Dela apostolska 20

1 A pošto se utiša buna, dozva Pavle uèenike, i utješivši ih oprosti se s njima, i iziðe da ide u Maæedoniju.

THEN after the tumult was quieted, Paul called to him the disciples, and taking his leave, departed to go into Macedonia.

2 I prošavši one zemlje, i svjetovavši ih mnogijem rijeèima, doðe u Grèku.

And passing through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he went into Greece.

3 Poživljevši pak onamo tri mjeseca stadoše mu Jevreji raditi o glavi kad šæaše da se odveze u Siriju, i namisli da se vrati preko Maæedonije.

And after three months stay, as the Jews were lying in wait for him, when he was just embarking for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

4 I poðe s njim do Azije Sosipatar Pirov iz Verije, i Aristarh i Sekund iz Soluna, i Gaj iz Derve i Timotije, i Tihik i Trofim iz Azije.

And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asiatics.

5 Ovi otišavši naprijed èekahu nas u Troadi.

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

6 A mi se odvezosmo poslije dana prijesnijeh hljebova iz Filibe, i doðosmo k njima u Troadu za pet dana, i ondje ostasmo sedam dana.

And we sailed from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas after five days; where we stayed seven days.

7 A u prvi dan nedjelje, kad se sabraše uèenici da lome hljeb, govoraše im Pavle, jer šæaše sjutradan da poðe, i proteže besjedu do ponoæi.

And on the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached unto them (ready to depart on the morrow), and extended his discourse until midnight.

8 I bijahu mnoge svijeæe gore u sobi gdje se bijasmo sabrali.

Now there were many lamps in the upper room, where they were assembled.

9 A sjeðaše na prozoru jedno momèe, po imenu Evtih, nadvladano od tvrdoga sna, i kad Pavle govoraše mnogo, naže se u snu i pade dolje s treæega poda, i digoše ga mrtva.

And a certain youth named Eutytchus, who sat in the window, fell into a profound sleep: as Paul discoursed much longer than usual, quite overpowered with sleep, he fell down from a third story, and was taken up dead.

10 A Pavle sišavši pade na nj, i zagrlivši ga reèe: ne bunite se, jer je duša njegova u njemu.

But Paul came down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Trouble not yourselves, for his life is yet in him.

11 Onda iziðe gore, i prelomivši hljeb okusi, i dovoljno govori do same zore, i tako otide.

And when he had gone up, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then departed.

12 A momèe dovedoše živo, i utješiše se ne malo.

And they brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly.

13 A mi došavši u laðu odvezosmo se u As, i odande šæasmo da uzmemo Pavla; jer tako bješe zapovjedio, hoteæi sam da ide pješice.

Then we going before to the ship, sailed for Assos, intending there to take in Paul: for so he had ordered, meaning himself to walk thither.

14 A kad se sasta s nama u Asu, uzesmo ga, i doðosmo u Mitilinu.

And when he met us at Assos, we took him up, and came to Mytelene.

15 I odande odvezavši se doðosmo sjutradan prema Hiju; a drugi dan odvezosmo se u Sam, i noæismo u Trigiliju; i sjutradan doðosmo u Milit.

And sailing from thence, on the following day we advanced over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos, and staying at Trogyllium, the day following we came to Miletus.

16 Jer Pavle namisli da proðemo mimo Efes da se ne bi zadržao u Aziji; jer hiæaše, ako bude moguæe, da bude o Trojièinu dne u Jerusalimu.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened on, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 Ali iz Milita posla u Efes i dozva starješine crkvene.

So he sent to Ephesus from Miletus, and called the presbyters of the church to attend him.

18 I kad doðoše k njemu, reèe im: vi znate od prvoga dana kad doðoh u Aziju kako s vama jednako bih

And when they were come unto him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the very first day in which I entered into Asia, how I have been among you at every season,

19 Služeæi Gospodu sa svakom poniznosti i mnogijem suzama i napastima koje mi se dogodiše od Jevreja koji mi raðahu o glavi;

serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, which have befallen me through the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 Kako ništa korisno ne izostavih da vam ne kažem i da vas nauèim pred narodom i po kuæama,

and that I have suppressed nothing which could conduce to your profiting; not desisting from preaching to you, and teaching you in public, and from house to house,

21 Svjedoèeæi i Jevrejima i Grcima pokajanje k Bogu i vjeru u Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista.

repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 I sad evo ja svezan Duhom idem u Jerusalim ne znajuæi šta æe mi se u njemu dogoditi;

And now behold I am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me:

23 Osim da Duh sveti po svijem gradovima svjedoèi, govoreæi da me okovi i nevolje èekaju.

only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation await thee.

24 Ali se ni za što ne brinem, niti marim za svoj život, nego da svršim teèenje svoje s radošæu i službu koju primih od Gospoda Isusa: da posvjedoèim jevanðelje blagodati Božije.

Yet I make no account of any suffering, nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel of the grace of God.

25 I evo sad znam da više neæete vidjeti mojega lica, vi svi po kojima prolazih propovijedajuæi carstvo Božije.

And now behold, I know that ye shall see my face no more, even ye all, among whom I have gone in and out preaching the kingdom of God.

26 Zato vam svjedoèim u današnji dan da sam ja èist od krvi sviju;

Wherefore I appeal to you this day as witnesses that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 Jer ne izostavih da pokažem volju Božiju.

For I have concealed nothing, so as not repeatedly to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

28 Pazite dakle na sebe i na sve stado u kome vas Duh sveti postavi vladikama da pasete crkvu Gospoda i Boga koju steèe krvlju svojom;

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.

29 Jer ja ovo znam da æe po odlasku mome uæi meðu vas teški vuci koji neæe štedjeti stada;

For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock:

30 I izmeðu vas samijeh postaæe ljudi koji æe govoriti izvrnutu nauku da odvraæaju uèenike za sobom.

Yea, from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverting doctrines, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Zato gledajte i opominjite se da tri godine dan i noæ ne prestajah uèeæi sa suzama svakoga od vas.

Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by night and by day, I have never ceased with tears to admonish every individual.

32 I sad vas, braæo, predajem Bogu i rijeèi blagodati njegove, koji može nazidati i dati vam našljedstvo meðu svima osveæenima.

And now, brethren, I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to finish the superstructure, and to give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

33 Srebra, ili zlata, ili ruha ni u jednoga ne zaiskah.

The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted:

34 Sami znate da potrebi mojoj i onijeh koji su sa mnom bili poslužiše ove ruke moje.

but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who were with me.

35 Sve vam pokazah da se tako valja truditi i pomagati nemoænima, i opominjati se rijeèi Gospoda Isusa koju on reèe: mnogo je blaženije davati negoli uzimati.

In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

36 I ovo rekavši kleèe na koljena svoja sa svima njima i pomoli se Bogu.

And when he had spoken these things, he fell on his knees, and prayed with them all.

37 A sviju stade veliki plaè i zagrlivši Pavla cjelivahu ga,

And all of them shed floods of tears, and fell upon Paul’s neck, and kissed him again and again,

38 Žalosni najviše za rijeè koju reèe da više neæe vidjeti lica njegova; i otpratiše ga u laðu.

most peculiarly afflicted at that word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more: and they accompanied him unto the ship.
