Acts 17
1 And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where the synagogue of the Jews was,
Prošavši kroz Amfipol i Apoloniju, stigoše u Solun, gdje bijaše židovska sinagoga.
2 and according to the custom of Paul, he went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings,
Po običaju uđe Pavao onamo. Tri je subote s njima raspravljao na temelju Pisama.
3 opening and alleging that it was necessary [for] the Christ to suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that “this is the Christ—Jesus whom I proclaim to you.”
Tumačio je i izlagao: “Trebalo je da Krist trpi i uskrsne od mrtvih. Taj Krist jest Isus koga vam ja navješćujem.”
4 And certain of them believed, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also a great multitude of the worshiping Greeks, also not a few of the principal women.
Neki se od njih uvjeriše pa se pridružiše Pavlu i Sili; tako i veliko mnoštvo bogobojaznih Grka i nemalo uglednih žena.
5 And the Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to themselves certain evil men of the agitators, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having also assailed the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring [them] to the populace,
Židove nato spopade zavist pa pridobiše neke opake uličnjake, potakoše ih i pobuniše grad te nahrupiše u kuću Jasonovu tražeći da se Pavao i Sila izvedu pred narod.
6 and having not found them, they drew Jason and certain brothers to the city rulers, calling aloud, “These, having put the world in commotion, are also present here,
Kako ih ne nađoše, odvukoše Jasona i neke od braće pred gradske glavare vičući: “Evo i ovdje onih koji pobuniše sav svijet.
7 whom Jason has received; and all these do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king—Jesus.”
Jason ih je ugostio. Svi oni rade protiv carskih odredaba: tvrde da postoji drugi kralj - Isus.”
8 And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,
Time uzbuniše svjetinu i glavare koji su to čuli
9 and having taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
te oni od Jasona i ostalih uzeše jamčevinu pa ih pustiše.
10 And the brothers immediately, through the night, sent forth both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having come, went into the synagogue of the Jews;
Braća su pak brže-bolje noću odaslala Pavla i Silu u Bereju. Kad su stigli, odoše u židovsku sinagogu.
11 and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Writings every day [to see] whether those things were so;
Ovi su Židovi bili plemenitiji od solunskih: primili su Riječ sa svom spremnošću i danomice istraživali Pisma, da li je to tako.
12 therefore, many of them, indeed, believed, and not a few of the honorable Greek women and men.
Mnogi od njih stoga povjerovaše, a tako i nemalo uglednih grčkih žena i muževa.
13 And when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that also in Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came there also, agitating the multitudes;
Ali kad su solunski Židovi doznali da Pavao i u Bereji navješćuje riječ Božju, odoše te i ondje podjariše i uzbuniše svjetinu.
14 and then immediately the brothers sent forth Paul, to go on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timotheus were remaining there.
Braća tada brže-bolje uputiše Pavla k moru. Sila pak i Timotej ostadoše ondje.
15 And those conducting Paul, brought him to Athens, and having received a command to Silas and Timotheus that with all speed they may come to him, they departed;
Pratioci dovedoše Pavla do Atene pa se vratiše noseći Sili i Timoteju zapovijed da što prije dođu k njemu.
16 and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,
Dok ih je u Ateni iščekivao, ogorči se Pavao u duši promatrajući kako je grad pokumiren.
17 therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshiping persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met with him.
Međutim raspravljaše u sinagogi sa Židovima i bogobojaznima, a na trgu svaki dan s onima koji bi se ondje zatekli.
18 And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, “What would this seed picker wish to say?” And others, “He seems to be an announcer of strange demons”; because he proclaimed to them Jesus and the resurrection as good news,
Dobacivahu mu i neki od epikurejskih i stoičkih filozofa. Jedni su govorili: “Što bi htjela reći ta čavka?” Drugi pak: “Navješćuje, čini se, neke tuđe bogove.” Jer navješćivaše Isusa i uskrsnuće.
19 having also taken him, they brought [him] to the Areopagus, saying, “Are we able to know what this new teaching [is] that is spoken by you,
Onda su ga uzeli i odveli na Areopag i upitali: “Bismo li mogli znati kakav to nov nauk naučavaš?
20 for you bring certain strange things to our ears? We resolve, then, to know what these things would wish to be”;
Čudnovatim nam nekim tvrdnjama uši puniš. Željeli bismo stoga znati što bi to imalo biti.”
21 and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
Nijedan Atenjanin ni doseljeni stranac ni na što drugo ne trati vrijeme nego na pripovijedanje i slušanje novosti.
22 And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, “Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;
Tada Pavao stade posred Areopaga i reče: “Atenjani! U svemu ste, vidim, nekako veoma bogoljubni.
23 for passing through and contemplating your objects of worship, I also found an altar on which had been inscribed: To God—unknown; whom, therefore—not knowing—you worship, this One I announce to you.
Doista, prolazeći i promatrajući vaše svetinje nađoh i žrtvenik s natpisom: Nepoznatom Bogu. Što dakle ne poznajete, a štujete, to vam ja navješćujem.”
24 God, who made the world, and all things in it, this One, being Lord of Heaven and of earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
“Bog koji stvori svijet i sve na njemu, on, neba i zemlje Gospodar, ne prebiva u rukotvorenim hramovima;
25 neither is He served by the hands of men—needing anything, He giving life to all, and breath, and all things;
i ne poslužuju ga ljudske ruke, kao da bi što trebao, on koji svima daje život, dah i - sve.
26 He also made every nation of man of one blood, to dwell on all the face of the earth—having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings—
Od jednoga sazda cijeli ljudski rod da prebiva po svem licu zemlje; ustanovi određena vremena i međe prebivanja njihova
27 to seek the LORD, if perhaps they felt after Him and found, though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,
da traže Boga, ne bi li ga kako napipali i našli. Ta nije daleko ni od koga od nas.
28 for in Him we live, and move, and are; as certain of your poets have also said: For we are also His offspring.
U njemu doista živimo, mičemo se i jesmo, kao što i neki od vaših pjesnika rekoše: “Njegov smo čak i rod!”
29 Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, [an] engraving of art and imagination of man;
“Ako smo dakle rod Božji, ne smijemo smatrati da je božanstvo slično zlatu, srebru ili kamenu, liku isklesanu umijećem i maštom ljudskom.”
30 therefore indeed God, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to convert,
“I ne obazirući se na vremena neznanja, nutka sada Bog ljude da se svi i posvuda obrate
31 because He set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a Man whom He ordained, having given assurance to all, having raised Him out of the dead.”
jer ustanovi Dan u koji će suditi svijetu po pravdi, po Čovjeku kojega odredi, pred svima ovjerovi uskrisivši ga od mrtvih.”
32 And having heard of a resurrection of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, “We will hear you again concerning this”;
Kad čuše “uskrsnuće od mrtvih”, jedni se stadoše rugati, a drugi rekoše: “Još ćemo te o tom slušati!”
33 and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
Tako se Pavao povuče od njih.
34 and certain men having cleaved to him, believed, among whom [is] also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them.
Neki ipak prionuše uza nj i povjerovaše; među njima i Dionizije Areopagit, neka žena imenom Damara i drugi s njima.
