Acts 13
1 The church at Antioch had prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (the childhood friend of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
U antiohijskoj je Crkvi bilo proroka i učitelja: Barnaba, Šimun zvani Niger, Lucije Cirenac, Manahen, suothranjenik Heroda četverovlasnika, i Savao.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart Barnabas and Saul to do the work I've called them to.”
Dok su jednom obavljali službu Božju i postili, reče Duh Sveti: “De mi odlučite Barnabu i Savla za djelo na koje sam ih pozvao.”
3 After they had fasted, prayed, and placed their hands on them in blessing, they sent them on their way.
Onda su postili, molili, položili na njih ruke i otpustili ih.
4 So Barnabas and Saul, directed by the Holy Spirit, went to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Poslani od Svetoga Duha siđu u Seleuciju, a odande odjedre na Cipar.
5 Arriving at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their assistant.
Kad se nađoše u Salamini, navješćivahu riječ Božju u židovskim sinagogama. Imali su i Ivana za poslužitelja.
6 They traveled throughout the island and eventually came to Paphos. There they found a Jewish magician, a false prophet by the name of Bar-jesus.
Pošto pak prođoše sav otok do Pafa, nađoše nekog vračara, nazoviproroka, Židova, imenom Barjesu.
7 He was close to the governor, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. Sergius Paulus invited Barnabas and Saul to come and visit him since he wanted to hear the word of God.
On bijaše uz namjesnika Sergija Pavla, čovjeka razborita. Sergije dozva Barnabu i Savla te zaiska čuti riječ Božju,
8 But the magician Elymas (his Greek name) opposed them, trying to prevent the governor from trusting in God.
ali im se usprotivi Elim, Vračar - tako mu se ime prevodi - nastojeći odvratiti namjesnika od vjere.
9 Saul, also called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and looked straight at him.
Savao pak, zvan i Pavao, pun Duha Svetoga, ošinu ga pogledom
10 “You are full of deception and all kinds of evil, you son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right! Will you never give up perverting the Lord's true ways?
i reče: “Pun svake lukavosti i prevrtljivosti, sine đavolski, neprijatelju svake pravednosti, zar nikako da prestaneš iskrivljavati ravne putove Gospodnje?
11 Look, the Lord's hand is on you and you will become blind. You will not see the sun for some time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell on him, and he had to find someone who could lead him by the hand.
Evo stoga sada ruke Gospodnje na tebi: oslijepljet ćeš i neko vrijeme nećeš gledati sunca!” Odmah pade na nj mrak i tama te on glavinjajući stade tražiti ruke vodilje.
12 When the governor saw what happened he trusted in God, amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
Videći što se dogodilo, povjerova tada namjesnik, zanesen naukom Gospodnjim.
13 Then Paul and those with him sailed from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, while John left them and went back to Jerusalem.
Pošto se Pavao i oni oko njega otisnuše od Pafa, stigoše u Pergu pamfilijsku. Ivan ih napusti te se vrati u Jeruzalem.
14 They went through Perga and on to Antioch of Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and were seated.
Oni pak krenuše iz Perge i stigoše u Antiohiju pizidijsku. U dan subotni ušli su u sinagogu i sjeli.
15 After the readings from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent them a message saying, “Brothers, please share with the congregation any words of encouragement you may have.”
Nakon čitanja Zakona i Proroka pošalju nadstojnici sinagoge k njima: “Braćo, rekoše, ima li u vas koja riječ utjehe za narod, govorite!”
16 Paul stood up, motioned with his hand to get their attention, and began speaking. “Men of Israel, and all of you who have reverence for God, listen to me.
Nato usta Pavao, dadne rukom znak i reče: “Izraelci i vi koji se Boga bojite, čujte!
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our forefathers, and gave our people prosperity during their stay in the land of Egypt. Then with his mighty power he led them out of Egypt,
Bog naroda ovoga, Izraela, izabra oce naše i uzdiže narod za boravka u zemlji egipatskoj te ga ispruženom rukom izvede iz nje.
18 and he patiently dealt with them in the desert for about forty years.
Oko četrdeset ga je godina na rukama nosio u pustinji
19 After he had overthrown seven nations living in the land of Canaan, God divided their land among the Israelites and gave it to them to inherit. This took about four hundred and fifty years.
pa pošto zatre sedam naroda u zemlji kanaanskoj, ubaštini ga u zemlji njihovoj
20 Then he provided them with judges as leaders until the time of the prophet Samuel.
za kakve četiri stotine i pedeset godina. Nakon toga dade im suce - do Samuela proroka.
21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years.
Onda zaiskaše kralja pa im Bog za četrdeset godina dade Šaula, sina Kiševa, iz plemena Benjaminova.
22 Then God removed Saul, and made David their king. God approved of David, saying ‘I found David the son of Jesse to be a man according to my own heart; he will do everything I intend.’
Pošto svrgnu njega, podiže im za kralja Davida za kojega posvjedoči: Nađoh Davida, sina Jišajeva, čovjeka po svom srcu, koji će ispuniti sve moje želje.
23 Jesus is David's descendant; he is the Savior that God promised to bring to Israel.
Iz njegova potomstva izvede Bog po svom obećanju Izraelu Spasitelja, Isusa.
24 Before Jesus came, John announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Pred njegovim je dolaskom Ivan propovijedao krštenje obraćenja svemu narodu izraelskomu.
25 As John was completing his mission, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not the one you're looking for. But after me one is coming whose sandals I'm not worthy to untie.’
A kad je Ivan dovršavao svoju trku, govorio je: 'Nisam ja onaj za koga me vi držite. Nego za mnom evo dolazi onaj komu ja nisam dostojan odriješiti obuće na nogama.'”
26 My brothers, children of Abraham and those of you who have reverence for God: the message of this salvation has been sent to us!
“Braćo, sinovi roda Abrahamova, vi i oni koji se među vama Boga boje, nama je upravljena ova Riječ spasenja.
27 The people living in Jerusalem and their leaders didn't recognize Jesus or understand the words spoken by the prophets that are read every Sabbath. In fact they fulfilled the prophetic words by condemning him!
Doista, žitelji Jeruzalema i glavari njihovi ne upoznaše njega ni riječi proročkih što se čitaju svake subote pa ih, osudivši ga, ispuniše.
28 Even though they couldn't find any evidence to sentence him to death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Premda ne nađoše nikakva razloga smrti, zatražiše od Pilata da ga smakne.
29 After they had fulfilled everything predicted that they would do to him, they took him down from the cross and buried him in a tomb.
Pošto pak izvršiše sve što je o njemu napisano, skinuše ga s drveta i položiše u grob.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Ali Bog ga uskrisi od mrtvih.
31 and he appeared over the course of many days to those who had followed him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to the people.
On se mnogo dana ukazivao onima koji s njim bijahu uzašli iz Galileje u Jeruzalem. Oni su sada njegovi svjedoci pred narodom.”
32 We are here to bring to you the good news of the promise that God made to our forefathers,
“I mi vam navješćujemo evanđelje: obećanje dano ocima
33 that he has now fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus from the dead. As it is written in Psalm 2: ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’
Bog je ispunio djeci, nama, uskrisivši Isusa, kao što je i pisano u Psalmu drugom: Ti si Sin moj, danas te rodih.
34 God raised him from the dead, never to die again, as he indicated by saying, ‘I will give you what is holy and trustworthy, as I promised to David.’
Da ga pak uskrisi od mrtvih te se on više nikad neće vratiti u trulež, rekao je ovime: Dat ću vama svetinje Davidove, pouzdane.
35 As another psalm says, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Zato i na drugome mjestu kaže: Nećeš dati da Svetac tvoj ugleda truleži.
36 But David died, after he had done what God wanted in his own time, and he was buried with his ancestors, and his body decayed.
David doista, pošto u svom naraštaju posluži volji Božjoj, preminu, pridruži se ocima svojim i vidje trulež,
37 The one God raised from the dead saw no decay.
a Onaj koga Bog uskrisi ne vidje truleži.
38 My brothers, I want you to understand that we're telling you that through this man sins are forgiven.
Neka vam dakle braćo, znano bude: po Ovome vam se navješćuje oproštenje grijeha!
39 Through him everyone who trusts in him is made morally right from all that is wrong—in a way that you could never be set right by the law of Moses.
Po Ovome se tko god vjeruje, opravdava od svega od čega se po Mojsijevu zakonu niste mogli opravdati!
40 Make sure that what the prophets said doesn't happen to you:
Pazite da se ne zbude što je rečeno u Prorocima:
41 ‘You who are scornful, look in amazement, and die! For what I'm doing in your lifetime is something that you could never believe, even if someone told you!’”
Obazrite se, preziratelji, snebijte se i nestanite! Jer djelo činim u dane vaše, djelo u koje ne biste vjerovali da vam ga tko ispriča.”
42 As they were leaving, the people pleaded with them to tell them more the next Sabbath.
Na izlasku su ih molili da im iduće subote o tome govore.
43 After the meeting in the synagogue, many of the Jews and the converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas who spoke with them, encouraging them to continue to hold on to the grace of God.
A pošto se skup raspustio, mnogi Židovi i bogobojazne pridošlice pođoše za Pavlom i Barnabom koji su ih nagovarali ustrajati u milosti Božjoj.
44 The following Sabbath almost the whole town turned out to hear the word of God.
Iduće se subote gotovo sav grad zgrnu čuti riječ Gospodnju.
45 However, when the Jews saw the crowds, they became extremely jealous, contradicting what Paul was saying and cursing him.
Kad su Židovi ugledali mnoštvo, puni zavisti psujući suprotstavljali su se onomu što je Pavao govorio.
46 So Paul and Barnabas spoke out strongly, saying “We had to speak the word of God to you first. But now that you're rejecting it—you're deciding that you're not worthy of eternal life—well now we're turning to the foreigners. (aiōnios g166)
Na to im Pavao i Barnaba smjelo rekoše: “Trebalo je da se najprije vama navijesti riječ Božja. Ali kad je odbacujete i sami sebe ne smatrate dostojnima života vječnoga, obraćamo se evo poganima. (aiōnios g166)
47 That's what the Lord has told us to do: ‘I've made you a light to the foreigners, and through you salvation will go to the ends of the earth.’”
Jer ovako nam je zapovjedio Gospodin: Postavih te za svjetlost poganima, da budeš na spasenje do nakraj zemlje.
48 When the foreigners heard this they were overjoyed, praising the Lord's word, and all those chosen for eternal life trusted in God. (aiōnios g166)
Pogani koji su slušali radovali su se i slavili riječ Gospodnju te povjerovaše oni koji bijahu određeni za život vječni. (aiōnios g166)
49 So God's word was spread throughout the region.
Riječ se pak Gospodnja pronese po svoj onoj pokrajini.
50 But the Jews incited the prominent religious women and leaders of the city to persecute Paul and Barnabas, and had them expelled from their territory.
Ali Židovi potakoše ugledne bogobojazne žene i prvake gradske te zametnuše progon protiv Pavla i Barnabe pa ih izbaciše iz svoga kraja.
51 So they shook the dust off their feet against them as a sign of protest, and went on to Iconium.
Oni pak stresu prašinu s nogu protiv njih pa odu u Ikonij.
52 And the believers continued to be filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
A učenici su se ispunjali radošću i Duhom Svetim.
