Djela apostolska 20
1 Kad se sleže metež, posla Pavao po učenike, ohrabri ih, pozdravi i otputova u Makedoniju.
But, after the tumult had ceased, Paul, sending for the disciples and exhorting them, took leave, and went forth to be journeying unto Macedonia.
2 Prešavši one krajeve, hrabreći braću besjedom mnogom, dođe u Grčku
Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, 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, spending three months, when a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to sail to Syria, he determined to turn back through Macedonia.
4 Pratili su ga: Sopater Pirov, Berejac, Solunjani Aristarh i Sekund, Gaj Derbanin, Timotej i Azijci Tihik i Trofim.
Now there were accompanying him, Sopater, son of Pyrrhus a Beroean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy; and, of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 Oni odoše prije te nas dočekaše u Troadi.
And, these, came 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, sailed forth, after the days of unleavened bread, from Philippi, and came unto them in Troas in five days, where we tarried 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 of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul went on to discourse with them, being about to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his discourse until midnight.
8 U gornjoj sobi gdje smo se sabrali bijaše dosta svjetiljaka.
Now there were a good many torches in the upper room, where we were gathered 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 there sat, a certain young man by name Eutychus, in the window, who was getting overpowered by a deep sleep; and, while Paul was discoursing yet further, being overpowered by his sleep, he fell, from the third story, down, and was taken up dead.
10 Pavao siđe, nadnese se nad dječaka, obujmi ga i reče: “Ne uznemirujte se! Duša je još u njemu!”
Going down, however, Paul fell upon him, and, embracing him, said—Be not making confusion; for, his soul, is, in him.
11 Zatim se pope pa pošto razlomi kruh i blagova, dugo je još zborio, sve do zore. Tad otputova.
And, going up, and breaking the loaf, and tasting, —for a good while also conversing, until dawn, thus, he departed.
12 Mladića odvedoše živa, neizmjerno utješeni.
And they brought the boy alive, and were comforted beyond measure.
13 Mi pak pođosmo naprijed lađom: otplovismo u As. Odande smo imali povesti Pavla - tako je odredio kad se spremao poći pješice.
And, we, going forward unto the ship, set sail for Assos, from thence being about to take up Paul; for, so, had he arranged, being about, himself, to go on foot.
14 Kad nam se u Asu pridruži, uzesmo ga i stigosmo u Mitilenu.
And, when he fell in with us in Assos, we took him on board, and came into Mitylene;
15 Odande odjedrismo sutradan i stigosmo nadomak Hija, prekosutra krenusmo u Sam, a idućeg dana stigosmo u Milet.
and, from thence sailing away on the morrow, we came over against Chios, and, on the next day, we thrust aside into Samos, and, on the succeeding day, we came into 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 had determined to sail past Ephesus, lest he should happen to lose time in Asia; for he hastened, if it were possible for him, against the day of Pentecost, to arrive, in Jerusalem.
17 Ipak iz Mileta posla u Efez po starješine Crkve.
But, from Miletus, he sent unto Ephesus, and called for the elders of the assembly.
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 were come to him, he said unto them—Ye yourselves, well know, from the first day when I set foot in Asia, in what manner came to be with you all the time,
19 služio sam Gospodinu sa svom poniznošću u suzama i kušnjama koje me zadesiše zbog zasjeda židovskih;
doing service unto the Lord, with all humility and tears, and temptations which befell me through the plots of the Jews:
20 ništa korisno nisam propustio navijestiti vam i naučiti vas - javno i po kućama;
in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;
21 upozoravao sam Židove i Grke da se obrate k Bogu i da vjeruju u Gospodina našega Isusa.”
bearing full witness, both to Jews and to Greeks, as to the repentance due unto God, and as to belief on our Lord Jesus.
22 “A sad, evo, okovan Duhom idem u Jeruzalem. Što će me u njemu zadesiti, ne znam,
And, now, lo! I, bound in my spirit, am journeying unto Jerusalem; the things which therein shall befall me, not knowing, —
23 osim što mi Duh Sveti u svakom gradu jamči da me čekaju okovi i nevolje.
save that, the Holy Spirit, from city to city, doth bear me full witness, saying that, bonds and tribulations, await 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, for no cause whatever, am I making my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full witness as to the good news of the favour of God.
25 “I sad, evo, znam: nećete više vidjeti lica moga, svi vi posred kojih prođoh propovijedajući Kraljevstvo.
And, now, lo! I, know that, no more, shall ye see my face, —ye all, among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom.
26 Zato vam u ovaj dan današnji jamčim: čist sam od krvi sviju
Wherefore I take you to witness, on this very day, that, pure am I from the blood of all;
27 jer nisam propustio navijestiti vam ništa od svega nauma Božjega.”
for I have not shrunk from announcing all the counsel of God unto you.
28 “Pazite na sebe i na sve stado u kojem vas Duh Sveti postavi nadglednicima, da pasete Crkvu Božju koju steče krvlju svojom.”
Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers, —to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.
29 “Ja znam da će nakon mog odlaska među vas uljesti vuci okrutni koji ne štede stada,
I, know, that there will enter, after my departure, grievous wolves into your midst, not sparing the little flock;
30 a između vas će samih ustati ljudi koji će iskrivljavati nauk da bi odvukli učenike za sobom.
and, from among your own selves, will arise men speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.
31 Zato bdijte imajući na pameti da sam tri godine bez prestanka noću i danju suze lijevajući urazumljivao svakoga od vas.”
Wherefore, be on the watch, remembering that, for three years, night and day, I gave myself no rest, with tears, admonishing each one.
32 “I sada vas povjeravam Bogu i Riječi milosti njegove koja je kadra izgraditi vas i dati vam baštinu među svima posvećenima.”
Now, therefore, I commend you unto the Lord, and unto his word of favour, —which is able to build up and give the inheritance among all the hallowed ones.
33 “Ni za čijim srebrom, zlatom ili ruhom nisam hlepio.
The silver or gold or apparel of no one, did I covet:
34 Sami znate: za potrebe moje i onih koji su sa mnom zasluživale su ove ruke.
yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands!
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 gave you to understand, that, thus toiling, it behoves to be helping the weak, also to be keeping in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, that, he himself, said—Happy is it, rather to give than to receive!
36 Kada to doreče, klekne te se zajedno sa svima njima pomoli.
And, these things saying, kneeling down with them all, he prayed.
37 Tad svi briznuše u velik plač, obisnuše Pavlu oko vrata i stadoše ga cjelivati,
And they all wept much, and, falling upon Paul’s neck, they were tenderly kissing him;
38 ražalošćeni nadasve riječju koju im reče: da više neće vidjeti lica njegova. Zatim ga ispratiše na lađu.
being most distressed for the word which he had said, —That, no more, should they, his face, behold. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
