Acts 28

Jednom spašeni, doznasmo da se otok zove Malta.

And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

Urođenici nam iskazivahu nesvakidašnje čovjekoljublje. Zapališe krijes i okupiše nas oko njega jer je počela kiša i bilo zima.

And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

Pavao nakupi naramak granja i baci na krijes kadli zbog vrućine izađe zmija i pripije mu se za ruku.

And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

Kad su urođenici vidjeli gdje mu životinja visi o ruci, govorili su među sobom: "Ovaj je čovjek zacijelo ubojica: umakao je moru i Pravda mu ne da živjeti."

And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

Ali on otrese životinju u vatru i ne bi mu ništa;

And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

a oni očekivahu da će oteći i umah se srušiti mrtav. Pošto su dugo čekali i vidjeli da mu se ništa neobično nije dogodilo, promijeniše mišljenje te stadoše govoriti da je bog.

Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

U okolici onoga mjesta bilo je imanje prvaka otoka, imenom Publija. On nas je primio i tri dana uljudno gostio.

In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

A Publijeva je oca uhvatila ognjica i srdobolja pa je ležao. Pavao uđe k njemu, pomoli se, stavi na nj ruke i izliječi ga.

And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

Nakon toga su dolazili i drugi koji na otoku bijahu bolesni te ozdravljali.

So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

Oni nas mnogim počastima počastiše i na odlasku nam priskrbiše što je potrebno.

Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

Nakon tri mjeseca otplovismo aleksandrijskom lađom koja je prezimila na otoku i imala za znak Dioskure.

And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

Doplovismo u Sirakuzu i ostadosmo ondje tri dana.

And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

Odande ploveći uz obalu, stigosmo u Regij. Sutradan okrenu južnjak te za dva dana stigosmo u Puteole.

And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:

Ondje nađosmo braću koja nas zamoliše da ostanemo u njih sedam dana. Tako stigosmo u Rim.

Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

Kada su tamošnja braća čula za nas, iziđoše nam u susret do Apijeva trga i Triju gostionica. Kad ih Pavao ugleda, zahvali Bogu i ohrabri se.

And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

A kad uđosmo u Rim, Pavlu su dopustili stanovati zasebno, zajedno s vojnikom koji ga je čuvao.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

Nakon tri dana sazva on židovske prvake. Kad se sabraše, reče im: "Ja, braćo, ne učinih ništa protiv naroda ni običaja otačkih, a ipak me okovana u Jeruzalemu predadoše u ruke Rimljana.

And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

Oni me nakon istrage htjedoše pustiti jer nije na meni bilo ništa čime bih bio zaslužio smrt.

Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.

Kako se Židovi tome opriješe, bio sam prisiljen prizvati se na cara; ne dakle stoga što bih imao bilo za što tužiti svoj narod.

But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

S toga dakle razloga zamolih vidjeti vas i obratiti vam se jer zbog nade Izraelove nosim ove verige."

For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

Oni mu odvrate: "Mi o tebi nismo primili nikakva pisma iz Judeje niti nam je tko od pristigle braće o tebi što zlo javio ili rekao.

And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judæa concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.

Nego htjeli bismo od tebe čuti što misliš jer o toj sljedbi znamo samo da joj se posvuda proturječi."

But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

Nato urekoše dan pa dođoše mnogi k njemu u stan. Izlagao im je i svjedočio o kraljevstvu Božjemu te ih od jutra do večeri iz Mojsijeva Zakona i Proroka uvjeravao o Isusu.

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

I jedne uvjeriše njegove riječi, a drugi nisu vjerovali.

And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

Nesložni tako među sobom, stadoše se razilaziti kadli im Pavao reče još jednu riječ: "Lijepo Duh Sveti po Izaiji proroku reče ocima vašim:

And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

Idi k tomu narodu i reci mu: Slušat ćete, slušati - i nećete razumjeti; gledat ćete, gledati - i nećete vidjeti!

Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

Jer usalilo se srce naroda ovoga: uši začepiše, oči zatvoriše da očima ne vide, ušima ne čuju, srcem ne razumiju te se ne obrate pa ih izliječim.

For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Neka vam je dakle svima znano: poganima je poslano ovo spasenje Božje; oni će poslušati!"

Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

#

And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

Pavao osta pune dvije godine u svom unajmljenom stanu gdje je primao sve koji su dolazili k njemu,

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

propovijedao kraljevstvo Božje i naučavao o Gospodinu Isusu Kristu sa svom slobodom, nesmetano.

Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
