¹Prošavši kroz Amfipol i Apoloniju, stigoše u Solun, gdje bijaše židovska sinagoga.

¹And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews.

²Po običaju uđe Pavao onamo. Tri je subote s njima raspravljao na temelju Pisama.

²And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures,

³Tumačio je i izlagao: "Trebalo je da Krist trpi i uskrsne od mrtvih. Taj Krist jest Isus koga vam ja navješćujem."

³opening and laying down that the Christ must have suffered and risen up from among the dead, and that this is the Christ, Jesus whom *I* announce to you.

⁴Neki se od njih uvjeriše pa se pridružiše Pavlu i Sili; tako i veliko mnoštvo bogobojaznih Grka i nemalo uglednih žena.

⁴And some of them believed, and joined themselves to Paul and Silas, and of the Greeks who worshipped, a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

⁵Židove nato spopade zavist pa pridobiše neke opake uličnjake, potakoše ih i pobuniše grad te nahrupiše u kuću Jasonovu tražeći da se Pavao i Sila izvedu pred narod.

⁵But the Jews having been stirred up to jealousy, and taken to [themselves] certain wicked men of the lowest rabble, and having got a crowd together, set the city in confusion; and having beset the house of Jason sought to bring them out to the people;

⁶Kako ih ne nađoše, odvukoše Jasona i neke od braće pred gradske glavare vičući: "Evo i ovdje onih koji pobuniše sav svijet.

⁶and not having found them, dragged Jason and certain brethren before the politarchs, crying out, These [men] that have set the world in tumult, are come here also,

⁷Jason ih je ugostio. Svi oni rade protiv carskih odredaba: tvrde da postoji drugi kralj - Isus."

⁷whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus.

⁸Time uzbuniše svjetinu i glavare koji su to čuli

⁸And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things.

⁹te oni od Jasona i ostalih uzeše jamčevinu pa ih pustiše.

⁹And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.

¹⁰Braća su pak brže-bolje noću odaslala Pavla i Silu u Bereju. Kad su stigli, odoše u židovsku sinagogu.

¹⁰But the brethren immediately sent away, in the night, Paul and Silas to Berea; who, being arrived, went away into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹¹Ovi su Židovi bili plemenitiji od solunskih: primili su Riječ sa svom spremnošću i danomice istraživali Pisma, da li je to tako.

¹¹And these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, receiving the word with all readiness of mind, daily searching the scriptures if these things were so.

¹²Mnogi od njih stoga povjerovaše, a tako i nemalo uglednih grčkih žena i muževa.

¹²Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.

¹³Ali kad su solunski Židovi doznali da Pavao i u Bereji navješćuje riječ Božju, odoše te i ondje podjariše i uzbuniše svjetinu.

¹³But when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was announced in Berea also by Paul, they came there also, stirring up the crowds.

¹⁴Braća tada brže-bolje uputiše Pavla k moru. Sila pak i Timotej ostadoše ondje.

¹⁴And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.

¹⁵Pratioci dovedoše Pavla do Atene pa se vratiše noseći Sili i Timoteju zapovijed da što prije dođu k njemu.

¹⁵But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and, having received a commandment to Silas and Timotheus, that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.

¹⁶Dok ih je u Ateni iščekivao, ogorči se Pavao u duši promatrajući kako je grad pokumiren.

¹⁶But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up to idolatry.

¹⁷Međutim raspravljaše u sinagogi sa Židovima i bogobojaznima, a na trgu svaki dan s onima koji bi se ondje zatekli.

¹⁷He reasoned therefore in the synagogue with the Jews, and those who worshipped, and in the market-place every day with those he met with.

¹⁸Dobacivahu mu i neki od epikurejskih i stoičkih filozofa. Jedni su govorili: "Što bi htjela reći ta čavka?" Drugi pak: "Navješćuje, čini se, neke tuđe bogove." Jer navješćivaše Isusa i uskrsnuće.

¹⁸But some also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers attacked him. And some said, What would this chatterer say? and some, He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons, because he announced the glad tidings of Jesus and the resurrection [to them].

¹⁹Onda su ga uzeli i odveli na Areopag i upitali: "Bismo li mogli znati kakav to nov nauk naučavaš?

¹⁹And having taken hold on him they brought [him] to Areopagus, saying, Might we know what this new doctrine which is spoken by thee [is]?

²⁰Čudnovatim nam nekim tvrdnjama uši puniš. Željeli bismo stoga znati što bi to imalo biti."

²⁰For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We wish therefore to know what these things may mean.

²¹Nijedan Atenjanin ni doseljeni stranac ni na što drugo ne trati vrijeme nego na pripovijedanje i slušanje novosti.

²¹Now all [the] Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news.

²²Tada Pavao stade posred Areopaga i reče: "Atenjani! U svemu ste, vidim, nekako veoma bogoljubni.

²²And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;

²³Doista, prolazeći i promatrajući vaše svetinje nađoh i žrtvenik s natpisom: Nepoznatom Bogu. Što dakle ne poznajete, a štujete, to vam ja navješćujem."

²³for, passing through and beholding your shrines, I found also an altar on which was inscribed, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye reverence, not knowing [him], him I announce to you.

²⁴"Bog koji stvori svijet i sve na njemu, on, neba i zemlje Gospodar, ne prebiva u rukotvorenim hramovima;

²⁴The God who has made the world and all things which are in it, *he*, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,

²⁵i ne poslužuju ga ljudske ruke, kao da bi što trebao, on koji svima daje život, dah i - sve.

²⁵nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;

²⁶Od jednoga sazda cijeli ljudski rod da prebiva po svem licu zemlje; ustanovi određena vremena i međe prebivanja njihova

²⁶and has made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained times and the boundaries of their dwelling,

²⁷da traže Boga, ne bi li ga kako napipali i našli. Ta nije daleko ni od koga od nas.

²⁷that they may seek God; if indeed they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one of us:

²⁸U njemu doista živimo, mičemo se i jesmo, kao što i neki od vaših pjesnika rekoše: "Njegov smo čak i rod!"

²⁸for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁹"Ako smo dakle rod Božji, ne smijemo smatrati da je božanstvo slično zlatu, srebru ili kamenu, liku isklesanu umijećem i maštom ljudskom."

²⁹Being therefore [the] offspring of God, we ought not to think that which is divine to be like gold or silver or stone, [the] graven form of man's art and imagination.

³⁰"I ne obazirući se na vremena neznanja, nutka sada Bog ljude da se svi i posvuda obrate

³⁰God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,

³¹jer ustanovi Dan u koji će suditi svijetu po pravdi, po Čovjeku kojega odredi, pred svima ovjerovi uskrisivši ga od mrtvih."

³¹because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by [the] man whom he has appointed, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raised him from among [the] dead.

³²Kad čuše "uskrsnuće od mrtvih", jedni se stadoše rugati, a drugi rekoše: "Još ćemo te o tom slušati!"

³²And when they heard [of the] resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.

³³Tako se Pavao povuče od njih.

³³Thus Paul went out of their midst.

³⁴Neki ipak prionuše uza nj i povjerovaše; među njima i Dionizije Areopagit, neka žena imenom Damara i drugi s njima.

³⁴But some men joining themselves to him believed; among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.
