.
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
И једни вероваху ономе што говораше а једни не вероваху.
25 When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
А будући несложни међу собом, одлажаху кад рече Павле једну реч: Добро каза Дух Свети преко пророка Исаије очевима нашим
26 saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
Говорећи: Иди к народу овоме и кажи: Ушима ћете чути и нећете разумети; и очима ћете гледати и нећете видети.
27 For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’
Јер одрвени срце овог народа, и ушима тешко чују, и очима својим зажмурише да како не виде очима, и ушима не чују, и да се не обрате да их исцелим.
28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
Да вам је дакле на знање да се незнабошцима посла спасење Божје, они ће и чути.
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
И кад он ово рече, отидоше Јевреји препирући се међу собом.
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
А Павле остаде пуне две године о свом трошку, и дочекиваше све који му долажаху,
31 preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
Проповедајући царство Божје, и учећи о Господу нашем Исусу Христу слободно, и нико му не брањаше.
