Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
Prvu sam knjigu, Teofile, sastavio o svemu što je Isus činio i učio
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles 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 showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining 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 while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye 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 baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Ivan je krstio vodom, a vi ćete naskoro nakon ovih dana biti kršteni Duhom Svetim.”
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Nato ga sabrani upitaše: “Gospodine, hoćeš li u ovo vrijeme Izraelu opet uspostaviti kraljevstvo?”
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
On im odgovori: “Nije vaše znati vremena i zgode koje je Otac podredio svojoj vlasti.
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end 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 having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Kada to reče, bi uzdignut njima naočigled i oblak ga ote njihovim očima.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! 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 said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going 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 to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Onda se vratiše u Jeruzalem s brda zvanoga Maslinsko, koje je blizu Jeruzalema, udaljeno jedan subotni hod.
13 And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother of 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 continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
svi oni bijahu jednodušno postojani u molitvi sa ženama, i Marijom, majkom Isusovom, i braćom njegovom.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
U one dane ustade Petar među braćom - a bijaše sakupljenog naroda oko sto i dvadeset duša - i reče:
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took 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 numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
A Juda se ubrajao među nas i imao udio u ovoj službi.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
On, eto, steče predio cijenom nepravednosti pa se stropošta, raspuče po sredini i razli mu se sva utroba.
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, 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 made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
Pisano je doista u Knjizi psalama: Njegova kuća nek opusti, nek ne bude stanovnika u njoj! Njegovo nadgledništvo nek dobije drugi!
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all 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 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
počevši od krštenja Ivanova pa sve do dana kad bi uzet od nas - treba da bude svjedokom njegova uskrsnuća.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
I postaviše dvojicu: Josipa koji se zvao Barsaba a prozvao se Just, i Matiju.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Onda se pomoliše: “Ti, Gospodine, poznavaoče svih srdaca, pokaži koga si od ove dvojice izabrao
25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.
da primi mjesto ove apostolske službe kojoj se iznevjeri Juda da ode na svoje mjesto.”
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Onda baciše kocke i kocka pade na Matiju; tako bi pribrojen jedanaestorici apostola.
