¹Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

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

²Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

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

³explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”

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

⁴Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

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

⁵But the unpersuaded Jews took along TR reads “And the Jews who were unpersuaded, becoming envious and taking along” instead of “But the unpersuaded Jews took along” some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.

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.

⁶When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

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

⁷whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”

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

⁸The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.

⁸Time uzbuniše svjetinu i glavare koji su to čuli

⁹When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

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

¹⁰The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

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

¹¹Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

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

¹²Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.

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

¹³But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.

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

¹⁴Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

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

¹⁵But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

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

¹⁶Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

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

¹⁷So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.

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

¹⁸Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also TR omits “also” were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

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.

¹⁹They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?

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

²⁰For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”

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

²¹Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

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

²²Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

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

²³For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.

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

²⁴The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands,

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

²⁵neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

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

²⁶He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,

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

²⁷that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

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

²⁸‘For in him we live, and move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

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

²⁹Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

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

³⁰The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

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

³¹because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

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

³²Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

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

³³Thus Paul went out from among them.

³³Tako se Pavao povuče od njih.

³⁴But certain men joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

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