Dela apostolska 28
1 I kad iziðoše sreæno iz laðe, tada razumješe da se ostrvo zove Melit.
When we had escaped, then they learnt that the island was called Malta.
2 A divljaci èinjahu nam ne malu ljubav, jer naložiše oganj i primiše nas sve zbog dažda koji iðaše, i zbog zime.
The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
3 A Pavle zgrabivši gomilu granja naloži na oganj, i izišavši zmija od vruæine skoèi mu na ruku.
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.
4 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.
When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”
5 A on otresavši zmiju u oganj ne bi mu ništa zlo.
However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.
6 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.
But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
7 A naokolo oko onoga mjesta bijahu sela poglavara od ostrva po imenu Poplija, koji nas primi i ugosti ljubazno tri dana.
Now in the neighbourhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.
8 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.
The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9 A kad to bi, dolažahu i drugi koji bijahu bolesni na ostrvu onome, i iscjeljivahu se.
Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
10 I poštovahu nas velikijem èastima; i kad poðosmo, spremiše nam što je od potrebe.
They also honoured us with many honours; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 A poslije tri mjeseca odvezosmo se na laði Aleksandrijskoj, koja je bila prezimila na ostrvu, i bijahu na njoj napisani Dioskuri.
After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
12 I doplovivši u Sirakuzu ostasmo ondje tri dana.
Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 A odande otplovivši doðosmo u Rigiju; i poslije jednoga dana kad dunu jug, doðosmo drugi dan u Potiole.
From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14 Ondje naðemo braæu, i oni nas zamole te ostanemo kod njih sedam dana; i tako poðosmo u Rim.
where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
15 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.
From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
16 A kad doðosmo u Rim, kapetan predade sužnje vojvodi. Ali se Pavlu dopusti da živi gdje hoæe s vojnikom koji ga èuvaše.
When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
17 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,
After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
18 Koji izvidjevši za mene šæahu da me puste, jer se ne naðe na meni nijedna smrtna krivica.
who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Ali kad Judejci govorahu nasuprot, natjera me nevolja da se ištem pred æesara, ne kao da bih svoj narod imao što tužiti.
But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
20 Toga radi uzroka zamolih vas da se vidimo i da se razgovorimo; jer nada radi Izrailjeva okovan sam u ovo gvožðe.
For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
21 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.
They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
22 Nego molimo da èujemo od tebe šta misliš; jer nam je poznato za ovu jeres da joj se svuda nasuprot govori.
But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
23 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.
When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
24 I jedni vjerovahu onome što govoraše a jedni ne vjerovahu.
Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
25 A buduæi nesložni meðu sobom, odlažahu kad reèe Pavle jednu rijeè: dobro kaza Duh sveti preko proroka Isaije ocevima našijem
When they didn’t agree amongst themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
26 Govoreæi: idi k narodu ovome i kaži: ušima æete èuti i neæete razumjeti; i oèima æete gledati i neæete vidjeti.
saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
27 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.
For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’
28 Da vam je dakle na znanje da se neznabošcima posla spasenije Božije, oni æe i èuti.
“Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
29 I kad on ovo reèe, otidoše Jevreji prepiruæi se meðu sobom.
When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute amongst themselves.
30 A Pavle ostade pune dvije godine o svome trošku, i doèekivaše sve koji mu dolažahu,
Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
31 Propovijedajuæi carstvo Božije, i uèeæi o Gospodu našemu Isusu Hristu slobodno, i niko mu ne branjaše.
preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
