Djela apostolska 25
1 Fest dakle tri dana nakon dolaska u provinciju uziđe iz Cezareje u Jeruzalem.
When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
2 Veliki mu svećenici i prvaci židovski izniješe tužbu protiv Pavla te ga zaklinjahu
Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
3 ištući milost protiv Pavla: da ga pošalje u Jeruzalem. Jer spremali su zasjedu da ga putom smaknu.
And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
4 Ali Fest odvrati kako Pavao treba da ostane zatvoren u Cezareji, a i on da će uskoro onamo.
But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
5 “Ovlašteni dakle među vama, reče, neka sa mnom siđu pa ako na tom čovjeku ima krivnje, neka ga tuže.”
Let them therefore, saide he, which among you are able, come downe with vs: and if there be any wickednes in the man, let them accuse him.
6 Pošto se u njih zadrži najviše osam ili deset dana, siđe u Cezareju. Sutradan sjede na sudačku stolicu i zapovjedi da se dovede Pavao.
Now when he had taried among them no more then ten dayes, hee went downe to Caesarea, and the next day sate in the iudgement seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
7 Kad se on pojavi, okružiše ga Židovi koji su sišli iz Jeruzalema i izniješe protiv njega mnoge i teške optužbe kojih ne mogahu dokazati.
And when hee was come, the Iewes which were come from Hierusalem, stoode about him and layd many and grieuous complaints against Paul, whereof they could make no plaine proofe,
8 Pavao se branio: “Ničim se nisam ogriješio ni o židovski Zakon, ni o Hram, ni o cara.”
Forasmuch as he answered, that he had neither offended any thing against the lawe of the Iewes, neither against ye temple, nor against Caesar.
9 Nato Fest hoteći ugoditi Židovima, odvrati Pavlu: “Hoćeš li u Jeruzalem da ti se ondje za to sudi preda mnom?”
Yet Festus willing to get fauour of the Iewes, answered Paul and saide, Wilt thou goe vp to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things before mee?
10 A Pavao će: “Stojim pred sudom carevim, gdje treba da mi se sudi. Židovima ništa ne skrivih, kao što i ti veoma dobro znaš.
Then said Paul, I stand at Caesars iudgment seate, where I ought to be iudged: to the Iewes I haue done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
11 Ako sam pak doista što skrivio i učinio štogod što zavređuje smrt, ne izmičem smrti; ako li pak ne stoji ono za što me ovi tuže, nitko me ne može njima izručiti. Na cara se prizivljem!”
For if I haue done wrong, or committed any thing worthie of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man, to pleasure them, can deliuer me to them: I appeale vnto Caesar.
12 Tada se Fest posavjetova s vijećem pa odgovori: “Na cara si se prizvao, pred cara ćeš ići!”
Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
13 Nekoliko dana poslije dođu kralj Agripa i Berenika u Cezareju da pozdrave Festa.
And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
14 Kako se ondje zadržaše nekoliko dana, izloži Fest kralju to o Pavlu: “Ima neki čovjek, reče, što ga je Feliks ostavio uznikom.
And when they had remained there many dayes, Festus declared Pauls cause vnto the King, saying, There is a certaine man left in prison by Felix,
15 Kad bijah u Jeruzalemu, izniješe veliki svećenici i starješine protiv njega tužbu i zatražiše osudu.
Of whom when I came to Hierusalem, the high Priestes and Elders of the Iewes informed me, and desired to haue iudgement against him.
16 Odgovorih im da u Rimljana nije običaj izručivati kojega čovjeka prije negoli se, optužen, suoči s tužiteljima i dobije prigodu da se brani od optužbe.
To whome I answered, that it is not the maner of the Romanes for fauour to deliuer any man to the death, before that hee which is accused, haue the accusers before him, and haue place to defend himselfe, concerning the crime.
17 Pošto zajedno dođosmo ovamo, bez ikakva odgađanja sjedoh ja sutradan na sudačku stolicu i zapovjedih dovesti toga čovjeka.
Therefore when they were come hither, without delay the day following I sate on the iudgement seate, and commanded the man to be brought foorth.
18 Tužitelji ga okružiše, ali ne izniješe tužbe ni za jedno od zlodjela koja sam ja naslućivao,
Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
19 nego su protiv njega imali nešto prijeporno o svojoj vjeri i o nekom Isusu koji je umro, a Pavao tvrdi da je živ.
But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
20 Ne snalazeći se u takvoj raspravi, upitah bi li htio u Jeruzalem da mu se ondje za to sudi.
And because I doubted of such maner of question, I asked him whether he would goe to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things.
21 Budući da se Pavao prizivom podložio presudi njegova Veličanstva, zapovjedih da ga čuvaju dok ga ne pošaljem caru.”
But because he appealed to be reserued to the examination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I mght send him to Cesar.
22 Na to će Agripa Festu: “Htio bih i ja čuti toga čovjeka.” “Sutra ćeš ga, reče, čuti.”
Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
23 Sutradan dakle dođu Agripa i Berenika s velikim sjajem te uđu u dvoranu zajedno s tisućnicima i najuglednijim gradskim muževima. Kad na zapovijed Festovu dovedu Pavla,
And on the morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with great pompe, and were entred into the Common hall with the chiefe captaines and chiefe men of the citie, at Festus commandement Paul was brought forth.
24 reče Fest: “Agripa, kralju, i vi svi ovdje s nama nazočni, gledajte ovoga čovjeka! Zbog njega me sav narod židovski salijetao i u Jeruzalemu i ovdje vičući da on ne smije više živjeti.
And Festus sayd, King Agrippa, and all men which are present with vs, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Iewes haue called vpon me, both at Hierusalem, and here, crying, that he ought not to liue any longer.
25 Ali ja nađoh da nije učinio ništa čime bi zaslužio smrt pa kad se on sam prizvao na njegovo Veličanstvo, odlučih poslati mu ga.
Yet haue I found nothing worthy of death, that he hath committed: neuertheles, seeing that he hath appealed to Augustus, I haue determined to send him.
26 Ja nemam ništa pouzdano o njemu napisati Gospodaru. Zato ga izvedoh pred vas, ponajpače preda te, kralju Agripa, da bih nakon ove istrage imao što napisati.
Of whome I haue no certaine thing to write vnto my Lord: wherefore I haue brought him forth vnto you, and specially vnto thee, King Agrippa, that after examination had, I might haue somewhat to write.
27 Čini mi se doista besmislenim poslati uznika, a ne naznačiti optužbu protiv njega.”
For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
