¹The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

¹Prvu sam knjigu, Teofile, sastavio o svemu što je Isus činio i učio

²until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.

²do dana kad je uznesen pošto je dao upute apostolima koje je izabrao po Duhu Svetome.

³To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God’s Kingdom.

³Njima je poslije svoje muke mnogim dokazima pokazao da je živ, četrdeset im se dana ukazivao i govorio o kraljevstvu Božjem.

⁴Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.

⁴I dok je jednom s njima blagovao, zapovjedi im da ne napuštaju Jeruzalema, nego neka čekaju Obećanje Očevo "koje čuste od mene:

⁵ For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

⁵Ivan je krstio vodom, a vi ćete naskoro nakon ovih dana biti kršteni Duhom Svetim."

⁶Therefore when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”

⁶Nato ga sabrani upitaše: "Gospodine, hoćeš li u ovo vrijeme Izraelu opet uspostaviti kraljevstvo?"

⁷He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.

⁷On im odgovori: "Nije vaše znati vremena i zgode koje je Otac podredio svojoj vlasti.

⁸ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”

⁸Nego primit ćete snagu Duha Svetoga koji će sići na vas i bit ćete mi svjedoci u Jeruzalemu, po svoj Judeji i Samariji i sve do kraja zemlje."

⁹When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

⁹Kada to reče, bi uzdignut njima naočigled i oblak ga ote njihovim očima.

¹⁰While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,

¹⁰I dok su netremice gledali kako on odlazi na nebo, gle, dva čovjeka stadoše kraj njih u bijeloj odjeći

¹¹who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”

¹¹i rekoše im: "Galilejci, što stojite i gledate u nebo? Ovaj Isus koji je od vas uznesen na nebo isto će tako doći kao što ste vidjeli da odlazi na nebo."

¹²Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

¹²Onda se vratiše u Jeruzalem s brda zvanoga Maslinsko, koje je blizu Jeruzalema, udaljeno jedan subotni hod.

¹³When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

¹³I pošto uđu u grad, uspnu se u gornju sobu gdje su boravili: Petar i Ivan i Jakov i Andrija, Filip i Toma, Bartolomej i Matej, Jakov Alfejev i Šimun Revnitelj i Juda Jakovljev -

¹⁴All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

¹⁴svi oni bijahu jednodušno postojani u molitvi sa ženama, i Marijom, majkom Isusovom, i braćom njegovom.

¹⁵In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,

¹⁵U one dane ustade Petar među braćom - a bijaše sakupljenog naroda oko sto i dvadeset duša - i reče:

¹⁶“Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.

¹⁶"Braćo! Trebalo je da se ispuni Pismo što ga na usta Davidova proreče Duh Sveti o Judi koji bijaše vođa onih što uhvatiše Isusa.

¹⁷For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.

¹⁷A Juda se ubrajao među nas i imao udio u ovoj službi.

¹⁸Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.

¹⁸On, eto, steče predio cijenom nepravednosti pa se stropošta, raspuče po sredini i razli mu se sva utroba.

¹⁹It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’

¹⁹I svim je Jeruzalemcima znano da se onaj predio njihovim jezikom zove Akeldama, to jest Predio smrti.

²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell therein;’ Psalm 69:25 and, ‘Let another take his office.’ Psalm 109:8

²⁰Pisano je doista u Knjizi psalama: Njegova kuća nek opusti, nek ne bude stanovnika u njoj! Njegovo nadgledništvo nek dobije drugi!

²¹“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

²¹Jedan dakle od ovih ljudi što bijahu s nama za sve vrijeme što je među nama živio Gospodin Isus -

²²beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

²²počevši od krštenja Ivanova pa sve do dana kad bi uzet od nas - treba da bude svjedokom njegova uskrsnuća.

²³They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

²³I postaviše dvojicu: Josipa koji se zvao Barsaba a prozvao se Just, i Matiju.

²⁴They prayed, and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

²⁴Onda se pomoliše: "Ti, Gospodine, poznavaoče svih srdaca, pokaži koga si od ove dvojice izabrao

²⁵to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”

²⁵da primi mjesto ove apostolske službe kojoj se iznevjeri Juda da ode na svoje mjesto."

²⁶They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

²⁶Onda baciše kocke i kocka pade na Matiju; tako bi pribrojen jedanaestorici apostola.
