Acts 23
1 And Paul looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day.
A Pavle pogledavši na skupštinu reèe: ljudi braæo! ja sa svom dobrom savjesti življeh pred Bogom do samoga ovog dana.
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
A poglavar sveštenièki Ananija zapovjedi onima što stajahu kod njega da ga biju po ustima.
3 Then Paul said to him: God shall strike thee, thou whited wall. For sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and contrary to the law commandest me to be struck?
Tada mu reèe Pavle: tebe æe Bog biti, zide okreèeni! I ti sjediš te mi sudiš po zakonu, a prestupajuæi zakon zapovijedaš da me biju.
4 And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
A oni što stajahu naokolo rekoše: zar psuješ Božijeg poglavara sveštenièkoga?
5 And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people.
A Pavle reèe: ne znadoh, braæo, da je poglavar sveštenièki, jer stoji napisano: starješini naroda svojega da ne govoriš ružno.
6 And Paul knowing that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
A znajuæi Pavle da je jedan dio sadukeja a drugi fariseja, povika na skupštini: ljudi braæo! ja sam farisej i sin farisejev: za nad i za vaskrsenije iz mrtvijeh doveden sam na sud.
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
A kad on ovo reèe, postade raspra meðu sadukejima i farisejima, i razdijeli se narod.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Jer sadukeji govore da nema vaskrsenija, ni anðela ni duha; a fariseji priznaju oboje.
9 And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
I postade velika vika, i ustavši književnici od strane farisejske prepirahu se meðu sobom govoreæi: nikakvo zlo ne nalazimo na ovome èovjeku; ako li mu govori duh ili anðeo, da se ne suprotimo Bogu.
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
A kad posta raspra velika, pobojavši se vojvoda da Pavla ne raskinu, zapovjedi da siðu vojnici i da ga otmu izmeðu njih, i da ga odvedu u oko.
11 And the night following the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
A onu noæ stade Gospod predanjga i reèe: ne boj se, Pavle, jer kao što si svjedoèio za mene u Jerusalimu, tako ti valja i u Rimu svjedoèiti.
12 And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat, nor drink, till they killed Paul.
A kad bi dan, uèiniše neki od Jevreja vijeæu i zakleše se govoreæi da neæe ni jesti ni piti dokle ne ubiju Pavla.
13 And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
A bješe ih više od èetrdeset koji ovu kletvu uèiniše.
14 Who came to the chief priests and the ancients, and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul.
Ovi pristupivši ka glavarima sveštenièkijem i starješinama, rekoše: kletvom zaklesmo se da neæemo ništa okusiti dok ne ubijemo Pavla;
15 Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him.
Sad dakle vi sa saborom kažite vojvodi da ga sjutra svede k vama, kao da biste htjeli doznati bolje za njega; a mi smo gotovi da ga ubijemo prije nego se on približi.
16 Which when Paul’s sister’s son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.
A sin sestre Pavlove èuvši ovu zasjedu doðe i uðe u oko i kaza Pavlu.
17 And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune, for he hath some thing to tell him.
A Pavle dozvavši jednoga od kapetana reèe: ovo momèe odvedi k vojvodi, jer ima nešto da mu kaže.
18 And he taking him, brought him to the tribune, and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee.
A on ga uze i dovede k vojvodi, i reèe: sužanj Pavle dozva me i zamoli da ovo momèe dovedem k tebi koje ima nešto da ti govori.
19 And the tribune taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately, and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me?
A vojvoda uzevši ga za ruku, i otišavši nasamo, pitaše ga: šta je što imaš da mi kažeš?
20 And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring forth Paul tomorrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him.
A ono reèe: Jevreji dogovoriše se da te zamole da sjutra svedeš Pavla k njima na skupštinu, kao da bi htjeli bolje ispitati za njega;
21 But do not thou give credit to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat, nor to drink, till they have killed him: and they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee.
Ali ti ih nemoj poslušati, jer ga èekaju od njih više od èetrdeset ljudi koji su se zakleli da neæe ni jesti ni piti dokle ga ne ubiju; i sad su gotovi, i èekaju tvoje obeæanje.
22 The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.
A vojvoda onda otpusti momèe zapovjedivši mu: nikom ne kazuj da si mi ovo javio.
23 Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen for the third hour of the night:
I dozvavši dvojicu od kapetana reèe: pripravite mi dvjesta vojnika da idu do Æesarije, i sedamdeset konjika i dvjesta strijelaca, po treæemu sahatu noæi.
24 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
I neka dovedu konje da posade Pavla, i da ga prate do Filiksa sudije.
25 (For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him, and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner:
I napisa poslanicu u kojoj ovako govoraše:
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
Od Klaudija Lisije èestitome Filiksu pozdravlje.
27 This man being taken by the Jews, and ready to be killed by them, I rescued coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman:
Èovjeka ovoga uhvatiše Jevreji i šæahu da ga ubiju; ja pak doðoh s vojnicima i oteh ga doznavši da je Rimljanin.
28 And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
I želeæi doznati uzrok za koji ga krive svedoh ga na njihovu skupštinu.
29 Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.
Tada naðoh da ga krive za pitanja zakona njihova, a da nema nikakve krivice koja zaslužuje smrt ili okove.
30 And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell.
I doznavši ja ugovor Jevrejski o glavi ovoga èovjeka odmah ga poslah k tebi zapovjedivši i suparnicima njegovijem da pred tobom kažu što imaju na nj. Zdrav budi!
31 Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
A vojnici onda, kao što im se zapovjedi, uzeše Pavla i odvedoše ga noæu u Antipatridu.
32 And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
A sjutradan ostavivši konjike da idu s njim, vratiše se u oko.
33 Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
A oni došavši u Æesariju, predaše poslanicu sudiji i izvedoše Pavla preda nj.
34 And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
A sudija proèitavši poslanicu zapita odakle je; i doznavši da je iz Kilikije
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
Reèe: ispitaæu te kad suparnici tvoji doðu. I zapovjedi da ga èuvaju u dvoru Irodovom.
