Djela apostolska 28
1 Jednom spašeni, doznasmo da se otok zove Malta.
And having been saved, we recognized that the island is called Melita.
2 Urođenici nam iskazivahu nesvakidašnje čovjekoljublje. Zapališe krijes i okupiše nas oko njega jer je počela kiša i bilo zima.
And the barbarians extended no small philanthropy to us: for, having kindled a fire, they received us all to it, on account of the recent rain and cold.
3 Pavao nakupi naramak granja i baci na krijes kadli zbog vrućine izađe zmija i pripije mu se za ruku.
And Paul having gathered up a certain bundle of sticks, and placed it on the fire, a viper, having come out from the heat, fastened on his hand.
4 Kad su urođenici vidjeli gdje mu životinja visi o ruci, govorili su među sobom: “Ovaj je čovjek zacijelo ubojica: umakao je moru i Pravda mu ne da živjeti.”
But when the barbarians saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, Surely this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved from the sea, justice did not permit to live.
5 Ali on otrese životinju u vatru i ne bi mu ništa;
Then indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, he suffered no injury:
6 a oni očekivahu da će oteći i umah se srušiti mrtav. Pošto su dugo čekali i vidjeli da mu se ništa neobično nije dogodilo, promijeniše mišljenje te stadoše govoriti da je bog.
and they were looking for him to be about to swell up and suddenly fall down dead. But having looked a long time, and seeing nothing out of place come to him, changing their minds, they said that he was a god.
7 U okolici onoga mjesta bilo je imanje prvaka otoka, imenom Publija. On nas je primio i tri dana uljudno gostio.
But in the regions around about that place there were farms belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius: who, having received us, entertained us courteously three days.
8 A Publijeva je oca uhvatila ognjica i srdobolja pa je ležao. Pavao uđe k njemu, pomoli se, stavi na nj ruke i izliječi ga.
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius was lying prostrate with fevers and dysentery: to whom Paul having come in, and prayed, laying hands on him, healed him.
9 Nakon toga su dolazili i drugi koji na otoku bijahu bolesni te ozdravljali.
And this taking place, the rest also, on the island having diseases, continued to come to him, and be healed;
10 Oni nas mnogim počastima počastiše i na odlasku nam priskrbiše što je potrebno.
who also honored us with many honors; and conferred on us, departing, those things appertaining to use.
11 Nakon tri mjeseca otplovismo aleksandrijskom lađom koja je prezimila na otoku i imala za znak Dioskure.
And after three months we embarked in an Alexandrian ship, having spent the winter in the island, dedicated to the sons of Jupiter.
12 Doplovismo u Sirakuzu i ostadosmo ondje tri dana.
And having disembarked into Syracuse, we remained three days;
13 Odande ploveći uz obalu, stigosmo u Regij. Sutradan okrenu južnjak te za dva dana stigosmo u Puteole.
thence having come circuitously, we arrived into Rhegium. And after one day there being a south wind, we came the second day to Puteoli,
14 Ondje nađosmo braću koja nas zamoliše da ostanemo u njih sedam dana. Tako stigosmo u Rim.
where having found brethren, we were entreated to remain with them seven days: and thus we came into Rome.
15 Kada su tamošnja braća čula za nas, iziđoše nam u susret do Apijeva trga i Triju gostionica. Kad ih Pavao ugleda, zahvali Bogu i ohrabri se.
And the brethren, hearing the news concerning us, came thence to meet us at the Appian Forum and Three Taverns: whom Paul, seeing, having given thanks to God, took courage.
16 A kad uđosmo u Rim, Pavlu su dopustili stanovati zasebno, zajedno s vojnikom koji ga je čuvao.
And when we came into Rome, it was permitted to Paul to remain to himself with the soldier guarding him.
17 Nakon tri dana sazva on židovske prvake. Kad se sabraše, reče im: “Ja, braćo, ne učinih ništa protiv naroda ni običaja otačkih, a ipak me okovana u Jeruzalemu predadoše u ruke Rimljana.
And it came to pass, after three days, he called together those who were first of the Jews; and they having assembled, he said to them, I, men, brethren, having done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, was committed a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans;
18 Oni me nakon istrage htjedoše pustiti jer nije na meni bilo ništa čime bih bio zaslužio smrt.
who judging me, were counseling to release me, because there was nothing worthy of death in me:
19 Kako se Židovi tome opriješe, bio sam prisiljen prizvati se na cara; ne dakle stoga što bih imao bilo za što tužiti svoj narod.
and the Jews speaking against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not having anything for which to accuse my nation.
20 S toga dakle razloga zamolih vidjeti vas i obratiti vam se jer zbog nade Izraelove nosim ove verige.”
Then for this cause I have called you, to see you, and talk to you: for on account of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
21 Oni mu odvrate: “Mi o tebi nismo primili nikakva pisma iz Judeje niti nam je tko od pristigle braće o tebi što zlo javio ili rekao.
And they said to him, Neither have we received letters from Judea concerning you, neither has any one of the brethren coming, proclaimed or spoken anything evil concerning you.
22 Nego htjeli bismo od tebe čuti što misliš jer o toj sljedbi znamo samo da joj se posvuda proturječi.”
But we desire to hear from you what you think: for indeed concerning this sect, it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against.
23 Nato urekoše dan pa dođoše mnogi k njemu u stan. Izlagao im je i svjedočio o kraljevstvu Božjemu te ih od jutra do večeri iz Mojsijeva Zakona i Proroka uvjeravao o Isusu.
And having appointed a day with him, many came to him into his hired house, to whom witnessing he expounded the kingdom of God, indeed persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning unto evening.
24 I jedne uvjeriše njegove riječi, a drugi nisu vjerovali.
And some of them indeed believed the things spoken, but others continued to doubt;
25 Nesložni tako među sobom, stadoše se razilaziti kadli im Pavao reče još jednu riječ: “Lijepo Duh Sveti po Izaiji proroku reče ocima vašim:
and they being disharmonious to one another, dispersed, Paul saying one word, that truly the Holy Ghost spoke through the prophet Isaiah to your fathers, saying,
26 Idi k tomu narodu i reci mu: Slušat ćete, slušati - i nećete razumjeti; gledat ćete, gledati - i nećete vidjeti!
Go to this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and may not understand; and seeing you shall see, and may not perceive:
27 Jer usalilo se srce naroda ovoga: uši začepiše, oči zatvoriše da očima ne vide, ušima ne čuju, srcem ne razumiju te se ne obrate pa ih izliječim.
for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and they heard with their ears heavily, and closed their eyes; lest they may see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I shall heal them.
28 Neka vam je dakle svima znano: poganima je poslano ovo spasenje Božje; oni će poslušati!”
Therefore let it be known unto you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.
30 Pavao osta pune dvije godine u svom unajmljenom stanu gdje je primao sve koji su dolazili k njemu,
And he spent a whole biennium in his own hired house, and received all those coming to him,
31 propovijedao kraljevstvo Božje i naučavao o Gospodinu Isusu Kristu sa svom slobodom, nesmetano.
preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things concerning the Lord Jesus, with all boldness, uninterruptedly.
