Дела апостолска 28
1 И кад изиђоше срећно из лађе, тада разумеше да се острво зове Мелит.
When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
2 А дивљаци чињаху нам не малу љубав, јер наложише огањ и примише нас све због дажда који иђаше, и због зиме.
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.
3 А Павле зграбивши гомилу грања наложи на огањ, и изишавши змија од врућине скочи му на руку.
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and 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.
When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."
5 А он отресавши змију у огањ не би му ништа зло.
However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
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 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.
7 А наоколо око оног места беху села поглавара од острва по имену Поплија, који нас прими и угости љубазно три дана.
Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.
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.
It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9 А кад то би, долажаху и други који беху болесни на острву оном, и исцељиваху се.
Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
10 И поштоваху нас великим частима; и кад пођосмо, спремише нам што је од потребе.
They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 А после три месеца одвезосмо се на лађи александријској, која је била презимила на острву, и беху на њој написани Диоскури.
After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
12 И допловивши у Сиракузу остасмо онде три дана.
Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 А оданде отпловивши дођосмо у Ригију; и после једног дана кад дуну југ, дођосмо други дан у Потиоле.
From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14 Онде нађемо браћу, и они нас замоле те останемо код њих седам дана; и тако пођосмо у Рим.
where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came 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.
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.
16 А кад дођосмо у Рим, капетан предаде сужње војводи. Али се Павлу допусти да живи где хоће с војником који га чуваше.
When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded 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,
It happened that after three days he called together those who were the Jewish leaders. 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,
18 Који извидевши за мене хтеше да ме пусте, јер се не нађе на мени ниједна смртна кривица.
who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because 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 when the Jews spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
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 asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of 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.
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.
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 from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."
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.
When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
24 И једни вероваху ономе што говораше а једни не вероваху.
Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
25 А будући несложни међу собом, одлажаху кад рече Павле једну реч: Добро каза Дух Свети преко пророка Исаије очевима нашим
When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,
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, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way 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 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, and I would 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 the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
29 И кад он ово рече, отидоше Јевреји препирући се међу собом.
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 А Павле остаде пуне две године о свом трошку, и дочекиваше све који му долажаху,
And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
31 Проповедајући царство Божје, и учећи о Господу нашем Исусу Христу слободно, и нико му не брањаше.
proclaiming the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah with all boldness, without hindrance.
