Djela apostolska 15

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Uto neki siđoše iz Judeje i počeše učiti braću: »Ako se ne obrežete po običaju Mojsijevu, ne možete se spasiti.«	1 And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.
2 Kad između njih te Pavla i Barnabe nasta prepirka i raspra nemalena, odrediše da Pavao i Barnaba i još neki drugi između njih uzađu u Jeruzalem k apostolima i starješinama poradi tog pitanja.	2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question.
3 Oni su dakle, ispraćeni od Crkve, prolazili kroz Feniciju i Samariju pripovijedajući o obraćenju pogana i donoseći svoj braći veliku radost.	3 They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
4 Kada pak stigoše u Jeruzalem, primi ih Crkva, apostoli i starješine. Ispripovjediše što sve Bog učini po njima.	4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.
5 Onda ustanu neki od onih što iz farizejske sljedbe bijahu prigrlili vjeru pa reknu: »Treba ih obrezati i zapovjediti im da opslužuju Zakon Mojsijev.«	5 But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.
6 Nato se apostoli i starješine sastanu da to razmotre.	6 And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.
7 Nakon duge raspre ustade Petar i reče im: »Braćo, vi znate kako me Bog od najprvih dana između vas izabra da iz mojih usta pogani čuju riječ evanđelja i uzvjeruju.	7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 I Bog, Poznavatelj srdaca, posvjedoči za njih: dade im Duha Svetoga kao i nama.	8 And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
9 Nikakve razlike nije pravio između nas i njih: vjerom očisti njihova srca.	9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Što dakle sada iskušavate Boga stavljajući učenicima na vrat jaram kojeg ni oci naši ni mi nismo mogli nositi?	10 Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 Vjerujemo, naprotiv: po milosti smo Gospodina Isusa spašeni, baš kao i oni.«	11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.
12 Nato sve mnoštvo umuknu. Slušali su Barnabu i Pavla koji pripovjedahu kolika je znamenja i čudesa Bog po njima učinio među poganima.	12 And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 Kad oni ušutješe, progovori Jakov: »Poslušajte me, braćo!	13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
14 Šimun je izložio kako se Bog već na početku pobrinu između pogana uzeti narod imenu svojemu.	14 Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.
15 S time su u skladu riječi Prorokâ. Ovako je doista pisano:	15 And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
16 Nakon toga vratit ću se i opet podići pali šator Davidov, iz ruševina ga podići, opet ga sazidati	16 After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up:
17 da preostali ljudi potraže Gospodina i svi pogani na koje je zazvano ime moje, govori Gospodin, koji to	17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.
18 obznanjuje odvijeka.	18 To the Lord was his own work known from the beginning of the world.
19 Zato smatram da ne valja dodijavati onima koji se s poganstva obraćaju k Bogu,	19 For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.
20 nego im poručiti da se uzdržavaju od mesa okaljana idolima, od bludništva, od udavljenoga i od krvi.	20 But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 Ta Mojsije od pradavnih naraštaja ima po gradovima propovjednike koji ga u sinagogama svake subote čitaju.«	21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
22 Tad apostoli i starješine zajedno sa svom Crkvom zaključe izabrati neke muževe između sebe i poslati ih u Antiohiju s Pavlom i Barnabom. Bijahu to Juda zvani Barsaba, i Sila, muževi vodeći među braćom.	22 Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.
23 Po njima pošalju ovo pismo: »Apostoli i starješine, braća, braći iz poganstva po Antiohiji, Siriji i Ciliciji – pozdrav!«	23 Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
24 »Budući da smo čuli kako vas neki od naših, ali bez našega naloga, nekakvim izjavama smetoše i duše vam uznemiriše,	24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:
25 zaključismo jednodušno izabrati neke muževe i poslati ih k vama zajedno s našim ljubljenim Barnabom i Pavlom,	25 It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:
26 ljudima koji su svoje živote izložili za ime Gospodina našega Isusa Krista.	26 Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Šaljemo vam dakle Judu i Silu. Oni će vam i usmeno priopćiti to isto.	27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
28 Zaključismo Duh Sveti i mi ne nametati vam nikakva tereta osim onoga što je potrebno:	28 For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
29 uzdržavati se od mesa žrtvovana idolima, od krvi, od udavljenoga i od bludništva. Budete li se toga držali, dobro ćete učiniti. Živjeli!«	29 That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.
30 Oni su se dakle oprostili i sišli u Antiohiju; sabrali su mnoštvo i predali pismo.	30 They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.
31 Kad ga pročitaše, svi se obradovaše zbog ohrabrenja.	31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Juda i Sila, i sami proroci, mnogim riječima ohrabriše i utvrdiše braću.	32 But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.
33 Neko se vrijeme zadrže pa se onda s mirom od braće vrate onima koji ih poslaše.	33 And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.
	34 But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
35 A Pavao i Barnaba ostadoše u Antiohiji naučavajući i navješćujući zajedno s mnogima drugima riječ Gospodnju.	35 And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
36 Nakon nekog vremena reče Pavao Barnabi: »Vratimo se i pohodimo braću po svim gradovima u kojima smo navješćivali riječ Gospodnju, da vidimo kako su!«	36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.
37 Barnaba je htio povesti i Ivana zvanog Marko.	37 And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;
38 Pavao pak nije smatrao uputnim sa sobom voditi onoga koji se u Pamfiliji odvojio od njih te nije s njima pošao na djelo.	38 But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.
39 Spopade ih takva ogorčenost da se raziđoše: Barnaba povede Marka i otplovi na Cipar,	39 And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
40 a Pavao sebi izabra Silu pa od braće povjeren milosti Gospodnjoj	40 But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.
41 proputova Siriju i Ciliciju, utvrđujući Crkve.	41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
