¹After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.

¹Nakon pet dana siđe veliki svećenik Ananija s nekim starješinama i odvjetnikom, nekim Tertulom te izniješe upravitelju tužbu protiv Pavla.

²When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that excellent measures are coming to this nation,

²Pošto dozvaše Pavla, poče ga Tertul optuživati: "Veliki mir što ga po tebi, vrli Felikse, uživamo i boljitak što tvojom providnošću narodu ovomu nastaje,

³we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

³u svemu i posvuda primamo sa svom zahvalnošću.

⁴But, that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.

⁴Ali, da ti dulje ne dodijavam, molim te da nas u svojoj blagonaklonosti ukratko poslušaš.

⁵For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

⁵Utvrdismo da je ovaj čovjek kuga, da pokreće bune među svim Židovima po svijetu, da je kolovođa nazaretske sljedbe,

⁶He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. TR adds “We wanted to judge him according to our law,”

⁶da je čak i Hram pokušao oskvrnuti pa ga uhitismo.

⁷ TR adds “but the commanding officer, Lysias, came by and with great violence took him out of our hands,”

⁷#

⁸ TR adds “commanding his accusers to come to you.” By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”

⁸Od njega, ako ga o svemu tomu ispitaš, možeš saznati za što ga mi optužujemo."

⁹The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.

⁹Podržaše ga i Židovi tvrdeći da je tako.

¹⁰When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,

¹⁰Nato Pavao odvrati pošto mu upravitelj kimnu da govori: "Kako znam da si već mnogo godina sudac narodu ovomu, mirne se duše branim.

¹¹seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.

¹¹Ta možeš se osvjedočiti da nema više od dvanaest dana otkad uzađoh u Jeruzalem da se poklonim.

¹²In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.

¹²A nisu me našli ni u Hramu da s kim raspravljam ili bunu podižem, ni u sinagogama, ni po gradu.

¹³Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.

¹³I ne mogu ti dokazati ono za što me sada optužuju."

¹⁴But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

¹⁴"Jamčim ti, naprotiv, ovo: Putom koji nazivaju sljedbom služim otačkom Bogu vjerujući u sve što je u Zakonu i u Prorocima napisano,

¹⁵having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

¹⁵uzdajući se u Boga da će uskrsnuti pravednici i nepravednici, što oni i sami očekuju.

¹⁶Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

¹⁶Zato se i ja trudim uvijek imati savjest besprijekornu pred Bogom i pred ljudima."

¹⁷Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;

¹⁷"Nakon više godina dođoh da donesem milostinju za svoj narod i prinose;

¹⁸amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.

¹⁸dok sam ih prinosio, nađoše me posvećena u Hramu, a ne sa svjetinom ni u metežu.

¹⁹They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.

¹⁹Ali neki Židovi iz Azije - da, trebalo bi da se oni pojave pred tobom i optuže me ako što imaju protiv mene.

²⁰Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,

²⁰Ili neka ovi sami kažu: koji su zločin na meni našli kad sam stajao pred Vijećem,

²¹unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”

²¹osim možda one jedne riječi koju doviknuh među njima stojeći: Zbog uskrsnuća mrtvih sudi mi se danas pred vama!"

²²But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”

²²Nato Feliks, koji je točno znao sve o ovom Putu, odgodi njihovu parnicu rekavši: "Kada dođe tisućnik Lizija, riješit ću vaš spor."

²³He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.

²³Satniku pak naredi da se Pavao čuva, ali da uživa olakšice i da se nikomu od njegovih ne brani posluživati ga.

²⁴But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁴Nakon nekoliko dana stigne i Feliks sa svojom ženom Druzilom koja bijaše Židovka; posla po Pavla i posluša ga o vjeri u Isusa Krista.

²⁵As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”

²⁵Kad Pavao stade raspravljati o pravednosti, uzdržljivosti i budućem Sudu, Feliks uplašen reče: "Zasad idi, a kad nađem vremena, pozvat ću te."

²⁶Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him.

²⁶Ujedno se nadao da će mu Pavao dati novaca. Zato ga je češće pozivao i s njim razgovarao.

²⁷But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

²⁷Nakon dvije godine dobi Feliks za nasljednika Porcija Festa. Hoteći ugoditi Židovima, ostavi Feliks Pavla u okovima.
