Djela apostolska 16
1 Stiže tako u Derbu i Listru. Ondje, gle, bijaše učenik neki imenom Timotej, sin neke pokrštene Židovke i oca Grka.
He came also to Derbe and Lystra. And look, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who believed; but his father was a Greek.
2 Uživao je dobar glas među braćom u Listri i Ikoniju.
The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
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.
Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they 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.
As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
5 Tako se Crkve učvršćivahu u vjeri i broj im se danomice povećavao.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Prođoše Frigiju i galacijski kraj jer ih je Duh Sveti spriječio propovijedati riječ u Aziji.
When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
7 Kad su došli do Mizije, htjedoše u Bitiniju, ali im ne dopusti Duh Isusov.
When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
8 Onda prođoše Miziju i siđoše u Troadu.
Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Noću je Pavao imao viđenje: Makedonac neki stajaše i zaklinjaše ga: “Prijeđi u Makedoniju i pomozi nam!”
A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging 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.
When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to proclaim the Good News to them.
11 Otplovismo iz Troade i zaputismo se ravno u Samotraku pa sutradan u Neapol,
Then, setting sail from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 a odande u naseobinu Filipe - grad prvog dijela Makedonije. U tom se gradu zadržasmo nekoliko dana.
and from there to Philippi, which is a principle city of that district of Macedonia, a colony. We were staying some days in this city.
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 forth outside of the gate by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.
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.
A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
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 and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay." So she persuaded us.
16 Jednom nas na putu u bogomolju sretne neka ropkinja koja je imala duha vračarskoga i gatajući donosila veliku dobit svojim gospodarima.
It happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of Python met us, who brought her masters much 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 followed Paul and us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim 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 was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out at once.
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 masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
20 Privedoše ih pretorima i rekoše: “Ovi ljudi uznemiruju naš grad. Židovi su
When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
21 te šire običaje kojih mi Rimljani ne smijemo ni prihvatiti ni držati.”
and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."
22 Nato svjetina nahrupi na njih, a pretori trgoše s njih odijelo i zapovjediše da se išibaju.
The crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23 Pošto ih izudaraše, bace ih u tamnicu i zapovjede tamničaru da ih pomno čuva.
When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,
24 Primivši takvu zapovijed, uze ih on i baci u nutarnju tamnicu, a noge im stavi u klade.
who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
25 Oko ponoći su Pavao i Sila molili pjevajući hvalu Bogu, a uznici ih slušali.
But about midnight 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 foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were loosened.
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, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Ali Pavao povika iza glasa: “Ne čini sebi nikakva zla! Svi smo ovdje!”
But Paul shouted loudly, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."
29 Onaj nato zaiska svjetlo, uleti i dršćući baci se pred Pavla i Silu;
He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
30 izvede ih i upita: “Gospodo, što mi je činiti da se spasim?”
and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31 Oni će mu: “Vjeruj u Gospodina Isusa i spasit ćeš se - ti i dom tvoj!”
They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
32 Onda navijestiše riječ Gospodnju njemu i svima u domu njegovu.
They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and 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.
He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
34 Onda ih uvede u dom, prostre stol te se zajedno sa svim domom obradova što je povjerovao Bogu.
He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.
35 Kad se razdani, poslaše pretori liktore s porukom: “Pusti te ljude!”
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, "Let those men go."
36 Tamničar to priopći Pavlu: “Pretori, reče, poručiše da vas pustim. Iziđite dakle sad i pođite u miru!”
The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore 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 to them, "They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison. Do they now release us secretly? No indeed. Let them come themselves and bring us out."
38 Liktori to jave pretorima. Oni su se uplašili kada doznaše da su Rimljani.
The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
39 Zato dođu da ih nagovore pa ih izvedu i zamole da odu iz grada.
and they came and apologized to them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
40 Izišavši iz tamnice, oni pođu k Lidiji, pogledaju i obodre braću pa odu.
They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia's house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
