Djela apostolska 1
1 Prvu sam knjigu, Teofile, sastavio o svemu što je Isus činio i učio
My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,
2 do dana kad je uznesen pošto je dao upute apostolima koje je izabrao po Duhu Svetome.
after giving instruction through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom He had chosen, He was taken up to Heaven.
3 Njima je poslije svoje muke mnogim dokazima pokazao da je živ, četrdeset im se dana ukazivao i govorio o kraljevstvu Božjem.
He had also, after He suffered, shown Himself alive to them with many sure proofs, appearing to them at intervals during forty days, and speaking of the Kingdom of God.
4 I dok je jednom s njima blagovao, zapovjedi im da ne napuštaju Jeruzalema, nego neka čekaju Obećanje Očevo “koje čuste od mene:
And while in their company He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father's promised gift. "This you have heard of," He said, "from me.
5 Ivan je krstio vodom, a vi ćete naskoro nakon ovih dana biti kršteni Duhom Svetim.”
For John indeed baptized with water, but before many days have passed you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
6 Nato ga sabrani upitaše: “Gospodine, hoćeš li u ovo vrijeme Izraelu opet uspostaviti kraljevstvo?”
Once when they were with Him, they asked Him, "Master, is this the time at which you are about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
7 On im odgovori: “Nije vaše znati vremena i zgode koje je Otac podredio svojoj vlasti.
"It is not for you," He replied, "to know times or epochs which the Father has reserved within His own authority;
8 Nego primit ćete snagu Duha Svetoga koji će sići na vas i bit ćete mi svjedoci u Jeruzalemu, po svoj Judeji i Samariji i sve do kraja zemlje.”
and yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and to the remotest parts of the earth."
9 Kada to reče, bi uzdignut njima naočigled i oblak ga ote njihovim očima.
When He had said this, and while they were looking at Him, He was carried up, and a cloud closing beneath Him hid Him from their sight.
10 I dok su netremice gledali kako on odlazi na nebo, gle, dva čovjeka stadoše kraj njih u bijeloj odjeći
But, while they stood intently gazing into the sky as He went, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,
11 i rekoše im: “Galilejci, što stojite i gledate u nebo? Ovaj Isus koji je od vas uznesen na nebo isto će tako doći kao što ste vidjeli da odlazi na nebo.”
who said, "Galilaeans, why stand looking into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into Heaven will come in just the same way as you have seen Him going into Heaven."
12 Onda se vratiše u Jeruzalem s brda zvanoga Maslinsko, koje je blizu Jeruzalema, udaljeno jedan subotni hod.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Oliveyard, which is near Jerusalem, about a mile off.
13 I pošto uđu u grad, uspnu se u gornju sobu gdje su boravili: Petar i Ivan i Jakov i Andrija, Filip i Toma, Bartolomej i Matej, Jakov Alfejev i Šimun Revnitelj i Juda Jakovljev -
They entered the city, and they went up to the upper room which was now their fixed place for meeting. Their names were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
14 svi oni bijahu jednodušno postojani u molitvi sa ženama, i Marijom, majkom Isusovom, i braćom njegovom.
All of these with one mind continued earnest in prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.
15 U one dane ustade Petar među braćom - a bijaše sakupljenog naroda oko sto i dvadeset duša - i reče:
It was on one of these days that Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren--the entire number of persons present being about 120--and said,
16 “Braćo! Trebalo je da se ispuni Pismo što ga na usta Davidova proreče Duh Sveti o Judi koji bijaše vođa onih što uhvatiše Isusa.
"Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled--the prediction, I mean, which the Holy Spirit uttered by the lips of David, about Judas, who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17 A Juda se ubrajao među nas i imao udio u ovoj službi.
For Judas was reckoned as one of our number, and a share in this ministry was allotted to him."
18 On, eto, steče predio cijenom nepravednosti pa se stropošta, raspuče po sredini i razli mu se sva utroba.
(Now having bought a piece of ground with the money paid for his wickedness he fell there with his face downwards, and, his body bursting open, he became disembowelled.
19 I svim je Jeruzalemcima znano da se onaj predio njihovim jezikom zove Akeldama, to jest Predio smrti.
This fact became widely known to the people of Jerusalem, so that the place received the name, in their language, of Achel-damach, which means 'The Field of Blood.')
20 Pisano je doista u Knjizi psalama: Njegova kuća nek opusti, nek ne bude stanovnika u njoj! Njegovo nadgledništvo nek dobije drugi!
"For it is written in the Book of Psalms, "'Let his encampment be desolate: let there be no one to dwell there'; and "'His work let another take up.'
21 Jedan dakle od ovih ljudi što bijahu s nama za sve vrijeme što je među nama živio Gospodin Isus -
"It is necessary, therefore, that of the men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us--
22 počevši od krštenja Ivanova pa sve do dana kad bi uzet od nas - treba da bude svjedokom njegova uskrsnuća.
beginning from His baptism by John down to the day on which He was taken up again from us into Heaven--one should be appointed to become a witness with us as to His resurrection."
23 I postaviše dvojicu: Josipa koji se zvao Barsaba a prozvao se Just, i Matiju.
So two names were proposed, Joseph called Bar-sabbas--and surnamed Justus--and Matthias.
24 Onda se pomoliše: “Ti, Gospodine, poznavaoče svih srdaca, pokaži koga si od ove dvojice izabrao
And the brethren prayed, saying, "Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show clearly which of these two Thou hast chosen
25 da primi mjesto ove apostolske službe kojoj se iznevjeri Juda da ode na svoje mjesto.”
to occupy the place in this ministry and Apostleship from which Judas through transgression fell, in order to go to his own place."
26 Onda baciše kocke i kocka pade na Matiju; tako bi pribrojen jedanaestorici apostola.
Then they drew lots between them. The lot fell on Matthias, and a place among the eleven Apostles was voted to him.
