Acts 7
1 And the high-priest said, Are then these things so?
Veliki svećenik upita: “Je li to tako?”
2 And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
Stjepan odgovori: “Braćo i oci, čujte! Bog slave ukaza se ocu našemu Abrahamu dok bijaše u Mezopotamiji, prije negoli se nastani u Haranu,
3 and said to him, “Go forth from thy country and thy kindred, and come into the land which I will show thee.”
i reče mu: Iziđi iz zemlje svoje, iz zavičaja svoga, hajde u zemlju koju ću ti pokazati.
4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran; and from thence, after his father was dead, he caused him to remove into this land wherein ye now dwell;
On nato iziđe iz zemlje kaldejske i nastani se u Haranu. Odande ga nakon smrti oca njegova Bog preseli u ovu zemlju u kojoj vi sada boravite.
5 and he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on; and he promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no child.
U njoj mu ne dade ni stope baštine, nego obeća dati je u posjed njemu i potomstvu njegovu nakon njega, premda još nije imao djeteta.
6 And God spoke in this manner: “That his posterity should sojourn in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage, and ill-treat them four hundred years;
Bog isto tako reče da će potomci njegovi biti pridošlice u zemlji tuđoj, da će ih porobljavati i tlačiti četiri stotine godina.
7 and the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge,” said God; “and after that they shall come forth, and shall worship me in this place.”
Ali narod kojemu budu robovali ja ću suditi, reče Bog. A nakon toga izići će i iskazati mi štovanje na ovome mjestu.
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
Dade mu i Savez obrezanja. Tako rodi Izaka i obreza ga osmi dan, Izak Jakova, Jakov dvanaest rodozačetnika.”
9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
“Rodozačetnici pak, iz zavisti, Josipa predadoše u Egipat. Ali Bog bijaše s njim
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt, and all his house.
te ga izbavljaše iz svih nevolja, podari ga naklonošću i mudrošću pred faraonom, kraljem egipatskim koji ga postavi za upravitelja nad Egiptom i nad cijelim dvorom svojim.
11 Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress; and our fathers found no Sustenance.
Onda u cijeloj zemlji egipatskoj i kanaanskoj nasta glad i nevolja velika: oci naši ne mogahu naći hrane.
12 But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers first.
Kad Jakov doču da u Egiptu ima žita, posla onamo najprije oce naše.
13 And at the second time Joseph was recognized by his brothers, and the kindred of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
Drugi se put Josip očitova braći svojoj pa faraon dozna za podrijetlo Josipovo.
14 Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy five souls.
Josip tada posla po Jakova, oca svoga, i svu rodbinu, sedamdeset i pet duša.
15 And Jacob went down [[into Egypt]], and died, he and our fathers.
Jakov tako siđe u Egipat. I umrije on i oci naši.
16 And they were removed to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.
Preneseni su u Sihem i položeni u grob koji je Abraham za srebro kupio od sinova Hamorovih u Sihemu.”
17 But as the time of the promise drew near, which God solemnly made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
“Kako se bližilo vrijeme obećanja koje Bog obreče Abrahamu, rastao je u Egiptu narod i množio se
18 until another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
dok ondje ne zavlada drugi kralj koji nije poznavao Josipa.
19 The same dealt subtly with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, so that they should cast out their infants, that they might not be preserved alive.
Lukav prema rodu našemu, tlačio je on oce naše da bi djecu svoju izlagali da ne ostanu na životu.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly fair; who was nourished in his father's house three months.
U taj se čas rodi Mojsije. Bijaše božanski lijep. Tri je mjeseca hranjen u kući očinskoj,
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for herself as a son.
a onda, kad je bio izložen, prigrli ga kći faraonova i othrani sebi za sina.
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his worlds and deeds.
Tako Mojsije, odgojen u svoj mudrosti egipatskoj, bijaše silan na riječima i djelima.”
23 And when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.
“Kad mu bijaše četrdeset godina, ponuka ga srce da pohodi braću svoju, sinove Izraelove.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed by smiting the Egyptian.
I kad vidje kako je jednomu nanesena nepravda, suprotstavi se i osveti zlostavljenoga ubivši Egipćanina.
25 For he supposed his brethren would understand that God through his hand would give them salvation; but they understood not.
Mislio je da će braća njegova shvatiti kako će im Bog po njegovoj ruci pružiti spasenje, ali oni ne shvatiše.
26 And the next day he showed himself to them as they were contending, and urged them to peace, saying, Ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one another?
Sutradan se pojavi pred onima koji su se tukli te ih stade nagovarati da se izmire: 'Ljudi, braća ste! Zašto zlostavljate jedan drugoga?'
27 But he who was wronging his neighbor thrust him away, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Ali ga onaj što je zlostavljao svoga bližnjega odbi riječima: Tko te postavi glavarom i sucem nad nama?
28 Dost thou mean to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday?”
Kaniš li ubiti i mene kao što si jučer ubio onog Egipćanina?
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
Na te riječi pobježe Mojsije i skloni se u zemlju midjansku, gdje mu se rodiše dva sina.”
30 And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai an angel in the flaming fire of a bush.
“Nakon četrdeset godina ukaza mu se Anđeo u pustinji brda Sinaja u rasplamtjeloj vatri jednoga grma.
31 And Moses seeing it wondered at the sight; and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came [[to him]],
Opazivši to, zadivi se Mojsije viđenju. Dok je prilazio da bolje promotri, eto glasa Gospodnjega:
32 saying, “I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.” And Moses trembled and durst not behold.
Ja sam Bog Otaca tvojih, Bog Abrahamov, Izakov i Jakovljev. Sav preplašen, Mojsije se ne usudi pogledati.
33 And the Lord said to him, “Loose the sandals from thy feet; for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
A Gospodin će mu: Izuj obuću s nogu! Jer mjesto na kojem stojiš, sveto je tlo.
34 I have surely seen the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them; and now, come, I will send thee into Egypt.”
Vidio sam, vidio nevolju naroda svoga u Egiptu i uzdisaj mu čuo pa siđoh izbaviti ga. I sad hajde! Šaljem te u Egipat!”
35 This Moses, whom they denied, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge?” this very man did God send both as a ruler and a redeemer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
“Toga Mojsija - kojega su se odrekli rekavši: Tko te postavi glavarom i sucem? - toga im Bog kao glavara i otkupitelja posla po Anđelu koji mu se ukaza u grmu.
36 This very man brought them out, working wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
On ih izvede učinivši čudesa i znamenja u zemlji egipatskoj, u Crvenome moru i u pustinji kroz četrdeset godina.
37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, “A prophet will God raise up to you from among your brethren, as he raised up me.”
To je onaj Mojsije koji reče sinovima Izraelovim: Proroka poput mene od vaše braće podići će vam Bog.
38 This is he that was in the assembly in the wilderness with the anger who spake to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received the living oracles to give to us;
To je onaj koji za skupa u pustinji bijaše između Anđela što mu govoraše na brdu Sinaju i otaca naših; onaj koji je primio riječi životne da ih nama preda.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
Njemu se ne htjedoše pokoriti oci naši, nego ga odbiše i u srcima se svojima vratiše u Egipat
40 saying to Aaron, “Make us gods who shall go before us; for as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.”
rekavši Aronu: 'Napravi nam bogove koji će ići pred nama! Ta ne znamo što se dogodi s tim Mojsijem koji nas izvede iz zemlje egipatske.'
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Tele načiniše u dane one, prinesoše žrtvu tom kumiru i veseljahu se djelima ruku svojih.
42 But God turned away, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the Prophets, “Did ye offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices for forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Bog se pak odvrati i prepusti ih da časte vojsku nebesku, kao što piše u Knjizi proročkoj: Prinosiste li mi žrtve i prinose četrdeset godina u pustinji, dome Izraelov?
43 And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, the figures which ye made to worship them; and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.”
Poprimiste šator Molohov i zvijezdu boga Refana - likove koje napraviste da biste im se klanjali. Odvest ću vas stoga u progonstvo onkraj Babilona!”
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, as he that spoke to Moses commanded that he should make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
“Oci naši imahu u pustinji Šator svjedočanstva kako odredi Onaj koji reče Mojsiju da se on načini po praliku koji je vidio.
45 which also our fathers received and brought in with Joshua, at their taking possession of the gentiles whom God drove out from before our fathers, until the days of David;
Taj su Šator preuzeli oci naši i pod Jošuom ga unijeli u posjed s kojega Bog pred licem njihovim rastjera narode. Tako bijaše sve do dana Davida,
46 who found favor before God, and asked that he might find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
koji je našao milost pred Bogom te molio da nađe boravište Bogu Jakovljevu.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Istom Salomon izgradi mu Dom.
48 Yet the Most High dwelleth not in [[temples]] made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Ali Svevišnji u rukotvorinama ne prebiva, kao što veli prorok:
49 “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What house will ye build for me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my rest?
Nebesa su moje prijestolje, a zemlja podnožje nogama. Kakav dom da mi sagradite, govori Gospodin, i gdje da bude mjesto mog počinka?
50 Did not my hands make all these things?”
Nije li ruka moja načinila sve to?
51 Stiffnecked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears! ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do ye.
Tvrdovrati i neobrezanih srdaca i ušiju, vi se uvijek opirete Duhu Svetomu: kako oci vaši tako i vi!
52 Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they slew those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, of whom ye have now become the betrayers and murderers;
Kojega od proroka nisu progonili oci vaši? I pobiše one koji su unaprijed navijestili dolazak Pravednika čiji ste vi sada izdajice i ubojice,
53 ye who received the Law as ordained through angels, and did not keep it.
vi koji po anđeoskim uredbama primiste Zakon, ali ga se niste držali.”
54 But when they heard these things, their hearts were filled with rage, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
Kad su to čuli, uskipješe u srcima i počeše škripati zubima na njega.
55 But, being full of the Holy Spirit, he looked up earnestly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Ali on, pun Duha Svetoga, uprije pogled u nebo i ugleda slavu Božju i Isusa gdje stoji zdesna Bogu
56 and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
pa reče: “Evo vidim nebesa otvorena i Sina Čovječjega gdje stoji zdesna Bogu.”
57 And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Vičući iza glasa, oni zatisnuše uši i navališe jednodušno na njega.
58 and having cast him out of the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul;
Izbaciše ga iz grada pa ga kamenovahu. Svjedoci odložiše haljine do nogu mladića koji se zvao Savao.
59 and they stoned Stephen, making supplication, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
I dok su ga kamenovali, Stjepan je zazivao: “Gospodine Isuse, primi duh moj!”
60 And kneeling down he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And saying this, he fell asleep.
Onda se baci na koljena i povika iza glasa: “Gospodine, ne uzmi im ovo za grijeh!” Kada to reče, usnu.
