Djela apostolska 19
1 Dok je Apolon bio u Korintu, Pavao, pošto prođe gornje krajeve, dođe u Efez, nađe neke učenike
It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain talmidim.
2 pa ih upita: “Jeste li primili Duha Svetoga kad ste povjerovali?” Oni će mu: “Ta ni čuli nismo da ima Duh Sveti.”
He said to them, "Did you receive the Ruach ha-Kodesh when you believed?" They said to him, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Ruach ha-Kodesh."
3 Nato će on: “Kako ste onda kršteni?” “Krštenjem Ivanovim”, odvrate oni.
He said, "Into what then were you immersed?" They said, "Into John's immersion."
4 Nato će Pavao: “Ivan je krstio krštenjem obraćenja govoreći narodu da vjeruje u Onoga koji za njim dolazi, to jest u Isusa.”
Paul said, "John indeed immersed with the immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Yeshua."
5 Čuvši to, krste se u ime Gospodina Isusa,
When they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
6 pa kad Pavao položi na njih ruke, dođe Duh Sveti na njih te stanu govoriti drugim jezicima i prorokovati.
When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Ruach ha-Kodesh came on them, and they spoke with other tongues and prophesied.
7 Bijaše u svemu dvanaestak muževa.
They were about twelve men in all.
8 Onda Pavao uđe u sinagogu te je tri mjeseca hrabro raspravljao i uvjeravao o kraljevstvu Božjem.
He entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning the Kingdom of God.
9 Ali kako neki, okorjeli i nepokorni, ocrnjivahu ovaj Put pred mnoštvom, odstupi od njih, odvoji učenike i danomice raspravljaše u školi nekog Tirana.
But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the crowd, he departed from them, and separated the talmidim, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
10 Trajalo je to dvije godine, tako da su svi azijski žitelji, Židovi i Grci, čuli riječ Božju.
This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Yeshua, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Bog je pak činio čudesa nesvakidašnja po rukama Pavlovima
God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 tako da bi na bolesnike stavljali rupce ili rublje s Pavlova tijela pa bi s njih nestajalo bolesti i zli duhovi iz njih izlazili.
so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out.
13 Zato i neki Židovi zaklinjaoci-potukači pokušaše zazvati ime Gospodina Isusa nad one koji imahu zle duhove. Govorili su: “Zaklinjem vas Isusom koga Pavao propovijeda.”
But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Yeshua, saying, "I adjure you by Yeshua whom Paul preaches."
14 To činjaše sedam sinova nekog Skeve, židovskoga velikog svećenika.
There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish cohen hagadol, who did this.
15 Zli im duh odvrati: “Isusa poznajem i Pavla znam, ali tko ste vi?”
The evil spirit answered, "Yeshua I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?"
16 I čovjek u kome bijaše zli duh, nasrnu na njih i nadjača ih te oni goli i izranjeni pobjegoše iz one kuće.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was, having leapt on them, having overpowered them all, prevailed against them so that they fled from that house naked and wounded.
17 Doznaše to svi žitelji efeški, Židovi i Grci, pa ih sve obuze strah te se stade veličati ime Gospodina Isusa.
This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Yeshua was magnified.
18 Mnogi pak od onih koji su povjerovali dolazili su ispovijedati i očitovati svoja djela.
Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.
19 I podosta onih koji su se bavili praznovjerjem donosili su knjige i spaljivali ih pred svima. Procijeniše ih te nađoše da vrijede pedeset tisuća srebrnjaka.
Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 TAko se snagom Gospodnjom Riječ širila i jačala.
So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
21 Pošto se to ispuni, naumi Pavao preko Makedonije i Ahaje otići u Jeruzalem te reče: “Pošto budem ondje, trebat će da i Rim vidim.”
Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."
22 Onda posla u Makedoniju dvojicu svojih poslužitelja, Timoteja i Erasta, a on provede još neko vrijeme u Aziji.
Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
23 Nekako u ono doba nasta nemalena pobuna protiv ovog Puta.
About that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.
24 Neki srebrar, imenom Demetrije, izrađivao je srebrne hramiće Artemidine i namicao obrtnicima nemalu dobit.
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
25 Skupi on njih i sve koji su se bavili takvim poslom te im reče: “Ljudi, vi znate, u ovom je umijeću naše blagostanje.
whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, "Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
26 A vidite i čujete da je taj Pavao ne samo u Efezu nego gotovo i u svoj Aziji uvjerio i preokrenuo poveliko mnoštvo govoreći da nema bogova rukama izdjeljanih.
You see and hear, that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands.
27 Tako prijeti opasnost ne samo da na zao glas dođe naše zanimanje, nego i to da se ništa neće držati do hrama velike božice Artemide te će nestati veličanstva one koju štuje sva Azija i sav svijet.”
Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worships."
28 Čuvši to, razgnjeve se pa poviču: “Velika je Artemida efeška!”
When they heard this they were filled with anger, and began to shout, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
29 Sav se grad uskomeša; jednodušno nahrupe u kazalište vukući sa sobom Makedonce Gaja i Aristarha, suputnike Pavlove.
The city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's companions in travel.
30 Kad je Pavao htio među narod, ne dopustiše mu učenici.
When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the talmidim did not allow him.
31 Čak i neki azijarsi, njegovi prijatelji, poslaše k njemu i zamoliše da ne dolazi u kazalište.
And also some of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to venture into the theater.
32 Jedni su izvikivali jedno, drugi drugo jer je skup bio uskomešan te mnogi nisu ni znali zašto su se strčali.
Some therefore shouted one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them did not know why they had come together.
33 Neki iz svjetine uputiše nekog Aleksandra jer su ga Židovi gurali naprijed. Aleksandar pak mahnu rukom i htjede se obraniti pred narodom.
They brought Alexander out of the crowd, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
34 Ali kada doznaše da je Židov, udarahu gotovo dva sata svi u jedan glas: “Velika je Artemida efeška!”
But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours shouted, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
35 Onda tajnik umiri svjetinu pa reče: “Efežani! Tko to od ljudi ne zna da je grad Efez čuvar hrama velike Artemide i kipa s neba palog?
When the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "You men of Ephesus, is there anyone who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
36 Budući dakle da je to neporecivo, valja da budete mirni te ništa brzopleto ne činite.
Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.
37 Doveli ste ove ljude, a nisu ni svetokradice ni hulitelji naše božice.
For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
38 Ako pak Demetrije i njegovi obrtnici imaju protiv koga kakvu tužbu, sudovi se sastaju, a tu su i prokonzuli. Neka se tuže!
If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
39 Ištete li pak što drugo, u zakonitu će se skupu riješiti.
But if you seek anything further, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
40 Ta izlažemo se opasnosti da za ovo današnje budemo optuženi s pobune jer nema nikakva razloga kojim bismo mogli opravdati ovu strku.”
For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day's riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we would not be able to give an account of this commotion."
41 To rekavši, raspusti skup.
When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
