¹Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.”

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

²The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

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

³Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”

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

⁴Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”

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

⁵Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’” Exodus 22:28

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

⁶But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”

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."

⁷When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

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

⁸For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

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

⁹A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”

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?"

¹⁰When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

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.

¹¹The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”

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!"

¹²When it was day, some of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

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

¹³There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.

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

¹⁴They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

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

¹⁵Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”

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."

¹⁶But Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.

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

¹⁷Paul summoned one of the centurions, and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”

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

¹⁸So he took him, and brought him to the commanding officer, and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you, who has something to tell you.”

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."

¹⁹The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”

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

²⁰He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.

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.

²¹Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”

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."

²²So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”

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

²³He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen, and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night about 9:00 PM .”

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

²⁴He asked them to provide animals, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.

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

²⁵He wrote a letter like this:

²⁵Napisa i pismo ovoga sadržaja:

²⁶“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

²⁶"Klaudije Lizija vrlom upravitelju Feliksu - pozdrav!

²⁷“This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

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

²⁸Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.

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

²⁹I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.

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

³⁰When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”

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

³¹So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

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

³²But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.

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

³³When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

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

³⁴When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,

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

³⁵“I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.

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