Djela apostolska 1
1 Prvu sam knjigu, Teofile, sastavio o svemu što je Isus činio i učio
My first account, O Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus began doing and teaching from the beginning down to the day when,
2 do dana kad je uznesen pošto je dao upute apostolima koje je izabrao po Duhu Svetome.
after giving instructions through the Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up to heaven.
3 Njima je poslije svoje muke mnogim dokazima pokazao da je živ, četrdeset im se dana ukazivao i govorio o kraljevstvu Božjem.
After his sufferings he had also shown himself alive to them in many convincing manifestations, revealing himself to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
4 I dok je jednom s njima blagovao, zapovjedi im da ne napuštaju Jeruzalema, nego neka čekaju Obećanje Očevo “koje čuste od mene:
And once when he was eating with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father. "Of this," he said, "you have heard from me.
5 Ivan je krstio vodom, a vi ćete naskoro nakon ovih dana biti kršteni Duhom Svetim.”
"For John indeed baptized in water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence."
6 Nato ga sabrani upitaše: “Gospodine, hoćeš li u ovo vrijeme Izraelu opet uspostaviti kraljevstvo?”
So, when they came together, they began to ask him, "Master, are you at this time about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
7 On im odgovori: “Nije vaše znati vremena i zgode koje je Otac podredio svojoj vlasti.
He answered. "It is not for you to know times and occasions which the Father has fixed in his own authority;
8 Nego primit ćete snagu Duha Svetoga koji će sići na vas i bit ćete mi svjedoci u Jeruzalemu, po svoj Judeji i Samariji i sve do kraja zemlje.”
"yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you are to be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the very ends of the earth."
9 Kada to reče, bi uzdignut njima naočigled i oblak ga ote njihovim očima.
When he had said this, and while they were looking at him, he was lifted up, and a cloud received him up out of their sight.
10 I dok su netremice gledali kako on odlazi na nebo, gle, dva čovjeka stadoše kraj njih u bijeloj odjeći
While they were gazing into the sky as he was going up, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,
11 i rekoše im: “Galilejci, što stojite i gledate u nebo? Ovaj Isus koji je od vas uznesen na nebo isto će tako doći kao što ste vidjeli da odlazi na nebo.”
and they said. "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into the sky will come back in just the same way as you have seen him going into the sky."
12 Onda se vratiše u Jeruzalem s brda zvanoga Maslinsko, koje je blizu Jeruzalema, udaljeno jedan subotni hod.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, about a Sabbath Day’s journey distant.
13 I pošto uđu u grad, uspnu se u gornju sobu gdje su boravili: Petar i Ivan i Jakov i Andrija, Filip i Toma, Bartolomej i Matej, Jakov Alfejev i Šimun Revnitelj i Juda Jakovljev -
On entering the city they went to the upper room where they were accustomed to meet. They were Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 svi oni bijahu jednodušno postojani u molitvi sa ženama, i Marijom, majkom Isusovom, i braćom njegovom.
These all with one mind gave their constant attention to prayer, together with some women, and with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 U one dane ustade Petar među braćom - a bijaše sakupljenog naroda oko sto i dvadeset duša - i reče:
It was during these days that Peter stood up among the brothers - the whole number of persons present was about one hundred and twenty - and said.
16 “Braćo! Trebalo je da se ispuni Pismo što ga na usta Davidova proreče Duh Sveti o Judi koji bijaše vođa onih što uhvatiše Isusa.
"Men and brothers, it was necessary for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit uttered beforehand by the lips of David in regard to Judas who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17 A Juda se ubrajao među nas i imao udio u ovoj službi.
"For he was numbered among us, and he did get his allotted share of this ministry.
18 On, eto, steče predio cijenom nepravednosti pa se stropošta, raspuče po sredini i razli mu se sva utroba.
"Now this man bought a plot of ground with the price of his treachery, and falling there headlong he burst asunder and all his bowels gushed out.
19 I svim je Jeruzalemcima znano da se onaj predio njihovim jezikom zove Akeldama, to jest Predio smrti.
"This fact became known to the people of Jerusalem so that the place was called in their language, Acheldamach, The Field of Blood.
20 Pisano je doista u Knjizi psalama: Njegova kuća nek opusti, nek ne bude stanovnika u njoj! Njegovo nadgledništvo nek dobije drugi!
"For it is written in the Book of Psalms, Let his dwelling-place be desolate; Let no man dwell there, also, Let another take his work.
21 Jedan dakle od ovih ljudi što bijahu s nama za sve vrijeme što je među nama živio Gospodin Isus -
"It is necessary then that, of the men who have been associated with us during the whole time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 počevši od krštenja Ivanova pa sve do dana kad bi uzet od nas - treba da bude svjedokom njegova uskrsnuća.
from his baptism by John down to the day on which he was taken up from us, one should join us a witness to his resurrection."
23 I postaviše dvojicu: Josipa koji se zvao Barsaba a prozvao se Just, i Matiju.
So they placed two in nomination, Joseph called Bar-Sabbas (surnamed Justas) and Matthias;
24 Onda se pomoliše: “Ti, Gospodine, poznavaoče svih srdaca, pokaži koga si od ove dvojice izabrao
and they prayed, saying. "Thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show clearly which of these two men thou hast chosen to fill the place
25 da primi mjesto ove apostolske službe kojoj se iznevjeri Juda da ode na svoje mjesto.”
"in this ministry of this apostles from which Judas went out to go to his own place."
26 Onda baciše kocke i kocka pade na Matiju; tako bi pribrojen jedanaestorici apostola.
Then they cast lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
