< Acts 21 >

1 When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Pošto se otrgosmo od njih, zaplovismo. Jedreći ravno, stigosmo na Kos, a sutradan na Rod pa odande u Pataru.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
Kad nađosmo lađu za Feniciju, popesmo se i otplovismo.
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
Kad bijasmo napomol Cipru, ostavismo ga slijeva jedreći prema Siriji. Pristadosmo u Tiru jer je ondje lađa imala iskrcati tovar.
4 Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Pronađosmo učenike i ostadosmo ondje sedam dana. Oni po Duhu nagovarahu Pavla da ne uzlazi u Jeruzalem.
5 When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
Ali kad nam istekoše dani, ipak otputovasmo. Ispratiše nas svi, sa ženama i djecom, do izvan grada. Na žalu klekosmo i pomolismo se.
6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
Pozdravismo se, popesmo se na lađu, a oni se vratiše kući.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
Tako dovršismo plovidbu. Iz Tira stigosmo u Ptolemaidu. Pozdravili smo braću i ostali jedan dan u njih.
8 On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Sutradan otputovasmo i stigosmo u Cezareju. Uđosmo u kuću Filipa evanđelista, jednog od sedmorice, i ostadosmo kod njega.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
On je imao četiri kćeri djevice koje su prorokovale.
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Kako smo se zadržali mnogo dana, siđe iz Judeje neki prorok imenom Agab,
11 Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Judeans at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
dođe k nama, uze Pavlov pojas, sveza sebi noge i ruke te reče: “Ovo govori Duh Sveti: Čovjeka čiji je ovo pojas ovako će svezati Židovi u Jeruzalemu i predati u ruke pogana.”
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Kada smo to čuli, stadosmo mi i mještani zaklinjati Pavla da ne uzlazi u Jeruzalem.
13 Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua.”
Nato on odvrati: “Što plačete i parate mi srce? Ta spreman sam ne samo biti svezan nego i umrijeti u Jeruzalemu za ime Gospodina Isusa.”
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
A kako se nije dao nagovoriti, ušutjesmo rekavši: “Gospodnja budi volja!”
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Nakon tih dana spremismo se i uzađosmo u Jeruzalem.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
S nama pođoše i učenici iz Cezareje pa nas odvedoše k nekomu Mnasonu Cipraninu, starom učeniku, da u njega odsjednemo.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Kad stigosmo u Jeruzalem, primiše nas braća radosno.
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to Jacob; and all the elders were present.
Sutradan ode Pavao zajedno s nama k Jakovu. Nađoše se ondje i sve starješine.
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Pošto ih pozdravi, stade im potanko izlagati što učini Bog među poganima po njegovoj službi.
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Judeans of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Torah.
Pošto su ga oni poslušali, dadoše slavu Bogu pa mu rekoše: “Vidiš, brate: deseci su tisuća Židova povjerovali i svi su revnitelji Zakona.
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
A o tebi im je dojavljeno da sve Židove koji su među poganima upućuješ na otpad od Mojsija učeći ih da ne obrezuju djece i ne žive po običajima.
22 What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
Što dakle? Čut će svakako da si došao.
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
Učini stoga što ti kažemo. U nas su četiri čovjeka koji imaju zavjet.
24 Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Torah.
Njih uzmi, s njima se zajedno posveti, plati za njih da se ošišaju pa će svi spoznati da nema ništa od onoga što im je o tebi dojavljeno, nego da si i ti na pravu putu i da opslužuješ Zakon.
25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
A što se tiče pogana koji povjerovaše - poslali smo što odlučismo: da se klone mesa žrtvovana idolima, krvi, udavljenoga i bludništva.”
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Nato Pavao uze one ljude, sutradan se s njima zajedno posveti, uđe u Hram, oglasi svršetak dana posvećenja nakon kojih će se za svakoga od njih prinijeti prinos.
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
Kad se upravo navršavalo tih sedam dana, neki ga Židovi iz Azije opaze u Hramu, uzbune sav narod pa podignu na nj ruke
28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Torah, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”
vičući: “Izraelci, u pomoć! Evo čovjeka koji sve posvuda poučava protiv naroda, Zakona i ovoga mjesta pa je još i Grke uveo u Hram i oskvrnuo ovo sveto mjesto.”
29 For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
Jer prije su s njime u Gradu vidjeli Trofima Efežanina i mislili da je Pavao njega uveo u Hram.
30 All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
Sav se grad uskomeša, nasta strka naroda. Pograbe Pavla i odvuku ga izvan Hrama pa odmah pozatvaraju vrata.
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Dok su mu o glavi radili, dođe do tisućnika čete glas da je sav Jeruzalem uzavreo.
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
On odmah uze vojnike i satnike pa otrča dolje k njima. Oni pak kako ugledaše tisućnika i vojnike, prestadoše udarati Pavla.
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
Onda se tisućnik približi, uhvati ga, zapovjedi da ga okuju dvojim verigama pa stade ispitivati tko je i što je učinio.
34 Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
Iz svjetine su jedni izvikivali ovo, drugi ono. Kako zbog graje nije mogao saznati ništa pouzdano, zapovjedi da se odvede u vojarnu.
35 When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
Kad se Pavao pojavi na stubama, morali su ga vojnici nositi zbog silovitosti svjetine.
36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
Jer mnoštvo je naroda išlo za njima i vikalo: “Smakni ga!”
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
Upravo na ulazu u vojarnu reče Pavao tisućniku: “Smijem li nešto reći?” On ga upita: “Zar znaš grčki?
38 Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
Ti dakle nisi onaj Egipćanin koji je prije nekoliko dana pobunio i u pustinju odveo one četiri tisuće bodežara?”
39 But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
Pavao odvrati: “Ja sam Židov iz Tarza cilicijskoga, građanin grada znamenitoga. Molim te, dopusti mi progovoriti narodu.”
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
Kad mu on dopusti, Pavao stojeći na stubama mahnu rukom narodu pa kad nasta velika tišina, prozbori hebrejskim jezikom:
