Acts 15
1 Then came downe certaine from Iudea, and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the maner of Moses, ye cannot be saued.
Uto neki siđoše iz Judeje i počeše učiti braću: “Ako se ne obrežete po običaju Mojsijevu, ne možete se spasiti.”
2 And when there was great dissension, and disputation by Paul and Barnabas against them, they ordeyned that Paul and Barnabas, and certaine other of them, should goe vp to Hierusalem vnto the Apostles and Elders about this question.
Kad između njih te Pavla i Barnabe nasta prepirka i raspra nemalena, odrediše da Pavao i Barnaba i još neki drugi između njih uzađu u Jeruzalem k apostolima i starješinama poradi tog pitanja.
3 Thus being brought forth by ye Church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conuersion of the Gentiles, and they brought great ioy vnto all the brethren.
Oni su dakle, ispraćeni od Crkve, prolazili kroz Feniciju i Samariju pripovijedajući o obraćenju pogana i donoseći svoj braći veliku radost.
4 And when they were come to Hierusalem, they were receiued of the Church, and of the Apostles and Elders, and they declared what things God had done by them.
Kada pak stigoše u Jeruzalem, primi ih Crkva, apostoli i starješine. Ispripovjediše što sve Bog učini po njima.
5 But said they, certaine of the sect of the Pharises, which did beleeue, rose vp, saying, that it was needefull to circumcise them, and to commaund them to keepe the lawe of Moses.
Onda ustanu neki od onih što iz farizejske sljedbe bijahu prigrlili vjeru pa reknu: “Treba ih obrezati i zapovjediti im da opslužuju Zakon Mojsijev.”
6 Then the Apostles and Elders came together to looke to this matter.
Nato se apostoli i starješine sastanu da to razmotre.
7 And when there had bene great disputation, Peter rose vp, and said vnto them, Ye men and brethren, ye know that a good while ago, among vs God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should heare the worde of the Gospel, and beleeue.
Nakon duge raspre ustade Petar i reče im: “Braćo, vi znate kako me Bog od najprvih dana između vas izabra da iz mojih usta pogani čuju riječ evanđelja i uzvjeruju.
8 And God which knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, in giuing vnto them ye holy Ghost euen as he did vnto vs.
I Bog, Poznavatelj srdaca, posvjedoči za njih: dade im Duha Svetoga kao i nama.
9 And he put no difference betweene vs and them, after that by faith he had purified their heartes.
Nikakve razlike nije pravio između nas i njih: vjerom očisti njihova srca.
10 Nowe therefore, why tempt ye God, to lay a yoke on the disciples neckes, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to beare?
Što dakle sada iskušavate Boga stavljajući učenicima na vrat jaram kojeg ni oci naši ni mi nismo mogli nositi?
11 But we beleeue, through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ to be saued, euen as they doe.
Vjerujemo, naprotiv: po milosti smo Gospodina Isusa spašeni, baš kao i oni.”
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signes and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.
Nato sve mnoštvo umuknu. Slušali su Barnabu i Pavla koji pripovjedahu kolika je znamenja i čudesa Bog po njima učinio među poganima.
13 And when they helde their peace, Iames answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken vnto me.
Kad oni ušutješe, progovori Jakov: “Poslušajte me, braćo!
14 Simeon hath declared, howe God first did visite the Gentiles, to take of them a people vnto his Name.
Šimun je izložio kako se Bog već na početku pobrinu između pogana uzeti narod imenu svojemu.
15 And to this agree the woordes of the Prophets, as it is written,
S time su u skladu riječi Proroka. Ovako je doista pisano:
16 After this I will returne, and will builde againe the tabernacle of Dauid, which is fallen downe, and the ruines thereof will I build againe, and I will set it vp,
Nakon toga vratit ću se i opet podići pali šator Davidov, iz ruševina ga podići, opet ga sazidati
17 That the residue of men might seeke after the Lord, and all the Gentiles vpon whom my Name is called, saith the Lord which doeth all these things.
da preostali ljudi potraže Gospodina i svi pogani na koje je zazvano ime moje, govori Gospodin, koji to
obznanjuje odvijeka. (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned to God,
Zato smatram da ne valja dodijavati onima koji se s poganstva obraćaju k Bogu,
20 But that we send vnto them, that they abstaine themselues from filthinesse of idoles, and fornication, and that that is strangled, and from blood.
nego im poručiti da se uzdržavaju od mesa okaljana idolima, od bludništva, od udavljenoga i od krvi.
21 For Moses of olde time hath in euery citie them that preache him, seeing he is read in the Synagogues euery Sabbath day.
Ta Mojsije od pradavnih naraštaja ima po gradovima propovjednike koji ga u sinagogama svake subote čitaju.”
22 Then it seemed good to the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church, to sende chosen men of their owne companie to Antiochia with Paul and Barnabas: to wit, Iudas whose surname was Barsabas and Silas, which were chiefe men among the brethren,
Tad apostoli i starješine zajedno sa svom Crkvom zaključe izabrati neke muževe između sebe i poslati ih u Antiohiju s Pavlom i Barnabom. Bijahu to Juda zvani Barsaba, i Sila, muževi vodeći među braćom.
23 And wrote letters by them after this maner, THE APOSTLES, and the Elders, and the brethren, vnto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antiochia, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, send greeting.
Po njima pošalju ovo pismo: “Apostoli i starješine, braća, braći iz poganstva po Antiohiji, Siriji i Ciliciji - pozdrav!”
24 Forasmuch as we haue heard, that certaine which went out from vs, haue troubled you with wordes, and cumbred your mindes, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keepe the Lawe: to whom we gaue no such commandement,
“Budući da smo čuli kako vas neki od naših, ali bez našega naloga, nekakvim izjavama smetoše i duše vam uznemiriše,
25 It seemed therefore good to vs, when we were come together with one accord, to send chosen men vnto you, with our beloued Barnabas and Paul,
zaključismo jednodušno izabrati neke muževe i poslati ih k vama zajedno s našim ljubljenim Barnabom i Pavlom,
26 Men that haue giuen vp their liues for the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ.
ljudima koji su svoje živote izložili za ime Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.
27 We haue therefore sent Iudas and Silas, which shall also tell you ye same things by mouth.
Šaljemo vam dakle Judu i Silu. Oni će vam i usmeno priopćiti to isto.
28 For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to vs, to lay no more burden vpon you, then these necessary things,
Zaključismo Duh Sveti i mi ne nametati vam nikakva tereta osim onoga što je potrebno:
29 That is, that ye abstaine from things offered to idoles, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keepe your selues, ye shall doe well. Fare ye well.
uzdržavati se od mesa žrtvovana idolima, od krvi, od udavljenoga i od bludništva. Budete li se toga držali, dobro ćete učiniti. Živjeli!”
30 Nowe when they were departed, they came to Antiochia, and after that they had assembled the multitude, they deliuered the Epistle.
Oni su se dakle oprostili i sišli u Antiohiju; sabrali su mnoštvo i predali pismo.
31 And when they had read it, they reioyced for the consolation.
Kad ga pročitaše, svi se obradovaše zbog ohrabrenja.
32 And Iudas and Silas being Prophets, exhorted the brethren with many wordes, and strengthened them.
Juda i Sila, i sami proroci, mnogim riječima ohrabriše i utvrdiše braću.
33 And after they had taried there a space, they were let goe in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.
Neko se vrijeme zadrže pa se onda s mirom od braće vrate onima koji ih poslaše.
34 Notwithstanding Silas thought good to abide there still.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antiochia, teaching and preaching with many other, the worde of the Lord.
A Pavao i Barnaba ostadoše u Antiohiji naučavajući i navješćujući zajedno s mnogima drugima riječ Gospodnju.
36 But after certaine dayes, Paul said vnto Barnabas, Let vs returne, and visite our brethren in euery citie, where we haue preached the worde of the Lord, and see how they doe.
Nakon nekog vremena reče Pavao Barnabi: “Vratimo se i pohodimo braću po svim gradovima u kojima smo navješćivali riječ Gospodnju, da vidimo kako su!”
37 And Barnabas counselled to take with them Iohn, called Marke.
Barnaba je htio povesti i Ivana zvanog Marko.
38 But Paul thought it not meete to take him vnto their companie, which departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the worke.
Pavao pak nije smatrao uputnim sa sobom voditi onoga koji se u Pamfiliji odvojio od njih te nije s njima pošao na djelo.
39 Then were they so stirred, that they departed asunder one from the other, so that Barnabas tooke Marke, and sailed vnto Cyprus.
Spopade ih takva ogorčenost da se raziđoše: Barnaba povede Marka i otplovi na Cipar,
40 And Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended of the brethren vnto the grace of God.
a Pavao sebi izabra Silu pa od braće povjeren milosti Gospodnjoj
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, stablishing the Churches.
proputova Siriju i Ciliciju, utvrđujući Crkve.
