¹Pavao uprije pogled u Vijeće i reče: "Braćo, ja sam posve mirne savjesti živio pred Bogom sve do dana današnjega."

¹And Paul, fixing his eyes on the council, said, Brethren, I have walked in all good conscience with God unto this day.

²Nato veliki svećenik Ananija naredi onima što stajahu uza nj da ga udare po ustima.

²But the high priest Ananias ordered those standing by him to smite his mouth.

³Onda mu Pavao reče: "Udarit će Bog tebe, zide obijeljeni! Ti li sjediš da me po Zakonu sudiš, a protuzakonito zapovijedaš da me biju?"

³Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, whited wall. And *thou*, dost thou sit judging me according to the law, and breaking the law commandest me to be smitten?

⁴Oni što su ondje stajali rekoše nato: "Zar velikog svećenika Božjega da pogrđuješ?"

⁴And those that stood by said, Dost thou rail against the high priest of God?

⁵Pavao odvrati: "Nisam znao, braćo, da je veliki svećenik. Ta pisano je: Glavara naroda svoga ne proklinji."

⁵And Paul said, I was not conscious, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evilly of the ruler of thy people.

⁶Pavao 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."

⁶But Paul, knowing that the one part [of them] were of the Sadducees and the other of the Pharisees, cried out in the council, Brethren, *I* am a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: *I* am judged concerning the hope and resurrection of [the] dead.

⁷Tek što je on to rekao, nasta razmirica između farizeja i saduceja i mnoštvo se razdijeli.

⁷And when he had spoken this, there was a tumult of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided.

⁸Jer saduceji vele da nema uskrsnuća, ni anđela, ni duha, a farizeji sve to priznaju.

⁸For Sadducees say there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but Pharisees confess both of them.

⁹Nasta 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?"

⁹And there was a great clamour, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part rising up contended, saying, We find nothing evil in this man; and if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel ...

¹⁰Kad razmirica posta još većom, poboja se tisućnik da Pavla ne rastrgaju pa zapovjedi da vojska siđe, otme ga ispred njih i povede u vojarnu.

¹⁰And a great tumult having arisen, the chiliarch, fearing lest Paul should have been torn in pieces by them, commanded the troop to come down and take him by force from the midst of them, and to bring [him] into the fortress.

¹¹Iduće noći pristupi mu Gospodin i reče: "Hrabro samo! Jer kao što si za me svjedočio u Jeruzalemu tako treba da i u Rimu posvjedočiš!"

¹¹But the following night the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage; for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so thou must bear witness at Rome also.

¹²Kad osvanu dan, skovaše Židovi urotu i zakleše se da neće ni jesti ni piti dok ne ubiju Pavla.

¹²And when it was day, the Jews, having banded together, put themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they should kill Paul.

¹³Bilo je više od četrdeset onih koji su skovali tu zavjeru.

¹³And they were more than forty who had joined together in this oath;

¹⁴Oni odu k velikim svećenicima i starješinama pa reknu: "Zakletvom se zaklesmo ništa ne okusiti dok ne ubijemo Pavla.

¹⁴and they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill Paul.

¹⁵Stoga 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."

¹⁵Now therefore do ye with the council make a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bring him down to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him.

¹⁶Ali sin Pavlove sestre doču za zavjeru, približi se i uđe u vojarnu dojaviti Pavlu.

¹⁶But Paul's sister's son, having heard of the lying in wait, came and entered into the fortress and reported [it] to Paul.

¹⁷Pavao pak pozove jednog satnika i reče mu: "Ovog mladića odvedi k tisućniku: ima mu nešto dojaviti."

¹⁷And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has something to report to him.

¹⁸On ga uze, odvede k tisućniku i reče mu: "Uznik me Pavao pozva i zaiska da ovog mladića privedem k tebi; ima ti nešto reći."

¹⁸He therefore, having taken him with [him], led him to the chiliarch, and says, The prisoner Paul called me to [him] and asked me to lead this youth to thee, who has something to say to thee.

¹⁹Tisućnik ga prihvati za ruku, povede nasamo pa ga upita: "Što mi imaš dojaviti?"

¹⁹And the chiliarch having taken him by the hand, and having gone apart in private, inquired, What is it that thou hast to report to 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.

²⁰And he said, The Jews have agreed together to make a request to thee, that thou mayest bring Paul down to-morrow into the council, as about to inquire something more precise concerning him.

²¹Ne 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."

²¹Do not thou then be persuaded by them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they kill him; and now they are ready waiting the promise from thee.

²²Tisućnik onda otpusti mladića i zapovjedi mu: "Nikomu ne kazuj da si mi to dojavio."

²²The chiliarch then dismissed the youth, commanding [him], Utter to no one that thou hast represented these things to me.

²³Zatim dozva dva satnika i reče im: "Pripravite dvjesta vojnika, sedamdeset konjanika i dvjesta strijelaca da nakon treće noćne ure pođu u Cezareju.

²³And having called to [him] certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred light-armed footmen, for the third hour of the night.

²⁴Neka se pripravi živina na koju će se posaditi Pavao te živ i zdrav dovesti k upravitelju Feliksu."

²⁴And [he ordered them] to provide beasts, that they might set Paul on them and carry [him] safe through to Felix the governor,

²⁵Napisa i pismo ovoga sadržaja:

²⁵having written a letter, couched in this form:

²⁶"Klaudije Lizija vrlom upravitelju Feliksu - pozdrav!

²⁶Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.

²⁷Ovoga čovjeka Židovi uhvatiše i tek što ga ne smakoše kadli s vojskom pritrčah i istrgoh im ga kada doznah da je Rimljanin.

²⁷This man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out [of their hands], having learned that he was a Roman.

²⁸Htjedoh saznati za što ga okrivljuju pa ga dovedoh u njihovo Vijeće.

²⁸And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council;

²⁹Utvrdih da ga okrivljuju za nešto prijeporno u njihovu zakonu i da nema nikakve krivnje kojom bi zaslužio smrt ili okove.

²⁹whom I found to be accused of questions of their law, but to have no charge laid against him [making him] worthy of death or of bonds.

³⁰Kad mi pak dojaviše da su protiv njega skovali zavjeru, poslah ga k tebi, a tužitelje uputih neka se tebi obrate protiv njega."

³⁰But having received information of a plot about to be put in execution against the man [by the Jews], I have immediately sent him to thee, commanding also his accusers to say before thee the things that are against him. [Farewell.]

³¹Vojnici dakle, po primljenoj naredbi uzeše Pavla i odvedoše ga noću u Antipatridu.

³¹The soldiers therefore, according to what was ordered them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris,

³²Sutradan ostave konjanike da s njime pođu dalje, a oni se vratiše u vojarnu.

³²and on the morrow, having left the horsemen to go with him, returned to the fortress.

³³Kad konjanici stigoše u Cezareju, uručiše upravitelju pismo i privedoše mu Pavla.

³³And these, having entered into Caesarea, and given up the letter to the governor, presented Paul also to him.

³⁴Pošto upravitelj pročita pismo, zapita iz koje je pokrajine. Kad sazna da je iz Cilicije:

³⁴And having read [it], and asked of what eparchy he was, and learned that [he was] of Cilicia,

³⁵"Saslušat ću te, reče, kad pristignu i tužitelji tvoji." Onda zapovjedi čuvati ga u dvoru Herodovu.

³⁵he said, I will hear thee fully when thine accusers also are arrived. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's praetorium.
