< Dela apostolska 9 >
1 A Savle još dišuæi prijetnjom i smræu na uèenike Gospodnje pristupi k poglavaru sveštenièkome,
AND Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 I izmoli u njega poslanice u Damask na zbornice, ako koga naðe od ovoga puta, i ljude i žene svezane da dovede u Jerusalim.
And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 A kad bješe na putu i doðe blizu Damaska, ujedanput obasja ga svjetlost s neba,
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 I padnuvši na zemlju èu glas gdje mu govori: Savle! Savle! zašto me goniš?
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 A on reèe: ko si ti, Gospode? A Gospod reèe: ja sam Isus, kojega ti goniš: teško ti je protivu bodila praæati se.
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 A on drkæuæi od straha reèe: Gospode! šta hoæeš da èinim? I Gospod mu reèe: ustani i uði u grad, pa æe ti se kazati šta ti treba èiniti.
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 A ljudi koji iðahu s njim stajahu i èuðahu se, jer èujahu glas a ne viðahu nikoga.
And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 A Savle usta od zemlje, i otvorenijem oèima svojijem nikoga ne viðaše. A oni ga uzeše za ruku i uvedoše u Damask.
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 I bješe tri dana slijep, i ne jede, niti pi.
And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10 A u Damasku bješe jedan uèenik, po imenu Ananija, i reèe mu Gospod u utvari: Ananija! A on reèe: evo me, Gospode!
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 A Gospod mu reèe: ustani i idi u ulicu koja se zove Prava, i traži u domu Judinom po imenu Savla Taršanina; jer gle, on se moli Bogu,
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
12 I vidje u utvari èovjeka, po imenu Ananiju, gdje uðe i metnu ruku na nj da progleda.
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 A Ananija odgovori: Gospode! ja èuh od mnogijeh za toga èovjeka kolika zla poèini svetima tvojima u Jerusalimu;
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 I ovdje ima vlast od glavara sveštenièkijeh da veže sve koji prizivaju ime tvoje.
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15 A Gospod mu reèe: idi, jer mi je on sud izbrani da iznese ime moje pred neznabošce i careve i sinove Izrailjeve.
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 A ja æu mu pokazati koliko mu valja postradati za ime moje.
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
17 I poðe Ananija, i uðe u kuæu, i metnuvši ruke na nj reèe: Savle, brate! Gospod Isus, koji ti se javi na putu kojijem si išao, posla me da progledaš i da se napuniš Duha svetoga.
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 I odmah otpade od oèiju njegovijeh kao krljušt, i odmah progleda, i ustavši krsti se.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 I pošto pojede okrijepi se; i bi Savle nekoliko dana s uèenicima koji bijahu u Damasku.
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20 I odmah po zbornicama propovijedaše Isusa da je on sin Božij.
And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 A svi koji slušahu divljahu se i govorahu: nije li ovo onaj što gonjaše u Jerusalimu one koji spominjahu ime ovo, i ovdje zato doðe da ih povezane vodi glavarima sveštenièkijem.
But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
22 A Savle se veæma siljaše i zabunjivaše Jevreje koji žive u Damasku, dokazujuæi da je ovo Hristos.
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23 A kad se navrši podosta dana, dogovoriše se Jevreji da ga ubiju.
And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
24 Ali Savle doznade njihov dogovor; a oni èuvahu vrata dan i noæ da bi ga ubili;
But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25 A uèenici ga uzeše noæu i spustiše preko zida u kotarici.
Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
26 A kad doðe Savle u Jerusalim, ogledaše da se pribije uz uèenike; i svi ga se bojahu, jer ne vjerovahu da je uèenik.
And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27 A Varnava ga uze i dovede k apostolima, i kaza im kako na putu vidje Gospoda, i kako mu govori, i kako u Damasku slobodno propovijeda ime Isusovo.
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 I bijaše s njima i ulazi u Jerusalim i izlazi i slobodno propovijedaše ime Gospoda Isusa.
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29 I govoraše i prepiraše se s Grcima; a oni gledahu da ga ubiju.
And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30 A kad razumješe braæa, svedoše ga u Æesariju, i otpustiše ga u Tars.
Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 A crkve po svoj Judeji i Galileji i Samariji bijahu na miru, i napredovahu, i hoðahu u strahu Gospodnjem, i umnožavahu se utjehom svetoga Duha.
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
32 I dogodi se kad Petar obilažaše sve, da doðe i k svetima koji življahu u Lidi.
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33 I naðe tamo jednoga èovjeka po imenu Eneju, koji veæ osam godina ležaše na odru, jer bješe uzet.
And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
34 I reèe mu Petar: Eneja! iscjeljuje te Isus Hristos, ustani i prostri sam sebi. I odmah usta.
And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35 I vidješe ga svi koji življahu u Lidi i u Asaronu, i obratiše se ka Gospodu.
And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36 A u Jopi bješe jedna uèenica, po imenu Tavita, koje znaèi srna, i ona bješe puna dobrijeh djela i milostinje što èinjaše.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37 I dogodi se u te dane da se ona razbolje i umrije; onda je okupaše i metnuše u gornju sobu.
And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38 A buduæi da je Lida blizu Jope, onda uèenici èuvši da je Petar u njoj poslaše dva èovjeka moleæi ga da ne požali truda doæi do njih.
And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
39 A Petar ustavši otide s njima, i kad doðe, izvedoše ga u gornju sobu i skupiše se oko njega sve udovice plaèuæi i pokazujuæi suknje i haljine što je radila Srna dok je bila s njima.
Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 A Petar izgnavši sve napolje kleèe na koljena i pomoli se Bogu, i okrenuvši se k tijelu reèe: Tavito! ustani. A ona otvori oèi svoje, i vidjevši Petra sjede.
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Petar pak pruživši joj ruku podiže je; i dozvavši svete i udovice pokaza je živu.
And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42 I ovo se razglasi po svoj Jopi, i mnogi vjerovaše Gospoda.
And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43 I dogodi se da on osta mnogo dana u Jopi u nekoga Simona kožara.
And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
