Acts 5 (SAR) · Opened

1Neki pak čovjek po imenu Ananija, zajedno sa svojom ženom Safirom proda imanjeNow a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.

2pa u dogovoru sa ženom odvoji nešto od utrška, a samo jedan dio donese i postavi pred noge apostolima.With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

3Petar mu reče: “Ananija, zašto ti Sotona ispuni srce te si slagao Duhu Svetomu i odvojio od utrška imanja?Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?

4Da je ostalo neprodano, ne bi li tvoje ostalo; i jednoć prodano, nije li u tvojoj vlasti? Zašto si se na takvo što odlučio? Nisi slagao ljudima, nego Bogu!”Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”

5Kako Ananija ču te riječi, sruši se i izdahnu. I silan strah spopade sve koji su to čuli.On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.

6Nato ustanu mladići, poviju ga, iznesu i pokopaju.Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

7Nakon otprilike tri sata uđe njegova žena ne znajući što se dogodilo.About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.

8Petar joj reče: “Reci mi, jeste li za toliko dali imanje?” Ona odgovori: “Da, za toliko.”“Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”

9A Petar će joj: “Što vam bi da se složiste iskušati Duha Gospodnjega? Eto na vratima nogu onih koji ti pokopaše muža! I tebe će iznijeti!”“How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”

10Ona se umah sruši do njegovih nogu i izdahnu. Oni mladići uđu, nađu je mrtvu, iznesu je i pokopaju uz muža.At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

11I silan strah spopade cijelu Crkvu i sve koji su to čuli.And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.

12Po rukama se apostolskim događala mnoga znamenja i čudesa u narodu. Svi su se jednodušno okupljali u Trijemu Salomonovu.The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.

13Nitko se drugi nije usuđivao pridružiti im se, ali ih je narod veličao.Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.

14I sve se više povećavalo mnoštvo muževa i žena što vjerovahu GospodinuYet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.

15tako da su na trgove iznosili bolesnike i postavljali ih na ležaljkama i posteljama ne bi li, kad Petar bude prolazio, bar sjena njegova osjenila kojega od njih.As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.

16A slijegalo bi se i mnoštvo iz gradova oko Jeruzalema: donosili bi bolesnike i opsjednute od nečistih duhova, i svi bi ozdravljali.Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.

17Onda se podiže veliki svećenik i sve njegove pristaše - sljedba saducejska.Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out

18Puni zavisti, pohvataju apostole i strpaju ih u javnu tamnicu.and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.

19Ali anđeo Gospodnji noću otvori vrata tamnice, izvede ih i reče:But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,

20“Pođite i postojano u Hramu navješćujte narodu sve riječi Života ovoga.”“Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”

21Poslušni, u praskozorje su ušli u Hram te naučavali. Uto stiže veliki svećenik i njegove pristaše, sazovu Vijeće i sve starješinstvo sinova Izraelovih pa pošalju u zatvor da ih dovedu.At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.

22Kad stražari stigoše onamo, ne nađoše ih u tamnici pa se vrate i jave:But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:

23“Zatvor smo našli sa svom pomnjom zatvoren i čuvare na straži pred vratima, ali kad smo otvorili, nikoga unutra ne nađosmo.”“We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”

24Kad su hramski zapovjednik i veliki svećenici čuli te riječi, u nedoumici su se pitali što bi to moglo biti.When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.

25Nato netko pristigne i dojavi im: “Eno, ljudi koje baciste u tamnicu, u Hramu stoje i uče narod.”Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”

26Tada zapovjednik sa stražarima ode te ih dovede - ne na silu jer se bojahu da ih narod ne kamenuje.At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.

27Dovedoše ih i privedoše pred Vijeće. Veliki ih svećenik zapita:They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.

28“Nismo li vam strogo zabranili učiti u to Ime? A vi ste eto napunili Jeruzalem svojim naukom i hoćete na nas navući krv toga čovjeka.”“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”

29Petar i apostoli odvrate: “Treba se većma pokoravati Bogu negoli ljudima!But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.

30Bog otaca naših uskrisi Isusa kojega vi smakoste objesivši ga na drvo.The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.

31Njega Bog desnicom svojom uzvisi za Začetnika i Spasitelja da obraćenjem podari Izraela i oproštenjem grijeha.God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.

32I mi smo svjedoci tih događaja i Duh Sveti kojega dade Bog onima što mu se pokoravaju.”We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

33Nato se oni razgnjeviše i htjedoše ih ubiti.When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.

34Ali ustade u Vijeću neki farizej imenom Gamaliel, zakonoznanac, kojega je poštovao sav narod. On zapovjedi da ljude načas izveduBut a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.

35pa će vijećnicima: “Izraelci, dobro promislite što ćete s tim ljudima.“Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.

36Ta prije nekog vremena podiže se Teuda tvrdeći da je netko, i uza nj prista oko četiri stotine ljudi. Bi smaknut i sve mu se pristaše razbjegoše i netragom ih nesta.Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.

37Nakon toga se u dane popisa podiže Juda Galilejac i odvuče narod za sobom. I on propade i sve mu se pristaše raspršiše.After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.

38I sad evo kanite se, velim vam, tih ljudi i otpustite ih. Jer ako je taj naum ili to djelo od ljudi, propast će;So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail.

39ako li je pak od Boga, nećete ga moći uništiti - da se i s Bogom u ratu ne nađete.” Poslušaju gaBut if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”

40pa dozovu apostole, išibaju ih, zapovjede im da ne govore u ime Isusovo pa ih otpuste.At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

41Oni pak odu ispred Vijeća radosni što bijahu dostojni podnijeti pogrde za Ime.The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

42I svaki su dan u Hramu i po kućama neprestance učili i navješćivali Krista, Isusa.Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
