Acts of the Apostles 23

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Paul looked steadily at the Sanhedrin and began to speak, 'My brothers, to this day I have conductedmyself before God with a perfectly clear conscience.'	1 Pavao uprije pogled u Vijeće i reče: »Braćo, ja sam posve mirne savjesti živio pred Bogom sve do dana današnjega.«
2 At this the high priest Ananias ordered his attendants to strike him on the mouth.	2 Nato veliki svećenik Ananija naredi onima što stajahu uza nj da ga udare po ustima.
3 Then Paul said to him, 'God wil surely strike you, you whitewashed wal ! How can you sit there tojudge me according to the Law, and then break the Law by ordering a man to strike me?'	3 Onda mu Pavao reče: »Udarit će Bog tebe, zide obijeljeni! Ti li sjediš da me po Zakonu sudiš, a protuzakonito zapovijedaš da me biju?«
4 The attendants said, 'Are you insulting the high priest of God?	4 Oni što su ondje stajali rekoše nato: »Zar velikog svećenika Božjega da pogrđuješ?«
5 Paul answered, 'Brothers, I did not realise it was the high priest; certainly scripture says, "You wil notcurse your people's leader." '	5 Pavao odvrati: »Nisam znao, braćo, da je veliki svećenik. Ta pisano je: Glavara naroda svoga ne proklinji.«
6 Now Paul was wel aware that one party was made up of Sadducees and the other of Pharisees, so hecal ed out in the Sanhedrin, 'Brothers, I am a Pharisee and the son of Pharisees. It is for our hope in theresurrection of the dead that I am on trial.'	6 Pavao je znao da su oni dijelom saduceji, a dijelom farizeji pa povika u Vijeću: »Braćo, ja sam farizej, sin farizeja. Sudi mi se zbog nade, uskrsnuća mrtvih.«
7 As soon as he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assemblywas split between the two parties.	7 Tek što je on to rekao, nasta razmirica između farizeja i saduceja i mnoštvo se razdijeli.
8 For the Sadducees say there is neither resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit, while the Pharisees accept allthree.	8 Jer saduceji vele da nema uskrsnuća, ni anđela, ni duha, a farizeji sve to priznaju.
9 The shouting grew louder, and some of the scribes from the Pharisees' party stood up and protestedstrongly, 'We find nothing wrong with this man. Suppose a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?'	9 Nasta velika graja te ustadoše neki pismoznanci farizejske stranke i zaoštre boj govoreći: »Ništa zlo ne nalazimo na tom čovjeku! A što ako mu je duh govorio, ili anđeo?«
10 Feeling was running high, and the tribune, afraid that they would tear Paul to pieces, ordered histroops to go down and haul him out and bring him into the fortress.	10 Kad razmirica posta još većom, poboja se tisućnik da Pavla ne rastrgaju pa zapovjedi da vojska siđe, otme ga ispred njih i povede u vojarnu.
11 Next night, the Lord appeared to him and said, 'Courage! You have borne witness for me inJerusalem, now you must do the same in Rome.'	11 Iduće noći pristupi mu Gospodin i reče: »Hrabro samo! Jer kao što si za me svjedočio u Jeruzalemu tako treba da i u Rimu posvjedočiš!«
12 When it was day, the Jews held a secret meeting at which they made a vow not to eat or drink untilthey had kil ed Paul.	12 Kad osvanu dan, skovaše Židovi urotu i zakleše se da neće ni jesti ni piti dok ne ubiju Pavla.
13 More than forty of them entered this pact,	13 Bilo je više od četrdeset onih koji su skovali tu zavjeru.
14 and they went to the chief priests and elders and told them, 'We have made a solemn vow to letnothing pass our lips until we have killed Paul.	14 Oni odu k velikim svećenicima i starješinama pa reknu: »Zakletvom se zaklesmo ništa ne okusiti dok ne ubijemo Pavla.
15 Now it is up to you and the Sanhedrin together to apply to the tribune to bring him down to you, asthough you meant to examine his case more closely; we, on our side, are prepared to dispose of him before hereaches you.'	15 Stoga vi sada zajedno s Vijećem predočite tisućniku neka vam ga dovede kao da kanite točnije razaznati njegov slučaj. A mi smo spremni pogubiti ga prije negoli se i približi.«
16 But the son of Paul's sister heard of the ambush they were laying and made his way into the fortressand told Paul,	16 Ali sin Pavlove sestre doču za zavjeru, približi se i uđe u vojarnu dojaviti Pavlu.
17 who cal ed one of the centurions and said, 'Take this young man to the tribune; he has something totel him.'	17 Pavao pak pozove jednog satnika i reče mu: »Ovog mladića odvedi k tisućniku: ima mu nešto dojaviti.«
18 So the man took him to the tribune, and reported, 'The prisoner Paul summoned me and requestedme to bring this young man to you; he has something to tel you.'	18 On ga uze, odvede k tisućniku i reče mu: »Uznik me Pavao pozva i zaiska da ovog mladića privedem k tebi; ima ti nešto reći.«
19 Then the tribune took him by the hand and drew him aside and questioned him in private, 'What is ityou have to tel me?'	19 Tisućnik ga prihvati za ruku, povede nasamo pa ga upita: »Što mi imaš dojaviti?«
20 He replied, 'The Jews have made a plan to ask you to take Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomorrow, asthough they meant to enquire more closely into his case.	20 »Židovi su se«, reče on, »dogovorili da te zamole da im sutra Pavla dovedeš u Vijeće kao da se kane točnije raspitati o njemu.
21 Do not believe them. There are more than forty of them lying in wait for him, and they have vowed notto eat or drink until they have got rid of him. They are ready now and only waiting for your order to be given.'	21 Ne vjeruj im! U zasjedi ga čeka više od četrdeset onih koji se zakleše da neće jesti ni piti dok ga ne smaknu. Već su spremni, samo čekaju tvoju privolu.«
22 The tribune let the young man go with this order, 'Tell no one that you have given me this information.'	22 Tisućnik onda otpusti mladića i zapovjedi mu: »Nikomu ne kazuj da si mi to dojavio.«
23 Then he summoned two of the centurions and said, 'Get two hundred soldiers ready to leave forCaesarea by the third hour of the night with seventy cavalry and two hundred auxiliaries;	23 Zatim dozva dva satnika i reče im: »Pripravite dvjesta vojnika, sedamdeset konjanika i dvjesta strijelaca da nakon treće noćne ure pođu u Cezareju.
24 provide horses for Paul, and deliver him unharmed to Felix the governor.'	24 Neka se pripravi živina na koju će se posaditi Pavao te živ i zdrav dovesti k upravitelju Feliksu.«
25 He also wrote a letter in these terms:	25 Napisa i pismo ovoga sadržaja:
26 'Claudius Lysias to his Excel ency the governor Felix, greetings.	26 »Klaudije Lizija vrlom upravitelju Feliksu – pozdrav!
27 This man had been seized by the Jews and would have been murdered by them; but I came on thescene with my troops and got him away, having discovered that he was a Roman citizen.	27 Ovoga čovjeka Židovi uhvatiše i tek što ga ne smakoše kadli s vojskom pritrčah i istrgoh im ga kada doznah da je Rimljanin.
28 Wanting to find out what charge they were making against him, I brought him before their Sanhedrin.	28 Htjedoh saznati za što ga okrivljuju pa ga dovedoh u njihovo Vijeće.
29 I found that the accusation concerned disputed points of their Law, but that there was no chargedeserving death or imprisonment.	29 Utvrdih da ga okrivljuju za nešto prijeporno u njihovu zakonu i da nema nikakve krivnje kojom bi zaslužio smrt ili okove.
30 Acting on information that there was a conspiracy against the man, I hasten to send him to you, and have notified his accusers that they must state their case against him in your presence.'	30 Kad mi pak dojaviše da su protiv njega skovali zavjeru, poslah ga k tebi, a tužitelje uputih neka se tebi obrate protiv njega.«
31 The soldiers carried out their orders; they took Paul and escorted him by night to Antipatris.	31 Vojnici dakle po primljenoj naredbi uzeše Pavla i odvedoše ga noću u Antipatridu.
32 Next day they left the mounted escort to go on with him and returned to the fortress.	32 Sutradan ostave konjanike da s njime pođu dalje, a oni se vratiše u vojarnu.
33 On arriving at Caesarea the escort delivered the letter to the governor and handed Paul over to him.	33 Kad konjanici stigoše u Cezareju, uručiše upravitelju pismo i privedoše mu Pavla.
34 When he had read it, he asked Paul what province he came from. Learning that he was from Ciliciahe said,	34 Pošto upravitelj pročita pismo, zapita iz koje je pokrajine. Kad sazna da je iz Cilicije:
35 'I wil hear your case as soon as your accusers are here too.' Then he ordered him to be held inHerod's praetorium.	35 »Saslušat ću te«, reče, »kad pristignu i tužitelji tvoji.« Onda zapovjedi čuvati ga u dvoru Herodovu.
