Djela apostolska 5
1 Neki pak čovjek po imenu Ananija, zajedno sa svojom ženom Safirom proda imanje
But, a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 pa u dogovoru sa ženom odvoji nešto od utrška, a samo jedan dio donese i postavi pred noge apostolima.
And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it; and, bringing a certain part, at the feet of the Apostles, he laid it.
3 Petar mu reče: “Ananija, zašto ti Sotona ispuni srce te si slagao Duhu Svetomu i odvojio od utrška imanja?
But Peter said—Ananias! wherefore did Satan fill thy heart, that thou shouldst deal falsely with the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the field?
4 Da je ostalo neprodano, ne bi li tvoje ostalo; i jednoć prodano, nije li u tvojoj vlasti? Zašto si se na takvo što odlučio? Nisi slagao ljudima, nego Bogu!”
While it remained, was it not, as thine own, it remained? and, when sold, was it not, in thine own authority, that it still continued? Why was it that thou didst contrive in thy heart this deed? Thou hast not dealt falsely with men but, with God.
5 Kako Ananija ču te riječi, sruši se i izdahnu. I silan strah spopade sve koji su to čuli.
And, as Ananias heard these words, he fell, and expired. And there came great fear upon all that heard;
6 Nato ustanu mladići, poviju ga, iznesu i pokopaju.
But the young men, rising up, wrapped him about, and, bearing him forth, buried him.
7 Nakon otprilike tri sata uđe njegova žena ne znajući što se dogodilo.
And it came to pass, after about three hours interval, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 Petar joj reče: “Reci mi, jeste li za toliko dali imanje?” Ona odgovori: “Da, za toliko.”
And Peter began to say unto her—Tell me! was it, for so much, ye gave up the field? And she said—Yea! for so much.
9 A Petar će joj: “Što vam bi da se složiste iskušati Duha Gospodnjega? Eto na vratima nogu onih koji ti pokopaše muža! I tebe će iznijeti!”
And, Peter, [said] unto her—Why was it agreed by you to put to the proof the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of them that have buried thy husband, are at the door, and they shall bear thee forth.
10 Ona se umah sruši do njegovih nogu i izdahnu. Oni mladići uđu, nađu je mrtvu, iznesu je i pokopaju uz muža.
And she fell instantly at his feet, and expired. And the young men, coming in, found her dead; and, bearing her forth, they buried her with her husband.
11 I silan strah spopade cijelu Crkvu i sve koji su to čuli.
And there came great fear upon the whole assembly, and upon all them that heard these things.
12 Po rukama se apostolskim događala mnoga znamenja i čudesa u narodu. Svi su se jednodušno okupljali u Trijemu Salomonovu.
And, through the hands of the Apostles, were coming to pass many signs and wonders among the people; and they were all with one accord in the portico of Solomon;
13 Nitko se drugi nije usuđivao pridružiti im se, ali ih je narod veličao.
Howbeit, of the rest, no one, durst join himself unto them, —nevertheless the people continued to magnify them;
14 I sve se više povećavalo mnoštvo muževa i žena što vjerovahu Gospodinu
And, the more, were being added, when they believed in the Lord, throngs both of men and women; —
15 tako da su na trgove iznosili bolesnike i postavljali ih na ležaljkama i posteljama ne bi li, kad Petar bude prolazio, bar sjena njegova osjenila kojega od njih.
So that, even into the broad-ways, were they bringing forth the sick, and laying them on small couches and beds, in order that, if Peter were coming along, even perchance his shadow, might overshadow some one of them.
16 A slijegalo bi se i mnoštvo iz gradova oko Jeruzalema: donosili bi bolesnike i opsjednute od nečistih duhova, i svi bi ozdravljali.
Moreover even the throng of the cities all round Jerusalem was coming together, bearing sick folk, and such as were harassed by impure spirits, —who, indeed, were being cured, one and all.
17 Onda se podiže veliki svećenik i sve njegove pristaše - sljedba saducejska.
But the High-priest, arising, and all who were with him, —being the sect of the Sadducees, —were filled with jealousy,
18 Puni zavisti, pohvataju apostole i strpaju ih u javnu tamnicu.
And thrust their hands upon the Apostles, and put them in a public ward.
19 Ali anđeo Gospodnji noću otvori vrata tamnice, izvede ih i reče:
But, a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison; and, leading them out, said—
20 “Pođite i postojano u Hramu navješćujte narodu sve riječi Života ovoga.”
Be going your way, and, taking your stand, be speaking, in the temple, unto the people, all the declarations of this Life.
21 Poslušni, u praskozorje su ušli u Hram te naučavali. Uto stiže veliki svećenik i njegove pristaše, sazovu Vijeće i sve starješinstvo sinova Izraelovih pa pošalju u zatvor da ih dovedu.
Now, when they heard this, they entered, under the dawn, into the temple, and began teaching. And the High-priest and they who were with him, arriving, called together the high-council, and all the senate of the sons of Israel; and sent off unto the prison, to have them brought.
22 Kad stražari stigoše onamo, ne nađoše ih u tamnici pa se vrate i jave:
And, the officers who came to the place, found them not in the prison; and, returning, brought tidings,
23 “Zatvor smo našli sa svom pomnjom zatvoren i čuvare na straži pred vratima, ali kad smo otvorili, nikoga unutra ne nađosmo.”
Saying—The prison, found we locked with all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors; but, when we had opened the prison, inside, found we, no one.
24 Kad su hramski zapovjednik i veliki svećenici čuli te riječi, u nedoumici su se pitali što bi to moglo biti.
Now, when both the captain of the temple and the High-priests heard these words, they were utterly at a loss concerning them—what perhaps this might come to.
25 Nato netko pristigne i dojavi im: “Eno, ljudi koje baciste u tamnicu, u Hramu stoje i uče narod.”
But some one, entering, brought tidings unto them—Lo! the men whom ye put in the prison, are in the temple, standing, and teaching the people!
26 Tada zapovjednik sa stražarima ode te ih dovede - ne na silu jer se bojahu da ih narod ne kamenuje.
Then, the captain with the officers, departing, brought them—not with violence, —for they were afraid of the people, lest they should be stoned;
27 Dovedoše ih i privedoše pred Vijeće. Veliki ih svećenik zapita:
But, leading them in, set them in the high- council. And the High-priest questioned them,
28 “Nismo li vam strogo zabranili učiti u to Ime? A vi ste eto napunili Jeruzalem svojim naukom i hoćete na nas navući krv toga čovjeka.”
Saying—Strictly, did we charge you not to be teaching upon this name; and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are minded to bring down upon us, the blood of this man.
29 Petar i apostoli odvrate: “Treba se većma pokoravati Bogu negoli ljudima!
But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said—It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto men: —
30 Bog otaca naših uskrisi Isusa kojega vi smakoste objesivši ga na drvo.
The God of our fathers, hath raised up Jesus, —whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon a tree: —
31 Njega Bog desnicom svojom uzvisi za Začetnika i Spasitelja da obraćenjem podari Izraela i oproštenjem grijeha.
Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, —to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.
32 I mi smo svjedoci tih događaja i Duh Sveti kojega dade Bog onima što mu se pokoravaju.”
And, we, are witnesses of these things, —also the Holy Spirit, which God hath given unto them who are yielding obedience unto him.
33 Nato se oni razgnjeviše i htjedoše ih ubiti.
And, they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were making up their minds to slay them.
34 Ali ustade u Vijeću neki farizej imenom Gamaliel, zakonoznanac, kojega je poštovao sav narod. On zapovjedi da ljude načas izvedu
But a certain man, rising up in the high-council, by name Gamaliel, a law-teacher honoured by all the people, gave orders to put the men, outside, for a little, —
35 pa će vijećnicima: “Izraelci, dobro promislite što ćete s tim ljudima.
And said unto them—Men of Israel! be taking heed unto yourselves, what ye are about to inflict upon these men.
36 Ta prije nekog vremena podiže se Teuda tvrdeći da je netko, i uza nj prista oko četiri stotine ljudi. Bi smaknut i sve mu se pristaše razbjegoše i netragom ih nesta.
For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody, —unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and came to nothing.
37 Nakon toga se u dane popisa podiže Juda Galilejac i odvuče narod za sobom. I on propade i sve mu se pristaše raspršiše.
After him, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, were scattered.
38 I sad evo kanite se, velim vam, tih ljudi i otpustite ih. Jer ako je taj naum ili to djelo od ljudi, propast će;
Now, therefore, I say unto you—stand aloof from these men, and let them alone; because if, of men, be this project or this work, it will be overthrown, —
39 ako li je pak od Boga, nećete ga moći uništiti - da se i s Bogom u ratu ne nađete.” Poslušaju ga
But, if it is, of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them: lest once, even fighters against God, ye be found.
40 pa dozovu apostole, išibaju ih, zapovjede im da ne govore u ime Isusovo pa ih otpuste.
And they were persuaded by him; and, calling unto them the Apostles, they, with beating, charged them not be speaking upon the name of Jesus; and let them go.
41 Oni pak odu ispred Vijeća radosni što bijahu dostojni podnijeti pogrde za Ime.
They, therefore, went rejoicing from the presence of the high-council; in that they had been accounted worthy, in behalf of The Name, to suffer dishonour.
42 I svaki su dan u Hramu i po kućama neprestance učili i navješćivali Krista, Isusa.
And, every day in the temple, and at home, they ceased not to be teaching, and telling the good news as to the Anointed Jesus.
