Acts of the Apostles 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Then he arrived at Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a faithful Jewish woman, his father a Gentile.	1 Stiže tako u Derbu i Listru. Ondje, gle, bijaše učenik neki imenom Timotej, sin neke pokrštene Židovke i oca Grka.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium rendered good testimony to him.	2 Uživao je dobar glas među braćom u Listri i Ikoniju.
3 Paul wanted this man to travel with him, and taking him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.	3 Pavao htjede da on pođe s njime pa ga uze i obreza zbog Židova koji bijahu u onim mjestima. Jer svi su znali da mu je otac Grk.
4 And as they were traveling through the cities, they delivered to them the dogmas to be kept, which were decreed by the Apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.	4 I kako su prolazili gradovima, predavali su im za opsluživanje odredbe koje su apostoli i starješine utvrdili u Jeruzalemu.
5 And certainly, the Churches were being strengthened in faith and were increasing in number every day.	5 Tako se Crkve učvršćivahu u vjeri i broj im se danomice povećavao.
6 Then, while crossing through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the Word in Asia.	6 Prođoše Frigiju i galacijski kraj jer ih je Duh Sveti spriječio propovijedati riječ u Aziji.
7 But when they had arrived in Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.	7 Kad su došli do Mizije, htjedoše u Bitiniju, ali im ne dopusti Duh Isusov.
8 Then, when they had crossed through Mysia, they descended to Troas.	8 Onda prođoše Miziju i siđoše u Troadu.
9 And a vision in the night was revealed to Paul of a certain man of Macedonia, standing and pleading with him, and saying: “Cross into Macedonia and help us!”	9 Noću je Pavao imao viđenje: Makedonac neki stajaše i zaklinjaše ga: »Prijeđi u Makedoniju i pomozi nam!«
10 Then, after he saw the vision, immediately we sought to set out for Macedonia, having been assured that God had called us to evangelize to them.	10 Nakon viđenja nastojasmo odmah otputovati u Makedoniju, uvjereni da nas Bog zove navješćivati im evanđelje.
11 And sailing from Troas, taking a direct path, we arrived at Samothrace, and on the following day, at Neapolis,	11 Otplovismo iz Troade i zaputismo se ravno u Samotraku pa sutradan u Neapol,
12 and from there to Philippi, which is the preeminent city in the area of Macedonia, a colony. Now we were in this city some days, conferring together.	12 a odande u naseobinu Filipe – grad prvog dijela Makedonije. U tom se gradu zadržasmo nekoliko dana.
13 Then, on the Sabbath day, we were walking outside the gate, beside a river, where there seemed to be a prayer gathering. And sitting down, we were speaking with the women who had assembled.	13 U dan subotnji iziđosmo izvan gradskih vrata k rijeci, gdje smo mislili da će biti bogomolja. Sjedosmo i stadosmo govoriti okupljenim ženama.
14 And a certain woman, named Lydia, a seller of purple in the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, listened. And the Lord opened her heart to be receptive to what Paul was saying.	14 Slušala je tako i neka bogobojazna žena imenom Lidija, prodavačica grimiza iz grada Tijatire. Gospodin joj otvori srce te ona prihvati što je Pavao govorio.
15 And when she had been baptized, with her household, she pleaded with us, saying: “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, enter into my house and lodge there.” And she convinced us.	15 Pošto se pak krsti ona i njezin dom, zamoli: »Ako smatrate da sam vjerna Gospodinu, uđite u moj dom i ostanite u njemu.« I prisili nas.
16 Then it happened that, as we were going out to prayer, a certain girl, having a spirit of divination, met with us. She was a source of great profit to her masters, through her divining.	16 Jednom nas na putu u bogomolju sretne neka ropkinja koja je imala duha vračarskoga i gatajući donosila veliku dobit svojim gospodarima.
17 This girl, following Paul and us, was crying out, saying: “These men are servants of the Most High God! They are announcing to you the way of salvation!”	17 Pošla je za Pavlom i za nama te vikala: »Ovi su ljudi sluge Boga Svevišnjega; navješćuju vam put spasenja.«
18 Now she behaved in this way for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her.” And it went away in that same hour.	18 To je činila mnogo dana. Pavlu to napokon dodija pa se okrenu i reče duhu: »Zapovijedam ti u ime Isusa Krista: iziđi iz nje!« I iziđe toga časa.
19 But her masters, seeing that the hope of their profit went away, apprehended Paul and Silas, and they brought them to the rulers at the courthouse.	19 Kad njezini gospodari vidješe da im nesta nade u dobit, pograbiše Pavla i Silu te ih odvukoše na trg pred glavare.
20 And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: “These men are disturbing our city, since they are Jews.	20 Privedoše ih pretorima i rekoše: »Ovi ljudi uznemiruju naš grad. Židovi su
21 And they are announcing a way which is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, since we are Romans.”	21 te šire običaje kojih mi Rimljani ne smijemo ni prihvatiti ni držati.«
22 And the people rushed together against them. And the magistrates, tearing their tunics, ordered them to be beaten with staffs.	22 Nato svjetina nahrupi na njih, a pretori trgoše s njih odijelo i zapovjediše da se išibaju.
23 And when they had inflicted many scourges on them, they cast them into prison, instructing the guard to watch them diligently.	23 Pošto ih izudaraše, bace ih u tamnicu i zapovjede tamničaru da ih pomno čuva.
24 And since he had received this kind of order, he cast them into the interior prison cell, and he restricted their feet with stocks.	24 Primivši takvu zapovijed, uze ih on i baci u nutarnju tamnicu, a noge im stavi u klade.
25 Then, in the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were praying and praising God. And those who were also in custody were listening to them.	25 Oko ponoći su Pavao i Sila molili pjevajući hvalu Bogu, a uznici ih slušali.
26 Yet truly, there was a sudden earthquake, so great that the foundations of the prison were moved. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bindings of everyone were released.	26 Odjednom nasta potres velik te se poljuljaše temelji zatvora, umah se otvoriše sva vrata, i svima spadoše okovi.
27 Then the prison guard, having been jarred awake, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword and intended to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.	27 Tamničar se prenu oda sna pa kad ugleda tamnička vrata otvorena, trgnu mač i samo što se ne ubi misleći da su uznici pobjegli.
28 But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying: “Do no harm to yourself, for we are all here!”	28 Ali Pavao povika iza glasa: »Ne čini sebi nikakva zla! Svi smo ovdje!«
29 Then calling for a light, he entered. And trembling, he fell before the feet of Paul and Silas.	29 Onaj nato zaiska svjetlo, uleti i dršćući baci se pred Pavla i Silu;
30 And bringing them outside, he said, “Sirs, what must I do, so that I may be saved?”	30 izvede ih i upita: »Gospodo, što mi je činiti da se spasim?«
31 So they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and then you will be saved, with your household.”	31 Oni će mu: »Vjeruj u Gospodina Isusa i spasit ćeš se – ti i dom tvoj!«
32 And they spoke the Word of the Lord to him, along with all those who were in his house.	32 Onda navijestiše riječ Gospodnju njemu i svima u domu njegovu.
33 And he, taking them in the same hour of the night, washed their scourges. And he was baptized, and next his entire household.	33 Te iste noćne ure uze ih, opra im rane pa se odmah krsti – on i svi njegovi.
34 And when he had brought them into his own house, he set a table for them. And he was joyous, with his entire household, believing in God.	34 Onda ih uvede u dom, prostre stol te se zajedno sa svim domom obradova što je povjerovao Bogu.
35 And when daylight had arrived, the magistrates sent the attendants, saying, “Release those men.”	35 Kad se razdani, poslaše pretori liktore s porukom: »Pusti te ljude!«
36 But the prison guard reported these words to Paul: “The magistrates have sent to have you released. Now therefore, depart. Go in peace.”	36 Tamničar to priopći Pavlu: »Pretori«, reče, »poručiše da vas pustim. Iziđite dakle sad i pođite u miru!«
37 But Paul said to them: “They have beaten us publicly, though we were not condemned. They have cast men who are Romans into prison. And now they would drive us away secretly? Not so. Instead, let them come forward,	37 Nato im Pavao odvrati: »Javno su nas neosuđene išibali, nas rimske građane, i bacili u tamnicu. A sada da nas potajno izbace? Nipošto, nego neka oni sami dođu i izvedu nas!«
38 and let us drive them away.” Then the attendants reported these words to the magistrates. And upon hearing that they were Romans, they were afraid.	38 Liktori to jave pretorima. Oni su se uplašili kada doznaše da su Rimljani.
39 And arriving, they pleaded with them, and leading them out, they begged them to depart from the city.	39 Zato dođu da ih nagovore pa ih izvedu i zamole da odu iz grada.
40 And they went away from the prison and entered into the house of Lydia. And having seen the brothers, they consoled them, and then they set out.	40 Izišavši iz tamnice, oni pođu k Lidiji, pogledaju i obodre braću pa odu.
