1 Pošto se otrgosmo od njih, zaplovismo. Jedreći ravno, stigosmo na Kos, a sutradan na Rod pa odande u Pataru.	1 When we had taken leave of them we set sail, made a straight run for Cos, and on the next day for Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Kad nađosmo lađu za Feniciju, popesmo se i otplovismo.	2 Finding a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went on board and put out to sea.
3 Kad bijasmo napomol Cipru, ostavismo ga slijeva jedreći prema Siriji. Pristadosmo u Tiru jer je ondje lađa imala iskrcati tovar.	3 We caught sight of Cyprus but passed by it on our left and sailed on toward Syria and put in at Tyre where the ship was to unload cargo.
4 Pronađosmo učenike i ostadosmo ondje sedam dana. Oni po Duhu nagovarahu Pavla da ne uzlazi u Jeruzalem.	4 There we sought out the disciples and stayed for a week. They kept telling Paul through the Spirit not to embark for Jerusalem.
5 Ali kad nam istekoše dani, ipak otputovasmo. Ispratiše nas svi, sa ženama i djecom, do izvan grada. Na žalu klekosmo i pomolismo se.	5 At the end of our stay we left and resumed our journey. All of them, women and children included, escorted us out of the city, and after kneeling on the beach to pray,
6 Pozdravismo se, popesmo se na lađu, a oni se vratiše kući.	6 we bade farewell to one another. Then we boarded the ship, and they returned home.
7 Tako dovršismo plovidbu. Iz Tira stigosmo u Ptolemaidu. Pozdravili smo braću i ostali jedan dan u njih.	7 We continued the voyage and came from Tyre to Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed a day with them.
8 Sutradan otputovasmo i stigosmo u Cezareju. Uđosmo u kuću Filipa evanđelista, jednog od sedmorice, i ostadosmo kod njega.	8 On the next day we resumed the trip and came to Caesarea, where we went to the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him.
9 On je imao četiri kćeri djevice koje su prorokovale.	9 He had four virgin daughters gifted with prophecy.
10 Kako smo se zadržali mnogo dana, siđe iz Judeje neki prorok imenom Agab,	10 We had been there several days when a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 dođe k nama, uze Pavlov pojas, sveza sebi noge i ruke te reče: »Ovo govori Duh Sveti: Čovjeka čiji je ovo pojas ovako će svezati Židovi u Jeruzalemu i predati u ruke pogana.«	11 He came up to us, took Paul's belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said, "Thus says the holy Spirit: This is the way the Jews will bind the owner of this belt in Jerusalem, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles."
12 Kada smo to čuli, stadosmo mi i mještani zaklinjati Pavla da ne uzlazi u Jeruzalem.	12 When we heard this, we and the local residents begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Nato on odvrati: »Što plačete i parate mi srce? Ta spreman sam ne samo biti svezan nego i umrijeti u Jeruzalemu za ime Gospodina Isusa.«	13 Then Paul replied, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am prepared not only to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
14 A kako se nije dao nagovoriti, ušutjesmo rekavši: »Gospodnja budi volja!«	14 Since he would not be dissuaded we let the matter rest, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
15 Nakon tih dana spremismo se i uzađosmo u Jeruzalem.	15 After these days we made preparations for our journey, then went up to Jerusalem.
16 S nama pođoše i učenici iz Cezareje pa nas odvedoše k nekomu Mnasonu Cipraninu, starom učeniku, da u njega odsjednemo.	16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea came along to lead us to the house of Mnason, a Cypriot, a disciple of long standing, with whom we were to stay.
17 Kad stigosmo u Jeruzalem, primiše nas braća radosno.	17 When we reached Jerusalem the brothers welcomed us warmly.
18 Sutradan ode Pavao zajedno s nama k Jakovu. Nađoše se ondje i sve starješine.	18 The next day, Paul accompanied us on a visit to James, and all the presbyters were present.
19 Pošto ih pozdravi, stade im potanko izlagati što učini Bog među poganima po njegovoj službi.	19 He greeted them, then proceeded to tell them in detail what God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Pošto su ga oni poslušali, dadoše slavu Bogu pa mu rekoše: »Vidiš, brate: deseci su tisuća Židova povjerovali i svi su revnitelji Zakona.	20 They praised God when they heard it but said to him, "Brother, you see how many thousands of believers there are from among the Jews, and they are all zealous observers of the law.
21 A o tebi im je dojavljeno da sve Židove koji su među poganima upućuješ na otpad od Mojsija učeći ih da ne obrezuju djece i ne žive po običajima.	21 They have been informed that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to abandon Moses and that you are telling them not to circumcise their children or to observe their customary practices.
22 Što dakle? Čut će svakako da si došao.	22 What is to be done? They will surely hear that you have arrived.
23 Učini stoga što ti kažemo. U nas su četiri čovjeka koji imaju zavjet.	23 So do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 Njih uzmi, s njima se zajedno posveti, plati za njih da se ošišaju pa će svi spoznati da nema ništa od onoga što im je o tebi dojavljeno, nego da si i ti na pravu putu i da opslužuješ Zakon.	24 Take these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses that they may have their heads shaved. In this way everyone will know that there is nothing to the reports they have been given about you but that you yourself live in observance of the law.
25 A što se tiče pogana koji povjerovaše – poslali smo što odlučismo: da se klone mesa žrtvovana idolima, krvi, udavljenoga i bludništva.«	25 As for the Gentiles who have come to believe, we sent them our decision that they abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage."
26 Nato Pavao uze one ljude, sutradan se s njima zajedno posveti, uđe u Hram, oglasi svršetak danâ posvećenja nakon kojih će se za svakoga od njih prinijeti prinos.	26 So Paul took the men, and on the next day after purifying himself together with them entered the temple to give notice of the day when the purification would be completed and the offering made for each of them.
27 Kad se upravo navršavalo tih sedam dana, neki ga Židovi iz Azije opaze u Hramu, uzbune sav narod pa podignu na nj ruke	27 When the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from the province of Asia noticed him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd, and laid hands on him,
28 vičući: »Izraelci, u pomoć! Evo čovjeka koji sve posvuda poučava protiv naroda, Zakona i ovoga mjesta pa je još i Grke uveo u Hram i oskvrnuo ovo sveto mjesto.«	28 shouting, "Fellow Israelites, help us. This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place, and what is more, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this sacred place."
29 Jer prije su s njime u gradu vidjeli Trofima Efežanina i mislili da je Pavao njega uveo u Hram.	29 For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him and supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 Sav se grad uskomeša, nasta strka naroda. Pograbe Pavla i odvuku ga izvan Hrama pa odmah pozatvaraju vrata.	30 The whole city was in turmoil with people rushing together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the gates were closed.
31 Dok su mu o glavi radili, dođe do tisućnika čete glas da je sav Jeruzalem uzavreo.	31 While they were trying to kill him, a report reached the cohort commander that all Jerusalem was rioting.
32 On odmah uze vojnike i satnike pa otrča dolje k njima. Oni pak kako ugledaše tisućnika i vojnike, prestadoše udarati Pavla.	32 He immediately took soldiers and centurions and charged down on them. When they saw the commander and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.
33 Onda se tisućnik približi, uhvati ga, zapovjedi da ga okuju dvojim verigama pa stade ispitivati tko je i što je učinio.	33 The cohort commander came forward, arrested him, and ordered him to be secured with two chains; he tried to find out who he might be and what he had done.
34 Iz svjetine su jedni izvikivali ovo, drugi ono. Kako zbog graje nije mogao saznati ništa pouzdano, zapovjedi da se odvede u vojarnu.	34 Some in the mob shouted one thing, others something else; so, since he was unable to ascertain the truth because of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be brought into the compound.
35 Kad se Pavao pojavi na stubama, morali su ga vojnici nositi zbog silovitosti svjetine.	35 When he reached the steps, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob,
36 Jer mnoštvo je naroda išlo za njima i vikalo: »Smakni ga!«	36 for a crowd of people followed and shouted, "Away with him!"
37 Upravo na ulazu u vojarnu reče Pavao tisućniku: »Smijem li nešto reći?« On ga upita: »Zar znaš grčki?	37 Just as Paul was about to be taken into the compound, he said to the cohort commander, "May I say something to you?" He replied, "Do you speak Greek?
38 Ti dakle nisi onaj Egipćanin koji je prije nekoliko dana pobunio i u pustinju odveo one četiri tisuće bodežara?«	38 So then you are not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led the four thousand assassins into the desert?"
39 Pavao odvrati: »Ja sam Židov iz Tarza cilicijskoga, građanin grada znamenitoga. Molim te, dopusti mi progovoriti narodu.«	39 Paul answered, "I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; I request you to permit me to speak to the people."
40 Kad mu on dopusti, Pavao stojeći na stubama mahnu rukom narodu pa kad nasta velika tišina, prozbori hebrejskim jezikom:	40 When he had given his permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people; and when all was quiet he addressed them in Hebrew.
