Acts 4 (SAR) · Opened

1Dok su oni još govorili narodu, priđu im svećenici, hramski zapovjednik i saduceji,While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

2ozlovoljeni što uče narod i navješćuju - u Isusu - uskrsnuće od mrtvih;greatly disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

3pograbe ih i bace u tamnicu do sutra jer već bijaše večer.They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day.

4Ipak mnogi od onih koji su čuli Riječ, povjerovaše te broj vjernika poraste nekako do pet tisuća.But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.

5Sutradan se sastadoše u Jeruzalemu glavari, starješine i pismoznanci -The next day the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,

6i veliki svećenik Ana, i Kajfa, i Ivan, i Aleksandar, i svi od roda velikosvećeničkoga.along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others from the high priest’s family.

7Izvedoše apostole preda se pa ih stadoše ispitivati: “Kojom snagom ili po kojem imenu vi to učiniste?”They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

8Onda Petar pun Duha Svetoga reče: “Glavari narodni i starješine!Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people!

9Zar mi danas odgovaramo zbog dobra djela učinjena bolesnu čovjeku? Po kome je ovaj spašen?If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,

10Neka bude znano svima vama i svemu narodu Izraelovu: po imenu Isusa Krista Nazarećanina, kojega ste vi raspeli, a kojega Bog uskrisi od mrtvih! Po njemu ovaj stoji pred vama zdrav!then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

11On je onaj kamen koji vi graditelji odbaciste, ali koji postade kamen zaglavni.This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’

12I nema ni u kome drugom spasenja. Nema uistinu pod nebom drugoga imena dana ljudima po kojemu se možemo spasiti.”Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

13Kad vidješe neustrašivost Petrovu i Ivanovu, a znajući da su to ljudi nepismeni i neuki, bijahu u čudu; znali su ih, da bijahu s Isusom, aliWhen they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they marveled and took note that these men had been with Jesus.

14videći gdje s njima stoji izliječeni čovjek, nisu mogli ništa protusloviti.And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.

15Stoga zapovjediše da izađu iz vijećnice pa stadoše raspravljati:So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.

16“Što ćemo s tim ljudima? Ta učinili su očit znak, poznat svim Jeruzalemcima, ne možemo ga nijekati;“What shall we do with these men?” they asked. “It is clear to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has occurred through them, and we cannot deny it.

17ali da se još više ne razglasi u narod, zaprijetimo im da nikomu živom o tom Imenu više ne govore.”But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”

18Pozvaše ih i zapovjediše im da podnipošto ne zbore niti naučavaju u ime Isusovo.Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

19Ali im Petar i Ivan odgovoriše: “Sudite je li pred Bogom pravo slušati radije vas nego Boga.But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

20Mi doista ne možemo ne govoriti što vidjesmo i čusmo.”For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

21Ali oni ne našavši kako da ih kazne, opet im zaprijete pa ih otpuste poradi naroda jer su svi slavili Boga zbog onoga što se dogodilo.After further threats they let them go. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.

22Jer čovjeku na kom se dogodi čudo ozdravljenja bijaše više od četrdeset godina.For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.

23Otpušteni, odoše svojima i javiše što im rekoše veliki svećenici i starješine.On their release, Peter and John returned to their own people and reported everything that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

24Kad su oni to čuli, jednodušno podigoše glas k Bogu i rekoše: “Gospodine, ti si stvorio nebo i zemlju i more i sve što je u njima!When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

25Ti si na usta oca našega, sluge svoga Davida, po Duhu Svetom rekao: Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David: ‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

26Ustaju kraljevi zemaljski, Knezovi se rotÄe protiv Gospodina i protiv Pomazanika njegova.The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against His Anointed One.’

27RotÄe se, uistinu, u ovome gradu na svetog Slugu tvoga Isusa, kog pomaza, rotÄe se Herod i Poncije Pilat zajedno s narodima i pucima izraelskimIn fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.

28da učine što tvoja ruka i tvoja volja predodredi da se zbude.They carried out what Your hand and will had decided beforehand would happen.

29I evo sada, Gospodine, promotri prijetnje njihove i daj slugama svojim sa svom smjelošću navješćivati riječ tvoju!And now, Lord, consider their threats, and enable Your servants to speak Your word with complete boldness,

30Pruži ruku svoju da bude ozdravljenja, znamenja i čudesa po imenu svetoga Sluge tvoga Isusa.”as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”

31I pošto se pomoliše, potrese se mjesto gdje bijahu sabrani, i svi se napuniše Duha Svetoga te stanu navješćivati riječ Božju smjelo.After they had prayed, their meeting place was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

32U mnoštva onih što prigrliše vjeru bijaše jedno srce i jedna duša. I nijedan od njih nije svojim zvao ništa od onoga što je imao, nego im sve bijaše zajedničko.The multitude of believers was one in heart and soul. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they owned.

33Apostoli pak velikom silom davahu svjedočanstvo o uskrsnuću Gospodina Isusa i svi uživahu veliku naklonost.With great power the apostles continued to give their testimony about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And abundant grace was upon them all.

34Doista, nitko među njima nije oskudijevao jer koji bi god posjedovali zemljišta ili kuće, prodavali bi ih i utržak donosiliThere were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property, bring the proceeds from the sales,

35i stavljali pred noge apostolima. A dijelilo se svakomu koliko je trebao.and lay them at the apostles’ feet for distribution to anyone as he had need.

36A Josip, od apostola prozvan Barnaba, što znači Sin utjehe, levit, rodom Cipranin,Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (meaning Son of Encouragement),

37posjedovaše jednu njivu; proda je pa donese novac i postavi pred noge apostolima.sold a field he owned, brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
