Dela apostolska 19
1 Dogodi se pak, kad bješe Apolos u Korintu, da Pavle prolažaše gornje zemlje, i doðe u Efes, i našavši neke uèenike
And it came to pass, that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper region, came to Ephesus; and finding certain disciples,
2 Reèe im: jeste li primili Duha svetoga kad ste vjerovali? A oni mu rekoše: nijesmo ni èuli da ima Duh sveti.
He said to them, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said to him, We have not so much as heard whether there is any Holy Spirit.
3 A on im reèe: na što se dakle krstiste? A oni rekoše: na krštenje Jovanovo.
And he said to them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
4 A Pavle reèe: Jovan krsti krštenjem pokajanja, govoreæi narodu da vjeruju onoga koji æe za njim doæi, to jest, Hrista Isusa.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, That they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 A kad to èuše, krstiše se u ime Gospoda Isusa.
When they heard [this], they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 A kad Pavle metnu ruke na njih, siðe Duh sveti na njih, i govorahu jezike i proricahu.
And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in languages, and prophesied.
7 A bijaše ljudi svega oko dvanaest.
And all the men were about twelve.
8 I ušavši u zbornicu govoraše slobodno tri mjeseca uèeæi i uvjeravajuæi za carstvo Božije.
And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
9 I kad neki bijahu otvrdnuli i svaðahu se huleæi na put Gospodnji pred narodom, otstupi od njih i odluèi uèenike, pa se prepiraše svaki dan u školi nekoga Tirana.
But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
10 I ovo je bivalo dvije godine, tako da svi koji življahu u Aziji, i Jevreji i Grci, èuše rijeè Gospoda Isusa.
And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11 I Bog èinjaše ne mala èudesa rukama Pavlovijem,
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12 Tako da su i èalme i ubrušèiæe znojave od tijela njegova nosili na bolesnike, i oni se iscjeljivahu od bolesti, i duhovi zli izlažahu iz njih.
So that from his body were brought to the sick, handkerchiefs, or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
13 I poèeše neki od Jevreja, koji se skitahu i zaklinjahu ðavole, spominjati nad onima u kojima bijahu zli duhovi ime Gospoda Isusa govoreæi: zaklinjemo vas Isusom koga Pavle propovijeda.
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them who had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 A bijahu nekijeh sedam sinova Skeve Jevrejina, poglavara sveštenièkoga, koji ovo èinjahu.
And there were seven sons of [one] Sceva a Jew, [and] chief of the priests, who did so.
15 A duh zli odgovarajuæi reèe: Isusa poznajem, i Pavla znam; ali vi ko ste?
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16 I skoèivši na njih èovjek u kome bješe zli duh nadvlada ih, i pritište ih poda se tako da goli i izranjeni utekoše iz one kuæe.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 I ovo doznadoše svi koji življahu u Efesu, i Jevreji i Grci; i uðe strah u sve njih, i velièaše se ime Gospoda Isusa.
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus: and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 I mnogi od onijeh što vjerovahu, dolažahu te se ispovijedahu i kazivahu šta su uèinili.
And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
19 A mnogi od onijeh koji èarahu, sabravši knjige svoje spaljivahu ih pred svima; i proraèuniše i naðoše da su vrijedele pedeset hiljada groša.
Many also of them who used curious arts, brought their books together, and burned them before all [men]; and they counted the price of them, and found [it] fifty thousand [pieces] of silver.
20 Tako zdravo rastijaše i nadvlaðivaše rijeè Gospodnja.
So mightily grew the word of God, and prevailed.
21 I kad se ovo svrši, namisli Pavle da proðe preko Maæedonije i Ahaje, i da ide u Jerusalim, i reèe: pošto budem tamo, valja mi i Rim vidjeti.
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia, and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
22 I posla u Maæedoniju dvojicu od onijeh koji ga služahu, Timotija i Erasta; a on osta neko vrijeme u Aziji.
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
23 A u ono vrijeme podiže se ne mala buna puta radi Gospodnjega,
And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
24 Jer nekakav zlatar, po imenu Dimitrije, koji graðaše Dijani srebrne crkvice i davaše majstorima ne mali posao,
For a certain [man] named Demetrius, a silver-smith, who made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain to the artificers;
25 On skupi ove i drugijeh ovakovijeh stvari majstore, i reèe: ljudi! vi znate da od ovoga posla mi imamo dobitak za svoje življenje;
Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth:
26 I vidite i èujete da ne samo u Efesu nego gotovo po svoj Aziji ovaj Pavle odvrati narod mnogi, govoreæi: to nijesu bogovi što se rukama èovjeèijim grade.
Moreover, ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away many people, saying, that they are no gods which are made with hands.
27 I ne samo što æe ova nesreæa doæi na naš zanat da ne prolazi, nego se neæe mariti ni za crkvu velike boginje Dijane, i propašæe velièanstvo one koju sva Azija i vasioni svijet poštuje.
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at naught; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia, and the world worshipeth.
28 A kad oni ovo èuše, napuniše se gnjeva, i vikahu govoreæi: velika je Dijana Efeska!
And when they heard [these sayings], they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.
29 I sav se grad napuni bune: i navalivši jednodušno na zborište uhvatiše Gaja i Aristarha iz Maæedonije, drugove Pavlove.
And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theater.
30 A kad Pavle šæaše da ide meðu narod, ne dadoše mu uèenici.
And when Paul would have entered in to the people, the disciples suffered him not.
31 A neki i od Azijskijeh poglavara koji mu bijahu prijatelji, poslaše k njemu svjetujuæi ga da ne izlazi na zborište.
And certain of the chief of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him, desiring [him] that he would not adventure himself into the theater.
32 Jedni pak vikahu jedno a drugi drugo; jer bijaše sabor smuæen, i najviše ih ne znadijahu zašto su se skupili.
Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not why they had come together.
33 A jedni od naroda izvukoše Aleksandra, kad ga Jevreji izvedoše. A Aleksandar mahnuvši rukom šæaše da odgovori narodu.
And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defense to the people.
34 A kad ga poznaše da je Jevrejin, povikaše svi u glas, i vikahu oko dva sahata: velika je Dijana Efeska.
But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.
35 A pisar utišavši narod reèe: ljudi Efesci! Ko je taj èovjek koji ne zna da grad Efes slavi veliku boginju Dijanu i njezin kip nebeski?
And when the town-clerk had appeased the people, he said, [Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?
36 Kad dakle to ne može niko odreæi, valja vi da budete mirni, i ništa naglo da ne èinite;
Seeing then that these things cannot be contradicted, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37 Jer dovedoste ove ljude koji niti su crkvu Dijaninu pokrali, niti hule na vašu boginju.
For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
38 A Dimitrije i majstori koji su s njim ako imaju kakvu tužbu, imaju sudovi, i imaju namjesnici, neka tuže jedan drugoga.
Wherefore, if Demetrius and the artificers who are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.
39 Ako li što drugo ištete, neka se izvidi na pravoj skupštini.
But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
40 Jer se bojimo da ne budemo tuženi za današnju bunu; a nijednoga uzroka nema kojijem bismo se mogli opravdati za ovu bunu.
For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause by which we may give an account of this concourse.
41 I ovo rekavši raspusti narod koji se bješe sabrao.
And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
