Acts 6

And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

U one dane, kako se broj učenika množio, Židovi grčkog jezika stadoše mrmljati protiv domaćih Židova što se u svagdanjem služenju zanemaruju njihove udovice.

Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

Dvanaestorica nato sazvaše mnoštvo učenika i rekoše: "Nije pravo da mi napustimo riječ Božju da bismo služili kod stolova.

Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

De pronađite, braćo, između sebe sedam muževa na dobru glasu, punih Duha i mudrosti. Njih ćemo postaviti nad ovom službom,

But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

a mi ćemo se posvetiti molitvi i posluživanju Riječi."

And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

Prijedlog se svidje svemu mnoštvu pa izabraše Stjepana, muža puna vjere i Duha Svetoga, zatim Filipa, Prohora, Nikanora, Timona, Parmenu te antiohijskog pridošlicu Nikolu.

Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

Njih postave pred apostole, a oni pomolivši se, polože na njih ruke.

And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

I riječ je Božja rasla, uvelike se množio broj učenika u Jeruzalemu i veliko je mnoštvo svećenika prihvaćalo vjeru.

And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

Stjepan je pun milosti i snage činio velika čudesa i znamenja u narodu.

Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

Nato se digoše neki iz takozvane sinagoge Slobodnjaka, Cirenaca, Aleksandrinaca te onih iz Cilicije i Azije pa počeše raspravljati sa Stjepanom,

And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

ali nisu mogli odoljeti mudrosti i Duhu kojim je govorio.

Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.

Onda podmetnuše neke ljude koji rekoše: "Čuli smo ga govoriti pogrdne riječi protiv Mojsija i Boga."

And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,

Podjare i narod, starješine i pismoznance pa priđu, zgrabe ga i odvuku u Vijeće.

And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:

Ondje namjestiše lažne svjedoke koji rekoše: "Ovaj čovjek neprestance govori protiv svetog Mjesta i Zakona.

For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.

Čuli smo ga doista govoriti: 'Isus Nazarećanin razvalit će ovo Mjesto i izmijeniti običaje koje nam predade Mojsije'."

And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

A svi koji su sjedili u Vijeću upriješe pogled u Stjepana te opaziše - lice mu kao u anđela.
