Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Prošavši pak Amfipolj i Apoloniju doðoše u Solun, gdje bješe zbornica Jevrejska.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
I Pavle po obièaju svome uðe k njima, i tri subote razgovara se s njima iz pisma,
3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ."
Pokazujuæi i dokazujuæi im da je trebalo Hristos da postrada i vaskrsne iz mrtvijeh, i da ovaj Isus kojega ja, reèe, propovijedam vama, jest Hristos.
4 Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the prominent women.
I neki od njih vjerovaše, i pristaše s Pavlom i sa Silom, i od pobožnijeh Grka mnoštvo veliko, i od žena gospodskijeh ne malo.
5 But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took along some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
Ali tvrdovrati Jevreji zaviðahu, i uzevši neke zle ljude od prostoga naroda, i sabravši èetu, uzbuniše po gradu, i napadoše na kuæu Jasonovu, i tražahu ih da izvedu pred narod.
6 When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
A kad njih ne naðoše, povukoše Jasona i neke od braæe pred starješine gradske vièuæi: ovi što zamutiše vasioni svijet doðoše i ovdje,
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."
Koje Jason primi; i ovi svi rade protiv æesarevijeh zapovijesti, govoreæi da ima drugi car, Isus.
8 The crowd and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
I smutiše narod i starješine gradske koji ovo èuše.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ali kad ih Jason i ostali zadovoljiše odgovorom, pustiše ih.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
A braæa odmah noæu opraviše Pavla i Silu u Veriju. Došavši onamo uðoše u zbornicu Jevrejsku.
11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
Ovi pak bijahu plemenitiji od onijeh što žive u Solunu; oni primiše rijeè sa svijem srcem, i svaki dan istraživahu po pismu je li to tako.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Tako vjerovaše mnogi od njih, i od poštenijeh Grèkijeh žena i od ljudi ne malo.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, inciting and disturbing the crowds.
A kad razabraše Jevreji Solunski da Pavle u Veriji propovjedi rijeè Božiju, doðoše i onamo te uzdigoše i pobuniše narod.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
A braæa onda odmah opraviše Pavla da ide u primorje; a Sila i Timotije ostaše ondje.
15 But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
A pratioci dovedoše Pavla do Atine; i primivši zapovijest na Silu i Timotija da doðu k njemu što brže, vratiše se.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
A kad ih Pavle èekaše u Atini, razdraži se duh njegov u njemu gledajuæi grad pun idola;
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
I prepiraše se s Jevrejima i bogobojaznima u zbornici, i na pazaru svaki dan s onima s kojima se udešavaše.
18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be advocating foreign deities," because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
A neki od Epikurovaca i od Stojièkijeh mudaraca prepirahu se s njim; i jedni govorahu: šta hoæe ovaj besposlica? A drugi: vidi se kao da hoæe nove bogove da propovijeda. Jer im propovijedaše jevanðelje o Isusu i o vaskrseniju.
19 They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?
Pa ga uzeše i odvedoše na Areopag govoreæi: možemo li razumjeti kakva je ta nova nauka što ti kazuješ?
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean."
Jer nešto novo meæeš u naše uši; hoæemo dakle da vidimo šta æe to biti.
21 Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
A Atinjani svi i putnici iz drugijeh zemalja ne bijahu ni za što drugo nego da što novo kazuju ili slušaju.
22 Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
A Pavle stavši nasred Areopaga reèe: ljudi Atinjani! po svemu vas vidim da ste vrlo pobožni;
23 For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.
Jer prolazeæi i motreæi vaše svetinje naðoh i oltar na kome bješe napisano: Bogu nepoznatome. Kojega dakle ne znajuæi poštujete onoga vam ja propovijedam.
24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
Bog koji je stvorio svijet i sve što je u njemu, on buduæi gospodar neba i zemlje, ne živi u rukotvorenijem crkvama,
25 neither is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.
Niti prima ugaðanja od ruku èovjeèijih, kao da bi onome trebalo što koji sam daje svima život i dihanje i sve.
26 He made from one blood every nation of the human race to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,
I uèinio je da od jedne krvi sav rod èovjeèij živi po svemu licu zemaljskome, i postavio je naprijed odreðena vremena i meðe njihovoga življenja:
27 that they should seek God, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
Da traže Gospoda, ne bi li ga barem opipali i našli, premda nije daleko ni od jednoga nas;
28 'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'
Jer kroz njega živimo, i mièemo se, i jesmo; kao što i neki od vašijeh pjevaèa rekoše: jer smo i rod njegov.
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by human art and design.
Kad smo dakle rod Božij, ne treba da mislimo da je Božanstvo kao ikone zlatne ili srebrne ili kamene, koje su ljudi majstorski naèinili po smišljanju svome.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Ne gledajuæi dakle Bog na vremena neznanja, sad zapovijeda svima ljudima svuda da se pokaju;
31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to everyone by raising him from the dead."
Jer je postavio dan u koji æe suditi vasionome svijetu po pravdi preko èovjeka koga odredi, i dade svima vjeru vaskrsnuvši ga iz mrtvijeh.
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We want to hear you again concerning this."
A kad èuše vaskrsenije iz mrtvijeh, onda se jedni rugahu; a jedni rekoše: da te èujemo opet o tom.
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Tako Pavle otide izmeðu njih.
34 But some people joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
A neki ljudi pristaše uza nj i vjerovaše; meðu kojima bješe i Ðonisije Areopagitski, i žena po imenu Damara, i drugi s njima.
