Acts 6
1 And in those dayes, as the nomber of ye disciples grewe, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians towards ye Hebrewes, because their widowes were neglected in the dayly ministring.
U one dane, kako se broj učenika množio, Židovi grčkog jezika stadoše mrmljati protiv domaćih Židova što se u svagdanjem služenju zanemaruju njihove udovice.
2 Then the twelue called the multitude of the disciples together, and sayd, It is not meete that we should leaue the worde of God to serue the tables.
Dvanaestorica nato sazvaše mnoštvo učenika i rekoše: “Nije pravo da mi napustimo riječ Božju da bismo služili kod stolova.
3 Wherefore brethren, looke ye out among you seuen men of honest report, and full of the holy Ghost, and of wisedome, which we may appoint to this busines.
De pronađite, braćo, između sebe sedam muževa na dobru glasu, punih Duha i mudrosti. Njih ćemo postaviti nad ovom službom,
4 And we will giue our selues continually to prayer, and to the ministration of the worde.
a mi ćemo se posvetiti molitvi i posluživanju Riječi.”
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Steuen a man full of fayth and of the holy Ghost, and Philippe, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a Proselyte of Antiochia,
Prijedlog se svidje svemu mnoštvu pa izabraše Stjepana, muža puna vjere i Duha Svetoga, zatim Filipa, Prohora, Nikanora, Timona, Parmenu te antiohijskog pridošlicu Nikolu.
6 Which they set before the Apostles: and they prayed, and layed their hands on them.
Njih postave pred apostole, a oni pomolivši se, polože na njih ruke.
7 And the worde of God increased, and the nomber of the disciples was multipled in Hierusalem greatly, and a great company of the Priests were obedient to the faith.
I riječ je Božja rasla, uvelike se množio broj učenika u Jeruzalemu i veliko je mnoštvo svećenika prihvaćalo vjeru.
8 Now Steuen full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
Stjepan je pun milosti i snage činio velika čudesa i znamenja u narodu.
9 Then there arose certaine of the Synagogue, which are called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, and disputed with Steuen.
Nato se digoše neki iz takozvane sinagoge Slobodnjaka, Cirenaca, Aleksandrinaca te onih iz Cilicije i Azije pa počeše raspravljati sa Stjepanom,
10 But they were not able to resist the wisdome, and the Spirit by the which he spake.
ali nisu mogli odoljeti mudrosti i Duhu kojim je govorio.
11 Then they suborned men, which saide, We haue heard him speake blasphemous wordes against Moses, and God.
Onda podmetnuše neke ljude koji rekoše: “Čuli smo ga govoriti pogrdne riječi protiv Mojsija i Boga.”
12 Thus they mooued the people and the Elders, and the Scribes: and running vpon him, caught him, and brought him to the Councill,
Podjare i narod, starješine i pismoznance pa priđu, zgrabe ga i odvuku u Vijeće.
13 And set forth false witnesses, which sayd, This man ceasseth not to speake blasphemous wordes against this holy place, and the Law.
Ondje namjestiše lažne svjedoke koji rekoše: “Ovaj čovjek neprestance govori protiv svetog Mjesta i Zakona.
14 For we haue heard him say, that this Iesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the ordinances, which Moses gaue vs.
Čuli smo ga doista govoriti: 'Isus Nazarećanin razvalit će ovo Mjesto i izmijeniti običaje koje nam predade Mojsije'.”
15 And as all that sate in the Councill, looked stedfastly on him, they saw his face as it had bene the face of an Angel.
A svi koji su sjedili u Vijeću upriješe pogled u Stjepana te opaziše - lice mu kao u anđela.
