Acts 23
1 Then Paul, fixing a steady gaze on the Sanhedrin, said, "Brethren, it is with a perfectly clear conscience that I have discharged my duties before God up to this day."
A Pavle pogledavši na skupštinu reèe: ljudi braæo! ja sa svom dobrom savjesti življeh pred Bogom do samoga ovog dana.
2 On hearing this the High Priest Ananias ordered those who were standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
A poglavar sveštenièki Ananija zapovjedi onima što stajahu kod njega da ga biju po ustima.
3 "Before long," exclaimed Paul, "God will strike you, you white-washed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me in accordance with the Law, and do you yourself actually break the Law by ordering me to be struck?"
Tada mu reèe Pavle: tebe æe Bog biti, zide okreèeni! I ti sjediš te mi sudiš po zakonu, a prestupajuæi zakon zapovijedaš da me biju.
4 "Do you rail at God's High Priest?" cried the men who stood by him.
A oni što stajahu naokolo rekoše: zar psuješ Božijeg poglavara sveštenièkoga?
5 "I did not know, brethren," replied Paul, "that he was the High Priest; for it is written, 'Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of Thy people.'"
A Pavle reèe: ne znadoh, braæo, da je poglavar sveštenièki, jer stoji napisano: starješini naroda svojega da ne govoriš ružno.
6 Noticing, however, that the Sanhedrin consisted partly of Sadducees and partly of Pharisees, he called out loudly among them, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. It is because of my hope of a resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial."
A znajuæi Pavle da je jedan dio sadukeja a drugi fariseja, povika na skupštini: ljudi braæo! ja sam farisej i sin farisejev: za nad i za vaskrsenije iz mrtvijeh doveden sam na sud.
7 These words of his caused an angry dispute between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly took different sides.
A kad on ovo reèe, postade raspra meðu sadukejima i farisejima, i razdijeli se narod.
8 For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of both.
Jer sadukeji govore da nema vaskrsenija, ni anðela ni duha; a fariseji priznaju oboje.
9 So there arose a great uproar; and some of the Scribes belonging to the sect of the Pharisees sprang to their feet and fiercely contended, saying, "We find no harm in the man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel----!"
I postade velika vika, i ustavši književnici od strane farisejske prepirahu se meðu sobom govoreæi: nikakvo zlo ne nalazimo na ovome èovjeku; ako li mu govori duh ili anðeo, da se ne suprotimo Bogu.
10 But when the struggle was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by the people, ordered the troops to go down and take him from among them by force and bring him into the barracks.
A kad posta raspra velika, pobojavši se vojvoda da Pavla ne raskinu, zapovjedi da siðu vojnici i da ga otmu izmeðu njih, i da ga odvedu u oko.
11 The following night the Lord came and stood at Paul's side, and said, "Be of good courage, for as you have borne faithful witness about me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome."
A onu noæ stade Gospod predanjga i reèe: ne boj se, Pavle, jer kao što si svjedoèio za mene u Jerusalimu, tako ti valja i u Rimu svjedoèiti.
12 Now, when daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and solemnly swore not to eat or drink till they had killed Paul.
A kad bi dan, uèiniše neki od Jevreja vijeæu i zakleše se govoreæi da neæe ni jesti ni piti dokle ne ubiju Pavla.
13 There were more than forty of them who bound themselves by this oath.
A bješe ih više od èetrdeset koji ovu kletvu uèiniše.
14 They went to the High Priests and Elders and said to them, "We have bound ourselves under a heavy curse to take no food till we have killed Paul.
Ovi pristupivši ka glavarima sveštenièkijem i starješinama, rekoše: kletvom zaklesmo se da neæemo ništa okusiti dok ne ubijemo Pavla;
15 Now therefore you and the Sanhedrin should make representations to the Tribune for him to bring him down to you, under the impression that you intend to inquire more minutely about him; and we are prepared to assassinate him before he comes near the place."
Sad dakle vi sa saborom kažite vojvodi da ga sjutra svede k vama, kao da biste htjeli doznati bolje za njega; a mi smo gotovi da ga ubijemo prije nego se on približi.
16 But Paul's sister's son heard of the intended attack upon him. So he came and went into the barracks and told Paul about it;
A sin sestre Pavlove èuvši ovu zasjedu doðe i uðe u oko i kaza Pavlu.
17 and Paul called one of the Captains and said, "Take this young man to the Tribune, for he has information to give him."
A Pavle dozvavši jednoga od kapetana reèe: ovo momèe odvedi k vojvodi, jer ima nešto da mu kaže.
18 So he took him and brought him to the Tribune, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me to him and begged me to bring this youth to you, because he has something to say to you."
A on ga uze i dovede k vojvodi, i reèe: sužanj Pavle dozva me i zamoli da ovo momèe dovedem k tebi koje ima nešto da ti govori.
19 Then the Tribune, taking him by the arm, withdrew out of the hearing of others and asked him, "What have you to tell me?"
A vojvoda uzevši ga za ruku, i otišavši nasamo, pitaše ga: šta je što imaš da mi kažeš?
20 "The Jews," he replied, "have agreed to request you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin to-morrow for the purpose of making yourself more accurately acquainted with the case.
A ono reèe: Jevreji dogovoriše se da te zamole da sjutra svedeš Pavla k njima na skupštinu, kao da bi htjeli bolje ispitati za njega;
21 I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him; and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving that promise of you."
Ali ti ih nemoj poslušati, jer ga èekaju od njih više od èetrdeset ljudi koji su se zakleli da neæe ni jesti ni piti dokle ga ne ubiju; i sad su gotovi, i èekaju tvoje obeæanje.
22 So the Tribune sent the youth home, cautioning him. "Do not let any one know that you have given me this information," he said.
A vojvoda onda otpusti momèe zapovjedivši mu: nikom ne kazuj da si mi ovo javio.
23 Then, calling to him two of the Captains, he gave his orders. "Get ready two hundred men," he said, "to march to Caesarea, with seventy cavalry and two hundred light infantry, starting at nine o'clock to-night."
I dozvavši dvojicu od kapetana reèe: pripravite mi dvjesta vojnika da idu do Æesarije, i sedamdeset konjika i dvjesta strijelaca, po treæemu sahatu noæi.
24 He further told them to provide horses to mount Paul on, so as to bring him safely to Felix the Governor.
I neka dovedu konje da posade Pavla, i da ga prate do Filiksa sudije.
25 He also wrote a letter of which these were the contents:
I napisa poslanicu u kojoj ovako govoraše:
26 "Claudius Lysias to his Excellency, Felix the Governor: all good wishes.
Od Klaudija Lisije èestitome Filiksu pozdravlje.
27 This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and they were on the point of killing him, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, for I had been informed that he was a Roman citizen.
Èovjeka ovoga uhvatiše Jevreji i šæahu da ga ubiju; ja pak doðoh s vojnicima i oteh ga doznavši da je Rimljanin.
28 And, wishing to know with certainty the offense of which they were accusing him, I brought him down into their Sanhedrin,
I želeæi doznati uzrok za koji ga krive svedoh ga na njihovu skupštinu.
29 and I discovered that the charge had to do with questions of their Law, but that he was accused of nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment.
Tada naðoh da ga krive za pitanja zakona njihova, a da nema nikakve krivice koja zaslužuje smrt ili okove.
30 But now that I have received information of an intended attack upon him, I immediately send him to you, directing his accusers also to state before you the case they have against him."
I doznavši ja ugovor Jevrejski o glavi ovoga èovjeka odmah ga poslah k tebi zapovjedivši i suparnicima njegovijem da pred tobom kažu što imaju na nj. Zdrav budi!
31 So, in obedience to their orders, the soldiers took Paul and brought him by night as far as Antipatris.
A vojnici onda, kao što im se zapovjedi, uzeše Pavla i odvedoše ga noæu u Antipatridu.
32 The next day the infantry returned to the barracks, leaving the cavalry to proceed with him;
A sjutradan ostavivši konjike da idu s njim, vratiše se u oko.
33 and, the cavalry having reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, they brought Paul also to him.
A oni došavši u Æesariju, predaše poslanicu sudiji i izvedoše Pavla preda nj.
34 Felix, after reading the letter, inquired from what province he was; and being told "from Cilicia,"
A sudija proèitavši poslanicu zapita odakle je; i doznavši da je iz Kilikije
35 he said, "I will hear all you have to say, when your accusers also have come." And he ordered him to be detained in custody in Herod's Palace.
Reèe: ispitaæu te kad suparnici tvoji doðu. I zapovjedi da ga èuvaju u dvoru Irodovom.
