¹Savao pak, sveudilj zadahnut prijetnjom i pokoljem prema učenicima Gospodnjim, pođe k velikomu svećeniku,

¹But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest

²zaiska od njega pisma za sinagoge u Damasku, da sve koje nađe od ovoga Puta, muževe i žene, okovane dovede u Jeruzalem.

²and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring [them] bound to Jerusalem.

³Kad se putujući približi Damasku, iznenada ga obasja svjetlost s neba.

³But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven,

⁴Sruši se na zemlju i začu glas što mu govoraše: "Savle, Savle, zašto me progoniš?"

⁴and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?

⁵On upita: "Tko si, Gospodine?" A on će: "Ja sam Isus kojega ti progoniš!

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], *I* am Jesus, whom *thou* persecutest.

⁶Nego ustani, uđi u grad i reći će ti se što ti je činiti."

⁶But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

⁷Njegovi suputnici ostadoše bez riječi: čuli su doduše glas, ali ne vidješe nikoga.

⁷But the men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but beholding no one.

⁸Savao usta sa zemlje. Otvorenih očiju nije ništa vidio pa ga povedu za ruku i uvedu u Damask.

⁸And Saul rose up from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw no one. But leading [him] by the hand they brought him into Damascus.

⁹Tri dana nije vidio, nije jeo ni pio.

⁹And he was three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.

¹⁰U Damasku bijaše neki učenik imenom Ananija. Njemu u viđenju reče Gospodin: "Ananija!" On se odazva: "Evo me, Gospodine!"

¹⁰And there was a certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, [here am] I, Lord.

¹¹A Gospodin će mu: "Ustani, pođi u ulicu zvanu Ravna i u kući Judinoj potraži Taržanina imenom Savla. Eno, moli se;

¹¹And the Lord [said] to him, Rise up and go into the street which is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas one by name Saul, [he is] of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying,

¹²i u viđenju vidje čovjeka imenom Ananiju gdje ulazi i polaže na nj ruke da bi progledao."

¹²and has seen [in a vision] a man by name Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he should see.

¹³Ananija odgovori: "Gospodine, od mnogih sam čuo o tom čovjeku kolika je zla tvojim svetima učinio u Jeruzalemu.

¹³And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;

¹⁴On ima od velikih svećenika i punomoć okovati sve koji prizivlju ime tvoje."

¹⁴and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.

¹⁵Gospodin mu odvrati: "Pođi jer on mi je oruđe izabrano da ponese ime moje pred narode i kraljeve i sinove Izraelove.

¹⁵And the Lord said to him, Go, for this [man] is an elect vessel to me, to bear my name before both nations and kings and [the] sons of Israel:

¹⁶Ja ću mu uistinu pokazati koliko mu je za ime moje trpjeti."

¹⁶for *I* will shew to him how much he must suffer for my name.

¹⁷Ananija ode, uđe u kuću, položi na nj ruke i reče: "Savle, brate! Gospodin, Isus koji ti se ukaza na putu kojim si išao, posla me da progledaš i napuniš se Duha Svetoga."

¹⁷And Ananias went and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus that appeared to thee in the way in which thou camest, that thou mightest see, and be filled with [the] Holy Spirit.

¹⁸I odmah mu s očiju spade nešto kao ljuske te on progleda pa usta, krsti se

¹⁸And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he saw, and rising up was baptised;

¹⁹i uzevši hrane, okrijepi se. Nekoliko dana provede s učenicima u Damasku.

¹⁹and, having received food, got strength. And he was with the disciples who [were] in Damascus certain days.

²⁰te odmah stade po sinagogama propovijedati Isusa, da je on Sin Božji.

²⁰And straightway in the synagogues he preached Jesus that *he* is the Son of God.

²¹Koji ga god slušahu, izvan sebe govorahu: "Nije li ovo onaj koji je u Jeruzalemu istrebljivao sve koji Ime ovo prizivlju, pa i ovamo zato došao da ih okovane odvede pred velike svećenike?"

²¹And all who heard were astonished and said, Is not this *he* who destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name, and here was come for this purpose, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?

²²Savao pak, sve silniji, zbunjivaše Židove koji prebivahu u Damasku dokazujući: "Ovo je Krist!"

²²But Saul increased the more in power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

²³Pošto je minulo podosta vremena, odluče Židovi pogubiti ga,

²³Now when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together to kill him.

²⁴ali Savao dozna za njihov naum. Nadzirahu i vrata danju i noću da bi ga pogubili,

²⁴But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched also the gates both day and night, that they might kill him;

²⁵ali ga učenici noću uzeše i preko zidina oprezno spustiše u košari.

²⁵but the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.

²⁶Kad je Savao došao u Jeruzalem, gledao se pridružiti učenicima, ali ga se svi bojahu: nisu vjerovali da je učenik.

²⁶And having arrived at Jerusalem he essayed to join himself to the disciples, and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

²⁷Tada ga Barnaba uze i povede k apostolima te im pripovjedi kako je Savao na putu vidio Gospodina koji mu je govorio i kako je u Damasku smjelo propovijedao u ime Isusovo.

²⁷But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.

²⁸Od tada se s njima slobodno kretao po Jeruzalemu i smjelo propovijedao u ime Gospodnje.

²⁸And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem,

²⁹Govorio je i raspravljao sa Židovima grčkog jezika pa i oni snovahu pogubiti ga.

²⁹and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and discussed with the Hellenists; but they sought to kill him.

³⁰Saznala to braća pa ga odvedoše u Cezareju i uputiše u Tarz.

³⁰And the brethren knowing it, brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.

³¹Crkva je po svoj Judeji, Galileji i Samariji uživala mir, izgrađivala se i napredovala u strahu Gospodnjem te rasla utjehom Svetoga Duha.

³¹The assemblies then throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord, and were increased through the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

³²Jednom Petar, obilazeći posvuda, siđe i k svetima u Lidi.

³²Now it came to pass that Peter, passing through all [quarters], descended also to the saints who inhabited Lydda.

³³Ondje nađe nekog čovjeka imenom Eneja, koji je osam godina ležao na postelji: bijaše uzet.

³³And he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name, who had been lying for eight years upon a couch, who was paralysed.

³⁴Reče mu Petar: "Eneja, ozdravlja te Isus Krist! Ustani i prostri sam sebi!" On umah usta.

³⁴And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus, the Christ, heals thee: rise up, and make thy couch for thyself. And straightway he rose up.

³⁵Vidješe to svi žitelji Lide i Šarona te se obratiše Gospodinu.

³⁵And all who inhabited Lydda and the Saron saw him, who turned to the Lord.

³⁶U Jopi pak bijaše učenica imenom Tabita, što prevedeno znači Košuta. Bijaše ona bogata dobrim djelima i milostinjama što ih je dijelila.

³⁶And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which being interpreted means Dorcas. She was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.

³⁷Upravo u one dane obolje i umrije. Pošto je operu, izlože je u gornjoj sobi.

³⁷And it came to pass in those days that she grew sick and died; and, having washed her, they put her in [the] upper room.

³⁸A kako je Lida blizu Jope, učenici čuše da je Petar ondje i poslaše k njemu dva čovjeka s molbom: "Dođi k nama, ne oklijevaj!"

³⁸But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming to us.

³⁹Petar usta i krenu s njima. Čim stiže, odvedoše ga u gornju sobu. Okružiše ga sve udovice te mu plačući pokazivahu haljine i odijela što ih je Košuta izrađivala dok je još bila s njima.

³⁹And Peter rising up went with them, whom, when arrived, they brought up into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping and shewing him the body-coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

⁴⁰Petar sve istjera van, kleknu, pomoli se pa se okrenu prema tijelu i reče: "Tabita, ustani!" Ona otvori oči, pogleda Petra i sjede.

⁴⁰But Peter, putting them all out, and kneeling down, prayed. And, turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, sat up.

⁴¹On joj pruži ruku i pridiže je. Onda pozove svete i udovice pa im je pokaza živu.

⁴¹And having given her [his] hand, he raised her up, and having called the saints and the widows, presented her living.

⁴²Dozna se za to po svoj Jopi te mnogi povjerovaše u Gospodina.

⁴²And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.

⁴³Petar osta neko vrijeme u Jopi u nekog Šimuna kožara.

⁴³And it came to pass that he remained many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
