Djela apostolska 18
1 Nakon toga napusti Pavao Atenu i ode u Korint.
After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
2 Ondje nađe nekog Židova imenom Akvilu, rodom iz Ponta, koji netom bijaše došao iz Italije sa svojom ženom Priscilom jer je Klaudije naredio da svi Židovi napuste Rim. Pohodio ih je
Here he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife, Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome.
3 i, kako bijahu istog zanimanja, ostao kod njih i radio. Po zanimanju bijahu šatorari.
Paul came to them, and because he was of the same trade with them, he lodged with them, and worked with them - for by trade they were tentmakers.
4 Svake je pak subote raspravljao u sinagogi i uvjeravao Židove i Grke.
Every Sabbath he used to preach in the synagogue, and tried to persuade both Jews and Greeks.
5 Kad iz Makedonije pristigoše Sila i Timotej, Pavao se potpuno posveti Riječi svjedočeći Židovima da Isus jest Krist.
And when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was engrossed in his message, earnestly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
6 Kako se pak oni stadoše protiviti i huliti, otrese on haljine i reče im: “Krv vaša na glave vaše! Ja sam nedužan. Od sada idem k poganima.”
But as they opposed him and abused him, he shook out his garments in protest, and said. "Your blood be upon your own hands. I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
7 I ode odande te prijeđe u kuću nekoga bogobojazna čovjeka, imenom Ticija Justa, čija kuća bijaše tik do sinagoge.
So he left the place, and went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house adjoined the synagogue.
8 A nadstojnik sinagoge Krisp povjerova Gospodinu zajedno sa svim svojim domom. I mnogi od Korinćana koji su to slušali povjerovaše i pokrstiše se.
And Crispus, the warden of the synagogue, believed on the Lord, with all his household; and many of the Corinthians from time to time listened, believed, and were baptized.
9 Jedne noći reče Gospodin Pavlu u viđenju: “Ne boj se, nego govori i ne daj se ušutkati!
And the Lord said to Paul in a vision, by night. "Have no fear; go on speaking, and do not keep silent;
10 Ta ja sam s tobom i nitko se neće usuditi da ti naudi. Jer mnogo je naroda mojega u ovome gradu.”
"for I am with you, and no one shall set upon you to injure you; for I have very many people in this city."
11 Tako se zadrža godinu i šest mjeseci naučavajući među njima riječ Božju.
So he lived there a year and six months and continued to teach them the word of God.
12 Ali dok je Galion bio prokonzul Ahaje, navališe Židovi jednodušno na Pavla, dovukoše ga u sudnicu
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose against Paul, and brought him before the tribunal.
13 i rekoše: “Ovaj potiče ljude da protiv zakona štuju Boga.”
"This fellow," they said, "is persuading men to offer unlawful worship to God."
14 Pavao samo što nije zaustio kadli Galion reče Židovima: “Da je posrijedi zločin kakav ili nedjelo opako, saslušao bih vas, Židovi, kako je pravo;
Paul was about to open his mouth, when Gallio said to the Jews. "If it had been some misdemeanor or wicked villainy, it would have been within reason for me to listen to you Jews;
15 je li pak raspra o riječi i imenima i o nekom vašem zakonu, proviđajte sami; u tome ja ne želim biti sudac.”
but as these are merely questions about words and names and your own law, you yourselves must see to it. I am not willing to be a judge of these matters."
16 I otpremi ih iz sudnice.
And he drove them from the tribunal.
17 A oni svi pograbiše nadstojnika sinagoge Sostena i stadoše ga šibati pred sudnicom. Galion nije za to ništa mario.
Then they all laid hold of Sosthenes, the warden of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal; but Gallio took no notice.
18 Pavao osta još podosta vremena, a onda se oprosti s braćom pa pošto se u Kenhreji ošiša jer imaše zavjet, zaplovi prema Siriji, a s njime i Priscila i Akvila.
And Paul after remaining in Corinth some time longer, took leave of the brothers, and sailed away to Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. As Paul was under a vow, he had his head shaved at Cenchrea.
19 Stigoše u Efez. Tu ih ostavi, a on uđe u sinagogu i stade raspravljati sa Židovima.
When they came to Ephesus he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Oni ga zamole da ostanu duže vremena, ali on ne pristade,
When they begged him to stay longer, he would not consent,
21 nego se oprosti: “Još ću se, reče, vratiti k vama, bude li Božja volja.” I otplovi iz Efeza.
but said, as he took leave of them, "I will return again to you, if God will."
22 Kad stiže u Cezareju, uziđe pozdraviti Crkvu pa onda siđe u Antiohiju.
Then, setting sail from Ephesus, he landed at Caesarea; he went up to Jerusalem and saluted the church, and came down to Antioch.
23 Neko se vrijeme zadrža pa onda ode i zareda galacijskim područjem i Frigijom utvrđujući sve učenike.
After spending some time there, he set out and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, and strengthened all the disciples.
24 Uto neki Židov imenom Apolon, rodom Aleksandrijac, čovjek rječit i upućen u Pisma, stiže u Efez.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, a learned man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 On bijaše upućen u Put Gospodnji pa je vatrene duše govorio i naučavao pomno o Isusu, premda je znao samo za Ivanovo krštenje.
He had been instructed in the ways of the Lord, and being full of zeal, he used to speak and to teach accurately the facts about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26 Poče on tako smjelo govoriti u sinagogi. Čuše ga Priscila i Akvila, uzeše ga k sebi i pomnije mu izložiše Put Božji.
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him they took him home and explained to him more accurately the way of God.
27 A kad je nakanio otići u Ahaju, ohrabriše ga braća i napisaše učenicima da ga prime. Kad je stigao onamo, uvelike je koristio vjernicima po milosti
When he wished to cross over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples in Corinth to receive him. On his arrival he mightily helped those who through grace had believed,
28 jer je snažno pobijao Židove javno pokazujući iz Pisama da Isus jest Krist.
for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public argument, proving to them from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.
