Acts 18
1 After these things, he went away from Athens, and came to Corinth.
Nakon toga napusti Pavao Atenu i ode u Korint.
2 And there he came across a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, who not long before had come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had given orders that all Jews were to go away from Rome: and he came to them;
Ondje nađe nekog Židova imenom Akvilu, rodom iz Ponta, koji netom bijaše došao iz Italije sa svojom ženom Priscilom jer je Klaudije naredio da svi Židovi napuste Rim. Pohodio ih je
3 And because he was of the same trade, he was living with them, and they did their work together; for by trade they were tent-makers.
i, kako bijahu istog zanimanja, ostao kod njih i radio. Po zanimanju bijahu šatorari.
4 And every Sabbath he had discussions in the Synagogue, turning Jews and Greeks to the faith.
Svake je pak subote raspravljao u sinagogi i uvjeravao Židove i Grke.
5 And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
Kad iz Makedonije pristigoše Sila i Timotej, Pavao se potpuno posveti Riječi svjedočeći Židovima da Isus jest Krist.
6 And when they put themselves against him, and said evil words, he said, shaking his clothing, Your blood be on your heads, I am clean: from now I will go to the Gentiles.
Kako se pak oni stadoše protiviti i huliti, otrese on haljine i reče im: “Krv vaša na glave vaše! Ja sam nedužan. Od sada idem k poganima.”
7 And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue.
I ode odande te prijeđe u kuću nekoga bogobojazna čovjeka, imenom Ticija Justa, čija kuća bijaše tik do sinagoge.
8 And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism.
A nadstojnik sinagoge Krisp povjerova Gospodinu zajedno sa svim svojim domom. I mnogi od Korinćana koji su to slušali povjerovaše i pokrstiše se.
9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night, in a vision, Have no fear and go on preaching:
Jedne noći reče Gospodin Pavlu u viđenju: “Ne boj se, nego govori i ne daj se ušutkati!
10 For I am with you, and no one will make an attack on you to do you damage: for I have a number of people in this town.
Ta ja sam s tobom i nitko se neće usuditi da ti naudi. Jer mnogo je naroda mojega u ovome gradu.”
11 And he was there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Tako se zadrža godinu i šest mjeseci naučavajući među njima riječ Božju.
12 But when Gallio was ruler of Achaia, all the Jews together made an attack on Paul, and took him to the judge's seat,
Ali dok je Galion bio prokonzul Ahaje, navališe Židovi jednodušno na Pavla, dovukoše ga u sudnicu
13 Saying, This man is teaching the people to give worship to God in a way which is against the law.
i rekoše: “Ovaj potiče ljude da protiv zakona štuju Boga.”
14 But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing:
Pavao samo što nije zaustio kadli Galion reče Židovima: “Da je posrijedi zločin kakav ili nedjelo opako, saslušao bih vas, Židovi, kako je pravo;
15 But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.
je li pak raspra o riječi i imenima i o nekom vašem zakonu, proviđajte sami; u tome ja ne želim biti sudac.”
16 And he sent them away from the judge's seat.
I otpremi ih iz sudnice.
17 And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things.
A oni svi pograbiše nadstojnika sinagoge Sostena i stadoše ga šibati pred sudnicom. Galion nije za to ništa mario.
18 And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath.
Pavao osta još podosta vremena, a onda se oprosti s braćom pa pošto se u Kenhreji ošiša jer imaše zavjet, zaplovi prema Siriji, a s njime i Priscila i Akvila.
19 And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.
Stigoše u Efez. Tu ih ostavi, a on uđe u sinagogu i stade raspravljati sa Židovima.
20 And being requested by them to be there for a longer time, he said, No;
Oni ga zamole da ostanu duže vremena, ali on ne pristade,
21 And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus.
nego se oprosti: “Još ću se, reče, vratiti k vama, bude li Božja volja.” I otplovi iz Efeza.
22 And when he had come to land at Caesarea, he went to see the church, and then went down to Antioch.
Kad stiže u Cezareju, uziđe pozdraviti Crkvu pa onda siđe u Antiohiju.
23 And having been there for some time, he went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, making the disciples strong in the faith.
Neko se vrijeme zadrža pa onda ode i zareda galacijskim područjem i Frigijom utvrđujući sve učenike.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and a man of learning, came to Ephesus; and he had great knowledge of the holy Writings.
Uto neki Židov imenom Apolon, rodom Aleksandrijac, čovjek rječit i upućen u Pisma, stiže u Efez.
25 This man had been trained in the way of the Lord; and burning in spirit, he gave himself up to teaching the facts about Jesus, though he had knowledge only of John's baptism:
On bijaše upućen u Put Gospodnji pa je vatrene duše govorio i naučavao pomno o Isusu, premda je znao samo za Ivanovo krštenje.
26 And he was preaching in the Synagogue without fear. But Priscilla and Aquila, hearing his words, took him in, and gave him fuller teaching about the way of God.
Poče on tako smjelo govoriti u sinagogi. Čuše ga Priscila i Akvila, uzeše ga k sebi i pomnije mu izložiše Put Božji.
27 And when he had a desire to go over into Achaia, the brothers gave him help, and sent letters to the disciples requesting them to take him in among them: and when he had come, he gave much help to those who had faith through grace:
A kad je nakanio otići u Ahaju, ohrabriše ga braća i napisaše učenicima da ga prime. Kad je stigao onamo, uvelike je koristio vjernicima po milosti
28 For he overcame the Jews in public discussion, making clear from the holy Writings that the Christ was Jesus.
jer je snažno pobijao Židove javno pokazujući iz Pisama da Isus jest Krist.
