Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
Nakon toga napusti Pavao Atenu i ode u Korint.
2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
Ondje nađe nekog Židova imenom Akvilu, rodom iz Ponta, koji netom bijaše došao iz Italije sa svojom ženom Priscilom jer je Klaudije naredio da svi Židovi napuste Rim. Pohodio ih je
3 and because he practised the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
i, kako bijahu istog zanimanja, ostao kod njih i radio. Po zanimanju bijahu šatorari.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Svake je pak subote raspravljao u sinagogi i uvjeravao Židove i Grke.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
Kad iz Makedonije pristigoše Sila i Timotej, Pavao se potpuno posveti Riječi svjedočeći Židovima da Isus jest Krist.
6 When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”
Kako se pak oni stadoše protiviti i huliti, otrese on haljine i reče im: “Krv vaša na glave vaše! Ja sam nedužan. Od sada idem k poganima.”
7 He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
I ode odande te prijeđe u kuću nekoga bogobojazna čovjeka, imenom Ticija Justa, čija kuća bijaše tik do sinagoge.
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptised.
A nadstojnik sinagoge Krisp povjerova Gospodinu zajedno sa svim svojim domom. I mnogi od Korinćana koji su to slušali povjerovaše i pokrstiše se.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
Jedne noći reče Gospodin Pavlu u viđenju: “Ne boj se, nego govori i ne daj se ušutkati!
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
Ta ja sam s tobom i nitko se neće usuditi da ti naudi. Jer mnogo je naroda mojega u ovome gradu.”
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God amongst them.
Tako se zadrža godinu i šest mjeseci naučavajući među njima riječ Božju.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgement seat,
Ali dok je Galion bio prokonzul Ahaje, navališe Židovi jednodušno na Pavla, dovukoše ga u sudnicu
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
i rekoše: “Ovaj potiče ljude da protiv zakona štuju Boga.”
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
Pavao samo što nije zaustio kadli Galion reče Židovima: “Da je posrijedi zločin kakav ili nedjelo opako, saslušao bih vas, Židovi, kako je pravo;
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
je li pak raspra o riječi i imenima i o nekom vašem zakonu, proviđajte sami; u tome ja ne želim biti sudac.”
16 So he drove them from the judgement seat.
I otpremi ih iz sudnice.
17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgement seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
A oni svi pograbiše nadstojnika sinagoge Sostena i stadoše ga šibati pred sudnicom. Galion nije za to ništa mario.
18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
Pavao osta još podosta vremena, a onda se oprosti s braćom pa pošto se u Kenhreji ošiša jer imaše zavjet, zaplovi prema Siriji, a s njime i Priscila i Akvila.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Stigoše u Efez. Tu ih ostavi, a on uđe u sinagogu i stade raspravljati sa Židovima.
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
Oni ga zamole da ostanu duže vremena, ali on ne pristade,
21 but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
nego se oprosti: “Još ću se, reče, vratiti k vama, bude li Božja volja.” I otplovi iz Efeza.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
Kad stiže u Cezareju, uziđe pozdraviti Crkvu pa onda siđe u Antiohiju.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
Neko se vrijeme zadrža pa onda ode i zareda galacijskim područjem i Frigijom utvrđujući sve učenike.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
Uto neki Židov imenom Apolon, rodom Aleksandrijac, čovjek rječit i upućen u Pisma, stiže u Efez.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
On bijaše upućen u Put Gospodnji pa je vatrene duše govorio i naučavao pomno o Isusu, premda je znao samo za Ivanovo krštenje.
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Poče on tako smjelo govoriti u sinagogi. Čuše ga Priscila i Akvila, uzeše ga k sebi i pomnije mu izložiše Put Božji.
27 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
A kad je nakanio otići u Ahaju, ohrabriše ga braća i napisaše učenicima da ga prime. Kad je stigao onamo, uvelike je koristio vjernicima po milosti
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
jer je snažno pobijao Židove javno pokazujući iz Pisama da Isus jest Krist.
