Acts 16

1 He also came to Derbe and to Lystra. At Lystra he found a disciple, Timothy by name--the son of a Christian Jewess, though he had a Greek father.

Doðe pak u Dervu i u Listru, i gle, ondje bješe neki uèenik, po imenu Timotije, sin neke žene Jevrejke koja vjerovaše, a oca Grka;

2 Timothy was well spoken of by the brethren at Lystra and Iconium,

Za njega dobro svjedoèahu braæa koja bijahu u Listri i u Ikoniji.

3 and Paul desiring that he should accompany him on his journey, took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

Ovoga namisli Pavle da uzme sa sobom; i uze ga, i obreza Jevreja radi koji bijahu u onijem mjestima: jer svi znadijahu oca njegova da bješe Grk.

4 As they journeyed on from town to town, they handed to the brethren for their observance the decisions which had been arrived at by the Apostles and Elders in Jerusalem.

I kad prolažahu po gradovima, predavaše im da drže uredbe koje urediše apostoli i starješine u Jerusalimu.

5 So the Churches went on gaining a stronger faith and growing in numbers from day to day.

A crkve se utvrðivahu u vjeri, i svaki dan bivaše ih više.

6 Then Paul and his companions passed through Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the Message in the province of Asia.

A kad proðoše Frigiju i Galatijsku zemlju, zabrani im Duh sveti govoriti rijeè u Aziji.

7 When they reached the frontier of Mysia, they were about to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit this.

A kad doðoše u Misiju šæadijahu da idu u Vitiniju, i Duh ne dade.

8 So, passing along Mysia, they came to Troas.

A kad proðoše Misiju, siðoše u Troadu.

9 Here, one night, Paul saw a vision. There was a Macedonian who was standing, entreating him and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."

I Pavlu se javi utvara noæu: bješe jedan èovjek iz Maæedonije, i stajaše moleæi ga i govoreæi: doði u Maæedoniju i pomozi nam.

10 So when he had seen the vision, we immediately looked out for an opportunity of passing on into Macedonia, confidently inferring that God had called us to proclaim the Good News to the people there.

A kad vidje utvaru, odmah gledasmo da iziðemo u Maæedoniju, doznavši da nas Gospod pozva da im propovijedamo jevanðelje.

11 Accordingly we put out to sea from Troas, and ran a straight course to Samothrace. The next day we came to Neapolis,

A kad se odvezosmo iz Troade, doðosmo u Samotrak, i sjutradan u Neapolj,

12 and thence to Philippi, which is a city in Macedonia, the first in its district, a Roman colony. And there we stayed some little time.

A odande u Filibu, koje je prvi grad zemlje Maæedonije, naselje Rimsko; i u onom gradu ostasmo nekoliko dana.

13 On the Sabbath we went beyond the city gate to the riverside, where we had reason to believe that there was a place for prayer; and sitting down we talked with the women who had come together.

A u dan subotni iziðosmo iz grada k vodi gdje bješe bogomolja; i sjedavši govorismo k ženama koje se bijahu sabrale.

14 Among our hearers was one named Lydia, a dealer in purple goods. She belonged to the city of Thyateira, and was a worshipper of the true God. The Lord opened her heart, so that she gave attention to what Paul was saying.

I jedna bogobojazna žena, po imenu Lidija, iz grada Tijatirskoga, koja prodavaše skerlet, slušaše: i Gospod otvori srce njezino da pazi na rijeèi Pavlove.

15 When she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, "If in your judgement I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house." And she made us go there.

A kad se krsti ona i kuæa njezina, moljaše nas govoreæi: ako mislite da ja vjerujem Gospoda, uðite u moju kuæu i živite. I natjera nas.

16 One day, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, a slave girl met us who claimed to be inspired and was accustomed to bring her owners large profits by telling fortunes.

A dogodi se kad iðasmo na molitvu da nas srete jedna robinja koja imaše duh pogaðaèki i vraèajuæi donošaše veliki dobitak svojijem gospodarima.

17 She kept following close behind Paul and the rest of us, crying aloud, "These men are the bondservants of the Most High God, and are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."

Ova poðe za Pavlom i za nama, i vikaše govoreæi: ovi su ljudi sluge Boga najvišega, koji javljaju nama put spasenija.

18 This she persisted in for a considerable time, until Paul, wearied out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out immediately.

I ovako èinjaše mnogo dana. A kad se Pavlu dosadi, okrenu se i reèe duhu: zapovijedam ti imenom Isusa Hrista, iziði iz nje. I iziðe u taj èas.

19 But when her owners saw that their hopes of gain were gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them off to the magistrates in the public square.

A kad vidješe njezini gospodari da iziðe nad njihova dobitka, uzeše Pavla i Silu i odvukoše ih na pazar ka knezovima.

20 Then they brought them before the praetors. "These men," they said, "are creating a great disturbance in our city.

I dovedavši ih k vojvodama, rekoše: ovi su ljudi Jevreji, i mute po našemu gradu,

21 They are Jews, and are teaching customs which we, as Romans, are not permitted to adopt or practise."

I propovijedaju obièaje kojijeh nama ne valja primati ni tvoriti, jer smo Rimljani.

22 The crowd, too, joined in the outcry against them, till at length the praetors ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods;

I sleže se narod na njih, i vojvode izdriješe im haljine, i zapovjediše da ih šibaju.

23 and, after severely flogging them, they threw them into jail and bade the jailer keep them safely.

I pošto ih zdravo izbiše baciše ih u tamnicu, i zapovjediše tamnièaru da ih dobro èuva.

24 He, having received an order like that, lodged them in the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.

Primivši takovu zapovijest on ih baci u najdonju tamnicu i noge im metnu u klade.

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,

A u ponoæi bijahu Pavle i Sila na molitvi i hvaljahu Boga; a sužnji ih slušahu.

26 when suddenly there was such a violent shock of earthquake that the prison shook to its foundations. Instantly the doors all flew open, and the chains fell off from every prisoner.

A ujedanput tako se vrlo zatrese zemlja da se pomjesti temelj tamnièki; i odmah se otvoriše sva vrata i svima spadoše okovi.

27 Starting up from sleep and seeing the doors of the jail wide open, the jailer drew his sword and was on the point of killing himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

A kad se probudi tamnièar i vidje otvorena vrata tamnièka, izvadi nož i šæaše da se ubije, misleæi da su pobjegli sužnji.

28 But Paul shouted loudly to him, saying, "Do yourself no injury: we are all here.

A Pavle povika zdravo govoreæi: ne èini sebi zla nikakva, jer smo mi svi ovdje.

29 Then, calling for lights, he sprang in and fell trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas;

A on zaiskavši svijeæu uletje i drkæuæi pripade k Pavlu i Sili;

30 and, bringing them out of the prison, he exclaimed, "O sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

I izvedavši ih napolje reèe: gospodo! šta mi treba èiniti da se spasem?

31 "Believe on the Lord Jesus," they replied, "and both you and your household will be saved."

A oni rekoše: vjeruj Gospoda Isusa Hrista i spašæeš se ti i sav dom tvoj.

32 And they told the Lord's Message to him as well as to all who were in his house.

I kazaše mu rijeè Gospodnju, i svima koji su u domu njegovu.

33 Then he took them, even at that time of night, washed their wounds, and he and all his household were immediately baptized;

I uze ih u onaj sahat noæi i opra im rane; i krsti se on i svi njegovi odmah.

34 and bringing the Apostles up into his house, he spread a meal for them, and was filled with gladness, with his whole household, his faith resting on God.

I uvedavši ih u svoj dom postavi trpezu, i radovaše se sa svijem domom svojijem što vjerova Boga.

35 In the morning the praetors sent their lictors with the order, "Release those men."

A kad bi dan, poslaše vojvode pandure govoreæi: pustite ova dva èovjeka.

36 So the jailer brought Paul word, saying, "The praetors have sent orders for you to be released. Now therefore you can go, and proceed on your way in peace."

A tamnièar kaza rijeèi ove Pavlu: poslaše vojvode da se pustite; sad dakle iziðite i idite s mirom.

37 But Paul said to them, "After cruelly beating us in public, without trial, Roman citizens though we are, they have thrown us into prison, and are they now going to send us away privately? No, indeed! Let them come in person and fetch us out."

A Pavle reèe njima: izbivši nas pred narodom bez suda, ljude Rimljane, baciše u tamnicu; i sad hoæe tajno da nas puste? Nije tako, nego sami neka doðu i izvedu nas.

38 This answer the lictors took back to the praetors, who were alarmed when they were told that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.

A panduri kazaše vojvodama ove rijeèi; i uplašiše se kad èuše da su Rimljani;

39 Accordingly they came and apologized to them; and, bringing them out, asked them to leave the city.

I došavši umoliše ih, i izvedoše moleæi da iziðu iz grada.

40 Then Paul and Silas, having come out of the prison, went to Lydia's house; and, after seeing the brethren and encouraging them, they left Philippi.

A kad iziðoše iz tamnice, doðoše k Lidiji, i vidjevši braæu utješiše ih, i otidoše.
