Acts, 28
1. And after we had escaped, we then realized that the island was called Malta. Yet truly, the natives offered us no small amount of humane treatment.
1. Jednom spašeni, doznasmo da se otok zove Malta.
2. For they refreshed us all by kindling a fire, because rain was imminent and because of the cold.
2. Uroðenici nam iskazivahu nesvakidašnje èovjekoljublje. Zapališe krijes i okupiše nas oko njega jer je poèela kiša i bilo zima.
3. But when Paul had gathered together a bundle of twigs, and had placed them on the fire, a viper, which had been drawn to the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
3. Pavao nakupi naramak granja i baci na krijes kadli zbog vruæine izaðe zmija i pripije mu se za ruku.
4. And truly, when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they were saying to one another: “Certainly, this man must be a murderer, for though he escaped from the sea, vengeance will not permit him to live.”
4. Kad su uroðenici vidjeli gdje mu životinja visi o ruci, govorili su meðu sobom: "Ovaj je èovjek zacijelo ubojica: umakao je moru i Pravda mu ne da živjeti."
5. But shaking off the creature into the fire, he indeed suffered no ill effects.
5. Ali on otrese životinju u vatru i ne bi mu ništa;
6. But they were supposing that he would soon swell up, and then would suddenly fall down and die. But having waited a long time, and seeing no ill effects in him, they changed their minds and were saying that he was a god.
6. a oni oèekivahu da æe oteæi i umah se srušiti mrtav. Pošto su dugo èekali i vidjeli da mu se ništa neobièno nije dogodilo, promijeniše mišljenje te stadoše govoriti da je bog.
7. Now among these places were estates owned by the ruler of the island, named Publius. And he, taking us in, showed us kind hospitality for three days.
7. U okolici onoga mjesta bilo je imanje prvaka otoka, imenom Publija. On nas je primio i tri dana uljudno gostio.
8. Then it happened that the father of Publius lay ill with a fever and with dysentery. Paul entered to him, and when he had prayed and had laid his hands on him, he saved him.
8. A Publijeva je oca uhvatila ognjica i srdobolja pa je ležao. Pavao uðe k njemu, pomoli se, stavi na nj ruke i izlijeèi ga.
9. When this had been done, all who had diseases on the island approached and were cured.
9. Nakon toga su dolazili i drugi koji na otoku bijahu bolesni te ozdravljali.
10. And then they also presented us with many honors. And when we were ready to set sail, they gave us whatever we needed.
10. Oni nas mnogim poèastima poèastiše i na odlasku nam priskrbiše što je potrebno.
11. And so, after three months, we sailed in a ship from Alexandria, whose name was ‘the Castors,’ and which had wintered at the island.
11. Nakon tri mjeseca otplovismo aleksandrijskom laðom koja je prezimila na otoku i imala za znak Dioskure.
12. And when we had arrived at Syracuse, we were delayed there for three days.
12. Doplovismo u Sirakuzu i ostadosmo ondje tri dana.
13. From there, sailing close to the shore, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, with the south wind blowing, we arrived on the second day at Puteoli.
13. Odande ploveæi uz obalu, stigosmo u Regij. Sutradan okrenu južnjak te za dva dana stigosmo u Puteole.
14. There, after locating the brothers, we were asked to remain with them for seven days. And then we went on to Rome.
14. Ondje naðosmo braæu koja nas zamoliše da ostanemo u njih sedam dana. Tako stigosmo u Rim.
15. And there, when the brothers had heard of us, they went to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns. And when Paul had seen them, giving thanks to God, he took courage.
15. Kada su tamošnja braæa èula za nas, iziðoše nam u susret do Apijeva trga i Triju gostionica. Kad ih Pavao ugleda, zahvali Bogu i ohrabri se.
16. And when we had arrived at Rome, Paul was given permission to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
16. A kad uðosmo u Rim, Pavlu su dopustili stanovati zasebno, zajedno s vojnikom koji ga je èuvao.
17. And after the third day, he called together the leaders of the Jews. And when they had convened, he said to them: “Noble brothers, I have done nothing against the people, nor against the customs of the fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
17. Nakon tri dana sazva on židovske prvake. Kad se sabraše, reèe im: "Ja, braæo, ne uèinih ništa protiv naroda ni obièaja otaèkih, a ipak me okovana u Jeruzalemu predadoše u ruke Rimljana.
18. And after they held a hearing about me, they would have released me, because there was no case for death against me.
18. Oni me nakon istrage htjedoše pustiti jer nije na meni bilo ništa èime bih bio zaslužio smrt.
19. But with the Jews speaking against me, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, though it was not as if I had any kind of accusation against my own nation.
19. Kako se Židovi tome opriješe, bio sam prisiljen prizvati se na cara; ne dakle stoga što bih imao bilo za što tužiti svoj narod.
20. And so, because of this, I requested to see you and to speak to you. For it is because of the hope of Israel that I am encircled with this chain.”
20. S toga dakle razloga zamolih vidjeti vas i obratiti vam se jer zbog nade Izraelove nosim ove verige."
21. But they said to him: “We have not received letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the other new arrivals among the brothers reported or spoken anything evil against you.
21. Oni mu odvrate: "Mi o tebi nismo primili nikakva pisma iz Judeje niti nam je tko od pristigle braæe o tebi što zlo javio ili rekao.
22. But we are asking to hear your opinions from you, for concerning this sect, we know that it is being spoken against everywhere.”
22. Nego htjeli bismo od tebe èuti što misliš jer o toj sljedbi znamo samo da joj se posvuda proturjeèi."
23. And when they had appointed a day for him, very many persons went to him at his guest quarters. And he discoursed, testifying to the kingdom of God, and persuading them about Jesus, using the law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning until evening.
23. Nato urekoše dan pa doðoše mnogi k njemu u stan. Izlagao im je i svjedoèio o kraljevstvu Božjemu te ih od jutra do veèeri iz Mojsijeva Zakona i Proroka uvjeravao o Isusu.
24. And some believed the things that he was saying, yet others did not believe.
24. I jedne uvjeriše njegove rijeèi, a drugi nisu vjerovali.
25. And when they could not agree among themselves, they departed, while Paul was speaking this one word: “How well did the Holy Spirit speak to our fathers through the prophet Isaiah,
25. Nesložni tako meðu sobom, stadoše se razilaziti kadli im Pavao reèe još jednu rijeè: "Lijepo Duh Sveti po Izaiji proroku reèe ocima vašim:
26. saying: ‘Go to this people and say to them: Hearing, you shall hear and not understand, and seeing, you shall see and not perceive.
26. Idi k tomu narodu i reci mu: Slušat æete, slušati - i neæete razumjeti; gledat æete, gledati - i neæete vidjeti!
27. For the heart of this people has grown dull, and they have listened with reluctant ears, and they have closed their eyes tightly, lest perhaps they might see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and so be converted, and I would heal them.’
27. Jer usalilo se srce naroda ovoga: uši zaèepiše, oèi zatvoriše da oèima ne vide, ušima ne èuju, srcem ne razumiju te se ne obrate pa ih izlijeèim.
28. Therefore, let it be known to you, that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they shall listen to it.”
28. Neka vam je dakle svima znano: poganima je poslano ovo spasenje Božje; oni æe poslušati!"
29. And when he had said these things, the Jews went away from him, though they still had many questions among themselves.
29. #
30. Then he remained for two whole years in his own rented lodgings. And he received all who went in to him,
30. Pavao osta pune dvije godine u svom unajmljenom stanu gdje je primao sve koji su dolazili k njemu,
31. preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which are from the Lord Jesus Christ, with all faithfulness, without prohibition.
31. propovijedao kraljevstvo Božje i nauèavao o Gospodinu Isusu Kristu sa svom slobodom, nesmetano.
