who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called Barnabas and Saul to [him], desired to hear the word of God.

But Elymas the magician (for so his name is by interpretation) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 Savao pak, zvan i Pavao, pun Duha Svetoga, ošinu ga pogledom
But Saul, who also [is] Paul, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, fixing his eyes upon him,
10 i reče: “Pun svake lukavosti i prevrtljivosti, sine đavolski, neprijatelju svake pravednosti, zar nikako da prestaneš iskrivljavati ravne putove Gospodnje?
said, O full of all deceit and all craft: son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease perverting the right paths of [the] Lord?

Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.

that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.
34 Da ga pak uskrisi od mrtvih te se on više nikad neće vratiti u trulež, rekao je ovime: Dat ću vama svetinje Davidove, pouzdane.
But that he raised him from among [the] dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke thus: I will give to you the faithful mercies of David.
35 Zato i na drugome mjestu kaže: Nećeš dati da Svetac tvoj ugleda truleži.
Wherefore also he says in another, Thou wilt not suffer thy gracious one to see corruption.
36 David doista, pošto u svom naraštaju posluži volji Božjoj, preminu, pridruži se ocima svojim i vidje trulež,

See therefore that that which is spoken in the prophets do not come upon [you],
41 Obazrite se, preziratelji, snebijte se i nestanite! Jer djelo činim u dane vaše, djelo u koje ne biste vjerovali da vam ga tko ispriča.”
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe if one declare it to you.
42 Na izlasku su ih molili da im iduće subote o tome govore.
And as they went out they begged that these words might be spoken to them the ensuing sabbath.

And Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you; but, since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)
47 Jer ovako nam je zapovjedio Gospodin: Postavih te za svjetlost poganima, da budeš na spasenje do nakraj zemlje.
for thus has the Lord enjoined us: I have set thee for a light of the nations, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth.
48 Pogani koji su slušali radovali su se i slavili riječ Gospodnju te povjerovaše oni koji bijahu određeni za život vječni. (aiōnios g166)
And [those of] the nations, hearing it, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed, as many as were ordained to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

And the word of the Lord was carried through the whole country.
