< Djela apostolska 14 >

1 U Ikoniju isto tako uđoše u židovsku sinagogu i govorahu tako da povjerova veliko mnoštvo Židova i Grka.
At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Ali nepokorni Židovi razdražiše i podjariše pogane protiv braće.
But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up and corrupted the minds of the Gentiles to be against the brothers.
3 Oni se ipak zadržaše duže vremena, smjeli u Gospodinu koji je svjedočio za Riječ milosti svoje, davao da se po njihovim rukama događaju znamenja i čudesa.
So Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was testifying to the message of his grace by granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Mnoštvo se gradsko podvoji: jedni bijahu za Židove, drugi za apostole.
But the population of the city was divided; some were with the Jews, and some were with the apostles.
5 Pogani i Židovi sa svojim glavarima navališe da zlostave i kamenuju apostole.
And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their rulers, to mistreat them and stone them,
6 Kada to opaziše, prebjegoše oni u likaonske gradove Listru i Derbu i okolicu.
Paul and Barnabas became aware of it and fled for refuge to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region.
7 Ondje su navješćivali evanđelje.
There they continued to preach the gospel.
8 U Listri je sjedio neki čovjek uzetih nogu, hrom od majčine utrobe; nikada nije hodao.
Now there was a man sitting in Lystra who could not use his feet. He had been lame from his mother's womb and had never walked.
9 Čuo je Pavla gdje govori.
This man listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked at him intently, and when he saw that he had faith to be healed,
10 Pavao ga pronikne pogledom, vidje da ima vjeru u spasenje pa mu iza glasa reče: “Uspravi se na noge!” On skoči i prohoda.
he said with a loud voice, “Stand up on yoʋr feet!” So the man leaped up and began to walk.
11 Kad mnoštvo ugleda što učini Pavao, povika likaonski: “Bogovi u ljudskom obličju siđoše k nama!”
When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.”
12 I nazvaše Barnabu Zeusom, a Pavla Hermesom jer je Pavao vodio riječ.
Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, since he was the one who took the lead in speaking.
13 A svećenik Zeusa Predgradskoga dovede pred vrata bikove i vijence te u zajednici s narodom htjede žrtvovati.
Then the priest of the shrine of Zeus that was located in front of their city brought bulls and garlands to the city gates, intending to offer sacrifices together with the crowds.
14 Kada su to dočuli apostoli Barnaba i Pavao, razdriješe haljine i uletješe u narod vičući:
But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about it, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, crying out,
15 “Ljudi, što to radite? I mi smo smrtnici, baš kao i vi! Navješćujemo vam da se od tih ispraznosti obratite k Bogu živomu koji stvori nebo i zemlju, more i sve što je u njima.
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.
16 On je u prošlim naraštajima pustio da svi pogani pođu svojim putovima.
In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own way,
17 Ipak ne ostavi sebe neposvjedočena: dobročinstva iskazuje, s neba vam kišu daje i vremena plodonosna, napunja hranom i radošću srca vaša.”
although he did not leave himself without a witness in that he did good by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 I tako govoreći, jedva sklonuše mnoštvo da im ne žrtvuje.
Yet even by saying these things, they barely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.
19 Uto iz Antiohije i Ikonija nadođu neki Židovi, pridobiju svjetinu te kamenuju Pavla i odvuku ga izvan grada misleći da je mrtav.
Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Kad ga pak okružiše učenici, usta on i uđe u grad. Sutradan ode s Barnabom u Derbu.
But when the disciples gathered around him, he rose and entered the city. The next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Pošto navijestiše evanđelje tomu gradu i mnoge učiniše učenicima, vratiše se u Listru, u Ikonij i u Antiohiju.
After preaching the gospel in that city and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Učvršćivali su duše učenika bodreći ih da ustraju u vjeri jer da nam je kroz mnoge nevolje ući u kraljevstvo Božje.
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and telling them that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.
23 Postavljali su im po crkvama starješine te ih, nakon molitve i posta, povjeravahu Gospodinu u kojega su povjerovali.
And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe.
24 Pošto su prešli Pizidiju, stigoše u Pamfiliju.
After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,
25 U Pergi navijestiše Riječ pa siđu u Ataliju.
and when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 Odande pak odjedriše u Antiohiju, odakle ono bijahu povjereni milosti Božjoj za djelo koje izvršiše.
From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.
27 Kada stigoše, sabraše Crkvu i pripovjediše što sve učini Bog po njima: da i poganima otvori vrata vjere.
After they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done through them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 I proveli su nemalo vremena s učenicima.
And they stayed there with the disciples for some time.
