Djela apostolska 23

Biblija Hrvatski	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Pavao uprije pogled u Vijeće i reče: »Braćo, ja sam posve mirne savjesti živio pred Bogom sve do dana današnjega.«	1 Then Paul, gazing intently at the council, said, “Noble brothers, I have spoken with all good conscience before God, even to this present day.”
2 Nato veliki svećenik Ananija naredi onima što stajahu uza nj da ga udare po ustima.	2 And the high priest, Ananias, instructed those who were standing nearby to strike him on the mouth.
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?«	3 Then Paul said to him: “God shall strike you, you whitewashed wall! For would you sit and judge me according to the law, when, contrary to the law, you order me to be struck?”
4 Oni što su ondje stajali rekoše nato: »Zar velikog svećenika Božjega da pogrđuješ?«	4 And those who were standing nearby said, “Are you speaking evil about the high priest of God?”
5 Pavao odvrati: »Nisam znao, braćo, da je veliki svećenik. Ta pisano je: Glavara naroda svoga ne proklinji.«	5 And Paul said: “I did not know, brothers, that he is the high priest. For it is written: ‘You shall not speak evil of the leader of your people.’ ”
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.«	6 Now Paul, knowing that one group were Sadducees and the other were Pharisees, exclaimed in the council: “Noble brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees! It is over the hope and resurrection of the dead that I am being judged.”
7 Tek što je on to rekao, nasta razmirica između farizeja i saduceja i mnoštvo se razdijeli.	7 And when he had said this, a dissension occurred between the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And the multitude was divided.
8 Jer saduceji vele da nema uskrsnuća, ni anđela, ni duha, a farizeji sve to priznaju.	8 For the Sadducees claim that there is no resurrection, and neither angels, nor spirits. But the Pharisees confess both of these.
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?«	9 Then there occurred a great clamor. And some of the Pharisees, rising up, were fighting, saying: “We find nothing evil in this man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?”
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.	10 And since a great dissension had been made, the tribune, fearing that Paul might be torn apart by them, ordered the soldiers to descend and to seize him from their midst, and to bring him into the fortress.
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!«	11 Then, on the following night, the Lord stood near him and said: “Be constant. For just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so also it is necessary for you to testify at Rome.”
12 Kad osvanu dan, skovaše Židovi urotu i zakleše se da neće ni jesti ni piti dok ne ubiju Pavla.	12 And when daylight arrived, some of the Jews gathered together and bound themselves with an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
13 Bilo je više od četrdeset onih koji su skovali tu zavjeru.	13 Now there were more than forty men who had taken this oath together.
14 Oni odu k velikim svećenicima i starješinama pa reknu: »Zakletvom se zaklesmo ništa ne okusiti dok ne ubijemo Pavla.	14 And they approached the leaders of the priests, and the elders, and they said: “We have sworn ourselves by an oath, so that we will taste nothing, until we have killed Paul.
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.«	15 Therefore, with the council, you should now give notice to the tribune, so that he may bring him to you, as if you intended to determine something else about him. But before he approaches, we have made preparations to put him to death.”
16 Ali sin Pavlove sestre doču za zavjeru, približi se i uđe u vojarnu dojaviti Pavlu.	16 But when Paul’s sister’s son had heard of this, about their treachery, he went and entered into the fortress, and he reported it to Paul.
17 Pavao pak pozove jednog satnika i reče mu: »Ovog mladića odvedi k tisućniku: ima mu nešto dojaviti.«	17 And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: “Lead this young man to the tribune. For he has something to tell him.”
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.«	18 And indeed, he took him and led him to the tribune, and he said, “Paul, the prisoner, asked me to lead this young man to you, since he has something to say to you.”
19 Tisućnik ga prihvati za ruku, povede nasamo pa ga upita: »Što mi imaš dojaviti?«	19 Then the tribune, taking him by the hand, withdrew with him by themselves, and he asked him: “What is it that you have to tell me?”
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.	20 Then he said: “The Jews have met to ask you to bring Paul tomorrow to the council, as if they intended to question him about something else.
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.«	21 But truly, you should not believe them, for they would ambush him with more than forty men from among them, who have bound themselves by an oath neither to eat, nor to drink, until they have put him to death. And they are now prepared, hoping for an affirmation from you.”
22 Tisućnik onda otpusti mladića i zapovjedi mu: »Nikomu ne kazuj da si mi to dojavio.«	22 And then the tribune dismissed the young man, instructing him not to tell anyone that he had made known these things to him.
23 Zatim dozva dva satnika i reče im: »Pripravite dvjesta vojnika, sedamdeset konjanika i dvjesta strijelaca da nakon treće noćne ure pođu u Cezareju.	23 Then, having called two centurions, he said to them: “Prepare two hundred soldiers, so that they may go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, for the third hour of the night.
24 Neka se pripravi živina na koju će se posaditi Pavao te živ i zdrav dovesti k upravitelju Feliksu.«	24 And prepare beasts of burden to carry Paul, so that they may lead him safely to Felix, the governor.”
25 Napisa i pismo ovoga sadržaja:	25 For he was afraid, lest perhaps the Jews might seize him and kill him, and that afterwards he would be falsely accused, as if he had accepted a bribe. And so he wrote a letter containing the following:
26 »Klaudije Lizija vrlom upravitelju Feliksu – pozdrav!	26 “Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor, Felix: greetings.
27 Ovoga čovjeka Židovi uhvatiše i tek što ga ne smakoše kadli s vojskom pritrčah i istrgoh im ga kada doznah da je Rimljanin.	27 This man, having been apprehended by the Jews and being about to be put to death by them, I rescued, overwhelming them with soldiers, since I realized that he is a Roman.
28 Htjedoh saznati za što ga okrivljuju pa ga dovedoh u njihovo Vijeće.	28 And wanting to know the reason that they objected to him, I brought him into their council.
29 Utvrdih da ga okrivljuju za nešto prijeporno u njihovu zakonu i da nema nikakve krivnje kojom bi zaslužio smrt ili okove.	29 And I discovered him to be accused about questions of their law. Yet truly, nothing deserving of death or imprisonment was within the accusation.
30 Kad mi pak dojaviše da su protiv njega skovali zavjeru, poslah ga k tebi, a tužitelje uputih neka se tebi obrate protiv njega.«	30 And when I had been given news of ambushes, which they had prepared against him, I sent him to you, notifying his accusers also, so that they may plead their accusations before you. Farewell.”
31 Vojnici dakle po primljenoj naredbi uzeše Pavla i odvedoše ga noću u Antipatridu.	31 Therefore the soldiers, taking Paul according to their orders, brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 Sutradan ostave konjanike da s njime pođu dalje, a oni se vratiše u vojarnu.	32 And the next day, sending the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the fortress.
33 Kad konjanici stigoše u Cezareju, uručiše upravitelju pismo i privedoše mu Pavla.	33 And when they had arrived at Caesarea and had delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul before him.
34 Pošto upravitelj pročita pismo, zapita iz koje je pokrajine. Kad sazna da je iz Cilicije:	34 And when he had read it and had asked which province he was from, realizing that he was from Cilicia, he said:
35 »Saslušat ću te«, reče, »kad pristignu i tužitelji tvoji.« Onda zapovjedi čuvati ga u dvoru Herodovu.	35 “I will hear you, when your accusers have arrived.” And he ordered him to be kept in the praetorium of Herod.
