Acts 1
1 THE former treatise, Theophilus, I composed, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Prvu sam knjigu, Teofile, sastavio o svemu što je Isus činio i učio
2 until that day, when having given a charge to his apostles through the Holy Ghost, whom he had chosen, he was taken up:
do dana kad je uznesen pošto je dao upute apostolima koje je izabrao po Duhu Svetome.
3 to whom also he had shewed himself alive, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, during forty days being frequently seen by them, and speaking of the things which relate to the kingdom of God:
Njima je poslije svoje muke mnogim dokazima pokazao da je živ, četrdeset im se dana ukazivao i govorio o kraljevstvu Božjem.
4 and assembling them together, commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye have heard from me.
I dok je jednom s njima blagovao, zapovjedi im da ne napuštaju Jeruzalema, nego neka čekaju Obećanje Očevo “koje čuste od mene:
5 For John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost not many days after the present.
Ivan je krstio vodom, a vi ćete naskoro nakon ovih dana biti kršteni Duhom Svetim.”
6 They then accordingly assembling together, asked him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time reestablish the kingdom of Israel?
Nato ga sabrani upitaše: “Gospodine, hoćeš li u ovo vrijeme Izraelu opet uspostaviti kraljevstvo?”
7 But he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times and the seasons, which the Father hath reserved under his own authority.
On im odgovori: “Nije vaše znati vremena i zgode koje je Otac podredio svojoj vlasti.
8 But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses for me, both in Jerusalem, and throughout all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the extremity of the earth.
Nego primit ćete snagu Duha Svetoga koji će sići na vas i bit ćete mi svjedoci u Jeruzalemu, po svoj Judeji i Samariji i sve do kraja zemlje.”
9 And as he was speaking these things, while they were looking upon him, he was taken up; and a cloud enveloping him hid him from their eyes.
Kada to reče, bi uzdignut njima naočigled i oblak ga ote njihovim očima.
10 And as they looked up earnestly into the heaven, while he was passing, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
I dok su netremice gledali kako on odlazi na nebo, gle, dva čovjeka stadoše kraj njih u bijeloj odjeći
11 who also said to them, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in the same manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
i rekoše im: “Galilejci, što stojite i gledate u nebo? Ovaj Isus koji je od vas uznesen na nebo isto će tako doći kao što ste vidjeli da odlazi na nebo.”
12 Then they returned unto Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, about a sabbath-day’s journey distant.
Onda se vratiše u Jeruzalem s brda zvanoga Maslinsko, koje je blizu Jeruzalema, udaljeno jedan subotni hod.
13 And when they had arrived, they went up to an upper room, where abode Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealous, and Jude brother to James.
I pošto uđu u grad, uspnu se u gornju sobu gdje su boravili: Petar i Ivan i Jakov i Andrija, Filip i Toma, Bartolomej i Matej, Jakov Alfejev i Šimun Revnitelj i Juda Jakovljev -
14 These all persevered unanimously in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
svi oni bijahu jednodušno postojani u molitvi sa ženama, i Marijom, majkom Isusovom, i braćom njegovom.
15 And in those days arose Peter in the midst of the disciples, and said, (there was a number of persons together, about an hundred and twenty, )
U one dane ustade Petar među braćom - a bijaše sakupljenog naroda oko sto i dvadeset duša - i reče:
16 Men and brethren, it must needs be that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost delivered before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the conductor of those who seized on Jesus.
“Braćo! Trebalo je da se ispuni Pismo što ga na usta Davidova proreče Duh Sveti o Judi koji bijaše vođa onih što uhvatiše Isusa.
17 For he was reckoned of our number, and had obtained an appointment to this ministry.
A Juda se ubrajao među nas i imao udio u ovoj službi.
18 This man indeed accordingly purchased a spot of ground with the wages of iniquity; and projected forward, he burst in the midst, and all his bowels fell out.
On, eto, steče predio cijenom nepravednosti pa se stropošta, raspuče po sredini i razli mu se sva utroba.
19 And it was a fact known to all who dwelt at Jerusalem; so that this field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, The field of blood.
I svim je Jeruzalemcima znano da se onaj predio njihovim jezikom zove Akeldama, to jest Predio smrti.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let there be no man to dwell in it: and his office, as bishop, let another take.
Pisano je doista u Knjizi psalama: Njegova kuća nek opusti, nek ne bude stanovnika u njoj! Njegovo nadgledništvo nek dobije drugi!
21 Wherefore from among the men who have associated with us always during the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Jedan dakle od ovih ljudi što bijahu s nama za sve vrijeme što je među nama živio Gospodin Isus -
22 beginning from his baptism by John, until the day in which he was taken up from us, must there be chosen with us a witness of his resurrection, even one of these.
počevši od krštenja Ivanova pa sve do dana kad bi uzet od nas - treba da bude svjedokom njegova uskrsnuća.
23 So they appointed two persons, Joseph called Barsabas, whose sirname was Justus, and Matthias.
I postaviše dvojicu: Josipa koji se zvao Barsaba a prozvao se Just, i Matiju.
24 And joining in prayer, they said, Do thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, point out the one of these two which thou hast chosen,
Onda se pomoliše: “Ti, Gospodine, poznavaoče svih srdaca, pokaži koga si od ove dvojice izabrao
25 to take a part in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, to go to his own place.
da primi mjesto ove apostolske službe kojoj se iznevjeri Juda da ode na svoje mjesto.”
26 And they drew lots for them and the lot fell to Matthias and he was by unanimous suffrage numbered with the eleven apostles.
Onda baciše kocke i kocka pade na Matiju; tako bi pribrojen jedanaestorici apostola.
