Djela apostolska 16
1 Stiže tako u Derbu i Listru. Ondje, gle, bijaše učenik neki imenom Timotej, sin neke pokrštene Židovke i oca Grka.
And he came also to Derbe and Lystra, where there was a certain disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, and of a Greek father.
2 Uživao je dobar glas među braćom u Listri i Ikoniju.
He was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconiun.
3 Pavao htjede da on pođe s njime pa ga uze i obreza zbog Židova koji bijahu u onim mjestima. Jer svi su znali da mu je otac Grk.
Now Paul, wishing that this man should accompany him on his journey, took him and circumcised him because of the local Jews, who all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 I kako su prolazili gradovima, predavali su im za opsluživanje odredbe koje su apostoli i starješine utvrdili u Jeruzalemu.
And as they went on their way through the cities they handed them the resolutions which the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem had ordained for them to keep.
5 Tako se Crkve učvršćivahu u vjeri i broj im se danomice povećavao.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith and continued to increase in number daily.
6 Prođoše Frigiju i galacijski kraj jer ih je Duh Sveti spriječio propovijedati riječ u Aziji.
Then they went through Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit having forbidden them to proclaim the message in Asia.
7 Kad su došli do Mizije, htjedoše u Bitiniju, ali im ne dopusti Duh Isusov.
When they got as far as Mysia, they attempted to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit it;
8 Onda prođoše Miziju i siđoše u Troadu.
and so they passed by Mysia and went on down to Troas.
9 Noću je Pavao imao viđenje: Makedonac neki stajaše i zaklinjaše ga: “Prijeđi u Makedoniju i pomozi nam!”
Here a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia, entreating him and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us!"
10 Nakon viđenja nastojasmo odmah otputovati u Makedoniju, uvjereni da nas Bog zove navješćivati im evanđelje.
So when he had seen the vision, we sought at once to go forth into Macedonia, because we concluded that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Otplovismo iz Troade i zaputismo se ravno u Samotraku pa sutradan u Neapol,
So we set sail from Troas and ran a straight course to Samothrace. The next day we arrived in Neapolis,
12 a odande u naseobinu Filipe - grad prvog dijela Makedonije. U tom se gradu zadržasmo nekoliko dana.
and thence came to Philippi, a city of Macedonia, the fore most in its district, a Roman colony. There we stayed for some time.
13 U dan subotni iziđosmo izvan gradskih vrata k rijeci, gdje smo mislili da će biti bogomolja. Sjedosmo i stadosmo govoriti okupljenim ženama.
On the Sabbath Day we went outside the city gate, to a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and talked to the women who had gathered there.
14 Slušala je tako i neka bogobojazna žena imenom Lidija, prodavačica grimiza iz grada Tijatire. Gospodin joj otvori srce, te ona prihvati što je Pavao govorio.
Among them was a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, who belonged to the town of Thyatira. She, since she was a worshiper of God, listened to us, and the Lord opened her heart to attend to what Paul said.
15 Pošto se pak krsti ona i njezin dom, zamoli: “Ako smatrate da sam vjerna Gospodinu, uđite u moj dom i ostanite u njemu.” I prisili nas.
When she was baptized, and her household, she urged us, saying, "If in your judgment I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house." And she compelled us to come.
16 Jednom nas na putu u bogomolju sretne neka ropkinja koja je imala duha vračarskoga i gatajući donosila veliku dobit svojim gospodarima.
Now as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain slave girl met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who brought her masters great gain by fortune-telling.
17 Pošla je za Pavlom i za nama te vikala: “Ovi su ljudi sluge Boga Svevišnjega; navješćuju vam put spasenja.”
She used to follow after Paul and us, crying out again and again, "These men are servants of the most high God, who proclaimed to you the way of salvation."
18 To je činila mnogo dana. Pavlu to napokon dodija pa se okrenu i reče duhu: “Zapovijedam ti u ime Isusa Krista: iziđi iz nje!” I iziđe toga časa.
She persisted in this for many days, until Paul, worn out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her." In that very hour it came out of her.
19 Kad njezini gospodari vidješe da im nesta nade u dobit, pograbiše Pavla i Silu te ih odvukoše na trg pred glavare.
But when her owners saw that their hopes of gain were gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them before the magistrates, into the market-place.
20 Privedoše ih pretorima i rekoše: “Ovi ljudi uznemiruju naš grad. Židovi su
Then they brought them before the praetors, saying. "These fellows are Jews, who are making a great disturbance in our city.
21 te šire običaje kojih mi Rimljani ne smijemo ni prihvatiti ni držati.”
"They are teaching customs which it is not lawful for us as Romans to adopt or practise."
22 Nato svjetina nahrupi na njih, a pretori trgoše s njih odijelo i zapovjediše da se išibaju.
The crowd, too, rose up together against them, and the praetors, after having them stripped, and after ordering them to be flogged,
23 Pošto ih izudaraše, bace ih u tamnicu i zapovjede tamničaru da ih pomno čuva.
had many lashes inflicted upon them, and put them in prison, with a charge to the jailer to keep them safe.
24 Primivši takvu zapovijed, uze ih on i baci u nutarnju tamnicu, a noge im stavi u klade.
On receiving so strict an order he cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Oko ponoći su Pavao i Sila molili pjevajući hvalu Bogu, a uznici ih slušali.
But at midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
26 Odjednom nasta potres velik te se poljuljaše temelji zatvora, umah se otvoriše sva vrata, i svima spadoše okovi.
suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison-house were shaken; and instantly all the doors were opened, and every one’s chains fell off.
27 Tamničar se prenu oda sna pa kad ugleda tamnička vrata otvorena, trgnu mač i samo što se ne ubi misleći da su uznici pobjegli.
The jailer, roused from sleep, and seeing the doors wide open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he thought that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Ali Pavao povika iza glasa: “Ne čini sebi nikakva zla! Svi smo ovdje!”
But Paul shouted loudly to him. "Do yourself no harm; for we are all here!"
29 Onaj nato zaiska svjetlo, uleti i dršćući baci se pred Pavla i Silu;
So he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 izvede ih i upita: “Gospodo, što mi je činiti da se spasim?”
and brought them out, saying, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31 Oni će mu: “Vjeruj u Gospodina Isusa i spasit ćeš se - ti i dom tvoj!”
"Believe on the Lord Jesus," they answered, "and you will be saved, you and all your household."
32 Onda navijestiše riječ Gospodnju njemu i svima u domu njegovu.
Then they spoke the message of the Lord to him, as well as to all who were in his house.
33 Te iste noćne ure uze ih, opra im rane pa se odmah krsti - on i svi njegovi.
And he took them, the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, he and all his.
34 Onda ih uvede u dom, prostre stol te se zajedno sa svim domom obradova što je povjerovao Bogu.
And after bringing them up into his house, he set food before them, overjoyed with all his household in having believed in God.
35 Kad se razdani, poslaše pretori liktore s porukom: “Pusti te ljude!”
But in the morning the praetors sent their lictors with the order, "Let these men go."
36 Tamničar to priopći Pavlu: “Pretori, reče, poručiše da vas pustim. Iziđite dakle sad i pođite u miru!”
The jailer reported the words to Paul, saying. "The praetors have sent to release you; so come out, and go in peace."
37 Nato im Pavao odvrati: “Javno su nas neosuđene išibali, nas rimske građane, i bacili u tamnicu. A sada da nas potajno izbace? Nipošto, nego neka oni sami dođu i izvedu nas!”
But Paul said. "They have flogged us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Roman citizens; and have thrown us into prison. Are they now going to get rid of us secretly? No, indeed! Let them come here, themselves and take us out."
38 Liktori to jave pretorima. Oni su se uplašili kada doznaše da su Rimljani.
The lictors reported these words to the praetors, who were frightened when they heard that they were Romans.
39 Zato dođu da ih nagovore pa ih izvedu i zamole da odu iz grada.
So they came and conciliated them, and after taking them out of prison, begged them to leave the town.
40 Izišavši iz tamnice, oni pođu k Lidiji, pogledaju i obodre braću pa odu.
So Paul and Silas came out of the prison, and went to Lydia’s house; and after they had seen the brethren and encouraged them, they left Philippi.
