Djela apostolska 21
1 Pošto se otrgosmo od njih, zaplovismo. Jedreći ravno, stigosmo na Kos, a sutradan na Rod pa odande u Pataru.
After we had torn ourselves away from them, we sailed directly to Cos, and the next day on to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Kad nađosmo lađu za Feniciju, popesmo se i otplovismo.
Finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we boarded it and set sail.
3 Kad bijasmo napomol Cipru, ostavismo ga slijeva jedreći prema Siriji. Pristadosmo u Tiru jer je ondje lađa imala iskrcati tovar.
After sighting Cyprus and passing south of it, we sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre, where the ship was to unload its cargo.
4 Pronađosmo učenike i ostadosmo ondje sedam dana. Oni po Duhu nagovarahu Pavla da ne uzlazi u Jeruzalem.
We sought out the disciples in Tyre and stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they kept telling Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Ali kad nam istekoše dani, ipak otputovasmo. Ispratiše nas svi, sa ženama i djecom, do izvan grada. Na žalu klekosmo i pomolismo se.
But when our time there had ended, we set out on our journey. All the disciples, with their wives and children, accompanied us out of the city and knelt down on the beach to pray with us.
6 Pozdravismo se, popesmo se na lađu, a oni se vratiše kući.
And after we had said our farewells, we went aboard the ship, and they returned home.
7 Tako dovršismo plovidbu. Iz Tira stigosmo u Ptolemaidu. Pozdravili smo braću i ostali jedan dan u njih.
When we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for a day.
8 Sutradan otputovasmo i stigosmo u Cezareju. Uđosmo u kuću Filipa evanđelista, jednog od sedmorice, i ostadosmo kod njega.
Leaving the next day, we went on to Caesarea and stayed at the home of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven.
9 On je imao četiri kćeri djevice koje su prorokovale.
He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
10 Kako smo se zadržali mnogo dana, siđe iz Judeje neki prorok imenom Agab,
After we had been there several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 dođe k nama, uze Pavlov pojas, sveza sebi noge i ruke te reče: “Ovo govori Duh Sveti: Čovjeka čiji je ovo pojas ovako će svezati Židovi u Jeruzalemu i predati u ruke pogana.”
Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and hand him over to the Gentiles.’”
12 Kada smo to čuli, stadosmo mi i mještani zaklinjati Pavla da ne uzlazi u Jeruzalem.
When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Nato on odvrati: “Što plačete i parate mi srce? Ta spreman sam ne samo biti svezan nego i umrijeti u Jeruzalemu za ime Gospodina Isusa.”
Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14 A kako se nije dao nagovoriti, ušutjesmo rekavši: “Gospodnja budi volja!”
When he would not be dissuaded, we fell silent and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15 Nakon tih dana spremismo se i uzađosmo u Jeruzalem.
After these days, we packed up and went on to Jerusalem.
16 S nama pođoše i učenici iz Cezareje pa nas odvedoše k nekomu Mnasonu Cipraninu, starom učeniku, da u njega odsjednemo.
Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us, and they took us to stay at the home of Mnason the Cypriot, an early disciple.
17 Kad stigosmo u Jeruzalem, primiše nas braća radosno.
When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us joyfully.
18 Sutradan ode Pavao zajedno s nama k Jakovu. Nađoše se ondje i sve starješine.
The next day Paul went in with us to see James, and all the elders were present.
19 Pošto ih pozdravi, stade im potanko izlagati što učini Bog među poganima po njegovoj službi.
Paul greeted them and recounted one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Pošto su ga oni poslušali, dadoše slavu Bogu pa mu rekoše: “Vidiš, brate: deseci su tisuća Židova povjerovali i svi su revnitelji Zakona.
When they heard this, they glorified God. Then they said to Paul, “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
21 A o tebi im je dojavljeno da sve Židove koji su među poganima upućuješ na otpad od Mojsija učeći ih da ne obrezuju djece i ne žive po običajima.
But they are under the impression that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe our customs.
22 Što dakle? Čut će svakako da si došao.
What then should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.
23 Učini stoga što ti kažemo. U nas su četiri čovjeka koji imaju zavjet.
Therefore do what we advise you. There are four men with us who have taken a vow.
24 Njih uzmi, s njima se zajedno posveti, plati za njih da se ošišaju pa će svi spoznati da nema ništa od onoga što im je o tebi dojavljeno, nego da si i ti na pravu putu i da opslužuješ Zakon.
Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the law.
25 A što se tiče pogana koji povjerovaše - poslali smo što odlučismo: da se klone mesa žrtvovana idolima, krvi, udavljenoga i bludništva.”
As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality.”
26 Nato Pavao uze one ljude, sutradan se s njima zajedno posveti, uđe u Hram, oglasi svršetak dana posvećenja nakon kojih će se za svakoga od njih prinijeti prinos.
So the next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he entered the temple to give notice of the date when their purification would be complete and the offering would be made for each of them.
27 Kad se upravo navršavalo tih sedam dana, neki ga Židovi iz Azije opaze u Hramu, uzbune sav narod pa podignu na nj ruke
When the seven days were almost over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,
28 vičući: “Izraelci, u pomoć! Evo čovjeka koji sve posvuda poučava protiv naroda, Zakona i ovoga mjesta pa je još i Grke uveo u Hram i oskvrnuo ovo sveto mjesto.”
crying out, “Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches everywhere against our people and against our law and against this place. Furthermore, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”
29 Jer prije su s njime u Gradu vidjeli Trofima Efežanina i mislili da je Pavao njega uveo u Hram.
For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 Sav se grad uskomeša, nasta strka naroda. Pograbe Pavla i odvuku ga izvan Hrama pa odmah pozatvaraju vrata.
The whole city was stirred up, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.
31 Dok su mu o glavi radili, dođe do tisućnika čete glas da je sav Jeruzalem uzavreo.
While they were trying to kill him, the commander of the Roman regiment received a report that all Jerusalem was in turmoil.
32 On odmah uze vojnike i satnike pa otrča dolje k njima. Oni pak kako ugledaše tisućnika i vojnike, prestadoše udarati Pavla.
Immediately he took some soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When the people saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
33 Onda se tisućnik približi, uhvati ga, zapovjedi da ga okuju dvojim verigama pa stade ispitivati tko je i što je učinio.
The commander came up and arrested Paul, ordering that he be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done.
34 Iz svjetine su jedni izvikivali ovo, drugi ono. Kako zbog graje nije mogao saznati ništa pouzdano, zapovjedi da se odvede u vojarnu.
Some in the crowd were shouting one thing, and some another. And since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks.
35 Kad se Pavao pojavi na stubama, morali su ga vojnici nositi zbog silovitosti svjetine.
When Paul reached the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob.
36 Jer mnoštvo je naroda išlo za njima i vikalo: “Smakni ga!”
For the crowd that followed him kept shouting, “Away with him!”
37 Upravo na ulazu u vojarnu reče Pavao tisućniku: “Smijem li nešto reći?” On ga upita: “Zar znaš grčki?
As they were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied.
38 Ti dakle nisi onaj Egipćanin koji je prije nekoliko dana pobunio i u pustinju odveo one četiri tisuće bodežara?”
“Aren’t you the Egyptian who incited a rebellion some time ago and led four thousand members of the ‘Assassins’ into the wilderness?”
39 Pavao odvrati: “Ja sam Židov iz Tarza cilicijskoga, građanin grada znamenitoga. Molim te, dopusti mi progovoriti narodu.”
But Paul answered, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Now I beg you to allow me to speak to the people.”
40 Kad mu on dopusti, Pavao stojeći na stubama mahnu rukom narodu pa kad nasta velika tišina, prozbori hebrejskim jezikom:
Having received permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. A great hush came over the crowd, and he addressed them in Hebrew:
