Дела апостолска 28
1 И кад изиђоше срећно из лађе, тада разумеше да се острво зове Мелит.
And when we had escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita. But the barbarians shewed us no small courtesy.
2 А дивљаци чињаху нам не малу љубав, јер наложише огањ и примише нас све због дажда који иђаше, и због зиме.
For kindling a fire, they refreshed us all, because of the present rain, and of the cold.
3 А Павле зграбивши гомилу грања наложи на огањ, и изишавши змија од врућине скочи му на руку.
And when Paul had gathered together a bundle of sticks, and had laid them on the fire, a viper coming out of the heat, fastened on his hand.
4 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.
And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging on his hand, they said one to another: Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, who though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance doth not suffer him to live.
5 А он отресавши змију у огањ не би му ништа зло.
And he indeed shaking off the beast into the fire, suffered no harm.
6 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.
But they supposed that he would begin to swell up, and that he would suddenly fall down and die. But expecting long, and seeing that there came no harm to him, changing their minds, they said, that he was a god.
7 А наоколо око оног места беху села поглавара од острва по имену Поплија, који нас прими и угости љубазно три дана.
Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the island, named Publius, who receiving us, for three days entertained us courteously.
8 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.
And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody flux. To whom Paul entered in; and when he had prayed, and laid his hands on him, he healed him.
9 А кад то би, долажаху и други који беху болесни на острву оном, и исцељиваху се.
Which being done, all that had diseases in the island, came and were healed:
10 И поштоваху нас великим частима; и кад пођосмо, спремише нам што је од потребе.
Who also honoured us with many honours, and when we were to set sail, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
11 А после три месеца одвезосмо се на лађи александријској, која је била презимила на острву, и беху на њој написани Диоскури.
And after three months, we sailed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Castors.
12 И допловивши у Сиракузу остасмо онде три дана.
And when we were come to Syracusa, we tarried there three days.
13 А оданде отпловивши дођосмо у Ригију; и после једног дана кад дуну југ, дођосмо други дан у Потиоле.
From thence, compassing by the shore, we came to Rhegium: and after one day, the south wind blowing, we came the second day to Puteoli;
14 Онде нађемо браћу, и они нас замоле те останемо код њих седам дана; и тако пођосмо у Рим.
Where, finding brethren, we were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went to Rome.
15 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.
And from thence, when the brethren had heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum, and the Three Taverns: whom when Paul saw, he gave thanks to God, and took courage.
16 А кад дођосмо у Рим, капетан предаде сужње војводи. Али се Павлу допусти да живи где хоће с војником који га чуваше.
And when we were come to Rome, Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept him.
17 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,
And after the third day, he called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, brethren, I, having done nothing against the people, or the custom of our fathers, was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans;
18 Који извидевши за мене хтеше да ме пусте, јер се не нађе на мени ниједна смртна кривица.
Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me;
19 Али кад Јудејци говораху насупрот, натера ме невоља да се иштем пред ћесара, не као да бих свој народ имао шта тужити.
But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had any thing to accuse my nation of.
20 Тога ради узрока замолих вас да се видимо и да се разговоримо; јер наде ради Израиљеве окован сам у ово гвожђе.
For this cause therefore I desired to see you, and to speak to you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
21 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.
But they said to him: We neither received letters concerning thee from Judea, neither did any of the brethren that came hither, relate or speak any evil of thee.
22 Него молимо да чујемо од тебе шта мислиш; јер нам је познато за ову јерес да јој се свуда насупрот говори.
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest; for as concerning this sect, we know that it is every where contradicted.
23 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.
And when they had appointed him a day, there came very many to him unto his lodgings; to whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening.
24 И једни вероваху ономе што говораше а једни не вероваху.
And some believed the things that were said; but some believed not.
25 А будући несложни међу собом, одлажаху кад рече Павле једну реч: Добро каза Дух Свети преко пророка Исаије очевима нашим
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, Paul speaking this one word: Well did the Holy Ghost speak to our fathers by Isaias the prophet,
26 Говорећи: Иди к народу овоме и кажи: Ушима ћете чути и нећете разумети; и очима ћете гледати и нећете видети.
Saying: Go to this people, and say to them: With the ear you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.
27 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.
For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes they have shut; lest perhaps they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
28 Да вам је дакле на знање да се незнабошцима посла спасење Божје, они ће и чути.
Be it known therefore to you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.
29 И кад он ово рече, отидоше Јевреји препирући се међу собом.
And when he had said these things, the Jews went out from him, having much reasoning among themselves.
30 А Павле остаде пуне две године о свом трошку, и дочекиваше све који му долажаху,
And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging; and he received all that came in to him,
31 Проповедајући царство Божје, и учећи о Господу нашем Исусу Христу слободно, и нико му не брањаше.
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, without prohibition.
