Djela apostolska 21
1 Pošto se otrgosmo od njih, zaplovismo. Jedreći ravno, stigosmo na Kos, a sutradan na Rod pa odande u Pataru.
When at least we had torn ourselves away, and had set sail, we ran a straight course to Cos, and next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Kad nađosmo lađu za Feniciju, popesmo se i otplovismo.
And when we had found a ship bound for Phoenicia, we went aboard 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 leaving it on the left hand, we sailed for Syria, and put in at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
4 Pronađosmo učenike i ostadosmo ondje sedam dana. Oni po Duhu nagovarahu Pavla da ne uzlazi u Jeruzalem.
We looked up the local disciples and remained there seven days; and these disciples kept telling Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in 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.
When, however, our time was up, we left and started on our journey; and all of them, with wives and children, were escorting us on our way until we were out of the city; then, kneeling down on the beach, we prayed,
6 Pozdravismo se, popesmo se na lađu, a oni se vratiše kući.
and said good-bye, and went on board the ship, while they returned home again.
7 Tako dovršismo plovidbu. Iz Tira stigosmo u Ptolemaidu. Pozdravili smo braću i ostali jedan dan u njih.
And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we reached Ptolemais, and greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
8 Sutradan otputovasmo i stigosmo u Cezareju. Uđosmo u kuću Filipa evanđelista, jednog od sedmorice, i ostadosmo kod njega.
On the morrow we started for Caesarea, where we went into the house of Philip, the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 On je imao četiri kćeri djevice koje su prorokovale.
Now Philip had four unmarried daughters who prophesied,
10 Kako smo se zadržali mnogo dana, siđe iz Judeje neki prorok imenom Agab,
and while we remained there many 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.”
He came to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, saying, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘so will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the owner of this girdle, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’"
12 Kada smo to čuli, stadosmo mi i mještani zaklinjati Pavla da ne uzlazi u Jeruzalem.
As soon as we heard these words, both we and those who were standing near entreated 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.”
"What do you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief?" answered Paul. "For I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus."
14 A kako se nije dao nagovoriti, ušutjesmo rekavši: “Gospodnja budi volja!”
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The will of the Lord be done."
15 Nakon tih dana spremismo se i uzađosmo u Jeruzalem.
A few days after this we took up our luggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16 S nama pođoše i učenici iz Cezareje pa nas odvedoše k nekomu Mnasonu Cipraninu, starom učeniku, da u njega odsjednemo.
And some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us. They led us to the house of Mnason, a Cypriote, a disciple of long standing, with whom we were to lodge.
17 Kad stigosmo u Jeruzalem, primiše nas braća radosno.
At length we reached Jerusalem, and the brothers there received us gladly.
18 Sutradan ode Pavao zajedno s nama k Jakovu. Nađoše se ondje i sve starješine.
On the following day we went with Paul to call on James, and all the elders were present.
19 Pošto ih pozdravi, stade im potanko izlagati što učini Bog među poganima po njegovoj službi.
After saluting them Paul rehearsed, one by one, the things that God had done among the Gentiles by 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.
And they, when they heard it, glorified God, and said to him. "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews, of those who have believed, and they are all 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.
"Now what they have been told about you, again and again, is that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, and not to circumcise their children, nor to follow the old customs.
22 Što dakle? Čut će svakako da si došao.
"What then ought to be done? They will certainly hear that you are come.
23 Učini stoga što ti kažemo. U nas su četiri čovjeka koji imaju zavjet.
"So do this that we tell you.
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.
"We have four men here under a vow; associate yourself with them, purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they may have their heads shaved; then every one will know that there is no truth in the rumors that they have heard about you; but that you yourself walk orderly obeying 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 wrote giving judgment that they should abstain from anything sacrificed to an idol, from blood, from what is strangled, and from fornication."
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.
Then Paul took the men, and after purifying himself with them next day, went into the temple to declare the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one 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
But when the seven days were almost over, the Asiatic Jews caught sight of him in the temple, and began to stir up all the crowd, and laid hands on him, shouting.
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.”
"Men of Israel, help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the people, and the Law, and this place. And he has actually brought Gentiles even into the temple, and has desecrated the 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 formerly seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and supposed 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 thrown into uproar. The mob surged together, seized Paul, and began to drag him outside the temple. Whereupon the doors were at once shut.
31 Dok su mu o glavi radili, dođe do tisućnika čete glas da je sav Jeruzalem uzavreo.
While they were attempting to kill him, news came to the tribune commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 On odmah uze vojnike i satnike pa otrča dolje k njima. Oni pak kako ugledaše tisućnika i vojnike, prestadoše udarati Pavla.
At once he took soldiers and centurions, and rushed down upon them. When they saw the tribune and the troops, they left off beating Paul.
33 Onda se tisućnik približi, uhvati ga, zapovjedi da ga okuju dvojim verigama pa stade ispitivati tko je i što je učinio.
Then the tribune came up and seized him, and ordered that he be bound with two chains. "Who is he?" he began asking, "and what has he 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 among the crowd kept shouting one thing, some another; and when the tribune could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered Paul into the barracks.
35 Kad se Pavao pojavi na stubama, morali su ga vojnici nositi zbog silovitosti svjetine.
When was going up 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 whole mass of the people were following him, shouting, "Away with him!"
37 Upravo na ulazu u vojarnu reče Pavao tisućniku: “Smijem li nešto reći?” On ga upita: “Zar znaš grčki?
Just as he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the tribune, "May I speak to you?"
38 Ti dakle nisi onaj Egipćanin koji je prije nekoliko dana pobunio i u pustinju odveo one četiri tisuće bodežara?”
"Do you know Greek?" said the tribune; "Are you not, then, the Egyptian who in days gone by stirred up to sedition, and let into the wilderness the four thousand cutthroats?"
39 Pavao odvrati: “Ja sam Židov iz Tarza cilicijskoga, građanin grada znamenitoga. Molim te, dopusti mi progovoriti narodu.”
"I am a Jew," answered Paul, "a native of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I pray you, give me permission 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:
So when he had given leave, Paul stood on the stairs, beckoning with his hands to the people. There came a great hush, and he spoke to them as follows, in Hebrew.
