Acts 25
1 Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
Fest dakle tri dana nakon dolaska u provinciju uziđe iz Cezareje u Jeruzalem.
2 and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews disclosed to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him,
Veliki mu svećenici i prvaci židovski izniješe tužbu protiv Pavla te ga zaklinjahu
3 asking favor against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.
ištući milost protiv Pavla: da ga pošalje u Jeruzalem. Jer spremali su zasjedu da ga putom smaknu.
4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and is himself about to go forth speedily,
Ali Fest odvrati kako Pavao treba da ostane zatvoren u Cezareji, a i on da će uskoro onamo.
5 “Therefore those able among you,” he says, “having come down together, if there be anything in this man—let them accuse him”;
“Ovlašteni dakle među vama, reče, neka sa mnom siđu pa ako na tom čovjeku ima krivnje, neka ga tuže.”
6 and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the next day having sat on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought;
Pošto se u njih zadrži najviše osam ili deset dana, siđe u Cezareju. Sutradan sjede na sudačku stolicu i zapovjedi da se dovede Pavao.
7 and he having come, there stood around the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem—many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,
Kad se on pojavi, okružiše ga Židovi koji su sišli iz Jeruzalema i izniješe protiv njega mnoge i teške optužbe kojih ne mogahu dokazati.
8 he making defense, [said, ] “Neither in regard to the Law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar—did I commit any sin.”
Pavao se branio: “Ničim se nisam ogriješio ni o židovski Zakon, ni o Hram, ni o cara.”
9 And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favor, answering Paul, said, “Are you willing, having gone up to Jerusalem, to be judged before me there concerning these things?”
Nato Fest hoteći ugoditi Židovima, odvrati Pavlu: “Hoćeš li u Jeruzalem da ti se ondje za to sudi preda mnom?”
10 And Paul said, “At the judgment seat of Caesar I am standing, where it is necessary for me to be judged; I did no unrighteousness to Jews, as you also very well know;
A Pavao će: “Stojim pred sudom carevim, gdje treba da mi se sudi. Židovima ništa ne skrivih, kao što i ti veoma dobro znaš.
11 for if I am indeed unrighteous, and have done anything worthy of death, I do not deprecate to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favor of me to them; I appeal to Caesar!”
Ako sam pak doista što skrivio i učinio štogod što zavređuje smrt, ne izmičem smrti; ako li pak ne stoji ono za što me ovi tuže, nitko me ne može njima izručiti. Na cara se prizivljem!”
12 Then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, “To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you will go.”
Tada se Fest posavjetova s vijećem pa odgovori: “Na cara si se prizvao, pred cara ćeš ići!”
13 And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea greeting Festus,
Nekoliko dana poslije dođu kralj Agripa i Berenika u Cezareju da pozdrave Festa.
14 and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, “There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner,
Kako se ondje zadržaše nekoliko dana, izloži Fest kralju to o Pavlu: “Ima neki čovjek, reče, što ga je Feliks ostavio uznikom.
15 about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,
Kad bijah u Jeruzalemu, izniješe veliki svećenici i starješine protiv njega tužbu i zatražiše osudu.
16 to whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favor of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defense in regard to the charge laid against [him].
Odgovorih im da u Rimljana nije običaj izručivati kojega čovjeka prije negoli se, optužen, suoči s tužiteljima i dobije prigodu da se brani od optužbe.
17 They, therefore, having come together—I, making no delay, on the succeeding [day] having sat on the judgment seat, commanded the man to be brought,
Pošto zajedno dođosmo ovamo, bez ikakva odgađanja sjedoh ja sutradan na sudačku stolicu i zapovjedih dovesti toga čovjeka.
18 concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of,
Tužitelji ga okružiše, ali ne izniješe tužbe ni za jedno od zlodjela koja sam ja naslućivao,
19 but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;
nego su protiv njega imali nešto prijeporno o svojoj vjeri i o nekom Isusu koji je umro, a Pavao tvrdi da je živ.
20 and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, asked if he was willing to go on to Jerusalem, and to be judged there concerning these things—
Ne snalazeći se u takvoj raspravi, upitah bi li htio u Jeruzalem da mu se ondje za to sudi.
21 but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I commanded him to be kept until I might send him to Caesar.”
Budući da se Pavao prizivom podložio presudi njegova Veličanstva, zapovjedih da ga čuvaju dok ga ne pošaljem caru.”
22 And Agrippa said to Festus, “I was also intending to hear the man myself”; and he said, “Tomorrow you will hear him”;
Na to će Agripa Festu: “Htio bih i ja čuti toga čovjeka.” “Sutra ćeš ga, reče, čuti.”
23 on the next day, therefore—on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered—Paul was brought forth.
Sutradan dakle dođu Agripa i Berenika s velikim sjajem te uđu u dvoranu zajedno s tisućnicima i najuglednijim gradskim muževima. Kad na zapovijed Festovu dovedu Pavla,
24 And Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, you see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer;
reče Fest: “Agripa, kralju, i vi svi ovdje s nama nazočni, gledajte ovoga čovjeka! Zbog njega me sav narod židovski salijetao i u Jeruzalemu i ovdje vičući da on ne smije više živjeti.
25 and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him,
Ali ja nađoh da nije učinio ništa čime bi zaslužio smrt pa kad se on sam prizvao na njegovo Veličanstvo, odlučih poslati mu ga.
26 concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to [my] lord, for what reason I brought him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write;
Ja nemam ništa pouzdano o njemu napisati Gospodaru. Zato ga izvedoh pred vas, ponajpače preda te, kralju Agripa, da bih nakon ove istrage imao što napisati.
27 for it seems to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not to also signify the charges against him.”
Čini mi se doista besmislenim poslati uznika, a ne naznačiti optužbu protiv njega.”
