Djela apostolska 20
1 Kad se sleže metež, posla Pavao po učenike, ohrabri ih, pozdravi i otputova u Makedoniju.
And after the noise had come to an end, Paul, having sent for the disciples and given them comfort, went away from them to Macedonia.
2 Prešavši one krajeve, hrabreći braću besjedom mnogom, dođe u Grčku
And when he had gone through those parts and given them much teaching, he came into Greece.
3 i provede ondje tri mjeseca. Upravo kad je htio otploviti u Siriju, postaviše mu Židovi zasjedu pa odluči vratiti se preko Makedonije.
And when he had been there three months, because the Jews had made a secret design against him when he was about to take ship for Syria, he made a decision to go back through Macedonia.
4 Pratili su ga: Sopater Pirov, Berejac, Solunjani Aristarh i Sekund, Gaj Derbanin, Timotej i Azijci Tihik i Trofim.
And Sopater of Beroea, the son of Pyrrhus, and Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia, went with him as far as Asia.
5 Oni odoše prije te nas dočekaše u Troadi.
But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.
6 Mi pak nakon dana Beskvasnih kruhova otplovismo iz Filipa i nakon pet dana dođosmo k njima u Troadu gdje proboravismo sedam dana.
And we went away from Philippi by ship after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days; and we were there for seven days.
7 U prvi dan tjedna, kad se sabrasmo lomiti kruh, Pavao im govoraše i kako je sutradan kanio otputovati, probesjedi sve do ponoći.
And on the first day of the week, when we had come together for the holy meal, Paul gave them a talk, for it was his purpose to go away on the day after; and he went on talking till after the middle of the night.
8 U gornjoj sobi gdje smo se sabrali bijaše dosta svjetiljaka.
And there were a number of lights in the room where we had come together.
9 Na prozoru je sjedio neki mladić imenom Eutih. Kako je Pavao dulje govorio, utone on u dubok san. Svladan snom, pade s trećeg kata dolje. Digoše ga mrtva.
And a certain young man named Eutychus, who was seated in the window, went into a deep sleep; and while Paul went on talking, being overcome by sleep, he had a fall from the third floor, and was taken up dead.
10 Pavao siđe, nadnese se nad dječaka, obujmi ga i reče: “Ne uznemirujte se! Duša je još u njemu!”
And Paul went down and, falling on him, took him in his arms and said, Do not be troubled, for his life is in him.
11 Zatim se pope pa pošto razlomi kruh i blagova, dugo je još zborio, sve do zore. Tad otputova.
And when he had gone up, and had taken the broken bread, he went on talking to them for a long time, even till dawn, and then he went away.
12 Mladića odvedoše živa, neizmjerno utješeni.
And they took the boy in, living, and were greatly comforted.
13 Mi pak pođosmo naprijed lađom: otplovismo u As. Odande smo imali povesti Pavla - tako je odredio kad se spremao poći pješice.
But we, going before him by ship, went to Assos with the purpose of taking Paul in there: for so he had given orders, because he himself was coming by land.
14 Kad nam se u Asu pridruži, uzesmo ga i stigosmo u Mitilenu.
And when he came up with us at Assos, we took him in the ship and went on to Mitylene.
15 Odande odjedrismo sutradan i stigosmo nadomak Hija, prekosutra krenusmo u Sam, a idućeg dana stigosmo u Milet.
And going from there by sea, we came on the day after opposite Chios, and touching at Samos on the day after that, we came on the third day to Miletus.
16 Jer Pavao je odlučio mimoići Efez da se ne bi zadržao u Aziji: žurio se da, uzmogne li, na dan Pedesetnice bude u Jeruzalemu.
For Paul's purpose was to go past Ephesus, so that he might not be kept in Asia; for he was going quickly, in order, if possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 Ipak iz Mileta posla u Efez po starješine Crkve.
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the rulers of the church.
18 Kad stigoše, reče im: “Vi znate kako sam se sve vrijeme, od prvog dana kada stupih u Aziju, ponašao među vama:
And when they had come, he said to them, You yourselves have seen what my life has been like all the time from the day when I first came into Asia,
19 služio sam Gospodinu sa svom poniznošću u suzama i kušnjama koje me zadesiše zbog zasjeda židovskih;
Doing the Lord's work without pride, through all the sorrow and troubles which came on me because of the evil designs of the Jews:
20 ništa korisno nisam propustio navijestiti vam i naučiti vas - javno i po kućama;
And how I kept back nothing which might be of profit to you, teaching you publicly and privately,
21 upozoravao sam Židove i Grke da se obrate k Bogu i da vjeruju u Gospodina našega Isusa.”
Preaching to Jews and to Greeks the need for a turning of the heart to God, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
22 “A sad, evo, okovan Duhom idem u Jeruzalem. Što će me u njemu zadesiti, ne znam,
And now, as you see, I am going to Jerusalem, a prisoner in spirit, having no knowledge of what will come to me there:
23 osim što mi Duh Sveti u svakom gradu jamči da me čekaju okovi i nevolje.
Only that the Holy Spirit makes clear to me in every town that prison and pains are waiting for me.
24 Ali ni najmanje mi nije do života, samo da dovršim trku svoju i službu koju primih od Gospodina Isusa: svjedočiti za evanđelje milosti Božje.”
But I put no value on my life, if only at the end of it I may see the work complete which was given to me by the Lord Jesus, to be a witness of the good news of the grace of God.
25 “I sad, evo, znam: nećete više vidjeti lica moga, svi vi posred kojih prođoh propovijedajući Kraljevstvo.
And now I am conscious that you, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom, will not see my face again.
26 Zato vam u ovaj dan današnji jamčim: čist sam od krvi sviju
And so I say to you this day that I am clean from the blood of all men.
27 jer nisam propustio navijestiti vam ništa od svega nauma Božjega.”
For I have not kept back from you anything of the purpose of God.
28 “Pazite na sebe i na sve stado u kojem vas Duh Sveti postavi nadglednicima, da pasete Crkvu Božju koju steče krvlju svojom.”
Give attention to yourselves, and to all the flock which the Holy Spirit has given into your care, to give food to the church of God, for which he gave his blood.
29 “Ja znam da će nakon mog odlaska među vas uljesti vuci okrutni koji ne štede stada,
I am conscious that after I am gone, evil wolves will come in among you, doing damage to the flock;
30 a između vas će samih ustati ljudi koji će iskrivljavati nauk da bi odvukli učenike za sobom.
And from among yourselves will come men who will give wrong teaching, turning away the disciples after them.
31 Zato bdijte imajući na pameti da sam tri godine bez prestanka noću i danju suze lijevajući urazumljivao svakoga od vas.”
So keep watch, having in mind that for three years without resting I was teaching every one of you, day and night, with weeping.
32 “I sada vas povjeravam Bogu i Riječi milosti njegove koja je kadra izgraditi vas i dati vam baštinu među svima posvećenima.”
And now, I give you into the care of God and the word of his grace, which is able to make you strong and to give you your heritage among all the saints.
33 “Ni za čijim srebrom, zlatom ili ruhom nisam hlepio.
I have had no desire for any man's silver or gold or clothing.
34 Sami znate: za potrebe moje i onih koji su sa mnom zasluživale su ove ruke.
You yourselves have seen that with these hands I got what was necessary for me and those who were with me.
35 U svemu vam pokazah: tako se trudeći treba se zauzimati za nemoćne i na pameti imati riječi Gospodina Isusa jer on reče: 'Blaženije je davati nego primati.'”
In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.
36 Kada to doreče, klekne te se zajedno sa svima njima pomoli.
And having said these words, he went down on his knees in prayer with them all.
37 Tad svi briznuše u velik plač, obisnuše Pavlu oko vrata i stadoše ga cjelivati,
And they were all weeping, falling on Paul's neck and kissing him,
38 ražalošćeni nadasve riječju koju im reče: da više neće vidjeti lica njegova. Zatim ga ispratiše na lađu.
Being sad most of all because he had said that they would not see his face again. And so they went with him to the ship.
