Djela apostolska 7
1 Veliki svećenik upita: “Je li to tako?”
And the chief priest said, “Are then these things so?”
2 Stjepan odgovori: “Braćo i oci, čujte! Bog slave ukaza se ocu našemu Abrahamu dok bijaše u Mezopotamiji, prije negoli se nastani u Haranu,
And he said, “Men, brothers, and fathers, listen! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran,
3 i reče mu: Iziđi iz zemlje svoje, iz zavičaja svoga, hajde u zemlju koju ću ti pokazati.
and He said to him, Go forth out of your land, and out of your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.
4 On nato iziđe iz zemlje kaldejske i nastani se u Haranu. Odande ga nakon smrti oca njegova Bog preseli u ovu zemlju u kojoj vi sada boravite.
Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from there, after the death of his father, He removed him to this land wherein you now dwell,
5 U njoj mu ne dade ni stope baštine, nego obeća dati je u posjed njemu i potomstvu njegovu nakon njega, premda još nije imao djeteta.
and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep, and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him—he having no child.
6 Bog isto tako reče da će potomci njegovi biti pridošlice u zemlji tuđoj, da će ih porobljavati i tlačiti četiri stotine godina.
And God spoke thus, that his seed will be sojourning in a strange land, and they will cause it to serve, and will do it evil [for] four hundred years.
7 Ali narod kojemu budu robovali ja ću suditi, reče Bog. A nakon toga izići će i iskazati mi štovanje na ovome mjestu.
And the nation whom they will serve I will judge, said God; And after these things they will come forth and will do Me service in this place.
8 Dade mu i Savez obrezanja. Tako rodi Izaka i obreza ga osmi dan, Izak Jakova, Jakov dvanaest rodozačetnika.”
And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac [begot] Jacob, and Jacob—the twelve patriarchs;
9 “Rodozačetnici pak, iz zavisti, Josipa predadoše u Egipat. Ali Bog bijaše s njim
and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,
10 te ga izbavljaše iz svih nevolja, podari ga naklonošću i mudrošću pred faraonom, kraljem egipatskim koji ga postavi za upravitelja nad Egiptom i nad cijelim dvorom svojim.
and delivered him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he set him—governor over Egypt and all his house.
11 Onda u cijeloj zemlji egipatskoj i kanaanskoj nasta glad i nevolja velika: oci naši ne mogahu naći hrane.
And there came a scarcity on all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
12 Kad Jakov doču da u Egiptu ima žita, posla onamo najprije oce naše.
and Jacob having heard that there was grain in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;
13 Drugi se put Josip očitova braći svojoj pa faraon dozna za podrijetlo Josipovo.
and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became disclosed to Pharaoh,
14 Josip tada posla po Jakova, oca svoga, i svu rodbinu, sedamdeset i pet duša.
and Joseph having sent, called for his father Jacob, and all his relatives—with seventy-five souls—
15 Jakov tako siđe u Egipat. I umrije on i oci naši.
and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,
16 Preneseni su u Sihem i položeni u grob koji je Abraham za srebro kupio od sinova Hamorovih u Sihemu.”
and they were carried over into Shechem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Shechem.
17 “Kako se bližilo vrijeme obećanja koje Bog obreče Abrahamu, rastao je u Egiptu narod i množio se
And according as the time of the promise was drawing near, which God swore to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
18 dok ondje ne zavlada drugi kralj koji nije poznavao Josipa.
until another king rose, who had not known Joseph;
19 Lukav prema rodu našemu, tlačio je on oce naše da bi djecu svoju izlagali da ne ostanu na životu.
this one, having dealt subtly with our family, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babies, that they might not live;
20 U taj se čas rodi Mojsije. Bijaše božanski lijep. Tri je mjeseca hranjen u kući očinskoj,
in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up [for] three months in the house of his father;
21 a onda, kad je bio izložen, prigrli ga kći faraonova i othrani sebi za sina.
and he having been set outside, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and reared him to herself for a son;
22 Tako Mojsije, odgojen u svoj mudrosti egipatskoj, bijaše silan na riječima i djelima.”
and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.
23 “Kad mu bijaše četrdeset godina, ponuka ga srce da pohodi braću svoju, sinove Izraelove.
And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came on his heart to look after his brothers, the sons of Israel;
24 I kad vidje kako je jednomu nanesena nepravda, suprotstavi se i osveti zlostavljenoga ubivši Egipćanina.
and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he defended, and did justice to the oppressed, having struck the Egyptian;
25 Mislio je da će braća njegova shvatiti kako će im Bog po njegovoj ruci pružiti spasenje, ali oni ne shvatiše.
and he was supposing his brothers to understand that God gives salvation through his hand; and they did not understand.
26 Sutradan se pojavi pred onima koji su se tukli te ih stade nagovarati da se izmire: 'Ljudi, braća ste! Zašto zlostavljate jedan drugoga?'
On the succeeding day, also, he showed himself to them as they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, you are brothers, why do you do injustice to one another?
27 Ali ga onaj što je zlostavljao svoga bližnjega odbi riječima: Tko te postavi glavarom i sucem nad nama?
And he who is doing injustice to the neighbor, thrusted him away, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Kaniš li ubiti i mene kao što si jučer ubio onog Egipćanina?
Do you wish to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Na te riječi pobježe Mojsije i skloni se u zemlju midjansku, gdje mu se rodiše dva sina.”
And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons,
30 “Nakon četrdeset godina ukaza mu se Anđeo u pustinji brda Sinaja u rasplamtjeloj vatri jednoga grma.
and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai [the] Messenger of the LORD, in a flame of fire of a bush,
31 Opazivši to, zadivi se Mojsije viđenju. Dok je prilazio da bolje promotri, eto glasa Gospodnjega:
and Moses having seen, wondered at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the LORD to him,
32 Ja sam Bog Otaca tvojih, Bog Abrahamov, Izakov i Jakovljev. Sav preplašen, Mojsije se ne usudi pogledati.
I [am] the God of your fathers; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses having become terrified, did not dare behold,
33 A Gospodin će mu: Izuj obuću s nogu! Jer mjesto na kojem stojiš, sveto je tlo.
and the LORD said to him, Loose the sandal of your feet, for the place in which you have stood is holy ground;
34 Vidio sam, vidio nevolju naroda svoga u Egiptu i uzdisaj mu čuo pa siđoh izbaviti ga. I sad hajde! Šaljem te u Egipat!”
seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that [is] in Egypt, and I heard their groaning, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send you to Egypt.
35 “Toga Mojsija - kojega su se odrekli rekavši: Tko te postavi glavarom i sucem? - toga im Bog kao glavara i otkupitelja posla po Anđelu koji mu se ukaza u grmu.
This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge? This one God sent [as] a ruler and a redeemer, by the hand of [the] Messenger who appeared to him in the bush;
36 On ih izvede učinivši čudesa i znamenja u zemlji egipatskoj, u Crvenome moru i u pustinji kroz četrdeset godina.
this one brought them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years;
37 To je onaj Mojsije koji reče sinovima Izraelovim: Proroka poput mene od vaše braće podići će vam Bog.
this is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel: The LORD your God will raise up to you a Prophet out of your brothers, like to me, Him will you hear.
38 To je onaj koji za skupa u pustinji bijaše između Anđela što mu govoraše na brdu Sinaju i otaca naših; onaj koji je primio riječi životne da ih nama preda.
This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the Messenger who is speaking to him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers who received the living oracles to give to us;
39 Njemu se ne htjedoše pokoriti oci naši, nego ga odbiše i u srcima se svojima vratiše u Egipat
to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but thrusted away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
40 rekavši Aronu: 'Napravi nam bogove koji će ići pred nama! Ta ne znamo što se dogodi s tim Mojsijem koji nas izvede iz zemlje egipatske.'
saying to Aaron, Make to us gods who will go on before us, for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what has happened to him.
41 Tele načiniše u dane one, prinesoše žrtvu tom kumiru i veseljahu se djelima ruku svojih.
And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands,
42 Bog se pak odvrati i prepusti ih da časte vojsku nebesku, kao što piše u Knjizi proročkoj: Prinosiste li mi žrtve i prinose četrdeset godina u pustinji, dome Izraelov?
and God turned, and gave them up to do service to the host of Heaven, according as it has been written in the scroll of the Prophets: Did you offer slain beasts and sacrifices to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 Poprimiste šator Molohov i zvijezdu boga Refana - likove koje napraviste da biste im se klanjali. Odvest ću vas stoga u progonstvo onkraj Babilona!”
And you took up the dwelling place of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan—the figures that you made to worship them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon.
44 “Oci naši imahu u pustinji Šator svjedočanstva kako odredi Onaj koji reče Mojsiju da se on načini po praliku koji je vidio.
The Dwelling Place of the Testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He directed, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen;
45 Taj su Šator preuzeli oci naši i pod Jošuom ga unijeli u posjed s kojega Bog pred licem njihovim rastjera narode. Tako bijaše sve do dana Davida,
which also our fathers having in succession received, brought in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God drove out from the presence of our fathers, until the days of David,
46 koji je našao milost pred Bogom te molio da nađe boravište Bogu Jakovljevu.
who found favor before God, and requested to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob;
47 Istom Salomon izgradi mu Dom.
and Solomon built Him a house.
48 Ali Svevišnji u rukotvorinama ne prebiva, kao što veli prorok:
But the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, according as the prophet says:
49 Nebesa su moje prijestolje, a zemlja podnožje nogama. Kakav dom da mi sagradite, govori Gospodin, i gdje da bude mjesto mog počinka?
Heaven [is] My throne, And the earth My footstool, What house will you build to Me? Says the LORD; Or what [is] the place of My rest?
50 Nije li ruka moja načinila sve to?
Has My hand not made all these things?
51 Tvrdovrati i neobrezanih srdaca i ušiju, vi se uvijek opirete Duhu Svetomu: kako oci vaši tako i vi!
You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers—also you;
52 Kojega od proroka nisu progonili oci vaši? I pobiše one koji su unaprijed navijestili dolazak Pravednika čiji ste vi sada izdajice i ubojice,
which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers,
53 vi koji po anđeoskim uredbama primiste Zakon, ali ga se niste držali.”
who received the Law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].”
54 Kad su to čuli, uskipješe u srcima i počeše škripati zubima na njega.
And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and gnashed the teeth at him;
55 Ali on, pun Duha Svetoga, uprije pogled u nebo i ugleda slavu Božju i Isusa gdje stoji zdesna Bogu
and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked steadfastly to the sky, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 pa reče: “Evo vidim nebesa otvorena i Sina Čovječjega gdje stoji zdesna Bogu.”
and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.”
57 Vičući iza glasa, oni zatisnuše uši i navališe jednodušno na njega.
And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and rushed with one accord on him,
58 Izbaciše ga iz grada pa ga kamenovahu. Svjedoci odložiše haljine do nogu mladića koji se zvao Savao.
and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning [him]—and the witnesses put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul—
59 I dok su ga kamenovali, Stjepan je zazivao: “Gospodine Isuse, primi duh moj!”
and they were stoning Stephen, [as he was] calling and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”;
60 Onda se baci na koljena i povika iza glasa: “Gospodine, ne uzmi im ovo za grijeh!” Kada to reče, usnu.
and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, “LORD, may You not lay to them this sin”; and having said this, he fell asleep.
