Djela apostolska 14
1 U Ikoniju isto tako uđoše u židovsku sinagogu i govorahu tako da povjerova veliko mnoštvo Židova i Grka.
In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 Ali nepokorni Židovi razdražiše i podjariše pogane protiv braće.
But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles 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.
Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Mnoštvo se gradsko podvoji: jedni bijahu za Židove, drugi za apostole.
But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
5 Pogani i Židovi sa svojim glavarima navališe da zlostave i kamenuju apostole.
When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6 Kada to opaziše, prebjegoše oni u likaonske gradove Listru i Derbu i okolicu.
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 Ondje su navješćivali evanđelje.
There they preached the Good News.
8 U Listri je sjedio neki čovjek uzetih nogu, hrom od majčine utrobe; nikada nije hodao.
At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Čuo je Pavla gdje govori.
He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 Pavao ga pronikne pogledom, vidje da ima vjeru u spasenje pa mu iza glasa reče: “Uspravi se na noge!” On skoči i prohoda.
said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
11 Kad mnoštvo ugleda što učini Pavao, povika likaonski: “Bogovi u ljudskom obličju siđoše k nama!”
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “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.
They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
13 A svećenik Zeusa Predgradskoga dovede pred vrata bikove i vijence te u zajednici s narodom htjede žrtvovati.
The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
14 Kada su to dočuli apostoli Barnaba i Pavao, razdriješe haljine i uletješe u narod vičući:
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, 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 of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
16 On je u prošlim naraštajima pustio da svi pogani pođu svojim putovima.
who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Ipak ne ostavi sebe neposvjedočena: dobročinstva iskazuje, s neba vam kišu daje i vremena plodonosna, napunja hranom i radošću srca vaša.”
Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 I tako govoreći, jedva sklonuše mnoštvo da im ne žrtvuje.
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice 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.
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, 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 as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Pošto navijestiše evanđelje tomu gradu i mnoge učiniše učenicima, vratiše se u Listru, u Ikonij i u Antiohiju.
When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they 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 that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
23 Postavljali su im po crkvama starješine te ih, nakon molitve i posta, povjeravahu Gospodinu u kojega su povjerovali.
When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
24 Pošto su prešli Pizidiju, stigoše u Pamfiliju.
They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 U Pergi navijestiše Riječ pa siđu u Ataliju.
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, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 Kada stigoše, sabraše Crkvu i pripovjediše što sve učini Bog po njima: da i poganima otvori vrata vjere.
When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 I proveli su nemalo vremena s učenicima.
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
