Acts 28
1 Our lives having been thus preserved, we discovered that the island was called Malta.
I kad iziðoše sreæno iz laðe, tada razumješe da se ostrvo zove Melit.
2 The strange-speaking natives showed us remarkable kindness, for they lighted a fire and made us all welcome because of the pelting rain and the cold.
A divljaci èinjahu nam ne malu ljubav, jer naložiše oganj i primiše nas sve zbog dažda koji iðaše, i zbog zime.
3 Now, when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and had thrown them on the fire, a viper, driven by the heat, came out and fastened itself on his hand.
A Pavle zgrabivši gomilu granja naloži na oganj, i izišavši zmija od vruæine skoèi mu na ruku.
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging to his hand, they said to one another, "Beyond doubt this man is a murderer, for, though saved from the sea, unerring Justice does not permit him to live."
I kad vidješe divljaci zmiju gdje visi o ruci njegovoj, govorahu jedan drugome: jamaèno je ovaj èovjek krvnik, kojega izbavljena od mora sud Božij ne ostavi da živi.
5 He, however, shook the reptile off into the fire and was unhurt.
A on otresavši zmiju u oganj ne bi mu ništa zlo.
6 They expected him soon to swell with inflammation or suddenly fall down dead; but, after waiting a long time and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
A oni èekahu da on oteèe ili ujedanput da padne mrtav. A kad zadugo èekaše, i vidješe da mu ništa zlo ne bi, promijeniše se, i govorahu da je on Bog.
7 Now in the same part of the island there were estates belonging to the Governor, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us to his house, and for three days generously made us his guests.
A naokolo oko onoga mjesta bijahu sela poglavara od ostrva po imenu Poplija, koji nas primi i ugosti ljubazno tri dana.
8 It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.
A dogodi se da otac Poplijev ležaše od groznice i od srdobolje, kojemu ušavši Pavle pomoli se Bogu i metnu ruke svoje na nj i iscijeli ga.
9 After this, all the other sick people in the island came and were cured.
A kad to bi, dolažahu i drugi koji bijahu bolesni na ostrvu onome, i iscjeljivahu se.
10 They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.
I poštovahu nas velikijem èastima; i kad poðosmo, spremiše nam što je od potrebe.
11 Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the 'Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.
A poslije tri mjeseca odvezosmo se na laði Aleksandrijskoj, koja je bila prezimila na ostrvu, i bijahu na njoj napisani Dioskuri.
12 At Syracuse we put in and stayed for two days.
I doplovivši u Sirakuzu ostasmo ondje tri dana.
13 From there we came round and reached Rhegium; and a day later, a south wind sprang up which brought us by the evening of the next day to Puteoli.
A odande otplovivši doðosmo u Rigiju; i poslije jednoga dana kad dunu jug, doðosmo drugi dan u Potiole.
14 Here we found brethren, who invited us to remain with them for a week; and so we reached Rome.
Ondje naðemo braæu, i oni nas zamole te ostanemo kod njih sedam dana; i tako poðosmo u Rim.
15 Meanwhile the brethren there, hearing of our movements, came as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Huts to meet us; and when Paul saw them he thanked God and felt encouraged.
I odande èuvši braæa za nas iziðoše nam na susret tja do Apijeva pazara i tri krème. I kad ih vidje Pavle, dade hvalu Bogu, i oslobodi se.
16 Upon our arrival in Rome, Paul received permission to live by himself, guarded by a soldier.
A kad doðosmo u Rim, kapetan predade sužnje vojvodi. Ali se Pavlu dopusti da živi gdje hoæe s vojnikom koji ga èuvaše.
17 After one complete day he invited the leading men among the Jews to meet him; and, when they were come together, he said to them, "As for me, brethren, although I had done nothing prejudicial to our people or contrary to the customs of our forefathers, I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the power of the Romans.
A poslije tri dana Pavle sazva starješine Jevrejske. I kad se oni skupiše, govoraše im: ljudi braæo! ja ništa ne uèinih protivno narodu ili obièajima otaèkijem; i Jerusalimljani predaše me kao sužnja u ruke Rimljanima,
18 They, after they had sharply questioned me, were willing to set me at liberty, because they found no offence in me for which I deserve to die.
Koji izvidjevši za mene šæahu da me puste, jer se ne naðe na meni nijedna smrtna krivica.
19 But, at last, the opposition of the Jews compelled me to appeal to Caesar; not however that I had any charge to bring against my nation.
Ali kad Judejci govorahu nasuprot, natjera me nevolja da se ištem pred æesara, ne kao da bih svoj narod imao što tužiti.
20 For these reasons, then, I have invited you here, that I might see you and speak to you; for it is for the sake of Him who is the hope of Israel that this chain hangs upon me."
Toga radi uzroka zamolih vas da se vidimo i da se razgovorimo; jer nada radi Izrailjeva okovan sam u ovo gvožðe.
21 "For our part," they replied, "we have not received any letters from Judaea about you, nor have any of our countrymen come here and reported or stated anything to your disadvantage.
A oni mu rekoše: mi niti primismo pisma za te iz Judeje; niti doðe ko od braæe da javi ili da govori što zlo za tebe.
22 But we should be glad to hear from you what it is that you believe; for as for this sect all we know is that it is everywhere spoken against."
Nego molimo da èujemo od tebe šta misliš; jer nam je poznato za ovu jeres da joj se svuda nasuprot govori.
23 So they arranged a day with him and came to him in considerable numbers at the house of the friends who were entertaining him. And then, with solemn earnestness, he explained to them the subject of the Kingdom of God, endeavouring from morning till evening to convince them about Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
I odredivši mu dan doðoše k njemu u gostionicu mnogi; kojima kazivaše svjedoèeæi carstvo Božije i uvjeravajuæi ih za Isusa iz zakona Mojsijeva i iz proroka od jutra do samoga mraka.
24 Some were convinced; others refused to believe.
I jedni vjerovahu onome što govoraše a jedni ne vjerovahu.
25 Unable to agree among themselves, they at last left him, but not before Paul had spoken a parting word to them, saying, "Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your forefathers through the Prophet Isaiah:
A buduæi nesložni meðu sobom, odlažahu kad reèe Pavle jednu rijeè: dobro kaza Duh sveti preko proroka Isaije ocevima našijem
26 "'Go to this people and tell them, you will hear and hear, and by no means understand; and will look and look, and by no means see.
Govoreæi: idi k narodu ovome i kaži: ušima æete èuti i neæete razumjeti; i oèima æete gledati i neæete vidjeti.
27 For this people's mind has grown callous, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might cure them.'
Jer odrveni srce ovoga naroda, i ušima teško èuju, i oèima svojijem zažmuriše da kako ne vide oèima, i ušima ne èuju, i srcem ne razumiju, i da se ne obrate da ih iscijelim.
28 "Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation--God's salvation--has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed."
Da vam je dakle na znanje da se neznabošcima posla spasenije Božije, oni æe i èuti.
I kad on ovo reèe, otidoše Jevreji prepiruæi se meðu sobom.
30 After this Paul lived for fully two years in a hired house of his own, receiving all who came to see him.
A Pavle ostade pune dvije godine o svome trošku, i doèekivaše sve koji mu dolažahu,
31 He announced the coming of the Kingdom of God, and taught concerning the Lord Jesus Christ without let or hindrance.
Propovijedajuæi carstvo Božije, i uèeæi o Gospodu našemu Isusu Hristu slobodno, i niko mu ne branjaše.
