Acts 8
1 But Shaol willed to take part in his killing. And there was made in those days a great persecution against the church that was in Urishlem; and they were all dispersed in the country of Jihud and also among the Shomroyee, excepting only the apostles.
Savao je pristao da se Stjepan smakne. U onaj dan navali velik progon na Crkvu u Jeruzalemu. Svi se osim apostola raspršiše po krajevima judejskim i samarijskim.
2 And faithful men laid Estephanos in his tomb, and mourned over him greatly.
Bogobojazni su ljudi pokopali Stjepana i održali veliko žalovanje za njim.
3 BUT Shaol persecuted the church of Aloha, going to the houses, and drawing men and women delivered them to the house of the bound.
Savao je pak pustošio Crkvu: ulazio je u kuće, odvlačio muževe i žene i predavao ih u tamnicu.
4 And they who were dispersed went about and preached the word of Aloha.
Oni dakle što su se raspršili obilazili su navješćujući Riječ.
5 But Philipos descended to a city of the Shomroyee, and preached concerning the Meshiha.
Filip tako siđe u grad samarijski i stade im propovijedati Krista.
6 And when they heard his word, the men who were there attended to him, and were persuaded of all that he said: for they saw the signs that he wrought.
Mnoštvo je jednodušno prihvaćalo što je Filip govorio slušajući ga i gledajući znamenja koja je činio.
7 For many whom unclean spirits possessed cried with a high voice, and they came out from them; and others, palsied and lame, were healed:
Doista, iz mnogih su opsjednutih izlazili nečisti duhovi vičući iza glasa, a ozdravljali su i mnogi uzeti i hromi.
8 and great joy was in that city.
Nasta tako velika radost u onome gradu.
9 But a certain man was there whose name was Simon, who had dwelt in that city much time, and with his sorceries had deceived the people of the Shomroyee, magnifying himself, and saying, I am the Great.
Čovjek se neki, imenom Šimun, u gradu već duže bavio čarobnjaštvom i opčaravao narod tvrdeći da je neki veliki.
10 And all inclined to him, great and small, and said, This is the great Power of Aloha.
Priklanjalo mu se sve, malo i veliko, te govorilo: “Ovaj je Snaga Božja, zvana Velika.”
11 And they were persuaded by him, because that much time by his sorceries he had astonished them.
A priklanjahu mu se jer ih je duže vremena opčaravao svojim vradžbinama.
12 But when they believed Philipos, who evangelized the kingdom of Aloha in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, they were baptized, men and women.
Ali kad povjerovaše Filipu koji navješćivaše evanđelje o kraljevstvu Božjemu i o imenu Isusa Krista, krštavahu se - muževi i žene.
13 And Simon also himself believed, and was baptized, and adhered to Philipos. And when he saw the signs and great works which were done by his hands, he wondered and was astonished.
Povjerova i Šimun te se krsti i osta uz Filipa: bio je zanesen promatrajući znamenja i čudesa koja su se događala.
14 AND when the apostles who were at Urishlem heard that the people of the Shomroyee had received the word of Aloha, they sent to them Kipha and Juhanon.
Kad su apostoli u Jeruzalemu čuli da je Samarija prigrlila riječ Božju, poslaše k njima Petra i Ivana.
15 And they went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Spirit of Holiness:
Oni siđoše i pomoliše se za njih da bi primili Duha Svetoga.
16 for he was not upon one of them yet; but they were only baptized in the name of our Lord Jeshu.
Jer još ni na koga od njih ne bijaše sišao; bijahu samo kršteni u ime Gospodina Isusa.
17 Then they laid upon them the hand, and they received the Spirit of Holiness.
Tada polagahu ruke na njih i oni primahu Duha Svetoga.
18 And when Simon saw that by the hand-laying of the apostles the Spirit of Holiness was given, he offered to them silver,
Kad Šimun vidje da se polaganjem ruku apostolskih daje Duh, ponudi apostolima novaca
19 saying, Give also to me this power, that he on whom I shall lay the hand may receive the Spirit of Holiness.
govoreći: “Dajte i meni tu moć da svatko na koga položim ruke primi Duha Svetoga.”
20 Shemun Kipha said to him, Thy silver go with thee into perdition, because thou thoughtest that the gift of Aloha with the possessions of the world might he obtained.
Petar mu odvrati: “Novac tvoj zajedno s tobom propao kad si mislio dar Božji novcima steći!
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this faith, because thine heart hath not been right before Aloha.
Nema tebi ovdje dijela ni udjela jer tvoje srce nije pravo pred Bogom!
22 Nevertheless, repent of this thy wickedness, and pray of Aloha, that the guile of thy heart may haply be forgiven thee;
Obrati se od te opakosti svoje i moli Gospodina ne bi li ti se kako oprostila namisao srca tvoga.
23 for in bitter gall and in the bonds of iniquity I see that thou art.
Ta gledam te: žučju si gorak i nepravdom okovan.”
24 Simon answered and said, Pray you on my behalf, of Aloha, that not any of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.
Šimun odgovori: “Molite i vi za me Gospodina da me ne snađe ništa od toga što rekoste!”
25 But Shemun and Juhanon, when they had testified and taught the word of Aloha, returned to Urishlem, and evangelized in many villages of the Shomroyee.
Oni pak pošto posvjedočiše i dorekoše riječ Gospodnju, vratiše se u Jeruzalem navješćujući evanđelje mnogim selima samarijskim.
26 AND the angel of the Lord spake with Philipos, and said to him, Arise, go to the south, in the desert way which goeth down from Urishlem to Gaza.
Anđeo se Gospodnji obrati Filipu: “Ustani i pođi na jug putom što iz Jeruzalema silazi u Gazu; on je pust.”
27 And arising he went. And there met him a certain eunuch who had come from Cush, an officer of Kandak, queen of the Cushoyee; and he was officer over all her treasure. And he had been to worship at Urishlem;
On usta i pođe. Odjednom eto nekog Etiopljanina, dvoranina, visokog dostojanstvenika kandake, kraljice etiopske koji bijaše nad svom njezinom riznicom.
28 and while returning that he might go, he sat in the chariot and read in Eshaia the prophet.
Vraćao se iz Jeruzalema, kamo je bio pošao pokloniti se; sjeđaše na svojim kolima i čitaše proroka Izaiju.
29 And the Spirit of Holiness said to Philipos, Approach, and join the chariot.
Duh reče Filipu: “Pođi i pridruži se tim kolima!”
30 And being near, he heard that he read in Eshaia the prophet; and he said to him, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Filip pritrča i ču gdje onaj čita Izaiju proroka pa će mu: “Razumiješ li što čitaš?”
31 And he said, How can I understand, unless one teach me? And he prayed of him, of Philipos, to ascend and sit with him.
On odvrati: “Kako bih mogao ako me tko ne uputi?” Onda zamoli Filipa da se uspne i sjedne uza nj.
32 But the section (phosuka) of the scripture in which he was reading is this: As a lamb to the slaughter was he led; And as a sheep before the shearer is silent, So opened not he his mouth in his humiliation.
A čitao je ovaj odlomak Pisma: Ko ovcu na klanje odvedoše ga, ko janje nijemo pred onim što ga striže on ne otvara svojih usta.
33 From oppression and from judgment was he led; And his age who shall recount? For his life is taken from the earth.
U poniženju sud mu je uskraćen. Naraštaj njegov tko da opiše? Da, uklonjen je sa zemlje život njegov.
34 That eunuch said Unto Philipos, I pray thee, of whom speaketh this the prophet? of himself, or of another man?
Dvoranin se obrati Filipu pa će mu: “Molim te, o kome to prorok govori? O sebi ili o kome drugom?
35 Then Philipos opened his mouth and began, from that very scripture, preaching to him concerning our Lord Jeshu.
Filip prozbori te mu, pošavši od toga Pisma, navijesti evanđelje: Isusa.
36 And as they went in the way they came to a certain place which had water in it, and that eunuch said, Behold the water; what is the hinderance that I should be baptized?
Putujući tako, stigoše do neke vode pa će dvoranin: “Evo vode! Što priječi da se krstim?”
38 And he commanded that the chariot should stand; and they descended both of them to the water, and Philipos baptized that eunuch.
Zapovjedi da kola stanu pa obojica, Filip i dvoranin, siđoše u vodu te ga Filip krsti.
39 And when they had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord rapt away Philipos, and the eunuch again saw him not; but he went on his way rejoicing.
A kad iziđoše iz vode, Duh Gospodnji ugrabi Filipa te ga dvoranin više ne vidje. On radosno nastavi svojim putom,
40 But Philipos was found at Azotos, and from thence he itinerated and evangelized in all the cities until he came to Cesarea.
a Filip se nađe u Azotu. I kako je prolazio, navješćivaše evanđelje svim gradovima dok ne stiže u Cezareju.
